Under Wu Yizhou's order, the fleet slowly changed its formation on the sea, and then accelerated toward the Colo Bay. The pirates in the Colo Bay did find the smoke pillars that were warning and began to prepare for war.

Liu Xiang is indeed a veteran of naval warfare! After receiving the warning, the pirates who gathered hastily did not cause chaos under his command! The fleet quickly set off!

Liu Xiang stood on the deck of the flagship and shouted to his subordinates: "Burn an enemy ship and reward 200 taels of silver! Kill an enemy and reward 5 taels of silver!"

Hearing Liu Xiang's promise, the pirates waved their weapons and responded loudly! For a moment, they looked like a rainbow! Seeing that his agitation had effect, Liu Xiang turned around, climbed onto the mast in three or two, took out a monocular lens from his waist and looked at the fleet in the distance.

He found that the other party had become a four-way column, so he immediately ordered his fleet to sail eastward in two lines. Liu Xiang was not frightened by the momentum of Wu Yizhou's fleet, but immediately saw the weakness of the four-way column.

Although Wu Yizhou's fleet is at the forefront and sails very fast, the bow of the ship is diagonally facing the opponent is not conducive to exerting its own firepower. Once Liu Xiang's fleet lists two straits, it is conducive to promoting firepower, not only can it flash through the opponent's impact, turn to the opponent's back, and seize the limelight again!

As the fleets of both sides approached, Wu Yizhou discovered that Liu Xiang's fleet was not the more than 80 ships in advance, but nearly 100 ships close to his fleet. It seemed that Liu Xiang had used the advantage of the geographical advantage to hide some ships. However, Wu Yizhou didn't care. This was just a small means and could not affect the overall situation!

Liu Xiang sneered at the several new warships leading in the opponent's fleet, then jumped off the mast, grabbed the flag and shook it, and ordered the arson ship to attack.

As the flag was waving, a group of ships split out from the fleet. These ships were all arson ships specially selected by Liu Xiang. The ship was filled with firewood and tinder oil was poured on it! Once the torch was thrown up, it would be the result of the turbulent flames.

Those who drove the arson ship were also desperados recruited by Liu Xiang with a large sum of money! Liu Xiang promised as they did, as long as the arson ship rushed into the enemy's fleet, regardless of whether the arson ship burned the enemy or not,

Each person who drives the fireboat is rewarded with 50 taels of silver! If the ship can be burned, each person will be 200 taels of silver! If the enemy's new warship can be burned, it will be 300 taels of silver per ship!

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards! Many of these pirates who only recognize money jumped out and were willing to control the arson ships. These arson ships were filled with firewood and were very light in weight, so they ran quickly. They cut the wind direction diagonally and rushed directly to Wu Yizhou's fleet, intending to burn the ship and disrupt the enemy's formation!

Wu Yizhou glanced at the fleet that was rushing towards him in the telescope, and just saw that they were floating on the water, they knew that they were brisk arson ships. In advance, the staff had considered this situation. Because the arson ships could only be used when they were just engaged in battle, they were used to burn enemy ships and disrupt enemy formations. Among them, disrupting enemy formations is the most important role.

Because the arson ship only retains the minimum number of crew members required for navigation and is filled with flammable firewood. Once it cannot be released at the beginning, when it enters the engagement stage, a few shots will ignite a large fire, which will disrupt its formation. Therefore, it can only be used before the war begins.

Although Wu Yizhou had anticipated this situation, there were many arson ships rushing towards him. Wu Yizhou counted a little and found that there were nearly 50 arson ships approaching. This made his scalp itch a little!

Wu Yizhou cursed in his heart: "This Liu Xiang is cruel enough! Nearly half of the ships burned like this! What a pity!"

However, Wu Yizhou also understood Liu Xiang's choice. Now Liu Pei has the final say on the sea. If you win this battle, no matter how many ships Liu Xiang burns, you can make up for it! If you can't win, it will be cheap to leave any ships left! It's better to use them all as arson ship and concentrate manpower to fight!

Wu Yizhou put down his telescope and immediately ordered: "Release our arson ship. At the same time, he told the sailors to be as accurate as possible and pay attention to their own safety!"

As the flagship issued an order, the team on the far right of the four columns began to accelerate, while the other ships began to slow down. More than 30 arson ships pulled into a loose horizontal line and accelerated their sails.

The arson ships of both sides approached quickly, and the people of both sides held their breath and watched the arson ship's performance. Both sides hoped that their own

The fireboat can successfully disrupt the enemy's formation.

When the arson ships on both sides approached the center line, Liu Xiang's men took the lead in igniting the ship, fixed the sails and rudder poles, and jumped back to the boat to escape!

Although the ship-carrying people are all outlaws, they also cherish their lives! If they escape too close to the enemy, they will not have any life to escape back! After all, having money will have to spend life to make sense. And it will take some time for the flame to burn.

When Liu Xiang's side saw wisps of black smoke appearing on the arson ship, they happily waved their weapons and cheered loudly to the arson ship! But their cheers quickly stopped slowly because they saw the other party's arson ship's different operations!

The fireboats of Wu Yizhou fleet did not ignite firewood too early. They operated fixed artillery on the deck to shoot at the adjacent enemy ships. But when they looked closely, the artillery they fired was not artillery at all, but whaling forks on the whaling ships!

It turned out that these arson ships had two whaling cannons that fired whaling forks at the stern of the ship. The sailors shot whaling forks at the approaching enemy arson ships!

The thick whaling forks fly in the air with iron chains. If you are not lucky, you are not hit. If you are not lucky, you will start a small wave on the sea and disappear! If you are lucky, you will be nailed directly to the other party's hull! The huge barb on the whaling fork will firmly hook the hull and prevent them from leaving.

After the sailors fired two whaling forks, they tied the rudder pole and sail neatly, threw torches on the deck and cabin, and watched the fire burn and jumped onto the boat to escape.

Then the unmanned arson ships on both sides intersected. During this process, some arson ships collided with each other, nailed each other by steel nails, and burned into a ball on the sea! They even blocked the route of other arson ships. Now there is a fire with five ships crowded together on the sea surface burning wildly!
