Chapter 861 Fear that if it is the official navy of another country, it is defeated in the battle with the Ming Royal Navy, and it can raise the flag and surrender, or it can also get a chance to live, but it is just a pirate, and it is obviously not among them.After the Ming Royal Navy captured pirates in battle, they would sell them to mine owners, and no matter how brave the pirates were, they would become obedient to those mine owners.If they do not accept it, it means that they are not hungry enough, and if they are hungry for a few more days, they will be dizzy and their limbs weak, and they will become obedient.Strong pirates are the favorite slaves of mine owners, and the Ming Dynasty is a civilized empire, so naturally there will be no such phenomenon as slaves, these slaves will never be recorded, and no one will care about their life and death.The warships of the Ming Royal Navy have the advantage of speed, as long as they encounter the pirates of the Ming Royal Navy, it is impossible to escape, and no one will see them, and the pirates who have seen them will either die or be slaves in which corner.Redbeard didn't know what kind of trouble he had already provoked, just when the Ganning was surrounded by Arab pirates led by Redbeard, the warships of the surrounding Daming Expeditionary Force also quickly formed a tight encirclement on the periphery, and it is no exaggeration to say that Redbeard is now meat on the pallet."
There is no navy of either the Mughal Dynasty or the Kingdom of Ceylon that wears a black uniform and uses a black tiger as a flag."
Ah Hemai, whose face was wrinkled like dried oranges, was also a little confused, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Could it be a mercenary invited by the Indians or Ceylones?"
”"Mercenaries?
If they really are mercenaries, then they will surely regret why they took this business!
”Redbeard smirked.Coastal countries and towns are overwhelmed by pirates' raids, and they pay a lot of money to hire mercenaries to help them defend themselves against pirate attacks, such things are very common in Europe and South Asia, and Redbeard has encountered many times, who calls Indians rich?
However, he did not take those mercenaries seriously, his subordinates were all the darlings of Allah, all of them had first-class martial arts and first-class boat skills, as well as very sophisticated weapons and equipment, how could those mercenaries compare?
Although the target of the robbery suddenly turned into a battleship, it was indeed unexpected, but he was fully confident that he could use the ship's guns and scimitars to kill the mercenaries and snatch their warship!
Redbeard immediately commanded his fleet, and killed this "mercenary warship" as quickly as possible, and the deployment changed rapidly, from being surrounded on all sides to being flanked on both sides, and he led the main fleet, a total of thirteen Dutch-style Galen ships, and the wind outlets were lined up.This position was very favorable, with its back to the rising sun, and the enemy fleet confronting him had to face the sun, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, the sun came out, and the harsh sunlight would make the opposing gunners unable to open their eyes, and the hit rate of the shot was greatly reduced, this was his experience.As he got closer, he could clearly see that there were only a handful of guns on the enemy warships, not to mention his fleet, even if they were far from the armed merchant ships.Redbeard only thinks it's funny, he dares to be a mercenary with such a shabby firepower configuration, and the waves all over the world?
I really don't know how to write dead words!
Su Xing didn't move, he watched the movement of the pirate fleet with interest, and saw that the other party's action of more than 20 warships quickly mobilized, and cooperated tacitly.Purely from this calmness and fluency, it is indeed better than the cooperation of the Ming Royal Navy, Su Xing nodded slowly and said: "These white hats still have real talents, no wonder they can cross the sea for decades!"
”The guide almost cried: "For......
For......
Why......
Don't fire yet?
If you don't fire any more guns, they'll rush over!
”"Don't rush, don't rush, let them rush over!"
Su Xing said with a faint smile: "Our shells are very expensive and cannot be easily wasted. ”"No matter how expensive the cannonball is, how can human life be expensive?"
The guide jumped to his feet and shouted, "If we let them rush over, we will die!"
We're all going to die......"
Su Xing stared coldly at the guide and said, "If you continue to make noise like this, you will die now!"
”The guide shuddered and quickly shut up and hid in the cabin to pray for God's blessing.He regrets it now, his intestines are green, he knew that this trip was so fatal, he shouldn't have coveted the rich reward and volunteered to run to the navy to be a guide!
Well, now follow a group of fools and madmen who stupidly watched the pirates rush over and didn't know how to intercept them, he was considered dead, he was either thrown into the sea to feed the fish or cut into pieces by a scimitar, anyway, don't think about dying!
But there is also good news, after his death, his family will receive a settling-in fee, which is enough to raise the child......
No one paid attention to the guide's thoughts, Redbeard gradually felt that something was wrong, the calmness of the Ming fleet surprised Redbeard, under normal circumstances, the mercenaries who were five or six hundred meters away should have fired wildly and bombarded indiscriminately, trying to scare themselves away, why are these people so calm, it seems that they don't take themselves in their eyes at all?
Redbeard was inexplicably a little uneasy, this is the uneasiness of a creature encountering a natural enemy, he has an ominous premonition, this time he is afraid that he will run into a hard bone!
But Ming Jun's super amateur performance didn't look like a battle-hardened team no matter how he looked at it, and he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.Besides, now that the arrow is on the bow, he has to send it, his fleet is approaching only 300 meters away from the other party, he can't go back now and expose his ass to the other party casually, right?
Redbeard coldly ordered: "Shine the port gun, ready to shoot!"
”More than two dozen pirate ships turned left in unison, and rows of black holes on the port side slowly pointed at the battleship Ganning.As the so-called good hunters often appear as prey.If Redbeard pays attention to the sea at this time, he will find that there are large black boxes floating on the sea, which seems to be similar to sea urchins, which is the unique weapon of the Ming Royal Navy, and it is a relatively inexpensive weapon.Redbeard yelled excitedly, "Fire!"
”At this moment, before the words fell, a loud bang slammed into him, which shook Redbeard's eardrums and caused a sharp pain in his eyes, and he didn't care about the buzzing of his ears, and turned his head to look away, only to see countless broken canvas and wood floating like swallows over a battleship rushing in front.The unfortunate battleship seemed to have been hit by a thousand solid buckshot bullets at the same time, the mast was upside down, the deck cracked, the keel was broken, and a huge hole the size of the Eight Immortals' Table was opened, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and the sea began to tilt almost instantly.In the distance, the Ming soldiers of the Ganning were busy with something, and there was no sign of firing the cannon at all."
What the hell is going on?"
There is no one to answer Redbeard's question."
Boom, boom, boom......"
There were three loud bangs to the right, and the midsummer thunder was deafening, and the three well-opened pirate warships rushed up huge columns of water on the sideboards, and the flesh and blood flew in the bilge, revealing a large hole enough for the battleship to sink in an instant, and the sailors who were lucky enough not to be killed to be blown up looked at the rushing sea water and let out a desperate cry.The sound of explosions kept coming, and each loud explosion meant that a battleship was seriously injured, and the smaller tonnage was even blown in two.The redbeard pirate fleet fell from heaven to hell at once, completely unaware of what was going on, and watched the explosions around him like a thunderstorm, terrified.Someone noticed that something seemed to be moving with the waves under the water at a depth of one meter, and he was shocked to go out of his body, and shouted wildly: "There is something in the sea, there is something in the sea......"
With this reminder, everyone came back to their senses and looked at the sea, only to find that there were indeed many iron bumps moving underwater, and there were so many dumplings that they were terrifying.These iron bumps are covered with tentacles, similar to sea urchins, and once they hit them, they explode like the sky and the earth shattering, blowing the warship to pieces!
Redbeard, Ahmai and other leaders turned pale and horrified, looking at these lawless iron lumps floating around, he knew that this was a trap, the sailors on this battleship were very amateurish, all fake, all in order to lead them into this terrible trap and use these terrible things against them!
In fact, with many improvements, mines have become more mature, and due to the mature use of nitrocellulose (TNT), mines are more powerful.It is no exaggeration to say that even a capital battleship of more than 1,000 tons like the Ganning was hit by a non-sinking and crippled.Not to mention these warships under Redbeard, their warships are mainly Galen ships, ranging from 400 to 800 tons, as long as they are hit by mines, then the consequences are quite serious.The Ganning lost four battleships without firing a single shot, and this was only the beginning, not the end.The most primitive mines, in fact, are not very reliable, the success rate of firing is quite low, the technicians who do not study mines, forget to sleep and eat, repeated experiments, improve the firing rate, increase the power of explosion.That's right, a mine now contains 84 kilograms of nitrocellulose, and the energy generated by the explosion is equivalent to 352.8 million joules, which is simply the energy that can move an 84-kilogram object 420 kilometers away, or an 840-kilogram object 4.2 kilometers away.Not to mention that the sailboat at this time could not withstand the powerful mines, even if the missile boats of later generations were easily overturned, the Arab sailors who were maneuvering the rudder of the battleship were shocked and fled, they could not see the white smoke and flames of the battleship, nor could they hear the terrible whistling sound in the air, but the battleships on their own side were sunk one after another.They were all dumbfounded, my god, what the hell is this, so terrifying!
