Chen Sipan believes that if Wang Zhi is not there, the officers and soldiers should not be afraid, after all, after so many years, he has not suffered a loss in front of the imperial court sailors.

It's not that he hasn't encountered the warships of the imperial court sailors before, and the fight is not like the guards on the shore, and he runs away in three times and two times, is it possible that changing the governor can make the entire Ming army sailors reborn?

At this point, he really didn't believe it, the sailor is different from the foot soldier, the average foot soldier can have a significant improvement in combat power as long as he trains hard for a few months, but the water master is not so easy, and it is generally difficult to improve without practicing for a few years.

He thought that the current Ming army sailors were still similar to a few years ago, and there was nothing to be afraid of at all, so when he heard that there were more than 100 official and military warships in front of him, he did not show any panicked expression.

You are powerful on land, yes, can you still be one against two at sea?

He only thought for a moment, and then said aloud: "Order, let the boats on both sides spread out a little, rush up, and besiege on all sides." ”

At this time, Yang Cong was also observing the movements of the opposite pirate ship on the flagship, this so-called flagship is actually a Cangshan ship, but it has undergone some modifications, although the size of the hull has not changed, the cabin on the deck has been greatly changed, the original waterproof roof on the cabin has been removed, replaced by a tower like an arrow tower, people standing on it, can see the distant scene through the sails around it.

This was the first time he had participated in a real naval battle, and he was naturally a little excited in his heart, and as soon as the pirate fleet had just changed formation, he couldn't help but ask: "Shisuke, what do they mean by this, are they going to flee like this?" ”

Yu Dayou shook his head helplessly and said, "No, they are ready to rush up and fight." ”

He was really helpless, everyone advised the Governor not to take risks in person, but Yang Cong must come over to take a look, this war is not child's play, what if there is something missing.

Yang Cong didn't feel scared at all, just kidding, Yu Dayou, the number one master in the world, was on the side, and there were also the Jinyi guard masters led by Shen Lian by his side, as well as the guards he recruited, just pirates, what could he do, even if it was a gangside battle, he was not afraid, Yu Dayou could overturn the other party's boatload of people alone, he was afraid of a fart.

He asked with great interest, "Oh, is this Chen Sipan really so fierce?" ”

Yu Dayou nodded solemnly and said: "It is rumored that Chen Sipan is quite arrogant, in the past, whether it was at sea or on land, when he encountered the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he would rush up and do it, and he had never been afraid. It seems that this rumor is true, Chen Sipan is really crazy, and it's okay, as long as they are entangled, it will be difficult to run. ”

Yu Dayou is proficient in the art of war, and naturally knows the truth of "knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible in a hundred battles", he not only explored the enemy's strength and the number of warships, but even Chen Sipan, the pirate leader, had almost touched the temperament.

It was precisely because of Chen Sipan's arrogant temperament that he decided on this strategy to lure the enemy, if he met a timid person or a cautious person, he could only make a plan to surround him on all sides.

This sea is different from the land, even if it is surrounded on all sides, it is impossible for more than 300 warships to surround more than 200 pirate ships, and people still have a chance if they want to run.

His strategy of luring the enemy is different, once people surround it, it will be difficult to run, because when the encirclement is encircled, the bow of the ship is facing inward, and it is not so easy to turn the bow of the ship and escape outward.

Yang Cong naturally knew Yu Dayou's plan for a long time, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Zhifu is really clever, I'm afraid none of these pirates will be able to escape this time." ”

When Yu Dayou heard this, he hurriedly said modestly: "This is just a small skill of carving insects, the main thing is that the warship built by the adults is easy to use, if the original old-fashioned warship, once it is surrounded by others, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and this strategy of luring the enemy will become a strategy of self-harm." ”

Although this is a bit suspicious of sycophancy, it is indeed true, if they have more than 100 old-fashioned Cangshan ships under their hands, surrounded by more than 200 pirate ships, they will really suffer heavy casualties, and they may not be able to wait for the Cangshan ships and centipede ships on the periphery to surround them, and they will collapse themselves.

This new type of Cangshan ship can be said to be specially designed to encircle and suppress pirates and pirates, not only is it equipped with cannons on the front and back, left and right, but also equipped with canopy-like guards on the sides of the ship, and the musketeers squat under the guards and shoot through the holes that have been opened, so they don't have to worry about being attacked by a rain of arrows.

Of course, good weapons and equipment must also have a good command in order to play their due role, if they rush up in a swarm like the pirates on the opposite side, no matter how good the warship is, I am afraid it will not be able to exert any power.

Yu Dayou stared at the enemy ship on the opposite side, silently calculating the distance between the two sides, and when the distance between the two sides was less than two miles, he suddenly ordered: "Order, change the front and the artillery on the left and right sides to load the guns, ready to fire." ”

With his order, the original flotilla of ships that had been lined up like rings suddenly stretched out to both sides, and became the shape of an arrow.

Seeing this, Chen Sipan on the opposite flagship couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, this change of formation speed, the other party is not like a recruit who has just entered the battlefield, when did the Ming Army's sailors become so well-trained!

He hadn't seen Yu Dayou training the sailors, so he naturally didn't know that the Ming Army's sailors had been reborn at this time.

However, he is also a battle-hardened person, as soon as the other party changes formation, he knows that this time he is afraid that he will encounter a hard stubble, can more than 200 chaotic pirate ships be able to do more than 100 well-trained Ming army sailor ships?

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't have much to do, because the distance between the two sides was less than two miles, and at this time, if he gave other orders, the already chaotic fleet might become a mess, and he could only pretend not to see the other party's strength, and lead people to bite the bullet.

After all, their side has a numerical advantage, and even if the Ming army sailors are well-trained, as long as they can rush up to the side and employ people, they can also pile the other party to death.

He also knew that the Ming army had firearms, so when the distance between the two sides was still more than a mile, he decisively ordered: "Come, order everyone to hide behind the side and cabin of the ship, and the archers are ready to shoot." ”

He still knows quite well that he can't just stand there and shoot at others with a bow and crossbow when dealing with firearms, and he can only hide and shoot, although the projectile is not accurate, it is better than standing there and being a target for others, which he still knows quite well.

Sure enough, the distance between the two sides had just reached about a mile, and the Ming warships on the opposite side resounded with a dense artillery roar.

"Boom boom", with a huge roar, hundreds of thousands of pounds of cannonballs roared over, in the face of such a huge cannonball, even if all the pirates have already hidden behind the cover, it is useless, such a huge cannonball, in addition to the thick deck of the Fu ship, the general side and cabin can not be stopped.

There was a flurry of sawdust, and at least twenty or thirty boats were shot, and some of the boats were even smashed through by a single shot, and immediately began to tilt and sink.

Seeing this, Chen Sipan couldn't help frowning, the power of this Ming army's artillery is too fierce!

Before he could come to his senses, the sentry ships on the left and right sides suddenly heard a terrible whistle, and the flag-bearer sounded an alarm, and enemy ships appeared on the rear flanks on the left and right, and the number was more than 100.

Seeing this, Chen Sipan's face finally changed, there were so many Ming warships in the rear, they seemed to be ambushed!
