Since ancient times, there have always been winners who fight more and less, but if you want to win with less, it is not so simple. Especially when fighting a war at sea, there is no chance of victory.

The Dongjiang Army used 40 warships to meet nearly 100 warships of the pirates, and the disparity in strength between the two was nearly doubled.

Under normal circumstances, if the disparity in strength between the two armies is too great, they will inevitably flee without a fight. But the scene of such a desperate rush to meet the enemy army like the Dongjiang Army is indeed unexpected.

The bravery of the Dongjiang Army made the pirates immediately vigilant, but it was only vigilant. It was obviously too late for the pirates to change the formation, and the distance between the two armies was already within range of each other's artillery.

Ten vanguard warships of the Dongjiang Army opened their black muzzles early in the morning. The main gun, placed in the bow of the ship, had already been loaded. Adou silently calculated the distance between the two sides in his heart, and when the pirate fleet reached the range of the artillery, a loud roar burst out: "Open the cannon ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Ten guns of the Dongjiang Army roared, and ten solid shells whistled and smashed into the pirate fleet.

When the pirates saw that the Dongjiang Army had opened fire at such a distance, they let out a knowing smile. In their eyes, this is a sign of weakness of mind, and it is also an act of inexperience.

However, when the solid cannonball hit the targeted ship directly, the pirate could no longer laugh. Huge solid cannonballs easily smashed through the planks, and the splinters flew in the air, and the affected pirates let out a burst of screams.

The unexpected shelling gave the pirates a blow to the head, but fortunately only ten guns of the Dongjiang Army opened fire. Not a single shot was wasted, but only ten pirate ships were damaged.

"Lower the sails, fill the rudder on the left, and prepare to return fire ......"

Under the orders of the captains, the pirate warships began to train in an orderly manner and prepare to return fire against the Dongjiang Army.

However, an unexpected scene reappeared, only to see that the vanguard fleet of the Dongjiang Army, which had just entered the firing range, actually ran away without looking back after firing the artillery.

Just as the pirates were at a loss for the target of the bombardment, another twenty warships of the Dongjiang Army caught up. Twenty more guns bombarded, and the whistling shells hit the twenty pirate ships that had already been crossed with unmistakable accuracy.

Before the actual battle began, the pirates' side had already paralyzed thirty warships. The strength between the two sides was much closer, and the pirates began to get nervous now.

They knew very well that if they let the Dongjiang Army continue to fight like this, not to mention that they were more than twice the strength of the Dongjiang Army, even if they were ten times the strength, they would not be able to support it for long.

Without hesitation, the leader of the pirates knew it was not yet time to fight back. But he also understood that if he did nothing and let the Dongjiang Army fight, it was estimated that he would not even be able to fire a single shot, and he would be defeated by the Dongjiang Army.

"Shoot back, return fire, fire ......"

The pirate leader began to get hysterical, and the Dongjiang army began to come into contact with this moment, in less than half an hour. The pirates have lost nearly 50 warships, and nearly half of their troops have been lost.

The pirate warship, under the command of the captain, opened all its guns and fired back. Nearly seventy warships roared in unison, and the scene was spectacular.

In the roaring cannon sound, I saw that the air was densely packed with solid shells.

Chen Jisheng looked up at the shells that obviously couldn't hit his own warship, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain.

"Pass the order down and act according to the plan." Chen Jisheng ordered loudly.

The twenty warships of the Dongjiang Army were immediately divided into ten each, and from the left and right, the troops were divided into two ways to avoid and confront the pirate warships.

Without any suspense, the twenty warships of the Dongjiang Army escaped unharmed. There is no difference between them and the previous Adou.

The return fire of the pirate warships still did not pose any threat to the Dongjiang army, and as expected, all the shells were smashed into the sea, only to splash countless waves on the sea.

Chen Jisheng led the ten warships and just left, and the ten Dongjiang Army warships that followed closely behind them came up again.

Mao Wenlong personally ordered that within the coverage of the main artillery, open fire. Then they still escaped from the left and right flanks in five ships each, and did not confront the pirates at all.

"Damn, why can't our artillery reach the enemy's ships?"

The pirate leader roared, thumping his chest in anger, but helpless. The facts are in front of us, and the Dongjiang Army is using their artillery to shoot at a long range. calculated the distance and hit himself without the power to fight back.

No one dared to talk to the leader's roar, but that didn't mean they were okay. Unable to get the Dongjiang army angry, the leader also began to lose his mind, and actually ordered the main general of the vanguard to be killed.

This side is still angry, but unexpectedly, there is a new move on the side of the Dongjiang Army. Adou, who was the first to flee, had already driven the warship to the two wings of the pirate ship formation at this moment.

With a hideous expression on his face, he did not hesitate to order to bombard the pirate warship again with its main guns. After the cannon sounded, there was no suspense, and it was still a hundred shots.

"Reload, keep ......bombing," Adou ordered again.

And Chen Jisheng, who then set up a formation, also ordered the bombardment as soon as possible. Twenty more pirate ships were hit, and although none of them were sunk, most of them were already demoralized.

"Spread out and fight back......," the pirate leader had suddenly woken up to the tactics of the Dongjiang Army. He reacted immediately, but it was obviously too late for him to wake up, and the shelling of Chen Jisheng's twenty warships caused great psychological pressure on the pirate fleet.

As soon as the pirates reacted, the ten warships behind Mao Wenlong's palace fired another bombardment. Under the continuous blows, chaos has begun to appear on the pirate's side.

Originally, it was the pirates who surrounded the Dongjiang army, but after only two encounters, the situation was reversed. Now it is the Dongjiang Army that surrounds all the pirate ships, always keeping the pirate artillery out of reach, and relentlessly bombarding.

The pirate leader regretted it when he saw the chaos on the ships operated by his men. He immediately reacted that his previous order was inappropriate.

But the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is simply no time for the pirate leader to correct his mistakes. A mistake is a mistake, and there is no room for regret.

"The whole army rushed up to fight the Dongjiang army, even if it died with the enemy, it would not hesitate. Whoever dares to be greedy for life and afraid of death will have to lose his head. The pirate leader roared angrily.

There are still more than fifty pirate warships with the ability to maneuver, which will become more and more chaotic. This is the consequence of fragmentation, and it is something that the pirate leader did not expect.
