The Spaniards in this life established the so-called invincible armada at sea, but the naval battle mentality was very different from that of the British who defeated them decades later, and they still stayed in the stage of short- and medium-range fire attacks, and then rammed or jumped into the gang, so they were not equipped with long-range artillery.

And the Spanish galleons that attacked tonight had no intention of directly destroying the enemy ships.

Because there is cargo on board.

The Ming promised them that they would not only kill the Chinese captain who was meddling in Luzon and rescuing the women and children and many men, but also get a share of the ship's goods.

The artillery fire, as the ships got closer, soon ended.

On the Daming Patrol Boat diagonally behind the Spanish sailing ship, Li Guozhu stood beside Cai Feng, the deputy envoy of Fujian Patrol Road, and said flatteringly: "Daotai, the Franky cannonballs are on good accuracy, they have destroyed the small boat and injured the big ship, but they should not hurt the silk and tea in the big boat." This time, Yan Siqi sold spices halfway and bought enough goods from Fujian merchants, even if he divided some Franky people, I could at least give the Taoist platform a small 10,000 taels of silver. ”

Cai Feng snorted lightly in his nose: "What is a good head, I think it is the Frankes who are reluctant to use good cannons, and expect us to go up and get people." If they want to be beautiful, they want revenge and money, so they have to make a solid contribution to their own officials! ”

"Hey, okay, Daotai is right," Li Guozhu hurriedly agreed, "Our boat, rubbing against them, and then flanking the boat with them left and right." ”

Cai Feng still said coldly: "Wait a while, you kid is counting on our brothers from the sea patrol to rush up and kill people." Whether you have internal strife and grudges, or the Franky people retaliate, Yan Siqi and those heads under him, you go and cut them off, and bring them back to the official. ”

"Of course, of course, you can't work the military men who patrol the sea lanes. However, the credit for the suppression of the Japanese must be from the Daotai. ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Cai Feng interrupted Li Guozhu, turned to the helmsman, and commanded, "Will you fucking watch, and drive to the boat, I don't see that the boat is not moving, and there will be a birdman?" Drift over, and after the Frankies hit the big ship a few times, we'll pick up the strings on the other side! ”

"Yes, yes, sir, little stupid."

The helmsman hurriedly complied.

He is also surnamed Cai, and along with several other sailors, they are all fellow villagers and confidants of Daotai.

Now that it is still a year, they will follow Cai Feng out to do private work, but there are no complaints. After all, the court has been in arrears for more than half a year, and if it weren't for Master Cai to raise them as if they were a family, their old wives and children would have starved to death long ago.

It's just that they have never needed to fight at night like they do today, and their eyesight really can't keep up, and they don't have the barrel that the Frankies say is clairvoyant.

"Bang, bang."

In front of the Ming ship, the Spanish sailing ship blocking the way to the boat opened fire again.

The helmsman could tell that this time the monkey was only using a firecracker. It must be because the distance is too close, and if I am afraid that the boat will be sunk, it will be too late to grab the goods.

Almost at the same time, the ship of the sea patrol skirted the huge shadow of the sailing ship, and the bow continued to deviate, ready to flank the ship with the sailing ship.

Helmsman Cai suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly brightened, and dozens of torches and dozens of lanterns on the sailboat and the sealed boat illuminated the deck and side of the ship that had become a battlefield as if it were day.

The helmsman couldn't help but instinctively squint his eyes.

When he opened it again, he froze.

"Dao, Master Daotai, this, this is the ship of the imperial court!"

Other sailors had already shouted out in a panic.

Cai Feng, the deputy envoy of the sea channel, had already retreated with his pawns, preparing to give up the side of the ship and help Li Guo to connect the strings and jump gangs.

But I saw at least twenty or thirty young men on the deck of the sealed boat, some with firearms, some with bows and arrows, and even a long-bodied man with a silver spear in his hand, jumping and running on the rocking and undulating side of the ship.

Who is that not Ma Xianglin?

Cai Fengyuan stared at Ma Xianglin clearly, and also saw the dragon flag standing tall in the air, as well as the words "Weaving Bureau" on the surrounding lanterns.

He was shocked and angry, grabbed Li Guozhu, who was about to throw out the grappling hook, and scolded: "Fuck you, tell Lao Tzu, what's going on?" ”

Li Guozhu was also dumbfounded.

Impossible.

Yan Siqi obviously parked the boat on this desert island in Penghu, changed the sand boat to have a tryst with the unruly woman, and he saw it with his own eyes four or five hours ago, and he also acted with the patrol channel according to the plan, forcing the two people's boat back to Penghu.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to curry favor with the Franky people who couldn't enter the seaside of Fujian, and also wanted to publicize the rumor that Cai Feng had exterminated the Yan king, why would he be so tossed back and forth, and he found an opportunity to stab Yan Siqi, the so-called righteous son who made his father interested in passing on the mantle, wouldn't it be over.

But now, how can there be a large number of people out of thin air?

Weaving Bureau?

Li Guozhu knew that this was the yamen of the imperial court.

No, it's more powerful than the yamen, it's too regulatory.

Why did the Weaving Bureau get involved?

In the firelight, Li Guozhu further saw clearly that the sealed boat in front of him was not the sealed boat that Yan Siqi brought to Nanyang to run goods at all.

Suddenly, Li Guozhu's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the big man who was wielding a Japanese knife and fighting fiercely with a Franke: "Master Cai, that, that's Yan Siqi!" That's right, that's right. ”

"That's right!"

Cai Fengyang looked angry, but he was quickly calculating in his heart, he had a short knife in his sleeve, should he suddenly burst out and stab Li Guozhu.

But there are still eight or nine pirates brought by Li Guozhu on the ship, and his own family members are almost the same number, so it doesn't matter if they can't win the fight, as long as one shouts a few times "Cai Daotai colludes with the Franky people", Ma Xianglin will be able to hear it, besides, how can Ma Xianglin not understand the previous performance of the ship patrolling the sea channel.

Cai Feng had dealt with Ma Xianglin before, this kid didn't look at his age, but he was ruthless and shrewd, and he was really not a native who had never seen the world in the wilderness of the southwest.

It's just that I don't know if the old fox Liu Gonggong is also on the boat.

Or, he simply joined the killing of Li Guozhu and the Francis, anyway, at this moment, there are only these three ships in the vast sea......

Cai Feng's hesitation, the vicious and ruthless Li Guozhu, had already figured it out before him.

It is necessary to force these four-grade officials to kill the people of the Weaving Bureau, otherwise, it is not good that Cai Feng will destroy the alliance before the battle, and in turn kill himself with the brocade guards of the Weaving Bureau.

Li Guozhu did not hesitate any longer, and immediately threw out the grappling hook, and with a clanging sound, the iron hook grabbed the truss of the boat seal on the opposite side.

His men did the same, and then they put their arms together, pressed their feet against the deck, and shouted a trumpet.

The Chinese ship and the Spanish ship did not jump the gang in the same way, and Li Guozhu adopted this Chinese pirate combat method, and soon shortened the distance between the two ships.

The crowd threw the rope again, replaced it with the hook of a slender wooden pole, and reached forward, trying to hook the bottom edge of the mulstle.

"The leader of the Weaving Bureau, Tong Wei, killed Yan Siqi, killed the great eunuch, and killed the spear general! Three heads of 1,000 taels each, and the rest of them 200 taels each! Kill! ”

Li Guozhu shouted with red eyes.

With a "dang" sound, a young man on the sealing boat straightened up, raised his sword, and stubbornly blocked the hook stretched out by Li Guozhu.

"Li Guozhu, you actually sold your eldest brother, Mother Selin!"

Zheng Zhilong's eyes widened angrily, gritted his teeth against the iron hook, and scolded a Hokkien swear word.

At this time, the main battlefield of the boat was on the other side of the ship, and the Spaniards who kept jumping to the gang contained Ma Xianglin, Yan Siqi, as well as their subordinates and the Jinyi guards led by Liu Shimin, and there were only Zheng Zhilong and three or four other sailors on the side of the ship.

After a few breaths, a strong man on Li Guozhu's side had already grabbed the side of the leaking boat, shouted loudly to complete the jump, and rushed over with a knife to slash at the top of Zheng Zhilong's head.

"Uhhhh

However, the man had only taken a few steps before he screamed, his knees bent, and he fell forward, his sword falling on the deck, and his hands covering his thighs.

Zheng Haizhu got out of the cable on the side of the ship, holding a Muramasa knife in both hands, the blade was stained with blood, but it still shone with cold light.

It was given to her by Yan Siqi in the evening.

……

After Fang Cai and Yan Siqi climbed the soft ladder to escape on the sealed boat, Zheng Haizhu briefly told Liu Gonggong and Ma Xianglin that he was Yan Siqi's fellow villagers and privately partnered with him to do business.

Liu Shimin saw that this girl was deliberately showing the intention of protecting her childhood sweetheart, but a thought flashed in her heart, whether to hand over Yan Siqi to Franky, she and Ma Xianglin retreated, and the girl surnamed Zheng couldn't cry, what else could she do.

But the Frankies of the dog day, after the cannon was fired, smashed the stern of the ship, and rushed over, ignoring the flag of the dragon-shaped figure, and continued to shoot at the people on the boat.

also broke two masts, directly beating a Sichuan soldier under Ma Xianglin to a bloody lake, and a piece of intestines flew to Liu Shimin's face.

A brocade guard of the Weaving Bureau was also blown off half of his head and fell to the ground in a very miserable state.

Ma Xianglin, who had already regarded his relatives and pawns as brothers and brothers, suddenly burst into tears, roared angrily, picked up the spear, and was not afraid of the power of the Franky firearms, jumped directly onto the side of the ship, and used the advantage of the spear to block the Franky jumping gang.

Liu Shimin's brocade guards, who were good at operating firearms, also immediately pulled out the iron flash, stuffed it into the sub-guns, and fired a shot at the sailors in Frankie's boat, and the other two with bird guns did not contain the lake, aiming at a shot that had already jumped over.

Yan Siqi saw that the soldiers of the Weaving Bureau had joined the battle with all their might, so he and another brocade guard escorted Zheng Haizhu and Liu Shimin to the small watchtower at the stern.

Half of the staircase had been destroyed by artillery fire, and the pillars supporting the roof were still intact.

"Go up and hide!"

Yan Siqi didn't have time to say more, so he turned around and rushed into the battle formation.

Zheng Haizhu saw that the place on the stairs was no bigger than a palm, so he didn't delay, and asked Liu Shimin to go upstairs, let the brocade guard guard under the pillar, and he got into a large pile of cables a few steps away.

Therefore, there was the knife that came out halfway and cut the legs of Li Guo's assistant.

Once Zheng Haizhu made the first sword, just like when he was in the bandit's den, he didn't tremble.

She, a rookie with no experience in martial arts or swordsmanship, was commanded by the survival instinct of her brain, which made her pounce on the wailing sailor with a broken leg, and poked at his still intact upper body.

The Muramasa knife was too sharp, maybe the second or third knife pierced the big blood vessels near the heart, and the blood rain hit Zheng Haizhu's face like hot water spraying from a shower shower.

Zheng Haizhu swallowed a small mouthful of blood uncontrollably, and the strong fishy smell suddenly made her retch, and she screamed in disgust and jumped away.

Then, the soaring adrenaline caused her to rush to Zheng Zhilong's side, back to back with him, stretching forward the not-so-long Muramasa knife, panting and retching a few times.

"Sister Azhu, don't hold the knife like this, the handle of the knife protects the heart, the blade protects the head, the other party's knife comes, just crack. The other party retracted the knife and was careful that he swept the legs. ”

Zheng Zhilong said loudly, his calm voice was also a comfort.

Judging from Zheng Haizhu's figure stumbling with a knife, Zheng Zhilong could see that she was definitely not a practitioner.

But there is a saying, called "people are ruthless mothers-in-law, and ghosts are dolls".

The young Zheng Zhilong was extremely confident in Sister Azhu's ruthlessness a moment ago, and in the simplest words, he first told her the key points of self-defense and counter-killing.

At this time, several of Li Guozhu's minions had already landed on the deck of the sealed boat, but they left Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Haizhu first, and went straight to Yan Siqi and Ma Xianglin.

After all, the two heads of the half-sized boy and the little lady are worth four hundred taels of silver.

stabbed any of Yan Da Boss or the spear general, but it was a thousand taels of silver!

Li Guozhu did not blame the brothers for being greedy for money.

It is the money-greedy man who will help him do what he is today. As for the stinky boy on the other side and his own hard bar, how could he not clean him up.

Li Guozhu suddenly turned his wrist, his toes pressed against the ship's guard, and the hook was pulled back.

Zheng Zhilong felt the sudden pressure on the knife, thinking that Li Guozhu was going to press the iron hook forward, and Zhengye Dantian was going to give strength to his arm in one breath, so he might as well play tricks on his opponent, and he threw himself forward, his center of gravity was unstable and he stumbled, and Zheng Haizhu behind him was also crooked on the deck.

Before the two of them could get up, Li Guozhu laughed fiercely, threw away the useless hook, picked up the sword that was more suitable for close combat, rushed onto the side of the ship, took a big stride, and jumped onto the deck of the sealed boat.

"Little brute, little slut!"

Li Guozhu was about to slash with a knife, but was blocked by a brocade guard who was killed by a diagonal stab, and the two fought together.

Suddenly, there was a bang from the side watchtower, and the round platform was directly blown into powder.

Zheng Haizhu was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that a small Frankie cannon was emitting smoke from the ship of the sea patrol.

Cai Feng, deputy envoy of Fujian Patrol Road, raised his head slightly and looked at the watchtower filled with gunsmoke.

He just shrank behind a few sailors surnamed Cai, staring around looking for Liu Shimin's figure.

Finally, I saw a man wearing a crown on the round platform.

Remembering that a few days ago, Liu Shimin didn't say a word to himself, but he got the first batch of Dutch people in, and made a big deal with them, Cai Feng had already realized that if he couldn't get the exclusive territory of the Spaniards in the secret of Yuegang, something would happen sooner or later.

Just tonight, take advantage of the chaos to get rid of this dead eunuch.

Cai Feng gritted his teeth and made a decision.

However, after firing a shot, he was about to order his sailors to jump into battle when a sharp arrow whizzed.

It is right in Cai Feng's heart.
