Chapter 16: It's Over! The main ship was pinned and could not move

Zhu Kezhen knew that Liu Xiang would not let go of this opportunity, and he saw that Liu Xiang's pirate ship was approaching! Now that the enemy ship is near, the catapult will work! Moreover, the red-coated cannons were aimed at the merchant ships converted into pirate ships, temporarily sparing the British ships.

"Huhu" three flints fell mercilessly on the pirate ship. "Boom", and the pirate will be excited by the momentum and fly out. Some of the pirates were still holding long ladders, and as soon as they approached the Ming ship, they immediately began to board the ship and attack, but as soon as the flint fell among them, they were lucky enough to fall on the ship, and unlucky they had to fall into the water.

Even the ladder they were holding fell into the water. Those who fall into the water and are seriously injured cannot swim and sink into the water. Those who can swim float on the surface of the water and shout, "Help me!" Save me! ”

The fall of three flints caused the pirate ship to catch fire, and that's not all, the cannon came again. The redcoat cannon hit one shot after another, and the final result of this pirate ship could only be to sink.

The pirates who "jumped" on the ship jumped into the water one after another, and it was a life for them to be able to save their lives.

Liu Xiang's ship was not in a hurry to attack to save his companions, and he was not satisfied that the British ships were shelling from afar, and did not launch an actual attack on the Ming army.

Zhang Biwu was overjoyed and shouted: "Have you seen it?" The enemy ship sank! None of the traitorous scum will end well! ”

But as he was talking, the pirate ship was approaching, and there were some small ships next to these big pirate ships, but these had thorn piles, and if the ship was stared at the thorn stakes and anchored, the big ships would not be able to move, and then they could only be beaten passively. Especially the British ships, which were extremely mobile and equipped with a lot of artillery, they could destroy the ships as they wanted.

The small ship with the barbed pile rushed to the main ship of the Ming army at a gallop.

Zhang Biwu was not so stupid, let the warship fix the main ship, of course he wanted to sink the warship. Zhang Biwu sank two ships, but there were really a lot of them!

The man cried out again, "Listen, brethren! If whoever drove the ship's stake was nailed to the enemy ship and anchored, then each brother on the ship would be rewarded with ten taels of silver! ”

"Wow!" The pirates on the ship are crazy! There will be brave men under the great reward. Even if someone was killed by an arrow or a bullet, the others still shouted: "Silver!" Silver! As if they were crazy, they rushed towards the main ship of the Ming army.

With a "boom", two ships were blown up and sunk, but three more were fish that slipped through the net! They were heading towards the main ship.

Zhu Kezhen shouted: "Quick! Shift! Get out of the boat! Can't let them nail our main ship! The ship quickly moved away and let one pass, but the next two were honestly and unceremoniously "bang", and the spur was nailed into the main ship of the Ming Dynasty.

The main ship shook violently after being hit, and Zhu Kezhen almost fell, but fortunately Zhang Pan supported him, and he shouted: "How is it? Our main ship was nailed? Zhang Pan nodded helplessly.

That's right! The two ships crashed into the main ship, and the pirates shouted, "Get down to anchor!" "They lowered their anchors and separated the stakes from the ship, so that they wanted to escape.

"Want to escape?" When Zhang Biwu saw it, he aimed at it correctly, and with a bombardment, one ship was sunk, and the same artillery fire also sank the other ship that was about to escape. Let's go to the Sea Dragon King and dream of making a fortune!

At this time, the main ship can't move! Danger is coming! If the enemy had concentrated its fire, the main ship would have been sunk.

But in the face of such a predicament, Zhu Kezhen expected it, he said: "No! If the British ship and Liu Xiang had joined forces, they would not have sunk my main ship!" If it were the British, I don't think they would have thought of a tactic to trap our main ship with a warp! Our main ship will be besieged by pirates coming aboard! The guns of the British ships will not be aimed at sinking our main ship! ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, and asked, "General, why do you think so?" Our main ship is pinned, the enemy ships are opened fire in unison, and the main ship will sink! Like, the other two ships can't fight anymore! Victory is in your hands! ”

Zhu Kezhen smiled: "Zhang Pan, you don't know my old opponent!" Liu Xiang has been defeated by me repeatedly, and what he wants most is to catch me, and then step on my head, and humiliate me to show off his obscenity! He is a person who wants to save face, and he was forced to lose face by me and Zheng Zhilong. Of course, he wants to save face, and now is his chance! You must know that the enemy of the Dao has a great advantage, and in such a situation, of course he wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish! ”

"For example, if you capture me, the main ship will also be captured, and if so, the other two ships will be easily captured. At that time, if he sailed to the waterfront near the city of Guangzhou with the three captured boats to show off, he could raise his name as Liu Xiang, and even stronger than Zheng Zhilong. And the British will be able to open the door to trade with this! They will be able to get more benefits in China than the Franc machine! ”

Zhu Kezhen looked at the British ship, and when he saw that the British ship did not fire a cannon, he smiled and said, "I heard that the merchant is to seek the greatest profit!" These British robbers also have the nature of merchants, so they will not sink our main ship, but want to seize our three ships, so as to deter Governor Zhang! Deter me Daming! But what I want to show them is that this time they were wrong! We are not other countries that let fish and meat go! ”

Zhang Pan also clenched his fists, he also thought so, he would not let the fish and meat! Fight for the honor of the Ming Dynasty!

As Zhu expected, Weddell did not have his six ships open fire to sink the main ship.

Terry thought it was strange and asked, "Commander-in-chief, now that the enemy ships are already unable to move, why don't you concentrate all our artillery fire and sink them?" As long as we sink it, whether the other two ships escape or not, we win! ”

Weddell pointed and said, "Look! The two ships of the Ming army were some distance from their main ship, and if they saw the main ship sunk, their first reaction was to flee. We can win, but it will not win much, but it will anger the Chinese government, and then they will mobilize a large number of troops to fight us! We stayed in Macao for a while, and we also saw that the Ming army was indeed very numerous! You can't fight hard! ”

Weddell changed his tone and said, "So we can only outwit!" How to outwit it? Deterrence! That's the best! Capturing the chief general of this Ming army, and also capturing their three ships, that would be the biggest deterrent to the Guangdong authorities! As long as we don't sink the main ship of the Ming army, the other two ships can't escape and must be rescued. We have a chance to capture three ships together! So in order to be able to complete the task assigned by the king, you must fight! And one more important point......"
