Chapter 712

Two Liang army gun ships were crossing the port exit, and two rounds of artillery smashed the pirates' turrets built.

At this time, it was already dawn, and Huang Fei and Gu Sanmazi stood on the boat building, using a thousand-mile mirror to see clearly the situation in the harbor.

Zu Kefa and others obviously had no experience in commanding the naval army, nor had they experienced naval battles, nor did they think they would be attacked by the Liang army's naval army.

Hundreds of sailboats were densely moored in the bay, and a large number of houses were built on the harbor for convenience, just within the bombardment range of Liang's gunships.

Huang Fei said: "First bomb the ships in the port, then bomb the houses on the shore."

"Fire the cannon! Bomb me! Pay attention to the pirates' fire ship!" Gu Sanmazi shouted loudly.

The two gunships of Liang's army not only had many artillery ships, but also had a large hull. They were not afraid of anything except fire attacks.

At this time, Liang Jun fired fire in turn, and the cannon body suddenly retreated, and the shells roared out and smashed the ships anchored in the harbor.

For a moment, hundreds of shells roared and hit the sea ship. The wood chips suddenly splashed and screamed in pain.

Water columns emerged in the bay. The sailors and soldiers on the shore rushed out of the shack and rushed to the dock. The pirates were in a panic and boarded the Shanghai ship, hurriedly raising the anchor and lifting the sail.

Liang's army fired a volley, and more than 60 artillery shells roared, and the pirates' ships were moored at the edge of the dock. The artillery shells were smashed, carrying countless wood chips and swept across the deck of the sea ships. Some artillery shells even penetrated several sea ships in a row before falling into the water.

The pirates were panic and manipulating the ships. Many sea boats collided with each other, and the scene was in chaos.

Seeing this, Zu Kefa jumped anxiously, "Bastard, drive the boat out, don't be smashed in place!"

The harbor was in chaos, and Zukefa's voice was drowned by the roar of cannons and screams, but the pirates still rushed out of the port on ships.

At this time, more than a dozen ships rushed towards Liang's gunboats. Gu Sanmazi snorted coldly, "Battle the ones in front, release the god-fire flying crows and block the waterway."

The flames of the Liang army sprayed in turn, and the rumbling sound of the cannons were earth-shaking. Countless iron bombs of more than ten kilograms fell like meteorites. The leading pirate sailboat was smashed almost instantly.

The dense shells were like hail down, and the pirates had never encountered such a violent shelling. Unexpectedly, two Liang Army gunships poured out in one round of artillery, with more than 60 shells, which was even more powerful than the firepower of the entire pirate fleet.

In the face of such dense artillery fire, the sailboats in front were instantly smashed and sunk, and suffered a catastrophe.

At this time, several pirates took a small boat full of firewood and tinder oil to avoid the shelling and rowed towards the Liang army's gunboat.

"A swarm of bees! Divine Fire Flying Crow!" The officer on the deck shouted loudly.

The soldiers on the gunboat deck quickly carried various rockets to the side of the ship and ignited the rockets.

For a moment, a swarm of bees carrying their shoulders rushed out, roaring and instantly shooting out thirty-six rockets, covering and shooting into a sea area.

The rocket roared and dragged its tail toward a small boat. One of the thirty-six rockets landed on the boat, instantly igniting firewood, allowing the pirates who were operating the fireboat to jump into the sea early.

At this time, the flying crows fired by the Liang army dragged their long tail flames, making a shrill whistling sound, rushing towards the pirate sailing ship that rushed out.

This kind of firearm is similar to a short-range missile. It was widely used by the Qi family army during the Anti-Japanese War. It looks like a crow, made of thin bamboo, filled with gunpowder, and two "fires" on both sides of the crow's body. The thrust of the "fire" during combat can shoot the flying crows out.

There is also a kind of "fire dragon coming out of water", which is the earliest second-stage rocket in the world. It can even shoot two or three miles away, and can be called a weapon for water battles to burn ships.

The flying crows shot the sailboats of the pirates immediately ignited a raging fire.

The rushing ships were smashed by artillery and ignited by rockets, and they were paralyzed on the waterway, blocking the ships behind them.

In this era, they were all wooden ships, and the sails were particularly flammable. Liang Jun kept firing and fired rockets. The ships in the harbor ignited one after another.

At this time, the remaining sea boats quickly scattered to prevent the fire from being ignited.

The pirates looked desperately at the fire in the harbor, and the small boats looked at the continuous gunships that were gushing fire. Fifty or sixty shells pouring out at the same time, and the pirates continued to destroy ships and people died.

For a moment, burning debris were everywhere on the sea, floating residual limbs and broken bodies.

After all, there are many pirates, especially small boats, which are difficult to aim at. Finally, a pirate fireboat rushed over.

Seeing this, Liang Jun's gunboat quickly rushed to cover and shoot. The gunboat raised the sails and quickly left the battlefield.

~~~~~~~

In the early morning, a red sun rose from the sea, reflecting the harbor of Changshan Island into a dazzling red color.

In the harbor, the raging fire has been extinguished, but the harbor is in a mess.

At this time, the bay was filled with ships stranded in panic, as well as the wreckage of sailboats, floating wooden boards and corpses, which were constantly washed ashore by the waves.

Zu Kefa, Fang Dayou and Sun Zhixie looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, feeling desolate.

"The gunboats of Liang Kingdom are really terrifying. The cannons on a ship are as close to dozens of our ships. A volley shot will splash wood chips, and the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed!" Sun Zhixie was extremely frustrated, but then said: "Fortunately, they only have two ships and have not many people. They cannot land on the island, otherwise we would have been defeated and forced to jump into the sea."

Fang Dayou was also worried, "Yes! Fortunately, when we retreated, we brought all the ships along the coast of Shandong. Otherwise, we would definitely be defeated if we asked them to transport troops last night and board Shanghai Island."

Zu Kefa's face was gloomy. He originally wanted to run Changshan Island and plunder Shandong to accumulate strength. Perhaps one day, he could become a Zheng Zhilong-like existence.

But he didn't expect that Liang Jun would send only two gunboats, which would shatter his dream.

At this time, everyone was standing on the beach, staring at the messy battlefield, and sighing in their hearts.

Suddenly, an alarm bell rang, and the soldiers shouted in horror on the watchtower behind him, "Oh no, Liang Jun's gunboat is coming again!"

Zu Kefa and others looked up and saw that two Liang army warships appeared outside the harbor on the sea in the distance.

This shocked everyone, and a large number of sailors and soldiers ran to the island in horror.

Soon, Liang's gunboats arrived at the front of the bay, raised their guns on the side and roared again.

The shells hit the beach and the front of the hillside, splashing out the soil, and the houses built by the pirates were smashed into pieces by the shells.

Zu Kefa and others hid behind a large stone, and only heard a few loud noises. The wooden building on the two floors behind them collapsed under the shelling.

"My mansion!" Zu Kefa's eyes were red, his heart was bleeding, but he had no means of counterattack.

At this time, the two gunboats rushed wildly, cruising near the island for a while before leaving.

Zu Kefa stood up shaking the dust on his body, looking at the camp after the shelling with a pale face.

After several rounds of bombardment of Liang's gunboats, the pirates' camp was beyond recognition, and the houses that were finally built were smashed one after another.

Looking at the mess all over the ground, the pirates opened up, the collapsed shack saved people, and sat in front of the blood-filled corpse and cried loudly. Zu Kefa and others were silent.

For a moment, the pirates didn't say anything. Fang Dayou said for a while: "Zujun Gate, Changshan Island can't stay, please turn in!"

Sun Zhixie said worriedly: "The court will not allow us to go to Liaodong, nor will we return to Hebei. Now that Shandong cannot stay, where can we move forward?"

Zu Kefa said with a gloomy face: "Pi Dao, go to North Korea!"

The Liang army's gunboat is so sharp that Zu Kefa dared not stay on Changshan Island. Moreover, the Liang army's gunboat knows his location and must have visited him frequently.

No one can stand this, and he is uneasy.
