Daming pirates

When Chen Jiu led his men back to Shuangfeng Island, they didn't see much fire on Shuangfeng Island. The thick smoke that came out was just the ruins of some burned houses, which were still smoking.

It had just rained here, and most of the burning houses had been extinguished, leaving only the swaying logs and thick smoke.

Satisfied, Yu Xiaotian returned to his boat, gave an order to set sail, and sailed away from Shuangfeng Island. At this time, Dazhai on Shuangfeng Island was in a state of ruin.

More than twenty Sea Wolf ships formed a column, drew an arc on the sea, and met the approaching Hunjiang Dragon fleet.

There was nothing left for the two sides to continue talking about at this time. The enemies were extremely jealous when they met each other. Everyone stared at their opponents and began to work on the boat.

The artillery pieces were loaded one by one and pushed to the side of the ship. The torches were lit. Bundles of rockets were also placed beside the side of the ship. Crossbows and muskets were all fired.

They were held in the hands of the sailors on both sides, and only after they got close, they threw these things towards each other.

Chen Jiu's eyes were red, his lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were staring straight at the oncoming sea wolf fleet. At this moment, it could be said that he was completely despairing. He had already roughly guessed where his lair was.

situation.

At this time, there were no people on the island, only the ruined walls were still emitting thick smoke. The island was completely silent, and the life and death of those who stayed in the village was unknown.

But he knew that his old nest was over, and all the accumulation he had accumulated in the village over the years was over. Now he only had these men and ships following him, and opposite him was the culprit who caused him to become the current predicament.

.

He reached out and grabbed the stainless steel sword at his waist that had been with him for many years, pressed the spring, and with a click, the blade popped out of the scabbard. Then he grabbed the handle and slowly pulled it out.

.

"Brothers! Either I die today or someone named Yu dies! Kill me! Kill them all!" Chen Jiu suddenly burst out with a loud roar, raised the steel knife in his hand high above his head, and fought hard

It made a false attack on the Sea Wolf fleet approaching from the opposite side.

Hun Jianglong's subordinates also roared. Although their morale was low on the way back and everyone was anxious, but now when they saw that their lair had been burned to the ground by the sea wolf, such a scene aroused their hearts.

The last bit of courage.

The cry of killing resounded throughout the sea east of Shuangfeng Island, and the two fleets rushed towards each other like two groups of bloodthirsty sharks.

"Give me the order to move forward in column, keep a distance of 200 steps from them, and pass by the starboard side of their ship array! Do not let them come up! The captains of each ship can choose the target and fire freely!" Yu Xiaotian stood on his ship of the Sea Wolf.

On the poop, there was a draped piece painted bright red.

A very exquisitely crafted double-layered leather armor. The outer layer of leather armor is made of fine rawhide, and the inner layer of leather armor is made of softened whale skin. This makes the leather armor not only very thick, but also comfortable to wear.

It's more comfortable, but it's a bit too hot to wear this outfit in this weather.

Yu Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to issue orders.

The Sea Wolf was in the middle of the fleet. While hoisting the order flag on its upper deck, it also began to wave the small flag in its hand vigorously. Yu Xiaotian's order was conveyed in the form of flag language.

The leader of the fleet was Wang Hong's boat. After receiving the order, he slightly adjusted the course. The other ships followed closely, adjusting the course and adjusting the sails with their hands, so that their boats were exposed to the crosswind.

, began to accelerate towards Hun Jianglong's fleet.

The imitation six-pound cannons were pushed to the gun port on the side of the ship one after another, with the muzzles pointing to the right side of their ship, ready to fire at any time.

Nowadays, although the Sea Wolf's ships have not completely replaced all the old guns, the main warships are equipped with two to three six-pound cannons, and the other lower-level warships are equipped with at least one.

Imitation of a six-pounder.

As for Yu Xiaotian's ship, after strengthening the hull structure, a newly cast twelve-pounder gun was installed on each of the bow and stern parts.

These two cannons were newly cast by the gunsmith in a hurry. After they were just cast, they were immediately installed on his ship by Yu Xiaotian after the cannon test. When attacking Shuangfeng Village this time, these two cannons showed their full potential.

It was very effective. He directly bombarded Shuangfeng Village near the shore and successfully broke the wall of Shuangfeng Village, allowing his men to invade the village and finally capture it.

Therefore, these two cannons can be said to be funeral salutes specially prepared for Chen Jiu. Today, he wants to let Chen Jiu know what a cannon is. From now on, he will establish his authority in this area and let the young people around him avoid him in the future.

Just follow him away, Sea Wolf, to save him the trouble of having nothing to do all day long.

Now he is anxious to go to Jilongwan and Tamsui River, but in order to make money, he has to deal with Chen Jiu here. For this reason, Yu Xiaotian can be said to be very anxious, but he can't make the trip, so Yu Xiaotian treats Chen Jiu the same way.

He also hated it very much, wishing he could just crush the cockroach to death with one hand and go about his business.

It's almost June, and the news coming back from Penghu has shown that the Ming Dynasty government has already taken full advantage. The Dutch retreat to the top is already in front of them. If he doesn't hurry up,

, if he can’t handle this Taiwanese dish, he won’t have a share!

Today is also the first time he tested his column tactics. Although his ship is not a Western-style warship, now that he has an imitation six-pounder cannon and this imitation twelve-pounder cannon, he can also try this linear array.

The power of.

That's why after he learned that Hun Jianglong had returned, he led his men to create this formation on the sea.

However, Hun Jianglong still used the old method of gathering his fleet together, intending to use his fists to knock the sea wolves to the ground in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, there are advantages and disadvantages. In short, Hun Jianglong's tactics can be said to be outdated. He can't use the firepower on his ship at all, and can only be beaten passively.

Regarding this point, Yu Xiaotian was fully confident, so he was also confident and was not at all afraid of these ships that were rushing towards him.

The two fleets finally got close to about 300 meters. Sea Wolf's linear array opened straight and cut straight to the right side of Hunjianglong's fleet, but it did not directly penetrate into Hunjianglong's fleet and engage in a melee with them.

The moment Wang Hong, as the guide ship, arrived at the right side of the Hunjianglong fleet, he ordered the gunner on the ship to fine-tune the muzzle, and locked the target of the bombardment on the Hunjianglong's ship closest to his position, and shouted at the same time

A cry: "Fire!"

Wang Hong's ship is a handsome ship in the fleet, so the equipment is naturally better than ordinary ships. All his ships are equipped with three six-pound guns, and the muzzles of the guns are all pointed to the starboard side. The distance between the two sides is about 200 meters.

Left and right is exactly the best distance for the six-pounder to exert its firepower. Of course, if it can be closer, the power and accuracy will definitely be higher. However, two hundred meters is still a distance for this long-barreled six-pounder.

The accuracy can already be quite guaranteed.

The three cannons were fired one after another from the bow to the stern of the ship, and only three violent "boom, boom, boom" sounds were heard. In the blink of an eye, they looked at the boat under the Hun Jianglong closest to them.

Three big holes were actually made, and sawdust flew everywhere on the boat, causing a cry of exclamation.

After Wang Hong took the lead in firing, his ship continued to move forward, and the gunners on the ship quickly began to clean and reload the artillery. These gunners had nothing to do every day. What they had to do was to operate these artillery repeatedly, conduct loading training and

Aiming training and reloading are now extremely familiar to them. Several people cooperate with each other. As soon as one tool is pulled out of the barrel, another tool is already loaded into the barrel.

As soon as the procedure of clearing the barrel was completed, someone had already filled the medicine package into the muzzle, and then someone quickly sent the medicine package to the bottom of the barrel, filled the shells into the barrel, and tamped it slightly, and then the gun tail

Someone had already pierced the medicine bag from the fire door and poured the primer into the fire door.

The artillery was then quickly pulled by the gunners on the rope fixed to the side of the ship, pulling the small four-wheeled gun cart and pulled it to the gun port on the side of the ship. After a slight adjustment, it was ready to aim and can be fired again.

.

The speed at which these people reloaded can be said to be dazzling and dizzying. It felt like flying. It was very enjoyable to watch. In less than half a minute, they completed the reloading and moved the artillery.

Ready to launch again.

Then they set their sights on the next ship, and following Wang Hong's order, they started firing again...

All the Sea Wolf ships filed behind Wang Hong's ship. After each ship entered the firing position, they immediately aimed at the Hun Jianglong ship closest to them and started firing.

Although some ships only had one six-pounder gun, there were many of them. When twenty ships passed by the right side of the Hunjianglong fleet, they would immediately start firing cannons to bombard the enemy.

This was a bitter experience for Hun Jianglong and his men. This was the first time they had tasted the Sea Wolf's new tactics and their new artillery.

When a confrontation passed, the ships closest to the Sea Wolf were all bombarded by the Sea Wolf, and the bombardment was uninterrupted. As soon as each ship passed by, the next ship entered the position again, and began

Then shelled.

Therefore, the minions on the boat of the Hunjianglong did not have any chance to fight back. They only felt that the sea wolf's shells were like rain, splashing towards them.
