Southwest Luzon Sea.

On the horizon, four or five warships broke through the waves, gradually enlarging their figures, and Liu Er, who was at the bow of the ship, carefully watched with a monocular and saw a striking black-bottom skull flag hanging on the opponent's fleet.

Liu Er frowned, handed the monocular to Zhang Youde on the side, Zhang Youde glanced at the mirror a few times, looked solemn, and said, "Commander Liu, which way are these boats from?" ”

Liu Er waved his hand to summon the herald and ordered him: "Pass my order, withdraw the right sail and lower the speed, the gunner reloads the gunpowder, all the crossbowmen and knife men gather on the deck, inform the ships to prepare for battle, watch the flag of the main ship, and the Mingyuan will take the lead." ”

"Subordinates obey." The heralds were all selected from those with loud voices, and when Liu Er finished giving orders, the heralds shouted loudly. Then the flag-bearer gave orders to the ships, and the trumpeter sounded the horn.

Liu Er turned around and answered Zhang Youde's question, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "The other party has five large warships, look at the flag should be the pirates near Luzon, only the pirates of Luzon will learn from the Francois pirates to use skeletons as flags, the biggest pirate near the Luzon Sea is the Water Harrier, and he can only mobilize so many ships to come out, it seems that you and I have a fierce battle to fight today." ”

Zhang Youde listened carefully to Liu Er's analysis and nodded again and again, and in the end, he couldn't help but wonder, and said, "How can they be our opponents with only five big ships?" Isn't this a death-by-death? ”

Liu Er squinted his eyes and said: "Not really, if you use the diorama to take a look, the other party's ship is not loaded with artillery, and the hull is light, I'm afraid even the ballast stone has been thrown away." I'm afraid that the Water Harrier wants to use the advantage of speed to crash into our battleship and then climb up to fight with us in close combat, Commander Zhang, the brethren of the sailor is much worse than the Shen Yong Battalion, and whether this battle can be won or not is completely up to you. ”

Zhang Youde was greatly encouraged, took out the long knife on his waist and slashed it into the air a few times, and grinned: "The brothers have been suffocated by staying on the ship all day, and these dead thieves have come just in time to practice the knives for the brothers." ”

Liu Er guessed right, what the water harrier relied on was to use melee combat to eliminate this gang of water thieves. The water harrier was originally a powerful man in Luzon, but after being suppressed by the Spanish colonial authorities, he scattered all his wealth and set sail to wander the Luzon Sea for a full eleven years, and finally stood out from the crowd of water pirates and became a big thief in the Luzon Sea.

Originally, the days of hijacking some merchant ships every month were also chic, but who knew that in the past few months, a more powerful and vicious pirate has emerged, and they hijacked merchant ships, and killed them together with the ship's owner and sailors. This is a taboo for pirates, you must know that the pirates rely on these maritime merchants to pass over the sea and kill people indiscriminately. Not only are you new pirates without food, but we local pirates who have been entrenched for decades have nothing to eat.

The most taboo thing in running the rivers and lakes is to rob people's jobs, you fucking robbed Lao Tzu's jobs, and even smashed the rice bowl after eating and drinking, isn't this a goddamn life.

So, the water harrier is coming, come prepared.

Five clippers, plus nearly a thousand thieves, this is the limit of what the Water Harrier can mobilize, he lurked in the water village for two whole months, has been watching the movements of this new pirate, finally, he found a way to deal with it.

The reason why the new pirates were able to run amok was probably because they had ships with powerful guns and fast speeds, which allowed them to catch up with merchant ships and walk away with ease. The Water Harrier unloaded all the debris on his ship, even the artillery, just to increase the speed of the ship.

Since the artillery is not as sharp as the opponent, then it depends on whose knife is ruthless. The water harrier has reached middle age, and the knife with his cape is scattered and stands on the deck and shouts to his subordinates, raising his eyes from time to time to stare viciously at the black spots that are getting closer and closer in the distance.

More than 250 water thieves on the main ship have been assembled, and they are all the most handy ghost head knives in their hands, and their bodies are wrapped with hooks, these are all old people who have followed the water harrier for more than ten years, and they have also followed the water harrier across the Luzon sea area for more than ten years, and the water harrier decided to take them as the main force of the first attack.

"Lao Tzu has taken you to the sea for more than ten years, you ask from your heart, has Lao Tzu ever treated you badly?" The water harrier scanned everyone's cheeks, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the deck, and roared loudly.

"Nope." The thieves raised their ghost-headed knives and roared in response.

"Good!" The water harrier's eyes lit up, and he stomped his foot suddenly, causing a strong collision sound, which showed that his foot strength was not weak.

"The mongrel on the other side wants to rob me of the water harrier's job, do you agree?"

"No!" Someone answered.

"Fuck it, the brothers fought with them."

"Big brother has no job, and the brothers are going to drink the northwest wind, big brother, you speak, and the brothers don't frown."

A smile appeared on the face of the water harrier: "Good! This is a good brother, after the two ships are staggered, Lao Tzu will take the lead, and whoever doesn't keep up is a bad seed. ”

On the other side, Liu Er, who was aware of the water harrier's intentions, had steadily ordered the fleet to spin in the sea, and aimed at the bow of the opponent with the side of the ship, which was an extremely risky action, if the opponent's ship was stopped and collided, the hull could not withstand such a violent impact, and it was very likely to sink, and the most advantageous way to use the slender bow to break through the other party when the two ships collided, but Liu Er decided to bombard the opponent's ship with the artillery on the side of the ship and then turn the bow, in order to achieve a greater advantage in close combat.

On the deck, the one hundred soldiers of the Shenyong Battalion and the thirty crossbowmen of the Shenji Battalion of the main ship were assembled, and they formed a neat square formation, standing still under Zhang Youde's gaze. The rest of the sailors on board also took up their weapons, they were sailors when they sailed, and they became battle-hardened soldiers when they were about to fight, these people were all bandits from various water villages in southern Burma in the past, and after being recruited, they were pulled into the valley for training, although their melee combat ability could not be compared with the Shenyong battalion, but they were by no means worse than ordinary soldiers and water pirates.

"Boom...... Boom......" Dozens of guns fired in unison, whistling and throwing at the warship that was getting closer and closer on the opposite side, a sea ship was hit by a cannonball made of chain balls, the hull of the ship vibrated violently, and a hole was broken in the deck, but it was not seriously damaged, and still used the power of the sail to break the waves quickly.

After a few rounds of artillery, finally a roaring ship hit the mast, the speed couldn't help but pause, several thieves on the deck were planted down the mast and let out a shocking scream, the mast was destroyed, but the left and right wings were still full of wind drums, the hull lost its balance for a while, turned a few times on the spot, and began to tilt to the right just to hit another warship coming from behind, the two sea ships crashed together, and for a time the sea was full of scattered sawdust planks.

Although the ships were frustrated, the thieves on board did not suffer much, and only temporarily slowed down the speed of the two ships. At this time, the other three sea ships had rushed to the front, and the distance between them and the Western warships was only about 300 zhang.

"Despicable!" Liu Er scolded, he originally thought that his seven warships had a total of 2,000 people in the three battalions of Sailor, Shenyong, and Shenji, and the other party would not exceed 1,000 people at most, and he would not take any advantage in close combat, but who knew that these five warships were all coming at his main ship, so that the other warships could not be rescued, that is, the six or seven hundred people on the main ship could cope with the thousands of people on the other side, but fortunately, two enemy ships were blocked by artillery, and they would not be able to attack for a while and a half.

"Turn the rudder and meet the enemy head-on." Liu Er shouted loudly, and said to the herald behind him: "Let the flag bearer give orders to the other warships, leave the main ship alone, and shoot the two damaged enemy ships into the sea to feed the fish." ”

The huge Western warship twisted its body with difficulty in a burst of sailors' shouts, and finally aimed its bow at the three swarming warships......
