Just as Zheng Jiajun was escorting and interrogating those pirate captives, the last few ships of the sailor ships led by Lin Xishan suddenly sounded the alarm, and the sharp sound of gold was so harsh in the silent sea.

Lin Xishan hurriedly ran to the stern of the ship to look, and an unknown fleet appeared on the sea not far from his own ship, heading towards this side.

By the light of the moon, Lin Xishan quickly saw that it was not the fleet of the Zheng family's sailors. The comer was not good, Lin Xishan immediately ordered the ship to turn around and prepare for the battle!

The water village of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan is built on the shore of a horseshoe-shaped bay, backed by a hill and facing the sea. In order to block the pirate ships, the ships of the Zheng family's naval division all sailed into the coast, and now it is not easy for Lin Xishan to turn the bow of the ship.

With dense ships and narrow bays, even the well-trained Zheng family sailors are in a mess at the moment, head to tail, tail to waist.

The Zheng family's ship had not yet turned its bow, but the other party had already arrived one step ahead and was blocked at the mouth of the bay.

The sharp-eyed sailors on the Zheng family's ship suddenly shouted loudly, "It's Hongyi's big ship!" ”

I saw that the flotilla was led by a Western-Ocean ship, and when the flotilla sailed to the mouth of the bay, the leading few fortune ships and the Western-style ship waved out in a row, aiming their guns at the Zheng family's sailors!

"Zhao Jiu, you son of a bitch. What the eldest brother said is really not wrong, you really dare to betray the eldest brother, collude with the smiling tiger, and want to murder the eldest brother. Fortunately, the eldest brother was wise and knew your tricks, so he deliberately lured you to the bait, so he came to catch the turtle in an urn and wiped out all of you guys who are not capable of doing anything. Hahaha...... "Black-hearted Tiger Zhao Yan's henchmen, Zhao Lide was standing at the bow of the Hongyi big ship at the moment and shouted towards the Zheng family's sailors.

Hearing Zhao Sande's words, he saw the fleet of black-hearted tigers blocking the mouth of the bay. Li San and Zhao Jiu were on the sand boat, and they were in a panic. "It's Master De, and the big boss is also here?"

"Mom, I don't want to fall into the hands of the big boss."

"Zhao Jiu, ** bastard, we are all miserable by you!"

"Master De, the little one didn't betray the big one. The small one is forced, please forgive me! “

Zhao Lide said arrogantly: "It's too late to think about begging for mercy now, kill me!" "The Blackheart Tiger ship opened fire first

The ships of the Black-Hearted Tiger in the bay opened fire, and with a bang, forty-one shells were fired in an instant. The flames that come out of the burning of gunpowder turn night into day in an instant.

The Xiyi ship was armed with eighteen nine-pounder guns and six thirteen-pounder cannons. Fortunately, the firepower of the other ships of the Black-Hearted Tiger Zhao Yan was very small, and only 4 of them had two six-pounder guns and two three-pounder guns. As for the other ships, they did not have artillery at all.

In this era, artillery was not strong enough in accuracy and power on land, let alone on the bumpy sea. In naval battles, if you are unlucky, you may even shoot hundreds of shells, and not a single shell can hit the ship you touch.

After the ship turned its bow with difficulty, Lin Xishan shouted, "All ships immediately cut off the tracing rope and rushed out of the harbor with their way." Listen, brothers, as long as you hold on a little longer, our reserve ship will be there soon, and now rush me! ”

It turned out that when Lin Xishan heard about the water village of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan, it was built in a narrow bay, in order to be on the safe side, he divided the Zheng family sailor into two parts, one part was led by Lin Xishan to rush into the waterway to block the waterway of the black-hearted tiger water village, and the other was led by Zheng Chenggong, wandering around the periphery of the bay and arresting the arrested ships at any time.

Three of the Black-Hearted Tiger's 41 shells hit the Zheng family's ship and wounded more than 30 sailors.

Seeing the powerful firepower of the Black-Hearted Tiger ship, Zhao Jiu and Li San's subordinates suddenly mutinied, and some wanted to shout that the ship was about to dock, and they wanted to flee to land; Some people wanted to kill Zhao Jiu and them, and they wanted to use the heads of Li San and others to plead guilty to the big boss.

Li San and Zhao Jiu's henchmen were desperately resisting those rebels, but their numbers were too small after all, and they were soon forced to jump into the sea for the rebels. Li San and Zhao Jiu saw that the situation was not good, so they also jumped into the sea to escape.

Seeing that the second round of shelling of the Black-Hearted Tiger's battleship destroyed one of his sand boats, Lin Xishan was on fire, bowed his head and scolded, damn the firepower is so strong. He drew his sword and shouted, "The enemy's fire is too strong, give me the order, divide the ships into two groups, get out of the way, disperse on both sides, and rush over me, the sand boats will approach the enemy ships at all costs, and hook the enemy ships with their hooks." As long as you get close to the other party's ships, that's our world. ”

After hearing Lin Xishan's order, the herald immediately raised the windproof lamp and banged the gong to convey Lin Xishan's order to various ships.

After receiving the order, the well-trained sailors of the Zheng family steered the ships and responded quickly. The sudden turn of the ship caused the ship to tilt sharply under the action of the center of gravity of the three masts. The sailors on the deck were busy grasping the fixed objects or sail lines around them, and some of them fell down on the spot and fell into the sea.

Controlling a sailboat in this era is not a simple matter, not only requires the captain to react quickly in various situations, but also the sailors on the ship must also cooperate effectively, otherwise not only can not sail the sailboat, but even in the case of the sudden change of direction just now, it is even more likely to make the ship overturned, dead and destroyed.

The swing of the boat rippled the water, and the waves rushed to the side of the ship, drenching the sailors on the lower side, and the late winter water felt bitterly cold. But no one cared about it at this time, and when the ship began to regain balance, the sailors who operated the sails immediately pulled up the sail ropes and struggled to adjust the direction of the sails, so that the ship could withstand the wind to the maximum and increase the speed to the fastest under the impetus of the wind.

The artillerymen on the ship hurriedly ran to their respective posts, and in groups of four or five people, pushed the Fran guns to the gun position, cleared the chamber, loaded the powder bag, loaded the runaway bombs, and shouted, "The gun position is ready!" Lin Xishan looked at the enemy ship in front of him, stiffened his face, and said without looking back, "Wait a minute, get closer." ”

The guns of the Blackheart Tiger continued to fire, and after three rounds, the ships of the two armies were already less than 300 meters apart. Because Zheng Jiajun's ships were all heading towards the mouth of the bay at this time, the originally scattered ships inevitably gathered together.

The target was bigger, and the casualties of the Zheng family's naval army began to increase, especially the six thirteen-pounder guns on the Xiyi sailing ship brought heavy casualties to the Zheng family's army.

Eighty or ninety sailors were killed or wounded under the shelling of the Black-Hearted Tiger ships, two sand boats were damaged, and the masts of the sails of three sand boats were broken, and they could no longer sail.

The deck of the waterline of a fortune ship was pierced, a large amount of sea water poured in, and the fortune ship slowly sank.

The adjutant general said anxiously, "General, let's shoot back." If this continues, the casualties of our army will be too great! ”
