Daming pirates

The scene of such a large fleet sailing at night on the sea is quite spectacular. More than 200 ships spread out on the sea, occupying several square kilometers of sea surface. There are dots of lights everywhere on the sea, as if suddenly

Suddenly, a bustling city appeared on the sea, dazzling as it was. Each cluster of lights marked the existence of a ship, slowly advancing on the sea.

As the ship rocked, the lights flickered, just like stars suddenly falling on the sea. People couldn't help but sigh after watching it, and even felt a little shaken.

Many people had never seen such a scene before, and they all ran to the deck of the ship to watch such a rare scene and couldn't help but sigh.

There are indispensable scholars on board the ship, such as staff members like Tian Youren, some military book offices or scribes, and staff members like Yu Zigao. When seeing such a scene, it is inevitable to recite poems and compose poems on the ship, and even drink some wine.

.

Therefore, the tension before the battle was relaxed after night, and only the maneuvering and fighting were left to remain vigilant, not daring to be careless for fear of the risk of collision with the ship.

But just after night fell, a small fleet appeared on the sea level. This fleet kept a distance from Yu Zigao's fleet, and all lights were turned off. Only

There is a small lamp hanging on the stern and the lookout. This copper lamp only has holes on one side, and the light can only radiate in one direction, and it is basically towards their back, so from the side, basically

Less than their lights.

There are not many ships in this fleet, each holding its stern, not far apart. The fleet also maintains a relatively dense state, and there is no sound in the fleet. Everyone stands coldly on the side of the ship, looking towards them.

Looking at the dotted military fleet in the distance.

After nightfall, the Dutch fleet sailed away from Yu Zigao's fleet under Waite's order. Because their ships had larger hulls and sails, although they could sail against the wind, they would not be able to sail against the wind.

In this condition, they are more difficult to operate. Sailors often have to move back and forth on the mast to adjust the sails, so the workload is much greater than that of Chinese rigid sails.

Such a slow forward speed made Waite and the Dutch feel helpless. During the day, they barely maintained contact with Yu Zigao's fleet. However, at night, they did not trust the Chinese people's ship-handling skills, so they simply sailed away.

Leave Yu Zigao's fleet to avoid collision with these Krong ships.

As a result, after entering night, Yu Zigao's fleet lost the escort of the Dutch fleet, and could only form a group by itself and continue sailing north.

At this time, when they were at their weakest, these dozen or so unidentified ships appeared on the east side of the ocean to Yu Zigao's fleet.

Time passes slowly amidst the boring sound of sea waves lapping against the hull. The ships on the sea still have to keep making zigzag routes on the sea, adjusting the sails to catch the wind and moving forward slowly.

When the time entered midnight, everyone in the official and military fleets who were watching the novels were also tired.

Although the scene of the ship group sailing at night on the sea is beautiful, if you watch too much, you will feel aesthetic fatigue. People who have seen enough can finally not stop their sleepiness and go down to the cabin early to find a place to sleep.

, so there were only Kamito, Rakuten, and the helmsman and fire chief remaining on the ship, still sticking to the deck, and the entire fleet began to become quiet.

But at this time, the mysterious fleet that was far parallel to them began to make new moves. On the ship headed by this fleet, a light lit up, flashing rapidly, and only

Only other ships following it could see this flashing light.

After the first ship began to flash its lights, the ships following it also began to flash their lights one after another. When later generations of sailors saw these lights, they knew they were lanterns, specially used to transmit signals at night.

As the lights flashed, the fleet, hidden under the night, began to turn and slowly sailed towards the official and military fleet on their left.

At this time, the moonlight in the sky was not very bright. The sight of the people in the fleet was very poor and they could only vaguely see places not too far away. In addition, there were lights everywhere on the sea, so they could only see lights.

In such a place, it was impossible to detect that a fleet was approaching them.

After about half an hour, this mysterious fleet finally approached Yu Zigao's fleet, but their presence was still not discovered by anyone in Yu Zigao's fleet.

After the fleet approached Yu Zigao's fleet, the fleet began to disband. The ships broke away from their original formation, began to disperse, and sailed separately into Yu Zigao's fleet.

Although the officers and soldiers were fighting, they vaguely felt that a ship was approaching their fleet, but when they looked closely, they did not find anything unusual.

The boats approaching one after another quickly dispersed into Yu Zigao's fleet, but they did not attract the attention of many people.

"Damn it! Why did the lantern on that boat go out? Turn left! *** They are too close to us! If we keep the light, we should hit them!

Hi! I mean, people on that boat, are you fucking blind or are you all fucking asleep? Didn’t you see that all your lanterns were out? Turn around quickly, you’re too close! Did you hear that?

"

The upper deck on the mast of an army ship suddenly saw the shadow of a ship in the faint light. Moreover, the ship was pitch black, without even a lantern lit, and it was heading towards them.

The boat was approaching, and it seemed that it was almost touching their boat, and it was almost possible that it would hit their boat in the next moment.

So the boss immediately shouted curses and hurriedly called on the sailor and helmsman below to turn the rudder to avoid the collision. He also yelled and cursed loudly to remind the approaching ship to quickly turn the rudder to avoid a collision.

But the boat didn't react at all. It still maintained its course and sailed towards them. Seeing that it was not far away from them, it started to react. Dots of firelights lit up on the boat.

Moreover, the ship began to adjust its course and was almost close to this lucky ship.

The sailors on this lucky boat were all broken into a cold sweat at this time, and they quickly turned the helm to avoid collision, for fear of colliding with this damn boat. It would be troublesome if they collided with the boat on the sea in such a dark night.

It was too big, so the people on their boat suddenly started to curse, but some people still felt that something was wrong, because the boat that suddenly appeared next to them seemed a bit too weird.

After the ship approached, they discovered that it was not that there were no lights on the ship, but that there was a strange light on the mast, and no flag could be seen on the ship. Moreover, after it approached them, the deck of the ship lit up with little lights.

One can't help but feel that something is wrong.

At this time, someone rushed to find the officer on the ship and shouted loudly to the ship to leave their ship immediately and not to come any closer.

But at this moment, things began to change unexpectedly. On the strange ship, objects with shining fire suddenly flew towards the official ship. At the same time,

More fires were lit, and experienced people immediately judged that they were lit rockets.

"Enemy attack! No, enemy attack!..." The officers and soldiers with quick thinking immediately judged what situation they encountered. It turned out that an enemy took advantage of the cover of night to sneak into their fleet and attack them.

They launched a sneak attack.

But before their exclamations could reach the ground, those flying fire points hit their deck. As soon as these fire points landed on their deck, they immediately sent out a crackling sound of broken porcelain pieces.

There was a crackling sound, and almost instantly, the liquid splashed out burned immediately, and the fire was very violent once it started.

Some of the officers and soldiers who were caught off guard did not have time to evade, and their bodies were splashed with fire points. Their clothes were immediately ignited, and they immediately let out shrill screams.

Before the officers and soldiers of the ship could understand, a bunch of rockets flew towards their ship and were nailed to their ship or sail. The arrow shafts of the rockets were wrapped with cloth soaked in grease.

After the strips were nailed to the sail, they immediately began to burn.

It was not until this moment that everyone on the ship was awakened. Some people came out of the cabin and looked at the fire burning on the deck in confusion, screaming and asking what happened.

But at this time, scenes like this happened one after another in Yu Zigao's fleet. This scene appeared in more than a dozen places. Unidentified ships suddenly burst into the fleet, setting countless fires on fire.

The fireball was thrown on the officer's ship nearby, causing a fire.

The exclamation immediately spread throughout the entire fleet on the sea. Everyone was immediately stunned. Some people immediately judged that they had been attacked by a sneak attack. However, in such a dark night, it was impossible to find out who had infiltrated into their fleet.

Enemy ships and the entire Yu Zigao's fleet began to become confused.

Everyone looked around the ships in panic, fearing that such enemy ships would appear next to them. Fortunately, the main fleet led by Yu Zigao was in the center of the fleet, and the security was relatively tight, so the enemy ships did not directly attack them.

Rushing to the center of their fleet, they only blended into their outer fleets and did not directly attack the main ships led by Yu Zigao.

However, they still succeeded in causing chaos in the fleet led by Yu Zigao. The awakened officers and soldiers rushed out of the cabin and ran to the deck of the ship, with panic on their faces and nervously looking around.

I couldn't figure out what happened for a while.

At this time, seven or eight boats in Yu Zigao's fleet had been set on fire at the same time. The people on the boats screamed loudly, yelled and cursed, and tried desperately to put out the fire on the boats, and sprinkled water on them.

For sand, it is necessary to use a pump to absorb water and spray it, or to draw water from the sea. It is a mess.

(Wow! Thank you brother jenlyx for the reward! I’m so touched! This is motivation! Haha!)
