Jiao Shixun is an extremely cautious person.

In this pirate-ridden continent, if you don't have a cautious and cautious character, how can you get into such majesty today? When a pirate is indeed very important, but blindly fighting is definitely just a small thief who does not enter the stream, and it is impossible to respond to all kinds of calls if you want to be powerful.

When he saw the four strange-looking sailing ships coming quickly in the distance, Jiao Shixun had a bad premonition in his heart......

Just imagine, as an old pirate who has been crisscrossing the East China Sea for many years, he has never even seen the other party's ship type, isn't it a thing that is beyond common sense? How can it not make Jiao Shixun's heart tremble?

What is particularly important is that the enemy ship in front of it is getting closer and closer, and the overall outline is already very clear, but it is found that the enemy ship has no bed crossbows, shooting rods or anything, and the only characteristic is that it drives fast. Could it be that this new type of ship of the naval division relies on speed to ram the enemy with the angle of attack of the bow?

This is completely inconsistent with the requirements of naval warfare......

Just when Jiao Shixun was suspicious, a rumbling explosion shook his eardrums, and the enemy ship, which had slowed down and had completed half of its turn on the sea, suddenly burst into flames, followed by a puff of black smoke rising into the air.

Jiao Shixun's eyes widened, inexplicably.

However, before he could laugh at the new warship of the sailor that it had caught fire before the battle, he suddenly noticed a dark shadow in front of him.

A thing that I don't know what it was rushed towards like lightning, and Jiao Shixun, who was standing on the bow of the boat, was startled, and subconsciously shortened.

A loud "boom" sounded behind him.

Jiao Shixun looked at the bull's head in surprise, and his eyes almost popped out!

I saw a group of elite pirates standing behind him lying down at this moment, and four or five pirates with strong physiques were hit by something, their bones were broken, their flesh and blood were blurred, and the screams and screams sounded at this time.

Not far away, the rudder tower was covered with a large black hole, and the sturdy planks were broken and cracked.

What's going on?

Jiao Shixun's eyes were wide open in confusion, and he didn't know what was going on.

I was fine just now, why did I suddenly fall to the ground, and my flesh and blood flew everywhere?

He looked up at the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the weather was rare, but what was the explosion just now? Could it be that Lao Tzu has done all the bad things and lost all his conscience, and God wants to accept me when he thunders on a dry day?

*****

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

The new warship was cheering.

To tell the truth, the gunners on the warship understood that although this firearm was powerful, the crosshair was really ridiculous. The distance of the enemy ship is too far, it is not easy to aim, and the artillery will produce a very strong recoil force when firing, which makes it difficult to contain the displacement of the gun body, and the aim is even more biased.

The first shot of the war hits the target, which is simply the probability of a seventy-year-old man getting a shot......

"Clean the chamber!"

"Charge!"

"Reload!"

"Ready—"

"Put!"

Although everyone was excited, the order of the artillery commander was immediately given, and the gunners had to suppress their excitement and quickly complete their work according to the usual drill process.

First, use a brush with pig bristles to clean up the remaining gunpowder residue in the barrel, then put the paper bag of the quantitative gunpowder into the barrel, and finally fill the round dishonest iron bullet into it, and use a long iron drill to poke it to the bottom of the barrel.

The ship is moving, and the angle of the shot must be adjusted accordingly.

A moment later, the four guns on the four ships roared again, and the four iron shells were pushed out by the gunpowder, and the small barrel length and large caliber made the muzzle velocity of the shells extremely low, and even then, the speed of the shells was almost at the limit of the human eye.

In the distance, four white waves splashed on the sea in a row, and all four shells missed without exception.

The gunners were not discouraged and quickly followed the regulated process to quickly reload the shells. The four warships that were the first to break away from the main force completed the turn on the sea, and the sails were only halfway raised, and the speed was already in sync with the enemy ships chasing with all their strength, and they retreated in the direction of the main fleet, while firing non-stop.

For a while, the cannon roared on the sea, black smoke rose into the air, and water splashed.

The pirate ship seemed to see the power of the artillery, and kept speeding up to catch up with the new warship and close the distance for a broadside battle. But the new ships of the sailors were too fast, so they hung slowly in front of them, almost keeping the same distance, and the guns kept firing......

Today's artillery has neither an aiming device, nor is it stable, so the accuracy is naturally painful. However, the constant shelling finally caused a qualitative change, and one of the shells was lucky enough to hit the waterline of the enemy's flagship.

In front of the iron bullet carrying huge kinetic energy, the plank of the enemy's flagship was easily torn apart like broken paper, and the sea water frantically poured into the gap shattered by the iron bullet under the action of gravity, and in just a moment, the enemy ship had begun to tilt.

The pirates on the deck scurried around, initially trying to go down to the bilge to remedy the situation, but then abandoned the idea. Someone began to jump into the sea and swim towards friendly ships, causing the entire fleet to be thrown into chaos in an instant.

Jiao Shixun's soul is about to fly away, what kind of weapon is this?

If you are so far away, you can lose your own troops and even your own ship will be hit! Feeling the slow tilt of the boat under his feet, the bow of the ship gradually sinking, and the sound of cannons and the shouts of his subordinates to persuade him to abandon the ship sounded in his ears, Jiao Shixun only felt that his heart was cold and cold as the ship continued to sink.

Just four strange-looking new warships, equipped with such powerful long-range weapons, can let the warship under their seat sink without resistance, if there are ten or a hundred such new warships, there will be no more pirates in the East China Sea......

However, this is obviously not the time to think about the future, if you can't defeat the fleet of sailors in front of you, once you are chased and killed by its tail, this little family business that you have worked so hard to create will be ruined!

There's no way, let's rush up, the brave wins when we meet on the narrow road!

Jiao Shixun gritted his teeth and shouted: "Why calm Lao Tzu!" There are so many of our ships, how many can he sink? Listen to Lao Tzu's orders, give me to rush forward, as long as I take the board, let these little cubs know that I am a 'green skin Jiao'! ”

He had a very high prestige among the pirates, and when he shouted like this, he quickly stabilized the morale of the army.

Yes, although this weapon of the sailor is very powerful, it can sink a warship from such a long distance, but as long as they are close to the broadside battle, how can these little cubs from mud legs be the opponent of these battle-hardened pirates?

What you didn't say, rush to rush, as long as you rush to the front, then victory is in sight!

Jiao Shixun gave up the ship that had begun to sink slowly, boarded a nearby warship, raised the flag and gave the order to charge, and in the sound of the horn of "woo", countless pirate ships rushed forward like chicken blood!

When the artillery sank an enemy ship again, the main force of the sailors and the frantically rushing pirates finally met in a narrow way! In naval warfare in this era, in order to exert the power of the angle of attack, the bow of the ship has always been the impact of the bow of the ship, followed by the side of the lever slap, the crossbow shooting, and finally the hand-to-hand combat.

The two fleets are like two angry bulls, slamming into each other on the vast sea!

"Bang, bang, bang"

The sound of the crash of the horns was endless, and a series of tooth-sore "creaks" sounded one after another, and the hull of the warship that was not strong enough was broken and the keel was twisted, and the soldiers standing on the side of the ship were constantly shaken and fell into the water, screaming miserably.

Then, locust-like arrows flew on the surface of the sea, and the soldiers on both sides continued to scream and be hit by arrows, and the battle was fierce.

In just a moment's effort, the warships of both sides staggered, and the most tragic broadside battle arrived!

The pirates held the weapons in their hands tightly, not afraid of the arrows that came from them, even if someone was hit by the arrow, they just fell to the ground with a snort, and the rest of them stared at the sailor warship in front of them with red eyes, just waiting for the distance to be closer, and then jumped on the other party's deck and killed!

And the soldiers on the sailor's warship are also neatly arrayed, waiting for the upcoming bloody battle!

The hull of the ship is staggered, and the side of the ship is getting closer and closer to the side of the ship!
