"Damn, the old house I have worked hard to manage. Every brick is set up according to the ancestral "Feng Shui Treasure Mirror", but it has never been effective. It turns out that it should be on the Western Red Fan. This time, it finally has smoke from the ancestral tomb.

When I came back from Luzon, I got dozens of Western cannons. At that time, what kind of cat master, dog master, I was holding a sea dog in my left hand and a snow cat in my right hand. The two grandsons of Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao were tied to the door of my Cao family's treasure house to keep my house. Hehehe."

Cao Tianchong couldn't help laughing when he thought of his pride. He had seen the firearms of Westerners with his own eyes. He was a thief at sea, a real thief who relied on robbery at sea. When he saw the speed of fire of Westerners' artillery fire, he realized that his three ships were definitely not opponents. With such sharp firearms, if he had more ships, even the four major bandits in the East China Sea would not be opponents.

The Westerners' muskets were also extremely accurate. Cao Tianchong saw with his own eyes that the Western captain Fernando threw several small wine jars into the sea. When it was sinking or floating on the sea, it was difficult to aim, and the pirates ordered one gun to shoot one, and the guns broke.

Such force, hehe, has climbed up to this high branch and developed! It’s just a pity...

Cao Tianpeng habitually calculated and thought regretfully: If it was three days later, this day would be great. It would be better to start a career and go out for a long journey. Alas, but Westerners don’t believe this, his grandmother’s.

Cao Tianchong's father was originally a Feng Shui master. Although Cao Tianchong was stout and burly since childhood and had no gentle appearance, he could still read and write with his father, and learned a lot of Feng Shui skills.

But he didn't expect that he was also very particular about looking at Feng Shui. He looked so handsome that he could trust his abilities, and very few people asked him to see Feng Shui. When his father, who was getting older and more valuable, would die, he would be thrusting that day.

One day more than 20 years ago, a pirate leader died. His subordinates transported him back to the land and secretly abducted Cao Tianchong to help him choose a cemetery. When he wanted to kill him to silence him, he knelt down and begged for mercy, so he simply joined the pirates. Only then did he save his life. Unexpectedly, he became the leader of the thieves in Dulong Island after more than 20 years.

This man did not change his habits as a pirate, but he made the mountain gate steer magnificent and very particular, just like the show of a traditional Jiangnan family. Most of his private money was used to buy this mountain house.

The house has a screen wall, a gate tower, a front tower, a middle tower, a back tower and a Guanshan Pavilion. There are wing rooms on both sides, and each entry is equipped with a patio. There are reliefs on it. The reliefs are all auspicious figures, with peonies symbolizing wealth; pine trees symbolizing longevity; daffodils symbolizing gods; Buddha's hands are harmonious and happiness.

As for the "Three Many Pictures", "Four Gentlemen", "Eight Immortals Celebrate Birthday", "God of Heavenly Officials", "Spending Money to Protect Neighbors", and "Harming Two Immortals" can be seen everywhere.

Everyone on the island knows that the patterns on each door of the boss Cao's house have their own meanings. The first door is "to extend your hand and get rich", the second door is "to step on your feet and get blessed". The third door is "to raise your head and get longevity", the fourth door is "to turn back and have an official", the fifth door is "to have a happy time when going out", and the last door is "to have a treasure when entering the door".

It’s a pity that there is no treasure in the inner house of Cao’s family. There is no treasure in the dead, and there is no treasure in the living. There are more than 30 women who are as beautiful as flowers at home. I don’t know if Mr. Cao has done too much morals and has not even given birth to a child. Now Mr. Cao is almost fifty and has only recognized two godsons.

Two three-masted sailboats bypassed the land of the sea dog and adjusted their course towards Dulong Island. These Western pirates were not afraid of sea dogs. Sea dogs were more powerful than ships, and they were more powerful than artillery. Both sides had their own fears, and they would not have conflicts unless necessary.

There are more and more seagulls in the sky. This is a sign of land or island nearby. It is close to Poison Dragon Island. The two three-masted sailboats have square sails for the foremast, trapezoidal sails for the main mast, and spinnakers for the rear mast. Each ship is equipped with 25 cannons. They are two warships used by Captain Pedro, the pirate leader.

The sailors were busy everywhere. The sea was calm and the sun was shining, and the sailors were in a good mood. This was an easy journey.

Life on the ocean is difficult and dangerous, and often suffers from life-threatening storms or battles. Although pirate sailors benefit a lot, these bachelors who are far away from their hometowns do not have the habit of saving money. As soon as they get ashore, they spend all their income and spend all their money.

So the pirates on the ship are all penniless. They are sloppy, unshaven, incomplete teeth, rough skin, ragged clothes and very incompatible. They are completely different from the pirates described in the pirate movies, and they do not wear earrings like the novels. This is because earrings are inappropriate and will hook clothes, which will especially affect combat.

However, the pirate ship Fernando, the down-and-out nobleman, still partially retained the habits of the noble. He had huge gold earrings on his ears, which shone in the sun. The tight linen robe covered with a round cloak, which was fixed on his left shoulder. When the sea breeze blew the cloak, it exposed the wide belt around his waist, and a hand gun was inserted on it, and a Western sword was slanted.

"Hey! It's almost here. There are all kinds of oriental women on Dulong Island, both beautiful and docile. We want to have a paradise. We will never have to spend money on the thin and lonely girls in Luzon in the future."

Esbado, with a hooked nose, shouted happily to his friends, turning the rudder.

Selvet laughed loudly, and he stood on the high ground, adjusting his sails while singing loudly: "We are pirates, fierce pirates, holding bottles of wine in their left hand and treasure in their right hand. We are pirates, pirates with abilities, hey! Beautiful girls, please come to my arms,"

Infected by his happy emotions, the pirates all over the boat sang loudly: "We are pirates, free pirates, under the guidance of the skeleton flag, we work hard to survive. We are pirates. There is no tomorrow's pirates..."

The pirates on the other ship responded, and the sea breeze vaguely sent their singing voices. Fernando stroked his two beards, gently hit the beat, and joined the ranks of singing with a smile.

The bow of the boat broke through the waves, rising and falling lightly, galloping towards Dulong Island in their happy singing.

"Sir Qianhu, there is a Broken Leaf Reef ahead, and it takes less than an hour to go around. Let's go to Dulong Island," the sailor in charge of looking out shouted.

The huge hull rides the wind and waves, the hull shakes gently, bumping up and down, Peng Xiaoyang stands steadily on the bow of the ship with bare feet, his copper-cast arms firmly clamping the side of the ship, and said grimly: "Haha, okay, speed up the speed. We must seize the Poison Dragon Island first. Lord Han is now the Admiral of the Fujian Navy, so don't let him underestimate us!"

He was naturally full of ambition. He had already touched the fineness of Dulong Island clearly. Some small boats and broken boats on the island were dispersed. Cao Tianchong had already let them go when he was dispersing the old and weak on the island. There were only three warships on the island, with a total of less than forty guns.

His main warship was equipped with fifteen new Folang machine cannons made by the Nanjing Military Weapon Bureau, each with ten game guns. In addition to the original twenty heavy artillery, he was confident that he would have wiped out Cao Tianchong's warships with this warship alone, not to mention that there were seven warships.

Peng Xiaoyang smiled and touched the beards that were not thick enough under his jaw. He smiled evilly: "There are many women on Dulong Island. After the beating is done, I can buy them first. The price is 40% lower than that of takeaway.

If you want to get a beautiful and obedient wife, just give me some strength! Master Cheng has instructed that you must win beautifully in this battle. If you win simply, no one will show me fear! I am a little ill and I am worthy of my brothers, and I am a woman who has made meritorious people, and I am not a living person who holds the masts!"

This is not the law in the army, but the rules of Peng Xiaoyang. There are soldiers who are not serious in training and violate military discipline. They tie the masts. When they are exposed to the wind and sun, they will lose their skin even if they are not dead. They are much more powerful than killing sticks.

One third of his soldiers were his father's original subordinates, one third of them were the original navy officers and soldiers, and the other were the new recruits who had just joined the army. However, no matter what their origins were, after following the bandit for a long time, the officers and soldiers on the ship were covered in bandit spirit. When they heard this, they screamed in laughter, and murderous aura and desire ignited in their eyes.

Cao Tianchong was commanding the pirates to board the ship, and he had sent all the old, weak, women and children away. Now all the rest are his elite soldiers and those beautiful women who are reluctant to give them to others.

The waves gently hit the reefs on the shore, and the hull was shaking gently. A group of young women wearing different costumes in Japan, Korea, Yizhou, Ryukyu and other places were carefully boarding the boat on the pedals.

These women were really troublesome. They were walking on the pedal as if they were afraid of stepping on ants. Damn, when they were hit hard by my "long spear" with four legs facing the sky, they had never seen them so weak.

Cao Tianchong sighed helplessly: There are only less than ten women on board, nearly a hundred people. When will it take?

This big ship is his ship. Cao Tianchong is not stupid either. He gathered all the women on his ship and took care of them nearby, just to avoid being seen by Westerners and make some excuses to ask for them.

The pirates robbed their families and didn't know whether they could come back alive every time they went to sea. If they wanted to have their lives, they had to give them enough enjoyment. Women were undoubtedly the most important one, which was a tool to win over the morale of the army and boost morale. And if necessary, they could also sell them into money. The women who swayed with round buttocks on the boat were piles of silver, so Cao Tianchong was naturally reluctant to give it to others.

The pirates on the three ships were also busy, not busy manipulating the schooner and looking at the sea, but busy exploring the place to mercy their own private wealth. The Chinese people's interest in accumulating wealth is far more than squandering, and even pirates are no exception.

Some pirates are trying hard to accumulate wealth even if they have no family or relatives. Today, they are migrating across the island and are about to run to other places. All pirates are busy with their own private property, for fear of being touched by others in the chaos, and no one is looking at the high place. As a result, warships in the distance have approached rapidly, and only then have someone discovered it by accident.

Cao Tianchong was staring at his moving "money boxes" on board, and suddenly someone shouted: "Boss, boss, there is a boat coming, it's two big ships."

Cao Tianchong stood on the shore, was excited after hearing this, and hurriedly urged: "Western fan is here? Hurry up. Get on the boat quickly. Damn it, walk slowly and let the cannibal fan see it. Chop off your breasts and butt and stew it!

Skip! What are you afraid of when you have such a wide springboard? Why don’t you leave quickly? Are you picking up gold ingots with your ass on your back?"

Cao Tianchong said impatiently, and slapped a Japanese woman wearing a kimono and slapped her big buttocks on the big buttocks of a Japanese woman wearing a kimono and slapped on the boat.

At this moment, the pirate shouted again: "Not only two ships, there are three ships behind, five ships!"

Cao Tianchong was stunned and said in surprise: "Five ships? Didn't they say that they sent two gunships to pick us up? Why did it become five ships?"

Cao Tianchong ran onto the boat "dial" and stood on a high place with a cool breeze in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance: one, two... five, well... it was indeed five, strange, it was really strange..."

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and a wave rose from the sea.

"Fuck! It's the officers and soldiers, they are here!"

Cao Tianchong suddenly realized that he didn't have to count his fingers on his old skills, and immediately shouted as if he was a god: "Go on the boat, pull the sails and anchors, damn it, where is the cannon, and the gunner?"

There was a chaotic chaos on the boat. The woman in wooden kimono had just walked to the center of the pedal when the cannon sounded, and immediately screamed octaves, then twisted her butt and escaped at a speed eight times faster than when she boarded the boat.

The beauty has shaken her plump buttocks, and two wooden shoes are left on the board...

The pirates were in chaos, and the people who sacrificed their lives and refused to give up their wealth hurriedly holding their property and wanted to find a safe place to hide their own things first. Some hurriedly ran to their own positions. They raised their anchors and pulled their sails.

Because no one took the pedals hanging on the side of the ship, most of the dozen women who had just boarded the ship took the opportunity to escape. The remaining few jumped onto the pedals when they saw the sound of cannons like thunder, and fell straight into the sea like a gourd. Fortunately, the place was not deep, and after a scream, they found that the water was just knee-deep, so they immediately got up and fled to the island.

Now that all the belongings and weapons are on the ship, it is impossible to retreat to the island to fight to the decisive battle. Cao Tianchong had to complain that Tiandi ordered the warships to leave the shore as soon as possible, otherwise the three ships would be so crowded here that they would just sit and wait for death.

Han Wu stood on the command ship and also discovered this situation that was absolutely beneficial to the al-A army. Unexpectedly, the strong attack would turn into a raid. They rushed to the front of the pirate ship and the dead corner of the pirate artillery. Moreover, the three pirate ships were close together, and they couldn't even take time to move out of combat adjustment.

Han Wu made a quick decision and immediately shouted: "First the Weifeng, the Weiyuan ship immediately attacked with all its strength. Weisheng and Weichang intercepted their way!" The flag bearer immediately issued a command order forward when he heard this.

Two of the Korean Wudi warships were equipped with new artillery, one of which was his ship, Majesty, and the other was Majesty, which was sailing in front. With the firepower of Majesty and Majesty, three pirate ships remained in place and resisted the unstoppable pirate ships, with no suspense at all.

When the two ships heard the order, they lowered their sails and slowed down while driving sideways. The pirate ships aimed at all the guns at the pirates, and their black muzzles were sprayed one after another, enjoying the pleasure of rape.

Cao Tianpeng was so miserable this time. His three ships were crowded by the sea. The water beside the island was shallow and the waves were slow. The three ships were extremely slow to drive each other. Moreover, the bow direction could not be installed. If the hull was not adjusted, the cannons on the side could not be fired at the Ming army at all.

On the other hand, the Ming army warships flying over took advantage of the rapid movement and adjusted their sails slightly, and immediately adjusted their course at a very fast speed, aiming the side of the ship covered with cannons at the three pirate ships with dense formations, and the rumbling artillery fire continued.

A round of artillery fire hit, and a mast on the outermost pirate ship broke and landed on another ship. The burning fire on the sail spread to the other side. On the other mainmast, the sail was sieve and hung crookedly on the mast, which had lost its function as the sail.

A ship without motor power. Even if one hundred heavy artillery is installed, it can only be left to die. To make matters worse, the ship is at the outermost point. It stops moving, and the two ships inside are blocked, and they can only choose to move forward or backward. In the era of driving ships with wind, it is not easy to reverse. Will the Ming army give the pirates in a hurry to adjust their sails and leave their place?

Han Wu felt very calm when he saw this situation. The main ship was standing in the sea and watching from afar. Two other warships took the opportunity to slant towards the stern of the pirate ship, hoping to sail towards another dead corner of their place. It seemed that today's battle would end the battle at the cost of zero casualties. Han Wu couldn't help but smile.

The powerful and the sound of Weiyuan's naval guns rumbled, and alternately covered the fire, using the three pirate ships as living targets.

Cao Tianchong stood at the bow of the boat and cried without tears: This is really unfavorable. The foreign devils are like Rakshasa and have heavy yin energy. It is indeed unlucky. The day he chose is not good today. Isn’t this concentrating all the people on the boat and waiting for the bombardment?”

When Fernando saw Dulong Island, he also saw the Ming army warships and the pirate ships on the fire. He was a little surprised by the appearance of the Ming army, but he was not panicked.

After simply measuring the combat power of both sides and judging the battlefield situation, Fernando immediately ordered calmly: "Rise the skeleton flag and approach the two warships that were forcing Cao Tianpeng's rear wings! Eliminate them!"

The conch sounded, and two Spanish pirate ships raised the skeleton battle flags with black and red characters. They lowered the main sail, controlled the angle of the spinnaker, and went to the two Ming army warships with murderous intent.

Fernando wanted to take advantage of the Ming army warships being attacked by pirate ships and their formations were dispersed, and to destroy these two warships with superior firepower, so it would be easier to deal with the other Ming ships.

Han Wu had noticed the arrival of two Western warships. He received the information that Western pirates came to greet Cao Tianfeng three days later, so Yang Ling decided to take action immediately and destroy Dulong Island first. Unexpectedly, by chance, he happened to meet the Western warship.

Han Wu, who was also surprised, was a little nervous and a little lucky. Either the information was obviously wrong, or the pirates temporarily changed their plans. Fortunately, we are planning to eliminate the pirates in Cao Tian’s pet team today. If we get late, we may have to seize an empty island.

He was also eager to try to fight with the Western ships. Seeing that the artillery fire continued to attack, the three pirate ships would be wiped out without firing a single shot. Han Wu immediately ordered the flag bearer to send a command: order Wei Feng, the Wei Yuan ship continued to attack with firepower, and at the same time ordered the other two ships to change the left corner to the right corner, slide to the left wing of the Western warship to form an attack formation, and his ship also met.

His main battleship was the No. 2 Fu Ship, which was much larger than the Western warships that arrived, and its maneuverability was worse. However, with the other two ships restraining the enemy ship on the other side, the maneuverability of the enemy ship was difficult to exert. Han Wu stood on the podium eagerly, and the gunner stood nervously in the gun position, constantly changing the position of the black hole muzzle with the angle of the hull movement.

This Western artillery ground gun mount is very reasonable and greatly improves the combat capability of the artillery. In addition to the dozen original thunderbolt cannons that were unable to produce enough artillery due to short time, the rest of the ferron cannons used this kind of gun mount that can move forward and retreat freely. The relatively short barrel of the ferron cannon is also suitable for making full use of the ground gun on the side of the ship.

The gunners carried the sub-guns and shells, and the sailors pulled the sail ropes tightly and constantly adjusted the angle and height of the sail. The commanders of the warships on both sides were staring at the enemy ships, judging the speed and angle of the opponent's movement, and giving orders one after another.

For Han Wu, this was his first real battle, so although he was very calm on the surface, he was actually very nervous. Fernando was an old pirate who had been fighting for many years, and his combat experience was not comparable to Han Wu's. The huge hull of No. 2 Fu Ship was immediately discovered by Fernando.

Fernando was overjoyed. The one who fought against Bai Xiaocao and the Penghu Inspection Office warships in the Penghu area was a warship under his command. From that battle, he had figured out the power, range and rate of fire of the Ming army artillery.

But he was not sure whether the main warships of the Ming army used such clumsy artillery. After all, with such a wide territory in the Ming Dynasty and such a long coastline, the number of naval troops needed to support coastal defense was extremely large, and it was extremely costly to replace the armaments uniformly.

Therefore, even if the Ming army has more advanced artillery, it is possible that it is not used to equip all naval divisions. He needs to first find out the background of the Ming army. If the Ming army used those clumsy artillery, he would be able to use dense artillery fire to completely destroy the Ming army command warship.

Under his instruction, another warship rushed towards the two approaching Ming warships, while Fernando took advantage of the small ship and changed the hull to enter the attack position first. The distance between the two sides was approaching the best range of the artillery. Logically speaking, the clumsy artillery of the Ming army was still a little worse than attacking.

Fernando smiled sly and calmly ordered: "Switch the rudder..." The ship began to turn heads at 90 degrees and aimed the muzzle densely spread on the side at the other side.

"Fire!" Fernando ordered again. "Boom, boom, boom!" The cannons roared, and the ship's side was shaken. The sea surface suddenly filled with smoke. It was a flowering bullet. It seemed that Fernando knew this distance. Solid shells could not cause fatal damage to the Ming army warships. The purpose was to kill a large number of sailors and destroy the Ming army's canvas.

However, for this distance, the first round of launches usually have calibration gun positions, and the nature of demonstration and intimidation is limited.

A large number of shells fell into the sea water, arousing water columns. The Ming army soldiers were obviously nervous and panicked in the sea battlefield. This was the result of Yang Ling's intention to let them participate in the Japanese pirates at sea. Otherwise, they would encounter an opponent with such rich combat experience in the first battle. Even if the Ming army had better firepower and warships than the other party, they would probably have defeated the battle in a daze.

Fortunately, the Fujian Navy had seen Yangling's powerful "killing thousands of people". In that massacre, most of the lands were killed by naval officers and soldiers. In addition, Han Wu was rigorous in his military administration after being the admiral of the Navy. The soldiers were afraid of military discipline, so they were panicked and were still nervously prepared according to the orders.
To be continued...
