Qi Feng's Kaixiang was definitely a heavy blow to the pirates.

The fall of Cai Zhongfa had a far greater impact than Qi Feng had originally envisioned.

Besieging the Tianzhu envoy fleet, this decision is not so easy for those pirates on the South Sea Sea, it is the official fleet of Tianzhu, and the combat power is strong, such a deal, if it weren't for the huge deposit that everyone received from Su Sanye in advance, so that everyone had no worries, this unprecedented scale of pirate alliance would not have succeeded at all.

These pirates are each other's enemies in normal times, and the battle between the pirates and the pirates for the shipping routes in the South Seas is far more brutal than the battle they fight against passing merchant ships.

In this case, how could these pirates not be wary of each other, and it was simply delusional to let them leave behind the obsession in each other's hearts and go all out to fight together.

The pirate group on the west side of the battlefield was originally under the command of Cai Zhongfa, but now the leader was the first to be destroyed on the spot, and quite a few pirate ships behind turned around and wanted to run on the spot.

"What are you doing, how can you do this,"

Su Yanqing's envoy to the Western pirate group was in a hurry to move around the other party's ship.

"You took the money of the third master, don't think about running away like this, you are not afraid to wait for the third master to do a big thing, turn around and find you, let you all survive and not die!"

As a result, the pirates on the ship, Lai Yangyang looked at him,

"Boy, take it easy! Don't think we don't dare kill you! ”

"Look at the scene over there, if you really become the third master, you will definitely succeed? I think, your third master is talking about it now!. ”

The ship turned its head to look at the battlefield, and was also stunned when it boarded.

What about the pirates who said they would work together to kill this flock of fat sheep? Look at the Tianzhu fleet surrounded by pirates in the middle of the battlefield, where are the fat sheep of those Tianzhu sea ships, obviously all of them are tigers!

I saw that all the sea ships that were originally thought to be merchant ships were gathered together, forming a turtle formation like turtle shells in the center of the battlefield, and the pirate ships were all small boats, and the artillery hit these hulls, almost all of them tickled.

And when they got closer, the hulls of these ships were incomparably taller than ordinary pirate ships, like bastions on the sea, and the cannons on huge ships helped each other to form a cross firepower.

The pirate ships that rushed to the front bombarded one after another, and what was even more outrageous was that the guns on these merchant ships were full of power, and they bombarded the pirate ships, condescendingly, almost a cannon and a ship, and there was no missing shot.

The guns installed on the merchant ships looked slender and should never have been so powerful.

In this battle at sea, how big a ship is matched with how big a cannon is, this is basically fixed, and the power of artillery, how big the caliber is, how powerful it is, this is not the slightest bit false.

How can these merchant ships be loaded with so many cannons, and the cannons mounted on these merchant ships do not seem to have a large caliber, how can they be far more powerful than usual?

This difference in common sense caused the pirates to be completely caught off guard by this group of Tianzhu merchant ships. The first pirate ships to surround themselves were sunk in just a few moments, and more than a hundred ships were sunk.

The entire ocean was covered with blood, and the broken planks of the ship were slowly floating on the water.

At first, the pirates thought that the merchant ship left in place was a soft persimmon, but who knew that this soft persimmon had turned into a flesh-eating tiger in the blink of an eye!

Who would have thought that this group of armed merchant ships would have such fierce firepower!

It seems that the consequences of today's battle may not be as everyone thinks!

Several bigwigs in the Pirate Alliance have already faintly had some bad feelings, and the convener of the Pirate Alliance this time, Su Yanqing and Su Sanye, were even more shocked that his old face was blue, his hands trembled, and his lips trembled:

"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

The artillery that frightened the pirates was naturally the magic weapon that Li Zhe prepared for himself.

He comes from later generations and is a resolute supporter of the science and technology route, how could he not leave some back hands for himself.

A time-traveler from the afterlife, who came here, has a lot of power in his hands, how to let go of such an opportunity.

This era is the era of naval warfare, and none of the true hegemons of this era is to dominate the world by army alone. Therefore, after Li Zhe Mengzhou incident ended, after ascending to the position of the governor of the metropolitan governor's mansion, he went all out to concentrate the power he could control to climb the technology tree.

The master craftsmen of the clan are the main force in his hands.

As soon as he ascended to the position of Grand Governor, he couldn't wait to open up the research and development project of the steam warship in the General's Academy. This project is based on the project of the steam-powered ship that was almost abandoned.

However, this time, with Li Zhe's strong support, this steam warship project is a world of difference compared to the original steam ship project, the goal is large, and the scale of manpower and material resources is used.

In fact, when Li Zhe returned to Mengzhou this time, he already knew that the original steamship had been successful with his strong support at all costs, and on this basis, there was hope that the steam-powered wooden-hulled merchant ships and wooden-hulled warships would be launched in the next one or two years.

There is still a long way to go from Li Zhe's delusional steam ironclad ships, but only steam-powered wooden-hulled merchant ships and wooden-hulled warships are enough to establish the future maritime hegemony of the Tianzhu Domain.

In addition to the steam warship, there were also other projects that had an immediate impact, such as the continued improvement of the firecracker, such as the advancement of metal smelting and processing technology, and the upgrading of artillery technology based on it.

The artillery guns on these merchant ships were the result of these scientific research projects.

The reason why this batch of artillery is far more powerful than the pirates imagined is that this kind of artillery has surpassed the times, this is no longer the most traditional smoothbore gun of this era, but a rifled gun based on the progress of metal smelting technology, metal processing technology, and gunpowder technology, and a series of technological advances.

Rifled guns and smoothbore guns, the difference between one word is a thousand miles.

The power between the two is definitely not a level.

The rifled gun far exceeds the accuracy and penetration of the smoothbore gun, and when used in naval battles, it is really invincible!

In addition, the base of this batch of rifled guns also uses new technology and can be installed on merchant ships, so this series of changes came together to create the scene in front of us.

Around Li Zhe's fleet, the pirates who surrounded him on all sides were about to collapse, and they were all stunned by the new guns of the merchant ships.

"Run, run!"

The pirates huddled together and fled to a greater distance, but unfortunately, they would never have imagined that in addition to the accuracy and penetrating power of the new rifled guns, there was also more important in naval battles - distance!

This time, the pirates really forced Li Zhe to make a big move!
