When it comes to French crossbow shooting, the pirate ships are at an absolute disadvantage. The French crossbow heavy cannons in their hands either come from the countries west of the South China Sea, or are scraps that were scattered by the Ming Dynasty without comment, and were repaired before being used again. This way How can the magic weapon fight against the inspection fleet?
What's more, in terms of ship comparison, they are at a huge disadvantage. Their numbers are far insufficient, and their ships are also much smaller. In the sea area where cross-fire is available, there is a huge gap of 4 to 18 with the French crossbow heavy artillery of the inspection fleet.
Such an obvious gap caused Zhang Zheng's four ships to be beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads. After more than half an hour of shooting, the decks of all four ships were blown apart, and the masts of two of them were blown apart. After being interrupted, another ship was seriously injured. Two large holes were made at the waterline. Waves poured into the ship one after another. The ship was about to sink.
The pirates couldn¡¯t stand it any longer and kept coming to ask Zhang Zheng: ¡°Sir, when will the Grand Alliance Leader arrive?¡±
Zhang Zheng was unable to answer this question. Within the scope of the demonic hell sea, not only were the celestial phenomena unpredictable, but it was also difficult to send out flying talismans. This is the reason why Wutong Taoist chose to set up an ambush in this area - it is difficult for the Taoist sect to receive the message and arrive in time for reinforcements.
Zhang Zheng just tried twice to contact Taoist Wutong. As expected, he has not received any reply since the flying talisman was sent out.
Seeing that his men suffered heavy casualties, and if he continued like this, the whole army might be buried here. Zhang Zheng had no other choice but to order to move closer to the inspection fleet. Instead of being ravaged to death by French crossbows and heavy artillery, it was better to rely on Go up there and fight to the death, at least you can see what the enemy looks like!
To this end, he gathered more than thirty experts who were good at close combat on his ship and gathered them on the side of the ship. In addition to his own almost perfect golden elixir, there is also the golden elixir of Gangshou, the boat master, the chief chores officer, and the subordinate leader are also Huang Guan monks. With such equipment, the proportion of monks is quite high.
His intention was quickly discovered by his accomplices on the left and right sides. Everyone followed suit and moved towards the inspection fleet warship on the opposite side.
In such a desperate situation, the pirates actually fought bloody hard.
Zhang Zheng's ship quickly docked with the nearest ship of 500 yuan. The two sides were five or six feet away. Amidst the lightning and thunder, Zhang Zheng saw the Tiao Gang on the other side's ship, which was fully equipped with military armor and ready to go. Soldiers, their pitch-black military armor exuded a cold and dark luster under the flash of lightning that was as bright as day.
Such armaments made Zhang Zheng feel his scalp numb. For a moment, he remembered the days when the capital changed. He lamented in his heart that the Taoist sect's armaments were really strong.
Behind the rows of soldiers gathered opposite, there were three monks from Chaotian Palace. These three people were very familiar with Zhang Zheng. They used to nod and greet each other in the Shangsan Palace, but they didn¡¯t expect that they would be fighting for their lives there today.
Having fought so far, there is no room for retreating. Zhang Zheng gritted his teeth to boost the morale of his men, and then waited for the next lightning to arrive.
Finally, five or six more lightning flashes across the sky, and then thunder rolls in. Taking advantage of the short "daylight", Zhang Zheng shouted loudly, jumped out of the air first, and rushed towards the enemy ship.
The other person was in the air, taking out a nine-pronged bright silver fork that he used freely from his storage weapon, and stabbed the enemy on the side of the opposite ship.
On the opposite side, a shield was erected, and the formation was strict. It was clear at a glance that they were well-trained.
Nine bright silver prongs pierced a shield, and the entire shield wall lit up at the same time. The ten shields eliminated most of the force on Zhang Zheng's silver prong, and each of them had the remaining power. Withstood the blow.
From the gaps in the shield wall, ten waist knives suddenly appeared, slashing at Zhang Zheng from different angles.
In his busy schedule, Zhang Zheng used his protective weapon to throw the conch towards the sea. The conch blocked all the slashing knives during its rotation. Zhang Zheng failed to achieve success with his attack and jumped back to his own ship.
The boarding battle was about to break out, but Li Dayin could no longer command the fleet, and he was very anxious. The fleet can command its advance and retreat by raising flags and other methods, but it cannot be accurate to every ship. No one in the young inspection fleet had ever been to the Sea of ??Demonic Hell, and no one knew that the flying talisman would lose its effectiveness here, which made Li Dayin very frightened.
What worried Li Dayin was the advance fleet. He had been unable to contact Wang Shouyu for nearly two hours, and he didn't know what the situation was like on Wang Shouyu's side. He regretted that he shouldn't have divided his troops to do an outflanking and interception move, in case Wang Shouyu If they rush recklessly into the Demonic Hell Sea, the entire fifteen ships of the advance fleet will be in danger of being annihilated.
Li Dayin stared at the current battlefield uneasily, praying to end this pursuit quickly and bring the entire fleet back safely.
In the long-range shooting of warships, the inspection fleet has the advantage in terms of range and sustainability. Once the distance is closed, the inspection fleet has the advantage., in terms of the accuracy and launch speed of the French crossbow, the pirate ship has the upper hand. In fact, after closing the distance, the inspection fleet was not afraid either, because they had fire dragons on board, and their jump helper armor equipment was even more top-notch. But at this moment, in the fierce wind and heavy rain, the fire dragon has no place to use, and can only rely on the torrent sprayed by the water dragon cannon to add chaos to the opponent's ship.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, and the battle is still fierce. Zhang Zheng's resistance is very tenacious, but his disadvantage is becoming more and more obvious, and everyone is about to die here.
Just when he was about to achieve full success, the sailor tied to the watchtower at the top of the mast suddenly pulled the cable wildly, pointed to the northwest, and shouted loudly. The shouts were intermittent and faint, beaten by the strong wind and rain, and only a few words came down.
"Shipbe carefulreport"
Li Dayin's heart tightened, and he climbed up the mast to the observation tower. Looking northwest, he saw vague shadows that seemed to be many masts. At this time, a bolt of lightning streaked down from the endless heights in the sky, illuminating the entire sea area. Li Dayin suddenly stared blankly ahead, his hair standing on end and his whole body cold.
The endless ships that could not be seen formed a tight circle, surrounding the inspection fleet from left to right. The only retreat route behind the inspection fleet was the Demonic Hell Sea.
Various strange and bizarre flags are hung on the masts of these seagoing ships, with large crooked characters written on the bows, and some are even daubed with horrific-looking patterns.
They were all pirate ships, countless at a glance. They were two miles away at the moment, rising and falling in the big waves, rushing towards the inspection fleet.
Is this a trap?
When did they come to the north?
Why is there no news from Zhoushan?
what to do?
Is the inspection fleet going to be buried here today?
How to explain to Zhiran?
Can I still go back?
In an instant, Li Dayin had various thoughts, and his calves began to tremble.
