The lookout post of the Penghu fortress saw the billowing black smoke rising from the naval battle here, and quickly reacted, sending a large number of warships to rush to San Diego, and when Colonel San Diego saw that reinforcements were coming, he agitated the remaining soldiers to attack the Black Pearl again, and the demoralized Spaniards swarmed in.

Liu Ziguang stood still, waited until the enemy rushed to him, and shouted: "Release!" The soldiers standing in the first row pulled the trigger at the same time, and the iron sand sprayed by more than 20 fire guns knocked the Spaniards to the ground, and then Liu Ziguang then shouted: "Second discharge! The second row of guns opened fire, and the smoke rising from the black powder blocked people's vision, but they could still hear the tragic cry of the enemy who was hit on the opposite side, and the soldiers in the third row did not aim at it, and used the Zhuge crossbow in their hands to carry out a covering blow on the opposite side of the smoke.

"Follow me!" Liu Ziguang shouted, just now he appeared, there was a guy with a three-cornered hat and gold tassel epaulettes on the enemy ship, directing the battle, it seemed that it was the enemy commander, if he could capture it as a hostage, it would be of some effect.

A team of soldiers followed Liu Ziguang into the smoke and climbed along the rope to the enemy ship, and after a bloody battle, finally captured Santiago alive, when Liu Ziguang was covered in blood, when he returned to the Black Pearl with Santiago, Dugu Wen's eyes were straight, such a strong warrior, she had never seen the people around her so big, and she was always respectful to her, even the generals of the imperial court were like docile little sheep in front of her, and suddenly someone treated her so roughly, which made Dugu Wen very interested.

"Hey, what's your name?" Dugu Wen tightened the blanket on her body, and her head came out of the window and shouted at Liu Ziguang.

Liu Ziguang ignored her at all, threw Santiago to the ground and ordered: "Hurry up and get out of the battle." "Although the Black Pearl was hit by countless shells and arrows, it was not injured at all, as long as the steam engine was started, it could escape before the Spanish reinforcements arrived.

"Your Excellency's steam engine is broken!" A sweaty soldier crawled out of the bilge and reported that his face was covered with coal black, it was the man Liu Ziguang sent to monitor the stokers, although the Ming army and the pirates were temporarily allied, but after all, there was still a gap between them, and the pirates did not give up their attempt to recapture the Black Pearl at any time, so a small battle broke out in the boiler room, although a few people died, but the boiler pipes were destroyed, and the steam sprayed everywhere, as for the sails and masts, they had already been thrown into the sea, and now the Black Pearl has become a target ship with no ability to maneuver.

Several pirate stokers were escorted to the deck, covered in blood, and the officers and soldiers put their knives on the necks of the saboteurs, about to be beheaded.

The group of people who were fighting side by side just now quickly divided into two camps, and the pirates with weapons in their hands certainly would not allow the Ming army to slash and kill their comrades under their noses, and the battle on the deck was suddenly close to each other.

Seeing that the reinforcements of the Spaniards were about to be killed, but not only was the ship broken, but the pirates were no longer obedient, it was naturally not difficult to kill these pirates, but in this way, there was no one to help fight the war and help burn the boiler and start the ship, Liu Ziguang immediately drew his knife, cut the ropes on the bodies of several stokers, pushed them into the ranks of the pirates, and then turned around and jumped to a high place and shouted loudly: " Put down your weapons for me, everyone is Han, what grievances do you have, wait until the Spaniards are repulsed, and then I promise here that as long as I can get out, I will never hold you accountable, and when we get to a safe place, we will go our own way to the sky, and the Black Pearl is still yours. "The pirates were clamoring for a while, and no one came out to answer, and after a few battles, those who could be the backbone of the main heart were almost dead, and now most of the rest were ordinary stokers and gunners.

"Listen to the Spaniards he has to deal with first." Duguwen didn't know when she got out of the cabin, stood next to Liu Ziguang and said.

Since their own bosses have spoken, the pirates immediately put down their knives and guns, and obeyed Liu Ziguang's arrangement, some people went to repair the boiler, some people went to load shells, and the armament was organized, if the boiler could not be repaired in time, they could only die here.

"Thank you." Liu Ziguang briefly said to Dugu Wen, if it weren't for her timely turmoil, it was inevitable, Dugu Wen lowered her head and whispered: "It's nothing." I was waiting for Liu Ziguang to continue, but after waiting for a long time, no one spoke, and when I looked up, I saw that they had already run away to command the defense, and they had no time to pay attention to her.

Dugu Wen stomped her foot and was about to turn around and go back to the cabin to hide, but after thinking about it, she still stayed on the deck to help clean up things, collect arrows and weapons, and the pair of live parrots and monkeys saw that the situation outside was a little settled, and they also slipped out of their safe hiding places, so excited that they wandered around, chirping crookedly.

Liu Ziguang raised his binoculars and observed the Spanish warships coming from Penghu, there were more than 40 murderous and ferocious sailboats, among which were large sailboats of tonnage, and the wings were fast steamships, forming a pincer-like formation to outflank them.

Time passed minute by minute, the steam engine was still in the emergency repair, the Spanish warship had come to a stone's throw away, the sky was getting late, the black and oppressive warship was like a group of black devils, silently surrounded the Black Pearl, no one came out to shout, no one fired the first shot, so silently stalemate, the Spaniards had obviously appeared, as many as ten patrol fleets had been wiped out, and they did not dare to speak easily about this mysterious pirate ship.

The Black Pearl was in full battle, but the leaky boiler could no longer provide energy for the steam cannon, and the missiles moved from the cargo ship were also exhausted, and the remaining weapons were only bed crossbows and fire guns, and swords, Liu Ziguang encouraged everyone's morale: "It's the master, just stand up straight, don't let the Xiyi people look down on us, we have already overturned their ten ships, and they can be earned by killing them again." "Time passed minute by minute, under the guns of many Spanish warships, every second passed as long as a year, suddenly a Spanish steam warship opened fire first, and the solid cannonballs fired from the cannon hit the side of the Black Pearl, and when it landed, it smashed a pit in the protective iron plate, and then the other warships also moved, and the rockets in the sky came over, illuminating the sea in the night like a city in a festival.

Fortunately, the flammable equipment on the Black Pearl was very good, and the damage control system was also very complete, and the cannons and rockets could not cause too serious damage, but the dense blows overwhelmed the people, and if they were allowed to attack by the enemy, even the strongest hull would be pierced one day.

Liu Ziguang hid below the deck, anxious, if the enemy maintained a long-range strike like this, I am afraid that he would not even be able to see the face of the enemy, and the people of this boat would have to feed the fish, and the hostages that were finally caught would not have a chance to use it, there was really no good way.

Just when he was in a hurry to get on fire, the fire on the hull suddenly weakened, and he looked out of the porthole, only to see that the Spanish warships had been disorganized into a group, several sailing ships had begun to sink, and the sailors jumped into the water with shouts, and other ships were hastily serpentine maneuvers on the water, as if they were dodging something, but there was no shadow of any enemy ship on the water.

Could it be that the big squid dragged them down, Liu Ziguang thought endlessly, raised the clairvoyant mirror and observed the sea, a few more Spanish ships sank, and the remaining warships scattered in a hurry, and they didn't care about hitting the Black Pearl, and they retreated one after another.

Immediately after that, there was movement on the water in front of the Black Pearl, and the huge body of a big black fish slowly rose from under the water, and the sea water set off waves like a boiling pot, and countless people opened their mouths in disbelief and stared at this monster of unknown origin in disbelief.

The big black fish was the size of a thousand warships, and when it surfaced, you could see the hideous fangs and round eyes on the fish's head, as well as the strangeness on its back

"Hump" A slender pole slowly rises from the top of the hump, and the strip of cloth rolled on the pole unfolds in the wind as if it were a flag.

At the same time as the flag was raised

The electric lights around the "hump" are also turned on, and the high-brightness lights hit in matte black

The "big fish" has the flag shining on it, with a thin gold body

"Song" waving in the sea breeze. The pirates aboard the Black Pearl suddenly cheered, "There is help." "The Ming army looked at each other, where is this mysterious monster fish?

How is it that he is an accomplice of pirates. Only Liu Ziguang knew that this was a submarine in the Song Kingdom. A loud voice came out of the submarine's conning tower, first in Chinese and then in Spanish, and gave an order to the warship hiding in the distance: "The navy of the Great Song Kingdom solemnly warns you that the actions of your fleet have damaged the interests of our country, and you must return to your home port within a quarter of an hour, otherwise you will bear all the consequences." This is very domineering, very unreasonable, the Spaniards are fighting pirates at home, and they can actually damage the interests of the Song State two thousand miles away, it is really incredible, but the smart Spaniards are obviously not stupid enough to figure out the truth, the people just sank them silently, and a few of their ships are the best warning, in this sea area, there is definitely more than one submarine in the Song Dynasty, the disparity in strength is too great, the Spaniards wisely did not say anything, and retreated in a gray manner, leaving only a group of lifeboats to rescue the people who fell into the water on the sea.
