After a long period of entanglement, Wu Yizhou's fleet was finally forced closer to the island. This gives him less room to dodge. The encirclement became thicker, and the battle situation was very unfavorable.

Zheng Zhilong, who was watching the battle from a distance, was very satisfied with the scene in front of him. He was thinking of ordering Shi Daxuan to surround this fleet and force them to surrender. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a fire burst out in the middle of the deck of nine ships in the opponent's fleet!

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong even thought that there was something wrong with the other party's ship. Then he put the idea aside. If something goes wrong, it's not possible for nine ships to have problems at the same time. But he was too far away to see what was going on. We can only wait for the subsequent development.

And Shi Daxuan, who was closest to Wu Yizhou's fleet, saw it clearly! The center of the nine ships had been covered with tarpaulins, but now the tarpaulins were lifted to reveal a cannon as thick and stocky as a stump!

The fire was caused by this strange artillery fire! As the flames flashed, nine huge cannonballs rose into the air and smashed into the three nearest ships!

Shi Daxuan instinctively felt that it was not good! If such a large cannonball hits the deck, maybe it can really smash through the deck and bilge, and it is not impossible to sink a ship directly! So he stared at the landing point of the nine shells with great nervousness!

Eight shells missed, and the shells landed in the sea, causing little damage to the ships except for a jet of water. But one of the pirate ships was out of luck! The cannonball smashed through the roof of the shipbuilding and fell into the shipbuilding!

Just before Shi Daxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, with a loud bang, a huge fireball rose into the air! The ship's entire building was blown to pieces! The people on the deck were either dead or injured in an instant, and not a single person could stand up! Even the masts fell three times, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and the speed immediately slowed down!

Shi Daxuan looked at the miserable appearance of the ship and was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat! He couldn't help but imagine in his mind the scene of his boat being hit by such a shell, and it made him shudder!

To be honest, Shi Daxuan has consciously crisscrossed the sea for so many years, and he has really never seen such a strange cannonball! Not to mention the size, there are even explosions! That's amazing!

And it wasn't just Shi Daxuan who was frightened, but the pirates of the entire encirclement were greatly frightened! The miserable appearance of the ship tells them that getting too close to each other can be a big problem!

With the loud explosion, the sea suddenly fell silent. It seems that all the fighting has come to a halt! But the sailors of Wu Yizhou's fleet did not stop! They were even more overjoyed when they saw the results of the blossoming bullets! Hurry up and clear the load, and another round of artillery is fired!

Gunners

There is a tacit understanding of three ships in a group, each aiming at a target to shoot. After the first round of ballistic corrections, the second round of shooting became more accurate. Two of the three target ships were hit.

The front overtime of a ship was hit with two flowering shells. After two successive bangs, all the people on the foredeck disappeared! Two masts also fell. And the ship lost control, made a sharp turn to the right, and crashed into another pirate ship, causing an exclamation!

The other ship is like a copy of the first one! The shells hit the shipyard, and the huge explosion shattered the entire shipbuilding, not to mention, and caused a fire! Probably something flammable stored in the shipyard!

The pirates jumped with this new weapon that suddenly appeared, and the ship couldn't help but slow down! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Yizhou led the fleet to bypass the wrecked ships, break out of the encirclement, recharge back into the wide sea, and once again grasp the tactical initiative.

And Shi Daxuan saw Wu Yizhou's fleet passing through his encirclement, and jumped to his feet angrily on the ship! The pirates who cursed loudly could not carry out the order and let their opponents go in vain! But he also knew that it was his men who were afraid of the strange cannon.

This new cannon is terrible! As long as one shell lands on the ship, it can basically sweep the entire deck! And its ballistics are very strange, it is curved, and it is not at all something that the insertion row and the side of the ship can block! Especially with three ships wrecked on such cannons, how could the other pirates not be afraid!

Zheng Zhilong, who was in the distance, also saw this situation. Although he was a little frightened, he knew that in a battle with such a big difference in strength, not a few artillery pieces could change the tide of battle. His victory was only a matter of time, after all, there were also heavy casualties on the opposing fleet.

He glanced up at the sun and estimated the time. Then he whispered to the people behind him: "Send a clipper out to contact our ambush people, and let them approach slowly." It is estimated that noon should be the time for a decisive battle! ”

I have to say that Zheng Zhilong is indeed a good fighter at sea. He judged Liu Pei's combat intentions very accurately. And targeted preparations. Zheng Zhilong saw a clipper leaving his team and heading into the distance, so he turned his gaze to the sea again.

This time, Wu Yizhou no longer hid, and the heavy artillery and light artillery were used together, frequently forcing the pirates who were close to retreat, and escaped from the encirclement that was about to be formed several times. The pirates suffered heavy casualties, and in addition to the four ships that were destroyed, seven ships withdrew from the battle.

Zheng Zhilong, who was watching the battle, was not in a hurry, but Shi Daxuan, who commanded the battle, was very anxious! He is also one of the great tycoons on the sea, how can he be deflated in front of a group of novices? Where does this put his face?

So

Just after Wu Yizhou broke through the siege again, he ordered his boat to sail to the place where Wu Yizhou had just broken through. There was a ship there at the breakthrough that had been hit by four shots, and the ship was in shambles! It was this ship that turned its bow under artillery fire, allowing Wu Yizhou to break through the encirclement again.

When the boat approached, Shi Daxuan pulled a rope and jumped onto the boat regardless of it. The leader of the ship was probably stabbed by sawdust, and half of his face was covered in blood! He wiped his face and walked over to Shi Daxuan with a smile on his face.

He knew that Shi Daxuan was angry, but he was also very unhappy! This time, there is no benefit, not to mention, there are so many brothers killed and injured! He had already decided to fool Shi Daxuan away for a while, and then withdraw from the battle directly. No more dead people!

But he didn't want him to just walk in front of Shi Daxuan, and before he could speak, Shi Daxuan slashed over! The leader was caught off guard, and Shi Daxuan directly cut off his head with a knife in his hand! Shi Daxuan raised his foot and kicked the corpse into the sea, and shouted loudly: "If anyone cowers and doesn't listen to orders, they will all be killed on the spot!" ”

After killing people, Shi Daxuan casually assigned a person to command the ship, and he jumped back to the ship to command the fleet to surround it. He couldn't care about Zheng Zhilong's order to surround but not kill, and was determined to go all out to save his face.

The news that Shi Daxuan had killed a small leader quickly spread in the fleet, and the pirates were so frightened that they were silent! Now the pirates know that Shi Daxuan is really angry! Moreover, Shi Daxuan also let people pass down a sentence, which fully shows that this person is quite talented and strategic, and he is not a reckless man who only knows how to cut off his head.

He said: "Don't you feel embarrassed that a group of veterans who have been floating on the sea for decades have been tricked by a group of fish who have just learned to swim? ”

Encouraged by the threat of beheading and taunts, the pirates finally mustered up the courage to attack with all their might. As soon as the pirates let go of their hands and feet and attacked regardless of losses, Wu Yizhou's situation immediately became difficult! Although the sailors in his fleet are highly trained, experience is not something that training can completely solve! So the whole situation quickly tilted in favor of the pirates.

The two sides were entangled in the sea for nearly an hour, and finally the pirates captured the fighter plane. There were two ships in Wu Yizhou's fleet whose sails were damaged in many places, and their speed inevitably dropped a lot. They had to follow the action at the back of the line, while the sailors were still hurrying to mend the sails.

Just as they broke through a breakthrough again, the two ships were too slow, and they were slammed into each other by two pirate ships on the side! Hit by the latter, the two ships almost completely stopped moving. The sailors on both ships were rocked to the ground by the rocking hull. They desperately got up and tried to escape, but it was too late!
