Chapter 699: On the Broadside Battle

In the east, on the sea level, a red sun seems to pop out from under the water, dyeing the sea and the sky red.

The silhouette of the Haikou ship chasing from the southeast is clearly visible in the light of the morning sun.

There are a total of nine sea boats, a fortune ship with a hard sail, and another with a hard sail, and a soft sail diagonally inserted in front, absorbing some Western characteristics.

In the shelling, the nine sea ships, the bow course pointed to the diagonal front of the Ming warship, relying on the advantage of speed, quickly narrowed the distance with the Ming army, and the three Fu ships were in a passive state every time they adjusted, and it was only a matter of time before they caught up.

At this time, among the nine sea ships, four of them were soft-sailed clippers, and the distance between them and the Ming army was only two miles away.

These four clippers, connected in a line on the sea, faced the side gun windows of the Ming army, and the guns of the black hole stretched out, and they opened fire in turn.

The recoil of the artillery was high, and a salvo caused damage to the hull, as a rule, one after another.

In an instant, clouds of gunpowder smoke rose from the side side in turn, the smoke filled the sea, the cannonballs smashed around the three Fu ships, and the water column rose in all directions, and as the distance approached, the Ming warships finally began to be shot.

The thick smell of gunsmoke on the Fu boat filled the nostrils of the soldiers, Gao Yi's eyes were smoked and wanted to cry, he clenched a step bow, his palms were sweating, and his heart was beating wildly with the sound of the cannon.

"General, you can't go on like this! They're fast, and it's hard for us to run away! Gao Yiqi saw that Haikou was getting closer and closer, and reminded urgently.

Zheng Sen didn't expect that this group of pirates would dare to rob even the ships under the banner of the Zheng family, and he also found that the distance was getting closer and closer, and within half an hour, there would be a bloody battle on the side.

Evasion is not a solution, but there is a clear disparity in strength.

Zheng Sen's young face showed a resolute look, and he suddenly said, "Gao Guerrilla, prepare to fight to the death!" ”

Zheng Sen glanced at the sea ship in the distance, then pulled out the knife at his waist, and shouted highly: "Don't let go of the artillery, fill the gun, and fight when you get closer, and the brothers are ready to take over!" ”

Although Zheng Zhilong tried his best to train Zheng Sen to become a literati doctor, Zheng Sen's blood still seemed to be better at battle battles.

As the distance closed, the pirates on the pirates on the ship began to wield their weapons and let out strange screams.

On the deck there were Han Chinese, Koreans, and even samurai from the Wa Kingdom. The sea area around the Ryukyus is a place where several shipping routes meet, and there is also a place for trade transit, bringing together outlaws from all over East Asia.

The pirate ships do not carry goods, and each ship carries a lot of people, at least nearly a hundred pirates, and nine pirate ships, there are probably nearly a thousand pirates.

The three lucky ships of the Ming army, each ship only had 68 people, and the Haikou was about five times that of the Ming army, and the strength was quite different.

On the Fu boat, the soldiers of the Ming army were silent, listening to the shouting and scolding from the opposite ship, listening to the noise and the roar of artillery, they all nervously clenched the firearms in their hands, squatted behind the guard plate on the side of the ship, and stared at the approaching Haikou.

The gunner on the ship quickly pulled out the iron bolt on the Franc machine, loaded it with a new one, and reinserted it, but did not open the gun, but sweated profusely and loaded the remaining three guns.

Gao Yiyan had already come to the deck, he glanced at the port side, and immediately beckoned: "You guys bring all the guns over there." ”

The sergeant hurriedly bent down and ran to the port side to fetch the sub-guns of the other three jack franc machines, so that the three jack franc machines on the starboard side could be used up in a very short period of time.

"Boom!" With a few sounds, the pirate ship on the opposite side opened fire again, several cannonballs smashed into the water, and the splashed water column fell high, like a pouring rain, drenching the Ming troops on the Fu ship.

Of the three lucky ships, one was hit on the side side, the guard plate exploded, the broken wood shot several soldiers, and one hit the bamboo sail entirely, tearing a large hole in the sail surface, and the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down.

At this time, the distance between the two fleets had been reduced to two hundred paces, and the artillery on the opposite side suddenly stopped, ready to get closer, and then hit the last round at close range.

On the pirate ship, a large number of pirates armed with spears and flying claws have rushed to the side of the ship, ready to take overboard.

At this moment, Zheng Sen roared angrily, "Fire!" ”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a black iron ball rushed out of white smoke and shot rapidly from the side of the fortune ship towards the approaching pirate ship.

The pirates gathered on the side of the ship, ready to engage in melee combat, heard a "bang" before they heard a "bang", and the ship's side guard suddenly exploded, and the iron bullets carried countless wood chips, sweeping across the deck in a fan.

A North Korean armed with a long stick was directly hit by a cannonball, and was instantly torn to shredded flesh, and the stump flew around, and a cloud of blood mist splattered in all directions, and the shell continued to be powerful, and broke through the side of the ship on the other side, before smashing into the sea, splashing a column of water three feet high.

After the first shot, a series of shells smashed over, and the gunpowder smoke on the side of the ship was filled, covering the hull, and the ship was immediately hit by a series of hits, and the mast of a ship was broken, and it shook a few times and smashed down, causing the pirates on the deck to scatter in terror.

When the Ming army was on the side of the gunner, after the gunner finished shooting, he immediately pulled out the bolt, installed a new sub-gun, plugged it into the bolt, and then fired again, quickly pouring firepower.

In the second echelon of the pirate ship, Zheng Zhibao stood on the ship's floor, his face sank, and the leader of the pirates next to him was also shocked.

The two of them were a little surprised to see four clippers, two of which had broken masts and gradually lost speed and became paralyzed.

It seems that the other party has been prepared for a long time, beware of the hijacking of the ship, and there should be elite soldiers on it.

Zheng Zhibao's face changed, and he suddenly waved his hand, "Quick, catch up!" ”

After the shelling, the ship of the pirates screamed in all directions, and the ships were in disarray, and the pirates, who were stuck in the body of broken wood, were covered in blood, and their bodies seemed to be fished out of the bloody water, and they fell to the ground screaming, and the severe pain on their bodies made their bodies tremble and spasm violently.

"Turn the rudder, lean in!" Zheng Sen immediately roared angrily after the shelling ended.

At this time, the four clippers, two were paralyzed and left behind, allowing the five pirate ships behind to overtake, and there were only two pirate ships in front.

With a "bang", a Japanese arquebusier armed with an iron cannon on the opposite pirate ship aimed at Zheng Sen and fired a gun, which hit the ship's tower and shattered the wooden plank.

Zheng Sen was unmoved, pointed his knife at the pirate ship, and roared again, "Release, kill!" ”

On the starboard side of the three lucky ships, the musketeers of the Ming army stood up in unison, raised their firearms and fired.

In the sound of "bang bang bang", the gunpowder smoke on the side of the ship was filled, the fortune ship was bigger than the pirate ship, the Ming Dynasty gunners were condescending, and the pirates on the pirate ship on the opposite side were hit one after another, and there were bursts of screams.

At this time, the second echelon of pirates had also come up, Zheng Zhibao stood on the ship's floor, observing the three lucky ships with a clairvoyant, and the circular vision suddenly fixed on the tower of the lucky ship at the head.

Zheng Zhibao's face was full of surprise, "Da Mu? He couldn't believe it, put down the clairvoyant, looked at it with the naked eye, and found that he couldn't see clearly, so he hurriedly put the clairvoyant mirror in front of him again.

The circular vision locked on Zheng Sen's figure, and at this time he was holding a hard bow, firing several arrows in a row, he was condescending, shooting three people in a row, and the arrows were stuck on the deck, and there was a buzzing vibration sound.

Seeing Zheng Sen heroically shooting Haikou, Zheng Zhibao was speechless, "Big nephew, what are you doing here?" The country laid down by your uncle and your father is not going to be passed on to you in the future, you can't dig your own corner and push the wall of the Zheng family! ”
