Chapter 877: The Great Fire

A terrible thing happened, the thirty Cochin warships that blocked the estuary inexplicably first burned the cables, and then with a raging fire, they were pushed by the river and the burning remnants of the sails, and squeezed towards the chaotic fleet of Pu Shima!

More than 300 large and small pirate ships were crowded in the harbor, unable to move if they wanted to, and the ships inside tried to pull anchor and turn around, but were blocked by the ships outside. You block me, I block you, I can only watch as the Cochin ship with fire crashes into the group of ships that have fallen sail!

"Boom!" On a Cochin ship, the newly installed fierce fire oil tank exploded, instantly turning more than a dozen surrounding warships into a fire.

Pu Shima's heart was broken, and another proverb that his good brother once told himself sounded in his heart - there is an enemy in the house, and it is worse than a thousand outside the door!

Now he finally understands that the boy must be the nail buried by Song Jun in his army!

He didn't care about returning to the King Kong, so he grabbed his subordinates: "Hurry up and turn the sail and rudder, and get out of here!" ”

At this moment, his subordinates pointed to the open sea with a shocked expression: "King! Song Jun is here! ”

Two miles away from the bay, the Taishan was the first to drop anchor, and the Zhiyuan and Ningyuan were inserted into the fore and aft positions on the starboard side of the Taishan.

Then Hangzhou, Huzhou, Mingzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, Meizhou, and then inserted into the front and rear positions of the starboard side of Zhiyuan and Ningyuan.

There is also a luxurious Flying Fish, because it has no long-range firepower, it can only follow behind the Taishan to play soy sauce.

If Zhao Ji was here, he would definitely feel extremely comfortable, the card position was so accurate, it was even neater than the Jinming Pool Water Master!

Some of the pirate ships began to turn to raise their sails, and although the Song army came quickly, there were only nine of them after all, and they still had the courage to fight.

There is no need to convey the tactics anymore, swarming, relying on help, boarding the ship and hand-to-hand combat, this is the real traditional way of fighting.

The fire behind them and the terrifying howls of their companions also became a source of their courage, and now they would rather face a big ship like the Tarzan than face the sea of fire behind them.

The hatch of the Tarzan opened, and the giant ship with thirty guns began its own roar.

The deafening sound of artillery echoed in the bay, and the fifteen shells drew a low parabola in the faint white smoke, and with an almost flat trajectory, carrying ten catties of dead weight and an initial velocity of nearly 500 meters per second, they roared towards the center of the ship group two miles away.

There was no need to aim, and the remaining seven battleships followed closely to join the ensemble.

Violent explosions swooped out one after another in the pirate ship group, countless columns of water exploded into the sky, and steel ammunition rampaged, directly cutting off countless fragile pirate ships.

The outermost Kongo was the target, and five Thunderbolt shells hit the giant in the group almost simultaneously, two of which exploded under the hull, two flattened the bow, and one blew the huge stern rudder to pieces.

Beside the Vajra, he watched with horror as the great ship, once proud of its three-story bow, now groaned and disintegrated like an old and sick woman in a storm of steel two miles away, and then leaned away.

Countless sailors were thrown into the air by the huge shock wave, or fell from the high ship's building, and many more cried and jumped down from the ship that began to capsize.

Sun Neng had already been transferred from Wei Shouan's ship to the Taishan as the fleet's artillery commander.

Looking at the bay with a huge binocular theodolite, Sun Neng ordered the clerk beside him: "Inform the ships to clean the perimeter first, and use the wreckage of the enemy ships on the periphery to block them in the bay!" And aim at the bow fire tanks and make them burn! ”

"Yes!" The clerk wrote down the order and handed it to the signal corps.

The role of the registrar is to translate the commanding orders into simple instructions, and the presence of the registrar is still necessary while the fleet is still groping.

Sun Neng's words translated into the flag are: "The target enemy is on the periphery of the enemy formation, focusing on the No. 1 area of each ship." ”

The first round of artillery fire was just a test fire, so everyone was invariably aiming at a big target or a central area.

It is equivalent to hitting a static target, the difficulty is much lower than the daily exercise, and the second round of artillery fire of the fleet was immediately adjusted, and the hit rate was extremely high.

The enemy ships on the periphery were still slowly accelerating to turn, and the overwhelming artillery fire covered the sky, more than a dozen pirate ships resounded with violent explosions, and several ships were directly hit by the fire cabinet, and the sparks in the sky sprayed into the sky like huge fireworks, and then turned into a meteor shower, falling towards the bay.

Liu Shiheng, with the pirate subordinates of the Great Song Dynasty and some New Army marines, had already taken advantage of the chaos to occupy various important places in Macheng and planted red flags respectively.

The sentry tower at the highest point of the harbor, Liu Shiheng led the team to touch here, a sentry was already frightened by the hellish scene in the harbor, Yi Yi screamed and came down from the watchtower, and ran to Liu Shiheng for help.

Liu Shiheng patted the sentry on the shoulder to comfort him, and then slashed the back of the sentry's neck with a palm, and the sentry fell to the ground limply.

The rest of the pirates were stupid, and were immediately followed by bayonets against their bodies.

The leader of the sentinels, who didn't know what was going on, immediately raised his hands and grabbed them.

A team member excitedly straddled the magic machine on his back and was about to go upstairs, Liu Shiheng threw him a flag: "Hang this!" The new army likes to find such a target to correct the artillery fire, and the straight lady thief has done a month of meticulous work, don't be served by your own people in the end, that's called sadness! ”

Wang Shao held up the binoculars, saw a bright red flash on the sentry tower, shook his head and muttered: "This kind of battle is ...... It's so unsavory......"

The bay had been sealed off by two chains of fire, and the roar below the deck of the Tarzan continued.

The Greek fire was indeed fierce, and the overturned masts of the ships in and around the bay became a serious obstacle to the pirate ships, and some of them even landed on undamaged ships, and the sail masts were mixed together and burned along the canvas.

The wreckage on the periphery enclosed the bay into an oil pool, which gradually spread until it became a sea of fire.

New pirate ships were constantly being hit by the artillery fire that was gradually advancing into the bay, and the oil tanks containing Greek fire on the hull of the ships that were swept by the flames became a nightmare for the pirates.

Wang Shao saw the figure of many pirates, forced by the flames to climb up the mast, step by step to the top of the mast, and then could not escape the fate of the flames, and finally jumped in despair and fell into the fire like dumplings.

The rest, surrounded by the sea of fire that spreads around them, are gradually forced towards the center of the bay.

At last, the sea of fire covered the entire bay, and the pirates cried frantically and climbed up the remaining warships, which quickly burst into flames, and in the end none of them were spared.

The billowing smoke rose into a black cloud, so that Wei Shou'an's fleet, which was still clearing pirates dozens of miles away, could be clearly seen.

The remnants of Mufouti's fleet were lucky, with at least dozens of warships, and after seeing the Kongo escaping and the Shingon sinking, they chose to cut the sail rope and surrender, and finally survived.

After cleaning up the mess in the open sea, Wei Shouan led the fleet to Macheng.

Without mistaking the direction, the black smoke rising below the sea horizon is a huge buoy.

Coming to the Taishan, climbing the rope net to the boat, Wang Shaozheng and Sun Neng drank tea on the ship's floor.

Seeing him coming, Wang Shao dragged a chair: "Yuan Jie is here, is the sea finished?" ”

Wei Shouan gave a chest-beating salute: "It's over, dozens of ships have been lowered." ”

After speaking, he looked at the blazing bay: "Why is it so...... Miserable? ”

Wang Shao picked up the binoculars on the table and handed it to him: "The juniors did it, Monk Liu is the initiator, and the cadres are all like this, plus the enemy ships are all oil hyacinths, so that's it...... Miserable. ”

Wei Shouan took the binoculars, looked at the situation in the bay, and couldn't help but shudder: "This is ...... It's all boiled, and I won't give you a chance to surrender......"

Wang Shao also sighed: "This Su Mingrun's back pot meat just can't be eaten, and finally Junjun relented and said that he could eat spicy, after seeing this miserable appearance, I'm afraid I won't be able to smell the meat for another three months......"

"Wait a minute......" Wei Shouan raised the binoculars again: "That kid also took the other party's water village?" ”

Wang Shao said with a smile: "Liu Ji gave birth to a good son, this kid is too spiritual, he is used to taking advantage of the situation and the resources in his hands, he can be called a general!" ”

"At a critical time, he dragged people to run wildly to death, and when he reacted, he was all locked up here, who could have thought of such a trick?"

Wei Shouan also smiled: "It's a temporary coincidence, right?" If this is far-sighted, it is probably not Liu Ji's old boy's species! ”

Wang Shao laughed: "Temporarily, you can make all the cochin ships run towards the port under a banner?" Isn't it that more than 30 ships are acting together to bring all the army of Pu Shima over? ”

"This baby has even calculated the timing of burning the cable and setting the boat on fire, even if we don't come with us to pick up the cheap, he won't be able to run away at least one of the exploits of seizing the port!"

After speaking, Rawei Shouan sat down and patted him on the shoulder: "You fought very well in this battle Yuanjie!" At most, the two boys stepped on your shoulders and picked a big fruit. ”

"More than 500 warships, more than 30,000 bandits, all the soldiers were wiped out in one day without blood, which opened my eyes!"

Wei Shouan arched his hand: "The bachelor said that he laughed, this is the use of new tactics and long-range attack weapons, and Pu Shima was directly stunned." ”

After speaking, he looked at the harbor and lost his mind: "Maybe you have to add luck against the sky......
