"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Despite shelling the opponent at the maximum range, the hit rate was greatly reduced, and most of the solid shells fell into the sea. However, there were still sporadic shells that landed accurately on the top of Fukufune. Due to the small number of these solid bullets, they cannot cause much damage, and most of them are just a matter of smashing a hole in the deck. However, for Sun Ronglu, it was already a great shock.

"Could it be the Hongyi Cannon?"

Sun Ronglu's surprise is not trivial.

If Zhang Zhun actually had the Hongyi Cannon, he would not be an opponent.

Everyone knows that the range and power of the Hongyi cannon are absolutely incomparable to the Franc machine artillery. The firing range of the Franc machine gun was only three miles. The firing range of the Hongyi cannon can be more than ten miles at will. Even if he has ten warships, in front of the Hongyi cannon, he will only be beaten. If Zhang Zhun really had the Hongyi cannon, he should retreat quickly.

"General, it shouldn't be a Hongyi cannon, and the projectile is not big."

A pirate leader found a solid bullet that had fallen and sent it to Sun Ronglu.

Sun Ronglu took the spherical projectile, carefully measured it, and was sure that it was not the shell of the Hongyi cannon, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Zhang Zhun did not have the Hongyi cannon in his hands, otherwise, there would be no way to fight this battle.

This spherical projectile is only the size of a fist, and it is a common Franc cannon caliber projectile. And the projectile fired by the ordinary Hongyi cannon is much larger than a fist. Similarly, the solid bullets fired by the Hongyi cannon have greater destructive power. It seems that the deck of the Fu ship can't withstand the bombardment of Hongyi cannons at all. If a cannon comes, the deck will definitely have to pierce a big hole, and the area around the hole will also collapse. Now the projectile that falls, the damage caused is obviously not so serious.

"Damn it!"

"Zhang Zhun's cannon, why can it hit so far?"

"What kind of artillery is Zhang Zhun using? Why is the range so much more than ours? Isn't it the Franco cannon he used? ”

Sun Ronglu asked a series of questions.

These questions, of course, have no answers.

They only have the facts in front of them: Zhang Zhun's artillery did hit so far.

"Speed up!"

"Get into the range of our artillery as soon as possible!"

"We're going to fight back! We're going to fight back! We're going to fight back! ”

Sun Ronglu screamed viciously.

He couldn't stand being pressed under shelling. If this situation does not change, the outcome of the battle may be tragic again. The last Mid-Autumn Festival sneak attack on Fushan City failed, it was already very humiliating, if the attack on Fushan City before the New Year also failed this time, he didn't want to raise his head in front of others in the future. Even if it was Yang Tiansheng, he would be completely desperate for him. This is a must not happen!

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue on. Fortunately, as long as they get within range of their own battleship's cannons, they can turn this situation around. For the level of pirate gunners, Sun Ronglu is still very confident. When the time comes, we must let Zhang Zhun see what real shelling is!

"Whew!"

Suddenly, Sun Ronglu felt that there was a strange voice coming from his side.

Without thinking, he bowed his head and crouched down.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang behind him, and a solid bullet fell heavily.

"Ahh

A short scream came, followed by silence.

Sun Ronglu didn't need to look back, he knew that it was his subordinate who was finished. Just now he needed to look everywhere to find a solid bullet, but unexpectedly, after a moment of effort, he stood there and did not move, and the solid bullet accurately found him.

Sure enough, a moment later, Sun Ronglu looked back and saw that the subordinate had fallen behind. Obviously, his body was completely smashed into a ball of meat sauce by solid bullets, and his whole body was lying there in a blur of flesh and blood. Because the power of the solid bullet was so great, he only had time to let out a short scream before he didn't react.

"Bang!"

Before Sun Ronglu could sigh, another loud bang came.

Another solid bullet fell, sending up a large number of wood chips and causing the surrounding pirates to scream. Regarding the destruction of this solid bullet, Sun Ronglu received the information that three lives were gone. He also didn't know how this solid bullet took the lives of three people. However, none of this matters. Crucially, the three pirates were indeed dead.

Sun Ronglu's inner depression can be imagined. What a humiliating thing to be constantly bombarded by the enemy's artillery, but unable to fight back! He really wanted to give the order to fire back, and poured all the pieces of bullet rain on Zhang Zhun's head. But reason told him it was useless. Because, the Francophone artillery on his ship has a range of only three miles. Now, it has not yet entered the firing range.

No matter how much he wanted to give the order to open up the artillery bombardment and give the other side a little color to see, he had to hold back in the end. Firing artillery now can only be a helpless waste of shells. If you don't have this ability, don't fire indiscriminately and make others laugh at yourself, this is Sun Ronglu's consistent view. However, Sun Ronglu can endure it, but other pirate ships can't bear it.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The pirate ship next to it opened fire.

The other No. 2 ship that rushed to the front was the pirate's vanguard, and it was the first to fire. On the top of this No. 2 Fu ship, there were eighteen cannons, nine on each side of the ship. Nine guns fired a salvo, and the power was still considerable. It's just that the range of these cannons is not as far as that of the Flying Dragon Cannon. At the same time, due to the angle, their accuracy is really not flattering. It drove into the inside of Ma Wan, and fired at Ma Wan with its own side of the gun, how could it be hit? Therefore, this is purely a cannon to embolden yourself.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Sure enough, the cannonballs fired by the pirate ship fell in the middle of the two armies, splashing countless columns of water. The nearest landing point is also more than 100 zhang away from the two floating batteries. There was no use for anything other than to embolden the pirates themselves.

"Come closer!"

"Shoot closer!"

"Speed up and get close to the enemy!"

Sun Ronglu hurriedly shouted.

He ordered the flag to be hoisted, and only after the ships were in range did they fire at the two monsters, and not to waste shells at will. Only by speeding up and getting close to the enemy is the most fundamental way to solve the problem. So, the pirate ship temporarily stopped firing and moved on.

The huge No. 2 Fukufu was in front and the three No. 3 Fukufu were in the back, forming an awl-shaped offensive formation. Each pirate ship will drive its speed to the maximum, and at the same time, maneuver to the surrounding sea, trying to seize as good a firing position as possible.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Not to be outdone, the two floating batteries continued to fire.

At the same time, the three Cangshan ships that reinforced the battlefield also opened fire.

It's a pity that the distance is really a bit far. At such a distance, the landing point of the shells is very difficult to control. Most of the shells fell into the sea. Occasionally, one or two solid bullets landed on top of the pirate ship, and they could not inflict any damage on it. Therefore, the queue of the pirate ship is still coming up steadily.

"Zhang Zhun, there are so many pirate ships, what should I do?"

"Is there anything better you can do?"

Shen Lingfei said with some concern.

"Nope."

"I can only fight with them."

Zhang Zhun's face was grim and said lightly.

"Huh?"

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

Shen Lingfei cried out with some worry.

"The brave wins!"

"I'm sure the officers and men of the Navy can withstand it!"

Zhang Zhun said casually.

Shen Lingfei was still very worried.

In terms of the quantity and quality of the ships, the pirate ships are all victorious! Now, there are at least seven more pirate ships that can take part in the attack. Once they are within range of their guns, two immovable floating turrets will be their main targets. The striking capability of the floating battery is indeed very strong, but what is its anti-strike ability?

This naval battle seems to be very difficult!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a dull sound on the battlefield.

Zhang Zhun raised the clairvoyant mirror and took a closer look, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that the westernmost No. 3 fortune ship suddenly shook violently, and its speed immediately decreased. The mast and the sails were constantly shaking. The sailman on the mast was caught off guard and fell directly from above, and under the influence of his habitual surname, he fell directly into the sea. The pirates on the ship also had a brief panic. Although they quickly regained their composure, Zhang Zhun still showed a relieved smile.

"Hit the rocks?"

Shen Lingfei said with some uncertainty.

"Well, it's on the rocks!"

Zhang Zhun sneered slightly and said affirmatively.

Mawan's estuary to the sea is not so easy to get in and out. Under the sea at the mouth of the sea, there are many irregular reefs. For the ships passing by, these hidden reefs are a very headache killer. If you accidentally hit a reef, the boat will be damaged at least or sinky with water leakage. The water surface of the mouth of Mawan looks wide, but in fact, the channel is relatively narrow.

If you are a captain who is not familiar with the fairway, it is easy to have an accident here. In particular, ships from outside who are not familiar with the situation generally do not dare to easily deviate from the middle lane. Therefore, generally at night, there are no ships entering and leaving the sea at the mouth of Mawan. Except for the well-known Huben Navy vessels.

During the day, foreign ships can basically determine the location of the reef based on the color of the sea, so they can avoid it. However, it was already evening, and the light was not very good, and the pirate ship apparently did not notice this. In order to gain a favorable combat position, it clearly deviated from the course and, as a result, hit the reef just alongside it.
