Daming pirates

Shopkeeper Xiao is actually a larger leader of Mr. Chu Cai's subordinates. He mainly operates in the Zhangzhou Bay area. Chu Cai's subordinates in this area usually have to obey his orders.

Mr. Chu Cai was a cruel man, and the punishments he meted out to his subordinates were very cruel, ranging from whipping to severe amputation of limbs and noses. He even punished some who disobeyed orders by lighting sky lanterns, having their muscles cramped, and skinning them.

These gangsters who were assigned to work on the fast oar boat were told when they came out that once they found traces of the ghost ship, they were ordered to rush forward and hold them back first, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, and they were not allowed to escape.

Several large boats fought for time to surround them.

So now if they are afraid of death and refuse to come forward, once this battle is over, Shopkeeper Xiao will definitely torture them.

Under such coercion, these gangsters did not dare to give up their lives, so they cheered up again, rowed the oars with all their strength, and speeded up again to surround the boats of the three sea wolves.

At this time, the wind force on the sea still has not changed much, and the three sea wolf speedboats have never been able to take advantage of their fastest speed. Although a round of gunfire just blocked the speeding boats that rushed over, in the next short time

Within a few days, they would reload and reset the naval guns.

Taking advantage of this opportunity of about a minute, several fast-paddle boats came close to them again. At this time, the distance between the two sides was already within a hundred steps, and the minions on the several fast-paddle boats also started firing.

Just listening to the sound of a few cannons, clouds of black smoke suddenly rose up from several fast oar boats. This shows that there is a problem with their gunpowder ratio, and the raw materials of the gunpowder are not pure enough, which will affect the gunpowder to a certain extent.

The power of.

Several cannonballs immediately flew out of their cannon barrels and hit Sea Wolf's ship. Unfortunately, they were nervous. Firstly, the quality of the cannons was too poor and the accuracy was not very good. Secondly, because of the misjudgment of the distance, several cannonballs

Basically, they couldn't reach Sea Wolf's ship, and they didn't cause any damage to Sea Wolf's three ships.

Luo Xianbin laughed wildly and cursed: "With their virtues, they still want to stop us? Brothers, do they have the ability?"

The Sea Wolf tribe members on the ship all laughed and cursed together: "Just them? Let them feed the bastard!..."

After the fight actually started, these sea wolf tribesmen who had been fighting for a long time became calmer. Instead of intensifying the tension, it actually became a little relieved. One by one, Luo Xianbin and their captain or

Encouraged by the leaders, their warlike side emerged.

The round-up and chase on the sea continued. The three sea wolf clippers always stuck together tightly, maintaining their zigzag formation and never dispersed.

The fast paddle boats that had gathered around them were getting closer and closer to them at this time. Chu Cai Lao's men on the boat were yelling and rowing hard, trying to get close to these three ghost boats that they hated so much.

At this time, the sea was filled with the sound of cannons and cannons, and more and more fast paddle boats rushed over to join the siege of the three sea wolf boats.

At this time, the three speedboats led by Luo Xianbin began to feel the pressure. After the distance was shortened, the artillery on the enemy's speedboats began to pose a certain threat to them.

Some cannons continued to hit their ship, making the hull crackle, and some of the cannons penetrated their sails, causing more damage to their sails.

But fortunately, when these sloops were built, in order to withstand the recoil of the ship's artillery, the hulls used dense ribs and thick hardwood boards. Facing the attack of such small-caliber enemy artillery, the hulls

Basically, there was no damage. At most, it was just a hole made by the shells, and the enemy shells fell into the sea water. Old Chu Cai's men were so angry that they screamed, but there was nothing they could do.

On the contrary, their dispersion posed a certain threat to the personnel on the Sea Wolf ship. One of them was hiding accidentally, and was hit in the waist by the cannon. He immediately screamed and fell to the board of the ship, with pain all over the floor.

It started rolling.

After seeing their own side begin to suffer casualties, the Sea Wolf tribe on the three ships, instead of being frightened, became braver. They stayed out together for nearly two months. The sailors on the ship lived in cramped conditions every day.

In the cabin, they were already close to each other like brothers. Once they saw their brother injured, their eyes immediately turned red.

The gunners frantically operated their artillery and started free fire. As soon as they completed loading, they immediately dragged the gun mount back to the gun port, and struggled to adjust the gun mount and barrel to find a suitable target to attack.

After the distance between the two sides was shortened, the accuracy of Sea Wolf's gunners also improved. After the sound of cannons, the fast paddle boats that surrounded them were even more unlucky. One after another, they were destroyed or swept past, which made

Those subordinates of Mr. Chu Cai suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, the powder and grape bullets showed great power, which made Chu Cai's old men who tried to besiege them miserable.

At this time, more and more Chu Cailao's boats took advantage of this opportunity and began to surround them. However, these fast paddle boats failed to really drag the three sea wolf speed boats. The three sea wolf speed boats were still there.

Steadily break out towards the edge of the encirclement.

At this time, the lucky boat in the distance suddenly flew up with several loudspeakers. It was obvious that the boat must be the boat where the leader of these guys was, and it was their handsome boat.

At this moment, the so-called shopkeeper Xiao, who was headed by him, issued a new order again.

The fast paddle boats that had surrounded them became even more crazy after seeing the rising guns, and began to surround the three Sea Wolf boats regardless of life or death.

After the minions on the ship got closer, they frantically fired at the three clippers with their bows, arrows, firecrackers and cannons.

Two paddle boats even rushed directly to the sea wolf's speed boat behind them, threw out a few iron hooks, hooked the sea wolf's speed boat, and tried to drag them to climb on them.

of ship deck.

The situation suddenly became more tense. These fast paddle boats were like locusts and very difficult to deal with. Although Sea Wolf's three boats had a strong firepower advantage, they could not withstand the large number of people and boats, so they gradually got closer.

Come up.

"Brothers, give them a good beating! They rely solely on human power to paddle, they won't last long! As long as we hold on for a little longer, they won't have the strength to catch up with us!

Release the oar! Speed ​​up! Let's get rid of them!" At this time, Luo Xianbin involuntarily pulled out his sword, raised it above his head and roared loudly.

He is very aware of the weaknesses of these fast paddle boats. Although they are very prosperous now, after all, the power of these fast paddle boats must be provided by manpower. Human strength is always limited. As long as they block them for a while, these Chu

Cai Lao's men will naturally be exhausted, and they will naturally slow down when the time comes, and they can get rid of these annoying guys like maggots on the tarsal bones.

At this time, three large oars were immediately protruded from the stern of the three sea wolves' clippers. Under the shaking of the sailors, they began to provide more power to the ship, causing the ship to speed up a bit.

Moreover, the Sea Wolf tribesmen on the ship also knew very well that if they did not work hard to break out of the siege today, the fate waiting for them would be very miserable, so when they saw more and more enemy ships approaching, the soldiers on the ship

The husband and the sailors were all playing with their lives.

Because the distance was too close, the six-pounder cannon and the twelve-pounder cannon on the ship had already entered the blind spot of their shooting because of the enemy ship. They could no longer bombard them, so the gunners immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.

The upper decks all joined in the boarding battle.

However, the four small Fran cannons on the deck are now beginning to show their power. Because of their small recoil, these small Fran cannons are fixed on the pillars on the side of the deck, and can be fired at large angles by manual operation.

, rather like the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns used on ships in later generations. The shooting angle is very large, so their power can be fully exerted.

Moreover, the biggest advantage of the Fran cannon is that it has a very fast rate of fire. Every time the breech-mounted blunderbuss is fired, you only need to knock out the empty blunderbuss after firing, and install the new blunderbuss into the tail of the mother blunderbuss.

The next launch can be carried out immediately.

The small Fran cannons equipped on each ship became active at this moment, and one shot after another aimed at the fast paddle boats that were approaching.

Don't underestimate these small Fran cannons. Although their guns are not loaded with much gunpowder and don't have many shotguns, their accuracy at close range is still quite good. The gunners who were doing this are now risking their lives.

, one by one struggled to grab the tail boom of the gun, leaned forward, and took aim. I can't say that they could hit a fast paddle boat with every shot, but at least the hit rate was quite impressive.

After the shotguns fly out, you can often hear screams from the enemy ships immediately. The enemies who were hit often fell into the seawater with blood all over their bodies, and the seawater was dyed red in the blink of an eye.

Some soldiers who were gunners just now stepped on the deck and immediately grabbed the flintlock rifles placed on the side of the deck. They began to pick up the flintlock rifles, leaned over the side of the ship and aimed at the enemies below. There were sounds from all the ships.

There was a series of gunshots like exploding beans.

Looking at those Chu Cai Lao's men who had gathered around them, they were suffering very heavy casualties. Under the sea wolf's shelling and volley fire, many of them fell into the water and became innocent souls in the sea.

But even so, these Chu Cai Lao's men still seemed to be crazy and refused to retreat. They continued to rush up with their boats, shouting wildly, trying to drag the three sea wolves' boats.

At this time, the naval battle basically entered the most brutal boarding battle. More and more fast paddle boats came up, and more and more rope hooks were thrown on the Sea Wolf's ship, and the hooks were hung on the side of the ship or other

place.

Once the rope hook caught Sea Wolf's ship, Chu Cai's old men immediately cheered and shouted, grabbing the ropes, and began to try to climb onto Sea Wolf's ship.

At this time, the sailors on the Sea Wolf ship had to draw their swords or hatchets one after another, and struggled to chop down the rope hooks hanging on their ship or the enemies who climbed onto their ship. The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat at the side of the ship.

People who were stabbed or hacked by swords and guns kept screaming and falling into the seawater, struggling helplessly in the seawater and calling for help. However, at this time, no one had time to pay attention to them, and they could only let them swim in the seawater.

It whined and whined, and gradually submerged into the water, becoming a sacrifice to the sea.
