Chapter 83 The Black Ship
Bang!
The shells that came from somewhere roared and roared across the forecastle. The broken wood chips were flying all over the sky. As the swords and guns came out, Chen Mu tried his best to overturn the Japanese pirates blocking the front, and blood splattered all over his face.
The strong wind came from behind his ears, and he quickly lowered his body, and heard a horrible and indignant sound beside him. Qi Zheng Yandao raised his head and jumped out to fight to meet the enemy and fought in a group. Yu Guang saw Long Junxiong sideways and gently hit the Japanese pirate who was shot dead and wanted to sneak attack Chen Mu. Then he turned around and pulled out the long sword that penetrated the Japanese pirate's throat, shouted loudly and kicked it out with nearly a foot.
In the flash of lightning, the lucky ships fought in chaos.
In the past two years, Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong were raised by Chen Mu, and he was full of food. He was originally capable of fighting with high strength and short-term soldiers. The two of them fought in the square cub were very well-organized, and they were divided into different parts. The Japanese sword did not fight with pirate weapons head-on. They only took the enemy's armour-free wrists and cut them under the neck, and were stable and accurate. Even if seven or eight pirates swarmed up, they would jump to the side and jump to the side cub and head to the other side.
In the chaos, Chen Mu saw the familiar figure erected in the forecastle before hiding the flying shells. His dry beard and deep eye sockets were impressive. He saw the man holding a sword and waving to Shiqi, who was commanding the flag army to defend.
"Boom them to death!"
Two Franco machines were set up on the forecastle, facing Shiqi!
Chen Mu's scalp tightened and shouted loudly: "Shiqi, Bird Gun Team!"
Shiqi was making a loud order, and the flag army that led the centipede ship to jump to the deck of the Fu Ship to launch a formation to block the stern of the Japanese pirates where a large number of sailors gathered. After they hit the Fu Ship, three enemy ships had already leaned on the way to transport troops. This was the result of the big Fu Ship being hit by Deng Zilong in the waist. The guns were sounded around him, so how could Chen Mu's shouting be heard?
There was no other way, so Chen Mu had to use the same trick again based on guessing.
"Zeng San Lao!"
The waist knife landed on the ground, and the short gun was in hand.
Chen Mu was not sure that the bearded man was Zeng Yiben, but his intuition told him that this person was chasing Zeng Yiben who had burned everywhere for several days!
His intuition was right. Zeng Yiben, who was shocked by Chen Mu's gun at a brief intersection at the sea, heard someone calling him in chaos. When he turned around, he felt that his hair was standing upside down. The head of the official army on the deck who had a chance to hang his left arm on his chest was holding his pistol with one hand facing him!
Bang!
Chen Mu had not had time to see if he hit the gun. The Japanese pirates operating the Franco machine cannon in the forecastle were waiting to be fired. Suddenly, the centipede ship behind him blasted a series of cannons. Countless Franco machine cannon shells flew like locusts, and wood chips flew all over the sky. Some were even shot into the sea by the Franco machine.
Fu Yuan made contributions to the artillery soldiers who stayed behind the ship.
In the chaos, Chen Mu saw someone climbing up and dropping his weapons and jumping into the sea, shouting and dying. Some people also had the inexplicable ambition to die and attacked the deck, and then was killed by Qi Zhengyan with his knife.
"The leader is dead!"
It seemed that the fierce maritime battlefields were paused for a moment because of this shout. Then the flag army clearly felt that the morale of the Japanese pirates had dropped to the lowest level. Although there were indeed some brave men, more pirates turned from offense to defense, and even more fled by boat.
But they didn't run far. In front of them, Bai Yuanjie led a small boat to meet the battle, and later Chen Lin led a fleet to join the battlefield. There was a large black ship floating on the sea in the distance. There was no way for Japanese pirates to survive under the siege.
The Japanese pirates on the Dafu ship were in a blink of an eye. Chen Mu left a few live-actions to Shi Qi to identify the body. He hurriedly climbed up the forecastle and shouted loudly about the sailors Li Dan who came from Haojing. Then he saw that Li Dan, who was wet, had already climbed onto his lucky ship.
"The adoptive father doesn't have to worry, the child is fine!"
The sea water soaked a wound on Li Dan’s shoulder white, but his face was chuckled, looking around the corpse of the forecastle, suddenly bowed down and clasped his fists and said, “Congratulations to the adoptive father for killing Zeng Yiben! This is a great achievement!”
Others don’t know Zeng Yiben, but Li Dan heard people talk about the appearance of the three elders. Who else can besides Zeng Yiben besides Zeng Yiben?
Seeing Li Dan recognize Zeng Yibeng, especially Zeng Yibeng's fatal wound on his body, Chen Mu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, "I can't eat and sleep well in the sea these days, but it's a result... Where did the big black ship come from?"
There were unowned warships everywhere on the sea, but neither the black-tailed blessed ship nor the white-haired blessed ship could arouse Chen Mu's interest. What he was most interested in was the huge Carrick sailing ship in the distance.
"A merchant ship that the leader of the Francos was found by Pereira, a merchant ship that had just arrived in the Mojijing from Mantaga was borrowed by Pereira... Adopted father, this Francosman has no merits in this fight, so don't give them rewards."
Chen Mu frowned and asked, "They didn't fire?"
"I'm so slow that I'm dying. I'll have a few cannons on the ship. When they get close to us, we'll fight together." Li Dan shook his head, tilted his head to look at the big black ship and smiled: "The Franchise man can't tell who is who, so how dare he fire the cannon."
Chen Mu thought about it, and smiled casually. He had no credit and had hard work. He didn't plan to give the Franji people anyway, otherwise it would have hurt their enthusiasm too much, but in short, it wouldn't be too much.
"I have someone bandage your wounds, and then let the doctor show you when you go back to Xiangshan. I will send someone to count the casualties first. If you have any losses and military achievements from all the people who attract businessmen, you must count them truthfully."
He was going to check the profits of war. The ship belonged to Xin'an, and most of the things that the people in Guangcheng could not move, and these ships were also handed over to Guangzhou Prefecture. However, the pirates' weapons and their belongings still belonged to their profits of war. This matter requires him to discuss and decide with Chen Lin and Bai Yuanjie.
Not long after, Hua Yu boarded the lucky boat and said to Chen Mu, "Chunhu, Pereira's Francophones were very sorry for not helping them. Let me ask you what they can do."
"What can they do? If you can do more, go and come with me to take a look at their ship."
There is indeed something that needs Pereira to do, for example... pull out the two centipede ships embedded in the hull of the Fu Ship, and on the way back to Guangcheng, they also need to use their boats to drag the large ships that cannot move.
These ships are not a big deal at sea.
"Qianhu, this is not the first time we cooperated with the imperial court. Although the Governor did not give us what we wanted last time when we sent troops, this was at least a good start. We are merchants that the Ming Dynasty could trust." The priest slowly translated Pereira's words, held the cross on his chest and nodded slowly, and then said: "We are happy to use the big black ship to help you pull the boat."
It seemed that the priest did not mention a single word to reward Pereira was a little anxious. After a few words, the priest said reluctantly: "Pereira asked you, can our sailors receive the promised reward?"
Chen Mu smiled and said, "There is no military achievements, but there is still hard work. You follow Leader Li to fight and fulfill your obligation to serve as a merchant in Haojing. So I decided to take out some money as a reward for your sailing here. Let's talk about this matter back to Haojing."
"If I wanted this ship, how much would you price it?"
