Daming pirates

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Oriole is Behind 3

The cannon's shells roared towards Zheng Yiguan's ship, but the shells landed in the water far away from the ship and did not pose any threat to them.

But it still startled the people on the boat. After a closer look, they discovered that there was also a Yan Siqi boat in Sea Wolf's fleet. At this time, all Zheng Mang's luck was in vain.

It is obvious that the Sea Wolf ships that came this time have reached some kind of agreement with Yan Siqi. It was Yan Siqi's men who led the Sea Wolf fleet here. Now Zheng Mang can basically confirm that they were completely trapped today.

, were fooled by Yan Siqi. These three Yan Siqi's silver boats probably didn't contain any silver at all. They were probably acting as bait to lure them over to bite the hook.

Then let the Sea Wolf fleet ambush nearby and take the opportunity to kill them.

Now Zheng Mang was confused. What should I say? The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind! That's right. This time they were fooled. When Zheng Mang thought of this, he was shocked and angry, and immediately ordered his men to make peace.

The Seawolf fleet prepares for a decisive battle.

Yu Xiaotian originally wanted to hear what Zheng Yiguan and his subordinates had to say, but in his heart he didn't want to break up with Zheng Yiguan right away. Since he broke through them today, it would be fine as long as he could scare them away.

Well, it would be better not to fight if possible, so as to leave an escape route with Zheng Yiguan in the future.

But he thought Chen Xun that way, but he didn't think so. Chen Xun was not his subordinate. He immediately rushed up and opened fire without hesitation. It was clear that he wanted to drag him into the water and force him to swim in this muddy water.

As soon as Chen Xun fired the cannon, it was equivalent to a declaration of war. Because Chen Xun came with him, it meant that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

Yu Xiaotian had no choice but to raise the red battle flag and signal the fleet to prepare for battle. This battle would be impossible if it were not fought.

Since he wanted to fight, Yu Xiaotian put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart. He can't be blamed for today's incident. It was Zheng Yiguan who wanted to take the money away from his mouth, so this was tantamount to wanting to fight.

Once you break up with him, there is nothing wrong with him taking action.

According to the Sea Wolf's historical combat principles, as long as you start a battle with people at sea, you must gain the upper hand. This has become the most basic combat principle of the Sea Wolf navy.

The eight sea wolf ships, under the command of Yu Xiaotian's handsome ship, immediately turned the wild goose formation into a longitudinal formation. They were already in the upper hand, so it was too easy to seize the upper hand, so they immediately headed towards Zheng Mang's

The fleet rushed forward, seized the T-front position, and focused their firepower on the enemy ship closest to them first.

If Seawolf's fleet does not take action, it means that if they decide to fight, they will never show mercy. It is no longer possible to negotiate a solution today, so there is no choice but to fight.

All Sea Wolf's ships faithfully carried out Yu Xiaotian's orders, quickly changed into a vertical formation, and rushed towards Zheng Yiguan's fleet diagonally upwind.

When Zheng Mang saw the Sea Wolf fleet, he opened his stance and rushed towards them, so he yelled: "Brothers, don't be afraid of them, beat them hard, let them see how powerful we are."

!”

The distance between the two sides narrowed quickly. The ships led by Zheng Mang all used a group formation, that is, all the ships were hugged into a group. This way they were not easily separated by others. Relatively speaking, after a fight, it was more stable, but

The shortcomings are also obvious, as it cannot effectively utilize the firepower of all ships.

However, this shortcoming is nothing to them. The firepower of their fleet is very limited. Each ship is equipped with one or two cannons, and some ships even have no cannons. Naturally, there is no way to develop firepower.

Problem.

Yu Xiaotian glanced at Zheng Yiguan's ships and men on his ship. Generally speaking, he did not see any difference between Zheng Yiguan's men and ships and other counterparts. Basically, they all had the same virtue.

, he put on a cowering posture as soon as he made a move, and looked menacing, but after confronting him, all he could do was get beaten.

So Yu Xiaotian sneered and ordered: "The ship ordered each ship to concentrate its firepower on the nearest enemy ship. After passing by, immediately turn around and come back, continue to fight for the "T", and let them see what a naval battle is!"

Yu Xiaotian has not participated in such a naval battle for a long time. Now he has more and more ships and cannons, and many things no longer require him to do it himself. The unexpected encounter with this battle today made him suddenly excited, and his adrenal glands

The secretion of a large amount of hormones made him feel like before going into the boxing ring. It was very comfortable and exciting, which made him enjoy this feeling a little bit.

Sea Wolf's fleet hit Zheng Yiguan's fleet hard with a beautiful right hook. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to two or three hundred steps, Zheng Yiguan's fleet had already taken off.

There were clouds of smoke and bits of fire, and then there was a chaotic sound of gunfire and gunfire.

But at such a distance, their bombardment did not pose much of a threat to the Sea Wolf fleet. At most, a few cannons could fly into the Sea Wolf fleet, and at most they could fire a few hits on the Sea Wolf's sails.

A small hole is not a problem at all for the sea wolf.

This situation of firing before the effective distance is common among pirate groups and even the navy of this era. Cannons are not like their weapons, but more like things they use to embolden their courage. At first, this included

The Sea Wolf tribe is also guilty of such a problem. In order to get rid of the problem of the Sea Wolf tribe, Yu Xiaotian spent a lot of time in the first two years to get the Sea Wolf tribe to adapt to the current lack of effective range or

It is a rule not to fire the gun easily until you receive the order to fire it.

Regarding this, Yu Xiaotian even scorned Zheng Yiguan's subordinates, and felt much more at ease in his heart. There was no suspense in this battle, it was just to see how long these guys could hold on.

When the Sea Wolf fleet continued to close the distance with Zheng Yiguan's fleet, their fleet rowed directly in front of Zheng Yiguan's fleet in a column, and the distance between the two sides was close to about 150 steps.

At that time, Sea Wolf's fleet began to fire one after another.

Starting from the first ship, all Sea Wolf ships aimed their broadsides at Zheng Yiguan's fleet when they entered the closest distance, and all the cannons that could fire on the broadsides began firing in sequence.

Suddenly, a series of continuous gunshots were heard on the sea. The twelve-pounder cannon, the twelve-pounder cannon, and the six-pounder cannon fired one after another, hitting Zheng Yiguan's ship on the side of the ship.

This kind of bombardment was continuous and uninterrupted. It started from the first Sea Wolf warship passing in front of them and ended when the last ship passed Zheng Yiguan's fleet. It lasted for more than ten minutes. The sound of cannons

It never stopped.

After the first wave of attacks by the Sea Wolf fleet is over, look at the ships led by Zheng Mang, especially the three or four ships at the front. It will be a disaster. This round of shelling by the Sea Wolf fleet,

They were all concentrated on their ship, and various artillery shells had already hit a very high level at a distance of less than 200 meters.

The hit rate immediately hit these three or four ships, causing their rafts and oars to collapse, and debris flying everywhere. The pirates on the ship were even beaten to pieces by the cannonballs. In the blink of an eye, two ships were hit and began to sink.

As it continued, the two other boats that were hit began to take on water, and they lost the ability to continue fighting.

Zheng Mang's ship was in the fleet and was not the focus of the first round of attacks. When he saw that Sea Wolf's fleet was firing so sharply and abnormally, he was also frightened. He was also knowledgeable.

He vaguely felt that he had known this kind of shelling method before. When he thought about it carefully, he immediately thought that they had tried to rob three Thai fleets at sea before, and those Thai boats used this method.

Find ways to deal with them.

Three Taishi ships lined up and rushed past their fleet. The cannons on the side of the ship fired at once, breaking up the several ships they rushed up to. They were so shocked that they had to turn around and flee. Not only

Instead of getting any advantage, they were driven to pieces by three large Taishi ships and lost a lot of men.

Unexpectedly, the Sea Wolf actually used this method of warfare today. Although the cannons carried by each ship of the Sea Wolf were not as many as the cannons of the Taixi gunboats, their power was not small. This time they were stunned.

.

Originally, Zheng Mang wanted to take advantage of their similar strength to compete with Sea Wolf, but when they met, they were defeated by Sea Wolf's fleet with cannons.

This time he finally saw the sharpness of Sea Wolf's cannon. As expected, Sea Wolf's cannon was just like the legend. It hit hard and accurately, and was very powerful. Zheng Yiguan was struck by this blow.

These subordinates were all frightened, and some of them immediately retreated.

They came here to make a fortune today, not to die. Just now they besieged Yan Siqi's three ships, and the fight was relatively smooth. However, now they encountered the Sea Wolf fleet, and they were completely tortured, and they didn't even fight back.

No strength at all.

So some people immediately decided to give up and wanted to just wipe the soles of their feet with grease and be defeated.

But how can Zheng Mang let his men run away now? Although he now knows that he has encountered a tough situation and cannot win, he still can't run because he has to hold back the Sea Wolf fleet and Yan Siqi

These ships cannot be allowed to send the news to Ben Port quickly and buy some time for Zheng Yiguan to escape from Ben Port.

If they run away now, it won't take long for Sea Wolf's ships and Yan Siqi's men to return to Bengang and pass the news to Yan Siqi. If these ships of Sea Wolf are added, then Zheng Yiguan will simply

He had no chance to escape from Bengang, so he was strangled in Bengang by Yan Siqi and Sea Wolf.

This time they were trying to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Even if he knew that he was no match for Sea Wolf, he could only hold on to the end with these men and buy Zheng Yiguan some time to escape.

So Zheng Mang immediately pulled out his saber and shouted at all the ships under his command: "No one is allowed to run away. If anyone dares to escape before the battle, I will never spare him! No matter how big the world is, I, Zheng Mang, will definitely chase him to the ends of the earth."

! Come on, hold them back! Fight with them in close combat!"
