Chapter 252: Fleeing with the Tail in the Middle
The sea wolves formed a phalanx, with musketeers, pikemen, and sword players working together, and when the enemy rushed towards them, the musketeers lined up in front without saying a word, forming several rows.
In Meng Fei's strange screams, rows of muskets began to sound one after another, and those Chu Cailao's subordinates who rushed over completely experienced the power of the Sea Wolf Division's platoon of guns.
The chaotic old subordinates of Chu Cai were under the volley of guns, and the beaten people suddenly turned on their backs, and rows of them were cut down on the beach like rice.
The minions who had just been organized were fired in a volley of muskets that split their heads and faces, and they were immediately scattered and scattered in all directions.
Chu Cailao's subordinates, who were already in a mess, were even more chaotic on the shore at this time, and some people began to jump into the sea without their lives, trying to swim to their own ships or their accomplices' boats, as for what boats they could climb on, they couldn't care about it at this time.
There are also people who see their fleet being blocked in the bay by the fleet of sea wolves, and the fireships are burning violently, and the cannons are fired in unison, bombarding them, seeing that even if they board the ship, they can't escape, they simply don't even get on the boat, they turn around and flee towards the mountains on the island, as for what to do in the future, they can't care about it at this time, let's save their lives first!
So don't look at the old Chu Cai's subordinates crowded on the shore, there are still a lot of them, and the number of people is even far more than the sea wolf tribe who killed them, but it was just a face, and they were immediately beaten by the sea wolf tribes, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back.
Looking at Chu Cai's old camp in the Houshan Bay area, there are all kinds of things thrown everywhere at this time, there are temporary grass huts, there are also many broken tents, and there are bonfires set up everywhere, of course, there are all kinds of weapons discarded by Chu Cai's old men.
When Chu Cailao landed on the shore this time, he unloaded a lot of miscellaneous cannons from each ship, and also moved a batch of swarm rockets, and there was also a Hongyi cannon that he regarded as the treasure of the town, all on the shore at this time, because the attack of the sea wolf fleet was too sudden, and they didn't have time to move it back to the ship.
As a result, most of these things were thrown on the beachhead by Chu Cailao's subordinates and became the trophies of the sea wolf tribes.
Looking at the sea at this time, Ma Xiao led the main fleet of the sea wolf, blocking the outside of Houshan Bay, and the cannon did not stop for almost a moment, constantly bombarding Chu Cailao's fleet that was blocked in the bay.
The other few fireboats had already rushed into Chu Cailao's fleet in the bay at this time, burning into wreckage, but at the same time, it also ignited more Chu Cailao's ships, and the entire Houshan Bay was a sea of fire, and a large number of Chu Cailao's ships were ignited and crackled.
The minions on the ship desperately drove their ships away from the fire, trying to break out of the back mountain bay to escape, but they had no organization at all, even if they rushed out of the anchorage, they were immediately blocked by the sea wolf's fleet and beaten, either destroyed on the spot, or forced them to turn around and flee back into the bay.
Only a few ships were fatal, and they broke out of the city, but they didn't dare to linger longer, and after sailing out of the bay, they hurriedly fled away and fled beyond the range of the fire of the sea wolf fleet, and some simply escaped without a trace.
The entire Houshan Bay area, this is the main battlefield of the two sides, the main fleet of the sea wolf is concentrated here, blocking the Houshan Bay to close the door and beat the old fleet of Chu Cailao anchored here, and soon dozens of ships were destroyed in the bay by them with artillery and fire.
It can be said that although the manpower of Chu Cai's ships greatly exceeded the sea wolf fleet, but the battle situation was one-sided, Chu Cailao's side completely lost the initiative because of the hasty response to the battle, and could only be blocked in the bay and passively beaten, and was beaten without the power to fight back.
On the other side, a fleet led by Chu Cai's old relatives, although they were in a hurry to death and wanted to return to the remaining fleet in Houshan Bay, but they were dragged by Liu Yidao and Luo Xianbin, and they were never able to get out of their entanglement, and they were beaten a lot, and the losses were not small.
The two sides fought at the same time on the sea and on the island, and the fight was inseparable, Liu Yidao took his ships and Luo Xianbin to cooperate, and he dragged Chu Cailao for half an hour, and did not let Chu Cailao get out of their entanglement.
Liu Yidao's life won valuable time for Ma Xiao, Ma Xiao took advantage of this opportunity to lead the main fleet, go all out to block the Houshan Bay, and beat the fleet of Chu Cai's old men in the bay, giving full play to the advantages of the sea wolf artillery, and constantly bombarding the enemy ships in the bay at a medium distance at any cost.
And on the ships under Chu Cai's old men, although there are a lot of various guns, the number is definitely much more than the sea wolf, but these guns are some old earthen guns, the range is short, the accuracy is low, the power is small, and it is easy to blow up, the simple ones don't even have a gun mount, they are directly tied to the side of the ship, and the sea wolf is not the opponent of the sea wolf at all.
Coupled with the sudden attack of the sea wolf, Chu Cailao and his men were caught off guard, and after just an hour, Chu Cailao's fleet suffered heavy losses, and he couldn't hold on.
At this time, Ma Xiao also found that Liu Yidao's side was fighting very hard, and seeing that the overall situation on Houshan Bay had been decided, he hurriedly divided a part of the ships and rushed to Chu Cailao's fleet.
At this time, Liu Yidao can be said to have persevered to the last moment, he carried more than ten ships, at this time has lost more than half, of which four were directly sunk, two ships were seriously damaged and had to leave the battlefield, rushed to the shoal and ran aground, only five boats are still struggling to support, if it weren't for Luo Xianbin always taking the clipper detachment to help, Liu Yidao estimated that he would not even be able to keep his own boat at this time.
Even so, Liu Yidao and the sea wolf troops on the remaining boats also suffered heavy casualties, they fought with the other party together, constantly engaged in broadside battles and white-knives battles, this is a knife and a gun, can not be fake, and there is no advantage to rely on, so at this point, the sea wolf troops on the remaining boats have already suffered nearly half of the casualties, and they have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Even Liu Yidao himself, he was hit by an arrow in the lower abdomen, and a deep wound was cut out on his arm by the other party, and a lot of blood was lost.
Just when Liu Yidao was forced to give up, Ma Xiao's reinforcements finally rushed over and joined the battle group.
This time, the horse owl sent nearly twenty boats at once, and the sea wolf troops on these ships had already swept away the haze before they had just returned, and the fight was smooth, so they could be said to have a high fighting spirit.
The sea wolf tribes on the boat brought by Liu Yidao, who were already at the end of the mountain, saw the arrival of reinforcements, so their morale was suddenly greatly boosted, and they immediately went crazy and fought with Chu Cailao again.
And Luo Xianbin also locked his eyes on Chu Cailao's Dafu boat at this time, and found the difference of this boat, and it can be determined that this boat is the handsome ship of this fleet, and it is Chu Cailao's boat, so at this time, almost all the firepower is concentrated on Chu Cailao's Dafu ship.
One or twenty pieces of artillery fired at Chu Cailao's ship in turn, and the bullet holes on Chu Cailao's ship were all over the place, a large section of the ship's side was also destroyed, and the sails were even more riddled with holes.
When Chu Cai arrived at this point, he was already frightened, seeing that the Houshan Bay had been burned into a sea of fire, and the main fleet of the sea wolf had begun to divide his troops and began to deal with his fleet.
Who is this guy? He is an old pirate who has been on the sea for more than ten years, how can he not see his current situation, Chu Cailao's heart is bleeding at this moment, he knows that he has completely planted it this time, and the strategy used by the sea wolf made him plant in this big pit.
He came over this time, it can be said that he didn't catch a single fart, he couldn't beat down Dazhai, and he was beaten by others on the island, he had a great advantage at sea, but the other party did not give him the opportunity to fight a fair battle, and suddenly in the early hours of the morning he came to a sneak attack, and he was caught off guard, so that many of his ships did not even have the opportunity to pull the anchor, and they were burned on the shore.
Now that he has completely lost the opportunity to regain the initiative, if he doesn't leave again, once the main fleet of the sea wolf turns around and finds him after dealing with his men on the other side of Houshan Bay, he may not even have a chance to leave.
The sea wolf's fleet can be said to be strong and strong, and the advantage in firepower is not within his reach at all, as long as the other party always controls the distance between the two sides, then he can only stand up and be beaten, and he does not even have the ability to fight back, and when this battle reaches this level, there is no need to continue fighting.
If he continued to fight, even he himself would have to stay here together, seeing that the matter had come to this point, Chu Cailao no longer dared to hesitate, and immediately withdrew his troops as soon as he gave an order, and began to turn the bow of the dozens of boats under his command and retreated towards the Nanri Waterway to the west of Nanri Island.
Liu Yidao looked at Chu Cailao's fleet that began to turn around and turn the rudder, and couldn't help but laugh a few times, and ordered all nearby friendly ships to immediately start pursuing Chu Cailao's fleet with all their might.
And he himself laughed a few times, his face was distorted and out of shape, he laughed, and the arrow wound in the abdomen was involved, and he gasped for cold air in pain, and the knife wound on his arm was even more painful, and he didn't even have the strength to stand for a while, and he fell on the board with a pop.
Seeing Liu Yidao fall suddenly, he was so frightened that the subordinates on the ship hurriedly rushed over, trying to help him up.
