The Zhenhai fighter ship was carrying 200 crew members and 400 soldiers, and after the battleship was intercepted by the Black Skull, the officers and men on board immediately met the side of the ship to engage them. But the Black Skull suddenly surged out of a large group of armored infantry wearing iron armor and holding hard crossbows, and they swept forward like a torrent of steel.

Redbeard didn't forget to shout loudly behind him: "No one is allowed to lose the divine fire, this ship Lao Tzu wants to grab it to be a ship!" He followed the group of ironclad crossbowmen with an enlarged horizontal sword, searching around for the ship's commanding officer. After searching for a long time, it turned out that the captain of the Zhenhai had already died in the collision just now, he was a messenger, the whole person was lying on the deck, a large pool of blood flowed, and half a paddle was stuck in his head.

"Your fate is not good, die early and be reincarnated." Redbeard mourned for his opponent.

Several pirates rushed forward and shouted excitedly, "Master, we have captured this ship, please change the name of the ship." ”

"What was the name of this ship?"

"Zhenhae!" A pirate replied.

"This ship was captured in Iron Mountain Harbor, so let's call it Iron Mountain." Redbeard looked up, it was only a short time, the enemy troops on the new Iron Mountain had already been either killed or wounded, and the pulpers in the cabin did not resist, they honestly raised their hands and surrendered, and walked out of the pulp room one by one. He took off his helmet, wiped the blood from his face, and returned directly to his Black Skull. Be careful along the way. I almost fell a few times. The ship was littered with blood and even the intestines of soldiers killed in battle. This makes the board both sticky and slippery.

After the Zhenhai fighting ship failed to break through and was captured, the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer. Da Xie's warships desperately escaped, and they didn't even fight back. The warships in the Zhendong Sea are small, but they are light and fast, and at this time, they give full play to the tactics of wolves and tigers and attack in groups. Try to get as close as possible to start a broadside battle, if in the past, face a heavily armed warship like Da Xie Yan. They would never dare to be so fierce. But now, the enemy army has long lost the slightest fighting spirit, and even the pirates' speedboats are about to chase directly under the enemy ships.

An ironclad sea falcon was surrounded by a group of people, and there was no hope of escape, which only aroused the death of the soldiers on board. began to maneuver the battleship on a rampage, and it was a fire oil can, and a crossbow arrow boulder, and for a time several small boats were hit and sunk. Blackbeard, who commanded the siege, was very annoyed when he saw this, and he couldn't help but feel envious when he saw that Redbeard had successfully captured a huge fighting ship. It's a pity that there is only one building ship and two fighting ships in Da Xie Yan's fleet this time. The other building ship and fighting ship have all sunk in Iron Mountain Bay, and the only thing that can still be seen is this hanging iron armor. The ironclad sea falcon with an iron ploughshare was also mounted on the bow of the ship.

It took a lot of hard work to surround the next one, but I didn't expect this ship to be persuaded to surrender several times and still be so ignorant.

"Cast the god fire pot and burn him!"

A group of pirates had already become impatient, and at this time, they took out small two-pound clay pots equipped with good clay pots and threw them at the sea falcon ship one after another. There was a thudding sound, and countless clay pots shattered into the sea falcon's iron armor, and then immediately burst into flames.

Although the iron-armored sea falcons are equipped with iron-armored walls, they can defend against bows, arrows, crossbows and even stone-throwings, but they can't protect against this sharp divine fire. In a moment, the entire ship of the Sea Falcons was on fire, and the more than 100 warriors and sailors hiding behind the iron deck had to jump ship. Blackbeard showed no mercy, and he was angry at their ignorance, and ordered them to shoot arrows into the sea with their bows and arrows, killing all those who jumped from the boat.

The Ironclad Falcon was burning and drifting across the sea, and a stern was pressed by the warships in the Zhendong Sea and accidentally collided with it as it retreated, and it was quickly ignited. Several sea falcons were trapped behind, and seeing that the enemy ships were constantly surrounding, they jumped over the wall in a hurry, simply abandoned the battleship, and directly released the dinghy and fled directly.

"Bang!"

Another ship that refused to surrender after being surrounded, this time a shipwreck. Not only did they not surrender, but they raised the sails, and all the paddlers were paddling desperately. The pirates directly attacked with divine fire, and the burning flames ignited the rigging, and the fire gradually spread, climbing over the rope, climbing onto the canvas, and growing into an orange flower. A moment later, the most fire-resistant assault battleship of all the warships swirled around on the surface of the sea, and disappeared at its worst.

Looking at the battleships one after another being ignited by the divine fire, Blackbeard, who had just boarded the Black Skull, sighed with a face full of regret, "It's a pity, there are so many good warships, we can't afford to get one for many years, but today we burned so many in one fire." ”

"It's good, it's a pity it's not ours. We can't have distressed thoughts on the battlefield, before they really fall into our hands, they are all enemy ships, but we have a little slackness, but we will suffer a big loss. Besides, the quality of the battleship does not mean victory, and compared with the fleet dispatched by Da Xie Yan this time, we can't catch up with them. But if you look at the outcome of this battle, we can already laugh loudly and say that we have won. Redbeard sighed.

Blackbeard nodded, "Yes, but these warships are really good warships, especially those ironclad sea falcons, which are really eye-catching." The warships of the officers and soldiers are different, and any detachment sent by them is far stronger than our family belongings for decades. ”

Redbeard chuckled: "Speaking of which, Ji Yu is still powerful, and he expects the enemy to take the lead, and no one else is here, but everything that happens here is actually the same as he expected in advance. After this battle, it really showed his true qualities as a wise general. The second brother said that Ji Yu would pick the captured battleship first, and let him take it as long as it was what he liked. ”

"Isn't that too much?" Blackbeard said with some reluctance: "This capture is not small, and now we have captured a fighting ship, two ironclad sea falcons, two ordinary sea falcons, and one boat, three ships, and two yachts." If we equip these warships, then the strength of our Zhendonghai will be doubled immediately, and we will really be able to control the Donghai in the future. ”

Redbeard shook his head lightly as he looked at the battlefield at sea as it drew to a close.

"Fourth, look farther, now we are finally getting so close to Li Jing step by step, it won't be long, maybe we and the brothers don't have to die at sea anymore, we can have a house and farm on land, isn't that a good day, do you really want to be a generation, and your children and grandchildren will continue to be pirates for the rest of their lives? Besides, we will hand over these ships to Li Jing, won't Li Jing also hand them over to Xiaomei and Xiaoli? Looking at the long term, I feel that as long as we keep following Li Jing, there will be such battles in the future, and when Li Jing is full, he will miss a little casually, which will be enough for us. We want a battleship now, it's not appropriate, do that, what will Li Jing think of us, we can't throw away a melon for the sake of a sesame seed in front of us. ”

The fierce battle in the harbor had come to an end, and due to the gap deliberately left by Zhendonghai, although the gap was small, some warships still escaped from the harbor. The remaining part was divided and surrounded by the two fleets in the east sea of Zhendonghai, or surrendered, or burned and sunk.

The sea was full of rising black smoke, broken planks and sails of warships under the waves, and many soldiers who jumped into the sea were struggling to swim. Eleven captured warships have been received by the pirates, and are happily rocking towards the docks by the paddlemen.

This battle, which was even more striking than the previous ambush on the dock, captured one fighting ship, two ironclad sea falcons, two ordinary sea falcons, as well as one ship, three ships, and two yachts. In addition, we sank two seagulls, one ship, three ships, and three yachts.

Counting the results of the ambush at the dock, there were only eleven warships that escaped after the last day, including two ironclad sea falcons, one ship, five ships, and three yachts. After the loss of two fighting ships and a building ship, they fled faster.

Compared to this fruitful victory, the losses on the Zhendong Sea side were very light, and the previous loss of nineteen decoy merchant ships was very small. In the later interception battle, three converted merchant ships were sunk one after another, and the number of pirates killed in the battle did not exceed 100.

According to preliminary statistics, more than 300 one-eyed pirates were annihilated and more than 600 were captured. More than 1,300 officers and crew members were captured, and it is estimated that 506 of the enemy were killed, and there were also a large number of prisoners of war floating on the sea, and these people were estimated to be in the hundreds.

Feng Ming and the pirates united with nearly fifty warships and nearly 5,000 men and horses, and only eleven ships escaped back at this time, adding up to more than 1,000 people.

"After cleaning up the battlefield, we will follow them back to Wuhu Island." Redbeard said with a smile.

He estimated that Li Jing must have taken the Wuhu Islands now, and these defeated generals didn't know the news at all, so they desperately ran to Wuhu Island at this time, thinking that they would be safe when they arrived at Wuhu Island. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Previously, he also felt that Li Jing's move of attacking Wuhu Island was a bit too dangerous, and the troops fought in two ways, and changed the encirclement battle that had been set into a two-front battle, which was a bit bold. But now that I look at it, it turned out to be a really good move. They first ambushed and then intercepted Da Xie Yan's fleet here, and each time it seemed to leave room for the other party, so that they only cared about escaping, but they were ambushed first and then intercepted, and the fleet that was far above them was completely disabled after the most, and then they broke through and fled back to Wuhu Island in a hurry, but they would never have thought that it would be Li Jing who was waiting for them.

Wonderful, really wonderful, in this way, it is estimated that the entire fleet will not want to escape alone. This is complete annihilation, and no one will be left. (To be continued.) )
