The soldiers in blue combat uniforms quickly formed three horizontal rows under his command and began to stand still according to his command. With a sound of neat footsteps, Zeng Zhigang commanded loudly www.biquge.info "Let's go!" ”

The sailors who were swarming in the direction of the harbor shouted and waved their weapons, and they received orders from the ship to charge at full speed where the guns had been fired, at least forcing the opponents to abandon their guns before they could shift their firing positions.

"It seems that these pirates don't have any troops now, except for a burst of fire in the woods before, and then these shelling." Carnesto said, "It seems that these pirates can't afford to hold those people together. ”

Ston didn't speak, he just kept thinking it was too smooth, "How many people are coming ashore now?" He was now very worried that he would encounter those iron clippers again at sea, "Now that the west wind is blowing, if those iron clippers rush out at this time, let alone fight them, it is difficult to say that they will retreat." Besides, those pirates have very sharp weapons, and we've suffered enough with their weapons right now. Signal everyone to move forward carefully. ”

"Don't worry so much, right?" The first mate said on the side, "We have more than 800 people ashore now, and there are three cannons, even if we encounter a ** thousand barbarian army, we can kill them all." ”

"That is," said Carnesto, "now we have two ships in port, the Overlord and the Vincennes are protected outside, and with the more than 300 cannons above us, even if the whole army of Annam is dispatched, they can all sink here, even if the iron clipper is here, the water here is not deep enough, they can't use too fast speed to deal with us, we can sink them with fierce fire." ”

Suddenly, Stone's eyes lit up, and three pillars of light suddenly shone on the west, two of which were locked on the Vincennes and one on the Overlord.

At this time, whether it was Ston or Carnesto, their faces were like ashes for a moment.

"Withdraw! Retreat to the deep sea to the east! Ston yelled and rushed to starboard, clinging to the bulwark, staring in the direction the pillar of light was shining from. At the same time, there was a "bang bang" sound in the distance, and several shells fell behind the Overlord and in front of the Vincennes, and then there was a violent explosion, setting off a ** meter high column of water.

"This is the Chinese Navy! You have invaded our territorial waters and territory, immediately lay down your arms, close the gates of fire, surrender to us for leniency, and don't go further and further down the wrong path......" A crisp and loud voice came from the place where the pillar of light shot out in the distance, and Ston couldn't figure out where they could find someone with such a loud voice, which was more than three hundred feet away. "You have ten minutes to hoist the white flag and surrender to us, or we will be ordered to sink your ship!"

Now what? What if a clipper ship had been moving freely between its fleet and sinking a capital ship, but at least three clippers were out of range of their guns. Ston didn't have time to think about it, and looked at the sky, "It's time to start the ebb tide, retreat, northeast, full sails!" ”

The Overlord was swept up by the ebb tide and turned outward, Vincent also saw that the flagship was turning and fleeing under the spotlight of the pirates, and quickly began to turn around with the help of the dinghy, but the sailboat relied on the wind, even if it was rushing to the wind, it was affected by the wind and waves, and when they were still slowly turning, the three cruisers had already aimed at the two capital ships that were being illuminated by the spotlight.

"Warning shot!" Tang Xunliang, who was in charge of the command, ordered loudly: "Shoot a grenade at the front of each of them turning to the channel!" ”

Immediately after that, a high column of water erupted in front of Vincent's channel.

"They're not aiming at us, get out!" Seeing that there was no explosion in the waters in front of the Overlord, Ston hurriedly urged, the helmsman held the rudder plate tightly, and many long oars stretched out of the porthole below, and the sailors began to shake the wood pulp underneath, trying to speed up some speed.

"Why wasn't there a warning shot at that boat?" Tang Xunliang was very angry when he saw the movements of the Overlord in the telescope, and he put aside the telescope and shouted at the people around him.

"It's a dumb fire! The second shot is being fired! The lookout shouted and pointed into the distance, where two columns of water had just risen in front of the Overlord, drenching the sailors on the foredeck.

"Are these guys going to fight or run away?" Tang Xunliang was a little depressed, now that the two capital ships have entered the port, the ebb tide has begun again, and the channel in and out of the port has been blocked by the two capital ships outside, and it is estimated that they will not be able to run away. But these guys don't fight, and they lose almost a thousand sailors on the shore, so they don't want it? It's too unsophisticated, isn't it?

"Stop the ship now! Otherwise we will sink you! The veteran sailor with a megaphone shouted loudly.

"Let's go! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave! Carnesto shouted, and Ston just shook his head, "We can't run away." ”

"No, it won't! We're now fully sailed, and we're able to get out to sea! The first mate was also shouting loudly.

"You're all dreaming!" Ston shook his hand calmly, and the helmsman behind him looked nervously at him, not knowing which Stone's order was. "We can't escape, others are far faster than us, artillery is far more powerful than us, and even the range is much better than ours, and people don't need to get close to us to beat us."

Ston turned his head to look at the broken rear mast and the smashed chart room, and issued the order with a blank and calm face, "Raise the red flag, the whole ship is ready to fight!" ”

"Red flag?" Carnesto couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the red flag was a bloody battle to the end, and the two sides would not die.

"Red flag?" Tang Xunliang was also stunned for a moment, "Inform the whole fleet!" Prepare for battle. ”

At this time, the Overlord opened fire first, the foredeck and starboard guns opened fire first, and a cloud of fire was clearly seen from the hull gun window in the distance from the cruiser more than five hundred meters away.

"What a shock! No wonder these guys love the era of the battle line. Tang Xunliang couldn't help muttering there.

These huge cannonballs rained down on the surface of the sea for about 400 meters, and occasionally a few of them reached the vicinity of the ships, but the mesmerized veterans forgot that they were still fighting. Tang Xunliang was the first to react, and yelled at the helmsman beside him, "Open the distance!" Fast! ”

All the boats suddenly started to move farther away, and at the same time the searchlights were turned off, and the other party was illuminated by the bright light for a while and then suddenly turned off the lights, resulting in a brief period of blindness.

As the ship's spring cannon fired, the shells also landed next to the Overlord, and the only shell that hit the starboard side of the Overlord exploded with a dumb fire and flew into the sea, and the other shots that fell into the sea were successfully exploding.

The Chunxiao received the order to take the enemy fleet from the northeast with the destroyer to prevent it from escaping, and at this time, seeing that the naval battle more than a thousand meters away had begun, Yang Junbo was excited, and ordered to turn to the southwest, close to the port to block the enemy ships in the harbor to escape.

The sea was in full swing, and the sailors on the shore froze, they had rushed to the port area at this time, but they found nothing in the broken bricks and broken wood, but when they turned around, they found that two hundred meters away on the road from which they came was walking neatly a group of soldiers dressed in blue, these soldiers were holding well-looking muskets in their hands, and there were snow spikes under the muzzle of the guns, and they were amazed by the neatness of the sound of these soldiers' steps, which sounded as if they were stepping alone.

"Concentrated fire, target artillery!" Zeng Zhigang shouted the password loudly, and the soldiers lowered their rifles one after another, the soldiers in the first row were lying down, the soldiers in the second row were half-kneeling, and the soldiers in the third row stood up straight, and the rifles in their hands were aimed at the three groups of artillery who were still stunned. "Fire!"

The three platoons of soldiers pulled the trigger at the same time, and more than 20 bullets swept over the gunners like a hailstorm, and half of these dozens of gunners fell at once.

The boatswain suddenly came to his senses, "The pirates still need to reload their ammunition!" Hurry up! As he spoke, he patted the sailor on the shoulder, urging the sailor to rush forward. The sailors were unambiguous, and with a loud roar, they waved their weapons and began to rush towards the array of pirates. However, the pirates didn't seem to be flustered at all, and one by one they calmly pushed the back of the firecrackers, put something in, and then resumed the third row again with the muzzle facing up.

"A shift fires!" The people standing at the front don't need to be aimed at much, and these hundreds of people are piled up at the gate of the port area, and it is difficult to miss the talent. Soon the first few of the sailors in front of the attacking sailors were shot and fell to the ground, and the corpses tripped over the people who followed them, and they were soon trampled to death along with the sailors who were not killed.

However, the pirates in the first row did not stand still and reload after firing their bullets, but retreated from the middle of the line to the back of the line before starting to reload. The second squad, which was originally in the second row, became the first platoon at this time, Zeng Zhigang didn't even turn his head, and ordered loudly: "Fire!" ”

The second company and the third platoon originally had only thirty people, and five people were injured after being fired by the gyroscope cannon just now, and only twenty-five people were left at this time, and it was impossible to resist in the face of this almost ** hundred enemies. But they also have a magic weapon. Just as the sailors began to charge forward, the previously silent Flying Thunder Artillery position opened fire again, because all the previous port area positions had been marked, the artillery company led by Li Zhen at this time did not need to aim at all, only needed to adjust the shooting according to the parameters.

The three cannonballs plunged directly into the charging crowd, and suddenly it was as if three red-hot coals had been thrown into the snow, and three large holes immediately appeared in the crowd. The Flying Thunder Cannon used an ignition fuse, which was different from the impact fuse used on the spring gun, and the detonation rate was almost 100 percent, and these three shells instantly knocked the morale of this group of high-spirited sailors to zero on the spot. Before he could figure out whether he wanted to flee or fight, the blue-clothed pirates in front of him suddenly divided into two rows, holding guns and staring at themselves, what were they going to do? The dizzy sailors were also stunned at this time, and the battlefield suddenly became silent in just a few seconds.
