Daming Haiku

Chapter 249 Sea of Blood and Fire

Although some of Chu Cai's ships were lucky enough to rush out of the bay, they hit the sea wolf fleet head-on and became the target of the sea wolf fleet. Some of the boats were not too strong. After being hit by a shell in the face, they were immediately knocked down, and some were lit up and began to burn. .

On the sea area around Houshan Bay, in just a short time, several broken boats floated across. These ships were bombarded by sea wolves' cannons. Some ships simply entered the water seriously and began to sink slowly, while some boats tilted heavily and dumped directly on the sea.

More Chu Cai's old ships panicked out of the fire and tried to highlight the bay. These ships have completely lost their unified dispatch and command and become a set of scattered sand to fight separately.

It can't be said that Chu Cai's men are all rice buckets. After all, these guys are from old pirates, and there are many outlaws among them. Some of the ship leaders on it see that the war is unfavorable, but they did not escape immediately. Instead, they began to rush to the sea wolf's fleet, trying to break away the sea wolf's fleet and mix with it. Fight, or lean up to fight with them.

But after all, they fought separately and no one came to command them. Such an assault did not play much to the sea wolf fleet with effective command. The sea wolf fleet had an absolute firepower advantage. The large and small cannons fired together, and these Chu Cai's old men could not get close to them.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter. At this time, the sun has jumped high from the sea level. At this time, the back mountain bay has turned into a huge fire. Dozens of old ships left the anchorage because they had no time to anchor and were washed into the anchorage by several fireboats of the sea wolf, causing a violent fire.

In this era, ships are all made of wood. Although the hull is always in a relatively humid state in the sea, it can't withstand the burning of the flames. After the ships near the fire were baked by the flames for a while, the high temperature quickly ignited the sails and hulls of their ships, turning them into fireballs.

The higher the number of ships on fire, the higher the temperature of the fire site. Next is the chain reaction. More and more ships are gradually ignited one after another because the temperature is too high nearby. At this time, there is wind blowing on the sea. The fire takes advantage of the wind to cause fewer and bigger fires and spread faster and faster.

Later, many of Mr. Chu Cai's men had no time to escape from the boat. They simply abandoned the boat and fled, jumped into the sea one after another to escape, and swam desperately to the nearby moving ships for help.

And Chu Cai Lao's subordinates subordinates to different shopkeepers. Although they have always been under the orders of Chu Cai Lao, they still care about each other and rarely cooperate with each other. At this time, the sea wolf's fleet blocked them and beat them wildly. Who dares to stop to save people!

Even if they saw someone swimming to their boat, they refused to stop the boat to help. At most, they threw down a few ropes. If the people in the water are lucky enough to catch it, they will be dragged into the boat. If they can't catch it, they will ask for more blessings!

Some divers desperately called for help in the sea, but no one cares about them at all, so they see that the water temperature is too cold. If they don't take a long time to soak in the water, they will have cramps. In order to survive, they have to give up asking their companions for help and turn around and swim to the shore.

This fell well. Some people just swam their boats on the water, but now they swam back to the shore again. Their lips were blue with cold. After landing ashore, they immediately hugged them and became regimental leaders.

This time, he suddenly attacked the sea wolf fleet, which can be said to be completely beyond the expectation of Chu Cai's old men. Unconsciously, they never thought that the sea wolf fleet could break through the network woven by the sentry they spread nearby. Unknowingly touched the front of their eyelids, with dawn At this moment, they began to attack them so that they were not given enough time to react and respond, so they were blocked on the shore and beaten.

The reason why Chu Cai's subordinates were beaten so badly is not because they are all rice buckets or cowards, but mainly because they did not expect it at all. In addition, the shopkeepers here did not form mutual coordination and command at the time of the accident. They robbed the ship and went to sea in their panic, and there was no Only under the unified dispatch and command, under their own battles, will they be beaten so badly by the sea wolf's fleet.

After the sea wolf fleet suddenly launched a raid, the people in the sea wolf fleet became much happier. This attack was very successful. Almost according to their original exercise plan, they copied their original idea and did not encounter decent resistance at all, leaving them like It's a live target to beat the enemy here.

The haze in everyone's hearts has been swept away. After launching the attack, the gunners on each ship are firing freely and crazily. Although * is a standard physical work, no one feels tired at this time. It's hot. Some people are even sweating and can't stand it. , simply turned off his clothes and started to work bare.

After each cannon was released, the gunners did not make any stay, and immediately began to clear, charge, load... Finally, they pushed the gun back to the gun door and began to light the gun again.

Just when the sea wolf suddenly launched a surprise attack on the fleet of Chu Cai's old men gathered in the back mountain bay, the ships led by Chu Cai also encountered trouble in the north bay of the sea wolf village.

Just as Mr. Chu tried to lead his men to launch an attack against the sea wolf village from the north, and the two sides began to exchange fire, the sky began to light up gradually. Suddenly, they heard a burst of gunfire from the back mountain bay as if it was boiling, and saw that the sky was constantly like lightning. When the flash of gunfire appeared, everyone, including Chu Cailao, was shocked.

The speed and intensity of this shelling are something they have never seen before. They can almost immediately confirm that this is by no means the shelling that their fleet can organize, and the attack on the island has not yet begun, and there is no reason to fire randomly. This is definitely not their people firing, so they can shoot such dense artillery. There is only one possibility left, that is, it was suddenly attacked by the sea wolf's fleet.

Old Chu Cai's scalp was numb and almost fell on the deck on the spot. He knew that he had a big deal today and calculated a big circle, but in the end he was calculated by this Yu...

Chapter 250 Fighting

Listening to the rumble of cannons from the west sea, looking at the flashing gunfire on the sea and the raging fire, Chu Cai only felt that the five interiors were burning.

He knew that he had been completely calculated by the sea wolf this time. This Yu Xiaotian was extremely insidious. In fact, his surname Yu was not fooled by him at all. On the surface, his fleet was scattered. In fact, this Yu did not demobilize the fleet at all, but hid it in a place he did not know. They are all preparing to give him a fatal blow from behind.

The boldness of Yu is also the only one he has ever seen in his life. He has never met such an opponent in this business for so long. The other party's fleet can quietly pass through the warning line of the sentry he sprinkled on the sea and touch his back without saying a sound.

And he and his men did not find their existence until the other party touched their backs, so the other party took advantage of the moment of dawn to start a thunderous blow to them.

This is also the fierceness of the sea wolf. The time and means they chose were so cunning that they did not give him a little time to prepare at all.

He couldn't figure out how the other party suddenly killed here without hanging lanterns in such a night without hanging lanterns.

But whether he can figure it out or not, the sea wolf's fleet still did this, making their raid seem so sudden that once he took action, his old Chu Cai and his men didn't even have time to prepare.

And after he found that the western fleet had been attacked, he also found a small fleet rushing straight behind him. At this time, the sky had begun to light up, and the other party's boat type could be seen in a hazy way.

After seeing the soft sails suspended by several ships led by him, Mr. Chu Cai felt shocked. Although he had never seen the divine ghost ship handed down by his subordinates, today in the light of the morning, he immediately recognized him at first sight of this kind of boat. The ghost ship that his subordinates talked about changed.

When Chu Cai recognized these ghost boats, he had to marvel at the beauty of these boats. The shape of these ghost boats is smooth, the hull is simple and capable, and there is no feeling of mud and water. It feels like a sharp sword out of its sheath. When people see it at first sight, they will naturally feel it. It must be very fast.

And today, these ghost boats also really showed their fast side. Several ghost boats rode the wind and waves and shot at them like several arrows from the strings. In a long time, they rushed not far behind them, began to adjust their course, and lined up and pointed the ship's side at the old support. Ships crowded around the mouth of the bay.

Mr. Chu Cai didn't care about appreciating these beautiful ships at this time. He immediately realized what he should do now, so he quickly ordered to stop the siege, turned the bow of the ship to highlight the bay, rushed west to rescue the ships on his side that had been attacked, and tried to reduce the losses.

At the same time, Mr. Chu Cai also quickly prepared his fleet to fight against these ghost ships of sea wolves that had rushed over, and tried to use their temporary quantitative advantage to kill these ghost ships first.

So Chu Cai's men, who were already in a panic, quickly turned the rudder and adjusted their sails, drove the boats out of the bay one after another and met the ghost ships that rushed over. The people on the ship began to load the earthen cannons on their ship in a hurry, and took up the crossbows, ignited the rocket, and made a request. The posture of beat these ghost boats.

But how could Luo Xianbin give them a chance to get close? Looking at the messy old Chu Cai's fleet, he habitually showed a trace of self-confidence and mixed with a sarcastic smile, and ordered: "Keep a distance of 200 steps away, slow down the ships, shell these bastards, and immediately turned back after rushing over, and then Hit them hard! Don't let these bastards get close!"

His orders were quickly transmitted in the form of flag language, and his ships immediately began to reply. The ships still maintained a vertical formation, slowing down the speed of the ship a little. The hull turned sideways and pointed the side of the ship at the enemy ships that rushed out of the mouth of the bay.

Just after the two sides approached within 300 steps, as the leading Luo Xianbin's two-masted canon began to fire the first shot, the sides of each ship immediately began to spew flames, and a series of cannons resounded across the sea in this area.

Although the displacement of these sloops and sloops is not large, the advantage of the structure of the hull itself is destined to enable them to carry more and heavier artillery than ordinary Chinese sailboats. Even the guns carried by light sloops are much larger than ordinary Dafu ships.

Although there are only five fast ships, nearly 20 six-pound guns and twelve-pound short guns can be fired at the same time on one side of the ship. These nearly 20 cannons were only a momentary time, and they shot a cluster of shells at these colorful old ships rushing towards them.

At a distance of 300 steps, these shells have been quite accurate to the size of the ship's target. The ships under the fastest running Chu Cai immediately raised fragments, and then there was a burst of exclamation.

Chu Cai's old face was like being kicked a few times. How ugly it was. He looked at the enemy not far away, but his men could not reach them. They could only be beaten by others, but there was nothing he could do. At this time, he understood that he had met the men of these ghost ships. How can you be deeply afraid of these ghost ships?

These ghost ships are powerful and equipped with large and small Hongyi cannons, which are far and accurate. They can completely ravage his ships with artillery beyond the distance they can fight back without worrying about retaliation.

No wonder several ghost boats turned his territory upside down within two months, killing so many of his ships and his men one after another, and finally finally set up an ambush. After paying a huge price, they only left one boat behind.

This kind of ship is really powerful and really difficult to deal with! Chu Cai sighed in his heart, and his eyes were full of envy and resentment, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing these ghost boats hit his men fiercely, his ships could only be beaten, but they were unable to fight back. Chu Cai had no choice, but his focus was not on these ghost boats at this time.

Although these ghost boats are powerful, after all, the number is small. He can be sure that. Otherwise, Yu Hailang only needs dozens of such ghost boats, which is enough to clean up his fleet. Now there are only these ghost boats, which shows that there are not many such ghost boats in their hands.

So for them, these ghost ships can only play a role in making, but they can't completely control the situation. At present, the most important thing for him is to take the fleet back to Houshan Bay to relieve the fleet that is being attacked by the main sea wolf fleet.

Mr. Chu Cai immediately ordered to beat the drums and sound the horn, so that his ships would temporarily leave these ghost ships. After grabbing the bay, he immediately rushed back to the back mountain bay where they left last night to relieve the remaining fleets docked in the back mountain bay.

His men are also old fried sticks. Of course, they understood what was the key at this time, so they continued to grab out of the bay mouth with the shelling of several sea wolf fast boats. Outside the bay mouth, without making any stops, they immediately began to turn the steering wheel and sails and drive westward, making up their mind to rush back to Houshan Bay first.

And Luo Xianbin did not entangle with them too much. After a burst of shelling with several his fastships, he sailed in front of Chu Cai's old fleet, but as soon as they passed the bay mouth and separated from the other party's fleet, he immediately began to turn around and rushed back from the west again.

At this time, more than a dozen other ships of sea wolves led by Liu Yidao, who were slower, also rushed up and stopped Chu Cai's old fleet. There was not much difference between the two ships, but the firepower Shanghai Wolf's fleet had a clear advantage.

Although some light ships are still loaded with ordinary old guns on these more than ten sea wolves, the slightly larger ships are loaded with six-pound guns, and they still have a great advantage in the firepower of a single ship.

As soon as the two sides didn't say anything, they immediately fought together. More than a dozen sea wolves' ships immediately bit together with these trapped beast-like Chu Cai's old ships like hungry wolves.

The sea wolf's ship grabbed a first hand. Before the other party was able to fire, it fired a row of guns at Chu Cai's old fleet. The shells fell into Chu Cai's old fleet one after another, but such a degree of shelling only hurt the fur and did not completely disrupt the enemy. The two sides kept facing each other and soon killed each other. Close to Fang.

The old men of Chucai finally got a chance to return, and immediately all the ships began to fire randomly, bombarding the sea wolf's ship with their messy cannons.

All kinds of messy cannons hit the sea wolf's ship like rain. The hull cracked, and the sails were immediately hit with holes.

However, the members of the sea wolf's ship did not show weakness at this time. All types of artillery continued to fire and fight back desperately. Both hulls were damaged, but the damage was not much. Relatively speaking, the damage of Chu Cailao's ships was more than that of the sea wolf ships.

Liu Yidao stood neatly at the stern of a lucky boat and closely observed the situation at sea. His fleet was relatively weak, and Chu Cai's old fleet had at least dozens of them at this time. He could only delay the other party for a while, but he could not defeat him, so he gritted his teeth. He shouted, "Give it to me and pester them!" Don't let them go there!"

More than a dozen ships he brought immediately adjusted their course and rushed towards the enemy head-on.
