The officers on board shouted loudly, the non-commissioned officers and sailors all went into battle, holding weapons and stood by all over the deck, while several non-commissioned officers took grenades and hid behind wooden boxes, quietly waiting for the enemy ship to come up.At this time, the battleship had just reached five paces, and more than a dozen flying hooks flew over from the British ship and hooked the side of the Weiyuan.Yingyi's rampant, somewhat unexpected by the Ming army, the general naval battle is the Ming army throwing the hook, afraid that the enemy ship will run away, but this time it was hooked by the enemy ship.On the Yingyi flagship, a series of shouts sounded, and the sailors excitedly pulled the ropes, pulling the distance of the ship from five steps to within two steps.As the distance narrowed, more than a dozen people on each side of the two ships began to pierce the opposite side of the ship with spears, and the long weapons began to fight.For a while, between the two warships, spears came and went, a Ming sergeant was stabbed in the throat, covered his throat with both hands, blood flowed out of his fingers, and fell on the deck in pain.The Ming army also used spears to stab to death a white soldier who stood on the side of the ship and wanted to jump over.As soon as the white man jumped up, a spear went up to it, and the spear pierced it, and stabbed him so deeply that he fell into the gap between the two boats with his spear, and the sea immediately turned red.And just when the two sides were fighting each other and constantly exchanging deaths, there was a loud "bang", and the sides of the two warships finally collided together.The battleships collided first, and the hulls of the two battleships squeezed against each other, leaned to one side, then fell back under the shaking of the distance, and finally were pulled together again by ropes.At the moment when the hull of the ship gradually stabilized, Yingyi's deck erupted with an earth-shattering roar, and nearly 100 Yingyi concentrated on the side of the ship, rushed to the gap in the side of the ship, and showed the short axe and short sword in his hand.With a long sail line on the deck and long weapons at bay, the descendants of the Vikings showed off their expertise.At this time, a sailor wearing plate armor and a tin can, picked up an axe, like a knight in the Middle Ages, and jumped directly to the Weiyuan, but was shot in the chest, and the cuirass flew back with a dent in the breastplate, and smashed his head and feet on the deck, and passed out directly."
Grenadier!"
At this time, the officer of the Ming army came to his senses and hurriedly shouted.Several grenadiers, busy lighting the grenades, and threw them into the deck of the British ship.The two sergeants who were fighting with spears, knives, and bayonets on the side of the ship saw a few black objects, flashing with fire, leaping overhead.The British, who were huddled on the side of the ship and fighting desperately, looking for an opportunity, violently jumped into the gang battle, but before they could react, there was a "boom" behind them, a violent explosion, and they were swept away by the air waves.Many people were unsteady on their feet, and their bodies fell forward, directly hitting the spearheads and bayonets of the Ming army, and blood splattered in an instant.The air wave generated by the explosion swept across the deck, and the British troops who were crowded on the side of the ship were shot in the body in the violent white light, and rushed forward to die, or were knocked down by the air wave and smashed on the side of the ship.A grenade was also eaten on the helm of the British ship, seven or eight officers were blown off the helm, and the commander also fell in a pool of blood.At this time, Zheng Chenggong saw the opportunity and immediately roared loudly, "Kill it!"
”The Ming officers, seeing the opportunity, suddenly took the lead and jumped on the deck of the enemy ship, slashing at both sides, and the Ming sergeants followed the swarm, rushed over the side of the ship together, and engaged in a melee on the deck of the British ship.The people on the two ships were originally about the same, but just now the British were too concentrated, and they were overshadowed by the Ming army's grenades, and they lost nearly half of their men at once.At this time, as the Ming army poured onto the deck, the two sides fought to the death on the narrow deck, and the Ming army, which had the advantage in numbers, naturally occupied the advantage of the battlefield.On the helm of the British ship, an officer rushed up, picked up the commander who was covered in blood from the explosion, and then shouted an order.Several British soldiers rushed to the side of the ship and cut the rope with their axes, trying to break away from the Ming warship.The rope was cut off, and the two warships immediately opened up to the gap.Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong immediately pulled out his waist knife, his figure flashed forward, and rushed to the side of the ship.Zheng Chenggong slashed to death a British soldier who wanted to cut the rope, and the knife was swift, and he cut down several people in a row cleanly, successfully stopping the British soldier, cutting the rope, and separating the warship.The British on the helm tower did not expect that the good string battle would be like this.He saw that he could not separate the warship, and the other warships were fighting against the Ming ship, and there was no ship to come up for reinforcements.The British officer knew that the flagship could not be defended, so he hurriedly shouted to Wangdou.The British soldiers on the mainmast hurriedly hung up the order flag, and at this moment, a gunshot rang out, and the British soldiers in Wangdou screamed, fell down, and smashed on the deck.Zheng Chenggong was in the middle of the fight, and when he saw the British officer on the helm, he immediately waved his knife and pointed, "Kill!"
”Yang Geng immediately led a group of people and rushed towards the helmhouse, while the British officer hurriedly asked the sergeants to lower the stern boat.The British put the bloody commander into a small boat and lowered it to the sea.This was a small boat for escape, or landing, and the British officer did not hold on to the flagship, but took the commander and rowed to another nearby British battleship in a panic.The Ming soldiers used muskets and bows and arrows to shoot the British soldiers on the commanding heights, and then cleaned the British from the deck and cabin, while Zheng Chenggong rushed to the helm tower with Yang Geng.In a short time, they killed all the British who stood in their way, and stood on the helm of the British flagship, the small boat carrying the British commander, which had been salvaged by another British ship.At this time, it was a French warship that took over the command, and the French commander found that the Ming army was very strong in close combat, and the fleet could not bargain, and he was worried that his losses would be too large, so he immediately hoisted the order flag to leave the battlefield.The enemy ships, which had not yet engaged, turned their sails one after another, and those engaged in the battle cut off the ropes and separated from the Ming ships.Weiyuan is the flagship of the Ming army, located at the top of the "eight", so most of the other ships have not yet been connected and can still be separated."
Your Highness!
Enemy ships are going to run!
To chase or not to chase!
”Yang Geng looked at the turning enemy ship and shouted urgently.Zheng Chenggong looked at the enemy ships that were turning around, and shook his head with deep eyes.The strength of the enemy fleet made Zheng Chenggong feel a little frightened, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.The combat power of Yingyi and Fayi at sea was stronger than that of the Dutch that the Ming army had met before, and their warships were also stronger than the Ming army in terms of quality.In the broadside battle just now, if it hadn't been for the grenade that took the British by surprise, the Ming army might not have been able to capture the British flagship.Now the Ming army is pursuing, and it can't get any cheap, but if the battleship doesn't chase, the artillery still has to fight."
Give orders to all ships, clear the battlefield, and shell enemy ships!"
Zheng Chenggong roared loudly, "We can't let the enemy ship break away easily. ”()
