"Your Excellency Famaitu," Qiu Darui hurriedly persuaded when he saw that Deputy General Da Shi was opposing, "The official and military departments are planning to do this bureau in order to wipe us out. The sea route is definitely a dead end. He said the big food language, and although the Great Song pirates next to him couldn't understand it, they guessed a little bit and watched it with fierce eyes. Qiu Darui put aside others to discuss with the big cannibal, and the pirate leaders of the Song Kingdom were a little dissatisfied, but they were forced to bear it for the time being because of his wealth and strength, and the force of the big food was strong.

"Break out by road?" Another lieutenant, Aboud, looked at Qiu Darui with disdain and said loudly: "You coward! Swindler! ”

Abd was fluent in Chinese, and probably understood Qiu Darui's words that he wanted the Song pirates to disperse after breaking through the siege, and he said loudly to Famaitu: "Your Excellency, don't believe this liar's words, just now he let the Song pirates scatter and flee by land, and the faces of these pagans from the East are scattered among the inhabitants like a handful of sand sprinkled on the sand dunes. They can easily escape, however, our big cannibals and Orientals do not look the same, and they are as obvious as fireflies in the night. This cunning man, who instigated His Excellency the Commander to break through by land, not only opened the way for him, but also attracted the attention of the enemy, was a liar. ”

Abd spoke the language of the Great Food, and the officers who understood the Great Diet glared angrily, and Qiu Darui loudly defended: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood," he motioned to the guards in front of him to get out of the way, walked up to Famaitu, and said in a deep voice, "I, Qiu, can swear to the sky, once we break through the city of defending the sea, the sea ships required by your department will be wrapped in Qiu someone's body, and if you violate this oath, you will be willing to suffer five thunderstorms from the sky!" His expression was solemn, and in a hurry, this oath could be described as loud, however, not only did the officer not believe it, but the contempt in his eyes deepened, and even Famaitu took a step back and looked at Qiu Darui with disgust. In the Roman-Turkic Empire, both the Great Cannibals and the Turkic people believed in the Great Food Religion, and casual swearing was forbidden by the scriptures, and was disgusted and punished by the gods.

"I swear that only heretics can do it, and it's really a heretic!"

"How can the fox's oath be believed?!"

"No matter how nice you say, empty words can't build a house."

Sayifu Ding smeared a mouthful of phlegm in front of Qiu Darui: "Heretic, not only a coward, but also a liar!" Our navy plus the pirates of the Song Kingdom has more than ten times more troops than the Song Navy, but you coward is so frightened that you want to abandon the ship and run away?! ”

"He has gathered so many people, but he still has to rely on us to attack Guangzhou, just because the true god is not on his side!"

"This is the people of the Song Kingdom, no matter how many sheep there are, they are still sheep, can you expect the fox to drive the sheep and go to war with the shepherd dogs?"

The big food general, every word you say to me is ridicule and humiliation, Qiu Darui understands the big food language, and he only pales when he hears it. If it weren't for the situation, he would never have pleaded with these barbarians so lowly, and the clinker was so humiliated. He looked at Famaitu, his expression changed, and he was still thinking repeatedly in his heart about how to convince this brute to break through by land.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "boom-" "boom-" in the distance.

The Great Eater Officer and the pirate leader all turned their heads to look, only to see black smoke rising from the surface of the river, and columns of water rising into the sky.

"Not good!" Qiu Darui's face changed suddenly, there was still an argument here, and the South China Sea Sailor had already launched an attack.

The action of the South China Sea Naval Division opened fire quickly, and the big food warships on the river did not react at all, and the first salvo was completed.

Although it was only a salvo, it brought huge losses to the Great Food Battleship.

Never before has the Great Food Navy not been subjected to such heavy shelling. The side guns of the Song Navy Division's warships opened fire one after another, and one after another shells whistled through the air. Although the Great Food Navy also fired back, with the firepower of one or two iron barrel guns in the bow and stern, it could not be compared with the fierce artillery fire of the Song army. Shells from both sides fell on the sea, splashing high columns of water. And the shells of the Great Food Navy fell on the warships of the Song army, and they were often bounced off by thick wooden planks. However, the cannonballs of the Song army fell on the deck of the Great Food Warship, and most of them were able to penetrate the board of the ship, creating huge holes one after another. This is because the Great Food warships were mostly rebuilt from Song merchant ships, unlike the South China Sea Navy warships, which used thickened keels and ship boards, and could not resist the bombardment of artillery shells at all. What's even more deadly is that the Song warship deliberately fired its cannon below the waterline of the Great Food Warship, and the shell hit caused a huge loophole.

After the first volley, below the decks of several Great Eclipse ships, the Great Eclipse sailors could only soak in the sea to mend their holes.

However, the sea water rushed into the bilge like a torrent, and the sailors could not get close to the hole, but were washed away by the thick planks, ropes and other repair materials, and soon the entire bilge was soaked in the seawater. These bilge sailors were the lowest in the Great Diet Navy, either poor, prisoners of war, heretics, or those who had made mistakes and were punished. Whether in battle or peacetime, the hatch leading to the upper deck was forever locked by the people on the upper deck, and the sailors who had no way to escape knocked desperately on the hatch, however, the sailors on the upper deck were panicking, and none of the ship's bilge doors were opened, and as the sea rushed in, the people wailed and prayed in despair, and the water gradually overflowed overhead, and the Great Food Warship began to sink slowly.

"Well done!" Liu Zhijian happily slammed his fist on the railing and said to Zhao Xingde, "These guys are not practicing in vain!" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Xingde nodded slightly, but there was no smile on his face, "But it's not enough." ”

This round of shelling caused heavy losses to the Great Eater ships behind the palace, but the entire pirate fleet was more than ten times more powerful than the sailors. "The shipping lanes must be blocked, and then you can be at ease!" Zhao Xingde let out a sigh, pointed not far away, and ordered: "Sink those ships that dare to rush up first!" Liu Zhijian followed his finger and saw that among the chaotic big food warships, several were slowly sinking, some seemed to want to rush up for melee combat, and the others turned around and fled into the harbor.

"Alright, sink these early birds!" Liu Zhijian said in a deep voice, and immediately ordered the flag officer to pass on the order.

Because of the rush of time, Liu Zhijian did not assign targets to each warship as he did before the war. However, the long-term sea drills made the commanders of all ships understand Zhao Xingde's military orders. With the issuance of a simple military order, each ship slightly adjusted its position, aimed the side gun windows at the enemy ships coming up, almost every ship ordered to fill the guns with double or even three gunpowder packs, after another round of fierce bombardment, the main mast of the enemy ship, the front and rear masts were successively broken by shells, the big sea-eating ship could not move on the river, one boat was ignited by the red hot bombs fired by the Song army, and the other two ran aground on the shallows by the river in a panic.

Every time the naval gunboat hit the Great Food-Sea Boat, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty on the shore erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

However, in the cabin of the warship, the sweaty gunners had no time to observe the results. As long as there is no order from above to stop firing cannons, they will scrub the chambers of the cannons, load the ammunition, restore the gun position, and fire at the enemy ships as long as they are trained. "Bang-" "Bang-" The huge sound of cannons, the blazing fire made the artillery deck as terrifying as hell, and every time the cannon was fired, the recoil made the hundreds of pounds of gun body retreat sharply, and the thick cable was pulled straight. Under the tremendous tension, the bulkheads connected to the cables make a "squeaking" and squeaking sound.

The entire cabin seemed to fall apart, and the heavy cast-iron cannon finally stopped at the end of the track.

"Don't be stunned!" As soon as the artillery stopped, the commander shouted: "Go! ”

The gunners all covered their ears with strips of cloth, but they all heard the order of the gunner, and immediately rushed up.

Some used thick cloths dipped in wet to cool down the guns, others used wet and dry guns to clear the breeches, and many more shirtless sailors carried ammunition up and down deck. It was the rule of sailors that they should never pile up too much ammunition on the gun deck, and they must not delay firing because of a lack of ammunition. At this moment, the hull of the ship creaked, and the side of the ship tilted towards the water, the gun window barely remained on the water, and the small spray of the water sprayed into the lower gunwales with a gushing mist.

"Hurry!" "Let's do it!" Above deck, the fire captain shouted a trumpet.

All the sailors turned the hard sails in unison, and the helmsman and the three sailors worked hard to rotate the steering wheel, and the direction of the wind and current impact on the warship changed suddenly, and under the control of the helmsman and the sail leader, the tall warship slowly turned its hull on the river in thrilling. The guns of the ships of the South China Sea Naval Division are mainly distributed on both sides of the ship, and when one side of the guns is fired, the ships need to turn the direction and let the other side of the gun position fire. This short period of time was the moment when the gunboats were most vulnerable to enemy ships, and it was also the most nervous moment for the sailors on board.

At this time, the rear gunboats sailed out of the gap in the array of gunboats in front, and the first and second columns of the horizontal formation of the sailors switched places.

This tactic has been practiced for a long time by the South China Sea Naval Division, and it was originally drilled for a frontal decisive battle on the open sea, and the front and rear positions were switched to cover the gunboats that had just fired once, thus shortening the time for two rounds of artillery by half. Because the river surface of the Pearl River is wide, it is barely open. In front of and behind the second column of gunboats, the fierce cannon fire rang out again. "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" One by one, the shells flew towards the big food warship that was circling in circles...... The Great Food Warship was bombarded with holes.

Not long after the Song army opened fire, the besieged Dashi warships were all sunk, and only the pointed masts were still exposed on the river.
