It seems that the self-explosion switch was turned on. After the first ship exploded, the second and third ships also exploded one after another, but one was caused by the deflagration caused by Liu Peng's shell hitting the gunpowder barrel, and the other one was ridiculous .

Because of the bombardment from the opposite side, the psychological pressure was huge. In a hurry, one of the gunners inserted a red-hot iron stick into the spent gunpowder barrel beside him. As a result, the residual medicine dregs in it burst into sparks, which happened to ignite not far away. There was a powder keg open everywhere, so it exploded too.

Originally, Modric wanted them to be the leader and to destroy the opponent's formation, but now it has become a burden. If the follow-up ships want to pass, they have to bypass these three smoking gunboats.

In this way, the formation of their fleet became a double column. If the opponent attacked from the side, they would have no room to turn around.

When the opponent's formation was in disarray, Bo Lun immediately seized the opportunity and ordered everyone to press up, because Liu Peng said that the ammunition of the artillery is limited, and there is no place to replenish it after the fight, so it can only be a lump of iron.

In order to save projectiles and give full play to their melee advantages, the two sides began to approach as a whole, but halfway through, the ten central warships fired while slowing down, and Modric was anxiously commanding the warships to regroup. When it was formed, more than a dozen small boats appeared on the opposite side.

"Captain, they seem to have sent a fireboat!" Modric's first mate reminded him anxiously.

Fire boats are not scary, and there are many ways to resist them. For example, it is no problem to push the fire boat away with a super long wooden pole, even if it is close to it. Just push the fire boat away before the palm oil evaporates completely.

"Send someone to raise the pole!" Modric ordered quickly, and the sailors on the ship did not adjust their direction in a hurry. Compared with the chaos of the formation, if the ship was set on fire, the big guys would not have to fight hard, and they would find a way to put out the fire or escape. Bar.

A dozen small boats with small sails rushed towards the One-Eyed Butcher's fleet along with the strong wind.

The speed is getting faster and faster. Modric has already pushed the long pole out, but judging from this posture, whether he can stop it is another matter. This is the disadvantage of being in the downwind. They rushed over too fast. It's hard to stop.

Just when they were concentrating on it, there was a roar of artillery fire on the opposite side, and ten shells hit them in front of them, causing many waves. At this time, they remembered that they could not stop, and the opposite side had the advantage of long-range attack!
However, the sailors holding long poles were harassed by such a burst of shooting, and when approaching tens of meters, the sailors on the fire boat touched the fuse on the boat and all jumped into the water to escape.

With gunpowder smoke, more than a dozen small boats arrived at the warship of the one-eyed butcher who was closest to the front. Only two were blocked by the pole, and the others either broke the pole or passed through it, and were inserted into their fleet up.

"What is this?" Modric's boat didn't touch those smoking fire boats, but the boat next to him was next to one, and it hit the side of that boat, and it was in danger of capsizing at any time.

Some of the pirates on that ship ran directly to that side, trying to push it away with a long pole, but the inertia was too great, and the pole was bent and could not be pushed away.

Bo Lun was commanding the fleet to fight, and he kept looking at the center from the corner of his eye. He was happy with the fire ships rushing in, but the ships were smoking and didn't burn, which made him anxious: "Why aren't they burning, are they? Is there not enough gunpowder?"

"It seems that the fuse is too long?" Bolun's team leader asked back.

"Who..." Just as Bolun opened his mouth, a wave of heat rushed towards his face from a long distance away. The violent explosion instantly covered his figure, and the flame even made him feel that his surroundings were dimmed.

Mistry showed everyone present the art of his own explosion.

The booming sound startled Fiego who was far away. He saw a fire ship violently exploded in front of a pirate ship with such force that it almost lifted the opposite ship's bow out of the sea.

"He calls this art?" murmured Fiego's helmsman.

Fiego spat out the wooden stick in his mouth and shook his head: "This is also a beautiful picture, isn't it?"

On the front, Liu Peng looked at the flames rising into the sky, and he could feel the shock wave and heat wave hundreds of meters away. This is probably the greatest power that black powder can exert!
Brand lay on the railing, his eyes full of intoxication: "Back then, when the cavalry from Beiman invaded south and gathered in a depression to drink water, if you said that I would just bury a few gunpowder ships of this equivalent there, they wouldn't take off yet! "

"I guess the meat is cooked for you." Liu Peng smiled, "This is really exciting, but it costs money. I don't have a penny in stock."

"Don't be afraid, after this battle, we will have the final say on both the South China Sea and the West China Sea. The chances of making money will be great!" Brand said.

The successive violent explosions on the sea also stunned Lazia who was watching the battle on the tower. He was worried that his own people's morale would be demoralized after the attack failed. Now it seems that he should regret that he was stuck in the port and could not participate in the battle.

The sky was full of flying ship fragments and human body parts. Modric was dazed, his ears were completely deaf, and his mind was shaking like he was being beaten desperately with a gong against his head.

When he touched his ears, his fingers were sticky. It turned out to be bleeding, but he didn't feel any pain. After he finally got up, half of the warship that was tightly attached to the fire ship was left, and the remaining half also blew up. If it catches fire, the people on board may be in danger.

"Column, single column, defense, defense!" Modric yelled loudly, but was horrified to find that no matter how loud he yelled, he couldn't hear him at all.

Many people on board were also stunned, as if they hadn't recovered from the explosion just now.

The warships that were not involved in the rear had reacted, and they worked hard to find Modric's flagship, trying to bring him back when the opponent rushed.

But Liu Peng didn't intend to give them time to prepare, approached them, and then all the ships turned sideways collectively, and all the cannons on the sides stretched out.

Especially on the "Truth" and "Justice", more than a dozen cannons stretched out, which was a round of fierce bombardment.

Dozens of shells beat them until they howled like ghosts and wolves. The unlucky ones were hit, half of their bodies disappeared, and their flesh and blood exploded into a cloud of mist.

Without Modric's command, some ships were still rushing forward against the artillery, while others slowed down hoping to avoid the direct fire of the artillery, so the pirates in the middle became a mess.

Although the pirates on the butcher's side on the left and right saw that they were beaten into pieces in the middle, they had no chance to retreat and could only fight Boren and the others in an unknown situation.

As the two wing fleets began to fight, the salvage battle of Sara Island officially started.
