In order to release his superior force, the captain of the Napoli ordered his men to build another pedal to the Seahorse with wooden planks.
When the heavily armed Spanish soldiers began to scream and jump from the other end, the marines on the Seahorse hurriedly took over their positions. However, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the well-trained Spanish soldiers were swooping down from a high position, which did not allow the Marines to set up their positions.
Under the crazy attack, the Spaniards finally broke through the hastily deployed defense line of the Marines and took the opportunity to attack the Seahorse.
The sailors on the Seahorse were unable to shoot at the Spaniards with their muskets as they threw rat traps. The Gatmu and revolving cannons even lost their shooting angles. The sailors could only drop their firearms, attach bayonets to their rifles, and engage in an ancient and cruel battle with the Spaniards. Hand-to-hand combat.
To the surprise of the Spaniards, although these Ming soldiers were unwilling to engage in battle, they did not lack the courage and martial arts to fight for their lives.
Even if the Coast Guard officers are injured and fall to the ground, they must roll off the ship with the enemy in their arms and fight to the death together!
In a melee in such a small space, the only thing that counts is that the brave will win if they meet on a narrow road, and miracles will happen with great strength. The strong physique and fearless bravery of the Marine Corps officers and soldiers well make up for their lack of actual combat experience.
But the Spaniards are not vegetarians, they are the strongest army of this era! With his full body armor, superb skills and bravery without fear of death, he fought selflessly with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on the Seahorse.
The soldiers on both sides were completely furious. The deck was littered with dead and wounded, and blood flowed everywhere. If the sand had not been sprinkled in advance, they would not be able to stand still.
The number of casualties on both sides has increased sharply, but the Napoli, which has the numerical advantage, still has a steady stream of soldiers, using the pedals to go to the Seahorse for reinforcements.
Zhuo Li, the captain of the Haima, had been injured several times. After being rescued by his subordinates, he bandaged up and said to the instructor: "Assign people to go to the gunpowder magazine and light the fire once the entire army is wiped out. We can't let the red-haired ghost take over the Haima." go¡¡"
"Don't worry, it's already been arranged." The instructor put his cigarette into his mouth, pulled out his sword and said, "You have a rest first, I'll kill as much as I can"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the captain's mouth was so wide open that he didn't even notice that the cigarette fell into his arms.
"What's wrong?" The instructor looked back and saw the 3102 ship Seawolf hoisting its full sail and rushing towards the Haima from the side and behind, and was about to hit it.
"Be careful, we're about to collide with the ship!" the instructor hurriedly reminded his subordinates loudly, grabbing the deputy on the bulkhead, and at the same time, he and the health worker tightly grasped Zhuo Li who was slumped on the deck.
Before he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the Seawolf hit the Seahorse's firm butt.
The Seahorse was immediately hit and jumped forward. The soldiers of both armies were caught off guard and fell onto the deck in a panic. Some unlucky ones also fell off the ship
Even more unlucky were the Spanish soldiers crowded on both sides of the steps, preparing to rush from the Napoli to the Seahorse. The pedals on both sides all flipped over under the impact, and the Spanish soldiers on top also fell into the sea like dumplings.
However, the Haima remained unabated and continued to slide forward for dozens of meters. Apparently the giant arrow holding it fell off during the impact.
The Seawolf took advantage of the situation and took up the Seahorse's seat, becoming side by side and parallel to the Napoli. The two sides are less than one foot apart
"Fire!" Cai Yilin, who had a bandage on his head, pulled the gun rope hard, and the Hongxi cannon mounted on the poop roared, firing a red shell at the Napoli, which was very close at hand!
On the way to reinforce the Haima, Cai Yilin ordered the preparation of long-lost red fire bombs.
Although this kind of artillery shell is amazingly powerful, it takes too long to prepare and is prone to danger. Therefore, the General Staff Office has discouraged the use of this kind of artillery shell in principle.
Just because it has an irreplaceable role, each ship is still equipped with a blast furnace for heating cannonballs. Cai Yilin deliberately wanted to surprise the Spanish and ordered the preparation of six such artillery shells.
Before the impact, the gunners filled all six port guns with red fire bombs.
After the impact, they followed the captain and fired five more red-hot shells into the Napoli's riddled hull.
After firing a gun, the gunners quickly used coolant to cool down the inside and outside of the gun. The smell of vinegar immediately hit the sky on the Sea Wolf, causing the thirsty officers and soldiers to secrete a lot of saliva.
Because the main component of coolant is white vinegar, its boiling point is extremely low, which is much better than water for cooling. Of course, the cost is also high, but this is nothing to the wealthy Coast Guard.
¡°The Sea Wolf was busy preparing for another round, but the Napoli suddenly flashed an orange light and let out an earth-shattering roar.An oversized solid bullet breaks through the hull of an enemy ship, followed by a shotgun blast to harvest it. How can that be such a thrilling feeling?
¡°And the number of grapeshot fired by the short and heavy cannon is several times that of the long-barreled cannon. One shot can clear a large area and even break the mast.
In this way, the close range lethality of the battleship's salvo is increased several times in an instant. Of course, this comes at the expense of completely giving up long-range attacks.
But this is the sharpest way to fight the big with the small. Therefore, the destroyers and frigates of the assault fleet perform much better than the same types of ships in the upper hand fleet.
They killed all sides in the middle of the Spanish fleet. Using their superior strength and short and heavy artillery, a group could paralyze an enemy ship in about ten minutes.
Then quickly go find the next enemy ship. Either from the left or right, or from front to back, or even in a multi-ship siege, one after another Spanish galleons were turned into living coffins floating on the sea
