1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 12

"Dahai, Dahai! Master Cao sent a signal to each ship to break out!" On a Haicang boat, Lao Sun first grabbed Qi Dahai's arm and shouted loudly.

Qi Dahai shot an arrow at the opposite ship thirty steps away, nailing a sailor who was manipulating a muzzle to the deck, and then supported the old grandson to lower his head to avoid the opponent's shotgun attack.

"Old Sun, how can we get out at this time... Zheng Zhilong's boats are everywhere!"

"Liu Xiang ran away! He left us and ran away!... We can't stand it anymore, so we should retreat before the boats behind us surround us! Master Cao has sent a signal to break out of the encirclement separately. "

"Liu Xiang ran away?... Fuck his grandma!" Qi Dahai spat out the thick phlegm in his mouth.After speaking, he ran to the sailor, ready to break through.

Borrowing the weak northwest wind, the Haicang boat evaded the interception of Zheng Zhilong's small boats, trying to follow Cao Xiong's big boat and break out towards the southeast.

Qi Dahai looked back, the sails of his two small Cangshan boats were hit by Fran's machine guns and spray guns in the battle just now, and they caught fire. They couldn't turn around in time, and were surrounded by Zheng Zhilong's six or seven boats. I'm afraid more bad luck than good luck.

"Boom! Boom!..." A row of artillery roared, and immediately, seven or eight red bullets shot from a three-masted gunboat in the slant.Four shells missed, three shells hit the hull, smashing the sides of the ship, and one shell hit the deck, knocking down two sailors and rolling twice, seeing that they couldn't live.

"Pull the sail and turn!" Qi Dahai shouted loudly when he saw the three-masted gunboat rushing diagonally across.You must avoid this big ship, otherwise, based on the strength of the two sides, you will definitely be sunk.

The Haicang boat turned with difficulty, and several sailors frantically adjusted the horizontal sail, avoiding to the side.

"Boom! Boom!..." Two minutes later, the three-masted gunboat fired another salvo.This time, six shells hit the Hai Cang boat, and two shells even hit the waterline under the side of the ship.

The turbulent sea water rushed in quickly, seven or eight sailors saw it, and immediately took out various tools to try to drain the water, but the hull began to tilt to one side uncontrollably.

"Third Uncle, Big Brother and his ship were hit!..." Qi Dajiang exclaimed.

"Fuck him!... Lean over! Let me beat them too!" Cao Xiong roared.

Four Hongyi cannons and twelve Frang machine cannons were deployed on the Asuka big ship. Although it was not as powerful as the three-masted gunboat, it was not to be underestimated.

"My lord, that ship is going to sink!" A big man stood at the bow of the ship and pointed at the Hai Cang ship, and said to Zheng Cai with a smile.

"Hmph, Liu Xiang and these small boats still want to fight with our Zheng family!" Zheng Cai sneered, "Shoot a few more rounds and try to sink it!"

The Haicang boat was still trying to control the hull, while adjusting the sail direction, and fled towards the southwest.

"Boom! Boom!..." The three-masted gunboat chased after it, closing the distance a little more, and then fired several salvos, setting one side of the Haicang boat on fire, and the other several rounds were fired. The shell hit the side of the ship again, creating several large holes, which exacerbated the tilt of the Haicang ship.

"They're going to sink! Get ready to catch up with the Nets!"

"Boom! Boom!..." Suddenly, several shells were fired from the rear, hitting the three-masted gunship and the stern of the ship, and the wood was splashed. Two sailors were affected, and one covered his face. One folded his arms, screaming miserably.

The three-masted gunboat paused for a moment, and then, like an enraged monster, it left the Haicang boat that was about to be silent, and slowly turned around, preparing to punish the enemy who dared to offend itself.

With its flexible hull, the big ship Asuka drew a beautiful oblique curve on the side of the three-masted ship, avoiding the flanks of the gunboat, and gradually approached the Haicang boat that was at the same level as the sea.

The Haicang boat was tilted to one side, and some sailors had given up, diving into the water one after another, and then swam desperately to the distance.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Qi Dajiang and Qi Dalu leaned on the side of the boat, looking at the Haicang boat that was slowly sinking.

The bird boat sailed quickly to the vicinity of the Haicang boat, and the sailors threw many wooden barrels into the sea, and some threw ropes at the drowning people who swam nearby.

"Boom! Boom!..." The three-masted gunboat, which had completed its turn, was bombarding with the small Frangler cannons on the bow while sailing towards the big bird.

The big ship Asuka was not to be outdone, relying on the large and small artillery on the flanks to fight back violently.

The tenacious attack of the Asuka ship instantly attracted other ships of Zheng Zhilong's fleet nearby. They quickly adjusted their direction and surrounded the Asuka ship.

"Master Cao, we have to retreat!" Several men said anxiously. Through the dim afterglow, they saw that the three-masted gunboat had approached less than a hundred paces, and was slowly turning sideways so that Bombard them with numerous cannons flanking them.At the same time, three or four Haicang ships approached on both sides of the bird ship, and fired at them impatiently.

"Can't withdraw!" Qi Dalu roared, "My brother hasn't caught it yet!"

"Mainland, it's getting so dark, how can we see the sea clearly!" A man said, "Perhaps, your elder brother hasn't had time to jump off the boat yet!"

"Fart your mother!" Qi Dalu drew out his dagger, "Don't withdraw until my brother is rescued!"

"Master Cao!..." The others looked at Cao Xiong.

"Boom! Boom..." The three-masted gunboat on the opposite side completed its turn and fired a salvo.Because of poor visibility, only two shells hit amidships, sending sawdust flying apart.

"Go to the side!" Cao Xiong kicked Qi Dalu off the bow, "Raise the schooner!... Let's retreat!"

"Third uncle! I don't care about my elder brother..." Qi Dalu rolled over and got up from the ground, and shouted at Cao Xiong.

Seeing that Cao Xiong ignored him with a cold face, Qi Dalu turned to look at Qi Dajiang sadly and angrily, "Second brother! Eldest brother..."

Qi Dajiang stared at the dark sea, he knew that maybe if it was delayed for a while, the Asuka ship might be sunk like the Haicang ship, and everyone would die.He still has the third and fourth children who need to be taken care of, and brothers who live and die together who need to be kept alive.

"Boom! Boom!..." Zheng Zhilong's gunboat fired another salvo at this time, and three shells hit the side of the boat. Fortunately, they were not below the waterline.

"Damn it, hurry up and fire back!...Made, wait for the fire!" Cao Xiong glanced at the grief-stricken Qi brothers, gritted his teeth, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Third Uncle, don't fire." At this time, Qi Tian stepped forward and stopped in a low voice.

"What do you know, son of a bitch! You don't fire cannons, you just get beaten!" Cao Xiong glared at Qi Tian.

"It's already dark..." Qi Tian said.

"I know it's dark! What's wrong with it? It's dark and you're going to be beaten... Well,... don't fire! Stop it! Put out all the other fires on the boat!" Cao Xiong suddenly understood, the sky was dark However, Zheng Zhilong's gunboat would not be able to find the target and hit it without the guidance of the fire.

The bird ship quietly adjusted the sails, and slowly moved the hull, preparing to take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement.Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong's gunboat fired two more rounds of volleys, all of which were missed.But what is worrying is that as the point of impact gets closer, maybe the next round of salvo will be hit.

"Turn the rudder and raise the sails! Let's... let's go!" Cao Xiong shouted softly when he saw that the horizontal sail had been switched, and the strong northwest wind inflated the sail.The flying bird boat quickly drew a horizontal line across the sea, before Zheng Zhilong's fleet formed an encirclement circle, taking advantage of the darkness, it sailed towards the southeast.

The remaining ships of Cao Xiong's troops were no longer interested in fighting, they set up their sails one after another, followed closely behind, and fled desperately under the intensive attack of Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

However, seven or eight ships were either intercepted by Zheng's fleet, or were damaged and sunk by artillery fire. Under the sky full of fire, they looked extremely miserable.When Zheng Zhimang arrived from behind, two Cangshan boats from Cao Xiong's department were sunk. The boiling sea water was covered with broken ship planks and ups and downs of sailors.

As soon as the two fleets of Zheng Cai and Zheng Zhimang converged, without making any adjustments, they quickly separated more than ten ships to continue chasing the fleeing ships, and the remaining ships joined forces, turned their bows, turned to the southwest, and chased Liu Xiang's brigade. go.
