Chapter 356: The Burning Harbor

Guo Jintao said loudly: "Mr. Bao, do you see that bay?" The bay is supposed to be a gathering place for pirate ships, and according to intelligence, there is a pier in the bay, where the pirates' ships are usually docked. ”

Boris nodded and said: "Lao Guo, you are an expert in naval warfare, Da Lang and I will not interfere, you are in charge of commanding, try to wipe out all the pirate ships on the dock." ”

Guo Jintao was not polite, and immediately shouted loudly: "Herald, pass my order, let eight merchant ships outflank the two flanks of the island, and let the two warships at the back follow." Three other warships, following the flagship, raid the pirate's dock! ”

The herald gave a military salute, turned and left.

Guo Jintao commanded the warship to speed up immediately, and the sailors immediately got busy, raised the full sails, and the warship gradually began to accelerate, overtaking the other ships and rushing towards the bay.

Boris and Antaro stood at the bow of the boat, staring into the distance. Soon the ships rounded a jutting hill and entered the bay.

In the middle of the harbor surrounded by mountains, there is a wooden pier with seven ships of various sizes docked. The boats lowered their sails and rose and fell silently with the waves.

Guo Jintao shouted loudly: "Rush up, turn to the left when you are ten feet away, and let the starboard side launch*!" ”

The flagship began to move at full speed, and the sailors shouted their trumpets and kept maneuvering the sails to keep the ship moving at high speed.

The guards on deck who were in charge of operating the ballistas were ready, and everyone was staring at the ships on the dock, ready to fire at the order.

As the ship approached the dock, the people left behind on the pirate ship spotted the approaching ship at high speed and immediately shouted and shouted.

At this time, more than fifty meters away from the pirate ship, the warship began to turn to the left, and the ship drew a graceful arc on the sea, and lightly swept past several pirate ships.

Guo Jintao shouted hoarsely: "Launch!" ”

The escort who operated the ballista immediately struck the trigger with all his might,

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Three ballistas on the starboard side fired one after another, and three spherical clay pots flew out and smashed into the pirate ship in an arc.

All three clay pots hit their targets, and one smashed into the mast of a ship, and the clay pots immediately shattered, and the grease inside splattered everywhere, and soon a raging fire ignited.

Two other clay pots hit the same ship, one on the deck and the other on the side of the ship. Both clay pots caused a fire, and the pirate ship began to burn.

The men who remained on the pirate ship screamed hysterically at the sight of the ferocious flames.

The people on the two boats, which were already on fire, began to put out the fire. They brought buckets from the cabin and poured water on the flames. Others took off their coats and threw themselves into flames.

However, the fire became more and more intense, and it was impossible to extinguish it. Some of the pirates were caught in the flames and jumped into the sea howling.

At this time, the other three warships entered the attack line and began to pour ammunition towards the docks.

Soon the docks were on fire, and five pirate ships had already been set on fire, and the pirates who stayed behind were desperately fighting the flames.

Some of the pirates jumped into the sea in despair when they saw that the fire was getting more and more intense.

Guo Jintao issued another order for the fleet to make a 180-degree turn, and then approached the dock, so that the port side guards also had a good time, and launched a round*.

The sailors pulled the rope desperately, turned the ship around, circled around, and approached the dock again.

The guards on the port side all looked at Guo Jintao with blank eyes, waiting for him to give the order to launch.

Guo Jintao kept calculating the speed and distance of the ship, and finally issued an order:

"Port launch."

The guards happily tapped the trigger and threw the *.

The clay pots hit the burning pirate ship one after another, and sprinkled a handful of salt on people's wounds, making the fire even more intense.

Desperate pirates jumped into the sea and swam in circles toward the shore.

Seeing this, the three warships behind all followed suit, turned around one after another, and threw them in the direction of the dock in turn*.

All seven pirate ships were on fire, and even the wooden docks were on fire.

An Dalang shouted excitedly: "Little Liuzi, look! Lao Tzu really didn't expect that * so ferocious! These ships are hopeless, and the naval battle in the future is too simple, a few * are thrown over, no matter how big and strong the opponent's ship is, it will still be over! Hahaha! ”

Boris shook his head and said, "Da Lang, you are too optimistic, I dare not agree. We were able to destroy the pirate ship this time because the pirates were defenseless, and all the ships were stationary and at our disposal.

However, if we engage the enemy's ships at sea, we and the enemy's ships will move at high speed. Most of our escorts are rookies, their launch accuracy is not good, and they lack actual combat experience.

I estimate that they launch * in high-speed motion, throw out ten, and if they can hit one, the Buddha will bless them. It depends on whether his character is good or not. ”

An Dalang was immediately deflated, "It turns out that there are so many doorways in naval warfare, it is indeed not simple." Lao Tzu should learn from you with an open mind. ”

Boris said with a straight face: "You learn from me!" I'm a rookie, too. If you want to learn, go to Guo Jintao, he has been adrift at sea all his life and has extremely rich practical experience. ”

An Dalang nodded: "Okay, I'll invite him to drink a few more drinks, and he will definitely teach me." ”

At this moment, the four warships were walking back and forth in the harbor, and the guards on the deck all looked happily at the burning pirate ship, some of the guards danced and some simply cursed.

Boris said to An Dalang: "Dalang, get ready to land." ”

An Dalang nodded and went to organize a landing commando.

An Dalang found Guo Jintao again, "Old Guo, when the guards land in a small boat, the pirates will definitely gather at the place where we landed." You command the ships to get as close to the beach as possible, then launch* to eliminate them as much as possible and clear an area where they can land. ”

Guo Jintao said with a smile: "No problem, you can just take a look." As many pirates come, they will die. ”

On the deck, the landing assault team was ready, and the guards were all holding various weapons, standing quietly, waiting for the order to land.

Standing on the side of the ship in high spirits, An Dalang pointed to the burning dock and the pirate ship and shouted: "Brothers, these pirates can't run anymore!" Their ships have all been burned by us, and as long as everyone fights bravely, they will be rewarded handsomely. Money, land, and mother-in-law are not a problem.

Think about Zhai Xiaoshan, a year ago, he was a poor homeless like you.

But what about people now? There are hundreds of deposits on the passbook, and there is a mother-in-law at home.

People have all this because they have the ability. Manly man, fame but immediate, if you want to get this, fight bravely! ”

The guards were boiled by the stimulated beast blood, and they howled one after another:

"I want it too!"

"Kill all the pirates!"

"For money and mother-in-law, Lao Tzu fights!"

Andalo looked at the cattle of the escort with triumph, drew his sword, and pointed to the beach next to the pier.

"All change to small boats and land!"

The sailors hurriedly began to lower the boat, then untied the rope net and hung it outboard.

The guards began to line up in an orderly manner and walked to the side of the ship. They rolled over the side of the boat, grabbed the rope net with their hands, and descended slowly until they jumped into the undulating boat.

Each ship could hold seven or eight escorts, and when they were filled, the guards on the ships passed on the weapons and equipment of these men to them.

Shields, spears, bows and arrows, and even *. One by one, they were passed to the boat.

The scene was a little chaotic for a while, but there was a difference between actual combat and ordinary training. The team members were still a little nervous, and the sea was very windy and rough, and the warship and the surrounding boats were constantly shaking, which made it more difficult for the guards to transfer.

Boris shook his head and said: "Da Lang, have you seen it, rookies are rookies, although they usually train very hard, they feel that they are already elite." But in real battlefield situations, where they are inexperienced, frizziness is exposed. ”

An Dalang said with a smile: "So the boss's decision is correct, he asked the guards to continue to participate in the low-intensity battle of suppressing bandits, just hoping that they can not only gain battlefield experience, but also ensure their own safety." In Du Dalei's words, this is called 'persimmons to pick up soft pinch', hahaha! ”

The two chatted and laughed, and the escorts moved unusually slowly, and after more than half an hour, less than half of the four warships went down, and there were about two hundred people.

At this time, a guard shouted: "Mr. Bao, look! There are quite a few pirates on the beach. ”

Boris and Andaro hurried to the side of the ship, and they saw more than a hundred pirates on the beach, dressed in all sorts of clothes and armed with weapons in their hands.

More than 100 people stood more than 30 meters from the sea, and some of them shouted loudly and shook their weapons constantly, as if they were intimidating the guards who were about to land.

Boris found Guo Jintao, "Old Guo, look at our ballista, can you fire * to the pirates?" ”

Guo Jintao narrowed one eye, stretched out the thumb of his right hand, raised it in front of his eyes, and carefully observed it for a while.

Seeing this, Boris snickered in his heart, isn't this the trick of the mortar man when aiming at the pillar in the TV series "Bright Sword"? It must have been taught to him by the former Scout Boss.

Guo Jintao lowered his finger, "Mr. Bao, our warship is a little far from the sea, we must get closer to kill those pirates." ”
