Why is Hong Tiezhu so stupid, Wang Zhi obviously asked him to die, but he didn't say a word, turned around and rushed to the south!

He was not stupid, and he also knew that if the enemy surrounded them with more than a hundred ships, it was very likely that no one would be able to escape.

Moreover, he didn't think he was going to die, because he still had a secret weapon in his hand.

At this time, he did not have 300 men, but more than 500 men, and after the last delivery, the Governor gave him all the personnel on the ship, and the people who came on board later, or the weapons in their hands were his secret weapons.

These people were carrying new muskets, and they had brought a lot of thunder!

To be honest, he was not very frightened when he faced more than fifty pirate ships alone, and he didn't want to mix with Wang Zhi's ship to meet the enemy, because that would not be conducive to his performance.

He calmly commanded his dozen ships to line up and slowly head south, all the crew, including himself, hiding in the cabin or behind the side of the ship, waiting for the enemy to approach.

To the south, commanding the pirates was Lu Qi, who was second only to Wang Zhi in fame, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face when he saw that Wang Zhi sent more than ten ships to turn around and intercept them.

This guy, it seems that Wang Zhi is ready to cut off his tail to survive.

Wang Zhi's arrangement is the most beneficial for him, of course he knows the combat strength of Wang Zhi's fleet, they have more than 100 ships surrounding more than 50 ships, and they will definitely be able to win, but they must pay a considerable price, Wang Zhi is not a vegetarian, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to take them down without more than half of their casualties.

However, the result is different like now, the more than ten ships sent by Wang Zhi, it is not very difficult for him to take them, because he has more than 50 ships on his side, and Shen Jiu, who is in charge of the frontal raid, is estimated to be in trouble, and the same more than 50 ships against more than 30 ships, Shen Jiu is very likely to be unable to stop it.

Although it is a pity to run more than 30 ships, it is most beneficial for him to take down these more than ten ships, because Wang Zhi's main force and Shen Jiu fought to defeat both sides, but he easily won more than ten ships, and under the advantages of one another, he is likely to become the strongest force on the sea!

What a chance, but don't let these more than ten ships run away.

Looking at the slowly approaching Wang Zhi's fleet, he ordered without hesitation: "Order, all the ships are separated from the left and right, we go to the left, and the others go to the right, and surround these more than ten ships." ”

There are only more than 20 ships under his command, and the others are all gathered by small groups of pirates, and they are divided left and right, just surrounding more than ten ships sent by Wang Zhi after being broken, and none of them want to run away.

Hong Tiezhu saw that the pirate ship in front of him suddenly separated from the left and right sides and surrounded him, and his face couldn't help showing excitement, it's good, it's great!

The reason why he lined up the fleet was to give full play to the power of the muskets and thunderbolts, after all, it was better to fire on both sides than on one side, and if the fleet shrunk into a ball, the side close to the inside would definitely not be able to fire, but it was different when it was lined up, and it was not the same when it was lined up, and both sides could fire.

However, there is actually a little problem with this platoon, and this problem is that the enemy rushes up in a group, and if he wants all his ships to fire on both sides and fight the enemy, he must lead the fleet into the enemy's fleet.

In this way, it is a bit chaotic, and it is difficult to say how much power the musket and thunder can exert in the chaotic battle.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was divided into left and right sides to outflank him, this is simply looking for death!

He grinned, and then decisively ordered: "Order, all muskets are loaded and ready to be aimed and fired." ”

In a moment, more than fifty pirate ships were already scattered to the left and right like open pockets, nearly a mile away, and they were turning their bows and closing up.

At this time, there were already sporadic artillery roars on Wang Zhi's side, proving that the fighting had already begun, but there was no sound at all on this side, and both sides seemed to be waiting for the ship's side to approach, ready to take the battle.

However, when the two sides approached about two hundred paces, more than a dozen ships on Hong Tiezhu's side suddenly erupted in dense muskets, and those pirates who were taking out arrows, wrapping oilcloths, and preparing to light fires suddenly fell in large pieces.

Muskets!

Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Wang Zhi has muskets, of course he knows, but in his impression, Wang Zhi only has two or three hundred muskets at most, could it be that Wang Zhi is crazy and has transferred all the muskets to deal with him?

Who to scare!

He looked at the archers rolling on the deck, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't be afraid, hurry up, rush forward, it takes time for their muskets to be reloaded, don't let them have another chance to shoot." ”

If it is an ordinary musket, it will naturally take time to reload ammunition, and the distance of two hundred paces, if you rush faster, it is really possible that you will not be able to release the second shot, and the musket under Hong Tiezhu is not an ordinary musket.

As soon as his words fell, "pop pap", there was another dense burst of muskets, and the archers on their side fell again in a large area.

At this time, a sea ship can carry at most forty or fifty people, that is to say, there are only about two thousand people on their fifty or so sea ships, and there are only five or six hundred archers who are killed.

Lu Qi was dumbfounded, what's going on?

Before he could figure it out, there was another dense burst of muskets, and the archers on their side fell again in a large area.

it, and a fart arrow!

He hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, let everyone hide, don't show your head first, and then go up together when you take the side." ”

His order was heard, and there was another burst of muskets, and the archers who had just begun to dodge fell down in large numbers, and this time, the archers were almost gone.

However, it doesn't matter, there are at most four or five hundred people on the opposite side, and there are more than a thousand people on their side, who can still fight people all over the ground to find teeth.

He thought well, but the ships on both sides had just taken over, and his men on his side had just poured out, and before they could set up the gangplank, there was another burst of muskets on the opposite ship, and more than a hundred people fell down with grinning teeth, rolling on the ground in pain!

Nima, how many muskets do these guys have?

At this moment, Lu Qi was stunned, and he didn't know whether to rush or retreat.

After a few rounds of gunning, his pirates learned to behave, and after this round of gunning, almost all of them retreated behind the side of the ship, hiding, and seemed to have nothing to do with the appearance, and the gunfire stopped for the time being.

Lu Qi was hesitating whether to rush up or retreat, when hundreds of smoking black bumps suddenly flew out of more than ten ships on the opposite side at the same time, smashing straight towards them.

There was a bang, and the pirates hiding behind the side of the ship were all so bombarded that they cried and cried for their mothers.

, thunder, hit, it's the elite of the officers and soldiers on the ship!

Lu Qi hurriedly ordered: "Quick, turn around, withdraw!" ”
