080 The arrogant Zheng Zhilong bandits
The calm ship instantly became noisy.
Without waiting for the order, the boatmen and the soldiers returned to their posts, resting and waving, and they all ran towards their positions.
The soldiers at the bow of the ship turned the direction of the three-thousand-pound Hongyi cannon and aimed at the pirate ship coming from afar.
"Pirates!" The hand at the top of the mast clamps the mast tightly with his legs, his left hand is also tightly hugged on it, and his right hand shakes the bell quickly to send out the alarm.
Shen Yue was stunned.
"Prepare for battle!" When Yang Shan heard the warning, he immediately climbed towards the top terrace and ordered the soldiers on the ship to prepare for battle.
Xu Duofu also had a serious look on his face, and he also climbed to the top terrace, and instructed the shipwrights and sailors to adjust the sails to hit the ship horizontally, and the thousand pound long cannon was in the inner compartment, firing from the firing holes on both sides.
"Shouldn't the pirates run away when they see the sailor's warship?" Shen Yue finally came back to his senses, but saw that Xu Duofu and Yang Shan had already arrived at the top terrace of the boat, and while wondering, they climbed up.
The bandits of the Ming Dynasty were so fierce?
Going up to the terrace, looking out into the distance, three ten-meter-long dhows came from a distance, the ship was in the direction of the wind, the sails were almost parallel to the ship, and the two sides of the ship stretched out like centipede legs, rowing to this side.
The bow and stern decks of the ship were cluttered with several soldiers, one filling the muzzle with propellant, then the man next to him holding a long stick with a cloth ball tied to the end, another holding a projectile the size of a baby's head and stuffing it into the barrel, and another lit a torch.
"Order, fire! Don't let them come close! "The Hongyi cannon on the ship has a range of up to five miles.
Maybe it's even farther away, anyway, Shen Yue hasn't seen the cannon yet.
Shen Yue saw the Daming pirates for the first time, and they were so fierce that they dared to pounce on the imperial warships.
Last night's stormy seas had made him realize the horror of sailing on the sea, and the pirates were more terrible than the stormy waves.
If you let the pirate ship get closer, the ship will be set on fire......
"Your Excellency doesn't need to worry, it's just three pirate patrol ships...... Yang Shan didn't care about the three small pirate ships coming from afar, "Let's go here, the Hongyi cannon can destroy one with one shot!" There are also six jack furlong machines and many rockets, they are not opponents, and they will fight when they get closer. ”
Shen Yue looked at the two Hongyi cannons with thick barrels at the beginning and tail that had been reloaded, and his heart was a little settled.
The six jack furlong cannons in the second deck should also be ready!
He is not a military expert, and he has no command talent, so at present, he can only pin on Yang Shan not to brag.
Without waiting for Xu Duofu to command, the wrench beckoned and the wrench began to control the direction of the sails, allowing the ship to hit horizontally, while facing the three pirate ships that were getting closer and closer.
Shen Yue was a little worried, and at the same time, he looked at the three dhows that came quickly, sea battle!
The shipwrights and armed men all looked serious, and a swarm of cluster rockets was also moved to the terrace by the soldiers, and the cabin was next to the pirate ship's side of the shooting hole, sticking out a lot of dragon heads, Shen Yue knew that that thing was called fire dragon out of the water, and it was dedicated to water warfare.
"Zheng's patrol ship!" When the three ships were less than two miles away, the man at the top of the mast called out loudly.
Shen Yue on the top terrace had empty eyes, and he couldn't see clearly what was on the flag hanging on the top of the mast.
Daming's sea ship actually doesn't have a telescope!
No, you must find a Franco machine to do something, otherwise you will have to suffer.
Shen Yue didn't see the flag of the opposite ship clearly, but saw the three furlong cannons with thick bowls on the bow of the ship, and the three pirates stood next to the guns with torches in their hands, panicked in his heart, and urged Yang Shan to hurry up and fire the cannons.
Hearing that it was the Zheng family's patrol boat, where did Yang Shan dare to open fire, "My lord, we are all subordinates of the imperial court, if we hit the Zheng family's patrol boat, the Zheng family will be impeached......"
When the opposing ship entered a distance of 100 meters, Shen Yue finally saw clearly that the flag fluttering on the top of the mast had a big Zheng character written on it!
"This is not the waters of Zhejiang? Why did Zheng's men come here? Shen Yue asked Yang Shan next to him.
However, three small boats, against the huge warship they sat on, had no chance of winning at all, and when they got closer, they were easier to hit.
Shen Yue wanted to find the red-haired ghost, but the ship did not enter the main channel, and kept searching along both sides of the main channel, hoping to find the ship of the Franco.
Five days did not go out of the waters of Zhejiang, and now the location, according to Xu Duofu, belongs to the junction of Panshiwei and Jinxiangwei next to Wenzhou Mansion.
"Entering this sea area, can there be a Zheng Clan's Command Flag? Tell you to come out! When the distance between the two sides was less than twenty meters, a young man dressed in white and wearing a red cloak asked the man on the top terrace of the warship in a cold voice on the bow deck of a ship in the middle, which was about a foot longer than the two sides of the ship.
Behind him, a number of disheveled men were armed with muskets or bows and arrows against the soldiers on the ships.
They didn't even look at the Hongyi cannon and the Fran cannon on the ship.
It's as if they're the one who has the advantage.
"This pretending to be a criminal, on such a hot day, he is not afraid of covering the prickly heat!" Shen Yue was angry when he saw the other party, especially his arrogant words made him unhappy.
On the top of the warship, there is the flag of the Yellow Dragon Regiment of the Imperial Court Navy Division and the handsome flag of Sun Buren of Guanhaiwei Town.
Zheng Zhilong is just a guerrilla in Fujian's coastal defense, and his subordinates are arrogant.
However, people are arrogant and have the capital to be arrogant, and Zheng Zhilong has thousands of warships under him!
Shen Yue is now, with the entire Shen family's family assets plus cheating, he has only managed to get three ships that belong to him completely, and he has not yet formed a combat effectiveness.
The situation is stronger than people, and for the sake of a small life, you can only bow your head.
Xu Duofu looked at Yang Shan, Yang Shan frowned, and was about to go out to talk, but was stopped by Shen Yue.
"This is a patrol warship under the Daming Zhejiang Dusi Guanhaiwei Town, and we are ordered to search for traces of the red-haired ghost...... Shen Yue replied loudly, this belongs to Zhejiang territory, and Zheng Zhilong's people can't be so bold, they are not afraid, they should know that this is a sailor warship.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the other party's arrogance.
"I don't care what you do! If you enter our territory, you will either pay 3,000 tolls and we will protect your safety; Either...... Hehe......" said arrogantly.
"Hahahaha......" The other people on the three boats also leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
Rao is strength is hugely different, and he didn't take this warship seriously.
"My lord, now it seems that there is no way to be good!" Yang Shan said to Shen Yue with a worried expression.
Shen Yue gritted his teeth, the guy on the other side who couldn't figure out whether it was a soldier or a bandit was not their opponent at all, just from the actions of the shipwright and the soldier after receiving the warning before, it could be seen that they were all elite.
The problem is that some of them lost each other, and Zheng Zhilong got the news, so he didn't die.
