Although some of Chu Cailao's ships were lucky enough to rush out of the bay, they collided head-on with the seawolf's fleet and became the target of the seawolf fleet.

On the sea surface around Houshan Bay, it only took a short time to float a number of broken ships that came sideways, and these ships were bombarded by the sea wolf's cannons, some of which were seriously flooded and had begun to sink slowly, and some of which were seriously rolled on their sides and fell directly on the sea.

More of Chu Cai's old ships broke away from the fire in a panic, trying to highlight the bay, and these ships had completely lost their unified dispatch and command, and became a scattered sand fighting on their own.

It can't be said that Chu Cailao's subordinates are all rice buckets and straw bales, after all, these guys are old pirates, and there are some outlaws, and some of the leaders of the ships saw that the battle was unfavorable, but they did not flee immediately, but operated the boat and began to rush towards the fleet of sea wolves, trying to break away from the fleet of sea wolves and engage in melee with them, or lean up to engage them in a broadside battle.

But after all, they are fighting on their own, there is no one to command them, such a surprise does not play much role in the sea wolf fleet with effective command, the sea wolf fleet has an absolute advantage in firepower, the large and small cannons fire together, and these Chu Cailao's subordinates can't get close.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, the sun has jumped high from the sea level at this time, and the Houshan Bay has become a huge fire at this time, dozens of Chu Cailao's ships have left the anchorage because they have not had time to take anchor, and several fireships of the sea wolf have rushed into the fleet anchorage, causing a violent fire.

In this era, ships were made of wood, and although the hull was always in a relatively humid state in the sea, it could not withstand the scorching flames, and the ships near the fire site were baked by the flames for a while, and the high temperature quickly ignited the sails and hulls of their ships, turning them into fireballs.

The more ships on fire, the higher the temperature of the fire, and then there is a chain reaction, more and more ships are gradually ignited one after another because the temperature is too high nearby, at this time there is a wind blowing on the sea, and the fire is causing the fire to be less and larger by the wind, and the spread is getting faster and faster.

Later, many of Chu Cailao's subordinates saw that it was too late to operate the boat to escape, so they simply abandoned the ship and fled, jumping into the sea to escape, desperately swimming to the nearby ships that had moved for help.

And Chu Cailao's subordinates belong to different shopkeepers, although they have always obeyed Chu Cailao's orders, but the individuals still take care of each other, rarely cooperate with each other, at this time the sea wolf's fleet blocked them and beat them wildly, who dared to stop and save people!

Even when they saw someone swimming to their boat, they would not stop the boat to help, at most they would throw a few ropes, and if the people in the water were lucky enough to catch them, they would be dragged onto the boat, and if they couldn't catch them, they would be blessed!

Some of the minions who were diving in the water desperately cried for help, but no one paid attention to them, so they saw that the water temperature was too cold, and it would not take long to soak in the water, they would cramp, and in order to survive, they had to give up asking their companions for help, and turned around and swam towards the shore.

This time it was good, some people had just swam on the water and their boats, but now they swam back to the shore again, and their lips were blue from the cold, and they immediately became the head of the group after they came ashore.

This time the sea wolf fleet suddenly attacked, it can be said that it was completely unexpected by Chu Cai's old subordinates, they unknowingly, how did they not expect that the sea wolf fleet could actually break through the network woven by the sentinel ships they scattered nearby, and unknowingly touched their eyelids, and with the moment of dawn, they began to attack them, so that they did not leave enough time to react and react, so they were blocked on the shore and beaten violently.

And the reason why Chu Cai's old subordinates were beaten so badly was not because they were all rice buckets or cowards, but mainly because they didn't expect it at all, and the shopkeepers here did not form mutual coordination and command when something happened, and they grabbed the ship to go to sea in a panic, and there was no unified scheduling and command at all.

And just after the sea wolf's fleet suddenly launched a surprise attack, the people in the sea wolf fleet became much more happy, this attack can be described as very successful, almost according to their initial drill plan, copied their original plan, did not encounter decent resistance at all, let them beat the enemy here as if they were shooting a live target.

The haze that shrouded everyone's hearts was swept away, and the gunners on each ship were firing their cannons in a frenzied manner after launching an attack, although it was a standard physical work, but no one felt tired at this time, and the work was in full swing, and some people were even sweating profusely and couldn't stand the heat, so they simply took off their clothes and worked bare-chested.

After each cannon was released, the gunners did not stop for anything, and immediately began to frantically clean, charge, and reload...... The last shot returned to the cannon door and began firing again.

Just when the sea wolf suddenly launched a surprise attack on the boat group under Chu Cailao gathered in Houshan Bay, the ships led by Chu Cai Lao himself were also in trouble in the bay north of the sea wolf village.

Just when Chu Cailao tried to lead his men to attack the Seawolf Dazhai from the north, and the two sides had already begun to exchange fire, the sky began to gradually brighten, and suddenly they heard a burst of cannon sound from the side of Houshan Bay as if it was boiling, and when they saw the sky over there constantly flashing like lightning, everyone, including Chu Cailao, was suddenly surprised.

The speed and intensity of this kind of artillery bombardment was something they had never seen before, and they could confirm almost immediately that this was by no means an artillery bombardment that their fleet could organize, and that the attack on the island had not yet begun, and there was no reason to fire indiscriminately, it was certainly not their people who were firing artillery, so there was only one possibility left to make such a dense cannon sound, and that was a sudden attack by the sea wolf's fleet.

Chu Cai's scalp was numb, and he almost fell on the deck on the spot, he knew that he had a big deal today, and he calculated a lot, but in the end he was calculated by this surnamed Yu......

Chapter 250: Grappling

Listening to the rumbling cannons coming from the sea to the west, looking at the flashes of the constantly flickering artillery fire on the sea and the raging fire, Chu Cai Lao only felt that everything was burning.

He knew that he had been completely calculated by the sea wolf this time, this Yu Xiaotian could be said to be extremely insidious, in fact, the surname Yu did not fall for him at all, and on the surface he scattered his fleet, but in fact, this surnamed Yu did not dismiss the fleet at all, but hid it in a place where he did not know the way, and was always preparing to give him a fatal blow from behind.

The courage of this surnamed Yu is also the only one he has seen in his life, he has been doing this business for so long, and he has never met such an opponent, and the opponent's fleet can actually quietly and quietly cross the cordon of the sentry ship he sprinkled on the sea, and touch his back without saying a word.

Moreover, he and his subordinates did not discover their existence until the other party touched their backs, and the other party took advantage of the moment of dawn to start a thunderous blow to them.

This is also the ruthlessness of the sea wolf, the time and method they chose are too cunning, and they don't leave him the slightest time to prepare.

He couldn't figure out how the other party could suddenly kill the fleet in such a night, without hanging lanterns, without running away and running around.

But whether he figured it out or not, the sea wolf's fleet still managed to do this, making their surprise attack seem so sudden, that once he started, he Chu Cai and his subordinates didn't even have time to prepare.

And after he found out that the western fleet was being attacked, he also found a small fleet rushing straight towards his back, and at this time the sky had begun to brighten, and he could already see the other party's ship type dimly.

When he saw the soft sails hanging from the several boats led by him, Chu Cailao himself felt suddenly shocked in his heart, although he had never seen this kind of ghost ship that his subordinates had passed down with his own eyes, but today in the morning light, the first time he saw this kind of boat, he immediately recognized that this was the ghost ship that his subordinates talked about.

When Chu Cailao recognized these ghost ships, he also had to marvel at the beauty of these boats, these ghost ships have smooth lines, simple and capable hulls, without a trace of mud and water, giving people the feeling of being like a sword out of the sheath, when people see it for the first time, they will naturally feel that its speed must be very fast.

And today's ghost boats really showed their fast side, a few ghost boats rode the wind and waves, like a few off-string arrows towards them, it didn't take long to rush to the side of their backs, began to adjust the course, lined up and aimed the side of the ship at Chu Cailao's crowded around the mouth of the bay.

Chu Cailao didn't care to appreciate these beautiful ships at this time, he immediately realized what he should do now, so he quickly ordered to stop the attack, turned the bow of all the ships to highlight the bay, and rushed west to rescue his own ships that had been attacked by sneak attack, and strive to reduce the losses.

At the same time, Chu Cailao also hurriedly ordered his fleet to prepare to fight against these ghost ships of the sea wolves that had rushed over, and strive to use their temporary numerical advantage to kill these ghost ships first.

So Chu Cailao's subordinates, who were already in a panic, hurriedly turned the rudder and adjusted the sails, and sailed the ships out of the bay one after another, facing the ghost ships that rushed over, and the minions on the ship hurriedly began to reload the miscellaneous cannons on their ships, and picked up the bow and crossbow, ignited the rockets, and made a posture to beat these ghost ships.

But how could Luo Xianbin give them a chance to get close, looking at the messy Chu Cailao's fleet, the corners of his mouth habitually showed a trace of confidence and mixed with a mocking smile, and ordered: "Keep a distance of two hundred paces, slow down the boats, bombard these rabbit cubs with shelling, turn around and come back immediately after rushing over, and then beat them hard!" Don't let these bastards get close! ”

His order was quickly passed down in the form of a flag, and the ships that followed him immediately began to understand that the ships were still in a vertical formation, and the speed of the ships slowed down a little by lining up, and the ships turned sideways and aimed one side of the ship at the mouth of the bay and the enemy ships that rushed out in a mess.

Just after the two sides approached the distance of less than 300 paces, as the brig led by Luo Xianbin began to fire the first cannon, the sides of each ship immediately began to spew flames, and in an instant, a series of cannon sounds resounded across the sea in this area.

Although the displacement of these brigs and sloops was not large, the structural advantages of the hull itself were destined to allow them to carry more and heavier guns than ordinary Chinese sailing ships, and even light sloops carried many more guns than ordinary Daifuku ships.

Although there were only five clippers, one side of the ship could concentrate nearly twenty six-pounder guns and twelve pounder cannons to fire at the same time, and these nearly twenty cannons were only a moment's work, and they fired a bunch of cannonballs at the old ships rushing towards them.

These shells were within a distance of 300 paces, and they already had considerable accuracy against targets the size of ships, and the fastest boats under Chu Cai's old men immediately rose up pieces of debris, followed by a burst of exclamations.

Chu Cai's old face was like being kicked a few times at this time, how ugly and ugly it was, seeing that the enemy was not far in front of him, but his subordinates couldn't reach others, and could only be beaten by others, but there was no way, at this time he understood why the subordinates who had encountered these ghost ships had a deep fear of these ghost ships.

These ghost ships are powerful in firepower, and they are loaded with large and small Hongyi cannons, and they can be fired far and accurately, so they can use their guns to wreak havoc on his ships from the distance where they can fight back, without worrying about retaliation.

It's no wonder that a few ghost ships turned his territory upside down in two months, killing so many of his ships and subordinates one after another, and finally set up an ambush, and after paying a huge price, only one boat was left behind.

This kind of ship is really powerful, it's really hard to deal with! Chu Cai Lao sighed in his heart, his eyes were full of envy and resentment, but he was helpless.

Seeing these ghost ships slashing at his subordinates, his own ships could only be beaten, but he was powerless to fight back, Chu Cailao had no choice, but the focus of his attention at this time was not on these ghost ships.

Although these ghost ships are powerful, but after all, there are not many of them, he can already be sure of this, otherwise Yu Haiwolf only needs to have dozens of such ghost ships, which is enough to clean up his fleet, and now only these few ghost ships have come, which means that the number of such ghost ships in their hands is not much.

Therefore, these ghost ships can only play a role in diversion for them, but they cannot completely control the battle situation, and the most important thing for him at the moment is to rush back to Houshan Bay with the fleet first, and relieve the siege of his subordinate fleet, which is being attacked by the main fleet of sea wolves.

Chu Cailao immediately ordered the drums to be beaten, and ordered his ships to ignore these ghost ships for the time being, and after snatching out of the bay, they immediately rushed back to the Houshan Bay where they set off last night, to relieve the siege of the remaining flotilla docked in Houshan Bay.

His subordinates are all old fritters, of course, they understand what is the key at this time, so they continue to rush out of the bay under the shelling of several sea wolf clippers, and outside the bay, without making any stops, they immediately began to turn the rudder and adjust the sails, heading towards the west, and made up their minds to rush back to Houshan Bay first.

And Luo Xianbin didn't entangle with them too much, and after a burst of artillery bombardment with a few clippers under his command, he sailed past Chu Cai's old fleet, but after they sailed through the bay and the opponent's fleet just broke away, they immediately began to turn around and rushed back from the west again.

At this time, more than ten other ships of the sea wolf led by Liu Yidao, who were slower, also caught up at this time and stopped Chu Cailao's fleet, there was not much difference between the two ships, but the fleet of sea wolves had a clear advantage in firepower.

Although some of the light ships were still loaded with ordinary old-style guns, the slightly larger ships were loaded with six-pounder guns, and they still had a great advantage in the firepower of a single ship.

As soon as the two sides didn't talk nonsense, they immediately fought together, and more than a dozen ships of sea wolves immediately bit together with the ships of these trapped beast-like old Chu Cai's men like hungry wolves.

The sea wolf's ship took the lead first, and before the other party could not fire the cannon, it fired a row of cannons at Chu Cailao's fleet, and the cannonballs fell in Chu Cai's old fleet, but this kind of shelling only hurt the skin, and did not completely disrupt the enemy, both sides kept moving in opposite directions, and soon killed each other's close range.

This time, Chu Cai's old subordinates finally got a chance to fight back, and immediately all the ships began to fire indiscriminately, bombarding the sea wolf's ship with the messy cannons on their ships.

All sorts of chaotic cannons hit the sea wolf's ship like rain, crackling the hull and the sails were immediately smashed.

But the men on the Sea Wolf's ship did not show weakness at this time, and the various types of artillery continued to fire in turn, desperately counterattacking, and the hulls of both sides were damaged, but the damage was not great, relatively speaking, the damage of Chu Cailao's ships was more than that of the Sea Wolf ships.

Liu Yidao stood neatly at the stern of a lucky boat, closely observing the situation at sea, his fleet was relatively weak, and Chu Cailao's fleet was at least dozens at this time, he could only delay the other party, but he couldn't defeat the other party, so he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Stick it to Lao Tzu and entangle them!" Can't let them pass! ”

More than a dozen of the ships he brought with him immediately adjusted their course and rushed towards the enemy head-on.
