0410 Together, all doomed
Liu Yi said loudly, "Uncle Guangting, just now I have sent two boats out, one to report to the settlement, let them be on guard, and then let them send a message to the Quanzhou Navy Master to ask for protection, so there will be no problem in the settlement!" The other ship is a messenger to the owner! When the proprietor receives the letter, he will definitely reinforce the settlement!"
Liu Guangting's expression eased a lot when he heard this, but he still said loudly, "Far water can't quench your thirst! If you return to the settlement, you will be sure of it!"
Liu Yi smiled and said loudly, "Uncle Guangting, let's go to the sea together, we want to live together, we want to die together, how can there be so many sayings!"
As soon as the two of them said these few words, the horn sounded outside, and the pirates had attacked again! After all, it's already very close to dark, and the sun has begun to approach the sea horizon, and it is easy for accidents to occur if it drags on for too long! And this time, the pirates also put all their pressure on the formation at the beginning, and it seems that they are ready to finish the battle!
As ordered, a group of two or three complete ships gathered together and covered each other with cannons and firearms, inflicting a lot of casualties on the pirates. Unfortunately, they are too few to withstand the outlaw pirates! So soon a ship is caught by the claws, and then the pirates will come over and board the ship!
And as soon as one ship is boarded by pirates, the pirates will send more ships to attack, and the two sides will be a real head-to-head battle! But fortunately, Liu Guangting was equipped with a lot of short guns on each ship, relying on these short guns to take advantage of a lot in the melee and cause a lot of damage to the pirates!
But this is not a long-term solution after all! After a few rounds of charges, several groups were already entangled by the pirates and completely separated from the formation! Liu Guangting sent reinforcements several times, but he couldn't pull them back!
As soon as Liu Yang and his people withdrew, there was an earth-shattering explosion on the sea ship in the distance! Everyone looked up and saw that after a flash of fire, the gunpowder smoke formed a mushroom cloud and rose up! A ship has been shattered by an explosion from the inside out!
The ships of its companions on the left were hit hard in the moment of the explosion! As for the three pirate ships besieging him, almost all of them were lifted open, and the pirates who boarded the ship were killed and wounded! Even the pirates who are still waiting to board their own ships have suffered heavy losses and have no strength to fight! It seems that the soldiers on this ship lit the powder keg after running out of ammunition and perished with the pirates!
Seeing the mushroom cloud rising up, Liu Guangting's eyes were red! He knew that meant that at least two ships had already been killed or wounded! It's a huge loss, but he knows better that morale can be boosted but not discharged! So he exclaimed, "Good! Good! My brothers are all good men! If I do not die today, I will avenge this."
The others around him also shouted in grief and indignation, "Revenge! Revenge!"
Taking this opportunity, Liu Guangting organized a surprise attack and snatched back the three ships closest to them! But more than half of the sailors on these three ships have been killed or wounded!
No sooner had they returned to the flotilla than two explosions rang out in succession from other directions! It must have been the soldiers on two more ships, seeing that there was no hope of escape, and ignited the powder kegs at the encouragement of their companions!
After two explosions in a row, the pirates found in horror that the sailors on the opposite side seemed to be crazy! Once it's time to defeat the enemy, they will light the gunpowder and blow up the ship, and take them on the road! This made the attacking pirates frightened, and they did not dare to attack with all their strength, and the offensive actually slowed down for a while!
At this moment, the sun had exhausted its last rays of light and completely submerged below sea level. The sea suddenly became dark. And Li Dazui, in order to prevent them from breaking through, lit the lampball torches early to illuminate this sea area!
Liu Guangting saw the other party's posture because he didn't want to let them go, so he had to take this opportunity to reorganize the team and prepare to find another opportunity to break through, so there was a strange calm on the battlefield for a while.
Now Liu Guangting can still control less than half of the ships, but fortunately, the remaining ships are tall and sturdy ships, and they are properly maintained and have the ability to fight. The ships with the heavier losses in the remaining ships were arranged on the periphery. There was a special person on the ship to light the gunpowder once the other party seized the ship. In this case
The exhausted two sides finally reached a stalemate.
However, the pirates did not stop for long, and they soon organized the next round of siege. However, this time they were frightened by the opponent's self-detonation, so this attack seemed a little unfazed, but it was particularly solid.
The pirates first entangled the opponent's defense with a small number of men, and then bombarded them with artillery and firearms from a distance, killing as many people as possible. When the opponent's manpower is almost depleted, use the Elite Raid Cabin to prevent the opponent from blowing himself up.
Although this type of combat takes a long time, it is relatively safe. After all, people have the instinct to survive, and no one wants to die until the last resort, which gives them the possibility of a successful raid. Quite a few sailors in the cabin were raided by them and did not light the powder keg!
The battle lasted for more than two hours, during which several ships successfully blew themselves up, but most of the ships were lost, a small number were taken, and most of the ships were abandoned by Liu Guangting because the sailors lost too much.
At this time, Liu Guangting gathered Liu Ming and the others together, and said with a long sigh: "This time, I was proud and careless, and I brought you into a dead end, and I have the heavy trust of the second young master!" So after a while, you must find a way to escape, explain the matter to the Second Young Master clearly, and let him avenge us!"
Liu Ming said loudly, "Uncle Guangting, don't say so much! If we want to be born, we will be born together, and if we want to die, we will die together!"
Liu Yi also said loudly, "Yes! Killing one is enough, killing two and we'll earn one! I think I'll be able to kill a hundred of them before I die!"
Liu Guangting said seriously: "Our life and death are small, but the matter of delaying the second young master is big! In fact, the second young master has high hopes for us, but I was careless for a while, and I don't know how much time it will be delayed! So you have to rush out anyway!"
As soon as everyone spoke, Liu Guangting raised his hand to stop him and said, "Now that I'm still alive, you all have to listen to my arrangement!" Otherwise, I won't be able to turn a blind eye!"
When everyone heard the words, all the words in their hearts turned into a sigh, and they all lowered their heads involuntarily. Then Liu Guangting took a moment of breath and said, "After lighting the prepared boat for a while, use the fire boat to open the way, and then the others will follow, and I will break behind!" Remember, rush to the west! As long as you rush out, no one cares, even if someone is surrounded, don't look back! Wash all the way to the shoreline, then head south along the coastline back to keep the settlement!"
