Daming pirates

One hundred and ninety eighth chapter long overdue

As more Chu Cailao's ships arrived, the small fleet led by Liu Yidao finally began to fall into a hard battle and gradually began to be surrounded by the opponent. Although they had technical advantages, they

At this time, this technical advantage has been suppressed by the opponent's numerical advantage, and it is just a slight advantage.

Although Yu Xiaotian opened his golden finger and created a Western-style artillery made by the iron mold casting method, this kind of artillery is only on the same technical platform as the Hongyi cannon of this era, and it does not surpass the old-style artillery.

The number of artillery guns does not completely create any technological generation gap.

If he comes up with breech-mounted rifled artillery now, even old guys like mountain cannons and some explosive grenades can destroy these old Chu Cai's ships with only a very small number of artillery.

Damn it, it doesn't take a few doors to destroy all Chu Cai Lao's ships.

However, the technology of this era has limited him from tinkering with such a weapon that is seriously ahead of his time. He can only temporarily stop at this kind of front-loading smoothbore cannon. Although this has given him a great advantage, this advantage

It has not really become something that can influence the situation of the battle, it just allows him to take advantage of it.

Therefore, when the number of enemies reaches a certain level, their technical advantages can no longer continue to influence the situation on the battlefield.

Looking at the boats of Mr. Chu Cai that were surrounded from all sides, Liu Yidao looked into the distance and cursed: "***, why doesn't Luo Xianbin show up? No, if you don't leave, we'll probably leave.

It won’t fall anymore!”

After saying these words, Liu Yidao gave the order helplessly, and the entire fleet began to turn around and withdraw from the battlefield, giving up continuing to resist Chu Cailao's fleet.

The Sea Wolf ships under his command immediately began to turn their rudders collectively after receiving the order, and once again fired concentrated fire at the surrounding enemy ships.

Two boats of Chu Cailao's men who were eager to show off became the victims this time. They were beaten to pieces by random cannons on the spot. The mast of one boat was broken on the spot and a hole was cut in the hull. The other boat was even more damaged.

Unfortunately, it disintegrated directly in the water and broke into two pieces. It was not long before it was plunged into the water, bubbling and sinking. There was only a piece of rotten wood left on the sea and some people struggling desperately in the water.

Swimming guys.

Chu Cailao's men were startled by the fierce gunfire from Sea Wolf, and instinctively paused, allowing Liu Yidao to lead his ships to rush out smoothly, although in the end two small boats were still damaged due to sail damage.

Although they were damaged and failed to break out together, they could be considered to have taken enough advantage today and showed the prestige of the Sea Wolf.

Just as Chu Cailao's men were raising their sails and speeding up, trying to catch up with Liu Yidao's fleet in order to avenge their revenge, a series of fierce cannon shots were heard behind them.

These Chu Cailao's ships were like a hornet's nest, and chaos suddenly broke out. The upper bucket on the mast of Liu Yidao's ship suddenly put down the monocular telescope in his hand, pointed behind him and shouted loudly to Liu Yidao below:

"Deputy management team! The Feizihao Clippers detachment did not know when to kill them! Those guys are in trouble now! Haha! Look!"

After hearing this, Liu Yidao immediately turned around and ran to the stern of the ship, picked up the telescope in his hand, and brought it close to his eyes. He began to stretch the tube of the telescope to adjust the focus. Soon the scene in the eyepiece began to become clearer, and only a few soft sails were visible.

The "Fei" clipper, led by a two-masted schooner, fought out from behind Chu Cai Lao's fleet like a hungry tiger.

These flying-shaped clippers penetrated diagonally from their backs into them, and maintained a high speed. These flying-shaped clipping ships relied on their thick skin and thick flesh to fire wildly along the way.

They carried the cannonballs and arrows fired from Chu Cai Lao's ships on both wings, and used all types of artillery on their ships to blast those Chu Cai Lao's ships that were overtaking them along the way without stopping at all.

The weapons of these Feizhao clippers are much stronger than those of ordinary Chinese ships. The single-masted ships are all equipped with six-pound guns, and although the two-masted ship is not a big ship, it is only a mere three-mast ship.

The ship was about 100 tons in size, with a displacement of less than 200 tons, but its armament was quite powerful. Yu Xiaotian spared no expense in loading it with as many artillery pieces as possible, cramming them into both sides of the cabin on the lower main deck.

Six 12-pound short guns, four six-pound guns on the upper deck, a 12-pound long gun on the bow, and a 12-pound short gun on the stern. The whole ship has a total of 12 cannons.

Looking at the Chinese ships of this era, the firepower it possesses exceeds the firepower of all Chinese warships of this era.

Therefore, the firepower of this two-masted schooner in this era, let alone those large Western-style galenic ships, is very powerful when compared with Chinese-style warships.

This ship is equipped with more than 80 crew members, more than half of whom are gunners. Each gun has two full-time gunners. During wartime, other idle personnel on the ship are assigned to these guns and serve as auxiliary gunners.

During this period, Luo Xianbin was assigned to serve as the steward of the Feizi Clipper detachment, and led the newly launched ketch and four other sloops full-time at sea for training. In just over a month, he

He basically mastered the basic functions of this two-masted schooner, and at the same time trained the sailors on this ship into a group of fierce guys (originally! This group of sailors themselves were selected from the fleet)

The elites are all good with a little training!).

Luo Xianbin had been gearing up with his detachment members for a long time, just waiting for Chu Cai Lao to attack. Since they were ambushed on Kinmen Island last time and lost a Feizhao clipper and dozens of brothers, Luo Xianbin used this as his excuse.

He was so ashamed that he gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge on Chu Cai Lao and let Chu Cai Lao taste the power of their famous Clippers detachment again.

This time Chu Cai Lao's invasion finally provided Luo Xianbin with an opportunity for revenge. These days, with his Feizi Hao Clippers detachment, he volunteered to patrol from the southern part of Nanyue Island to the outer sea of ​​Meizhou Bay, using them

The advantage of the ship's fast speed provides Nanyue Island with more time for early warning.

Last night, Feng De rushed back to Nanyue Island to report the news on his order, so that Nanyue Island could prepare for the battle overnight. Luo Xianbin was not idle during the period before dawn. He took several of the detachment with him.

The ship continued to patrol the southern part of Nanyue Island, and successively killed several vanguard ships sent by Chu Cai's old men to explore the way.

In front of these flying fast boats, these Chu Cai Lao's fast boats are just a piece of food. Once discovered by Luo Xianbin and others, they didn't even have a chance to escape, and they were killed like melons and vegetables.

Two enemy ships were captured on the spot. Luo Xianbin was cruel this time. In order to prevent Chu Cai's old men on the captured ships from resisting, he directly tied them into rice dumplings and threw them into the cabin. He also sealed the cabin with large iron nails and arranged a small number of

The two ships were sailed to Treasure Island by hand.

But at dawn, they encountered some trouble. They ran into a few boats owned by Chu Cai and started fighting with them. For Luo Xianbin and others, cleaning up these boats was not a big deal.

, but unexpectedly, one of the ships in his detachment was busy, and suddenly there was a problem with the transmission mechanism of the steering wheel, causing the ship's rudder to malfunction, and suddenly it broke away from the fleet and started spinning on the sea.

This unexpected incident shocked Luo Xianbin. In order to protect the malfunctioning ship, he had to kill two of the enemy ships, then gave up chasing the remaining enemy ships and covered the ship for repairs. This also caused a lot of delays.

time.

The helmsman and fleet carpenters of the troubled ship frantically carried out emergency repairs. Finally, it took half an hour to repair the problem and restore the ship's maneuverability. Luo Xianbin then led the Clippers detachment.

He rushed to Nanyue Waterway to meet Liu Yidao.

This is also the reason why they arrived late, but they finally arrived at the critical moment. Liu Yidao was leading his team to leave the battlefield, and the enemy fleet was also chasing them. At this time, Luo Xianbin led his team

The fleet quickly fought out from behind Chu Cai Lao's fleet, catching Chu Cai Lao's men off guard.

However, due to their delay, they also lost the opportunity to attack their opponents from both sides with Liu Yidao, so Luo Xianbin had to order a change of plan, relying on their speed advantage to directly attack Chu Cailao's fleet from behind, and no longer have a wide area with them.

Love fighting in the waters.

Therefore, as soon as they appeared, they quickly entered the enemy's formation in column formation, giving full play to the firepower of the artillery arranged on both sides of the ship, and bombarded the enemy ships that overtook them along the way.

Their sudden appearance also completely ended the idea of ​​Chu Cai's fleet to pursue Liu Yidao's fleet. Dozens of ships were like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and the nest immediately exploded.

Some of Mr. Chu Cai's subordinates had encountered this kind of flying fast boats and knew how powerful they were. As soon as they saw them coming out from behind, they immediately exclaimed: "Ghost ship! Ghost ship."

Here it comes! God! These are all ghost ships!..."

Because Chu Cai’s old men suffered so much from these ghost ships some time ago that they claimed that the power of ghost ships was miraculous. They could not explain why these ghost ships ran so fast and were so resistant to being built.

So they put a layer of mystery on these ghost ships. Some people later even rumored that Sea Wolf invited mages to do magic for them and asked ghosts and gods to possess them, which made these ghost ships so powerful.

This kind of rumor spread from ten to ten, and the more it spread, the more evil it became, so much so that these ghost ships were later said to have almost become divine ships. Basically, Chu Cai's old subordinates had heard various versions of ghost ships.

Legend has it that almost everyone nowadays is afraid of this kind of ghost ship.

So when Luo Xianbin and others appeared behind them and rushed into their fleet at high speed, these old Chu Cai's men were immediately pissed off. They could hardly think of resisting and even forgot that their numbers were far away.

There were many more ghost ships than these. Some ships couldn't even think of resisting, so they quickly turned the helm and fled, suddenly turning into a mess.

Some ships were running too fast and in a panic, collided with friendly ships. The big ship collided with the small ship, and the collision was accurate. A lucky ship even hit a bird ship and flipped it over and held it in the sea water.

And Luo Xianbin led his team to rush in and smashed the fleet of old Chu Cai's men into chaos. He also took the opportunity to damage several enemy ships and destroy one. In addition, the collision accident that occurred in their own panic,

In one fell swoop, this group of Chu Cai Lao's men were beaten into pieces.

(Wow, the monthly tickets were not enough yesterday! There were only two! Please, if any brother has a monthly ticket, please help to keep it!)
