The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

They are Ming people, and their parents did not live at sea, but under the rule of Mr. Yan Ge, they can set foot in rich seas tens of thousands of miles away, sail in the Caribbean Sea, and contribute to the country and family. Huge financial resources, just relying on this, their ancestors have been honored for generations

The Han nationality, Ming Dynasty, under the rule of Yan Song, can reach the other side of the earth and rule such a large strange and rich sea area. This counts all the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, and they are extremely proud

How dangerous?pirate?

Hehe Daming Jiajing 20 years ago, even the Mongols dared to invade the capital of the Ming Dynasty, burning, killing and looting, isn't it dangerous?

Daming can now reach the other side of the earth, so what danger is there?

This fleet is very slow because it is full of cargo, and the draft is very deep, like a group of clumsy students pulling the cargo, walking all over the mountain on the tenth road

However, Liu Dayong, the commander of the squadron, did not relax his vigilance at all.

He ordered 5 battleships to constantly change their formations and expand the search range in all directions, trying to make 097 find the traces of pirates and launch an attack as soon as possible.

5 battleships, officers and soldiers of the King's Navy, are watching the sea with vigilance

However, the first day passed without a trace of the enemy, not even the smallest pirate ship

The second day, the third day passed, the ship has traveled 400 nautical miles, but there is still no trace of the enemy

Liu Dayong did not relax his vigilance

For an old admiral like him, this kind of small trick is just a trivial matter.He himself is very good at using this kind of slow enemy strategy to make the enemy relax, and then launch a thunderous blow

Therefore, he ordered to take turns to rest, but always keep more than 3 battleships in a state of combat readiness, with artillery in the barrel, ready to go into battle at any time

In the early morning of the third day, something happened at the end

A mournful bell rang through the night sky

A battleship in charge of security, the lookout post found traces of pirate ships on the extremely distant sea, and immediately sounded the alarm.

This fleet, which was already on high alert, immediately became alert and ready to go into battle

Chapter 2729 Cannonballs Like Rain [1]

The sight is good tonight, the sea is full of moonlight, shimmering, it is not a good time to attack the pirates - their prey also has strong firepower and sufficient soldiers, elite training, can completely turn the enemy into the main, Under clear sight, strike back violently against them

But the pirates still come

belly, two

A total of 11 pirate ships appeared on the two sides of the Ming Fleet, like a pack of wolves sneaking up on the water, approaching the Daming Fleet with air cushions, ready to launch an attack at any time

Daming's fleet is also preparing for war at the same time.

The watermen were awakened from their sleep and ran to the prepared battle position in an orderly manner. The gunner stood behind the fort, nervously cleared the gun bore, loaded the shells, and aimed at the enemy while the armed ten soldiers entered the battle position, and Ready after collision after ingenious design Knife and gun unsheathed and bullets loaded

Liu Dayong is even more experienced. He decisively ordered 20 merchant ships to sail at full speed in a column, while the 5 battleships formed a two-row formation to protect both sides of the merchant ships, and they could cross positions at any time. , the 2 cannons in the fleet can all have the widest shooting field of view, and can exert the greatest power to severely damage the incoming pirate fleet

Damn, these pirate ships are just abominable, if only I could have a sailing battleship, 200 cannons, blow them up!Liu Dayong's fighting spirit surged with sharp eyes.

"I heard that our Ming Dynasty has the most powerful ironclad ships, which are even more powerful than sailing battleships. If one comes, won't these pirates be blown back to their mothers' stomachs?

A lieutenant said with enthusiasm

"However," another lieutenant said with fists in his hands: "now that the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, the army has been yelling all day long, and there is no way to make meritorious service without paying for it. But our navy still has pirates to fight. It is said that the court has ordered , Jiangan has been rampant with pirates recently, and there is an additional bonus for military merit rewards that can eliminate pirates. If we can destroy these 11 pirate ships, it is equivalent to destroying 20 enemy ships in a regular naval battle! This credit can be fat enough

Don't just think about meritorious service." Liu Dayong shouted: "Our main task now is to protect these merchant ships. Whoever makes meritorious service and is eager to leave the team will be killed immediately!

Yes!

everyone said in unison

In the face of the Ming Dynasty's escort fleet like an iron barrel array, it is said that the pirate fleet on the opposite side should retreat in spite of difficulties

In fact, the pirates do have mmp in mind

Ma Shou, is this the merchant fleet mentioned in the intelligence? "

A pirate took a mouthful of phlegm: "What the hell is the enemy's main fleet! Look at those battleships!

I bet that even the merchant ships in the team have no less firepower than us!I actually counted from the side of a merchant ship

20 full muzzles for cannons of 40-pound caliber or more

Let me tell you, this worker M is a merchant ship?This is a gunboat, okay? "

Our pirate ship has only 40 cannons in total.They are all small 24-pound guns.These merchant ships look more like pirate ships than we do!

We just rush up and start looting?Why do I feel like killing in vain?

The pirates are not in the same mind, everyone is here to hang out for money, who is here to fight for their lives?

Generally, when they rob, they aim at merchant ships with weak guards, ships full of cargo, deep draft, and slow speed.Now Daming has gathered 20 merchant ships in one go, and also brought 5 real warships with them. This stuff is not something they can eat.

Otherwise, shall we retreat?

Pirates Suggest

The pirate captain snorted coldly, pulled out the knife suddenly, and plunged the knife into his chest before the pirate could react. The pirate looked at the captain in disbelief, his eyes were out of focus and full of puzzlement , but can only turn over and fall into the sea in despair. Whoever dares to say a discouraged word, he is your role model!

snapped the pirate captain

The pirates didn't dare to say more, but they exchanged suspicious eyes with each other

In the past, the captain was most afraid of death. Even a slightly tougher idea was difficult for him, so he voluntarily gave up. Why is it suddenly abnormal now? "Bai has been like this since he went to Blackbeard's ship."
