"Baizi Gun is raised." Wang An shouted loudly, and the waves rush up, soaking the armor.

"Sir, the gunpowder is all soaked." A sailor roared with a sad face.

The sea breeze whirrs,

"Boom boom boom..."

More than a dozen pirate warships opened fire one after another, and iron bombs flew out of the cannon chambers, drew an arc in the air, and smashed the Ming army warships on the sea.

"Dongdongdongdongdong."

Several iron bullets passed through the deck and fell straight into the sea, smashing out several huge water columns.

"Sir, break through quickly. When all the pirates' main warships are pressed up, they will be finished." A deputy general roared, and the long sword in his hand had collapsed several holes.

Xiao Wu looked around and several Ming army sailboats rushing over were dragging long thick smoke at this time.

"boom......"

The gunpowder compartment on a large sailboat was ignited, and buckets of black gunpowder burned rapidly and exploded violently. The entire hull collapsed, leaving most of the wreckage burning on the sea surface, and the smoke could not dissipate for a long time.

Several large bird boats had been fired, and the flames engulfed the main mast, and the brand new sails were burning. From time to time, a soldier screamed and fell into the sea.

"Press up and beat me hard." Muhanvilli's main ship also joined the naval battle.

He personally supervised a cannon position on the deck.

"Xiao Wu, go down and get buried with Li Tianyou." Muhanweili looked at the blessed ship with black smoke rising from a distance, and couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, the sound of cannons became more and more intense.

"Okay, okay!" Muhanweili laughed hideously, and the rumbling cannons sounded on the sea made him look relaxed.

But soon my smile suddenly stopped, and there were obviously fewer shells flying in front of me, and even fewer water columns were lifted.

But the rumbling sound of cannons is getting closer and closer.

"What's going on? Are you blinding the eagle?" Muhanvilli cursed and hurried back to the boat building.

"The Ming people, the Ming people's ship."

When Muhanweili returned to the boat building cursingly, a roar came from the lookout.

Muhanvilli was stunned,

Haven’t the Ming people’s ships and the Ming people’s warships been surrounded by themselves?

In order to besiege the Ming Navy, Muhanweili had lost more than 30 ships.

The huge sea was filled with burning wrecks of ships and wood chips, and broken floating corpses.

"The reinforcements from the Ming people are coming." A clearer word came from the lookout whistle.

In the sea battle with the rumbling sound of cannons, no matter how heart-wrenching the sailors on the lookout post were, the pirates on the deck could not hear clearly, but Muhanweili, who had just returned to the ship building, faintly heard this sentence.

Muhanweili was stunned, then hurriedly looked into the sea in the distance.

On the sea outside the battlefield, more than a dozen cruising pirate ships were surging black smoke, and several even lit up fire.

A large sailboat flying a bright flag rushed over with great momentum and directly smashed a five-meter-long pirate clutch that was blocking the ship.

Behind this large sailboat, one ship after another of similar sizes appeared in front of Muhanvilli.

"Ming people, Ming people's warship!" On a pirate ship, a pirate leader looked at the Ming army armed merchant ships rushing into the encirclement in surprise. He was too familiar with these Western merchant ships.

The pirates who had been robbing the coast of Luzon for many years were too impressed by these Spanish ships, but the flags hung on the ship made them even more frightened.

"Run quickly, turn the rudder quickly." The pirate leader was scared and roared shrillly.

He didn't understand why the Ming army warships on the sea were surrounded, and so many larger three-masted sailboats emerged.

"Sir, the Navy of Fubo Town has arrived." Xu Bin couldn't help crying after seeing the flag of Fubo Town.

"Sir, General Li is here to save us." The Ming army officers and soldiers who were standing here on the boat building shouted loudly, their faces filled with joy of escaping from death.

Fubo Town was obviously trying his best. The more than ten armed merchant ships in the two towns on both sides did not line up and bombard the pirates with artillery on the ship, but directly chose to rush into the pirates' encirclement.

Just like more than ten male lions suddenly broke into a group of hyenas, instantly tearing the pirates' encirclement.

"Du Li, you're here."

Looking at the Ming Navy warship rushing in, Xiao Wu sighed to the sky.

As early as half a month ago when he was about to destroy Muhanweili, he had already written to Li Du from the Bataan Islands, asking him to lead the Fubo fleet to go south to wipe out the pirates.

Three days ago, a Clippers also sent a message saying that the Navy of Fubo Town had passed through the strait.

I originally wanted to join forces with Fubo Town to wipe out Muhanweili, but at the last moment, Muhanweili chose to lead a fleet to directly attack Dayu Island. The navy army, who ran into the Ming army on the way, caught the Ming army off guard.

Now when the navy from Fubo Town came to his sight, even Xiao Wu was crying with joy.

It must be that after the Clippers in Fubo Town landed on the island, they found that the pirates disappeared. When they noticed that the pirates were heading south to Dayu Island, Li Du immediately led the fleet to the south and finally caught up at the last moment.

Duke Li did not let Xiao Wu down on his life-saving grace. Seeing that the warships in the Navy were surrounded by pirates, he hurriedly rushed over with the Navy in the two towns.

The nine-pound cannons on more than a dozen armed sailboats roared, and they fired lead bullets and drove more than a dozen pirate clutches cruising on the periphery to fire, causing bursts of black smoke.

As the pirates on the periphery were defeated, the pirates surrounded by the Ming army's sailing ships in the middle also collapsed.

Before one pirate ship after another met the Ming army who was slaughtering over, he hurriedly ran to the periphery.

Just now, he was able to surround the Ming army by relying on his numerical advantage, but as many pirate ships fled to the periphery, the pressure on the main ship of the surrounded Ming army was suddenly greatly reduced.

Seeing this scene, Wang An also worked hard and shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time to beat the dog in the water. Beat me hard."

"Sir, our gunpowder has been soaked, and a cannon has been hoarse." A sailor said with a sad face.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Before Wang An could curse, several Ming army eagle ships with sharp tips rushed over.

On the sea, the Ming army's three-masted sailboats were pressing against the pirate ships, while these eagle ships and bird ships drove out the pirate ships.

"Bang bang bang." Flashes of muskets sounded, and white smoke rose up on the eagle boat.

The musketeers of the Ming army's Huben Town and Fubo Town have begun to use paper packs to set up gunpowder. Before the war, they put enough black gunpowder into the paper pack, and confirmed that the amount of black gunpowder filled during battle would not be too big, and the firing speed should be faster.

Not far away, the pirates on a pirate clutch screamed, and several pirates fell into the sea with a plop.

These Ming army musket soldiers used paper bags with the characteristics of the use of gunpowder to prevent the influx of gunpowder, and also controlled the amount of black gunpowder used during battle, avoiding the waste of black gunpowder during battle.

After all, during the battle, the musketeers basically measure the black gunpowder by their own feelings. After Liu Yu decided to use fixed gunpowder, he specifically looked for paper bags for wood to make rechargeable gunpowder in Luzon, and specially applied resin to prevent water and soak it.

For the use of black gunpowder, different muskets have different gunpowder components. If they are less powerful, they are prone to accidents. In this regard, the Ming army listened in detail to the opinions of the veterans of muskets on the amount of gunpowder and repeatedly tried them on the training ground.

The amount of single-shot gunpowder used by turtledove muskets, self-generated muskets and other light and heavy single-soldier muskets was finally determined.

Lin Xu silently looked at a pirate ship not far away, about thirty steps away from his own clutch. At this time, the pirates on the ship were in a mess by the previous round of volley shots.

Lin Xu skillfully bit open the medicine bag, put the black gunpowder into the barrel of the musket, and skillfully slide a heavy lead bullet into the barrel.
