The group hurriedly ran onto the bow deck, Ling Ning held a telescope and pointed to the front of the side of the route, and there was a vague sail shadow in the distance:
"Look!"
Everyone raised their binoculars to look over there, and in the distance, several ships of not small size appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the distance between the two sides was still far away, if it were not for high-powered telescopes, it was almost impossible to see that it was a ship. \\23hh.cc\\
"It's a Chinese hard sail...... It seems to be a wide ship or a fortune boat, I don't know much about this. ”
Wang Ruobin was not on the ship, Ling Ning only dabbled in these things slightly, and they were too far away, and it was even more difficult to distinguish. But it can be seen that there are quite a few of them.
"Xiaodong, turn on the radar and see how many ships the other party has."
The speed of the Qionghai was not fast at this time, Huang Xiaodong adopted the most fuel-efficient navigation method, and the radar was not turned on, otherwise it would probably have been discovered earlier.
Now, of course, he can't care about saving, Huang Xiaodong quickly turned on the marine radar, and after a moment of radar wave scanning, several light spots were displayed on the phosphor screen.
"Seven...... Nine...... No way! There are more than fifteen of them, and there are so many small ideas that I can't count. ”
Xie Xi let out a curse, and Pang Yu glanced at Ling Ning next to him, and both of them showed incredulity in their eyes.
"Actually ambushed? How does the other side know the date and route of our troops? ”
Responses were mixed. But as the supreme commander of this small unit. Wang Haiyang's reaction was very simple:
"All on alert. Get ready for battle! Sharp whistles immediately sounded everywhere on the ship. It was the squad leaders assembling the soldiers. The Qionghai after being modified for battle. A number of sandbags were piled up throughout the ship. Usually used as a shooting bunker. Sand can also be used to extinguish the fire if necessary.
The middle of the hull. All three guns were erected. This time they had long-barreled artillery capable of firing straight through. It was also equipped with incendiary bombs. The enemies are all wooden boats. No matter how much you come, you won't be afraid.
Nothing terrible, really. As long as the oil in the Qionghai is sufficient. In this era on the surface of the sea. No ship can only compete with it. \\23hh.cc\\Even if it's the case now. As long as this side turns around and accelerates. Those sailboats simply couldn't catch up.
However, Wang Haiyang obviously has no intention of backing down. The ship was full of armed men. I was supposed to send troops to fight in the war. If you see the shadow of the sail from afar, you will run away. Then they simply don't go to sea in the future.
The Qionghai still maintained its original course and moved forward firmly. It's also slightly faster.
As time passed, the two sides approached, and soon, they were able to see each other with the naked eye. As the scene in the telescope gradually became clearer, the mood of everyone on the Qionghai gradually changed from nervousness at the beginning to ...... Surprised.
"They...... In cannibalism? ”――
Here, the Qionghai was ready for battle, and thought it would face a Dadonggou-style encounter. Unexpectedly, the more than a dozen big ships on the opposite side were not as expected here: lined up in an array, but were entangled and mixed with each other, fighting each other.
Ship and offboard. Smoke from the firing of old bronze cannons and arquebuses was everywhere, and fireball rockets flew back and forth from ship to ship, but even more dazzling than these firearms were countless snow-sparkling sword lights, and the blood that splattered with them.
Although it was far away, the roars and screams could still be faintly heard from the battlefield over there, and from the binoculars, you could clearly see the severed limbs and even the human head rolling into the sea, which seemed to be not a show. On the opposite side was not one flotilla but two, and they were fighting each other well.
Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it is not an ambush, it is just a coincidence. Xie Xi had just connected the radio and was going to remind the main base to be careful of the raid, but at this time he also paused his actions and turned his head to look over there.
"Which one is this singing?"
"Robbery, pirate ships robbing merchant ships, a common repertoire in the South China Sea during this period, we are fortunate to see a real performance."
Ao Sayan, the leader of the third platoon, helped the bridge of his nose to put his glasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke softly. He is a native of Yilan, Taiwan. The Chinese language always has a Hokkien accent. Under his reminder, everyone gradually discerned the shape: sure enough, it was a group of smaller ships that were besieging the four larger two-masted ships. The four ships were all ocean-going, with a deep draft, and seemed to be loaded with cargo. But at the moment, it has been caught by many hooks and ropes, like bees stuck to the ground by cobwebs, and they can't run if they want to.
Once it was clear that it had nothing to do with him, the mood of everyone on the Qionghai was much more relaxed, but how to act next always had to take a charter. Everyone turned their attention to Wang Haiyang, and Wang Haiyang let everyone watch and do it by themselves -- he was only in charge of the war. Nothing else.
Shrug. Ling Ning took the lead in spreading his hands:
"It's not a good bird to be able to run on the sea during this period, so we don't need to make a random move. Let's make soy sauce. ”
Ling Ning's opinion was unanimously agreed by everyone, and during this period, on the sea, especially on this side of Southeast Asia, the two roles of pirate ships and merchant ships could be switched to each other at any time. There is no law to talk about on the sea, and a sea ship sails alone on the ocean, and when it sees the shadow of a sail in the distance, it quickly wants to make a judgment -- those who are stronger than themselves should run away quickly, and those who are inferior to themselves can consider grabbing it. Fortune or death is often in between this thought.
If it were normal times, these boring modern people might still think about presiding over justice or something, but now that everyone has a task, they don't bother to meddle anymore.
…… So, in a leisurely mood of playing soy sauce, the Qionghai slowly glided over the sea about a thousand meters away from the fierce battlefield, and Huang Xiaodong deliberately slowed down according to everyone's requirements, so that everyone could see the excitement more.
The sudden appearance of this large iron ship with such a huge size obviously gave the other party a great shock, and the four besieged lucky ships couldn't take care of themselves too much, and the attackers who had obviously gained the upper hand reacted more violently, and several ships that were on the periphery and were relatively large quickly broke away from the battle circle and put on a vigilant posture towards the Qionghai.
From here, the binoculars can clearly observe: on the deck of the opposing ship, many sailors are running around in a panic, pushing open the messy crates and barrels on the deck, revealing a few small six-pounder cannons of poor caliber, nervously aiming in this direction.
The Qionghai didn't mind the nervousness of the little ones, just as the haughty lion king didn't care about the herbivores when he passed by the antelope herd. The distance between the two sides is about a kilometer, and those small-caliber guns are not a threat in any way. The big iron ship kept its original course quietly and harmlessly, and continued to head towards Qiongzhou Capital.
If...... If nothing happens, the matter will be over: everyone on the Qionghai will watch a big show, the robbers will still get rich, and the four unlucky ships will still end up like they did in history.
But...... The world is always full of accidents. Butterfly wings always have to be flapped, and this time, it was not the modern people on the Qionghai who caused the "accident", at least not by them on their own initiative-
Maybe it was the sight of the Qionghai leaving silently, which made the people on the other side a little carried away, or maybe some brain-dead wanted to demonstrate against this side, in short, they did a very stupid thing - of course, not to open fire, those pirates no matter how bold they were, would not dare to take the initiative to provoke such a huge iron guy.
They just raised a flag, the flag itself has no characteristics, the workmanship is rough, much worse than the previous Dutch, but the big "" word on the flag is very arrogant, hunting and fluttering in the sea breeze, and you can see it clearly without a telescope here.
"Liu ......? Liu Xiangdi's fleet? ”
The men on the Qionghai glanced at each other, and two words burst out of everyone's mouths:
"him!"
"Woo......"
With a long whistle, the Qionghai, which had already traveled some distance, turned around and announced with a loud whistle that it would join the battle and would undoubtedly be the protagonist.
What follows is a bit like a picture in the animal world: on the savannah, a group of hyenas are fighting over a few pieces of stinky meat, but a raging African elephant suddenly rushes from the side......
The pirate ships on the opposite side were about 200 materials, equivalent to more than 100 tons, which was not small among the Ming ships. It's a pity that if you run into a 3,000-ton ironclad ship here, it's not even a wild dog.
The stupid ship with the banner of Liu Zi bore the brunt, and it was too late to even turn the rudder and escape, and was directly plowed into the sea by the wedge bow of the Qionghai. The wooden hull of the ship shattered instantly, making a loud noise, and the people on board did not even have a chance to escape except for diving early.
It wasn't until long after the Qionghai sailed that a few pieces of broken wreckage, including half of the mast, floated from its tail track, and that was the only thing left of the Ming ship. Looking at the big banner of the word "" that was still floating and sinking in the sea, Ling Ning sighed softly:
"So, don't be too arrogant......"
