"It's the fleet of sea wolves! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Smoke the wolf! Warning shots! A junior officer on the ship, after being stunned for a while, suddenly realized the identity of the fleet, and immediately screamed in alarm.

It was only at this time that the officers and soldiers on the ship reacted and hurried to the side of the ship, where several braziers were placed and the wolf smoke in the braziers was ignited.

At the same time, they were also equipped with a cannon on board, and someone immediately rushed over and lit the cannon, only to hear the knock knock, three puffs of gunpowder smoke came out of their ship one after another, and three huge cannon sounds rang out.

After these three horns sounded in the calm Pinghai Bay, this calm was suddenly broken, and the sound was heard far away, and the wolf smoke from the official and military sentry ship also rolled into the sky.

Liu Yinglong, who was busy preparing for the war in Nanri Water Village, was still a little unconvinced of his ears when he heard the sound of the horn and cannon coming from the direction of Niutouwei on Meizhou Island in the distance, and asked the soldiers who followed him: "Did you hear it?" How can I hear the sound of cannons in the northeast?"

The face of the pro-soldier also changed at this time, and he nodded again and again: "I heard it!" It is indeed the sound of a warning cannon! ”

Liu Yinglong was taken aback in his heart, and immediately went straight to a watchtower in the northeast corner of the water village, and after flying up the arrow tower, he put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, looking in the direction of the cow's head and tail.

At this time, the wolf smoke on the sentry ship had already risen into the air and rose in the sky, and Liu Yinglong shouted in shock: "Enemy attack!" Sound the gong to warn, pass on my command, and all the brothers immediately board the ship and prepare for battle! It's the sea wolf coming! Damn, in the end, Lao Tzu guessed it, these sea wolves really have to do it first! Fast! Hurry aboard! ”

The sound of a gong immediately sounded in Nanri Water Village, and these officers and soldiers who were still working blindly in various places in the water village immediately panicked when they heard the sound of this rapid warning gong, and the sound of the gong meant that the enemy was coming, and the sound of the gong was so close that it also showed the urgency of the situation.

A large number of officers and soldiers immediately threw away what they were busy with, and rushed towards the direction of the dock, and the officers were even yelling and shouting at the command of their subordinate soldiers, while scolding the officers and soldiers on Meizhou Island for eating talents, scolding their subordinates for not being able to find the north like headless flies at this time, and scolding the sea wolves for running to sneak attack at this time.

In short, they scolded everything they could think of, and hurriedly beckoned their soldiers to hurry up and board the ship and raise anchor, ready for battle.

When the sea wolf's fleet bumped into the official and military sentry ship that was about to sail out of Pinghai Bay, Ma Xiao put down his binoculars and sighed slightly, it seems that the officers and soldiers are still prepared, at least the sentry ship is put on the sea to prevent a sneak attack, which shows that the officers and soldiers are not careless enough to think that their sea wolves dare not come here to strike first.

In this way, their plan to go straight to Nanri Water Village to launch a surprise attack is over, and then they will directly kill Nanri Water Village and attack Nanri Water Village.

However, to be able to walk here, only to be discovered by the official army, Ma Xiao is also content, here is not far from the Nanri Water Village, even if the officers and soldiers of the Nanri Water Village get a warning, it is estimated that they will not be able to react quickly enough, you must know that the sailing ships of this era, every time they lift anchor and raise their sails, it takes a long time to leave the dock, especially if there are more ships at the pier, it will be more difficult, and it is even likely to cause serious chaos.

At the beginning, the sea wolf defeated Chu Cailao's large fleet on Nanri Island in one fell swoop, relying on this method, and suddenly appeared outside Houshan Bay, blocking Chu Cailao's boat group on the shore, so that it did not have enough time to anchor and raise the sails, and used Houshan Bay to have a fair duel with the sea wolf on the sea, so that in the end, it was completely taken by the sea wolf.

Today, the official army is estimated to be no better, and after arriving here, time is enough for him to attack.

Ma Xiao nodded to the soldiers beside him and said, "Let's start!" The flotilla began to separate! Let the one-eyed dragon lead the team to Puxi, shell the city of Puxi Qianhu, drag them down, and don't let them rush to the water village to support there! The rest of the ships followed my boat and went directly to Nanri Water Village, so that the officers and soldiers could see the power of our artillery! ”

Among the fleet of more than 30 boats, seven large ships were immediately divided and rushed straight to the city of Puxi Qianhu not far away, and the remaining 20 or so boats went straight to the Nanri Water Village in the south under the leadership of Ma Xiao.

As for the official and military sentry ship blocking in front of them, Ma Xiao didn't even have any interest in asking, and the three flying clippers had already rushed towards the official and military sentry boat at this time, only to hear a burst of cannons, and then look at the small official and military sentry boat, it was immediately beaten and debris flew around, and even though it began to enter the water in large quantities, it stumbled towards the Niutouwei shoal on Meizhou Island, trying to grab the beach and run aground on the shoal, and the province sank into the water.

And the fleet of sea wolves rushed to Nanri Water Village without stopping, and a distance of several miles for them, that is, two quarters of an hour's work, could be reached.

But for the officers and soldiers gathered in Nanri Water Village, these two quarters of an hour were too short.

Although Liu Yinglong had been wary before, he thought that the location of Nanri Water Village was relatively good, even if the sea wolf wanted to sneak attack, he would first bypass both sides of Meizhou Island and attack Nanri Water Village from the north and south.

And Meizhou Island as the gateway of the Nanri Water Village, there is a beacon tower to monitor the sea, if the fleet of the sea wolf is coming, it will definitely be discovered by the beacon first, as long as the beacon beacon smoke together, he will have enough time to take the fleet of the water village out of the river, even if he can't beat the fleet of the sea wolf, he can also avoid the Meizhou Bay, even if the fleet of the sea wolf is powerful, it is estimated that he will not dare to go straight into Meizhou Bay.

So he wasn't very nervous about this, but today he found out that he was very wrong, the sea wolf fleet came over, and several beacon towers on Meizhou Island didn't react at all, and he was stunned when the sea wolf fleet bypassed the bull's head and tail, and was only discovered by the sentinel ship to warn.

As a result, the sea wolf's fleet was already close to them, leaving them not enough time to prepare for the situation.

So he scolded the officers and soldiers on Meizhou Island in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly rushed to the dock, climbed onto the medium-sized fortune boat he docked at the trestle, and ordered the ship's sergeants to set sail immediately and prepare to meet the sea wolf fleet that had been killed.

But the other officers and soldiers were not so lucky, the number of trestles in Nanri Water Village was insufficient, only a few warships could lean on the trestle, and the other warships were moored in the berths outside the pier, and the only way to board the ships was to ferry them by sampan.

However, the number of sampans is limited after all, and the number of people loaded is not very large, and it will take a long time to send all the officers and soldiers in the water village to their warships. ‘

What's more, it is now late winter, and the weather in Fujian is already very cold, and during the Xiaoice River period, even the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong has snowed, which shows that the weather in this era is indeed cold enough.

The sea was so cold that no one dared to jump into the water at this time and swim to their boat, so all the officers and men on the shore crowded on the dock or on the shore, shouting and shouting to the sampans to come and send them to the boat.

But it always takes time to transport people with sampans, and it is precisely the sea wolf that did not leave enough time for them, and many officers and soldiers could only jump to their feet in a hurry, but they could not board the ship, and watched a fleet of ships rushing towards their Nanri Water Village, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer, they could already clearly see the golden sea wolf flags fluttering on the top of the masts of those ships.

At this time, Nanri Water Village was even more chaotic, and the sound of shouting and screaming filled the sky over the entire Water Village, and at this time, they heard a series of roars from the side of Puxi Thousand Households.

The last time the one-eyed dragon was sent to the side of Twin Peaks Island, he failed to catch up with the battle between Nanri Island and Chu Cailao, this time this guy wanted to participate in this operation, so he was sent by Yu Xiaotian to listen to the order.

Before the one-eyed dragon set off, he was ordered by Xiaotian, before arriving at Nanri Water Village, he led a few large ships alone, first went to Puxi Qianhu City, and went there to bombard Puxi City, and contained a large number of officers and troops gathered in Puxi Qianhu, so that they did not dare to leave Puxi City, and bought time for Ma Xiao to lead the fleet to attack Nanri Water Village.

This guy is majestic today, and the few boats he brought with him are all lucky boats, and each ship is equipped with twelve-pounder guns and more six-pounder guns.

Although in naval battles, these naval guns do not have a long range, but that is only for attacking enemy ships when fighting at sea, and now let them shell cities on land, they don't have to worry about the range.

The one-eyed dragon led seven large ships, and after leaving the fleet of horses, he immediately swooped down on the city of Puxi Thousand Households not far from them, and when it was still a mile or two away from the Thousand Households City, the one-eyed dragon brazenly ordered to start firing cannons.

At this time, it was Zhang Jiace, the deputy commander-in-chief of Fujian, who gathered nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers here, ready to set off to Nanri Island to attack Nanri Island Dazhai at any time.

For this reason, Zhang Jiace was ordered to bring several heavy cannons in Zhangzhou, these heavy cannons are some Hongyi cannons that the Fujian government has just convened craftsmen in Zhangzhou last year to imitate, although the performance of this batch of newly cast Hongyi cannons is not as good as the performance of the cannons made by the Dutch, but it is also far more than other types of cannons cast by the Ming Dynasty before.

Whether it is range or power, including accuracy, these newly cast Hongyi cannons have improved a lot, but there is a problem, that is, when the Fujian government casts this batch of red-coated cannons, the craftsman skills are limited, and when the first few imitation Hongyi cannons are tested, there are many explosion accidents.

Later, the craftsmen had to increase the thickness of the cannon wall to improve the safety of the cannon, which finally solved the problem of exploding, but it brought a negative effect, that is, although the Hongyi cannon they cast was only similar to the twelve-pounder or eighteen-pounder cannon, it was much heavier than the similar cannons cast by the skilled Western gunsmiths.

The heaviest Hongyi cannon weighs even 5,000 catties, and the lightest weighs more than 2,000 catties, although the cannons of later generations are casually heavier than these cannons, but the modern cannons of later generations contain steel gun carriages and tube retreat structures, aiming structures, but the cannons of this era are basically just a cannon barrel.

Therefore, although the Fujian official army acquired the ability to imitate Western cannons after the Battle of Penghu, this imitation ability is not perfect at present, so that the quality of the cannons they cast is poor, and the weight is very clumsy.
