The army of the Song people!

Quick, retreat!

The battle for the battery was over, and a squadron of 500 Army soldiers sent out by the city of Manhattan completely routed the pirates besieging the battery in a single charge.

The pirates, when faced with flintlock pistols that were fast in fire and had good accuracy, their disadvantage in equipment was highlighted.

At the same time, flintlock pistols equipped with bayonets inflicted great damage on them when charging at close range.

The Gene Men soldiers, following the Napoleonic era musket phalanx, formed an offensive formation.

When the pirates faced this hedgehog-like phalanx, they were simply helpless to deal with it.

So, after leaving behind a corpse, they finally retreated.

However, the genetic people did not let them go, but followed and continued to hunt and kill.

Poor 2,000 pirates, God knows if they will make it back alive in the end.

It is important to know that the genetic soldiers of the Manhattan Army were educated without prisoners.

And this happened around the battery on Manhattan Island.

Unlike the Fort in Manhattan, because Manhattan Island is inhabited by Mohicans, it is a militia of Mohicans that will deal with the pirates.

Although these pirates are not facing genetic people, they are also tragic.

These Mohicans used a variety of tactics to inflict casualties on the pirates during battle.

Blow arrows!

Throwing axes!

A flintlock pistol and a bottle bomb!

In addition, when pirates are killed or seriously injured, their scalps are cut off.

Yes, if it were dead, there was nothing, but most of the time the badly wounded pirates were not dead immediately, but they would see the glittering Mohicans walking towards them with daggers.

Being cut off a large part of the scalp alive is really unimaginable.

The pirates of the cups were hit by a counterattack in this way.

And whether it's the genetic human troops. Or the Mohican militia on Manhattan Island, all of which have created a miracle.

That's the miracle of zero casualties.

I have to say, this thing seems a little weird.

Compared to the casualties in the battle at sea, their army can say that these things are incredible.

In any case, the pirates' attacks on the fort were broken up one after another.

And the battle on the sea, with the addition of one hundred and twenty tin fishing boats, made the tide of the battle begin to develop in favor of the Manhattan side.

"Sir, we don't have many rocket launchers, are we going to return now?"

This time. The commanders of several tin fishing boats that carried out the assault encountered such a problem.

Yes, despite their brilliant successes, their knock-off bazookas are also depleting very quickly. So now the bazookas on their ships are almost consumed.

If these bazookas are depleted, they will become active targets.

When they face the pirates, they will never be able to fight back.

"Alright, return. The following battle will be left to the brothers in the back, anyway, they still have plenty of weapons, aren't they? ”

After a short period of consideration. The commanders of the tin fishing boats decided to retreat.

Anyway, if they continue to fight, it won't help the situation of the war.

After all, they don't have weapons, do they.

But behind them, there are many companions.

Therefore. The following battles will be given to them on it.

And they can also save themselves from being in danger and suffering unnecessary losses.

In this way, the tin boat that ran out of bazookas and then quickly turned around and returned home.

The iron boats in the rear took over the positions of their attack. Continue to push forward and fight the pirates.

Compared to the ease with which the rapid response fleet is maneuvering, the pirates are a little flustered.

"Fire! Shoot me and sink these guys! ”

Look at the tin boat with the weird weapon. As they came up, the captains of the pirate ships shouted and ordered.

Rumble! Rumble!

One shell after another landed at a great distance from the tin fishing boat, and there was no way to hit its hull.

First of all, the hull of the tin fishing boat is small.

And the corsair's guns are not very accurate, so it's normal that they can't hit.

It's like fighting mosquitoes with a cannon, it depends on luck.

Moreover, the pirates' warships are double-decked warships on one side, and the number of guns they have is only about 20.

One of the battleships with the most guns was Blackbeard Jack's flagship, the Deep Ghost, which had thirty-six eight-pounder guns.

After all, this was only the 17th century, and the three-deck battleship would not appear until the 18th century.

And by that time, the number of shipborne artillery will increase.

These pirates didn't have the kind of plug-in that Zhao Hongyu did, and could build a four-deck heavy battleship with 108 guns.

And in this way, on the side of a pirate ship, there are also eleven or twelve guns that can be fired.

And most of these guns, which are mainly eight-pounder guns or twelve-pounder guns, will not have a long range.

It is not that the bigger the artillery, the better, because the wooden hull has to take into account the recoil of the artillery shots that it can withstand.

Large-caliber artillery is certainly very powerful, but the recoil problem cannot be solved, and it is also very troublesome.

When a cannonball fires out, the whole ship often shakes.

In the case of a shoddy ship, the deck could collapse even by the recoil of the guns.

In that case, the whole ship is finished.

If this situation is happening in the Atlantic, then it has to be said that it is a disaster.

Thus, eight-pounder and twelve-pounder guns became mainstream.

It was only after more than 100 years that Europe solved some of the keel problems of the hull, and heavy shipboard guns were slowly added to ships.

But that was more than a hundred years later.

Zhao Hongyu's four-deck heavy battleship was not among them.

You must know that with plug-ins, he has solved a lot of problems.

And 108 24-pounder guns, which can definitely help him become an invincible presence at sea.

"Captain, those ships are too small for us to hit them!"

The pirate fleet rushed to the ships at the forefront. Continue to suffer from bazooka attacks.

These pirate warships continued to burst into flames, and then slowly sank into the sea in the burning flames.

Countless pirates jumped from the ship wailing and blazing, hoping to save their lives.

At this moment, this sea area has become a hellish Shura field.

After the flotilla of tin fishing boats joined, more than a hundred pirate ships were destroyed in just two hours.

Just fifteen nautical miles from Manhattan, this stretch of water is littered with debris of warships and pirates who have been lucky enough to survive.

Some pirate ships have not yet been silent. However, it stopped on the surface of the sea in a big red sky, and the surrounding reflection was red.

The loss of more than a hundred warships was not small for the pirates.

There is no heavy damage in this, it refers to a complete destruction.

Although the bazooka is a copycat and can only be fired once.

But the power of the explosion was so great that it could completely destroy a wooden battleship in five or six rounds.

It is precisely for this reason that the pirates suffered such great losses.

In the early melee with the Manhattan fleet, the pirates lost a lot of warships.

Now after a one-pass attack by the fleet of tin fishing boats. The pirates' losses were even greater.

The Pirate Union, which originally had more than 400 warships, now has more than 280 warships.

As for the iron fishing boats, more than 50 began to return because the bazookas were exhausted.

But there were still more than sixty tin fishing boats left. to deal with pirates.

"Jack, let's retreat. Manhattan has a secret weapon here, and we're no match at all. If this continues, our ships will all be destroyed. ”

At this moment. Someone had already begun to persuade Blackbeard Jack to retreat.

Unlike the excitement of the past, the pirates were now filled with fear and remorse.

Yes, this time they lost too much, too much.

But they didn't even see the port of Manhattan.

Blackbeard Jack had a gloomy face. The light of the fire in the distance flickered from time to time, and his face loomed in the firelight.

Retreat?

Blackbeard was a little reluctant.

After all, it's been fought to such an extent, wouldn't it be a waste of all the work to retreat like this?

However, Blackbeard also knew that if they didn't retreat, they would really be here.

He had a premonition that something was not quite right, and now he finally knew that something was wrong.

He had thought of things too simply, thinking of Manhattan as an undefended and wealthy city.

He thought Manhattan would be like a Spanish colony in Central America, powerless against his own attacks.

But he was wrong, very wrong.

The people of the Song Empire were fundamentally different from those Europeans.

They have terrible weapons, and they don't even know what to do.

And they also have small boats that can sail on the surface of the sea without the help of sails and wind power.

None of this was seen in the early intelligence.

It can be seen that the Song Empire still doesn't know how many terrible things are hidden in the Dao.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it seems that he has to retreat first.

Now that they have lost so much, there is no way to continue the idea of Manhattan in a short period of time.

"Retreat!"

After gritting his teeth for a while, Blackbeard Jack finally gave the order to retreat.

The pirate ship in the rear began to slowly turn around, ready to flee.

Faced with such a good opportunity, how could the rapid reaction fleet let it go.

They all know that the U-turn of the sailboat of this era is very slow and time-consuming.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, they can continue to destroy a lot of pirate ships, right? (To be continued.) )
