Chapter 228: Chasing the pirate ship
If there is no intelligence, I am afraid that the Southeast Fleet will suffer a big loss, even if it does not sink the ship, it is inevitable to run aground.
was unfavorable and made a mess.
The pirate leaders are surprised, how is this possible!
Does the other party really have the blessing of Mazu?
They don’t have the concept of a hydrological exploration team and an intelligence bureau, and they don’t know that they have worked early, especially when they heard from a distance the sailors of the Southeast Fleet roared: "Those who surrender will not die! The red 30,000 silver dollars are for Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi. The head of a man! A hundred thousand silver dollars are placed in red for Li Kuiqi to live. If he does what he says, he will be handed the head to the silver dollar, and the Southeast Mansion will guarantee his safety!"
Although I have heard of such a reward, I was shocked when I heard it!
With such a high amount of red, Liu Xiang smiled dryly and said to Li Kuiqi: "Man, you are more valuable than me!"
Li Kuiqi panted, but didn't answer!
Liu Xiang was unhappy at first, but was relieved when he thought about it later.
said that it is not afraid that it is false. It is said that the southeast palace lord Yan Changwu wants to capture Li Kuiqi alive and take him to the last time the dead soldier is killed!
People in a civilized society don’t necessarily know what it means to be alive, nor do ordinary people in a feudal society, but the guys who do illegal trades must know, because they swear by living apologize: "If I say nothing, After five thunderstorms in the sky, I was caught alive by the officer..."
It used to be just talking and talking, but now the battleship is chasing behind. Once it misses, it will become a living fact!
Liu Xiang had a feeling of sorrow for the death of the rabbit and the fox, and then thought that after the battle is over, if the opponent wins, if the opponent loses, then he does not have to "envy" Li Kuiqi's valuables. He will also wait with Li Kuiqi. The price is even higher.
Moreover, why the other party can avoid those reefs smoothly, it is puzzled!
……
The sun was all over the world, and in the blue ocean, two rival fleets were chasing. The pirate ship fled to the west and the big and small islands, while the southeast fleet was in hot pursuit.
But their speed has not been fully exhausted, and the speed of the battleship can keep up, biting the pirate ship.
For long-lasting sailing, the splint boat shows no pressure at all.
Yan Changwu's command level is constantly improving. He is not in a hurry for success at the moment, he is holding the winning ticket, and patiently waiting for his opponent to reveal his flaws.
The pirate ship pulls its sails to make the wind, and stretches out its long oars to speed up.
They didn't flee to the open sea. That was the world of splint ships, and the pirate ships would die miserably.
But this can't last, but Liu Xiang has a plan.
Outer Lingding Island first turned into a small black spot like a swarthy turtle-like monster floating on the sea surface, and Dazhizhou Island in the front can see the sandy reefs on the shore and the white waves impacting the surrounding reefs.
The pirate ship traversed the sea area between Xiaozhizhou and Xiaozhizhou along the edge of Xiaozhizhou.
What surprised Liu Xiang was that the chasing soldiers did not follow the trajectory of the pirate ship (so fast), but chased them from the sea between the big and small Zhouzhou.
If you follow the pirate ship, there are underwater sandbars hidden under the sea, and the ship with deep draft will also run aground or hit the rocks!
The Southeast Fleet has never been here, how could it know the mystery here so clearly!
Like a walk in their own homeland, Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's hearts grew chilly. They scanned their brothers, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
But thinking of my head of 30,000 silver dollars, if I recast 30,000 silver dollars into a human head, it shouldn’t be a problem. Then I think that the killer in Moonport can kill people for a mere ten dollars, and dare to kill for a hundred dollars. Guan, thirty thousand silver dollars, can really buy many people's hearts!
As the saying goes, there is a way to steal, and it is strange to say, whether it is Liu Xiang or others, I believe that Yan Changwu of Southeast Mansion has done what he said!
He doesn't have the benefits of nonsense, everyone knows that he counts and abides by the contract!
……
The pirate ship headed west along the edge of Xiaozhizhou, with the Southeast Fleet behind.
In the chase battle, two pirate ships fell behind. His brothers watched them getting further and further away from them, and the two cruise ships of the Southeast Fleet caught up!
Boom! boom! boom!
The two cruise ships each grabbed a pirate ship and attacked. The artillery roared, and the pirates in the distance frowned. This was not just the sound of a 12-pounder gun, it was a heavy artillery!
The pirate ships that lag behind all have "composite armor", that is, broken nets are all over the net, there are wet quilts hanging on the net, and there are several layers! The hull was directly nailed with cowhide, and water urns of various sizes were hung.
once blocked the Southeast Fleet’s side artillery attack, this time it was doomed!
18-pounder!
The cannonball flew out and hit the pirate ship. The broken quilt, cowhide and water urn obediently gave way, and the cannonball easily hit the ship.
Wooden sawdust splashed, cracks exploded on the ship!
hit the wooden boat to freeze, the pirates were shocked,
As a result of the composite armor, the pirate captain exclaimed: "Quick! Quick! Please help~www.wuxiaspot.com~Post it!"
The opponent's long-range attack is sharp, and only the side battle can have a ray of life.
The pirates had bloodthirsty gazes in their eyes, manipulating the ship, and leaning hard towards the enemy's ship, they approached.
The pirate ship is short, condescending from the cruise ship, and the pirate ships were swept away by metal storms like rain!
Bullets!
Cannon shot grape bullets!
Needless to say, there are many muskets on the battleships of the Southeast Fleet. The deck gun lowers the muzzle and shoots grape bullets toward the deck of the enemy ship!
This grape bomb was taught by the British. It consists of a series of spherical projectiles made of wrought iron packed into a cylindrical white iron shell. The projectiles are loaded into the shell. After being filled, the cover is sealed, and the cylinder base is placed on the base of the cylinder. Insert a wooden bullet seat between the medicine.
When launched, the shell shattered, and the grape-sized projectile flew like a flock of finches. The grape projectile scattered and hit the pirate ship with cracks. When the human body encountered a small projectile, it was a big hole, and blood flew!
The accuracy of the guns and artillery of that period was low, but they couldn't hold the Southeast Fleet. There were many guns and more guns. Poor two pirate ships killed and injured more than half of the people on the open deck at once.
What do you mean by aiming, advancing with the times, the road is one foot taller, the devil is taller, attacking the shield with a sharper spear!
In response to the previous battle against composite armor, the Southeast Fleet improved its tactics and achieved results.
The pirate ship went sideways!
The two cruisers ignored them, and went away, focusing on chasing the opposing brigade.
The battleship behind came over, leaving two cruise ships specially set aside, and beating the two pirate ships fat for 20 minutes, and then left it alone.
The poor pirate ship’s mast was broken and destroyed, the wind leaked on all sides, people were put to death everywhere, and the ship was full of blood, floating on the sea like two ghost ships...
