Chapter 43 Attack on Hong Kong

The ministers of the South Ocean ordered the harassment of Cebu Island, causing the pirates entrenched in southern Luzon to cheer.

However, their leader Lin Afeng was just the opposite. He was not happy about it, but fell into deep worries.

Lin Feng has been trying to get his subordinates back to the "right track". He is not the kind of farming with hoes, but as pirates, he has obtained a lonely land overseas, without laws and taxes, and they are their own army and protect their own land.

I thought that following Chen Mu Nanzheng would make him get closer and closer to this track, but the result made him feel that he was getting further and further away.

Chen Mu asked Lin Feng to see more, see the warships of the Western Yi, the bird guns and cannons of the Ming army, and see the lonely overseas land that he thought was vulnerable under the Ming army fleet.

This severely hit Lin Feng's confidence.

"It's a hell!"

The pirate leader leaned against the side of the ship and irritated his hair that blocked his eyes, turned around and kicked the box piled under the mast, and asked, "Is this the armor and firearm that Chen Shuai admired us?"

Mr. Zhuang, wearing a breastplate, nodded and raised his hand to signal Lin Feng, saying, "A ship of ten boxes, armor and guns."

Some of the wooden boxes were filled with single-sided breastplates, and some were flint-lined bird guns. Now Chen Mu's direct troops have replaced flintlock bird guns, and they have piled up thousands of flint-lined bird guns in their hands. They simply repack and seal them with the opportunity to change their subordinates in Manila.

Originally, it was prepared for Suleiman's people, but now Lin Feng needs to strengthen his force, so he first allocated six hundred guns and two hundred single-faced breastplates for him.

Lin Feng originally had a large number of muskets and bird guns, and they were all bought with trophy and Chen Mu in the past after selling stolen goods.

The changes Mr. Chen brought to this pirate are so terrible.

Before meeting Chen Mu, Lin Feng's brothers also equipped many firearms, so there were naturally fuses, but they were the most precious firearms, with only a dozen, and the most equipped ones were firearms brought from local garrisons and smuggling merchants, such as the Tianzi hand gun.

At that time, he dared to attack the ports and cities of the government. Later, he stopped because he reached a similar alliance with Chen Mu and promised him not to harm the local area.

As for now?

Lin Feng raised an almost brand new bird gun from the wooden box, held it in his hand and tried it, looking around and asked, "How many are there?"

Duke Zhuang understood Lin Feng’s meaning and said without blinking, “There are more than 200 archers.”

"That's more than two thousand guns."

Lin Feng turned around and threw the bird gun to his subordinates, pointed to the wooden box, leaned back to the side of the ship, looked at the sea and the unknown islands in the distance, and turned around for a while and said, "Those who can use guns will lift up the guns, those who can't use guns will hold their swords, spears and shields, and armor will be on the ship."

"Let's get up, Lin thinks that this Cebu Island can be attacked for a strong attack."

More than 30 great blessing ships raised their butterfly sails. When the flagship pirates heard the leader's words, they all called guns to the sky, shouting for a moment, and drove towards Cebu Island in a mighty way.

Chen Mu's movements were slow because he knew that Regasby built a bastion with full defense in Cebu Island. If he wanted to go there, he had to make complete preparations. Not only did he hit the next port, he wanted to blow the bastion away.

Lin Feng didn't have such worries, or pirates never had these ideas - if you win, you would take all the money, and if you can't win, you should withdraw. If you think so much, how tired you should.

Don't worry about it or not, try a beat first.

Cebu Island is not far from the southernmost end of Luzon Island where Lin Feng Army is stationed. The wind direction is normal and only takes a day to sail. Lin Feng, who sets off at noon, crosses the sea like a ghost at night, and reaches the northeastern port of Cebu.

The boating at night allowed them to escape the wolf smoke passing through the island. Although several Western barbarians on the shore fired guns while they were sailing along the coast, no matter how enemies and enemies knew that the bird gun could not be so far away.

Lin Feng, who was full of confidence, looked at the small port with his arms and was looking forward to fighting with the defenders at the near port. He saw several lights suddenly erupting in the distance, and then the sound of cannons came from a very far place.

It was like the thunder rumbling in the sky that had been boring for a long time before the rain fell.

"Listen to the sound, four cannons are not small. They are right in front of the port, on both sides, far and near?"

Lin Feng frowned and looked at the shore. After the cannon wheel was fired, he fell silent again. Except for the lights in the port, he could not see any other movement. He stared at the direction of the shell falling into the water and said, "Look at the distance, it's not far away. As for what makes Chen Shuai so afraid? Well... what's wrong with Duke Zhuang."

The shore cannons generally hit farther than ship cannons, which is a consensus at sea. Even the Ming Dynasty was like this. However, except for Chen Mu's territory, the Ming Dynasty's big fire was not farther away.

But Lin Feng had seen the cannon tubes when the Saint-Babulo was docked at the port. He thought that the defense cannons on the West Bank should be heavier, but he did not expect that the range was only three or four miles.

The distance is not close, but Lin Feng seems to be almost scared to him. Chen Erye’s ship cannon can even stick his butt out so far!

In front of Lin Feng's flagship, there were eight lucky ships and wide ships led by Zhuang Gongshu. It can be said that this is Lin Feng's pioneer general.

However, at this time, six of the eight warships under Duke Zhuang deviated from the central army to the left and right wings, and all lowered the sails, and only two of them were still sailing forward.

The pirates on Lin Feng's ship looked at each other in a row, and no one understood what Duke Zhuang was doing. In just a moment, the two lucky ships had already set off hundreds of steps to the port at full speed according to the previous wind speed. The fleet behind them all lowered their speed because Duke Zhuang's three yaw ships blocked the speed. They could only see two lucky ships rushing towards the port alone.

Three or four miles apart, suddenly the port was filled with fire. For a moment, the entire port lit up one after another. I don’t know how many artillery roared out at the same time. The sound of shells falling into the sea was like a thunderstorm, splashing waves close to the height of the forecastle in the distance.

The two lucky ships were like falling into a storm, and Lin Feng could even hear the terrifying shouts of sailors on the ship. The lucky ship on the right quickly rushed to the front and turned back like rain. The other one also wanted to escape in panic, but the masts in the front and rear were broken, and the steering caused by inertia could not drag the heavy body to escape back.

The mast hit the deck with heavy sails, and the sailor wrapped in the sail rope was like being held by monsters in the sea, screaming loudly until his body sank to the bottom of the sea.

The lucky ship that escaped by chance could hear the pirates shouting in panic from a distance. Seeing the sails fading away little by little, Lin Feng knew that he had lost two warships in a blink of an eye.

When the pirates approached the fleet, they jumped into the sea and swam hard to see them. They were responded to the small boats released by Duke Zhuang in advance.

Then Gong Gong's fleet was circling along the east coast of the island. Lin Feng had not yet reacted from the shock of the cannons on the shore, and ordered the fleet to follow. After approaching, he asked Gong Zhuang: "How do you know they have cannons?"

"Distance test shot."

After boarding the flagship, Mr. Zhuang looked ugly and said to Lin Feng: "Li Dan told me that he saw Chen Shuai's cannon fucking, first try the distance, and adjust the angle of the other cannons, right, angle, and then fire the volley."

Damn, why did you let the Western Yi learn it?

Lin Feng was frustrated in the sudden attack and ordered angrily: "They moved all the boats and guns ashore, bypassed the port, and walked dozens of miles before landing!"
