The pirates looked at the sinking ship, and the whirlpool caused by it was devouring the surrounding accomplices who jumped into the sea to escape, and they were all frightened, and shouted one after another: "Don't open the cannon, let's jump!" ”

One pirate after another jumped into the water, and seeing that the "Hirosuke" really did not make a move on them, they relaxed and paddled desperately to swim in the opposite direction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSwimming in the middle of the sea is not a good idea, but it's better than being beaten into a sieve by a cannon.

Most of the pirates on the nine ships jumped into the sea, but on one ship there were dozens of pirates who hesitated to jump. For a small leader said to his subordinates: "This duck-ass ship is cunning, maybe after we all jump down, he will take back the Canton ship and will do something to us, we stay in the cabin, they throw rat traps, maybe there is still a chance." "I have to say that this little leader guessed Murong Longcheng's true intentions, and with only the dozens of people on the "Bo Fu", he really wanted to recapture the Guangzhou ship by hand-to-hand combat, and he couldn't do it even if he ran out of people, so he could only use the deterrent power of artillery to deceive.

Seeing that the ship's pirates were reluctant to jump into the water, Murong Longcheng's brows furrowed. His original intention was to recapture all the ships without blood, but if he was worried about hurting the ships and keeping these pirates on board, maybe the pirates in the sea would follow suit and climb back on board, and the work would be wasted.

At this time, the pirate, who was already a little quick in the water, stopped swimming and probed his head to watch the movement.

"Use solid bullets to hit this Canton ship." Murong Longcheng ordered, "Don't hit below the waterline, raise the muzzle of the cannon a little." ”

"Boom" a few cannon shots, heavy solid shells whizzed and smashed into the hull, and the pirates hiding in the cabin felt the whole ship tremble.

"You're hitting the streets, and you're really here, and your new ship can be launched?" The little leader yelled.

"They've fired, let's dive, big brother." The subordinate persuaded.

"No, wait, maybe it's scary, such a brand-new ship, I can't do it They can sink it ruthlessly!"

Murong Longcheng saw that the rats were not out of the hole, and the people on the sea were still watching, and said in a deep voice: "All cannons are fired in a salvo!" ”

The gunners, having received the order, abandoned free fire, loaded the shells and simultaneously lit the fuse under the command of the gun commander.

There was a loud "boom, boom", the six Caron guns roared in unison, the strong recoil caused the hull to tilt to the other side, and some sailors were unsteady on their feet and slipped on the deck.

Six solid bullets smashed into the hull, side, and cabin of the ship, and sawdust flew everywhere, and the pirates in the cabin felt as if the whole ship was about to disintegrate, and it would break into several pieces at any moment.

At this time, everyone was not calm, and no longer ignored the persuasion of the little leader, they rushed out of the cabin with their heads in their hands, and jumped into the sea one after another. If the ship really sinks, staying on the ship is absolutely a dead end, and jumping into the sea finally has a chance of survival.

Seeing that everyone jumped into the sea, Murong Longcheng breathed a sigh of relief, if the other party persisted any longer, he had no choice but to sink the ship, it was not too late, although he was hit by a few solid bullets, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones, and he could still use it if he dragged it back for repair.

"Sink all the thieves on the surface of the sea into the sea, and leave no one behind!" Murong Longcheng gave the order.

The "Bosuke" turned the rudder and ran over to the densest place, and the pirates wailed, and some people shouted: "Hold your mother, you don't keep your promises......" Before the words were finished, they sank into the water with a clatter.

"I only said that I would not fire the cannon, and I did not say that I would not hit people." Listening to the pirate's scolding, Murong Longcheng smiled slightly.

In this sudden sea encounter, Murong Longcheng led the "Bofu" patrol ship, outnumbered, and won a complete victory, the only flaw was that when boarding the ship to regain control of the Guangzhou ship, a pirate hidden in the cabin burst out, broke out, injured people, cut several sailors, and was finally captured alive.

The pirate was the ringleader of the Canton ship that had been shelled, and everyone jumped overboard, convinced that it was just a bluff, and continued to hide in the cabin. As he expected, the people who jumped into the sea ended up hanging. When the sailors re-boarded, he jumped out, with the idea that he would earn money by killing one and killing a pair, and after slashing a few people, he was surrounded and subdued, tied into a rice dumpling and thrown in the bilge.

South Park, Council Chamber.

"Good!" In the summer, Nan took the case and clapped his hands. Listening to Murong Longcheng's report, he couldn't help but exclaim: with a patrol ship that was not too strong in firepower, he fought with five pirate ships, not only eliminated three, drove away two, but also kept all the Guangzhou ships, such a record could not but be admired, and he was impressed by Murong Longcheng's decisiveness and resourcefulness.

When William heard the battle, his eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't help but proudly say to Xia Nan: "General, the person I chose is good, right?" ”

Xia Nan gave him a thumbs up: "Verygood!"

Then he praised Murong Longcheng: "You did a very good job, if you change another person to your position, it would be good to be able to get out of the way, don't think about defeating the pirates and keeping the Guangship." ”

Murong Longcheng replied modestly: "The subordinates just did their duty. The key is that the general's ships and cannons are very sharp in order to achieve such results. ”

Xia Nan smiled and nodded, although this was a modest statement, but it also said another element of victory: ships and artillery. The combination of agile ship, overwhelming artillery and genius command led to the victory of the encounter.

The biggest significance of this battle is not to kill a few pirates and keep a few ships, but to test the gap between the Qiongzhou battalion and the pirates through a hard-fought battle: these pirates are Liu Xiang's subordinates, from the largest pirate group in Guangdong, not small characters such as Liu Heizi who have been encountered before, a patrol ship can fight five pirate ships, then the main fleet is enough to deal with ten times the number of pirate fleets.

The more Nanyue thought about it in the summer, the happier he became, he walked a few steps back and forth, stopped and pointed at Murong Longcheng: "You have a lot of credit this time, let's say, what reward do you want?" ”

Murong Longcheng bowed calmly and replied: "This is all what subordinates should do, and they don't ask for rewards, but if the general can remove the word apprentice in front of me, the captain, his subordinates will be content." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, your excellent command proves your quality. In the future, your future is not the captain of a patrol ship, but the larger capital battleship is your goal. ”

After Murong Longcheng thanked him, he said: "There is still one more thing to report to the general, this time because of the urgency of the matter, plus the enemy is outnumbered, I did not capture the prisoners, but there is a fish caught hiding in the Guangzhou boat and was caught, does the general need to be arraigned?" ”

"Oh? There is also a live mouth, bring it up immediately, just touch Liu Xiang's bottom line. ”
