Chapter 2286 Whose Counterattack

"Uncle, the enemy is counterattacking!"

"They're lighting a fire! There's a fire ship!"

More than a dozen fireships with sharp spears on their fronts were set alight, and then the wind assisted the fire, and the fire assisted the wind, and they rushed first.

Once the spear is pierced into the hull of the ship, it is a tarsal maggot and will not stop until it is burned clean.

"There's no one on board!"

Fu Xian's words made people feel funny.

Where did the people on the fire ship come from? Roast a living person?

"Treasure ship forward!"

This is Fu Xian's original intention.

An unmanned fire ship cannot turn, and a treasure ship with a steel bow is not afraid of spears and flames.

So more than a dozen treasure ships rushed to the front, and their huge bodies were a natural line of defense.

"pretty!"

When he saw the treasure ship easily crushing the fire ship into the sea, Fang Xing couldn't help but hit the palm of his left hand with his right fist.

All the fire ships were as helpless as children in front of the treasure ship, being knocked away one by one and then crushed down.

"Their boat is too small."

Hong Bao had a deep affection for the treasure ship. Even though the main force of the battle now became warships, he still couldn't bear the treasure ship to withdraw from the front line.

"Failed Smith! Failed!"

General Frank was shouting hysterically. Smith looked at him coldly and said, "That's just a little trouble for them!"

"So what can we do?"

"Win with passion!"

"Attack! Let's attack!"

The warriors on the warship are gathering, and the longbowmen are gathering. They will give Akito a baptism of arrows.

The two sides were approaching rapidly, but the treasure ship began to slow down.

No, Smith murmured: "They didn't slow down, but the warship was faster!"

More than a dozen warships of the Ming army were like hunting dogs, emerging from the gaps between the treasure ships and rushing over menacingly.

"They're bigger!"

The Lisbon general at the front suddenly took a few steps back on the ship, then turned around and shouted: "Back off! Let's step back!"

No one objected, and the warship began to slow down.

"Damn it! That's a bigger warship. Akito has been waiting for us. That idiot Smith, this is a trap."

General Lisbon's face was red, as if he had just had sex with his lover.

"Their big ships don't need to attack. They can turn most of our ships into rubbish by simply crushing them. And their warships... terrible warships..."

"They turned!"

Countless warships gathered together, as if this would dissipate fear.

When a scream came, everyone saw the turn.

The dozen warships of the Ming army drew a beautiful arc and were preparing to aim at them with their broadsides.

Behind, Lin Zheng's fleet, which was being fought, had already begun to evacuate.

"We should flank them!"

Liu Pu's body was covered with blood and minced meat, and his eyes were red like a beast that had just eaten a piece of human flesh and didn't feel full yet.

Lin Zheng was not much better, he still had a few scars on his body.

The lieutenant commanded the fleet to assemble under the harassment, and Lin Zheng was able to take a breather.

"The overall situation has been decided, there is no need for us to attack from a flank, they will lose!"

"Then why don't we attack from a flank!"

Lin Zheng looked at the furious Liu Pu and said: "This is neither land nor grassland. Our troops have suffered heavy losses. If we attack from a flank, it is likely to cause the enemy to flee. That is the sinner."

He felt that Liu Pu could only be regarded as a fierce general, but lacked strategy.

"Uncle wanted to give the Taixi people a heavy blow, so he didn't let us attack from a flank. He just wanted to kill more Taixi ships so that they wouldn't dare to peek eastward after this battle. This is my uncle's purpose. !”

After mentioning Fang Xing, Liu Pu obviously calmed down, and then led people to collect the corpses.

There were piles of corpses on the deck, and arrows were stuck in the corpses and the deck. It looked like a banker.

The sea breeze blew through this 'crop', gradually bringing whimpering.

Lin Zheng saw several sergeants choking and digging through the pile of corpses.

Shouting, he took a deep breath and asked, "Are the artillery ready?"

The deputy general's leg was injured. He held a long gun and went over to ask. He came back and said: "The artillery team suffered a lot of losses, but it will be able to fire again soon."

Three scarred warships were covering the treasure ship and other ships as they evacuated the battlefield, while more than a dozen European and Western warships were pestering and harassing them like fleas.

Below the deck, the corpses of his comrades were piled in the corner.

The injured gunner was bandaged but refused to rest.

A gunner with a wounded left hand took aim and moved against the sandbag with his right hand and knees.

A sergeant with an injured shoulder also came over. The two struggled to adjust the angle of the artillery, and then waited for the order.

The entangled Thai and Spanish warships were gradually approaching - this was the courage given to them by the long pause of the artillery.

"ignition!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

More than ten warships fired a wave of iron bullets together. The iron bullets formed a barrage and rushed into the middle of the densely packed enemy ships.

The sound of iron bullets penetrating the planks came one after another, blood and limbs were flying on the deck, and chain bullets whizzed through the middle of the sail...

"Kill the enemy!"

The enemy troops on the left and right wings were approaching. The treasure ship Fang Xing was on was on the front line behind the warships, and he could see the faces of those Taixi people.

Countless longbowmen were preparing their bows and arrows. This was their response to the Ming Dynasty's firearms.

The frontal battlefield was in a mess at the moment. More than ten Thai-Spanish warships were badly hit by artillery. When the Thai-Spanish people thought that Akito was going to turn to fire from the other side, the artillery fire started again.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The half-fire strategy allows one broadside to perform two strike missions.

Those Thai and Western warships that rushed up happily were unlucky, and the second strike directly sank five warships.

"It's difficult to hit. You have to aim near the waterline. "

Fu Xian was observing the battle situation, while Fang Xing was looking at the flank.

Enemies are swarming on the flanks, while treasure ships and old warships are protecting the flanks.

This was the opportunity Smith identified.

"They don't have many warships with firearms, and they can't cover the entire fleet. We only need to break through from the flanks and sweep over. That will be a big victory, a big victory that is crucial to us!"

He saw the Lisbon general who had fled back in embarrassment, but he just smiled coldly.

"After the great victory, we can take advantage of the opportunity to directly attack the Ming people's homeland, destroy their shipyards, and plunder their craftsmen for our use. It only takes five years!"

Smith said firmly: "As long as five years, we can compete with the recovered Akito, understand? What we want is the time to learn their skills!"

"what is that?"

At this time, someone asked from the front.

Smith walked over and took a look, but after just one glance, his expression became serious.

"Steady! Steady the treasure ship!"

"In formation! The musketeers in formation!"

A series of orders were issued, and the treasure ship was stabilized.

Suddenly there were more than ten "hills" on the flanks, and those Thai and Western warships ran into them.

The artillery on the treasure ship began to fire, and then there was no need to aim, just shoot towards the densely populated area of ​​the ships.

But this was just a drop in the bucket. Seeing that the treasure ship had only these attack methods, the Taixi people were overjoyed and hurriedly came closer.

"Shield..."

The spearmen and sword and shield soldiers raised their shields, while the musketeers only lowered their heads slightly.

The arrow arrived as expected, like a dark cloud.

Ding ding ding!

Because the enemy ship is too small, the longbow can only be fired upwards, and its penetration is insufficient.

The arrows missed in vain on the plate armor, and the grappling hooks were already hung on the sides, but no one was there to cut them off.
