Chapter 248: A Great Gift for Elder Chu Cai

These guys immediately became a little confused and looked towards the sea one after another. At this moment, several fireballs suddenly appeared on the sea, lighting up the sea almost at once, and then they saw a sentinel ship in this continuous

Under the flash, it began to fall apart, and the mast began to fall down.

With the help of a few flashes of light at this moment, sharp-eyed people on the beach immediately saw the vague shadows of boats appearing on the sea. There seemed to be a lot of them, and they were heading towards the shore.

At this time, the guys on the shore began to panic. Of course, there were some shopkeepers among them. These guys were all human beings. They immediately understood what had happened, and each one of them immediately screamed: "Enemy attack!

The Sea Wolf fleet is coming! Get on the damn ship quickly, pull up the anchor and raise the sails! Hurry!"

Chu Cai's old men on the island were completely shocked at this moment. They lost their jobs one by one and rushed towards the sea like crazy, and scrambled to grab the small sampan parked by the sea. They scrambled to get on the sampan.

I want to rush back to my ship.

Because it was too chaotic, some people hurriedly ran towards the beach. They were crowded and bumped into each other. Someone actually overturned the rice pot, and a pot of boiling vegetable porridge was poured on the legs and feet of the two guys next to them.

, these two guys were so hot that they cried like ghosts and howled like wolves, crying for their father and mother.

The entire shore was in complete chaos now, as if a pot was boiling, because some people had already seen that the incoming enemy fleet was not far from the seaside. If they could not pull up the anchor and sail away before then,

If it's on the seaside, it's like being ridden and beaten here. Once their boat is destroyed, they can't even think about leaving, they can only stay and wait to be slaughtered.

Everyone was trying to get back to their own boat quickly, and no one could see anyone clearly in the darkness. The number of sampans was limited and there was no room for everyone to board the boat quickly. So people started to fight for the sampan, and some people were pushed off.

Some sampans were overturned by people and were stuck in the water.

Some people were desperate and couldn't get a sampan, so they simply didn't care whether the water was cold or not, and plunged into the sea and swam desperately towards their boat.

In the deep water area of ​​​​the seaside, there are more than a hundred ships of various types parked at the seaside, densely packed together, and small sampans began to shuttle people among them, transporting people to each ship.

When they docked a few days ago, it took a long time just to get off the boat, but now they can get back to the boat much faster than when they came. Some boats can't even wait for all their men to get back on the boat.

Coupled with the manpower lost in the past few days, they themselves were not sure how many people were still alive on their ship.

Seeing that the manpower was almost able to move the ship, he began to pull up the anchor and raise the sail regardless, trying to sail away from the anchorage, and first sailed to the sea to prepare for the incoming sea wolf fleet.

At this time, some people were feeling confused. They couldn't figure out how the Sea Wolf fleet could sail in groups so close to Nanyue Island in such a dark night without even hanging a lantern.

Distance, is this unscientific? How dare they do this? Aren't they afraid of collision with ships at sea?

They have a lot of sentry ships on the sea. If these sea wolf ships are lit with lanterns, their whereabouts can be discovered very early even in a night attack. But why do these sentry ships come so far to the sea?

The wolf's fleet had already approached such a close distance before discovering their existence?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, but the fact is here. The Sea Wolf fleet has indeed returned, and it appeared not far from them when they were almost unprepared.

, rushed towards them, and all they could do now was to quickly get back to the boat, quickly move the boat, and sail away from the sea. Only after the team was formed could they start fighting with others.

But skipping a level caused more trouble. Chu Cailao's fleet was docked on the shore. Due to the restrictions on the water surface, their ships were mostly crowded together and very close to each other. Only small sampans could shuttle between them. Some of them were

Although the people moved quickly and returned to their boat, the people on the surrounding boats had not returned yet and could not move to make way for them to sail away from here. They could only stare and scream anxiously, but there was no trace of them.

way.

Some ships also failed to control their sails and course in a panic after starting to move. After starting in a chaotic manner, some ships collided with each other as soon as they moved. Fortunately, their speed was not very fast, otherwise a big accident would have happened on the spot.

But even so, these ships were entangled with each other. Only a few ships moved quickly and started to move first. They slowly raised their sails and anchors, and turned around and headed towards the sea.

The sky began to light up at this time, and the dark night was torn apart by this bright light. The light returned to the sea. The morning sun began to rise in the sky, spreading the first ray of light to the sea. On the first

Under a ray of sunshine, the waves on the sea are sparkling, which is really beautiful, but no one is in the mood to appreciate this beauty.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, with shouts and shouts everywhere. The entire Houshan Bay was buzzing with people. The originally magnificent fleet was now in a mess. Each ship was trying to get out of the chaos.

Struggling out of this chaos, he sailed towards the sea.

At this time, a fleet that was far smaller than Chu Cai's old fleet was rushing towards the shore under the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Moreover, they were getting closer and closer to the seaside, already as close as two miles.

Within, and had already exchanged fire with Chu Cailao's small number of ships that were the first to react and sail out of Houshan Bay.

Each of Sea Wolf's ships has a golden wolf-head flag flying high. The wolf's head is ferocious and terrifying, exuding a sense of ferocity.

At this time, the ships at the forefront began to spit out clouds of smoke and fire, and the rumbling sound of cannons began to spread across the entire sea.

The cannonballs flew across the sea, flying towards their targets. Some of the cannonballs fell into the sea water, and some of the cannonballs accurately hit their targets, carving out holes one by one on Chu Cailao's ships.

Big hole.

Several more boats now had their sails raised, and under the cover of other boats, they rushed towards Chu Cailao's fleet that had not dispersed at the seaside at their fastest speed. These boats and other boats

The boat was obviously different. It was filled with piles of firewood and oil was poured on it.

Generally, warships would not do this in the beginning of a war. It would be like committing suicide. Once a rocket falls on their ship, these ships will immediately turn into a huge torch.

But this was the first feast that Yu Xiaotian and the others prepared for Mr. Chu Cai. These ships were selected by the Sea Wolf tribe from old ships that were close to being scrapped. Anyway, it is important for them to continue repairing and maintaining them.

It no longer made much sense, so it was chosen to be used as a fire ship.

This is also the reason why the Sea Wolf fleet would rather be a day late than to raid Chu Cai's fleet at dawn. It is to use these fireships to attack Chu Cai's fleet before it has time to escape.

They cause huge losses.

Several modified fire ships rushed towards Houshan Bay quickly. Several Chu Cailao's ships noticed their strangeness and were shocked and tried to rush up to intercept these fire ships.

However, they were quickly dispersed by the other Sea Wolf warships escorting these fireships. They either drove them away or simply disabled them with cannon fire, clearing the way for these fireships.

When these fire ships rushed out of the bay and were only a few hundred meters away from Chu Cai's old fleet, some of the limited crew members on the ship shouted loudly, and they quickly took out fire seals or fire sickles,

He lit one torch after another, raised his arms and threw the torch onto the firewood piles filled with kerosene on his ship.

Suddenly, smoke billowed out from the boats, and flames burst into flames.

The sea wolves on the ship used ropes to fix the rudder tightly, so that they could only maintain this course, and ran straight into Chu Cailao's fleet on the shore, and then began to jump in one after another.

In the cold water, they swam hard towards the nearby ship that was protecting them.

Each person also carried several sealed bamboo tubes on their backs to use as lifebuoys to prevent them from cramping and drowning due to the cold water temperature after diving.

After seeing the fire boats on fire, nearby ships approached and began to rescue the companions who were operating the fire boats from the sea, and then quickly began to turn their rudders to avoid these fire boats.

Under the horrified gazes of countless Chu Cai Lao, these fire boats and boats took advantage of the wind and continued to rush straight towards their fleet.

Some of Chu Cai's minions really couldn't wait any longer. Regardless of whether there was enough manpower on the ship, they hurriedly raised the sails and anchor like crazy, and began to move the hull, trying to avoid the impact of these fire ships.

The bows of these fire ships are covered with large iron nails as thick as a small arm. The bows are like hedgehogs. As long as they encounter other ships, they can immediately nail them firmly to other ships, making them unable to shake off.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, these fire boats rolled with blazing flames and crashed straight into the fleet of boats anchored by Chu Cai's old men at the seaside, and squeezed into the boats at several locations.

Among the team, a blazing fire began.

The billowing smoke rose into the sky and began to fill the air. From time to time, there were flames rolling in the black smoke, and you could feel the heat wave hitting your face from a long distance.

At this time, Chu Cailao's men became even more lively, and many ships that had not yet been affected started to rush into action, scrambling to escape outside the bay.

However, there were also some ships that were too close to the fireship. Under the high temperature, the people on the ship were unable to escape from the ship for a while. Their beards, eyebrows, and hair curled up as they looked at the high temperature.

The sails of the ship had begun to dry due to the scorching heat, and there was a possibility of catching fire at any time, so these people could no longer care so much, howling and jumping into the sea, swimming desperately towards the nearby ships.

go.

At this time, Sea Wolf's fleet had sealed Houshan Bay, and each ship, under the command of Ma Xiao's handsome ship, began to use various types of artillery on their ships to continuously bombard enemy ships that appeared nearby.

Dozens of Sea Wolf warships were equipped with six-pound cannons, and some ships were reinforced with twelve-pound short cannons. Although Chinese-style sailing ships like theirs cannot install too many cannons, the number of ships is here

Let's put it aside, the entire fleet has a total of nearly a hundred artillery pieces of various types, and if you include the light French cannons equipped on the ship, the number will be even more.

These ships lined up their hulls and faced the ships under Chu Cai's men rushing out of Houshan Bay. They fired continuously. The sound of the cannons was one after another, and one sound was faster than the other. The whole fleet was surrounded by

In the clouds of gunpowder smoke.
