Talking to this seemingly handsome Mingguo man, Luka didn't mind saying a few words to him, although his handsomeness made him slightly jealous.
"Of course we are the Jin Yiwei. Did you see it? This is called the Flying Fish Suit!" After brushing off the non-existent dust on his clothes, Luka liked this action more and more now. What is it called, magnanimity, yes, Dongfang
The air of a nobleman.
"Of course I am the captain. Have you seen anyone more handsome than me on this ship?"
"My lord, your official words are so good!" Liu Qing praised sincerely: "With the lords of Jin Yiwei protecting us, we are not afraid of the rebels and barbarians on the island! I heard that on the island, our court
There are thousands of troops, isn’t it?”
"Don't pry when you shouldn't pry, just do your job well!" Luka looked at the talkative young man and warned with some displeasure: "It's the same on the ship, just stay there honestly.
On the deck, don’t go where you are not allowed to go, and don’t ask about things you shouldn’t!”
Jessica's shout came from the ship. Not wanting to talk to this person anymore, Luka turned around and walked towards his woman. He was the only one coming to Fuzhou today. Don't meet any pirates at sea. These craftsmen
, they are all Mr. Qian’s treasures, and they were hired with a lot of money. If there are ten or eight casualties, then don’t expect to follow Princess Grisha to the trench mirror to show off.
"What did you find?" Luka hurriedly climbed up the ship and asked Jessica, who was holding a telescope in her hand.
"As soon as we left the port, the ship following us disappeared!" Jessica handed him the telescope in her hand: "I feel like something is wrong!"
"It's a merchant ship, it must have changed its route!" Luca took the telescope with luck and looked at the sea behind. Sure enough, the small sea ship that had been following them was even missing its mast.
Can't see it anymore.
"The general's order is to send these craftsmen safely to Tamsui!" Jessica said with some worry: "Even if they are pirates, we can't fight with them. We are just afraid. They are waiting on the route ahead.
If we really fall into their ambush and cannot escape, we will have to start a war!"
As the saying goes, good does not work but bad works. This is really true. After Jessica said this, before she could even burn a stick of incense, there were faint lights on both sides of the huge reef in front.
Several ships appeared, and what made them feel even worse was that the ship that had been following them and disappearing appeared again without warning, and there was an additional companion beside it!
"Six ships, two in the middle of the route, two on the left wing, and two more blocking our retreat! Except for the pile of reefs on the right, these three sides are full of pirates!" Luca became angry. Could it be that these pirates,
Do you really think that the artillery on your ship is vegetarian? This is simply too bullying. Isn’t this the waters of the Ming Dynasty? Are there such blatant pirates?
"Everyone except the soldiers, please leave the deck and go to the cabin below. No one is allowed to come out without orders!"
The order issued from the ship's building caused a commotion throughout the ship. The craftsmen and their families were evacuated to the cabin amidst the shouts of their children and daughters. On the deck, the huge general
The oilcloth covering the cannon has been lifted, and the gunners began to load the ammunition in an orderly manner.
On both sides of the cabin, pieces of ship planks were also opened, revealing the dark muzzles of the guns. This was the gunner in the bottom cabin. He opened the gun doors on the side of the ship. Like their colleagues on the deck, they were preparing for the gun in the cabin.
Artillery loading.
In addition to the two huge cannons at the bow and stern, this ship was also equipped with eight cannons on both sides of the ship. Luca didn't know how the Ming Dynasty's navy classified these cannons. He classified them according to his own
It is judged that the bow cannon and stern cannon should be six-pounders, while the cannons installed on the sides of the ship should be three-pounders.
Such firepower, in Luka's view, is a bit crazy. Of course, such madness at the moment is the source of his confidence to face the ships intercepting them. He doesn't know if the empire's main navy ships have any
With such firepower, what he knew was that even such ships in Master Qian's fleet were only average. Princess Grisha's ship was the real main ship, and those pirate ships,
Forget it, he remembered the two pitiful three-pound cannons on his Victory!
"Captain, he won't go down with this man. He said he could help!" Someone shouted from below. He put his head over and found that the person he was struggling with seemed to be the handsome and over-the-top Ming Dynasty craftsman.
"Let me go and take a look. You can direct the battle!" Jessica nodded to him understandingly and walked away. At this time, any distractions for Luka should not be done. He should concentrate on it wholeheartedly.
To win this battle.
"Who are you?" Liu Qingqing became a little anxious when she saw a Banren woman asking her: "Take me to see your captain, that's a fire ship, that's a fire ship!"
After coming to Fujian, Liu Qingqing wandered around the streets for a while. He was naturally interested in things about the sea. Among the stories he heard, there was one where the Fujian Navy had no plans to fight against Japanese pirates after encountering them.
They went forward to fight, but instead followed the Japanese pirates' ships. At night, they directly used dozens of small boats filled with saltpeter, thatch, and other fire starters to sail down the wind and burn all the Japanese pirates to death.
The biggest difference between these fire boats and ordinary boats is that in addition to being filled with fire starters, the edges of the boats are also filled with spikes and barbs. Such spikes and barbs
, once it collides with a big ship in the water, it will be firmly entangled with the big ship, until it turns into a ball of torch and ignites the planks of the big ship.
There is no big difference between naval battles and land battles in terms of tactics. They are just encirclement, interception, roundabout raids, etc. When these ships obviously have bad intentions,
As soon as they appeared, Liu Qingqing stood on the bow of the ship. With his many years of military vision, he basically judged that these ships were not going to fight with his own ship, but they were more like... driving them away?
With such a judgment, and looking at the terrain, the ship blocking the front emerged from behind the sea reef. They should have been waiting there for a long time. In other words, this battlefield was chosen by them.
In a land battle, whoever can decide the battlefield will be more inclined to win. This is a generally accepted golden rule. He expected that sea battles would be no exception.
There are enemy ships at the stern, and there are also enemy ships patrolling on the left wing. Only the right wing is left. This is clearly a "surrounding of three buildings." There are pockets arranged for us to drill. Then carefully look at the reef on the right except for the faint black
Shadow, and the looming fire in the dark shadow, the two words "fire ship" appeared in Liu Qingqing's mind almost without any suspense.
"What fire ship!" Jessica didn't understand what she said.
"They want to capture our ship, right!" Liu Qingqing seemed to suddenly understand the reason why the other party was so aggressive but cautious at the same time. The ship under her feet was larger than these pirate ships, and it seemed to have more artillery.
They had taken a fancy to this ship and didn't want to fight with it head-on, so they resorted to such a strategy.
Although she didn't understand what Liu Qingqing meant, Jessica seemed to understand that this person had different views on the situation in front of her. She couldn't judge whether what this person said was accurate, but she didn't dare to
ignore.
A moment later, Liu Qingqing appeared on the ship building. Why did the captain of Jinyiwei, a foreigner, turn a deaf ear to his words? He took out his official seal without hesitation: "I am Liu Qingqing, the inspector of the Penghu Inspection Department. At the moment
The matter is urgent, my lord, you must listen to me carefully, I don’t want to become a prisoner of the pirates!”
Poor Luka, he had only been involved with this Jin Yiwei's little flag for a few days, and Liu Qingqing took out this official seal. To him, it was really an unknown thing, and according to his understanding, at this time, he should not
There will be people who are so bold as to make this joke with themselves.
Therefore, he nodded with a serious look on his face, as if he knew what the official duties of inspection were.
Listening to Liu Qingqing's anxious explanation of his judgment, Luka looked at the dark reef in the distance with a look of fear. If the official from the Ming Dynasty who visited privately in private hadn't reminded him, he would have really prepared to sail the ship just now.
Driving there, in his imagination, by approaching the reef, he could avoid being attacked from both front and back, and relying on the firepower on the ship, he could be in an invincible position and kill those who dared to approach them one by one.
The ship is gone.
"Turn left!" he shouted loudly, first avoiding the wind direction of those fire ships, so that even if they came close, he would have enough time to sink them.
"Don't worry, my lord, these pirates don't dare to come close!" After issuing the order, he comforted the handsome official who looked a little pale, "Let's just drive forward like this.
I don’t believe they dare to stop me!”
Liu Qingqing's expression was really bad. Looking at the cheerful and silly captain, she said with some worry: "I'm not worried about this. It will be dark in more than an hour. If it gets dark,
If these pirates do something wrong again, we may not be able to detect it?"
"That's right!" Luka's face became serious. He looked at the ships in front and behind, and then at the reef: "Since they don't dare to stop us, let's go around and keep those fire ships or them behind.
All the people there have been blown to pieces and occupy this reef. We can hold on until dawn. After dawn, we can set off again. If you have the ability, ask them to stop us and try again?"
Talking to this seemingly handsome Mingguo man, Luka didn't mind saying a few words to him, although his handsomeness made him slightly jealous.
"Of course we are the Jin Yiwei. Did you see it? This is called the Flying Fish Suit!" After brushing off the non-existent dust on his clothes, Luka liked this action more and more now. What is it called, magnanimity, yes, Dongfang
