With the low roar of the engine, the battleship pilot pulled the throttle lever to the bottom, and the six big ships drove at full speed upwind, while the Zheng family's fleet was still changing course, obviously slower by more than a beat.

Zheng Zhibao, who was holding a monocular clairvoyant to observe, quickly changed his face.

"Hey, my lord, how could Jin Shanwei's ship be so fast."

The deputy general naturally saw it, and couldn't help but gasp, and screamed.

"Quick, get up!"

Zheng Zhibao can no longer remain calm, fortunately, he is worthy of the veteran of the battlefield, and he made a decision in an instant, Jin Shanwei's boat is somehow going on, the speed is amazing, and he can't run, only by going up can he have a trace of vitality.

If you open the distance, with the sharpness of Jinshanwei's artillery, you can only be beaten passively.

The sailors hurried to turn the rudder and rushed straight towards Jin Shanwei's warship.

But it was still useless, Jin Shanwei's boat was too fast, and it made Zheng Zhibao completely desperate.

Successfully grabbed the upper hand, Li Chuan decisively ordered: "Fire on me." ”

Huang Tianxiang quickly passed the order, and said with an excited face: "It's less than five miles, and this distance is just enough to give full play to the lethality of artillery." With the speed of our warship, this time we will definitely be able to completely rape the Zheng family's fleet. ”

Before the words fell, the early boats lined up on the sea, and a wave of shells had already been fired.

Six large ships, each equipped with twenty improved mortars, with Levin's current ability, it is not impossible to get better artillery, but the cost of those cannons is really a bit scary, and the real cannon is ten thousand taels of gold.

With Li Chuan's net worth, he can't afford to consume it.

Although the consumption of mortars is also not small, it is much cheaper than those high-power and high-precision artillery.

One hundred and twenty shells were fired out in an instant and landed in the Zheng family's fleet.

Hundreds of water columns rose into the sky, and at least ten shells hit the Zheng family's warship.

In the midst of the terrible howl, the warship hit by the cannonball instantly became a hell on earth.

The lethality of the lethal grenades from later generations was too terrifying, and it was just a volley, and the Fujian Navy was stunned.

"Yes, there is progress!"

Li Chuan held the telescope to see clearly, and couldn't help but praise.

Huang Tianxiang was also very excited, and said with a grin: "Wasted so much artillery training, such a close distance, the Zheng family's fleet has more than thirty warships, if such a big target still misses the shells, the small ones will not peel the skin of those gunners." ”

Two kilometers away.

"My lord, no."

The deputy's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he hissed to Zheng Zhibao: "Jin Weishan's artillery is too sharp, and more than half of the warships that have been hit by the lifeline have suffered casualties, and they are no longer able to control the ship. ”

"Withdraw!"

Zheng Zhibao clenched his fists, his fingernails pierced his palms, and blood slowly flowed down, but he didn't notice it, staring at the six Jinshanwei warships at least four miles away, his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

This order was very difficult to make, but Zheng Zhibao knew in his heart that there was no chance.

He had also seen the wave of shelling just now, and coupled with his personal experience last year, he knew better than anyone how sharp Jin Shanwei's artillery was. In that wave of artillery bombardment just now, there were at least 100 artillery pieces, and the firepower was ten times denser than when he led the army to attack Jinshanwei last year, and with the terrifying firing speed of Jinshanwei's artillery, it only took dozens of breaths to complete ten rounds of artillery bombardment.

With such terrifying firepower, I am afraid that before I can get closer, all the warships will have to be beaten into slag.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The shouts on the Zheng family's warship came and went, and all the soldiers were completely frightened by the round of shelling, but before they could turn around, the second round of shells had already whizzed down on the fleet.

In the midst of the howls, seven more ships were hit by artillery.

Several warships were hit by more than two shells, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Zheng Zhibao's eyes wept blood, and he couldn't wait to swim over from the sea to fight with Li Chuan.

"The surname is Li, my Zheng family is not finished with you."

Zheng Zhibao raised his head to the sky and roared, angry and almost wanted to tear the sky, remembering the ten cannons that Zheng Xing bought from Jinshanwei last time, the anger was even more intense, there is no doubt that those ten cannons pitted Zheng's family.

Originally, the principals of the Zheng family had the same idea as Zheng Xing, as long as they bought the cannon back, even if it was imitated, with the Zheng family's manpower and material resources, they were confident that they could find a craftsman to imitate it, but the result gave the Zheng family a blow to the head.

No matter how you research, there is only one final result, a bore.

Don't say people who don't understand firearms, even if they are craftsmen who understand firearms, they don't know what the problem is, Lenovo Zheng Xing didn't see the loading process and what the shells were like when he watched Jin Shanwei's gunners fire the shells, and finally some craftsmen guessed that the problem might be in the shells, but what is the mystery, no matter how clever the craftsmen of this era can not understand.

The Zheng family was about to escape, and Jin Shanwei's navy was immediately excited.

This battle is also too cool, it is simply naked crushing and ravaging.

"Chase!"

Li Chuan gave an order, and the five big ships immediately turned around and chased after them at full speed.

As for the flagship, it did not chase the defeated army of the Zheng family, but chased after Gu San Mazi who had escaped.

A few miles away, Gu Sanmazi, who was still running away for his life, looked back and was instantly dumbfounded.

"Big brother, the Zheng family has escaped."

Turning Jianglong was also a little dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"There is such a sharp artillery in the world that strikes the enemy from miles away."

Gu San's mouth was a little trembling, and for the first time, he felt that he had seen a lot.

No wonder they are as strong as the Zheng family, and they don't dare to provoke Jin Shanwei easily. No matter how strong the Fujian naval army is, most of the time the naval battle is only won by hand-to-hand combat after breaking through the enemy ship, after all, there are still many deficiencies and defects in the muskets and muskets of this era.

However, Jin Shanwei's artillery firing speed subverted Gu Sanmazi's cognition.

If he had such a sharp artillery, what would the Zheng family have.

"Big brother, one of Jin Shanwei's boats has caught up, so fast."

Turning Jianglong exclaimed again and summoned Gu Sanmazi's soul back.

"This ......"

Gu Sanmazi's face changed, and when he was thinking about what to do, a cannonball whistled and landed on the sea hundreds of meters away from the fleet, making Gu Sanmazi a big start, and his eyes were fiercely condensed.

"Big brother, what now?"

Turning Jianglong's face also changed, and the two of them turned several thoughts in an instant, and instantly understood that this was a deterrent, otherwise judging from the preparation of the Jinshanwei artillery to shell the Zheng family's fleet just now, it would not have been possible to deviate so far.

The only possibility, and that is deterrence.

Gu San Mazi was still thinking about it, and he would definitely not be able to beat it, but ......

Turning Jianglong didn't give him time to think about it, and said in a loud voice: "Catch up, hiss, such a fast speed, I'm afraid that we will be caught up within ten miles, what should I do, Jin Shanwei is too deceitful, does the surnamed Li still want to start a war with us and the Zheng family at the same time?" ”

"Surrender!"

After Gu San Mazi's face changed several times, he finally made a decision.

"What, surrender?"

Turning Jianglong jumped up in disbelief: "Big brother, fight with the one surnamed Li." ”

Gu San Mazi glared at him fiercely and said, "You go and ask the brothers if they want to fight hard?" ”

"This ......"

Turning Jianglong turned his head to take a look, and saw that the sailors around him were all panicked, and he was instantly deflated.
