Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 681
The rope was straightened quickly, and the winch at the bow rotated, making a creaking sound, and both ships were tilted and swayed.

On the barbarian boat, the Dutch finally realized at this time that they underestimated the lucky boat in front of them.

At this time, it is obviously not cost-effective for the merchant-minded Dutch. They can take advantage of the speed of the ship and the sharpness of the gun to create a distance and destroy the lucky boat first.

But it was also because they were too greedy. They wanted to capture the lucky boat and the Chinese sailors on it completely, so as to obtain the maximum benefits, so they came here too early.

A Dutchman on the Yi boat yelled a few birdsong. He Yi on the side of the boat reacted, straightened up, and swung his sword to cut the rope. The famous bird musketeer raised his gun and fired a round, and the lead bullets splashed over, piercing all the planks on the side of the ship, and the Dutchman who was cutting the rope was so frightened that he quickly fell down again.

Soon a group of Dutch musketeers raised their guns and shot back. The "bang bang bang" lead bullets were thrown at Fuchuan, and people were hit one after another, screaming again and again. The beating people squatted down quickly and reloaded the ammunition.

The blunderbusses on the Fuchuan were inferior to Heyi's firearms in terms of performance. One side was still reloading, while Heyi had already fired another round. For a while, Fuchuan fell into a passive situation of being beaten.

Compared with muskets, the gunners on the Yi boat were still cleaning the barrel and cooling the gun body, but the Franji on the Fu boat showed its power.

Several gunners pulled out the iron bolt immediately after firing a cannon, one of them took out the fired sub-gun, and the other quickly put the sub-gun with the ammunition loaded in advance, and then inserted it back into the iron bolt to fix it. The cannon shot out faster than the bird gun.

At this time, the two ships are almost close together. Although the power of the Franji is far less than that of the red cannon, and the projectile is much smaller, but at such a short distance, it can still break through the barbarian ship's side, and even the Heyi who are behind. It was torn apart by shells, and the blood mist filled the air.

On the Fuchuan, the Franco gunners were skilled in coordinating, and sawdust splashed from the straight-hitting barbarian boats, causing a mess on the deck, and even the musketeers on the barbarian boats were suppressed.

Wu Shizhao was squatting beside the side of the boat, holding the loaded blunderbuss, several times he wanted to stand up and shoot a blunderbuss, but his legs and feet would not obey him. He squeezed the blunderbuss tightly, and saw a gunner next to him standing up, Before he had time to aim, he flew upside down and fell on his back on the deck, with blood gushing out from his head, and his face was covered with blood holes.

Seeing this, Wu Shizhao couldn't help closing his eyes, gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and finally shot a blunderbuss.

Although it was purely a blind shot, the fear in his heart erupted out along with the projectiles ejected from the muzzle.

He quickly squatted down again, holding the blunderbuss in his hand to savor the aftertaste. Even if he was a scholar, he couldn't help but swear in his heart, "It's so fucking exciting!"

After a little stunned, Wu Shizhao hurriedly reloaded the ammunition, and his hands didn't even shake.

While he was loading the medicine, Han Hua suddenly pulled out the Miao Dao made by the Ming army and shouted like a beast, "It's on board! 20 taels of one, kill me!"

The boss of the boat also yelled, "Whoever retreats dies!"

On the deck, when everyone heard the sound, they raised their melee weapons and roared loudly. This was to strengthen their courage and to suppress the opponent in terms of momentum.

Several guards held a knife in one hand and a short spear in the other, and threw them directly. A Dutchman was caught off guard, pierced through his chest by the sharp short spear, and directly nailed to the deck.

With a loud "bang", the two ships finally collided, and the ship shook violently a few times. Everyone grabbed the lock rope or the guard plate to stabilize their bodies. When the ship was stable, the sailor tied the lock hook On board, the two ships are completely connected as one.

Han Hua took the lead, pushed open the baffle, and jumped over the side of the boat. He jumped high, and when he landed, he pulled a knife horizontally and slit the throat of a He Yi. throat, fell heavily.

Melee combat relies on morale and the first to win. It was supposed to be He Yi who rushed over, but everyone on the lucky boat jumped to help them one by one.

A sailor jumped off the lucky boat, and He Yi stabbed at him with a sword. The sailor's body suddenly arched, and the sharp sword pierced his abdomen. With one kick, he pulled out the sharp sword with his kicking force, and at the same time, another person jumped down, and directly chopped He Yi's head with a short axe.

The one who jumped down was the boss of the ship. The sails on the deck were criss-crossed and the long weapons were not working well. He was holding a sword and a hatchet along the way.
The ax smashed He Yi's head to blood, and he hit the ground again, and withdrew to knock down He Yi, and then shouted again, "20 taels!"

The Heyi people are tall and big, and they are not easy to deal with. Everyone must act together. The boss of the boat rushed into the crowd with a shout of encouragement. Boat.

For a moment, the two ships were hacking and killing each other on the narrow deck. Blood and flesh splattered on the ship. From time to time, an arm was removed, and a blood mist rose from time to time. Both sides had no way out. Light.

The losses of the two search boats are not much different. There are probably more than 40 people on both sides participating in the melee. However, the Heyi side has to subtract more than a dozen timid natives. Overall, the Fuchuan has the advantage.

The two sides were fighting for life and death, thick blood was everywhere on the deck, swords and swords were on board, the boss of the ship was a bit older after all, one accidentally stepped on the blood and slipped, and the He Yi who was fighting him was so tall that he raised his sword and was about to stab him. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and He Yi threw himself down, right on top of the boss of the boat.

Wu Shizhao didn't rush over to the boat, he shot He Yi down with a bludgeon, and then hurriedly reloaded again, but because of his impatience, the reloading speed slowed down instead.

A Dutch leader stabbed the sailor in front of him to death with a sword. Just in time, he saw Wu Shizhao who had just released the gun, so he walked towards the side of the ship with his sword in his hand. , and immediately fired a gun.

He Yi suddenly took a step back, but he didn't fall down. The projectile hit his breastplate, and sparks flew everywhere, leaving an indentation on the armor, but it didn't break the armor.

Wu Shizhao panicked after being hit by the shotgun. After all, it was his first experience in a fight, and it was okay to let go of the cold gun. When he faced the enemy directly, his hands trembled again, and even spilled most of the gunpowder in the medicine tank. While loading the medicine, he watched Na He Yi getting closer and closer. He wanted to run, but his feet seemed to be injected with lead.

The side fenders of the two ships were basically broken during the artillery battle, but in terms of the structure of the Fuchuan, the bow deck is a little higher than that of the Yi boat. Wu Shizhao saw that Heyi was about to jump on the Fuchuan, and he hadn’t loaded the ammunition yet. With fear on his face, a saber suddenly passed through Na He Yi's body from behind, but it was Han Hua who took care of his opponent and came to support him.

He held the handle of the knife with both hands, and inserted it from He Yi's back where there was no armor, blood flowed out along the blood groove, and then twisted the knife with both hands, He Yi immediately let go of the sword, and blood bubbles overflowed from his mouth.Han Hua drew the saber, and He Yi collapsed, then fell limply in front of Wu Shizhao.

Before Wu Shizhao had time to be grateful, two He Yi rushed out from the boat cabin. One was wearing a breastplate with a sword in his hand, and the other was even more exaggerated. His whole body was completely covered in the iron armor, and he couldn't even see his eyes.

This kind of armor is generally owned by Western nobles or knights. At this time, with the gradual decline of knights in the West, this kind of armor is more reduced to collections. Most of this armor is also a collection of the ship owner. I just asked someone to wear it for him. stand up.

The sudden appearance of these two people startled Han Hua. He turned around and slashed at the iron lump with a single blow. Sparks flew everywhere, but no damage was done, so he hurriedly jumped away and opened the distance.

At this time, although He Yi was tall and tall on the ship, he was not flexible enough on the narrow deck full of sails and sundries. Most of the guards of the Jinghai Company were retired from the army and were soldiers who had experienced battles. When he got up, he already had the upper hand, most of the Heyi on board were dead, and the natives were nestled in a corner, not daring to pick up the station, but the appearance of this iron bump brought some changes.

Soon after a guard hacked a He Yi to death, he also rushed towards the two He Yi. He restrained the breastplate He Yi, but Han Hua couldn't do anything against the iron bump. The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of the Qing soldiers were mostly dealt with with blunt weapons.

How could Han Hua think that there was such a thing on the boat? He looked around and saw that most of the people were holding swords that were easy to chop and kill. Passively defending, He Yi was so strong that he slashed down with a sword, forcing him to retreat again and again, and his arm was numb.

Wu Shizhao loaded the gunpowder, aimed at the iron man and fired a blunderbuss, but the power of the bird bludgeon was too weak to have any effect at all.

The iron man had the upper hand, and Han Hua retreated steadily. Seeing that he was about to be avoided, the captain of the boat covered his bleeding abdomen with one hand, and slashed at the iron man's back with a knife. He came to help, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing this, Han Hua stepped back and shouted, "Use a rope and find a blunt object to beat him to death!"

At this moment, Han Hua was about to be forced to the bow of the boat. Hearing the call, Wu Shizhao quickly picked up a rope. He was just jumping onto the barbarian boat. He picked up a short spear and inserted it into Han Hua's back.

Wu Shizhao's mind suddenly vibrated. Han Hua's care for him along the way came to his mind one after another, and his eye sockets became moist.
