Chapter 462 Seeking a Way to Live
This can be said to be a maritime position war, and the soldiers of the Liu family army were inspired and cheered.
Zheng Zhilong's expression changed continuously. He really couldn't afford to lose. Now he is like a gambler. In fact, he is actually a gambler.
Taking advantage of the death of his adoptive father Li Dan, he accepted Li Dan's inheritance. More than a month later, Yan Siqi, who had become sworn brothers, suddenly exploded. Only Zheng Zhilong knew the exact details of how to die suddenly.
He won countless bets and became crazy, but he didn't want to retreat. After he retreated, people's hearts dispersed.
He is different from the Spanish and the Dutch. He has his own title and system, while he is a complete law of the jungle.
As the pirate king, he can die, never lose confidence, and he will not be able to escape in shame.
"Old Eighth, the time to order those people to submit their own actions is here!"
If it were someone else, he might have retreated when facing this situation, but Zheng Zhilong immediately thought of a way to deal with it. He asked the little guys to attack on the suicide ship.
Suicide ships are an effective method, provided that the Liu family fleet is still an old and broken ship, but they are now equipped with rocket launchers, "Reload, continue!"
There were dense sparks on the sea surface, which was Zheng's fire ship.
The main battleships and warships of the Liu family's navy were slowly retreating, and the artillery barrels were already hot and needed to rest, but rocket shells with faster firing rates could be fired.
Hundreds of fire ships attacked, while the Liu family navy fought back hundreds of rocket shells.
The rocket was launched first, and the sharp whistling swept across the battlefield. The sky was roasted red by the flames at the tail of the rocket, and its power was terrifying.
In a blink of an eye, rockets hit the suicide ship. The suicide ships that were hit directly entered the part state, or a fire broke out, and the explosions were endless.
There were only thirty-three main warships, but they fired hundreds or thousands of artillery fire density and momentum. The smoke and flames rolled and the flames soared into the sky. The suicide ships rushing up one by one burned in the violent explosions, and even turned into broken wooden boards flying all over the sky...
The crazy little dwarfs still shouted onboard and continued to attack.
The firepower net formed by rocket launchers did not completely stop the suicide ships of these Zheng's fleet. Many suicide ships also penetrated the firepower net of the Liu family's warships.
However, at this time, they were finally less than three hundred steps away from the main battleship of the Liu family army.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Zhilong was overjoyed.
All sacrifices are worth it. Isn’t it just more than a thousand suicide ships? Isn’t it just that more than a thousand dwarfs died? He can afford to lose these ships, and he can also afford to die these people.
There are too many dwarfs who can't make it. As long as you have food and money, there are so many dwarfs that you can easily recruit tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.
However, the problem is that the Liu family army's warship equipment ideas are similar to those in later generations. Liu Mingyu first upgraded the equipment with a three-layer strike firepower network, and the farthest was a 160-mm caliber naval gun, with a range of about five or six thousand meters. Of course, the accuracy is far from enough, and whether it can be hit depends entirely on luck.
The second is the rear-mounted rifled gun with a diameter of 120 mm and 28 times the diameter. He did not even have the army equipment, and all the naval guns produced were given priority to first-class warships.
The third layer is a rocket launcher. This rocket launcher with a range of 500 to 3,000 meters is used as the third layer of defense or attack method for the first-class battleship. The last is a Thunder gun, or it can be said to be a Thunder gun.
In later generations, a machine gun bullet of 12.7 mm can be broken by hitting the arm. If it hits the human body, it will be a big hole the size of a punch. Three or four bullets hit the human body at the same time, which will break the human body and form a de facto halve.
So what about the 32 mm gun?
As long as you hit the human body, it would be a big blood hole. As these suicide fire ships approached, a thunder gun was descending from a high place and began to shoot wildly.
Thousands of suicide ships that were preparing to launch a suicide attack were fired into pieces. There were suicide ships that were beaten into wreckage, or wreckages that were bombarded into parts.
This scene not only scared the other party, but also scared the soldiers of the Liu family.
Because they were too nervous, many bullets did not hit the opponent. This round of strafing, although it took not long, there were tens of thousands of bullets fired.
This kind of suicide ship under the defense can easily penetrate with a single thunder gun. The dwarf shot into it, without exception, turned into a pile of minced meat.
Unlike the infantry of the Liu family army, infantry soldiers have long been accustomed to the power of Thunder guns, but this is the first time that naval soldiers use Thunder guns to fight in actual combat.
The little dwarfs' minds were blank and they had not yet reacted until a little dwarf who was beaten into two parts and yet not dead let out a shrill scream.
The screams finally made the survivors react, and suddenly let out a shrill scream: "They are not humans, they are evil ghosts! Run!"
In fact, we can't blame this sentence "Run quickly" in the words of human quotations.
In fact, there are not many people who can understand the words of people. However, the emotions of fear breed and spread in the Zheng family's joint fleet like a plague, and quickly spread to everyone.
However, it is not that easy to run.
Even if those suicide ships can escape the range of Thunder guns, they will still be baptized by rocket shells. Even if they dodge rocket shells, they will still have a 120-mm rear-mounted rifled gun.
In short, the more than 5,000 small suicide ships that Zheng Zhilong finally pulled up lost more than 2,000 in just one hour.
Zheng Zhibao cried: "Brother, you can't beat me anymore, you can't beat me anymore!"
As Zheng Zhibao said, if you can't bite a hair after fighting for a long time, you can't get rid of a hair, and if someone shoots a volley, you will be killed or injured. How can you fight this battle?
Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to attack! Their cannons are not infinite. The gun barrels will get hot and even explode after being shot for a long time. Then our chance comes! Attack! Can't give them any chance to breathe!"
In theory, this is true, but...
That's just a theory.
Zheng Zhilong finally bit his lip and said, "Just this little warship dares to attack me? Do you really think I'm a good person? Attack! Tear them into pieces!"
Those little dwarfs from the country, following Zheng Zhilong's order, cheered, "Onboard, onboard!"
The remaining more than 2,000 suicide ships launched a dense attack arrow, like a crescent moon, surrounded the Liu family's navy.
Zheng Zhilong thought that no matter how fast the gun or cannon was, as long as the shooting speed was fast enough, the barrel would definitely turn red and he had to stop, otherwise it would explode.
The little dwarfs are equally strong and aggressive, and they cannot decide the winner in terms of momentum. In this way, they have to use naval guns and machine guns and Thunder guns to distinguish the difference.
The soldiers of the Dutch Combined Fleet looked at the attack of the Liu family navy in the distance in amazement, the rockets dragging long tail flames, mortar shells with sharp roars, and the sound of Thunder guns boring.
The Dutch people had white faces and their bodies were shaking like sieves. They silently prayed for God's blessing.
It’s just a pity that the Ming Dynasty is not under the jurisdiction of God, and God is not easy to use here.
The suicide ships of the Zheng fleet were never able to get within 500 meters of the Liu family naval warship, because at this distance, Thunder guns were required to join the shooting ranks, and the firepower density was greater.
Zheng Zhilong bit his lip hard, and his fingers turned white due to excessive force.
At this time, he had already understood the tactics and advantages of the Liu family navy, and was mentally prepared for it. He was not frightened by the fierce artillery fire, but instead accelerated the speed.
Their naval gun range is far inferior to that of the Liu family navy's naval guns. Only by approaching within 300 meters as soon as possible can the firepower of the side guns be used to destroy the opponent, otherwise this battle will not be fought.
However, the problem is that not to mention three hundred meters, even within a range of five hundred meters, this is an insurmountable restricted area.
The speed of suicide ships is indeed very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it is much slower than those planes. In this case, using Thunder guns is as easy as shooting a target.
As the battle progressed, the firepower density of the Liu family army seemed to have dropped a lot, mainly because the Thunder guns were all fired, rather than continuous shooting.
Although the shooting density decreases, the hit rate is much higher.
"Yes, that's how you fight!"
"Brother, stop fighting, please withdraw!"
Zheng Zhibao smiled bitterly and said, "It's meaningless to continue fighting!"
Zheng Zhilong naturally knew that Zheng Zhibao was right, but even if he retreated, so what? Pirates were born because of interests, and they also survive because of interests, and they were even linked because of interests.
Zheng Zhilong said: "We provoked this guy Liu Ming. Even if I kowtow to Liu Ming, will he give us a way out?"
"this……"
Zheng Zhibao sighed: "I'm afraid not!"
"It's not that I'm afraid I won't, but definitely not!"
Zheng Zhilong was a little nervous and calmed down: "It's okay, when you win this battle, the warships and cannons of the northern barbarians will all belong to us!"
Shi Dafu, who was standing behind Zheng Zhibao, turned his eyes and had some thoughts in his head. He gave Zheng Zhibao a wink and signaled Zheng Zhibao not to persuade him again.
However, Zheng Zhibao did not notice Shi Dafu's kindness.
Shi Dafu sighed a long time, left the flagship, and boarded a small speedboat, which was the boat of Yan Keying, the brother-in-law of Zheng Zhilong.
Yan Keying is Zheng Chenggong's nominal uncle and Zheng Zhilong's original wife Zheng's younger brother, but now, Yan Keying is also sitting on the bench, the kind that grandma doesn't love her uncle and doesn't love her.
Although Zheng Zhilong took over the inheritance of his adoptive father Li Dan, he was inseparable from another man Yan Siqi. He did not have the territory and population of the founding king of Tai, nor did Zheng Zhilong today.
He and his wife Tian Chuansong had a famous son Zheng Chenggong, so she became famous all over the world, but Yan was his original wife.
"Keying!"
"Dafu, what are you doing?"
"Come and find a way out!"
Shi Dafu pointed to the shelling as gorgeous as fireworks in the distance: "Keying thought, how long can the boss last?"
Yan Keying remained silent. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know!"
"Honey and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away when the disaster comes!"
