In the thick fog, a class III windsurfing warship belonging to the navy of Chongqing is cruising on the sea.
Since reaching an agreement with the Dutch to recapture the coastal routes of Dayu, the Navy warships have been responsible for ensuring the safety of the sea routes and combating the piracy of merchant ships.
It's just that the ocean is vast and boundless. Even so, sometimes it's impossible to avoid the plundering of merchant ships, but it's a rare thing for merchants.
"This sudden fog is rare."
The third class warship named "intrepid" is under the command of Captain Xie Yuan. Two days ago, after resupplying in the city of reranzhe, he directed the warship to the kingdom of Sanshan, which is their cruising route.
Chief officer Ding Chang said, "yes, I can't see anything from 50 meters away. "
Xie Yuan frowned and said," let the soldiers cheer up and keep alert. If we are attacked by pirates at this time, it will be very bad for us. "
"Yes, captain. "Ding Chang said, and then called to the soldiers on the ship," keep vigilant. All the Gunners are in position in the cabin, ready to fight at any time. "
the soldiers were ordered to enter their positions in an orderly manner.
After cruising on the sea for a year, they knew that the sea was like a child, and their faces changed as soon as they could. It might have been a clear sky just now, and a storm might come in the twinkling of an eye.
The fog was the same this time. Originally, the sea was calm, and the fog suddenly covered the warships like a cloud wall.
Setting up the guard, xie Yuan looked at the chart on the ship. They were 100 li away from the wharf of Sanshan kingdom.
After confirming his position, xie Yuan reversed the hourglass again. At sea, they all recorded time through this thing.
Just as he was carrying out his routine tasks, suddenly a musical bell came from the sea.
Hearing this, xie Yuan immediately went from the cabin to the deck. He asked Ding Chang, "do you hear me? "
" yes, it's the rapid bell. " Ding Chang's face was dignified, and all kinds of terrible legends suddenly poured into his mind, making him uneasy.
He had never seen such a strange situation in a year's cruise on the sea. Who would ring the bell on the vast sea?
Like Ding Chang, the soldiers on the ship were also worried. The theory of ghosts and gods was not so easy to eradicate, and the more they thought about it, the more scared they were.
Just as everyone was concentrating, suddenly the soldier on the mast lookout platform called out, "is there anything unusual ahead? "
hearing this, xie Yuan immediately picked up his telescope and looked at the fog ahead.
At this time, the sea was blue, and it was cloudy and dark under the thick fog. Just as Xie Yuan looked at the fog, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the fog.
Without waiting for Xie Yuan's reaction, the shadow suddenly found a burst of yellow light. Xie Yuan was shocked. He called out: "enemy attack! Enemy attack
As soon as his voice fell, the roar of guns came from the shadow, and the black shells flew to the intrepid like lightning.
"Dong Dong "The sound of cannonball penetrating the hull sounded, and the warship was in a mess.
Xie Yuan could not make up his mind at this time. In this sea area, only their navy was equipped with guns. From the dark shadow, the warships of the other side looked very similar to them.
He doubted that this was a mistake made by other naval warships and regarded them as the enemy, but he could not confirm that he could not see each other clearly.
”Captain, what should we do? "Ding Chang asked. This round of shooting made the warship very embarrassed, and sawdust flew everywhere. He roared:" fire first. "
Ding Chang answered and immediately sent the order to fire.
Then a round of gunfire broke out from the bottom of the cabin.
After the gunfire, the nearer and nearer shadow seems to be in silence. A glimmer of hope rises in Xie Yuan's heart. As he is about to scold the captain for mistaking them, suddenly the shadow lights up again.
”Get down! "Xie Yuan pressed Ding Chang directly on the deck, and his face was gloomy. This time, no matter who he was, he would fight back.
"Dong Dong..." Shells hit the warship again, xie Yuan endured the pain of sawdust hit him, said: "fight back immediately. "
" fight back! Fight back
After this round of volley, he also had some hair. If he didn't fight back, the intrepid would be sunk.
In the cabin, the place hit by the shell began to dew, and the carpenter immediately took boards and nails to repair the hull damaged by the shell.
At this time, the ordered artillery began to fire back at the shadow in the sea.
"Boom boom..." The guns roared and the shells flew towards the shadow.
Xie Yuan watched nervously on the deck. As the two sides got closer and closer, when they were 50 meters away, he finally saw each other's warships clearly.
This is a warship similar to the intrepid, except that the flag on the warship has a meter character pattern.
On the warship stood a group of soldiers in red tuxedos, black leather shoes, white Leggings on their calves and black hats.
This scene makes Xie Yuan a little silly. He has read some information about countries in the world at Bowen college. If the information is correct, they are now encountering a British warship.Xie Yuan's heart sank down. He knew very well how powerful the navy of this country was, and Yue Yun sometimes talked about his experience when he went south.
Although he was talking and laughing, they could hear the seriousness.
At the moment when he was stunned, the red shirt army on the opposite side suddenly pointed to this side with a flint gun.
Confirmed that the other side came with hostility, xie Yuan suddenly calmed down, he once again let the soldiers lie down to avoid.
After they lay down, the opposite warship burst into flames, and flint guns and bullets crackled on the warship.
"Damn it, bullying your father." Xie Yuan's anger surged up. He said to Ding Chang, "give me a hard beating."
Ding Chang was almost hit by a bullet, and he was also enraged. He scolded: "what are you doing now? If you don't fight back, it's not Japanese pirates, it's red haired ghost. "
the soldiers lying on the deck immediately got up, picked up their flint guns and fired at each other.
At this moment, another round of artillery salvo was fired on the opposite side, and the intrepid also used the same color.
The warships passed each other in the mutual bombardment. At this time, the British warships disappeared again in the thick fog.
Xie Yuan focused on the surrounding sea, waiting for a while, the British warship was still missing.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Asked Ding Chang.
Xie Yuan frowned deeply. It was very strange for the British to appear in this sea area. He hesitated for a moment and said, "return to Dengzhou immediately. We need to report the situation to General Yue Yun. "
Ding Chang nodded and immediately ordered to return.
At this time, the Duke, a British class III warship, was heading for Japan. Captain Wilson looked at the thick fog behind him and pondered
