Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing that they were about to be surrounded by two Japanese fleets, the situation was very unfavorable. Han Huanzhang's ship was driven by a combination of sail and steam power. If it wanted to escape, it was definitely not something that the Japanese sailboats could catch up with.  The problem is that there are only two such hybrid ships in his fleet. The others are all sailboats. The speed of the sailboats is a bit pitiful. Small boats are better. Those boats that are not big or small are not at all.  There is no way to run out of speed.

    As a well-known pirate leader, although Han Huanzhang was aware of the danger, he did not have the consciousness to escape immediately at this moment.  At this time, Han Huanzhang really cared about his international reputation, and he was a little jealous of the golden brand he had finally earned being smashed, so he couldn't decide whether to make a decisive decision to break out of the encirclement - that is, to run away. If there were only two ships,  If the hybrid ship runs away, the team will not be able to lead it in the future.

    Unlike Han Huanzhang, who only felt that the situation was critical and did not have a sense of life-or-death crisis, Pang Laoer next to him felt that the situation was already extremely dangerous.  Pang Lao'er is an old bandit. He had already suffered several injuries while fighting the Japanese on land. Now he still has a high swelling on his cheek. This is thanks to the powerful helmet that protects his face. Otherwise,  Life is lost.  Pang Laoer had been "hanging out" at sea for a long time, and he knew that the situation was very critical, so he urged:

    "Your Majesty, the Japanese are coming with great force, and the situation is extremely critical. If the fleet is entangled by them, they will not be able to escape. I think the current plan is to leave two large ships and four small boats to entangle the Japanese.  , the other ships should pull up as soon as possible, throw away the soldiers to save the chariot, this is no longer possible. Leave the Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, Your Majesty, please make up your mind as soon as possible, so that I can give orders. "

    ??????????????? Han Huanzhang remembered that more than 70 brothers had already become ghosts in a foreign country in order to cover his evacuation. If he lost his soldiers to save his car again, his team would really be disbanded, and then there would be no need to talk about a great cause!

    "No, you can't do this! I won't run away! If I get into trouble with him, I won't believe that the Japanese can do anything to our two steamships." Han Huanzhang's character was like this. Suddenly, his nerves  If something goes wrong, they will take measures that do not consider the gains and losses at all.  Han Huanzhang believed that this moment was related to the success or failure of his career as a pirate. As the saying goes, a hero's true nature can only be revealed when the sea changes. Han Huanzhang's heroism complex broke out at the right time, and he almost yelled through gritted teeth:

    "Bring me my shotgun." It's not easy to show off a shotgun when you're on land. It would be too shocking, and it was taboo in the Song Dynasty.  However, this thing is placed on the ship just for emergency use. With Ma Fen taking care of it, Han Huanzhang will naturally have a life-saving weapon here. When it comes to life and death, there is no need to wait any longer!

    He turned around and shouted again:

    "Monroe, Hepburn, you are also preparing to go into battle with me. I don't believe that the Japanese can still withstand our concentrated firepower. Pang Laoer, please tell me that I will fight with my brothers today."  The enemy has a fate of life and death. We will not retreat until we die. At worst, we will die, so I will accompany my brothers."

    Since Han Huanzhang said this, Pang Laoer had nothing to do. Seeing that we were outnumbered and the enemy was outnumbered, there was almost no chance of winning. However, Han Huanzhang did not escape, and he never said that he would escape on his own.  It is said that pirates have always adhered to the iron law of fighting when they can and running away when they can't, but this King Yelu is really a very evil sect, and he does some tricks that are incomprehensible.  Since my opponent is always good, it's okay if we don't risk our lives with him, so let's stick with him to the end.

    Since he was determined to die, Pang Laoer quickly raised flags, dispatched large and small ships, and fought separately.

    According to Han Huanzhang's idea, his two main warships have amazing combat power. They can be concentrated to fight against the Japanese main warships. Capture the thieves first and capture the king first. After killing the Japanese main warships, the small and medium-sized warships will also capsize.  I can't afford to make any big waves. In fact, Pang Laoer also thinks so.  As the saying goes, heroes think alike. In this way, Han Huanzhang felt that he was also very talented in commanding naval battles.

    Forget about gossiping, Han Huanzhang's troops were divided into two groups. The weaker group went to greet the Japanese side. Han Huanzhang led ten ships with two main warships as the main force to greet the Japanese.  Main fleet.

    Twenty minutes later, the two sides met hand-to-hand on the sea. Han Huanzhang counted the number of enemy ships. There were more than thirty large and small ships. However, Han Huanzhang was complacent at this time. In his eyes, these were just dishes and specialized ones.  Come to cooperate with the rivals, well, one against three, or to exaggerate, one against four, outnumbered and defeated, and finally won a big victory. This kind of plot is just a hit, and historians can also write a book about it.

    At the beginning, the Japanese did adopt a strong-against-strong style of play. They had a sufficient number of warships, so they adopted a siege style.

    There were five enemy ships besieging Han Huanzhang's ship.There are 3 large ships and three small boats. The displacement of the two large ships seems to be similar to that of Han Huanzhang's, which is also about 300 tons. There are also three small boats to cooperate. Han Huanzhang's ship is surrounded by enemies at this time.

    A burst of meteors passed by, and seeing the sail of a large Japanese ship on the opposite side being knocked down, Han Huanzhang was very proud for a moment, and thought to himself, now you have become a dead fish. Wait until I follow the same method and knock down another large ship.  I'll beat you to death and I'll take care of you later.

    Unexpectedly, when he was about to attack another large ship, the Japanese ship that was beaten to death raised its sail again, which made Han Huanzhang a little angry.  There are not many meteor bombs left on the ship. You must know that a lot of them have been consumed on land. There are not many meteor bombs left on the ship. The hit rate of the meteor bombs on the sail is still reliable, and the target is large.  Well!  The problem is, if I knock it down now and you fix it now, what's going on?

    He didn¡¯t know that the Japanese had learned everything from the Song Dynasty about sailing in this era. The good ones didn¡¯t learn from them, but the bad ones learned everything. The hard sails they used didn¡¯t use cloth but straw mats, and there were also some in the cabin  There are a large number of straw mats in reserve. The Japanese do not regard sails as low-value consumables. Low-value is low-value, but they are not consumables.  Their damage control, that is, the effort of repairing it, is really unimaginable. Unexpectedly, it only takes the effort of turning the direction, and their patch sails will rise.

    At this moment, Han Huanzhang felt like his head was getting big.

    If you can repair the sail, then I will hit them. Well, they have shields. Although the meteor bombs caused casualties on the deck of the Japanese ship at first, but after the shields and even large wooden boards came into use, the effects of the meteor bombs began to drastically increase.  reduce.

    Han Huanzhang did not accomplish anything here. It should be said that the results of the battle were worth mentioning. Among the five ships under siege, two of the three small boats were destroyed by meteor bombs, but this also further consumed the precious meteor bombs.

    Han Huanzhang still has ten double-barreled shotguns. If the Japanese dare to join a gang war, they will probably be tortured. Defense is easy to handle. If the Japanese want to join a gang, they probably won't be able to jump over. They will just do it.  Shotgunned to smithereens.  The problem is that the Japanese have no intention of starting a gang war now. It is estimated that the Japanese have realized the power of meteor bombs and understand that if they take the initiative to fight a gang war, they are seeking death.  However, the Japanese did not take the initiative to fight gang wars, and wanted Han Huanzhang to take the initiative to attack and fight gang wars. Pang Laoer felt that the risk was too great.  There are only about forty capable soldiers on the ship now. Considering that the Japanese also have bows and arrows, they are not familiar with the enemy ship after joining the gang. Fighting on the deck will inevitably cause casualties. No matter how high the exchange ratio is, this point  People can't afford it.

    In the end, Han Huanzhang made up his mind. If he joins a gang, he will join a gang. Joining a gang may be seeking death, but if he does not join a gang, he is waiting for death.  Because the entire war situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable, under the siege of the Japanese fleet, at least three of our own ships have been burned by the Japanese, and two more have fallen into the hands of the enemy after jumping gangs.  Although the other side also lost 11 ships, the Japanese had more ships. Now there were five ships against 26 ships along the way, one against five, and the situation took a turn for the worse.  It is conceivable that the situation on the other side should be worse.

    Yes, Han Huanzhang can still choose to leave his men and withdraw from the battlefield with another hybrid ship. If these two ships want to escape, it is impossible for the Japanese side to stop them. The sailboat can only hold up at a speed of six or seven knots.  , and his own boat can easily run more than nine knots.

    But Han Huanzhang was jealous and wanted to personally lead the troops to fight against gangs. So Pang Laosi led 20 men and six shotguns, boarded an enemy ship, and started fighting against gangs.

    The power of the shotgun is really not exaggerated. The advantage of close combat is fully exposed. With a blast of bang bang, it quickly takes advantage. After about a quarter of an hour, the gang war is over, and everyone on the Japanese ship is wiped out.  There are nine people left on Pang Laosi's side, including Pang Laosi.  Just because the shotgun can only fire two shots in a row, after two shots, you can only rely on cold weapons to fight. After all, there is the Zhuge Liannu, which is also a close combat weapon, but the enemy is risking his life to fight. After all, the deck is small, even if the book is wearing Mao's scales  A, as a result of close combat, casualties are inevitable.

    Generally speaking, the results of this gang-hopping operation are encouraging. A large Japanese ship was completely captured. However, Han Huanzhang's crew was insufficient, so Han Huanzhang had to order that the captured ship be burned to the ground.

    The gang-hopping battle was won, but the battlefield situation became more serious. Now, there are only two hybrid ships and one sailboat left on our side. The sailboat was besieged by six enemy ships.  , is already clumsy, and defeat is only a matter of time.  And the two hybrid ships were besieged by twenty enemy ships. If the attack continued like this, it would be really doomed.

    In the other direction, the Japanese side has achieved an overwhelming victory. The eight ships on Han Huanzhang's side were either burned or captured. It seems that more than twenty enemy ships will pounce on them, and even they will be beaten by hot blood.  Han Huanzhang, who had his mind blown, also understood at this time that this battle was impossible.beated.

    well!  Nothing can be done, it¡¯s time to withdraw.  But now I'm entangled, ambushed from all sides, and I don't know if I can escape now.  It is of course false to say that Han Huanzhang has no regrets at this moment.  .
