As the teams from both sides got closer and closer, the sound of cannons became more intense! But Liu Guangting already felt that the fighter plane was coming! He shrinks his fleet together as much as possible to reduce the space. Then when the opponent rushes over, the advantage in the number of ships becomes a liability! Someone must maintain the speed of the boat, and someone must slow down the speed of the boat, otherwise they will be crowded together and cannot take advantage of the large number of people!
Sure enough, when the two sides approached more than 200 steps, many pirate ships had already slowed down, and the ones at the front were all relatively fast small ships! So Liu Guangting immediately shouted loudly: "Set off fireworks! Break out to the west!"
A soldier who had been waiting for orders at the hatch of the ship immediately lit the bamboo tube in his hand, and then a red firework flew straight into the sky, bursting into a ball of red fire! When the other ships saw the red flames in the sky, they turned their bows and rushed forward. At the same time, they fired artillery desperately in an attempt to block those small boats at the periphery!
Seeing their intention to escape, those small boats accelerated and rushed over, trying to intercept them completely! Especially the pirates on the west side, they were traveling in the opposite direction of Liu Guangting's fleet, and they were approaching very fast! They were even close enough to shoot at each other!
So they desperately started shooting rockets, hoping to cause a fire on the other side's ship! Liu Guangting's side fought back with muskets and crossbow arrows!
Liu Guangting's boat is the largest and heaviest, so he plays the role of an arrow! The six cannons on the ship took turns to fire, firing cannonballs at all approaching boats! Due to the condescending position, the shotguns exerted their greatest power, ripping holes in all the pirates left on the deck!
In particular, the two cannons measuring strings in front of the vehicle were fully loaded with gunpowder. When they crossed paths with the pirate boats, they fired a round at the deck and cabin! After a blow, there will often be no living people on the deck except for the pirates who are hiding!
After breaking through the ground connection of the boat, Liu Guangting not only did not feel relieved, but also lifted the boat higher! Because now there are pirate ships all around! They also have more artillery and more people on them! Read the book
At this moment, standing at the cabin door, he suddenly saw a flash of fire from the corner of his eye, and immediately retracted half of his body that was sticking out of the cabin door! Then a dense cloud of shotguns flew over and hit the deck and the ship's house, making a dense sound of wood splintering!
At this time, Liu Guangting could no longer care about anything else. He leaned out and looked forward. He saw two or several large ships approaching from the opposite side! And the artillery on a ship was pointing right at him! Upon seeing this, Liu Guangting hurriedly retracted his body and shouted loudly: "Shake to the left!"
The order was quickly passed to the back of the ship and executed. Just when the ship shuddered and tilted to the left, a cannon shot from the opposite side was heard. A solid cannonball smashed a plug and then changed direction and flew into the sea!
Liu Guangting immediately stuck his head out and looked forward again. The first thing he saw was that two sailors were stabbed by sawdust, and their companions rushed to rescue them. Looking at Qian again, I found that the ship's course had been corrected just right! The helmsman, who had been working with him for so long, fully understood what he meant, and now the bow of the ship was facing the gap between the two pirate ships!
The pirates lacked training and left too much space between the two ships. And according to the requirements for intercepting enemy ships, they should have turned the ship sideways long ago. But Liu Guangting knew from their hesitant movements that they had no determination to intercept him! After all, they are just pirates and do not have the consciousness of soldiers to sacrifice themselves for victory!
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, his ship passed through the middle of the two pirate ships smoothly. Both pirate ships were counting on the other side to intercept them, but no one took action! This is pirates. They have no determination to fight to the death. When they find themselves in danger, they flee faster than anyone else!
However, Liu Guangting had no intention of letting them go. When he passed them, he directed the sailors to fire cannons and muskets at the opponent's ship as hard as they could, causing sawdust to fly across the opponent's ship and blood to flow everywhere! This forced the two ships to spread out to the left and right involuntarily, giving way to the channel behind them!
Liu Guangting was overjoyed when he saw a breakthrough! He immediately gave the order: "Sign the flag and order the four following ships to block both sides of the gap and prevent it from closing! Then order the fleet behind to speed up and rush out!"
Just then Liu Guangting heard Liu Ming shouting: "Uncle Guangting, Liu Yi
That bastard is coming! "
When Liu Guangting heard this, there was a "thump" in his head and he almost fainted! He stood firm and looked toward the two islands not far away. He saw seven or eight ships coming out from behind the two islands. They gathered together, raised their sails, and rushed towards the battlefield at full speed!
The fleet that suddenly appeared was Liu Guangting's ambush! In this battle, he brought out all the ships. Most of them will be led by him. He will pretend to be ambushed, fight and retreat, and lure Li Dazui and the others here.
Then, while the two sides were entangled, the ambush suddenly came out! Li Dazui, who could definitely be killed under a two-pronged attack, was defeated! It's a pity that they didn't expect that Li Dazui invited two more people for reinforcements, which made them passive!
The man who led the ambush was also a servant of Gu Ningbo's house, named Liu Yi. This person's character is just like his name, he is very loyal! When he saw that his companions were surrounded, he was already furious, but no signal came yet and he did not dare to act rashly!
As a result, he waited and waited but when he got the signal for the entire army to retreat, Liu Yi gave up! Although he knew that Liu Guangting meant for him to withdraw and defend the settlement, he still couldn't help but rush out!
Seeing this situation, Liu Guangting could only helplessly say loudly: "Sign up and ask all those who rush out to join Liu Yi immediately, and then sail westward with all your strength! The ships blocking the gap will come to the rear!"
But before the semaphore was finished, another fleet of pirates was seen heading towards Liu Yi to intercept him! Liu Guangting knew it was the puffer fish team as soon as he saw the flag! It seems that this guy didn't use all his strength and still had one hand left!
After giving the order, Liu Guangting looked behind him and saw the four ships following him circling in groups of two. They kept firing at the pirate ships trying to get closer, trying to maintain a narrow channel. Other ships were following the channel one after another. He rushed out and fired continuously to support the four ships.
Seeing this scene, Liu Guangting felt much relieved! When he was about to climb up to see if the fleet behind him was catching up, he heard the lookout on the mast scream loudly in a changed voice: "There is a fleet coming over on the starboard side!"
