Chapter 438: Encounter with a naval battle

Knowing that the news here at the city gate could no longer be hidden, Wang Xiaoming had no idea of continuing to stay, and quickly broke away from the city gate and tracked the past in the direction where everyone in the Ye family left.

Although the Ye family left relatively early, Wang Xiaoming's speed was faster than the speed of the carriage, so it was only a quarter of an hour later that Wang Xiaoming chased after the carriage.

Everything went well, and the carriage was safe and sound.

By daybreak, the carriage had arrived at a wharf, from where the wagon was discarded and put on a large boat, and after three days of waterway, they went ashore to change the carriage, and after another day's journey, they finally arrived at a sea port, where a large sea ship was already waiting for them.

This is the arrangement made by Wang Xiaoming, as long as there is no accident, it is enough for everyone in the Ye family to escape.

After getting on the ship, not only Wang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, but even everyone in the Ye family also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The destination of the sea ship is Yinyue Island, Yinyue Island is Wang Xiaoming's territory, and only when they arrive at Yinyue Island can the Ye family be considered truly safe.

After settling down on the ship, everyone in the Ye family seemed very relaxed.

Ye Zhiyuan found Wang Xiaoming and wanted to give a gift to express his gratitude, but was stopped by Wang Xiaoming, after all, Ye Zhiyuan is Ye Pingxuan's father, and he is also Wang Xiaoming's elder, Wang Xiaoming is embarrassed to let the other party give him a gift.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoming insisted, Ye Zhiyuan gave up and did not give any more gifts, but then said that the arrangements along the way were very thoughtful, and Wang Xiaoming should have spent a lot of effort on this.

This is really not wrong, in fact, it is not difficult to save people, but the difficult place is how to escape the pursuit of the imperial court, which can also be seen from the arrangements made by Wang Xiaoming.

Ye Zhiyuan is not a fool, so he naturally knows how difficult it is.

It's just that in fact, the difficulties are not as many as Ye Zhiyuan thought.

After all, Wang Xiaoming has money and ability, and he can still do many things that he can't do.

Ye Zhiyuan's condition is not very good. After the two talked, Ye Zhiyuan showed that he was tired, and Wang Xiaoming asked Ye Zhiyuan to go back and rest.

Wang Xiaoming wanted to go to Ye Pingxuan but found that Ye Pingxuan was busy taking care of his family, so in desperation, he didn't bother Ye Pingxuan.

Although it is a sea vessel, most of it is loaded with cargo, and the rest of the space can be used for people, so the space is relatively crowded.

Except for Wang Xiaoming, who has an independent small space, the Ye family can only be distinguished by men and women, living in two large warehouses.

The Ye family also knew that they were on the way to escape. Naturally, I didn't dare to say anything.

In the next few days, Ye Pingxuan was with his family, occasionally met Wang Xiaoming, and there were many people around the two, in front of the Ye family, Wang Xiaoming was not too presumptuous, the two of them spoke at most, which made Wang Xiaoming feel very painful.

In the future, there will be a chance to "eat" her, so let her go now. Wang Xiaoming can only comfort himself like this.

The sea ship sailed for more than half a month. According to the captain's report, it is not far from the location of Silvermoon Island, and it will take three days at most to reach Silvermoon Island. Knowing the news, everyone on board smiled happily.

Life at sea is very inconvenient, and it is definitely a pleasure to be able to return to land again.

But. When you get to this area, the danger level begins to increase.

Because when you arrive in this sea area, you have already entered the range of pirates.

Many of the crew members were already quietly praying. Don't run into pirates.

It is really a good and not a bad spirit, and on the second day after entering this sea area, a group of sea ships appeared in front of the sea, a total of more than 20 sea ships, and quickly drove towards the sea ship where Wang Xiaoming was.

Wang Xiaoming's sea ship was full of goods and personnel, so the speed was slow, while the other party's ship should have no cargo and was extremely fast.

With the speed of both sides and the direction of progress, it won't be long before the two sides meet.

If it's just an encounter, it's nothing, but the bad thing is that the other party is likely to be a pirate.

Wang Xiaoming is also a pirate here, and he still knows a lot about pirates, and when he looks at the formation and actions of the other party, he can almost judge that the other party is a pirate.

Wang Xiaoming They are on a merchant ship, they don't have any combat effectiveness, and when they encounter pirates, they really don't have the ability to fight back, the people on the ship are panicked, Wang Xiaoming squinted, but he didn't care too much.

In a short time, more than 20 sea ships of the other side surrounded them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Wang Xiaoming had already seen that many of the sea ships surrounding him had their muzzles exposed, although they were all some of the oldest artillery, but it was enough to attack at close range.

We can't let these pirate ships get any closer, and it's too dangerous to keep getting closer.

If there were no artillery, Wang Xiaoming would casually let them get close, but it would be too stupid to let the other party come close when the other party had artillery.

But now it's not easy to escape.

The steering of the sailboat is a troublesome matter, and the speed of the opponent is faster than your own ship, and if you want to escape, you can't escape.

If you can't escape, then fight.

Wang Xiaoming returned to the cabin once, took out all the shells in the storage space, and took out a steel cannon made by himself.

After taking out these things, Wang Xiaoming called down a group of sailors and asked them to carry all the guns and shells to the deck.

Wang Xiaoming personally installed the artillery, and in a short time, this small steel cannon was installed.

When the installation of this cannon was completed, everyone looked at this unusual cannon and felt a little novel.

However, their novelty was soon replaced by surprise.

Because looking at Wang Xiaoming's appearance, it was obvious that he was preparing to use this artillery to fight against the group of pirates opposite.

A cannon against a bunch of pirates? And a bunch of pirates with artillery?

Just think about it, and everyone feels like they're going crazy.

"My lord, this cannon can't be fired, we only have one cannon, where is the opponent of those pirates, and the pirates are just asking for money, we only need to take out some money, and we should be able to pass the level." Why bother fighting the pirates, but if you shoot out, it will ruin our lives, and when the pirates come to the door, we will all have a dead end. ”

Several sailors on the ship immediately pleaded bitterly when they saw that Wang Xiaoming was about to open fire to attack those pirates.

Wang Xiaoming glanced at them lightly, and said coldly: "I can't do this kind of thing by pinning my life on the mercy of pirates, and it's ......."

Wang Xiaoming spoke. But the cannon was fired suddenly, and with a loud bang, a shell was fired, and the trajectory of a shell loomed in front of the muzzle.

Everyone on the ship was dumbfounded, and no one thought that Wang Xiaoming would open the cannon when he said it.

"It's over, it's all over, we're all dead. "Quite a few sailors are already desperate.

At this moment, there was another bang, and a pirate ship on the opposite side exploded. A huge gap had been blown out of the exploding pirate ship, and the gap was still below sea level, and the sea water had already rushed down the gap into the pirate ship.

Although there is only one gap, but in their case. Their pirate ship is finished.

The power of this cannon stunned all the personnel on both sides.

On Wang Xiaoming's ship, the sailors also grew their mouths in surprise, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Whether this luck is good or not is too against the sky.

Luck?

There is nothing wrong with that, in the eyes of all. This cannon was able to achieve this kind of result not because the artillery hit well, but because it was too lucky, and it happened to hit one of the opponent's sea ships. And it happened to be below sea level, which is why it caused such an effect.

But no matter how lucky you are, you will never hit the other party one after another, and the other pirates are outnumbered and have many artillery, so how can this be the opponent of the pirates.

Thinking of this, the sailors had already hated Wang Xiaoming, but they were resentful in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Because they have all seen Wang Xiaoming's abilities and methods, if they dare to make trouble here, I am afraid that they will not die in the hands of pirates, but in the hands of Wang Xiaoming.

Just when many sailors were still in a trance, there was another bang, and Wang Xiaoming fired again.

The many sailors were dumbfounded again, and then involuntarily looked in the direction of the artillery fire.

There was another loud bang, and in the pirate fleet opposite, another pirate ship was hit, and it was the same place, a big hole was blown out in the hull of the pirate ship, and the position of the big hole was still below the water surface, and the sea ship poured into the cabin, and the pirate ship was already slowly sinking.

Many of the sailors on board the ship opened their mouths wide in surprise, and their faces were full of incredulity.

It's amazing, they've never seen such accurate artillery bombardment, is this really a cannon? Even the muskets aren't so accurate.

Or was it all luck in both shellings?

But if you say that you are lucky, this luck is too against the sky, right?

Unbelievable, unbelievable.

The sailors didn't dare to speak, they didn't believe that Wang Xiaoming's shelling would be so accurate, but the facts were in front of them, so they had nothing to say.

Two of the pirate ships were hit, and the rest of the pirate ships were still speeding up.

Wang Xiaoming turned his head and saw that all the sailors on the deck were looking at him stupidly, and suddenly asked with a cold face: "Are they all stupid? Or are you going to wait to eat the cannonballs and sink into the sea?

Wang Xiaoming is not afraid of these pirates, but he doesn't want to wait stupidly to be attacked by pirates.

You must know that there are many more pirates than him, and the number of artillery is too much, avoiding the pirate ship and using the long-range advantage of his own artillery, Wang Xiaoming is sure that he can defeat the opponent, but once he is approached by the opponent's pirate ship, then his sea ship will also be dangerous.

Even if the pirates' artillery bombardment was incompetent, after getting closer, a group of artillery came over, which was enough to sink Wang Xiaoming's ship.

Once the ship is sunk, Wang Xiaoming can escape by himself, and he can also take Ye Pingxuan with him, but the rest of the people on the ship can only suffer helplessly.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming must make the ships move and distance himself from the pirates.

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's low roar, the sailors suddenly woke up, and they no longer dared to stay where they were, and they got busy one by one, taking the helm and pulling the sails.

Wang Xiaoming's sea ship began to turn quickly, accelerating to avoid the other party's sea ship.

In this process, Wang Xiaoming's shelling has never stopped, and every time he fires a cannonball, Wang Xiaoming's shells must hit a sea ship, and the accuracy of his artillery can be said to be miraculous.

It is not an exaggeration to say that his ability to fire cannons on fast-moving sea ships, and to hit sea ships that are approaching quickly in the distance, is miraculous.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this ability to fire guns, but it is just necessary to calculate the relevant data and fire the guns at the most appropriate time.

It seems to be a very simple process, but in fact, it is very, very complicated, because there is so much data that needs to be calculated, and those data still have to be calculated in a short instant, and at the same time, the body has to complete the adjustment of the artillery before attacking.

It is impossible for ordinary people to do this.

Wang Xiaoming was able to accomplish this because he used the power of the light brain in his brain.

This is the embodiment of the power of the light brain.

A light brain, in fact, is not enough, but also a high-quality artillery.

And it just so happens that the artillery in Wang Xiaoming's hand is a high-quality artillery.

This cannon is a small cannon made by Wang Xiaoming using the best steel at present, and the characteristic of the cannon is that the barrel is longer than that of ordinary artillery, so that when the shell is fired, the initial velocity is faster and the armor-piercing ability will be stronger.

And the attack trajectory of the cannon is also very distinctive, the attack trajectory of the cannon is a straight line, as if it were a giant musket, and it hits a straight line attack.

This kind of straight line attack, once mastered, will be more accurate than the curved attack of ordinary artillery.

Wang Xiaoming was able to accurately hit the opponent's sea ship on a bumpy sea boat, thanks to this small cannon.

The power of small cannons is naturally not as powerful as large cannons, and it is not good for dealing with modern metal warships, but it is more than enough to deal with the wooden ships used by pirates, and it is definitely an artifact-level weapon.

The distance between the two sides is still getting closer, after all, Wang Xiaoming's ship is slower than the other party's ship, as the distance closes, the opponent's artillery also fires, but with the current distance, it is not easy to hit Wang Xiaoming's ship.

Huge waves exploded around Wang Xiaoming, and the latest wave exploded five meters away from the sea boat, almost hitting the sea boat.

The sailors on the ships were extremely nervous and busy maneuvering the boats, and that was the only thing they could do now.

This hastily encountered naval battle is still undecided. (To be continued......)
