Daming pirates

Chapter Eight Tried and tested fire attack tactics

The mast of this official warship only heard a click, and was immediately broken by the huge kinetic energy carried by the chain bombs. Even before the sails had time to fall, the mast collapsed on the hull with a roar, and was smashed on the spot.

Two officers and soldiers on the ship died.

As soon as the mast was broken, the ship was immediately destroyed. The broken mast fell diagonally and happened to be pressed against the side and rear of their ship. The sail rope on the mast was not broken and was tightly entangled in it.

It hit the ship, causing the ship to roll, and also affected the sail on the rear mast, making it impossible to adjust and stuck in one position.

At this moment, the ship immediately lost its power and direction and started spinning on the sea. The officers and soldiers on the ship screamed and screamed one by one. However, they were unable to restore the ship's sailing ability for a while and could only watch helplessly as a thief

The bow of the ship swung towards them like a big axe.

There was another loud click. The Feizhihao clipper relied on its strong structure and adopted a collision tactic. It hit the left front of the official ship and instantly smashed the bow of the ship.

It's such a mess, it's like completely destroying the ship.

The other army warship was not much better. Although the chain bullet failed to accurately hit their mast, it easily hit their sail. The two shells dragged an iron chain and destroyed the ship in one go.

Most of the ship's two sails were torn off and torn to pieces, and the ship lost power in an instant.

Furthermore, the Sea Wolf's ship had already approached a distance of about 100 meters. At this time, with the accuracy of their artillery, there was no problem in hitting the ship. Just hearing the sea wolf's fast boat firing a salvo of cannons, it immediately hit the ship.

The officer's sentry ship was beaten to pieces, and the officers and soldiers on the ship were beaten to pieces. Although the ship would not sink in a short time, it basically lost all its resistance and could only act like a ship.

Dead fish usually float on the water.

After Feng De dealt with the two official warships, he stopped beating the drowned dogs and directly left them behind and rushed towards the dock with the other two speedboats.

Liu Yinglong's hair was about to stand on end at this time. The thieves' fleet came so fast that he had no time to let the fleet out. What frightened him even more was that most of the cannons on Sea Wolf's ships were actually red barbarians.

The cannon fired far and hard, and its firepower was actually no weaker than that of the red-haired man.

Liu Yinglong knew that he was in big trouble today. If this continues, all the warships he had here would be destroyed. Sea Wolf's goal this time was very clear. He rushed directly to Nanyue Water Village, obviously to drive away all the warships gathered here.

As a result, the Fujian government no longer had the strength to attack Nanyue Island in a short period of time.

Watching the two boats under his command, they were swatted to death by the three strange boats of the Sea Wolf outside the dock as if they were being swatted at flies. The Sea Wolf fleet continued to sail towards them, and Liu Yinglong couldn't help but feel anxious and nervous.

Angry, he became angry and immediately ordered the ships that were already moving to follow him to speed up and set sail. He would hold off these pirate ships first, allowing the warships behind to have a certain amount of time to sail out of the dock, and avoid being blocked by the thieves at the dock.

Remove from the previous pot.

Liu Yinglong can also be regarded as a tiger general in the navy at this time, and he does not lack the courage to fight. Although the generals of this era are very happy in peacetime, we have to admit that a few of them will not be able to fight when things are about to happen.

At that time, he still had considerable courage to fight to the death.

Liu Yinglong should be considered one of them. Today he gritted his teeth and decided to fight. He took a few of his men's warships that had just started to move, sailed away from the dock, and rushed towards the sea wolf's fleet on the sea, posing as if he was going to fight to the death.

The posture to stop these pirate ships.

Seeing these few official warships rushing out of the water village pier like hounds, Ma Xiao saw that one of the ships had a large flag with a Liu character hanging on it, and there was also the military flag, so he knew it was the official flag of this place.

The ship of Liu Yinglong, the commander-in-chief of the army.

"It seems that we should not underestimate this Liu Guoqi! At least he has the courage to risk everything to intercept us! I, Ma, admire this kind of person the most, but I am afraid I can only fight with him today! Someone here to pass on the order, concentrate the firepower first

beat

Liu Guoqi's ship, break them up, seal the warships in the dock and take them away!" Ma Xiao put down his telescope with a look of admiration on his face, but he did not relent because of this, and immediately issued a battle order

.

With the flags flying up and down on the hanging buckets, Sea Wolf's fleet immediately took action and fiercely pounced on several official and military warships led by Liu Yinglong who rushed out.

At this time, in the direction of Puxisuo City, the small fleet led by Cyclops had already begun to take action. Bursts of rumbling cannons came from the direction of Puxisuo City.

The entire area around the mouth of Meizhou Bay in the southern part of Pinghai Bay became completely noisy in the afternoon, with the sound of various cannons coming and going, and the sound of rolling waves reaching far and wide.

About an hour later, thick smoke rose in the sky in the direction of Nanyue Water Village, and flames were blazing on the dock of Nanyue Water Village. More than 20 navy warships were crowded on the dock and were ignited by the fire.

As it rose, the wooden hull crackled, and the blazing tongues of flames rolled into the sky in the thick smoke. As the sea breeze blew to the southeast, it enveloped a large area of ​​​​the sea and sky.

On the sea outside Nanyue Water Village, dozens of ships were intertwined, forming a melee situation. However, it could be seen that the ships flying the battle flags of the Ming Dynasty were clearly at a disadvantage and were attacked by a group of ships flying the Golden Wolf Flags.

The ship was ridden and beaten.

Although their ships were similar, the Sea Wolf had the upper hand in terms of firepower and kept firing violently at the fleeing naval warships.

Although some officers and soldiers of the naval warships also tried to resist, and tried to get close to the Sea Wolf to engage in close combat despite knowing that the cannons were inferior to humans, they were not numerically superior. Even if they could barely get close to the Sea Wolf warship,

Immediately, the cannons on the Sea Wolf ship swept across the surface of the ship with shotguns, beating the officers and soldiers to death on the deck, and blood splattered on the sea.

Some Sea Wolf warships were not afraid of close combat, and simply took the initiative to get close to the official warships. When the officers and soldiers started to fire arrows and muskets, they first used the light cannon on the ship to sweep the enemy ships, and then got close to them, filling each one with fire.

The porcelain bottles of oil smashed into these military warships, and then bursts of flames burst into flames.

Liu Yinglong led his subordinate ships to withstand Sea Wolf's fleet and desperately tried to intercept Sea Wolf's fleet, but his efforts did not have much effect.

Because he had the commander's flag and his general's flag on his ship, he was immediately targeted by Sea Wolf's fleet and became the main target of attack. Not long after the war started, his ship was riddled with holes by Sea Wolf's cannons.

, more than half of the more than 70 officers and soldiers on board were killed or injured, and water began to enter the hull.

Liu Yinglong held up a stainless steel waist knife and ran back and forth on the ship, shouting for a fierce battle, and commanding the soldiers on the ship to fire back fire. However, his efforts had no effect at all. More and more cannonballs hit his ship, causing

In less than a quarter of an hour, his ship received at least dozens of cannonballs, and the sails were torn to pieces by enemy cannonballs.

Until this time, Liu Yinglong sadly discovered that these sea wolf tribesmen were really not easy to deal with. These pirates were experienced and well-trained in combat, and their artillery fire was very accurate, and the cannon firing speed was so fast that he could not even parry.

No, let alone the ability to fight back.

A soldier covered in blood rushed to Liu Yinglong's side and cried loudly: "Sir, retreat quickly! We can't stop these pirates! If this continues, we won't even be able to get to the shore!"

Liu Yinglong was about to curse the soldier, but the soldier suddenly softened and fell at his feet. Only then did Liu Yinglong see a large amount of blood pouring out of the soldier's ribs.

It seemed like he had been hit by a bullet.

So he quickly handed the knife to his left hand and lowered his head to check the soldier. After turning him over, he found that his eyes began to turn white. He could only breathe out but not in. He looked like he was already dead.

Liu Yinglong himself was also injured in many places at this time. Fortunately, he was protected by armor and was not seriously injured. Liu Yinglong was full of backup. He looked around the dilapidated ship and saw that his ship had been hit by Sea Wolf's cannonballs.

The boat was riddled with holes, and the hull began to tilt. It was obvious that a lot of water must have entered the cabin below, so he raised his head and roared.

Not long after, Sea Wolf saw Liu Yinglong's ship begin to swerve away from the battlefield, sailed towards the seaside, rushed into a shoal, and ran aground on the shoal.

Several officers and soldiers carried one person, jumped into the shallow water from the boat, and swam and crawled towards the shore. Originally, the Sea Wolf tribe wanted to chase these people, but Ma Xiao gave the order to let them go.

Let them abandon the ship and go ashore, and concentrate their efforts to kill the remaining official and military warships.

Many officers and soldiers on the warship saw that the sea wolf was approaching, and both sides exchanged fire. They simply did not wait for everyone on the ship to arrive, and they hurriedly rocked and paddled again, trying their best to raise the ship.

The sail broke away from the berth and sailed to the sea, but as soon as it went out to sea, it was besieged by the Sea Wolf fleet.

As a result, the official and military warships were unable to organize an effective defense at all. They could only act like a group of sheep, being hunted down one by one by the sea wolves. As for the remaining warships that were still unable to move on the dock, the sea wolves naturally could not

He would let it move slowly, and several light sailing boats rushed directly to the dock. While shelling, they simply stuck up and threw the cupping cans onto the official warship, causing it to cause a fire on the ship.

At this time, the official and military ships had already loaded ammunition and were almost ready for the expedition. The gunpowder on one warship was ignited by Sea Wolf, and an explosion occurred. The entire ship was torn to pieces almost instantly, and even a sea wolf

The wolf's boat was also affected, and before it could sail away, the sails were ignited by the splashing flames.

This unlucky Sea Wolf ship had no time to put out the fire, so it quickly burst into flames. As a last resort, the more than thirty Sea Wolf tribesmen on the ship had to abandon the ship. Soon, even the gunpowder on their own ship was lost.

There was an explosion, and it was blown apart in an instant, and slowly sank into the water at the dock.

However, Sea Wolf still succeeded in igniting a fire on the dock, causing the warship to burn into a ball before it could sail out of the dock.
