Soon the boat was docked on the empty trestle. The man at the head said, "We were one step too late, and the boat escaped." ”

The latter said, "Not necessarily! The red-eyed snake can deal with the big boss for so long, and he is not a person who has a false reputation! Where can it be so easy to be blocked by the big bosses! ”

The person who started said, "That's right." But this is not a place for gossip. ”

As soon as the two of them walked out of the dock, they were surrounded by soldiers sent by Li Dazhu. After checking that they were not carrying weapons, the soldiers escorted them to the gate of the cottage. Li Dazhu is waiting for them here. He didn't want them to enter the inside of the cottage, which would expose the actual strength of the cottage.

When the person who started the first saw Li Dazhu, he smiled and said, "I don't know this brother's surname?" But the man in charge of this island? ”

Li Dazhu did not wear a military uniform at this time, but dressed like an ordinary pirate. This gave the other party the illusion that Li Dazhu was an ordinary pirate boss. in their minds. A small pirate boss like Li Dazhu is the easiest to buy! Sometimes you don't have to buy him, you just need to threaten him to achieve your goal. But it was also known that pirates were generally bad-tempered. So this time he does not intend to use threatening means.

This is Li Dazhu said: "It's expensive!" A person who begs for a living at sea, how can he be so poor and exquisite? My surname is Li, and I have the final say on this island! ”

The person who came said again: "It turned out to be Brother Li in person!" In the next surname Zhou, the single word is a diligent word. Why, didn't Brother Li invite us to sit in the stockade? ”

Li Dazhu shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, we will see each other!" Let you go into the stockade to find out what is true and false? Forget it, let's talk about it here. ”

Zhou Qin said: "Brother Li is a refreshing person! Then I'll get straight to the point. He was sent by Zheng Longtou to be a lobbyist. As long as Brother Li can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and take refuge in Zheng Longtou, Zheng Longtou is willing to give this island to Brother Li as the foundation of his life! What do you think? ”

Li Dazhu said: "What's the use of that? I don't even have a boat, do I starve to death on the island? ”

Zhou Qin smiled and said: "Since the big boss has rewarded the island, how could he not think of giving a sea boat?" And Zheng Longtou will have another reward. Brother Li, you ......"

Li Dazhu interrupted Zhou Qin's words and said, "Stop! Don't say it! I can't be obedient to you! If you want an island, send someone to attack it! Drop-off! ”

As soon as Li Dazhu waved his hand after speaking, the person behind him forced the sharp knife over. Zhou Qin's expressions changed greatly, and after saying a few more words, seeing that Li Dazhu had no intention of answering, he boarded the ship and ran away!

Li Dazhu didn't mean any Tao Wen intelligence. Because sea warfare is different from land warfare, on a flat sea, unless you are far away, no one can ambush anyone! As long as you can count the ships, the approximate strength will be estimated.

Zhou Qin returned to the ship and reported the failure of persuasion. Zheng Zhilong had expected this situation, and after waving back Zhou Qin, Zheng Zhilong said to the people around him: "It seems that it is useless to persuade him to surrender. Then follow the plan to test the defense level of the island. I wonder which brother is willing to take the lead? ”

Gan Hui said: "I'd better go." ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Okay!" I'll send 20 boats to follow you to the event! ”

Gan Hui gave up. Soon, 20 seagoing ships were divided into the fleet and forced to import into the bay. The hilltop battery immediately spotted and reacted. Before they could get close to the range of the battery, the battery fired a cannonball from afar, causing a large splash at sea. This is a warning to the fleet! If you get any closer, the cannonballs will really come in!

But the flotilla remained unmoved, and still formed a long snake formation and accelerated towards the mouth of the bay. The boaters and sailers are veterans, and they can be sure that they can rush through the narrow passages of the bay at a relatively fast speed!

There was no movement after the warning fire from the battery. But as soon as the ship at the head entered the range of the battery, the hilltop battery rang out six cannon shots in a row! In order to defend Zheng Zhilong from seizing the channel, Liu Pei not only transported back five heavy artillery, but also temporarily added one.

Moreover, in the previous time, Li Dazhu did not involve the gunners in any labor, but ordered them to practice artillery skills non-stop. And on the edge of the cliff, bamboo poles of different lengths are inserted to assist in aiming! And it also creatively launched a set of fire.

The so-called concentrated fire shooting is that a special team is responsible for ranging and directing the shooting, which is the inspiration that Liu Pei got from the shooting method of warships in World War II. After measuring the approximate distance, the team can estimate the amount of shooting advance according to the speed and direction of the target, so as to obtain the initial shooting elements, and then calibrate the shooting elements according to the initial shooting elements, and then correct the shooting elements according to the impact point. Increased the accuracy of artillery fire. So these six guns are hitting quickly and accurately!

Although all six shells in the first round were missed, they actually formed a straddle fire! However, if a straddle is formed, it means that the speed and angle of the target are estimated very accurately, and hitting the target is a matter of luck and time!

Sure enough, in the second round, a cannonball accurately hit the side of the leading ship! Heavy artillery shells are no small feat! A big hole the size of a basin was punched directly in the side of the boat! Unfortunately, this hole is relatively high, close to the side of the ship, and has no effect on the navigation of the boat!

So the ship is still moving forward. The sailors even tried to raise their sails to speed up at this time, so as to avoid the shelling.

It is said that there is a saying in the British Navy's combat regulations that a warship should never fire at a fixed battery! There is a lot of truth in that. Because if the ship fires during the voyage, the low hit rate is scary for various reasons. The fixed turret, on the other hand, has a stable base. Once one shell hits, the other guns will have a much higher hit rate as long as they adjust the parameters accordingly.

Now the battery is like that. After a simple adjustment, the battery fired a third round of artillery. This time the artillery was extremely accurate! Two of the six shells hit directly! Four more shells also fell next to the hull, stirring up a huge column of water!

The two hit shells hit the side of the ship, making a huge gap in the side of the ship! As the sawdust flew, several sailors fell screaming, and for the first time the deck was stained with blood!

Another shell was very lucky, it hit the waterline directly! Salt water poured into the cabin from the basin-sized hole. The hull of the ship was a meal immediately!

And the ships behind seemed to be stunned by the battery's accurate guns, and lowered their sails to slow down the ship. The ship that was hit turned around and tried to leave! But how could the fort easily let this wounded prey escape? Just as it made a big turn and its speed was reduced to its lowest, the fourth round of shells hit!

Unfortunately, due to the over-excitement of the command team, the speed estimation was wrong, resulting in the failure of this round of shells! However, the shells landed very close to the ship, and the splash even landed on the deck of the ship! This scares the people of this boatload enough!

Zheng Zhilong, who had been staring at the fleet from afar, saw that the fleet had lost, but his expression did not change. He said to the people around him, "Send a signal to them to come back!" It seems that the island is well defended. ”

Shi Daxuan smiled and said, "It's okay, we have a second plan!" ”

A firework rises, which is a signal of withdrawal. The ships that had slowed down and were ready to turn around, the fleets that turned around and returned as if in amnesty. He couldn't even care about the leaky boat, leaving him far behind. Let him stagger back with a belly full of seawater.

The hilltop battery will send back the cottage with the news of the repulsion of the enemy convoy in the language of the flag. Cheers inside the fortress and cottage! And while the island is still completely controlled in their own hands. The hilltop battery also sent a messenger to the cottage to give Li Dazhu a detailed account of the entire process of shelling the convoy.

After learning the details of the process, Li Dazhu was keenly aware that the enemy seemed to have no determination to attack. The enemy's action just now was not so much an offensive as a relatively large-scale temptation.
