Daming pirates

At this time, the sea was in chaos, and Yu Xiaotian himself lost the ability to command the fleet, and could only let each ship perform its own tasks.

Under such communication conditions, it is no longer possible to effectively command a large number of ships to engage in a melee using flags and drums alone. When this happens, it depends more on the performance of the captains of each ship.

During the fierce battle just now, Yu Xiaotian's heart was bleeding. He watched one after another of his ships being sunk and destroyed by the Spaniards. A large number of sailors were injured and killed. He felt heartbroken. These sailors were all good sailors.

If one person dies, one person will be lost. It will take a long time to replenish the force. Newly recruited sailors must undergo a long period of training before they can meet the needs.

But after this battle, he lost at least one or two hundred capable sailors. These sailors were trained by him for a long time, and he provided good food to improve their physique, so one less person would be useless.

Ten ordinary people can hardly make up for it.

But he had to be cruel and let these sailors move forward one after another, because this was a hurdle in his life and he had to get over it, including himself, as the commander-in-chief of this fleet.

, we still have to go to the front line to fight.

The Spaniards also clearly understood that Yu Xiaotian's ship was a handsome ship, so during the exchange of fire just now, Yu Xiaotian's two-masted schooner naturally became the focus of the Spaniards' attention.

The Spaniards were also very curious about his two-masted schooner. This boat obviously looked like a hybrid. The sails were a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with both Chinese hard sails and Western-style triangular sails. The hull was more like

It's a Western-style ship, and it looks awkward no matter how you look at it. It has the advantages of Chinese and Western sailing ships, but it also has the shortcomings of Chinese and Western sailing ships. People can't understand what this thing is.

However, it can be seen from the flags on the ship's mast that this ship is the handsome ship of this group of pirates, so when his ship appeared in the crossfire zone, it became a key target of the Spaniards.

After a face-to-face encounter, Yu Xiaotian's ship withstood the bombardment of dozens of cannonballs. The entire right side of the ship was riddled with craters and riddled with holes, and the sails were even beaten into sieves by the opponent.

Several shells hit the poop, almost killing Yu Xiaotian on the spot. The sailors on the ship also suffered heavy casualties, including two of his personal guards. They were also killed by the opponent's artillery on the spot, and one was directly torn apart by a shell.

It was broken into pieces, leaving only a few pieces of flesh and blood, and the other one was torn into two pieces at the waist, and his death was horrific.

Including Yu Xiaotian himself, he was also slightly injured, his thigh was injured by flying debris. Fortunately, he didn't care about it this time. Before the battle, he put on his armor and stood majestically on the stern of the ship.

Go on, otherwise his thigh might be wasted this time, and most of the strength was leaked by the armor of the leg protection, but even so, the leg was still bleeding profusely.

Yu Xiaotian couldn't stand firmly, so he had to have a big chair brought in and sit on the poop to direct the battle, because he knew very well that he was the soul of the fleet today. If he fell or gave up the command,

, then the blow to the morale of the Sea Wolf tribe will be very big, and collapse is not impossible. After all, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce and can easily tear their ships into pieces.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian was slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and continued to direct the battle while sitting on the poop. The blood stained one of his trouser legs red, and even the inside of his boots were sticky with blood.

Fortunately, when he was building this ship, the boathouse spared no expense and used absolutely good wood and hardwood. Its sturdiness is no worse than those of the Spanish warships, and the structural strength is even higher. On the surface,

Although it was badly beaten, the structure of the ship was not damaged, but there was some water leakage along the sides.

However, there was a carpenter on board the ship and various leak-stopping materials were prepared. The crew made emergency repairs and plugged the leaks while working on it. After some emergency repairs, the leakage in the hull was basically stopped.

There is a two-step manual water pump arranged in the cabin below. It is a pressure water pump. Two people work together and alternately press the pressure rod. Then the water can be pressed from the cabin to the deck and discharged into the sea. In addition to being placed in the bilge cabin

In addition to pumping water when necessary, there is also a fire extinguisher on the deck that can be used as a fire extinguisher to press out a water column and replace a pump with a small water capacity to extinguish fires on the ship.

When Yu Xiaotian saw that Luo Xianbin had led the team to kill the other small fleet of the Spanish, he immediately relaxed. After the Spanish fleet lost that small fleet, they could basically be sentenced to death.

.

Although these ships are still fighting happily now, once the two sides enter the melee, these ships will become fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They can easily destroy the main ships of the Sea Wolf, but for the swarming up

The boat was as clumsy as a big elephant, and it could only be slowly worn to death.

The commander of the Spanish fleet obviously did not see the trap they were about to face just now, and actually allowed Yu Xiaotian to order the fleet to collide with the Sea Wolf fleet, trying to use ramming tactics and use their ships to angle.

, to crash the Sea Wolf's ship.

They even achieved some results. Two sea wolf warships were successfully rammed by them and were smashed and sank into the water on the spot.

But this also created a good opportunity for the small boats of Sea Wolf. The small boats that had been following the fleet in the fleet received Yu Xiaotian's order and began to attack crazily. They rowed hard or rowed, and used

He rushed towards the Spanish warships with all his strength.

After seeing their small fleet being destroyed, the other party realized that they were in serious trouble. They suddenly became a little panicked and began to turn around, seeming to be preparing to withdraw from the battle.

But how could Yu Xiaotian let them get their wish at this time? He had already paid a high price today. At least seven or eight ships had been destroyed by the Spaniards, not including some small boats. If he allowed them to do so at this time,

If the Spanish fleet escapes, then even if he wins the naval battle, the price he pays will be too heavy.

So at this time, the Spaniards thought of running away, but it was too late! Yu Xiaotian struggled to stand up, held Liu Wang's shoulders, and shouted sternly: "Everyone gather around us, we must not let them run away! Beat me!"

Dozens of sea wolf boats, large and small, surrounded these Spanish warships like wolves, biting desperately at these large Spanish ships. Under the control of the sailors, the small boats fought with all their might.

Rushing towards the Spanish ship, as long as you get within a few dozen yards of them, you will be in the blind spot of their bombardment.

Several small boats surrounded a large Spanish ship. The nearby ships fired cannons or shots at the Spanish on board. The shotguns swept across the enemy ship like rain, hitting the Spanish standing on the deck.

The sailors were overturned and had to lie down to avoid the cannon.

As soon as these small boats approached the Spanish ship, several strong sailors stood up, took out porcelain or glass bottles from the cabin, lit the cloth strips on the bottle mouths, and banged them.

With a bang bang bang, it hit the Spanish ship.

The bottles are filled with grease, just ordinary whale blubber, and the burning is not too violent. However, some of the bottles are filled with petroleum extracts, which are considered mixed oils. After being ignited with a bang, they immediately rise into the air.

A blaze broke out, burning quickly and violently.

The Spaniards on the ship quickly started to put out the fire, trying to put out the flames, but they used sand and water, but it was difficult to put out the flames. After a slight delay, more incendiary bottles were thrown at them one after another.

The ship immediately ignited a larger fire.

The Spaniards on the ship panicked, screaming and running around the ship under Sea Wolf's gunfire, trying to put out the fire. However, they soon discovered that the kerosene used by Sea Wolf was too powerful.

It was so fierce that the sea water poured on the fire could not extinguish the flames. On the contrary, it burned even more fiercely, which they did not expect.

Ever since they encountered this group of sea wolves, there have been so many unexpected things. This group of Chinese pirates has brought them one "surprise" after another, which is really too much for them.

As more and more Molotov cocktails were thrown onto their ship, the fire on the ship began to become uncontrollable. Soon the sails and masts were also burned by the fire, and the entire ship became

A huge torch made a crackling sound, and ammunition began to explode one after another.

At this time, the Spaniards became lively and no longer dared to stay on the boat. They jumped into the sea to escape, screaming like turkeys.

But after they fell into the water, they were immediately picked up by the sea wolf, tied like pigs, and thrown into the cabin. Those who dared to resist had their heads chopped off on the spot.

The Spanish warships fought left and right, trying to break out, but it was not that easy. Sea Wolf's ships surrounded them like crazy, and even used ships to block their way. They would rather have their own ships be destroyed.

They smashed them and refused to let them escape.

Several Sea Wolf ships were crashed and damaged by them, but this greatly hindered their escape speed. After a while, a Spanish ship was set on fire again, and a raging fire broke out.

Anthony's head was getting bigger now. Looking at the Kron ships gathered from all directions, he realized that this group of pirates was not as simple as he thought. This group of pirates had a whole set of ways to deal with them, and they even set fire to it.

The tactics were still effective. Even though they didn't use the kind of fire ships commonly used by pirates, they had a lot of fire oil tanks, which was also quite scary.

He didn't dare to delay any longer, and ordered all the ships to withdraw from the battle immediately and escape from this damn place regardless of the cost. So their remaining three ships desperately began to break out, turning on all their firepower, and firing as long as they could

cannons, all firing at full speed.
