Chapter 419： Fire extinguisher

"Pumping machine, get ready to pump water."

Some of the fire boats of the Ming army broke through the defense and rushed towards Dahua’s big ship. Dahua’s commanders ordered one after another to take out the pumps prepared in advance.

The old ship caught fire is very dangerous and difficult to put out. Don't look at the water under the boat, but it's not easy to get the water up.

The decks of these big ships are two or three meters above the water surface. In the past, they could only be lifted up with buckets and buckets, and the speed was very slow.

What's more, where is so much space on the warship used to place buckets.

For those fire boats with flammables, a few buckets of water is just a drop in the bucket, and they can't do much to put out the fire.

But it is different now. The pumping speed is much faster than that of manpower.

Moreover, the technical content of this gadget is low. Almost every large ship of the Chinese Army is equipped with this kind of equipment.

Just as they were preparing, the first fireboat hit the Chinese army.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army on the fire boat jumped onto a smaller escape boat.

When they boarded the ship, they all smiled one by one, because they had completed their mission.

As long as you can go back alive, you can receive a lot of rewards.

The credit for burning down a large enemy ship is not small.

However, they have not been happy for long.

"Look, what is that?"

A soldier of the Ming Army pointed to the cowhide water pipe that was constantly pouring water and asked. He couldn't figure out how this thing could keep pouring water out of it.

This......

Several other Ming soldiers were also dumbfounded, none of them had seen the thing.

But this is not important. Although they don't know what it is, they know that it is used to put out fires.

I saw water continuously coming out of the water pipe, spraying continuously at those burning places.

Soon, the fire was brought under control.

If this is replaced by human power, they will not necessarily be able to destroy it after the ship is burned out.

But now, the damage caused by the fireboat to the large Chinese ship is not even as good as the previous collision.

"What's the situation, does the dragon absorb water? They asked the Dragon King to help out?"

The superstition in the Ming army is more serious than that of Dahua.

Seeing that kind of water pipe, they directly contacted the legendary Dragon King, who controls water.

Such an outrageous explanation was recognized by several other people.

Apart from this explanation, they could not think of other possibilities.

"Run away, they have the Dragon King to help out, we can't win at all. Maybe, the Dragon King will have to call the wind and rain and blow our ship over."

The soldiers of the Ming Army yelled to retreat. They didn't want to fight the unknown stuff. It was too weird.

However, it is not so easy for them to escape the gun.

They were already in the range of the Chinese Lancers, and those Lancers were already shooting at them.

Thanks to the low hit rate of those flintlocks, otherwise at this distance, they would be a group of ducks waiting to be slaughtered.

Except for some unlucky ones, most people can escape with speed and flexibility.

This situation is happening in many places.

Zheng Zhihu saw this scene through a telescope, and was also taken aback by surprise.

This is completely different from the situation in his plan. In his plan, these fireboats will not only cause massive damage to Dahua's navy, but also cause chaos to Dahua's navy.

But now, he has not achieved either of the two goals.

If he could turn around and escape from the gun, he wanted to turn around and retreat.

The fireboat's attack did not work, and the difficulty of defeating the Chinese army was greatly increased.

Even if there is hope of victory, the price paid must be very painful.

"My lord, order to speed up. At this time, only the battle is beneficial to our army."

Zheng Zhihu's subordinates reminded that this is not the time to be in a daze.

As the coach, he must always be aware of the situation on the field and adjust his tactics.

"Tell the sailor to stop saving his energy and approach at full speed."

Zheng Zhihu reacted and quickly ordered.

As the main ship raised its flag and accelerated the flag, the officers in front gave orders to the sailors to speed them up.

Soon, the distance between the two sides entered within 100 meters.

The gunmen on both sides raised their guns and started shooting each other.

The hit rate at this distance is very low, but it is better than nothing. Anyway, compared to shells, bullets are much cheaper and can be wasted as much as possible.

Dozens of bullets can kill an enemy, even if it is not a loss.

"They thought they could shoot us with a few flintlocks. It was naive."

Dahua's soldiers ridiculed the enemy while loading their ammunition, their expressions were quite relaxed.

Compared with the previous flintlocks, the new flintlocks they use now have some improvements in performance. The bullets are fired faster and farther, the hit rate is also improved to a certain extent, and the reloading is also changed. It's easier and more convenient.

More importantly, they are numerous.

Now a quarter of Dahua's troops have been replaced with flintlocks, and matchlocks are almost eliminated.

In their navy, apart from some soldiers with special missions equipped with other weapons, most of the soldiers have used the new flintlocks.

Gunshots broke out, and white smoke drifted around after the shots, adding a faint mist to the battlefield.

In the first round of the salvo between the two sides, Dahua's navy taught each other how to behave.

They shot down in a volley, and at least 30 or 40 of them died on Daming's side.

In a volley of Da Ming's fire, only seven or eight of Dahua's soldiers died.

After a few rounds of shooting, many Da Ming soldiers began to scurry around, looking for something to hide. It was too dangerous to not want to be exposed to Dahua's gun.

"All stand up for me to fight back, can you hide? Is there any place to hide on this broken ship?"

The generals of the Ming army yelled at them, and drew out their big swords, forcing the soldiers to continue to fight back.

There are actually quite a few places to hide, but the generals of the Ming army do not allow soldiers to do so.

Although it is more disadvantageous to fight back, it hurts morale not to fight back.

Under the persecution of the officers, those soldiers could only stand up, continue to shoot at the Chinese army, and fight hard.

At this time, the comparison is whose fighting will is more tenacious and able to hold on for longer.

In this regard, the Huajun naturally has to be even better.

But in terms of the total number of people, the Ming army has the upper hand, even if they suffer a little loss in the exchange, they can still afford it.

After nearly ten rounds of shooting, the forward ships of the two sides finally intersected.

Some boats even collided, and the violent vibration shook some unsteady soldiers into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Ming Army threw out their hooks, hooked the Chinese Army ship firmly, and then jumped onto the Chinese Army ship to start a cruel battle.
