0519 Reinforcements
When the other pirate ships saw the two ships stopped, they all surrounded them like sharks smelling blood! Each ship is surrounded by at least five pirate ships! The pirates threw hooks and hooks one after another, and Jiang firmly hooked the other ship, and then jumped over with knives and axes in hand to fight the sailors!
Not to be outdone, the sailors were not to be outdone! They formed a formation with the soldiers of the Marine Corps and resisted desperately! The musketeers standing on the ship's tower and mast also kept firing their firearms. For a while, the sound of fire and shouting and killing were everywhere!
But they are not as numerous as pirates! The first to die were the masts and the firecrackers on the ship's tower! They were soon killed and wounded by a multitude of bows and arrows and birds! And then the sailors and marines on the deck also fell! Only the wounded in the cabin were left, blocking the hatch of the ship and preventing the pirates from rushing into the cabin!
Wu Yizhou raised his binoculars and looked from afar, and saw the people on the two boats falling one after another, and his heart was like a knife at the moment! The people on both ships were brothers and sisters who had shared his weal and woe for years! Wu Yizhou can even call everyone's name! But now they are under siege by the pirates!
Not only Wu Yizhou was furious, but even the officers and soldiers beside him were also stunned! One of the soldiers exclaimed, "General, let's go and save them!" ”
Wu Yizhou put down the binoculars and shook his head and said, "It's too late!" And if we go back, we'll only sink ourselves in. But this revenge is not avenged, and it is not a man! ”
At this moment, a huge explosion came out, Wu Yizhou looked up, and a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky! It turned out that the soldiers on one ship ignited the powder keg on the ship and blew the entire ship to pieces! Shattered planks, sawdust, and shockwaves swept across the surrounding seas, enveloping all five ships in the vicinity!
The soldiers on that ship were shattered, but the five pirate ships around him were also affected! The hull is badly damaged, and the deck is littered with corpses! Occasionally, one or two uninjured pirates also held their heads and wailed! The explosion of gunpowder on the whole ship, the huge shock wave will cause a lot of concussive damage to their internal organs and brains, whether they can survive or not depends on luck!
This explosion stunned all the pirates! They don't understand at all how this could happen? In the eyes of the pirates, it is good to surrender if they can't fight, how can anyone risk their lives for victory? This is a kind of bravery and fierceness that they can't understand!
The other pirates, who were besieging another ship, felt a chill in their hearts and felt in a dilemma. I don't know if it's better to fight or run away?
Before they could make a decision, the only remaining sailors on the ship were inspired by their companions to ignite the powder keg on board! Another violent explosion
Fried, the same rises a black and red mushroom cloud! Five ships in the perimeter suffered heavy losses under the blast! It's basically no combat power!
Wu Yizhou put down the binoculars and saluted the burning sea, and tears couldn't stop falling! He wiped his face fiercely and shouted, "Turn right 90 degrees!" Ships shoot freely! ”
As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win! The self-detonation of the two ships took away not only the enemies of the nearest ten ships, but also the courage of the other pirates! The pirates hesitated.
And the soldiers, who were full of thoughts of avenging their comrades, exerted their greatest combat effectiveness! They kept passing the enemy ships and poured their maximum firepower on them! For a time, Wu Yizhou suppressed a large number of fleets with a small number of ships!
After a fierce and short fight, Wu Yizhou beat the two ships of the pirates to the sea, and after the six boats were injured to varying degrees, Wu Yizhou's anger was weakened a little, and he was ruthless! And only then lead the fleet away from the opponent.
The explosion of the two ships also caused a brief pause on the battlefield, which divided into two distinct camps. Taking this opportunity, Wu Yizhou ordered: "The four ships that were seriously damaged were abandoned, and all the personnel were dispersed to each ship. All the abandoned ships were set on fire! ”
Taking advantage of the short armistice, the fleet quickly completed the transfer. The wounded were also properly accommodated. The craftsmen who accompanied the ship hurried to repair the sails, the hull. Wu Yizhou grabbed the kettle and took a few sips and said, "Tell the brothers to hurry up and eat dry food, and there will be a fierce battle soon." ”
Sure enough, a moment later, Zheng Zhilong sent ten more ships as reinforcements. The pirates, who had been replenished, pounced on them again, and the battle began again.
The two sides were entangled for about half an hour, and almost at the same time they discovered that a fleet of ships was coming at full speed due north of the sea!
Zheng Zhilong held the single-barreled telescope and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with a sneer: "It seems that this is their reinforcement!" But it's not much, it's just about forty ships! Put a signal, let our people speed up and get closer, and encircle them! ”
Wu Yizhou was also lecturing on his side, but his morale-boosting words were a bit special. He sent the order down and said, "Tell the brothers that our reinforcements have arrived, let everyone hold on!" Victory must be ours! ”
With reinforcements on the battlefield, the fighting was once again suspended. Both sides were waiting for the approach of that fleet.
At this time, the lookouts of both sides shouted almost simultaneously: "There is a fleet due south approaching!" That's a lot! ”
Wu Yizhou and Zheng Zhilong also raised their binoculars almost at the same time and looked south. Wu Yizhou looked
With that huge fleet, the face couldn't help but change! Because the number of that fleet is extremely large, close to a hundred!
And Zheng Zhilong was delighted! He felt that now that Liu Pei's reinforcements had been fished out, it was time to do his best to annihilate them!
The fleets of both sides came quickly, and then they came together, forming a situation of confrontation between the two groups. Zheng Zhifeng jumped onto Zheng Zhilong's boat with the help of a rope and said loudly: "Big brother! I'm coming! I'm not late, am I? ”
Zheng Zhilong smiled: "It's not too late, it's just right!" Tell the brothers to move and kill them once and for all. ”
After speaking, Zheng Zhilong personally waved the order flag and ordered half of the fleet to attack. Seeing the Lingqi, the huge fleet immediately scattered and rushed towards the other party. But as soon as Zheng Zhilong's fleet started, before it had time to disperse, Zheng Zhilong discovered a strange scene! The opposite flotilla collapsed! Many ships fled in all directions!
This can make Zheng Zhilong stunned! He knew how difficult the opponent who was still fighting to the death just now was. There are even warriors who do not hesitate to die with their opponents, how could they break up after the reinforcements arrived?
So Zheng Zhilong asked strangely, "What's going on?" Why did it suddenly fall apart? ”
Zheng Zhifeng didn't know how this happened, he also kept watching with a telescope. However, Zheng Zhifeng's eyesight is better, and he can see more clearly in the monoculars. He suddenly said, "I seem to recognize a few people's boats!" ”
Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ”
Zheng Zhifeng was still holding the telescope and talking while watching. "I recognize a ship." The ship was a small pony with an old stammerer at the head. ”
He paused and said, "Recognize another one." It's a flying shark. If I'm not mistaken. Those who broke up should be those who ate the sea in small groups. ”
Zheng Zhilong also picked up the telescope and looked at it carefully. With Zheng Zhifeng's reminder, he said after a while: "I seem to recognize one too." He also came to Nagasaki to see me. He was a small group of men with only two ships under his command. ”
Zheng Zhifeng laughed and said, "I understand what's going on!" These people must have been bought by the red-eyed snake. They didn't know it was us who they were going to play today! Now he recognized us when he saw the banner, so he didn't dare to fight us, so he fled! ”
Zheng Zhilong laughed when he heard this, and said, "What you said is very likely! It seems that the red-eyed snake is poor in donkey skills! You can only buy some small shares! This meeting is messed up! ”
Zheng Zhifeng put down the binoculars and said, "What about these people? Let them run away first and then settle the score? ”
