1852: Fight to the death

In the night, dozens of merchant ships have been anchored, and countless lights have illuminated this sea area. Thanks to the large-scale application of Daming Auto Lights, all merchant ships are equipped with this kind of lamp.

The merchant ship was following Qi Ye's orders and posed for a fight.

Qi Ye's face turned pale. If he was now on the main warship of the past, he would not have any concerns about the Qi army, but would only be excited. But now, these armed merchant ships gave him no confidence at all.

"Brother Qi, why are we still staying here? Run, run away quickly!" A young man dressed in a noble family grabbed Qi Ye's arm and shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Qi Ye, who was busy, roared angrily, which made the noble young master change his color. As the son of the most powerful major shareholder of the China Federation of Trade Unions, in his opinion, Qi Ye was just a working boy they hired and a worker, but now, this guy seemed to not take him seriously at all. After his face changed several times, he decided to hold back his breath. After all, he had no countermeasures for the things he encountered in front of him. Even if he ran away, he needed a sea veteran like Qi Ye.

"We can't beat them." The noble young master shouted.

"Shut up!" Qi Ye was so angry that he fell and shouted again: "Do you think our morale is not low enough. Do you want to pour a basin of cold water on everyone? You want to die, don't drag me."

The noble young master was stunned and still understood this truth. As the young master of a rich man's family, he was a playboy, but it does not mean that he was stupid.

"Since Brother Qi also knows that we are not opponents, why don't you run away, but instead act like you want to fight a battle?" He lowered his voice and asked.

From the captured Qi army naval marines, they already knew the specific situation of the Qi navy coming this time.

"I want to run too, but can we run?" Qi Ye took a deep breath: "As soon as we ran, we died faster."

"What's the reason?"

Looking at the young man who knew nothing about naval battles, Qi Ye sighed: "Young Master, the people of Qi are all serious warships. These warships are not as good as our Ming Dynasty warships, but they are not comparable to those of our merchant ships. They are much stronger than us in terms of speed and other speed. When facing the battle head-on, we rely on more ships or have a little hope. If we escape, they will be killed one by one and no one can escape."

The noble young master's face turned pale, "How much hope do we have to win?"

"Not more than 30%." Qi Ye said seriously. "But it is better than escaping."

The noble young master's legs became weak and he almost fell down. Qi Ye grabbed him, "Young master, go down immediately, change into armor, pick up weapons, and prepare for battle. Once you fight, you will lose your sword and gun."

The noble young master's legs trembled like sifting candy. This time, he came out and was originally arranged to go to Dodo Gold to earn some qualifications, and to see what happened to Haimao. He thought it was an easy trip, but no one could have thought that in the blink of an eye, it turned into a devil's path on the verge of life and death.

At this time, people were busy on the entire merchant ship.

"Young Master, you have a lot of knowledge. I also know that your martial arts cultivation is pretty good. At this time, you can only fight to the death without any other way." Qi Ye said: "On the battlefield, those who are afraid of death always die first. This is what Your Majesty once told us back then. Do you understand what this means?"

The noble young master nodded in a daze. He looked at someone carrying buckets of things on the merchant ship loading not far away and was carrying buckets of things upside down on the boxes of goods, and couldn't help but ask.

"What are they doing?"

"Populate grease and attack with fire later." Qi Ye said.

The noble young master was shocked, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he jumped up suddenly, "The ships were loaded with rust from Jiangnan. Do you know how much it is worth? That ship is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"I only know that if you have no life, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless. Young Master, do you think your life is only worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?" Qi Ye said with a sneer.

The noble man was speechless.

"Brother Qi, I'm afraid!"

He suddenly said.

Qi Ye smiled, "Since you're afraid, stay on my boat, go and change into armor, pick up the sword, and hide inside and cannot come out. If you can't even stop me, then you have to fight to the death."

Qi Ye patted his shoulder. He didn't have any thoughts of contempt and despise him. When he first went to the battlefield, he was so scared that his legs were trembling and trembling. But his boss was not as polite to the noble boy at that time. At that time, he was kicked heavily by his boss on the butt and scolded him for fucking your mother.

If you can't escape, you can only do it. If you die in the sky, you will never die for thousands of years. At this moment, Qi Ye has thrown all other distractions to the sky. Besides fighting to the death, what other way out can you get!

When Yi Shengfa saw the bright light columns on the sea in the distance and the merchant ships moving to arrange the formation, he was a little dazed. In this situation, of course, his subordinates had won the victory. The situation was just the opposite. The forwards he sent out who thought they were sure to be sure were all told there.

"Bastard." He kicked the boat gang angrily. "Sent all ships to prepare for battle."

The Qi army navy immediately began to prepare for the battle. Originally, it thought that a smooth acceptance was taken, but no one expected it to turn into a real battle. The strength of the merchant ship in front of him was obviously beyond their expectations. The destruction of hundreds of naval marines in the army itself shows the strong strength of the other party.

Seeing that the opponent's main warship had arrived, the huge ships of the three third-layer main warships, Qi Ye's muscles twitched a few times, but then calmed down and began to issue orders loudly.

More than fifty merchant ships began to move, not retreat, but also sailed forward. If they opened the distance, they were just right for the Qi people. They could use the powerful long-range power of the three-layer main warship to give devastating blows to the merchant ship. The long-range weapons on the main warship were not comparable to those of the merchant ship. Their volley was enough to sink a merchant ship.

For Qi Ye, relying on helping to fight and rob the enemy's ships was their only chance to win. There were more than ten merchant ships on both wings moving towards the left and right wings, as if they wanted to surround these Qi ships.

The Qi navy sailed through the wind and waves, and the auxiliary warships rushed to the front. At the rear, the three main warships were in the shape of a font, and did not control the merchant ships on the left and right wings at all. Instead, they stared at the merchant ship in the middle and ran towards them.

Yi Shengfa was very annoyed. Even if he sunk all these merchant ships this time, the hundreds of navy and marines who lost could not be saved. Compared to the harvest, the losses seemed to be greater.

He launched a charge angrily, noticing that on the sea, several merchant ships seemed to have lost their momentum and landed on the sea alone.

It was not that Yi Shengfa did not discover it, but that he did not care. During the naval battle, there were many such situations. All the people on the ship died and these ships were uncontrollable, so they could only wander with the water.

When the three main warships began to fire, Qi Ye also ordered all the thunderbolt fires on the merchant ships to start fighting back. However, he focused on attacking the various auxiliary warships in front of the three main warships. The speed of those ships was too fast. Once they were allowed to contact the merchant ship and snatch them onto the ship, the merchant ship would be difficult to deal with.

Countless stone bombs were flying in the air, and streams of water rose into the sky. Three merchant ships were hit with the rumbling thunderbolts falling. A raging fire broke on the ship, and one of them was even broken with a broken keel bone.

The Qi Navy was not much better. Thirty of the fifty merchant ships were armed merchant ships, half of which were equipped with thunderbolt fires. Their volley also overturned several Qi army's auxiliary ships.

As soon as the two sides confronted each other, Yi Shengfa frowned and was greatly surprised. He never expected that these merchant ships had such powerful firepower and were equipped with long-range weapons such as Thunder Fire.

"Tell the ships to pay attention, the enemy has thunder fire." He said loudly.

Although they were a little surprised, Yi Shengfa still didn't care much until now. Because of the tonnage, each of these merchant ships could only be equipped with one Thunderbolt Fire. Judging from their volley, there were only more than ten. The fires on the three main warships were only stronger and stronger than them. What's more, their warships also had a natural advantage in tonnage. On the sea, big ships eat small boats, which is always an irrefutable truth.

The armed merchant ship opposite suddenly turned into three different groups, heading towards three different directions. Seeing this scene, Yi Sheng snorted. The merchant ship commander on the opposite side also seemed to be a veteran at sea and was very familiar with naval warfare. This is to disperse one's own strength, but what's the matter? Even if they are dispersed, how can they be their opponents?

He stared at the armed merchant ships opposite him, noticing at all, but the unmanned merchant ships floating on the sea like some ghosts had already started moving and were quickly approaching them.

A merchant ship hit one of the main warships from the side and back heavily. The hiding felt cloth was lifted up from the merchant ship, which seemed to be unmanned. He held a hammer in one hand and an anchor in the other hand, waved the iron pounding, and tinkled a few times. The anchor claw was firmly nailed to the two ships, firmly connecting the two ships together.

Almost as these people were nailing the boat, another man took a fire note and threw it on the boat. With a rumbling sound, the fire started to burn.

When the ship was hit, the people on Qi had already discovered the abnormality, but it was too late. As the flames were burning, the dozen or so men jumped from the ship into the sea. As for whether they were dead or alive, it could only depend on the will of heaven.
