Chapter 154 The Lantian Fleet, which is strong outside and dry in the middle

Yushan Academy taught Han Xiufen the first reason for being a man - Lao Tzu is his own master!

Originally, Yun Zhao thought that it was a matter of calling an independent personality, but the bastards in the academy thought that it was more direct to the hearts of the people.

In the academy, you can say that you are someone else's father, you can call yourself an old lady, and it doesn't matter.

Once you say that you are Lao Tzu's slave or something, the matter is very serious.

You can't afford to eat a lavish meal worth one gold coin without being invited.

Now that she heard about the more serious reputation violation, Han Xiufen decided to use her long knife to get justice for herself.

After the battle axe from top to bottom was blocked by the thin long knife, the giant man held the battle axe with both hands and pushed it forward, Han Xiufen's feet were like taking root, and the muscles of the giant man's arms were raised, but he couldn't take a step forward.

In his eyes, the woman in front of him was just a black-haired woman who looked a little strong, he never expected that this woman's strength would be so great, those arms that didn't look thick were like steel cast iron, not only could he not take a step forward, but was pushed back slowly by this woman.

At this moment, in the face of Han Xiufen's fierce eyes, the giant man finally didn't dare to stare at Han Xiufen, nor did he dare to withdraw his tomahawk, he only hoped that his partners could see the dilemma here and help him.

It's a pity that these people who seem to be ordinary in naval battles, but the hand-to-hand combat is surprising, they are like a precise killing machine, no matter how many opponents they encounter, they use a team of six people to meet them, and they can win the battle.

It's a damn army.

The giant man was pushed back slowly by Han Xiufen, and when he leaned back against the rudder, he finally had no way to retreat, and he could only push the tomahawk and long knife in his hand back to the center line with all his strength.

Unfortunately, with the woman's loud roar, an unrivaled force came from the tomahawk, and the back of the heavy tomahawk smashed against the face of the great sweat, and he could clearly hear the click of his jawbone shattering.

Immediately afterward, his whole body and even his soul were overwhelmed by pain.

Pei Yulin led a team to guard the exit of the cabin, constantly blocking back the Dutch who wanted to leave the cabin with spears and grenades, and glanced in the direction where Han Xiufen was, and immediately withdrew his eyes.

The giant man, who was two heads taller than Han Xiufen, was now suffering from Han Xiufen's stormy blows, like banana leaves in a rainstorm......

When Han Xiufen withdrew his fist, the giant man fell limply under the rudder.

The rudder was very high and big, and Han Xiufen's arm span was not enough, so she stepped on the giant man's body and began to calmly control the battleship.

And Pei Yulin and the others had already cleaned the deck, so they used grenades to open the way and search the cabin layer by layer.

When the Karak galleon left the Dutch fleet and rammed straight into the second Karak galleon, the second Karak galleon, which was fighting against Liu Mingliang and Zhang Chuanli, was caught in the middle and received the baptism of artillery fire, and there was no time to care about it.

The result of the collision between the two giant ships at sea was tragic, and after a squeaking sound of wood breaking, the two ships were firmly fitted together, and the pirates who jumped from the Lantian jumped from the first sailing ship to the second.

Bard felt like he was going to die, the number of Black Pirates around him was getting smaller and smaller, and the number of filthy Dutch sailors on the other side was getting bigger and bigger.

Just when his arms were numb and he was about to lose his knife, there was a sudden loud bang from the big ship under his feet, and the left deck collapsed in an instant.

Instead of collapsing downwards, they flew upwards, and the Dutch, who had been tightly besieging Bard, were reduced by half in an instant.

Bard was also propelled by this tremendous thrust into the Dutch water swarm.

Lying on the deck, you can see a huge hole in the side of the ship, and the sea water is rushing into the cabin frantically.

Sensing that the ship was about to sink, Bard didn't bother to entangle with the Dutch sailors beside him, grabbed a cable, and swung out without hesitation.

When he reached his highest point, Bard let go of the cable with a yell, and that's when he had the time to look at his surroundings—there were boats everywhere, but none of them were paying attention to him.

Falling into the sea with a "poof", Bud grabbed a tattered plank and shook the water off his face to catch his breath, when his eyes opened and he saw a large shadow looming over him.

"No!"

Bard let out a desperate cry and slipped into the water.

The two warships fired at each other at a distance of less than ten feet, and at this distance, no matter what kind of shells could inflict great damage on each other.

The ship's side shattered, the fire flew, and the sea seemed to be awakened from its slumber by the war, and the undulating waves would drag the two ships together, and then throw them away after a while.

The close combat gave the Lantian pirates great convenience, and when the Lantian pirate flags appeared on the three Karak warships one after another, an armed merchant ship guarding the tail of the fleet sailed through the exit of the Strait of Malacca with a puff of smoke.

However, judging by the already blazing sails on their ship, they couldn't get far.

One ship fled, but the other two heavily damaged armed merchant ships had no intention of escaping, and one of them even ignored the fire on his own ship, left the fleet sequence, and decisively approached the only remaining Karak galleon, using his hull to resist the fire of the Lantian pirates.

Under heavy artillery bombardment, the hopeless armed merchant ship was shattered, the gunpowder in the cabin was ignited by the red-hot shells, and after a loud bang, a wave of air mixed with broken wood scattered in all directions.

A huge armed merchant ship, after only a few breaths, the only remaining cabin sank, and the rest of him became the garbage of the sea and drifted with it.

Han Xiufen returned to the Lantian early, the ship was also badly damaged, the side of the ship was full of big holes, fortunately, most of the holes were above the waterline, and a group of Lantian pirates were hurriedly repairing the battleship.

From the telescope, Han Xiufen could clearly see that Wang Tong was chasing the nimble native boats with the No. 6 ship and Leonie's armed merchant ship, which had been converted into a battleship, and was chasing those nimble native boats from left to right.

Although there was always a dense rain of arrows falling, this was not a problem for the two giant ships.

They didn't even use their artillery, but used the giant crossbows in the bow to shoot through the small boats that tried to get close to their ships one by one.

sometimes

After these desperate natives tore off the camouflage on the ships, the small boats soon turned into fireships, and they followed the current towards the giant ship.

"Recall Leonie and Wang Tong, such entanglement is meaningless."

Pei Yulin, who returned to the ship together, immediately pulled up the flag calling for Leonie and Wang Tong to return.

Two giant armed merchant ships threw their grenades and smashed the small fireships blocking the road, joining the battle that was nearing its end.

The Dutch were still stubborn, and the tide of the battle had inevitably slipped in an unpredictable direction just when they mistakenly thought that their gangs were better than the pirates.

Lantian County used a large number of short firearms, crossbows, grenades and other melee weapons, which made the Dutch proud of their close combat, completely losing the threat.

In this battle, in terms of the use of artillery, the Lantian bandits were far inferior to the Dutch, as long as you look at the battleships that the blue sky pirates were almost destroyed.

If the battle had not been at the narrowest part of the strait, but on the wide sea, the Dutch, who were more adept at handling their ships, would have smashed the ships of the Lantian pirates one by one in the chase.

They were confused by Han Xiufen's glorious naval exploits in the past.

They thought they were going to face a group of pirates who were more dangerous than sharks, a group of pirates who were better at maneuvering ships than the best sailors, and they didn't even know that they were going to face a group of bandits who had just arrived at sea from land.

With the return of Leonie and Wang Tong, the Dutch, who had been suppressed in the cabin by the blue sky pirates, finally surrendered.

Immediately after, a white-bearded captain blew a brass trumpet with tears in his eyes.

The Dutch battle flags hanging from the masts also slowly fell.

One by one, the Dutch sailors, who were still fighting, fell silent, laid down their weapons, sat down on the deck, some lit pipes, and some drank wine.

If you are defeated, you can just accept the fate of defeat.

The sea has never been merciful to anyone, victory is something that only God can control, as a sailor, as a warrior, as long as he is in charge of fighting.

Now, it was God's will that made them fail.

After the Lantian pirates completely controlled these dilapidated ships, Han Xiufen found that he only had three ships left to continue fighting.

Two of the six merchant converted Blackfish ships are still floating on the water, and the remaining four have all sunk.

Although the three warships converted from the more powerful armed merchant ships were not sunk, they were already in tatters, and now, they can only be regarded as barely floating on the sea.

Seven of the Dutch's ships were also in tatters, and the escaped armed merchant ship was parked not far off the coast, and the fire on board had not yet been extinguished, but the fire quickly detonated the gunpowder in the cabin, and a ball of fire rose and was soon gone.

Bard was furious and wanted to kill all the captives, but was knocked out by Han Xiufen with a punch.

In this battle, the most serious losses were the Black Pirates, with a loss of nearly 2,000 men.

Han Xiufen went to see every ship, and also visited all the injuries, for now, there is no way for such a fleet to return to the home port of Paradise Island.

The Malacca River in front of you has become the most convenient harbor, and King Muhammad can find enough people to haul these damaged ships into the Malacca River for repairs.

So, Bad, who had woken up leisurely, took a small sampan and carried a white flag to King Muhammad to discuss the matter of entering the Malacca River for repairs.

After all, the war between the Lantian people and Muhammad had just ended, and it was time to discuss peaceful coexistence.

This time, Han Xiufen made a condition that King Muhammad could not refuse - to divide the captured Dutch and captured artillery in half with him.
