Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1067

This naval battle was extremely cruel. Within half an hour of the firefight, eleven warships sank into the sea while burning, and more than [-] people died in the belly of the fish.However, this kind of cruelty seems to be aimed at the Arab pirates. In the exchange of fire, they didn't even have the power to fight back. Just punched sixteen holes in the Ming army fleet, and the splashed sawdust killed two Ming army sailors and killed many people, that's all!

It's not at the same level at all!The Arabian pirates expressed that they were feeling overwhelmed, and the feeling of being flattened on the ground was not pleasant.

They pressed people on the ground and beat them wildly. The Ming army fleet didn't show any restraint. They were looking for someone to enjoy the scenery on the sea. Attacking, this is clearly the rhythm of going to the toilet with a lantern-looking for shit!Since these people want to die, there is no reason for them not to be fulfilled, your sister, how can there be such a good thing if you run away after pretending to be aggressive in front of me!Han Suquan yelled: "Catch me! Don't let them run away!"

The flagship hoisted the red battle flag, and the war drums of the other warships were beating at the same time. The rumbling drums resounded like thunder across the sea and sky. The five warships were full of sails and pierced into the back of the Arabian pirate fleet like arrows. !Especially those two frigates, they were so fast that they had no friends. From a distance, they looked like two petrels spreading their wings and skimming across the sea, leaving behind two white wakes. Their momentum was truly astonishing.The Arabian pirate who was in charge of breaking the rear was terrified and screamed: "What kind of ghost ship is this, how can it be so fast!"

"Raise the sail two more steps, quick!"

"It's already full, and it can't go up any further!"

"We are finished! Who will save us!"

The astonishing speed of the frigate frightened the hapless pirates. There was still a considerable distance between the two sides, and the pirates fell into a panic.They had already experienced the terrible firepower of the warships of the Ming army. Looking at the black muzzles of the naval guns, their legs became weak.But they never dreamed that the warships of the Ming army were so fast. This time it was a disaster. Not only could they not win, they couldn't even escape!Everyone is greeting the female relatives of the red bearded family fiercely in their hearts, grandma, do you have eyes, and you treat such a difficult target as a fat sheep, it's really too cheating!
It's useless to scold them now, the speed of those two frigates is too fast, and they have already killed them before they can come up with a countermeasure.The four battleships in charge of cutting the rear side of the hull, aimed their broadsides at the chasing frigate, and opened fire before the opponent entered the optimal range. More than 30 naval guns firing at the same time is indeed spectacular. The rumbling sound of the guns almost suppressed the howling of the waves, but the substantive effect was very sad. , but it's useless.Several fleets shouted in horror: "Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Kill them with the starboard artillery!"

The sailors did not obey their orders. The psychological pressure given to them by the two warships that seemed to never be shot has exceeded the limit of their psychological endurance. They yelled and jumped into the sea, trying to escape the coming Devastating blow.Facts have proved that their choice is very wise. Facing the opponent who had given up resistance, the two frigates showed no mercy. Each of the pirate ships was hit by one or two shells, and a fire broke out immediately. Now, the pirates who were still on the ship desperately steering the battleship and tried to fight back with the starboard artillery had to jump into the sea to escape. If they don't escape, they will be burned alive!

The two frigates were straightforward. After setting the four pirate ships on fire, they stopped firing. They swaggered past the burning pirate ships and continued to chase the main force of the fleeing pirate fleet.But those pirates who jumped into the sea should not rush to rejoice, because the relatively slower Ming warships arrived immediately, and they routinely fired at the pirate ships that were already on fire. Two shells, boom boom boom boom, these unlucky pirate ships burst into flames!After doing this, these warships ignored the pirates who were struggling at sea and drove away, leaving the pirates with faint wakes full of disdain.The distance from here to the nearest island is more than 20 nautical miles, and those pirates can't swim there even if they have superb skills, so... there is no hope, wait for death, farewell!
Soon, shoals of sharks surrounded them, and those pirates who were flopping on the sea suddenly fell into the sky...

Seeing the Ming fleet chasing up again, the red beard was startled and angry, and immediately raised a semaphore to let the last two warships seize the wind, occupy a favorable position and fire to block the attack. Fleeing at a fast speed, hurried like a dog that has lost its home, hurried like a fish that slipped through the net, how can there be any prestige of a sea monster?
The last two warships were naturally not happy, the enemy army is so strong, turning back to block is tantamount to death, who would be willing!But the red beard was ruthless, and everyone was extremely afraid of him, and no one dared to disobey his orders, so they could only bite the bullet and turn around, occupying a fairly good position and firing fiercely, blocking the chasing frigate.

At this time, the sun had risen three poles high, and the dazzling sunlight sprinkled on the sea, floating like gold.The chasing warships of the Ming army were facing the sun, and the gunners were blinded by the sun when aiming, and the shooting fell short.The two pirate warships took the opportunity to fire violently, retreating while fighting.They have already realized that their naval guns are too powerful, even if they can hit, it is difficult to cause much damage to the warships of the Ming army. So under the command of the captain, the pirates lit several pots of fire in the cabin and threw the shot ball into the fire. It burns red, and then puts it into the barrel and fires it out.Several red-hot shot balls hit the battleship of the Ming army, and flames immediately burst out.For the wooden hull, such a blow is enough of a threat. If it can hit Dacai to hit the opponent's gun position and detonate the gunpowder barrel, it will definitely be a hit. Unfortunately, the gunpowder used by the Ming army is different from what they know. It is difficult to detonate the propellant of the naval gun of the Ming Dynasty even if the red-hot lead ball directly hits it.

After being bombarded several times, the two frigates became a little angry. Regardless of the glare of the light, they opened fire and bombarded while approaching quickly.Due to the poor viewing and aiming conditions, several naval gun salvos failed to hit the target, but it also frightened the pirates enough to avoid them in panic.But the pirates soon realized that something was wrong: while they were dodging shells, the Ming army used winches to hoist several things that were similar to canoes but much smaller in size from the deck and put them into the water. What do you want?

The next moment they knew what the "Venetians" were up to.

call out--

The tails of those canoes-like things suddenly emitted white smoke and flames, and a strong thrust propelled them, soaring out like sharp arrows, and the speed quickly reached 400 knots, and it was still accelerating. It's an incredible speed!They pulled out straight wakes on the sea surface, like sharp long swords, and pierced the two unlucky pirate ships. The distance between the two sides was only about [-] meters. This speed was almost within a snap of your fingers. !Seeing these things approaching at high speed with their white tracks, the pirates are going crazy, what kind of thing is this!

Due to their poor accuracy, most of these secret weapons sprinting at amazing speeds on the sea missed. Only one hit the starboard side of the Black Skull pirate ship successfully. Only a loud click was heard, and the pirate ship was hit below the waterline. A big hole was made, and a semicircular metal object was deeply wedged into the interior of the hull, and then...

boom! ! !
The entire hull of the Black Skull jumped upwards with a loud crash. Twenty kilograms of picric acid explosives exploded violently in the cabin, shattering the keel into pieces. Large pieces of the ship turned into large and small fireballs. Splashing, the explosion shock wave rushed through the cabin and rushed up to the deck, blowing away a large piece of the deck. Flames spurted out and shot straight up, which was spectacular.The power of this explosion was so terrifying that it turned the Black Skull into a burning matchbox in one fell swoop. Nearly half of the pirates on board were turned into mincemeat with the loud bang!
The pirates who were not killed by the bombing were all frightened and dumbfounded. They all stared at the approaching Ming army warships, and their hearts collapsed. Who are these people? They are so ruthless!
The two frigates were not satisfied with such a record, and immediately put down three more of the same thing, aimed, ignited, and launched!A scream of death caused the hearts of the pirates on the Black Shark pirate ship to shrink to the size of a walnut, and they jumped into the sea without hesitation.Leaving aside whether they could survive jumping into the sea, at least they could escape this terrible explosion!
Another wise choice.

With two loud bangs, the Black Shark suffered two shots in a row. A total of [-] kilograms of picric acid explosives exploded violently inside the hull, blowing up the ship on the spot, and every crack was spraying fire. Every ship plank was burning, and the pirates who didn't jump into the sea were either killed on the spot or stunned on the spot, and then they were caught in the fire. Anyway, they were dead!
The pirates who jumped into the sea and escaped were all dumbfounded. They didn't come back to their senses until the two frigates ran away.Which kind of heroes did they provoke? It seems that the Venetians don't have such terrifying weapons, right?
Unbeknownst to these pirates, they set a record by being the first to be torpedoed.That's right, those two frigates launched torpedoes. This kind of torpedo uses a thin wooden shell as the shell and is hollow inside. The front end is a warhead equipped with 400 kilograms of picric acid, and the tail has two nozzles. After aiming at the target, it is ignited, and the fuse ignites several catties of powdered black powder installed inside. The gas generated by the deflagration of the black powder is ejected violently from the metal nozzle, generating a strong thrust to push the torpedo forward and go straight to the target. And go!This is a very primitive and rough weapon. Even if it reaches [-] meters, the hit rate is quite low, but the charge of [-] kilograms is extremely deadly, and no ship can hold a single shot!Those two frigates made the Black Shark and the Black Skull a little angry, and directly moved out this big killer, giving these two pirate ships a shot!
Redbeard heard a terrifying explosion from behind him and turned around, only to see two fireballs rising into the night sky, with countless large and small fragments flying in the sky, like a flock of crows.His face was pale with horror, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't speak, he kept urging the pirates to speed up, speed up!This group of people is too ruthless to be provoked, so he can run away as far as he can!
