Chapter 81: Seize the Ship

The messenger's name was Li Yunfei, who was startled by Ding Yi from behind, and followed Ding Yi with his shoulders to meet with the five people in the hospital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not far from the village is the mountains and forests, Ding Yi stood at the door and looked at the mountains and forests for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked Xu Chuanchen: "Where is Hongmaoyi's boat parked?

Xu Chuanchen hurriedly replied, the two ships of Hongmaoyi are about ten miles to the east, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is a very large bay, could it be Keelung Harbor in the future? About 50 people are guarding the ship, and the ship has already anchored and docked, so it should not set sail for no reason.

Ding Yi thought for a while, hid the bodies of the four Hongmaoyi, and ordered everyone to go with him, four adults, two children, and four horses, just right, along the coast, and it didn't take long to see the lucky boat coming from the coast.

At this time, it was getting late, put down the boat and docked to pick up a few people, Ding Yi ordered a few crew members and some Li Village sailors about 30 people to be on standby near the village four or five kilometers from the sea, he personally took more than 100 heavily armed soldiers and brave men selected by Li Village, and went straight to the bay where Hongmaoyi stopped the boat.

When the weather was dark, more than 160 people in Ding's area had already come to the vicinity of the bay and hid in the dense jungle.

In the bay, two 50-meter-long warships were very conspicuous, not much smaller than the boat that Ding Yi was riding, and at this time they had already dropped their sails and anchored, and they were still a little far from the coast, and they could not climb up by wading into the water; not far from the sea, several bonfires were raised, and more than 100 Hongmaoyi were eating around the fire, muskets were thrown at their feet, and there were four or five small boats that could hold more than 10 people parked on the beach.

Ding Yi returned to the crowd and quietly ordered the crowd to be divided into two groups, to select the strongest fifty men from the sailors, to appoint their own boats, everyone to be ready, muskets to be loaded, bows and arrows to be prepared for arrows, and the excess clothing and scabbards to be discarded on the ground, and each with a stick in his mouth.

Out of the jungle, Ding Yi took the lead, lying on the ground, crawling forward, there was darkness behind him, and the crowd moved forward, closer, closer!

Some people are rude and telling jokes, some people are foaming at the mouth, some people are gulping down, guessing the order, the wine is splashed, and some people are lying naked on the sand, messy.

There was a red hairy Yi who drank too much, walked to the side, untied his trouser belt to pee, felt that the scenery in front of him was wrong, it seemed to be shaking, a soak of urine halfway, holding the trouser belt in one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other, before he could see clearly, a sharp sword shot out, pierced into the chest, and fell down to the sky, the urine was like a fountain, falling into the sky, and the sword handle was also drenched a lot.

A figure jumped forward suddenly, pulled out a sharp sword, his hand was damp and hot, Ding Yi scolded in his heart, his footsteps did not stop, one step at a time, he pounced into the crowd in an instant, the double swords flew over, and three or four people fell down in a blink of an eye, and a group of people behind Ding Yi stood up suddenly, biting the wooden stick in his mouth tightly, and pounced!

Ding Yi spit out the wooden stick and shouted: "Hurry, hurry!" The sword followed the people, fell several figures along the way, rushed to the beach, turned around and stood still, and cut several people around him to the ground!

The designated fifty men went straight to the boat, leaving the enemy behind, and the five boats quickly pushed into the water!

Ding jumped onto the boat, stood at the bow of the boat, and still shouted: "Hurry, hurry!"

The army rowed desperately, and the weapons in their hands were stretched out and rowed vigorously. The five boats pushed the waves, like flying, and the five split water streaks quickly swung to both sides.

The sound of shouting and killing and muskets began to be heard on the shore, Ding Yi didn't look back at all, just stared at the two big ships that were parked very close, the speed should be fast, don't let the enemy run away, don't leave too many people on the ship!

The boat was still more than ten meters away from the warship, and Ding Yi was so anxious that he jumped up!

The big ship was in chaos, the first mate left behind was shouting wildly, the big ship had begun to move, several people were closing the anchor, and there were a dozen or so people who were adjusting the direction of the boat with their guns, and there were seven or eight leaning on the side of the boat, nervously loading the spears, and just dialing out the strips, to adjust the muzzles and shoot down!

A cloud of silver light swept up, and in the miserable howl, several people who were wielding guns turned into stumps and shredded flesh, and sprinkled them on the ground, the silver light was like electricity, and rushed towards the gunners against the plank, and became hasty, and the gunners dropped their cannons, some raised axes, some waved knives, and some picked up the muskets on the side.

The silver light was too fast, the sound of weapons clashing kept coming, when the people in the small boat climbed up with hooks and ropes, there were already dead people all over the ground, in the middle of the big boat, kneeling a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, still muttering to himself, I don't know what to say, a few anchors were stunned, did not grasp it for a while, the chain rolled back, one person was thrown into the water, and the others were kneeling on the ground with their hands raised!

Ding Yi arranged for his small boat to rush to this warship, and the other forty people all ran to the other boat, and the battle here ended, killing more than ten people, taking twelve prisoners, and the ten people on the boat tied up all the twelve people and knelt on the deck.

Ding Yi stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the other boat, where the shouts of killing and the sound of muskets rang out, and the people in the small boat had just climbed up, and some people kept falling down, and the fight was in full swing.

Ding Yi confessed: "Watch the prisoners!"

Without waiting for a reply, he jumped into the boat, dropped his two swords, grabbed the ship's pulp, and with two blows, he was already close to the other ship.

Simon, the captain of the St. Gallis, was very nervous, there were so many enemies there, the attack was fierce, and the swiftness was incomparable, and he was glad that he did not go ashore, and the captain of the Anne next to him went ashore to dine, and the enemy attacked, not even a single shot was fired.

He was a nobleman, and the crew were not regular soldiers, and many of them were unemployed. There are many thieves and robbers, there are many indecent and shameless people, he is too lazy to play with them, he hurried back to the ship after dinner, and was resting on the deck, when he heard the shouts of killing, and saw that the enemy had snatched the boat and rushed to this side, the first reaction was that it was too late to raise the anchor and operate the cannon, even if the cannon had been prepared, this kind of close-range boat would definitely not be able to hit, and immediately gathered everyone on board, ready to meet the enemy, the musketeers in the front row aimed, the rear row loaded, and some non-combatants carried knives and axes nervously waiting for the enemy.

Enemy boats approached: "Fire!" There was a thud, smoke obscured the view, and the gunners in the second round could not see the enemy clearly, except for a few knocked down in the first round. Simon could see clearly in the side and rear of the ship, the hit rate was not high, the first round also knocked down four people, the second round knocked down two people, the enemy's counterattack came quickly, more than a dozen people in the small boat up with muskets to return fire, and more than a dozen people kept firing bows and arrows upward, this kind of shooting under the boat took advantage, close combat, musket loading is not as fast as the bow and arrow, fortunately, there is a side of the ship to block part of the body, the enemy is attacking from the back, and after a while, seven or eight people fell on the ship.

There were only twenty-three people left behind, including Simon, this kind of exchange is definitely not good, Simon gave an order, all the sailors retreated to the door of the cabin, divided into three groups, each with three or five muskets at the side of the ship, whoever came up to hit whom, for a while to form a stalemate, but the stern was not to care, as long as it could be stable, hoping that the shore could be victorious, and come to the aid in time.

How could it be so careless, there were no guards on the high ground on the coast, the ship's gun jackets were not torn off, and the lookouts had already gone ashore to play. With muskets and cannons, with a little preparation, it is impossible for the enemy to attack in front of him.

A stalemate was formed, and the brave one who was fighting for the first place was beaten down as soon as he emerged, and at this time, Ding Yi pushed the boat around the back, grabbed the anchor chain with his hand, and flew up like a big bird.

As soon as he stood firm, he heard a strange cry from the other side, and a bearded guy wearing a tall captain's hat was at the door of the rear cabin, holding a flintlock pistol in each hand, aiming at himself in the air.

Unable to dodge in mid-air, Tiyun launched vertically, and forcibly moved two feet to the right, banging two gunshots rang out in his ears, Ding Yi ignored it, the long sword in his left hand was thrown out of his hand, and the daughter fell to the ground and rolled, and the long sword in his right hand waved, and the guy's thigh was cut off, and blood was splashed all over his body.

When he stood still and looked again, Simon fell to the ground, not dead for a while, muttering something in his mouth, if Ding could understand, he would know that Simon was talking about the devil and the devil! He had never seen anyone who could dodge bullets at close range, let alone jump into the air and fly like a big bird. A long sword pierced the man's chest, and in a moment he should have died.

Ding Yi didn't stop, pulled out his long sword, passed through the cabin, and killed him from behind!

Ding Yi attacked from behind, and after a while, the people of the four small boats also rushed up, this ship reacted in time, responded effectively, and resisted the fiercest, the people who attacked the ship suffered heavy casualties, and all the sailors on board were chopped into pulp.

Standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the shore, the battle was not over, and the fighting was still raging, and the gunfire was still ringing.

Ding Yi ordered ten people to be left to watch the boat, retreated the gun suits, aimed at the shore, took more than ten people to take the flintlock pistol on the ship, jumped onto a small boat, Ding Yi personally manipulated the pulp, and rushed to the shore like a firefight.

As soon as Ding came ashore, he ordered more than a dozen people to line up on the beach, moving slowly and steadily, each aiming at free shooting, and in the chaotic crowd, the enemy kept falling, and the resistance quickly collapsed.

Among the corpses on the ground, more than 30 people knelt down and surrendered.

These Hongmaoyi are outlaws, strong, very strong, very timely, although they were raided, and many people were drunk, and the muskets were not around in a hurry, people fought for themselves, fought to the death, formed a stalemate, the Ming army was not as strong as Hongmaoyi, if it wasn't for Ding Yi's timely reinforcement and effective response, it was difficult to say that this victory or defeat was difficult to say!

Ding Yi thought about it carefully, this strong contrast is obvious, these Hongmaoyi are all local daring traitors who dare to take risks, and the sailors they bring are restricted by the guard system, and they are quite malnourished, Li Cun's is struggling to survive in Yizhou, and the physical condition is also poor, it seems that in the future, their troops should strengthen their nutrition, and they should be tall and strong!

After counting the casualties and booty, they captured two good sail warships, 12 cannons, 24 small cannons, 231 flintlock guns, four monoculars, and 253 cold weapons such as swords and axes! Two copies of the charts, 52 Hongmaoyi were captured! 230 Hongmaoyi were killed or wounded!

Ding Yi ordered that all the wounded should be executed, and they did not have the mood or the manpower and material resources to treat the wounds of these people! There were also more than 8,700 eagle oceans, more than 5,000 taels of silver, Ding Yi stretched out his hand to weigh them, one eagle ocean weighed less than one tael, and two were almost slightly heavier than one tael, it seems that there is time to weigh this eagle ocean and determine the value; there are some other goods, which are not very valuable!

Ding Yi attaches the most importance to the charts, there are many charts, very messy, the language is twisted and turned, I don't understand it, it's very annoying, I can only sort it out and put it aside, and then I have time to understand it slowly!

The damage was not small, the attacking ship lost five people killed and seven wounded, and the battle on the beach killed eight people and wounded thirty-five. Twelve of the wounded were gunshot wounds, four of them were easy to treat, picking out the projectiles and digging out the bad meat, the other five were difficult to get, the lead bullet wounds were at the critical point and could not be taken out, the lead bullet itself was poisonous, these five people were almost sentenced to death, the other three were all shot out of the body by lead bullets, the import was relatively small, and the exit was a big hole, and it was also difficult to save! On the contrary, the injuries of cold weapons were not very important, and the armor prepared in advance made a great contribution, and the overall loss was within an acceptable range!
