Great Song Pirate

Chapter 359

After Kong Qingxi brought the fleet to the waters off the Pearl River Estuary in Guangzhou, he occupied Wailingding Island, gathered all the pirates with a hundred and ten people who had been entrenched here before, and began to lay down a foundation in the waters off the Pearl River Estuary.

After Kong Qingxi arrived here, he found that the sea here was extremely chaotic. Almost all the inhabited islands in the outer sea were occupied by various pirates. There were dozens of large and small forces. There are thousands of Zheng Guang's and Gao Deng's ones, small forces have hundreds of people, hundreds of people, dozens of people, there are simply too many to count, and dozens of boats. There are one or two less, all staring at the merchant ships coming and going here, plucking wild goose, wanting to make a fortune.

As a newly arrived force, Kong Qingxi immediately attracted the attention of many nearby pirates. Since he occupied Wailingding Island, he has never lived in peace. Every day, there are various ships wandering around his island, seeing the strength of his fleet. It's not small, so he didn't provoke them. Kong Qingxi didn't want to deal with these colleagues in the vicinity so soon. He wanted to stand firm first, and then consider this matter after making some money here.

But after he made a few votes, he had to face the squeeze of many colleagues, especially Zheng Guang and his group. After hearing about them, these outsiders in the north, they came to write a letter and asked them to leave here immediately. Who is Kong Qingxi!After following the Fubo Army for so long, they have always been the ones who bullied others, how could they be allowed to be bullied by others?So he immediately rejected that Zheng Guang, and decided to ignore him for now.

But after this Zheng Guang heard that Kong Qingxi refused to leave here, he deliberately stared at them at sea to make it difficult for them to act. After two troubles, Kong Qingxi clashed with them. Their ships were not easy to capture, but after Zheng Guang lost several ships and hundreds of people, he found that this group of new colleagues was difficult to deal with, so he got entangled with several nearby pirate forces and formed a small alliance. Kong Qingxi issued a letter of challenge and invited him to a decisive battle outside Xiaowanshan Island. The loser would withdraw from Lingdingyang and find another way out!
After hearing this, Kong Qingxi knew that this matter could not be resolved, so he agreed to them, and led his fleet to Xiaowanshan Island as agreed. When they arrived, they found that there were more than 20 ships of various colors here. Waiting for them, the two sides did not agree with each other, so they started to fight. The smallest fleet in Kong Qingxi's fleet was also the Qianshi Clipper, and the largest was the [-]-stone Sea Hull under his seat. The quality is far from what the opponent can resist. As soon as the two sides came into contact, Kong Qingxi immediately commanded his fleet, suppressing these mobs and beating them violently. , to save trouble in the future, so he led the fleet to chase these escaped ships, trying to catch them all.

But when they chased all the way between the two islands of Wanshan Island, dozens of boats of all sizes swarmed out from several bays, rushing towards them like stabbing a hornet's nest. Guang was fooled, the small boats they sent out now were just bait, they originally gathered so many local forces, and wanted to wipe out these outsiders in one fell swoop, but at this time they were surrounded.

The strength of the two sides is very different. Zheng Guang's group has dozens of large and small ships and has gathered nearly 2000 people from various nearby forces, while Kong Qingxi has only seven boats and about 600 people. Moreover, it is located between the two islands, so there is very little room for display. Once surrounded, they immediately fell into a bitter battle.

After Kong Qingxi saw this situation, he also knew that if Zheng Guang and his gang could not be completely dealt with today, he might be driven back to Liuqiu Island this time, so he became cruel and ordered his followers to fight each other to the death After one stop, the two sides fought together on the narrow sea.

Since Zheng Guang had too many ships, and they took the initiative from the beginning, Kong Qingxi's fleet did not have much advantage. Their greatest advantage was the ballistas on board. The ships brought by Kong Qingxi this time were loaded with There are five ballistas, three of which are on the Clippers, and all they carry are stone bombs and kerosene bombs, without any thunderbolts and thunder, and when the two sides are strangled together, the advantage of this long-range firepower will not be great. It is so obvious that the opponent's densely packed ships made it impossible for them to get rid of them immediately, and concentrated their firepower to attack some of them. Although the gunners desperately wound up, loaded, aimed, and fired, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't hold back the opponent's swarming. After two rounds of strikes, some of the opponent's ships had indeed caught fire, and many bandits from Zheng Guang's side were killed or injured, but the rest of the ships rushed towards them.

At this time, it will be difficult to attack them with ballistas. The two sides have entered the distance of bows and arrows. Zheng Guang is brave and cunning. This time he spent a lot of money and got quite a lot of bows. Within a short period, the people on these ships frantically fired at the Fubo Army ships flying the skull flag, and the Fubo Army brothers on Kong Qingxi's side did not show any weakness, and immediately returned their colors. The two sides began to engage in close combat. Archery battle at distance.

On one of the outer squares, a big man with his chest exposed jumped up and cursed: "What! Kill his grandma's brothers! Kill them all and go back and I will buy you a drink!" The reason why he was so furious was because Because he didn't know whether it was bad luck or luck, a kerosene bomb landed on his boat just now, and the splashed kerosene almost burned his hair and beard. With traces of smoke, it was difficult to extinguish the fire on the ship.

This person is the bandit leader Zheng Guang. He has been entrenched in the sea outside Guangzhou for many years with more than a thousand brothers. In addition to doing some robbery business, they also do some private salt and fishing business, because he is very powerful. Usually, he has the final say in this area, but a group of fleets with strange black skull flags came and inserted into the sea outside Guangzhou, in his territory. After receiving his warning, they not only refused to retreat, On the contrary, he hurt many of his brothers, so after Zheng Guang figured out the opponent's strength, he got entangled with many nearby forces and made up his mind to completely solve this external trouble. Today is exactly the idea he came up with, using the opponent's I am not familiar with the various situations in this area, so I led the opponent to this narrow sea, and wanted to take advantage of their numbers to capture the opponent, but I didn't expect that he was almost thrown by the opponent's fire pot just after the battle How can it not be a big fire when it is roasted into a roast pig?So he yelled like crazy, ordering all the boats to rush forward and smash their opponents into pieces. He really has never suffered such a loss. The last time the Guangzhou Navy came out to find him bad luck, and suffered from him , I didn't expect these foreigners to make him so embarrassed, Zheng Guang was really mad.

Kong Qingxi was also very nervous about this matter. The opponent's ships surrounded them like a nest of flies, making it difficult for them to use them. The arrows in the sky were like rain, and the archers on both sides shot arrows at each other like crazy. From time to time, someone screamed and fell on the deck of the ship. For him, such a passive situation was only comparable to the time when he went to the Dulong Island fleet when he was still following Zhao Tieshan. If Kong Qingxi said he was not nervous, then he Unless it's a fairy.

Although he was nervous, Kong Qingxi didn't feel any fear. Ever since he joined Dulong Island and served under Xu Yi, he felt more and more courageous. , although the opponent is fierce, he is still not out of the scope of the bandits. How could they be the opponents of their well-drilled Fubo army? Most of the bows and arrows are fired aimlessly. When shooting arrows, they rely on luck. If they hit them, they will hit them. However, these archers in the Fubo Army fleet will be dragged to practice archery if they have nothing to do. Their archery skills are much better than those of their opponents. There were more than three to five times as many opponents, and most of the screams from the ship were from the crew of the other ship, but not many of the brothers brought by Kong Qingxi were shot and fell to the ground.

After seeing this situation, Kong Qingxi felt confident again. Fighting at sea is not about fighting over a large number of people. The two sides are fighting for morale and ship strength.

"Order all the ships to look for the smaller boats and attack them! Raise the sails and charge at full speed to overturn them! Don't scatter the ballistas. Each boat concentrates its firepower on the other big boat and uses kerosene bombs!" Kong Qingxi immediately ordered to the flag bearer.

So the sailors of the other six ships of the Fubo Army who received the order immediately set up their sails, adjusted their course, and pressed them straight over according to one or a group of small boats selected by their captains.

This trick really worked. As soon as their boats speeded up, the people on the other side's small boats realized that the momentum was wrong, and quickly turned the rudder to try to avoid it. Some small boats were more sensitive, and escaped the collision tactics of the Fubo Army's ships with danger. A few small boats were still unlucky. Although they worked hard in the end, they were still hit by the boats of the Fubo Army. They were immediately overturned on the spot and held in the water. Two other boats were hit and fell apart on the spot. Then fell into the water.

The guys gathered by Zheng Guang yelled while fleeing in panic, but even though they were lucky enough to escape the first round of collision, they were immediately hit by a round of arrows from the opponent, and many of them immediately fell into the ground with howls. In the water, or fell on the board of the ship, there was a wailing sound like a pig being slaughtered.

"I fuck your old lady! Brothers, don't be afraid of them, hurry up and rush up, lean on and kill them! Don't let them rush out of here, kill them, their boat is ours! Come on, brothers!" Zheng Guang looked at his opponent This round of collision tactics made him so angry that he jumped up and cursed.

The battle has reached such a point, I'm afraid it won't work, not to mention that they still have enough advantages, so Zheng Guang's men swarmed up again, and rushed towards the ships of the Fubo Army.

Moreover, these guys started to prepare rockets. Their rockets were not the rockets that Xu Yi made. Instead, they wrapped the arrows with oilcloth and fired them with bows and crossbows. These crude rockets drew black smoke. , Trying to fight back, let the Fubo army's ships also taste the feeling of being burned.

Kong Qingxi immediately issued an order: "All ships pay attention to putting out the fire. Their small rockets can't do anything to us. Continue to ram them and disrupt them. All ships jump to help prepare and hook guns. Don't let them approach our ships!"

The speed of the Fubo army fleet did not slow down, and they formed a formation of wild geese, covering each other and continuing to rush forward. As a result, several small boats that were trying to intercept them became white-bellied fish, buckled in the water, and a group fell into the water The guy jumped up and down on the water.

At this time, the fleet entered a narrower waterway, and the formation of geese had to be transformed into a vertical formation. A sea swan boat was used to clear the way in front, and smaller fast boats were in the middle. It's not that they wanted to rush into the waterway, because they had no choice. When they were ambushed by the opponent, it was too late to turn around. They could only continue to charge forward. After rushing between the two islands, they reached the wide water surface Only then can they give full play to their combat power.

As the waterway narrowed, it also gave Zheng Guang and his small boats a chance. These small boats took the opportunity to get close to the ships of the Fubo Army, trying to throw ropes to forcibly climb onto the ships of the Fubo Army, and some larger boats also started Leaning over, trying to squeeze the formation of the Fubo army, cut them off from the middle, and then break them separately.

Zheng Guangneng has been here for so long, and he has a lot of experience in water warfare. In this case, the tactics he adopted should be the most effective way to deal with the ships of the wave army, and he has already controlled them. Now that the situation is over, all that remains is to see if his brothers can seize this opportunity and board the opponent's ship. As long as his men board the opponent's ship in large numbers, then he will surely win the battle.

Kong Qingxi was also aware of this threat, and sent another order: "Stop firing the catapults, jump helpers to light the kerosene bombs and smash them at me! Those bastards who smashed them dare not come up! Archers don't stop, shoot me! Don't let They easily affixed to our ship!"

After entering the narrow waterway, the ballista had basically lost its function. Without Kong Qingxi's order, these gunners had consciously stopped loading and loading, and they all stood on the side of the ship with kerosene bombs. When they saw an enemy After the boat sailed to their side, the gunners and jumping helpers ignited the kerosene bombs in their hands one after another, and smashed them down heavily.

At such a short distance, even if it was thrown by hand, the kerosene bombs did not lose their aim, and each of them fell on the small boat trying to come up, and then immediately burst into a big fire, burning the opponents who were about to throw the hook rope. Father shouted mother, screaming.

For a while, their offensive was stopped by the Fubo army again, and Zheng Guang was so angry that he jumped up and scolded again. He didn't expect that the other party was an expert in playing with fire, and there were so many kerosene jars on board. Why didn't you think of using this method to fight against your opponent?I knew that they also got some kerosene jars and threw them on the other side's boat, but now he has no chance to regret it, so he picked up a ghost-headed sword and shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, rush up to block They, as long as we get on board, they're finished! If we can't kill them today, then we men don't want to hang around here any longer! Turn the steering wheel! Get on top of me quickly, I'm going to chop this up myself Help the outlanders!"

Zheng Guang also went crazy. He commanded his ship, tried his best to separate the messy fleet, and approached the opponent's big ship in the rear.

Under his leadership, the gathered people also went crazy. This is a matter of face. They are known as local snakes here. It was really embarrassing to stay here any longer, so after a meal of kerosene bombs, they mustered up their courage again, howling and rushing towards the opponent's ship.

The ambush has finally reached a stalemate, and the ships of both sides are also entangled together, crowding a narrow seaway. There is no justice or evil to speak of here. They are all fighting for this place. It is unreasonable to try to obtain greater benefits in the territory, and some are just red eyes from both sides. The people under Zheng Guang no longer think about life and death issues. If this is the case today, if they are still run away by the other party , then the faces of these people will be completely disgraced in the future. There are many fierce people among them. .

And the people in the Fubo Army also understand that if they don't completely kill each other today, their fate is to die here. There are so many boats crowded together in the narrow waterway, even sailing boats can no longer move an inch. Killing crazy, the naval battle has changed from the initial battle to the tragic boarding battle. At this time, the ships of the Fubo Army have shown their superiority. They have erected walls on both sides of the ship's side, letting them out of thin air. Even if the opponent's ships of the same size as theirs approached, they would never think of jumping directly over the side of the ship, and those smaller ships were even more difficult. Although the number of Fubo troops was not dominant, But their quality is generally higher than that of their opponents. They are already very experienced in this kind of coordination of boarding battles. The melee soldiers on the ship shoot from a long distance and attack from a distance, firmly guarding their own ship, even if the opponent is like an ant. Climbing towards their boat, and then they poured them down like boiling water. Some people screamed and grabbed the cables from other boats to swing to Fubo Army's boat, but they were often caught before they landed on the boat. These spears became sieves.
