Chapter 574: Naval Battle

"Loach warship! That...... Skull Flag! ”

Hu Yanqing at the bow of the ship looked weird, he knew that the boat was the common loach warship of the Great Song Dynasty Navy, but there was a skull flag fluttering on the highest mast on the ship. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Have you ever heard of anyone using this flag?"

Hu Yanqing looked at his officers and asked, especially the dozen gray-haired veterans, all of whom have been veterans in the Ping Navy for 20 years, and they can be described as well-informed.

"I've never seen it, the flag has always represented the identity of the army, and it's generally a text, Goryeo and Wa like to have a picture, but I've never heard of a skull picture."

The soldiers shook their heads in reply.

"Spread all the sails and chase me!"

Hu Yanqing observed for a long time and found that there was only such a strange ship, and he didn't care so much, so he chased it and took it.

Hu Yanqing went to sea this time with a merchant ship, and the speed of the merchant ship was far less than that of the warship, so in order to speed up, he emptied all the unnecessary goods in the cabin, and even because there were no waves, even the heavy objects in the ballast were cleared, in order to achieve the ultimate speed.

"The trumpet rises!"

Hu Yanqing waved his hand, and the horn of the ship sounded, and the horn sound of "woo woo woo" echoed on the sea.

"The first team outflanks to the left, the second team detours from the right, and the rest bite me up!"

Hu Yanqing saw the movement of the loach warship and ordered.

Loach warships.

"Hey, hey, fooled!"

Wang Dingliu looked at the fleet chasing behind and smiled.

"Turn around, set sail, I'll let him know what a warship is!"

Wang Dingliu commanded the soldiers.

Even though the sea is wide and boundless, the loach warship still turns in a big circle.

Hu Yanqing thought that the loach warship would run, but he didn't expect to rush towards him after sparing a circle.

"Spread out, spread out! Prepare for the port. ”

Hu Yanqing looked at the huge copper ramming angle on the loach warship, if he was hit by this thing, his merchant ships would definitely sink.

"Want to take the shipboard? Don't ask me if I agree! ”

Wang Dingliu stood on the highest mast and sneered at all this, he also knew a little about the tactics of the imperial navy, when he was in Jiankang Mansion, he had seen the training of the navy by the river, first the bed crossbow bow shooting, and then the overboard jumping, there was nothing new at all.

Hu Yanqing was commanding the army to approach from both sides, and suddenly saw holes on the sides of the loach warship on both sides, and then the black barrels were pushed out.

"It's not good, it's a firearm, retreat!"

Hu Yanqing yelled in horror, but it was too late, the artillery began to fire, and the cannonballs came in rows, and the ships that were hit were instantly torn apart by the cannonballs, and were punched out of big holes.

The power of the artillery instantly stunned the Ping Navy, they had never encountered such equipment in a naval battle, and they could not even get close to the enemy ship.

"Catch up from behind!"

Hu Yanqing quickly thought of a countermeasure, the loach warships had artillery on both sides, and they could avoid the artillery by pursuing them from the rear.

Wang Dingliu did not fight with Hu Yanqing, and commanded the ship to go in the predetermined direction.

Where is Hu Yanqing willing to let go of this lonely ship, and he will chase after the army.

"Woooooo

A trumpet sounded.

Hu Yanqing's face changed greatly, and when he looked around, he found that dozens of huge warships appeared on the sea around him, and a huge encirclement had surrounded his fleet, and a skull flag was floating on each battleship.

"How can there be so many warships!"

Hu Yanqing's hands were shaking, he couldn't deal with so many warships at all, and the Ping Navy had never had so many huge warships.

"Quick, get back into the reef!"

Hu Yanqing saw those warships coming, and did not hesitate, and commanded the warships to hide in the island group, where there were countless reefs on Ming Island, and the enemy's big ships did not dare to come in.

"Think these reefs can stop me? Fire! ”

Fei Bao sneered, Hu Yanqing thought of him too simply, some reefs, can he be safe by hiding in them? directly fired the bombardment, and I didn't believe that Yanqing could hide for a lifetime.

The artillery bombarded round by round, and the merchant ships and fishing boats that tried to take refuge in the reef were torn apart by the artillery.

"Big brother, why don't we bring someone in!"

Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng asked Fei Bao to fight, although the reef is troublesome, as long as you are careful, the loach warship can still enter, as long as you follow the enemy's road, you don't have to be afraid of hitting the reef.

"No, every ship is a copycat asset, and we can't risk it."

Fei Bao shook his head and said, when he entered the sea, he realized how important a big ship was, and naval warfare was nothing more than fighting for a strong ship.

"Huyanqing's fleet is so big, they can't hide this island and reef, as long as they round up two rounds, his fleet will inevitably disperse!"

Fei Bao pointed to the fleet of ships meandering in the reef group and said, Hu Yanqing thought simply, but the space in the reef is limited, where can so many ships hide.

Watching the artillery continue to smash the ships, Hu Yanqing was also very anxious in his heart, he never expected that the enemy could have so many ships and so many artillery.

"Where did this thief come from!"

Hu Yanqing wondered for a while, even pirates can't have this kind of strength.

"Hu Yanqing, if you know each other, drop the sail and surrender, otherwise you will all be buried in the sea!"

Fei Bao took this big horn and shouted upwind, using the Wu language of Jiangnan.

"It's ...... Southerner! ”

Hu Yanqing listened to the shouts that came, and a doubt in his heart was finally solved, why there were so many warships, it turned out to be from the south.

"General, we're surrounded!"

The soldiers pointed to the warships around them, and the exit of the main reef was blocked, and if they broke through, the casualties would be great.

"Go to Chiki Island!"

Seeing that he was surrounded, Hu Yanqing pointed to a relatively large island and ordered, this is a military base of the Dengzhou Navy Division in the coastal sea, and it can be stationed for a period of time in peacetime training.

At the same time, Hu Yanqing also called a cronie and asked him to send back the news that the enemy was from the south.

Hu Yanqing commanded the fleet to go to Chiji Island, Fei Bao was not in a hurry when he saw this, the flag waved, and the surrounding warships pursued and continued to bombard.

"Get on the island!"

Hu Yanqing saw Chiji Island, and regardless of the ships, he immediately let the soldiers get on the small boats and dock, these big ships were already a burden compared to the enemy's warships.

Seeing that the camp was about to arrive, the soldiers on the beach looked ecstatic, and they were not afraid of the thieves' artillery when they went to the camp.

"Hu Yanqing, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng, and Wang Dingliu appeared in front of Hu Yanqing with people and blocked Hu Yanqing's Peace Navy on the beach.

Ping Haijun, who was still laughing and ecstatic just now, instantly froze his expression, they never thought that they had escaped into the trap of thieves when they ran around, and now they had abandoned the ship, and they couldn't run if they wanted to.

"Hu Yanqing, if you don't descend, then I can only kill you and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks."

Ni Yun opened his mouth to scare Hu Yanqing and those soldiers, and anyone who eats sea food is not afraid of sharks.

"You're Southerners! Why come to my Dengzhou! ”

Hu Yanqing listened to Ni Yun's accent and confirmed that these people in front of him were from Jiangnan.
