Soon after, the pirates took control of nine ships, abandoned the pursuit of the two ships that were gradually fleeing, and began to turn around with the booty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang was thinking about what kind of reward he would get when he went back, when his subordinates reported: "Shopkeeper, that strange ship turned around and came towards us, it seems that it wants to fight!" ”

"Oh? Are you reluctant to take these boats, and want to jump over the wall in a hurry? Zhang's head looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Haha, it's just in time, brothers, guys, go up and take this ship down!" ”

Zhang's big head boat was raised with full sails, and it bypassed several Guangzhou ships that turned around, and headed towards the "Bofu". As Murong Longcheng expected, after capturing these ships, the pirates already regarded them as their own trophies, and did not want the ships to be damaged in battle.

The "Hirosuke" and Zhang's ship were walking opposite each other, and soon approached, and as soon as they were about to collide, the pirates had already grabbed their swords and were ready to jump and slash when the two ships were close together.

However, the opponent did not seem to want to fight them hand-to-hand, and made a slight turn, staggered the bow of the ship, and became in a position of walking side by side with them.

Looking at the enemy ship that was close at hand, Zhang took a sip of his head: "Cowardice without eggs." He commanded his men, "Quick, turn the rudder, lean in!" "The two ships are less than 100 meters apart, and if they turn the rudder in time, they may be able to get on it.

At this time, the other party lifted the gun jacket covering the side of the ship, revealing the black hole of the gun. Zhang Datou didn't expect such a small ship to have such a dense artillery, and was taken aback.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, there were a few loud noises of "boom, boom, boom", and the cannon was fired on the opposite side, and the dense projectiles like raindrops flew over, and the pirates who were standing on the deck waiting for the hand-to-hand fight were swept away, and Zhang's head was not spared, his head was hit by several projectiles, and the big head became a broken head, and the brains flowed all over the deck.

The Wuxiang-class patrol ship is equipped with 12 guns on the deck, all of which are 32-pounder Caron guns, although there are only 6 guns on one side, and the firepower is not strong, but dealing with pirates who can only fight hand-to-hand within 100 meters is a one-sided slaughter. As soon as the shotgun came down, there was no living person standing on the pirate ship, and even the people who lowered the sails on the mast swept down.

The first round of artillery bombardment was successful, Murong Longcheng clenched his fists, made a false blow, exhaled a breath, and then ordered: "Don't slow down, just take the next boat." ”

The shopkeeper's ship was bombarded, and the pirates in the rear were stunned, and they did not know for a moment whether to meet them or avoid them for a while. The Dutch gunboats they have seen, without several times the numerical advantage, it is impossible to compete with it, although this strange ship is smaller, but the firepower is fierce, it seems that it is still above the Dutch.

The "Hirosuke" took advantage of its speed, and before they could react, it quickly approached the second pirate ship, and another round of shotguns smashed in, sending flesh and blood flying across the deck.

The pirates behind finally reacted, and without waiting for the "Bosuke" to get close, they hid in the bilge one after another, and jumped directly into the sea before they had time to dodge, and even so, they were still killed by the shotgun.

The two ships that fell behind desperately turned their rudders, but this time instead of moving closer to their opponents, they were going to flee in the opposite direction.

As a result of the allocation of men to occupy the ships, the pirates remained on their ships by nearly half, and suffered heavy casualties after several rounds of shelling. The two pirate ships that did not suffer from the cannon saw that the shopkeeper was more and less lucky, and they couldn't kill this gunboat, so they desperately turned the rudder and fled the battlefield, leaving their accomplices behind. Some pirates who jumped into the sea to escape saw that their ships were about to escape, and they shouted "rushing into the streets".

Seeing that the adventure was successful, Bol wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What about these people in the sea?" ”

Murong Longcheng replied coldly: "Run over!" ”

Although the "Bosuke" is less than 300 tons, it is not very large in the eyes of pirates, especially when it is pressed like a wall. The pirates of the sea wailed and paddled desperately, trying to dodge, but how fast could a man swim past a sailboat?

The hull of the ship sailed by, many pirates were directly knocked unconscious, sunk into the sea, and those who were lucky enough to escape were swept into the water by the wake generated by the "Bosuke" after the rapid movement, choking a few mouthfuls of water, just feeling lucky, who knew that the duck-tailed boat turned around and hit again. Some people lost their good fortune and ended up being knocked into the sea.

After being crushed back and forth several times, all the pirates who jumped into the sea disappeared into the sea.

"Catch up with a few new ships that have been captured, shotgun ready!" Murong Longcheng continued to order.

The pirates who jumped on the ship did not expect to face such an end, they watched their ship being beaten by cannons like a sieve, and their accomplices were either killed or wounded, staying on the ship was a dead end, and they could not survive by jumping into the sea. Seeing the strange ship coming towards him, the pirates who seized the ship were in a tremble, not knowing what to do.

Some of the pirates tried to flee in their boats, but in a hurry they turned around and were caught up in a burst of shotguns, and all of them went to the shopkeeper.

Others took refuge in the cabins, trying to escape the shelling. But in this way, no one raised the sails, no one took the helm, the ship lost control, and the opportunity to escape was completely lost.

There is a strange picture on the sea: an old lock ship shuttles back and forth, attacking with artillery fire from time to time, three pirate ships and nine Guangzhou ships are powerless, losing power and rising and falling with the waves, and two pirate ships are desperately fleeing in the distance.

Silva looked at Murong Longcheng with adoring eyes: "Captain, you are really a genius!" Not only did one of our ships defeat five pirate ships, but we also saved all the cargo ships, what an amazing battle! ”

"The battle isn't over yet." Murong Longcheng replied, "Approach those three thief ships, exchange them for solid bullets, and sink them." ”

"Boom, boom, boom" There was a burst of cannons, and solid bullets whistled and smashed the hull. How could three corsairs withstand the close-range bombardment of 32-pound solid bullets, with little more than 100 pounds of dilapidated boats and thin planks of hulls? Two rounds of solid bounce down, the waterline has been broken into the water, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks. Some of the surviving pirates who were hiding in the cabin screamed and escaped from the cabin, "plopping" and jumping into the sea.

Bor was about to draw a scoop with a gourd, and then knock these people into the sea to meet the Dragon King, but was stopped by Murong Longcheng: "Leave them alive for the time being, so that those who seized the ship can see a glimmer of life." ”

Bolhu didn't understand it too much, but he was convinced that his son's actions naturally had his reasons, so he didn't ask any questions.

After sinking the pirate ship, the "Hirosuke" came to the side of the Hirobune fleet. Seeing that no cannon was fired this time, a bold pirate poked his head out of the cabin and begged for mercy in a loud voice: "Good man spare his life, as long as we don't fire the cannon, we are willing to surrender." ”

Murong Longcheng asked his subordinates to shout: "If you want to survive, jump into the sea, otherwise you will sink the ship!" (To be continued.) )
