Late Tang

The small harbor called Tieshan Bay by fishermen and pirates is rough and turbid.

Feng Ming's Lingbo Wuyalou ship sailed in the wind, the huge sea wind made the sails rattle, and the huge ship swayed with the undulating waves.Two battleships, Zhenhai and Nutao, which were only slightly smaller than the Lingbo ship, moved forward along the left and right.There are five sea falcon warships at the front and rear of these three giant ships, and the four modified iron wall share mouth sea falcon ships are in the forefront.

The dozen or so boats of the pirates were transferred to the forefront by Feng Ming, and they were used as death squads to lead the battle.

Seeing such a huge battleship group set up in such an orderly battle formation, Feng Ming was full of pride.Sure enough, it is worthy of being the well-trained navy of Daxie Village. Although they lost the command of Wu Qian, an experienced general, they can still maintain such a battle to the death just by relying on usual training, which is amazing.

When the fleet entered the harbor, Li Jing's fleet was on the shore ahead. Feng Ming could even see the panic on the temporary pier from a distance. Some people were rushing towards the boat, while others were running towards the pier.Several small boats have even started to try to escape.

The rumbling battle horns have already sounded, and the war drums and horns are sounding in unison. At this time, there is no need to hide anything.The sound of the horn passed through the sea, low and depressing, like the roar of the devil underground.

"Leave the sails!" Feng Ming ordered loudly, "Lower the masts and paddle!" The orderly behind him immediately conveyed the order over and over again.The deck was busy, and the soldiers took their positions one after another, standing behind the parapet on the ship.At this moment when the sails are furled, Feng Ming feels that everything has been won.He has successfully blocked Li Jing and his fleet in the small harbor, and Li Jing has become the turtle in the urn.At this time, what he was thinking about was how to minimize his losses so as to obtain more brilliant results.

The purpose of furling the sails is to prevent the enemy from dying, and being attacked by their rockets and other attacks, so as not to ignite the warship.

Feng Ming looks to the left, there are four warships and assault ships, the same configuration as the one on the right, also four ships.However, the four warships on the right were warships conscripted by other forts in Daxie Village, while the four ships on the left belonged to Heishan Fort.The commanders on these four ships were all Wu Qian's subordinates. After Wu Qian was left on the ship by him, those officers even came to inquire.These four ships are used as assault ships, and the number of them is not large. There are forty sailors, fifty soldiers, and less than a hundred people.Wu Qian was a seasoned lieutenant of the navy. The number of sailors and soldiers on his ship was about the same, a total of no more than fifty, and the soldiers were all light soldiers wearing leather armor and holding bows and arrows.This allows his boat to maintain the fastest speed.

The sound of war drums sounded again, and Feng Ming ordered: "The whole army assaults!"

Accompanied by the neat and huge rhythm of the war drum, all the oars skillfully paddled the oars in the cabin under the armor plate of the battleship with the drum beat as the rhythm.Every time the drum beats, the oars of the oarsmen move.

The Zhenhai and the Raging Wave kept advancing at the same speed as the building ships, and the rest of the warships followed closely like a pack of wolves.

The pirate, Zheng Mo, was eager to lead the Gu family, and without Feng Ming's command, he had already led a dozen boats and a thousand pirates rushed to the front.Although their warships were not as good as Fengming's, they were paddling desperately at this moment, leaving Fengming's fleet far behind.More than a dozen boats quickly approached the fleet on the pier. Seeing them killing them quickly, the people on the pier seemed a little unresponsive.

When they approached within a hundred steps, there was no response from the boat, only a lot of figures on the deck could be vaguely seen.On the contrary, the people on the pier had already rushed to fight. They hurriedly piled up sandbags on the pier, pulled over a few ballista catapults, and started shooting at them.

However, the scale of the shooting was too small, most of the arrows fell into the sea water sparsely, and the stone bullets thrown by several catapults in a hurry only caused a few sprays near the pirate battleship.

"Come forward, fight on board, jump on their boat!" Zheng Mo roared loudly, blushing and thick neck.There was anger and excitement in his eyes.He was angry because he knew that the old nest must have been destroyed, maybe everyone's family had been wiped out.And the excitement is because there is a huge opportunity in front of him right now. After these damned Samana town troops attacked their lair, they haven't had time to withdraw yet.And by this time, there were not many soldiers on their ships ready.

This is a great opportunity to seize their warships. If these warships can be captured, even if they are only armed and modified merchant ships, with these ships and the brothers behind him, it will not take long for them to pull back a team. .What's more, with Feng Zhang's promise to protect her, it's only a matter of time before she returns to her former glory.

Amidst the passionate drums, Feng Ming suddenly thought of Wu Qian, and asked him to take him from the cabin to the fifth deck to watch the battle with him.He wants to show Wu Qian, who is always a little rebellious and looks down on him in his eyes, that he is not the only one who can command battles. He has also started to learn the six arts since he was a child, learning military tactics, riding and shooting knives and guns, and even reached Daxie. Zhaihou also studied the command of warships at sea for more than half a year with an old warship captain appointed by Feng Zhang.

A brilliant victory is about to be achieved, Li Jing can destroy the one-eyed flood dragon in the first battle, but so what, in the end he was defeated under my command.He couldn't wait to see Li Jing being captured alive by his subordinates, so he could take a good look at his expression at that time.

Wu Qian stood on the deck and immediately looked around to see the situation on the entire battlefield.Although Feng Ming took away his command and put him under house arrest in the cabin.But at the bottom of his heart, he is still a soldier, a naval captain.Following Fengzhang for more than ten years, he trained at sea, patrolled, and even suppressed bandits.His familiarity with commanding battleships far exceeds that of a dandy like Feng Ming. Even in his early years, he relied on hand-to-hand battles on the deck again and again, and he got his current position through life and death.

This kind of battle now made him feel strange and worried. They had never fought like this before.

If he had been replaced by a military envoy or he was in command of the battle, he would never have rushed straight there so recklessly.He would immediately blockade the harbor first, and then send a few warships to investigate the enemy's actual situation, but immediately stormed.In Wu Qian's view, regardless of the actual situation of the enemy forces in the harbor, as long as the exit of the harbor is blocked first, the battle is already guaranteed.You don't even need to fight at all, you can directly trap them to death.

Wu Qian immediately raised his concerns and suggestions to Feng Ming, but Feng Ming just laughed and patted him on the shoulder, as if he was his subordinate.There was even more contempt in that gaze, as if mocking his courage.

There are more than 40 warships on Feng Ming's side, while the other party has only a dozen warships refitted from merchant ships. Feng Ming is not worried at all. He thinks that under such a comparison of strength, any caution is unnecessary. Being cautious is just a sign of courage.Moreover, he felt that the other party hadn't expected their sudden appearance at all, and now was a great opportunity to take the opportunity to annihilate the other party in one fell swoop. It would be really stupid to miss this opportunity and wait for the other party to calmly react.

The bay was filled with the rumble of drums and horns, the clamor of warriors, and the crash of countless oars against the waves.

"Go up, go up!" Feng Ming shouted loudly, "The pirates have already fought each other, why are you still dawdling behind, do you want to wait until the pirates have won all the victory, before you rush to help them Clean the horses?"

Seeing that the pirate had already fought the opponent, and the battle seemed to be completely on his side, the opponent reacted hastily, unable to fight back at all.The pirate's ship has already approached the opponent's warship, is throwing the hook, and is quickly climbing to the ship.

Feng Ming felt that the momentary hesitation in his heart just now was a little timid, and he was annoyed by it.He gave Wu Qian a hard look, and said angrily: "The battle is about to begin, and the ship is dangerous. It's better for Captain Wu to go back to the cabin for safety." Take it away, out of sight and out of sight.

"Woooooo!"

The sound of the loud horn sounded quickly. This was the sound of a full-scale attack. The sound of this horn already meant that even the formation of the fleet did not need to be too careful.

The speed of the building boat is not comparable to other warships when it is under sail. It can only move forward slowly. Feng Zhang saw on the battleship that not only the pirates have successfully approached the enemy's warship, but they are even more so at this time. After successfully boarding the opponent's warship, I was scratching my head, wishing I could fly to the front with my wings and become the first person to board the opponent's warship.

The ships and docks in the distance are approaching, and the woods and crowds on the dock are getting bigger and bigger.Tieshan Bay is just a small barren harbor, because behind the harbor, there are no plains and cities, but only a dense and boundless forest. This harbor is only inhabited by some fishermen, and the woods that the loggers will cut down Shipping here, and sailing from here.

On both sides of the narrow pier, there are several tall piles of wood. These are logs that have been felled and transported. They are ready to wait for the trade wind to rise and be shipped to Dengzhou or even further to Yangzhou, Yuezhou, and Guangzhou.Now, these piles of wood are like several tall fortresses standing on both sides of the pier.

The enemy ships on the pier began to have people retreating from the boats to the pier. Feng Ming was full of excitement. It seemed that Li Jing's fleet was not only blocked by him in the harbor, but also directly captured by the pirates before they had time to go out to sea. seized.No, it was captured by him, and these pirates also achieved this victory under his wise command.

He paced back and forth on the deck, and now he regretted taking this huge ship. He should have taken a sea falcon before the battle started, so that he could board the pier as soon as possible, and hunt down and kill Li Jing. That nasty guy.
