Unlike the Dutch, the tactics of the Liaodong Navy were layered.

When it comes to striking the opponent, use different weapons at different distances. It also emphasizes the use of different tactics for different ship types.

To detect the enemy, first of all, to shell it with artillery. And adopt the tactics of sea rangers, and fight at a distance. Or lower the sails, maintain a certain stability at sea, and bombard the enemy fleet with the tactic of "swarm artillery".

When the enemy is approaching and is about to reach the range of the flintlock pistol, attack with the flintlock pistol.

Closer to the enemy's ship's deck is set on fire with oil and canisters, while firing spray canisters (a bamboo flame launcher) and rockets to ignite the enemy's sails.

Finally, the soldier will fight with the broadside.

On the whole, artillery bombardment is the mainstay, supplemented by boarding and fire attack.

When encountering a "wild road", you will change the way of play, using fire attack ships to attack the enemy, or iron cable boats, to deal with the enemy's fire ships.

There is also one of the biggest differences, the sailors and sailors of the Liaodong Navy are separated.

That is, when fighting at sea, the sailors are only responsible for the battle, and the mastery of the ships depends on the operation of the sailors.

When to collect the sails, when to raise them, how much to collect them, and how to collect them are all the responsibility of the first mate in charge of the sailors, which is communicated to the commander of the ship.

There is a second deputy in command of operations, who is responsible for commanding the battle.

The third officer is responsible for intelligence gathering, and the fourth officer is responsible for maintaining contact with friendly ships.

The captain, with the assistance of the third and fourth officers, clarified the battlefield situation and the coordination with the neighboring fleets.

Although this has led to a decrease in the number of combat personnel, it has also brought about a substantial increase in combat effectiveness.

What's more, by shelling, shooting, and burning the "three-plate axe", there are very few ships that can successfully get close.

The Dutchman was overwhelmed by this combination of punches.

They have begun to flee south.

But in the era of sail battleships, the speed was relatively slow.

The Liaodong Navy had quickly occupied the north, west, and east sides, and bombarded the Dutch ships in the middle.

Why not occupy the south side?

There are fireboats on the south side, and there is a small headwind, so let's take it easy.

Under the shelling of this scale, the men on every enemy ship lived like a year.

Including Li Kuiqi.

"Dog's day, in vain Lao Tzu is smart, he was confused for a while, and he didn't leave in time."

Li Kuiqi looked at the sea full of water columns, and scolded himself fiercely.

"It's not time for the boss to say this, run away!"

Yang Qi pointed to the boat.

Not long ago, an iron bullet with no eyes smashed into the deck, smashing a large hole in the bow of the ship.

It's time to abandon ship.

"Let's go, let's go." Li Kuiqi rushed to the boat.

"Don't abandon us, boss."

The brothers begged one after another, but they could not impress Li Kuiqi.

Whoever dares to approach the life-saving boat has only one word - death!

After cutting down a few unknown guys, under the command of Li Kuiqi, the boat rowed by Yang Liu and Yang Qi left the sinking ship and sailed to the south.

Li Kuiqi had already observed that Yang Chengying intended to leave him a way back, and the battleships did not encircle the south, but only blocked the south side of the Dutch fleet with shells.

He only needs to bypass the burning ships to escape.

The other pirates also noticed this and paddled desperately south.

In comparison, the Dutch were much more miserable.

The retreat is like breaking through a pass, the first level is the dense artillery shells of the Liaodong Navy, and the second level is the erratic fireship.

The third level is the vast sea.

How to survive at sea will be the biggest test for them.

Brauvaud did not care about this, and commanded the fleet to retreat south.

Despite the fact that the ships were sunk one by one, they had to flee south.

He didn't expect that Yang Chengying would think about it for him intimately.

To the south, dozens of big bird boats are already on their way here.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Dutch, Shi Daxuan did not set sail immediately. Instead, it was estimated that the time would wait for the Dutch to go far away, and then follow with the big bird boats.

The big bird boats were specially used against small groups of enemies, and they had artillery on board, more fishing nets to catch people, and cold weapons to kill people.

Shi Lang was among them, and it was the first time in his life that he participated in a fight.

Soon they saw pirates fleeing south.

"Bow cannons, sink enemy ships."

Shi Daxuan immediately ordered.

The boat has the tactics of a small boat, with a heavy gun in the bow and stern, and a large iron nail in the bow.

When encountering the enemy, first seize the upper hand with the heavy artillery in the bow of the ship; Then row the boat from west to east, shoot the crew with small cannons such as the Franc cannon and the Baizi cannon on the port side, and then fire the stern gun. Then a turn, with the starboard Franc cannon, the hundred guns and other small cannons to shoot at the ship's personnel, and then bombarded with heavy artillery.

In the final melee battle, the soldiers will gather at the bow of the ship, wait for the bow nails to nail the enemy ship, and then jump into the gang to fight.

The reason for this is that the quality of the enemy ships they deal with is very poor. And due to the bearing condition of its own hull, it cannot be equipped with more good guns.

Seeing these guys, Li Kuiqi immediately realized that he had to raise the white flag quickly.

Just as I was rummaging, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.

A dagger stabbed him in the back.

"You...... You ......" Li Kuiqi turned around and looked at Yang Liu and Yang Qi in disbelief.

"Li Kuiqi, don't blame the brothers for being vicious."

Yang Liu sneered and said: "As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that you and I are just brothers who worship the son." ”

Yang Qi exerted his strength again, and Li Kuiqi lay on the boat.

Yang Liu was afraid that he was cheating to death, so he kicked a few more times and found that he was really dead.

Only then did the brothers search Li Kuiqi's body and take out the cyan flag that Yang Chengying gave to Li Kuiqi.

Li Kuiqi hadn't taken it out before, just to leave a step back for himself.

Just save your life at a critical moment.

Yang Liu and Yang Qi knew about this for a long time, so they had a different heart for Li Kuiqi.

They took out their flags, and before they could shake them, two gunshots rang out from behind.

Before the two brothers could enjoy their blessings, they fell under the gun.

The people who shot were Zhong Bin and Ma Er.

They had long been eyeing Li Kuiqi and his group, but Li Kuiqi didn't notice them because he was panicked.

"Humph! These two traitors, cheap them. ”

Zhong Bin put down the musket in his hand.

Ma Er, who was on the side, said: "Boss, if we take refuge in Yang Chengying like this, will he take us in?" ”

"Absolutely. Apart from us, who can continue to help him run the business in Nanyang, don't forget that I am from Fujian and Zhejiang. ”

Zhong Bin refers to regional issues, and it is theoretically much more reliable to do business with oneself than to do business with outsiders.

This is a universal rule.

"What about later? In case we also become Liu Xiang's second, will we be eliminated by Yang Chengying. ”

Ma Er was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart that I will never make the same mistake as Liu Xiang......"

Bang!

A bullet hit Zhong Bin's back accurately, and a terrifying tingling sensation ran from his bones all the way to his brain.

"You ......" Zhong Bin turned around, he couldn't believe it.

Ma Er, who was stunned, how could he suddenly do something to him!

"Boss, I'll tell you a secret. You have always suspected that someone leaked the news, and the person who leaked the news was actually not Li Kuiqi, but me. ”

Ma Er stabbed Zhong Bin in the abdomen and whispered, "There is one more thing to tell you, I don't call Ma Er." The real Ma Er died a few years ago, and my real name is - Chen Bao! ”
