"Full sails, oars, accelerate, flip them with the bow of the boat!" You Yongxian shouted loudly. He is the first favorite general under Pu Shougeng, sometimes an official, sometimes a thief, crisscrossing the sea for many years, and will never let go of capturing powerful fighters.

Fifteen iron-topped warships suddenly accelerated, and the sails of the ships opened together, like lotus flowers suddenly blooming on the sea. With the help of the wooden oars, the speed of the fleet suddenly increased to the limit, and it rushed towards the small dragon in front of him. It's like a shark that has only seen blood, and doesn't even think about whether there will be a steel fork and a giant net hidden in front of it.

Three thousand steps, two thousand steps, one thousand five hundred steps, one thousand three hundred steps. The distance between the two fleets was getting shorter and shorter, and You Yongxian could almost predict how many pirates would jump into the sea at the bow of his ship in the next moment. At this moment, he saw a row of small holes suddenly appear in the side of the other party's ship. Five or six, arranged in extraordinarily neat scores.

"Boom!" The sunlight on the sea suddenly dimmed, and more than a hundred flames shot out from the Fang family's fleet, smashing heavily into the middle of You Yongxian's fleet. A huge column of water splashed next to You Yongxian's ship, and in the roar, the hull of the ship slammed, and several pieces of deck flew into the air with thick smoke.

"Full sails, cut bevels, three dozen one" Fang Zhenyue's flagship quickly raised a row of colored flags. The pirate fleet, which had taken advantage, suddenly accelerated, drew a beautiful waterline on the water, and brushed diagonally past the flank of the Pujia fleet, firing its guns as it galloped.

In the distance, the big boss Fang Sheng smiled and put down his clairvoyance. There was no suspense in the rest of the battle, and Fang Zhenyue, the leader of the younger generation of the Fang family, gave full play to the advantages of artillery. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sea was already covered with broken masts, broken sails, and sailors struggling and crying for help. Those all belonged to the Pu family, and the Fang family had five ships in the fleet, and they didn't even let the opponent catch a single hair.

"Great master, miracle, miracle!" Master Huang Yi'an disregarded his identity and jumped high on the deck. The other pirates cheered, swords and daggers thrown into the air, and then took them in a trick.

They couldn't help but be excited, in order to buy these special ship cannons from the money-hungry Prime Minister Wen, for more than half a year, the pirates had been living almost with their belts strained.

At the beginning, the craftsmen of the old nest still tried to imitate it, but as a result, they wasted all their efforts, and the guns they made had a short range, and the refined copper consumed by each cannon exceeded the cost of buying artillery.

Not only did they have to buy the artillery, but they also had to pay for the damn shells, and they had to pay for the blueprints to rebuild the battleship. The original catapult machinery on the battleship had to be dismantled, and the weight distribution had to be rebalanced. The sides and the deck on which the gun mounts were placed were to be reinforced.

The standard firing scheme proposed by Wen Tianxiang was that each ship could hold eight to twelve guns on one side, and each ship could carry 16 to 24 guns. But later, the Fang family really couldn't afford to pay such a big price. Five gunboats, each carrying ten guns, five on each side. In this way, an artillery fleet that "cut corners" was born, and as soon as it was born, like a reborn phoenix, the tail of the flame unfolded.

On the sea, the two fleets continued to wrestle. After being caught off guard and losing three warships, You Yongxian's brute strength was stirred up by the blood of his subordinates. Commanding the remaining twelve ships, braving artillery fire to move closer to the other side, trying to use the numerical advantage to engage the opponent in a broadside battle.

Five artillery ships glided across the sea like dragons, equipped with new sails and rudders, and they were much faster and more capable of turning than the old Cantonese ships. In the clairvoyance, the dragon's tail swung slightly, and the three battleships in the back opened fire at the same time.

With a roar, another enemy ship was smashed in two. The one-sided firepower advantage and the performance of the ship made the sailors under Fang Zhenyue's command more and more calm, and the more they fought, the more confident they became. With each shot, three or four ships opened fire at the same time, concentrating on striking the same battleship of the opposing side. And the distance was within 800 steps. This greatly increased the original hit rate of less than one-tenth, and after a few circles, You Yongxian's fleet had only six warships left.

The newborn morning sun shone on the sea as red as a fire, and in the midst of the fire, the brothers of the Left Wing Army who had fallen into the water struggled desperately and cried. The lucky man, holding the plank that fell into the sea after being shattered by artillery. Most of the unlucky ones can only wait in the sea for their opponents to show mercy and capture them. There is no need to count on one's own warship, and the people on board and those in the water only have the difference between early and late time falling into the water. Every time the enemy fired, it caused great damage to the warship, and some sailors could not stand the pressure of being beaten and unable to fight back, so they picked up the materials used to repair the deck on the ship and jumped into the sea on their own initiative.

"What a literary maniac, it's not a shame that I harassed Liangzhejiang for him and lost so many brothers!" Fang Sheng muttered silently in his stomach, and reached out to wipe the corners of his eyes. In exchange for these new weapons, the pirates paid a huge price, not only to pay wages, but also to meet a series of additional requirements, such as harassing Hangzhou, attacking Su Chang, and so on. Although Wen Tianxiang did not make an appointment with the pirates, in order to get the supply of weapons as soon as possible, the Fang family did their best to fulfill their promise.

"Stick it in, get closer, keep their trebuchets out of reach! Aim, those shells are all silver and life in exchange, don't smash the water" Fang Zhenyue's voice was already so excited that he changed his tune. This is a tactic that he has practiced many times on the sea, condensing the wisdom of more than a dozen senior masters of the Fang family. Under the command and coordination of the flagship, his fleet always glided at a distance of about eight hundred to a thousand paces from the opposing side. You Yongxian tried several times to disperse the attack and disrupt the pirates' formation, but was beaten back by artillery. Later, the sails of several iron-tipped ships of the Pujia fleet caught fire one after another, and they were no longer able to complete any tactical movements. can only circle around the sea, helplessly withstand the continuous shelling of the other side.

"Sail shadow is found in the direction of the port, and the enemy brigade is attacking!" On the mainmast bucket, the lookout waved the signal flag vigorously. After fighting for half an hour, the Pu family's fleet was finally alarmed by the sound of cannons and wolf smoke on the sea, and hundreds of warships poured out, reflecting the daylight, and killed the battlefield.

"The young master, the old master asks if you want to support!" Another lookout reported. Fang Sheng, who was watching the battle from a distance, was afraid that his son would suffer a loss, so he mobilized his own warship and slowly moved forward.

"No, tell the old master, let him watch the battle, cooperate, I want to stand up for the Fang family today!" Fang Zhenyue shouted in high spirits. Lead the fleet and pounce on the next ship on fire.

"Spectator, cooperate, and stand up!" The main fleet, Master Huang Yi'an asked puzzled. The young master has always been bold, he knows this. But there were more than a hundred warships on the other side. No matter how good the five gunboats are, they don't have the strength to compete with a hundred battleships.

"Don't worry about it, do what the kid tells you!" Fang Sheng proudly passed on the order. Fang Zhenyue is his youngest son, and he has always had confidence in this son's understanding and ability.

Several pirate leaders saw the command on the flagship and raised their clairvoyants in bewilderment.

In the clairvoyance, under the rising sun, they saw a stunned scene. The five warships, led by the Walrus, quickly approached several Pujia patrol boats that were struggling on the water. From a distance of 1,000 steps to 200 paces, suddenly, several ships fired at the same time, smashing shells into the side of the opposing ship.

At such a close distance, the patrol boat, which lost control, simply could not dodge. The sailors watched as the cannonballs whizzed and plunged into the belly of the ship beneath their feet. Then, watching the sea fade away, watching his body slowly splash off the shattered deck.

Looking at it, the brilliant morning glow and dazzling sunshine on the horizon opened its arms to himself.

The last few patrol boats were sunk in an instant at close range. Fang Zhenyue looked at the struggling enemy troops on the water with pity, waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to raise the signal flag again. The other gunboat leaders who saw the signal laughed maniacally, leading their minions to cool the barrels with seawater while adjusting the rudder to keep their gunboats behind the Walrus.

Five gunboats, proudly puffing out their sails, slaughtered the Pujia fleet that attacked the harbor. The sun behind the sails is as dazzling as fire.

"Report, General, the enemy ship has been killed!" The lookout slid down the cable and knelt on the deck to report. Several sailor generals turned their heads, and their expectant eyes fell on Pu Shougeng.

Pu Shou Geng is their backbone. This resolute and brave general, for decades, while colluding with pirates to hijack merchant ships, while soliciting a small group of pirates to invite merit, from a small official, quickly climbed to the post of pacification envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Then, before the war situation was clear, when the Mongols had just crossed the Yangtze River, they sent their henchmen to collude with Kublai Khan and betray the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for a higher official position. It can be said that in the era of chaos, General Pu's judgment was correct in every step, and he was ahead of others in every step.

However, at this moment, this wise general is obviously like his subordinates, and he is confused in front of new things. They all saw the final blow that the pirates had dealt to You Yongxian's fleet just now. No one could have imagined what would happen to this little dragon when it entered a dense fleet.

The tiger enters the flock, and that's it. Several generals flinched, their steps slowly moving backwards. Lianzhou, knotting water villages, and building floating cities, these conventional water warfare methods are too late, and they are attacked, and You Yongxian's fate is in front of him, and no one wants to take this head.

"All the battleships scattered, beat the drums, and rushed up to engage in the battle!" Gritting his teeth, Pu Shougeng made the right choice he could think of.

The generals quickly ran away along the planks between the battleships, and the heralds rowed their boats, quickly conveying the order to prepare for a group fight. In the face of unprecedented weapons, this unprecedented method of warfare can only be adopted. The low-ranking general hesitated and spread his ships as far as he could. The clever sailor realized the psychology of his superiors, and quietly pulled the wooden sails of the main general's ship, reducing the speed of the battleship to death.

Under the sun, more than 100 warships were scattered across the sea like flocks of sheep. The Walrus swooped down with the fleet, and the direction was slightly deviated halfway, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, it swept past the perimeter of the Pujia fleet.

At the nearest point, it was only 300 steps. The stone eggs and fish oil eggs shot by the Pujia fleet flew past the sails, smashing countless water columns around the Haizi fleet. The Walrus bounced through the waves, leaping at the top of the waves and falling at the bottom of the waves.

"Look for the nearest target, shoot!" Fang Zhenyue ignored the flying stone projectiles around him and decisively waved down the command flag. The side portholes snapped open, and five shells plunged headlong into the cabin of the nearest enemy ship with a long flaming tail. A terrible fire rose from the sea, and the shattered deck flew into the air along with the sailor's limbs.

Desperately threatened by stone shells, sea wolves, seals, sea lions, and sea sharks all fired shells at the nearest enemy ship. At this distance, the artillery fired flat, and the chances of hitting surged. Although his own battleship has also become the object of the other party's trebuchet, those stone projectiles can't hit so accurately, and they don't have as much destructive power as flowering bullets.

Five gunboats, quickly disengaged from the enemy, leaving behind a pile of broken planks. Before Pu Shougeng had time to exhale pain, far away, the gunboat that had adjusted the angle of the sail came back and cut towards the Pujia sailors from the other side.

Just like cooking, two ships that had no time to dodge were sent to the bottom of the sea. Enraged, the sailors set sail in hot pursuit, but the wooden sails were slow to adjust, and by the time they found the right direction, the pirate's gunboat had sailed to another angle. (Hard sails are commonly used sails in Chinese seafarers, which are made of wooden strips and are strong, which can greatly save the number of sail operators.) But it's not efficient. ）

Thousands of "water ghosts" jumped into the sea with gourd rods in their mouths, and Pu Shougeng promised a huge reward for them to risk their lives to scuttle each other's gunboats. In the clairvoyance, Fang Zhenyue saw all this clearly, and the fleet went around in a circle, slowly shortening the distance with the several Pujia warships that were chasing after him.

Several warships staggered at a distance of two hundred paces, and the gunboats under Fang Zhenyue's command overturned one of the opposing warships, and the Sea Lion was also hit by a fish bomb, and huge flames broke out on the sails.

"Cover, sea lion change sails", under the command of Qi Yu, the four sea warships circled around the injured sea lion. More than a dozen Pujia battleships tried to get closer, but they were all fired back by artillery.

On the surface of the sea, strings of bubbles emerge. Thousands of "water ghosts", biting reed poles, swam desperately to the battlefield. In front of the water ghosts, they also pushed several smoking Wuyan boats (a kind of cheap fishing boat, used by coastal ethnic minorities), trying to attack with fire and force Fang Zhenyue away.

"Bed crossbow ready, intercept the Uyan boat. Archers go to the deck and shoot floating targets! Fang Zhenyue decisively issued an order. On the deck of each ship, dozens of crossbowmen ran out, and the steel crossbows were raised and the crossbow strings were tightened. With the command of the crossbow arrows, hundreds of shiny steel crossbows were shot into the sea.

The trajectory of a steel crossbow without a feather tail is not altered by the sea, and the tip of the crossbow tears through the waves of water, tearing open the body beneath the surface of the water. Clouds of blood bubbled up the water, and the water ghosts who struggled to swim forward suddenly became live targets for the archers, moving forward, unable to pass through the dense rain of crossbows. Backwards, you can't escape the sniper fire of the marksman.

The bed crossbow was pulled apart with a squeak as it was driven by the rocker. With a loud bang, the crossbow rod broke through the air. The slow-moving Uyan ship was the best target for such crossbow arrows, and almost at the same time as it was hit, a high flame erupted. On the crossbow rod, the Fang family's homemade sulfur bag burned violently, burning Pu Shougeng's last bit of courage into the seawater.

"Beat the drums, retreat, let the main fleet feint!" Fang Zhenyue saw that the time had come and commanded loudly. On the Walrus, rumbling war drums sounded. After changing the sails and the Sea Lion, and a few other sea ships, the whole team once again circled on the water, like a lion hovering outside the flock, looking for the next target.

"Young village master, the cannon barrel is red, and the master of the Broken Army said that he can't fight anymore!" A small minion stepped forward and whispered.

"It's okay, don't get too close to the enemy, the Pujia fleet is already in chaos!" Fang Zhenyue said confidently. Not far from the sea, the old master Fang Sheng pressed up with the whole fleet, more than sixty ships, lined up into a long dragon, and the sides of all the ships were facing the direction of the Pujia fleet.

"Return to port, retreat, return to port, stay behind the fire to attack the ship!" Pu Shougeng shouted in panic. He had seen the power of artillery, both on land and at sea. If the Fang family's warships were equipped with artillery, each ship had five, and sixty ships would be three hundred guns. Three hundred guns fired in unison, and the Pu family could not afford to consume many warships.

Hundreds of warships fled into the harbor in a hurry. In the chaos, warships collided, and the sailors fell into the sea like dumplings. The companions behind showed no mercy, and set up the boat and sailed over their heads.

The Pujia fleet is over. Huang Yi'an stood on his ship and sighed lowly.
