Chapter 238: A Ship Breaks the Sea

At this time, among the captured British merchant ships, Wang Xiaoming and Chen Guangsheng, the two most trusted generals of Li Xian, were in command.

Before joining the convoy, the two of them were just ordinary hunters and shopkeepers, but now they have some heroism as young officers.

Under the command of the two of them, the merchant ship slowly moved forward, following the flower ass ship in front of it into the Yonggu waterway smoothly.

Although the British fleet hurried and hurried, it was still a step slower, and even the warship Warren, which was at the forefront, was more than two nautical miles away from the merchant ships, and watched the merchant ships enter the waterway.

Wang Xiaoming and Chen Guangsheng are also very familiar with this waterway, not to mention that the two have done many cases in this vicinity, and they have also pretended to be legitimate businessmen to and fro many times outside of that, so they can be said to know everything about this place.

After entering the waterway for more than one nautical mile, there is a sudden narrowing opening, only sixty or seventy meters wide, and ships passing by here must be very careful not to run aground.

After arriving here, Wang Xiaoming asked the helmsman to turn the rudder vigorously, so that the merchant ship turned almost 90 degrees, blocking almost all the waterway mouths.

The length of the thousand-ton ship was at least 60 meters, and at this time it crossed over, just blocking the waterway, and the ships behind it could no longer enter.

This was not enough, Wang Xiaoming also instructed the ship's guards to lower the iron anchor and lower all the sails.

After that, powder kegs were placed at the bottom of the hold so that they could ignite and detonate at a critical moment, so that the ship would sink due to the flooding of the hold, completely blocking the waterway, not to mention.

After doing all this, Wang Xiaoming asked people to push all six guns on the ship to the side facing the road and aim at the incoming enemy.

The warship Warren sailed over, and when he saw this posture, he knew that it was almost impossible to go any further, but he was unwilling to do so, and tried to force the people on board to abandon the ship and flee with the bow gun.

If it is a pirate, it may be necessary to abandon the ship and run away at this time, after all, the task of blocking the waterway has been completed, and even if you continue to stay on it, it is of little significance.

However, the ship's escort was not only a pirate who knew how to pursue profit, but a highly trained soldier who was not afraid to see the warship coming, but used the ship's guns to fire shells and counterattack the warship.

"Damn pirates, don't give up until this time. Captain Smith cursed a few words, but he could only give up his advance and order to drop anchor.

Warships were much stronger than merchant ships, especially British warships were designed to be able to carry 30-pounder guns at close range, and the range and power of the guns on board were far superior to ordinary commercial guns.

However, at this time, the position of the ships on both sides was extremely special, and only the bow guns of the warships could hit the merchant ships in front, while the six guns of the merchant ships could fire at the warships, which happened to be the most natural T-shaped tactic.

Although commercial artillery is not very harmful to warships, it is pointless to be beaten in vain, and it is also a big joke to accidentally let the opposite ship fire chain bullets or something, knocking out the mast of the warship.

Therefore, Captain Smith could only order to stop the advance before reaching the effective range of the merchant ship on the opposite side.

"Send some soldiers and try to attack in a dinghy. The first mate immediately suggested.

"The pirates on the other side are brave and calm, and it should not be of much use to send a dinghy over. Captain Smith sighed and said, "But at this point, we can only try." ”

Immediately, someone lowered the ship's lifeboats, and dozens of brave soldiers sat on them, rowed their oars, and launched an attack on the opposite boat.

However, after this period of training, Li Xian's guards are not what they used to be, and they are very skilled in using artillery, and they used six commercial guns to knock out two small boats, and the luckiest one rushed to within 200 meters of the merchant ship, and was also beaten by the people on the boat with rifled guns and so on, so that they could not raise their heads, and finally had to abandon the small boat and jump into the water to escape back.

Behind the British warship Warren, a number of merchant ships also arrived one after another, but after seeing the battle situation in front of them, they also knew that it was useless to move forward, so they no longer attacked forward.

"What's going on, a dozen ships of the great British Empire have been blocked by a small pirate ship. Captain Smith thought it was ridiculous and complained loudly.

"What's even more incredible is that this pirate ship is still from the decoy ship we use to attract pirates. The first mate slandered in his heart, but he gave him three guts, and he didn't dare to say such things.

"Next, let's see how the Vora Suspicion builds up its merits. However, even at this point Captain Smith did not think that the British side would lose.

With the Vora and a dozen ships on the other side, the pirates could be wiped out, or at least expelled.

"See, I only relied on one ship on my side, and I stopped more than a dozen ships of the British Navy.

Even when Zhang Yide was resurrected, it was nothing more than that. Seeing that the British no longer sent people to attack, Wang Xiaoming relieved himself and bragged to Chen Guangsheng beside him.

"You just have the ability to go to the sea and fight with people, if you can rely on this ship to fight people and warships for three rounds, then I admire you. Chen Guangsheng smiled, unintentionally praising the other party.

"So what, I really think I'm afraid of others, and if I really want to go to sea, it's hard to say who wins and who loses. Wang Xiaoming was interested, and he couldn't find the north.

"It's the right thing to do to complete the tasks assigned by the battalion commander first. Chen Guangsheng smiled and reminded the other party to complete the task well.

"That's for sure. Wang Xiaoming nodded, looked at Chen Guangsheng, thought of one more thing, and squinted and said: "By the way, Old Chen, Instructor Chen, it is said that if you want to come out of the instructor corps and work in the escort team, it is better to go to our second company."

What kind of friendship do we have, when we come, we will let you be a deputy company commander or something, and you don't have to get up from a squad leader or something. ”

Chen Guangsheng was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer.

Originally, Li Xian's definition of the instructor corps was very clear, that is, the status of the instructor corps was noble, and even when meeting with the ordinary officers of the escort team, they would automatically be one level higher, and there was no need to salute people.

At the same time, the members of the instructor corps can only exist as instructors, that is to say, they are responsible for the training of the escort members, and they do not have any command authority over the escort team outside of training, and they cannot interfere in personnel and logistics, etc., and can only make suggestions to Li Xian under specific circumstances.

Most of the people in the instructor corps, from General Zhao Hu and Miss Xie to Chen Guangsheng, were the original old men of the Mixed Yuan Sect, and they felt like a mirror in their hearts about this regulation.

Considering that Zhao Hu was unwilling to reveal the situation of the Xie family to Li Xian, and that Miss Xie held Chen Qian's suicide note and didn't show it to Li Xian, Chen Guangsheng and the others understood that the above leaders' desire to spy on the forces established by Li Xian had not been extinguished, and they also knew that Li Xian was justified in doing so.
