Chapter 662: Pirates of Little Luzon
Li Guolou led the fleet. With the cover of the night. Sail to the waters of Magong Port in northern Taiwan. It was exactly what he expected. There is no Japanese naval fleet in the waters off Magong Port. But there was one thing he didn't expect. I met a pirate fleet that took advantage of the fire to rob.
The sea is calm and calm, the morning breeze blows, the blue sea and blue sky are unobstructed, and the horizontal plane is 10,000 meters away. A few small dots that can be seen faintly. The cruiser Mighty continued to move forward. Li Guolou finally saw the flag hanging on the ship. The big black banner had a terrifying skeleton painted on it. It's the pirate flag that makes people talk about the tiger's color.
Li Guolou changed color. He shouted angrily: "Order Liu Buchan to lead ten mosquito boats to move forward at full speed. Take out the pirate ship for me. Not a single one will be spared."
The herald sent a report immediately. Give a military order. The mighty horn raised the colorful flags of battle, and the sharp whistle resounded through the sky, and the piercing sound made people's eardrums buzz.
Liu Buyun led ten mosquito boats. Pose for a delphinium formation. Rush through the sea in battle formation. The five-foot angle of the bow of the mosquito towers overboard. It's like a mythical unicorn.
The Swift Clans rushed towards the pirate fleet with great vigour. Prepare to annihilate the pirate fleet. Liu Buyun was ecstatic, it was better to come early, it was better to come by coincidence, the sky has eyes. There was no strong wind, and the pirate ship wanted to escape through the wind and waves, but it could not borrow a tailwind. This time he wants to avenge the people of Taiwan. Destroy all the pirates. In Liu Buchan's eyes, more than a dozen pirate ships are fish on the board. Let him slaughter. Li Guolou was watching him from behind. Give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Liu Buyun knows very well. His career will be brilliant.
The pirate fleet has fifteen clippers. This old-fashioned clipper can carry 30.50 people, is equipped with a Fran cannon, can shoot solid bullets, can also shoot shotguns, is very powerful, in the South Seas, rampant, specializes in robbing passing fleets, pirate fleets hide on Bandara Island in the South Seas, and rarely concentrates on such a large scale.
Pirates are actually thieves with Weishan Lake. A virtuous character. If there is no trade, cast a net to fish. If there is a big deal, you can get a ticket. Usually it's the same as a fisherman. It's the vicious look.
This time the pirate leader of Bandara Island, Susseya, listened to the demagogy of the Japanese. The Japanese also gave him a batch of weapons and ammunition. There is even a map of Taiwan's seas. Susé saw the money and opened her eyes. And get the treasure map. He led more than 600 little Luzon people to Taiwan to make a fortune.
Susseya led fifteen speedies north along the island of Taiwan. Send a ship to land when you have the chance. Robbery of Taiwanese fishermen's belongings. And like the Western colonizers. Catch slaves. Burn, kill, loot. The Japanese army landed for more than two months. The little Luzon took advantage of the fire to rob. More than a thousand slaves were captured. This is already the second time that Susseya has led a fleet to Taiwan. The pirates have made a windfall. Loaded up a batch of loot and returned to Bandara Island. Last sortie of five clippers. This time Sousseya has fifteen clippers in size. The pirates of Little Luzon were insatiable. This time, bad luck followed, and he met the Great Shimizu Division in the waters of Magong Port.
The Japanese army invaded Taiwan in the image of a righteous army. Under the pretext of the "Ryukyu Drifters Incident". It's to find revenge on the Paiwan people. There are Americans in the international arena to back them up. Secretly. Japanese Interior Minister Ritsu Okubo connived at the South Sea pirates. Let the South Sea pirates come to plague the people of Taiwan. Such Japanese in the international community. It can also show people openly. An incident that harmed the people of Taiwan. It has nothing to do with the "Japanese Pioneer Corps" at all .
The Japanese are very shrewd. Spent a little money. Let the Nanyang pirates come to Taiwan to make a fortune.
But. The Corsair does not have a transmitter. There was no steam engine on board. Suséya did not receive news of the naval battle of the Diaoyu Islands. His pirate fleet did not dare to approach the big ports of Taiwan. I'm afraid of being bumped into by the Nanyang sailors of the Qing Dynasty. I came to the waters of Magong Port to show off my might. Plundering this sea is on a rampage.
The pirates are dispatching small ships. He went ashore and made a fortune. Fifteen large ships docked in deep waters. The ship has not yet lifted anchor.
Pirates are very diligent. Rinse the deck early in the morning. A dozen pirates knelt on the ground to wash the deck. A small, shirtless man is as nimble as a monkey. Climbed on the mainsail with both hands and feet. Watch the surrounding situation. Looking out over the endless sea. Watch the red sun rise. The bronzed face turned blue in vain. In the south of the sea appeared to see the Oshimizu Division. The rising smoke. It's like a monster hiding in the clouds.
"Whoosh". The small boss slides down from the mainsail. Rushed headlong into the captain's quarters. yelled: "Big brother. Big things are wrong! Daishimizu is here."
"Ahh How could the Great Shimizu Priest be here?" Sousse didn't understand. Magong Port is not a strategic location. I can't help but believe it. Soussiya ran to the deck. I saw the huge Great Clear Water Division. The yellow dragon flag flying high. Only the Great Qing Kingdom has it.
Sousse panicked. Pull the brass bell of the warning. Shouted: "All back to work. The enemy is coming."
"Bell, bell, bell." An urgent bell rings. Fifteen pirate ships aboard. Floundered. Targeted by the Great Shimizu Division. A narrow escape. The scariest thing is. The Great Shimizu Master came down the river. Hundreds of pirates are like ants on a hot pan. I don't know where to run.
People on a pirate ship. Lose one's head. Anchor and sail. I want to get out of this sea as soon as possible. The pirates blew their horns. Inform the partners who are still looting on the shore. I think I have a gun and a cannon. I also want to compete with Daishimizu Shimizu. A door door furlong machine rolled out of the cabin. The muzzle of the gun is pointed directly at the fleet of the Great Shimizu Division. I want to do a dying rebellion by force.
The pirates on the shore heard the sound of the trumpet. Paddle desperately. Trying to escape back to the big ship. If you stay on the island. It will be eaten alive by Taiwan's ethnic minorities. The end will be sad.
The pirates of Little Luzon are like monkeys. Short and flexible. The paddling speed is blazing. Shouted in unison. I also want to escape from danger.
Feng Zicai used a telescope to carefully inspect the appearance of more than a dozen pirate ships in the sea. Say with great certainty: "Commander-in-Chief Li. I see it clearly. Those pirates were pirates of the lesser Luzon kingdom. Not a Japanese pirate. It must have been the Japanese army who brought the scourge of Taiwanese fishermen. Look at. Their clippers are moving closer to the big ships. This time to teach pirates a lesson. Let me fire a few shots too."
Li Guolou squinted and said, "Feng Guandao. You're not saying that there aren't many shells anymore . Save money. Or let the mosquito boat. Go the extra mile."
Feng Zicai said solemnly: "It doesn't matter. Commander-in-Chief Lee. Wuwei. And ballast training shells . Hit a wooden boat with a training bullet. A shot is a hole. It works great."
"How can this be? FENG Zicai. Who told you to load the training bombs? This is war. Not a drill. You can't even tell the difference." Li Guolou was so angry that he thundered. The cruiser was actually loaded with training shells. It's like war is child's play. The main fleet of the Japanese Navy consisted of ironclad ships. Hit the ironclad ship with training bullets. It's just an itch in the boots. Only Feng Zicai could figure it out.
Feng Zicai was called by his name by Li Guolou for the first time. He has a lot of excuses. But in front of Li Guolou. I don't dare to say a single reason. Bow your proud head. Silent.
Large ships load training shells in the bottom compartment. One reason is for ballast bottom. Keep the ship steady. Another reason is that the officers and men of the Navy Division are lazy. Training bullets are always useful. It can be used to hit wooden boats. It's too cumbersome to move up and down from a ship. Nothing to do with the insufficient number of shells . If it is not enough armor-piercing bullets and flowering bullets. The Qing Dynasty has solid bullets.
"Ridiculous. FENG Zicai. Listen to me. Next time you go to sea, you dare to carry a training bomb. I will remove you from your post. Stripped off your yellow coat. Get back to my hometown." Li Guolou fiercely reprimanded Feng Zicai. The hideous face seems to be about to eat people. Don't give Feng Zicai face. Everyone has their own responsibilities. Li Guolou's responsibility is to supervise each of his subordinates. Never indulge anyone. Feng Zicai didn't want to put his old qualifications in front of him. Who dares to disagree. Dismissed on the spot.
"I'll push your lungs. Dare to "Feng Zicai's eyes widened. I almost want to scold my mother. Pulled by his men on the sleeve. Put the latter words alive. Swallow it in your stomach. Quickly changed his words: "Yes. Commander-in-Chief Lee. Now let me consume some training bullets. It can also lighten the burden."
Li Guolou pretended not to understand the swearing. Pretending to be confused. Jaw: "Hmm. Feng Pipe Band. Mistakes can be corrected. Good is great. It's up to you to fight pirates."
Li Guolou leaves the command room. Let Feng Zicai scold him behind his back. and it will not hurt his fur. Master Oshimizu has too many bad habits to change. For tomorrow's triumphant class. He will be a wicked man. War is impersonal. Only talk about the success of the king and the defeat of the king.
"His grandmother's. Sissy who doesn't grow a beard. Dare to scold Lao Tzu. I didn't know that Ma Wang Ye had three eyes. Lao Tzu will pinch you to death with one hand. If you don't understand, close the beak. Training bullets are used to fight pirates. Rational use of resources. The shell Lang from Kyoshi. Dead eunuch. will only hold the stinky feet of the powerful. Li. I despise you. I'm phew." Feng Zicai in front of the generals. Loosen one's tongue. It's as if he's the Supreme Commander. I didn't put the air-like Li Guolou in my eyes. Feng Zicai believes that fighting a war should also be an economic account. The use of training bullets is to save military spending. Such a simple truth, Li Guolou does not understand. No wonder he turned his face and scolded his mother.
Li Guolou is not in the command room. Let Feng Zicai make his temperament. All the officers knew Feng Zicai's stinky temper. It's not strange.
But Feng Zicai didn't forget to fight. After scolding Li Guolou. Turned around and shouted, "What are you all doing? I'm going to carry all the training bombs. Smash pirates to death with training bullets. Lao Tzu doesn't want to see a skull flag. Count Li Guolou's acquaintance. Give the command to Lao Tzu. Otherwise, hum."
The officers in the command room are all officers of good rank. But the same shells had to be carried on board. Walk down the hanging ladder without complaint. The officers and men of the Naval Division carried the training bombs together. Fighting pirates is a little daughter-in-law to live. Prudent.
The sea is vast. Fifteen pirate ships pull up their sails. Outlaws. The sea is so big. It's their heaven and earth. Past. Corsair is the fastest clipper in the world. For more than 200 years, pirates have been masters of the sea. Now. It became the era of the steam engine. It is powered by the power of steam. Propelling the ship forward. Faster the sailboat. There was no strong wind. It's not going anywhere sooner.
Fifteen clippers fled northeast. In the absence of wind direction. The fast sailboat is moving slowly. The fleets of both sides are from a distance of 10,000 meters. Under your chase. It's only two kilometers away. This is a distance for the artillery on the mosquito ship. The probability of hitting an enemy ship is 40%. So not a single mosquito boat fired a cannon. Still clinging to the pirate ship. I want to get off to a good start. The captain of the mosquito ship lives on a frugal basis. The mosquito boat accommodates the body. It is useless to train the bomb ballast the bilge. They don't want to squander the shells.
The sailors followed behind the four ironclad ships. It is more than 3,000 meters away from the corsair. Feng Zicai didn't let the mosquito boat take the battle alone. Be the first to issue an order to open fire.
Rumble. Rumble. Rumble. Rumble.
The cannon on the mighty. There was a deafening roar. Cannonballs whizzed by. Pouring down towards the pirate ship.
A cannonball "booms". Splashing a huge wave three feet high. Didn't hit the target. It scared all the pirates on the clipper to the bottom of the deck.
Rumble.
A cannonball with a huge impact. Slamming into the deck of a pirate ship. The deck is torn apart. Pieces of wood flying. The shells penetrated the deck directly. Drill into the cabin.
Rumble.
A shell hits the cabin. Huge warheads stuck in the cabin. It didn't explode.
Rumble.
A cannonball hits the clipper. Warheads are rolling around on the deck. The hull is tilted. The warhead rolls at a rapid pace. Roll over to a pirate.
"Ahh The pirate was crushed by the huge warhead of the cannonball. Screamed. There was no sound.
The second wave of shells poured down. The quasi-head is more accurate than the previous one. But that's not the way it works. There was no explosion on the clipper. The huge impact of the cannonball. Lack of enough to tear the clipper apart. The clipper is rocking from side to side. Stubborn escape.
"Huh." Strange things happen. The shell didn't explode. The pirates were taken by surprise. One of the pirates shouted for joy, "Master Oshimizu is a poor bastard. The shells are all squibs . We need not be afraid."
Suséya shouted, "Shoot back. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Rushing out is victory. It's about to change direction."
Three pirates work together. Shells loaded. Close the valve. lit the fuse. Boom boom. A solid bullet flies into the blue sky.
Rumble.
A solid bullet fired by a pirate falls into the sea. Splash a wave. Almost one click in the sea Dongqing.
Deng Shichang, the captain of the mosquito ship Haidongqing, couldn't bear it. Aim and fire in person. A graceful arc. Skimming through the sky. That's the power of the Great Shimizu Division to dominate Greater East Asia.
Rumble.
Gunsmoke erupted on the speedy sailboat. Flowering bombs explode on a clipper. The flames are scurrying around. The white sails burned. The fire is rushing from the bottom to the top. Soon the terrifying skull flag was also burning in the flames.
