Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 441 Shang Hai Is Not Vegetarian
On the big boat with the Chen character flag on the black background, Chen Shanghai's eyes were tearing apart.

He did not expect that the Ming army in front of him was completely reborn compared to a few months ago.Not only is the ship strong and powerful, but it also shows a very high level of tactical literacy—the ten ships advance together and retreat together, forming a whole, like a long snake interspersing back and forth among the pirates who sound like a swarm of bees, but are actually a mess of scattered sand.

While keeping a distance from their big ships, they have sunk more than 20 small ships!

"We can't go on like this, they will eat up our clippers." Chen Shanghai said decisively: "Issue the order to let the clippers withdraw from the battlefield!"

Soon, the sound of the humming conch horn sounded, and the Chen Bu pirates and clippers who heard the order stopped their pursuit and withdrew from the battlefield as if they had been granted an amnesty.

Fang Datong on the other side also understood when he saw this, and ordered his own Clippers to withdraw.

As the large and small clippers withdrew from the battlefield, the originally crowded sea suddenly became clear.Only ten battleships of the Ming army remained, facing off against fourteen pirate ships of [-] materials.

"Come on!" Now there is nothing in the way.Accompanied by Chen Shanghai's order, the horn of attack sounded again, and fourteen pirate ships formed a team, with full sails, and charged towards the Ming army.

"Hahaha, they thought we would only fight while floating? That's a big mistake!" Yu Tongyuan saw through the pirate's mind at a glance, pulled out his sword, pointed at the oncoming pirate and roared: "Face the enemy, catch and fight!"

Previous battles have proved that long-range bombardment is useless against large ships.If you want to destroy them, you have to stick them on your face and output them like you did with the ten big ships before!
The messenger passed on the semaphore to pass on the commander's order from ship to ship, and each ship immediately followed the flagship's turn and adjusted its bow to meet the enemy.

Seeing the posture of the Ming army, it is obvious that they are about to face up.The pirates filled their pupils with blood, and fourteen warships lined up in a crescent formation, with their wings forward and the middle trailing behind, they headed forward without hesitation.

The two fleets rushing in both directions quickly approached, hundreds of feet, fifty feet, twenty feet, ten feet... until the "snake head" of the Ming army slammed into the center of the pirate formation!
When the distance between the flagships of the two sides was only five feet, they still did not dodge or dodge, almost passing by bow to bow.

At this time, the sailors on the two ships could clearly see each other's nose hairs, and the Ming army's cannons finally began to roar!
At such a short distance, whether it is solid bullets or shotgun bullets, the damage caused is multiplied.The large ship with the Chen Zi flag on the black background was instantly riddled with holes and pieces of wood flying across it, and the pirates on the deck were prostrate on the ground, and none of them survived.

Chen Shanghai was also pierced in the left eye by a sharp piece of wood, his face was covered in blood, and he looked hideous.But he didn't care about himself, covered his eyes with one hand, waved his hand violently with the other and roared: "Let go!"

His ship had six return guns, two of which were destroyed by the gunfire, but the other four survived.The gunners were as fearless as their leading brothers, braved the artillery fire of the Ming army, swung their hammers and smashed the trigger with all their strength.

The return cannon, which had been ready to fire for a long time, immediately made a terrifying sound of breaking through the air, and threw the ammunition bag at the end of the lever into the air!

But this time, the ammunition bag of the cannon contained not shells, but large anchor claws connected with ropes!

Four anchor claws whizzed over the roof of the flagship of the Ming army, and two of them accurately landed on the ship, crashing into the relatively weak roof...

~~
In the cabin on the top floor of the flagship, Lao Liu was eating raw fish with Wang Dayuan and Luo Guanzhong, guessing about the battle situation outside.

The sixth child was full of confidence and was bragging to the two old gentlemen about how invincible his new tactics were.

"Let me tell you, this king has redefined naval warfare. From today onwards, no matter how many ships you have, no matter how big the ship is, it's all useless if you don't have enough artillery!" Zhu Zhenbi gesticulated, spitting all over the place and said in vain:
"In future naval battles, it will be about who has more ship guns, and whose guns can hit farther!"

"True or not?" Admiral Luo Guan doubtfully said, "During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao also felt that he had redefined naval warfare."

"He's in the Yangtze River, okay?" Zhu Zhen gave him a look and said, "And what does that Cao thief know about naval warfare? This king is sitting here, and those pirates can't touch me..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang from above his head, a big iron claw smashed through the cabin roof, and pieces of wood fell down on the table.

Behind him, Deng Duo dragged Lao Liu off the table without saying a word, then kicked him to the corner of the wall, then flew up and pressed His Highness under him.The whole set of movements is smooth and flowing, it looks like it has been practiced countless times, and it is finally used now.

Lao Liu ate a full stomach of raw fish and almost vomited.At this time, I don't care about scolding my mother.He pulled Dun Duo's arm away, looked up through the gap, and saw that the big iron hook was stuck on the cabin roof and did not fall.

"Your Highness is dangerous, don't show your head!" Deng Duo pressed his head under his body again.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

~~
Outside the cabin, Yu Tongyuan almost lost control when he saw the big iron anchor falling into the cabin where His Highness was.It wasn't until the people below reported that His Highness was safe and sound, that the urine in his bladder turned into cold sweat and flowed out.

Haikou's move was too unexpected, and he had never seen it before.But this was not invented by Chen Shanghai.

Launching the anchor hook with a return gun, grabbing the opponent's ship, and then pulling it in front of you, jumping on board and looting the ship, is the housekeeping move of Arab pirates.Chen Shanghai lived and learned from time to time, and actually used this trick in this battle.

The unexpected effect was really outstanding, and the enemy ship was caught in one fell swoop.But the problem is that Yu Tongyuan's flagship has four thousand materials, which is a whole circle larger than his flagship.Even if it was a side-to-side battle, it was still his side that suffered.What's more, the pirates on his ship had already suffered heavy losses in the shelling just now.

"Crazy, what a crazy!" Yu Tongyuan quickly understood what Chen Shanghai was thinking.Even if the opponent risked his life, he would still entangle himself.

~~
"As long as this boat is entangled, the Ming army behind will lose their command, and their formation will be broken!" Chen Shanghai suddenly pulled out the splinters stuck in his eyes, and the pain made him almost faint.

The subordinates hurriedly applied a simple bandage to him, but Chen Shanghai insisted on not fainting: "I hope they don't waste our sacrifice!"

The "they" in his mouth refer to the rest of his boats and the seven boats of Fangbu.

On Fangbu's flagship, Fang Datong was also greatly shocked, and said loudly, "Chen Shanghai is such a man! We can't let him look down upon us."

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Hang up the red flag, and let the brothers fight to the end!"

~~
The foremost flagship was entangled with the pirate ship and could not move.The Ming warships behind were faced with two choices, either to make an emergency turn and leave the battlefield, or to stop and maintain formation.

The Ming army was already at a disadvantage, and its speed was very slow, so it was easy to stop.

Of course, it is not difficult to turn, as long as you turn the Chinese-style sails that are exposed to the wind on all sides, you can get more wind and steer with the rudder.

But the nine warships of the Ming army chose in unison, stopped and maintained their formation, waiting for the warships of the pirates to outflank them.

The final battle has come.
