Chapter 16 Finished! The main ship is pinned and unable to move
Zhu Kezhen knew that Liu Xiang would not miss this opportunity, and he saw that Liu Xiang's pirate ship was approaching again! Since the enemy ship was approaching, the catapult car could play a role! Moreover, the red-clothed cannons were aimed at the pirate ship transformed by the merchant ship, and temporarily let the British ship go.
"Huhu" three flints fell mercilessly onto the pirate ship. With a "boom", the pirates would be driven out by the impact. Some pirates still held long ladders and wanted to get close to the ship and immediately start boarding and attacking, but once the flints fell among them, they were lucky enough to fall on the ship, but unfortunately they had to fall into the water.
Even the ladder they were holding fell into the water. Those who fell into the water and were seriously injured could not swim and sank into the water. Those who could still swim were floating on the water and shouted: "Save me! Save me quickly!"
The fall of three flints caused the pirate ship to catch fire. Not only that, the cannons hit again. The red-clothed cannons hit one after another, and the final result of the pirate ship could only sink.
The pirates on the ship "jumped" and dived one after another. They could save their lives.
The ship where Liu Xiang was located was not in a hurry to attack and rescue his companions. He was not satisfied that the British ship was only bombarded from afar and did not launch an actual attack on the Ming army.
Zhang Biwu was happy and shouted: "Did you see it? The enemy ship has sunk! The scum who sells the country will not have a good ending!"
But as they were talking, the pirate ship was approaching, and there were some small ships beside these large pirate ships. These were barbed stakes. If the ship was targeted at the barbed stake and still had anchors, the big ship would not be able to move, and then they would have to be passively beaten. Especially for British ships with strong mobility and many artillery, they could think of how they could destroy the Ming ship.
The small trolley boat with barbed piles ran towards the main ship of the Ming army at lightning speed.
Zhang Biwu was not so stupid. He asked the ship to hold the main ship. Of course, he wanted to sink the ship to warship. Zhang Biwu sank two ships, but the number was really quite large!
The man shouted again, "Listen to the brothers of the siege! If someone drives the siege siege and nails the siege to the enemy ship and puts anchors, then every brother on the siege can reward ten taels of silver!"
"Wow!" The pirates on the pirate were crazy! There must be brave men under the reward. Let the Ming army's arrows and bullets hit the coverboard above the pirate. Even if someone was shot or shot, the others still shouted: "Silver! Silver!" They rushed towards the main ship of the Ming army as if they were crazy.
With a "boom", the two ships were blown to sink, but there were three of them that were slid into the net! They were heading towards the main ship.
Zhu Kezhen shouted: "Quick! Move! Remove the ship! Don't let them nail our main ship!" The ship moved away quickly and passed one, but the next two were honest and unceremonious, and the pierced piles were nailed into the main ship.
The main ship shook violently after being hit, and Zhu Kezhen almost fell. Fortunately, Zhang Pan supported him and shouted: "How is it? Our main ship was nailed?" Zhang Pan nodded helplessly.
That's right! The two pirates hit the main ship, and the pirates shouted, "Get off the anchor!" They lowered the anchor and separated the pirates and the pirates, thus trying to escape.
"Want to escape?" When Zhang Biwu saw it, he aimed at the right time and bombarded him. One yard was sunk. The same artillery fired and the other yard was sunk. They went to the Sea Dragon King to dream of getting rich!
At this time, the main ship cannot move! Danger comes! If the enemy concentrates firepower to attack, the main ship will definitely be sunk.
But facing such a dilemma, Zhu Kezhen was sure of it. He said: "No! If the British ship united with Liu Xiang and others, they would not sink the main ship where I am! If the British side alone, I think they would not have thought of the tactic of using the craft to trap our main ship! Our main ship would be besieged by the pirates boarded the ship! The British ship's artillery would not aim to sink our main ship!"
Zhang Pan couldn't help but startled and asked, "Master General, why do you think so? Our main ship is nailed and the enemy's ships fire together, and the main ship will sink! Like this, the other two ships can no longer fight! Victory will be in hand!"
Zhu Kezhen smiled and said, "Zhang Pan, you don't know my old opponent! Liu Xiang has been defeated by me many times. What he wants most is to catch me, then step on my head, humiliate him to show off his tyranny! He is a person who wants to save face, and Zheng Zhilong and I have to lose all his face. Of course he wants to save face, and now is an opportunity! You must know that the enemy has a great advantage. Under such circumstances, he certainly wants to fulfill his long wish!"
"For example, if I capture me, the main ship will also be captured. If this happens, the other two Ming ships will be easily captured. At that time, the captured three ships will be driven to the waters of Guangzhou City and show off to him, and they will even be stronger than Zheng Zhilong. And the British can use this to open the door of trade! They can gain more benefits in China than Florian!"
Zhu Kezhen looked at the British ship. When he saw that the British ship did not fire a cannon, he smiled and said, "I heard that merchants are just trying to seek the greatest benefit! These British robbers also have the essence of merchants. Then they will not sink our main ship, but will want to seize our three ships to intimidate Governor Zhang! Intimidate my Ming Dynasty! But what I want them to know is that this time they were wrong! Our Ming Dynasty is not other countries that allow fish and meat!"
Zhang Pan also clenched his fists tightly. He also thought so, and would not let the fish go! Fight for the honor of the Ming Dynasty!
As Zhu Kezhen expected, Weidell did not fire his six ships to sink the Mingzhu ship.
Terry felt very strange and asked: "Commander-in-Chief, the enemy ship is already extremely moving now. Why don't we concentrate all our artillery fire to sink? As long as we sink it, no matter whether the other two ships escape or not, we will win!"
Widell pointed and said, "Look! The two ships of the Ming army are a distance from their main ship. If they see the main ship being sunk, their first reaction is to escape. Although we can win, the victory is not great, and instead will anger the Chinese government. At that time, they will mobilize a large number of troops to start a war with us! We stayed in Macau for a while and saw that the Ming army is indeed very large! We can't fight hard!"
