Chapter 234: Pirates (1)

The Taishan Fortune Ship sailed the sea against the wind and waves, followed by four other small Fortune Ships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info There are only 42 of the 54 Napoleonic guns originally placed on the Tarzan, and in addition to the Dayuan Island base and the port of Long Island, the four Fu ships are also equipped with two each, and they suddenly have the ability to protect themselves.

Yang Guang and Wang Ying were standing side by side at the bow of the ship chatting, but suddenly heard the news from the lookout on the mast that there were ships fighting ahead. Ye Zongman, who was at the helm, immediately gave an order, and the entire Taishan Fortune Ship immediately took action, from the original leisurely to the preoccupied combat state.

The gun's jacket at the bow was removed by the sailors, the gunpowder and shells bundled together were loaded, and the other sailors who were not responsible for handling the guns checked their guns to make sure they were ready to fire.

The new family brought by Yang Guang from Yangzhou was not idle, they were not skilled enough in firearms or anything, and they took on more sailor work on the ship, and everyone was busy in high spirits.

The battle at sea was unfamiliar to Yang Guang, as he and Wang Ying retreated to the top of the cabin to avoid disturbing the gunners operating the guns in the bow. Wang Ying did not have any fearful expression, but held the telescope with excitement on her face to observe, and when the Taishan approached the battle area, she clearly saw the situation in the battle.

Two slender ships blocked a Daifuku ship of more than 2,000 materials one after the other, and this kind of Fuku ship loaded with cargo was certainly not as fast as a special sea ship built for plundering, and in the case of unable to speed up the escape, the owner had to organize men to resist on both sides of the deck.

"It's a pirate!" After Wang Ying saw this scene, she said to Yang Guang. Even if he just stood from a distance and watched, Wang Ying could see at a glance that the strength of the two sides was no longer on the same level at all.

The sailors on the Daifuku ship all looked nervous, many of them still had panicked and frightened expressions on their faces, and most of the sailors were only holding wooden sticks and other weapons that they picked up casually, and only those who looked like guards had real swords, and a few of them were holding bows, arrows and firearms.

On the other hand, the pirates on the two ships, all fierce and fierce, all covered with short knives, after forcing the Daifuku ship to stop, immediately leaned up and threw their grappling hooks towards the side of the Daifuku ship, and pulled the rope closer to climb up.

The sailors on the Daifuku ship tried their best to prevent the pirates from climbing up, they knew very well that this kind of pirates who directly killed people and crossed goods would not leave them alive, and if they couldn't win this battle, they were afraid that everyone would have to die without a place to bury.

In the fierce fighting, screams rang out one after another, and from time to time corpses fell into the sea, splashing waves. Although the guards on the ship had worked hard to fight, their numbers were too small for the other sailors to hold on with courage, and it was impossible for them to hold on for long in the hands of the pirates who had been on board for many years.

The guards with firearms killed a sailor, but as he stepped back to reload, he was stabbed in the throat by a pirate on board the ship, clutching his neck.

The two guards who were good at bows and arrows kept firing, and they could barely maintain the safety of a small section of the deck, but they were completely unable to prevent the pirates from breaking through the defense line from other places and standing on the deck of the fortune ship.

Seeing their companions rushing onto the lucky ship, the other pirates cheered in unison, fighting more fiercely, and the injuries or deaths of their companions around them could not affect their combat consciousness at all, but made the pirates more cruel when they attacked.

Under the fierce attack of the pirates, the sailors of the lucky ship finally could not hold it out, and the entire defense line relying on the side of the ship was torn apart and quickly collapsed, and more pirates climbed onto the lucky ship, turning the battle into a one-sided slaughter.

A few guards escorted a man dressed in brocade as they fought and retreated, barely relying on the cabin to resist the swarming pirates, but they were limited in manpower and had no way to escape in the vast sea, and it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

"Boom!" Just as the pirates were in a hurry, a cannon shot was heard in the distance, and the cannonball fell on the surface of the water not far away, causing a large splash.

The pirate leader's face changed slightly after seeing this scene, he had already seen Yang Guang's fleet, but he was dealing with the prey here and didn't have time to deal with it, if Yang Guang and they took the opportunity to leave, forget it, if they still stayed nearby, the pirate leader didn't mind waiting to solve this side, and then go over there to continue to kill.

It's just that the pirate leader never expected that in his eyes, the fleet of just a few sheep was equipped with artillery that could hit such a distance, and at this time his sea ship and the lucky ship were close together, and if he wanted to escape, he needed to gather all the men back, and then manipulate the oars to turn and accelerate, and he was afraid that others would sink him long ago.

Besides, since Wang Zhi's death, the pirate leader took refuge in the new master, and with the backer, he ran rampant in this sea area, only others were afraid of him and let him avoid him, when it was the turn of the pirate leader to flee in disgrace, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Oh, I am the Dragon King of the Three Seas, Xu Da is in charge......

Before he could finish his sentence, the small ship opened fire again, this time closer to the pirate leader's ship, and the splash of the waves that fell into the sea even fell on the pirate leader's body, causing his shouting to stop abruptly.

Joining the war group were only two small fortune ships, and the Taishan, as the flagship, naturally disdained to bully that group of pirates. But after Wang Ying, who was on the Taishan, heard the other party's shouting, she couldn't help but sneer and said: "Since Daddy died, all cats and dogs have jumped out of this sea." This kind of goods didn't even deserve to carry shoes for the shipowner below Daddy back then, but now he just follows Xu Weixue and dares to report the number in front of me! ā€

"yes!" Ye Zongman's voice also came from the side, and then his figure appeared in Yang Guang's field of vision: "What a big boss was at the beginning, he just claimed to be the owner of the Wufeng ship, and he didn't let his real name be known to outsiders. Now this Xu Weixue actually calls himself the Dragon King, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue! ā€

"Dragon King of the Three Seas?" Yang Guang repeated the name and couldn't help but shake his head. There is the ability to cross the seven seas, as long as there is a sea there is its own ship and flag, with the dragon king as the name is well deserved. Now it's just taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea and the split of Wang Zhi's forces, occupying some of the sea and bullying merchant ships, and shouting this kind of nickname can only make people feel funny.

As he spoke, the cannon rang out again, but this time it was a shotgun, and the pirates who tried to get close to prepare for a white-knuckle battle immediately burst into a cloud of blood mist, and let out an earth-shattering scream and fell into the sea. (To be continued.) )
