On the other hand, those pirate ships are different! These ships themselves are not built for combat, but more for cargo transportation. Not to mention the freeboard is lower than that of warships, and the wood used in shipbuilding cannot be thickened like warships.

Wood, isn’t that a waste?

Moreover, there are no fixed gun positions on it, so it cannot carry several artillery pieces. Those sturdier ships that can carry four or five artillery pieces will run the risk of raising their center of gravity and easily rolling over! So although the pirates tried their best

The counterattack also caused a lot of damage to Liu Pei's fleet, but in the end it was beyond its power!

Although the outer pirates blocked it, the five ships that initially rushed over with Zheng Zhilong's flagship were desperately approaching Zheng Zhilong's flagship. Liu Pei's two frigates were not to be outdone and began to fire artillery at them, trying to

Intercept them. At the same time, they slowly approach Liu Pei's flagship.

Both sides knew that the battle between the two flagships would determine the outcome of this naval battle. It would further determine the ownership of this sea! So everyone tried their best to reinforce their flagships.

After Liu Pei ordered the musketeers to fire several rounds of muskets at the opponent's deck, no one could be seen on the opponent's front deck. At this time, Liu Pei, who had already put on a layer of iron armor outside his body armor, raised his sword high.

He shouted loudly: "Brothers! Join the gang with me!"

After saying that, he wanted to jump over from the bow first, but was held back by the guards. The others shouted and jumped over Liu Pei, jumping from the bow to Zheng Zhilong's boat!

But those pirates didn't get it for free! Before the two ships collided, they had clearly estimated the development of the matter. So except for a few people, the other pirates retreated to the rear deck and ship building, and the damage caused by the collision was limited.

.Now seeing their opponents charging forward, the pirates immediately launched a counterattack!

Just when the pirates rushed out, a group of gunmen and archers suddenly started fighting on the unmanned ship building, and they fired lead bullets and bows and arrows! It was just when Liu Pei's party was unstable and it was too late.

Fighting back, five or six people were shot down in an instant! Fortunately, Liu Pei was protected in the center by the guards and was not shot!

Not to be outdone, Liu Pei's side pulled out short muskets and shot at each other. There was a loud ping-ping-pong-pong sound! Seven or eight of the pirates who rushed out from the opposite side were shot down before they had time to get close. Then both sides held their own guns.

Fighting together with swords and axes!

As for the pirate Liu Pei on the ship's upper floor, they didn't care at all. They transparently left it to the firecrackers on the ship. Sure enough, the pirates on the ship's upper floor only fired one round of firecrackers and only two bows and arrows, and were killed by the other ship.

All the lead bullets that were fired were knocked down. Those who were lucky enough to be uninjured hid behind the wooden boards and did not dare to show their heads!

Some musketeers are suppressing the muskets and bows on the opposite side.

Arrows, the other firecrackers saw that the sailors had rushed onto the enemy ship, and the two sides were already fighting together. They could not shoot the firecrackers, so they simply dropped the firecrackers, grabbed their swords and axes, and jumped in together to fight!

On the front deck of Deng Zhilong's boat, the two sides were fighting with swords and axes! But this time, Liu Pei's side clearly had the upper hand! Because the people in the lead were Liu Pei's carefully selected guards, and they also had

Wearing plate armor. Pirates never wear armor for the sake of portability. So Liu Pei's side had the upper hand in the fight!

But wearing plate armor also has disadvantages in naval battles. That is, you must not fall into the water! Once you fall into the water, unless you can take off the plate armor in time, otherwise you will be carried into the deep sea by the heavy armor. However, if you are proficient in water,

Few people can do this.

The plate armor worn by the guards were all high-quality products brought from modern times, and were very solid! When a knife hit it, it was just a spark! When an ax hit it, the person just staggered. So the pirates were killed and retreated step by step.

Liu Pei inserted the pistol in his left hand into his waist, holding the sword in both hands and kept looking for Zheng Zhilong among the pirates, but he never found it. However, Liu Pei was sure that Zheng Zhilong was still alive and not even injured, otherwise these pirates would not have

It would be such a desperate style of play.

He was looking for Zheng Zhilong, but the fighting in front didn't stop! The people standing in the front row kept falling while killing each other. But in comparison, the pirates suffered more casualties. After all, they didn't have armor on their bodies!

But the pirates are also veterans of fighting! The knives are specially used to attack the throat, joints, etc. Those who use heavy weapons smash their opponents on the head! The people standing on the side of the ship even fell into the sea under the attack of the pirates! The waves rolled up.

, the heavy armor sank with the person!

At this time, several reinforcement ships were approaching. Liu Pei's two frigates had parked on both sides of the flagship. Several other pirate ships also braved fierce gunfire to connect with Zheng Zhilong's ship! At this time, the artillery distance

It was too close to be used, but firecrackers and bows and arrows were still useful! So several ships began to shoot at each other, and from time to time someone fell from the ship into the sea! But there were still people who jumped onto the fighting ship to join the battle group!

As reinforcements arrived, the fighting on the ship became more fierce and bloody! Several ships were still shooting at each other, but both sides had a tacit understanding not to shoot at the two entangled flagships because the leaders of both sides were there.

, in case of accidental injury, wouldn’t it be a big joke!

Therefore, although the shooting on several surrounding ships was fierce, the two ships basically maintained a state of hand-to-hand combat. Of course, it was not all hand-to-hand combat. Because Liu Pei equipped the sailors with a large number of short muskets.

Everyone who goes up carries them

They killed at least one! Before fighting the enemy, they shot each other in the face! There was no chance of missing at such a close distance! So they steadily gained the upper hand and suppressed the pirates who were frantically counterattacking.

Just when Liu Pei forced the pirates to retreat step by step, another group of people joined the battlefield. This group of people was obviously different from the other pirates. Each of them had calm eyes and sharp sword skills! And many of them were wearing wooden clogs and carrying Japanese swords.

, and even shaved their heads with the unique Japanese Tsukiyo! After these people joined the battle group, they quickly reversed the unfavorable situation of the pirates and stabilized the battle line.

When Liu Pei discovered this group of people, he secretly increased his vigilance. He guessed that these people must be Zheng Zhilong's personal guards, because the few Japanese people mixed among them were proof! So Liu Pei shouted loudly: "The surname is Zheng, Zheng Yiguan! I am here

Here! Stop hiding and let me weigh you!"

Before Liu Pei finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "What a thief! I will kill you today to avenge my brother!"

After speaking, a figure flashed out and raised a knife to kill Liu Pei. Seeing the handsome face of this man, Liu Pei looked at him and gritted his teeth. Looking back on the portrait provided to him by the Intelligence Bureau, he immediately recognized this man as Zheng Zhilong!

Liu Pei has consciously practiced sword skills for many years, and he should not lose to Zheng Zhilong. So he also raised the sword and moved forward. The guards on both sides wanted to take risks without showing their masters, and wanted to kill the opponent first. In the end, the guards of the two sides fought each other.

It gave these two people a chance to fight against each other.

Liu Pei's blessing through the Time and Space Gate was extremely powerful, and he used a thick-backed machete. Zheng Zhilong used a finely crafted Japanese sword. Both of them were surprised when they fought!

Liu Pei's machete is extremely heavy, and it's very powerful when it's turned! In addition, Liu Pei himself practices swordsmanship on the battlefield, focusing on opening and closing widely, exchanging injuries for lives! In addition, he practices diligently every day.

He dropped out, so Zheng Zhilong couldn't do anything to Liu Pei for the time being.

But on the other hand, Liu Pei can't help Zheng Zhilong! Zheng Zhilong has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, especially swordsmanship! He once visited a famous master and studied swordsmanship seriously. In addition, he has been traveling on the sea all year round, and it is impossible to use a sword.

No flaw in sight! Zheng Zhilong not only avoided Liu Pei's frontal attack, but also had the energy to counterattack.

After these two people fought together, a large number of the guards on both sides had fallen! In order to support their coach, the guards on both sides used life-threatening tactics, so casualties occurred very quickly!

Fortunately, other personnel are constantly being added to the group.

Although Zheng Zhilong and Liu Pei fought against each other, they could still see the huge casualties of the guards around them! This was the foundation of their livelihood. How could they be willing to throw themselves into such a meaningless fight and lose their lives? At the moment, the two of them started fighting each other.
Chapter completed!
