"Understood!"

Mr. Qian had no choice but to agree.

In fact, he also hoped that a miracle would happen, and he could shoot the grape bomb 150 zhang away. Perhaps, there is something strange about this sea area that can make the grapes catapult farther. Otherwise, why did the grape shells of enemy ships have twice the range of their own? There's no reason for that! They are regular Dengzhou sailors.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Sure enough, Fukubune soon began firing grapeshot.

A series of iron eggs, brushing across the sky above the sea, like a flock of frightened black seabirds, mighty, covering the sky, and then ...... Bunches fell on the surface of the sea.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Countless splashes were splashed up, forming a beautiful water curtain, the water curtain is beautiful, so that everyone who sees it feels pleasing to the eye. However, there is still a distance of about 50 zhang from the enemy ship. You can't hit the enemy at all, and it's a complete waste to use grapeshot. I had no choice but to continue to use solid bullets.

"!"

"Scare Lao Tzu!"

On the No. 3 Cangshan boat, Cheng Lei quietly stuck out his tongue.

Just now, the Dengzhou sailor fired a salvo of grape bombs, and Cheng Lei's heart was still slightly tight. For the power of this thing, Cheng Lei has a deep understanding of it. Even if he is very not afraid of death, he is also a little afraid of grape bombs. No way, there are fifty people on his ship. The size of the Cangshan ship is inherently small and the personnel are relatively dense. If he had been hit by the enemy's grape bullet, perhaps half of the fifty men would have been removed.

"Damn!"

"Lao Tzu was also scared!"

Liu Dong next to him also said to himself.

So far, they haven't had a chance to make a move.

The range of the Tiger Ben Gun must be within a distance of 300 meters in order to exert its power. It's not that distance yet. Seeing the enemy ship firing grapeshot, Liu Dong was also shocked. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm a little unwilling. In case he was reimbursed by the enemy's grape bomb at this time, he was not reconciled. Their tiger guns haven't been launched yet! didn't even have a chance to shoot, he was killed, and he was unwilling to say anything. Fortunately, the grapeshotfire of the enemy ships could not hit their ships.

"it!"

"Brothers, keep it up!"

"hard! it! ”

Finding that the grape bullets of the enemy ship could not hit him, Cheng Lei immediately roared.

All the gunners threw off their coats and went straight into battle bare-chested. The rounds of shelling and bombarding each other were enough to make every soldier who participated in the battle so enthusiastic that he forgot about the cold at all. Liu Dong and the other soldiers were not idle, they temporarily put the tiger guns away, and helped to put bags of iron eggs in small cloth bags, and then put them next to the gunners.

In fact, grapeshot bombs are not ready-made, they are all temporarily assembled. Just a bag, the most rudimentary cotton bag, put a lot of iron eggs up, tie the mouth of the bag tightly, it's a grape bomb. If you don't have iron eggs, you can use gravel instead. If you don't have gravel, you can also bounce a semini inside. After the grape shell is loaded, it is placed in the chamber of the cannon and sprinkled with black powder around it, which is considered ready.

When Cheng Lei and the others were busy, the other two Cangshan ships were also staging the same scene. Everyone worked together to pour more grapes on each other's heads. Seriously, naval warfare is really shell-consuming relative to land warfare. The most basic kung fu of the competition between the two sides is actually to see who has more firepower. On the top of every Cangshan ship, basically except for gunpowder, it is iron eggs.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

At the same time as the Dengzhou Navy Division counterattacked, the cannon sound of the Cangshan ship became more and more violent.

A large amount of grapes were poured and satisfactory results were quickly obtained. Grapeballs continued to fall on the Fu ship, causing great trouble to the warships of the Dengzhou Naval Division. A large number of people were killed and wounded. Even Guo Lin himself had to enter the cabin to avoid being hit by grape bombs.

As a result, there was no one on the deck outside. It doesn't matter if there is no one on the deck, but there can never be no one on the mast. In a naval battle, no one sails, so you can imagine what the effect is. However, a large number of grape bombs poured down, which frightened the sailors of the lucky ship.

Grapegres were fired in rows, and no one knew how many there were, let alone where they would fall from. If it falls from the top of the mast, all the sailors on the mast will suffer. Think about it, when a hailstorm falls, can the people on the mast escape? In fact, although it did not fall directly on the mast, there were already sporadic grape bullets, hitting the mast.

I can't say it, the people on the mast will also run down and run for their lives. As a result, the sails were uncontrolled and could not be adjusted to the wind in time. Of course, the maneuverability of the warship was seriously affected. You can only drive with your surname. Although Guo Lin kept waving his waist knife, threatening the sailors to go out and go up to the mast to adjust the sails, they were still lying in the cabin and refused to go out due to the threat of grape bombs.

Listening to the continuous hail of iron falling on the deck, all the officers and men of the Dengzhou Naval Division were gloomy. They couldn't believe that they had been beaten so badly by three mosquito boats. Slowly, everyone's gloom merged into one thought:

Escape!

Escape back to Dengzhou!

Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan!

If you stay here, you can only die in vain!

The other party's grape bomb is so powerful, and he continues to entangle with the other party, isn't this looking for death?

"My lord, let's get out of here!"

"My lord, we are not opponents, let's withdraw!"

"My lord, before the enemy ship is completely close, retreat!"

By Guo Lin's side, the officers screamed in horror and anxiety.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat!"

"Hurry up and get back!"

Guo Lin hurriedly shouted.

He was also frightened by the fierce grape bullets of the enemy ship, and did not dare to continue to entangle. Although withdrawing from the battle, for Guo Lin, it was unwilling. However, if he does not withdraw from the battle, perhaps some of his subordinates, who are usually not very obedient, will carry out military admonitions against him. The hero does not suffer the immediate loss, Guo Lin can only order a retreat immediately.

Soon, the three lucky ships all turned around and fled to the southeast, quickly widening the distance between them and the three Cangshan ships. As the enemy ships fled, grape shells continued to fall on their decks. However, the grapeshot could not seriously damage the enemy ship, and the three lucky ships still began to escape without any problems.

"My lord, the Dengzhou Sailor is about to escape, are we going to pursue it?"

Zhou Zhengyu asked expectantly.

"Let them go."

Zhang Zhun said lightly.

If these were Tartar ships, Zhang Zhun would definitely not let the other party go. Eliminate all evil, and kill the Tartars cleanly. However, everyone is Han Chinese, and the other party is not Han Annihilation, so let's let them go. It is said that the Dengzhou sailor still made a lot of efforts in fighting Tartars. If they were all sunk, Dongjiang Town's power against the Tartars would be weakened.

It's his own people who kill, and it's Tartars who are cheap, Zhang Zhun won't do such a brain-dead thing. Although everyone's position may be different at the moment, there is no need to rush to exterminate. Perhaps, I can still laugh at the enmity and hatred in the future. Who can say what will happen in the future?

"Understood!"

Zhou Zhengyu agreed, and soon raised the flag of the ceasefire.

The three Cangshan ships, which were preparing to pursue, slowly withdrew.

As a result, the three lucky ships of the Dengzhou Navy Division were able to escape smoothly.

It wasn't until he was out of range of grape bullets that Guo Lin came to his senses. Thinking of his majestic arrival, but he wanted to go back with his armor in disarray, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. After all, he was a dignified Dengzhou sailor, but he was defeated by three enemy ships the size of mosquitoes, and after he went back, he didn't know where to put his face. Ruan Dacheng's side, there is no way to explain. In a fit of rage, Guo Lin shouted a little violently: "Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

No one answered.

All the officers, all were silent.

Do you still need someone to tell? The facts are here. The Dengzhou sailor wanted to quietly give Zhang Zhun a dismount, but as a result, he was hit head-on by Zhang Zhun and showed a bigger dismount. If they hadn't taken the initiative to retreat, at this point, maybe the ships would have been fought by the other side's gang, and they would have had to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing that all the officers under his command were silent, Guo Lin became more and more angry, feeling that his prestige had been greatly challenged. He pointed at an officer and shouted, "Yao Longsheng, what the hell is going on?" ”

Yao Longsheng, who was named by name, looked around helplessly, and said in a low voice: "General, if I say that we were tricked by the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai, will you want to cut off my head?" In fact, we all know that even Yang Tiansheng's subordinates suffered a big loss when they attacked Fushan City and had to retreat. However, the governor did not mention it. ”

Guo Lin was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and he said in a lost voice: "What? Yang Tiansheng? Yang Tiansheng was repelled by Zhang Zhun? ”

Although the Dengzhou sailors basically only operate in the Bohai Sea and rarely go south, it is impossible for them not to know about characters like Zheng Zhilong, Yang Tiansheng, Yan Siqi, and Liu Xiang. It's all about living at sea, so of course you have to pay attention to it. Yang Tiansheng's prestige is of course not as good as Zheng Zhilong, but compared to the Dengzhou Sailor, it is much stronger. In Yang Tiansheng's hands, there are at least dozens of gunboats.

Guo Lin never expected that even Yang Tiansheng's subordinates would suffer at the hands of Zhang Zhun. This Zhang Zhun is really tough! When Ruan Dacheng explained the matter to himself, he never mentioned it. Ruan Dacheng said that in Zhang Zhun's hands, there were no gunboats at all. As long as the Dengzhou sailor goes south, he can be successful...... Well, it's the ship to the end. Therefore, Guo Lin didn't even know about Zhang Zhun's subordinates and three more gunboats. encountered Zhang Zhun's gunboat today, and was completely caught off guard.

Damn, Ruan Dacheng, you're a cheat!

Yao Longsheng looked around and continued to whisper: "We also learned about it by accident, and there has never been a formal channel to tell us. But we believe that these things are true. Zhang Zhun even cleaned up Tian Hengdao's tartars, what can Yang Tiansheng do with him? If it weren't for Zhang Zhun's scruples, such a big loss, would Yang Tiansheng be able to endure it? ”

Guo Lin was shocked and said stupidly: "This Zhang Zhun! ”

With a wave of his hand, he asked all the officers to step away, he needed to calm down.

It wasn't until there was no one around him that Guo Lin scolded stupidly: "Ruan Dacheng, I'll your whole family!" Dare to pit me! ”

…… After such an artillery battle, the sea trial of the three Cangshan ships can be described as an unprecedented success. It was a real battle. All the data was extracted during the battle. The morale of the naval soldiers in the first battle made Zhang Zhun very satisfied. Putting aside the technical aspects for the time being, Zhang Zhun wants this energy. As long as the Navy continues to maintain this momentum, there will be no invincible opponent. So, Zhang Zhun ordered to return.

During the voyage, the relevant data were also counted. The casualties of the enemy are not known for the time being. The Navy itself, there were no casualties. The amount of ammunition consumed is relatively large. Of these, more than 50 rounds of solid ammunition were consumed. More than 13,000 iron eggs were consumed. The consumption of gunpowder was more than 600 catties. Seeing these data, Zhang Zhun has only one word: poor! The attrition of an encounter is so big, and the scale of the battle will increase in the future, so what's the point?

It seems that we have to find a way to get more gunpowder. The consumption of gunpowder in this naval battle is like flowing water. Three Cangshan ships are so powerful, there will be dozens of Cangshan ships in the future, and even, hundreds of Cangshan ships, how much black powder is enough? However, if you save gunpowder, you have to pay for human lives, or for warships.

Come to think of it, it is cheaper to start with gunpowder. I hope that after taking Jimo and Jiaozhou and other places, I can get more gunpowder. There is Xue Zhidie in shipbuilding, and Sun Qinkai in cannon casting, in terms of making gunpowder, is it necessary to vigorously tap some talents?

With the joy of victory, the fleet smoothly returned to the Partridge Bay military port.

Because the battle took place at a relatively distant place, the Partridge Bay military port is not known for the time being. Everything here seems very calm. The crowd that used to watch the ceremony has gradually dispersed. Only busy workers, in the orderly expansion of the dockyard, began to build more warships.

Zhang Zhun got off the boat and found that in the crowd waiting for him, there was actually a smiling Shen Lingfei. Shen Lingfei didn't know what to be happy about, as if it was a flower butterfly. Zhang Zhun asked casually, "What is so happy?" ”

Shen Lingfei said diligently: "Didn't you ask me to help you find a few Qinglou women?" I've found one! Sisi has brought her here! ”

Zhang Zhun asked casually, "Who?" ”

Shen Lingfei replied with a smile: "Liu Ruyi!" ”
