Sima Nan is a veteran sailor with more than 20 years of experience, and when he was in the "Fuchun", he held the most important position of fire chief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that Fu Chun, the old owner of the Fuchun, died in a battle with the Dutch, and Sima Nan was unwilling to be under Fu Bin, who was useless in his opinion, and brazenly launched a mutiny. However, because Mao Shibai was on Fu Bin's side at that time, his rebellion failed, and he had to commit himself to Ren Siqi, who was self-reliant.

Sima Nan even looked down on Fu Bin, and naturally he also looked down on Ren Siqi, who had not dried up, when he first joined Ren Siqi's subordinates, he just had the intention of avoiding the limelight, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would naturally leave or replace him.

Who knew that after Ren Siqi became the owner of the "Flying Fish", he showed a strong ability, and first returned to Renjiawan to recruit many villagers, so that the "Flying Fish" was firmly controlled by him. Then, in the name of avenging Fu Bin, he attacked the Daishan pirates, and wiped out seventy or eighty pirates with just thirty or forty people on a sailing ship. Thus occupying Daishan Island and having a solid base.

Immediately went to Japan to trade, and even hooked up with the Japanese daimyo Matsuura family, and joined forces vertically and horizontally, buying warships, recruiting samurai, rapidly expanding strength, and finally killed the powerful Dutch fleet!

If it is said that Sima Nan was not convinced by Ren Siqi at first, but after a naval battle with the Dutch, Sima Nan was really convinced by Ren Siqi. I feel that under Ren Siqi, I will have a bright future in the future.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ren Siqi to first become an inspector of the Daishan Inspection Division, and then a guerrilla general, and Sima Nan also rose to the top, and was appointed as a thousand households, commanding a fleet of more than 30 ships.

Qianhu, the military attache of the fifth grade, is theoretically at the same level as the prefect, which Sima Nan didn't even dare to think about before, but now it has become a reality.

Therefore, the current Sima Nan can be said to be dead set on Ren Siqi, and he is one of the most loyal subordinates.

In the past few days, according to Ren Siqi's orders, Sima Nan used Cen Harbor as a base to inspect the waters south of Zhoushan and captured eight sea ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Two days ago, after receiving Ren Siqi's order to be on guard, Sima Nan led the fleet not to go far, but to cruise in the nearby seas, carefully guarding Cen Port.

Although most of the captured sea ships were sent back to Daishan, there were still two ships left in Cen Port, and there were a large amount of materials in the warehouse of Cen Port, which were smuggled goods from the other side of the river purchased by Cen Port in the past two months.

After receiving the news from the clipper, Sima Nan left and ordered the fleet to leave the port, and he wanted to personally lead the team to meet the officers and troops of the sea to meet the attack.

If it comes to naval battles, Sima Nan is not convinced by anyone, and Mao Shibai is just a brave man in his eyes, but he is at the head of the generals by relying on Ren Siqi's trust.

Under Sima Nan's order, more than 30 sailing ships spread their full sails and quickly headed towards the incoming Dinghai Navy.

Ten miles west of Cen Harbor, the two fleets met head-on.

The Daishan army had 35 warships, including 5 three-masted ships and 1,200 soldiers. There were 50 warships of the Zhang Kui Department of the Dinghai Navy, including 6 three-masted ships and 1,500 soldiers.

The two sides were close in strength, and in the eyes of many it was supposed to be a close battle, but the development of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Daishan military fleet drove downwind, fully exerting the advantage of speed, cutting towards the Dinghai naval fleet at high speed, crossing the edge of the "mouth" in front of the Dinghai naval line, and diagonally inserting into the middle of the Dinghai naval fleet.

Zhang Kui's flagship was at the front of the array, and he was going to take the lead in fighting, but who knew that the Daishan military fleet was not entangled with him at all, and when he was still more than twenty zhang away from his array, he slid over from the edge.

Then a rain of projectiles was shot from the Daishan army warship. For this battle, Ren Siqi dropped all the muskets from the infantry and divided them equally among the three fleets, each with more than 200 muskets.

At a distance of more than 20 zhang, just within the range of the muskets, more than 10 soldiers of the warship of the Dinghai Navy were hit at once.

"Turn the rudder and stick it!" Zhang Kui ordered loudly, and one by one the Lingqi was pulled up the mast along the rope. After seeing Zhang Kui's order, all the ships began to turn their rudders, desperately approaching the Daishan Army warship, trying to get close to the melee.

A two-masted galleon behind the front of the Dinghai Navy completed its rudder turn first, and sailed diagonally towards the Daishan military fleet coming from the opposite side, just stuck in front of the Daishan military fleet.

"Good!" Zhang Kui, who was paying close attention to the situation, shouted loudly, as long as this ship could block the other party for a moment and a half, the other ships would complete the rudder turn, quickly approach the other party, and then they would enter the most familiar mode of broadside combat in the Dinghai Navy.

However, Zhang Kui ignored the size and speed of the ship, the leading warship of the Daishan Army was a three-masted sailing ship, which was much larger in size and weight than the two-masted galleon blocking the road, and the speed was high, how could its impulse be withstood by the two-masted sailing ship?

The two ships collided together at once, and the angle of collision on the bow of the Daishan Army's three-masted galleon hit the side of the Dinghai two-masted sailing ship.

A huge crashing sound sounded, and then the two-masted galleon was suddenly knocked to the side, and the Dinghai officers and soldiers on the upper deck turned into rolling hoists under the huge impact, and there was no chance to engage in broadside battles at all.

This is not the end, I saw more than a dozen objects fall from the tall three-masted galleon of the Daishan Army, smashed on the deck of the two-masted galleon, and then a few sparks appeared at once, the fire spread, the entire deck burned into a piece, and the Dinghai sergeant above let out a terrible scream, and one by one the living people struggled, rushed towards the side of the ship, and jumped into the sea!

Zhang Kui looked at the burning sailboat in amazement, anger burning in his heart, roaring loudly, ordering the flagship to turn around and pursue the hateful Daishan army.

However, it is not so easy to make a U-turn at sea, which requires a big turn.

Just as Zhang Kui's flagship turned around, the Daishan military fleet had been inserted into the Dinghai fleet.

The continuous roar of muskets "bang-bang-bang" was thrown one by one on the deck of the sailing ship of the Dinghai Navy.

After tasting the sweetness of fire attack in the battle with the Dutch, the naval generals of the Daishan Army vigorously advocated fire attack tactics, summarized fire attack tactics many times, and put forward many suggestions.

For example, in order to throw the fire pot onto the opponent's ship, the Daishan army developed a small stone throwing machine, which was smaller than the one in the naval war between Japan and the Dutch, but only a wooden frame was set up with a bar, and only two people needed to operate it, and the fire pot could be thrown twenty feet away.

In addition to the stone thrower, a soldier who had spared sheep proposed a simpler way of throwing, just tie the fire pot with a rope, and a person can throw the fire pot to ten feet by throwing the rope, but this method the fire pot cannot be too large.

Under the attack of the Daishan army, many Dinghai warships fell into a sea of fire. (To be continued.) )
