When the Flying Mountain began to slowly accelerate and rubbed shoulders with the Dutch fourth-tier battleships, whether it was the Tiger Squat Cannon, or the Furlong Machine Cannon, or the Rumi Gun, they were all firing wildly. By the time the Flying Mountain overtook the Dutch battleship, all 15 rounds of Furlong's guns had been fired, and each gun fired ten solid rounds and five shotguns in less than five minutes.

Unfortunately, the Dutch battleship's gun bays and bulwarks were drilled with nearly a hundred holes the size of sea bowls, but these were not fatal, except for a limited number of rounds that penetrated below the waterline and caused a small amount of water, the ship was still very strong.

In addition to the three broken masts, three large holes were blown out of the ship's deck, and the ship's gun compartment was on fire and affected the sails. The steering wheel was also shattered by the shotgun.

Boss Zhang grasped the timing very accurately and ran quickly. Look at the Dutch ship that is getting farther and farther behind. Li Jing let out a sigh of relief, now it depends on whether he can rush to the Penghu reef group before dark, looking at the chaotic people fighting the fire in the fire on the boat behind, and the people who fired firecrackers at the Feilai Mountain. It is estimated that they want to extinguish the fire, change the sails, and repair the steering wheel.

The thunderbolts in the rear continued to fire at the Dutch battleships behind, but most of them were blown into the sea by the crosswind, but the huge splash caused by the explosion also frightened the Dutch.

When it was about to exceed the firing range, perhaps because of shit luck, a forty-pound thunder shell landed right on the bow of the ship, and with an earth-shattering bang, the entire front mast was blown away. The bow of the ship was in shambles, and a 24-pounder cannon flipped backwards and flew out, smashing onto the deck. Another opening was made.

Li Jing saw through the binoculars that he was afraid that there was a heavy cannon on the bow of the ship for a while. Fortunately, there was no time to fire, otherwise this kind of cannon would have sunk the Feilaishan in just a few shots.

Boss Zhang nervously commanded the whole ship, and at this time the advantages of the schooner were reflected. The Dutch are chasing, they are four-cornered galleons, in the case of a headwind, do not have an advantage.

There is nothing Li Jing can do here, Li Jing got off the bridge, entered the room below, and saw that the two sisters and the four maids were fine, and he was relieved.

"Little brother, little brother, my sister and I hit a red-haired man just now," Li Yue'er said, at this time the two of them were still lying on both sides of the open window, one carrying a short fire hammer given to them by Li Jing, it seems that they didn't miss the excitement just now.

"It's not hurt, close the window, it's windy"

"It was so dangerous just now, when the gunpowder pack exploded, an iron anchor flew in front of the window and almost didn't hit it. It scared us," Li Weier said with palpitations on her chest.

"Young master, are we okay, the red-haired man is the least to come up," Xiaomei asked nervously. He also carried a flower gun in his hand.

"It is not yet possible to say that they are completely out of danger, and in less than two hours they will be extinguishing the fire, changing their canvases and steering wheels to catch up, but they have no advantage over us against the wind. When it gets dark and enters the Penghu reef group, it will be easy to do. You guys get ready to fight later. I'll go back to my room and sleep for a while."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he went back to the room to rest.

In the evening, the Feilai Mountain finally arrived in Penghu, and the Dutch behind the second used the remaining two masts to finally catch up, due to the damage to the heavy gun carriage in the bow, it was impossible to fire at the Feilai Mountain, but the Feilai Mountain used the zigzag shape, and when the side was facing the bow of the Dutch battleship, it adopted a tactic similar to grabbing the T-head, constantly using the Fran cannon to fire pointed cylindrical shells and throwing gunpowder packs with ballistas, striking the Dutch battleship, the angry Dutch, I can't accept that one of my latest dignified fourth-class warships was actually plotted by a small merchant ship. I tried my best to chase after it.

Li Jing was also commanding from the bridge at this time, and the curtain suddenly opened, and the customer service sister said: "Does the host need hydrological services in this area?" There is a shallow shoal here that is two feet deeper than the draft of the Flying Mountain, and you can get by, and the Dutch ship behind will run aground. This great value service only costs 100 coins. ”

Li Jing secretly scolded in his heart, he is really a profiteer, he can buy a lot of things for 500 yuan. But at this time, it was important to save his life, and he couldn't take care of it, and then Li Jing immediately took a picture of this service, so an interface similar to car navigation appeared in front of Li Jing's eyes, and he began to indicate the route of the boat. The current, the current speed, the flow direction, the water depth, the wind direction, and the whirlpool are all clearly marked by green numbers, and they are constantly refreshed as the boat is sailing.

"Is there a shoal over here?" Li Jing asked Boss Zhang.

"Yes, young master, but we loaded a lot of goods this time, and I'm not sure if we can get by. I'm going to run 70 to the reef in front of me and let the red-haired man run aground."

Li Jing glanced back, and in the binoculars, the Dutch were repairing the 24-pounder cannon rack in the bow of the ship. "It's too late, soon they'll fix the heavy gun in the bow, do you think we'll get that far. We beat them like this, and we still can't get rid of them. Once it catches up with us, it will soon be able to sink us. Our ships are not combative. ”

"Young master, what do you say?"

"From now on, I will take over the command, and you will be my assistant."

Boss Zhang nodded, and stood behind Li Jing obediently, "The helmsman listens to the order, the left rudder, and the three sails form a 12-degree angle,"

Li Jing immediately entered the state, under the navigation of the light curtain, commanded the Feilai Mountain, turned east and west, and sailed, the heavy artillery behind had been repaired, and there were constantly water columns rising outside the ship.

At this time, the curtain showed that the shoal had arrived, Li Jing hurriedly commanded to turn the bow of the ship and insert it directly into the shoal, the sailors were all in this section of the shoal, everyone's faces were pale, and the Feilai Mountain was overloaded, and they didn't know if they could get by. This shoal has a small high point. In order to prevent the Dutch from seeing the clues, Li Jing ignored it and rushed straight over. At this time, the bottom of the boat almost brushed the sand of the highest shoal.

At this time, a solid 24-pound shell hit, hitting the sandbag on the left, and immediately brushed it from the side, the sandbag cracked, and rice splashed all over the sky. Everyone on the command platform squatted down collectively, trembling with fright. If it hits someone, it will be shattered instantly.

Seeing that the Feilai Mountain accelerated in a straight line and ran away, the Dutch didn't care about firing their guns, so they hurriedly rushed over in a straight line, and soon the fourth-class gunboat was blocked by the sand, and Christian was shocked that it was not good to run aground. "Right full rudder, U-turn, quick, it's going to run aground"

His disposition was right, but their draft was too deep, and the whole battleship slowly turned to the right, slower and slower, and finally actually stopped, and stopping was not the worst case, the key was that the hull was tilted. At this moment, the gun muzzle on the starboard side was pointed at the sea, and the gun fire on the port side was pointed at the sky. Completely lost the ability to fight.

The advantages and disadvantages reversed in an instant, and Cristian wanted to cry without tears. Joan, who was hit in the right arm by a handcuff, was wrapped in gauze at this time, hanging one arm. Also dumbfounded.

Seeing this effect, Li Jing was secretly refreshed, the value of this navigation flower, now that feng shui is taking turns, it is time for grandpa to appear.
