Although the next few ships were not directly hit, they also staggered to the huge waves, and one of the smaller and narrower ones was directly overturned -- Huang Xiaodong, who operated the steering wheel, probably made some tricks, and the waves set off by the Qionghai are now much larger than when they were running normally, and the huge steel freighter swayed slightly from side to side, and the people on board felt that the amplitude was not large, but every time it shook it would cause monstrous waves on both sides. \\23hh.cc\\。

"Wow, where did you learn this?"

Lao Xie used to take boats a lot, and he had heard of this kind of damage trick, but he had never really seen it. In the modern environment, we must abide by the law, and few people do such immoral things.

A rather complicated smile appeared on Huang Xiaodong's face:

"I have an uncle who drives a fishing boat in the South China Sea, and he has the opportunity to do a little smuggling and so on. Sometimes when they encounter an anti-smuggling boat, they use this trick to set off waves and drive the other party away...... Later, banners were hung on those anti-smuggling boats: It is illegal to overturn warships...... Ha ha. ”

The smile was mixed with naughtiness, nostalgia, and a hint of sadness, and in the end, Huang Xiaodong shook his head helplessly:

Later, Uncle was arrested and sentenced to five years...... Because he accidentally overturned one, fortunately he stopped and saved it, no one died, otherwise it would have been more than five years. ”

"Stinky boys don't learn well."

Doctor Shi, who was on board, muttered at first, but then patted him on the shoulder:

"Just be safe here, no one can judge you."

Its practicality does not guarantee safety, and Huang Xiaodong's cousin is already very active. So much so that Ma Qianshan had to run back from the middle deck gun emplacement specifically to complain:

"I said, Xiao Huang, open steadily, you are shaking around like this, our artillery is not easy to aim."

"Brother Ma, you guys are using cannons. Deal with these small wooden boats. The effect is better with direct collision. ”

Huang Xiaodong already had experience in dealing with the Ming Water Army in Baishazhai last time, and at this time he became more and more skilled, and it only took a moment to squeeze and knock out three or four big boats in one go, and the small fish and shrimp next to him were turned over countless by the waves.

Follow this stance. It seems that there is no need for the ship's armed personnel at all. Xiao Huang alone can wipe out this pirate fleet.

Of course, the other party will not be beaten and not fight back. YD Chinese ping-pong fire as soon as the Qionghai approached their small cannon, the sound was very loud and the frequency was very high. It's like setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

However, the effect is similar to that of firecrackers, and many of the projectiles shot fall into the sea. Hitting the ground on the iron plate is also a sound, except for wiping off some patent leather, even the pits can rarely be left.

In 1524, a Spaniard in Macao gave a contemptuous description of the Ming Dynasty's naval tactics:

"Sailboats were equipped with only small iron guns, but there were no copper guns, and the gunpowder was terrible...... The Chinese arquebuses were of inferior quality, and the projectiles could not penetrate even ordinary breast armor, especially since they did not know how to aim. Their weapons consisted mainly of bamboo spears and spears, some with iron spearheads, while others were made of short, blunt scimitars, and their breastplates were made of iron tin. Sometimes hundreds of ships are seen besieging a pirate ship, which throws lime dust downwind to blind the enemy. Because they are numerous and can have some effect. That's their main tactic. ”

This description is certainly biased, after all, the Ming Empire later won the Battle of Luliang against Japan, but it is quite apt to use it on these pirates - when the Qionghai rushed into the opposing fleet, as many as dozens of small ships of various types immediately surrounded them like locusts. Then there are all sorts of attacks, but with the exception of firearms, which are a bit of a threat, throwing fireballs, rockets, and throwing lime dust seems to be child's stuff here.

Later, the pirates launched several arson boats, which was a very mature tactic used by the Chinese navy at that time: those small boats were fixed with iron nails and hooks at the bow, firewood was piled up on the hull and poured with oil, and after the hull was lit, the back half could be separated with the crew, which should be said to be very ingenious.

This kind of fireship was a great threat to wooden-hulled warships, and in several battles with the Western fleet in the late Ming Dynasty, fireship tactics played a great role. It's a pity that if you encounter an iron-hulled ship now, it will be useless - even if the Qionghai is stationary, it is not afraid that it will burn, not to mention that the steamer is still moving, and the waves of the water make it impossible for the fireship to get close at all.

The last resort available to the pirates is hand-to-hand combat, and Liu Xiang's pirate gang seems to be quite good at this. Just like last time, countless rope hooks flew from all directions, grabbing at all parts of the ship, and one by one the fierce figures bit their knives and climbed up......

The two infantry platoons carried on the Qionghai can be regarded as having found a place to use at this time, Wang Haiyang did not let the soldiers cut the rope, but directly used the pirates hanging on the rope as a live ammunition target. Sixty or seventy men were scattered throughout the hull, the fire was not too dense, but basically every shot yielded results, and in the intermittent sound of gunfire, only the figures could be seen crackling and falling, like jackfruit ripe on the branches of a tree this season.

Very few pirates can climb the side of the Qionghai ship, and even if one or two flipped up, they would immediately be fired by more than three rifles at the same time. After discovering that there was no longer a "moving target" on the rope, some of the infantrymen simply climbed directly to the side of the ship and fired at the bottom.

After realizing that they could not defeat the big iron ship no matter what, the pirates did not insist much, and immediately abandoned their prey and fled in all directions. Huang Xiaodong originally planned to chase after him, but with the speed advantage of the Qionghai, as long as he really wanted to chase, none of these pirates wanted to slip away. However, Pang Yu reminded him in time to pay attention to the fuel gauge and not to waste too much diesel for a momentary pleasure. Although you can make your own, fuel is still very valuable.

Huang Xiaodong accepted his reminder, and after overturning the last relatively large pirate ship, the Qionghai resumed its normal speed and slowly turned around and headed towards its original course. However, the pirates' bad luck did not end there, and the ship maintained an even speed and no longer turned widely, and the consequence was that the gun crew finally found an opportunity.

"Damn, Huang finally didn't go crazy...... Why don't you leave us something for a dozen? ”

Lin Shenhe scolded and scolded while taking matters into his own hands, busy filling the bronze cannon with a cartridge and cannonballs, while Ma Qianshan was silent and looked for a suitable target. There were a lot of small boats scattered around, but there were not many targets worth dealing with pound bronze cannons, and after searching for a long time, I finally found a relatively large one, which looked like about fifty or sixty tons.

"That's it, aim and fight, there are not many chances, you must sink!"

Ma Qianshan said calmly, now these ships are frantically fleeing in the direction away from Qionghai, and Huang Xiaodong does not plan to chase, their shooting opportunities will not be too much, if they can't hit a few shots, it will be a shame.

"I'll come first, I'll come first......"

Lin Shenhe was the first to fire the first shot, and the cannonball swept across the top of the target's sail, causing a splash in the sea ahead. Although it failed to hit, it frightened the sailors of several nearby ships to plop and jump into the sea.

"Don't use solid bullets, you can't pick it up when you hit it in the sea, it's a waste of iron."

Ma Qianshan is quite particular about sustainable development, the second gun he replaced with a high-explosive bomb, but this time it still missed, the shell fell a little closer, the fuse time is very good, it actually exploded underwater, forming a circular big wave, overturning many boats and boats next to it.

“…… When I turned around, I told others: We deliberately hit the boat. ”

Lao Ma smiled at the assistant next to him with some sneering, but the surrounding artillery crew members had no intention of joking, they were all a little crazy - Huang Xiaodong had killed so many non-combatants, they were a regular military establishment, if they didn't even get rid of a big ship, then they really didn't have a face to see people in the future.

"I'm here this time, the last chance, we must seize ......"

The Qionghai is gradually moving away from the battlefield, and the ships that have escaped are even further away, and there is no time to recharge and aim if they miss again. Ma Qianshan no longer laughed, but carefully calibrated the target distance, calculated the wind speed and direction, and personally loaded the bronze cannon.

"This time it must be."

Before lighting the fuse, Lao Ma prophesied with great certainty, and in order to prove his certainty, he even turned his back and fired a cannon.

The pound bronze cannon let out a loud bang for the third time, and after a few seconds, a huge red fireball erupted in the middle of the wooden sailboat, and then a huge explosion could be heard all over the nearby sea.

The wooden sailing ship was blown in two, and the storm of iron and wood fragments even spread to a range of tens of meters around, and several small boats nearby were riddled with holes, and the people on it were covered in blood and wailing, looking extremely miserable.

"This is the strength of our artillery brigade!"

The old horse stood with his head held high with a torch, proudly receiving the applause from the surrounding crew.

When the Qionghai joined the battle group, the crisis of the four lucky ships was relieved. However, the sailors on the ships did not show any ease. On the contrary, everyone is on guard as if they are facing a great enemy -- in these days, there is no such thing as "the enemy of the enemy is a friend" on the sea, and the standard mode of action is to eat black and eat black. With the strong strength shown by the Qionghai, if they really want to attack these four lucky ships, these people don't even have room to fight back.

Fortunately, this group of young men from modern times has not yet had the idea of taking the sheep by the hand for the time being, although the fruitful results obtained from the last naval battle have made many people have the idea of "it is better to do a good job than to grab it well". But on the whole, at least for now, most people are still relatively pure and kind, and the promising career of pirate robbery has not yet been generally accepted by them.
