Chapter 208: Surrender or Kill, Abandon Weapons and Avoid Death!
(It's the end of the month, continue to summon the monthly pass at the end of the month, and you can reward one if you don't have a monthly pass, hehe!) )
Seeing that the pirates who rushed to the front had successfully 'captured' the fleet docked on the dock, the pirates who were manipulating the cannon couldn't help but shout, "Master, do it!" Yellowbeard crouched with his sword on the huge mountain of wood on the side of the pier, and saw the situation in the harbor clearly. As soon as the enemy ship entered the port, some people couldn't help but shout that they were going to fight, but he kept putting up with it.
"Wait!" I don't know how many times Yellowbeard has waited a little longer, and now the one-eyed pirates have already occupied the ships in the port. Yellowbeard himself sat on the docks to direct the battle, but Redbeard and Blackbeard were nowhere to be seen, and only a dozen ships docked in the harbor, and none of the other ships were missing.
"Show Lao Tzu how many of the Da Xie Yan battleships in the back have entered our projection range?" Yellowbeard was calm on the surface, but he was also apprehensive in his heart. Seeing that the one-eyed thieves were already roaring excitedly on the deck of the ship, and the tall warships behind him were getting closer and closer, his heart couldn't help but be nervous.
"The enemy fleet striker has come within the range of the cannon!"
"Only strikers? Then wait a little longer, at least until they are half of the range. "Although he has a secret weapon in his hand, this thing is the first time he has used it, and there are not many of them, and Yellowbeard only hopes to lure the enemy closer before fighting. Even if all the ships in the harbor were lost for this reason, they would be in the past, and they were all old merchant ships anyway.
The wait is always long and anxious, and when it feels like half a lifetime, the pirates have begun to brave the rain of arrows to land on the beach. Yellowbeard finally gave the order to the gunners, who were impatient to wait.
"Put!"
The cannon commander who finally got the order turned around excitedly. yelled at the gunners who were about to nap, "Release." Put, put! ”
Hidden behind the Mudui Mountain, the super cannon that required 200 people to twist and reload 20 rounds at a time, 20 gunners raised their heavy axes at the same time and slashed at the rope of the 15-pound heavy fire clay pot attached to the wheel of the general cannon.
The wrath of the twenty altars of the sea god suddenly flew into the sky with a whistling sound, followed by an orange-red tail flame. This is the divine fire pot that has been lit, dragging a long flame tail and rowing a beautiful arc straight to the battleship in the harbor.
Their target was not the pirates at the front, but directly at the Feng clan's tall warship group. There is no need to set goals at all. Each of these cannons has already been tried many times, marking all angles in the harbor clearly, and in the harbor, the floating wooden stakes that the Feng Ming have been ignoring are actually predetermined shooting targets, tied to iron anchors and fixed in the harbor. All of them were numbered, and the gunners only had to adjust the angle of the predetermined angle when firing.
The general's wheel guns launched the first wave of counterattacks, and their target was the largest target on the left flank, the Angry Waves.
Twenty clay pots roared and flew in, hitting the side deck of the huge three-story battleship with great accuracy, shattering one by one with a loud thud. The commander of the battleship Furious Waves was pleasantly surprised to find this extremely dangerous blow. There was no damage to the ship's armor. But he was experienced and immediately saw what was splattering out of the clay pot. It was a black, but somewhat transparent, viscous liquid, oily but dense.
"The chirp stepped forward. Prepare to extinguish the fire! The experienced lieutenant immediately judged that the contents must be fire oil, and immediately called the sailors on the ship who were specially responsible for extinguishing the fire to come forward with a pump.
More than a dozen fire-extinguishing sailors rushed forward with a pump, and the pump took a long bamboo, opened it down, wrapped the water pole with wadding, and stole the water by itself. It can both absorb and drain water, and can shoot far away, which is a pretty good fire extinguishing tool on a warship. The firefighters hold the pump in one hand and push the water pole with the other, spraying the water from the barrel onto the deck of the ship, which is already burning.
The water jet sprayed on the flames, and instead of extinguishing the flames, the flames suddenly rose, and the fire actually became even bigger. The firefighters were surprised, pushed the water pole harder, and the water column poured flames one after another, and the fireworks rose up, and suddenly rolled up on the deck of the ship, and suddenly several archers who were standing behind the female wall were swallowed up by the flames at once, and the whole person burned into a huge ball of fire, howling and running around, and finally was stabbed into the sea by the soldiers around him with a spear that reacted quickly.
The soldier's spear also burst into flames, and the sight frightened the soldiers on deck, and finally threw the spear into the sea.
At this moment, more cannons began to be dropped, and the cannons hidden in the dock and on both sides began to fire one after another, and more heavy crossbows began to fire. For a time, the sky above the entire harbor was full of whistling clay pots and flying crossbow iron arrows.
The Angry Waves, which was the first to be attacked, was attacked by a concentrated fire, and in addition to locking it with the general's wheel cannon, several catapults and ballistas locked onto it. A huge arm-thick crossbow bolt struck the Angry Waves' female wall, shattering a man-wide hole in it. The huge crossbow rod pierced the chest and abdomen of the two sailors, and the flying fragments knocked out several people.
"It's an enemy ambush." Half of the deck of the Angry Waves was already burning, and billowing black smoke shot into the sky, "We've been tricked, we've been tricked by the enemy!" The captain of the Angry Waves watched in despair as the massive fighting ship was about to sink. This fighting ship was loaded with a full 500 soldiers and 300 sailors, and it was the only full-fledged large battle ship in the fleet, but he did not expect that before even an arrow could be released, it had already suffered such a dense and terrible blow in an instant, and he didn't even have a chance to retreat, seeing that half of the ship had already burned.
"Abandon ship!" He shouted helplessly, the oil in these clay pots thrown by the enemy was so fierce that the water could not be extinguished, but the momentum of pouring more and more was greater.
There were too few dinghys on the ship, and there was no time to move slowly at this time, and the five hundred soldiers and three hundred sailors had to jump into the sea one after another. It's like dumplings. Before jumping ship. He looked around. Black clay pots with orange tails flying everywhere in the sky were found, and the hit rate of these pots was amazing. One by one, the battleships in the harbor were hit and shattered, and then they burst into flames. He estimated in his mind that there was at least a three- to four-percent hit rate, and this result shocked him.
"Captain Zhang, get on the boat." The sailors on the Little Black Mountain's ship reached out a spear to him and pulled him onto the frigate that had originally belonged to the Angry Waves, but now. The Little Black Mountain has no one to guard. When he turned around, he saw the huge Angry Waves boiling into the water and slowly tilting, and it would not be long before the huge ship would sink completely.
Climbing onto the Little Black Mountain and walking, Captain Zhang's eyes searched around for the building ship where Feng Ming was located in the smoke, and everything was as he expected. The huge five-story ships that sealed Ming became the next target after the Angry Waves.
Countless clay pots have fallen from the side of the ship, a few have already hit the hull, and several flames are igniting.
As he watched, a huge iron crossbow arrow that was eight feet long and eight feet long slammed into the foredeck of the Little Black Mountain with a whistling sound. Less than two feet beside him, crossbow bolts drove deep into the deck. The crossbow body was still vibrating.
On the wharf of the harbor, Captain Zhang saw that from behind the wooden piles on both sides, countless soldiers suddenly poured out, and they held large shields and lined up to form a shield wall and rushed to the pier to form a shield formation, blocking the pirates who were about to rush to the dock. The pirates occupied a small piece of ground on the dock and rushed for their lives, but at this time, behind the shield array on the dock, there were countless small clay pots flying out, although the size of the one hit the Angry Waves, it seemed to be the same thing.
Sure enough, one after another clay pots burst in the pirates' array, and then countless pirates began to be splashed and burned. Some pirates wanted to help their comrades put out the fire, but they set themselves on fire and set themselves on fire, and this terrible result made the pirates feel terrible, and the last bit of their desperation was gone. They began to retreat, turning and running away, trying to escape back to the ship.
At that moment, a loud drum beat came from the dock, and then he faintly heard a loud roar coming from the dock. Next, dozens of black shadows flew over the docks, and the last ones landed on the ships docked on the docks that had been occupied by the pirates.
Little by little, orange-red flames rose, and after a few moments they turned into a continuous fire. The more than twenty ships were burning rapidly, and his face changed greatly. No matter how fierce the enemy's oil was, it would not have had such an effect, because the hold of the ship had long been filled with flammable and igniting materials such as sulfur. He knew that the 1,000 pirates would not be able to come back, and even their warships would become wrecks at the bottom of the harbor.
"U-turn!" Captain Zhang shouted loudly, his face pale. The paddlers rowed to the Limbo building, and he shouted, "Don't go that way, just leave the battlefield on the left side!" "The Limbo has been completely targeted, and has already hit dozens of clay pots, but they seem to have found some way to deal with it, and instead of pouring it with water, they covered it with sand. But even so, the Limbo with its sails down was almost the slowest in the entire fleet, and there was no way they could escape.
The Zhenhai had also turned the bow of the ship to evacuate, and she was lucky not to be attacked by the terrifying clay pot. The ships and ships that followed the Zhenhai were the fastest, and the ships were small, and the ships were also covered with thick raw cowhides, so they were not damaged. However, two of the five Sea Falcons that rushed to the front were set on fire at this time, and the terrifying flames quickly devoured them at unimaginable speeds, and the Sea Falcons had a special design, and the more than forty sailors on board were almost completely under the sealed deck cabins, and even the soldiers on the ship were also semi-surrounded by the deck. In normal times, this situation can protect the crew to the greatest extent, especially the unarmed sailors, but at this time, they did not even have time to escape, and they were directly engulfed in the flames on the ship, except for a few soldiers who jumped into the sea to escape, none of the more than 40 sailors on the sea falquin ship had time to escape.
Many people could not escape, and struggled with orange fireworks, running, and jumped into the water at the last time, but they still could not extinguish the fire, and could only let out an inhuman howl.
In this clay pot in the sky, Captain Zhang found that the entire fleet had no command at all at this time, and he had not received any command and dispatch from the beginning of the attack. The pirates disconnected from them at the beginning, and when the fleet was attacked, some of the warships continued to move forward, trying to follow the pirates to the docks. Some were retreating, trying to dodge the fierce attacks, and in order to avoid those terrible cannons, the whole fleet was scattered and there was no formation.
In the black smoke and orange fireworks in the sky, Captain Zhang caught a glimpse that the Lingbo building ship finally did not exit, and the entire five-story building ship had become a huge fire at this time, emitting a raging firelight, and around the building ship, there were countless human heads undulating in the water. He didn't know if Lu Dao Fengming was among those people, but he prayed in his heart that he had better be among them.
Although the ambush on the dock was powerful, if it weren't for Feng Ming forcibly seizing the command of Captain Wu, with Captain Wu's sophistication, the fleet itself was also equipped with many long-range weapons such as catapults and ballistas, and it was not completely impossible to fight with the other party. It's a pity that the fleet of the Great Good is ruined. Even if an ambush is immediate, the whole fleet immediately retreats, and this will not be the result. It's really a lack of success and more than a failure.
The situation on the battlefield in the entire harbor was almost entirely tilted towards the east side of the town, and the battle went more smoothly than expected. No one thought that such a huge fleet of the Feng family would be completely beaten without courage with only one ambush, which confused the morale of the army. The command on the battlefield was chaotic and terrible.
"Drive all the remnants of the one-eyed Jiao into the sea and feed the fish!" Yellowbeard's face was no longer nervous or worried at this time, and it was time to close the net.
Less than two-thirds of the more than 1,000 pirates were left at this time, and they were trapped on the docks, with no way to retreat and no way forward. Their own boat and the "seized ship" on the pier behind them were already burning in the wind, and black smoke was billowing from it. Even if they wanted to jump into the sea and escape, but with the raging flames behind them and the countless crossbowmen behind the shield wall in front, they would only die faster.
In the group of pirates, Zheng Mo, who was smoky and smoky, and his eyebrows were full of fever and burning, he looked back at the Limbo and the Angry Waves, which were slowly sinking, as well as other warships of all sizes that were desperately fleeing backwards, and then looked at the shield wall that was constantly squeezing in front of him, his face full of bitterness. Gritting his teeth, he shouted behind the shield wall: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!" ”
"Surrender and don't kill, abandon your weapons and avoid death! Throw the weapon to the left, hold your head and lie on the right! Without waiting for Yellowbeard to give the order to refuse to accept surrender, Duan Shan immediately jumped out and shouted loudly. Yellowbeard glanced at Duan Shan, but he had no choice but to swallow back his intention to kill them all, and nodded in acquiescence. (To be continued.) )
