Chapter 4: Water Antenna, Burning (10)

Night had fallen, and there was not much of the purple glow.The whale oil navigation lights were lit on the mast, and the bleeding red muzzle flames from time to time on the double deck, and the flickering lights reflected the horrible silhouette of the ghost ship."Can't stop it. Quickly find something to stabilize!"

Suo Zhongwu kicked the approaching corpse puppet away and hugged the gun base anxiously.At this moment, the mast hovering high above the head suddenly "brushed" to unfold the giant brown sail, and within four or five seconds, all three masts opened their main sails.

Only a stiff sail with stringers can be so efficient.The huge sail surface hit the headwind and immediately bulged in the opposite direction. The "Mingwei Xianxin" was strangled like a lasso, and the tail sinking and the head tilted almost jumped from the sea.The paddle wheels on both sides were also reversed at this time. The strength must be at least the two cars retreating. The giant ship that was just moving on slowed to almost a stop in the blink of an eye. The corpses on the deck were turned over by inertia and did not do it. Well prepared mortals are also falling down.

Suo Zhongwu knocked his head again, and two bags were drilled out of his head, which looked like the feet of some legendary creature.He sat on the salt box, the seam of the ship board creaked under his feet, and a heart almost flew out of his mouth."What's going on? Battleship drifting?!"

A musket slid into the field of view, and the bayonet was hanging on the jaw of a corpse.This operation by the captain of the “Mingwei Xianxin” almost broke the ship, but the effect was also immediate: the ghost ship on the left and right sides was about to plunge the collision angle into the amidships, but the naval flagship’s "Suddenly brake", but let them fall short at the last second.

The paddle wheel battleship should have been there, but now there is only cold water.The two bloated ghost ships tried to turn the rudder while swaying from side to side, but they were too burdensome, and the heavy hull was unable to make fine movements.

With the help of whale oil navigation lights, Suo Zhongwu saw the enemy's end.Just like the slow motion of a movie, the two ghost ships approached each other slowly but unstoppably. The bows of the two bows were about to be avoided when they collided with the corners. After a second, they rammed each other again, giving out a toothy creak. noise.

The gun barrel tied to it thumped and fell into the water.The collision angle composed of steel, carapace, and mast was also directly torn off by the huge impact. One flew onto its own deck, and the other was deeply embedded in the hull of a friendly ship.It's not over yet, it's far from over. The two ghost ships still have strong inertia, and continue to sail as if being yanked by an invisible arm. You squeezed me and I crushed the two bows to smash.

Last year, Suo Zhongwu saw a tragic car accident on the Outer Ring Road.The two overloaded vehicles collided head-on, and the front of the vehicle collapsed and melted into a ball. The container spun far away, not only collapsing itself, but also completely flattening the green belt.Enlarging this scene a hundred times, it is probably the collision scene in front of us:

The two ghost ships first tilted up and then fell down, disintegrating and floating and sinking on the sea, breaking the hull to create a spectacular water curtain.When they finally consume the kinetic energy, the wreckage has been merged into one, and together they throw rain of debris around.

"Ha!" Suo Zhongwu laughed shortly, trying to spit to vent, but his mouth was dry as if he had been hit by a drought.He simply broke the thought, slapped the fatter loader with a palm, and urged:

"Watch a fart! Come back to work!!"

There are also groups of corpse puppets on the ship, slowly climbing up.Although the ghost ship suffered heavy damage, most of it persisted in the sea.Now is not the time to celebrate, to fight, to fight, to continue to fight—

Starboard, at three o'clock.The two signal rockets suddenly rushed into the night sky and exploded happily.It's red, it's the big red that the wing warship expresses greetings, and only one bullet is far away.The fleet has finally arrived!

First-class battleships, third-class battleships, cruisers, frigates, siege gunboats, anti-smuggling clippers... all the eleven surviving wing ships arrived, sending out fireworks signals into the air.The most urgent is the airship mothership "Guangde Hongyi".This paddle-wheeled battleship is the most flexible, and it is also the closest to the "Mingwei Xianxin". The first rocket was launched by her.Although it has not yet entered the effective range, the airship mothership has begun to fire one after another, and one water column surrounds the ghost ship, like a thick fence for holding harmful animals.

"..." Suo Zhongwu grinned silently, smiling like a mosquito.The long-lost sense of peace reappeared again, making the limbs become warm. He turned the muzzle to the bow tower, and fiercely pulled the match rope. The flintlock gun immediately burst out of sparks, and the ignited charge propelled the cannonball, making the switch. The quick cannon roared swiftly.

A few corpse puppets who had just gotten up and had not recovered their balance were directly bombarded by shells to the dregs, with their hands, feet and heads scattered on the ground.Their brothers and sisters were also being shelled, shot, and strung together like candied haws with boat spears, and then swept into the sea like garbage.The sailors of the flagship of the Marine Division began to clean up the remnant enemies with extremely zealous energy. Everyone was radiant and vigorous, just as if there was no hard fight for several hours.

Victory seems to have arrived, there is no doubt at all.At this time, how could Lao Kui be missing? He didn't know what persuasive tactics he had used. He actually carried the whale oil lamp together with the captain and poked his head out of the cab excitedly."Cheers, Jiro!" Suo Kui yelled out his slogan abruptly, clearly preparing for the speech:

"This is your victory! This is the victory of the Zhenyang Army and the Henghai Eight Kingdoms! Cheers, for the end of the Black Plague Navy!"

The two fat and thin loaders immediately screamed.The deck warhead, guns and guns department, and of course the sailing and cable department that has just done their work, are also full of voices.Slogans such as "Wansheng!" and "Long live!" resounded through the deck, a bit more lively than the holiday celebration.

Suo Zhongwu was too lazy to participate.He looked around with his hands on his hips, just wanting to find Hariata's figure quickly.On this ship, the first mate who can say a few more words... "Why, the deck is so big, so I can't find it. Oh, the ghost ship sank? The airship mothership Good job, price chicken legs. Hey, what's the matter, the ship on the port side is lighting up? The mast is quite high, it should be a battleship. Which one is it?"

Just as he was thinking about the name of the ship, the already towering mast suddenly jumped again with a signal light.The abnormal situation happened without warning. The battleship on the port side, the seawater tumbling violently as if boiling, a large number of blisters gushing out of the water, lifting the hull weighing thousands of tons on the spot.
