The fear of the pirate ship decoy force made them have no chance to observe the other fleets of the East China Sea Fleet, which is also their biggest mistake, if they are a little bolder, and wait for the first detachment of the East China Sea Fleet to retreat back when it is two or three miles away, Han Bahai still has a chance to escape, it is a big deal not to have this base, it is still possible to lead ten British warships out of battle, but the fact is so ruthless, this group of pirates has no future.

Xiao Hailong's flagship took the lead and led the remaining nine warships to quickly rush towards the pirate ship, while the pirate ship quickly fled to the predetermined sea area, and the two fleets chased and fled, and the distance was constantly approaching. The current situation is that the pirate ships do not know how strong the real combat power of the East China Sea Fleet is, and the first detachment of the East China Sea Fleet does not know that the pirates have arranged an ambush circle, so it can be said that both sides have a bit of a taste of blind war, and as for who will win the final victory, both think that it is themselves.

Xiao Hailong's fleet continues to shorten the distance with the fleet of pirate ships, staring closely at the escape route of this fleet, he himself understands his shortcomings, he is not familiar with the sea conditions here, and blind detour volleys may be taken by pirate ships into the reef or shallow water to run aground, so no matter how the pirate ship goes around, Xiao Hailong is following the other party's route, and in order to prevent the fleet behind from encountering danger, the fleet behind has not made a sign of navigation, these practices are the embodiment of the standard cultural quality, Unlike uneducated pirates, who only rely on their own experience, the navy's textbooks later recorded the case of Xiao Hailong's mark of the navigation mark during the maiden war of the East China Sea Fleet.

After nearly two hours of chasing, the pirate ship finally brought the first detachment of the East China Sea Fleet into the outer side of Han Bahai's ambush circle. Now Xiao Hailong is less than three miles away from the location of the pirate ship, and he can vaguely see from the telescope that there is a gourd-shaped port in front of him, the entrance is about two miles wide, and about ten miles inside is the dock, Xiao Hailong still carefully slowed down, slowly and carefully observed and sailed in the direction of the dock, because no matter how to fight, only landing on the dock can completely eliminate this group of pirates.

The pirate ship quickly approached the dock, Xiao Hailong carefully chased towards the dock, and when the pirates climbed ashore, Xiao Hailong's fleet had already sailed to a position less than four miles away from the dock, and there was still no abnormal situation around, Xiao Hailong ordered the fleet to continue to move closer to the dock, and when it was only less than two miles away from the dock, he heard the sound of cannons on the left and right sides, and nearly forty pirate ships rushed out from behind the left and right sides to Xiao Hailong's first fleet.

Xiao Hailong saw the pirate ships rushing out left and right in the telescope, what are you happy about, isn't this a credit to yourself, there are more than 20 pirate ships on each side, and they are not equipped with any long-range attack firepower at all, even if they are equipped with a few small cannons with a range of less than half a mile, they pose no threat to the fleet at all, but they are still a little careless, if they send reconnaissance ships to reconnoiter around, they will not be surrounded, these are some small-scale pirates who can't get on the road, and they have the absolute strength to destroy them, If you encounter a naval fleet with similar strength to yourself in the future, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss.

The pirate ships on the left and right continued to rush towards the First Fleet, the distance was constantly shortening, and the shore guns erected on the docks began to fire at the First Fleet. However, Xiao Hailong didn't care, and when the distance between the pirate ships on both sides was shortened to one mile, Xiao Hailong ordered the mortars on the eight warships to fire at the pirate ships. This was not a sporadic shot of one or two mortars, but a salvo of nearly two hundred mortars, and the distance of one mile was the best range for this kind of mortar shooting, although the shaking warship affected the gunners' aiming difficulty, but many of the nearly 100 shells on each side still hit the pirate ship that rushed up. Pirate ships, large and small, are basically scrapped as long as they are blown up by shells, because the wooden deck simply cannot withstand the explosive force. When the unlucky boat is blown up to the gang, it will be blown open a large hole, and the sea water will pour into it, and after a while, it will disintegrate, and the pirates will become mermaids who have fallen into the water. Larger ships are fine, and pirates will try to plug holes on the damaged deck, but if a few shells are hit, they will still be blown apart. Thanks to the wooden ships of this era, pirates could escape from the sea with the shattered pieces of wood, but it was up to their luck to swim back to shore, and if they encountered sharks, they only considered themselves unlucky.

The pirate ships on both sides rushed towards the First Squadron under constant bombardment, and by the time they were close to half a mile, almost half of the pirate ships had been blown up or disintegrated, but the pirates had seen an opportunity to get closer. They believed that if they came close to them, they would be able to join the gang and the victory would be theirs, and this was the experience they had gained from fighting the Dutch armed merchant ships. They had also been subjected to gunfire from Dutch warships, but as soon as they approached to board the enemy ship, with their ferocious fighting ability, the enemy could only wait for death.

As the distance approached, it was really difficult for the mortars to hit the corsair again, and the remaining less than twenty pirate ships saw hope of victory. These pirates are all Japanese wandering samurai, and they do have a fierce spirit of fearlessness, and when nearly half of their companions were killed, they still rushed over so desperately, which may be the cruelty of naval warfare that tempered their will. Unfortunately, they encountered the much more powerful Ming Dynasty East China Sea Fleet, and their experience also made a big difference, killing the self-righteous pirates.

When they approached less than 60 zhang of distance between the two fleets, the soldiers of the 1st Detachment of the East China Sea Fleet lowered their mortars and began firing from the hand-cranked machine guns set up on the ships. There weren't too many machine guns, only five on each warship, but the twenty hand-cranked machine guns on each side became a nightmare for pirates. The wooden hull could not withstand the powerful machine gun bullets at all, and the pirate ships were hit with bullet holes in front of them, and each bullet hole was pouring water into the cabin, and there was no pirate on the deck who could stand up, and those who dared to stand up were cut in two, and the dead could not die again. It was only at this moment that the pirates completely lost the will to fight, they finally realized that today they would not have any chance of victory, they finally knew that they were afraid, but the fate of their total annihilation had been decided.

Just when Xiao Hailong wantonly attacked the pirates who surrounded him like hunting, the second and third fleets that followed behind them, under the leadership of Qi Jin, also rushed in this direction, and just as they were about to enter the mouth of the gourd of this pier, they encountered the official warship of the pirate ship, that is, the standard warship of this era obtained by Han Bahai from the English. When these pirate warships heard the cannons, they immediately sailed to the battlefield from the ambush place, trying to surround the First Squadron behind, but when they just entered the gourd, they saw the East China Sea Fleet coming from behind, so they immediately turned around and formed a horizontal formation, which is the so-called T-shaped formation combat method, the purpose of which is to concentrate the artillery on both sides to bombard the enemy ships, which is also the tactics determined by the structure of the ships of the Western fleet, and their naval guns are installed on both sides of the warships.

Chen Nanjiao and Yu Hualong did not panic when they saw the pirate ship arranged in a battle formation like a long snake, and each led their own fleet to march together, because their mortars could fire in any direction, anyway, the enemy did not have any ironclad ships now, they were all wooden warships, even the sides of the ships were wooden. The process of the battle is very simple, that is, when the mortar bombardment is close to a certain distance, the hand-cranked machine gun strafes, Han Bahai's pirate navy did not go through any real naval battle, and was completely defeated by Chen Nanjiao and Yu Hualong's fierce attack, and Qi Jin thought that this naval battle had not yet achieved the purpose of training, why did these pirates be so unbeaten.

Then the matter was very simple, the three fleets bombarded the pirates' shore guns with mortars side by side, and then the soldiers landed, and in the face of the powerful East China Sea Fleet, Han Bahai completely lost the will to resist and had to take the road of surrender.
