Chapter 156
Not only this pirate blessing ship, but several large pirate ships have already closed towards the Ming army's warships and even joined the ships, but they were all hit by several rounds of cooperation by the Ming army and did not even jump on the deck.
Xiao Wu's lucky boat is in the middle, and there are some bird boats beside the boat, protected by Haicang boats.
Two three-masted ships set their sights on Xiao Wu's main ship and began to close them. A Haicang ship was eager to save his master and rushed straight to hit the muzzle of the pirate ship.
The Haicang ship is slightly smaller than the Fu Ship and has a draw of about seven or eight feet, mainly cooperating with the Fu Ship.
This Haicang ship was obviously entangled by several pirate ships before, and there were many signs of being hit by shells on the ship.
Several six-pound Flang cannons fired at the pirate ship, but sporadic Flang cannons could not overpower the artillery of several pirate ships.
Soon a twelve-pound shell hit the hull, and countless wood chips flew with flesh and blood.
Several nearby pirate ships surrounded them like sharks smelling blood.
After being caught by pirates, the Haicang ship sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Several bird ships also came over like crazy, but the number of Ming army warships was still smaller than that of pirate ships.
These two-mast bird boats face pirate ships like young children facing adult strong men, and have no power to fight back.
On the Fu Ship, using this skill, the four red cannons on the Fu Ship of the Ming army aimed at the pirate ship and bombarded them.
The twelve-and-a-half-long cannon still showed amazing power in the naval battle, and the flames of the pirate ship immediately went out.
"Blade player is ready." A assistant chief shouted angrily.
The Ming army officers and soldiers on most ships had used up rockets and fire thunder, and the loading of the Baizi Gun was not something that could be done in a short time and was abandoned by the Ming army.
The Ming army musketeers raised their muskets. Most of the muskets in Naval Town were colloid guns, and they were not as popular as Huben Town. Many flintlock muskets were soaked under the waves, and the Ming army musketeers had no time to change the flint.
The pirates finally boarded the ship. After a series of firearms in the Ming army, the pirates paid the price of blood.
But they still set foot on the Ming army's warship, and before they could shout.
The sound of the musket spread throughout the deck.
Although some of the musket soldiers were unable to fire due to the soaking rope, 40% of the muskets still successfully fired.
Most of these pirates were shirtless, even if some people carried shields, but they didn't have much effect.
The lead bullet has a soft texture. After it hits the human body, it will deform due to resistance, causing the damage in the human body to go deeper, the greater the wound.
If you are unlucky and get pierced by a lead bullet, you will form a wound several times larger than the diameter of the projectile in the part that is strung out.
The wound in front may be as big as a thumb cover, but the wound on the back may be as big as a bowl.
The most terrifying thing is that once the lead residue is shot into the human body, it is difficult to remove it. Even if it is taken out, it will die in pain due to lead poisoning.
On the ship tower, the Ming army's long bowmen also used arrows to suppress the pirates who stepped onto the Ming army's warships.
The pirates did not have long-range firepower, but the Ming army's firearms were too strong before and were completely suppressed. Now, the pirates' musketeers and archers can calmly show their skills.
The deck pirates and Ming soldiers fought together, and from time to time, a gun sounded, and arrows flew around on both sides of the deck.
The Ming sabre player used wooden cards to protect the retreating musketeers, and then held a scimitar and a long sword to fight the pirates in close combat.
On the ship tower, the Ming army archers shot against the pirates on the pirate ship. The Ming army's hard bow range and accurate head were stronger than the pirates. In just a few dozen breaths, more than a dozen pirate archers were shot to death by the Ming army.
"Sir, the sword is ruthless, please go back to the cabin to hide." A Xie Zhan rushed to the ship building with blood in his arms, holding a wooden sign in his hand, looking at Xiao Wu with a look of horror. The main general was still on the ship building, which surprised him.
"No need to take care of me, immediately lead the sword soldiers to drive these pirates off the deck." Xiao Wu was not afraid of danger in the chaos, and more than a dozen personal soldiers were guarding him.
Seeing that the main ship of the Ming army was surrounded by several pirate ships, several naval town generals were so scared that they hurriedly led the warships to surround them.
On the sea far away, Muhanweili stood at the bow of the ship. Seeing that Xiao Wu's main ship was surrounded by several large pirate ships, the Ming navy warships rushed to rescue him, and he couldn't help but look happy.
"All warships are pressed down and surrounded the Ming army." Muhanvilli laughed loudly, and in the end he had the upper hand.
Although the number of pirate ships on the sea is far more than that on the Ming army's warships, as long as the Ming army is eaten, the sea area in northern Luzon is still owned by Muhanvilli.
Most of the Ming army's warships were large ships, even bird ships were seven or eight feet in size, and the large and small artillery cannons were fully equipped.
Most pirate ships are small clutches. One ship may not have enough artillery, but it cannot withstand the number of pirate ships.
Soon the Ming army navy was surrounded by pirate ships.
Several pirate ships surrounded Xiao Wu's main ship, and several Ming army's large sailboats saved their masters. As a result, a large number of bird ships and Haicang ships surrounded them and scattered near several large sailboats.
The pirate ship took the opportunity to surround Ming army ships in three layers inside and three layers outside.
It is not ordinary for pirates who can traverse this sea. Although their firearms are not as good as the Ming army, they do not need to be inferior to the Ming army in terms of water quality and even ship control, and they are even more familiar with this sea area.
With the melee between the two sides, the distance between the ships was not very far. Many pirates who were proficient in water actually jumped into the sea, bit their daggers, and sneaked into the sea like fish to quickly swam towards the Ming army's bird boat and other fast sailing.
Under such a chaotic situation, the Ming army sailors on the Clippers would not have expected that there would be a group of sea monkeys under the water.
Several pirates touched the bird boat and jumped into the deck. A Ming army gunner could not dodge as much as a dagger to penetrate his chest.
The Ming army sailor felt a stinging pain in his chest, and the lead bullet in his hand couldn't help but slide down. The last thing he saw in his horrified eyes was a face that was cracked and smiling.
"Nimunanma." Wang An shouted violently, took out the musket from his waist and knocked it down, directly smashing the back of the pirate's head.
Ming army officers can basically be equipped with a flintlock pistol, which is considered a close-up defensive firearm for Ming army officers.
Wang An had been reluctant to use it before. Seeing the two bodies falling straight into the sea, Wang An also became cold all over. Who would have thought that these pirates would dare to sneak into the sea and touch the Ming army's warships?
Several pirates who had touched the boat were driven out of the sea by the Ming army sailors who had reacted, but they also made the Ming army sailors on the boat mess up.
Not only Wang An's ship, many Ming army ships were also attacked by pirates, and the sea conditions were unstable. Even though the ships were not too far away on the surging sea, many pirates were still drowned on the sea by waves and artillery fire.
On the main ship, the Ming army officers and soldiers finally drove the pirates off the deck. Several large sailboats rushed over. The heavy artillery on the ship bombarded and smashed heavy shells onto the pirate ship. The sea was covered with wood chips, blood and bursts of white smoke.
"Sir, our army has been surrounded by pirates." Xu Bin's face was defeated, and there were pirate ships around him. His warships were gradually submerged by pirates.
"Sir, most of the pirate ships on the right are Clippers. Let's break through in that direction." A co-leader said.
