Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 549
There was not much wind on the sea, and the sun was rising. All six ships weighed anchor, but the sails were only half raised, basically stopping in the sea, while the two Guangzhou ships sailed towards Incheon with full sails.

"The fastest runner on the sea is the Canton Ship. The pirates can't catch up with them. If they meet them, they will lead them here."

Tang Shan said that Wang Tong did not know more about the sea battle than Tang Shan, the former pirate leader, and only asked them to explain the actions step by step.

"This ship is no longer here, why is it going towards the sea!"

"Returning to my lord, first park the boat according to the direction of the wind, wait for the thieves' boat to be drawn over, and raise the sails along the wind direction, which is actually faster than the thieves!"

***********
Setting up a trap for people to cheat, it was quite exciting to talk about afterwards, but it was very boring at the time. Wang Tong and the others were able to concentrate on the boat at first, but then they became bored.

Because he was going to battle today, Wang Tong was wearing armor, and the humidity was too heavy at sea. The sun was high at noon, and his whole body was sticky and uncomfortable, but he couldn't take it off.

At lunch time, everyone sat on the deck, with bread, dried meat and pickled vegetables, and boiled water for a meal. Sun Xin slept late last night, and now he is in good spirits. He put down the small boat from the big ship and went to inspect the other ships. After a while, he came back, got his lunch, and sat beside Wang Tong to eat.

"My lord, the spirits of the soldiers preparing for battle on the ships everywhere are all good, and I have also ordered the sailors and crew members to keep an eye on these aliens, so as not to make any mistakes!"

They are not of my race, and they are temporarily requisitioning warships. They are so far away from Tianjin Wei, so we must be careful everywhere, and we must not lose our vigilance just because of the other party's respect.

Wang Tong took a sip of water, handed the leather water bag to Sun Xin, and asked:
"Have you checked everything about the flag armor?"

"Returning to the adults, I read them all, and there is nothing wrong!"

Incheon is the port of Koryo, and Koryo is now a vassal state of Daming. The king of Koryo is equivalent to the king of the county in Daming. There are some things that cannot be done too blatantly in the eradication of pirates.

Therefore, Wang Tong had ordered in advance that all the armor and flags that showed the identity of the Ming army should not be used, so as not to cause disputes afterwards and let those people in the court catch them.

"How many brothers do you have in your family? I only know that you have an elder brother who inherits your father's position in a hundred households."

When the topic changed, Wang Tong asked this question. Sun Xin swallowed the food in his mouth and said:
"Returning to the adults, there are five brothers in total."

"Now people are employed everywhere here. If your brother wants to come over, call him over. It's harder than staying in the guard at home..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a person who had been hanging on the mast watching shouted:

"The ship is back, the ship is back!!"

Wang Wang was Wang Tong's subordinate, but some sailors on the deck could understand Chinese, so he translated the words and shouted.

Everyone on the deck immediately became busy. Wang Tong leaned over the side of the ship and looked over. He could see the Guangzhou boat coming towards this side. He didn't see clearly whether there was a ship following behind him, but he saw the red flag on the bow and was desperately trying to escape. The dancing, the color is very conspicuous, this semaphore shows that it has attracted pirates.

There was a loud order behind him, and the sailors yelled to use the wooden winch to raise the sails. This side happened to be in the direction of the wind, and the ship moved forward.

Looking back, Wang Tong saw that the sails on the boat were all up and full, and he could feel that the speed of the boat was slowly increasing, as were the boats behind.

*************
If the return route of the two Guangzhou ships used as bait is regarded as a straight line, the ambush ship is inserted in an obliquely downward direction.

The two sides got closer and closer, with a wide view of the sea, and the Guangzhou ship didn't turn around, just kept moving forward, and the pirate ship chasing behind him saw these large Franji ships.

No one would think that the Cantonese ship was used as a bait, and the Franji ship was ambushing. At first, the pirates on the pirate ship thought it was just a chance encounter. For them.

"The pirates are also Guangzhou Ships!"

Wang Tong saw from the side of the ship that the pirates who were chasing were also three Guangzhou ships, but the regulations were smaller than those of Liang Daocheng and the others. Tang Shan explained:
"Fuchuan transports freighters, but Guangzhou Ship runs fast. There are many times when pirates need to chase, and they mainly use this ship."

Wang Tong said with a smile:

"If it was normal, they would have caught up with our two ships, but they docked last night to unload all the supplies. Now that the ship has big sails, it will naturally run faster!"

Wang Tong's galleons were facing the wind, while the pirates' ships were at an oblique angle, unable to take full advantage of the wind, and naturally couldn't get up to speed in a hurry, so they hurriedly adjusted their sails.

Hearing a sailor shouting loudly behind him, Tang Shan dipped his finger in saliva and lifted it up. After being blown by the sea breeze, he tested the sailing speed and said:
"My lord, we will catch up in half an hour!"

Naturally, the pursuit at sea cannot be compared with the fast horse pursuit on land, and it can only be patient and wait slowly.

************
"Master, go to the cabin to take shelter temporarily, and the battle is about to begin."

Abagon trotted over to plead, he looked outside while talking, and the ship running in the front was about to pass by the pirate ship.

Wang Tong set up a pergola and looked ahead, then said:
"Go down and hide, and the officer will watch from above."

Commands were sounded everywhere on the ship, and many sailors and crew members who were busy on the deck just now ran down the deck. A Bagong's face turned pale, and he ignored the plea, and followed directly. Wang Tong and several personal guards around him held Large shields, they were wearing plate armor and holding large shields in their hands, so they were not worried.

Wang Tong glanced around just now, and there seemed to be no artillery on the pirate's ship, otherwise he would not have been so overbearing. The front ship of Wang Tong's fleet had already moved forward with the last ship of the pirates.

Tang Shan looked at the opposite side for a while, and then looked at his own boat. Wang Tong gave him an errand, which was to explain in detail every action during the naval battle.

Someone on the boat yelled again. Although he spoke French, he might have seen a few sailors running to the winch and lowering the sails like crazy. He narrowed his eyes and said:
"My lord, lower the sails and slow down, keep the two ships parallel, this foreign ship is about to fire!"

And the Canton Ship on the opposite side also moved, the sail changed direction, and the ship actually moved towards this side. The distance between the two ships was less than two hundred steps. Wang Tong could clearly see the appearance of the pirates on the opposite ship from behind the shield, Tang Shan said again :

"My lord, the pirates are going to fight. The small boat is fighting against the big boat. They just rely on jumping up to help me fight, but this..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Tong heard some small noises on the side of the ship, "The gun window opened..." Tang Shan said quickly, but no one could hear what he said, and the whole ship swayed violently.

The sailors on the boat were experienced, and they grabbed the things around them to fix them in time, but Wang Tong and the others were caught off guard, staggered to one side, and sat directly on the ground.

The cannon on one side of the ship fired, and the gunpowder smoke was quickly left behind while the ship was sailing. Wang Tong and others stood up and looked again, but saw the pirate ship on the opposite side being thrown away. Wang Tong was stunned before he realized it. , it wasn't that the ship was thrown away, but that the ship I was on continued to move forward, but the pirate ship that was bombarded had already stopped, lying on the side of the ship and looking over, the mast of the pirate ship was broken, and the hull was also opened. Made a few cuts.

"My lord, our ship is at full sail again, and it will take time to reload the shells, so let's give up this space to the ships behind to continue bombarding!!"

Some sailors ran out of the cabin to turn the winch to raise the sails. At such a short distance and along the wind direction, the soft sails of the Galen ship can make full use of the wind, while the hard sails of the Cantonese ship are not so good.

The first ship and the second ship moved forward quickly. The two Canton boats in front saw that they had been overtaken by others, and saw their companions end. He approached Wang Tong's ship directly, and could see the pirates on the pirate ship standing on the deck with their weapons, leaning against the side of the ship.

"General, the artillery here will have to wait for a while before it can be installed!"

A blunt Chinese voice sounded behind Wang Tong. This name must be someone on the boat. Wang Tong glanced at Tang Shan, Tang Shan glanced twice, and said hastily:

"The pirates are [-]% sure they will come up."

Wang Tong nodded and said:
"Tune up the musketeers to fight, and the personal soldiers will fight hand-to-hand with the official!!"

Hearing Wang Tong's order, one of the soldiers dropped his shield and ran towards the hatch door with his waist down. Hearing Wang Tong's order, the sailor who came to ask turned around and gave a signal.

The ship that Wang Tong was on also changed its rudder, adjusted its sails, and started to climb up. At this moment, a loud bang and bang bang could be heard behind it, as well as dying screams, and another pirate ship was knocked down.

The hatch opened wide, and soldiers with guns came out in a file. Sun Xin shouted:

"In the direction of the enemy ship, two steps away from the ship's side, four rows, half squatting, standby!!"

Seeing the soldiers lining up, Tang Shan suddenly said:
"My lord, take a few steps back, the pirate is about to throw the iron hook to climb the ship."

This Galen ship is much higher than the Guangzhou ship's side. The two ships approached, and the artillery could no longer fire. Wang Tong could hear the loud howling and whirring of the pirates below. Throwing it up, it tightly clasped the edge of the ship's side.

When they got close enough, Wang Tong slashed down with his hand, and Sun Xin shouted:
"Fire!!"

The pirates who thought they could jump onto the boat had just grabbed the rope when they suddenly saw dozens of iron bars protruding from the side of the boat above their heads and then hanging down.

Sparks shot out, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and within a distance of less than twenty steps, the hit rate of the firecrackers was terribly high. There were screams below, but some people shouted:

"Climb up, they don't have time to pretend..."

While shouting, the second row of firecrackers on the side of the ship poked out again, lowered the muzzles and fired in unison, screaming again, and the third row followed...
