Chapter 230: Lian Zhan Lian Victory
The Huang family's fleet will come and go to this route in the future, and it will not be out every time, not afraid of being stolen by thieves, afraid of being remembered by thieves, and the hateful pirates who are full of brains will take actions that harm others and themselves, and it will be troublesome to attack their merchant ships for the purpose of revenge.

Because he didn't want to seize the merchant ship, he only wanted to destroy the merchant ship and cause casualties among the crew of the merchant ship. There are too many ways to fight a naval battle like this, prepare a small ship full of gunpowder, ambush it on the route, and take advantage of the moon and the dark wind to collide and it can't be prevented!
Huang Sheng would rather be more patient than completely eat this group of pirates, so as not to leave a security hazard to the armed merchant ships that will run the Japanese route in the future.
After a long conversation with Lord Huang, Bian Zhiming learned about the situation of the Huang family with Liu Guozheng, and learned that this military attache of the Seven Grades General Banner was actually similar to his own experience, and listened to Liu Guozheng's introduction to the happy life of Huangjiawan Island, and Bian Zhiming smiled every day.
He was very active in following the Huang family's team, finding out the craftsmen who built the warships on the island, and personally taking them to repair the captured Zhuyin ship and the No. 2 Fu ship.
He longed to return to Daming as soon as possible, longed to see his relatives who were worried about him, and even more hoped that Lord Huang would completely eliminate the widows under the command of Sakashima Jintra, so as to avenge the death of more than 40 friends and relatives in a foreign land.
In the afternoon of the next day, Huang Mingdao sent a straw skimming ship to bring the news that there were only two warships in the home port of the pirate Xiaobu Island, both of which were Zhuyin ships, so it can be seen that there should be a Zhuyin ship and two No. 2 Fu ships still outside to carry out a glorious robbery mission.
The Huang family's fleet has blocked the port of Xiaoyi Island, which is only half the size of the left front island, and the pirates are huddled in the port to confront our army.
It was known that there were still three pirate ships on the route to generate income, of course, waiting for them to appear, Huang Sheng arranged for all the lookout posts to work in three shifts to carefully observe, and let the four No. 2 Fuship-class warships and eight grass-skimming ships that remained on the left front island to wait for the rabbit to be divided into two groups to cruise near the port.
On the third day, the 'Liaoyang' discovered the enemy's situation and soon came the news through the flag, Huang Sheng immediately set off on the 'Guangning', and the two tent gentlemen Bian Zhiming and Li Ximing also volunteered to get on the warship.
The three pirate ships may have come back with nothing, and the robbery also has to be lucky, they may not find the merchant ships that ran the gang, and the hordes of merchant ships are not easy to mess with, so they ran for nothing.
There's no way to carry it, bad luck is still waiting for them! The listless pirates did not realize that the nest was no longer their own, and that someone had already occupied the magpie's nest and had set up an encirclement waiting to hunt them.
When approaching the port, a No. 2 Fu ship parted ways with them and went west, the pirate family on that ship should live in Xiaoyi Island, Huang Sheng learned of this situation and asked everyone to leave it alone, Huang Mingdao would not let it go.
The twelve warships of the Huang family lined up in a row and went directly to the two enemy ships, and the persuasion to surrender could only be carried out when the enemy was defeated and the pirates lost their attack power.
You can't just send a ship over at this time, in case the enemy doesn't see the coffin and doesn't cry, it will increase the difficulty of the attack.
Now twelve warships pressed down together, and twelve rifled guns bombarded it three times, and besides, the enemy could not escape anyway, and the grass skimming ship had half the displacement of the No. 2 Fu ship, and the speed was twice as high, and chasing it was like a play.
The pirates returning home were unguarded, and they panicked when they suddenly noticed a dozen warships in front of them, and their first reaction was to turn the rudder and flee.
Huang Sheng ordered to get closer and fight again, because the range of the nine-pounder rifled gun on the grass skimming ship was not as good as the twelve-pounder rifled gun on the No. 2 Fu ship, and everyone entered the range to fire a salvo that was more lethal and deterrent.
There was no challenge, a salvo paralyzed the pirate's No. 2 Fu ship, Huang Sheng saw in the telescope that there were no Japanese who could stand up on the deck of the No. 2 Fu ship, leaving the 'Gaizhou' and 'Jinzhou' to capture the enemy ship, and he took other warships to pursue the pirate Zhuyin ship for a moment.
Six straw skimming ships came into range first, six nine-pounder guns roared, and after two rounds the enemy ships were knocked off their sails, and the battle here was over before the four No. 2 Fuchuan-class warships could come up.
Huang Mingli, of course, lived up to expectations, and he found the return Pirate No. 2 fortune ship from afar, and still robbed their warship at the enemy's doorstep.
Knowing that none of the pirate warships had slipped through the net, the Huang family's net collection operation began!
In order to break the hearts of the pirate army, let the nine pirate captives rowed into the port of Xiaoyi Island in small boats to persuade them to surrender, these nine people were pirates who had just been captured yesterday, and they did not know that the Huang family's artillery could easily destroy their batteries.
Huang Sheng is still cautious, surprise to attack its unprepared, if the pirate battery is prepared, our army does not leave powder barrels and gunners on the battery when the artillery is fired, our artillery is in vain, they can also quickly send gunners to take advantage of the gap between our army's loading to fire their already loaded artillery.
Although this kind of defense is only a lasting, as long as one shell hits our warship, it will cause at least a few casualties among our army!
The warriors of the Huang family are too noble, how can they exchange their lives with pirates?
The pirates were given an hour to surrender in small boats, and beyond that time began to advance with an artillery attack.
The Ming warships have been blockading the port of Xiaoyi Island for more than four days, and the pirates should have made preparations early, and they don't care about giving them another hour.
Huang Sheng thought that the pirates would not surrender, because the telescope clearly saw that the enemy's artillery was waiting for the fort, the artillery must have been loaded a long time ago, and the torches had been lit several times.
It was still Huang Mingdao who was in charge of directing the artillery bombardment, and he had been here for four or five days, and he didn't know how many times he had circled around this small island, and he could see the enemy's deployment clearly.
Huang Mingdao believed that the Liaodong's 20-pounder guns could hit any target on the island, and covering the fort was simply not worth mentioning.
There is no difficulty in attacking and taking this small island, the problem is that there are zero casualties demanded by the adults, it is too easy to knock out the fort and rush into the port, but the two ships of the pirates should have been waiting for the ship.
Huang Mingdao decided that he could not replicate the last attack on the pirate home port of the left front island on the east side of Naliu Island, this island is not a long strip, there is no narrow waterway, but it is known that the reefs outside the waterway are dense, and the waterway mouth that ships enter is within the range of the battery's artillery.
Our troops can first cover the enemy's batteries with artillery fire, and then the flagship of the 'Liaodong' slowly approaches the entrance of the waterway, as long as the speed is slow enough not to hit the reef and cause injury to the flagship, and then use the ultra-long range of the bow gun to shell the pirate warships in the harbor that are preparing to counterattack.
It was only after the two ships lost their attack power that our army entered the harbor to attack, so the arrangement should be foolproof.
