Chapter 534: Explosion

The Yangwei fired, and the two ships on either side of the Yangwei received fifteen rounds each. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info were so close that the Fufune was like being shot with a gun to the head, and not a single shell missed. The flowering bomb broke through the thin hull of the Fubune with the help of huge kinetic energy and rushed into the hull of the Fufu. After smashing through the hull, the flowering shells still couldn't stop, shattering the compartments and watertight compartments under the hull, and shattering the bodies of all pirates who blocked the progress of the shells.

The general fortune ship is very practical when it is built, and the hull is very thin. The ironclad ship is so close that the kinetic energy of the flowering bullet is extremely large, and one of the flowering bullets even directly pierced the hull on both sides of the Fu ship, and fell into the sea behind the Fu ship with a pop.

But most of the flowering shells stayed inside the Fukubune. When the fuse burned out, the flowering bomb exploded inside the Fukubune. Twenty-nine flowering bombs spewed shock waves one after the other, blowing the inside of the two ships into a pulp.

Even a single shell exploding inside a ship will cause huge casualties and damage, let alone 14 or 15 shells exploding at once?

Li Zhi saw sparks erupt from the gun emplacement of the Fu ship on the left, and those cannons were shocked by the shock wave and rushed forward, and even stuck on the gun emporium completely. One of the flowering shells that hit the middle of the hull seemed to be stopped by something hard, did not penetrate deep into the interior of the cabin, and exploded against the hull. Sawdust burst out like fireworks, blasting a two-meter-diameter hole in the outside of the hull.

The ship on the right was blown up even worse, sparks were flying from its hull, and the entire internal structure had been blown down. The powder keg on the second deck of the ship was also ignited by the flowering bomb, which exploded even more violently, blowing off the first deck and hull. The hull of the ship had been completely blown up by the explosion of the powder keg, and a cannon was moved by the impact, rushed out of the huge breach in the hull, flew a few meters away and fell into the sea, splashing huge waves.

The pirates on the two fortune ships don't know how many were killed. On this lucky ship, there are often one or two hundred pirates, and they are bombarded like this by flowering shells, and it is said that one-third of them are killed.

The ship in front of it, which had been broken open by the Yangwei, was slowly sinking, and the pirates on board were desperately jumping into the sea. Coupled with the sailors who jumped into the sea on the two lucky boats on the left and right, the sea was full of pirates and broken wooden planks that had lost their ships, and it was a mess.

The Yangwei stepped back for a moment, shook off the sinking fortune ship, and turned slightly to chase after the other fortune ships.

Not far away, tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the side of a Fufune ship, and six shells were fired at the Yangwei. Two shells hit the target, hitting the armor of the ironclad with a clang.

However, a single lucky ship poses no threat to the ironclad ship.

Originally, in order to facilitate the shooting with Li Zhi's fleet, the Zheng family's more than 100 lucky ships were discharged in a horizontal formation. Therefore, after Li Zhi's ironclad ships rushed into the queue of Fu ships, more than a hundred Fu ships were completely stopped by the Zheng family's own ships. Except for one or two lucky ships near the ironclad ship, the other lucky ships couldn't see the ironclad ship, and they couldn't shoot at all.

Each time, the ironclad ship only had to face one or two lucky ships.

Facing the ironclad ship with the combat power of one or two lucky ships is completely crushed. The Yangwei fired at full speed, and without hesitation, it rushed towards the ship that fired the gun, and hit the ship headfirst in the belly. The hull of the Fubune was hit hard by the ironclad ship, and it fell to the right. The hull was out of balance, the cannons and supplies inside the hull were rolling everywhere, and I don't know how many pirates had been crushed to death.

Are the planks on a ship's hull a match for steel? Under the high-speed collision of the Fukubune, the impact angle smashed the thin planks into a mess. Sawdust flew in the loud crash, and the hull on the port side of the ship was shattered. The sea water poured in, and the fortune boat sank little by little.

The Yangwei seemed to be a brute bull, rushing forward more than 50 meters against this lucky ship before reversing the propeller and retreating, letting go of the "dying" lucky boat. The Fuship, which had fallen to the right, straightened its hull after the Yangwei left, but leaned to the port side again under the gravity of the sea. Eventually, the ship overturned to the left, overturned on the surface of the sea, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

The surviving pirates on board jumped off the ship and swam desperately into the distance, but many of them were swept into the depths of the sea by the whirlpool of the shipwreck and lost their lives.

Ten ironclad ships were like ten beasts, rampage in the queue of more than a hundred lucky ships. In front of the war machine far beyond this era, the Zheng family's fortune ship is as fragile as papier-mâché. It only took about ten minutes, and the Fu ships of the Zheng family's fleet lost more than forty ships.

The Zheng family's fleet was completely defeated.

The lucky ships have lost the courage to fight each other, how can this ironclad ship be matched by manpower? More than 20,000 pirates were loaded on more than 100 lucky ships, which were originally prepared for hand-to-hand combat, but at this time, they were completely useless. As soon as the ship is hit by the ironclad ship, it will be sunk, how to fight this broadside battle? If the fight continues, I am afraid that all the more than 20,000 water thieves will be buried in the belly of the fish.

The ships abandoned the queue and fled west, south, and north, scattering in all directions. The Zheng family fleet has given up all resistance and can no longer be called a fleet. Even the flagship ship of the Zheng family's fleet, the Dafu ship, did not dare to stay on the battlefield at all, and fled westward without hesitation, hoping to escape back to the old nest of Jinjiang.

The other nine ironclad ships were like nine ferocious beasts, chasing down the fleeing Zheng fleet on the undulating sea.

With a wave of his hand, the Yangwei ignored the nearby fortune ship and rushed directly towards the largest fortune ship. The ship, which had more than thirty heavy guns, was apparently the flagship of the Zheng clan.

When the sailors on the Daifuku ship saw the ironclad ship chasing after them, they used their sails and oars together and fled westward with all their might. The Yangwei chased after it, and after chasing for a quarter of an hour, it finally forced it to three hundred meters away from the Daifuku ship.

The Yangwei made a rudder motion and aimed its port side at Daifuku a few hundred meters away. The cannon was pulled violently, and fifteen shells shot straight out of the muzzle and flew towards the Daifuku ship not far away.

The stern of the Daifuku ship was shot, and four shells were fired into the interior of the Fukuku, and they exploded with a bang.

Only one shelling made the Daifuku ship lose its fighting spirit. The pirates of the Zheng family lowered the hard sail and the Zheng character flag, and hung up the white flag.

Li Zhi was stunned when he saw that the Dafu ship surrendered so happily, and secretly said Could it be that Zheng Zhilong was not on this ship?

Soon, the soldiers who boarded the ship to search tied up all the pirates on the Daifuku ship and returned to the Yangwei.

"Grandpa Guo, Zheng Zhilong and his brother are not on this boat, they know that this big fortune ship is too dazzling, so they fled to other small fortune ships and escaped."

Li Zhi snorted coldly.

"If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple, let's go to Fujian to copy the Zheng family's lair!"
