The sea is naturally rough, and the boat will shake violently with each wave on the surface of the water, and if the person on it is unstable, it is very likely that he will fall into the sea.
It is inevitable that the sea water will sink and float, that is, the big ship will also shake in the seawater, but it will be much more stable than the small boat.
The boat slowly approached the "Xingyang" gunboat, Huang Yi found that the expression on the face of the rescued person was getting stiffer and stiffer, and he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "The sea water is a little cold, and it will be warm to eat some hot food on the boat." ” The temperature of the sea water is lower than that of the inland river, and the difference between the sea water and the water of the inland river in some sea areas is even more than 10 degrees, and people will quickly lose temperature if they fall into the water.
"Thank you so much."
Qin Gui had nothing to say, and asked, "Who is my brother?"
"I am also a Han person, and I have met a certain rescue, so what is the thanks."
Huang Yi looked at Qin Gui's expression relaxed, and instead of answering his own people, he asked: "The owners of the two ships are Han, where are they?"
Qin Gui said, "Junior brother is officially the owner of one of the ships. ” "Is it the sunken ship, or the unsunken one" Tian Fang guessed himself: "It's the unsunken one, or if you don't look at your appearance, it doesn't look like it's distressed." ” Qin Gui is expression stiffened when he was spoken.
The boat stopped on the side of the gunboat "Xingyang", and the gunboat dropped a grid in order to allow the boat's people to climb onto the boat.
In fact, whether it is a military ship or a civilian ship, there is basically no staircase to connect the horizontal plane, and the only way to get on the boat in the sea is to rely on a grid made of climbing rope sheaths.
In the distance, Hassan saw Qin Gui and the others get on the boat, and called out to his companions to get ready.
"They," Hadisan shouted, "Why didn't they follow the plan, and as soon as they got on the boat, they started fighting."
Hassan looked stunned, and really saw that the deck of the "Xingyang" gunboat had broken out into fighting, and couldn't help but scold: "I know that the Han people are unreliable."
It was really a fight, the reason was that there was such a person who couldn't stand the torture of conscience, or didn't think that his people could do anything, so he deliberately stayed on the boat, waited for everyone else to get on the boat, and yelled at Qin Gui and others for their evil intentions.
Qin Gui and the others were also weak-hearted, and when they were yelled at like that, someone actually did something to snatch the soldiers' weapons, and the soldiers who reacted naturally attacked, and dozens of people also fought on the deck.
The full strength of the gunboat "Xingyang" is 320 men, including 70 marines, and 13 are on deck in normal times.
When the soldiers on the ship heard the roar and saw the rescued people snatching their weapons, they were actually a little stunned, and they felt incredible in their hearts, and at the same time, the soldiers closest to the attackers immediately attacked.
"Hurry up," Hassan yelled: "The ships move, and the people in the water swim to the enemy ships" The distance between the ships of the two sides was less than 80 meters, and at the same time, the gunboat "Xingyang" dropped its sails because it wanted to save people, but the ships that were camouflaged were hit by the collision but lowered their anchors and did not lower their sails.
Liang Min was actually stunned for a moment when the attack happened, and reacted and yelled: "Sink it" It's so fucked up The Han Empire was in full swing, and in the past, not to mention the attacks on warships, even civilian ships did not dare to move by foreign countries.
Today, not only the warships were attacked, but also the citizens of their own country participated, what were those Han people thinking, so that they would attack their warships together with other races "Don't worry about the people on the deck" Qin Gui kept yelling: "To attack the flagship room, we must control the officers so that we have a chance to live" The turret on the battleship was already turning, and the swarthy muzzle was pointed at the approaching ship, and the next moment it let out a roar.
When Hassan and Hadisan saw the turret of the gunboat Xingyang turning, they jumped from the ship into the sea without thinking, shouting for the nearby boats to wait for them.
Four cannon shots rang out in a row, and the shelled ship was torn open four large holes, and at that moment it was sawdust flying, and even if the people in the explosive position were not killed by the shells, the flying sawdust would have killed and injured them heavily.
After four loud movements, at least twenty less moving cannons erupted in a row.
The twenty rounds were from the secondary guns on the side of the ship, which were much smaller in caliber than the main guns.
The caliber of the main gun is one hundred and eighty mm, and the secondary gun is from seventy-five mm to forty-five mm.
"I didn't want it, I didn't want it."
Shi Xian held his head in both hands, looked at Huang Yi and Tian Fang, who were guarding him, with a painful expression, and kept saying, "They coerced me.
I denounced them, did I make a meritorious service?"
All the abnormalities before have become normal after the attack.
When I found that two boats collided twice in a row, I saw the nervousness or panic of those people when I went to save people, not because of the emotional changes after the accident, but because of the ghost in my heart Huang Yi and Tian Fang glanced at each other, they couldn't give Shi Xian any answer, but they really had to be glad that Shi Xian's heart was not good, otherwise the more than 20 people who were rescued would get out of the cabin, and then they would be suddenly attacked, and the environment in the cabin would be far more complicated than the deck, and it would definitely be very troublesome.
If it is attacked to a position with gunpowder, the consequences will be unimaginable Inside the turret, the gunner chief Lu Zhe observed the effect of the shelling through the telescope, and had already asked the loader to replace the blasting shell.
"Reload Complete" "Aim Ready" "Open the gun" Four cannon shots rang out at intervals, and when they all hit again, the sails and masts of that ship had been slashed, and the hull above the horizon looked even more shambled.
Before the main cannon fired, the secondary cannon had already fired another round, and Lu Zhe saw that the other party could no longer move, and saw that the sea water was full of fluttering figures, and he walked out of the fort with a cruel smile.
The gunboat was the highest manifestation of the Han Empire's military force, even if the secondary guns did not join the shelling, the two salvos of the four main guns could completely paralyze the enemy ship.
The ship that had been bombarded with holes not only stopped moving, but its hull also began to sink.
Lu Zhe came to the side of the ship, pushed away a comrade who was operating the cannon, and pulled the trigger on the boat that rowed the oars with the cannon.
The cannon has a caliber of twenty-three mm and has a drum, each of which is filled with copper shells, and the capacity of one drum is thirty rounds.
Not only were the cannons operated by Lu Zhe firing at the boats, a total of six cannons were firing, and there were also marines armed with flintlock pistols on the deck who joined the fire.
Qin Gui and the others, who had been on the boat before, were all dealt with in less than five minutes, and there was no threat at all.
In fact, there were always thirteen heavily armed marines on the deck, and there were no less than fifteen sailors, and some off-duty men who had gone on deck to help, no less than fifty men.
Although not all of the fifty people wore weapons, Qin Gui and the other twenty or so people also did not have weapons.
The pattern on the deck is not complicated, it can even be said to be empty, even if it encounters a sudden attack, it will be a little stunned at first, resulting in some wounded, but when the Marine Corps and relevant crew members reacted, Qin Gui and other twenty or so people did not even have the ability to flutter, and soon Qin Gui and other twenty or so people were either dead or captured.
The lookouts in the top of the mast were the first to notice the ship behind them, and then all the lookouts sent a report downward.
"Seven came from the side, and two from the back."
Xiao Xin is an intelligence officer, so he naturally needs to coordinate the known information: "This ship can be on sail within ten minutes at the earliest."

They couldn't get there for an hour. ” At sea, if you have enough eyesight, you can spot distant ships from a distance.
Xiao Xin said that the premise that the other party can get close within an hour is that their battleship stops in place, and if they move to form a chase, close contact will be a distant thing.
Liang Min's face was full of hideousness at this moment.
It was attacked, and although it didn't cause any trouble, it was really attacked No matter which route the Han Empire's navy sailed on, they were the only ones who were always domineering, and foreign ships could only swallow their anger even if they encountered unreasonable things.
"The other party is at full speed."
Xiao Xin was also angry: "Please give the captain an order." ” "Warning shot."
Liang Min had a cold face: "No matter who they are, let them lower the sails."
Warnings are invalid, free tilt fire" Chen Tan wanted to speak and stopped, but there was still no sound behind him.
They were attacked, and the next moment a fleet of ships came at full speed, and they could already guess that the comers were not good.
If the sails are lowered in the middle of a warning shot, it is a natural expression of non-hostility.
If you still approach at full speed during the warning shot, let alone a foreign ship, even if it is a native ship, if you dare to ignore the warning shot, you deserve to be sunk.
"Something must have happened."
Chen Tan said with a grim face: "Otherwise, how dare they attack the warship." ” Liang Min just said "hmm" and didn't talk.
It is inevitable that something will happen, and the difference is whether there is only an accident in the overseas territories or an accident at home and abroad.
"Solve the matter here" Liang Min took a deep breath: "Return to the military port again." ” The ships that were approaching at full speed, I wonder if they had telescopes as a tool.
If there is, the trouble of being able to observe the "Xingyang" from a long distance has been solved, and knowing that the "Xingyang" is not in trouble and dares to approach at full speed, it is either inevitable or has a fearless spirit.
Lu Zhe emptied the drum, and when he saw the comrade who had been robbed of the shooting position, he looked complaining, and laughed and made way of the way: "This thing shoots, and the whole pedestal is shaking, it's really hard."
The cannon has a pedestal and can be rotated 360 degrees, and a turntable is required to control the steering.
"A row swept over, and if you are hit, it will directly become a blood mist."
Lu Zhezhen felt that it was too hard to shoot people with a machine gun: "The failure rate of this thing is not as exaggerated as the rumors."
Song Hui, who was already full of depression, became even more depressed when he heard it, and said quietly: "This is the third-generation machine gun."
It's a drum, not a chain.
Every bullet is carefully selected again and again, and there is an ultra-high failure rate, so the high research cost is wasted, or the loader is lazy. ” "It's just too big and bulky."
Lu Zhe blinked his eyes and said: "That is, it is installed on the ship as a fixed battery, even if it can be pulled by animal power on land, it is not so easy to stop and install." ” To tell the truth, the third-generation cannon is much larger than the previous two.
If you want to use it on land, it is mounted on a wooden frame, and once you shoot, the maximum possibility is to give the frame to the shelf.
If you build an iron frame, even if the animal power can pull it, it will not be much faster, and the cost will be too exaggerated.
The third-generation cannons were either installed on warships or arranged in fixed fortifications.
Because the production is still too small, there are not many troops equipped with third-generation cannons at present, except for the gunboats, only Miyagi has installed them.
The "Xingyang", which raised its sails, twisted, and the bow of the ship was facing the approaching flotilla.
The seven ships did not lower their sails after being fired at with warnings, but the other two ships lowered their sails after being fired at with warnings.
Liang Min didn't intend to deal with the two ships that lowered their sails, and in the face of the seven ships that were still approaching at full speed after being warned and fired, he naturally chose the latter.
Next, the battle that could not even be called a naval battle began, because the main gun and the secondary gun of the "Xingyang" fired a salvo one after another during the high-speed movement, probably because of good luck, the first salvo hit the horizontal side of one of the ships, and the second salvo broke the waist of one of them.
The fleet of seven ships was at least 500 meters away from the "Xingyang" before two were lost, and the remaining five immediately dispersed.
"Confirmed to be an enemy ship."
Liang Min showed a hideous expression: "Escape at the speed of their ship, and still want to escape" If it weren't for the gunboats here, it would be difficult to destroy them all if they could catch up with the enemy ships and flee in the face of scattered ships.
However, it is a gunboat here, and her main gun can shoot more than 1,000 meters, that is, the farther away, the lower the hit rate, but if it can reach within 500 meters, the hit rate can be maintained at about 30 percent, as long as it can hit a sail, the enemy ship will definitely slow down, and then it will be better to fight.
"Even if you go back to the military port now, what should have happened has happened."
Liang Min sought the advice of the first mate Chen Tan: "Eliminate the remaining five, check the two that lowered the sails, and then go back" Chen Tan has his own judgment, he believes that according to the current trend, as long as the main gun is not out of order, it is probably possible to paralyze an enemy ship every three rounds of salvo, and each salvo takes about three minutes, and at the same time, it is enough to get close to the lower secondary gun to join the firing, and even closer to the machine gun can also join the firing, so of course continue to fight.
"Night is the final battle" Chen Tan got Liang Min's reply after asking, and nodded: "Then continue to fight." ” In the sea area where they are currently located, it takes about seven hours to get to the military port of Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, and more than twenty-four hours to return to Annam Metropolitan Protectorate
