Today's first update is delivered! Chaolian Island is an island about 50 miles away from the mouth of Mawan, and long-range artillery can directly threaten the mouth of Mawan, so the geographical location is very important. 935 In later generations, Chaolian Island was a very important coastal defense base, and both coastal artillery and naval aviation arranged troops to be stationed here. To this day, Asallen Island is not entirely open to the public, and visitors can only visit the designated area.

But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chaolian Island was still a blank. There are no settled residents on the island, no decent buildings, and no tourists come to play. The only people who appear on the island are sporadic fishermen. The Tiger Ben Army was on Chaolian Island, and it was not deployed to prevent heatstroke. Because, Zhang Zhun did not have manpower, and there was no need to deploy military forces on Chaolian Island.

After Yang Tiansheng's fleet arrived at the coast of Shandong, it temporarily anchored near Chaolian Island to overhaul warships, reorganize combat preparations, and prepare for a big battle with the Huben Navy. At the same time, Yang Tiansheng sent a light clipper to Mawan to investigate the movement and understand the reality of the Tiger Army.

He felt that the previous repeated failures in the hands of Zhang Zhun were all because he did not understand Zhang Zhun's reality and fell for Zhang Zhun's plan. Now, he came in person, and of course he couldn't make such a mistake. In fact, Yang Tiansheng can't bear such a mistake again, if he loses this time, everything he has will come to naught.

Yang Pengling was more anxious, and wanted to personally understand the reality of the Huben Army, so he took five armed merchant ships to cruise nearby. He wanted to give the Tiger Army a little color. It would be better if Zhang Zhun knew the difficulty and retreated. Yang Gongzi learned Sun Tzu's Art of War, "knowing that a soldier who surrenders without a fight is a strategy."

"Childe, find the enemy ship!"

Suddenly, his subordinates reported to Yang Pengling.

Yang Pengling raised the clairvoyant mirror to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a small Cangshan ship, quietly appearing from the northeast. The Cangshan ship appeared alone on the sea, not accompanied by any other ships. The red flag on its mast was clearly the military flag of the Tiger Army. Since it is hoisting the military flag of the Tiger Army, it is naturally the warship of the Tiger Army.

"Knock it out!"

Yang Pengling immediately shouted.

The Tiger Ben Army is actually such a small boat, and it seems that his worries "are completely unnecessary." He was originally a little worried about the strength of the Tiger Ben Army, for fear that the Yang family's fleet would not be able to eat Zhang Zhun, but now, he was completely relieved. Such sparrow ships, not to mention many, easily knock out one or two hundred, that is no problem at all. The Yang family's fleet pulls out a warship at random, "It's much bigger than these sparrow ships."

Of course, this Cangshan ship may also be a patrol ship of the Tiger Ben Army, and the main warships are hidden behind and are not dispatched. However, it doesn't matter, even if it's a patrol ship of the Tiger Army's navy, "it has to be knocked out." This is a small dismount for Zhang Zhun. If Zhang Zhun is interested, he will obediently cooperate and let Shandong out.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

Five armed merchant ships immediately surrounded the area, firing incessantly.

These five armed merchant ships have a total of nearly 100 guns, and if they fire together, they are still relatively powerful. The rumbling sound of artillery resounded through the nearby sea, and the shock caused by the recoil of the shelling made the surrounding sea water constantly stir up, and finally formed a wave of huā, which continued to drift around.

The armed merchant ship fired solid bullets, solid iron balls, which swept across the water quickly and smashed towards the lonely Cangshan ship. As a result, countless columns of water suddenly splashed around the Cangshan ship. When these water columns disperse, they become a large area of water in Dalian, enveloping the nearby Cangshan boats.

"Grass!"

Hu Xiaobin cursed in a low voice.

The captain of this Cangshan ship, named Hu Xiaobin, is a freshly graduated naval cadet. His father, called Hu Yifang, was originally an important backbone of the Wenxiang Sect, and later joined the Tiger Ben Army and became a senior general of the Tiger Ben Army, and is currently the deputy commander of the Blue Dragon Legion and Yang Zhiyuan's deputy. Today is the first time Hu Xiaobin has participated in actual combat.

In the team of the Tiger Ben Army, there are really a lot of people like him who go into battle as father and son. Because he grew up in a very complex environment since he was a child, Hu Xiaobin has never been afraid of fighting. Facing the five armed merchant ships of the Yang family's fleet, Hu Xiaobin was not nervous at all.

"Shoot back!"

Hu Xiaobin shouted.

The most important thing in doing things in the Tiger Army is not to be soft and not to suffer. Being beaten and not fighting back is definitely not the style of the Tiger Army. was shelled by pirates, and Hu Xiaobin immediately became furious. You think you have cannons, but we don't!

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

The Cangshan ship opened fire without showing weakness.

Hu Xiaobin fired the same solid bullet. Three iron balls in a row roared through the low air, and then smashed fiercely towards an armed merchant ship at the front.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

There were two solid bullets, which fell on the surface of the sea, stirring up a high column of water. When the water column dispersed, it turned into a large area of water, which poured onto the deck of the armed merchant ship, causing the deck to be full of water, and all the pirate sailors on it were also turned into chickens.

"Bang!"

The other solid bullet hit the side of a pirate-armed merchant ship, making a very dull sound. Unfortunately, the side of this armed merchant ship is still very strong, wrapped in raw cowhide and the like, and solid bullets cannot constitute effective damage.

"Damn it!"

Yang Ling exclaimed in surprise.

He was shocked to find that the range of the cannons of the Cangshan ship was actually farther than his own warship. The range of the artillery of the armed merchant ships was only about three to four miles, and the Cangshan ship of the Tiger Ben Army actually hit the cannonballs five miles away. In battle, someone else's artillery has a longer range than one's own, which is obviously not a good thing.

However, how could the artillery of the Tiger Ben Army be more powerful than the artillery of the Yang family's fleet? It is important to know that their artillery was imported "from the Portuguese" in its original condition. The Portuguese patted their chests and said that this was their most advanced artillery.

"What's going on?"

"Is it an eye?"

Yang Pengling asked himself a little puzzled.

"Surround it!"

"Force it to surrender!"

After a while, Yang Pengling came back to his senses," he shouted.

He originally wanted to sink the other party on the spot and give Zhang Zhun a dismount, but now, he has changed his mind, and he wants to capture the other party alive. He wanted to see what kind of artillery was installed on this Tiger Ben Army Cangshan ship, "It has such a long range."

The order was quickly translated into a flag and sent out, and five armed merchant ships immediately outflanked the Cangshan ship. Their size is indeed huge, and when they were chasing the Cangshan boat, it was as if five middle-aged men were rounding up a primary school student.

"You want to catch me?"

"Come if you have a seed!"

Hu Xiaobin despised the other party fiercely.

The small size of the Cangshan boat and the flexible maneuvering "are like flies on the sea, and they can drill wherever there are cracks." On the contrary, the pirates' five armed merchant ships were much slower. It's just a joke that the other party actually wants to surround him. "Since you're chasing you, let's play hide and seek and fish." Speaking of which, they haven't fished for a long time.

"Left full rudder!"

"Right full rudder!"

Hu Xiaobin commanded the Cangshan ship, constantly walking in a zigzag pattern, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, deliberately dangling in front of the five armed merchant ships. At first glance, "it's like a light and beautiful girl this year, with a charming twisting ass in front of you" deliberately teases you. When you are on fire, you are desperately chasing after you, but the result is that you can't catch up.

The five armed merchant ships in the back, although they looked at the fire in their eyes, they just couldn't catch each other, and their mood can be imagined. All the shells they fired were empty, and the speed was obviously slower than that of the Cangshan ship. If Hu Xiaobin had deliberately lured them, they would have been dumped a long time ago. The two sides chased after me, and before you knew it, they ran out of more than ten miles.

"Eldest Prince, we are a little far away from Chaolian Island."

A kind subordinate reminded in a low voice.

They were all a little worried that they would be led into the ambush circle of the Tiger Ben Army's naval army by the Cangshan ship of the Tiger Ben Army. To tell the truth, in front of the Cangshan ship, the five armed merchant ships are indeed a very powerful force, but if they are in front of a large warship, the armed merchant ships are scum. If they fall into a trap, their situation is not very good!

"Keep chasing!"

Yang Pengling said fiercely.

He resolutely refused to let go of this Cangshan ship. If you don't sink it hard and give Zhang Zhun a small dismount, how can you show the strength of the Yang family's fleet? How capable can the Tiger Ben Army and the Water Army be? He's got five armed merchant ships around, and he's sure he'll be fine.

"Young master, there are more enemy ships."

Suddenly, there was a sharp reminder from the lookout post.

Yang Pengling hurriedly raised the clairvoyant mirror and scanned the surrounding sea.

Sure enough, in the north and northwest of Chaolian Island, there were many shadows of Cangshan ships. They should have been with the Cangshan ship in front of them, and when they heard the sound of cannons, they rushed over to support. When all the figures of the Cangshan ship appeared, Yang Pengling counted it clearly, and there were a total of Cangshan ships.

"Is this the main force of the Tiger Army?"

Yang Pengling put down the clairvoyant mirror, frowned, and said to himself.

If the Tiger Ben Army and Navy were all such ships, he would be completely relieved, these sesame mung bean-sized warships would at most scratch him, and the five armed merchant ships could just exert their firepower and shake them all away. ”

Yang Pengling shouted unceremoniously.

He also felt just now that only knocking out one of Zhang Zhun's Cangshan ships would not be able to cause too much deterrence to Zhang Zhun. Now it's okay, a Cangshan ship has arrived, just to give the Yang family fleet a snack before dinner. There should be no problem with five armed merchant ships and one Cangshan ship to eat. Whether it is the size of the warship or the number of artillery, the Yang family fleet is completely victorious!

The flags continued to be issued, and five armed merchant ships rushed towards them with great vigour. In order to surround these Cangshan ships of the Tiger Ben Army, these five armed merchant ships were indeed working hard, and each of them spared no effort to kill, leaving a long white water huā behind the stern.

"Grass!"

"A bunch of a**!"

Hu Xiaobin laughed contemptuously.

These pirates from the south knew at a glance that they regarded the Tiger Ben Army as a fish belly, and thought that the Tiger Ben Army and the Navy were easy to bully. Who is the belly of the fish?" This is the home of the Tiger Ben Navy. It's easy to bully us when we are small? Hehe, "The body of the clam fish is not big, why are other fish afraid of it?"

"Shoot in formation!"

Hu Xiaobin soon received the flag.

The flag is from another Cangshan ship. The captain of this Cangshan ship is called Emmeth.

This name is a bit strange" It can be seen that the level of the old gentleman in the private school playing with words is very high, and by the time the host reacts, it is already raw rice and cooked rice.

"Full sails!"

"Turn left!

Hu Xiaobin immediately shouted.

The Cangshan boat quickly turned left and joined the big team, and all the flying dragon cannons were ready to fire. Soon, the Cangshan ships were lined up in a column.

"Huh?"

Yang Pengling screamed strangely.

He saw all this in the clairvoyant mirror, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Originally, he thought that these Cangshan boats were flying casually like sparrows, and there would be no organization, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually arrayed. That's not a good thing. Forming a formation on the surface of the sea is to take the initiative to counterattack. Moreover, judging from the speed of the array, the speed of the Tiger Ben Army is still quite fast, which faintly shows that the Tiger Ben Army is only afraid that there is strict training.

"Array!"

Yang Pengling hurriedly shouted.

Since the other party is in formation, of course he can't show weakness. No matter what kind of ability the Tiger Ben Army and Navy have, the Yang family fleet must take them down. Because, at this time, the Yang family fleet had no other way out. Defeating Zhang Zhun and taking Shandong" is their only way out.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

However, Yang Pengling's banner has not yet been completely issued, "The Cangshan ships of the Tiger Ben Army and the Navy Army will fire together."

The deafening sound of artillery "suddenly resounded throughout the sea."

Sporadic shelling, and salvo fire are two completely different concepts, both in terms of sound and power, which are much more shocking. I only saw a string of solid bullets, flying through the sky and fiercely rushing towards the armed merchant ships. Faintly, you can still hear the shrill cry of shells as they burst through the air.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Bang!"

Some of the solid bullets fell into the sea, smashing a large number of water columns, and the scene was very spectacular. Some of the solid bullets hit the side of the armed merchant ship, making a dull sound. Or it landed directly on the deck and smashed a hole straight away.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The five armed merchant ships of the Yang family's fleet, of course, were not to be outdone, and they also fired back one after another. They fired more cannonballs, which landed around the Cangshan boat, splashing countless columns of water. Looking at it from a distance, the dense water column seemed to form a water curtain, isolating the Cangshan ship and the armed merchant ship.

It's just that the volume of the Cangshan ship is indeed too small, and it is very difficult for the cannonballs to hit the target, but there are constantly cannonballs splashing the water high, sprinkling Hu Xiaobin and them. However, on this hot summer day, it is very comfortable to be poured by the cool sea water. As for the Flying Dragon Cannon, there are special waterproof measures, and it is not afraid of splashing up with seawater at all.

"Spread out!"

"Shoot at close range!"

Soon, Emmeth's Cangshan boat issued another flag.

It's going to be hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Also, the two sides are too far apart to reach each other when they fight, so instead of wasting shells, it is better to stick them and bombard each other with chain and solid shells. Cangshan Boat is best at wolf pack tactics, and now is the right time for the other party to see it.

"Childe, it seems that the Tiger Ben Army and the Navy are going to take the initiative to attack."

The subordinate cautiously reminded Yang Pengling.

"Take the initiative?"

"Just with their sparrow-sized war tents"

Yang Pengling said disdainfully.

The Cangshan ship in front of him was indeed too small in size, and he really didn't care about it. Such a small warship, on the side of the Yang family's fleet, can only be used for miscellaneous work, and it is impossible to participate in large-scale battles. The Tiger Ben Army and the Navy probably don't have any large warships, so they will let these Cangshan ships come to die.

In fact, five armed merchant ships were also not taken into account. They didn't seem nervous about the approach of the Cangshan ship. They were still firing shells slowly, trying to stop the Cangshan ship from approaching. Obviously, this is not possible. Like flies, the Cangshan ships easily broke through their cannonball blockade.

As a result, the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened to about one hundred concubines and ten zhang. In naval warfare, such a distance is actually quite close. If you get closer, it's the range of chain bombs and grapeshot bombs.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The Cangshan ships opened fire intensively again.

After the shells were fired, they split into a large number of marbles in the sky, forming patches of dark clouds, and then swooped down on the armed merchant ships.

"Shotgun?"

Yang Pengling frowned and said.

Shotgun is grape bomb. Ordinary sailors like to call it grape bullets, and they think this name is very appropriate. But in formal settings, it has to be called shotgun. Yang Pengling felt that he was the young master of the Yang family's fleet, "a serious naval battle marshal, so he has always insisted on calling him a shotgun."

A large number of marbles were smashed towards one of the armed merchant ships, and many marbles fell on the armed merchant ship. In an instant, tragedy occurred. The sailman on the mast was hit by marbles and fell from the high mast, dead or alive. The sailors on the deck were also hit by marbles, drenched in blood. Next to the armed merchant ship, a large number of marbles fell, splashing a cloud of mist.

"Damn it!"

Yang Pengling couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

These sparrow ships of the Tiger Army Navy are actually so ferocious?

, ask for a monthly pass! It's been twelve hours, and I can't relax if I clench my teeth!
