Tu Qian always glanced at these soldiers with his eyes, they had followed him in the rain of guns and arrows for many years, but tonight was the time to fight to the death, because the ships parked on the sea, whether they were Japanese or Ming, or foreigners, would not be the sailors of the Qing Dynasty, in short, they would be mortal enemies.

"Brothers, you and I have been wandering for many years, and I originally thought that we could have a happy life, but this time is the time when we fight to the death, no matter which ship on the sea is, there are always good and good people who do not come, so tonight, we attacked it with a clipper, and this victory is all up to your brothers...... "I wanted to say something, my lips trembled twice, but I didn't say it, I only yelled" ...... Wine comes! ”

On the empty field in the fort, three hundred dead soldiers lined up neatly in a phalanx, the soldiers were all naked, with fire gourds hanging from their necks, short knives under their ribs, braids on the back of their heads tightly coiled on their heads, and their bodies were tied up and down, all of them looked clean, and a murderous aura that seemed to be there permeated the crowd.

As soon as the smell of wine filled the castle, the three hundred dead soldiers each put the wine bowl in their hands flat, and their eyes were fixed on Tu Qianzong in front.

"Serve the country loyally and fight bravely to kill the enemy." Three hundred people shouted with Tu Qian, and the liquor entered the stomach, igniting a thousand pride and murderous spirits.

The wee hours of the morning are often the darkest times, and this time is also the best time to sneak attack, and more importantly, the last rays of the moon that are about to disappear reflect the figure of the big ship at sea.

"Sir, the enemy ships have gone to sea, a total of six fast crabs."

"Immediately send a signal to the fleet."

On the flagship Minjiang, the signalman interprets the information according to the signal.

Alert ...... Alert...... Enemy ships attacked six fast crabs...... Alert ......"

"Coming" Yue Xiaofei was stunned in his heart, and the first naval battle in his life officially began.

"Raise the battle alarm. Command each ship to turn on the navigation lights, connect the power, and slow maneuvering. At the same time, all Barracuda-class sorties intercept and attack as soon as they are discovered. ”

Yue Xiaofei said this, and the signalman over there had already pressed the handle of the signal light, controlling the closed loose leaf to flash and emit bright light. Someone on the side shook the siren, and the piercing screech was like the lightning bolt that pierced the silence of the night sky. Navigation lights were lit at the corners of the masts and stern of the ships, as were searchlights, and the sea was immediately covered with large circles of searchlights and small circles of light on crossbow and slingshot grenade projectiles.

This gas lamp is made on the principle of a flashlight, and the light can also be shot out nearly 100 meters through the variable distance and the porcelain condenser at the rear.

Twenty Barracuda-class speedboats were grouped in two teams, led by the first and second officers of each ship, and fanned out towards the coast.

The blackened Barracuda-class speedboat sped forward. It is a trimaran, two twelve-meter-long torpedo-shaped sealed cabins immersed in water, with a displacement of nearly twenty tons, behind the sealed cabins are two wooden seven-bladed tail oars, which are longitudinal by the rudder ** on the 1.5-meter-high conning tower in the middle of the ship, because there is no need for sails, the hull can be sealed except for the middle conning tower and the inter-catapult in the bow and the crossbow launcher in the rear.

Cheng was at the helm of one of them, followed by another speedboat he commanded. Cheng Zhaoji loved this kind of speedboat very much, and the strength of thirty people gathered together, passed through two chains to the two flower plates outside the boat, and finally passed to the screw in the water by two long chains arranged in a triangle at the stern. The speed of this speedboat is extremely fast, and the four hydrofoils under the pontoons on both sides make the speedboat almost jump out of the sea at high speeds. "Barracuda level, it doesn't match the truth, it should be called Flying Fish class."

The main searchlights on the speedboat and the tactical spotlights on the front and rear weapons were all turned on, and the pillars of light rowed around the sea in search of enemy ships. If anyone still has any doubts about manpower propellers, look no further than the first submarines built in the world.

"Finding the target" Because the main searchlight is astigmatism, and Zheng Zhaoji's eyesight is excellent, he is the first to make a discovery. "The enemy fast crab has been found in the direction of twelve o'clock" Zheng Sen shouted loudly to the front and rear gunners, and the steering wheel in his hand was twisted slightly, and it had deviated about 20 degrees to the left, so that the weapons in the front and rear could fire at the same time.

Fast crabs, as the name suggests, are not only long and narrow in the hull, but also have nearly 30 pairs of oars stretched out, which are more like the crab's eight-legged speed, plus the two sides and four corners of the hard sails. The ship is very fast and agile in close combat, and the oarsmen on board have a layer of planks above their heads (which is not found on historical ships) to shield them from arrows and protect them well. This is the fastest ship that Zheng Zhaoji has ever seen before the Barracuda class, but it is not a little worse than the Barracuda class.

At this time, the grenade throwers of the two boats led by Cheng Zhaoji had already fired at the enemy ship at a speed of 30 rounds per minute, and because the distance was still far away and it was difficult to distinguish the distance, the grenades fired either blew up indiscriminately in front of the enemy ship, left and right, and none of them hit the enemy ship.

The leader of the centipede ship, a general, was quietly marching when suddenly the rumbling cannon sounded, and the hull of the ship shook incessantly. Just as he was in shock, the hatch above his head was suddenly lifted, and a pawn on the deck stretched out his head and shouted, "My lord, it's not good, my ship is illuminated by the demon light from somewhere, and many flowering cannonballs are falling from the sky without a sound......

"Boom" There was a not very strong explosion, and the little soldier was swept into the cabin by a wave of air, twisting twice to show that he was dead.

"What......" The soldier who always kicked away the corpse of the soldier who fell on him and crawled backwards to the deck.

As soon as I got on the deck, I was busy crouching on the thick wood on the side of the ship, and looked out. The night sky was dark, and all I could see was rows of beans and fires moving rapidly on the surface of the sea, "Fuck, what is this?" Suddenly, he felt the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air behind him, and he didn't have time to think about the next one rolling on the spot, and as soon as he hidden, he looked up, but saw a row of short arrows inserted in the place where he had just stood. Looking up at the boat again, I saw a dazzling bright light,

"Boom...... Boom ......" In the roar of the ship's continuous sounds, flowering bombs exploded on all sides, and the screams of the stern helmsman were endless. The ship also clearly deviated to one side.

The general manager didn't think much about it, and hurriedly crawled towards the stern. When he came inside, he saw that the four helmsmen there were dead. With tears rolling down his eyes, he put aside the dead helmsman and stepped forward to hold the rudder steadily. The mouth shouted "Rush!" Kill"

At this time, a voice was also shouting loudly and faintly in his ears, and he knew that this night attack was over.

"Blow up the stern of the ship, without the helmsman, the ship will be considered a waste......!"

"Sir, there are a total of six enemy ships attacking, all six of them were damaged and captured, and a total of more than 200 enemy soldiers have been captured, and the specific number is being counted. There were not a single casualty among our troops. ”

"Okay, tell the commanders that the whole army is on alert, the day is about to dawn, and when the sky is bright, we will rush to the beach and land."
