Daming pirates

Before Yu Xiaotian could complete preparations for departure, the fast ship from Keelung Fort rushed back to Nanyue Island and informed Yu Xiaotian of the specific situation of the Spaniards.

The intelligence brought back by this Feihao clipper stationed in Keelung Fort is basically the same as the intelligence brought back by homing pigeons, but the details have to be improved a lot, allowing Yu Xiaotian and his generals to understand it in more detail.

The strength of the Spanish fleet.

After having this information, Yu Xiaotian was no longer anxious. The Spaniards were indeed limited in strength and did not send many ships and troops, which made them more confident.

After a period of busy work, Sea Wolf's fleet was finally ready to set off. Each ship was loaded with enough food to satisfy the crew for a month, as well as enough fresh water, and enough ammunition.

It was sufficient, but these ammunition were placed in the bottom tank below the waterline. They were taken out in batches during the war and used on the deck to avoid being hit by enemy shells in the ammunition depot and causing explosions.

Following Yu Xiaotian's order, the war drums were beaten again at the Nanyue Island Pier and the cannons were fired. The rumble of the cannons spread throughout Nanyue Island. Many people heard the sound and ran to the beach to watch the Sea Wolf Ship.

The scene of the team setting off.

This time the fleet set off, Yu Xiaotian did not do anything to hide it. Sea Wolf now has enough strength to show to his subjects. In the past two years, Sea Wolf has used one victory after another to let the people of Nanyue Island

Residents and businessmen have become more and more trusting of them. When the Sea Wolf began to gather a few days ago, most of them heard that the Sea Wolf was going out to fight with people again this time.

But this time, the residents of the island are no longer panicked and at a loss as before when they heard that the sea wolf was going to attack people. Now they have considerable confidence in the combat power of the sea wolf, and more people are talking about it.

The discussion was not about what to do if Sea Wolf lost the battle, but about how many prisoners Sea Wolf would capture this time and how many enemy ships it would capture.

Moreover, among many residents on the island, some of their children have already entered the military system of Sea Wolf to serve. Although these people are worried about their children, they have also received more preferential treatment from Sea Wolf for this.

Any direct military dependents of Sea Wolf will be given special preferential treatment. The land tax will be halved. Younger children in the family can still go to Sea Wolf's school. Moreover, even if their children are killed or injured, as long as they are for

If Sea Wolf is killed or injured in the line of duty, Sea Wolf will give their families a large pension, and will also assume part of the support obligations.

For those who are disabled on duty and unable to continue serving in the military, Seawolf will not abandon them. They will retire from active service and be given generous pensions. In addition, they will be arranged to do some things within their capabilities to ensure that they will not

Because after being disabled and losing the ability to work, they were abandoned and starved to death.

These measures are much better than those of peers and even the government. Seawolf personnel are carefully treated when they are injured. If they die, they can be buried with honor in the Seawolf Martyrs Cemetery. They will even be buried in the Seawolf Martyrs Cemetery.

In the Martyrs' Shrine, a memorial tablet is dedicated to them, and someone specially burns incense and keeps up the fireworks for these "martyrs".

Yu Xiaotian's arrangement not only greatly increased the loyalty of the Sea Wolf tribe, but also relieved them of their worries. It also made many immigrants completely determined to tie up the Sea Wolf's chariot and follow the Sea Wolf.

Let's prosper together and suffer together!

So when the people on the island heard that the Sea Wolf fleet was about to set off again, they rushed to the dock or the shore to see off the sailing fleet from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian, also wearing a linen singlet, stood on the two-masted clipper that served as the command ship, reviewing the fleet under his command.

Dozens of ships of different sizes began to sound their horns and weigh anchor one by one according to the flag order issued by the handsome ship. A group of sampans responsible for pulling large ships away from the shore approached and dragged the cables. With the efforts of the sailors,

With oars and oars, the big ship is slowly towed away from the dock or berth and sent to the mouth of the bay until they raise the sail, start to take advantage of the wind, and move out of the bay.

Dozens of ships were neatly arranged in the bay. From left to right, they sailed out of the pier one by one and entered the wide sea. The sea wolf flag was flying high in the fleet. Although there were only a few dozen ships, they were

It still gave people a strong sense of shock.

Yu Xiaotian took a long, deep breath and cast his gaze on the sea in the distance. The sunlight reflected the sparkling waves on the sea. The fleet blended into this beautiful scenery, which made him quite emotional.

This is another challenge, but he believes that he can still win again, because he now has a team that is good at fighting, and there are not many people on the sea who can stop his progress.

Anthony's forehead was covered with black lines, and he was helped up from the deck in embarrassment. Even his telescope was thrown somewhere.

A cannonball hit the side of his ship heavily, causing sawdust to fly out of the side of the ship. It almost sent the fleet commander Anthony, who was standing on the stern commanding the battle, to see his God. Fortunately, Anthony had God.

Fortunately, a sailor next to him was shot to pieces by a cannonball, and he himself was unscathed except for the blood splattered all over him.

But Anthony's mood has reached the extreme. He never imagined that this group of Chinese pirates actually possess such strong firepower. This has never been seen before. This kind of firepower, even if it is placed in Europe, is absolutely unstoppable.

It can't be considered bad.

This group of Chinese pirates occupying Jilong Bay are as stubborn as a stone. No matter how they demonstrate or threaten, this group of Chinese pirates will never give up the bay.

After leading the fleet to blockade Jilong Bay, he blocked all the Sea Wolf ships in the bay, ordered the fleet to line up outside the bay, opened all the gun doors on the side of the ship, and made a threatening move.

As a gesture, they once again sent people in small boats to Peace Island to persuade the Sea Wolf tribe to surrender. They could ensure the safety of the Sea Wolf tribe and agreed to let them leave here with their ships and supplies.

However, such persuasion to surrender still had no effect. Instead, the sent interpreter was insulted by the leader of the Sea Wolf. He threatened that if the interpreter dared to talk nonsense again, his ears would be cut off, and he told the interpreter that they, the Sea Wolf, would never

We won't give up this place, let Anthony use it if he has the ability. As long as they dare to attack Jilong Bay, they must look good.

The interpreter returned to the fleet and told Anthony what Blackhead had said. The Spanish officers in the fleet were very angry and felt that these damn dirty Chinese pirates were really ignorant of current affairs and must use strong methods to make them

They saw the determination of their Spaniards.

Until this time, the Spaniards still held a contemptuous attitude toward the Chinese pirates. They felt that with their strength, they only needed to fire a few rounds of volleys at the Chinese pirates, and then they should surrender in utter disgrace, and then

Get out of here.

Anthony did not despise the enemy in front of him like his officers did, because he carefully observed the various defense facilities set up by the Chinese pirates in Jilong Bay, and he felt worried, because after careful observation,

I feel that this group of Chinese pirates is very different from their other counterparts.

The architectural form here is basically not like a Chinese-style fortress, but very much like a European-style bastion structure. If others don't know this, how can he not know that the bastion-structured fortress is extremely strong and extremely difficult to destroy with ordinary artillery?

, it is not as simple as the Chinese forts in the past. Just a few shots will destroy a section, and then it can be slaughtered at will.

And observing several forts here, he also found that the forts built by this group of Chinese pirates were cleverly set up to form firepower with each other. They just happened to firmly block the mouth of Jilong Bay, and their main fortress was in the bay.

, it is completely out of reach of artillery fire on the sea, which shows that this group of Chinese pirates had anticipated in advance that they might be attacked and built complete defenses here.

Although the number of ships and artillery he brought this time was not small, but even so, it was not necessarily easy to conquer this place and drive these Chinese pirates out of Jilong Bay.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is no longer possible to resolve the matter through negotiation. And they want to get a good port in Taipei where they can attack and retreat, but other than here, they really can't find a suitable place.

Moreover, there is a group of Chinese pirates who have fallen out with them here, which will not be a good thing for them in the future, so no matter what he thinks, they must conquer this Jilong Bay.

So after thinking about it, Anthony thought that although this group of Chinese pirates had built relatively complete defenses, they probably didn't have many cannons, and they were unlikely to have heavy cannons. Therefore, relying on the powerful firepower of their fleet, if they were to attack

If they just give it a try, they might be able to suppress these pirates and make them retreat and finally give up here.

Finally, under Antony's order, the Spanish fleet began to attack Jilong Bay five days after they arrived here.

A line of Spanish ships spread out outside Jilong Bay, forming a column and blocking the mouth of Jilong Bay. The gun doors were opened with a bang, and the loaded cannons were pushed to the gun doors one by one.

, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns, pointing at several forts at the mouth of the bay.

As the command flag on the Antonine ship changed, the flagship of the Antonine ship started to fire first. On their ship, there were two artillery decks arranged on the upper and lower floors, carrying more than 30 artillery pieces of various types, most of which exceeded

It had a twelve-pounder cannon, which had quite a lot of firepower.

Although this ship is not considered a powerful one among European sail warships, and it is not even ranked as a second-class ship, but here in Asia, it is definitely a ruthless character.

I saw the ship spit out streams of flames from front to back from the side of the ship, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up. The gunpowder smoke immediately enveloped one side of the ship, and then a series of explosions were heard on the sea.

Roar.
