927 The big thing is also decided
Pirates are actually not very bold, especially for this kind of thing on the shore, they are more cautious. It's just that in this situation, even if a cautious pirate sees the official naval warship in Taiping Port, it is clear at a glance, and there is only so much. And most of these warships are small ships, and there are very few really big warships. Other than that, the entire sea surface is clear at a glance, and there can be no ambush. Just imagine, in this case, if these pirates don't let go, they might as well go home and farm, it's really not suitable to be outlaws at sea!
To tell the truth, as far as those naval warships are concerned, they can be solved as soon as the big guys rush up, and the only thing that needs to be considered is actually those shore guns. But the shore artillery in Taiping Port, they all know it in their hearts, and that's it, although a few people may be unlucky, but so many people, it can't just be themselves, right?
The swarming pirate ships rushed into the harbor, and as they were about to rush to the ships of the sailors ready to meet them, the shore guns finally began to roar.
The sound of "boom boom" sounded continuously, and the iron bullet whistled out, and in the blink of an eye, it smashed through the plank of the hapless pirate ship. However, in this era, this kind of live attack will not cause the ship to disintegrate and sink immediately. In contrast, those pirate ships that were shot accelerated and rushed to the shore.
In Taiping Harbor, there were ships densely, and the sound of cannons rumbled, but it could not hide the sound of shouting and killing.
Liu Xiang stood on the flagship, watching so many ships in front of him crowd into Taiping Port, and couldn't help laughing: "Zheng Yiguan, you also have today!" Look at it, your nest is about to be served by Lao Tzu! ”
There was a third master standing next to him, and when he heard his words, a trace of inexplicable expression flashed on his face, and he didn't speak, but just looked ahead with his eyes, wanting to see where the sudden change would begin?
As they were thinking, they suddenly saw the official sailors rushing out of several small boats and heading towards the many pirate ships.
"Arsonist ship?" When Liu Xiang saw it, he couldn't help but pout, "Lao Tzu knows that Zheng Yiguan is actually just this ability!" ”
Although there were his subordinates in the pirate ships in front of him, he acted very indifferent, just those arson ships, how many bows could be burned?
As he expected, the small boats that rushed out were actually arsonist ships, which ignited the pirate ships that were firmly hooked with iron hooks, and the fire was so fierce that it burned to the pirate ships in just a few moments. All of a sudden, there were people in the water around here like dumplings.
On the other side, Putmans, his flagship naturally did not rush forward, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he looked at the burning Taiping Port from the periphery. Although he thinks that his fleet is fast and fast, if he does encounter these arsonist ships, he will also have a headache.
The pirate ships that were not burned avoided those that were burning and continued to rush forward. In the process, there were also some unlucky pirate ships that were hit by several iron bullets in a row, and finally leaked too much, and before they could dock, they were already slowly sinking.
To Liu Xiang's surprise, the big ships of the government also began to catch fire, and then rushed towards the pirate ship.
"Hehe, do you see?" Liu Xiang pointed with his finger and laughed: "Zheng Yiguan's people know that they can't keep those ships." I don't know if Zheng Yiguan is here, I really want to see what kind of expression he has at this time! ”
"It's definitely not the kind of expression you think it is!" When the three masters heard this, they thought to themselves. For that, he was sure.
In the distance, many soldiers in Zheng Yiguan's sailor division fled to the shore one after another, scattering and fleeing, completely undisciplined.
Although the pirates' side is already very chaotic, there is no rule, but they probably avoid the burning ships and try to get to the shore as much as possible to go ashore and rob.
However, the ships that were on fire were blocked halfway into the port, and it looked like they were trying to stop the pirate ship on the periphery but failed, and in the end they only blocked half of the sea. Numerous pirate ships crowded into the other half of the sea, squeezing inside. In the end, the remaining ships were also set on fire, but there was no one on board, apparently seeing that nothing could be done, but only igniting a fire to prevent the pirates from going ashore, and those sailors also fled to the shore.
The pirate ships that rushed to the front and entered the inner harbor were using hooks, sickles, poles, and so on, to push away the burning ships. It's just that no matter what, after being delayed by these arson ships, the pirate ship couldn't get to the shore in time and was blocked in the inner harbor.
Of course, there were also some pirates who were a little more anxious, and when they saw the sailors on the shore who were almost gone, they all jumped out of ship and swam to the shore.
The sound of "boom boom" continued, which made Liu Xiang a little annoyed to hear it, looked at the location of those shore guns, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, don't get caught when you turn around, I will dismantle you one by one!" ”
Taiping Harbor is already like this, can it still be held by those shore guns alone? What the hell is that!
Eventually, some of the swimming pirates came ashore and brandished their knives and guns to rob them. But at this time, I saw that some officers and soldiers on the shore had returned, thinking of intercepting the pirates who had come ashore. After a little look, you can probably see that it is the leader of those officers and soldiers who is pressing the formation.
After all, there were few pirates swimming ashore, and a few were killed by the officers and soldiers in the group, and the other pirates were afraid and hurriedly retreated to the shore.
"Huh, do you see?" Liu Xiang suddenly exclaimed, "I know if I saw the one who supervised the battle, he was burned to ashes, haha, I didn't expect that Zheng Yiguan was here, and he was forced to supervise the battle in person!" ”
Zheng Yiguan's sailors were stationed in Taiping Port, and the security of Taiping Port, in addition to the officials of the Changle County Ya, was mainly maintained by Zheng Yiguan's sailors. Now that Taiping Port is about to be lost, Zheng Yiguan will definitely be questioned. It seems that he is desperate and stubbornly resisting!
Other pirate leaders also knew Zheng Zhilong. Therefore, after seeing Zheng Zhilong appear, they all became excited, and many people even urged their men to jump ashore. Think about it, if you can catch Zheng Yiguan, what a great credit it will be!
At first, the officers and soldiers on the shore were able to resist a little, but more and more pirates jumped ashore. At this time, even if there were officers pressing the formation, the officers and men on the shore were fighting and retreating, and when the burning ships on the shore were dragged away, and as soon as the pirate ships docked, the pirates above rushed to the shore like a tide, and those officers and men could no longer care about resisting, and they turned around and fled into the streets and alleys together with the officers who supervised the battle.
"Haha, it's a big deal!" Liu Xiangwen shouted in a crepe manner, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go ashore!" ”
So, his flagship, as well as the flagships of some other pirate leaders, followed suit, and leaned ashore.
