"Boom-" with a loud bang.

A warship with a full load displacement of more than 1,800 tons was hit by the 300-mm main gun shell of the all-steel battleship Zhenhai of the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet.

You must know that the distance between the two sides is about 10,000 meters, and the two all-steel battleships of the Ganyang City coastal defense fleet have achieved the result of sinking one of the opponent's iron-ribbed wood-hulled warships in just the first round of main gun salvos.

"They...... How could they be so accurate? Didn't they just receive these four warships? Cui He spoke at this time, with some trills.

Hu Wei was very calm, "This should be a mistake, the main guns of the two all-steel battleships of the coastal defense fleet should be aimed at the General and the Fierce General."

My guess is that the shell missed and hit the scimitar. ”

The General and the Fierce General are the two ironclad battleships under Cui He, and the Scimitar is the iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship that was sunk by a single cannon.

"Fourth, what should I do next?"

"The big boss, our naval guns, do not have such a long range, they can only close the distance and rely on our numerical superiority to launch a siege."

At this time, in the bridge of the all-steel battleship Zhenhai, Song Limin saw an iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship that had sunk pirates, and his face did not show a trace of joy.

After all, the Zhenhai's two twin 40-caliber 300 mm guns were aimed at a salvo fired at an ironclad battleship of the pirates, but the shells all fell two kilometers away.

However, it was very fortunate that a deflected 300-mm shell hit one of the pirates' iron-ribbed wooden warship.

The other naval officers and sailors in the bridge of the Zhenhai cheered for this.

Song Limin snorted coldly, "It's so far away, what's worth cheering about!" ”

Song Limin's son, first mate Song Shengwen immediately said excitedly: "Dad, this is the first enemy ship that our coastal defense fleet has sunk since its formation!" The first one! ”

Song Limin said disappreciatively: "Let the commanders of the two main turrets aim and fight, and the shells are two kilometers away!"

When to sink a pirate's ironclad battleship, rejoice again! ”

The second round of the main guns of the two all-steel battleships of the coastal defense fleet, a 320-mm main gun shell of the all-steel battleship Jinghai, directly hit the bow of a light cruiser on the right flank of the pirates.

This light cruiser with a full load displacement of 2300 tons is the flagship of the pirate leader Fire Mantis.

With a violent explosion, the bow of this light cruiser was almost shattered, and the turbulent sea water quickly poured into the hull from the shattered bow.

Because of the large influx of seawater, the stern of this light cruiser quickly warped out of the sea, and then the entire warship quickly plunged into the sea.

More than two hundred pirates, including the Fire Mantis, sank to the bottom of the sea with this light cruiser.

Even if someone jumped into the sea to escape, they were swept up in the whirlpool created by the sinking of the light cruiser.

Seeing that another pirate's light cruiser had been sunk by their own side, the officers and men of the navy in the bridge of the Zhenhai couldn't help but cheer again.

Only the corners of Song Limin's mouth couldn't help but grin, this is a little too far!

In the bridge of the all-steel battleship Jinghai, Wang Hongchun, who was transferred from the armored cruiser Pinghai to the Jinghai as the captain, said to the first mate Wang Xin with a wry smile: "Tell the commanders of the two main turrets to quickly recalculate the ruler, this shell is out of five or six kilometers!" ”

Wang Xin is Wang Hongchun's eldest son, and he, like Song Shengwen, the first mate of the Zhenhai, is a young officer who was promoted by Zhou Rui himself.

Wang Xin said with a smile: "Father, no matter what, he also sank a light cruiser of the pirates.

Sometimes luck is part of strength. ”

Wang Hongchun waved his hand, "Luck can't always be on our side, and after this naval battle is over, we have to work hard to train!" ”

The officers and men of the coastal defense fleet did not expect that the all-steel battleship Jinghai deflected several kilometers of this 320-mm shell and sank one of the pirates' light cruiser.

Immediately, the dozen or so ships left on the pirate right flank turned around and began to flee.

Under the hands of the pirate leader Fire Mantis, in addition to the sunken light cruiser, there was also an iron-ribbed wooden warship, a gunboat, and four armed merchant ships.

The pirates of the other six ships, when they saw that the light cruisers of the big boss had sunk, what else did they fight!

The six pirate ships immediately began to turn around and prepare to leave the battlefield.

Together with the Fire Mantis, the pirate leader Vicious Spider, who is responsible for outflanking from the right flank, has only one iron-ribbed wooden warship and four armed merchant ships under his hands, and his strength is even inferior to that of the Fire Mantis.

When the poisonous spider saw the light cruiser of the fire mantis, it was sunk at the beginning, and he was immediately frightened, and he didn't care about the morality of the rivers and lakes, so he directly ordered all the ships under his command to immediately turn around and run away.

The pirate leader in charge of the left wing is worried, and among the four pirates, his strength is second only to Cui He, the living king of Hades.

There was one ironclad battleship, one armored cruiser, two iron-ribbed and wood-hulled warships, two gunboats, and six armed merchant ships.

The ghost saw that the two all-steel battleships of the coastal defense fleet, with only two rounds of main gun salvos, sank an iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship and a light cruiser on their own side, and caused the right flank to collapse, and his face showed a look of horror.

One of the ghostly henchmen immediately suggested: "The big boss, it's not that we don't collect money and don't do things, it's that the living king of Hell didn't figure out the reality of the coastal defense fleet in Ganyang City.

Two all-steel battleships, even if the four of us join forces, we can't eat it.

If you are in charge, you will be broken, and we will be shelled no matter how late it is. ”

The ghost said anxiously: "Send the flag!" All U-turn! Let's withdraw! Evacuate!

Pirates fight the navy, I really let the crack in the door of my head, how can I believe the nonsense of the living Hades! ”

When the pirates on the left and right flanks began to turn around and flee, Hu Wei said to Cui He with a wry smile: "The big boss, the ghosts, poisonous spiders, and fire mantis are really unreliable, and they are all going to flee before they can fight." ”

Cui He gritted his teeth and said: "When I get the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, I will settle accounts with them."

Fourth, without the help of the other three, can we win? ”

Hu Wei shook his head, "Big boss, we have sunk one iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship, and now there are only two ironclad battleships, one armored cruiser, three light cruisers, one iron-ribbed wood-hulled warship, five gunboats, and nine armed merchant ships.

Victory is almost impossible, and I suggest that we retreat immediately. ”

As soon as Hu Wei's words fell, the third round of main gun shells of the two all-steel battleships of the Ganyang City Coastal Defense Fleet fell again.

This time, a 300-millimeter shell from the Zhenhai only missed about a kilometer, and it landed right on top of an armed merchant ship.

As a result, this wooden armed merchant ship with a displacement of more than 800 tons was suddenly blown apart, and the main body of the armed merchant ship soon disappeared into the sea, leaving only floating planks and some pirates who jumped into the sea to escape.

Cui He's expression was even more frightened at this time, one cannon and one boat, his little belongings were not enough to consume so much.

"Withdraw! We also withdraw! Cui Hong's shit, this is digging a hole for me! ”

Song Limin didn't expect the incoming pirates to fight so much, the two all-steel battleships only fired three rounds of main gun salvos, and dozens of pirate ships turned around and began to flee.

Is this a victory?

At this time, Song Shengwen shouted excitedly: "Dad, you can't let the pirates leave so easily!" Must be pursued!

The more pirate ships you sink, the more you can deter other pirates, making the waters near Ganyang City a forbidden area for pirates! ”

Song Limin nodded, "Send a report to the Jinghai, Pinghai, Anhai, and Shuguang, maintain the formation, and pursue the fleeing pirate ship!"

After this battle, I want all the pirates along the coast of the Han and Tang Empires to pee their pants in fear as soon as they hear the name of our Ganyang City coastal defense fleet! ”
