"All to all"

The ships on both sides opened fire as they moved quickly, and a large number of shells hit the sea to form magnificent waves.

Although the scene was beautiful, the commanders of both sides were not satisfied with it, because the vast majority of the artillery fire on both sides was empty, and few hit the target. This result was due to the fact that ships coming in opposite directions were very fast, and the opponent's target was very small, so it was too difficult to aim and concentrate on the opponent in the rough sea.

"Quick, quick, rush up, get tangled with them, and get ready to jump into the gang!" A large man dressed in a black hexagram and wearing an eye patch stood on the bow of the ship, urging his men to speed up. His name is Dulong, he is a famous general under Zheng Zhibao, and he is also a well-known hob meat, his subordinates are in charge of ten Cangshan boats, and one of his eyes was blinded by a bow and arrow when he was fighting with Liu Xiangbu, at this moment, he rushed to the front with ten Cangshan boats under his command.

The Zheng family's military group's more than ten years of piracy career is not in vain, in more than ten years of piracy career, they are actually best at gang hopping tactics, the so-called gang hopping tactics refers to jumping from one ship to another to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

It sounds simple, but gang jumping is one of the riskiest tactics of all, and it's no joke to stand on the side of a bumpy ship and prepare to jump onto another ship that is also jolting and about to move away at a rapid pace. The sea is no better than others, it seems that some people may say, the big deal is not to fall into the sea, and then swim on the boat, in fact, if he accidentally falls into the sea when jumping into the gang, he often ends up being hit by a speeding boat, or being sandwiched into a roll cake by two crossed boats.

Therefore, in the West, pirates often refer to gang jumping as a game of the brave. Due to the need for plunder, the Zheng family group is best at this tactic, they will often jump on those ships that are unwilling to pay them protection money, plunder the valuable goods on board, and then kill all the people on board, and finally leave.

Today, Zheng Zhibao also sacrificed their best tactic, hoping to use this tactic to quickly defeat the opponent's clippers, and then use the numerical advantage to surround the opponent's big ships, and then defeat the opponent, if they can capture the opponent's dozen big ships, it would be better. For the dozen or so big ships of the Qingzhou Sailors, he has been coveting them for a long time.

The distance between the two fleets was quickly narrowed, and now the two sides were less than two hundred meters together.

Dulong stared at the oncoming Qingzhou sailor, staring ahead with unblinking eyes and shouting, "Brothers, guys!" Get ready to jump! ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Before Dulong's words fell, a crisp burst of gunfire sounded in front of him, accompanied by bursts of white smoke, and Dulong turned around in surprise to find that many brothers had fallen on the deck on his ship.

"Oh no, that's the sound of a bird!" Dulong heard it at once, he couldn't believe his eyes, the distance between the two sides was still one hundred and forty or fifty steps, how could the other party's bird gun hit so far, this didn't make sense!

"Oh no, hide, hide! Do not leave on deck! "Dulong has a lot of combat experience, and he also knows that the best way to deal with the bird gun is to find a place to hide. But this order was given too late, just now, many sailors on the Cangshan ship had already taken cold weapons and stood at the bow of the ship ready to play with each other. Because in their opinion, the distance of more than a hundred steps was nothing more than a cup of tea for the two sides who were rapidly approaching in opposite directions, but they never expected that the sound of birds sounded on the other party's ship.

Speaking of bird guns, they are not nothing, they are also equipped with four bird guns on each ship, but these self-proclaimed brave pirates prefer to use the sword in their hands to conquer those cowardly merchants, the use rate of bird guns is too little, and now in the blink of an eye to touch this dense row of guns, for a while I don't know what to do, many sailors are stupidly standing on the deck and are killed.

Qingzhou's fast cruiser is a kind of light clipper that is known for its speed, and its combat effectiveness is similar to that of the Cangshan ship, but it is much larger than the Cangshan ship, not only is it equipped with ten Napoleonic six-pounder guns, but also fifty-six sailors armed with Mini rifles on each ship, and their task is to eliminate the exposed sailors on the enemy ship with the rifles in their hands, so when the speed of the two sides is close to two hundred meters, they do not hesitate to pull the trigger in their hands!

"Quick! Quick reload! ”

The soldiers on the ship also took out the millet bullet with gunpowder from the oilcloth bag on their waists, quickly stuffed it into the muzzle, and then pulled out the strip under the barrel and stabbed it a few times, so that the loading work was quickly completed.

"Ready, put!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Another burst of white fog rose, and another group of sailors fell on the Cangshan ship that was approaching quickly, and this time because the speed of the two sides was closer, so more people were hit.

"We can't let the other party fight like this again, otherwise our people will die!" On the Fu boat, the first mate was still struggling to persuade Zheng Zhibao.

"Now are you letting Lao Tzu retreat, the battle has already reached this point, how can you let me collect the troops! Now the only thing we can do is lean in and play with them, you know? Zheng Zhibao, who was thunderous, pointed ahead and shouted loudly, and the sound of thunder spread throughout the entire fortune ship.

While talking, the clippers of the two sides have already made contact, and it was originally a good time for the Zheng family sailors to jump, but unfortunately, at this time, the sailors who had been frightened by the Mini rifles on the Qingzhou Sailor Clipper were hiding on the side of the ship with their heads shrunk at this time, and they didn't dare to muster up the courage to stand up, because just now many companions had told them with bloody lessons, although the end of standing up was to be shot indiscriminately into a hornet's nest.

So a very strange scene appeared, the clippers of both sides staggered at sea, but none of the sailors of the Zheng family, who were supposed to roar and jump onto the enemy ship to engage in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents, dared to stand up. And Dulong, who was supposed to be the first to jump on the enemy ship, was staring wide-eyed at the moment, always showing fierce eyes, but rolling his eyes and looking at the sky blankly. He died, and just as he was about to make contact with the Qingzhou Sailor, he was hit in the chest by a Mini bullet.
