If there is no intelligence, I am afraid that the Southeast Fleet will suffer a big loss, and even if the ship does not sink, the grounding cannot be avoided.

It is not good to be out of school, and it is disgraceful.

The pirate leaders were shocked, how could this be!

Could it be that the other party really has the blessing of Mazu Niangniang?

They didn't have the concept of a hydrographic exploration brigade and an intelligence bureau, and they didn't know that they had made an effort early, especially when they heard the sailors of the Southeast Fleet shouting from a distance: "Those who surrender will not die!" Hang 30,000 silver dollars to ask for Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi's heads! Hang 100,000 silver dollars to Li Kuiqi alive, do what he says, hand over the head to the silver dollar, and the Southeast Mansion will ensure his safety! ”

I've heard of such a bounty, but I'm shocked when I hear it!

With such a high amount of hanging red, Liu Xiang said to Li Kuiqi with a dry smile: "Brother, you are more valuable than me!" ”

Li Kuiqi gasped and didn't answer!

Liu Xiang was unhappy at first, but then she was relieved when she thought about it.

It is said that Yan Changwu, the lord of the Southeast Mansion, wants to capture Li Kuiqi alive and take him to the last fallen soldier to be killed!

People in civilized societies don't necessarily know what it means to chop alive, and ordinary people in feudal societies don't necessarily know it, but the guys who do illegal trading must know, because they swear by live chopping: "If my words don't count, I will be caught alive by the officers and soldiers ...... five thunderbolts."

In the past, it was just talking and not practicing, just talking about cannons, but now the warships are chasing behind, and once they miss, it will become a living fact!

Liu Xiang had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, and then thought that after this battle, if the other party won well, in case the other party suffered a loss, then he Liu Xiang would not have to "envy" Li Kuiqi's value, and he would also be equivalent to Li Kuiqi, or even higher.

Moreover, why the other party was able to avoid those reefs smoothly makes people wonder!

……

The sun was shining, and in the blue sea, two hostile fleets were chasing, the pirate ship fled to the west of the large and small spider islands, while the southeast fleet was in hot pursuit.

However, their speed was not completely exhausted, and the speed of the battleship was able to keep up, biting the pirate ship.

For long-lasting sailing, a plywood boat is completely stress-free.

Yan Changwu's command level is constantly improving, and at the moment he is not in a hurry, he has the chance to win, patiently waiting for the 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, it was the world of plywood ships, and the pirate ships would die a terrible death.

However, this can't last, but fortunately, Liu Xiang has a plan.

At first, Wailingding Island turned into a small black dot like a swarthy turtle-like monster floating on the sea, and the large spider island in front of it could see the sand and gravel reefs around the shore and the white spray of the surrounding reefs.

The pirate ship traveled along the edge of the small spider island through the sea between the small and large spider islands.

To Liu Xiang's surprise, the pursuers did not follow the trajectory of the pirate ship (so fast), but chased them from the sea area between the large and small spider continents.

If you follow a pirate ship, there is an underwater sandbar hidden beneath the sea, and ships with deep drafts can also run aground or run aground!

The Southeast Fleet has never been here, how can it be possible to know the mysteries here so clearly!

Like a walk in their own homes, Liu Xiang and Li Kuiqi felt a chill in their hearts, and they glanced at their brothers, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.

But thinking of his head of 30,000 silver dollars, if he recast 30,000 silver dollars into a human head, it shouldn't be a problem, and then he thought that the killers in Yuegang could kill people for just ten taels of silver, and dared to kill officials for a hundred taels of silver, 30,000 silver dollars, he could really buy many people's hearts!

As the so-called thief also has a way, it is strange to say, whether it is Liu Xiang or others, they all believe that Yan Changwu of the Southeast Mansion will do what he says!

He doesn't have the benefits of nonsense, everyone knows that he counts when he talks and keeps the contract!

……

The pirate ship went west along the edge of the small spider island, followed by the Southeast Fleet.

In the chase, two pirate ships were left behind, and his brothers watched as they moved farther and farther away from him, and the two cruisers of the Southeast Fleet caught up!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The two cruisers each grabbed a pirate ship to attack, the cannon roared, and the pirates in the distance frowned, this is not just the sound of a 12-pounder gun, this is a heavy artillery!

The stragged pirate ships all have "composite armor", that is, broken nets are all over the place, wet quilts are hung on the nets, and there are several layers! The hull of the ship was nailed directly with cowhide, and large and small water urns were hung.

I had blocked the broadside guns of the Southeast Fleet before, but this time it was a catastrophe!

18-pounder gun!

The cannonballs flew out and hit the pirate ship, and the broken nets and quilts and water urns obediently gave way, and the cannonballs easily hit the hull.

Wood chips splashed and cracks burst in the hull!

The wooden ships were frozen, and the pirates were terrified.

As the composite armor passed by, the pirate captain shouted, "Quick! Fast! Lean on the help, stick it over! ”

The opponent's long-range attack is sharp, and only the broadside battle has a chance to survive.

With bloodthirsty eyes in their eyes, the pirates steered their ships and struggled to get closer to the enemy's ships, and they approached.

The pirate ship is a small boat, and from the top of the cruiser, it emits a metal storm that sweeps through the pirate ship like a rain of metal!

Bullet!

Cannonballing!

Needless to say, there were many muskets on the battleships of the Southeast Fleet, and the deck guns lowered their muzzles and fired grapegre bombs at the decks of enemy ships!

Taught by the British, this grape bullet consisted of a series of spherical projectiles made of wrought iron packed into a cylindrical white iron shell, which was filled with a cover plate and inserted between the cylinder base and the charge.

When fired, the shell was shattered, like a projectile the size of grapes, like a flock of sparrows, the grape shell scattered, crackling and hitting the pirate ship, and the person touched a small projectile was a big hole, and blood flew out!

The accuracy of the muskets and artillery of that period was low, but it couldn't withstand the many guns of the Southeast Fleet, and it was a pity that more than half of the people were killed and wounded on the open deck of the two pirate ships at once, and the flesh and blood were blurred!

What is a targeted, advancing with the times, a foot high and a foot high, and a sharper spear for attacking the shield!

In view of the last example of the composite armor attack, the Southeast Fleet has improved its tactics and achieved results.

The pirate ship is sideways!

The two cruisers ignored them and drove away, making it important to chase the opposing team.

The battleships behind drove over, set aside two cruisers, and beat the two pirate ships for twenty minutes, and then left it alone.

The poor pirate ship was broken and ruined, the wind leaked on all sides, there were dead people everywhere, and blood was all over the ship, and it was like two ghost ships floating on the sea......
