Chapter 52: Quick Knife Battle
Wu Ruotang immediately asked Chen Ling to start fleeing with full sails, although the people of the other ships of the sailor were working hard, and they didn't understand what Chen Ling meant by letting them flee quickly, but the military order was like a mountain, and the violators were beheaded, and now it was ordered to go out like a mountain, and they were not happy to be happy, but the ships still began to sail with full sails at the same time, and fled towards the open sea, so a pursuit battle began on the sea, with the fleet of the naval divisions of the century in front and the fleet of more than 20 ships of Huanglong Island in the back, and the chase was not lively.
An hour later, the fleet of Huanglong Island gradually began to approach the fleet of the sailors, but at this time, the fleets of Huanglong Island could no longer see the shadows of the large ships loaded with stone throwers, and there were only less than ten clippers of Huanglong Island hanging behind the fleet of the sailors, and the other few Huanglongdao clippers were also unable to keep up with the ships in front because of the damaged sails in the two contact battles just now, and were far behind
Chen Lin stood at the stern of the flagship, looked at the clippers from Huanglong Island that were gradually approaching behind, turned his head and asked Wu Ruotang beside him: "Wu Baihu, we should also clean up these bastards, if this continues, I see that we can't clean up these bastards when it gets dark."
Wu Ruotang took his telescope and looked at the situation behind him, nodded and said, "I can see it, Commander Chen can give the order."
So the flag of the flagship was raised, "Turn the rudder and start attacking", and when the other sailors saw this order, they began to disperse at the same time, and the rudder turned the ship sideways to meet the ships of Huanglong Island that had been hanging behind them
The ships of Huanglong Island saw that the fleet of the sailors had finally given up and escaped, so these ships immediately surrounded them, and began to approach the ships of the sailors desperately, and when they entered the range of the ballistas, the ballistas of the sailors began to speak again, and one by one the smoking canisters of fire oil pounced on the ships of Huanglong Island like poisonous bees, and several ships of Huanglong Island rose into flames on the spot
This time, the ships of Huanglong Island were already mentally prepared and not so panicked, and the leaders of each ship ordered to put out the fire, while continuing to direct their boats to rush towards the boats of the sailors, and the hard work paid off! After paying the price of two more boats, they finally came within a stone's throw of the ships, and the pirates of Huanglong Island screamed excitedly, and risking that they might be hit by ballistas immediately, the archers began to shoot at the ships of the sailors.
For the pirates of Huanglong Island, it was really sulky just now! There are ballistas on the ship, and they are always hitting their heads, but their ship is powerless, and now it is finally good to fight back and take revenge!
As if they had taken stimulants, the pirates drew their bows and fired arrows at the sailors' ships, which were mixed with a lot of rockets tied with strips of oil cloth, trying to avenge the burning arrows just now, and the next actions of the sailors' ships immediately disappointed them, because the sailors' ships were all erected at the same time on the side of the wooden shields the size of the door panels, and after the wooden shields were pushed up at the same time, as if another pair of planks had been erected on the side of the ship, almost all the arrows they shot fell on this shield wall, There was no damage to the sailors' personnel, and occasionally a few rockets landed on the sailors' deck or sails, and just wanted to cause a fire, they were extinguished by the sailors on board, and the attack was like scratching the boots and had no effect!
The pirates of Huanglong Island, who were still screaming excitedly just now, immediately wilted, a little at a loss, pulling their bows and staring at each other with big eyes, not knowing where to shoot at each other, but at this time, because the shield wall was erected, it also blocked the shooting of the ballista, at least they didn't have to worry about the danger of being shot by the terrifying ballista at this time, and the naval battle finally reached the level of close combat.
But their hesitation does not mean that the sailor's people are also stupid, but a lot of arrows immediately flew out of the arrow holes between the wooden shields of the sailors' ships, like a drizzle sprinkled on the pirate's ship, the pirates were stunned, the pirates standing on the side of the ship were immediately shot down, the remaining pirates panicked to find their shields, began to resist the arrows shot from the sailor's ship, but their shields and the shield wall on the sailor's ship of course are incomparable, There were still many people who were nailed to the surface of the ship by the arrows that followed, so the blood splattered on the Huanglong Island ship immediately, and the wailing sounded.
"Damn! Hurry up and lean over, let's jump over and fight with the officers and soldiers" The wise leader began to realize the disadvantage in front of him, shouted desperately, raised his hand to block the arrows fired from the sailor's boat, and yelled at the man at the helm!
The pirate ships that received the order continued to move closer to the sailor's ship, until their ship was completely attached to the sailor's hull, these pirates began to wave the blades in their hands, howling and trying to jump towards the sailor's ship, but they immediately saw that there was a shield wall on the side of the other party's ship, and their ships were all clippers, about the same size and height, and the sailor's ship had a shield wall, and they couldn't jump over it at all, so they danced desperately in their hands in a rage, and slashed and chopped at the shield wall. Trying to push this damn shield wall and jump onto the sailor's boat, a row of spears or hook guns suddenly stabbed out of the gap in the middle of the shield wall, and many Huanglong Island pirates who tried to jump over were immediately stabbed into a transparent hole by these stabbed spears or hook guns, and with a wail, they fell into the gap between the two ships or fell back to their own boats!
The captains or leaders of those pirate ships that came over were almost crazy, after so many years, the people of Huanglong Island had never suffered such a big loss! With such heavy losses now, where do everyone still have the heart to continue fighting. So someone started shouting, "Turn the rudder and leave them, get out of here."
At sea, it is not an easy task for the ship to turn the rudder, once the ship docks, and then want to separate, it is not so simple, just when they are about to give up the attack, the shield wall on the sailor's ship was put down with a bang, revealing a group of hideous people behind, each with a quick knife in his hand, and flew to the ship of Huanglong Island with a roar in unison!
These people are all the elite sailors who have followed Chen Ling for many years, and in the next generation, they will be the bullish marines! All of them are athletic, and they cooperate very tacitly, the pirates on the ship of Huanglong Island have already been broken, and they have long lost their morale, where are the opponents of these people.
