Chapter 451: Victory
Zhang Chu relied on the flexibility and mobility of the battleship he was riding to walk Zheng Zhilong's fleet at sea, but he didn't expect to follow the scheming Zheng Zhilong's way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The "Caiyun" was hit by two pirate ships of the Zheng family, and the pirates climbed up the "Caiyun" along the rope.
Zhang Chu was also very nervous at this time, and hurriedly ordered the crew of the ship to shoot, knocking the pirates into the water one after another. But these pirates are long-time bandits, using obstacles to avoid the attacks of the security forces, and at the same time using bows, crossbows, flying axes and other weapons to fight back. The casualties of the security forces continued to increase, the number of pirates aboard the ships increased, and the crews of the security forces were reduced to a small area.
"Good! Go up! It worked! Zheng Zhilong was always paying attention to the battle situation ahead, and couldn't help but shout when he saw the pirates boarding the enemy ship.
"Quick! Come over and get on board! Zheng Zhilong gave a desperate order.
More pirate ships saw hope and sped up in the direction of the "Caiyun".
The battle between the two sides on the "Caiyun" entered a white-hot stage, and the gunners of the security army reloaded their bullets as fast as they could, desperately shooting at the pirates. The pirates used everything they could use as cover to hide from the bullets, pushing forward while looking for opportunities to fight back. There are more and more pirates on deck, and the situation of the security forces is critical.
"Surrender, you won't last long. There are many of our people, and they have surrendered and let you live. Some of the pirates shouted loudly behind the obstacles, and they were answered by a denser burst of bullets.
"Rush over, and leave not a single mouth alive!" An annoyed pirate leader shouted, and more pirates rushed forward.
Suddenly, two long fiery snakes erupted from the security army's array, rolling towards the charging pirates. The pirates who rushed to the front immediately turned into fireballs, screaming and rolling around the deck for a moment without a sound.
It turned out that the flamethrowers of the security forces had been transported in place and launched an attack on the pirates, and the flamethrowers spewed flames without dead ends, sweeping away the pirates on the deck, even hiding behind obstacles. The fire was still in flames, and the crew of the security forces had rushed forward with their muskets loaded with bayonets, stabbing the pirates on the deck who had not yet died of burns.
The flamethrower's flames had turned towards the pirates who were climbing up the Rainbow, and a few jets had burned them out into the sea.
Several sturdy security guards rushed to the side of the ship with huge explosive packets and threw the ignited explosives packs onto the deck of the pirate ship attached to the "Caiyun".
The deck of the pirate ship is full of pirates ready to join the gang. Before the pirates could understand what was going on, the explosive pack exploded, and the severed limbs and pieces of the ship's planks flew together, leaving the deck in a bloody mess.
"Get out of here!" The surviving pirates shouted loudly.
I originally wanted to rely on the security army to take advantage, but I didn't expect the security army's methods to be even more ferocious. If you don't dare to leave, the ship will be blown apart.
This time, it was the pirates who began to scramble with knives to cut the ropes between the two ships. The security forces were unforgiving, and more explosives were thrown onto the pirate ship, causing more casualties to the pirates.
The two pirate ships attached to the "Caiyun" were treated equally, and the pirates on board were killed and wounded.
The other pirate ships were even more anxious when they saw the sudden change, and wanted to rush over to rescue the two bombed ships, but the guns on the security ships fired desperately to prevent the pirate ships from approaching. The security guards took advantage of the opportunity to open several large wooden crates on the deck, set up the rockets inside, adjust the direction and angle, and aim at the sails of the pirate ship chasing behind.
A few whistling sounds, the rocket dragged a long flaming tail across the sea, and the pirates watched in horror as the strange screaming and fire-breathing thing landed on their ship, and then turned into a large fireball, igniting the sails, and the ship's mast became a large torch, and the speed of the pirate ship that had lost its sails was greatly reduced, and the distance from the "Caiyun" became farther and farther away.
The security crew cut the ropes that the pirates hung on the hull of the "Caiyun", and the "Caiyun" finally got rid of the two shattered pirate ships that had been bombed, regained its speed, and broke out of the pirate encirclement. After Zhang Chu got out of trouble, he immediately ordered the ship's artillery to shoot fiercely at the pirates who were not far away, and wounded several pirate ships, and the two sides disengaged.
Zheng Zhilong felt extremely frustrated, his tactics had been successful, and his men had successfully attached to the enemy's battleship and climbed onto the deck, which was a sure victory in the past.
But today's opponent is simply too tough. At a long distance, the artillery was mostly fast, and the Zheng family's fleet had no power to fight back. Zheng Zhilong's men rushed to the opponent's boat desperately, but they didn't expect that the hand-to-hand combat at close range did not take advantage. Not only was they driven off the ship, but the scene was horrifying, and the screams of the living after being burned made these pirates, accustomed to licking blood with knives, feel terrified and lose the courage to rush forward again.
The two Zheng family's ships close to the security warships were blown into a pile of rotten wood floating on the sea, and the ships that were damaged by artillery made Zheng Zhilong's fleet suffer a lot of losses this time.
Zheng Zhilong ordered the crew to rush to rescue the pirates who had fallen into the water due to the damage of the ship, and then gathered the fleet and withdrew from the area. The loss of this naval battle would not hurt Zheng Zhilong, but he couldn't think of any good way to inflict losses on his opponent. If the two sides continue to fight, it will only be the unilateral damage to the Zheng family's fleet, and such a battle cannot be fought.
Seeing that the four sail warships of the security army were gathered together, Zheng Zhilong knew that he would suffer a loss if he fought them again, so he withdrew with the fleet. However, this Liangzi Zheng family is considered to have formed a relationship with the security army, and the hatred in Zheng Zhilong's heart will never subside.
The battle just now also made Zhang Chu blame himself, he accidentally let the pirates rush to the ship, and even Zhang Chu picked up a gun at the critical moment to participate in the battle, almost making them turn the tables, it seems that they can't despise the opponent at any time.
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong had withdrawn, Zhang Chu did not pursue, but sailed into the bay of Liuheng Island with the fleet. The boat docked to the dock, where Yue Yue and the others were already waiting, and the security soldiers on Liuheng Island couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers when they saw that their commander had brought a fleet to rescue them and beat the enemy away. After such a critical moment, the security army won again. With their commander Zhang Chu here, the security army will be invincible.
Zhang Chu ordered the people on the dock to quickly carry the wounded on the boat to the island for treatment, check the damage of the ship, and repair it as soon as possible, because he didn't know whether Zheng Zhilong swallowed this bad breath and withdrew, or whether he was looking for an opportunity to attack again.
