[It's still a big chapter of 7K, at the end of the month, brothers, smash the ticket, hehe.]

Liu Hong's pirate ship crossed the smoking enemy ship and fired two cannons at another local wooden ship that turned around and ran away, this feeling of shelling at an ultra-close range is really refreshing, this is to fire, this two hundred meters away is an ironclad hit, plus the high-explosive flowering shells produced by the Mawei Artillery Bureau, the explosion caused a fire on the opponent's ship.

However, it is obvious that Liu Hong has no intention of killing everything, he didn't even realize that he had killed a big leader of the other party on the first battleship, and what he was doing now was provocation, provocation, and provocation.

However, he obviously overestimated the magnanimity of the bandit leader Hu Luo, he hid far away on the flank of a small island outside the port, and before he found the second chance to provoke, seven or eight pirate ships had already swarmed out of the other port, and Liu Hong even recognized the 3,000-ton ship of the bandit leader Hu Luo and a variegated flag flying high on the other party's ship at a glance.

This flag is really ugly, how can the red flag of our Nanyang Navy Division be eye-catching and exciting, Liu Hong sneered a few words, and hurriedly slipped out from behind the island, not slipping his feet at this time, let alone when! There are basically steamships here, and the speed is about the same, but there are a few more cannons and a lot of shells on my ship, and this speed is somewhat affected......

Hu Luo stood in the cockpit of his 3,000-ton iron-wedged wooden ship, his eyes breathing fire, already on the verge of going out, these days the ships that went out to rob are doing good business, they naturally have no taboos to rob, but the best targets are of course the Chinese and Japanese merchant ships, because these ships generally have little ability to resist.

The two ships that came back yesterday robbed a British ship from Malacca, under normal circumstances, they did not take the initiative to plunder the British merchant ship, but this time the two ships had been rocking at sea for too long without business, and when they saw this British merchant ship, they also started to do it, but after robbing it, they found out that something had happened, and there were several British diplomats on this ship.

However, the figure of the British woman sent by the leader of his subordinates is definitely convex and backward, and it is very angry, and I hugged it all night yesterday, and I wanted to make up for sleep today, who knew that there were ghosts and wolves in the morning, and I said that my own brother was killed in the port by the Chinese pirate surnamed Liu who led people to besiege him some time ago

This news made him a little stunned at the time, the Chinese pirate surnamed Liu was much worse than his own, and he didn't dare to come out of the nest he beat himself in the nest a few days ago, and finally he didn't have the interest to besiege him before letting him go, but he didn't expect to dare to bully him today, and immediately ordered all the ships that could go to war, ready to come out and beat the other party to death, to avenge his brother

As soon as the fleet left the port, they saw the ship surnamed Sun slipping out from behind the island in the distance and fled in a hurry, obviously wanting to escape because of the strong strength on their side

"Chase! Chase me to Quezon Harbor and kill this bastard for me! Hu Luo roared hysterically and issued an order to kill without stopping

Sun Hong looked at the large number of fleets chasing out from behind, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, his plan to lure the snake out of the hole, but he didn't expect it to have such a big effect, and he originally expected to lead out three or four at most, why did this Hu Luo go crazy and shake out his family foundation at once

The fleets of both sides sailed at full speed, one after the other, and the boilers on this ship could not run long at full pressure, and the boilers of these merchant ships could not be compared with regular warships at all, and the fastest speed was only eleven knots, and at this speed they could sail for a maximum of one or two hours, and now both sides were desperately catching up.

Sun Hong also knows that there is a danger, there is also an artillery cannon on this Huluo big ship, the power is not small, he can't force him in, otherwise he will eat a cannon, if he is unlucky, it will also be more auspicious, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Withdraw at full speed, our mission to lure the enemy is a great consummation...... How long does it take to get to Halle? ”

The helmsman on the side looked at the clock, "Sun Tongzhi, I rushed for half an hour when I came, and I guess I can get there at this time!" Now Sun Hong attaches great importance to his hard-won official title, and asks his subordinates not to call themselves boss, but to call them by official names......

"Alright, full speed out!"

Hu Luo chased behind, and at this time there was smoke above his head, and the speed of his big boat was obviously much faster than that of the bastard in front, but the bastard on the other side saw the opportunity very early, and chased this old man for a long time, and narrowed a lot, but the distance between the two sides was still more than 5 kilometers, and it seemed that he really had to chase this bastard's lair today.

He slapped the little minion next to him on the head, and roared loudly, "Rabbit cub, go and tell the coal-burning pig below, burn the boiler for me, slaughter the bastard in front of you today, and let you all go to the Yanma and open foreign meat!" ”

When the minions heard the boss offer a bounty, they all howled, and after a while the boilermen in the bilge of the work had obviously received the order, and the speed of the ship was a little faster, and Hu Luo and a group of minions shouted and screamed, and made a strong presence before the battle

The helmsman next to him suddenly asked loudly: "Sir, the ship in front of you has turned into the Halle Strait......

"Chase in, chase this bastard's lair and rush in!" Hu Luo's eyes were red, and he brandished the Winchester 1873 lever rifle in his hand, which was his big killing weapon, which could be loaded with 13 rounds and had an astonishing rate of fire, and with his current proficiency, these 13 rounds could be used up in a minute, and he didn't know how many people on the merchant ship had been killed under this gun.

The fleets of the two sides entered the strait one after the other, Liu Hong looked at the enemy who was chasing behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, this Hu Luo's ship ran fast, and even left the other 7 ships nearly five kilometers away......

Thinking that he had just joined the Nanyang Naval Division, but he had not made an inch, although it was a small achievement to lure the enemy today, and he also sank a ship of the opponent, but compared to the merit of the battle, it was much smaller! Thinking that he is a son of a big family in Nanyang, this big husband should be a horizontal knife and make immortal achievements...... Thinking of this, Sun Hong's excited blood surged, holding the Type 80 submachine gun specially presented by Xu Shoushan, his expression was solemn, and he ordered loudly: "Load the shells and prepare to attack!" Get on deck and get ready for battle! ”

Hu Luo in the distance held his Winchester rifle and nervously looked at the enemy ship that was gradually approaching in the distance, and suddenly the helm next to him shouted in surprise: "Sir, that bastard's ship has turned, he wants to resist us!" ”

Hu Luo was also a little confused, turned his head to look behind, and found that he was chasing too actively, and he actually left the follow-up fleet for at least five kilometers, could it be that the bastard on the other side wanted to take the opportunity to fight with him? It is likely that this is the reason, he wants to fight against Lao Tzu, he looked at Sun Hong's ship of less than 2,000 tons on the opposite side with disdain, and shouted an order, "Rush up, get close to me and beat me hard, slaughter the kid surnamed Sun, and there will be a reward!" ”

The warships of the two sides were originally less than 5 kilometers apart, and after Sun Hong's ships turned, the distance was immediately greatly reduced, but it was obvious that their artillery was carried onto the ship by army artillery, and the accuracy of aiming and shooting was very poor, plus they were all part-time artillerymen, this level of water was enough, unless they were shot at close range, they basically belonged to the kind that did not have an accurate head.

None of the two sides had the idea of firing the cannon first, and basically after this cannon was fired, the two sides were able to engage in a fierce gunfight at close range, or jump over the side in hand-to-hand combat, so this cannon was only fired at the last moment

Rice......

1700 m ......

1500 m ......

Both sides were able to count the enemies on the opposite side, but it was obviously not yet time to fire! Judging by Sun Hong's experience, this distance is a cannon shot, and every shot misses

1000 m ......

800 m ......

Both sides could see the platoon of guns raised behind the side of the opposite ship, but there was still no intention of firing at this time

As the ships drew closer again, both sides could clearly see the enemy on the opposite side, and almost at the same time, the small-caliber guns fixed on the gun carriages on the foredecks of the two ships let out a roar...... Between the lightning and flint, smoke rose from both ships, and it was clear that the gunners on both sides had a very good result at the distance from which they fired directly from the muzzle

But obviously, Hu Luo suffered a big loss this time, he didn't expect that after a month, the bastard surnamed Sun would suddenly have more cannons on his ship, this thing is not easy to find at sea! He was hit by a cannon in the cabin, causing a fire in the forward cabin, and a gang of minions were leading people to put out the fire, which was not fatal

But the other cannon was not fatal to his warship, but it only killed a lot of people, and that shot hit the side of the ship impartially, and after breaking through the side of the ship, there was a violent explosion on the foredeck, and the fragments and the air wave of the explosion swept across a large circle with a diameter of 5 meters, and no one in the circle survived, leaving only a piece of broken human flesh and dregs

It was 5 meters away, and many people were overturned by the air wave and injured by the flying fragments, which made those minions who shouted "kill all" silent for a while.

Hu Luo can also be regarded as bloodthirsty, but at this time, seeing the stumps and broken intestines thrown on the foredeck, he can't help but feel a little creepy, and his confidence in this decisive battle is actually a little weaker, but he immediately realized that now is the time to play with his life, raised his gun, shouted loudly, and raised the reward several times, "Kill one enemy, reward Eagle Yang 50!" ”

An eagle ocean, this is a silver that may not be available in a year on weekdays, and the minions immediately shouted and shouted under the stimulation of the silver reward, making a strong name for themselves

Sun Hong was also disgraced at this time, and the cannon on the opposite side smashed into a cabin behind the cockpit impartially, but the power of the other party's flowering bomb was obviously much smaller, after the explosion, the ship board between the two cabins was lifted, and the flying fragments killed several small leaders in the rear cabin, and the cockpit was filled with exhaust gas and dust from the explosion.

He rushed out of the cabin and onto the deck, where a dozen or so leaders were already on standby, all with rifles in their hands, waiting to get within range

The distance between the two sides is close to 100 meters, but Sun Hong has already ordered not to engage with the other party, and the full speed is biased to the side of the strait, when the two ships are quickly staggered, the gunfire of "bang bang bang" continues, think about it, it is natural that Sun Hong, who has a lot of guns, took advantage of it, which made Hu Luo even more angry, but at this time, the two sides were coming, after staggering, and opened up a lot of distance, he hurriedly ordered the ship to prepare to turn around and continue to volley.

Although he couldn't pick up the ship this time, Hu Luo was still very happy in his heart, and now the other party obviously fell between himself and the follow-up fleet, and he could take advantage of the situation to attack...... But soon, he found out that the other party also had the same idea as him, and the other two ships in the opponent's fleet were originally hanging far away, and they were also quickly inserted to prepare for melee combat.

The 7 boats behind him had just sailed into the strait at this time, and they were still at least 4 kilometers away from him, but the ships that were attacking him were all about to stick up, and the bandit leader Hu Luo was shocked after being overjoyed! However, he has always been fierce, naturally he will not be at a loss, and immediately ordered to turn around and attack, regardless of the opponent's attack behind him, as long as he staggers the position of the opponent, his reinforcements will soon arrive

After quickly turning the bow of the ship, both sides began to quickly calculate whether to use this opportunity to give the other party a fatal blow, but it was obvious that Hu Luo was a little more worried about the power of the opponent's artillery, and the fire in the bilge behind the middle gun in the front has not been extinguished yet, but fortunately, it has been charged.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind that his reinforcements would wait for about ten minutes, and now he couldn't be stolen by the three boats on the opposite side, so he immediately ordered loudly, biting the other party's tail tightly, but not making contact with the other party, and using the gun in the bow of the ship to bombard.

Liu Hong wanted to come to a circle, but it was obvious that the other party did not cooperate at all, and the speed of his ship had no advantage, and he couldn't rely on it for a while, but this was also an acceptable result for him, so the small-caliber guns on the two merchant ships shelled each other after opening up the distance, but this accuracy and shelling speed were completely miserable.

After only two rounds of bombardment, the reinforcements behind Hu Luo were killed, Liu Hong saw that the heat was almost over, and he turned around and fled to the other end, his slippery feet were definitely hot, and when Hu Luo was about to step forward to intercept, he had already started to slip away.

"Bastard!" Standing in the cockpit again, Huro jumped out of smoke above his head, brandished his Winchester 1873 lever rifle, and shouted loudly, "Catch up...... Catch up...... Slaughter this slippery bastard! ”

In fact, this Halle Strait is just a long strip of channel between Halle Island and Purin Island on the other side, only seven or eight kilometers before and after, and the two fleets chased after each other in a chaotic manner, and soon all entered the strait

Suddenly, Hu Luo saw a loud bang on Liu Hong's merchant ship in front of him, and a shining ball of light was raised, shooting at a height of hundreds of meters, and he didn't understand the other party's intentions for a while, but he was a little more vigilant in his heart, it was obvious that the other party would not put such a thing for no reason, it looked more like a signal

Before he could figure out the cause and effect, a leader broke in in a panic and howled loudly: "Big lord, big lord, ambush!" The lookout post saw that reinforcements from the other side appeared at the mouth of the strait, 3 ships, all of which were battleships!! ”

The news from the lookout post made Hu Luo suddenly panic, and there were reinforcements from the other party in front, indicating that the person surnamed Liu was obviously prepared, and the reinforcements were still warships, not pirate ships transformed from merchant ships...... They are pirates who lick blood at sea, and they know the difference between a warship and a pirate ship best. ,

Even the most old-fashioned sailing ship gunboat battleship can beat these pirate ships that can't find the north, and the battleship can't move more than a dozen guns of different sizes, and it is really easy to deal with their own wooden ships, and there is no pressure at all

Of course, the pirates were not completely helpless to see the battleship, they also besieged the passing warship back then, that was to concentrate on more than ten days of battleships to surround a lone Portuguese sail warship, and finally paid a heavy price before sinking it by ramming the other party, wanting to catch the battleship with hundreds of guns and many large and small guns, it was almost like sending it to death

"Bastard...... Actually colluded with the Spaniards! Retreat, retreat, retreat! "The heroes don't suffer the immediate losses, Hu Luo immediately ordered to slip his feet, for those who do their business, if they can't fight, they can run, which is the most basic thing, and the only one who has a warship in the Sulu Sea is the Spaniards, which is also the reason why Hu Luo made a judgment.

Just after giving the order, the little leader who came in front to report rushed in again, and his face was already blank at this time, "Master...... Something happened again, and three more warships appeared on the other side of our retreat, which must be battleships! ”

Hu Luo stepped forward and kicked the little leader to the ground, and asked loudly: "Bastard, have you seen clearly, how can there be so many warships to besiege us, even if it is the Spanish fleet, it makes no sense!" ”

The leader fell to the ground, but his head was still like pecking rice, and he kept nodding, and said tremblingly: "Master, it must be a battleship, that look is not ordinary!" Let's get out of here! ”

Hu Luo was completely shocked at this time, and his mind was quickly thinking about this sudden situation, there were three warships in front, plus three pirate ships of the bastard surnamed Liu, and three warships in the back...... Don't think about it, just turn around and run

At this time, the interception fleet with the 701 ship as the vanguard had already rushed into the strait, Xu Shoushan looked at the panicked pirates in the distance who were turning the bow of the ship, squinting his eyes and observing, the fleets of the two sides were approaching rapidly, the pirates were obviously panicked, and the direction of the U-turn was chaotic, which caused the formation to be more chaotic

The distance between the two sides is rapidly narrowing, and the distance will soon be shortened to 4 kilometers, but Xu Shoushan is obviously not ready to waste the meaning of large-caliber heavy artillery, he observed the position, and immediately ordered: "Full speed assault, rapid-fire guns, machine guns are ready to shoot, Liu Ye, heavy artillery is only allowed to shoot one shot, be sure to hit!" ”

Liu Ye poked his head out of the shooting command room and responded loudly, "My lord, I received!" Then he immediately retracted his head and arranged the shooting targets for each running position, and for a time the officers passed the shooting orders to the various gun positions one after another.

By the time the distance was quickly approached to 3 kilometers, the 701 had already completed its acceleration, and at full speed of 18 knots, the huge hull of the ship slashed through the waves and rushed towards the opposite group of pirate ships, completely ignoring the existence of these Sulu pirates......

3500 m ......

3000 m ......

It has completely reached the firing distance of rapid-fire guns, but the officers on the gun position have no intention of wasting shells

Rice......

Rice......

At this distance, whether it is a 120mm rapid-fire gun or a 254mm heavy gun, it is already a complete direct fire! Liu Ye, the shooting officer, had already issued the shooting order without hesitation, and suddenly the 701 battleship running at high speed let out an earth-shattering roar, and the thick barrel mouth spewed out thick black smoke, and the huge recoil force made the high-speed battleship pause

The three heavy guns at close range hit the three pirate ships on the side of the front very accurately, and for the 701 ship gun with a firing angle of 300 degrees, these eight pirate ships were all in the shooting angle, but at this time, the pirate ship of the bandit leader Hu Luo had already reached the front and escaped.

The other three pirate ships that followed him were very sad to become scapegoats, and the shooting officer had already received the order, and Xu Guandao gave a heavy cannon fire quota today, naturally staring at the vital parts of the other party, and the three shells were all hit at the waterline in the center of the ship without exception.

Kilograms of shells smashed the wooden planks at the waterline without any suspense, and the force of this collision alone is no longer something that this kind of wooden boat can withstand! The huge hole looked shocking, and then a huge explosion spewed out all sorts of things, steel, planks, stumps, broken arms, and ......

Two of the hulls of the medium guns made a strange creaking sound, and then, in the black smoke and fire, they broke in two, and in a minute or two, they became two large whirlpools on the sea! The other lost its speed altogether, and stopped spinning in place, the whole ship shrouded in black smoke.

Liu Hong looked at the chaotic fleet behind him at this time, and was naturally in a very comfortable mood, and loudly ordered the bow of the ship to be turned around, and followed the battleship in front of him to prepare for battle, but after seeing the powerful shooting of the flagship, he also opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know how to express his surprise for a while.

After the heavy artillery of the 701 ship was completed, these gunners who shot officers and main guns stayed in the turret a little depressed, and they all looked strange......

However, those secondary artillery firing groups that rarely have the opportunity to play have been completely released today, and the shooting officer has already issued an order that there must be a hit rate of more than 9 percent, otherwise the boiler will be punished! This was completely live-fire target training, and after a moment, the 701 ship had crashed into the opponent's remaining 6 warship groups like a tiger, and the Maxim machine gun crews and 120mm rapid-fire gun crews on both sides began a complete crushing operation, and the accurate shells and 11MM machine gun bullets immediately beat the pirates to jump.

The pirate ships in all directions saw this battleship completely wrapped in steel, and they were already frightened of the six gods, and they only had one thought now, the farther away from this steel monster, the better, and the fighting spirit to resist

However, Hu Luo was still a little unwilling to be annihilated at this time, he brandished the Manchester 1873 rifle and rushed to the front of the deck to the gun, at this time the ship was crowded with a large number of minions, all holding rifles of various specifications in their hands and shooting aimlessly at the steel monster in the distance, which was completely futile......

And the counterattack on the opposite side was indeed a high-explosive bomb of more than 20 kilograms, and the shooting machine was accurate and fast, and there were shells falling on the deck every minute, setting off a rain of blood! And there was also Makqin machine gun fire on the opposite side, and sawdust flew on the side of the wooden ship, and the bandits who approached fell in pieces.

Hu Luo cursed this bastard surnamed Sun in his mouth, because where these battleships came from, and he still didn't figure it out at all, "Aim at the opposite battleship and hit me!" He roared loudly with his rifle

The two bandits in charge of firing the cannon looked panicked, although the distance was not more than 1.5 kilometers, but for these gunners who were halfway home, it was still an extremely difficult task to hit the huge ironclad ship not far away! However, at this time, when he saw the cramping horizontal flesh on the old man's face, he didn't dare to say much, and lay on the barrel of the cannon and aimed carefully

Rumble...... The small 100mm iron cannon spewed out projectiles violently, and the huge recoil even knocked a scurrying bandit to the side of the ship and was seriously injured! Hu Luo nervously looked at the battleship opposite, expecting a miracle to happen

This time, the god of luck actually came, and a black smoke erupted from the waist of the battleship in the distance, and it was obvious that the cannonball magically hit the other party! Hu Luo jumped up, "***, rabbit cub, that's good!" Hit the mark...... Hit! ”

The two cannon bandits were also very excited, they didn't expect that there would be such a magical hit rate today, and at this distance, they might not be able to hit a single shot even if they fired more than a dozen shots in the past! But...... They immediately observed the velocity cannon point that was spraying projectiles above the hit area on the opposite side, what was going on...... was hit by a cannon, and those gun positions were still spraying shells very regularly

A few seconds later, the black smoke that the opposite battleship hit dissipated, and Hu Luo, who was holding a telescope to observe, found that this very accurate shot only left a black circle half a meter in size on the side armor of the opponent's ship, which had no effect at all

This wordless result made him immediately lose the confidence to continue fighting, where did this fleet come from, his own artillery was sent by the Dutch, it was very powerful, it was useless, in this case, it seems that there is only a way to escape! Hu Luo's determination at this moment was extremely firm, "Retreat and retreat, and order everyone to withdraw at full speed!" ”

However, this cannon obviously sounded his death knell, Liu Ye immediately discovered that there would be a small cannon on the pirate ship here, although this thing was almost no threat, but if it happened to be smashed on the deck gun position, it would also cause casualties, and immediately the two guns on the port side pointed at Hu Luo's small cannon

When Hu Luo was about to run back to the cabin, two 120mm shells smashed on the left and right sides of the gun position almost at the same time, and the ten kilograms of TNT explosives in the shells immediately set off a huge wave of air, fragments and black smoke spread from the center of the explosion to all sides at the same time, around this origin, the bandits within 5 meters around were swept to the ground without exception.

Hu Luo was unlucky to be at the center of the explosion, and after the violent explosion, the surrounding bandits immediately discovered that the old man who had been extremely strong and had been arrogant in the Sulu Sea for more than ten years had evaporated from the world...... Leaving a scrap of meat behind!.
