Chapter 248: A Great Gift to Chu Cai

The fellows immediately became a little confused, and they all looked out to sea, and at that moment suddenly a few more fireballs suddenly rose on the surface of the sea, almost illuminating the surface of the sea, and then they saw a sentry ship begin to fall apart under this continuous flash, and the mast began to topple down.

With the help of a few flashes of light at this moment, the sharp-eyed people on the beach suddenly saw that the shadows of boats seemed to appear faintly on the sea, and the number seemed to be quite a lot, and they were heading towards the shore.

This time, the guys on the shore began to panic, of course, there were some shopkeepers among them, these guys were all human spirits, and immediately understood what was happening, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" The fleet of sea wolves is coming! Hurry up and get on the boat, pull the anchor and set sails! Come on! ”

These old Chu Cai subordinates on the island suddenly completely exploded their nests, and one by one they quickly lost their jobs, rushed to the beach like crazy, and scrambled for the small sampan parked on the seaside, scrambling to grab the sampan, and wanted to rush back to their big boat.

Because it was too chaotic, some people were in a hurry to run towards the beach, people squeezed people, people touched people, and someone actually squeezed the rice pot overturned, and a pot of hot vegetable porridge was poured on the legs and feet of the two guys next to him.

The whole shore was in complete confusion at this time, because some people had already seen that the incoming enemy fleet was not far from the sea, and if they could not pull the anchor and sail away from the sea before that, it would be tantamount to being beaten by someone here, and once their ship was destroyed, they would not want to leave, but could only stay and wait to be slaughtered.

Everyone tried to get back to their own boats as soon as possible, and no one could see anyone in the darkness, and the number of sampans was too limited for everyone to board the boat quickly, so people began to scramble for sampans, some were pushed into the water, and some were simply overturned and detained in the water.

In a hurry, some people couldn't grab the sampan, so they simply didn't care whether the water was cold or not, plunged into the sea, and desperately swam towards their boat.

In the deep water area of the seashore, there were more than 100 boats of all kinds, densely packed together, and small sampans began to shuttle between them, transporting people towards each boat.

When they docked a few days ago, it took a long time just to get off the ship, but now they were back on board much faster than when they came, and some of the ships couldn't even wait for all their men to return to the ship, and with the loss of manpower in the past few days, they themselves couldn't figure out how many people were still alive on board.

Seeing that the manpower was almost enough to move the ship, he began to pull the anchor and lift the sails, trying to leave the anchorage, and sail to the surface of the sea first to prepare to move with the attacking sea wolf fleet.

At this time, some people's hearts were confused, they couldn't figure out how it was possible for the fleet of sea wolves to sail so close to Nanri Island in such a dark night without even hanging a lantern, this is not scientific? How dare they do this, aren't they afraid of hitting a ship at sea?

They also sprinkled a lot of sentinel ships on the sea, and if these sea wolf ships were lit with lanterns, even if they attacked at night, they could have discovered their whereabouts very early, but why did these sentry ships not discover their existence until the sea wolf fleet had sailed so close?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, but I can't figure it out, the fact is here, the fleet of the sea wolves is indeed back, and it is in their almost unprepared situation that they appear not far from them, rushing towards them, all they can do now is to hurry back to the ship, quickly move the boat, sail away from this sea, and only after the whole team can they do it with others.

But the more trouble the overstep, Chu Cailao's fleet docked on the shore, because of the limitation of the water, their ships are crowded together, close to each other, only for small sampans to shuttle between them, although some people move fast, return to their boats, but the people on the surrounding boats have not returned, can not move, make way for them, let them sail out of here, can only stare and scream, but there is no way.

Some ships did not control the sails and course in a panic after they moved, and after starting in a mess, some ships collided with each other as soon as they moved, but fortunately they were not fast, otherwise something would have happened on the spot.

But even so, the ships were entangled with each other, and only a few of them moved quickly, moved first, slowly raised their sails and anchored, and turned around and sailed out to the surface.

The sky began to shine at this time, the dark night was torn apart by this bright light, and the light returned to the sea, and the early morning sun began to rise in the sky, sprinkling the first ray of light on the sea, and under the first rays of sunlight, the waves on the sea were sparkling and beautiful, but no one was in the mood to appreciate this beauty.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, there were shouts of people everywhere, and the whole Houshan Bay was full of people, and the original magnificent fleet was also in chaos at this time, and the ships tried to get out of this chaos, and struggled out of this chaos and sailed to the sea.

At this time, a fleet that was far less large than Chu Cai's old fleet was rushing towards the shore under the first rays of sunlight in the early morning, and they were getting closer and closer to the sea, already within two miles, and had already exchanged fire with a small number of Chu Cailao's ships that were the first to react and sail out of Houshan Bay.

A golden wolf-headed flag fluttered high on each of the sea wolf's boats, and the wolf's head was hideous and terrifying, revealing a kind of ferocity.

The ships that rushed to the front had begun to spew out clouds of gunpowder smoke and fire one after another, and the rumbling sound of cannons began to spread throughout the sea.

Cannonballs flew across the sea, heading towards their targets, some of which landed in the sea, while others hit their targets accurately, digging big holes in the old ships.

Several boats were now full of sails, and at their fastest speed, under the cover of the other ships, rushed towards the group of Chu Cailao's boats, which had not yet dispersed on the seashore, and these boats were markedly different from the others, and the boats were piled with piles of firewood and grass, and they were also poured with oil.

Ordinary warships don't do this when they're in battle, it's like suicide, and if a rocket lands on their ship, the ship immediately turns into a giant torch.

But this is the first meal that Yu Xiaotian and the others prepared for Chu Cailao, these ships were selected by the Sea Wolf Tribes from the old ships to be close to the ships that could be scrapped, anyway, it didn't make much sense for them to continue repairing and maintaining, so they were selected to be used as fire ships.

This is also the reason why the Seawolf fleet would rather be a day late, but also rush to attack Chu Cai's old fleet at dawn, that is, to use these fireships to impact Chu Cai's fleet that has not had time to run away, causing them huge losses.

Several modified fireships rushed quickly towards the Houshan Bay, and several Chu Cailao ships noticed their strangeness and tried to rush up to intercept these fireships in shock.

However, they were soon scattered by the other Seawolf warships escorting the fireships, either driving them away or crippling them altogether, clearing the way for the fireships.

When these fireboats rushed out of the bay, only a few hundred meters away from Chu Cai's old fleet, some of the limited crew members on board shouted loudly, they quickly took out the fire folds or fire sickles, lit torches, raised their arms and threw the torches on the firewood piles on their ships that were filled with fire.

Smoke rose from the boats, and flames erupted.

The sea wolves on the ship held the rudder rig firmly with ropes, so that they could only maintain this course, and slammed straight into Chu Cailao's fleet on the shore, and then began to jump into the icy water one after another, struggling to swim towards the nearby ships covering them.

Each person also carried a few sealed bamboo tubes to use as their lifebuoys, in case they drowned from cramps due to the cool water temperature after diving.

Nearby ships, seeing the fireships on fire, approached and began to rescue their companions from the sea, and then quickly began to steer away from the ships.

Under the frightened gaze of countless Chu Cailao, these fireships borrowed the wind, and the ships continued to rush straight towards their fleet.

Some of Chu Cai's old minions really couldn't wait any longer, regardless of whether the ship was manned at this time or not, so they hurriedly hoisted the sails and anchored like crazy, and began to move the hull of the ship, trying to avoid the impact of these fireships.

The bow of these fireships was full of large iron nails the thickness of small arms, and the bow was like a hedgehog, and if it touched other ships, it could be nailed firmly to other ships at once, so that they could not be shaken off.

In this way, under the attention of countless people, these fireships rolled with blazing flames, and crashed straight into the group of boats moored by Chu Cai's old men on the seaside, and squeezed into the fleet in several positions, and began to burn fiercely.

Billowing smoke rose into the sky and began to spread through the air, and from time to time flames rolled in the black smoke, and the heat could be felt from afar.

At this time, Chu Cailao's subordinates became even more lively, and many ships that had not yet been affected were even more scrambling to act, scrambling to flee towards the outside of the bay.

But there are also some ships that are too close to the fire ship, under the high temperature, the personnel on the ship can not operate the ship for a while, and their beards, eyebrows, and hair are curled up in the face of the hot scorching, and the sails on the ship have begun to dry because of the hot baking, and there is a possibility of fire at any time, so these people can no longer care so much, they all howl and jump into the sea, desperately swimming towards the nearby ships.

At this time, the fleet of the sea wolves had sealed the Houshan Bay, and the ships, under the command of the handsome ships of the horses, began to use various types of artillery on their ships to continuously shell the enemy ships that appeared nearby.

Dozens of Seawolf warships were equipped with six-pounder guns, and some ships were reinforced with twelve-pounder guns, although they could not be equipped with too many Chinese sailing ships, but the number of ships was here, and the whole fleet had nearly a hundred guns of all kinds, and if you added the light furlong cannons equipped on the ships, the number would be even more.

These ships lined up the hulls of the ships facing the ships under the old Chu Cai who rushed out in the back mountain bay, and kept firing cannons, and the cannons rang out one after another, and the whole fleet was filled with clouds of gunsmoke.
