C898 The Kunshan Battles

The Kunshan was a large American scissor boat, purchased by Prussia but actually owned by the Sino-German Foundation.

This was a classic scissor boat design with a length and width ratio of 6: 1. The long and beautiful body of the ship could easily pierce through the waves. When the speed of the ship exceeded 16 knots, one could even see the bow floating above the waves, easily cutting them apart like a pair of scissors.

This was the origin of the scissor boat, the pinnacle of the wooden sailing ship's design. If the Kunshan chose to escape, then the French battleships that were covered in iron armor would not be able to catch up to it.

But today, the Kunshan could not just leave. They had to rely on their own strength to buy time for the Main fleet to leave.

The cabin and deck were full of fleeing sailors, who were pouring barrels of kerosene into the coal-fired warehouses, and more barrels of kerosene had been cut down by axes, and the pungent liquid was running all over the cabin.

The Kunshan's cannons were the first to fire, and the six-inch rifled cannon shot out the high explosive projectile. The first shot landed on the side of the Holiness, blasting open a flower on it.

"My God! I'm not wrong, this ship has Chinese figures... The consecutive attacks were not caused by ghost ship at all, it was all caused by the Chinese people! "

As the distance between them got closer and closer, Molière finally saw clearly with his binoculars the figures of the Chinese people and the Prussian who were firing off cannons on the deck.

The industrial strength of France was not something to brag about. The heavy armor specially crafted by the Steel plant was not difficult to deal with with with these six inch small caliber naval gun. The explosion had no effect other than blackening the armor.

Molière sneered as he watched the Kunshan resist the attack from the left and right. I need a large number of prisoners of war and a confession. I need proof that the Chinese and the Prussian are colluding with each other to attack the English and French civilian merchant ship … "

"Glory, Pious Ship continue to the west … Just now, this scissor boat was definitely using a signal flare to communicate with the big fish. If it was any later, it might not be too late … "

Don't look at how Molière only brought four Sail battleship, although these four warships were defeated by the Ryukyu, their fighting strength had increased by multiple times after levelling up in the native French weapons factories, and most of the soldiers here had all been defeated in the Ryukyu, so all of them were filled with the same anger as Molière.

Two heavy cruisers recklessly attacked the Kunshan. The 120-caliber cannons at the bow of the ship were sprayed with flames, and the white sail of the Kunshan was torn into shreds. If not for the fact that Molière needed a lot of testimony to capture more prisoners, the two battleships would have exploded the wooden boat with concentrated fire.

Sun Chujian's forehead was bandaged with blood, and the bullet almost pierced his temple. By then, the Kunshan had already lost its power, and would not be able to escape even if it wanted to.

In the hands of the Ryukyu's Prime Minister, there was a spear and a command blade. The spear was a refined Colt left wheel and the blade was a retro Tang Sword made by a master craftsman. Tang Dao had already unsheathed his weapon, and the bullets had already been loaded. In the cabin behind him, a group of foreign students and Prussian soldier were waiting with rifles in their hands.

Sun Chujian stared at the two battleships that were getting closer and closer with reddened eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "You are not allowed to leave the cabin without my order. "In terms of firepower, if we fight against a large group of people and against a small group of people, it would definitely be a loss. Right now, we can only rush up close to the starboard and end the battle with the most primitive melee combat method!"

"Distribute the grenades!" Bring as much as you can... Remember to leave me a Glory last! To kill one is enough, kill two and earn one! "

Kunshan, after all, was just a scissor boat. Although they had a cannonball at the bow and tail of their ship, it was not enough to fight a professional warship.

Very quickly, all of the white sails of the Kunshan had been destroyed, and the fragmented cloth fluttered in the wind like a banner in the wind. The deck was littered with corpses, blood stains and the mess from the explosion. Other than a few wounded soldiers who were still shooting helplessly with their rifles, the Kunshan was completely disarmed.

The Holiness s and Gauls s immediately cheered as the soldiers shouted the slogan of capturing Chinese alive and prepared to board the ship. Especially the few leading officers, who had seen Sun Chujian in his official uniform and knew that he was injured. The soldiers at the side subconsciously wanted to shoot, but they were slapped to the side by French officers.

"Stop! That's a big fish, living is worth more than dying … See the knife in his hand? That's the Japanese samurai's Blade, made by hand at an extremely low production level. Ordinary officers with no background would not even be able to wear it! "

"Everyone Stop Shooting... Rush forward and capture him alive! "

Boom … "Crack, crack, crack …"

Holiness s, Gauls s and Kunshan s were currently in a three boat state. The two warships from north and south almost touched the side of the Kunshan, and the sound of wood splinters and wood splinters could be heard from far away.

The thick and heavy iron armor almost cut the wood on both sides of the Kunshan. At that moment, the Death Soldiers in the Kunshan hold up the mine tunnel and suddenly smashed the floor, causing flames to jump out from the kerosene.

"Hahaha …" It was time to die! Brothers, attack! "Fire …" Roar was the signal, Sun Chujian waved his blade and shouted to the Gauls in front of him.

"Reverse Charge!" Reverse attack! "Kill …"

"Kill …" An earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted from behind Sun Chujian. A blue tide of people rushed out from every single cabin, and the bright bayonet dazzled the French people.

"My God! The Chinese actually dared to counterattack and charge? "Where did they get the guts …" Without waiting for French officers to finish speaking, he saw more than ten smoking black lumps flying in the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! With a violent explosion, the deck of the Gauls was set ablaze as broken limbs and limbs flew everywhere.

Like a tiger, Sun Chujian leapt over the mast and rushed towards the Gauls's deck. With a flash of the blade of the sword in his right hand, arrows of blood shot into the sky. Behind him, more than seventy soldiers formed a spearhead of shining bayonets. A single assault tore through the chaotic charge of the French.

The French never thought that these Chinese soldiers and Prussian sailors were not purely naval, that many of their tactics were the same as those of the army, or even that they were elite troops in the army.

Isn't this bullying? Who would be covered in grenades in a battle on the sea? Could it be that the one with an explosive bag wrapped around his waist was the legendary Death Soldier?

There were also three small commandos and dozens of people forming the bayonet formation. Could it be the common spear formation used in the ancient era of cold weapons?

Sea battles are sea battles, why are you doing so many gaudy things!
