Late Tang

Both Redbeard and Blackbeard hadn't been seen since the start of the war.Disappeared with them were all the warships except for the twenty or so burning warships at the pier, and nearly two thousand pirates.

During the battle, the cannons and ballistas on the pier were launched simultaneously, and then hundreds of pirates came out with shields, blocking the one-eyed dragon pirates.With the sound of drums and the fluttering of battle flags, everyone thought that it was the fleet led by Li Jing who ambushed them here, so there were at least two to 3000 people on the pier.Until now, no one has realized that they are not fighting Li Jing at all, but fighting Zhen Donghai.If they knew, they would know that not all of the ambush army was on the pier in the harbor.

As early as when Shamen Town was discussing the plan, Li Jing had already obtained the detailed topography of Tieshan Harbor, and made the whole plan on this basis.

Yellow beard looked at the pirate lying on the ground, and his heart was full of complexities.The pirate team led by the One-Eyed Jiao is called the One-Eyed Jiao, and it can be regarded as a well-known pirate force in the Liaohai Sea. Even because they had the secret support of the Wang family before, they acted more arrogantly than Zhendonghai and the others.But now, the one-eyed jellyfish Zheng Balang is dead, and his lair has been breached by his troops. Now Zheng Balang's younger brother, Zheng Me, also brought the last one-eyed jellyfish and hundreds of people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

They were also pirates, and they all defected to the official army one after another, but the results were very different.They are the winners, but the Cyclops will be removed from today.He originally wanted to kill the grass and roots, but since Duan Shan rushed to say that he wanted to stay, it must have been Li Jing's confession in advance.

"Stop attacking!"

Thick smoke billowed in the harbor and flames rose.There are burning warships and broken planks everywhere on the sea, and from time to time, the bows of some warships that are about to sink can be seen rising high above the sea amidst the thick smoke.The crew, sailors and soldiers that can be seen everywhere at sea are bobbing and sinking in the waves, swimming and struggling.

The surviving fleet in Daxie village had already escaped the attack range of the cannonball, and throwing the magic fire only occasionally hit the poor soldiers at sea.

"Leaders, let them run away like this?" The pirate leader who commanded the gunners said a little unwillingly. Just now he commanded the gunners to sink the two largest warships in the officer's fleet. This pride is in his heart Forget it.Traveling across the sea for many years, they used to rob merchant ships at most, and they didn't even need to do anything when they encountered some cooperative caravans.Why was it like this today, they actually confronted the officers and soldiers of dozens of warships head-on, and even beat them to death and fled.

"They can't escape, but the brothers have worked hard just now, so we don't need to worry about it. Let's take care of the prisoners. There are still a lot of fish in the sea. Get a few small boats and catch them all. General Ji Yu likes population the most, no matter what it is, he can exchange it for money. Maybe we can catch big fish like Feng Ming and Wu Qian."

Everyone laughed together. In the previous battle, they sank many battleships. The two largest battleships, Guanglingbo and Nuhai, had more than a thousand soldiers and crews.These two warships were burnt down irreparably after being hit by divine fire. Most of the people on board jumped into the sea, some were picked up by other ships, and most of them are still in the sea.Yellow Beard wasn't afraid of them escaping, and if they had the ability, they swam back to Dengzhou directly.As long as they stay on the pier, they can only swim ashore in the end.

"Old Zhao, quickly count the results of the battle." Yellow Beard shouted, and now he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and he was so excited that he couldn't sit still.

The old man smiled, "Great victory! Great victory." Flipping the scroll in his hand, the goatee on his chin couldn't help moving in excitement, and read aloud: "Just now we used 29 old boats as bait, Successfully lured the enemy into the port. In this battle, a total of 310 and seven one-eyed dragons were wiped out, more than 650 were captured, and [-] pirate warships were sunk. In addition, we also sank a Wuya Building ship in Daxie Village. A three-story battleship. There are also four yachts, two sea falcon ships, and one walker."

"A total of nine large and small warships in Daxiezhai and eleven one-eyed dragon warships were clapped."

"Okay, good fight." Yellow Beard laughed and clapped his hands, "There is a fighting ship on the first floor, two sea falcons, and one walking ship. This almost sank half of the opponent's main battleship. Then Come down to see the other two masters."

Just as he was speaking, there was a sudden whining horn sound from the direction of the harbor exit.

In the black smoke that filled the sky, the surviving fleet that had just desperately escaped the artillery and ballista attacks on the dock was breathing a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sailed out of the harbor.But at this time, two fleets, one east and one west, appeared in front of them with air sails, about to block their retreat.

Feng Ming was sitting in the cabin of an iron-clad sea falcon boat with his whole body wet, his face was still in shock.At the beginning of the battle, when he saw that the battleship Rage, which was incomparably powerful in the past, was completely sunk by the ambush army with a wave of artillery, he was completely frightened and lost his square inch.He just stood blankly on the upper boat for a full quarter of an hour, when the people below came to ask for orders, he also forgot to answer.When he finally came back to his senses and ordered the entire fleet to retreat, he found that the battlefield had already become a mess.

The other battleships that could not wait for the order directly left him and fled under the attack of the opponent's incomparably powerful but mysterious weapons.The Limbo ship was also fleeing, but it was a pity that the ship was too big, but it didn't have as many oarsmen as the fighting ship.As a result, they did not escape in the end, and were hit by a dense ballista, and then the terrible black clay pot shattered, and finally swallowed the entire building.Feng Ming didn't jump into the sea, he fled in a speedboat under the guard of his servants, and finally boarded the nearest iron-clad sea falcon boat to escape.

The captain of the Sea Falcon shouted loudly, reminding Feng Ming that an enemy ship appeared ahead, blocking their way back.

"Speed ​​up the paddle, hit it, hit it!" Feng Ming suddenly jumped up, pointing at the space in front of the two fleets that hadn't been encircled, and shouted loudly.The Alpine Sea Falcon ship was struggling to move forward, but there was a yacht in front of them firmly blocking their way, Feng Ming immediately yelled and bumped into it, breaking a path.He was afraid that if he was one step too late, he would be completely surrounded by enemy ships.Although the number of the two fleets in front adds up to a lot, it is estimated that there are seventy or eighty ships, but judging from their appearance, they are mostly sea-going ships. Just a fighting ship.

But now Feng Ming was so frightened that he couldn't even have the slightest desire to fight.He just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, the farther away the better.

The captain of the Alpine immediately gave the order, aimed the iron ram on the bow straight at his yacht and rushed over.The ram of the Armored Sea Falcon hit the side of the yacht straightly, and with a bang, the yacht was cut off from the middle, and cut into two.The dozen or so soldiers on the yacht were thrown into the water all at once, and a few were even killed directly.

On the battleship Black Skull, Redbeard, who was in command, also spotted the Seafalcon ship, which was desperately fleeing.

"Boss, this boat is escaping so fast, there must be a big fish on it." A pirate laughed.

The red beard looked at the battlefield. Two fleets, one east and one west, had encircled and blocked the mouth of the harbor, blocking the way of the Daxiezhai fleet.However, it was not fully closed at this time, and there was still a little gap. Many warships from Daxie village were desperately rushing towards the gap, but no one organized a proper counterattack at all.Seeing all this, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and laughed, "Don't worry about him, he can't escape. Pass my order down, leave that gap, don't block it."

"What do you mean by that? These people can't be let go. If we let them go, we will be in trouble in the future."

The red beard smiled and said: "The city must be sieged, do you know what it means?" The pirate captain chuckled, he didn't know what it meant, you know, he is not a pirate. "It means that during the siege, if we deliberately let go of one side, there will be unexpected results. To put it bluntly, if we block all the gaps, then the enemy army who sees the blocked road will feel desperate and follow us The fish is dead."

"Look carefully. Although the enemy army is defeated, their warships are still stronger than ours. Now it's just a lack of command organization. If we really fight, we can wipe them out, but our own losses It's too big. Now we deliberately let go of a gap, so they won't have the heart to die, and they will only focus on running away. Look at the sea falcon ship before, in order to escape, they did not block the front My yacht was smashed in half directly from it."

"Master Gao Ming, in order to escape for their lives, they will fight themselves." The pirate captain laughed.

"Well, let's keep that gap, and just focus on the fighting ship and the sea falcons. These ships are the largest. Let's keep these ships first, and then go after the others."

At this time, the watchman in front suddenly reported loudly that the fighting ship in front was coming straight at him. He was too far from the gap and was blocked by too many ships.Then he planned to slam a path here, and the brand-new battleship more than twice the size of the Black Skull was rushing straight from the port side with a ram.

"Right full rudder!" Redbeard shouted, he was also a little surprised by the opponent's desperate impact, and quickly directed the response.The Black Skull quickly turned the rudder, and turned the ramming angle of the bow to the battleship Zhenhai.

For a moment, he was terrified, afraid that he would be hit and sunk if he moved too slowly. Fortunately, the tide helped the Black Skull in time. When the two sides finally collided, they just rubbed against each other. A piece of boat pulp was broken.A shattered and sharp piece of the ship flew over his head, sharp as a spear, and the red beard couldn't help shrinking his head. "Take the ship!" he cried aloud.The claw hook was thrown, he drew out the horizontal knife, and took the lead to climb over the parapet.
