They are so familiar with this kind of thing that practice makes perfect.

The process went smoothly, and almost no one on the merchant ship showed up to stop the sailors on the ship from throwing hooks and boards.

The sailors on the ship had already begun to jump on the planks and rush towards the merchant ships.

Chen Quinoa slowly felt at ease, as long as he got on the merchant ship, there would be no problems.

Even if there were guards hired on a merchant ship, if they tried to fight against an army, they would be asking for their own death.

Chen Quinoa stood at the top and shouted loudly: "Quick, hurry up and board the ship!" What are you rubbing? ”

Seeing the sailors on the four battleships on the left and right rushing across the plank, Chen Quan unconsciously smiled, and it was done!

However, the smile stiffened almost instantly.

When the sailors on the ship crossed the side of the ship, moved along the sides, and moved towards the bow of the ship, a series of "boom" sounds sounded, and the large wooden boxes stacked two stories high in the hold of the merchant ship suddenly burst into flames from the side facing the side of the ship.

Chen Quinoa was stunned.

He saw the round holes in the side walls of the wooden boxes, but he couldn't imagine how they were the musket holes.

Suddenly, countless sailors on board the ship fell into the water like dumplings.

It's too close, almost shooting at the other side.

Chen Quinoa finally reacted, this is a trap!

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Chen Quinoa hissed, "The musket needs to be reloaded, enough for you to return——! ”

Chen Quinoa is knowledgeable, too, they also use muskets, and they also have the latest flintlock pistols from Western Europe, so they naturally understand that it takes time to reload muskets.

More than ten seconds of reloading time is enough to return to your own warship.

The sailors obeyed the order and began to turn back.

It's a pity that Chen Quinoa was wrong.

Muskets need to be reloaded, but why do wooden crates need to be stacked in two layers?

The rotation of firing from the upper and lower levels can compress the time to an interval of five or six seconds, and five or six seconds is simply not enough for the sailors to escape back from the plank.

It was a massacre, and most of the muskets in the hands of the sailors of the Zheng family did not have time to fire and could not find a target to shoot.

There are also those who react quickly, and they also shoot at the wooden box.

But after shooting, it was discovered that the projectiles fired by their muskets were embedded in the wooden planks, and a metal impact could be heard.

It's too shady, how thick does this plank have to be?

There may be iron plates in the dare?!

Chen Quinoa's order completely ruined this group of sailors who crossed the ship.

The sailor ran from the stern and the middle of the boat to the bow, and then returned the way he came, one time and again, which was equivalent to sifting twice from the muzzle of the gun.

At this distance, I'm afraid that even a blind person can hit it, right?

It's too late, it's too fast.

It's a long process, but in reality, it's only a minute or two.

After a few rounds of muskets, there were not many sailors left on board.

Chen Quinoa was wrong, and at this time, he actually ordered the sailors on the battleship to concentrate their shots on the wooden box.

It is no wonder that, in the blink of an eye, two or three hundred sailors on board the ship were killed or wounded.

Whoever you want, you hate it!

As a result, the battleship of the Zheng family naval division was at sea and engaged in a shootout with the merchant ships.

It lasted almost a quarter of an hour.

In this quarter of an hour, this Zheng family sailor was completely buried.

In fact, if Chen Quinoa had calmed down, he should have ordered the battleship to break away and then shell the merchant ship from the nearest limit of the artillery range.

Or, realizing that this is a trap, you should retreat decisively, go back to take revenge, and then mobilize the main force of the sailor to take revenge.

But although Chen Quinoa realized that this was a trap, he did not realize that this was the beginning of a battle.

It's so arrogant!

The Zheng family exists like a god in the waters around the South China Sea, and even the red hair on the east fan does not want to take the initiative to provoke.

Because of this, Chen Quinoa thinks that in his own one-third of an acre, who can help to get the Zheng family water master?

In a quarter of an hour, Chen Quinoa realized that he couldn't win the gun, and the other party came prepared, the wooden box wall was opened, and it was lined with iron plates, and his own muskets fired intensively, and after breaking the wooden box board, he hit a little spark.

Although the casualties on your side are not large in the shootout, and there is a ship in the way, but if you continue to fight like this, when will it be a head? Is there more ammunition than whom?

At this time, Chen Quinoa finally realized that he was wrong, and he actually used his shortcomings to avoid his strengths, and instead of the ship's heavy artillery, he used a musket.

Of course, at this time, the cannon could not be fired, the artillery had a close range limit, and the ships on both sides could cross the distance by building a wooden plank, and the artillery could not reach it, and if it was bombarded, it would hurt itself.

Therefore, Chen Quinoa finally came to his senses and gave the order for the battleship to sail away and use artillery to smash the merchant ship.

The battleship began to slowly break away, and the shootout continued.

In the process of detachment, the battleship artillery began to transfer the muzzles, carry out aiming, and when the distance was enough, they immediately ignited.

However, at this time, from a distance there was never a "rumble" of cannons.

Chen Quinoa turned his head in fear, there was no need for binoculars at this time, and ten miles away, a fleet had already appeared.

Ignite the flames, which are the flames emitted when the artillery fires.

Chen immediately ordered the naval guns on the other side to counterattack.

But that's just a momentum.

Chen Quinoa knew very well that the largest heavy artillery in his fleet had a range of only six or seven miles.

And the enemy has reached him from ten miles away.

That is, if you don't escape, you can only wait to be beaten until all the ships are sunk.

The cannonballs smashed into the sea water around the battleship, stirring up countless water columns, and the barrage was quite dense, and several water columns appeared on the other side of the battleship.

This made Chen Quinoa even more frightened.

Because the ship guns at this time are firing, the probability of hitting is very small, even if the target is large.

Even within the effective range, the landing point of this shell is affected by too many factors, such as wind speed, weather, distance, temperature of the barrel, etc., and even the cleanliness of the barrel and the stability of the operator, which will affect the accuracy.

On the huge sea, there are only two situations to hit the target, one is to rely on the blind, if the luck is too good, within the range of the hit, but this situation is more difficult than hitting five million.

Second, the shells form a straddle on both sides of the ship, that is, when the target is sideways, that is, the side of the ship is facing the muzzle, then the shell falls on the other side of the target ship, then the probability of hitting is greatly increased.

The principle is very simple, adjust the muzzle up and down, take the middle of the two landing points, and adjust it.

If at this time, a salvo of naval guns is fired, the probability of hitting is as high as two or three.

Chen Quinoa is a veteran of the water division, how can he not understand this truth?

He quickly realized that the other party had already calibrated the shooting elements.

Chen Quinoa finally made the right choice and ordered an immediate retreat!

Unfortunately, he was wrong again.

Because the direction of the bow of the Zheng family's sailors is to the north.

At that time, the merchant fleet came from north to south, and the bow of the Zheng family sailor went north to meet it.

As a result, the merchant ships refused to stop and rushed straight for the fleet.

Chen ordered the fleet to be outflanked from both sides and forcibly boarded.

Therefore, at that time, the direction of the battleship was facing west, directly facing the side of the merchant ship.
