"Order, let the brothers hurry up and catch up, take advantage of their slow speed now, directly crash into them and nail them, so that those huge ships can't move, and we will win! Fast! As it got closer, the tiger shark was also excited. In his opinion, as long as a few giant ships were crucified and taken down, the battle would be over, and they would have won a big victory.

The pirates were also red-eyed at this time, and continued to rush forward regardless of a single qiē. Victory is not far from them, and if they win this battle, their life will be better in the future, and if they don't fight now, the families on the island will have to be finished.

Wang Zhenbang and others also discovered this situation, and the pirates still had the courage to continue to rush forward after suffering such a big loss. Now this posture is to directly collide with their battleships and nail them, so that eight battleships will be incapacitated!

"Order, hit the artillery and destroy the ships that rushed up! Musketeers prepare to kill all pirates who come up! Don't let them come up! ”

"Tom tom!" Artillery after cannon kept bombarding it. Several pirate ships were unfortunately shot, shattered and slowly sank into the sea. A few more were hit, and the ships spun in the water, followed by the boats that could no longer bear it and capsized.

"Up! Everyone, hurry up! The official dog is about to finish, and we will win! A pirate shouted excitedly. It was also true that the corsair was getting closer and closer to the Red Army fleet.

"Bang bang bang!" Gunfire rang out incessantly, and the soldiers kept shooting at the pirate ship. These pirate clippers, with as many as twenty or thirty people on each ship, and as few as a dozen people, were all hit by oncoming bullets. In this short distance of 100 meters, it is impossible to rush up.

Not only the musketeers were wielding, but the small-caliber guns on the upper deck were also spitting out scattered bullets. The splinter shots are no less lethal than the Hongyi cannon, especially when firing at short ranges.

A series of iron eggs, brushing across the sky above the sea, like a flock of frightened black seabirds, mighty, covering the sky and the sun, and then ...... Bunches fell on the surface of the sea.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Countless splashes of water are splashed up to form a beautiful curtain of water. The water curtain is beautiful, so that everyone who sees it feels pleasing to the eye. The small-caliber guns on these third-class ships are also the latest products of the artillery workshop, and the range of the scattered projectiles has been increased considerably.

The original shotguns were not ready-made, they were all temporarily assembled. Take out a bag at random, the simplest is a cotton bag, then pack a large pile of iron eggs, and then tie the bag tightly, and it will be packaged into a loose bomb. The pirates' side lacked iron, so instead of iron eggs, they used gravel instead. After loading the loose bomb before firing, put it into the barrel of the gun, and then sprinkle ** around it, which is considered ready.

However, when the Mawei Artillery Workshop produced artillery, the gunpowder packs were also ordered. The artillery fires different shells, and the amount of gunpowder that should be used has been practiced many times to get the best formula. Therefore, the firing speed of the scattered bombs on the navy's side has also increased greatly, and the range has also increased a lot.

From the moment the first shot was fired, the other ships began to fire as well. As the pirate ship got closer, the Hongyi cannon on the lower deck also began to fire shotshots. Instead of a flock of frightened black seabirds, the scattered bombs that obscured the sky turned into a large black cloth covering the sky.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Hundreds of large and small guns poured a large number of scattered shells, and soon achieved satisfactory results. Seriously, compared to land warfare, naval warfare really consumes artillery shells, and boxes of packed loose bullets are constantly being shot out like this. Small iron bullets constantly fell on the pirate ship, causing great damage to the pirates.

The pirates' main warships never had a chance to get closer, and they followed at this moment. The power of this small group of main warships is still considerable, and they are the most important family of sea sharks. Other small pirate ships can get some back by plundering along the coast, but it is extremely difficult to get the lucky ship and the Cangshan ship. They have only been seven or eight for decades, and there are a dozen or so other merchant ships converted into armed merchant ships, which have also been stolen from passing merchants.

These main warships hit all the pirates' large-caliber guns, and at this moment they also fired at the side of the Red Army fleet. However, the pirate Yan Zòng lacked ammunition training, and the hit rate was really low, with only a few sporadic solid iron bullets hitting the naval warship, but causing no damage. Their shotguns couldn't reach the Navy's warships.

On the pirate side, the overwhelming scatter of bullets fell, so that there was no one on the deck outside, and the pirates who were not hit hid in the cabin and did not dare to take their heads. The sailors hid, it didn't matter, however, the sailmen could not leave the mast. These ships, large and small, are powered by sails. In the naval battle, no one sails, you can imagine what the result was. However, a large number of scattered bombs rained down, so that the sailors on the pirate ship were so frightened that no one dared to stay on it. The shots of the shots were thrown in rows, and no one knew how many there were, let alone where they would fall from. The shotguns fell like a hailstorm, and the people on the mast had nowhere to escape.

In such a situation, it is impossible to say that the people on the mast will also run down and flee for their lives. As a result, the sails were uncontrolled and could not be adjusted to the wind direction in time. It was impossible for the pirate ship to get close to the Red Army fleet, and even though the pirate leader kept urging the sailors to go up, they hid in the cabin and did not dare to go out again under the threat of the huge power of the shotguns. It's good that they're not afraid of death, but they don't want to die for nothing!

In the midst of this constant movement, many pirate ships have become unmanned. Constantly there are pirate ships that deviate from their original course and can no longer get close to the naval fleet. Some of the pirate ships crashed into each other due to their lack of pilotage, and then dropped anchor at sea.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour. The Red Army fleet had rounded up to the position where the guns were fired first, and the Corsair was again located to their north. After two quarters of an hour of fighting, not a single pirate ship could get close to the Red Army fleet, and the pirate ships that were about to approach, the people on deck, even if they did not breathe under the fire of muskets, were sent to Hades with a stream of scattered bullets.

This situation made the pirates very discouraged, and they no longer had the confidence to continue to rush forward bravely. Listening to the crackling of iron and hail on the deck, all the pirates were gloomy. They couldn't believe that none of their hundreds of ships could be nailed to them after so long, but they were beaten so badly. At this point, the pirates all had the same year in their hearts.

"Run!"

Escape back to the island! There were also strong walls on the island, and these officers and soldiers had no siege equipment to defeat their strong walls. Thirty-six plans, go for the top! If you continue to fight like this, you will only be wiped out! Not only are the ships of the officers and soldiers large, but the artillery is so powerful that they can't get close at all, so they have to continue to entangle with each other, isn't this looking for death?

"Big brother, let's withdraw quickly!"

"Yes, big boss, we are not opponents at all, the artillery of the official dog is too powerful. Let's get out! ”

"Big boss, we still have hundreds of boats, and a few big ships are not damaged at all, and if we escape, we can already mix up the wind and water when we go to other places. While the official dog is still in the south, let's retreat to the north and run to Dongtou Island in the north, didn't you say that you can be our second cottage there? ”

The tiger shark was also frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Mawei Navy, even if he led a few main warships to rush up now, he only had to deliver food to them, or retreat, and the people on the island couldn't care about it now. So he frowned and shouted, "Withdraw!" Keep going north, don't stop! ”

"Withdraw, withdraw!" The four masters also shouted.

"Woo~~~!"

"Woo~~~!"

"Woo~~~!"

A long trumpet sounded, and the pirate ships that were closer to the tiger shark ship turned around to look at the flag order here, and then quickly retreated north. Then one pirate ship after another sounded the sound of the trumpet, and the pirate ships, large and small, turned around and fled north.

They had already been broken by the ferocious scattered bullets of the officers and soldiers, and they did not dare to continue to entangle. Hearing the retreating sea horn, it was simply the most beautiful sound in the world. Soon, all the pirate ships reversed course and fled north, quickly closing the distance between them and the Red Army fleet. As the pirate ships fled north, they continued to land on their decks.

"Haha, the pirates have escaped!" Geng Jingzhong saw the scene of the pirates fleeing in a hurry from the binoculars, and shouted happily. "I didn't expect this shotgun to be more powerful than a solid iron bullet! If I had known that I had put them close to fight in the first place, wouldn't the pirates have died more! ”

Wang Zhenbang was also very happy, but he had not forgotten his duties as a commander. "Order all ships to catch up quickly, and don't let them escape like this! Fast! ”

Before the order was given, the battleships were already in action, and the sail operators quickly adjusted the sails, so that the battleships chased after the pirates! At this moment, the pirates and the Mawei navy are sailing downwind, and the gap between the warships of the two sides is immediately apparent. Most of the pirate ships were dhows, and many of them suffered heavy damage, so even with a tailwind, the speed was not raised. The No. 2 Fu ship on the side of the tiger shark has been sailing at sea for a long time, and there are probably a lot of sea creatures at the bottom of the ship, and the speed is not as fast as the eight third-class warships that have just been launched for a few months. The eight battleships puffed up their sails and sailed quickly with the wind, slowly closing the distance. It's just that it will take a while to completely catch up with the tiger shark's ship, after all, the pirate ship was far away from them in the first place.

However, when the pirates sailed less than two kilometers to the north, they collided head-on with the four battleships of the Xi Zi that had surrounded them around the road, and eleven frigates following them.
