Chapter 9 Interception ([-])

Five serial ships sailed out from the Zheng Zhilong fleet on the opposite side and charged aggressively towards Cao Xiong's troops.

Receiving the command flag, two Cangshan ships from Cao Xiong's department greeted him.When they were about fifty steps away, the spray canister on the Cangshan boat was the first to fire, and the small fireball headed towards the front of the other party's serial boat.The sea was turbulent, and the distance was slightly farther, and the first round of launches all failed.Then, in the second round, the third round..., fireballs hit the target one after another, igniting the felt cloth above the cabin.

As the distance approached, the manipulating ships behind the five serial ships of Zheng Zhilong's department resolutely released the iron rings, and then rowed back desperately, letting the fire ships in the front rush towards Cao Xiong's fleet along the inertia.

The Cangshan ship approached the burning ship, and several sailors held up bamboo poles two feet long to the front of the burning ship, trying to make it adjust its direction and avoid their own fleet.

Suddenly, a ship of Zheng Zhilong's Hai Cang rushed over from the slanting thorns. On the deck, a row of hands held a bow and arrow, and shot a dozen feather arrows.A sailor who was holding a bamboo pole screamed, and the arrow fell into the water. The remaining sailors hurriedly shrank their bodies, shortened their bodies, and avoided the opponent's arrows.

Cao Xiong's other Cangshan ship was not to be outdone, with crossbow arrows, bowl-mouth guns, spray canisters... and desperately fired at the opponent.As soon as the two fleets met, the battle immediately heated up.The flying bird boats, Cangshan boats, Hai Cang boats, catching boats, and numerous net shuttle boats from both sides, you come and I go, and you get into a melee in less than a cup of tea.Even some nimble boats quickly assisted in a tragic pick-up battle.

"Boom! Boom!..." With a sound, a large chasing boat was [-] paces away from the bird boat where Cao Xiong was, and several Hongyi cannons bombarded violently.

"what!"

"what!"

There were several screams, and several sailors, clutching their stomachs or arms, fell on the deck, rolling and wailing, and one sailor, with a broken piece of wood stuck in his face, reached out and tried to unplug it. , but couldn't bear the pain, holding his head and screaming in pain.

Qi Tian was lying at the door of the cabin, looking at the tragic and real battle scene near the gang, his face was pale, and his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.He closed his eyes, shrank his body, and got back into the cabin again, gasping for breath.The dog squatting on the other side of the window held a fire gun tightly in his arms, and his mouth was also open, whether it was fear or excitement.Three sailors who were injured a few days ago lay side by side on the bed, humming from time to time, and the rest of the time, they just stared at the bulkhead.Everyone seems to be so small in this urgent encounter, unable to control their own destiny, as if they are all waiting for the judgment of time.

"Lean in! Lean in!" Cao Xiong, who was standing at the bow, pointed to a large chasing boat ahead and shouted loudly, "Come in and fight them!"

Cao Xiong's team, although the firearms on board were obviously much better than Zheng Zhilong's intercepting fleet, but they had no choice but to have fewer ships and fewer people.The only way now, I am afraid I can only rely on helping the boat to fight, fortunately, most of Cao Xiong's troops are from the former Dengzhou, Yantai military family. They dare to fight and fight bravely.

After firing several rounds of artillery at each other and suffering more than a dozen sailors dead and wounded, the Asuka slowly approached the powerful chasing boat.When the two ships approached, the other party fired another salvo, but the killing effect was not very good if the distance was too close, and only two Cao Xiong men were knocked down.Seeing that more than [-] people from Cao Xiong's group were armed with knives and guns, they gathered at the ship's gang, waiting to fight on the boat.Not to be outdone, the sailors of Zheng Zhilong's crew took up their swords and guns, shouted, and gathered on the deck where the two ships were about to come together.

"Kill!" Qi Dajiang waved a goose-wing knife, and before the two boats met, he jumped over from the side of the boat, and slashed down fiercely by jumping from a high place.In an instant, the blade slid across the necks and lower abdomen of the two sailors respectively. At the same time, it kicked sailor No. 3, and then rolled sideways to avoid the stabbing attack from behind.

Seeing that Qi Dajiang was so powerful, Cao Xiong's other subordinates shouted, and when the two ships approached, they jumped over from the side of the ship to help them, and fought together at the knot.

Some sailors on Zheng Zhilong's ship saw Qi Dajiang rolling down the deck, thinking that there was an opportunity, jumped out of the two, and cut them with a knife.

At this time, Qi Dajiang had no time to stand up and rolled towards the stern of the boat.The two sailors slashed the air with one knife, and they followed closely and chased after them.

Qi Dajiang rolled over to the side of the boat and stopped. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the figure chasing after him. His legs were slightly bent. When the two caught up to two or three steps to his side, he kicked his legs and jumped straight from the deck. Going out, the goose-winged knife in his hand was swung towards the legs of the chasing two people.

The two who were chasing were terrified and wanted to retreat.But in a hurry, one of the sailors slipped and fell to the ground. The other didn't care to pull him, and staggered back a few steps.

Qi Dajiang slashed at the waist of the sailor who fell on the ground, blood sprayed on his face, then put his left hand on the ground, jumped up, and took a few steps to lift the knife in his hand from bottom to top, leaving it on the other sailor. A bloody mouth fell from the lower abdomen to the neck, the body swayed, and he fell on the deck on his back.

Qi Dajiang jumped from between the sides of the ship to the landing, and in just a split second, he chopped four people, making all the sailors on Zheng Zhilong's boat go to hell.The brothers who jumped over were in high spirits and shouted, each with long and short weapons, and sailor Zheng Zhilong forced back a few steps.

In terms of sailing skills at sea, Cao Xiong's team may not be as good as the sailors under Zheng Zhilong, but in terms of catching and fighting or fighting against the enemy, they are not as good as Cao Xiong's group of fighting men from military households.

Cao Xiong's sailors often formed a small circle of two or three, relying on skillful cooperation, constantly strangling sailor Zheng Zhilong, and soon chopped more than ten sailors gathered near the boat to the ground, and then went to the middle of the boat to kill.

"Bang bang..." A burst of gunpowder smoke rose near the midship console, and several fire guns were shooting towards this side with their fire guns raised.

"what!"

"what!"

After a few screams, the two sailors below Cao Xiong fell to the ground and rolled on the deck, shouting non-stop.

Qi Dajiang saw two sailors on the opposite side raise fire guns and aimed at him, and his heart froze. Then, he gritted his teeth and threw the goose-wing knife in his hand, lowered his body, and rushed forward.

"Touch! Touch!" Two voices, the fire gun fired, and two thick smoke came out of the muzzle.However, one musket shooter was hit on the shoulder by the goose-winged knife, and the muzzle turned upwards, spewing a large amount of seed medicine. On the person who came back.

Qi Dajiang bullied the front of the two fire guns, and threw a punch, hitting the soft abdomen of one of the fire guns.The other party immediately threw away the fire gun and lowered his body in pain.The fire gun, whose shoulder was hit by the wild goose-wing knife, waved the fire gun in his hand and smashed it towards Qi Dajiang in front of him.

Qi Dajiang tilted his body, dodged the incoming fire gun, kicked out his left leg, and was kicking the fire gun's hand at the bottom of the thigh, kicking it on the deck.At the same time, he rushed two steps, lowered his head, and slammed his head into the stomach of the sailor who ran to help.With the right hand, he grabbed the other side's horizontal sword and backhanded it, resulting in this sailor who looked like a Japanese samurai.

Qi Dajiang's madness like a mad tiger greatly shocked the sailors on board.Under his leadership, the companions who rushed over from behind drove the sailors, helmsman and soldiers on the boat backwards like sheep, and they cut them off. Zheng Zhilong's troops jumped into the sea to escape.

"Dajiang is great!" Cao Xiong stood on the bow of the flying bird boat and praised.

"Boss, a thief climbed up on the port side!" Chen Dalang next to him exclaimed.

Cao Xiong turned his head to look.I saw that there were seven or eight grappling hooks on the stern of the flying bird boat. Several boats were leaning on the net shuttle boat next to them. The sailors under Zheng Zhilong were swarming up to climb, but there was no one nearby.

"Darang, take your brothers with you immediately, be sure to drive them all into the sea!" Cao Xiong immediately ordered.

Chen Dalang responded, greeted seven or eight people, and hurried over.
