Chapter 246 The howling of artillery!
"This is a massacre!" Hiding in a house at the dock, Wang Shijie looked at his fallen men and the weapons that kept spraying flames, and his heart was shattered. He had never seen such a terrible weapon. In just a moment, he lost the will to fight.
"Retreat!" A trembling word was spoken from Wang Shijie's mouth. He didn't care about anything. He led more than a dozen men to quickly pass through the woods and run towards the new dock south. It was where his real fleet was. But when he turned around, he suddenly saw a sea boat on the dock being lit. After a ray of black smoke floated into the sky, his face turned pale. He didn't expect such a situation to happen, because the attack signal they agreed on was smoke.
Above the flagship, Sun Dongxu was looking at hundreds of ships gathered in the waters to the west with a telescope. The ships were of different sizes, the large ones were dozens of meters and the small ones were five or six meters. But what was common was that these ships were pirates holding spears and swords. When the fleet entered the dock, these ships had already gathered, as if waiting for something. After black smoke rose from the dock, the ships began to move towards the fleet.
"Board battle?" Sun Dongxu looked at the spears that were seven or eight meters long in the hands of those people. He had also seen these weapons, just to use them during water fights. He and his father also used them. That was when fighting with a merchant ship.
Xia Guangyi stood on the armed treasure ship adjacent to Sun Dongxu, with the two more than 20 meters apart. He said, "What should I do? Should I open fire now? With our range, these pirate ships are within range."
Putting down the telescope, Sun Dongxu shook his head. "The fight has started on the dock, which means that Zeng Zhida's negotiations have failed. We and this group of pirates have no room for improvement. Now we can eliminate as many pirates as we can. Otherwise, the ships going to sea in Yizhou will still face the threat of pirates in the future. If you fire the gun now, you will only scare them away. Put them at a time of 100 meters to fire them, and try to annihilate this wave of pirates."
"Okay, understand!" Xia Guangyi saluted. Although the two were good brothers, there were only superiors and subordinates on the battlefield.
On the dock, Zeng Zhida cut over the last pirate who resisted. He looked at the pirates who were running away in the same direction and said, "The first regiment, the second regiment chased me, and the rest kept their heads and cleared the battlefield."
"Yes!" The soldiers of the First Regiment and the Second Regiment responded in unison. Although Li Yan changed the system of the government troops to the recruitment system, he still followed the organization of the government troops. For example, the Zhechong Duwei had a lieutenant, each lieutenant was in charge of a lieutenant, and each lieutenant was divided into two brigades, with one hundred people in each brigade. There was a brigade commander, and the team below the brigade was a team of fifty people, with a team standing under the team. Each fire was ten people, and the fire chief was in charge. Because of this operation, Zeng Zhida, who was still a lieutenant before departure, was temporarily appointed as a lieutenant, commanding the twelve regiments of the Marine Corps.
He led the first regiment to chase, and the remaining third and fourth regiment began to clean the battlefield. In just over a dozen minutes, they wiped out more than a thousand people, and the entire dock was dyed red. In addition to these dead pirates, they also found many slaves robbed by pirates in the dock's room, whether it was the Tang people, the Silla people, or the dark Kunlun slaves.
Following the wind, the pirates' ships approached very quickly. In just half an hour, more than 300 pirate ships arrived at the sea area 500 meters away from the fleet.
On the warship, the messengers kept chanting flags. The gunners of the ten warships were all in place. On the outside, the shooting ports of the treasure ships were opened one by one, and all the guns were pushed out and aimed at the invading pirates.
When black smoke rose at the dock, Junichiro Koizumi ordered the fleet to start moving forward. He was the Japanese man with Wang Shijie. Among the pirates in this sea area, in addition to Wang Shijie, there were other Japanese pirates. The reason why Wang Shijie was able to grow was entirely due to the support of Japanese pirates. He was also bought by Wang Shijie when he was in Japan. Because he was good at commanding the fleet, he quickly gained Wang Shijie's reuse.
As the fleet approached the Shu King fleet, Junichiro Koizumi became more and more uneasy. The intuition on the battlefield made him feel a little unusual. Any fleet either fleeing when facing hundreds of pirate ships, or defending soldiers would surge out from the ship, but these dozen warships had no movement at all. They suddenly opened many square mouths on the side, and some black tubes stretched out, and the deck of the ship was always calm, as if they didn't care at all.
But despite this, the smoke rising from the dock was already conveying Wang Shijie's order to seize these warships and "kill...", and the huge warship was right in front of him. The pirates raised their weapons and shouted. At this moment, a deafening voice resounded throughout the sky. Koizumi Junichiro saw countless fire lights on the opposite side, and then the black ball flew over like lightning.
"Dongdong..." The black iron ball hit the pirate ship with a dull sound. A pirate ship was hit by dozens of shells and instantly turned into powder. Some pirates were directly hit by shells, and they were beaten into mud.
Fear, deep fear, the pirates' shouts instantly turned into tragedy, the ships were torn apart, and the entire fleet was in chaos.
Junichiro Koizumi stood on the sea boat, and there was no one on both sides of him. Countless shells whizzed past his ears and took all his crew away. He could no longer speak, his legs trembled and could not move. In his eyes, countless flying wood chips and blood were flying. In the rumbling sound, the sea boats sank one by one.
Sun Dongxu looked at the group of pirates who were escaping everywhere and the desperate expression on their faces. For the first time, he fully realized the terror of this weapon. Just one hundred meters away, the pirate warships were directly penetrated by shells, and more than a dozen shells were enough to destroy a sea ship. Most of the pirates were hit directly by dense shells, connected into a string and flew out, and they saw that they could not survive.
After looking at the watch, the shooting has lasted for a lot of time. Within the range of more than ten miles of the naval gun, these pirate ships had nowhere to escape. The sea ships trying to escape were also sunk by one by one. Half an hour later, only floating broken wood and corpses were left on the sea.
"Stop shooting and catch all those who are not dead. We still need someone to guide us." Sun Dongxu issued an order, and the group of pirates were already like a stray dog without any threat.
After his order was issued, the fleet began to move towards the destroyed pirate ship. The ropes were thrown down. The pirates who were not dead seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw and climbed up the rope.
"Person Sun, let's catch a Japanese man." While Sun Dongxu was staring at the sea, a soldier held a trembling man and threw him in front of Sun Dongxu. "According to those pirates, he is the capable subordinate of the great pirate Wang Shijie. Moreover, in addition to this pier, Wang Shijie's real pirate fleet was anchored in another pier, which is said to be not far from here."
Glance at the Japanese, he said, "What's your name?"
"The little one is called Junichiro Koizumi." At this time, Junichiro Koizumi was scared and dared not hide anything.
Sun Dongxu sneered, "You should know where the dock is. Lead the way now, otherwise I will throw you down and feed the fish."
"Yes, yes..." Junichiro Koizumi nodded like pounding garlic.
At this time, Zeng Zhida had been chasing the coast for nearly forty minutes. After crossing a hillside, he suddenly realized that outside the woods was a semicircular sea surrounded by mountains, with a very vast area and very hidden area. When the fleet arrived just now, they were blocked by the mountains outside the bay and did not see the bay.
The pirates who were running down the hillside were still running down, while on the side of the beach were more than a hundred sea boats of different sizes, some of which had begun to flee.
