Chapter 61: The Battle of Confusion 1
If their current strength is strong enough, then it is indeed a good choice to use this place as a lair, but at the moment they only have only about twenty men, and it is impossible for them to effectively control this place, so a good place like this has become a hot potato for them.
So Yu Xiaotian secretly made up his mind that after this incident passed, he would leave here immediately and find another place to stay! When he becomes stronger one day, it's not too late to come back and occupy this place!
Under the gaze of everyone on the mountain, Xiao Dazui's boat slowly began to sail into Eagle's Beak Bay, and everyone's hearts began to rise, if Xiao Dazui's boat was allowed to go inside, the boat they hid would be quickly discovered by Xiao Dazui.
Yu Xiaotian didn't know where Lu Dao pulled a piece of grass, chewed it slowly in his mouth, staring at the sea below with his eyes intently, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
Because at this time, the people on the top of the mountain have already seen that the other two official boats have bypassed the southern end of Dahuangdao at this time, and also appeared not far from Eagle's Beak Bay.
Xiao Dazui stared intently into his little eyes, scanning all the places in Eagle's Beak Bay, searching for any suspicious places, trying to find any traces of ships or people who might be hiding here.
And the other pirates on his ship, most of them were also looking carefully towards the Eagle's Beak Bay at this time, just like Xiao Dazui, when suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Look! There are boats! ”
After Xiao Dazui heard someone exclaim, he was first overjoyed, and then quickly turned his head to find a place to make a sound, only to see a subordinate minion pointing to the sea to the south, so Xiao Dazui hurriedly followed the direction of the finger of the subordinate and looked at it.
When they saw the two ships that appeared in front of them, Xiao's mouth opened completely, and his jaw almost fell on the deck.
The pirates of the whole ship, as if their brains had been short-circuited in an instant, looked at the two ships that appeared outside the bay one by one in amazement.
I don't know who Lu Dao suddenly exclaimed: "They are the ship of the government!" ”
This time, Xiao Dazui's boat seemed to be boiling, and suddenly a chicken flew and dogs jumped, only to hear Xiao Dazui's hysterical shout: "The wind is tight!" ! Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! Let's go! ……”
At the same time, on an official boat on the other side, Mr. Li and Inspector Liu were also a little surprised to look at the boat with the black flag in the bay, and they didn't react for a while, and it was only after a while that someone exclaimed: "Boat!" Pirates' ship! ”
As a result, the officers and men on the two official ships were suddenly also a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and many people were scurrying around on the boat, some went to get bows and arrows, some ran to the Furlong machine guns on the ship, some grabbed the rattan cards, and some simply rushed into the cabin and hid.
Li ...... Brother Li! This...... Whose ship is this? Liu Inspector was nervous, and he actually stuttered a little, and involuntarily grabbed the wrist of General Li next to him, and asked eagerly.
Mr. Li also woke up from the shock at this time, and scolded secretly in his heart, although they came to Dahuangdao this time to find the thieves in Xiaohuangdao, but after turning around for half a circle, they had already relaxed, and subconsciously, they didn't feel that they could really find the pirates when they came to this trip, but more still felt that this trip was just to take a turn, and then go back to explain to the above.
But he didn't expect that he had just turned the southern tip of Dahuangdao and actually hit a pirate ship, but he couldn't be sure for the time being, whether this was the group of people from Xiaohuangdao, but with the boat he saw when he chased the people from Xiaohuangdao to the beach, this boat was not the boat of the thieves from Xiaohuangdao.
But one thing is certain, this ship is certainly not an ordinary merchant ship, but an authentic converted pirate ship, and the purpose of his coming here today is to suppress thieves.
So he had to bite the bullet and shout, "Raise the sails!" Rush over and block it! Don't let it run! Get ready for battle! ”
After the soldiers on the official ship received the order, the thieves of the ships also immediately ordered the sails to speed up and speed towards Eagle's Beak Bay, while the soldiers on the ship hurriedly picked up the guys and ran to the side of the ship under the command of the officer, ready to engage in battle.
Eagle's Beak Bay is lively at this time, Xiao Dazui entered Eagle's Beak Bay without defense, and in a blink of an eye, he was blocked in Eagle's Beak Bay by two official ships, the water surface here is relatively narrow, and the official ships and their thief ships are in a two-to-one advantage, Xiao Dazui regrets this!
Originally, he came to find trouble with those people on Xiaohuangdao, and he ran over in a hurry, but without any defense, he ran into two official warships, and blocked them in the bay, if he couldn't rush out of Eagle's Beak Bay and be blocked here by two official ships, they would be in big trouble.
So Xiao opened his throat with a big mouth, scolded hysterically, and commanded his minions to hurry up to prepare for the battle, and at the same time quickly turn around and sail towards the outside of Eagle's Beak Bay, striving to rush out of Eagle's Beak Bay before the two official ships sealed the mouth of the bay, in that case, they estimated that there was still a possibility of escaping and ascending to heaven.
Caught off guard, Xiao Dazui's subordinates suddenly became chaotic, some people were busy adjusting the sails, raising the sails, turning the rudder, some people were preparing all kinds of guys, ready for battle, everyone was shouting, and I didn't know what they were called, in short, everyone was very flustered, and for a while, the boat was a little out of control, and began to spin in the bay.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Dazui scolded loudly, and at the same time rushed to the stern, kicked the helmsman on the ship to the side, grabbed the rudder, and at the same time shouted and scolded the guards on the ship, making them quickly adjust the angle of the sail, and finally controlled the direction of the hull, and began to slowly sail towards the mouth of the bay.
At this time, the two warships obviously had an advantage over Xiao Dazui, they were originally out of the upper hand, the speed of the ship was relatively fast, and after the sail was accelerated, they soon approached the mouth of Eagle's Beak Bay, and were ready to engage in battle.
Seeing that the two official ships were about to block their way, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Xiao Dazui was really crazy at this time, yelled and handed the rudder back to the helmsman, rushed back to the bow, and took his minions to put a rusty iron cannon on the bow of the ship, and beckoned his subordinates to hurry up and load.
Although the current official ships are not good, the quality of their equipment is still much higher than that of their ordinary pirates, and some official ships are equipped with small Fran cannons, and this kind of cannon is generally difficult for ordinary pirates to imitate or buy.
Just when Xiao Dazui was busy jumping up and down, the official ship was already ready, a Furlong cannon was operated by a few soldiers, the muzzle of the cannon turned to the left front of the ship's side, and some soldiers knocked a cast iron gun into the tail of the Furlong cannon.
As a soldier lit a small torch and the pestle was on the cannon of this light Furlong machine, a dull roar immediately came out of the official ship, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke immediately rose up, and the cannon loaded in dozens of rounds flew out of the barrel and went straight to Xiao's big mouth boat.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only more than 100 meters away, and almost half of the guns of the officers and soldiers hit Xiao Dazui's boat, and a pirate who was standing at the bow of the ship was caught off guard, and immediately hit, a bloody arrow spurted out of his body, and rolled on the board of the ship with a scream, and a pirate exclaimed, fell off the boat with his back to the sky, fell into the sea, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Some cannons didn't stop people, but they opened a few holes in the sails of Xiao Dazui's ship, which provoked the pirates on Xiao Dazui's ship to scream again, and they all lay down under the side of the ship and hid.
The officers and soldiers were unforgiving, and after a cannon shot, the archers began to shoot arrows at Xiao Dazui's ship, and more than 20 bows rose one after another, shooting arrows at the enemy ship, and the momentum was quite large.
Yu Xiaotian and the others on the mountain are a little hairy, today fortunately, Xiao Dazui accidentally blocked the disaster for them, otherwise, if they are found today, they will definitely not be able to fall on the ground, anyway, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are still a little level, at least the first round of contact battles played a majestic role.
After a round of baptism of arrows, although Xiao Dazui's group of pirates suffered certain losses, but they did not scare them down, in the end, these people are people who have been on the sea for a long time, even if it cannot be said that they are all outlaws, but they have all experienced some battles, and this minimum psychological quality is still there.
At this time, they also realized that if they didn't rush out of the city today, they would probably have to finish playing in this eagle's beak bay, after experiencing the initial chaos, they calmed down and began to become much more orderly, and they all found a good position to dodge, and they all picked up the rattan cards one after another, and began to fight back under the organization of Xiao Dazui.
The firepower of the pirate ships was inferior to that of the officers and men, but they did not lack the courage of close combat, and after being shot in the face by the officers and men, the archers among them also began to fight back, and about six or seven archers stood up, and under the cover of their accomplices, they also began to fire arrows at the nearest official ship.
As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the bows and arrows of both sides also shot more and more accurately, and several pirates shot eagle arrows flew into the ships of the officers and soldiers, and one of the soldiers did not dodge, but was pierced by an arrow through the chest on the spot, and fell to the deck with a scream.
The officers and men seemed to be a little orderly just now, and they fought well, but when one of the soldiers was hit by an arrow, they were immediately suppressed, and the archers shouted in surprise and hid under the side of the ship.
Taking advantage of the weakness of the firepower on the side of the officers and men, Xiao Dazui's boat began to turn, and gradually accelerated, rushing towards the mouth of the bay, trying to cut in front of the official ship, rushing out of the bay, and returning to the wide water, the two sides got closer and closer, and soon narrowed the distance to twenty or thirty meters.
