Chapter 197: Contact Battle

Although the number of ships left behind on the sea wolf's side was limited, the number of ships sent by Chu Cai to explore the way was not much, and after the two sides found each other, they immediately rushed towards each other, and soon fought on the sea in the northwest corner of Nanri Island.

The meeting between the two sides this time can be said to be extremely red when they see each other, and they don't even greet each other, so they immediately start fighting, leaving no mercy for each other.

The sea wolf has the advantage of technique, the ship is in good condition as a whole, and it is well-trained, but Chu Cailao's subordinates have the advantage of experience, and the subordinates on these ships who arrived in advance are basically veterans and quite fierce.

The two sides because Chu Cai's old ships are relatively scattered, so they did not take the way of fleet fighting, basically catching and killing, the sea wolf also took advantage of the number at the beginning, and formed a situation where several ships besieged each other's ships in a short time, and the sea wolf patrol ship scattered in the southern waters of Nanri Island also gave up continuing to patrol at this time, and withdrew to Nanri Island one after another, making the sea wolf form a roughly more than 20 ships of different sizes in the waters near Nanri Island.

Among these boats, only the Fu boat and the two catch boats and a few bird boats sat on by Liu Yidao are relatively large ships, and the rest are mostly small bird boats and dhows.

In addition to a few large ships equipped with new six-pounder guns, those small ships were still equipped with old guns because of the bearing capacity of the hull structure, but their degree of armament was much higher than that of these ships sent by Chu Cailao.

So at the beginning of the fight, the sea wolf relied on the advantage of firepower and personnel quality on the ship, and fought very beautifully, three or four Chu Cailao ships, as soon as they fought, they were beaten by their horses, and the debris on their ship flew around, and the hull was also smashed into thousands of holes.

And Chu Cailao's subordinates felt that a huge group of ships was coming behind them, and they were not to be outdone, desperately counterattacked, and tried to use their fierce advantages with gang jumping battles many times.

However, the sea wolf's men received orders in advance, and the captains of each ship tried their best to avoid such a white-knuckle battle with the other side, in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, and only tried to take a long distance, using their ship's guns to constantly bombard the opponent, and using the ship's muskets to shoot at the opponent.

As a result, Chu Cailao's subordinates were in a hurry but could not make contact with the sea wolf's ship, so they could only use the limited artillery on their ship to shoot at the sea wolf, and when they got closer, they used rockets to shoot the sea wolf's ship, and they were never able to give full play to their so-called advantages.

In this way, these fast Chu Cailao's subordinates were a little unlucky, and were beaten badly by these remaining sea wolf ships, several ships were disabled by the sea wolf ships in a short period of time, two ships were destroyed on the spot, and one ship was ignited on fire, forcing the pirates on board to abandon ship and jump into the sea to escape.

However, as more and more of Chu Cai's ships arrived, the number of Chu Cai's ships at sea began to take advantage, and these newly arrived Chu Cailao's men immediately joined the battle group and began to attack the ships of the sea wolves they found in pairs.

The initially one-sided situation at sea was broken by the newly joined ships of Chu Cailao, and the two sides entered a state of confrontation.

Liu Yidao saw that there were more and more ships on the other side, but he did not immediately lead the team to evacuate, but ordered the command flag to be raised to summon his nearby ships to move closer to him, and at the same time raised the handsome flag to show the identity of his ship.

The ships of the sea wolves that were fighting with the enemy nearby, after hearing the order and seeing Liu Yidao's ship raise the handsome flag, immediately began to move closer to him, and gradually gathered into a small fleet.

Liu Yidao led this small-scale fleet to continue to fight with these Chu Cailao ships on the sea, and the ships of the sea wolf were to conduct regular joint training, and they were basically familiar with the battle of the fleet, and they could cooperate with Liu Yidao's ship.

As soon as this small fleet was assembled, it exerted greater power, and Liu Yidao led this small fleet in the northwest corner of Nanri Island, rushing left and right, chasing and killing Chu Cailao's ships that appeared in this area.

In this small fleet, they had both new guns with long range and high power, as well as old guns with short range and low power, and they did not suffer a loss in long-range battles, but they had more firepower in close combat, and there were muskets on board as sharp weapons for auxiliary warfare, so they immediately turned the situation back for a while.

Although Chu Cailao's subordinates were very fierce and brave, they rushed towards the sea wolf's fleet, don't look at their experience in fighting people at sea, but they are not as skilled as the sea wolf, and they lack effective command, they are still in a state of fighting separately, at most, two or three ships that are similar to each other cooperate with each other, but it is a joke to use such tactics to defeat Liu Yidao's small fleet.

As a result, don't look at the number of Chu Cailao's ships on the sea at this moment, there are more and more of them, but the small-scale fleet of sea wolves led by Liu Yidao is not frightened at all, and the fight is impressive, and once again two or three Chu Cailao's ships have been overturned one after another.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and more sail shadows began to appear on the sea level in the south of Nanri Island, and dozens of ships began to drive towards the battlefield on this side of the Nanri Waterway.

Liu Yidao looked with a telescope in the direction where the enemy ship appeared, and one of his first mates said to him: "Deputy Liu is in charge of the team!" It seems that Chu Cailao's main force is coming over soon, shouldn't we also go? ”

Liu Yidao smiled coldly and said, "What are you afraid of?" Now is not the time to leave, we are still taking advantage of this, how can we be satisfied with leaving? Besides, Luo Xianbin's kid hasn't arrived yet, how can they know how powerful we are if they don't give them a dismount first, doesn't this make the surname Chu look down on us?

Don't worry, wait a little longer, and we'll check back when they come over! ”

When this batch of Chu Cailao's ships sailed into the Nanri Waterway, the Chu Cailao ships that had arrived in advance became more rampant, and their courage became stronger, and they began to pounce on Liu Yidao's fleet without their lives.

Liu Yidao carefully led his ships to the Nanri waterway, and continued to fire cannons to attack these enemy ships that pounced, at this time the numerical advantage of the enemy ships began to appear, and they could finally make up for their disadvantages with the numerical superiority, and Chu Cailao's ships began to approach them with the fire of the sea wolf.

When the distance between the two sides was shortened, the sea wolf's firepower advantage began to be contained, and some of the weapons on Chu Cailao's ship began to play a role, and they could no longer be beaten passively like just now.

After Chu Cai's ships got closer, they began to fire more and more rockets at the sea wolf's ship, and some small firearms on their ship, such as fire guns, also began to exert their power at this time, and they all lit up and hit the sea wolf's ship.

Although these rockets are not very powerful, but they are not without threat, rockets can ignite wooden hulls and sails, causing the ship to catch fire and burn, and the guns are loaded with a mess of scattered bombs, bombarding a large area, which is a greater threat to personnel, so the sea wolf side has also begun to have casualties.

As more and more enemy ships approached, Chu Cailao's ship also began to throw fire bricks and fire pots and other objects, which caused a greater threat to the sea wolf's ship, and they began to rush into the sea wolf's fleet, trying to tear apart the sea wolf's fleet, and then began to jump into the gang white-knuckle battle.

When a sea wolf's ship was finally blocked by an enemy ship, and was hit from the side by another enemy ship, the hull of the ship was immediately damaged, and Chu Cailao's men immediately squeezed it and began to swarm to the side of the ship, trying to jump over and grab the ship.

At this time, the personnel of both sides finally started the first white-knuckle battle in this battle, and they all rushed to the side of the ship and fought each other.

There was no doubt about the bravery of the Sea Wolves, and although the situation was not good for them, they did not surrender or give up, and the men on board took what they had at hand and threw themselves into the battle.

This is a knife tip to knife point, gun tip to gun tip of the actual battle, there is no difference in skill between the two sides, it is really a white knife into a red knife out, and soon there will be casualties, and some people fall in a pool of blood one after another.

The sound of angry scolding and screaming, the collision of knives and guns were intertwined, Chu Cailao's subordinates thought they were old fritters, and thought that they could easily solve these opponents, but they didn't expect to touch a nose in the past, and several people were killed by the other party, so even if they behaved very fiercely, they didn't succeed in jumping the gang, although the bravest guy jumped onto the ship of the sea wolf, but in the blink of an eye, he was chopped to death on the deck of the ship.

Without waiting for the two Chu Cailao's ships to launch the second gang jump, the sea wolf's boat began to fly out of some black things, and after landing on Chu Cailao's boat, it immediately began to explode with a bang, and a ghost crying wolf howl immediately sounded on the boat under Chu Cailao's men, and the sea wolf used their killer weapon in melee combat at this time, and threw the bamboo-shelled iron-shell grenade onto Chu Cailao's ship.

Seeing that the situation was not good, and the minions on board were suffering heavy casualties, they suddenly had no fighting spirit, and quickly turned the rudder and raised the sails and began to break away, so that the damaged sea wolf ship could be regarded as getting out.

However, the sea wolf's boat was badly damaged, and the hull began to flood, and after traveling some distance, the hull began to get heavier and heavier, and it tilted.

When a sea wolf's boat was ordered to come to their rescue, the captain of the damaged ship immediately decided that he no longer tried to save his own ship, and immediately ordered to abandon the ship, and before leaving, he set a fire on the ship, and transferred to another ship with the rest of the men, and began to chase the fleet.
