Chapter 4: Water Antenna, Burning (7)

There are no sails.No matter how far away the guests were, none of them had sails or masts.

So the fighting broke out again.Until dusk, there was no sign of stopping."Mingwei Xianxin" and even the entire fleet have been fighting non-stop.Since Suo Zhongwu had already participated in it, of course he would not leave halfway. He threw away his shovel, found himself a chest armor casually, and continued to fight side by side with the brothers of the Zhenyang Army.

Braving the choking gunpowder, they vented firepower to the sea monsters one after another.They endured the thick blood and grabbed the fangs and gorged them.Everyone was exhausted, standing on the deck staggeringly, looking like an empty shelf. If anyone had a shift rest, they would immediately run to the stern tower and huddled together, snoring and sleeping like death.

When people are extremely exhausted, even Karon cannon fires.However, there is always greater movement in this world, and it is easy to cross the tolerance limit.When Suo Zhongwu was on his second holiday, he was awakened by a round of explosions as soon as he fell asleep, and fell into panic with everyone on board:

At that time, the sun had just slipped into the western sky.A 30-jin cast-iron gun on the upper artillery deck suddenly exploded because of the gunner’s misoperation or being hit by an enemy ship.The resulting violent detonation destroyed six nearby gun groups one after another. Two porthole windows spewed out raging flames at the same time, and the shock wave threw three heavy guns into the sea, which could never be salvaged by the technology of this world.

A violent explosion suddenly opened a big hole on the port side of the upper deck, and the cypress planks over 50 square meters were raised high, and it suddenly stopped halfway up like a mushroom.Suo Zhongwu was lucky, but he was knocked into the air, his head was bumped on the wooden frame, but the five sailors around the big hole were not so lucky.Five people were killed and two wounded with blood everywhere, and a seriously wounded man was also burrowed into the abdomen by a parasitic prawn who pretended to be dead.

The artillery deck is even more tragic.Suo Zhongwu went and took a look. The bottom of the hole was completely bloody, and there were even burnt intestines stuck to the ceiling; the victim's comrades dragged it with tears in their eyes, and took them down three times.This accident, or disaster, instantly added 80 casualties to the Navy's flagship, which was twice the result of the demon's previous battle.However, if the naval battle continues, the number will rise to eight hundred.

It's certainly not possible to rely on these miniature monsters.Although they looked disgusting, their combat effectiveness was not strong, and they were cleaned up by naval guns in the first hour.What was really difficult to deal with was the reinforcements that Suo Zhongwu saw. They came in a wide variety of types, and the number was much more than expected. They clung to the "Mingwei Xianxin" like a stalker.

The one responsible for attacking from underwater is the Overlord Scissor Shark with an unusually specialized head. This fierce beast is more than twenty feet in length, and its upper and lower jaws are like giant scissors. It bites the bottom of the ship without spreading its mouth. It sways left and right. Nibble a piece of copper;

The roulette ammonite was on the side as an assist.Their shells seem to be crushed, thick and heavy, which can be rotated by the main body, and they stare at the paddle wheel. After several rounds of collision, the steel shield is covered with depressions;

Even more shocking is that the Black Plague even sent a diving aircraft carrier. Three giant filter-feeding bony fishes emerged from the sea in an inverted shape. The full-width ten-foot mouth slowly opened, spitting out a group of noisy groups. Flying fish and crab...

Several sea monsters are like wild cats that smell fishy, ​​very difficult and tricky.However, mutated marine creatures are still creatures after all. As long as you use your brain, you can't deal with it:

The flying evil spirit refuses to come down and be hacked?OK, the navy flagship first put all the hard sails away so as not to cause a fire on the ship, and then launched a large number of rockets into the air, crackling a large piece of the evil spirits.Suo Zhongwu was also dragged to help, holding thirty sticks of incense in his hand, in a trance, it was as if he had returned to the elementary school winter vacation, setting off the sky monkey with his friends./Bamboo stabilizer bar, wooden shell cartridge, charge of mixed and purified struvite...It's so flavorful, let's deepen some more, let's deepen some more!/

The scissor mouth and tentacles in the water are cleaned with blooming bullets and gunpowder bags.The former is up to two kilograms and is directly taken from the fast gun ammunition storehouse, and only needs to be trimmed when using the slow-combustion fuze; the latter is simply to insert a special medicine twist into the propellant bag, making it easier to make.With a small modification, the stock ammunition turned into a depth charge, which was thrown into the sea by the sailors, exploding a column of cloudy water around the battleship.

Water is far more difficult to compress than air, and a few ounces of black powder can explode a powerful shock wave, breaking the gang of goods in the water.Scissor sharks, ammonites, and the buzzing little things did not hurt the "Mingwei Xianxin" in the end. The only result was that the battleship slowed down.

But this is enough.The slower speed meant that the navy flagship could not reconcile with the wing ship in time, and it was unable to reconcile in time, which gave the evil spirits the opportunity to concentrate their forces to besiege.Obviously, the black plague has made careful preparations. The main force behind the harassment unit and preparing to encircle the "Mingwei Xianxin" is not at the same level as the previous patchwork monsters. They are larger tonnage, more threatening, and against mortal officers and soldiers. The morale blow was also unprecedented.

There is a legend on the earth that after an ancient warship was sunk, it was driven back to the world by some mysterious force and became the ghost ship "Flying Dutchman" which was the enemy of the living.In this world, the Black Plague not only turned the legend into reality, but also made far more than one ghost ship.Most of the warships lost in the naval battle by the Zhenyang Army Navy were salvaged and re-entered into the battlefield after being decorated by evil spirits, facing their former comrades.

There are a total of five ghost ships besieging the "Mingwei Xianxin".Three frigates, one cruiser, and one sixteen-gun anti-smuggling clipper.When the lookout post reported the news, the voice was choking. The captain of the C-caron gun pulled off his turban and fell resentfully to the deck.

Grief, anger, imitation... The depressive atmosphere that permeated the crew made Suo Zhongwu almost breathless.He raised the binoculars again and looked at the ghost ship as if evasively.Their hulls are riddled with holes, and their shells are covered with seaweed barnacles. All kinds of shellfish are like patches, blocking holes and defects; all five ships have no sails, and only half of them in total. The mast relies entirely on the cephalopods attached to the bottom of the ship to spray water, which can keep up with the speed of the navy flagship.

Soque, who went to inspect the artillery deck, returned to the upper deck at this moment.He had a black face with a sullen expression, as if he had just entered the detention center and his bags under his eyes were only about to fall to the ground.
