Chapter 125: Naval Battle

There are battles on the island, and the sea outside the island is not calm. The first to come back from Daqin Island was not the fast Longjiang, but the No. 2 Fu ship commanded by Li Dayong.

Li Dayong sailed along the west side of Daqin Island, bypassed the north side, and returned from the east. Far away, Li Dayong sent people to repeatedly raise the flag.

The lookout on the flagship immediately conveyed the information that there were a total of 3 pirate ships, 1 house ship, and 2 No. 2 fortune ships on Xiaoqin Island in the north of Daqin Island, and they were currently coming to Daqin Island. Zhu Yuan is directing the Longjiang to entangle with the pirates.

The north of Daqin Island is not suitable for landing, but it is estimated that these pirates did not want to land, but directly attacked the sea ships on Zhu Houwei's side.

Zhu Houwei immediately made a decision, and immediately asked Wu Yiheng to command the flagship and cooperate with Li Dayong and Zhu Yuan to attack these three pirate ships. As for these boats of the Dengzhou Naval Division, they were asked to come over to be prepared to be transport ships, so now let them sail south for about 5 miles, and the courtyard is on the battlefield.

Soon, Li Dayong went around in a circle and turned the bow of the ship, while Zhu Houwei's flagship drove straight to the northeast, because it was now blowing southeast winds. In the naval warfare of the sail age, it is very important to seize the position of the upwind outlet, which is conducive to the improvement of the speed of the ship, which can be attacked, retreated and escaped, which is very advantageous.

After a while, taking advantage of the time when Li Dayong turned around, Zhu Houwei's flagship slowly caught up. Zhu Houwei had already seen in the telescope that the pirate's three ships were entangled with the Longjiang. In this era, the Oriental sea ships were basically still at the level of deck warfare, and there were basically not too many long-range attack methods except for bows and arrows. The two No. 2 ships had a bed crossbow in the bow and stern, and the bow and arrow were a spear 1.5 meters long and about 20 centimeters in diameter. Zhu Houwei had seen this kind of bed crossbow in the home of the ancient weapon master in Hebei in his previous life, and he also knew the performance of this weapon. The range is about 150 meters, but to shoot a ship like the Longjiang, you have to put it to about 60 meters, not to mention that the speed of the Longjiang is very fast, so it has to be a few meters closer.

A No. 2 Fu ship followed the Longjiang closely, and the Longjiang did not speed up, and the two ships maintained a distance of about 50 meters, one in front and one in the back, sailing to the southeast, and the sailors of the Longjiang were in the stern, performing three strikes, a distance of more than 50 meters, and the hit rate was not low. It also prioritizes the use of the bed crossbow against pirates who wield the bed crossbow, making it impossible for pirates to use this ranged weapon. The Longjiang is too small, so there are not many people standing in the stern, and there can only be 10 people shooting each time, but with high hits, it still suppresses the opponent very thoroughly.

The other No. 2 Fukubune and Ataka were desperately heading southwest, apparently preparing to encircle the Longjiang. After about 10 minutes, the No. 2 Fu ship chasing the Longjiang still did not catch up with the Longjiang, and more than 30 of its own seamen died, and the most important thing was to see Zhu Houwei and Li Dayong, the two reinforcement ships, so they immediately changed the bow of the ship and prepared to escape.

Zhu Yuan saw the pirate ship turning in the southwest direction, and immediately began to follow the rudder. He also saw his reinforcements coming, and was ready to pursue the pirate ship in one go. The Longjiang ship was small in size, and the operation was very fast, and it quickly turned the bow of the ship, turned into a northwest, chased the pirate ship, kept a distance of more than 50 meters, and used the side of the ship to the side of the pirate ship, and this time there were 20 people who fired at one time. There was a burst of gunshots, and after the white fog, there were already more than 10 corpses on the deck of the pirate ship. There were few people on the deck of the pirate ship at this time.

The other two pirate ships also turned their bows and turned northeast, heading towards the Longjiang. At this time, Zhu Houwei and Li Dayong, who came from the southeast, were only about 1 kilometer away from the Longjiang.

The Fu ship, which was shot at by the Longjiang, quickly slowed down due to the fact that there was no one to handle the sails. Zhu Yuan's Longjiang also slowed down and followed closely, shooting at all the pirates on the deck, and after two rounds of shooting, the pirate ship was already empty on deck. There are still a few scattered pirates hiding in the cabin, but there is no time to board the ship right now, and it is only the right thing to take out the other two.

The No. 2 Fukubune and the Ataku ship both pulled to the maximum speed, coming towards the Longjiang, the distance was about 300 meters, the Fukubune was in front, and the Ataku ship was less than 100 meters apart in the back. The Longjiang immediately increased its speed, and within 2 minutes, the Longjiang and the Fuchuan were separated by a distance of 50 meters, and they passed through, and the Fuchuan shot about 20 arrows, and 2 sailors were injured in the thigh, and the wound was very shallow, and the others were not injured. However, with the 3 salvos of the Longjiang, at least 30 people fell on the Fu ship, and the number of pirates was more than half. The Longjiang continued to move forward, because there was still an otaku ship in front, and soon, there were three salvos at the Ataku ship, but the sailors of the Ataku ship were basically hiding in the shipbuilding, except for the more than 10 people who dared to open the window to shoot arrows and the 4 people who were sailing on the deck were knocked down, most of them were fine.

Soon, the fortune ship, which had lost more than half of its personnel, met the fortune ship of Zhu Houwei and Li Dayong. Also 50 meters apart, when Li Dayong passed by the Fu boat, he fired 3 rounds, and Zhu Houwei didn't even shoot when he passed by, because there was no one on the deck.

The pirates in the house are like ostriches, hiding in the shipbuilding and not coming out, and there is no one on the deck, so naturally they don't shoot.

There was no one on the deck to operate, so the speed was naturally slow, Zhu Houwei ordered, Longjiang to board the short side of the ship, and he and Li Dayong were on a lucky ship, ready to board the ship to eliminate the remaining enemies.

The three ships on Zhu Houwei's side quickly turned around and caught up with the three pirate ships. When you get closer, throw your claws to secure the pirate ship, then carefully board the ship. This kind of boarding training sailors have been practiced many times, on the gunwale, the rattan player short gun in front, holding the Dingyuan gun, the sharpshooter is on the side of his ship, the muzzle of the gun is facing the exit of the opponent's cabin, once the enemy comes out to attack, immediately knock down. Zhu Houwei was on the first Fu ship to be attacked, and Zhu Houwei's flagship was the Dafu ship, which had a relatively high side and was very convenient to board the enemy ship.

Sure enough, just as the rattan player was about to jump off the gangway and board the enemy ship, two pirates bent their bows and arrows at the exit of the cabin, ready to attack. Unfortunately, before the bow could be fired, it was hit by the musketeers who were waiting on the Daifuku ship. Because the distance was less than 20 meters, there were 5 or 6 more bullet holes on the two of them at once, and then they twisted a few later hip-hop movements and lay down with unwillingness. Suddenly, behind the two who fell, two more archers were ready to shoot arrows, but unfortunately not all the musketeers had just shot, and there were still many people waiting, so there was another burst of gunfire, and the two men also twisted a few times and received the lunch.

At this time, there were already more than 30 people on board the enemy ship, and soon, the rattan player carefully walked in with the rattan card, and with the protection of the rattan player, the short player behind also followed. Zhu Houwei stood at the bow of the flagship, observing the situation of the other two ships.

As on this side, there are pirates who are ready to "attack them halfway", the difference is that there are more people and fewer people. There are many enemies left in the Ataka ship, but unfortunately in front of the sharp muskets, the enemies with bows and arrows are not much better than plasticine, and they can pinch as much as they want.

Once inside, the inside was no longer visible, but the intermittent sound of gunfire announced that the battle was not over.

Once inside, the inside was no longer visible, but the intermittent sound of gunfire announced that the battle was not over. In fact, the sail of the Ataka boat is not its only power, and at the bottom of the boat, about 1 meter above the surface of the sea, there are 10 oars on both sides, and the sailor is paddling at the bottom.

The entire hull was basically surrounded by wooden walls to protect the archers inside, so the pirates who had just been on the deck and the upper floor were killed, but for the whole ship, the damage was not large. The reason why they didn't flee was because the speed of the Ataka ship was too slow to outrun the lucky ship, and even the speed of the oars could not increase much, not to mention that the manpower could not be kept abundant all the time, so the pirates of the ship simply stopped there and prepared to board the ship.

Soon, Zhu Yuan took more than 20 people on the Ataku ship, and when the 20 or so people continued to board the ship, the cabin of the Ataku ship suddenly opened, showing that about 7 or 8 bows and arrows were shot out, and more than 20 real people with katanas, hideous faces, and shouting Japanese rushed out. The bow and arrow were blocked by the eight rattan players in front of them, and this time the bow and arrow were not aimed well at all, and it was shot purely to fire first. The 30 or so musketeers on the Longjiang fired a volley, the gunfire and the white fog, the real widow fell more than 10, and the 20 or so people who boarded the Anzhai ship also shot in a burst, and 10 or so fell, only one lucky person, the bun was scattered, I have to say that the chassis is low, and sometimes it can indeed escape.

Due to the small bow deck of the Anzhai ship, this real widow had already rushed to Zhu Yuan's side at this time, and he could see that Zhu Yuan was an officer. With knives in both hands, he slashed down and shouted "Sucking." Zhu Yuan rushed forward with the rattan card on his shoulder, and the knife slashed the rattan card, but he didn't cut through, but the whole person was hit by Zhu Yuan and fell backwards to the ground. At this time, the sailor who jumped from the gangway ran over, and the two of them shot "bang", and the real widow twitched twice on the ground and did not move.

This is also an alternative three-stage shooting, which works well, and the enemy is completely annihilated. After everyone reloaded the ammunition, Zhu Yuan first took the rattan card and entered the cabin. The katana of the real man just now was of good quality, and Zhu Yuan's original rattan card was already a little damaged, and it was difficult to defend against the next sword, so he changed it with the rattan player next to him.

After entering the ship, everyone was careful not to have an enemy suddenly come out. If it's too close, you can still get damaged. Soon after, everyone came to the water room, Zhu Yuan was ready to shoot as soon as he saw someone, but he didn't expect that the 12 Japanese people here were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing, shouting something in their mouths, looking at Zhu Yuan seemed to be unmoved, so the 11 real Japanese turned their heads and looked anxiously at one of the Japanese people, this Japanese intermittently said to Zhu Yuan, "Surrender, I spare my life." Zhu Yuan nodded, and then said, "Don't move here, otherwise you will all be killed." The Japanese who had just answered immediately replied happily, "Hi, yes, yes." ”

said a few words to the Japanese people next to him, and the other Japanese people immediately kowtowed to Zhu Yuan, saying something in their mouths. Zhu Yuan didn't understand and didn't care about him, and asked the widow, "How many people are there in this boat besides you?" The man looked panicked, "I, below, don't know." After saying that, he slammed his head on the floor, without raising his head, and his body was still shaking, and the other widows did the same. Zhu Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "You guys stay here." After saying that, two people were left here to watch, and the others continued to search.

After 10 minutes, there was no one else after searching all over the place. The ship is not big, only about 200 tons, and it can't hide there.

Then Zhu Yuan returned to the deck, and the other two ships had already cleared the remaining enemies. Zhu Houwei ordered the captives to be driven to a captive No. 2 Fu ship, and then sailed to Xiaoqin Island without arranging some crew members.

(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, I hope you will be able to see the officials.) )
