I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 960 He stopped!

The loss of strength is still secondary, and the loss of morale caused by losing face is the key to their survival.

It's not that the other leaders don't understand this truth.

Now that Liu Yin had spoken, they couldn't come up with a better idea for a while, so they could only bite the bullet, gritted their teeth, and waited for a miracle to appear.

However, just when everyone was at a loss and was almost on the verge of collapse.

Suddenly, a leader pointed to the ship on the water with an unbelievable tone and said,

"Look, it... it stopped."

Liu Yin's expression was shocked, he stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, and then shouted excitedly,
"The sky will never die, I'll wait, the wind stops, they can't move."

"Really, the wind has really stopped, thank God, thank our ancestors..."

For a moment, the few people on the Water Pirates flagship seemed to have won a 500 million lottery, and they were so happy that they almost ran naked.

"Quickly, send me an order to surround all the boats that can still move, and swallow their big boats alive.

What kind of shit flagship, I don't want it anymore, let me keep him no matter what I say today. "

The other leaders were also overjoyed. Without any hesitation, they immediately mobilized their subordinates and rushed towards the ship in the encirclement with all their might.

The leaders of the pirates are not the only ones who think that the opportunity has come and they can finally take revenge, and those who think that the ship is doomed this time.

Hiding on a turret in the water village and admiring the scuffle on the water, Zhu Zhanji and Tang Wanqing were also very nervous.

"Why did they suddenly stop, this is terrible.

If they were surrounded, with so many water thieves, they might not be able to resist it! "

Although Zhu Zhanji also frowned, he was still very confident in Chen Hong and others.

He squeezed Tang Wanqing's little hand, and comforted her,
"Don't be afraid, General Chen and the others must have a solution. Besides, they still have a trump card that they haven't used yet.

It's too simple for this gang of mobs to occupy our ship just like this. "

Although Zhu Zhanji explained to her, Tang Wanqing still couldn't stop worrying in her heart.

In his opinion, even if one's own ship is big enough, strong enough, and the crew is well-trained and well-equipped.

But it can't stand the fact that there are so many families.

It is not unreasonable to say that a vicious tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves.

Although the water pirates suffered heavy losses before, almost thousands of people fell into the water, but there are still three or four thousand of them who can still fight, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

But is this really the case?

On the ship at this time, Chen Hong and Jiang Hao couldn't help showing a cruel smile at the corners of their mouths as they watched the small boat approaching the ship.

"My lord, we can't wait any longer. If they complete the encirclement, our firepower is limited, so we can't guarantee that we will defeat them all."

Looking at some small boats on the water that are specially used for setting fire, the straw and kerosene in the bow of the boat have been ignited.

An adjutant couldn't help but said worriedly.

But Chen Hong was still extremely calm.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, it's safe to fight when you get close.

We have limited ammunition here, so we can't just waste it! "

"But my lord, there are too many of them. Even if we use all our firepower, we may not be able to sink many ships!"

Indeed, the adjutant's idea was not wrong.

After all, the cannons are attached to the ship, and the stability is not as good as that on the ground. In addition, the number of cannons on the ship is limited, and only the left and right sides have muzzles.

Now that the steering is not very convenient, it is almost impossible to wipe out the ships besieged from four directions.

Jiang Hao, who hadn't said much before, seemed to understand what Chen Hong meant.

He smiled and said to the adjutant,
"Don't worry, your lord's decision is right.

Based on what I know about these water pirates, they can fight with the wind. If they really encounter a hard nut to crack, it is almost impossible to make them work hard.

Will you bet me that if the cannon fired, even if it only made a few splashes on the water, they would all be scared and run away.

Regardless of how many of them there are, they really dared to stand up to the gunfire and attack with a single slap. "

The adjutant's understanding was correct, but the judgment of Chen Hong and others was also reasonable.

Water pirates are water pirates after all, and petty thieves like bandits who block roads and take over mountains as kings are actually not that big.

In the impression of the adjutant, the enemies on the water are those ferocious pirates who are not afraid of death and do whatever they can to win.

Subconsciously, they thought that they would fight endlessly with their own side until the last one fell.

If they really have such courage, then they are indeed in danger today.

However, the adjutants don't know how much courage the water pirates really have, and how many of them dare to fight them desperately, but Jiang Hao knows them clearly.

There is a very obvious difference between pirates and water pirates.

On the vast sea, the boat is their home and their land. Leaving the boat means leaving home and the mainland. Falling into the water is almost a certain death.

Therefore, once the pirates fight the enemy, especially when their own ship is destroyed and unable to move, they are basically in an endless situation, because if they don't, they can't survive at all.

But the water pirates are different. The river is wide, and it ends up being several kilometers or more than ten kilometers.

If the water quality is slightly better, you can swim a quarter of an hour and you can go ashore, and you won't die if you fall into the water.

Fundamentally, they are less bloody than pirates to fight to the end.

In addition, when the water robbers were originally ordinary people, the crimes they committed were not very serious. Even if the court caught them, except for the bandit leader, there was still a very high probability that everyone else would survive.

This made them even more unwilling to fight desperately with the people of the court.

After the last time, when the fleet wiped out a water village with nearly a thousand people with almost zero casualties, Chen Hong understood the fundamental difference between water pirates and pirates in the water village.

Without the courage to fight to the end, no matter how many people there are, he doesn't pay attention to them.

As time went by, the water surface was surrounded by black pirate ships like an iron bucket.

The soldiers on the ship could even smell the fireworks from the straw on the opponent's fire ship.

Having learned the lesson from the beginning, the gang of water thieves were not in a hurry to launch an attack immediately.

Instead, they approached slowly, making sure that the ship really couldn't move, and then they roared excitedly.

"Brothers, this big tortoise really can't move anymore, come on, the first one to rush up, will be rewarded with a thousand gold, a pair of big girls with yellow flowers!"

"Come on, kill these officials and let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"
