0412 Hunt
With the help of the visitors, they nailed the powder keg in the cabin, then poured the oil on the ship's building and ignited it, and finally raised the sails, fixed the ship, and jumped into the sea to escape!
The dozen or so flaming ships rushed towards the pirates on all sides, scaring the pirates to death and exposing them all to the flames, attracting even more intense artillery attacks!
During this time, Liu Guangting had already led people to rush into the pirates! So rounds of artillery are fired densely and accurately! The sails of many pirate ships were so sparsely beaten by the dense gunfire that they couldn't keep up their speed! And then they did what the pirates on the other side had been doing!
They threw their claws to hold each other's ships to prevent them from breaking free, and they didn't rush to the other party's ships to fight, but just suppressed each other with firepower and didn't let them untie their claws! Wait until there is no one on the deck before boarding the ship and fighting! The ships behind them went past them to hunt down the other pirates, and the fight was unusually smooth!
By this time, the pirates were already in chaos! They fought on their own without receiving command, and they all fled in different directions! Quite a few ships even crashed together! Even if they don't bump into each other, they are like headless flies circling around in the sea!
Some pirates shouted to Liu Guangting and them with all their might, telling them to stop fighting and rush out together! But Liu Guangting and they hate pirates so much, where are they willing to listen to their nonsense!
At this time, the naval fleet also rushed to the side of the pirates! They came prepared, and they deliberately sneaked to their side before making trouble, where would they give them a chance to escape!
When they approached the pirate ship, they took turns cleaning the deck with their guns, and then used chain bullets to break the masts and sails. When you get closer, you can continue to suppress the pirates with the bowl and bombard the hull with heavy artillery! Just punch a hole or two and move on to other targets! As long as the cabin is flooded, the ship will not run fast! You can process it slowly!
Even more brave soldiers jump onto a pirate ship while they are being suppressed, cut the sail ropes with their axes, or simply cut off the masts! Then the ships were left to drift on the sea. If these boats leak or destroy their sails, they are wingless ducks, and they can only swing on the water and catch them one by one at dawn!
The pirates had been fighting for a long time, and they were exhausted both mentally and physically. Now that he is attacked by the official army, he is even more powerless to resist, and those who can't run simply sit on the boat and wait for disposal. As for some of the smarter pirates, knowing that the big ship has a big target, they simply jump onto the small boat or sampan and try to sneak away!
If they are in the dark, there is still a chance to escape, if they are shrouded in firelight, one shot down, and the people on the ship will die cleanly! Some boats and sampans were even directly knocked over by the warship, and even the people and boats sank into the sea!
However, although these naval sampans were killed, they still remembered the order passed down by Shangguan, that is, ships with skull flags were not attacked! Especially when they saw the ships flying the skull flag and the sailors cooperating with them in the attack on the pirates, they understood that this was probably the internal response mentioned above!
These soldiers have participated in the battle of suppressing bandits at sea, and they have also shared the captured spoils, so they naturally know that someone is giving the navy directions, so they have copied many pirate nests! So they have a crush on pirates with skull flags! After all, it was under their guidance that they made a small fortune!
Therefore, with the cooperation of both sides, except for a few pirates who fled, most of the pirate ships were either burned and sunk, or were flooded by the hull or broke the mast, and the dead fish were generally waiting to be disposed of! Let them sweep away all the pirates they can see in less than an hour!
When the battle had completely subsided, the sailors began to shout loudly to hunt for pirates. At this time, Liu Guangting took Liu Ming and a few people to board Li Wenliang's boat.
As soon as he saw Li Wenliang, Liu Guangting arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your help! If it weren't for Master Li, I'm afraid the lives of our people would have been left at sea!"
Li Wenliang had seen Liu Guangting first and knew his identity, so he didn't dare to take it, and said in return, "It's okay, it's all a trivial matter! But this official really sweated for you!"
Liu Guangting sighed when he heard this and said, "I just don't know how Master Li knew that we would encounter an ambush?"
Li Wenliang asked people to bring tea
, slowly explained the situation. It turned out that Liu Guangting and Li Wenliang had always maintained contact. On the one hand, the settlement needs to purchase and transport materials, and on the other hand, it is also Liu Haojia's request! They are inside and outside, and the cooperation of both sides can give full play to their greatest power!
Therefore, Liu Guangting always notifies Li Wenliang of any action here, and reports it to him. And this operation is no exception. However, just a few days ago, after Liu Guangting and others went to sea, a person came to tell the truth, saying that there were pirates monitoring the sailor's camp.
When Li Wenliang found out, he immediately sent someone to arrest the female cadre and asked about the informant's situation. It turns out that this whistleblower was also a pirate! This person's name is Ding Sanmao, and he caught up with Liu Haojia and was arrested after he went south not long after he went to the sea! Because this man had been at sea for a short time and had not done anything evil, he was punished with three months of hard labor and then let him go home.
Ding Sanmao was broken by the wanton killing of the official army before, so after serving hard labor, he came back and honestly found a job to make a living. This morning, he was following a guy to the beach to collect fish, only to find a pirate he had beaten before, who was sneakily squatting in the teahouse on the dock drinking tea!
Ding Sanmao knew that only when the pirates made a big move, they would send people ashore in advance to collect information. So without saying a word, he went to the sailor's camp to tell the secret, wanting to mix up some rewards!
After the others were captured, Li Wenliang immediately learned from the mouth of this pirate that Li Dazui was going to ambush Liu Guangting! Frightened, he immediately ordered the fleet to travel, hoping to pick up Liu Guangting. As a result, when he arrived, the battlefield had already shifted, and he didn't see Liu Guangting and them!
Just when he couldn't find anyone and thought that Liu Guangting was probably finished, it was dark. As a result, not long after, some soldiers said that the sea in the distance was bright, as if someone was fighting fire! Look at the book
Li Wenliang was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately scattered the team, which saved Liu Guangting's life! And take this opportunity to cut off the five larger pirates on the sea in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone!
However, this time Liu Guangting also suffered heavy losses! At the end of the battle, more than a quarter of his men were killed, and most of the rest were wounded. And there are many seriously injured, and some even have to be disabled!
