Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: 275 St. George’s Banner

Chapter 275 Flag of Saint George

"My mother, the old house I worked so hard to manage. Every brick is set according to the ancestral "Feng Shui Baojian", but it has never been effective. It turned out to be on the body of Xiyang Hongfan. This time Finally, the ancestral grave is smoking.

When I came back from Luzon, I got dozens of western cannons. By then, what cats and dogs, I’m pooh, I’m holding a sea dog in my left hand, and a snow cat in my right hand, Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao's two tortoise grandsons were tied to the door of my Cao's treasure house to show Laozi, hehehe. "

Cao Tianchong couldn't help laughing when he thought of his pride. He has personally seen Western firearms. He is a sea thief, a real robber who robs and robs on the sea. When he looks at the rate of fire of Western artillery, he understands that his three ships are by no means rivals. With such sharp firearms, if you are equipped with a few more ships, it is. The four major invaders of the East China Sea are not opponents.

Also, the Westerners’ fire guns are also extremely accurate. Cao Tianchong saw the western captain Fernando throw several small wine jars into the sea. When the sea surface was sinking or floating, it was difficult to aim at the pirates. , Gun sound altar broken.

Such force, hehe, climbed this high branch and developed! It's just a pity...

Cao Tianchong habitually counted it up, and regretfully thought: If it were three days later, this would be a good day, and it would be good to start a business and travel a long distance. Alas, Westerners don’t believe this, his grandmother’s.

Cao Tianchong's father was originally a feng shui master. Although Cao Tianchong was born sturdy and sturdy and has no appearance, he can also hyphenate with his father, and he has a good feng shui skill.

It's just that he didn't expect that Feng Shui is also good at appearance. His appearance can be trusted by him. Few people ask him to see Feng Shui. When the older and more valuable daddy died, he would go on a whim.

One day more than twenty years ago, a pirate leader died. His subordinates transported him back to the land and secretly took Cao Tianchong to help him choose a cemetery. When he wanted to kill him, he knelt down and begged for mercy. No, just join the pirates. Only then did he save his life. It was unexpected that after more than two decades, he had become the leader of the pirates on Dulong Island.

This man did not change the habit of Mr. Feng Shui even after being a pirate. He used the magnificence and grandeur of the master of the mountain gate, just like a traditional Jiangnan family. He used most of his private wealth to rob Buy this mountain house.

The house has a shadow wall, gate tower, front building, middle building, back building and Guanshan Pavilion. Wing rooms are arranged on both sides, and each entry is equipped with a patio. There are reliefs on it. The relief is full of auspicious figures, peony symbolizes wealth; pine tree symbolizes longevity; narcissus symbolizes immortals; bergamot symbolizes happiness.

As for the "three more pictures", "four gentlemen", "celestial birthday", "celestial official's blessing", "spending money to protect neighbors", and "hehe two immortals" can be seen everywhere.

People on the island know that the patterns on each door of Cao’s house have their own meaning. The first door is "reach out for money", and the second door is "blessed by foot." The third door is "Look up to have longevity", the fourth door is "When you look back, there are officials", the fifth door is "Go out and have joy", and the last door to his inner house is "You have treasure when you enter."

It's a pity that there is no treasure in Cao's inner house. There are no dead treasures, not even living treasures. There are more than thirty women like flowers and jade in the house. I don’t know if Boss Cao has done too many wicked things, but there is no one who has children. Now Boss Cao is almost 50, and only recognizes two. Godson.

Two three-masted galleons bypassed the seal site, adjusted their course and headed towards Dulong Island. These Western pirates are not afraid of fur seals. Seals are better than a large number of people on the ship, and they are better than their artillery. Both sides have fears, unless necessary, they will not conflict with each other.

There are more and more seagulls in the sky. This is a sign that there is land or an island nearby, and it is close to Durong Island. The two three-masted galleons have square sails on the front mast, trapezoidal sail on the main mast, and spinnaker on the rear mast. Each ship is equipped with 25 cannons. It was the two warships used by the pirate leader Captain Pedro to start his family.

The sailors are busy everywhere. The sea is calm. The sun is shining and the sailors are in a good mood. This is an easy journey.

Life on the ocean is difficult and dangerous, often subject to life-threatening storms or battles. Although the pirate ship sailors have benefited a lot, these bachelors far away from home are not in the habit of saving money, and all the income is spent on the land and consumes it all.

So all the pirates on the ship are unnamed. They are sloppy, unshaven, with incomplete teeth, rough skin, ragged clothes, and very unsuitable. They are completely different from the pirates described in pirate movies, and they Don’t wear earrings as described in the novel. This is because earrings get in the way and hook clothes, especially affecting combat.

However, the pirate captain Fei Nando, this desolate nobleman, still partially retains the habits of the nobleman. He wears huge earth gold earrings on his ears, which are shining in the sun. The tight-fitting linen robe was covered with a round cloak, which was fixed on his left shoulder. When the sea breeze blew the cloak, the wide belt at his waist was exposed. sword.

"Hey! Coming soon, there are all kinds of oriental women on Dulong Island, both beautiful and docile. We are going to have a paradise. In the future, we will no longer have to spend money on those thin and small girls in Luzon. ".

Esparto, with a hooked nose, yelled to his friends happily, turning the steering wheel.

Servete laughed loudly. He stood on a high place, adjusting his sails while singing loudly: "We are pirates, fierce pirates, holding a wine bottle in the left hand and the treasure in the right. We are. It’s a pirate, a competent pirate, hey! Beautiful girls, please come to my arms,"

Infected by his happily emotions, the pirates all over the ship sang loudly: "We are pirates, free pirates. Under the guidance of the skull and crossbones, we work hard to survive. We are pirates. There is no tomorrow. Pirate..."

The pirates on another ship should also get together, and the sea breeze faintly sent their singing. Fernando stroked his curvy beard, tapped the beat lightly, and joined the chorus with a smile.

The bow broke the waves, undulated briskly, and galloped towards Dulong Island amidst their happy singing.

"Sir Qianhu, there is Broken Leaf Reef ahead, and it doesn't take an hour to get around. Let's go to Dulong Island", the sailor in charge of the observation shouted.

The huge hull rides the wind and waves. The hull sways gently and bumps up and down. Peng Xiaochao stands firmly on the bow with his bare feet, and his copper-like arms are firmly fastened to the side of the ship. He grinned and said: "Haha, good , Speed ​​up the speed. We must seize Dulong Island first. Master Han is now the admiral of the Fujian Navy, don’t let him underestimate us!"

He was naturally full of ambition. He had already felt the bottom of Dulong Island clearly. There were some small boats and broken ships on the island when Cao Tianchong was dismissing the old and weak on the island. They have been allowed to sail away, and there are now only three warships on the island, with a total of less than forty guns.

And his main battleship was equipped with fifteen new Franco cannons hurriedly produced by the Nanjing Military Bureau, each with ten guns. Coupled with the original twenty heavy artillery pieces, he was sure to wipe out Cao Tianchong's warships with this warship alone, not to mention there were seven warships.

Peng Xiaochao chuckled, touched the beards that were not hard enough under his jaw, and said with a wicked smile: "There are many women on Dulong Island. After the fight is taken, the official is in charge. You can buy it first. Takeaway is 40% lower.

If you want to ask for a beautiful and obedient daughter-in-law, just give me the fuck! Master Cheng told me that this battle must be won beautifully and triumphantly, and no one should show me any fear! My Xiao Chao is worthy of my brothers, who do meritorious service and hug the mast! "

This is not a law in the military, but Peng Xiaochan’s rules. There are soldiers who are not seriously trained and violate military discipline. Tie to the mast. The wind and the sun will peel off the skin without dying It is much more powerful than the killing rod.

One-third of his soldiers are his father’s former subordinates, one-third are the original navy officers and soldiers, and the other are recruits who have just joined the army, but regardless of their background, follow this bandit The adults have been mixed for a long time, and the officers and soldiers on the ship are all contaminated with banditry. When they heard this, they all screamed in laughter, and their eyes lit up with murderous aura like flames.

Cao Tianchong is instructing the pirates to board the ship. He has already sent away all the old and weak women and children. Now, what is left is his elite soldiers and those beautiful women who are reluctant to give them away.

The waves hit the reefs on the shore gently, and the hull shook gently. A group of young women in different costumes from Dongying, North Korea, Yizhou, Ryukyu and other places were carefully stepping on the pedals to board the ship.

These women are really in trouble, walking on the pedals babbling as if they are afraid of stepping on ants. My mother, when I was violently bombarded by my "long guns and short guns" with all four feet upside down, I had never seen them so weak and so weak.

Cao Tianchong sighed helplessly: There were less than ten women on the boat, and nearly a hundred people. When will it be possible?

This big ship is his ship. Cao Tianchong is not stupid either. He gathered all the women on his boat and took care of them nearby, just to avoid being seen by the Western fans and making some excuses to go.

Pirates rob homes, every time they go to sea, they don’t know if they can come back alive. If they want them to die, they have to give them enough enjoyment, and women are undoubtedly the most important item among them. They are a tool to win the hearts of the army and boost morale . And if necessary, they can also be sold into money. The women who walked onto the boat with their round buttocks swaying attractively are piles of silver, and Cao Tianchong is naturally reluctant to give it away.

The pirates on the three ships are also busy, not busy manipulating the sailing boat and watching the sea, but busy looking for a place to manipulate their personal wealth. The Chinese are more interested in accumulating wealth than squandering, even pirates are no exception.

Some pirates work hard to accumulate wealth even if they have no family or relatives. Today is the whole island relocation, and they are about to rush to the other side. All the pirates are busy with their own private property, for fear of being touched by others, no one is looking at it. As a result, the warship in the distance had already approached so fast that someone discovered it by accident.

Cao Tianchong was staring at his moving "money boxes" on the boat, and suddenly heard someone shout: "Boss, Boss, there is a ship coming, it's two big ships."

Cao Tianchong stood on the shore, and after hearing that he lifted his spirits, he hurriedly urged: "Xiyang Fanzi is here? Hurry up. Hurry up and get on the boat. Damn it, let the Cannibal Fan see you and take you Her **** and **** are chopped off and stewed!

Hey! With such a wide springboard, what are you afraid of? Don't you go hurry up and squat to pick up gold ingots? "

Cao Tianchong said impatiently, wearing a kimono with willow shoes. The Dongying woman who was kicking and dawdling on the boat patted her fat ass.

At this moment, the pirate shouted again: "There are not only two ships, there are three other ships behind, there are five ships!"

Cao Tianchong was taken aback, and said in a daze: "Five? Didn't they say to send two kinds of gunboats to pick us up? Why did it become five?"

Cao Tianchong ran into the boat "driving". Standing at a high place, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance: one, two...five, um...it really is five, weird, really weird...".

"Boom!" There was a loud noise. A wave of waves rose in the sea.

"Fuck me! It's officers and soldiers, officers and soldiers are here!"

It suddenly dawned on Cao Tianchong that he didn't need to rely on his old skills to pinch his fingers. He immediately yelled like a god: "Get on the boat, pull the sail and raise the anchor, **** it, the cannon, the gunner?"

There was a lot of chaos on the ship. The woman in the kimono wearing wooden shoes just walked to the center of the pedal, and when the gun sounded, she immediately let out a high-level scream, then twisted her buttocks, and fled at a speed twice as fast as when she boarded the boat.

The beautiful lady has already shook her hips, and there are two wooden shoes left on the board...

The pirates were in a great chaos. The people who gave up their lives and money hurriedly wanted to find a safe place to lift themselves up, and some hurried to their place. An anchor that pulls an anchor, a sail that pulls a sail.

Because of the pedals hung on the side of the ship, no one will collect it. Most of the dozen or so women who had just boarded the boat took the opportunity to escape. The remaining few jumped on the pedals with horror at the sight of the thunder of gunfire. Falling into the sea like a gourd. Fortunately, it was not deep here. After a scream, they found that the depth of the water was barely knee-high, and they immediately got up and fled to the island.

Now that all the belongings and weapons are all on the ship, it is impossible to return to the island for a decisive battle. Cao Tianchong had to complain to Lian Tiandi and order the warship to leave the shore as soon as possible, otherwise the three ships would be so crowded here that they would simply sit and wait.

Standing on the command ship, Han Wu also discovered that this was absolutely advantageous to the armed forces. Unexpectedly, the strong attack would evolve into a surprise attack. They rushed to the front of the pirate ship, a blind spot for pirate artillery. Moreover, the three pirate ships are close to each other, and it is too late for them to sail away and make adjustments to battle.

Han Wu made a decisive decision and immediately shouted: "Mighty Fengfeng and Weiyuan ship immediately attacked with all their strength, and the two ships Weisheng and Weichang intercepted their way!" The flag bearer immediately issued instructions to the front after hearing this.

Two of the Han Wu battleships are equipped with new artillery, one is his ship Mighty, and the other is the Mighty sailing ahead. With the firepower of the Mighty Wind and Weiyuan, hitting three pirate ships standing still and unable to resist, there is no suspense at all.

When the two ships heard the command, they lowered their sails to slow down while driving sideways. The pirate ships aiming all guns at their guns were sprayed one after another with black hole muzzles, enjoying the pleasure of rape.

This time Cao Tianchong was miserable. His three boats were crowded by the sea. The water beside the island was shallow and the waves were slow. The three boats were very slow to drive each other, and the bow direction could not be equipped with cannons. If the hulls were not adjusted, The artillery equipped on the side could not shoot at the Ming army.

Looking at the Ming Army’s side, the Ming Army battleship flying over took advantage of its swift movement, adjusted its sails a little, and immediately adjusted its course at a very fast speed, aiming the cannon-filled ship's side. The three pirate ships in dense formations continued to rumble.

A round of artillery fire came, and a mast of the outermost pirate ship broke off and landed on another ship, and the flames burning on the sails spread to that side. On the other mainmast, the sail was beaten into a sieve and hung on the mast crookedly, losing its role as a sail.

A ship without mobility. Even with a hundred heavy artillery installed, there was nothing left to die. Worse still, the ship was on the outermost side. It stopped moving, and the two ships inside were blocked, and could only choose to move forward or backward. In the era when the ship was driven by wind, driving and reversing was not easy. Will the Ming army give the pirates in a hurry to adjust their sails and sail away?

Han Wu felt confident after seeing this situation. The main ship stayed in the sea and watched from a distance. Two warships from the two foreign countries took the opportunity to slant towards the stern of the pirate ship, trying to sail to their other dead end. It seems that today's battle will end with zero casualties. A smile appeared at the corner of Han Wu's mouth.

The majestic and Weiyuan naval guns rumbled, alternately covering and shooting the three pirate ships as living targets.

Cao Tianchong stood on the bow of the ship and wanted to cry without tears: This is really unfavorable for the fleeting years. The foreign devil is shaped like a Raksha, with a heavy yin spirit. Sure enough, his mother's choice is not good today. Isn't this gathering everyone in the boat and waiting for the bombing? "

When Fernando saw Dulong Island, he also saw Ming warships and pirate ships in flames. He was a little surprised by the appearance of Ming Jun, but he was not panicked.

A simple measure of the combat power of both sides. After judging the situation on the battlefield, Fernando immediately made an order: "Raise the skull flag and approach the two warships that are approaching Cao Tianchong's rear wing! Destroy them!"

The conch sounded, and two Spanish pirate ships raised the skull and crossbones with black and red letters. Lowered the mainsail, adjusted the angle of the spinnaker, and greeted the two Ming warships murderously.

Fernando wants to take advantage of the Ming army's warships to attack the pirate ships, and when their formations are scattered, they will destroy the two warships with superior firepower, so that it will be easy to deal with the other Ming ships.

Han Wu has already noticed the arrival of two Western warships. He obtained the information that three days later Western pirates came to welcome Cao Tianchong, so Yang Ling decided to start immediately. Destroying Dulong Island first, unexpectedly happened to run into a Western warship.

The surprised Han Wu was a little nervous and a little lucky. It is not that the intelligence is obviously wrong, or that the pirates temporarily changed their plan. Fortunately, we are scheduled to eliminate the pirates of Cao Tianchong's department today. If it is later, I am afraid that we can only seize an empty island.

For the battle with Western ships. He was also a little eager to try. As long as the artillery fire continues, the three pirate ships will be wiped out without firing a single shot. Han Wu immediately ordered the flag bearer to pass the command calmly: ordered the Mighty and Weiyuan ships to continue to attack with firepower, and at the same time ordered the other two ships to turn from left to right and slide to the left wing of the Western warship to form an attack formation. At the same time, his ship also welcomed Go up.

His main battleship is the No. 2 Fu Ship, which is much larger and less mobile than the Western warships that arrived. However, with the other two ships holding the enemy ship on the other side, the enemy ship’s mobile advantage is difficult. Play. Han Wu stood on the podium eagerly, and the gunner stood nervously on the gun position, changing the position of the muzzle of the black hole with the angle of the hull moving.

The design of this western artillery mount is very reasonable, which greatly improves the combat capability of the artillery. Except for the dozens of original thunderbolt artillery that are still in service due to time constraints and unable to produce enough artillery, the rest All of the Franco machine guns use this freely forward and retreat gun mount, and the relatively short barrel of the Franco machine gun is also suitable for making full use of the muzzle on the ship's side.

The gunners carried the bullets and shells, the sailors tightened the ropes, and constantly adjusted the angle and height of the sails. The commanders of the warships of both sides stared at the enemy ship, judging the speed and angle of the opponent's movement, and issued Following instructions.

For Han Wu, this is his first real battle, so although on the surface it is very calm, in fact, he is extremely nervous. After all, Fernando is an old pirate who has been fighting for many years. His combat experience is incomparable to Han Wu anyway. The weakness of the huge hull of No. 2 Fu Ship is not enough to be powered by Fernando.

Fernando was overjoyed. In the Penghu area, the battleship with Bai Xiaocao and the Penghu Inspection Division was a battleship under his command. From that battle, he had found out the power and range of Ming Army artillery. , Rate of fire.

It’s just that he is still not sure whether the main battleships of the Ming army are using such clumsy artillery. After all, with the Ming Dynasty country with such a wide territory and such a long coastline, the number of navies needed to support coastal defense is extremely large. It is extremely expensive to unify and re-arm.

So even if the Ming Army has more advanced artillery, it is possible that it is not used to equip all the navy. He needs to find out the details of the Ming army first. If the Ming army uses that kind of clumsy artillery, he may use the intensive artillery fire to completely destroy the Ming army command battleship.

Under his instruction. Another warship rushed towards the two approaching Ming warships, and Fernando took advantage of the small ship and the rapid change of the hull to enter the attack position first. The distance between the two sides has approached the optimal range of the artillery. According to this perspective, the Ming army The clumsy artillery wants to attack or is worse.

Fernand smiled slyly and calmly ordered: "Turn the rudder..." The ship began to turn around 90 degrees and aimed the gun muzzle densely on the side of the ship.

"Fire!" Fernando ordered again. "Boom, boom, boom!" The artillery roared and the ship's side shook. The sea suddenly filled with smoke. It is a flower bomb. It seems that Fernando knows this distance. The solid shell is difficult to cause fatal damage to the Ming army battleship. Its purpose is to kill a large number of sailors and destroy the Ming army canvas.

However, at this distance, the first round of firing usually has the nature of calibrated gun positions and demonstrations, with limited accuracy.

A large number of artillery shells fell into the sea, stirring up a column of water. The soldiers of the Ming Army who have not fought naval battles are obviously a little nervous and flustered. This is the result of Yang Ling deliberately letting them participate in sea pirates. Otherwise, the first battle would encounter an opponent with such a wealth of combat experience. Even if the firepower and warships of the Ming army are better than the opponent, I am afraid they will lose the battle silly.

Fortunately, the Fujian Navy had seen the power of Yang Ling "Thousands of People". In that massacre, most of the land was killed by the Navy. In addition, after Han Wu served as admiral of the navy, the soldiers were rigorous in governing the army. The soldiers were afraid of military discipline, so they were panicked and not confused, and still prepared nervously according to the order.

The first round of launch is completed. The gunner on the Fernando ship quickly adjusted the range and alignment, cleaned the barrel, and reloaded the heart-lifting bullets. The speed was extremely fast, and the second round of gunfire was fired again.

At the same time, the Ming army’s warships had been turned to the right position, and with the Han Wu’s order, it was like a rhythmic drum beat. The guns on the sides of the Ming military ships roared, and the sea was densely covered with smoke. The two sides only felt the waves hitting the sides of the ship and splashing on their bodies, but they could no longer see the other ship.

The Han Wu ship was hit by two bombs, one hit the aft deck. Because it was a bloom bomb, it did little damage to the hull, and the tail sail was damaged. A dozen soldiers were injured. The other crashed into the cabin and exploded in the cabin. Under the order of Han Wu, soldiers immediately used special water-drawing equipment to draw seawater and spray to extinguish the fire.

The gunners of the Ming army were also nervously wiping the barrels, removing the guns, and replacing them with new guns. As soon as Yang Ling obtained the drawings designed by Adeni, it immediately ordered the artificial wooden cannons to be sent to the navy division, so that the navy officers and soldiers could practice the skills of clearing the chamber and filling the bombs day and night. However, their actions were more The proficiency of the sailors on the pirate ship is still much inferior.

"The No. 1 cannon, change solid rounds, align the gun position, and prepare to launch!" Han Wu stood in command, not afraid.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The Spanish battleship once again took the lead and launched with the Ming army. The hull caused damage, and the pirate ship was replaced with solid bullets. Fortunately, the blessed ship was huge, and it was not harmful to fall on the ship. Only one bullet fell on the side of the ship, smashing sawdust, a cannon was bounced off, and several soldiers were injured.

The soldiers panicked. Han Wu drew his sword in his hand and shouted sharply: "What is it? Fight back, the Western pirates battleship is also made of wood, blast it!"

The steering of the battleship was completed. At this time, the Western ship was reloading bombs again, and the artillery of the Ming army was ready to go because it was one round late. Taking this opportunity, Han Wu boldly ordered the battleship to approach a little diagonally.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom~"

"Boom! Boom! Boom~"

The artillery shells of the Ming army just poured out, and the artillery of the Spanish battleship also rang. Both ships were hit hard. Solid bullets, hollow bullets, and shotguns were fired simultaneously, and the hull, sails, and soldiers were all hit hard.

With the remaining space of the boat, the two sides missed each other across a section of the sea, and they had to turn the rudder back to find the best combat distance and angle. Taking advantage of this short opportunity, Fernando and Han Wu hurriedly issued orders to rescue the fire, save people, adjust the artillery position and transport ammunition, and make urgent preparations.

The number of artillery and the rate of fire on board the Ming army completely exceeded Fernando's imagination, which shocked him. Although he did not suffer from the results of the battle, there was a huge gap in psychological expectations. It still made the pirate leader a great sense of crisis.

The other Spanish pirate ship "Adventure" was not as lucky as Fernando.

On the battlefield, sometimes a small matter, a wrong perception or judgment can change the entire battle. It is not uncommon for a momentary carelessness to cause a party to lose in a muddy lake. There was a funny story about the potato'sinking' a submarine during World War II.

And this unlucky Spanish battleship was just lost to the negligence. As soon as the firefight was exchanged, the "Adventure" found that the number of artillery of the two Ming warships was slightly better than it, but the rate and angle of the "Adventure" artillery can be adjusted flexibly. Soon after the two sides fought, the two Ming warships were completely suppressed by it, and they had to passively resist while moving.

Alva, the captain of the ‘Adventure’, suddenly became concerned. At this time, the "non-resistance" artillery attack of the Majestic and Weiyuan had knocked down Cao Tianchong's three pirate ships, completely losing their mobility and combat capabilities.

Then the two Ming warships glided past the pirate ship, using rockets and flying nozzles for the last round of close fire pouring. When their hulls appeared completely under the cover of the stern of the pirates, they were already behind. A sea of ​​fire, blazing flames.

Immediately, the two ships "Mighty Feng" and "Weiyuan" approached the majestic Spanish battleship "Adventure". Relief for the friend ship. The'Weichang' was severely damaged, the main sail and tail sail were broken, the middle cabin caught fire, and its combat effectiveness was basically lost. The'Wizard' cruised around the'Adventure', constantly firing artillery to attract its attention. In order to prevent it from launching a destructive attack on the "Weichang" that has lost its mobility and combat capabilities.

At this tense moment, the two unscathed and high morale warships of'Mighty Feng' and'Weiyuan' and the battle group made the soldiers of'Weichang' in a desperate situation, and at the same time,'Weisheng' There is also a tacit understanding of the word "Adventure" in the center.

Such a formation. Once the guns are fired on the side, no matter which direction the Adventure is attacking, no matter how each other's warships adjust the direction, there is always an angle of the Ming army to attack it. The Adventure must have a short moment of falling into a dead end.

The sound of guns on the battlefield just now, coupled with his own opponents, Alva did not notice the two battleships "bullying" Cao Tianchong, one of which was equipped with artillery that was not weaker in speed and performance.

Alva, who has seen the power of the'Weichang' and'Weisheng' artillery, judged that with his own speed, he would not suffer in this siege. He wanted to take advantage of the encirclement of the Ming army. When the artillery fired slowly, it forcibly broke into the center of the two warships, making the opponent's artillery fire.

If he is lucky enough, he fires artillery on both sides, and he may wipe out two Ming warships in one fell swoop. The wrong judgment made Alva lead the "Adventure" to start an adventure.

In the first round of launch during the approaching process of the two sides, the ‘Mighty’ was not willing to make a tentative launch because it was equipped with only half of the new artillery. Only shells of heavy artillery were fired. At the moment of the Spanish warship turning rudder, adjusting sails, and changing gunpowder. The ‘Mighty’, which was supposed to turn the rudder and leave, used the gap to re-adjust the launch angle to reload the ammunition, unexpectedly rushed forward. There is no intention to leave at all.

Alva said in amazement: "God, we are adventurous, they are going crazy, are they going to hit us with a boat? Hurry up, full rudder left, avoid them! It's great to be here, hurry up and fill up the bomb. Hell these lunatics".

"Boom~~~", when'Mighty Wind' pulled the distance to sixty feet, the side sails turned abruptly, the ship turned at sea, and the muzzle of the first cannon was aimed while the hull was moving.' During the time of Adventure, the muzzle trembled, and a solid bullet flew out, accurately hitting the stern side of the Adventure.

Immediately afterwards, the muzzle of the second gun flashed to the right angle, and the tailboard was shot. Fifteen solid bullets hit thirteen, smashing the stern of the Spanish "Adventure" to the ship's side and the deck. One projectile pierced the bottom of the ship, and the sea began to gurgle.

Fernando’s battleship retired from the battle circle and was waiting for the drums to fight again. He was surprised to find the situation of the "Adventure". He immediately ordered the battleship to approach the friend ship, hoping to cover it and exit the battle together.

Han Wu discovered Fernando's intentions, and immediately ordered the four warships in Battlefield One to encircle them with semaphores. Fernando approached the other pirate ship calmly. At this time, he had discovered that the bow of the Adventure was slightly tilted and the tail was sinking gradually. It seemed that the bottom of the ship had been damaged.

Now that it is impossible to protect the Adventurer from leaving together, perhaps we can take them over, then rush out of the encirclement and escape back to Luzon. Fernando approached nervously, while watching the encircled Ming ship, looking for a weak port so that he could rush out immediately after picking up his partner.

But at this moment, there was a cannon blast in the distance~IndoMTL.com~ The pirates were shocked to find that there were seven more Ming giant ships with their sails rushing towards them.

"My God!" Fernando groaned desperately, looking at the approaching battleship.

"What should we do? Captain!" First Mate Anthony ran over in a panic and asked loudly.

Fernando slowly scanned the temporarily calm sea. On the way back, the main battleship of the Ming army had already turned its head, staring at it with intent. The other three warships also formed an impact formation, which can enter the attack angle in the shortest time. And that battleship...

What to do? What else can I do?

Han Wu noticed Peng Xiaochao’s battleship, and the two sides quickly negotiated an attack plan with semaphores, forming a double siege. At this moment, they found that a blood red pennant was slowly rising on the pirate ship. Go straight to the top of the pole.

The tragic song sounded from the two ships: "We are pirates, ferocious pirates. We are holding a wine bottle in our left hand and treasures in our right. We are pirates, capable pirates..."

The blood-red Saint George flag, hunting in the wind...
