Daming pirates

After a while, a large black sail gradually appeared on the sea level, heading towards Yangma Island. Through the telescope, a young naval officer on the "Fei Zi" clipper with the flagship flag hanging,

Through the telescope, he observed the situation of the rebel warships approaching on the sea.

"There are approximately 70 to 80 rebel warships. The strength of the troops cannot be determined at present. The ships are mostly warships made of various materials. The ship types are mixed and the ship speed is very slow! Order the fleet to prepare for an attack!" The young naval officer said while

While observing, he calmly made his judgment and at the same time issued orders for combat preparations.

This young man is only in his twenties, much younger than Yu Xiaotian. His name is Luo Feng. He is the captain of the Yu Jiajun navy's northbound task force and is responsible for commanding the troops patrolling here.

With several warships, he can be regarded as one of the youngest officers in the Yu Jiajun naval system.

Although he is young, his qualifications are not too light. He is also one of the first people to work with Yu Xiaotian. He also started from the lowest level of sailors, and was gradually promoted, and is now appointed to a detachment.

The detachment leader's military rank has reached the level of major, even surpassing Liu BuTong, Wu Shengli and others who are in charge here.

The Navy has always been promoted faster than the Army. There is nothing that can be done about it. The captain of any small ship is at least a second lieutenant. As for the Army, due to its rapid expansion in recent years, there are many second lieutenants and company commanders.

, which made the Army somewhat unhappy, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Several Sea Wolf warships immediately began to prepare for battle after seeing the command flag change on Luo Feng's ship, and then adjusted their course and began to seize the windward position on the sea.

The appearance of these warships on the sea was also discovered by Mao Chenglu from the rebel side. However, Mao Chenglu did not feel too nervous. Instead, he felt a little happy. After all, his side's numerical advantage was here, with seventy or eighty ships.

It shouldn't be a problem to deal with seven or eight ships!

If he does well, he might be able to rob these big ships at once, and then he can do something useful among the rebels.

But he didn't realize at all how terrifying these ships were, because the warships and merchant ships of this era were basically the same in appearance. Even the warships used by many so-called navy masters in the Ming Dynasty were the most ordinary.

The ships are just for different purposes.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened on the sea. The closer the distance, the more excited Mao Chenglu felt. The boats coming towards them on the sea were indeed so beautiful, big and strong, and seemed to be traveling faster, especially

There are three soft sailing boats at the head. They seem to be a kind of vessel used by the Westerners. They have beautiful lines and are very flexible in operation.

Although Mao Chenglu lived in the north, he also knew the biggest difference between Chinese sailboats and Western sailboats. Chinese sailboats all used hard sails, while Western sailboats mostly used soft sails. In their eyes, although Western-style sailboats were beautiful and majestic, they did not

The sail is really powerful because of the rigging. There is no way this kind of boat can be more useful than a Chinese sailboat.

"Disperse! Surround them! Seize these boats first!" Mao Chenglu stood on his handsome boat, pointed at the unidentified boats coming from the opposite side, and shouted to his men.

After receiving the order, the rebel fleet slowly began to spread out, forming a wide array on the sea. The rebels also got on the deck, stood on the side of the ship and began to get busy preparing to join the gang, and moved the ships on board.

The limited artillery is loaded and ready for battle.

Luo Feng's task force quickly seized the upper hand on the sea. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to three or four miles, Luo Feng issued an order to speed up the whole team and attack the enemy's ship formation. Because of the number of enemy ships,

There were many, but the quality was poor, and some were even very small ships, so he ordered the fleet to be prepared for collision.

Among the ships used by Sea Wolf, especially the warships, the quality is very good, they are all made of high-quality wood, and the structure of the warships has been strengthened, and the bow position has been strengthened to the greatest extent. After the naval battle,

When necessary, collision tactics can be used.

Especially when faced with the small and medium-sized ships used by the rebels, ramming tactics are an extreme method most suitable for exerting combat effectiveness.

It just so happened that this time the enemy ships were large in number and poor in quality. In order to be the first to meet them and achieve the best results, Luo Feng immediately chose to use this tactic.

Each ship kept a certain distance at an appropriate distance, formed a wild goose formation, and headed straight towards the rebel fleet without hesitation.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Mao Chenglu began to see clearly the differences in the ships on the opposite side, especially the gun ports on the sides of these ships and the various cannons displayed on the deck. By this time, they were clearly visible. Until this time,

, he felt that the ships he encountered today seemed not simple.

So Mao Chenglu began to feel a little nervous, feeling that he might be kicked off a piece of iron today.

Sure enough, just before the ships from both sides came into contact, several Sea Wolf warships suddenly spewed out clouds of flames. There was a violent sound of artillery on the sea, and blazing shells flew out of the cannon barrels one after another.

, and smashed hard at the rebel ships that were roaring and surrounding them.

It only took a moment for the rebels to truly experience the true power of the most powerful fleet in Asia. Even though these ships were not Sea Wolf's most elite main heavy warships, the main artillery on board was also an ordinary twelve-pounder.

Short-barreled artillery, but the power produced by these twelve-pound short-barreled artillery when facing the rebel warships made the rebels stunned.

Because the slaves in the north did not have decent ships, and their shipbuilding capabilities were basically non-existent, so over the years, the navy of the north did not need to be of high quality. Common and poor-quality ships were enough to cope with their use.

They have never seen a fleet as ferocious as Sea Wolf. Even the quality of the ships they use is much worse than that of many ordinary pirates in the south. Their equipment level cannot even keep up with ordinary pirates.

For a fleet like theirs to face an enemy with the quality of equipment of the Sea Wolf at sea and win a naval battle, it is almost like a dream.

So as soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the rebels were beaten to a pulp by the artillery of the Sea Wolf task force. Several ships that were not very strong could not even hold on for a while after being shot at by focused fire.

The bento disintegrated on the sea surface or flipped over in the sea water.

The rebels all screamed in exclamation. Mao Chenglu was also stunned and exclaimed. Only then did he realize that he had indeed kicked the iron plate today. What kind of cargo ship was this? It was the most ferocious in the south.

It's a warship. Otherwise, how could these ships be equipped with so many cannons?

Moreover, these cannons on the enemy ships are too powerful. It seems that they are all red barbarian cannons. When did so many warships equipped with red barbarian cannons appear in the north? Whose warship is this?

Boat?

Mao Chenglu was blinded at once. Seeing the fierce fire from these warships, Mao Chenglu suddenly felt timid and quickly ordered to give up the siege of these ships and immediately evacuate here. As for the attack on Yangma Island, now

It seems that as long as there are so many war ships, he can't even think about it.

Mao Chenglu was self-aware, but it was too late to leave at this time. He saw seven sea wolf warships, like seven sharp knives, cutting straight into the rebel ship formation without even adjusting their course.

It directly ran over the rebel warships blocking the way.

The rebels on the ship all exclaimed. They had always thought that their warship was the most powerful in the Bohai Bay. When had they ever encountered such a ruthless character, let alone such an arrogant one?

of enemies.

It is not that they are unaware of the ramming tactics of warships, but they all believe that doing so is only done as a last resort when they are desperate. The standard method of killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred, even if they can kill them

If the enemy's ship is smashed, these enemy ships will definitely be damaged as well.

But the next scene shocked them even more. The seven ships seemed to have chosen an enemy ship at the same time, and just crushed it directly. The sharp bow of the Fei Zi Clipper and the strong angle of attack,

Just like an iron plow, it rushes straight into the enemy ship. Just a few clicks are heard, and like a bayonet, it first rams into the enemy ship with its sharp ramming angle. Relying on the huge impact energy carried by the hull itself, in an instant

Then he dismembered the enemy ship on the spot and broke the enemy ship in half.

A flying ship, the angle of entry was not ideal. It almost collided head-on with the enemy ship. It was just a little off. The collision angle was from the right front of the enemy ship. But what the enemy did not expect was that in this kind of situation

In front of the strange-looking warship, their ship was like a piece of paper. The flying ship cut into their hull diagonally. Originally, they thought that after the hull hit, it could get stuck on the enemy ship. The enemy ship

They will get entangled with them. At that time, they can take the opportunity to climb on the enemy ship and join forces to seize the ship.

But what they never expected was that this weird ship would actually hit them and then disembowel their ship on the spot. A good warship could not resist this attack.

The ship collided and was disintegrated by the opponent on the spot. The rebel soldiers on the ship immediately screamed and fell into the cold water, leaving no chance for them to join forces and seize the ship.

Then, as if nothing happened, the enemy ship directly scattered the wreckage of their warship and sailed past, leaving behind a piece of broken ship debris on the sea behind the stern, as well as a large number of struggling rebel soldiers.
