The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

During the pursuit, one chased and fled. After passing the north of Xiaozhizhou, the pirate fleet went up to the southwest and merged with the pirate ship that had previously retreated, and then turned to the northeast, and the black was pressed down. I don’t know. how many!

　　 At this time, the wind is heading southeast, and the Southeast Fleet is heading northeast of the enemy. Due to the obstacle of Xiaozhizhou, it is difficult to seize the upper hand.

　　 The situation is very clear, the opponent wants to take the southeast fleet with a downwind opportunity to succeed in it!

Liu Xiang stayed on the central military ship and drove the ship forward. He personally beat the drums and marched forward. He said to the pirates: "The average killer is two taels per person. If the battle is prolonged, each person will add up to five taels. If the enemy ship can be set on fire. One ship, two hundred taels of silver (about 20 people in a boat, 12 taels per capita), and a head of a member of the Southeast Fleet at 12 taels!"

　　 He mobilized all his power and attacked in a big way. He wanted to take down the Southeast Fleet without letting go. Only by destroying the Southeast Fleet can he be safe!

　　 Otherwise, thirty thousand silver dollars is too tempting. I don't know when I will cut my head in my sleep. After all, the Southeast Fleet is in this sea, and I will get a reward when I send it.

　　 Liu Xiang gave out cash, considering that the killer's life is not worth money, and the money is valuable, and the pirates also fight for the money.

　　 These desperadoes, clamoring and shouting, rushed out like a tide by following the wind.

　　 For a time, the sea was full of their screams, even overshadowing the rumbling of cannons.

"I don't know what I want to do as a laborer!" Yan Changwu on the flagship laughed loudly. He said to the people: "They follow the wind and want more people to win. They know that we can only fight, but they just stick to fight and use fire. Burning my ship, I'm not as good as they meant it!"

The flags turned on the flagship, and the ships were formed in odd and even numbers (the odd and even numbers were determined to be equal before sailing), and two battle lines parallel to the enemy ship were formed at the downwind (if one is too long, the opponent will intercept me. Army), see that they are in order, lined up and even marching gracefully.

　　 The pirate leaders are all jealous. Although they don't want to admit it, the Southeast Mansion has indeed done a great deal! ‘

Standing on the Chinese military ship, Liu Xiang saw the southeast warships lined up in the distance. He grinned and said: "Even if your gunfire is violent, I am in the upper hand. The ship is extremely fast. When I reach you, I will jump off the ship and fight. You warships, all go to see your Mazu."

　　He went to extremes this time, and the hundreds of ships rushing forward were all fire ships!

　　The plan is to move forward desperately, stay in front of the enemy ship, connect the enemy and us with a hook, and burn it!

　　 This time he is going to the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang to burn Chibi, and he has earned it with one fight.

The roaring artillery awakened his dreams. The pirate ship had already entered the cannon range of the Southeast Fleet. The officers and soldiers of the fleet looked at the densely rushing enemy ships and saw the signal from the flagship. The officer shouted: " Fire! Fire! Free to shoot!"

　　 The military order is issued, which means non-fire and salvo, and each artillery squad decides whether to fire or not.

　　 The artillery on each ship immediately fired, and the sea surface was immediately enveloped by artillery and gunpowder smoke. The loud noises were endless. Many pirate ships on the opposite side were hit, but the scene was peculiar.

　　 There are not many solid bullets hitting the pirate ship, but chain bullets are used!

　　The chain bullet is simply an iron ball with two ends connected to an iron chain, also known as a double-ended bullet. When it is launched, the two ends rotate, breaking the sails and the mast, both of which are broken!

　　 Sailing fleet operations and single-ship engagements are greatly affected by the position of the ship related to the wind direction. It is difficult for an upwind ship to open the lower gun door. This is especially true for a three-deck warship, while a downwind ship’s gun position is better. However, shells fired from a leeward position can easily hit the rigging or mast, while those fired from an upwind position hit the hull hull. Therefore, it is a strategic goal to determine which position a ship should occupy in battle.

For the Southeast Fleet, firepower output per unit time (DPS) is highly valued. The bigger the better, and Yan Changwu always boasts that his guns are bigger, harder and thicker than others. Therefore, Yan Changwu asks his captains to have the upper hand. .

　　 Now that there is no way to gain the upper hand, then use the tactics of the downwind, and the chain bomb is exclusively for the rigging mast.

　　 is quite accurate. There are about a dozen pirate ships that have to mast continuously, or the rigging is cut off like a razor, and sails down!

　　 But relying on inertia and wind to push the ship, the pirate ships still moved forward, and when they got closer, it was clear that sharpened thick wood and hook cables were bound to the bow of the pirate ship, which was obviously used to collide and hook the Southeast warship.

　　 How could the southeast battleship give them what they wanted, and immediately both battle lines headed west, without fighting each other, and at the same time, the ship fired volleys of guns and small artillery.

　　 The roar of guns, and what is even more terrifying is that the small artillery fired shotguns, hitting a large number of shots, so that the pirates could not lift their heads on the ship, and it was difficult to catch the quasi-southeast warship.

　　 The pirates also learned from each other, preparing sandbags, wooden fences, and shields to resist the small projectiles of the opponent.

　　 No one has any results of the war. The Southeast Fleet’s tactics do not require merits, but they do not intend to fight against the enemy.

　　 The pirates wanted to fight the Southeast Fleet to the death and the life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but they ignored them and patronized them.

　　 There is wind now, the wind of the splint pulls its sails, pull the distance, turn west, and grab the upper hand!

　　 Liu Xiang saw that the ships on his side could not catch up with the enemy, but gradually scattered.

　　 Then go west, enter Guishan Island, then go west to North Point, and go south to Gongmiao and Datun.

This is the junction of the Pearl River Estuary and the sea. The water is shallow and not counted, and there is little development. There are many underwater reefs and many sandbars. Liu Xiang led the team to the shallow water zone, which proves that the Southeast Fleet really knows this area. They did not follow up the danger zone, but were scattered far away.

　　Whether there is an inner ghost, or if the Southeast Mansion has some knowledge of the local situation, but Liu Xiang is more inclined to have an inner ghost, but he didn't say anything, after all, there is no evidence, and he secretly decided which ones to pursue

　　 What makes Liu Xiangxin feel is that the Southeast Fleet is not eager to fight, and the formation is always dense, so that the pirates do not have a chance to take advantage of.

　　 "War is the continuation of politics. It is best for us to make a quick fight, and we can drag it down. Anyway, the place where it is broken is not my hometown!" Yan Changwu said to the captains.

　　 Captains: "I don't understand..."

　　 "If you don't understand, then execute the order!" Yan Changwu ordered.

　　 When Liu Xiang’s fleet was specifically drilling into the shallow waters, and the sky was getting dark, the Southeast Fleet broke away from tracking, sailed to the open sea, and berthed in the open sea.

　　 The record of the day was the sinking of five pirate ships that were left behind, and the loss of control of the other five pirate ships whose masts were broken. It is also considered the result of the battle.

　　 Liu Xiang's fleet traveled from west to east at night, across the Pearl River estuary, and disappeared into the night.

　　 On the second day, the cruise ships of the Southeast Fleet looked around, but they did not see Liu Xiang's fleet, so they went to Guangzhou and returned home in a victorious manner.
