The Big Eater has been following the fleet for twelve days. During these twelve days, the pirate ship has gathered more and more, and it is almost at the edge of the strait. The waterway has become narrower. The Big Eater pirates who are ready to move seem to have negotiated.
Generally, a swarm of swarms rushed over.
"As expected!" Liu Renyuan put the binoculars into a leather bag and said to the deputy next to him: "They are worried that their meat will be divided up by others, so they are ready to take action."
The deputy smiled and said: "My subordinates have always wanted to know how powerful the Princess and Qingque are. Today we can test it. As long as we defeat the big cannibal, we can also calm the hearts of those merchant ship owners. When we get to the other side of the strait,
, and it won’t cause any trouble for us.”
The low horn sound sounded, and the Chengqian passed by the Princess and Qingque, which were turning around in a circle, and came to the front of the fleet, firmly guarding the entrance of the strait. His purpose was to guard the strait and prevent the other side of the strait.
The pirates on one side took the opportunity to attack the merchant ship.
The Princess inserted itself into the rear of the fleet along the zigzag channel, and the Qingque responded to his left and right, and Liu Renyuan prepared to use two ships to fight against the swarming pirates.
The water flow in the narrow waterway was turbulent, and the position of the Princess, which was facing the wind from its side, was not very good. During the battle on the water, by occupying the upper hand, it had already taken the initiative. The man-eating fleet now had this advantage.
There was no declaration of war, no conversation, or even a general attempt to persuade them to surrender. The pirate ship, with its two ends high and its bottom in the middle, with numerous oars protruding from the bottom, rushed over like an arrow driven by the ocean current. They very much wanted to avoid the two warships.
They attacked the merchant ships, but unfortunately the two giant ships were stuck in the ocean current. No matter how reluctant they were, they still needed to break through the interception of the warships before they could get past.
The first one to launch was the Qingque. A pirate ship headed by it used its own speed to pounce fiercely, intending to get close and then jump on the Qingque to seize the ship. The densely packed pirates were shirtless and holding scimitars in their hands.
Always be ready to fight with help.
Dongyu steered the Qingque's rudder and shouted, the adjutant beside him waved his flag, and the smoking crossbow flew to the pirate ship with a buzzing sound. The pirates were thankful that the crossbow did not take away their
When he was about to die, with just a bang, he flew into the air, danced and fell into the sea. Thirty crossbow arrows fired together, and the upper part of the pirate ship disappeared.
The two ships fired alternately, and the pirate ships that entered the ambush circle one after another did not even have a chance to fire an arrow, and they turned into torches or fragments. Occasionally, fish that slipped through the net would be killed by the stone hammer on the giant ship.
Smashed to pieces.
Liu Fang watched the battle for a while and then got out of the cabin. The old man really lacked interest in watching such a boring battle, so he muttered and got out of the cabin.
When the sea was covered with ship debris, the Big Eater finally felt fear and dumped a large barrel of black fire oil into the sea. After lighting it, the fire spread down the ocean currents. The Big Eater hiding behind looked forward to it
This fierce fire oil can burn these two terrifying giant ships.
Liu Renyuan ordered to get out of the waterway, and everyone lay on the bow of the ship to see the strange scene in front of them. This was a burning sea. It was originally a secret trick, but it would have no effect if it was used openly. The big eater didn't know
The thing is, these people in front of me are the ancestors of arson.
The fire rolled down, and the pirates who were struggling on the water holding the plank were wailing and swallowed up. The smarter ones tried to dive, but they couldn't escape the disaster, because no matter how hard they dived, they had to come out for air.
"They are planning to escape. They think they can stop us by lighting a fire? What a joke! This is the sea, not a river. This little kerosene can't even cover the surface of the sea. Blow the trumpet and we attack." There was black smoke on the sea, and Liu Renyuan discovered the kerosene behind it.
It was decreasing, and I felt keenly the cannibal's desire to escape.
Dongyu also discovered that his Qingque was closer to the big man-eaters and carefully skirted the burning waters. The wooden hull could not withstand the burning of kerosene, not to mention that the boat was filled with gunpowder.
After bypassing the fire area, I saw the remaining ten or so large food ships turning around in a hurry, trying to escape in a mess. How could it be so easy to turn around against the wind? Didn't the Qingque's U-turn make a big circle?
The pirates became even more panicked when they saw the monster-like Qingque peeking out from the thick smoke. The oars under the cabin rowed harder. They could only perform zigzag maneuvers when the wind was against them. This principle is suitable for all sails.
Although the powered ship has a paddle board, it still cannot escape this rule.
Yun Ye's giant ship has a triangular sail, which can help the warship turn around quickly. The cannibal's ship has a huge mast in the middle. If you want to turn around, you can only use the power of the paddle board, which is time-consuming and laborious. When they just completed the U-turn,
Before the mainsail was raised, the Princess rushed over from the side. Its bow was equipped with a huge ramming angle, and its tapered spikes pierced a pirate ship fiercely. The bow sank violently, and then
Lifted by the waves, with a harsh creaking sound, the pirate ship was torn apart alive by the collision. The upper deck was shattered inch by inch. The slaves below the deck watched in despair as the huge hull of the Princess ran over them...
…
The Qingque ignored the fleeing pirates and took advantage of a gust of headwind to quickly get in front of the pirates. Dongyu grinned and turned the ship sideways. Now it was better. The pirates couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
.
Forty-five merchant ships huddled in a small bay, waiting cautiously for the outcome of the battlefield. Thinking of the ferocity of the pirates, countless shopkeepers clasped their hands and sincerely prayed to the gods to bless their warships when they returned victorious.
He Tianshang stood on a merchant ship on the outermost side, tied up his clothes tightly, and was ready for the coming battle.
Since arriving in Lingnan, he has felt better. Yun Ye has arranged a very heavy workload for him. Almost from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning, he has to be busy until he goes to bed at night. He has no time to feel sorry for himself. Yun Ye treats him
Having said that, this so-called mental pain is very boring. It is a disease that needs treatment, and the best treatment is to work. If you don’t have time to suffer, it won’t be painful. People are forgetful.
After a difficult period of time, I looked back and realized that my past pain was so inexplicable.
"Mr. He, a lot of broken wood floated from upstream just now, and the guys also fished out a few pirates from the sea. It seems that Mr. Hou and the others fought well and gained the upper hand." Old Feng, as the leader of the merchants, came to He Tian
Shang came forward and said.
He Tianshang followed Lao Feng to the stern of the ship. The guys were urging the pirates to board the ship with whips. When a strong pirate saw He Tianshang showing his head and grinning ferociously, he rushed over. He Tianshang casually walked aside.
He took a step to dodge, and the horizontal sword in his waist flew by like a sword. The pirate's head flew up high, and the blood in his neck shot up into the sky, staining a large area of the deck red.
After killing a pirate, He Tianshang seemed not satisfied. He chopped off three heads in a row, leaving only two pirates lying limply on the ground. Then he said to the unfazed Old Feng: "I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Feng to find someone to talk to you."
, we need to know what happened ahead."
A capable man next to Lao Feng spoke briefly to the two pirates in an awkward dialect. Without any intimidation, the two pirates told them what they had experienced. They still don't understand why.
will fail.
"Mr. He, Uncle Jiu, and the Marquis were in front and almost killed all the pirates. However, the pirates were pouring oil into the sea and planned to attack with fire. They did not burn the Marquis and his ship. Instead, they killed all the pirates who fell into the sea.
They were burned to death. They swam faster than the fire oil spread, and they were able to escape."
A smile appeared on the corner of He Tianshang's mouth. This was the first time he smiled in almost a year. Two battleships can have such combat power. His Majesty will definitely be happy to hear such news.
Old Feng didn't think so much. He looked at the sporadic flames floating in front of him, and most of the depression in his heart suddenly disappeared. The big eater chased after him menacingly. They didn't even think that they were chasing a ferocious beast, right?
This beast not only eats people, but now it also eats boats. He just doesn't know if the big man-eater can feed these two terrifying beasts. He looked back with satisfaction at the Chengqian boat cruising back and forth at the mouth of the strait. There was another one here.
Hungry beast.
The battlefield soon became quiet. Under the threat of the huge stone hammer swinging back and forth, the remaining two ships lowered their sails. Shan Ying and Xi Tong jumped on the pirate ship and took over the entire ship.
Yun Ye liked to hang pirates on the side of the ship. This habit was completely inherited by the soldiers of the Lingnan Navy. So when Yun Ye and Li Tai came out of the cabin, the sides of the two ships were already densely hung.
Full of pirates.
The sharks kept jumping out of the water, trying to devour the bloody pirates. The captured pirates would not be able to escape the punishment of fifty lashes each.
There are two bandit leaders hanging on the corner, one of them seems to be very famous, named Zamuri. According to reports from the locals, this guy seems to have the name of the King of the Seven Seas, and is the real pirate king.
"Don't kill him yet. Ask him where the treasure is. Next time we go to sea, we will play a treasure hunting game. In fact, I regret finding the spices so early. I should have played for a while longer.
We didn’t go to the man-eating sea area, which is a bit of a pity.”
There is really nothing to say about the naval battle at this time. Apart from the collision, it is the shooting stick, and then the rocket. Everyone fights against each other. When they get close, they join gangs to fight. The competition is still about individual bravery.
The Princess and Qingque did not give the enemy a chance to get close at all. The terrifying range of the Eight Ox Crossbow basically ensured that they could completely destroy the enemy ship at a safe distance. The Eight Ox Crossbow arrows with gunpowder were almost as powerful as the artillery.
There is not much difference, except that the distance is not that far. Considering the poor accuracy of front-loading artillery, the Eight Ox Crossbow is currently the best choice.
