Chapter 243 Another Plan
Master Zhou listened to the sound of the sea waves on the shore and suddenly had an idea and said to Chu Cailao, "Master, we have been trying to attack the sea wolf village on the island these days, but we have forgotten that our fleet still has a lot of cannons!"
Although the sea wolf cannons are sharp, after all, the number of cannons is limited. Why don't we try to let a group of ships attack the sea wolf village from the north of the sea wolf village tomorrow, and the brothers on the island will attack on both sides!
Under the attack of these two sides, the sea wolf village will definitely take care of this and lose the other. Maybe we will have a chance to attack and restrain! In addition, when watching the battle recently, we also saw that the gunpowder we used recently was very effective, which collapsed a section of the wall of the sea wolf village. Tomorrow we can choose some dead men to prepare more gunpowder and transport it to the bottom of the sea wolf village and light cannons together in several places.
Coupled with the offensive of the northern fleet, once two or three wall walls are blown up, even if the person surnamed Yu has three heads and six arms, I'm afraid he can't stop us from attacking the fortress. It's advisable to come to this fortress!
Even if we can't capture their big village tomorrow, if we really can't, we can only retreat, but we don't have to return to Dongshan Island first. We can go to the coast of Fuzhou first, at least so that the brothers won't be empty this trip back. In the future, it's not too late for us to clean up the surname Yu!"
After being reminded by Master Zhou, Mr. Chu Cai felt a little embarrassed. In the past three days, he only took his men to find a way to attack the sea wolf village on the island, but forgot that he still had two or 300 boats floating on the sea and it was useless!
If he attacked the sea wolf village from both the sea and the island according to Master Zhou, the sea wolf was originally understaffed. Although there were many cannons, the number was also limited. It was really possible to force the sea wolf to take care of the other and finally make a mistake to take the village.
And after his attack, the wall has been bombarded by his cannon. Many places are already crumbling. Today, a section of the wall was blown down with gunpowder. Tomorrow, you can use this method to give the sea wolf village again. In this way, it is not a dream to take down the village.
So Chu Cai became energetic and clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Master Zhou is so smart! I forgot that there are still so many boats! Come on, go and call the shopkeepers and say that I have something important to arrange with them!"
After a while, those shopkeepers yawned and were recruited from everywhere. When everyone was due, Chu Cai immediately told everyone about Master Zhou's plan.
"Gentlemen! Tomorrow we will fight for another day. If we can't take down the village, I will take you out of here! It's not too late to find another chance to clean up this surname!
And I won't let you run for nothing this time! We can not go back to Dongshan Island first. I will take you to find some other places along the coast of Fuzhou Prefecture. I'm sure you won't come back empty-handed this trip!
But in the last battle tomorrow, I hope you will do your best. As long as you take this sea wolf village, I can share most of what you have gained to make up for your losses! In the past, I took 50%. This time, as long as I take this village, I can only take 20%, and all the rest will be given to you!
Do you think this is possible?
After listening to this, these shopkeepers were refreshed, but the method that Chu Cai said was relatively effective. They have always made a living on the sea and rely on boats to make a living. This time, they are all lying on the island and attacking the sea wolf's village with a strong attack, but they forget that they still have so many boats. There are also many cannons on board.
Although the sea wolves have a lot of cannons, they are far less than the cannons on their ships. If they attack on both sides, the sea wolves will certainly not be able to mobilize all the cannons to deal with their ships. At that time, they will really have a chance to take this fortress.
Although they are a little desperate today, it doesn't mean that they are willing to return to Dongshan Island so in frustration. This time they came to fight the sea wolf village and really hit a pimple. No matter who they are, they have suffered heavy losses. Even up to this day, four shopkeepers have even folded themselves here. He was killed outside the stockade by the cannon of the sea wolf.
Although they really don't want to fight anymore, they are still unwilling to leave like this. Now the method that Chu Cailao has come up with sounds good, and Chu Cailao has also promised them to fight for another day tomorrow. If they can't fight again, they will take them and let them grab one along the way back. That's enough. In this way, even if they can't get off the sea wolf village tomorrow, at least they can fish for a full bowl in the coastal area on the way back, and the worst thing is not to make a trip in vain.
So after seeing hope, these people were still a little excited. Although the feeling of decadence was not swept away, at least there was no strong sense of depression when they just came over.
Seeing that it was not long before dawn, Mr. Chu Cai planned to start to act together on the sea and land at dawn this time. When it was dark, he first mobilized the ship and moved it to the north of the Sea Wolf Village to prepare for the attack, so he ordered the shopkeepers to go down and arrange it now. According to their different strength, each People pulled out a varying number of ships from their fleet, adjusted their manpower to board the ship, and now began to pull anchor and set sail.
So Chu Cai's old camp suddenly became lively again. The shopkeepers shouted and began to dispatch their men. Someone left someone to return to the ship. Both the island and the ship began to prepare. At dawn, they started to gamble to see if it could work today and take down this damn village.
After a lot of work, some ships gathered on the shore raised a series of lanterns, and also hung lanterns on the starboard, bow and stern of the ship. In the shouting of the ship, iron anchors and stone anchors began to be pulled from the bottom of the sea by them.
The ships began to slowly raise their sails, and slowly left the coast under the operation of the people on the ship, moved to the wider sea, and then moved westward under the leadership of a large ship to sail outside the bay north of the Sea Wolf Village.
The movement on the other side of Mr. Chu Cai naturally could not escape the surveillance of the sea wolf. When he saw the starry ships moving to the mouth of the bay outside Dazhai with lanterns, someone immediately notified Yu Xiaotian.
Yu Xiaotian got up and rushed to the wall north of the stockade with his guards, looking at the sea with binoculars.
About dozens of boats have sailed to the outside of the bay with the cover of night at this time and are sailing into the bay and approaching the side of Dazhai.
Although the vision was not good at night, Chu Cai's men lit lanterns to indicate the location of their ships in order to avoid the ship's collision at sea, which also exposed their whereabouts.
Yu Xiaotian immediately realized what Chu Cailao wanted to do and scolded the old fox in his heart. He wanted to launch an offensive against the sea wolf fortress from both sides at the same time, forcing his guards to take care of each other. It was clear that he was still a thief!
Without saying a word, Yu Xiaotian immediately ordered the northern forts to start preparing for the battle. Whether Tian Liang or not, as long as the enemy ship entered the effective range, it would immediately start firing and hit these bastards first.
The sea wolf troops on the fort on this side immediately took action. The six-pound guns and 12 pound guns were filled one after another. With the cooperation of the artillery group, they were quickly pushed to the gun door and began to aim at the gun under the order of the gun commander.
For a long time, flames erupted from the wall of the sea wolf village, and then there was a roaring sound of gunfire.
Old Chu Cai's men did not honestly follow Chu Cai's instructions. When it was dawn, they cooperated with the people on the island to launch an attack. On the first day, they learned the power of the sea wolf's cannon, so some of the leaders tried to use the cover of the night and drove close to the village first to fight for it at dawn. They can use the miscellaneous cannons on their ship to repel the waves.
So before dawn, some ships began to sail into the bay and approach Dazhai, but the angry lights on their ship exposed their whereabouts and became the target of the sea wolf gunners. As soon as they approached the sea wolf village, the cannons of each fort began to roar rudely.
The shells roared into the bay and began to fall into the fleet one after another. Some shells fell into the sea, stirring up waves, some shells accurately hit the hull, lightly smashed a large hole, and the debris from the ship flew wildly.
Chu Cai's old ship suddenly exclaimed again. At this time, he realized that their lanterns exposed their position, so they quickly extinguished the lanterns on the ship one after another, but it was too late. The shadow of their ship could be seen with the help of * light, which was not enough to prevent the sea wolf gunners from firing at them. It only affects the accuracy of some shelling.
Listening to the sound of gunfire, Chu Cai can't help scolding secretly, but there is nothing he can do about it. It's not a bad thing for the island to attract the attention of the sea wolf. Anyway, the fact that the island's troops will also start to attack Dazhai at dawn. Success or failure depends on today. .
Mr. Chu Cai slowly walked to the side of the ship, and his body swayed slightly with the shaking of the ship. He had had enough on the island these two days. Today, Master Zhou made this plan, and he also took the opportunity to return to his boat, leaving several trusted men to supervise the battle on the island, and he was ready to go to the sea to supervise the battle in person and attack the sea wolf. Dazhai.
And Chu Cai's old boat is a Dafu ship with strong workmanship and luxurious decoration. The hull of this ship is about 600 materials, even more than the 400 warships of the main force of the military sailors. The displacement is about 400 tons. Looking at the coast of the Ming Dynasty in this era, such a large ship has been rare. After Zheng He went to the West, the seaboat construction technology of the Ming Dynasty began to shrink. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were few more than 400 ships.
