Chapter 243: Another Solution

Master Zhou listened to the sound of the waves on the shore, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Chu Cailao: "Big shopkeeper, these days, we have been trying to find a way to storm the Seawolf Village on the island, but we have forgotten that our fleet still has a lot of cannons!"

Although the sea wolf's cannon is sharp, but after all, the number is limited, why don't we try to let a group of ships attack the big village from the north of the sea wolf village tomorrow, accompanied by the brothers on the island to attack the big village from both sides!

Under the attack of the sea wolf village from these two sides, it will definitely take care of one and lose the other, maybe we will have a chance to attack and restrain it! In addition, when watching the battle recently, we also saw that the gunpowder we used recently was very effective, and it collapsed a section of the wall of the Seawolf Village.

Coupled with the offensive of the northern fleet, once we only blow up two or three walled walls, even if the surnamed Yu has three heads and six arms, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop us from attacking the wall, so it is advisable to make this wall!

Even if we can't capture their Dazhai tomorrow, we can only retreat, but we don't have to return to Dongshan Island first, but we can go to the coast of Fuzhou to raid and plunder first, at least let the brothers go back this time so that they won't run away, and it's not too late for us to find another time to clean up the surname Yu in the future! ”

After being reminded by Master Zhou, Chu Cai felt a little sudden, in the past three days, he only cared about leading his subordinates to find a way to attack the sea wolf village on the island, but he forgot that he still had two or three hundred boats floating on the sea and it was useless!

If he follows what Master Zhou said, if he attacks the sea wolf Dazhai from both sides of the sea and the island, the sea wolf will not have enough manpower, although there are many cannons, but after all, the number is limited, but it is really possible to force the sea wolf to take care of one or the other, and finally make a mistake and let him take the big village.

And this wall after his attack for several days, has been bombarded by his cannon is full of holes, many places have been crumbling, today with gunpowder to blow up a section of the wall, tomorrow can be used this method, and then to the sea wolf village to be ruthless, so to take this village is not necessarily a dream.

So Chu Cai got up all of a sudden, clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" Master Zhou is really smart! The old man actually forgot that there were so many ships! Someone, go and summon all the shopkeepers, and say that I have something important to arrange with them! ”

After a while, those shopkeepers were recruited from all over the place to Chu Cailao's big tent with a dejected yawn, and after everyone expired, Chu Cailao immediately told everyone about Master Zhou's plan.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Tomorrow we will fight for another day, if you can't take down Dazhai, I will take you out of here! It's not too late to find another opportunity to clean up this surname Yu!

And I won't let you run in vain this time! Let's not go back to Dongshan Island first, I will take you to find some other places along the coast of Fuzhou Prefecture, and you will not return empty-handed this time!

But tomorrow is the last battle, I hope you will do your best, as long as you take this sea wolf village, the old man can share most of what you have gained, in order to make up for your losses this trip! In the past, the old man took fifty percent, but this time, as long as he won this big village, the old man could only take two percent, and all the rest would be distributed to you!

Do you think this is possible? ”

After listening to these shopkeepers, their spirits were lifted, Chu Cai said that this method is more effective, they have always lived on the sea, relying on boats to make a living, and this time they are here, but they are lying on the island, attacking the big village of the sea wolf by storming, but forgetting that they still have so many ships, and there are many cannons on board.

Although the sea wolf has a lot of cannons, but it is far less than the guns on their ship, if they are flanked from both sides, the sea wolf will definitely not be able to mobilize all the cannons to deal with their ship, and then there will really be a chance to take this big village.

Although they are a little desperate today, it doesn't mean that they are willing to return to Dongshan Island so grayly, this time they came to fight the sea wolf village, it was really a pimple, no matter who it was, they all suffered heavy losses, and even to this day, there have been four shopkeepers who even folded themselves here, and were killed by the sea wolf's cannon outside the village.

Although they really don't want to fight anymore, but just like this, they are still unwilling, now Chu Cailao came up with this method sounds good, and Chu Cailao also promised them, tomorrow to fight another day, if you can't fight again, take them away, go back to the way along the way let them grab enough, so that even if tomorrow in case they can't take the sea wolf village, at least on the way back they can also make a lot of money in the coastal area, and the worst will not run in vain.

So after seeing the hope, these people were still a little excited, although the sense of decadence was not swept away, at least there was no strong sense of depression when they came over just now.

Seeing that it was not long before dawn, Chu Cai Lao planned to start acting together on land and sea as soon as it was dawn, taking advantage of the darkness, to mobilize the ships first, move to the north of the sea wolf village, and prepare for the attack, so he ordered the shopkeepers to go down to arrange now, according to their different strengths, everyone from their fleet to draw out a different number of ships, adjust the manpower to board the ship, and now start pulling anchor and setting sail.

So Chu Cai's old camp suddenly became lively again, all the shopkeepers shouted and began to dispatch their subordinates, some people left some people back on the boat, the island and the boat both began to prepare, as soon as the morning dawned, gamble, see if it can work today, take down this damn village.

After a busy day, some of the ships gathered on the shore raised strings of lanterns, and also hung lanterns on the side of the ship, bow and stern, and in the shouting of the minions on the ship, they began to pull iron anchors and stone anchors from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the ship.

One by one, the boats began to slowly raise their sails, and under the operation of the people on board, they slowly left the coast, moved to the wider sea, and then moved westward under the leadership of a large ship, and sailed to the outside of the bay north of the sea wolf village.

Chu Cailao's movements naturally could not escape the surveillance of the sea wolf, and when he saw the dotted ships moving to the mouth of the bay outside Dazhai with lanterns, someone immediately notified Yu Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian got up quickly, rushed to the wall north of the village with his guards, and looked at the sea with the help of a telescope.

At this time, there were probably dozens of boats that had sailed to the outside of the bay under the cover of nightfall, and were sailing into the bay, approaching Dazhai.

Although the sight was not good at night, Chu Cailao's subordinates lit lanterns to mark the location of their ships in order to avoid collisions with ships at sea, which also exposed their whereabouts.

Yu Xiaotian immediately realized what Chu Cailao wanted to do, and secretly scolded this old fox in his heart, this is to launch an offensive against the sea wolf Dazhai from both sides at the same time, forcing him to guard and not be able to take care of each other, and it is clear that he is still a thief!

Yu Xiaotian didn't say a word, he immediately ordered the northern forts to start preparing for battle, regardless of whether Tian Liang or not, as long as the enemy ships entered the effective firing range, they would immediately start firing cannons, and hit these bastards first.

The Seawolf troops on the turret on this side immediately took action, and the six-pounder and twelve-pounder guns were loaded one after another, and with the cooperation of the gun crew, they were quickly pushed to the gun door and began to aim and adjust the guns under the command of the gun commander.

It didn't take long for flames to erupt from the wall of the Sea Wolf Village, and then there was a rumbling cannon.

Chu Cailao's subordinates did not honestly follow Chu Cailao's instructions, and when it was dawn, they cooperated with the people and horses on the island to launch an attack, and they learned the power of the sea wolf's cannon on the first day, so some of the people led by them tried to use the cover of night to approach Dazhai first, and strive to use the miscellaneous cannons on their ships to fight back at Dazhai at dawn.

So before dawn, some of the ships had already begun to sail into the bay and approach Dazhai, but the light of their ship's air lanterns revealed their whereabouts and became the sights of the sea wolf gunners, and as soon as they approached the sea wolf Dazhai, the cannons of the batteries began to roar unceremoniously.

The shells whistled into the bay and began to fall into the fleet, some of which fell into the sea, causing waves of waves, and some of which hit the hull accurately, smashing a large hole in the ship, and smashing debris from the ship.

Chu Cai's old men suddenly exclaimed again and again, and realized that their lanterns had exposed their location, so they hurriedly extinguished the lanterns on the ship, but it was too late at this time, and the shadow of their ship could already be seen with the help of background light, which was not enough to prevent the sea wolf gunners from firing at them, only to somewhat affect the accuracy of some shelling.

Listening to the rolling cannons, Chu Cai Lao couldn't help but curse secretly, but there was nothing to be done about it, fight early, fight early, attract the attention of the sea wolf, it is not a bad thing for the island, anyway, the troops on the island will start to attack Dazhai at dawn, and the success or failure depends on today.

Chu Cai Lao slowly walked to the side of the ship, his body shook slightly with the shaking of the ship, he had enough on the island in the past two days, today Master Zhou came up with this strategy, he also took the opportunity to return to his boat, leaving a few cronies to supervise the battle on the island, and he was ready to personally go to the sea to supervise the battle, and the two sides of the sea wolf Dazhai.

And Chu Cai's old ship is a sturdy, luxuriously decorated a big fortune ship, the hull of this ship is full of about 600 materials, even more than the main force of the official army and naval division of the 400 materials warship, the displacement is about 400 tons or more, looking at the Ming coast in this era, such a big ship has been rare, since Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the Ming Dynasty's sea ship construction technology began to shrink, the sea ship to the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are few ships with more than 400 materials.
