Chapter 33: The Solitary Army Goes Deeper
I remember when Qian Xiaoxing first confronted Lansha, Lansha ordered the pirates to chisel the ship. Fortunately, Lan Lin reminded him to survive. This chiseling seems to be a common method used by pirates.
Lan Lin shouted to Lan Sha who was commanding the battle below: "Brother! Black Octopus has sent someone to drill a boat."
Lan Sha raised her head and waved her hand and shouted, "Don't worry, I've expected this. Playing with this in front of me, the black octopus is still a little tender, so you can watch it."
Qian Xiaoxing felt relieved after hearing this. This boat was really scary. He was so scared that he ran away that he was not caught. Qian Xiaoxing put his hand on Lan Linxiang's shoulder and said, "It seems that your brother is ready, so let's watch the show with peace of mind."
The divers of the Black Octopus Sect were getting closer and closer to the Si Army warship, with more than 500 people. Lansha was closely watching the movements of the group of people, and the distance was getting closer and closer, one hundred meters... fifty meters... thirty meters... twenty meters, Lansha finally gave the order: "Drop the deep water bomb!"
Si Jun soldier standing at the bow of the ship was holding a ceramic bomb the size of a basketball. A long pipe poked the bomb, which was a fuse tube. After igniting it, the lid was covered, so the fuse would not be soaked in the sea water.
In the densely populated areas of Lin Jun diving soldiers, deep-water bombs were thrown down one by one. Not long after, dull explosions sounded at the bottom of the sea, and the water surface was shaken, causing a stream of water.
The Lin army submerses around the bomb were bleed by their seven orifices, and they did not move, slowly sank into the sea bottom. At the same time, the sea water rolled, and the sea surface was covered with white patches, and many sea fish were also blown to death and floated up.
After losing a few rounds of deep-water bombs, the more than 500 Lin Army divers were left with only some that had not yet arrived in the distance, and the others disappeared without a trace. Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but sigh after seeing it and said, "So bloody and violent!"
Lan Lin couldn't help but curse: "Why don't you say it when you bomb others yourself?"
"Haha, I didn't say I was not bloody or violent," Qian Xiaoxing said, and reached out to pinch Lan Lin's chest. The touch was really comfortable, firm and round.
"Take advantage of me!" Lan Lin twisted Qian Xiaoxing's hand with one hand and said, "I'm more bloody and violent than you! You should be careful."
The ship-driving crisis was easily resolved, but Lansha still asked his subordinates to pay close attention to the situation in the sea and not be hit by negligence. At this moment, the Lin Guo warships had rushed towards the encirclement regardless of everything, because they also understood that fighting with the Si Guo warships would have no hope of victory.
"Retreat!" Lansha gave the order.
When the Siguo warship starts a steam engine, it can move freely in all directions in the sea without taking into account the wind direction. When the Linguo warship goes further, the Siguo warship takes a step back and always maintains a distance of 200 meters.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The Si Jun artillery was very happy to fight, and everyone cheered happily as the shells they fired hit the enemy ship.
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head helplessly when he saw this situation, and said, "This battle is not obvious, there is no suspense at all."
Lan Lin replied contemptuously: "Do you still hope there is some suspense?"
"No, I just feel that Lin Guo's warships are so good, and they are sunk by us. It's such a pity. Why don't we add more difficulties?" Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.
Lan Lin asked in confusion: "What do you want to do?"
"If you want to do it, when will you do it for me?" Qian Xiaoxing said in a conversation.
Lan Lin photographed Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Who asked you this? I mean, how do you want to increase the difficulty?"
Qian Xiaoxing pointed to the Lin Jun warship on the sea and said, "In just a short while, you see that half of it has been sunk by us. A warship costs 100,000 taels of silver. I wonder if we can capture the remaining warships, we can use them ourselves in the future. In addition, we can kill fewer people. I am still very kind."
"That's right," Lan Lin nodded. People who grew up on the beach all had a special feeling for the ships. The warships built by Lin Jun were of very good quality, and they were beaten to pieces. Lan Lin was really reluctant to let it go and said, "Then ask my brother, see if you are sure to capture these ships."
"Well, everything is done under the premise of safety. Let's go down." Qian Xiaoxing slowly climbed down the mast, but saw Lan Lin grabbing the cable and swinging it, then slipping to the deck. Seeing Qian Xiaoxing climbing slowly, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Qian Xiaoxing saw Lan Sha and asked him if there was a way to capture these ships. Lan Sha thought for a moment, shook his head in embarrassment and said, "To capture, you must be controlled after boarding the ship. The Lin army has a large number of naval forces, so it is not easy to be able to defeat them."
Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "You are right, but this is a regular style of playing. We can adopt unconventional style of playing."
Lan Sha was stunned for a moment and said, "I wish to hear and see."
Qian Xiaoxing fought a land war than Lansha, so he also had more experience than Lansha. Qian Xiaoxing said: "At present, I have observed that it has probably sunk half of the Lin Kingdom warships, and our army has not lost a single warship. It has demonstrated the strong strength of our navy. This Lin army naturally sees it. As long as we give them a chance to surrender, they will definitely give up resisting."
Lan Sha nodded and replied, "This method can be tried."
Qian Xiaoxing continued to add: "Of course, if their chief general can be destroyed, the Lin army will surrender smoothly."
"Okay!" Lan Sha was also very confident after hearing this and said, "I was just about to settle the score with the Black Octopus. Although his flagship was hiding in the pile of ships, you can just look at mine."
Since Qian Xiaoxing was on the boat, Lan Sha didn't dare to take risks with this boat. Seeing him boarding the warship beside him, holding the rudder wheel, directing the ship and rushing into Lin Jun's pile of ships.
When Lan Lin saw that Lan Sha was going to go deeper alone, she was very worried. She grabbed Qian Xiaoxing's hand and asked, "It won't be a problem for my brother to go, right?"
Qian Xiaoxing was really shocked by Lan Sha's boldness when a boat dared to rush into the enemy ship group. However, since Lan Sha dared to go, he naturally had enough confidence, so he comforted Lan Lin and said, "Don't worry, you have to believe your brother. Besides, if there is something wrong, I will send a boat to save him."
Lansha drove the warships and flexibly interspersed among the enemy ships. On the one hand, Lansha's superb driving skills and familiarity with the ships, and on the other hand, the continuous power support of the ship's steam engine.
Lin Jun warships watched Lansha's ship pass by, but they couldn't react to how to deal with it. When the black octopus saw Lansha driving, he was shocked and understood that Lansha was coming to him and shouted: "Stop him, stop him!"
Lin's warship was large, so it was very bulky. The two warships in front wanted to get closer to block the Lansha warship's way, but they were slower and rushed over quickly by Lansha.
After rushing through these two boats, the flagship where the black octopus was sitting was directly opposite. When he was about to hit him, Lansha hully hit the rudder. The ship made a sharp turn, causing the hull to tilt slightly. At this time, the cannon on one side had already aimed at the flagship.
"Fire the cannon!" Lansha ordered.
The two ships were only more than twenty meters apart. The cannons bombed Lin Jun's flagship. Twenty cannons broke out twenty large holes, and the shells fell into the cabin and exploded. The wooden pieces on the ship were immediately blown away in scattered spaces, and one of them fell in front of Lansha.
The huge explosion force exploded the hull, and the black octopus watched helplessly as the ship slowly sank, secretly cursing Lansha. He had already hid behind him and was still coming to cause trouble. He glanced at Lansha's warship and his hair was so scared that he stood up.
It turned out that Lan Sha was unwilling to see that the black octopus was not killed by the blow, so he came to the back of the ship, where there was a stern cannon here. What the black octopus saw was the pitch-black muzzle aimed at him.
Lansha adjusted the angle, took out the lighter and lit the lead. The lead with the "hiss" of the fire was counting down the life of the black octopus.
