Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Because the battlefield was very chaotic, and at the same time, Wang Renzeng received the order, and his cronies rushed forward without fear of death. These people really stopped Zhang Bangchang and the others, or directly rammed their ships with Zhang Bangchang's warship.
Although Zhang Bangchang and others wanted to destroy Wang Renzeng's flagship.
However, this does not mean that they do not care about the cost.
After all, the current situation of the Amami Islanders is very critical, and they are still surrounded by enemies. If Zhang Bangchang and the others pursue Wang Renzeng's flagship, what will the other brothers do?
¡°And now Zhang Bangchang and the others are also in trouble.
That was Wang Renzeng¡¯s cronies, who dared not fear death and started ramming them with warships.
Although European-style warships are strong, powerful, and have powerful artillery, they have no defense against direct collisions with warships.
Therefore, when watching Wang Renzeng's flagship go away little by little, Zhang Bangchang wisely chose to stop the pursuit. At the same time, a signal was sent to tell other companions to give up the pursuit and start attacking the enemy warships surrounding the companions.
What I have to say is that Zhang Bangchang still sees the current situation clearly.
"If he just ignores it, he will probably send the tilted balance to Wang Renzeng's side again.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
When Zhang Bangchang's warship passed two enemy fighting ships, he opened fire again.
Three warships passed by each other, and the two unlucky warships were completely bombarded into sieves, and one side of the entire ship was completely rotten.
"Yes! That's it, hold on, we can't stop now, hide from the enemy ships rushing over. We just have to keep weaving in between them, and then use artillery to bombard these bastards."
Although Wang Renzeng was abandoned, Zhang Bangchang vented his anger on other enemies.
Zhang Bangchang still felt very uncomfortable about not catching Wang Renzeng and letting him slip away under his nose.
However, he knew very well what he was going to do now.
Rather than chasing down Wang Renzeng, the most important thing for him now is to rescue his companions who are already in crisis.
After all, compared to Wang Renzeng, his companions are much more important, right?
However, although Zhang Bangchang fully utilized the advantages of European warships. And it caused great damage to the enemy, but because he was caught in the center of the naval battle, he also encountered some troubles.
The warships under his command are very strong, but the enemy's warships are too numerous.
As the saying goes, if there are too many ants, an elephant will be afraid, let alone Zhang Bangchang.
Zhang Bangchang and Liu Dasc, who were directing the battle at the bow of the ship, staggered, and the entire ship shook violently. The hull tilted to the left, and some of the sailors around were unsteady, and even fell heavily to the deck due to the inertia.
What is even more pitiful are the sailors who are still on the pole. Some of them were even thrown into the sea.
These people who fell into the sea can't be taken care of for the time being.
It¡¯s not that Zhang Bangchang doesn¡¯t want to save, but that in the current situation, there is simply no way to save people.
After stabilizing his figure, Zhang Bangchang looked back.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
Then he took out the ghost-headed sword from his waist and roared: "Brothers, you're being copied!"
Zhang Bangchang could see clearly that his warship was rammed by the enemy's warship, and the collision angle of the enemy's bow had been embedded in his own hull.
Under such circumstances, he has no extra choice, and the same is true for the enemy.
It is certain that the two sides will break out in hand-to-hand combat, but it just depends on who can stand in the end.
However, the current situation is obviously unfavorable to everyone on Amami Island.
After all, their warships and numbers are too few.
On Wang Renze's side, there were more people on board, giving him a great advantage.
But even so, Zhang Bangchang and the others could not back down.
Because behind them on Amami Island are their wives, children, and children.
Once they are defeated here, their relatives on the island will fall into hell.
Especially when they already knew that the guy who led the attack was Wang Renze, the culprit responsible for the Naha massacre, Zhang Bangchang and the others had to fight to the end.
Zhang Bangchang¡¯s own warship and four other warships all encounteredSuch a situation.
They were trapped at sea by the enemy's reckless use of ramming tactics.
However, the remaining fifteen warships continued to implement the tactics given by Zhang Bangchang and continued to effectively kill the enemy.
Although Wang Renzeng still had the advantage, Zhang Bangchang and others who piloted European warships caused heavy losses to Wang Renze.
¡°Only large-scale building ships and fighting ships have lost about half of their numbers.
The remaining small clippers are unlikely to have any effect on these European warships.
So, what Wang Renze can only pray for is that his men can defeat these people with hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, Wang Renze's flagship had arrived at the periphery, and more than a dozen large-scale ships had gathered around to protect it. Finally he felt that he was safe, so he ordered the flagship to stop, then walked to the bow and looked over.
Ha ha!
As expected, the enemy did not catch up. It seemed that they were stopped.
When Wang Renze saw that in the chaotic naval battle battlefield, several enemy warships had been rammed by his own men, an arrogant smile suddenly broke out on his face.
Fight with me, you haven¡¯t done enough yet!
"Let people block the gap on the west side. There are too few ships there to allow the enemy to break out from here. These guys almost made a comeback, which really shocked me. But now that they have Once you¡¯re trapped, it¡¯s not easy to escape.¡±
After Wang Renzeng escaped from the tiger's mouth, his depressed mood finally turned around.
However, even though he said this, his heart was still beating fast.
Because after scanning the battlefield, he found that although several enemy warships were trapped, there were still more than a dozen warships shuttled across the battlefield, constantly using the artillery on both sides of them to give their own side a lot of power. Big damage.
In this regard, Wang Renze could not think of a solution for a while.
But he knew very well that if he didn't find a way to deal with these warships, he would probably fail.
Damn it, why do these guys have so many artillery shells? Could it be that they can¡¯t use them all?
Of course, the cannonballs are not inexhaustible, and Zhang Bangchang and the others are not like Zhao Hongyu, who can constantly buy cannonballs from the virtual world for use.
However, after Zhang Bangchang and others obtained this kind of warship, they would not use it for ocean navigation at all. So they don't have to prepare so many supplies at all, so they have a lot of extra space.
And these extra spaces must be used so as not to be wasted, and in the end, the opponent will waste a lot of cannonballs.
The number of these shells is enough to support twenty-four artillery guns firing twenty-five rounds each.
You know, twenty-five shells per gun, this is not a small number.
This is a full twelve rounds more than the spare shells for each artillery prepared by the European warships.
From the beginning of the war to the present, Zhang Bangchang's warships have fired only six artillery shells on average per ship.
Therefore, the number of artillery shells is still sufficient.
??At least it can be supported for a long time.
In the end, Wang Renzeng asked the sixteen tower ships that were protecting him to join the battle instead of following him uselessly.
The battle has reached this point, anyone who is not a fool can see it.
??Everyone must try their best at this time.
"To have a backup plan at this time is absolutely stupid behavior, and it is something that only an idiot would do.
If you still hold back, then once the enemy really gains the upper hand, what's the use of having backup forces on hand. Therefore, it is better to put all the ships into battle at this time and use all your strength to defeat the enemy.
Of course, your own flagship does not need to join the battle.
If the situation on the battlefield is not favorable at all, then he can get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible, right?
Wang Renzeng, this guy, has thought about both the good and the bad.
"However, he just didn't think that maybe he had done too many bad things and God was going to destroy him.
This time, with his reckless attack, there were many things that surprised him.
"A fleet appeared in the northwest, numbering about twenty ships!!!"
Yes, an unexpected situation occurred again, which Wang Renzeng never expected.
JustWhen the battle situation became more and more intense, another fleet appeared on the sea northwest of Amami Island at this time.
The number of ships in this fleet ranges from about twenty to thirty.
The sailor on the observation deck has no telescope (telescope), so he cannot get too detailed data. But with his good eyesight, he still made a rough estimate.
What!
There is a fleet in the northwest!
Wang Renzeng frowned immediately after hearing the report from his subordinates.
To be honest, under such circumstances, what he is most worried about is that some accidents will happen.
But whatever he was afraid of came, and the sudden appearance of this fleet made Wang Renzeng feel a strong sense of uneasiness.
The place where they fought with Li Xiang's fleet was just at the southern end of Amami Island.
And these fleets that suddenly appeared appeared in the exact location of Amami Island.
Therefore, Wang Ren had reason to worry that this fleet that suddenly appeared was probably from Amami Island Li Xiang.
Maybe, it's the other party's reserve team.
In fact, it is not unreasonable for Wang Renzeng to think so.
Who told this sudden fleet to come from the direction of Amami Island?
So, it¡¯s no wonder Wang Renzeng thought so.
At that moment, he picked up the telescope in his hand and put it in front of his intact eye. After looking at it, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.
My mother!
What kind of fleet is this? How can there be such a huge ship?
The warships of the Song Empire were very huge, a little more than twice the size of the largest Spanish galleons at the same time. It can be said to be the largest warship of this era.
And the Spanish galleons only had two decks, but the conventional warships of the Song Empire now had three decks.
Otherwise, there would be no point in placing so many artillery pieces under his command.
Wang Renzeng saw that these incoming warships had long ramming angles, and he could see the densely opened gun ports on both sides of the hull, which made people's hair stand on end.
However, Wang Renzeng discovered that the flags flying on these ships were not Li Xiang's.
It was a red flag that he had never seen before, and there were five patterns on the flag: one large, four small, and five.
Where the hell did this boat come from?
And what does this flag represent?
At that time, Wang Renzeng was stunned.
While he was frightened by these ships, he was also confused.
So is this fleet an enemy?
If they were not enemies, why would they sail towards us?
But if they are enemies, then who are these people?
In Wang Renzeng¡¯s mind, many questions suddenly emerged.
But there is not much time left for Wang Renzeng now, and this is not a good time to explore this issue.
It can be seen from the telescope that the opponent's ship is sailing very fast, at least three times as fast as his own Spanish galleon.
He really doesn¡¯t know why the opponent¡¯s warship can sail so fast. This is completely beyond his cognitive scope and common sense.
"Boss, what should we do now. Are these fleets that suddenly appeared enemies?"
One of the men around Wang Renzeng had the courage to ask.
They all found that their eldest brother's face was not very good-looking, so many people did not dare to ask for fear of causing some unwarranted disaster.
But, after all, there are still bold people.
¡° Moreover, because the fleet that suddenly appeared was too fast, it didn¡¯t take long to get close. So they could see it clearly with the naked eye, so they couldn't help but ask.
And they also discovered that the ships in these fleets that suddenly appeared were very unusual.
Not only is the ship huge, but it also has dense artillery muzzles.
Since they had seen the fleet commanded by Zhang Bangchang before, the bombardment brought to them was terrifying. So when they discovered that the warships in this sudden fleet had more artillery than those warships, they immediately became panicked.
Wang Renzeng also felt a bitter taste in his mouth, which made him very uncomfortable.
?He even quickly imagined what it would be like when these densely packed artillery fires a salvo.
Mom¡¯s!
That is simply unimaginable.
No ship can compete with such a warship, it is simply courting death.
I hope these ships are not enemies.
In the end, Wang Renzeng could only pray in his heart.
It is a pity that when the fleets that suddenly appeared quickly sailed to the outside of the battlefield, they rushed into the battle group and started shelling without stopping.
Wang Renzeng finally issued an order "Turn around, sail at full speed, let's run quickly!" (To be continued.
