"Oops,!" Someone next to Luo Hunmiao shouted: "They didn't raise their sails, how can they come to us?" ”

Another shouted discontentedly: "What nonsense?!" This kind of thing dares to be said nonsense. After saying that, he put his hands together and prayed to the Bodhisattva Mazu.

Others also began to worship all kinds of immortals indiscriminately, hoping that the immortals would not listen to the nonsense of the people just now, and they must be blessed to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and be safe and sound. Although these people are sea cowards, and some of them still have human lives in their hands, they are very taboo about ghosts and gods when they are at sea, after all, once they encounter a shipwreck, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, most of them have no bones, and they have to be afraid.

Because they were far away and they didn't have a telescope, they couldn't see clearly. It wasn't until they got closer to Zhang Han's fleet and saw the splash of the wheel slurry that they finally determined that the official army's ship was a car ship.

"Can cars and ships go to sea?" One of the old sailors said puzzled. The cars and boats have disappeared for a long time, and they are all driving on the inner lake, how did they run to the sea. If the car and ship are not strong, they may fall apart when they encounter the waves.

No one answered him, and no matter what, the officers and soldiers just drove the cars and ships to the sea. The most important thing for them now is to defeat the officers and soldiers, otherwise they will have no way to live.

"It's all ready, whatever kind of ship it is, jump on it and force them to surrender!" Luo Miaohyun ordered loudly: "Be careful, don't kill more." If the enmity with the government is deep, we can only be pirates for the rest of our lives. ”

Everyone agreed, and they all sat on the deck to rest, recuperate, and fight as hard as they could for a while. Now it seems that the sailors of the Great Liang Dynasty are not so weak. Their two Franky are also ready, and they have to be strong. They only spread less than half a sail on the mainmast, allowing the big ship to slowly follow behind the small boat.

However, Zhang Han's three warships were getting faster and faster, and they sailed diagonally to the side of the Haikou boat. The Haikou on the small boat did not panic, but still drove straight to the four official and military warships further south, their task was to drive these four official and military warships away, as for these three vehicles and ships, they were the dishes of the main force behind.

But before they had any mental preparations for war, they noticed dozens of black dots falling from the sky and suddenly exploding around them. At the same time, there was a rumbling sound of cannons, and countless projectiles flew over, knocking the people on the periphery like dumplings, and falling into the sea with a poof. And the projectiles that did not hit people and ships, like rain, made countless splashes in the sea.

On the girder's battleship, four bombs were placed in the net pocket of the trebuchant, and the loader pulled the tabs of the four bombs at the same time, and after shouting "yes", the launcher immediately operated the machine and threw the bombs into the small boat team of the pirates. After the gunners were roughly aiming in the direction, they also quickly pulled the firing rope and fired the shotgun from the sub-cannon towards the swarms of pirates. Since none of the pirates wore armor, the fragments of the bombs and the rain of shrapnel could easily kill or injure nearby pirates.

Their warships rowed in an arc along the edge of the small group of pirates, while the guns and catapults on the sides fired shotguns and bombs. In the explosion, a large number of people were killed and injured in the small boat of the pirates, and the surrounding blue water slowly printed patches of bright red. There were as many corpses in the water as there were the wounded who were screaming for help, but the companions who were still on the boat lay on the boat as if they didn't see it, not daring to move.

On the other side, the small boats of the Haikou who had not yet been attacked by the officers and soldiers were desperately rowing, trying to escape far away while the ships of the officers and soldiers had not yet come. But their intermittent paddle could not compare to the wheel of eight paddles paddling continuously in the water. Before they had even drawn a mile of land, the warships of the officers and soldiers came in an arc.

At this time, the pirates wanted to surrender, but they couldn't find a white flag or anything for a while, and it was unknown whether the officers and soldiers would agree to their surrender. I don't know who came up with the idea, so I jumped directly from the boat into the water, hid my body behind the boat, and saved my life first. The pirates on the small boat followed suit, hiding their bodies in the sea water and behind the hull, only half of their heads exposed, staring nervously at the warships of the officers and soldiers, as if looking at the sea monsters in horror.

Although the pirates were hiding, the shrapnel of the bombs that exploded in the air could still cause some damage to them. And the iron shotgun projectiles, some of which can penetrate the thin planks of the boat, make it impossible for those hiding behind to be defenseless. However, they were soon relieved, for the three warships of the officers and soldiers, after making a circle, headed straight for their main fleet.

At this time, Luo Miaohyun was a little scared, these of his subordinates had never seen a big battle, and the most common thing they did was to hijack a few merchant ships. However, he had seen the Portuguese and Dutch gunboats fighting, and the posture of the officers and soldiers just now was very similar to that of the Westerners' gunboats. The difference is that the firepower of the officers and soldiers seems to be even stronger, and in two quarters of an hour his arson fleet was completely incapacitated. He didn't have Zheng Zhilong's strength, he could gather hundreds of arsonist ships to burn the Dutch gunboats, and with his ten merchant ships, it was impossible to get close and fight in close combat.

He was astonished, and so were his men. There were so many cannons, and bombs that rumbled and exploded one after another, they had never seen them before. Watching their companions fall into the water from afar, they themselves were already vague in their hearts. They had never seen such a battle, and many of them were pale, not knowing what to do.

"This, this, this," one of his subordinates asked in a trembling voice, "can you rely on it?" ”

The other blushed and shouted, "Fire!" We also have cannons! His grandma's! Fight with them! ”

"Don't dare, it's only right to run away." Someone shouted: "Our cannon can only hear one sound, not a hundred paces away." ”

"Mother sells skin!" Someone shouted angrily and disappointedly: "Xie Lao Er and Lao Hong ran away!" It's not righteous! ”

At this time, Luo Miaohyun also made a decision immediately, and ordered loudly: "Turn the rudder, raise the sails, and return to the water village!" ”

The sailors sprang into action, raising the sails with their hands and feet and adjusting the angle to get the most out of the wind.

As soon as he turned around here, and two boats had already fled first, the entire fleet began to adjust its direction and fled in the direction of their water village. They all knew that it was impossible to defeat the official army at sea, and only then could Huishui Village have a way out, so everyone on the boat did their best to make their ship run faster.

Zhang Han saw that Haikou began to flee, and immediately ordered: "Raise the sails, catch up with all your might, and don't let them go to the island." ”

The sailors also quickly raised the sails, and the wind combined with the continuous stroke of the wheel pulp nearly doubled the speed of the pirates, and the distance between the two sides, which was not too far, was rapidly being narrowed.
