"Oh! Damn it! What on earth is going on? Jack, are we ambushed by those despicable yellow-haired monkeys?"

On the main ship in the Spanish battleship group, Morientes' face turned red, like a roasted fat pig's head, and he looked anxiously at the tall figure next to him.

Executioner Jack also frowned tightly.

He also didn't expect that something that wasn't a big deal in the first place would have such a change at this time.

"Molen, don't worry, they're just a bunch of annoying little mice. I'll get rid of these troubles soon, and there won't be any problems."

As he said that, he smiled and patted Morientes on the shoulder, "Morun, it's too messy here. You'd better go back to the cabin, have a glass of wine, and have a good rest."

Although Morientes was unhappy, he clearly knew the strength of Executioner Jack, and spat fiercely: "Jack, you'd better kill these nasty rats quickly! Also, I hate the corpses of these rats!

I've had enough here, and I'm going back to Manila early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay. Morun, go and rest! Leave this place to me!"

Morientes cursed and returned to the cabin. Executioner Jack frowned tightly as he looked at the inexplicable boats around him that looked like a school of fish.

It’s no wonder that these despicable yellow-haired monkeys want to die!

After a moment, he shouted: "Intensify the firepower! Blast all these rats into the sea to feed the sharks!"

The pirate gangsters around them did not dare to neglect and hurriedly conveyed Executioner Jack's orders to the front line.

In this era, in these Western fleets, the main method of communication is still relying on semaphores, where the main ship commands the auxiliary fleets around it.

However, the effect of semaphores is pretty good during the day, but at night, especially on extremely dark, moonless nights, the difficulty of communicating semaphores is much greater.

In order to allow the surrounding ships to see the main ship's command more clearly, they could only light the fire and use the fire to add semaphores to enhance the signal.

But this time, the fire started, and the surrounding ships saw the main ship's signal clearly, but down below, the men of the Changsheng Battalion saw the signal equally clearly.

At this time, on a small boat thirty or forty steps away from the main ship, a Ming army soldier saw the messenger under the signal at a glance, and hurriedly said to the commander beside him: "Brother Hou, look! Look at that

Bian! He is the messenger of those white-haired monkeys! Do you want to shoot him down with a gun?"

Hou Jiangong, the commander-in-chief of the No. 6000 Corps of the Changsheng Battalion, could not help but be clever and shouted in a low voice: "Where is it?"

The soldier next to him hurriedly whispered: "Master Hou, on the head, on the east side of the head! Did you see it? There is a little black man."

Hou Jiangong quickly looked up, and sure enough, a native messenger was waving the small flag in his hand vigorously, seemingly giving orders to the surrounding fleets.

"Hehe! Ma Xiaoliu, you son of a bitch has such poisonous eyes! What a boy! Kill this puppy hair! I will record a great achievement for you!"

Hou Jiangong is an old fisherman from Zhenjiang. His hometown is in the middle of Shu. Even though he has been in Liao for many years, his local accent has not changed. In the first year of Tianqi, when Li Yuanqing escaped from Zhenjiang City through a tunnel, he had already followed Li Yuanqing.

around.

Although he was only a Hundred Households at this time, he held the position of deputy Qianhu, and actually commanded the overall strength of the Hundred Houses. He had experienced hundreds of battles and had extremely rich experience. He was Li Yuanqing's confidant and favorite general.

If Li Yuanqing hadn't set up a new battalion, this guy would have been promoted to the rank of Thousand Households, or even become the "big man" of a Thousand Corps Corps.

At this time, although Hou Jiangong had no experience in naval battles, he could tell at a glance that the flag in Xiao Hei's hand must be used to convey vital orders! He hurriedly handed a blunderbuss to the soldier next to him.

Ma Xiaoliu.

Ma Xiaoliu's ancestral home is Wushan County in central Sichuan. In his early years, he followed his mother to remarry and came to Liaodi. Although he grew up in Liaodi, because of his mother, his accent is not as pure as that of ordinary Liao people.

It also has a hint of Sichuan flavor.

It is also because of this that Hou Jiangong takes good care of him on weekdays.

Ma Xiaoliu did not disappoint Hou Jiangong. In just over a year, this boy's marksmanship has already shown his prowess, ranking among the top three in their group.

At this time, when he heard Hou Jiangong's order, Ma Xiaoliu was also overjoyed!

He quickly picked up the blunderbuss, quickly loaded the projectiles, lit the match, and took aim at the little black man who was just a few dozen steps away.

This little black guy was busy issuing semaphore orders under the firelight, without any precaution at all.

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by a burst of shrill roar of artillery fire, at this moment, no one noticed that there was a crisp sound of 'bang', and Xiao Hei's body swayed twice, like a leaf blown up by the wind.

He fell to the ground.

However, the Spanish warship's artillery fire was extremely sharp. After the angle of the artillery was lowered, it fired directly into the water, causing a rumble and splashing water all around.

The small bamboo raft next to Hou Jiangong and the others was almost overturned by the water waves caused by the shells. Fortunately, they were all men who grew up on the beach. They also wore the traditional mandarin duck war jackets of the Ming army, and they all wore leather armor and cotton armor.

, shirtless.

The armor is all dark in color. In such weather, it is difficult to see clearly even from a distance of thirty or forty steps without firelight.

At this time, Ma Xiaoliu also saw Xiao Hei fall to the ground. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Hou, it's hit! Hehehehe!"

Hou Jiangong was also overjoyed, but he had more battle experience, so he hurriedly swept upwards. Sure enough, as he expected, after Xiao Hei fell to the ground, another Xiao Hei's substitute came up and started to pick it up again.

The little flag gives orders.

Hou Jiangong reacted immediately and shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, let's not go up in a hurry. Liu'er, it's up to you now! Do you see it? If anyone dares to take the chess piece, you will take it.

Who did I destroy?"

Ma Xiaoliu also reacted and smiled: "Brother Hou, don't worry! I'll take care of it!"

After a moment, there was another crisp sound, and the little black flag bearer also fell to the ground. There was a burst of yelling from the bow of the ship, but no one dared to come forward to wave the flag.

The artillery of the surrounding Spanish warships is no longer as neat as before.

Hou Jiangong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted in a low voice: "All cats are coming, all cats are coming! Dogs, put your armor in front to block the light of the fire, don't let the idiots find us!"

"Come on." The soldier named Gouzi hurriedly took off a layer of cotton armor and carefully stood in front of him.

At this time, there were more and more Ming army boats around, like a swarm of piranhas besieging a whale, swarming towards this side. Many people had already followed the flying tiger claws and rushed onto the bow of the ship to fight with these pirates.

Fighting together.

Previously, in order to prevent rain, the main offensive prepared by Li Yuanqing was basically based on cold weapons.

The men were shirtless, wearing four or even five armors, and only shorts on their lower bodies. They were like death squads, rushing to the Spanish ships and fighting hand-to-hand with them.

Another key reason for doing this was that Li Yuanqing did not know whether the Spaniards were equipped with matchlocks or pistols.

If it is a matchlock gun, there is no problem, but if the gun is fired, the cannon soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion will shoot at them, and there is almost no chance of winning!

With a lower civilization fighting a higher civilization, Li Yuanqing could only grit his teeth and prepare to suffer casualties!

But at this time, the situation in front of him was completely beyond Li Yuanqing's expectation!

These Spanish bastards obviously fell into panic after the power of the artillery lost its effectiveness. Although there were gunshots on the ship, they were few and far between.

As more and more men rushed to the bow of the ship, the entire bay was already in chaos.

The sound of artillery, the sound of muskets, the shouts, and the shouts of killing were like the end of the world.

At the same time, at the exit of the bay, a large number of wooden oil barrels with their mouths unscrewed were piled onto the sea surface.

Behind them, there were two or three large Spanish ships, and five or six medium-sized ships had not entered. However, in such a situation, they did not dare to rush in. They could only scan the darkness with artillery, and they were blinded one by one.

At this time, in the woods on the left side of the bay exit, three bright flares rose into the night sky.

After a while, three flares shot up into the night sky on the right side.

Li Yuanqing no longer hesitated and couldn't help laughing: "Give them the order! Light the fire!"

"yes!"

Niu Gensheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ordered the men around him to light the signal flares.

In a moment, there were also three signal flares in the jungle here, rushing into the night sky.

How could the men on both sides of the bay's exit still hesitate? One after another, the ignited fire spears were thrown into the sea.

In an instant, there was a 'rumbling', and a monstrous fire rose from the sea, reaching a height of more than ten meters in the air.

On the Spanish main ship, Executioner Jack was also panicked. He also realized at this time that this was not a little mouse, but a complete premeditation!

I couldn't help shouting: "Quick! Quick! Don't worry about so much! The main ship turns around! Let's get out of here first!"

In the captain's cabin, a white helmsman was also scared to death.

Although they are elite and a powerful pirate force relying on the Spanish official regular navy, after all, they still have too few white people. More importantly, they mainly absorb local indigenous and Chinese people.

Especially the command system of the entire fleet was completely targeted by Hou Jiangong and the others. All five flag bearers on the main ship were dead.

The entire fleet's command system has, in fact, been paralyzed.

At this time, the white helmsman was about to turn around with full rudder, but suddenly found that the two battleships in front had blocked their way, making it impossible to turn around. He hurriedly returned the rudder and urgently stopped the direction of the main ship.

swing.

As the fire at the mouth of the bay grew stronger and stronger, the entire bay became increasingly chaotic.

More and more Ming soldiers climbed onto the big ship through flying tiger claws and ropes, and fought with these Spanish pirates on the middle ship.

But these pirates are very good at naval battles. Unfortunately, in terms of individual combat and teamwork, how can they be the opponents of the elites of the Changsheng Battalion who have grown up in the battle with the main force of the Jin Army?

Soon, the pirates on several Spanish main battleships showed their weakness and lost the initiative on the deck. They had no choice but to retreat to the cabin to fight.

On the deck, more and more Ming soldiers boarded the ship smoothly, continuing to expand their strategic advantage!
