Impact
Chapter 570:Impact
The Amsterdam was originally headed south to the left.But the Liaodong is flexible as a snake, going south around a big circle and turning north.It doesn’t take the wind, it doesn’t matter in that direction.When the Cape of Good Hope explodes and fires under the joint efforts of the enemy and us, the "A" ship has to go to the right and north, it must use its side against the enemy to exert its own firepower.
Such repeated changes made the remaining six ships of the Roy fleet extremely passive.The sails are constantly changing so that they can use the wind as much as possible.The headwinds actually take the slash, which makes Sir Thomas Roy not have many paths to choose from.
At this time, the "Liaodong" rudder with a large number of immature technology failed, it was deverted to the left at a high speed of 15 knots, and the waves of the ship were like jade and stirring.
Six wind sailing ships only do not understand what happened to this "white devil"?But as long as the two sides pass in parallel and the distance is close, then after all, it is an opportunity to fire, and it must not be missed.So whether it is the Liaodong or the Amsterdam, or some other wind sailing ship, this moment is all rivetingly firing shells.
The distance between the two sides is within 100 meters, just like the hammer of the egg, have the ability to break the other side's defense.The first to build was the Lowlands in the Roy fleet.The 600-ton armed merchant ship was filled with more than a dozen guns on the right, and a fierce salvo was applied to the Liaodong before passing its own gun port.
More than a dozen shells hit a straight spot at close range, broke through the side of the Liaodong, opened two or three holes.Seeing the “white devil” being hit, all the gunners and crew of the entire Roy fleet were thrilled.They shouted and hugged each other.Although it is only a few inconspicuous holes, it shows that it is not without the power of counterattack.
It shows that this "devil" warship is not invincible!
So on the "Reputation" at the back of the "Lowland", all the gunners on the starboard side rubbed their hands, ready to wait for a show, and slammed the damned "white devil" hard.Prestige was larger than the Lowlands, with a displacement of seven hundred tons, and was even equipped with a heavy gun of thirty-two pounds, and its firepower was also three-and-two-star in the fleet.
But when the "Liaodong" stuck in the rudder is still a silly fool's mind to continue to attack forward, its six main guns on the deck of the ship are turning the turret at the same time.The original ninety-degree port on the side of the port will move to the left front of the position.
In the telescope, the captain of the "prestige" clearly saw this incredible change.He looked at the black hole musks and murmured, “Damn, the musk of this ship can turn?”
Bombing . . . . a dazzling mussel fire broke out on the sea.
The main gun of the Liaodong opened fire successively, abandoning its own Low Land and targeting the "prestige" number that threatened itself the most.The six main guns opened fire at the oblique angle, and the shells flew 150 meters away, and a brain was poured into the sideboard cabin of the Prestige.
Sixth and fourth, the main gun of the Liaodong, once again exerts its great power and extremely penetrating characteristics, and shatters the heavy oak hull of the "Reputation" heavy.In contrast, the "Lowland" hit the cannonball is like opening several ventilation windows for Liaodong.And each hole made out of the Liaodong is like a floor-to-ceiling window.
The back of this "landing window" is extremely sad, and it is full of broken wood, broken ribs, and soft limbs.Several guns were also bombed, and several tons of cannons tilted and rolled over in the hull.Even if there are survivors, they also scream for death under the pressure of heavy objects.
By the time the Liaodong really sailed from the front of the "reputation", the other side could fire half of the artillery.Even the other half that can fire often appear that the position is wrong, and the shells that hit the Liaodong hull are only one or two rounds.The gunners of the Roy fleet understood what a rotating turret was, and its shooting world was 360 degrees without dead ends.
However, the Liaodong is not without loss, and its beautiful white boat has several black holes.Even these holes were still inspiring the gunners of the Roy fleet to continue their efforts, although their ships were at an absolute disadvantage, they would have to spit on the enemy even if they were to die.
Large-calibre heavy artillery loading slowly, "Liaodong" will continue to move forward.As it passed in front of the No. 4 and 3 ships of the Roy Fleet, it could only be attacked with a few self-defense guns on board, and the main gun stopped speaking.The two enemy ships can finally be assured that they will open fire on the Liaodong, and they have fired 30 or 40 shells in one go.
At this time, the Liaodong, which was stuck in the rudder, was still deflecting, and the distance from the Roy fleet was even pulled within tens of meters.The gunners on the two enemy ships were probably empiricist, and half of the shells were shot and chainballs dedicated to cleaning the decks and masts of the enemy ships.
The Liaodong does indeed have a mast, which is specially prepared for the lookout.The "Revolutionary Army" technology is no longer advanced, and this year can not make a radar.Long-distance detection depends on the eyes of the watchman.However, they were already close to each other, and the lookout on the mast naturally retreated.Information is obtained by the observers in the bridge.
But the gunners of the Roy fleet refused to let go of the mast, and their chains splended out and snorted to the Liaodong, but within a distance of tens of meters, they easily cut the wooden mast.
In addition, there are things such as the shotgun grapes for the "Liaodong" washing deck, which bombarded thousands of them.These things are specifically aimed at the crew exposed to deck, killing and injuring unprotected targets.
There are a large number of people on the sailboat to control the sail, and killing these crews can effectively reduce the enemy's maneuvering ability.Destroying masts and killing ship deck crews is the secret to winning naval battles.But when the gunners of the Roy fleet were fired, they found that there seemed to be no one on the deck of the ship opposite, and the turrets and bridge were completely closed.
Not only is it completely closed, but it also focuses on strengthening protection.Several key positions of the Liaodong number are reinforced with hardened steel plates to enhance the defense, and the shells will make a clear sound - when!
By the time the second ship of the Roy fleet entered the battle position, this scene was more obvious.The captain of the ship observed for half a day and finally found that the bridge raised in the middle of the Liaodong should be its command center.He ordered all the gunners on board to aim at the tall shipbuilding, thinking of killing the captain who commanded the White Devil.
As long as it can knock off the head of this "devil", its limbs are strong and free, right?
The bombardment of the fire began between the two ships.At this moment, the distance between the two sides has been closer to 30 meters, and the naked eye can see the face of the enemy.The artillery of the No. 2 ship was all bombarded the bridge of the Liaodong, and the bombardment was bombed for half a day.Every time you bombard, you can hear the sound of crisp metal impact in the gun.
With the enemy shelling of the "Liaodong" in the bridge, Zhu Chengqi watched the plank on the inner wall of the bridge crumbling.The external armor plate is deformed in the shelling, and although the shells are not fired, the kinetic energy is transmitted, but some decorative items inside are beaten.The commander of the navy can only hide under a stool and pout his ass.
“My ass is hurting!”
A broken wooden thorn was pierced on Zhu Chengqi's ass, and it was bloody and very fierce.
As a return, the six main guns of the Liaodong were loaded and fired at the second ship of the Roy fleet.At a distance of 30 meters, the other side not only cracked the bridge of the Liaodong, but also punched its hull a lot of holes.In retaliation, all six large-caliber projectiles were bombarded into the hull of the second ship.
Because the distance is so close, some projectiles are even shot from the enemy's gun window.The large cannonballs came in, and immediately smashed the collapse of the several tons of artillery, and the gunners on both sides of the gun suffered a second injury in the sputtering debris.Gunpowder piled up on the gungear is the most deadly, and they can easily be ignited and detonated, causing even more terrible damage.
Compared with the "Revolutionary Army", which has already used ignition, European artillery is still widely used in ignition rods, and even fire ropes.These open fires fly everywhere when they are shelled, which will bring fatal damage.
After this pair of shelling each other, the port side of the "Liaodong" was almost hit in the dark, looking bleak and more holes.After all, it is more than one enemy, and it is natural to bear the damage too close to the opponent.The second ship opposite it was even more miserable, and the internal structure of the shelling suffered serious damage, although the crew tried to save it, but it still exploded from time to time.
At this time, the "Liaodong" finally ushered in its final opponent.Sir Roy's Amsterdam performed a miracle under the priest's prayer, and the whole ship was turned by means of the Holy Spirit, and dozens of heavy guns on one side were all aimed at the Liaodong.Among them, there are 48 pounds of powerful guns, which can be fired at one time, and even the Liaodong can not withstand.
The "Liaodong" pen rushed up, it was simply a perfect hit on the muzzle of the "A" ship.Sir Roy even guessed the truth behind it.The Liaodong has been arcing on the sea, and he immediately concluded: "The rudder of the ship is stuck, it cannot get rid of."This is truly a miracle that God has given us.In the name of the Father, send this pagan ship to hell.”
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and the gunners of the Amsterdam are getting more and more excited.They were ready and waiting to hit their opponents hard.Sir Roy’s heart was full of excitement, excitement, excitement.The smile on his face reached feverishness, and the twinkling of victory in both eyes—and then he suddenly froze.
"This damn broken ship, it's not going to really hit it."Sir Roy lingered for half a second.This year, the year is fiercely afraid, the fear is not dead, the fear of life is stupid.Sir is in danger of death, but now the opposite is foolish.He could not bear the order to fire the gun, and turned to tear his heart and cried, "Turn, avoid the impact!"
On the Liaodong, Zhu Chengxuan, who was injured in the ass, shouted with a pillar in the bridge: "Notice the whole ship, pay attention to the impact, pay attention to the impact!"
Everyone in the bridge was panicked to find fixed objects and hugged them, even in the turret and in the turbine cabin.Everyone knows that they are in big trouble, their own rudder machine fails, the boiler can not stop, can only hit the enemy ship at full speed.
On the Amsterdam, the gunner’s door is full of hopes to blow this “devil ship”.But now everyone has changed a lot.Watching the ship on the opposite side of the "fearless" crash, the people who were ready to fire and fire were slowly retreating in panic, trying to avoid this incredible disaster!
It is not easy for the sailed warships to turn.Ten seconds later, the "Liaodong" with 15 knots of high speed, with their own hard hit angle, cut into the "Amsterdam" in the middle.This blow was like a sharp blade into the enemy's heart, fierce and direct.
Under the strong resistance of the enemy, the "Liaodong" is in progress!
