A big bird boat flew past the sea with its sails.

A group of seagulls flew with them above the clutch.

Suddenly, a lead bullet hit the sea surface that was only fifty steps on the hull, which made the seagulls flee quickly.

"Why are these pirates chasing each other?" Wang An cursed, and the splashed mist covered his eyes with a layer of mist.

"Three pirate ships in the rear are catching up." A sailor shouted shrillly.

Not far behind the bird boat, several large ships were chasing each other.

Behind several large three-masted ships, some ships were looming.

"Unfortunate." Wang An cursed.

Half a month ago, Wang An and others followed the orders of Lord Xu Bin and followed the pirate ship.

Since the ghost scout was beheaded by the Ming army, these pirates were like losing their souls and fleeing quickly, and they didn't even care about the Ming army warships following behind.

It was not until the seventh day that the pirates fled to a large island.

Wang An didn't know where the island was, so he had to let another bird boat traveling with him go back to report the news.

He also took a bird boat and more than 20 subordinates to hover around the island.

I have been persisting for some time through fishing at sea and the dry foods such as Jiguang cakes that I brought.

However, there are obviously many pirates on the island, but the Ming army bird boat hiding on the sea was discovered by pirates in four or five days.

The Ming army's bird boat was discovered by pirates and was not vague and went straight to sail.

But what made the Ming army officers and soldiers depressed was that the pirate ships that were catching up were obviously not several patrol boats.

"Sir, I'm afraid that this nest of pirates on the island has been drawn out by us." A young sailor shouted, looking at the dark ship behind him in horror.

A bearded man on a three-masted pirate ship was staring at the Ming army bird ship being chased in the distance.

Half a month ago, he sent his most capable ghost scout to the Ming army camp to seek peace.

However, Xiao Wu not only rejected Muhanweili's proposal, but also cut off the ghost scout's head and sent it back.

This made Muhanweili furious and looked at the decayed head of the ghost scout.

Muhanweili immediately ordered all the ships under his command to go out to sea and kill directly to Dayu Island.

As a result, the fleet had not yet gone out to sea before it saw a bird boat of the Ming army cruising near the island.

Muhanweili was so angry that these Ming people were bullied at the door.

Seeing that his eldest son was so angry that his pirates were naturally in a state of turmoil. Several pirate ships rushed over, which was so shocked that the Ming army's bird ship had to escape from the sea.

The Ming army's big bird boat was eight feet long, "the head was small and the belly was swelling, the body was long and straight, and the tail had two sides. Two oars were urging. If there was wind, the sail could be set, and if there was no wind, the oars could be rowed. The turn was light, and the oars were fast, like a bird flying."

Therefore, it is called a bird ship, and it sails at a rapid speed. Although the pirate ship chased behind it was bombarded by a wide range, because the bird ship always maintained a certain distance, the pirates could not do anything to this Ming army bird ship for a while.

"So many pirates came out in full swing, so they wouldn't kill our ship, right?" Such a young sailor had no desire to live.

Wang An ignored the sailor's grievances.

He vaguely saw several pirate clutches passing by several large ships and rushing towards them.

It was obviously a few bird boats.

Bird boats are also one of the Nanyang merchant ships because of their high speed and good seaworthiness.

After plundering merchant ships going to Southeast Asia, the pirates will also use this type of ship as a pirate ship.

Those bird boats were obviously smaller than the Mingjun bird boats, but their speed was not at all inferior.

He drew his long sword and glared at the pirate ship that was chasing behind him.

"Brothers, you can't escape, fight with them."

The sailors on the warship also saw the small boats.

Seeing that they were about to be entangled by those small boats, the Ming army gunners directly pushed out the Flang machine cannon and bombarded a bird ship on the nearby sea.

Flashes of choking black smoke rose and then scattered by the strong wind.

"Blow me hard." Wang An personally pushed a cannon and adjusted the muzzle.

As the sub-cannon gun was replaced, the Ming army gunner lit the fuse, and a lead bullet pushed straight out of the muzzle, smashing straight towards the pirate bird ship that was catching up with not far away.

With a tear, the lead bullet tore through the pirate's horrified face, and the speed of the bird ship instantly dropped.

"Boom at their sails and knock them off." Wang An shouted.

The Ming army gunners then realized that the artillery bombardment at sea, both pirates and Ming army cannons, were too accurate. After all, the distance was not very close. In sight, the warships were just smaller than the thumb cover on the sea. In addition, with strong winds and waves, dozens of cannons might not hit warships on the sea in the distance.

This is also the reason why the Ming army's bird ship can escape under the siege of so many pirate ships.

But the speed of the bird boats behind him is no slower than that of the Ming army's big bird boats.

The Ming army was running away, and several bird boats were very fast, so it would be amazing if they were entangled with several bird boats.

The sail is an obvious target. By hitting the sail, you can reduce the speed of the pirate ship and significantly reduce the speed of the pirate bird ship.

The Ming army gunners adjusted their muzzles one after another, aimed at the direction and banged at the pirate sail.

Unfortunately, the Ming army artillery was not equipped with chain bullets, so the power of the sail was greatly reduced.

However, as time went by, the lead shells fired by the Ming army artillery gradually hit the sails of several bird boats, tearing open a few large holes, causing the Ming army's bird boats to gradually distance themselves from the pirate ships.

The pirates on several pirate ships in the rear were stunned. The three fast ships were crushed by one of the Ming army, and even the sails were broken.

Muhanweili on the big ship behind was so angry that he almost threw Qianlitong away when he saw this scene.

However, the Ming army bird ships ahead were indeed very powerful, and more than ten cannons were suppressed on the three pirate bird ships.

"The Mingren's Clippers are good, no wonder the brothers who went out to sea before were in trouble." Muhanvilli looked at the bird boat in front of him and showed a greedy look.

He had previously sent a large number of pirates to the rear of the Ming army to plunder the ships of the Sihai Commercial Bank. He gained a lot of money and also alienated the relationship between the two main towns of the Ming army. It can be said that it was a very poisonous move.

He is indeed far better than Li Tianyou than strategy.

Muhanweili knew about the conflict between the Ming army's water and land towns, so Muhanweili sent pirate ships to rob the four seas of merchants.

But what Muhanweili didn't understand was why Xiao Wu refused the conditions brought by the ghost scout, and even cut off the ghost scout's head to show his ambition.

When he joined forces with the Ming army to siege Ravag, Muhanweili also met Xiao Wu, and Muhanweili also knew a little about Xiao Wu's character and strategy.

He could not understand why Xiao Wu broke up with him so neatly.

Although Muhanweili is an Arab, he still knows the idiom "raising the gang" and self-respect".
