Daming pirates

The sailors continued to work hard to replace the foresail, but everyone else got into the fighting position. Several of the cannons on the ship were loaded again and pushed in front of the gun doors. The muzzles pointed outboard and began to aim.

He caught the approaching ships of Chu Cai Lao.

Each flintlock gun was also loaded and placed next to the side of the ship, ready for use at any time. Hand grenades were also taken out one by one, and the leads were pulled out from the wax-sealed lids, ready for ignition at any time.

.

The few remaining incendiary bottles on the ship were also taken out of the cabin and placed on the deck of the ship. However, these incendiary bottles will no longer be thrown onto the enemy's ship, but will be used as a last resort weapon against them.

On this own boat.

Lin Shouche ordered that once they ran out of ammunition and food, the last remaining people would ignite these incendiary bottles and throw them on their boat, completely burning the boat. Even if they died, they would never burn the boat.

The ship was left to the enemy.

This sloop is the top secret of Sea Wolf so far. The structure and construction method of the hull are kept secret. Even ordinary Sea Wolf tribesmen are not allowed to board without permission.

Otherwise, such a ship will face severe punishment.

So before these people set off, they had been told by Yu Xiaotian that once they encountered a situation where they could not escape, at the last moment, they must use gunpowder or kerosene to completely destroy their ship, and they must not leave it alone.

enemy.

Now the people on the boat are ready to completely implement Yu Xiaotian's order. They are just waiting to set the boat on fire at the last moment of the battle. They also left a barrel of gunpowder at the bottom of the boat, waiting for the last moment.

It was ignited at any time, and the bottom of the ship was blown apart, causing the ship to sink into the sea.

Everyone pursed their lips tightly and silently looked at the approaching enemy ships. However, their cannons never fired, and they watched helplessly as the enemy ships approached them.

When Lin Shouche last checked the ammunition inventory on the ship, he already knew that their ship was almost out of ammunition and food. Each gun had less than two rounds of ammunition left, and only the small Folan cannon on the deck still had a few muskets.

At this time, all the empty muskets had been thrown into the sea by the sailors. They would rather destroy the things than leave them to Chu Cai to grow old.

A soldier bent down and picked up the short-barreled South Japanese flintlock gun from the side of the ship. He opened the mechanism, knelt on the deck, placed the barrel at the perforation hole on the side of the ship, and began to carefully penetrate the gun.

Through the firing holes, suitable targets were found on the enemy ship.

The two fast enemy ships were now only fifty meters away from them. If it were normal times, they would have fired their cannons and started bombarding these enemy ships, but now they were still in Lin Shouche's

Under the order, he remained silent and quietly waited for the enemy ship to get closer.

Each soldier held a flintlock rifle and used the rear sight and front sight to trap an enemy on the other side's ship, but they did not fire because they knew that the distance of fifty meters would be too much for the flintlock rifles in their hands.

Although it is within the effective range, it cannot ensure accurate hitting of the enemy.

Therefore, with limited ammunition, they would rather put the enemy closer before hitting them. The sea suddenly fell into a weird silence.

Chu Cai Lao's subordinates were a little surprised by the performance of this "ghost ship". They thought that this ghost ship would have been angry with them long ago, but they didn't expect it when they were forced to such a close distance.

, the ghost ship with damaged sails still had not fired a single shot.

So some of Mr. Chu Cai's men became aggressive, and someone suddenly shouted: "Haha! The ghost guys on that 'ghost ship' were so scared that they peed! I guess they also knew that they couldn't run away today.

, I’m planning on surrendering!”

Some people also guessed what was going on on Lin Shouche's boat, and laughed and shouted: "They must be out of ammunition on the boat! Haha! How can they be so rampant now! Brothers, they have nothing to do now! Haha!"

The captain who was leading the boat roughly guessed the dilemma facing this "ghost ship" at this time. He walked to the side of the ship carelessly, looked at Lin Shouche's boat with his hands on his hips, and shouted to his minions:

"Brothers, don't be afraid of them anymore! I guess they have run out of ammunition now! Let's see what else they can do! Let's catch this one alive! When we go back, Shopkeeper Xiao has spoken first, and he will definitely be rewarded heavily.

!

Let’s give them a few cannons first to let them taste our power, and we’ll save them a lot of money later! Come on, fire some cannons! Give them a few hits!”

As soon as his screams subsided, the three cannons on his ship were fired, and there were three booms, and then the chaotic cannons flew towards Lin Shouche's ship.

Various cannons swept across the hull of the Sea Wolf ship like rain, making the hull crackle everywhere, but their shelling was like an itch to this sturdy ship, and at most it was a scare.

Just to scare people.

However, the Sea Wolf tribe on the ship were basically hiding on the side of the ship or in the cabin at the moment. Only Lin Shouche stood upright at the stern of the ship, coldly looking at the approaching enemy ships.

When several sailors who were repairing the sail saw the bombardment, they immediately fell on the deck without being injured. As soon as the bombardment was over, they immediately got up and repaired the sail.

The helmsman shouted: "Captain Lin, you'd better hide for a while!"

Lin Shouche shook his head and said: "Stand your rudder and don't worry about me. I'm sorry they can't do anything to me! All of them are here! Let them get closer before we talk!"

The soldiers lying on the side of the ship fired their flintlock rifles and turned to look at Lin Shouche. They all admired the captain who had not been leading them for a long time, so they all calmed down and started taking aim again.

The speed of the enemy ship rushing over was not too slow, and soon it was close to a distance of thirty meters. For such a distance on the sea, it was basically considered very close.

It was only then that Lin Shouche shouted loudly: "Fire!"

The entire ship from front to back, after hearing Lin Shouche's roar, suddenly turned into a fire-breathing dragon. Starting from the bow, to the sides and even the stern, all the artillery and muskets started firing.

The hull of the ship suddenly shook violently under the recoil of the artillery. The flames ejected from the muzzle licked the sea surface and rushed a long way away. Smoke immediately filled the surroundings of the entire ship.

Large and small smoke of gunpowder rose from all over the ship. Looking at the two enemy ships rushing over, it was as if they were suddenly hit by a stick. The bow of one of the ships was being hit by the twelve-pound cannon on the bow.

Got it straight.

At such a close distance, the huge energy carried by the twelve-pounder cannon shells ripped open the bow of the ship like tearing window paper. The entire bow was immediately punched with a large hole the size of a bathtub, and the shells were in

After tearing open the bow of the ship, it did not consume the energy carried by the light and continued to fly forward. Then it penetrated the partitions in the two-layer hull and almost completely destroyed the third layer of partitions.

It was as if the ship suddenly hit a rock while it was speeding. The hull shook violently, and a large amount of seawater poured directly into the hull from the cracked bow, hitting old Chu Cai's men on the ship.

They were all shocked, and there was a cry of surprise on the boat.

"***, this ghost ship still has cannons! Who the hell just said they were out of ammunition? Get back!" Some of the minions were lying on the ship, shouting in colorless horror.

Lin Shouche clenched his fist and suddenly raised his arm, laughing and shouting: "What a great fight! Haha! This boat has almost half a life left! Keep fighting!"

Even though the power of these ten flintlock guns is very inconspicuous compared to the cannons, at a distance of thirty meters, their accuracy advantage can be fully exerted, and these soldiers have been aiming for a long time, one by one.

They are all on target, and once they fire, they cannot be underestimated.

And what could be the best target? It was the captain of the enemy ship who was standing on the ship yelling just now, and two soldiers aimed at that guy almost at the same time.

After firing, the guy let out a strange cry and disappeared from the side of the ship in the blink of an eye. Not long after, someone on the enemy ship was heard shouting: "Captain Liu has been killed! Liu is dead!"

The captain of the boat was beaten to death!..."

Moreover, when the volley of muskets was fired, the man named Liu was not the only one who suffered the same misfortune. At the same time, there were three or four men who were shot and knocked down. This time, the two boats that were forced up were destroyed.

He covered his head and turned around, which actually forced them to turn quickly and try to avoid them, but they were a little afraid to come forward again.

However, such a blow was just a flashback to the Sea Wolf tribe, because after they completed this round of strikes, the ammunition for the artillery on the ship was running low. The remaining ammunition was not even enough for all the artillery to fire again.

A volley was completed.

There were only three rounds of ammunition left for the six-pounder gun, and only one round of ammunition for the 12-pounder gun. In the absence of timely supplies, this was also the reason for their predicament today.

When he saw that his cannon had no ammunition, the gunner turned around without saying a word and climbed onto the deck, grabbed his knife and gun, and the remaining gunner who had ammunition immediately started loading for the last time.

The sudden counterattack of this sea wolf ship blinded several Chu Cai Lao's ships that were surrounding them. They all unconsciously slowed down their approach, for fear that this ghost ship would show its power again and make them the next enemy.

A victim, and the ship with a big hole in its bow was now sinking due to a large amount of water entering the front of the ship, and it basically lost the ability to continue participating in the operation.

In just a short time, Chu Cailao lost two more boats. The boat that initially tried to intercept the three sea wolf boats was too seriously injured and now completed the task of intercepting the last sea wolf boat.

Later, too much water entered the hull, causing it to roll over. Now it was lying on its belly on the sea, revealing its mottled bottom covered with sea creatures.

The minions on the boat had already jumped into the sea and were desperately swimming towards the nearby friendly ships.

(Emergency enteritis comes fiercely, but it goes away quickly. I feel good today. Thanks to the two brothers Nanbo Wang and Hululu for the reward!)
