Zhang Chu returned and carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of Zheng Zhilong's fleet, Zheng Zhilong definitely couldn't swallow this breath, and ordered his fleet to reorganize into an attack formation and rush towards Zhang Chu's "Caiyun". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, Zhang Chu turned around and ran away very tastelessly, and also ran in the direction of Liuheng Island.

"The enemy is afraid, stop him, and don't let him flee into the bay." Zheng Zhilong's spirit was lifted, it seems that these Western warships must have something to do with the island, and now they want to escape into the port of the island, they can't just be so cheap.

The "Caiyun" approached the island of Liuheng, and the pirate fleet also pursued it. Since the "Caiyun" could only attack with the guns in the stern of the ship, the threat to the pirates was greatly reduced. Zheng Zhilong saw the opportunity and ordered his subordinates to chase after him with all his might, seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The pirates struggled to adjust the angle of the sails so that the ship could run faster, faster.

Suddenly, a dense burst of cannon fire came from the direction of the island, and a large number of shells were slammed into the pirate fleet at once. It turned out that the pirates were patronizing the ship chasing Zhang Chu and had accidentally entered the range of the castle artillery on the shore.

Zhang Chu approached the island to get to this effect, and he had already seen the signal from the island in the language of the flag. Yue Yue's boat had safely entered the harbor, and the castle was ready. Therefore, Zhang Chucai was relieved to approach the boat to the island.

The pirates were in a state of panic by the sudden artillery strike, and they all turned to flee from the range of the artillery. Zhang Chu's ship was not in a hurry to run away at this time, but turned to circle not far from Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and attacked the fleet with artillery from time to time.

"Leave the artillery on the shore alone and pursue the ship in front!" Zheng Zhilong gave the order loudly. He understood that all this today was caused by the ship in front of him, and that he could only destroy this ship or drive it far away, otherwise the attack on the island would be interfered with by it. The pirates received the order, and regardless of the casualties caused by the artillery fire on the island, they rushed towards Zhang Chu at full speed. When Zhang Chu saw this frame, he had no choice but to flee into the distance again.

"Chase, keep chasing, drive him away!" Zheng Zhilong was ruthless, saying that he would drive this hateful ship away.

The pirates, led by Zheng Zhilong, swarmed towards Zhang Chu's ship. They had not gone far when they heard the sound of artillery coming from the rear of the flotilla. It turned out that the "Caixia" of the security army fleet also turned back with two other sail warships, and they chose to target Zheng Zhilong's ships, which were slow to move due to injuries, where they were completely paralyzed at sea one by one. Zheng Zhilong, who was originally chasing the enemy, was now chased and beaten by others. And this time it was a real loss, the ship was injured and there was still a possibility of repair, and it was completely destroyed by the opponent and could only be thrown at sea. Moreover, the casualties of the sailors on the ship were also very large, and he could not help but save them. Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to order to stop the pursuit and come back to rescue the injured ship.

This time, Zheng Zhilong learned his lesson, and instead of chasing the enemy indiscriminately, he gathered all the ships of the fleet together, preparing to look for an opportunity to hit the enemy with one blow.

Zheng Zhilong's mind was running rapidly, and he soon had a way. He secretly conveyed the order downward. When Zhang Chu's ship turned back again, Zheng Zhilong chased after him with the fleet.

"Still chasing, you chase me and run." This is a bit unexpected by Zhang Chu, Zheng Zhilong obviously knows that the speed of the boat is not as fast as Zhang Chu's and is still chasing there, is there something wrong with his brain, but if you want to chase me, run away, Zhang Chu doesn't care about playing hide and seek with Zheng Zhilong.

Things are not as simple as Zhang Chu thought. Zhang Chu's boat was running leisurely there, saying in his heart: "You can't chase, you can't chase, I'm angry with you." ”

Suddenly, a dozen large fortune boats appeared in front of him, blocking the way to escape. Look at the flag on the ship is the Zheng family's ship, and it is the kind with artillery.

Zhang Chuxin said: "It's a big trouble, this Zheng Zhilong is really cunning." "Zheng Zhilong has been in battle for a long time, and his little skills of hitting and running are not difficult for him. When Zhang Chu turned back again, Zheng Zhilong had already calculated the route that Zhang Chu was going to escape this time, and quietly sent more than a dozen of his most elite warships to leave the brigade and sail directly to Zhang Chu's only way.

Zhang Chu was overwhelmed by the first two successes, and thought, "The old pirate is nothing more than that. "I accidentally fell into Zheng Zhilong's trap.

The pirates who intercepted Zhang Chu were of course not polite when they saw that Zhang Chu's ship had thrown itself into the net, and the ship's artillery opened fire at the same time and launched an attack on Zhang Chu's ship.

At this time, Zhang Chuke was deflated, and the hull of the "Caiyun" was hit by several shots, the ship was hit with several large holes, and the crew was also injured several times.

"Left full rudder! Left full rudder! Zhang Chu shouted desperately, asking the crew to turn the ship sharply to avoid the enemy's attack, and the guns on the side could also return fire.

Fortunately, several of the guns in the "Caiyun" were above the waterline, which did not affect the flexibility of the ship. The "Caiyun" smoothly turned around.

But at this delay, the pirate's ship had already rushed to the front of Zhang Chu's fleet while firing cannons.

Zhang Chu ordered the sailors to fire desperately to stop the enemy from approaching. The pirates fired their cannons as they charged, hoping for a miracle to break the mast or sail rope of the Rainbow, or to knock the Rainbow into a leak and slow it down.

Both sides did their best, and the shells flew sideways, and high columns of water rose around the ships, and occasionally the shells hit the ships, and immediately sent sawdust off the planks of the ship, and the nearby sailors wailed.

It is very difficult to sink a sail warship with solid bullets, and the pirates understand this, and in the end, it is up to the gang to kill the enemy and capture the ship in order to finally settle the battle.

The pirates understood this, so they fired their cannons while rushing forward desperately, they had a numerical advantage, and the two sides entered a white-knuckle battle, and the chances of the pirates winning would be greatly increased. Of course, Zhang Chu also understood, but there were too many enemy ships, and it was not so easy for him to escape easily when he was entangled.

Although the fastest Fu ship was hit by the guns on the "Caiyun", it still stubbornly rushed up, and the "Caiyun" collided heavily, and the next battle entered the familiar mode of pirates, they had already prepared a rope with a hook, threw it on the "Caiyun", hooked the ship to pull the two ships closer, and did not let the "Caiyun" have a chance to get out. At the same time, the bow and musket were constantly fired to prevent the sailors on the "Caiyun" from coming and cutting the rope. The sailors of the "Colorful Cloud" rushed to the deck and used muskets to knock the pirates who wanted to jump over the ship into the water.

Although the pirates suffered a lot of losses, they did not flinch, because they knew that if they held on a little longer, more pirate ships would come closer, and then the "Colorful Cloud" would have no chance to run if it wanted to.

Sure enough, not long after, another pirate ship also crashed into the hull of the "Caiyun", and the pirate began to climb up the "Caiyun" along the rope. (To be continued.) )
