Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Scarlet Sea
"Let the main fleet of the mixed river dragon go, retract the sails and slow down, surround the remaining boats on the right, and beat them to the death for me!" Yu Xiaotian was observing the dynamics of the mixed river dragon's fleet, and ordered as calmly as possible, but even so, his heart was beating very fast at this moment.
After all, this is the first time he has taken so many subordinates to do such a big battle at sea, and he is not very experienced, compared to his subordinates Wang Hong, they still lack a lot of experience in naval warfare, as long as he is a little careless, he may bring so many brothers to the eggplant field, so this makes him very nervous, even if he keeps telling himself to calm down, but his hands are still unconsciously clenched, and the skin of his knuckles has turned white, which shows how nervous his mood is at this moment.
Because his ship is a handsome ship, so after rushing into the fleet of the mixed river dragon, his sea wolf has also become an important object of care for the other party, and many of the ships of the mixed river dragon have stared at his ship, and the cannonballs are flying wildly, so that his ship is shot from time to time, and pieces of wood chips fly.
Moreover, as the commander, he was in the most dangerous place, he could only stand on the open deck of the aft ship, observing and directing the battle without any obstruction, so it is no wonder that in the naval warfare of this era, the commander had the highest mortality rate, and it was impossible for them to hide in the cabin or crouch behind the side of the ship like other ordinary sailors, and find a safe place to cover.
From time to time, arrows fell on the deck of his shipbuilding, and there were also guns that kept flying near him, which made the soldiers who followed him very nervous, Liu Wang took a few soldiers with shields, surrounded Xiaotian's side, trying to cover him with guns and arrows, and after a while, the two soldiers were hit by the arrows shot by the men of Chaojiang Long, and fell to the ground with a miserable scream.
Just when Xiaotian ordered to besiege several boats on the right flank of Chaojianglong, a cannonball flew over, and a personal soldier standing behind Yu Xiaotian didn't even have time to scream, and his upper body was smashed by the cannonball, and some of the limbs above the chest cavity flew out of the distance, fell heavily on the deck, and almost swallowed directly without saying a word.
The flying flesh and blood plus his internal organs flew up in all directions, hanging the surrounding people, Yu Xiaotian was also sprayed with blood, half of the human intestines hung on his shoulders, and the smell of blood rushed into his nose, making Yu Xiaotian immediately a little nauseous.
"Dog! Dogs! The dog is dead! Damn, they killed the dogs! Woo woo...... "One of the soldiers threw himself in front of the mutilated body of the dead soldier, knelt on the ground and cried out.
Yu Xiaotian endured the feeling of nausea, turned his head to take a look, such a tragic scene was almost unbearable to witness, he forced himself to calm down, turned his head, and shouted coldly: "Steady!" Collect the remains of the dogs, don't fucking cry! After a while, I will beat Lao Tzu hard, and if you have strength, you will take the head of the mixed river dragon to avenge the dog! Turn right rudder! Stay arrayed! ……”
“…… Turn the rudder right and keep the array ......" One of the soldiers picked up the copper horn that had fallen from the ground, snorted his throat, and roared at the upper bucket on the mast.
The relative movement of the two sides quickened the speed of their disengagement, and the Mixed River Dragon began to turn on their right with the rest of the main fleet, slowly allowing the Sea Wolf's fleet to pass through them.
However, the sea wolf's fleet also turned to the right at the same time, and gradually surrounded the ships under the several Chaojiang Dragons that had been divided.
At this time, the most brutal broadside battle also began, and several sea wolf boats began to stick to these boats under the lone Chaojiang Dragon, and the two sides immediately fought on the side of the ship.
The sea wolf tribe tried to grab the ship of the mixed river dragon and seize the ship that controlled the other party, while the men of the mixed river dragon resisted desperately, trying to stop the sea wolves from grabbing the ship, the two sides raised swords and guns at the same time, you and I fought desperately on the side of the ship, and every moment someone screamed and fell on the deck, and there was no more appropriate word to describe it as flesh and blood.
Mixed Jianglong looked at the several boats that had been divided out, he was anxious in his eyes, and when he finally adjusted the fleet and turned around again, trying to take the fleet to rescue those boats, he saw another group of enemy ships rushing towards them.
This fleet is obviously not as strong as the fleet that flew the Seawolf flag just now, the ships are of different sizes, and the flags are not uniform, and it can be seen at a glance that they are the colleagues from Fuzhou who came to give the Seawolf a fist.
Moreover, in this fleet, there are mostly small boats, some rocking, some oars, and some acting on one-sided sails, and each small boat is like a puppy, following several large boats, and the momentum is violent, and it collides with the fleet of mixed river dragons again.
The face of the mixed river dragon qi turned white, he was caught off guard by the sea wolf just now, and now even these miscellaneous fish dare to come to find him, he has the heart to hurry up to save those boats, but he can't ignore this group of guys rushing over.
So he immediately threw his anger out on the boats, roaring and ordering to rush up and smash the boats, and kill the guys who had punched the sea wolves.
The two fleets that had just broken away were entangled again after a while, and Liu Yidao led the second wave of fleets and rushed straight to the fleet of Chaojianglong.
Both sides desperately fired cannons and arrows, throwing javelins, fire cans, fire bricks and other objects at each other, and the boats of the mixed river dragon began to ram the small boats that rushed up by virtue of the advantage of their boat strength.
Some of the boats could not withstand their collision at all, and they were smashed to pieces with a click, and in the blink of an eye, they were crushed into the water and became a piece of splinters.
However, there were still some small boats that took advantage of the agility of their ships to avoid the collision of the ships on the side of the mixed river dragon and rushed into their ship formation.
A few small boats stared at a fortune boat that should be the main force under the mixed river dragon, and the dogs braved the arrows shot down by the big boat, desperately leaning up, and the two small boats directly crashed into this fortune boat, and the iron nails with barbed thorns in the bow clicked firmly into the side of this lucky boat.
At this time, the subordinates of the mixed river dragon on this lucky boat felt that something was wrong, and they all saw that these small boats were covered with wet cloths, and there were piles of things piled up on the boats, although they didn't know what they were, they could also roughly guess what they were.
The head of the boat on the ship is not someone else, it is Chen Jiu's younger brother Chen Gan, although Chen Gan's ability is limited, he does not have Chen Jiu's courage, but he is also very experienced in acting at sea, when a few small boats rushed over just now, he already felt that something was wrong, and he had already ordered in advance to concentrate his efforts to prevent these small boats from approaching.
He even had a small boat destroyed with a single shot, but after many ants killed the elephant, the boats eventually rushed to his front.
When he saw the boat nailed to his boat, he immediately understood that something was wrong, and while ordering the rocket to stop firing rockets at the boat, he urgently ordered his men on the boat to concentrate on shooting the people on the boat and not let them ignite it.
Chen Qian's minions on the Fu boat did not dare to slack off, gathered on both sides of the ship, fired bows and arrows in unison, and threw javelins at the small boat, several sailors on the small boat were killed and injured under such a dense counterattack, and some even pounced on it to light the fire, and were nailed to the board of the ship from top to bottom by javelins.
forced the personnel on several small boats, some of whom had to simply jump into the sea to escape, so as to avoid death, but there were still two sea wolf tribes on small boats, braving the rain of arrows pouring down like rain, holding shields to protect their bodies, uncovering the wet cloth covering the boat, shaking the fire, and throwing it on the firewood and grass poured with whale oil.
The two flames were ignited almost instantly, and the fire was fueled by the wind, and the firewood and whale oil on the ship, and the fire burned brightly.
Seeing that the fire broke out, the two sea wolf tribesmen who had completed the ignition task immediately turned around and tried to jump into the sea to escape, but before one of them could jump out of the side of the ship, he was hit in the chest by an arrow that flew in, and with a miserable cry, he fell back to the boat with his back to the sky, and in an instant his whole body was ignited, burning into a fireball, and his screams were heard far away, until he was finally burned into a ball of convulsions.
Only one of them was lucky, and finally threw himself into the sea, and then dived into the water, and swam desperately towards the distance, only to emerge from a long distance, catch his breath, and quickly swim towards his own boat.
After the fire burned, the tongue of fire licked the side of the ship violently, and it didn't take long for the side of the ship to be ignited, and no matter how the people on the boat watered, they couldn't extinguish such a fire.
Seeing this scene, the subordinates of the surrounding Chaojiang Dragon couldn't help but endanger themselves, and they were even more afraid of the small boats that rushed up like dogs, and while desperately blocking these small boats from approaching, they panicked to avoid their collision.
There was a ridiculous scene on the sea, a group of big ships were forced to run by a group of small boats, taking this opportunity Liu Yidao and the six big boats of the one-eyed dragon and others, with these small boats in the mixed river dragon fleet rampage, actually took the opportunity to kill a few small boats brought by the mixed river dragon, and also hit and injured a sea cang boat under the mixed river dragon, and the fleet that the mixed river dragon had managed to gather was washed away again.
Of course, the small boats of the sea wolves also suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the dozen small boats were killed in this moment's work, and there were also twenty or thirty casualties.
However, the results they brought were quite large, in addition to setting fire to Chen Gan's boat, they also successfully burned another bird boat under the Mixed River Dragon.
So even if these dozen or so small boats are all finished, their desperate charge this time is completely worth it, and any random boat they kill will be enough to compensate for their losses.
The most important thing is that they successfully disrupted the attempt of the mixed river dragon under the cover of Liu Yidao and others, so that Yu Xiaotian bought more time to surround the other boats of the mixed river dragon that were separated and beat them all down.
In less than half an hour, the fleet of the mixed river dragon was driven apart by the sea wolves and the gang of thieves, the first few ships were divided out, after some struggle, the two ships were burned on the spot, the pirates on the two ships abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and the ships and people were captured by the sea wolves.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian did not delay any longer, and after he had achieved a complete numerical advantage, he was even more unforgiving, gathered all his subordinates and the ships of his peers, and launched a great pursuit on the sea against the remaining fleet of mixed river dragons.
