Daming pirates

Although some of Chu Cailao's ships were lucky enough to get out of the bay, they ran into the Sea Wolf fleet head-on and became the target of the Sea Wolf fleet. Some of the less sturdy ships were hit head-on by cannonballs.

Immediately afterwards, the beaten rafts and oars fell over, and some were ignited and began to burn.

On the sea surface in the Houshan Bay area, in just a short while, several broken boats floated across the sea. These boats were riddled with holes after being bombarded by Sea Wolf's cannons. Some boats were seriously flooded and had already been damaged.

It began to sink slowly, and some ships rolled seriously and dumped directly on the sea.

More Chu Cailao's ships panicked and escaped from the fire scene in the bay, trying to break out of the bay. These ships had completely lost their unified dispatch and command, and became scattered and fighting independently.

It cannot be said that Mr. Chu Cai's men are all idiots. After all, these guys are old pirates, and there are many desperadoes among them. The leaders on some ships saw that the war was not going well, but they did not escape immediately, but fucked them.

The ship began to rush towards the Sea Wolf fleet, trying to drive away the Sea Wolf fleet and engage in a melee with them, or approach them and engage in a boarding battle.

But after all, they were fighting on their own, with no one to command them. Such an assault did not have much effect on the Sea Wolf fleet, which had effective command. The Sea Wolf fleet had an absolute firepower advantage, and large and small cannons opened fire at the same time.

These Chu Cai Lao's men were so shocked that they couldn't get close.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the sun had already jumped high above the sea level. Houshan Bay now turned into a huge fire scene. Dozens of Chu Cailao's ships were unable to weigh anchor in time and left the anchorage.

, several fireships from Sea Wolf rushed into the fleet anchorage, causing a violent fire.

Ships in this era were all made of wood. Although the hull was always relatively humid in the sea, it could not withstand the scorching flames. After the ships near the fire scene were roasted by the flames for a while, the high temperature quickly ignited the fire on them.

The sails and hull of the ship turned into fireballs.

The more ships on fire, the higher the temperature of the fire scene. What follows is a chain reaction. More and more ships are gradually set on fire one after another because the temperature nearby is too high. At this time, there is wind blowing on the sea, and the fire

Taking advantage of the wind, the fire becomes smaller and bigger, and spreads faster and faster.

Later, many of Chu Cailao's men saw that it was too late to escape by boating, so they simply abandoned the ship and fled. They jumped into the sea to escape, and swam desperately to the nearby boats that were already moving for help.

Chu Cai Lao's subordinates belong to different shopkeepers. Although they have always obeyed Chu Cai Lao's orders, they still work on their own terms and rarely cooperate with each other. At this time, the Sea Wolf fleet blocked them and beat them wildly.

Who dares to stop and save people!

Even if they watched someone swimming up to their boat, they would not stop the boat to help. At most, they would just throw down a few ropes. If they were lucky enough to catch the person in the water, they would be dragged aboard. Otherwise, they would not be able to catch them.

Then wish yourself good luck!

Some diving gangsters were desperately calling for help in the sea, but no one paid attention to them. So they saw that the water temperature was too cold and they would get cramps after soaking in the water for a long time. They had to give up in order to survive.

Ask your companions for help, turn around and swim towards the shore.

This was good, some people had just swam onto their boat, but now they swam back to the shore again, their lips were blue from the cold, and immediately they hugged each other and became the leader of the group.

This time, his sudden attack on the Sea Wolf fleet could be said to be completely beyond the expectations of Chu Cai's old men. They unknowingly never expected that the Sea Wolf fleet could actually break through the enemy they spread nearby.

The network woven by the sentry boats, God is not

Without even realizing it, he touched the front of their eyelids, and as soon as it dawned, he began to attack them violently, leaving them no time to react and deal with it, and they were just blocked.

On the shore, he was beaten hard.

The reason why Chu Cai's old subordinates were beaten so badly was not because they were all idiots or cowards. It was mainly because they had not expected it at all. In addition, the shopkeepers here did not form mutual understanding when something happened.

Coordination and command, everyone was in a panic to grab the ship and go to sea. There was no unified dispatch and command at all. They were fighting on their own, so they were beaten so badly by the Sea Wolf fleet.

And just after the Sea Wolf fleet suddenly launched a surprise attack, the members of the Sea Wolf fleet became much happier. This attack was very successful, almost according to their original drill plan.

, copied their original idea, and encountered no decent resistance at all, allowing them to beat the enemy here like a living target.

The gloom that hung over everyone's minds was swept away. After launching the attack, the gunners on each ship were firing wildly and happily. Although firing is a standard physical job, no one felt it at this moment.

Exhausted, the work was so intense that some people were even covered in sweat. They couldn't bear the heat, so they simply took off their clothes and started doing it bare-chested.

After each cannon was fired, the gunners did not make any pause, and immediately started frantically clearing the barrel, charging, and reloading... Finally, they pushed the cannon back to the gun door and started firing again.

Just when Sea Wolf suddenly launched a surprise attack on Chu Cai Lao's fleet gathered in Houshan Bay, the ships led by Chu Cai Lao himself also encountered trouble in the northern bay of Sea Wolf Dazhai.

Just when Chu Cailao was trying to lead his men to attack Hailang Dazhai from the north, and the two sides had begun to exchange fire, the sky began to lighten up, and suddenly they heard something like a boiling pot over Houshan Bay.

There was a burst of gunfire, and when they saw flashes of artillery fire appearing in the sky over there like lightning, everyone, including Mr. Chu Cai, was suddenly shocked.

This kind of shelling speed and intensity was something they had never seen before. They could confirm almost immediately that this was by no means a shelling that their fleet could organize. Moreover, the attack on the island had not yet started, and there was no reason to fire indiscriminately.

, this is definitely not their people firing the cannon, so there is only one possibility left for such a dense cannon fire, and that is that there was a sudden attack by the Sea Wolf fleet over there.

Chu Cailao's scalp went numb all of a sudden, and he almost fell down on the deck on the spot. He knew that he was in for a big deal today, and he made a lot of calculations, but in the end he was calculated by this person named Yu...

Chapter 250: Fighting

Listening to the rumbles of cannons coming from the sea to the west, watching the flashes of artillery fire and the raging fires on the sea, Chu Cailao felt that everything was burning inside.

He knew that he had been completely plotted by Sea Wolf this time. This Yu Xiaotian could be said to be extremely insidious. In fact, the man named Yu did not fall into his trap at all. On the surface, he scattered his fleet. In fact, this man named Yu did not fall into his trap at all.

Yu did not disband the fleet at all, but hid it in a place he didn't know, and was always ready to give him a fatal blow from behind.

This person named Yu is so courageous that he has never seen in his life. He has been doing this business for so long and has never encountered such an opponent. The opponent's fleet can actually pass through him quietly and in the dark.

The cordon of the sentry ship on the sea touched his back without saying a word.

Moreover, he and his men did not notice their presence until the other party touched their backs, so the other party took advantage of the dawn and began to strike them with thunderous blows.

This is also the ruthlessness of Sea Wolf. The time and method they chose were too cunning, and they didn't even give him any time to prepare.

He couldn't figure out how the other party managed to keep the fleet in formation in such a dark night without hanging lanterns, without them running around randomly, and then suddenly killed them.

But whether he could figure it out or not, the Sea Wolf fleet still managed to do this, making their raid seem so sudden that once they started, Mr. Chu Cai and his men didn't even have any time to prepare.

No.

Moreover, after he discovered that the western fleet was being attacked, he also discovered a small fleet rushing towards his back. At this time, the sky had begun to brighten, and he had already dimmed the shape of the opponent's ship.

The space can be seen.

When he saw the soft sails hung by the first few ships, Mr. Chu Cai felt shocked. Although he had never seen this kind of miraculous ghost ship passed down by his men, today in the morning light

In the light, when he saw this kind of ship for the first time, he immediately recognized it as the ghost ship that his men were talking about.

When Mr. Chu Cai recognized these ghost ships, he had to marvel at the beauty of these ships. The lines of these ghost ships were smooth, the hulls were simple and capable, and there was no sense of sloppiness. They gave people the feeling of

It looks like an unsheathed sword. When people see it for the first time, they will naturally feel that it must be very fast.

And today these ghost ships really showed their speed. Several ghost ships rode the wind and waves and shot towards them like a few arrows. It didn't take long.

He rushed to a short distance behind them, began to adjust the course, and lined up the ship's side to aim at Chu Cailao's ships crowded at the mouth of the bay.

Mr. Chu Cai couldn't care less about admiring these beautiful ships at this time. He immediately realized what he should do now, so he quickly ordered to stop attacking the stronghold, turned all the ships' bows to protrude from the bay, and rushed west to rescue the victims.

Try to reduce the losses to those of your own ships that are attacked by surprise.

At the same time, Chu Cailao also quickly ordered his fleet to prepare to challenge the ghost ships of the sea wolves that had rushed over, trying to use their temporary numerical advantage to kill these ghost ships first.

So Chu Cailao's men, who were already panicking, hurriedly turned the rudder and adjusted the sails, and drove the ships out of the bay one after another, facing the ghost ships rushing over. The minions on the ship started to panic even more

They loaded the cannons on their ships, picked up their crossbows, lit the rockets, and prepared to beat up these ghost ships.

But how could Luo Xianbin give them a chance to get close? Looking at the messy Chu Cai Lao's fleet, he showed a hint of confidence and a sarcastic smile as usual on his lips, and ordered: "Keep a distance of two hundred steps."

, each ship slows down, bombards these bastards with cannons, rushes over and immediately turns back, then beats them up! Don't let these bastards get close!"

His order was quickly passed on in the form of semaphores, and the ships following him immediately began to reply. Each ship still maintained a column formation, lined up in a row, slowed down the ship slightly, turned sideways, and

One side of the ship's side was aimed at the enemy ships rushing out of the mouth of the bay in a mess.

Just after the two sides came within 300 steps, and the ketch headed by Luo Xianbin began to fire the first cannon, the sides of each ship immediately began to spray out streams of flames. In an instant,

A series of gunshots resounded across the sea in this area.

Although the displacement of these ketch and sloop is not large, the advantages of the hull structure are destined to enable them to carry more and heavier artillery than ordinary Chinese sailing ships. Even the artillery carried by the light sloop is

It is also much larger than the average large fortune ship.

Although there were only five clippers, nearly twenty six-pound cannons and twelve-pound cannons could be concentrated on one side of the ship and fired at the same time. In just a moment, these nearly twenty cannons were swarming towards them.

The ships coming over from Chu Cai Lao fired a bunch of cannonballs.

These cannonballs have considerable accuracy against targets the size of ships at a distance of less than 300 paces. Pieces of debris immediately flew up from the boats of the fastest running Chu Cai's men.

, followed by a burst of exclamations.

Chu Cai's old face looked as if it had been kicked several times at this moment. It was as ugly as it was. He saw that the enemy was not far away in front of him, but his men couldn't reach him, so he could only be slapped in the face.

He was beaten severely, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, he understood why his subordinates who had encountered these ghost ships were deeply afraid of these ghost ships.

These ghost ships have powerful firepower. They are equipped with large and small red barbarian cannons. They can fire far and accurately. They can use artillery to wreak havoc on his ships from a distance where they can fight back without having to worry about being attacked.

to take revenge.

No wonder a few ghost ships turned his territory upside down within two months, killing so many of his ships and men one after another, and finally managed to set up an ambush. After paying a huge price, they finally

They just left a boat.

This kind of ship is indeed powerful and difficult to deal with! Mr. Chu Cai lamented in his heart, his eyes full of envy and resentment, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing these ghost ships beating his men, his own ships could only be beaten but unable to fight back. Mr. Chu Cai had no choice but to focus on this at the moment.

On top of several ghost ships.

Although these ghost ships are powerful, they are not many in number after all. He has been sure of this. Otherwise, Yu Hailang only needs dozens of such ghost ships to clean up his fleet. Now he only needs to

The acquisition of these ghost ships shows that they do not have many such ghost ships in their hands.

Therefore, these ghost ships can only play a diversionary role for them, but they cannot completely influence the situation of the battle. The most critical thing for him right now is to lead the fleet back to Houshan Bay to prepare for the main force of the sea wolf that is being attacked.

The fleet of men attacked by the fleet was rescued.

Chu Cai Lao immediately ordered the drums and trumpets to be beaten, and ordered his ships to ignore these ghost ships for the time being. After grabbing out of the bay, he immediately rushed back to Houshan Bay where they set out last night to dock for the remaining ones.

Our own fleet in Houshan Bay rescued the siege.

His men were all veterans, and of course they understood what was critical at this moment, so they continued to rush out of the bay despite the bombardment of several sea wolf clippers. Without making any stop outside the bay, they immediately began to turn around.

He adjusted the rudder and sail and headed west, making up his mind to get back to Houshan Bay first.

And Luo Xianbin didn't get too entangled with them. After a burst of shelling with a few clippers under his command, he sailed past Chu Cai's old fleet. However, after they passed the mouth of the bay and separated from the opponent's fleet, they immediately began to

Taking advantage of the wind, we turned around and drove back from the west again.

At this time, more than ten other Sea Wolf ships led by Liu Yidao, who was slower, also caught up and stopped Chu Cailao's fleet. There was not much difference between the ships of the two sides, but the firepower of Sea Wolf's ship

The team has a clear advantage.

On the ships of these more than ten sea wolves, although some of the light ships are still equipped with ordinary old-style artillery, the slightly larger ships are equipped with six-pound guns. They still have a great advantage in the firepower of a single ship.

.

As soon as the two sides met and said nothing, they immediately fought together. More than a dozen sea wolf ships were like hungry wolves, and they immediately bitten the ships of these trapped animals like old Chu Cai's men.

Sea Wolf's ship took the lead first, and before the opponent could fire, it fired a row of cannons at Chu Cai Lao's fleet. The shells fell on Chu Cai Lao's fleet one after another, but such a level of bombardment

It only scratched the surface, but did not completely disrupt the opponent. The two sides kept moving in the opposite direction, and soon they were close to each other.

At this time, Chu Cai's old men finally got a chance to fight back. Immediately, each ship began to fire their cannons at random, using the cannons on their ships to bombard Sea Wolf's ship.

All kinds of random cannonballs rained down on Sea Wolf's ship, making crackling noises on the hull, and the sails were immediately riddled with holes.

However, the men on the Sea Wolf's ship did not show any weakness at this time. Various types of artillery continued to fire one after another and fought back desperately. The hulls of both sides were damaged, but the damage was not serious. Relatively speaking, Chu Cailao's ship's

The damage was greater than that of the Sea Wolf ship.

Liu Yidao stood neatly on the stern of a fortune ship, closely observing the situation at sea. His fleet was relatively weak, while Chu Cailao's fleet now had at least dozens of ships. He could only delay the opponent for a while.

, but couldn't defeat the opponent, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "I'll stick to them and entangle them! We can't let them pass!"

The more than ten ships he brought with him immediately adjusted their course after receiving the order and rushed towards the enemy head-on.
