Chapter 114: Naval Battle

"Boom, boom, boom."

Liu Xiang's side has already opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Yang Bo also fired back with artillery.

The range of the Tiger Squat Cannon was only 800 paces, and the distance between the two sides was less than the range, and the projectile fell on the sea in front of it, splashing with bursts of water.

Even if it hits, it can only cause damage to the objects and personnel on the deck, and it is almost impossible to sink the opponent's ship.

Even so, the risk is still very high, and in case of a shot, casualties are inevitable.

Yang Bo was reluctant to take this risk, but there was no room for retreat, everyone was bullied to the doorstep, and the hard top had to be on.

"The enemy ship is starting to turn." Lei Jizi exclaimed.

"Huh.." Yang Bo sneered, his eyes did not take his eyes off the field of view of the telescope, "Pirate tactics, but that's it." ”

Liu Xiang flanked and blocked me from turning, and then rushed in the middle to win in chaos, a typical pirate tactic.

It seems that Liu Xiang doesn't pay much attention to the role of the tiger squat cannon, the range is 800 steps, which is farther than the firecracker, but the accuracy is really unsatisfactory, and the pirates still like melee combat, jumping gang hand-to-hand combat, and solving problems with large blades.

It also depends on who you meet, and if you meet Yang Bo, you are unlucky.

In Yang Bo's view, the biggest threat from Liu Xiang's fleet is the bowl mouth gun, which is a direct firearm, dozens of doors are fired together, hitting people, although there may not be a hole with a large bowl mouth, eight or nine out of ten people will not survive, it can be said that people block killing, Buddha blocking and killing Buddha, it is indeed terrifying.

"Brother, it's almost over, I'll go down and have a fight with Liu Xiang."

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, He Qifeng became excited, and he didn't care about learning to drive a boat with Lei Jizi, and he was eager to try.

"Don't even think about it, your task is to learn how to sail." Yang Bo didn't look back, he took the binoculars and watched, "Big brother, you have to watch the wind and don't let him run around." ”

"Okay." Lei Qizi grinned and ordered: "He Qifeng, three points on the left rudder, steady..."

"Learn to drive a boat, learn to drive a boat, it's good, I don't even have a chance to shoot a gun." He Qifeng picked up the rudder of the ship and shouted in his mouth.

"Big brother, don't care about Liu Xiang's two wings, keep the speed of the voyage, so as not to respond to all changes, I'll go down first."

Yang Bo suddenly put down the binoculars, picked up a musket, dropped a sentence, and walked out of the command cabin with a bang, and came to the foredeck.

"Wang Lianying." Yang Bo shouted.

"Here." Wang Lianying hurried over.

"Hold steady first, wait for the thieves to ignite, and then shoot."

"Understood." Wang Lianying picked up the musket in his hand and said with a smile: "What Liu Xiang wants is to outflank the two wings, break through in the middle, and think that he has a plan, we have this, he wants to come, so let him drink a good pot." ”

Yang Bo transferred the second team of Wang Lianying, 100 people, 100 new muskets, this is Yang Bo's confidence.

Lei Qizi in the command cabin looked down, smiled, smiled very chicken thief, turned to He Qifeng and said: "He Qifeng, keep the speed of the voyage, so as not to respond to all changes, I will go down first." ”

He Qifeng watched Lei Jizi also go to the deck, roared wildly, and tears almost fell.

"Third brother, it's time for that baby rocket launcher to appear, right?" Lei Zhizi came to Yang Bo's side and asked urgently.

Yang Bo shook his head, rocket artillery is Yang Bo's killer weapon, it is reserved for the Dutch, Liu Xiang is not qualified.

The point is that rocket artillery is still being experimental, its reliability is not good, and there are not many of them.

The Dutch hid behind Liu Xiang, their intentions were unknown, in case the Dutch suddenly appeared in the fierce battle, their warships were equipped with a lot of canon runs, with a range of several miles, and there were no countermeasures, wouldn't they wait for death?

Yang Bo probe looked at the enemy ship, Liu Xiang's firecracker had already stood up, leaned on the side of the ship, and began to charge, Yang Bo leveled the musket in his hand, there was a crosshair in front, a light door in the back, two points and a line, the muzzle was aimed at a firecracker who had been charged, just waiting for the moment he ignited, he pulled the trigger, at this distance, knocked down this person, Yang Bo was still sure.

"Phew."

"Woohoo, Woohoo..."

"Aim and then shoot, don't waste ammo."

After Yang Bo finished firing, he squatted down, busy loading ammunition, and shouted in his mouth.

"Mother Trey." Liu Xiang was dumbfounded

What kind of gun did Yang Bo make? Why don't you see the charge?

The bowl mouth gun is powerful, it is true, but it is the same as the ordinary firearm, the personnel must stand to charge, standing to shoot the gun, Yang Bo's people use the rear loading firing gun, using the fixed paper bullet, can quickly press into the magazine, when shooting, you can hide behind the shelter, calmly use the standing, squatting, or even lying posture, only poke out the muzzle, you can put the gun.

Liu Xiang's ship, for a moment of chaos, the gunfire roared, the firecracker was knocked down as soon as he raised his head, the projectile was an iron egg, hit the body, it was a hole, blood gushed out, for a while, on the deck, blood flowed everywhere, wailing.

It's too miserable, this is all Liu Xiang's capital to run rampant at sea, and the loss is too great.

"Tretre .." Liu Xiang was shocked, he was really frightened, his jaw fell directly to the ground, and the projectile swished over, and he bent down and cursed.

Sou...

A projectile whizzed past his head.

While...

Hitting the wooden plank behind him, sawdust flew sideways, and a few pieces scratched his face, and immediately bled profusely.

"The old mother of Dio Lei was beaten as a rabbit, and she still hasn't started yet." Liu Xiang scolded, looking very sad.

Touching his face, he felt the blood in his hand, he was anxious, and shouted: "Blossom bomb, blossom bomb, tiger squat cannon, open the flower bomb for Lao Tzu." ”

Boom...

A firebolt fell to the ground with a bullet in his hand, his limbs twitching, and he didn't breathe yet, but the bowl in his hand had already ignited, and it was on fire.

This is going to kill you, Liu Xiang was frightened, and crawled around, wanting to escape from the scene.

Rumble.. Rumble....

The gun happened to hit a rectangular wooden box, and it was gunpowder stored there.

This was the most horrific event on the ship.

There was a loud noise, and the air wave set off by the explosion threw him high, like a slow motion in the movie, backflipping, turning one hundred and eighty degrees, somersaulting backwards for three and a half weeks, and throwing him into the sea, it is estimated that he would have died a long time ago and could not die again.

Poor Liu Xiang, who went north this time, originally just wanted to follow the Dutch to earn some pocket money, but his ambition was not rewarded, so he was buried in the belly of the fish.

Rats leave a sinking ship.

The boss is dead, and the thieves see that it is not good, and those who can run, they will run, and those who can't run will jump into the sea, and more, they will raise the white flag and surrender.

"Your mother." Lei Zhenzi put the gun on his shoulder, still unfinished, watched a group of prisoners of war walk over, grinned, and said, "This Liu Xiang is too unbeaten." ”

Yang Bo raised his binoculars to observe the movements of the Dutch warship, and the Dutch not only did not come to the rescue, but retreated.

"Big brother, you send a sentry ship to keep an eye on the Dutch warship and find out where it goes." Yang Bo commanded.

"Okay." Lei Zhenzi said yes and turned around to make arrangements.

"Childe." Wang Lianying walked over and said happily, "This battle is really happy." ”

"Where is a battle, at most half a battle, the Dutch have not moved." Yang Bo glanced at Wang Lianying, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Wang Lianying, are you from the north?" ”

"Yes, Jizhou people, what's wrong?" Wang Lianying wondered.

"When the Dutch are driven away, you pick a few clever people in the musket battalion and go to Liaodong."

Wang Lianying suddenly became energetic, and said with great joy: "Son, do you want to fight Jiannu?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head, "It's just to explore the way, with a caravan of the Feng family, and when we return to the stone temple, I will talk to you in detail." ”

Liu Xiang's people, who died, fled, and surrendered, were waiting to collect the captives.

The Dutch were retreating, Lei Zhenzi's clipper was too small, and Yang Bo didn't plan to catch up and fight with the Dutch again.

There was no fight for a while, so I didn't press the table for the time being, and returned to the Nanxi River wharf.

The wharf was originally a place where the flow of people was concentrated, in recent months, the merchants who came and went day by day, today suddenly a level of combat readiness, many people were blocked in Shenjiabao, and now they have come out to inquire about the news, the flow of people on the wharf is not slightly reduced than usual, everyone is anxious, gathered together, and they talked about it.

Yang Bo went to sea this time, and the stakes were significant, if he really fought with the Dutch and won the battle, it would be easy to say anything, the good days continued, and if he lost, it would not be good, where could Shenjiabao withstand the harassment of the red-haired ghost?

Han Zanzhou and others are no exception, especially he and Zuo Wencan are stationed in Shenjiabao, and they also want to know if Yang Bo fought with the Dutch at sea, and if he fought, won or lost?

Even if you return to the Deyue Building, you are restless, just wait here, fortunately near the dock, there is no shortage of restaurants, it is noon in the horizontal and vertical, you will find a restaurant nearby, two groups of people sit down, eat and wait.

In view of the fact that Xu Ji was invited by Yang Bo to be the principal of the Shimiao Academy, everyone ate and chatted, and naturally mentioned Yang Bo's opening of a school in Shenjiabao.

"Our family has heard that this stone temple school has now been renamed Wanli School, because Feng Wanli donated silver, Wen Can, Feng Wanli is your father-in-law, donating 20,000 taels of silver, it's really a big deal." Han Zan Zhou was amazed.

"Oh.." Zuo Wencan was taken aback, he had heard of it for the first time.

Zuo Wencan these days, in Haizhou, the gate is not out, the second door is not stepping, in addition to messing with Cui'er all day long, it is drinking, similar to a living dead, until Han Zanzhou came to read the emperor's will, he was just transferred, and then he came back to life, and the news was naturally very closed.

"It's a good thing to donate money to help with education." Xu Ji smiled and said, "I heard that there is a women's school in Shenjiabao?" It is called Pei Yao Women's School, which was donated by Xu Wenjue, the prince of Wei in Nanjing, but Pei Yao is Xu Wenjue's favorite woman, this matter has become a good story, I heard it on the way here, or there are many strange things in Shenjiabao. ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Su Luo'er glanced at Zuo Wencan, covered her mouth and smiled: "Lord Zuo, if Mrs. Zun becomes the principal of the Women's Academy, it will increase the morale of our daughter's family, but Lord Zuo has to promise." ”

When Zuo Wencan heard this, he couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, shook his head again and again, and said, "Miss Su said that she laughed, how could Yawen be."

As he spoke, he felt that there was something strange about this matter, and exclaimed, "Is this true?" But the official is unknown..."

Su Luo'er realized that Zuo Wencan didn't know yet, so she hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zun has returned to Haizhou a few days ago, I think I want to discuss with Lord Zuo, Lord Zuo didn't see Mrs. Zun in Haizhou?" ”

"This.." Zuo Wencan was shocked, and his expression was also excited, as if he had been robbed of his love by a knife, and his body and mind had been greatly insulted, he was furious, and his lips trembled with anger, but he couldn't speak.

"How can such a thing happen?" Han Zanzhou was also surprised, his thin eyebrows furrowed, and said, "This Yang Bo can really do anything." ”

Zuo Wencan slapped the table and said angrily: "Throughout the ages, how have there ever been any women's schools? YANG Bo.. It's just nonsense. ”

"What's so bad about girls going to school?" Su Luoer saw that Zuo Wencan was angry, but she didn't expect him to be so angry, and argued: "Women are literate, and they are no different from men, and they can also be sensible, come out to do things, and support their families, for example, in the Shimiao Match Factory, women can be literate and hyphenated, so they can be a little steward, and they can also manage men, and they have more monthly money than men, but there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"Hehe, Brother Wencan, don't be angry, it's better to see than to hear, why don't we talk to Yang Bo, and then go to the match factory to take a look, and then talk, how about it?" Xu Ji snorted and said with a smile: "There are more women than men in this match factory?" It's so interesting, I really should check it out. ”
