Chapter 111: A Great Victory in the First Battle
Of course, Zhang Feng has noticed these situations, and it can be said that the entire battle situation is completely under Zhang Feng's control, and the changes on the battlefield have not escaped Zhang Feng's eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, by this time the naval battle was going on, the Japanese pirates no longer had an advantage in the number of ships, and several ships had been sunk.
The number of Zhang Feng's own ships has not decreased, and the only thing that worries people is that one or two ships were seriously damaged, but they did not sink.
"Take my orders, split up and chase them all and sink them all!"
Zhang Feng has this confidence, because Zhang Feng's own steam-powered sea ship can reach a maximum speed of twelve knots, while the other party's is a galleon, the power must rely on the sail, and the speed is much slower, and it is simply a joke to escape.
"Lao Zhao, that one is estimated to be the flagship of the Japanese pirates, have you seen it, let's catch up and sink them!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Weibin looked excited, and was about to go to convey the order immediately, but Zhang Feng added, "Old Zhao, seeing that those transport ships are not there, and those ships are kept for me, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
The naval battle went on for so long, and Zhao Weibin also noticed that there were two main types of ships of the Japanese pirates, one was a warship with a lot of cannons, and the other was a transport ship with basically no cannons, and the two were very distinguishable from the outside.
In the naval battle just now, everyone was busy dealing with the Japanese pirate warships, and those transport ships basically did not suffer great losses, and it is estimated that two or three of them suffered one or two shots, and the damage was not great.
Zhang Feng counted it in detail just now, and the fleet of the Japanese pirates consisted of a total of 28 large and small ships, including 20 large and small warships and 8 transport ships, and the largest transport ship was a few points larger than Zhang Feng's 2,000 sea ships.
Zhang Feng guessed that there were estimated things on these transport ships, and if they could be seized, they might be able to greatly alleviate his current financial situation.
It is true that Zhang Feng has money in his hands, but there are more places to spend money, since he made a fortune by beating Tartars in the area of Tianjin Wei last year, it has been so long, and Zhang Feng has never made a windfall.
Although a lot of factories have been built and there is a relatively stable income, there are many places to spend money, especially the construction of the navy, which will be an extremely money-burning place.
In the construction of ironclad ships, taking the "012A" type ironclad ships as an example, each of them costs more than 100,000 taels of silver, and if more than a dozen ships are to be built, it will cost more than 1 million taels of silver.
In the future, Zhang Feng will not only build "012A" ironclad ships, and the number will definitely be more than a dozen, Zhang Feng's long-term plan is to build a few large fleets, not to make a small fuss.
If you want to use money everywhere, Zhang Feng has been thinking that if he can make a windfall, at least it can greatly alleviate the current financial situation.
Zhang Feng knew that now might be the opportunity.
Zhao Weibin also saw these transport ships, and immediately said loudly: "Lord Commander, don't worry, I will go to convey the order!" ”
Soon, the flag-whisperers on the flagship waved a series of flags, and kept beating them several times, so that the order was transmitted to the other ships.
Sure enough, everyone immediately began to divide up in pursuit, and the Japanese pirate transport ships only monitored the movement and did not shell them, and those warships were unlucky.
"Amaterasu, why are they so fast!"
Many Japanese pirates screamed in their hearts, looking at the steam-powered ships that were approaching quickly, their hearts were in despair, they couldn't run away, they couldn't win the fight, some pirates chose to jump into the sea, and some pulled up the white flag and surrendered.
The pirate flagship didn't get far either.
Not only did Zhang Feng's sea ship catch up, but another 1,000-material sea ship also pursued him, and two sea ships, one left and one right, aimed at this ship and shelled it.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Although the caliber of the seventy-millimeter gun was a little smaller, the range and accuracy of the shelling were impeccable, and many shells hit the fleeing pirate flagship.
"Your Excellency Mitsui, our ship is dead!"
"Your Excellency Mitsui, let's surrender!"
“……”
Seeing that his ship was about to be sunk, many pirates shouted and screamed, and the pirate leader Taro Mitsui turned pale and hesitated.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mitsui Taro knew that if he surrendered, he would probably not have good fruit to eat in the end, so he said sharply in his heart.
"Yaga! Take out the spirit of a Japanese samurai and we will fight them to the death! ”
After speaking, Taro Mitsui took out a strip of white cloth and tied it to his forehead, slowly drew his katana, and was the first to walk out of the cabin.
At this time, Zhang Feng's flagship was already very close to this pirate flagship, and it should only be a few dozen meters away from the visual inspection, and he could see the situation on the pirate flagship clearly.
Zhao Weibin said: "Lord Commander, those Japanese pirates are stupid!" He actually ran out of the cabin and came to the deck. ”
Zhang Feng didn't care about this, Zhang Feng had already seen that those Japanese pirates with katanas and samurai uniforms should be the heads and brains of that group of pirates.
Zhang Feng was itchy for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "That musket is here." ”
A sailor next to him quickly handed over a musket to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng checked the musket slightly, Zhang Feng held the gun, through the window of the command room, aimed at the pirates dozens of meters away.
Zhang Feng is targeting Mitsui Taro, the leader of this gang of pirates.
Mitsui Taro had not yet realized that he had been targeted, and was holding a command knife, preparing to wait for the two ships to approach, and then board Zhang Feng's flagship for a white-knuckle battle.
"Bang!"
As soon as the gunshot rang out, Mitsui Taro fell straight to the ground, Zhang Feng nodded with satisfaction, the rifled gun is still good, at least the shooting accuracy has been greatly improved, just now Zhang Feng shot Mitsui Taro in the head.
"Don't be stunned, take a gun and kill all those Japanese pirates!" Zhang Feng shouted.
Half an hour later......
The gunfire gradually stopped, and on the sea, several Japanese warships were burning, and several Japanese warships had sunk and only half of their hulls were exposed.
The eight Japanese transport ships were already surrounded by Zhang Feng's ships, and the Japanese pirates on each transport ship had already raised the white flag.
Zhang Feng was still "benevolent", and did not kill them all, but only sank all the threatening Japanese warships, and these transport ships were all left, and if the Japanese pirates on the transport ship pulled up the white flag and surrendered, Zhang Feng no longer ordered everyone to shoot.
"Board the ship, tie up all the Japanese pirates who surrendered, dare to resist, and shoot and kill!" Zhang Feng gave another order.
The order was given, and soon Zhang Feng's ships approached, and the sailors carried muskets with cold bayonets on them, and the sailors boarded the transport ships.
"Lord Commander, let's also board the ship to have a look."
Zhang Feng nodded, and Zhang Feng also wanted to see what was on the transport ship of these pirates, so Zhang Feng's flagship also leaned over and approached the largest transport ship.
Zhang Feng and Zhao Weibin, supported by more than a dozen sailors, boarded the deck of the largest transport ship together.
There were already a lot of sailors on this ship, and they had captured hundreds of pirates on this ship, and they were tying them up with ropes.
Under everyone's muskets, in front of the cold and glistening bayonets, these surrendered pirates were more honest than quails, at the mercy of the sailors.
"Let's go into the cabin and have a look."
Zhang Feng waved his hand and walked in the front, Zhao Weibin led everyone to follow, Zhang Feng thought to himself as he walked towards the cabin.
"This group of pirate ships is twenty-eight large and small, and it looks like it is very strong, don't let me down, at this time, Lao Tzu is in urgent need of money."
The ship was relatively large, up and down several floors, Zhang Feng walked to the first floor below the deck, opened one of the cabins with his own hands, the hatch opened, Zhang Feng's eyes lit up.
…………
