Volume 1 Chapter 69 Confrontation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ping Hailong has been able to control this sea area for decades, so he is naturally unique. He is not only fierce, but also very cautious and cunning. Just like now, although he has three sixty-meter-long sail warships,  He himself was not on a huge sailing warship;

    Instead, he was now hiding on one of the very ordinary ships. Seeing an abnormal situation in front of him, he quietly issued a few commands and at the same time asked the ship he was riding to move slowly towards the periphery, raising his hand at the same time.  Holding a monocular telescope with an uneven surface, he squinted one eye to observe the situation.

    Through the telescope, he discovered that the five Dutch warships were indeed parked there motionless as he expected, but to his surprise, each warship was pitch black, even if they were far apart.  It can be seen that the sails of every battleship have been burned to the ground.  Two of the ships were still emitting black smoke, and people could be seen struggling to put out the fire.

    The battleship has no sails and cannot move. This was originally a very happy thing, but now he is not happy.  Because next to the five warships, a huge and strange warship appeared.  This was a huge ship that was beyond his imagination and so big that it frightened him.

    Even though the mottled wooden boards on this battleship look very frosty, this cannot conceal her overwhelming momentum and sense of oppression.

    But after careful observation, he felt confused because the battleship had neither mast nor any sail.

    "Is this giant ship a new warship launched by the Dutch? But how can she sail?" Suddenly, Ping Hailong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely discovered that the sailors on the huge warship were all yellow-skinned.  .

    Moving the telescope, he looked towards the beach.  Slowly, Ping Hailong saw the situation in front of him clearly, but what he saw made him take a breath of air.

    In some places on the beach, there was still thick smoke, and the bodies of Dutchmen in uniforms were strewn all over the beach, and there were still a lot of weapons left on the ground.  In the woods behind the beach, he vaguely saw countless people lying in wait.  These people were not the Dutch with uniform clothes as he thought, but villagers from Dafeng Village wearing gray-brown homespun clothes.

    Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat!  Because he found that the huge strange ship without sails was slowly moving

    Wu Yiping held up his telescope and looked at the hundreds of dilapidated ships of various sizes approaching in the distance. He couldn't help but clenched his fists. He had the urge to smash all the ships.

    Especially when he looked at the three sailing warships, he wanted to rush forward immediately, capture all three sailing warships, capture Pinghailong, disembowel him, and pay homage to the souls of those who had just died.  It was this Pinghailong that attracted the Dutch devils, causing hundreds of casualties in the escort team.

    But Wu Yiping knew that if he wanted to catch someone, he only had one chance. As long as he found Ping Hailong's flagship and rushed straight towards him, with the ability of the Dafeng, he would definitely be able to catch him.  But if you can't find the right target at the first time, with so many ships, your opponent will definitely be able to escape.

    Now Wu Yiping has this headache. Through observation through the telescope, he found that Ping Hailong's three sail warships were almost identical, without the flagship mark, and none of the personnel on them looked like Ping Hailong.

    "In this case, I can only alert the enemy." Wu Yiping put away the telescope and gave the order in an emotionless voice.

    "Full speed ahead, heading 243!"

    "Yes! Full speed ahead, heading 243!"

    The Dafeng moved, slowly accelerated, drew an arc, and rushed towards the right side of the Pinghai Dragon Fleet.  The speed became faster and faster, reaching the maximum speed in less than five minutes.

    Wu Yiping has already been furious. Since he can¡¯t find the rightful owner, he will take action on these minions first

    "Left full rudder!" When the battleship had just reached the enemy's right side, Wu Yiping gave the order to turn left.  Under the overcontrol of the helmsman, the battleship tilted on one side and drew a curved arc. The bow of the ship rushed towards the stunned Ping Hailong fleet.

    In order to attack the five Dutch warships, Ping Hailong arranged forty assault ships with long and narrow bodies, capable of carrying thirty people, at the front.  The only purpose of this kind of boat is to use it for short-distance sprinting when the wind and waves are light. It is very similar to the dragon boat of later generations, which emphasizes the slender hull.

    But in terms of its size, it is like a matchstick. Now that it was collided by the huge Dafeng, the neat rowers were at a loss and suddenly became a mess. Some people paddled desperately, and some people rowed hard.  Then he wanted to stand up and dive away.

    With a "click", the Dafeng had cut through the first boat in the middle. The boat was broken into two sections under the huge impact.The whole boat was completely thrown away and fell into the sea like a goddess scattering flowers.  The Dafeng brought up huge waves and tossed the islands falling out of the water up and down like rag dolls.

    The Dafeng continued to push towards the next boat without any pause.  With the first boat in line, the people in the smaller boats behind them had already chosen to dive in unison before the Dafeng hit them.  For a time, the sound of "plop, plop" continued on the sea, and hundreds of people jumped into the water one after another and swam hard to both sides.

    Only the boats farther away had time to paddle neatly and fled like a lost dog.  The Dafeng penetrated the entire assault fleet from right to left.

    "Full right rudder! Heading 155"

    Under Wu Yiping¡¯s order, the steel battleship made another sharp turn.  The ferocious bow of the ship cut through the wreckage of the assault ship, rolled up rolling waves, and headed towards the three large sail warships in the middle

    Except for the forty assault ships in front of the pirate fleet, the other ships are all large ships capable of offshore navigation with a tonnage of about 80 to 500. However, this large ship is only for the assault ships, and for the Dafeng, it is just a match.  The difference between sticks and chopsticks.

    "These so-called big ships looked at the menacing Dafeng and tried to avoid it one after another. Those with sails had their sails raised quickly, and those without sails were rowing desperately.  For a moment, a blank sea surface appeared in front of the Dafeng.

    Even so, there were still several slow-moving ships passed by the Dafeng. These ships of several hundred tons seemed to have suddenly encountered a Category 12 storm. Their small hulls were swept by the waves raised by the Dafeng.  It was thrown to a height of several meters, and then hit the sea surface heavily with the falling sea water.

    Such huge shaking caused the hulls of these ships to creak and crack, and some thin ship plates snapped, and the unprepared sailors above were thrown into the sea one after another.

    Faced with Wu Yiping¡¯s aggressive action to alert the enemy, the other party immediately came up with countermeasures. The only three sail warships had already started to raise their sails and headed in three different directions.  Hundreds of other ships of various sizes swarmed towards the beach.

    "Stop!"

    About five hundred meters away from the original position of the three sail warships, Wu Yiping gave the order to stop the ships. The valves of the steam turbines were quickly closed and the huge propellers stopped rotating.  The battleship relied on its own inertia to continue moving forward for a certain distance and then stopped.

    The Dafeng has just stopped here, and Ping Hailong's fleet has also stopped uniformly.

    With a "pop" sound, Wu Yiping hit the podium hard. He felt as if he had eaten flies while eating.

    Although it crashed dozens of boats and forced countless people to dive into the water, except for a few guys who were strangled by propellers, everyone else was still floating on the water and did not cause too many casualties.  And the other party has found a way to deal with him in a short period of time.

    The current scene is like a huge Tibetan Mastiff confronting hundreds of extremely cunning rats. All the rats combined are no match for the Tibetan Mastiff, but the rats know how to plot. If the Tibetan Mastiff dares to rush out and bite the rats, the rats will  He desperately rushed into the Tibetan Mastiff's nest and ate his cubs
