The fleet left the Majia Strait and continued its voyage westward. It's in the Indian Ocean, and the wind and waves are much bigger than 'our sea'. In the event of a storm, the sea conditions are even worse.

Toot toot!

The sirens sounded, and all the officers and men of the escort formation immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and the artillery was in position and ready for battle.

Ye Tong learned from the notice that a pirate ship had been discovered.

Ye Tong walked out of the room, took out the telescope and looked into the distance, and from the telescope, he saw countless sail warships 10 kilometers away quickly heading towards the fleet.

On those battleships, the skull battle flag was hoisted, and at a glance, it was clear that it was the symbol of a pirate. Hehe! There are hundreds of sail warships, each of which is about 2,000 tons or more, which really looks up to the Qin army, and there are hundreds of them.

With such a strong strength, the ghost believes that it is a pirate, and it is definitely a certain country's navy dressed as a pirate. Only at the national level can it be that powerful.

Not to mention anything else, Niuniu's country is rich in pirates. Niu Niu is a naval power, and its ancestors were all pirates.

Niuniu's family is not afraid, and openly takes out the family history for people to visit and show off, unlike the Chinese people, who have to cover the black history.

It is more accurate to say that it is a bullish navy, but it is better to say that it is a bullish pirate.

What country is the pirate in front of him, Ye Tong doesn't know, and there is no need to know, whether it is the pirate of that family, eliminate it directly.

Ouyang Ming, the commander of the escort team, immediately ordered an order to leave five armored warships to escort the escort. Ten 5,200-ton steel warships and 15 5,600-ton armored cruisers sailed out of the queue to meet the pirate warship.

10 km, for a battleship, it will not take long to catch up. However, under the blockage of the Qin navy, the speed did not work, and 25 warships had to be destroyed.

The range of the 75mm gun is 10 kilometers, but the problem is that the effective range is not that long, and in order to ensure accuracy, naval officers and sailors generally have to wait until about 7,000 meters before firing.

The distance between the two sides was shortened, and when they were 8,000 meters apart, Ou Yangming ordered: "Fire!" ”

Thundered! Thundered!

The first round of test firing was unsuccessful, and many shells were at a distance of more than 500 meters from the opposing ships from time to time. According to the calculations of the fire control personnel, the gunner immediately came up with a deviation, adjusted it, and fired again.

Thundered! Thundered!

Hundreds of shells smashed into the pirate skeleton ships, some continuing to miss, others straddle fire. However, two Corsair ships were unlucky and were hit by 75mm guns. One shell exploded on the deck, and one near the corsair's waterline.

Poof!

The pirate ship that hit the waterline was torn open by a cannonball, and the fierce sea water poured into the hull of the ship frantically, and a few minutes later, the pirate ship sank, causing the pirate ship to lose one warship.

The pirate ship that exploded on the armor was lucky to survive, and did not cause too much damage to the warship, but only killed more than a dozen pirates.

Keep keeping your distance and don't get too close!

Commander Ou Yangming immediately gave an order, and at the same time asked the escort group to reorganize the basic warships into a battle team, and began to surround the pirate ships from two directions.

Thundered! Thundered!

The third round of shelling yielded unexpected results, in which five corsair ships were hit. Among them, the chimney of a pirate ship was exploded, blasting into a pile of debris. Causes the speed of the pirate ship to be reduced instantly.

The remaining four were either hit on the foredeck or directly to the side. As long as the pirate warship is hit in the side, there is basically no chance of survival.

Grab the T-prefix!

When the warships heard the order of Commander Ou Yangming, they immediately adjusted the attitude of the battleships, took the initiative first, and opened fire as soon as possible.

Seizing the T-shaped prefix is very important for naval warfare, that is, to form a situation in which more fights are few, and can effectively give full play to the superiority of warships in firepower. Once the T-prefix is seized by the opponent, your own battleship will become a dish in the opponent's mouth.

The pirates were very depressed, and opened fire from such a distance, which was an existence that the pirate warship could not fight. The artillery in the hands of the pirates is basically all solid bullets, and if you want to hit, you must close the distance, otherwise, you will just be beaten.

The problem is that the other party's Qin Jun is not a fool, how can he let the pirates get closer.

In naval warfare, under the adjustment of the fire control system, adjustments are constantly made, but the opponent is dealt a fatal blow. Sometimes more than ten rounds fail to hit the target, and sometimes a single shot can hit the target.

After all, it is very difficult to shoot at moving targets.

Now the fire control system is not computer-controlled, it is done by hand. To put it bluntly, it is the most primitive computer, a machine specially used to calculate wind direction, wind speed, target, and range.

The Qin Navy once again grabbed the T-shaped prefix and fired at the first time. It was the fourth round of firing, and it worked very well, with eight shells hitting the target.

The pirate commander was depressed to death, and this situation of being beaten could not be reversed, and he saw that his warships were sunk by the other side.

Taking advantage of the time to seize the T-shape, the Qin army fired three rounds of cannonballs, each of which was successful, sinking six pirate ships and wounding several ships.

The sea was too wide, and the Qin army attacked from both sides, but it was unsuccessful, allowing the pirate ship to take advantage of the situation to kill it. The goal of the pirate ship is simple, it is to stare at the merchant.

The problem is that Ye Tong's merchant ship also has artillery, although there is only one 75mm gun, it is not powerless, plus there are five warships, so he is not afraid of pirates at all.

After ten rounds of the Qin warships, nearly twenty pirate warships were destroyed, and the rest of the pirate ships approached the merchant ships. Under the command of Ou Yangming, five warships immediately came out to strike at the pirate ship.

Thundered!

The Qin navy killed from both sides, firing at the pirate ship, hitting each round, although not all of them were fatal, but each round could cause damage to the pirate ship.

The merchant ships of the Qin army immediately evaded and did not fight with the pirate ships. Because there was no need, those pirate ships were not even enough to fight the escort formation, and the merchant ships were shot in that round.

Thundered!

In the fifteenth round of shelling, nearly 20 shells hit the target, directly sank three ships, and together with several injuries, the pirate ship suffered heavy losses at once.

Seeing that it was about to be killed next to the merchant ship, the problem was that the merchant ship of the Qin army was not a dead thing, it would also run, and it would give pirates a chance.

Grab the T-prefix!

The Qin army grabbed the T-prefix again, and opened the mother to shell the pirates, carrying out three rounds of shelling in a row. After a period of shelling, the Qin army shot more and more accurately, and the effect became better and better.

Three rounds of artillery bombardment, a total of five pirate ships were sunk, and the results were very good.

An hour later, the Qin escort sank 37 pirate ships and damaged nearly 40 through more than 20 rounds of artillery bombardment.

The Qin army did not sink the battleship, but only received some additional injuries, it had nothing to do with it, the Qin army's battleship was rough and thick-skinned, and only a few soldiers were injured.

The Qin army did not pursue the remaining pirate warships, because it was not necessary. The task of the escort formation is to escort and maintain the safety of the caravan. You only need to repel pirates, not fight to the death. Besides, the other side is a pirate and is not afraid of casualties.

The naval battle is over, but the battlefield still has to be cleaned.

The Qin army began to rescue pirates in the water, not the benevolence of the Qin army, but the fine tradition of the navy. In addition, the Qin army also needs intelligence to understand and grasp some information, so it is necessary to save people.

Ye Tong said to Han Xin beside him: "Han Xin, naval warfare is different from land warfare, right?" ”

"General, that's definitely different, naval warfare is all about playing equipment. Whoever has a good battleship will win. As for tactics, there are not many changes, it's just a matter of grabbing the T-head. ”

Ye Tong was speechless, and the current naval battle seemed to be just as Han Xin said. But what? Once there are aircraft carriers in the war, the situation does not have to be the same.

The Qin army rescued the pirates who had fallen into the water and interrogated the pirates. After an interrogation, it was learned that this group of pirates belonged to Niu Niu's family.

Ye Tong opened his mouth and stammered after hearing this, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Niu Niu?

Ye Tong, who came back to his senses, asked, "Why did the pirates of the Niu Niu family run away to the Indian Ocean?" ”

It's really unexpected, under normal circumstances, the pirates of the Niu Niu family should be in the Atlantic! After all, if the pirates of the Niu Niu family want to run to the Indian Ocean, they need to make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, which is far from the truth.

Ou Yangming shrugged his arms and replied helplessly: "General, the pirates of the Niu Niu family are very famous, through interrogation, the pirates said that they had met the Qin army when they were in the Southern Continent, and they were beaten by the Qin navy, so they ran to the Indian Ocean. ”

"General Ouyang, have you figured out the pirate's old groove?"

"General, this group of pirates has no old groove, they have been drifting in the sea, and they will return when the time comes, they are national pirates."

"Ou Yangming, tell Zhou Yu today's battle report, let Zhou Yu pay attention, don't let this gang of pirates carry out a sneak attack."

"Yes!"

Niu Niu?

After Ou Yangming left, Ye Tong kept thinking about Niu Niu.

Could it be that Niu Niu discovered the Eastern Continent?

If Niu Niu discovers the Eastern Continent, the Qin army will definitely have a fight with Niu Niu in the Eastern Continent. The Qin army in the Eastern Continent must be taken, this cannot be questioned, no matter how difficult it is, it must be taken.

It's just that Niu Zhan broke through and inserted a leg, and he was very unhappy.

Of course, this matter has not yet been decided, and only when the Eastern Continent is taken over will the specific situation be clear, I hope that Niu Niu will not find out and get it smoothly.

A few hours later, the salvage was over, and more than 2,000 pirates were rescued, and the rest of the pirates who fell into the water were estimated to be dead.

More than a dozen wounded warships were captured, and tens of thousands of gold were seized from the warships, and the rest of the materials were not counted. As for the pirate's warships, they are really useless to the Qin army, they are all wind-powered and motorized dual-purpose warships.

The useless pirate warship will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea, and it is impossible to stay and continue to harm people.

The danger was lifted, and the fleet moved on.

Han Xin asked: "General, we should stay in the body poison for a few days, and it is best to take a dock in the body poison, so that there will be a place to stay when the navy sails in the future." ”

After hearing this, Ye Tong immediately spread out the map, pointed to another place and said, "Han Xin, General Ben originally wanted to take this place and use it as a base for the navy. ”

The place Ye Tong refers to must be an island country in the Indian Ocean, and it is estimated that there was no founding at this time, and it should still be an indigenous tribe. Because of the proximity to body poison, there must be a large population in that place.
