Chapter 2283 Fighting

"Sir, they are catching up!"

The deputy general's face was ashen. Lin Zheng insisted on fishing last night and had been holding back Taixi's pursuers.

But after daybreak, Taixi's main force arrived, and the lookout post's reporting voice was trembling.

——They are all boats, so many boats, countless!

Lin Zheng was still standing on the bow of the ship with his sword in his hand. The warship was gradually accelerating, but it was gradually overtaken by the Taixi speedboat.

"Sir, the treasure ship is already the fastest!"

The grain ship can be abandoned, and all personnel can be transferred to the treasure ship.

But the huge treasure ship couldn't outrun the warship, so it couldn't escape.

However, there were quite a few Taixi ships. Forty or fifty ships rushed over like this, and there were countless more behind them.

Lin Zheng's cheeks trembled and he said, "Block it!"

"Sir, stop..."

The deputy general wanted to say he couldn't stop it.

Even if the three warships are equipped with artillery, how can they stop them when facing an opponent that is ten times more numerous?

There was sweat on the lieutenant's face, and he said with difficulty: "Sir, artillery and warships..."

Lin Zheng looked at him coldly and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Liu Pu was watching from the side, watching them make a decision.

A life or death decision!

He had no right to interfere, but he still felt depressed and nervous.

The deputy general said: "There are rules in the court. New warships and artillery are not allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders... I would rather burn them than let outsiders know..."

Lin Zheng said: "According to my understanding of Uncle, the main force will arrive in half a day at most, and they can't take anything with them!"

This is prepared for the worst.

Liu Pu was a little panicked. Fear of death was one thing, but the main reason was the fear of the ocean.

He was willing to die on the grassland, under random arrows, under a long knife, and then trampled to pulp by horses' hooves. But he was unwilling to die at sea. He could not imagine himself floating on the sea and eventually becoming fish food.

"How much longer?"

Lin Zheng raised his head and squinted at the sun.

The deputy general glanced behind him and said, "It won't take more than half an hour."

"enough!"

Lin Zheng turned around and looked at Taixi's pursuers silently.

Time passed and it was lunch time.

No one paid attention to lunch. At this time, even the cook was helping.

When the distance between the two sides entered the artillery range, Lin Zheng said: "Get ready."

Liu Pu could clearly see the face of a Thai man in the telescope.

It was a dirty face with a thick beard.

That face was full of excitement and violence.

He saw Liu Pu.

He raised the hammer in his hand and roared at Liu Pu.

Many people were gathering on the deck, including many archers and sergeants holding various weapons.

Liu Pu was furious. He put down his telescope, pulled out his long knife and pointed it at the opposite side, cursing: "Come on! Let me chop off your head and build it into a temple!"

"The artillery is divided into two batches and fired in sequence!"

Lin Zheng issued the order.

"Closer!"

The deputy general added finally.

There was no distance at this time. Below the deck, the officer shouted at the top of his lungs: "Get closer, hit the sail with chain bullets, aim accurately!"

The gunners were aiming, but this aiming was only an approximation, because the angle at which the artillery fired was determined by the ship.

Even more so with launch time.

Coupled with the turbulence of the sea, if the distance is too far, the hit rate will really bring tears to the eyes.

Shortening the distance can increase the hit rate, but it also brings danger...

"ignition!"

The artillery began to roar, but the sound was not dense enough.

A chain shot whirled through the sail and hit the water ahead of the second ship.

A big hole was made in the sail, and the ship's speed immediately slowed down.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A Thai-Spanish warship was chasing the fastest. The longbowmen on the ship were already drawing their bows and arrows, but they were enveloped by several iron bullets.

The planks on the bow of the ship were punched through, and the deck was swept from top to bottom by iron bullets. The Taixi people who just now were looking forward to being killed by a gang fell to the ground.

But the ants killed the elephant, and more warships swarmed in.

After firing on one side, unless the warship turns, you have to wait to clear the gun barrel, and the firing cannot be frequent...

The enemy ship was approaching, but there was no movement below deck.

Lin Zheng did not order to turn.

Turning at this time will slow down the warship, and then the enemy ships will try their best to flank it from both sides.

"The treasure ship has slowed down!"

At this time, the deputy general looked back and said angrily: "They are crazy! We are desperately trying to hold back the enemy, but they..."

Lin Zheng didn't speak, and Liu Pu didn't speak.

The warships can no longer stop the enemy. If the treasure ship does not slow down, it will soon be swamped by the enemy ships.

After losing the cover of the warship, the treasure ship is like a lonely elephant and will be besieged by ants.

Many sergeants have appeared on the deck of the treasure ship.

The sergeants began to form a formation, with shields standing everywhere.

This is not ready to go!

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

Just when Liu Pu was in a daze, Lin Zheng's call came from behind.

"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"

He turned around and saw an enemy ship approaching.

In an instant, arrows covered the deck.

"Shield!"

Liu Pu only felt someone pulling him. He squatted down and a shield was blocked in front of him.

After two dunks, Lin Zheng suddenly stood up and took a look.

His body trembled, and Liu Pu could clearly see that he was trembling.

Five people fell on the deck at this moment, their bodies covered with arrows, and one of them was the watchman. He fell heavily on the deck, looking like a tattered rag doll...

The enemy ship was approaching rapidly.

Liu Pu pulled out his long sword and walked towards the side. Behind him would be his battlefield.

He walked forward, holding a shield in his left hand, squinting at the distance between the two sides, raising his sword and shouting: "Archer..."

The long archer over there had already bent his bow and arrowed again, but the one over here was faster.

"Fire arrows..."

Liu Pu shouted.

The arrow flew past, and Liu Pu shouted: "Shield..."

The terrifying longbow gave the arrows powerful kinetic energy. Liu Pu turned his back to the enemy ship and watched as the two shields were shot through. The sergeant behind him was caught off guard and fell there.

The distance is already very close.

Lin is looking at this side. He wants to coordinate the overall situation, so the close combat requires Liu Pu, an authentic army general, to lead it.

"Grenade..."

More than ten grenades flew over and exploded loudly.

"They lost half their men!"

Someone was shouting loudly.

Liu Pu sat on the side with his back turned. When the sound of a hook catching the side of the ship was heard from behind, he shouted: "Lance..."

More than twenty spearmen lined up forward, wearing armor, and stopped five steps in front of Liu Pu.

There was a wheezing sound from behind his head, and a foul smell.

"kill!"

Liu Pu stood up suddenly and waved the long knife without looking.

The Taixi man behind him was holding the boat gang with one hand and preparing to swing the hammer with the other.

Liu Pu's sudden outburst left him unprepared at all, until his head flew up and the hot blood from his neck spurted into the face of the Thai man on the side.

The headless Taixi man let go of his hand and slowly fell into the water.

The Thai man beside him didn't hesitate, and didn't even bother to wipe the blood on his face.

Blinking his eyes, Liu Pu's blood-red vision became clearer. The Taixi man shouted loudly, and then threw the broad sword in his hand.

Liu Pu swung his long sword and blocked the broad sword. The Taixi man took the opportunity to climb up, roared, and pounced on Liu Pu.

Liu Pu had a long sword at his side, but he had no time to swing it.

While Lin was observing the situation on the battlefield, he also glanced here from time to time.

Seeing Liu Pu in danger, he clenched the handle of the knife in his hand and strode forward.

I can't save you!

But I will stand where you stand!

…

Don’t panic when encountering an enemy, you can kill the enemy from any part of your body!

Xin Laoqi's teaching back then was particularly clear now.

Liu Pu allowed the Taixi man to grab his shoulders. His eyes were splitting and his head slammed forward.
