Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth catching thieves at sea to bully the small

The wind was not strong at sea, and the sun was rising, and all six ships were anchored, but the sails were only half rising, basically stopping in the sea, while the two wide ships rose full of sails and sailed towards Incheon.

"The fastest running on sea now is the wide ship. Pirates cannot catch up with them. If they encounter them, they will lead them to this side."

Tang Shan said, Wang Tong did not know more about the naval battle than Tang Shan, the former pirate leader, and only asked them to explain the action step by step.

"This ship is no longer here, why do you still walk towards the sea!"

"If you want to go back, you should park the boat according to the wind direction first, and wait for the thieves' boat to be drawn over and the sails rise up along the wind direction, which is faster than the thieves!"

Setting up a condom makes people laugh, which is quite exciting afterwards, but it is very boring at the moment. Wang Tong and the others were able to concentrate on the boat at first, but later they became bored.

Because today's battle, Wang Tong was wearing armor and the tide was too heavy on the sea. At noon, the sun was so sticky that it felt very uncomfortable, but it couldn't be relieved.

During lunch, everyone sat on the deck, doughed meat, pickles, and just boiled water for a meal. Sun Xin slept late last night and was in good spirits now. He put down the boat on the big boat. He patrolled several other boats before coming back. He came back to receive lunch and sat beside Wang Tong to eat.

"Sir, the soldiers preparing for war on the ships everywhere are in good spirits. They also ordered to keep an eye on the sailor crew of these people so as not to make any mistakes!"

It is not my race, but it is temporarily requisitioning warships. It is so far away from Tianjin Wei, so you must be careful everywhere and not lose your vigilance just because of the other party's respect.

Wang Tong took a sip of water, handed the skin water bag to Sun Xin, and asked:

"Have you checked all the banners and armors?"

"I read it all over again, nothing wrong!"

Incheon is a port of Goryeo. Goryeo is now a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Goryeo is equivalent to a prince in the Ming Dynasty. This time, some things cannot be done too explicitly.

Therefore, Wang Tong had an order in advance that all the armor and flags that showed the identity of the Ming army could not be used, so as not to cause disputes afterwards and let those in the court catch the handle.

"How many brothers are there in your family? I only know that you have an elder brother who inherits your father's position as a hundred household."

After a change of topic, Wang Tong asked this question. Sun Xin swallowed the food in his mouth and said:

"Ask the words of the elders, there are five brothers in total."

"Now, people are employed everywhere here. If your brother is willing to come, just call him over, which is more difficult than being in the ward room at home..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a man who had been hanging on the mast and looking at him shouting:

"The boat is back, the boat is back!!"

Looking at the man was Wang Tong's subordinate, but some sailors on the deck could understand Chinese, so they translated these words and shouted aside.

Everyone on the deck immediately became busy. Wang Tong lay on the side of the boat and looked over. He could see the Guangbo boat sailing towards this side. He didn't see clearly whether the boat was following him. Instead, he saw the red flag dancing desperately with the bow of the boat. The color was very conspicuous, and the flag words meant that it attracted pirates.

There was a loud command behind him, and the sailors shouted and used wooden winches to raise the sails. This was just in the direction of the wind, and the ships moved forward.

Wang Tong looked back and saw that the sails on the boat were all raised and Zhang Man was able to feel that the ship's degree was slowly accelerating, and the ships behind him were also like this.

If the route of the two broad ships returning to the ships used as bait is treated as straight lines, the ambushing ship will be inserted in an oblique direction.

The two sides got closer and closer, with a wider view on the sea, and the broad ship did not turn but drove forward. The pirate ships chasing behind him saw these Franchise ships.

No one would have thought of the Guangbo ship as bait, the Franc ship ambushed, and the pirates on the pirate ship initially thought it was just a chance encounter. Both sides did not interfere with the river, so they ignored it, but they soon realized that these five Garen ships were rushing to them.

"The pirates are actually Guangbo!"

Wang Tong saw on the side of the ship that the pirates were chasing, and there were three wide ships, but the regulations were smaller than Liang Daocheng and their ships. Tang Shan explained on the side:

"But the Fu Ship transports freighters, but the Guang Ship runs fast. There are many times when pirates need to chase them, and they mainly use this ship."

Wang Tong said with a smile:

"If it were normal, our two ships would have been caught up by them, but they took the dock last night to unload all the supplies. Now the ship is big and sailing, so they will naturally run faster!"

Wang Tong's sailing ships were on the wind, while the pirates' ships were tilted at an oblique angle and could not fully utilize the wind. They naturally couldn't get up in a hurry, so they hurriedly adjusted the sailing direction there.

Hearing a sailor behind him shouted loudly, Tang Shan raised his finger with some saliva, and was blown by the sea breeze, tried the sailing, and said:

"Sir, I'll catch up in half an hour!"

The pursuit at sea naturally cannot be compared with the pursuit of fast horses on land, and they can only wait patiently.

"The master went to the cabin to hide for the time being, and he was about to take on the fight."

Abagong trotted over and begged. He said and looked outside. The ship running in the front was about to pass by the pirate ship.

Wang Tong put a pergola in his hand and looked ahead, and said:

"You go down and hide, and I will watch from it."

Orders rang out on the ship, and many sailor crew members who were busy on the deck just now ran down the deck. Abagong's face turned pale and he didn't care about the request. He followed directly. Wang Tong and several personal guards around him were holding large shields in their hands. They were wearing plate armor and holding large shields in their hands, so they were not worried.

Wang Tong looked around a few times just now. There seemed to be no artillery on the pirate's ship, otherwise he would not have been so arrogant. The ship in the front of Wang Tong's fleet had already advanced alongside the last ship of the pirates.

Tangshan looked at the opposite side and on his own boat. Wang Tong assigned him an errand to explain in detail the actions during the naval war.

Someone on the boat shouted again. Although the Francophone language was spoken, he might have seen several sailors running to the winch, and he lowered his sails in a crazy manner. He narrowed his eyes and said:

"Sir, reduce sails and reduce them and keep the two ships parallel. This foreign ship is about to fire!"

The wide ship opposite also made movements, the sails changed direction, and the ship actually leaned towards this side. The two ships were less than two hundred steps away. Wang Tong could clearly see the pirates on the opposite ship behind the shield, and Tang Shan said again:

"Sir, the pirates are going to fight. The boat is against the big boat, just leaning up to jump and helping fight, but this..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Tong heard a slight sound on one side of the ship he was in. "The cannon window is open..." Tang Shan hurriedly said, no one could hear the following words clearly, and the whole ship swayed suddenly.

The sailors on the boat had experience and grabbed the things around them in time to fix them. However, Wang Tong and the others were caught off guard and staggered to the side and sat directly on the ground.

The cannons on one side of the ship opened fire. As the ship sailed, the smoke of gunpowder was quickly left behind. Wang Tong and others stood up and looked at it. In front of him, they saw the pirate ship opposite being thrown away. Wang Tong was stunned and realized that it was not that the ship being thrown away, but the ship he was in continued forward. The pirate ship that was hit had stopped and lay on the side of the ship to look over. The mast on the pirate ship was broken and several holes were opened.

"Sir, our ship is full of sails again. It will take time to load shells. So I give up the vacant space to the ship behind to continue bombing!!"

A sailor ran out of the cabin and turned the winch to raise the sails. At such a close distance, along the wind direction, the soft sail of the Garen ship could fully utilize the wind power, while the hard sail of the Cantonese ship was a little worse.

The first ship, the second ship quickly moved forward. The two broad ships in front saw that they had been caught up with, and saw that they were caught up with each other. The ship running in the front was ruthless. The sail turned and leaned directly towards Wang Tong's ship. You could see the pirates on the pirate ship with weapons standing on the deck and leaning on the side of the ship.

"General, the artillery here has to wait until it is installed!"

A rude Chinese word sounded behind Wang Tong. The title must be the person on the boat. Wang Tong glanced at Tangshan, Tangshan glanced at him twice, and said hurriedly:

"Pirates are 50% sure to get on."

Wang Tong nodded and said:

"Call the musket soldiers up and fight, and the personal soldiers will join the officer in hand and hand to fight!!"

Hearing Wang Tong's order, a personal soldier threw away his shield and ran towards the deck door. When he heard Wang Tong's order, the sailor who came to ask turned around and sent a signal.

The ship where Wang Tong was also located changed its rudder, adjusted its sails, and began to approach it. At this time, you could hear a loud bang behind you and a scream of death, and another pirate ship was knocked down.

The cabin door was wide open, and soldiers holding muskets came out in a row, and Sun Xin shouted:

"The direction of the enemy ship is two steps away from the side of the ship, four rows, half-squat, standby!!"

Seeing the soldiers lined up, Tang Shan suddenly spoke:

"Sir, take a few steps back, the pirate is about to throw the iron hook into the boat."

This Galen ship is much higher than the side of the Guang ship. When the two ships approach, the cannons can no longer be fired. Wang Tong could hear the loud howls of the pirates below, and the iron claws and hooks connected to the rope were thrown up and tightly clamped the edge of the side of the ship.

Close enough, Wang Tong slashed down with his hand, and Sun Xin shouted:

"Open fire!!"

The pirates who thought they could jump onto the boat had just grabbed the rope and suddenly saw dozens of iron sticks coming out of the side of the ship on their heads stretched out and then hung down.

Mars burst out and smoke filled the air. In less than twenty steps, the hit rate of the musket was terrible. There were screams below, but someone shouted:

"Come on, they don't have time to pretend..."
