Chapter 155

"Sir, ship, ship!" Just as Wang An saw several pirate bird boats retreat, the sailors beside him shouted loudly.

Just in front of the lonely Ming army's big bird ship, one three-masted giant ship after another appeared.

Wang An swore that this was definitely the most exciting time he had when he saw his friendly troops, and even his hand holding the long sword was trembling.

A lucky ship took the lead and sailed at the front of the fleet. The three-masted sails looked majestic on the sea.

The Ming sailors on the bird boat cheered, and they survived, and the Ming Navy came.

Muhanweili was also stunned when he saw the flag of the distant Naval Town.

He had just assembled a fleet to attack Dayu Island, but the Ming army actually came to the door directly.

Wang An's bird boat did not turn, but continued to rush towards the Ming Navy. He did not want to become cannon fodder for the Ming army to confront pirates.

Muhanviri's sinister eyes stared at the Ming navy appearing on the distant sea. Looking around, the number of Ming army warships was less than 40.

And there are as many as a hundred warships gathered on their own side.

Compared with the two, their number of warships is far greater than that of the Ming Navy's Navy's warships, which also gave the pirates the courage to face the Ming Navy.

However, the previous record of the Ming army bird ship overturning three pirate bird ships made all the pirate leaders feel chilled.

"This is our sea area. Even the red-haired ghosts cannot expel us, and these Ming people cannot do it."

Seeing that the pirates on the deck were all chilling, Muhanvilli shouted loudly.

"Do you want to hide on remote islands and avoid the Ming people's searches every day, trembling under the Ming people's warships, or do you use your steel knives to kill these Ming people?" Muhanvilli shouted loudly.

"Sinking a Ming army's bird boat to reward one hundred silver dollars, and sinking a Ming army's blessed ship to reward one thousand silver dollars."

Muhanweili's words were immediately heard loudly by several pirate leaders beside him, and there was a shocking shouting sound from the pirate ship.

The distance between the pirates and the navy is getting closer, but the strong wind gradually calms down, which is also a good thing for both sides.

At least when the sea conditions are better, they can face the enemy calmly.

Soon, the pirates were the first to be calm and opened fire on the Ming army. Several heavy lead missiles flew to the Ming army's navy, but they hit the sea one after another.

"Fire a fire a mile away, these South China pirates have not yet made any progress." Xu Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly at the water pillar not far away.

Not all pirate ships opened fire, most of them were quietly breathing, the gunners pushed the cannons, and the sailors carried powder barrels and lead bombs.

More pirates sat coldly on the deck or in the cabin, wiping steel knives and iron hooks, and some pirates in good condition were pouring as much black gunpowder as possible into the medicine bag.

The pirates had firearms, but not many, at least they could not popularize firearms like the Luzon Ming army or the Spanish. Their muskets were either snatched from wealthy merchant ships or purchased from underground black markets. Of course, some pirate forces would imitate muskets themselves.

But they were not sure whether such a musket would kill the opponent or suddenly explode after firing.

More pirates still hold steel knives, iron hooks, and bows and arrows. The most important thing in the battle is the battle of the next battle.

This was their best skill, and they were defeated by the Spanish musketeers. However, this time they faced the Ming army, they showed their bloody side again.

The Ming Navy's large bird ship rushed to the front with its speed. They suddenly turned around and dispersed around the pirates about a mile away. Several large lucky ships on the front, Galen's large sailboat came towards them.

Almost at the same time, the Ming army navy and pirates opened fire at almost the same time.

Most of the pirate's artillery are falcon cannons. The firepower of this kind of stone bomb is quite heavy, and the power of the stone bombs fired is also quite amazing. The bow of a Ming army Haicang ship was directly hit by a six or seven-pound stone bomb, and the wooden bow was directly smashed into a large gap, and wood chips were flying.

Most of the more stone bombs and lead bombs fell into the sea, causing wave after wave of water.

The three-massed pirate ship was centered at the forefront led by several Garen sailboats of the Ming army, while some two-massed pirate ships loaded with pirates rushed over from the side.

With the Ming army warship six-pound artillery bombarded the main pirate ship, it surrounded it like a group of blood-sucking flies.

The Ming army gunners on the deck quickly launched a three-pound Flang machine cannon. This small rear-loading artillery, which was changed to Spanish rotary cannon, has always been the magic weapon for the Ming army's navy to win melee battles.

Soon one sub-cannon after another was loaded into the mother gun by Ming army gunners, and the gun mouth was constantly bombarded, and waves of white smoke rose up.

Ming Jun covered his mouth and nose, his face firm and fearless, and was not at all confused when facing the pirate ship that was close to Chi Chi.

The pirate ship that rushed in the front was naturally defeated by three pounds of lead bullets. Several slightly broken pirate ships were directly broken by lead bullets. The pirates on the ship fell into the water but still swam towards the Ming army warship.

The pirates on the Clippers were also not vague and fired at the Ming army warships with small cannons on the bow. Due to the proximity of the distance, the accuracy of the pirate cannons was also greatly increased.

Soon several stone bullets hit the hull of a large sailboat of the Ming army and made several large holes.

However, because the sailing ship's hull was too high, the artillery of these fast ships could not reach the deck at all, allowing the Ming army gunners on the deck to calmly suppress the pirate ship.

It has to be said that the Spaniards are also good at dealing with pirates. The tall sailors can calmly face the harassment of small pirates.

Seeing that the small pirate ship could not threaten the Ming army's sailing ship, several three-mass pirate ships fighting the main ship of the Ming army rushed directly.

Facing the Ming army's deck, the nine-pound and six-pound cannons in the artillery cabin were constantly bombarded, and they were heading towards them.

Soon, a three-masted pirate ship sailed directly to the sea not far from an armed schooner, and the artillery of both sides bombed.

It was a lucky ship. It must have been that the Chinese merchant ships who were traveling to Southeast Asia were robbed and then occupied by pirates.

The number of artillery on the ship was obviously less than that of the Ming army's armed sailboats. The fierce pirate leader directly hit the head of the ship, and the bow was close to the right side of the sailboat, gradually approaching the Ming army's warship.

"Hook up the hook, hurry up and get down the hook." A squad leader stepped forward and was about to break the hook that was hooked on the boat, but unexpectedly, a bow and arrow hit the squad leader's neck directly, and blood was pouring in his neck.

"Prepare the God Rocket."

Seeing that the pirate in front of him was about to board the ship, a deputy general of the Navy Town shouted loudly.

On the deck, the Ming soldiers carried more than a dozen narrow objects and placed them on the right side of the deck and aimed at the pirate ship that was closing.

These strange-shaped rockets have half of the front of them, and half of them are wrapped in consolidation paper, which is about one person tall.

After aiming the front of the bamboo tube at the nearby pirate ship, the fuse at the tail was lit.

As a burst of white smoke rose, dozens of arrows shot out from the bamboo tube mouth of more than a dozen divine rockets in an instant.

The pirates who were eager to try on the deck were caught off guard by this sudden arrow. Many pirates were shot on their arms and thighs, and blood continued to overflow.

But a rain of arrows did not scare the pirates, and a large number of pirates still walked on the deck to prepare to board the Ming army warships.

The two large ships were about to be connected soon, and at that moment, the deputy general of the Ming army shouted: "Be prepared for fire and thunder."

The grenadier held a black iron ball in his right hand, with a long fuse rope on it. The sailors held the wooden handle embedded in the ball, lit the fuse rope, and threw it at the moment the pirate ship approached the side of the ship.

The pirates were startled by the sudden iron ball, and before they could see clearly what this thing was for.

A ray of fire filled the deck with white smoke, and the entire deck was filled with the screams of pirates.

"Preparation of the Hundred-Secret Gun." A co-leader ordered.

Several hundred-subs guns on the deck were also set up by Ming soldiers and shot fiercely at the pirates on the deck.

The previous fire thunder could only be said to have injured the pirates on the deck, but most of the pirates were safe and sound. It is also a bit that Ming's arms thunder could not produce fragments due to the influence of technology. Although the sound was huge, it did not cause much damage.

But these lead sand bullets swept through the entire deck like a barrage of death. A large number of lead particles shot towards the deck at high speed. The wooden decks were made into small holes and holes by these lead sand bullets, and some of the sand bullets hit the pirates struggling in the white smoke.

In an instant, the pirates were covered in blood by sand bombs and fell straight onto the deck, with blood soaked in the dark wooden deck.
