The cabin shook, and Chen Mu sneezed.

There was no trace at sea, and the long pursuit was far more difficult than the land battle, but fortunately they were able to catch up with the telescope and the centipede ship, and with their vision and speed, they lost three times and caught up three times.

The fleet has been stretched eight or nine miles away, relying on clippers to take care of it in the middle, even Deng Zilong's centipede ship has become a lighthouse on the sea, Chen Mu's ship is at the forefront alone, and it still keeps three or five miles with Zeng's fleet, and does not dare to get close.

The direction of the wind had changed, and the continuous rain had caused a lot of gunpowder on the ship to get wet, and Chen Mu didn't want to face the siege of dozens of ships alone.

The only advantage of avoiding the battle is to let the Xiangshan army get enough rest, although it is not comfortable to sleep in the cramped and damp cabin, but they are too tired, even if they sleep in the pigsty, as long as they let them sleep, Chen Qianhu's proud banner army will be very happy.

The sky is beautiful, two days of rain and rain finally saw the light of day on the third morning, the morning glow is thousands of miles of sea and sky, especially under the service of delicious boiled fish soup, people can feel open, and even forget the haze of the battle is coming.

They are very close to Tuen Mun.

"Thanks to the blessing of the Chen guard, otherwise we won't even have to drink the fish soup!"

Chen Mu smiled and ate a meal very satisfied, standing on the bow floor of the ship to watch the flag army clean up the infested and damp gunpowder wipe the barrels, and write down the fishing gear and cooks in the dry and brittle notes, as well as the design of the new ship to prevent rainy conditions along the coast.

Their boats were full of combatants, and their experience in going to sea was far inferior to Chen's, and they could only cook porridge without fishing gear, and if it weren't for Chen's sailors fishing along the way, they wouldn't have been able to drink fish soup at all.

And the level of the chef who made a cameo appearance on the centipede ship was too smelly, and the good ingredients were all in vain.

The closer to Tuen Mun, the more relaxed Chen Mu's heart became, Zeng Yi did not lead the fleet to go elsewhere, and went straight to Tuen Mun, the only way to go back to Nanao, Fujian, the chief of the Fujian-Guanghai Kou who was rampant on the sea thought that he had burned and robbed most of the warships in Guangzhou, and only three or two kittens were left behind him and could not catch up with him, so he could sit back and relax.

He was left unexpected, and the officers and troops had organized a huge fleet to lay a net in Lingdingyang, just waiting for him to go to Tuen Mun for a decisive battle.

"Master Chen, there's a fight ahead!"

Qi Zhengyan rowed down the sail rope, turned over on the deck to unload the momentum, got up and ran up to the bow floor with the binoculars in his hand, handed out the binoculars and pointed out the direction to Chen Mu, and said, "It should be Li Dan!" ”

Chen Mu twisted his eyebrows, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction Qi Zhengyan pointed, and saw several dhows approaching Zeng's fleet at a rapid pace, and Haikou's Wuwei Fu ship fired fiercely to meet it.

He recognized at a glance that those boats were the reward he gave Li Dan for winning the boat for him in the mirror!

"Ordered to prepare for battle, go full speed ahead, and release two small flag arrows to the rear boat."

The sound of small flag arrows exploding on the sea behind him reached Chen Mu's ears, and he watched the battle on the sea in front of him with full attention, a few small boats could never be Zeng Yi's opponent, which made him feel frightened and anxious, and before he had time to blame Li Dan for being impulsive, he saw a fleet of ships in several directions reinforcing the center of the battlefield.

On the sea level in the far southeast, hundreds of small boats of all kinds are speeding one after another, so there is no need to ask, it is naturally Bai Yuanjie's fleet that has already arrived in Tuen Mun.

To the southwest, huge sails and masts were raised at sea level, and huge red crosses were painted with oil paint on the pale yellow sails, and then Chen Mu saw the hull of the ship, which was larger than any warship he had ever seen before, almost half as long and wider than a centipede, and the bow deck had three layers, a cut higher than the Fu ship.

The wooden structure of the whole ship is painted black, and the people of the mirror call the ship driven by the Franco, the big black ship, its real name is Karrick, and it is a huge merchant ship in the Mediterranean that is about to disappear into the long river of history.

Although there was only one, this kind of behemoth appeared on the sea, Chen Mu could imagine the shock to Zeng Yi's pirates, in fact, if this ship was his enemy, there were only two choices he could do.

Either lead a small fleet of boats to rush up and burn it, or use your speed to throw it off and fly away.

Artillery battles, broadside battles, are impossible.

Deng Zilong's centipede boat obviously received the message from the small flag and arrow, and chased forward at full speed, and the two centipede boats rushed away in front and rear combat formations.

"It's a war, it's definitely a war! Chen Erlang didn't wait for me! ”

A few miles away on the sea, Chen Lan couldn't see the firefight in the distance, he could only see Chen Mu's two centipede ships speeding away from them and heading forward, even if he had ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed, he was still not strong, and he could only complain angrily while patting the bow of the ship.

In fact, the speed of the sailboats is about the same, and the clippers and the fortune boats use the same sails, so they are faster, but the speed is also limited.

In the past, the sailors didn't like to see the centipede ship, because its cabin couldn't fit too many fire attack equipment, and just rushing into the enemy formation at a fast speed was also a life of being set on fire, but Chen Mu used the centipede ship to bring Chen Lan a new enlightenment for naval warfare - no need for firearms, the ship is fast enough, the murder cannon is fierce enough, everything!

The sailor ship swayed slowly, but the centipede ship split the waves, and even crashed into the battlefield one step ahead of Bai Yuanjie's large boats, and turned around to shoot a cannonball at the end of the pirate fleet.

"Bump into it!"

After only a moment of artillery battle, Chen Mu held the mast and ordered Shi Qi, who was at the helm: "Hit his bow!" ”

In the middle of the battlefield, four dhows had been fired by pirate fires, and then several pirate boats were forced to join the ship.

Not far away, the largest ship in the pirate fleet had just adjusted its sails and turned its rudder, and rushed straight towards the other two dhows that had rushed to the rescue, a mile away, looking to sink them directly.

And on the two small boats that rushed to the rescue, Chen Mu clearly saw Li Dan with a rope tied to his waist and a knife waiting to fight.

If you can't stop that lucky ship, once it is hit, it will be a situation of broken bones...... Chen Mu used this way to knock over three pirate boats in succession the night before, and he knew too well what the result would be if a big ship ran over a small boat.

Although it is said that it is a righteous son who was picked up, but the righteous son is also a son, and the sound of the father is not in vain.

"The flag army goes up to the bow and is ready to jump!"

The rope of the ship circled around the right forearm a few times, Chen Mu stepped on the bow of the ship, and ordered the warship to rush left and right in the Japanese fleet at full speed, and the impact and slapping of the small boats along the way brought continuous vibrations to the hull.

When the widows on the fortune ship saw that this behemoth was about to ram their leader's ship, they hurriedly turned around, but it was too late, not to mention that they didn't have the speed to intercept it, so they could only watch the centipede ship get closer and closer to their leader's fortune ship.

Zeng Yiyi also saw this big ship like a sharp sword piercing into the heart of the ship's array, but at this time, it was obviously too late to adjust the direction, so he could only shout: "Hold on!" ”

Rumble!

Click!

The loud noise and earthquake-like vibration almost threw Chen Mufei out, if it weren't for the female wall in the bow to block it, I am afraid that there would be many of his flag troops flying out, and the waterline of the centipede boat slammed into the middle of the Fu boat, and the huge thrust made the Fu boat almost tilt over.

Chen Mu stood up and shook his drowsy head, and without his order, the banner troops with bird guns around him had already condescendingly shot at the Japanese on the Fu boat, and then jumped off the bow of the ship.

Chen Mu was not far behind, dragging the boat rope and swinging in the middle of his flag army on the deck, grabbing his left hand that was hanging from his chest with a splint, and looking around at the surrounding Japanese soldiers who were surging with his right hand and drawing his waist knife.

"Kill them!"
