"Shoot back, shoot back!" The various pirate ships were in chaos, startled by the sudden cannon. But after all, it was a big pirate gang that roamed the seas, and the pirate leaders on the main warships were not too flustered. Shimazu Hirayama settled down and immediately issued a flag order, so that all the pirate ships would fight back immediately.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Pirates are constantly being hit by cannonballs, and they let out bursts of screams, which are particularly intrusive to hear. Most of the pirates who screamed were not dead, but were only hit in the leg or arm by a cannonball. And the pirate who was shot directly in the head or chest didn't have time to scream before he died.

At the same time, accompanied by the screams of the pirates, there are also pieces of "Poof! "Poof!" About half of it should be the sound of the pirate ship's cannonballs that didn't hit the pirate ship, and the other half should be the sound of the pirates falling overboard. More than half of the newly trained LTTE gunners were not skilled, and many shells were empty!

For a time, the entire Mawei section of the Minjiang River became a purgatory on earth, with broken arms and legs and a large number of internal organs scattered on the deck of the ship and on the river, and a canopy of sawdust from the ship shattered by cannonballs flew in the air and fell into the river. Miscellaneous objects floating on the surface of the river were pushed to the boats by the waves stirred up by the cannonballs, and the "Bang! "Bang!"

the ringing of the sound; Cannons, shouts, howls, falling water, crashes, all kinds of sounds are intertwined, like a special symphony!

The first round of Hongyi cannons was fired, and it took several minutes to fire the second round, and even the most well-trained Western soldiers could only fire one shot in just over three minutes. On the LTTE soldiers' side, it took nearly ten minutes to get a shot. However, the other calibers of the Furlong machine are equipped with five sub-guns because they are divided into sub-mothers, which makes the launch speed faster. A quarter of an hour later, five or six smaller armed merchant ships had been sunk by the pirate regiment.

"Good!"

"Well played!"

For the Mawei Navy, sinking one of the enemy's ships was a huge breakthrough. It greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers! It shows that their dozens of days of training have finally borne fruit. In this first operation, several enemy ships were sunk, which greatly increased their confidence and was extremely beneficial to the development of the Mawei Navy in the future. If a few more warships can be captured today, it will make the confidence of the Mawei Navy rise to a new level!

It will be an unprecedented incentive for those naval cadets who are fighting for the first time. Controlling the cannon with his own hands and sinking the enemy ship directly, a man will be excited when he thinks about it! Since part of the Tiger Army was transferred to train into the navy, in fact, many soldiers are reluctant in their hearts, and most of them have a natural fear of the sea. And the training of these 20 days has also been enough. I believe that after this battle, these horsetail navies transformed from the Tiger Army will be proud of this!

Geng Jingzhong and Huang Dazhong's guards couldn't help waving their fists excitedly when they saw such a result, and they couldn't take their eyes off the hillside.

Through the binoculars, you can see that many pirate warships have broken masts, and the broken masts have fallen down and plunged diagonally into the river. Some of the pirates who fell into the river did not die, but they firmly clung to the mast inserted into the river, or held the wood of the ship that fell into the river to prevent themselves from sinking. However, the shells kept coming, and the huge waves and the rushing water made them disappear from the surface of the river quickly.

The counterattack on the pirate ship's side was also very fierce, and the solid cannonballs accurately hit the dense forests around the river bank and behind, but the fixed small batteries were all built higher, and the guns on the pirate ship were not yet within reach, even if they could reach it, this battery was a battery after all, far from being comparable to the pirate ship. These small forts were built into permanent fortified positions and were very strong. More than 30 small batteries were all Hongyi cannons installed, and under the bombardment of 80 Hongyi cannons, even a first-class battleship could not withstand it. And the guns on the batteries will never suffer any damage.

On the side of the Tigers, in addition to the fortifications in the fortifications, the soldiers pushed the short-range Fran cannons close to the shore, and the cannon fire from the pirate ships also caused a lot of damage to the soldiers. Thanks to the sun in the west, the pirates couldn't target their positions, otherwise the casualties would be even greater.

After more than 20 minutes, Shimazu Hirayama finally reflected, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die.

"Retreat! Fall back! "His own ship was also hit by several shells, but fortunately his battleship was as large as a third-class battleship, so it was fine. This also made him realize that he seemed to have been deceived by the Zheng family, retreated, and must retreat immediately.

The standard-bearers passed the order to retreat according to Shimazu Hirayama's orders, and the pirates forgot their previous slogan of robbing ships and rewarding women with money, and wished that they could put on their wings and fly away from the battlefield. When the pirates retreated, they found that the last few armed merchant ships had broken their masts and rudders, and they had stopped there, blocking the waterway. So that the whole fleet can not move forward, not backward. It has become a live target.

"Good chance, they are ready to retreat, order the soldiers to prepare to attack and grab the ship!" Commander Captain Steve immediately shouted to the standard-bearer.

If you want to say that Geng Jingzhong is here, the most angry person is not Geng Jingzhong himself, but the captains of these warships who followed him to the east. They came to the East to make a fortune, and His Royal Highness the prince generously appointed them captains and paid them an unimaginable salary! Now there are people who want to take away this qiē, which is intolerable in any way.

The pirate group has been beaten and has no morale, and is preparing to retreat, this is a great opportunity, you rob me, I will rob you, this is fair!

The new Mawei Navy, which was waiting on Caolu Island in the distance, could not hold back for a long time when it saw such a thrilling scene, and it was eager to go up immediately to destroy the enemy and establish meritorious deeds. At the end of the day, hundreds of fishing boats shot out like arrows.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The Hongyi cannon of the fort and the Fran cannon below still did not stop, and a new round of salvo fire began. The dense cannonballs, like meteorites falling from the sky, once again crossed the sky and smashed down on the pirate ship; Looking up at the sky, you can see it clearly. The artillery fire on the pirate ships was completely suppressed so that their fishing boats could approach along the lì.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Destroy these pirates!"

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Mawei Navy climbed onto the deck of the pirate ship, brandished the weapons in his hands, and pounced on the pirates. There were also some naval soldiers who lined up on the fishing boats and did not use boarding, but raised their muskets and kept firing to help the other brothers who boarded the boat to provide cover!

To say that the cannons on the pirate ship can't beat the batteries on the shore, but the rushing horsetail navy wants to fight them hand-to-hand, but the pirates are not cowardly at all. The most used hand-to-hand combat is hand-to-hand combat, which has been used since the birth of pirates.

When engaged in broadside combat on the sea, pirates swung ropes from high masts directly to enemy ships, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. There are many such scenes in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean", where the two sides are either two ships close to each other, as if two generals are riding war horses and fighting side by side until one of them falls off his horse and dies.

The sailors who boarded the pirate ship found that the current corsair was really devastated, and the deck was full of holes that had been smashed by large and small shells. These holes range from large to small, as large as a wellhead, and as small as a basin. Around each hole, there was a mess of wreckage, and sawdust was flying. Underneath the hole, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. All the pirates are basically concentrated on the deck, and there are not many left, about half of the original. Corpses lay on the messy deck. The pirates who survived were almost covered in blood. Some have their own blood in them, while others have the blood of their companions.

The mast, which had already been smashed, was hit again by shells one after another, causing it to completely break open and fall into the river. A few hapless pirates were also carried into the river along with the fallen mast and disappeared with them! In the cabin of the pirate ship, many of them were smashed by the huge solid bullets of the Hongyi cannon, and many of the gunners inside were killed by them. The firepower of the entire pirate regiment is getting weaker and weaker! The pirates on deck are also slowly losing confidence.

No matter what the pirate ship looks like when it is bombarded by its own cannons, these pirates in front of them are their enemies, kill them first! One by one, the naval soldiers fought with the pirates without fear of death.

It was getting dark, and Shimazu Hirayama's heart was also gloomy. He was completely desperate, at this moment he hated the Zheng family to death, hated Zheng Jing to death! This is obviously to let him come to death, no wonder, Liu Guoxuan's boat stopped when it reached the open sea, and he refused to come in! It turns out that this qiē is all a conspiracy, and I want to use him as cannon fodder!

"It's over! It's completely finished! More than ten years of hard work have all been buried at once! How can I go back and compete with my eldest brother for the position of the head of the family! Shimazu Pingshan's head was in chaos, looking at this qiē in front of him, he really wanted to cry without tears, and shouted: "Zheng Jing, Lao Tzu will not let you go if he is a ghost!" After speaking, he pulled out his waist knife and was about to commit suicide.

The henchman next to him immediately grabbed his hand: "Lord, don't, how can you take revenge if you die!" Isn't it cheap Zheng Jing! ”

"Yes, yes, we want revenge! It must not be cheap, Zheng Jing, that bastard! Shimazu Hirayama said through gritted teeth. Command, we surrender! ”

"Drop your weapons, we surrender!"

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

"Dang!"

With the sound of weapons smashing down on the deck, the pirates also raised their hands and stepped aside, as is the rule of ship engagement.

"It's down, Shizi, they're down, hahaha" Huang Dazhong saw this scene and shouted excitedly again.

Geng Jingzhong also clutched the telescope in his hand tightly, and his eyes were reluctant to leave for a moment. The same shouted loudly: "Well done! Then he burst out laughing.

"No, there are two small boats in the back to escape!" Geng Jingzhong suddenly spotted two small boats through the telescope that were quickly bypassing the two armed merchant ships at the rear, preparing to flee.

Wang Zhenbang, who was capturing prisoners of war, and Steve, the commander-in-chief in the distance, also discovered the situation and immediately ordered to fire at the two small boats. Two or three hundred artillery pieces that could still be fired were aimed at the two small boats, and a salvo was fired. As a result, it can be imagined that even the people and boats were directly bombed to pieces, and only a few planks can be seen on the river surface to prove that there were indeed two small boats.

Geng Jingzhong didn't know that the people on these two small boats were not pirates, but the Zheng family's sailors who followed the pirate group to investigate the situation. It's good now, you can't escape, but you won't be dead!
