Chapter 106 Attack on Chicken Cage Bay

Before Yu Xiaotian completed the preparations for departure, the flying fast ship in Keelungburg rushed back to Nanri Island and told Yu Xiaotian the specific situation of the Spaniards.

The information brought back by this flying fast ship stationed in Keelung Fort is basically not much different from the information brought back by the carrier pigeon, but the details have to be improved a lot, so that Yu Xiaotian and his generals can have a more detailed understanding of the strength of the Spanish fleet.

With this information, Yu Xiaotian is even more in a hurry. The Spaniards are indeed limited in strength, and there are not many ships and troops sent, which makes them more confident.

After a period of busyness, the sea wolf's fleet was finally ready to set off. Each ship was loaded with enough food to meet the people on board for a month. In addition, it was also replenished with fresh water. As for the ammunition, it was enough, but these ammunition were placed in the bottom compartment of the waterline, and the war was carried out in batches. Take it out and put it on the deck to avoid being hit by the ammunition depot by enemy shells and causing martyrdom.

With the order of Yu Xiaotian, the Nanri Island dock once again beat the drum and sounded the cannon. The rumble of the gunfire spread all over Nanri Island. Many people heard the sound and ran to the seaside to watch the departure of the sea wolf fleet.

When the fleet set out this time, Yu Xiaotian did nothing to cover it up. The sea wolf now has enough strength to show its people. In the past two years, the sea wolf has used one victory after another to make the residents of Nanri Island and merchants trust them more and more. When the sea wolf began to gather a few days ago, most of them I heard that the sea wolf is going to go out to fight with people this time.

This time, the residents of the island are no longer like before. They are panicked when they hear that the sea wolf is going to fight with people. Now they have considerable confidence in the combat effectiveness of the sea wolf. More people are talking about not what to do if the sea wolf loses the battle, but discussing how much the sea wolf will be caught this time. Capture, how many enemy ships have been captured.

And among many residents on the island, some children have entered the military system of the sea wolf. Although these people are worried about their children, they have also received more preferential treatment from sea wolves.

However, all the direct military subordinates of the sea wolf will give special preferential treatment. Tian Fu will be halved. The young children in the family can also go to the sea wolf's school, and even if their children are killed or injured, as long as they are killed or injured on duty when working for the sea wolf, the sea wolf will give their families one A large pension, in addition, will also assume the obligation of partial support.

Seawolves will not abandon those who are unable to continue to work in the army due to public disability. They will retire from active service and be given quite generous pensions. In addition, they will be arranged to do what they can to ensure that they will not be abandoned and starved to death because they lose their ability to work after the disability. .

These measures are much stronger than their peers and even the government. Some of the sea wolf's injuries have been carefully treated. If they die, they can be buried in the martyrs' cemetery of sea wolves, and even worship their plaques in the loyal ancestral hall of the sea wolf martyrs' cemetery. Some people specially burn incense for these "martyrs" , keep the fireworks.

Yu Xiaotian's arrangement not only greatly improves the loyalty of the sea wolf masses, but also eliminates their worries, and also makes many immigrants completely tie the sea wolf's chariot, and lose both glory and prosperity with the sea wolf!

So when the people on the island heard that the sea wolf fleet was about to go on an expedition, they rushed to the dock or the shore to see off the sailing fleet.

And Yu Xiaotian also wore a single dress and stood on the double mast fastship as a handsome ship, inspecting the fleet under his hand.

Dozens of ships of different sizes began to ring their anchor one by one according to the flag order issued by the handsome ship. A group of sailors responsible for towing the shore of the large ship leaned up and dragged the cables. Under the hard rowing and rowing of the sailors, they slowly dragged the ship from the dock or berth and sent it to the mouth of the bay. Until they raise their sails and begin to take the upper hand and use them out of the bay.

Dozens of boats were neatly arranged in the bay, and the anchors from left to right sailed out of the dock and entered the wide sea. The sea wolf flag fluttered high in the fleet. Although there were only dozens of boats, it still gave people a strong sense of shock.

Yu Xiaotian took a long deep breath and turned his eyes to the sea in the distance. The sun reflected the sparkling light on the sea. The fleet integrated into this beautiful scenery made him sigh. This was another challenge, but he believed that he could still win another victory, because he has now With a fighting team, there are not many people on the sea who can stop him from moving forward.

Anthony's forehead was full of black lines, and he was helped up from the deck in confusion. Even his telescope didn't know where it had been thrown at this time.

A shell hit the side of his ship heavily, and the wood chips splashed out of the side of the ship. He almost sent Anthony, the fleet commander who was standing on the stern to command the battle, to his God. Fortunately, Anthony was blessed by God, but a sailor beside him was smashed into pieces by shells, and he himself splashed out. Beyond the blood, there was no injury.

But Anthony's mood has been extremely bad. He couldn't imagine that this group of Chinese pirates had such strong firepower, which he had never seen before. This kind of firepower, even if it was placed in Europe, was definitely not bad.

The Chinese pirates occupying Chickenlong Bay are stubborn like a stone. No matter how he demonstrates and threatens them, they will never give up the bay.

After leading the fleet to block the chicken cage bay, he blocked all the sea wolf ships in the bay, and made the fleet line up outside the bay, opened all the gun doors on the side of the ship's side, made a threatening gesture, and once again sent people to take a small boat to Peace Island to persuade the sea wolves to surrender. They can guarantee that The sea wolf members are safe and agree to let them take their ship's supplies out of here.

However, such persuasion still did not play any role. The interpreter sent was insulted by the leader of the sea wolf, threatening that if he dared to talk nonsense again, he would cut off his ears and told the interpreter that their sea wolves would never let this place, let Anthony do whatever he do, as long as they dared. Attacking Chicken Cage Bay, make sure they look good.

returned to the fleet and told Anthony the blackhead's words. The Spanish officers in the fleet were angry and felt that these damn dirty Chinese pirates were really ignorant of the current affairs and must use tough means to let them see their Spanish determination. .

Until this time, these Spaniards still held a contempt for the Chinese pirates and felt that with their strength, they only needed to give these Chinese pirates a few rounds of shooting. At that time, they should come down and get out of here.

Anthony did not despise the enemy in front of him as much as his officers, because he carefully observed the various defense facilities set up by the Chinese pirates in Jilong Bay and had a sense of worry, because after careful observation, he felt that the Chinese pirates and their other colleagues were very The big difference.

The architectural form here basically does not look like a Chinese fortress, but like a European-style bastion structure. How can he not know this thing? The fortress of the bastion structure is unusually strong, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary artillery to destroy, but it is not as simple as the previous Chinese fortress. If you go there, it will collapse with just a few shots. Duan, then you can be slaughtered by others.

And observing several forts here, he also found that the forts built by this group of Chinese pirates are exquisitely set up and can form a firepower network between each other, which is just a good example of blocking the mouth of Jilong Bay, while their main fort is in the bay and can't be fired on the sea, which shows that this group of Chinese pirates have been predicted in advance. It was expected that it might be attacked, and a complete fortifications was built here.

Although the number of ships he brought this time is not small and there are many artillery, even so, it is not easy to conquer here and drive these Chinese pirates out of Chickenlongwan.

But at this point, there is no possibility of negotiating and resolving this matter, and they want to get a good port in Taipei that can be attacked and defended. They really can't find a suitable place except here.

And there is a group of Chinese pirates who have fallen out with them, which is not a good thing for them in the future, so no matter what he thinks, they must conquer this chicken cage bay.

So after thinking about it, Anthony thought that although this group of Chinese pirates had built relatively complete fortifications, their cannons should not be many and it was unlikely to have heavy cannons, so relying on the strong firepower of their fleet, if they were beaten, they could not be able to suppress them. The pirates let them retreat and finally give up here.

Finally, under Anthony's order, the Spanish fleet began to attack Chicken Cage Bay five days after they arrived here.

Spanish ships unfolded outside the chicken cage bay, blocking the mouth of the chicken cage bay in a column. A cannon door was opened, and the loaded cannon door was pushed to the turret, revealing black holes one by one, pointing to several forts at the mouth of the bay.

With the change of the flag on the Antony ship, the flagship of the Antony first began to fire. On their ship, two layers of artillery decks were arranged on the upper and lower floors, loaded with more than 30 types of artillery, most of which exceeded 12 pounds of artillery, and the firepower was quite strong.

Although this ship is not a powerful guy among European sail warships, and even a second-class ship, it is definitely a fierce role in Asia.

The ship spewed flames from the side of the ship from front to back, and a mass of smoke rose. Suddenly, the smoke enveloped one side of the ship, and then there was a series of roars on the sea.
