The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 231
The Huang family's fleet will travel to and from this route in the future, and will not be dispatched in full force every time.

If you are not afraid of being stolen by thieves, you are afraid of being missed by thieves. Pirates full of hatred take actions that harm others and not themselves, and attacking your own merchant ships purely for revenge will be troublesome.

Because they didn't want to seize the merchant ship, but only wanted to destroy the merchant ship, causing casualties to the merchant ship's crew.There are so many ways to fight naval battles. It is impossible to prevent a small boat full of gunpowder, ambush it on the route, and take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to hit it!
Huang Sheng would rather be more patient and eat up the pirates completely, so as not to leave a safety hazard for the armed merchant ships that will travel to Japan in the future.

After a long talk with Mr. Huang, Bian Zhiming and Liu Guozheng learned about the situation of the Huang family, and learned that the military officer of the seventh-rank General Banner was actually similar to his own experience. After listening to Liu Guozheng's introduction of the happy life of Huangjiawan Island In life, Bian Zhiming is smiling every day.

He worked hard with the Huang family's team, found out the craftsmen who built the warships on the island, and personally took them to repair the captured Zhuyin boat and the No. [-] blessing boat.

He longed to return to Daming as soon as possible, longed to see the relatives he was worried about, and even more hoped that Mr. Huang would completely wipe out the Japanese pirates under Ban Dao Jinhuang's command, so as to avenge the more than forty friends and relatives who died in other places.

In the afternoon of the next day, Huang Mingdao sent a straw boat to bring the news that there were only two warships in the home port of the pirate Xiaozhe Island, both of which were Zhuyin ships. From this we can see that there should be one Zhuyin ship and two No. [-] blessing ships. Perform honorable robbery missions outside.

The Huang family's fleet has blocked the port of Xiaoxun Island, which is only half the size of Zuoqian Island, and the pirates are hiding in the port to confront our army.

It is known that there are still three pirate ships generating income on the route. Of course, we have to wait for them to appear. Huang Sheng arranged for all the lookout posts to observe carefully in three shifts, and let the four No. Skimmers cruise around the port in two groups.

On the third day, the 'Liaoyang' discovered the enemy's situation and quickly sent the news through the semaphore. Huang Sheng immediately set off on the 'Guangning', and the two accountants Bian Zhiming and Li Ximing also volunteered to board the warship.

The three pirate ships may have returned with nothing, and the robbery is also a matter of luck. They may not have found the merchant ships of the Shan Gang, and the merchant ships in groups are not easy to mess with, so the trip was in vain.

There is no way to memorize it, bad luck is still waiting for them!The pirates returning to the voyage listlessly did not expect that the old nest had changed. Someone had already occupied the magpie's nest, and set up a siege to hunt them down.

When they approached the port, a No. [-] blessing ship parted ways with them and went west. The pirate on that ship should live in Xiaozhe Island. Huang Sheng learned of this situation and told everyone to leave it alone. Huang Mingdao would not Let it go.

The twelve warships of the Huang family lined up and went directly to meet the two enemy ships. The persuasion to surrender must be carried out only after the enemy is defeated and the pirates lose their attack power.

We can't just send a boat there at this time. If the enemy doesn't see the coffin and doesn't cry after they startle the snake, it will increase the difficulty of the attack.

Now twelve warships press on together, and twelve rifled guns bombard it for three rounds. Besides, the enemy can't escape anyway. The grass boat has half the displacement of No. [-] Fuchuan, and its speed is twice that of it. Chasing it is like a game. like.

The pirates returning home were defenseless, and they panicked when they suddenly found more than a dozen warships in front of them. Their first reaction was to turn the rudder and run away.

Huang Sheng ordered to get closer and fight again, because the range of the nine-pound rifled gun on the grass boat was not as good as the twelve-pound rifled gun on the No. [-] Fuchuan. Everyone entered the range and fired a volley to be more lethal and deterrent.

There was no challenge, and a salvo hit the No. [-] Fuchuan, which paralyzed the pirates. Huang Sheng saw through the binoculars that there were no Japanese pirates who could stand up on the deck of the No. [-] Fuchuan, leaving the "Gaizhou" and "Jin The state' captured the enemy ship, and led other warships to chase the pirate Zhuyin ship non-stop.

The six straw boats entered the range first, and the six nine-pound guns roared. After two rounds, the enemy ship was knocked down and the sails were knocked down. Before the four No. [-] Fuchuan-class warships came up, the battle here was over.

Of course, Huang Mingli lived up to expectations. He found the returning Pirate No. [-] blessing ship from a long distance away, and still snatched their warship at the door of the enemy's house.

Knowing that none of the pirate warships slipped through the net, the Huang family's net collection operation began!

In order to break down the morale of the pirate army, nine pirate captives were rowed into the port of Xiaoyu Island to persuade them to surrender. These nine pirates were just captured yesterday. They didn't know that the artillery of the Huang family could easily destroy their fort.

Huang Sheng is still cautious, and only by surprise can he catch them unawares. If the pirate fort is on guard, and our army fires the cannon without leaving powder kegs and gunners on the fort, our cannons will be shot for nothing. They can also quickly send gunners to take advantage of the gap between our army's loading Fire their loaded cannons.

Although this kind of defense is only lingering, as long as a shell hits our warship, it will at least cause casualties to several people in our army!

The fighters of the Huang family are too expensive, how can they exchange their lives with the pirates?

The pirates were given an hour to take a small boat out of the port and surrender. After the time passed, the artillery attack began.

The warships of the Ming army have blocked the port of Xiaoyu Island for more than four days. The preparations that the pirates should make should have been made long ago, and they don't care about giving them another hour.

Huang Sheng thought that the pirates would not surrender, because through the binoculars he could clearly see that the enemy's artillery was at the fort, the artillery must have been loaded long ago, and several torches had already been lit.

Huang Mingdao was still in charge of directing the shelling. He had been here for four or five days, and he had walked around the island countless times, so he could clearly see the enemy's defenses.

Huang Mingdao thought that Liaodong's [-]-pound cannon could hit any target on the island, and covering the fort was not worth mentioning.

There is no difficulty in attacking and taking down this small island. The problem is the zero casualties required by the adults. It is too simple to destroy the fort and rush into the port. It's just that the two pirate ships of Zhuyin should have been waiting.

Huang Mingdao decided not to replicate the previous attack on the pirate home port of Zuoqian Island, east of Naliu Island. This island is not a long strip, and there are no long and narrow waterways. It is just known that there are dense reefs outside the waterway, and the waterway where ships enter is within the attack range of the fort artillery.

Our army can first cover the enemy's fort with artillery fire, and then the flagship of the "Liaodong" slowly approaches the entrance of the waterway. As long as the speed is slow enough, it will not hit the rocks and cause damage to the flagship. battleship.

The two ships were beaten until they lost their attack power, so our army abandoned the ship and entered the port to attack. This arrangement should be foolproof.
