The night was long, the gods were enraged once more, the sea roared once more, with flames spurting out and thunder rolling in the distance, and shells like falling meteor showers, with extremely shocking murderous aura, fiercely shot towards the Qin army's fleet.
The Wuhu in front had already hit a reef and the hull was seriously damaged. The Zhoushan, which was exploring to the east, also ran aground soon after. This was enough to show how dangerous this sea area was. Ke Chenshu's more than 20 warships were confined in a small space, which was equivalent to being trapped in a dead end.
There is a saying in the Art of War that one should put oneself in a position of death before he can survive. This is true.
But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, you take the initiative to put yourself in danger of death, rather than being led into death by others.
There are almost no examples in history of an army that was unknowingly led into a desperate situation for various reasons and then turned defeat into victory.
Not only did Vernado successfully lead Ke Chenshu to his death, but he also successfully concealed his strength. At this moment, thirty elite warships led by Acidene also rushed out from the night. According to the plan that had been deduced long ago, they infiltrated the rear of the Qin army, which was equivalent to blocking the Qin army's retreat route.
Hundreds of shells intertwined like rain in the sky, and then whistled down towards the sea where the Qin army's warships were located. For a moment, the sea was turbulent, fish and dragons were startled, and waves surged.
Some shells hit the Qin warships, making thrilling "bang bang" sounds, the decks were pierced, the sides of the ships were destroyed, and Vernado and Aquide cooperated perfectly, one in front and one behind, launching a violent and rainstorm-like pincer attack.
In this case, of the more than 20 warships of the Qin Army, only the front main guns and the rear guns could fight back. Such firepower could be almost ignored.
The Wuhu, which was in the front, had already been damaged by running aground, and was now bearing the heaviest fire. After being fired at five projectiles in succession, there was a crackling sound from the keel, which scared the Qin army soldiers on the ship and caused them to scream in fear.
Amid the exclamations of the Qin army soldiers, a more intense cracking sound was heard from the middle of the ship. The slender hull of the Wuhu was actually broken, and the wooden planks on the middle deck kept bulging. Break... ...
Captain Zhou Xingmin looked at the rapidly breaking middle of the ship's hull, his heart stabbed like a knife, his eyes filled with tears. This was his lifeblood. From the first day he became the captain of this warship, he had never thought of leaving it in this life.
But at this moment, it broke, and it broke into two pieces. Zhou Xingmin couldn't accept this fact. Although the enemy's shells were still flying, he turned a blind eye... ... .
"Captain! Captain! The Wuhu is going to sink, it's going to sink! Captain, quickly give the order to abandon the ship..."
Zhou Xingmin came to his senses and realized that although the soldiers were on the brink of life and death, and even though they saw their beloved warship was about to sink, without his order, no one abandoned the ship and escaped.
Zhou Xingmin woke up from his extreme grief and saw that all the soldiers were waiting for his order, although they could choose not to do so. In this case, they could escape spontaneously and would never be regarded as deserters.
But no soldier did so. They were on the battleship that was about to be disconnected, waiting for his orders amid the enemy's bombardment.
This scene made Zhou Xingmin's blood rush to his head and his hair stood up, "Ah!" Zhou Xingmin suddenly drew out his command knife, roared to the sky, and then gave the order... No, not to abandon ship, he did not give the order to abandon ship.
"Order! Everyone take your rifles, take all your rocket launchers, and follow me to the boats. Let's continue - fighting!"
Zhou Xingmin's last word "battle" sounded like a bloody cry. The soldiers did not say much. There was no time left. One by one, the small boats originally used for escape were quickly lowered into the sea and became their new warships.
There was another loud "crack!" and the 40-meter-high main mast of the Wuhu broke and crashed onto the sea with a terrifying force. Zhou Xingmin's heart was stabbed again, and was covered in blood.
On the sea surface all around, enemy shells fell like meteorites, stirring up water columns one after another. Zhou Xingzhou was drenched by the water, but it could not extinguish the grief and anger in his heart.
He was the last to leave the Wuhu because he was the captain.
After boarding the boat, he did not wait for the middle of the Wuhu to be completely broken, and immediately shouted: "Revenge for the Wuhu, revenge for our dead comrades!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
In this way, Zhou Xingmin took eight small boats and rushed towards Vernado's huge fleet without hesitation.
At this moment, on the flagship of the ocean-going fleet, all the staff officers were looking at Ke Chenshu. All the emergency plans that the staff officers had considered were provided. In fact, there were not many emergency plans to provide, and the only thing was to risk one's life to break through;
Moreover, there was only one direction, and they turned around suddenly because the Weishan in the west sent a message that there were reefs in the west. Although they were not sure how many there were, the current situation did not allow the Qin army to slowly explore.
Now the Dutch were firing fiercely from the front and back, and they could only fight back with their front main guns and rear guns. Even if they turned their battleships sideways, because the sea area was too narrow, only the few battleships outside could fire, and the battleships outside would block the battleships inside.
At this moment, the aviation brigade commander Wan Qingliu rushed in and shouted anxiously: "Deputy Admiral, please allow us to take off! Please allow us to take off!"
Ke Chenshu shouted: "It's not suitable to take off now, retreat!"
Wan Qingliu was unmoved, he knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Deputy Admiral, rather than letting the enemy annihilate us here, we would rather die in the sky."
"You can't even rise, so how can you talk about dying in heaven?"
"Vice Admiral, the worst that can happen is that we will die. Please allow us to take off. Vice Admiral, even if we all die in the sea, only a few dozen people will die. If we succeed, we can save the entire fleet."
Ke Chenshu paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will allow you to try."
"Thank you, Vice Admiral!"
Wan Qingliu rushed out of the command cabin without looking back, and shouted urgently as he ran: "Air Force Brigade, prepare to take off immediately, prepare to take off immediately..."
Liu Zhuzi and others, who had been extremely anxious for a long time, rushed into the cabin where the hang glider was stored when they heard Wan Qingliu's shout. Some of them ran so fast that they fell like rolling gourds, but they still rushed in crawling.
"hurry up!"
"Hurry up! Damn it, I'm going to shoot that red-haired devil to death..."
One glider after another was lifted out of the cabin and sent to the huge and wide deck. At this time, the Dutch fleet attacked from the front and back, with continuous artillery fire. The clipper ships on the periphery were suffering from fierce bombardment, with the hull pierced and the masts and sails destroyed, but the artillery fire that could be used to return fire was very limited, and the situation was extremely critical.
However, the treasure ship in the middle position had not yet been attacked by enemy artillery fire. Liu Zhuzi and his men hurriedly assembled the glider and hung rockets on it.
"Hurry, push!" Liu Zhuzi yelled. Two ground crew members each held a vertical pole to help Liu Zhuzi run. The wind on the sea was too strong and extremely unstable at this time, coming in gusts. Moreover, it was night and the sea was dark. Taking off in this situation was a very dangerous thing. Once you plunge into the sea, it would even be difficult to rescue you.
But who cares about so much at this time? As Wan Qingliu said, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to take a risk. Once they can fly, they will become the enemy's nightmare.
With the help of two ground crew members, Liu Zhuzi continued to accelerate and run. At this moment, a strong wind blew on his head, and the hang glider was rolled up. Liu Zhuzi was lifted three feet high, and then the hang glider stalled and fell on the deck.
Liu Zhuzi was fine. He punched the deck angrily, jumped up and yelled, "Hurry up and check! Check if the hang glider is damaged!"
Several ground crew members rushed over, held the hang glider, and checked it anxiously, "It's okay, the hang glider is fine..."
"What are you waiting for? Come again! Come again!"
Liu Zhuzi roared and rushed over, regained control of the glider, and quickly began to run. The enemy's ship guns were still roaring, and countless shells were devouring his hands and biting the Qin army's outer warships;
Be quick! This time, he must fly. Liu Zhuzi's heart was in his throat. He ran in the strong wind and almost reached the side of the ship. The sea in front was pitch black. Liu Zhuzi gritted his teeth, pushed the glider and jumped out... ...
