Daming pirates

Chapter 117: Here Comes the Boss

A few black iron lumps were thrown over and hit the rocks where the Spanish soldiers were hiding. There was a roaring explosion, which immediately knocked the Spanish soldiers hiding inside off their feet, and many others were immediately killed.

Exploded to the ground, in the end, in order to survive, these Spaniards finally put down their so-called pride, yelled and threw away the swords and guns in their hands, stood up and demanded surrender.

Fortunately, the interpreter among them was not killed, but was only scratched by a grenade shrapnel. The interpreter shouted: "We surrender! Stop shooting! Stop fighting! We all surrender..."

At daybreak, the battle on Heping Island was completely over. After counting, during this day and night, the sea wolves killed more than 120 enemy soldiers on Heping Island, and also captured more than 80 Spanish soldiers alive.

Soldiers include both infantry and sailors.

Only a handful of people jumped into the sea at night and swam away from Heping Island without being caught or beaten to death. However, these few who escaped by swimming had no chance to return to their anchorage, because they had to land nearby, and once they

When the time comes to land, you will still have to fall into the hands of Sea Wolf's patrol officers on the shore.

On the morning of the third day, two Spanish sailing ships appeared outside Jilong Bay again, but this time they did not attack the fort immediately, but wandered on the sea for a while, and finally did not find their ships on Heping Island.

Someone sent a signal, so after wandering around for a while, they knew that the soldiers trapped on the island yesterday were all gone, so they had to turn around and return to their anchorage.

Anthony decided not to try to attack Jilong Bay directly from the sea. These three forts were as solid as rocks. They could not destroy them easily, and their ammunition was not enough to support them to completely destroy those forts, so

He decided to take the land route to capture Jilong Bay.

Moreover, they have sent people along the shore to start looking for a road leading to Jilong Bay. However, so far, they have not found a passage that can enter Jilong Bay from the back and attack the sea wolf in Jilong Bay.

's castle.

Launching a land attack is really a last resort, because land battles are no easier than naval battles. Even if they find a passage into Jilong Bay that can be passed by people, they can only rely on lightly armed infantry.

, it is not possible to conquer a strong fortress. You must carry cannons and enough ammunition to make it possible.

In a place like this, it is not easy to find a passage that can lead to Jilong Bay, even a narrow path, let alone allow them to carry cannons.

Therefore, Anthony's plan is to first send people into Jilong Bay from behind, capture a fort from behind, and then open a channel for ships to break into the bay. Then use naval guns to bombard the fort from the blind spot of the fort until the fort is destroyed.

It’s time to talk about attacking the enemy’s castle.

No one dares to say how sure this plan will be implemented, because they know nothing about the current situation on land. Whether it will work or not, they can only give it a try before saying.

So some infantrymen who came with the ship were unloaded on the shore and began to walk along the coastline towards Jilong Bay, while the fleet was driving slowly along the shore, where they could provide infantry on land at any time.

some help.

But as soon as their plan started to be implemented, it quickly came to a halt. The reason is very simple: Sea Wolf's large fleet is coming!

Yu Xiaotian used his telescope to see the Spanish fleet appearing on the sea in the distance. This was the first time he had seen so many Western-style sailing ships in this time and space.

As a senior ship model enthusiast, he would have been very excited if it were not for this situation. So far, he has never personally touched such a Western-style sailing ship. He has dreamed of being able to board a large sailing ship countless times.

Such a large sailing ship, let's take a thorough look inside and out to see how this Galenic ship is built.

Although he has built more than a dozen sloops and a ketch now, these ships are not pure Western-style sailing ships, but have the appearance of Western-style ships, and the construction techniques are all Chinese-style construction techniques, so

He very much hopes to obtain a real Western-style sailboat as a real object, observe and figure out their construction methods and craftsmanship, and learn some useful experience from it.

But today it is a pity that such a fleet of Western-style ships is his enemy, and a strong enemy. Next, he will face them directly and have a big showdown with them.

As for the outcome of this naval battle, he is not skeptical, because he is confident of winning this naval battle, because he has made sufficient preparations for this, but how much will it cost to win this victory?

That's what he cares about most right now.

The weather at sea during this period is still relatively beautiful, and it has not yet entered the period of frequent typhoons, so the overall sea conditions are relatively good and suitable for combat.

When they appeared outside Jilong Bay, the lookout post set up on the mountain peak to the west of Jilong Bay spotted them and immediately notified the Sea Wolf tribe in Keelung Fort.

As soon as Heitou heard the news that a large number of Sea Wolf ships had arrived, he immediately jumped up with excitement, took all the combatable ships in Jilong Bay, sailed out of Jilong Bay, and met the enemy from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian's fleet.

Yu Xiaotian led his troops to arrive faster than he thought. Originally, he thought that it would take at least ten days for Yu Xiaotian to receive the news, assemble troops and ships, and prepare for war.

A bit longer, as long as you can get here within half a month, it's pretty good.

But in fact, it only took Yu Xiaotian seven days to complete the assembly of the fleet, the replenishment of supplies, and the preparations for combat deployment, and he personally led the fleet to Jilong Bay.

This time, Hei Tou was more confident. He took the entire patrol ship left behind in Keelung Fort, caught Yu Xiaotian's fleet, boarded Yu Xiaotian's ship, and kept the whole situation of the war between them and Spain in the past two days.

I told Xiaotian again.

Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the performance of Heitou and the others. These guys did much better here than he thought. He originally thought that it would be good if they could defend Jilong Bay under the Spanish attack, but

Unexpectedly, these guys not only defended Jilong Bay, but also captured dozens of Spanish prisoners, killing and wounding many Spaniards.

This is probably enough for the Spaniards to drink a pot of. This standard is that stealing a chicken makes a loss, and they have done a money-losing business. Next, it will be up to them to continue to deal with the rest of the Spanish fleet.

Yu Xiaotian did not allow the fleet to enter Jilong Bay to take a rest, but directly ordered the fleet to enter combat status and make all battle preparations.

As the conch horn on his flagship sounded, each ship hoisted a red battle flag and blew a sharp whistle. All the Sea Wolf tribesmen in the fleet immediately began to rush to their respective ships.

battle position.

The side gun doors of each ship were opened with a bang, revealing the cannons behind the gun doors. The pumps, buckets and sandbags for fire extinguishing were in place. The soldiers and gunners took out their armor one after another, and the shells were taken out from the lower cabin and placed

The shell racks on the side of the ship were lined up in a row for the gunners to use at any time. The ammunition hand took out the first batch of ammunition packages from the cabin and began to load the cannon.

The sailors boarded the accompanying long boats and sloops, untied the ropes that towed them, began to row and oar, and blended into the fleet. The wooden boxes containing the Molotov cocktails were opened, and the Molotov cocktails were removed one by one.

The cork was taken out and a piece of cloth used to start the fire was inserted.

Those few flying speedboats formed a separate team, left the main fleet, and were also ready for the assault.

Dozens of warships rushed towards the Spanish fleet, and the expressions on everyone's faces became solemn, because they knew that this battle might be more dangerous than any other sea battle, because the enemy

The firepower will be very strong, at least not much weaker than theirs.

However, Sea Wolf's followers did not flinch because over a long period of time, they have developed a fighting spirit. When encountering a strong enemy, although the risk is high, the chance of meritorious deeds is also much higher.

If they can defeat this Spanish fleet today, then they will truly become a hegemon on the sea in the future. From now on, the huge China Sea will become a bathtub for them. No matter who sees their sea wolf ships again,

I'm afraid I can only walk around.

The appearance of the Sea Wolf fleet was quickly discovered by the lookouts on the Spanish ships with tall masts, and they immediately sounded the alarm on the lookouts. The Spaniards immediately became nervous and quickly began to attack under the command of Anthony.

, adjusted the fleet, sailed away from the shore, entered the wide waters and prepared for the battle.

While Yu Xiaotian was observing the Spanish fleet with telescopes, Anthony and the Spanish captains also took out their telescopes and began to observe the approaching sea wolf fleet.

Although telescopes were invented early in this era and were immediately used for military purposes, because it was very difficult to grind the lenses, the cost was high, and the craftsmanship of the coppersmith had to be matched, so the output was very low, even in

Europe is also a rare commodity, and only a small number of telescopes have been imported to China.

The Spanish fleet has not been able to spread it over a large area, and the telescopes they hold have very low magnification. They are not as high as the telescopes tinkered by Yu Xiaotian and have good lens quality, so the observation effect is not as good as that of Sea Wolf.

The effect of a telescope.

However, Anthony still looked through the eyepiece and saw the dark fleet of Chinese pirates appearing on the sea. Without exception, these ships all had a golden wolf flag flying on the ship, and there were other small flags with different meanings.

This sea wolf fleet is composed of various ships, mainly some of the common Chinese-style Kron ships. Westerners can't tell whether the ship type is a Fu ship or a Guang ship type, so as long as it is a Chinese-style ship

The sailing ships were all named Kron ships by them, and this name contained a derogatory connotation.

After Europeans entered the Age of Discovery, their shipbuilding technology advanced by leaps and bounds, and they successively created many ship types with excellent performance, from Naiya ships to Clark ships, and then to the now common Galen ships.
