Chapter 8 Tried and Tested Fire Attack Tactics

The mast of this officer and soldier's warship only heard a click, and it was suddenly broken by the huge kinetic energy carried by the chain bullet, and before even the sail could fall, the mast collapsed on the hull with a bang, and the officers and men on the two ships were killed on the spot.

As soon as the mast broke, the ship was immediately abandoned, and the broken mast, which fell diagonally, pressed against the side and back of their ship, and the sail line on the mast was not broken, but was entangled in the ship, causing the ship to roll sideways, and also affected the sail on the back mast, so that it could not be adjusted, and was stuck in one position.

At this moment, the ship immediately lost its power and direction, and began to spin on the sea, and the officers and men on board shouted in exclamation one by one, but for a time they could not restore the ship's ability to sail, and could only watch the bow of a thief ship cut at them diagonally like a big axe.

I heard another loud click, and the Feizi clipper relied on its sturdy structure, adopted a ramming tactic, and crashed into the left front position of the official ship, and instantly smashed the bow part of the ship to pieces, which was equivalent to completely scrapping the ship.

The other officer warship was not much better, although the chain bullet did not accurately hit their mast, but easily hit their sail, and the two cannonballs dragged an iron chain, and in one fell swoop tore off most of the two sails of the ship, tearing them to pieces, and the ship lost power in an instant.

And then the sea wolf's ship has sailed to a distance of about 100 meters, at this time, with their artillery accuracy, there is no problem in trying to hit the ship, just listen to the sea wolf's clipper ship random cannon fire, and immediately the officers and soldiers of the officer and army hit the pieces around, the officers and soldiers on the ship are even more beaten flesh and blood, although the ship will not sink in a short time, but it has basically lost all resistance ability, can only float on the water like a dead fish.

After dealing with the two official ships, Feng De no longer beat the water dogs, and directly abandoned them and rushed to the dock with the other two clippers.

Liu Yinglong's hair was about to stand up at this time, the thief's fleet came too fast, he didn't have time to release the fleet, and what scared him even more was that most of the cannons on the sea wolf's ship were Hongyi cannons, which fought far and hard, and the firepower was not weaker than the red-haired man at the beginning.

Liu Yinglong knew that he was in big trouble today, if he went on like this, these warships here were finished, and the sea wolf had a very clear goal this time, and he went directly to Nanri Water Village, obviously to kill all the warships they gathered here, so that the Fujian government would no longer be able to attack Nanri Island in a short period of time.

Seeing that the two ships under his hands, as if they were being swatted flies, they were slapped to death by the three strange ships of the sea wolf outside the dock, and the fleet of the sea wolf continued to sail towards them, Liu Yinglong couldn't help but be anxious and angry, and immediately ordered the few that had been moved to follow him to speed up the sail and sail, first resist these thief ships, so that the back ships have a certain time to sail out of the dock, and the province was blocked by the thieves on the dock and ended up.

Liu Yinglong is also a member of the official army and naval division at this time, and he does not lack the courage to fight hard, although the generals of this era are very good at enjoying it in peacetime, but I have to admit that there are a few generals among them, and when the matter comes to an end, they still have the courage to fight to the death.

Liu Yinglong should be regarded as one, today he gritted his teeth and decided to fight, with a few of his subordinate warships that had just moved, sailed away from the dock, and rushed towards the fleet of sea wolves on the sea, putting on a posture of swearing to stop these thief ships.

Seeing these official and military warships that rushed out of the Shuizhai Wharf like hunting dogs, Ma Xiao saw that one of the boats had a pair of Liu character flags, and there were also handsome flags of the officials and soldiers, so he knew that this was the boat of Liu Yinglong, the chief general of the official army here.

"It seems that we should not underestimate this Liu guerrilla! At least he has the courage to intercept us! I, Ma, admire such a person the most, but today I am afraid that I can only face him with swords! Someone came to give the order to go down, concentrate firepower to hit this guerrilla Liu's boat first, disperse them, and seal the official and military warships in the dock to kill them! Ma Xiao put down the binoculars with an admiring look on his face, but he did not relent, and immediately issued a battle order.

As the order flags on the bucket flew up and down, the sea wolf's fleet immediately took action and fiercely pounced on several official and military warships led by Liu Yinglong who rushed out.

At this time, in the direction of Puxi City, the small boat team led by the one-eyed dragon had already begun to move, and a rumbling cannon sound came from the direction of Puxi City.

In the afternoon, the entire area around the mouth of Meizhou Bay in the southern part of Pinghai Bay became completely noisy, and all kinds of artillery sounds came one after another, and the rolling sound was heard far and wide.

About an hour later, billowing smoke rose in the sky in the direction of Nanri Water Village, and on the dock of Nanri Water Village, it was even more blazing, more than 20 sailor warships, crowded on the dock and were ignited by the fire, the wooden hull burned and crackled, and the blazing tongue of fire rolled in the smoke and went straight to the sky, and with the sea breeze was blown in the southeast direction, enveloping a large area of sea and air.

On the sea outside the entire Nanri Water Village, dozens of boats were intertwined, forming a melee situation, but it could be seen that the ships flying the battle flag of the Daming Navy Division were obviously at a disadvantage, and were ridden and beaten by a group of ships with the golden wolf flag.

Although their ships were similar, the sea wolves had the upper hand in terms of firepower, and they kept firing at the sailor warships that fled in all directions.

Although some of the officers and men of the naval division warships also tried to resist, knowing that the cannons were inferior to people, they tried to get close to the sea wolf and fight with them, but they were not superior in numbers, even if they barely rushed close to the sea wolf warship, but then they were swept across the ship with scattered bullets by the cannons of the sea wolf ship, and the officers and soldiers were killed on the deck, and blood was splashed on the sea.

Some of the sea wolf's warships were not afraid of close combat, so they simply took the initiative to get close to the official warships, and when the officers and soldiers began to fire arrows, they first swept the enemy ships with the light cannons on board, and then pasted them, and smashed porcelain bottles filled with fire oil at these official warships, and then a ball of fire immediately rose.

Liu Yinglong led his subordinate ships to withstand the sea wolf's fleet, desperately trying to intercept the sea wolf's fleet, but his efforts did not have much effect.

Because his ship was hung with the flag of the commander and his general, he was immediately locked by the fleet of the sea wolves, and became the main target of attack, and soon after the battle began, his ship was riddled with holes by the sea wolves' group of cannons, and more than half of the more than 70 officers and men on board were killed and wounded, and the hull of the ship began to enter the water.

Liu Yinglong held a stainless steel waist knife, ran back and forth on the ship, shouted a fierce battle, and commanded his soldiers on the ship to fire back, but his efforts were not effective at all, and more and more shells hit his ship, so that his ship could withstand at least dozens of shells in less than a quarter of an hour, and the sails were torn to pieces by the enemy shells.

Until this time, Liu Yinglong sadly found that these sea wolf troops were really not easy to deal with, these pirates had experienced combat experience, were well trained, the shelling was very accurate, and the cannon speed was extremely fast, so that he didn't even have the ability to parry, let alone fight back.

A bloodied soldier rushed to Liu Yinglong's side and cried: "My lord! Withdraw! We can't stop these pirates! If we continue like this, we won't even be able to go to the shore! ”

Liu Yinglong was about to scold this pro-soldier, but this pro-soldier suddenly weakened, and fell at his feet, at this time Liu Yinglong saw a large amount of blood gushing out from the ribs of this pro-soldier, as if he had been hit by a bullet.

So he hurriedly handed the knife to his left hand, looked down to check the pro-soldier, and turned him over, only to find that his eyes began to roll white, only the breath out, but there was no breath in, and it was no longer possible.

And Liu Yinglong himself was injured in many places at this time, fortunately he had armor to defend himself, so he was not seriously injured, Liu Yinglong was full of words, looked around at the already broken ship, and saw that his ship had been hit by the sea wolf's shells was full of holes, and the hull began to tilt, obviously the cabin below must have entered a lot of water, so he raised his head and roared.

After a while, the sea wolf saw Liu Yinglong's boat begin to twist away from the battlefield, sailed to the seaside, rushed into a shoal, and ran aground on the shallow.

There were a few officers and soldiers carrying a person, jumped from the boat into the shallow water, and fled to the shore with swimming, originally there were sea wolf troops who wanted to chase and kill these people, but Ma Xiao ordered them to let them abandon the ship and go ashore, and concentrate on killing the remaining officers and warships.

Many officers and soldiers saw that the sea wolf had approached, and both sides exchanged fire, and they simply did not wait for the people on the boat to arrive, so they hurriedly rocked the oars and rowed again, and tried their best to raise the sails out of the berth and sail to the sea, but as soon as they went out to sea, they were besieged by the sea wolf fleet.

As for the remaining warships that could not move on the dock, the sea wolves naturally would not let them move slowly, and several light sailing ships were killed directly on the dock, and while shelling, they simply pasted on them and threw the fire canisters onto the official warships, causing them to cause a fire on the ship.

At this time, the official ships were already loaded with ammunition, and they were almost ready to go to battle, and the gunpowder on a warship was ignited by a sea wolf, and an explosion suddenly occurred, and the whole ship was torn apart almost instantly, and even a sea wolf's ship was also affected, and before it had time to sail away, it was ignited by the splashing flames.

The unfortunate sea wolf's ship did not have time to put out the fire, so it quickly burned, and as a last resort, more than 30 sea wolf troops on board had to abandon the ship, and after a while, even the gunpowder on their own ship was detonated, and it was also exploded in an instant, and slowly sank into the water of the dock.

However, the sea wolf managed to ignite a fire on the docks, causing the ships to burn to the ground before they could sail out of the docks.
