At that moment, the sound of artillery roared, and Cui Niang couldn't stay in Zhang Zhijie's cabin anymore and ran out. She also saw the magnificent scene of the naval battle of hundreds of warships, the scene of the destruction of the world with the roar of artillery, and the sinking of the sea ships at sea.

Cui Niang's face became a little pale, she knew that Liu Liangsan was a pirate, and he lived a life of fighting and killing, and she also thought that it would be very dangerous, but she was far from the shock of what she had seen in person.

Seeing that so many pirate ships were sunk under the bombardment of the naval artillery, she was very worried about Liu Liangsan. The artillery doesn't have long eyes, but Liu Liangsan is in the pirate fleet.

At this time, Cui Niang was really puzzled, the warships of the imperial court were so powerful, why didn't Zhao Dabeard accept the court's recruitment? If you accept the court's recruitment, won't you have to suffer heavy casualties?

Cui Niang walked up to Zhang Zhijie with some concern, and asked with concern: "Lord Admiral, we are in charge, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled and pointed to the flotilla at the back in the distance and smiled: "See? The last fleet is the one behind them, and now they are attacking the ships of these pirates in the back, and these pirates are only rushing forward, not attacking the ships behind, so there should be no danger to your masters! ”

After hearing Zhang Zhijie's words, Cui Niang immediately understood, and after a closer look, she found that this was really the case. The flotilla behind only fired artillery attacks, but they were not attacked, so Liu Liangsan was indeed very safe.

Cui Niang, who was originally worried, immediately breathed a sigh of relief, carefully observed the battlefield, and found that the pirate's ships were only rushing forward, and the cannon could not be hit accurately at all, so it could only be used as a target to be attacked by the imperial artillery.

Isn't that a sure win?! Cui Niang couldn't help but smile and asked with a smile: "Lord Admiral, the artillery of the imperial court is accurate one by one, and Zhao Dabeard's artillery is not accurate at all, isn't this a sure win?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "That's because pirates are not good at artillery attacks, and they are good at broadside melee combat, so their plan is to rush over directly, and then play the broadside melee they are good at." So the real test is yet to come! ”

Cui Niang didn't seem to understand when she heard it, but she at least understood that the war was far from over, and a more tragic scene seemed to be coming.

Although Zhang Zhijie said to Cui Niang that the real test was still to come, there was no worried look on his face. He also knew that these pirates regarded the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division as soft eggs, but Zhang Zhijie had his own support.

This time, he took the fleet to Nanjing, not only to replace the ship with artillery, but also to pay for rockets, firecrackers, crossbow arrows, and other melee things Zhang Zhijie did not lose money. So his fleet was not only good for artillery.

Zhang Zhijie personally pressed the formation and conducted a training camp at sea, and although the officers and men of the naval division could not be said to have been reborn, their casual appearance had also changed greatly compared with before, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly improved. After all, Zhang Zhijie is also the one who led the army twice, and he is also very good at training.

Not only that, Zhang Zhijie didn't expect a naval battle this time, so he didn't take the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to the south, but brought the warriors of the 3,000 battalion and the good hands of the Jinyi Guard. Zhang Zhijie also brought all these people on the ship.

Although they do not know how to fire a gun, they are very powerful, strong in close combat, and proficient in bows and crossbows. During this time, they trained with the fleet, and they were also accustomed to the bumps on the ship, and their combat power did not weaken because they came to sea.

Although he knew that these pirates were good at broadside battles and were very brave, Zhang Zhijie had three layers of protection, so he was so calm.

The ships of both sides are gradually approaching, and the pirates on the pirate ship are waving their blades and shouting one by one, and many pirates are also starting to shoot with homemade bows and arrows, but most of them have landed on the sea, and the distance is not yet there! They are intimidating each other by making such noise, and when they rob at sea, this trick is very effective.

However, this move did not have much effect on the people of the naval fleet, and those officers and men drawn by Zhang Zhijie from the coastal guard post were also very confident, so they were not afraid of battle. As for the Jinyi Guard and the warriors of the 3,000 battalions that Zhang Zhijie brought out from Beijing, they are even less afraid!

They fought with Zhang Zhijie, and the scene they saw was great! This shouting pirate really looks like a rabble. Before the war, he was there waving his weapon and shouting, didn't he consume his strength in vain?

The pirate's homemade bow and arrow could not be shot, but the bow and arrow of the imperial sailor could, and they were already preparing at this time, and all the ships were closely watching the approaching pirate ships, and when they saw that they were in range, they shot one after another.

The pirates who had gathered together to shout and scream were suddenly killed, many of them fell to the ground with arrows, and the rest of them sought shelter. It's just that the ship is relatively empty, and it's not so easy to hide.

The whizzing of arrows came and went, accompanied by the screams of the pirates, and soon the sound of firecrackers rang out. The screams intensified, and it was clear that the pirates had suffered a lot of casualties.

After a while, the sound of a crossbow rang out. Zhao Dabeard and several of their pirate leaders turned a little blue one by one, and their subordinates suffered a lot of losses after the artillery bombardment of the imperial court sailors, thinking that they could exert their strength by rushing through the artillery.

I didn't expect the equipment of these sailors to be so complete, not only complete, but simply fully armed. Bows and arrows, firearms, crossbow arrows, aren't the sailors of the imperial court lax in armament? Is this still called slackening of armaments? He's so armed to the teeth.

Seeing his subordinates fall to the ground one after another, suffering heavy casualties, Zhao Dabeard and other pirate leaders were all stunned. Originally, they were thinking about getting close to the battle to get a chance to win, but the artillery had just stopped, but they suffered such a big blow.

Now that their numbers have plummeted, each casualty means that their hopes of victory are slimmer. Although they would also encounter resistance in melee combat when they robbed in the past, they did not encounter so many bows and crossbows and firearms, so they did not deal with it enough, and the other party was simply killing.

In the midst of the constant screams, they finally got closer and closer to the sailor's warship, and the pirates skillfully scooped up the iron hooks, prepared to bring the ships together, and then rushed up to kill them.

Zhao Dabeard and the other pirate leaders also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally rushed over, they were beaten very aggrieved along the way, and now it was finally time for them to play. Looking at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, Zhao Dabeard couldn't help but be sad and indignant.
