Black Whirlwind, as his name suggests, is short and stubby, with a dark complexion and a full beard.

At this time, he was standing on the edge of a cliff on the side of Blackwind Island, holding a monocular, looking out to sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At his side, ten cannons lined up, their muzzles pointing far away at the sea.

"Yellow-haired child, grandpa let you have no return this time!" Black Whirlwind gritted his teeth.

The robbery of Mrs. Zhai was regarded as a great shame by the black whirlwind, and he hated to cut Zhuo Shijie with a thousand knives, eat meat and sleep quickly.

But he never expected that his right-hand man, whom he had always relied on, led two Guangdong ships to attack Half Moon Island, but was wiped out by a huge cannon that came out of nowhere!

The Black Whirlwind Man may be rude, but his heart is not as reckless as he looks.

After learning from the pain, he decided to wait for the rabbit, open the big net, and wait for Zhuo Shijie and his gang to enter the urn.

He had already expected that Half Moon Island was a land of projectiles, not a place to stay for a long time at all, and Zhuo Shijie would definitely return to Black Wind Island.

Previously, he had received news from Luzon that Zhuo Shijie had sunk one of the Spaniards' armed galleons with a small gunboat, which not only did not make Black Whirlwind timid, but strengthened his previous tactics.

The grievances between the two sides have become fire and water, either you die or I die, and the best time to remove the cancer of Zhuo Shijie is when he wants to retake Black Wind Island.

Today is Zhuo Shijie's death! Black Wind Island is the place where Zhuo Shijie was buried!

The Black Whirlwind has been working at sea for so many years, and he has his own advantages.

Although he despised Zhuo Shijie as a thief in his heart, he was not careless at all, on the contrary, he used the strength of the cannon to fight mosquitoes this time, striving to kill with one blow and never have any trouble.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and ordered: "Let's go, our Guangdong ships will all retreat to the southern tip of the island!" ”

Behind him, the flag officer held the command flag in his hand, waved it several times above his head, and gave the four Guangdong ships an action order.

On Zhuo Shijie's side, he was directing the gunboats to bite the butts of the four Guangdong ships tightly, chasing closer and closer.

"Huh? Heading south? What do you want to do? Zhuo Shijie was puzzled.

At the southern end of Blackwind Island, in the direction of the retreat of the Cantonese boats, is a small bay. From here, you can't see what's going on in the bay because of the high ground.

Zhuo Shijie's first thought was that after these Guangdong ships wanted to enter the bay, they would turn their bows and concentrate their firepower to hit themselves.

However, he felt that something was not right.

"Keep the pursuit! Keep your distance from the eight-oared boats in the back and don't get too far ahead. ”

Zhuo Shijie wanted to fight quickly, he was not familiar with the current situation on Black Wind Island, and if it dragged on until night, he would be too passive.

Black Wind Island was close at hand, and everyone on the gunboat was staring wide-eyed, looking at the island that once belonged to them, and they couldn't wait to get on the island immediately.

While the gunboat was moving, someone came to report again: "Commander, on the cliff of Black Wind Island, an enemy battery has been found!" ”

Only the west side of Black Wind Island is a section of cliff, and Zhuo Shijie pursued the Guangdong ship, which happened to pass through this cliff.

Zhuo Shijie smiled: "The preparation work is quite sufficient, but what is the use of your fort!" ”

He said to Andrey, who was driving the gunboat: "Be careful, during the pursuit, do not get too close to the enemy battery. ”

Zhuo Shijie watched as the four Cantonese boats sailed around the corner of Heifeng Island into a small bay, and they also temporarily lost their pursuit target.

"Speed up and keep up!" Zhuo Shijie ordered.

The gunboat increased its speed and left the eight-oared boat far behind.

Zhuo Shijie was considerate, in case he met the enemy, a small cannon on the eight-oared boat would not play a role at all in the early battle.

The accelerated gunboat soon came to the corner of the bay.

All the soldiers on the gunboat seemed to realize that the big battle was coming, and they all raised their Garlandeb guns in their hands.

As soon as he turned around the corner, the tall mast of the Guangdong ship appeared in everyone's sight.

"Sure enough, you're waiting for me here!" Zhuo Shijie sneered.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about three kilometers, and for the 25mm rapid-fire gun on Zhuo Shijie's gunboat, a little further forward was exactly the ideal firing distance.

And the range of the opponent's artillery is far from being a threat to the gunboats.

However, what Zhuo Shijie did not expect was that just as the gunboat was heading towards several Guangdong ships at full speed, he heard the sound of intensive shelling.

The broadside guns of several Cantonese ships opened fire one after another.

Not only did the Cantonese ships open fire, but even the enemy's batteries on the cliffs opened fire one by one.

Zhuo Shijie didn't know what the Black Whirlwind was doing, and it didn't seem to have any effect except wasting ammunition.

Just as he thought, a rain of bullets struck, smashing up columns of water within a kilometer radius around the gunboat, and its accuracy was staggeringly low.

Looking at these water columns, Zhuo Shijie suddenly understood.

Although the effective range of the enemy's artillery is very close, their longest range can cover the position of the gunboat.

It's like a 12.7mm machine gun on a gunboat, its effective range is only more than 1,000 meters, but its maximum range is 8,000 meters!

Black Whirlwind is really not easy to match, he has long known that his artillery has a long range, so he used the wolf pack tactic, using the number of shells to offset the superior quality of his shot.

Although the enemy's artillery was extremely inaccurate at this distance, no one could guarantee that they would not be hit by one or two hits.

He quickly came to Jack's side and asked, "Can this artillery intercept enemy shells?" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Jack is confident in this.

He then added, "But Commander, it's a waste of shells to do this. ”

The rapid-fire cannon was originally a defensive weapon developed to intercept low-altitude surprise bombing aircraft, although the speed of the shell is faster, but with a marksman like Jack, there is no problem in interception.

The problem is that even Jack can't intercept one of the opponent's shells with just one shell. Rapid-fire guns often use dense barrages to intercept incoming enemy aircraft, which will certainly fire a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time.

However, the number of shells on the gunboats was limited.

"Grandma's! This black whirlwind is insidious! Zhuo Shijie scolded.

The reason why Black Whirlwind used this tactic must have known the battle of Wigan City a few days ago, he knew the approximate range of the guns on his gunboat, and he also knew that the gunboat did not have much ammunition, this tactic was tailor-made for Zhuo Shijie's gunboat.

It doesn't feel good to be calculated, and it feels even worse to be calculated so thoroughly.

Zhuo Shijie's heart was furious, and he gritted his teeth: "I still don't believe it!" A few of your broken wooden boats can really beat my advanced gunboats! Then let's try it and see who is more ruthless! ”

"Keep going! Target: Enemy Cantonese Ship! ”
