Chapter 24 (1/2)

Zheng Hong slightly decelerated, exposing the two ships to the shooting range a little more. Although this angle is still small, it is enough to give considerable damage.

When the order to fire was issued, the left and right sides opened fire at the same time. In the roar, the bow of the two pirate ships was hit miserably, and wood chips flew everywhere. Unfortunately, it missed the key area, and the two ships still have navigation ability.

Like angry bulls, they hit the black fish on both sides. People in the gun cabin turned upside down for a moment. Many cannons that had not been reset after firing were knocked to the ground, killing and injuring many gunners.

At the same time, the blackfish was also attached to the side springboard. There was a hook scratch on the springboard, so it was not easy to break free after hooking.

At this time, all pirates poured into the splint, including Russians, Han people, Japanese, Nanyang aborigines and some Latin people in the Middle East. With all kinds of guns and cold weapons, they clamored to rush to the black fish.

This time, Wei Ran, who was staying in the cabin, heard an order from the boatswain.

”Get ready for the battle! Kill all these pirates who have eaten bear heart and leopard courage! ”

The sailors in the cabin drew out sharp blades one after another, their eyes were red and hissed loudly. In the artillery battle just now, our side was shelled many times. With strong armor plates, we survived, but nearly 200 people were still dead.

All sailors feel great pressure. The dead sailors are companions who get along day and night. Almost all of them are from Fujian, and many of them have relatives. This death and injury directly aroused the anger of the sailors.

Wei Ran remained basically calm, holding a double barreled shotgun, followed the sailor to the splint and prepared for the side battle.

The pirates and the crew took over. Both sides fired their own volleys. When the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, many pirates and crew were shot and killed one after another.

A single shot bolt action rifle needs to be loaded with bullets after firing. Therefore, both sides are divided into multiple rows of rotation shooting to maintain enough lasting firepower.

But the pirates were especially brave. They even arranged death squads. After the two sides had finished firing, these death squads rushed up the wiring board with revolvers and rushed into the crew of the black fish.

The firing speed of the revolver was much faster than that of the bolt rifle. Even if the crew killed a group by firing, most of them still managed to rush in. After they rushed on board, they fired one after another with revolvers, which immediately disrupted the gun array of the black fish.

Other pirates also lost their rifles and rushed up with pistols or cold melee weapons. They fought like veterans for many years. They were fierce and fearless. They were not like the mob of ordinary pirates at all.

Although the crew of the black fish suffered from the attack on both sides of the port and starboard, these crew members were elite. Even if they were rushed into the formation, they did not panic at all, but inspired their blood.

They have also been pirates. In this environment at sea, after being jumped and boarded, they either kill each other or be killed by each other to feed sharks. There is no second way.

Therefore, they broke out extremely strong combat effectiveness, took out short guns to shoot at each other, or directly fought with bayonets and sailor knives.

Wei Ran didn't officially join the battle until the pirate death squads got on the ship. He hid behind the mast. When he saw the pirates coming up, he fired continuously with a double barrel shotgun. Two jets went down to empty a place.

Then hide behind the mast, observe the situation and continue loading. Although his fighting ability is very strong, but after all, it is a physical fetus. There is no bullet to kill with high efficiency. It's not a game, it's life!

After a fight, pirates poured in more and more, and the scene became more uneven and chaotic, forming a pattern of you have me and I have you. There was no way to command such a chaotic battle. They could only fight to the death with the courage of sailors alone, and there was almost no place on the deck that was not fighting.
