Unlike fighting on land, all sailors and soldiers are grasshoppers tied to a rope, no matter who they are, whether they are crew members or captains, emperors or slaves, as long as the ship sinks, they are all the food in the belly of the sea fish.

Including Fan Jinyan, everyone on the Nameless has no experience in naval combat, and most of them are not even soldiers, but just farmers who have been trained how to operate ships for half a month.

Fan Jinyan said that this is a risk, and if he is not careful, even he may be buried in this sea.

Of course, if the Poseidon blesses the other side with just an ordinary merchant ship, then the result will be different.

As soon as he finished giving the order on his front foot, Yang Zi, who was the captain of the ship, retorted, "My lord, except for your own soldiers, no other sailors have ever been on the battlefield, and now they have just learned to operate the warship, so it is too risky." ”

Fan Jinyan didn't think so, shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you haven't been to the battlefield, isn't this exactly the battlefield?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Zi, "But your safety?" ”

Immediately afterwards, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyan raising his hand, "Don't underestimate the Nameless, its speed is not something that ordinary warships can catch up, if you can't win, can't we win?" ”

That's right, the Nameless is a standard pointed bottom sea ship, not to mention in the South Seas, that is, in the whole of Europe, it is also the most advanced warship.

"But, sir, the sailors haven't learned how to handle guns yet!" Yang Zi is embarrassed.

You must know that the sea is not better than the land, and the professional skills of the gunners are more demanding, if it is not an old sailor, it is such a big wave, 300 meters away, ten cannons can hit one shot, it is a blind cat that hit a dead mouse, it is a pure accident.

Fan Jinyan was still unmoved, and said with a smile: "The artillery on the Nameless is the most advanced in terms of range and power, and it also occupies an overwhelming advantage in numbers, as long as the distance is controlled, isn't this kind of battlefield the best training ground for soldiers?" ”

After speaking, he patted Yang Zi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "This official knows what you are worried about, but you are the old man who has followed me the longest, and you know that I never fight unprepared battles." ”

Fan Jinyan said this, Yang Zi shut up and said no more, turned away from the bow of the ship to arrange the soldiers to prepare for battle.

Fan Jinyan fought this battle, not because of how arrogant he was, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to let these sailors see blood. Moreover, when the system gave him the nameless, it was not an empty ship, but the warehouse was full of gunpowder and shells for various purposes.

In his words, actual combat is the best training, and he still doesn't believe it, so much ammunition can't train a few god runners.

The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, and the sailors on the lookout could already see that the other side was not a merchant ship at all, but a pirate with a skull flag like himself.

Fan Jinyan had a very calm expression on the surface, but he was nervous and excited inside, and he only felt that his heartbeat was as fast as a motor.

When the distance between the two sides was only five or six hundred meters, the lookout shouted downward: "My lord, the flag on the other side asks for our identity." ”

Fan Jinyan frowned, couldn't the pirates on the other side see that we are not an Asian ship type? Thinking of this, Fan Jinyan turned around and shouted at the lookout on the mast, "Tell them that we are the Black Pearl Pirate Ship, and ask them to stop the ship for inspection." ”

Yang Zi was stunned for a moment, didn't this make it clear that he wanted to provoke the other party to fight with himself? Isn't it good to outwit?

Sure enough, as soon as the flag was flown here, the other party's ship quickly deviated from the course and sailed directly towards the Nameless.

Obviously, this is what it means to come and meet the Black Pearl.

Since the guns of the warships of this era were distributed on both sides of the warships, they could only fire when the two sides were parallel to the same line.

At this time, if you calculate according to the other party's route, the distance when parallel to the nameless number is definitely within 100 meters.

Are they going to fight a hopping gang war?

The other party is preparing to grab the rhythm of the ship!

In the case of artillery bombardment, Nameless has an absolute advantage, but if it is a jumping gang battle, they have almost no chance of winning.

Fan Jinyan saw it, and Yang Zi couldn't see it either. Without asking Fan Jinyan, he directly ordered the helmsman to turn to the southwest and distance himself from the other party.

The other party obviously also saw the move of the nameless name, and also followed the bias, intending to stick the nameless name to the death.

However, at this time, the gap between the two sides of the sea ships is reflected, although the sailors on the Nameless cannot be compared with the pirates who roam the sea all year round in terms of handling, but they take advantage of the warship, it is still easy to open up the distance.

When the two sides were parallel for the first time, the distance was almost more than two hundred, less than three hundred meters.

Fan Jinyan didn't have time to see the situation of the other party's pirate ship at all, so he directly ordered the cannon to be fired.

The gunners, who had been prepared for a long time, subconsciously lit the fuse as soon as they heard the order.

Suddenly, on the side of the nameless, thirty-eight artillery pieces exploded with a loud bang almost simultaneously, and all kinds of shells flew out of the window with a whirl. And the artillery also slid back more than a meter because of the recoil before stopping.

The sailors did not have time to see their results at all, but worked in pairs, pushed the retreating guns back into place, and then hurriedly reloaded their ammunition.

Although the gunners were also taught what to use and what ammunition to use during training, by this time, they had long forgotten what they had been taught. Some are loaded with chain bullets, while others are loaded with scattered bullets or large iron balls.

At the same time as the nameless cannon rang out, the opposite pirate ship also fired, but because of the small number, the sound was completely muffled by the sound of the cannon on the nameless.

But after two breaths, the cannonballs streaked across beautiful parabolas, or fell into the sea and smashed huge columns of water, or fell on the boat's gang and smashed sawdust sideways.

As far as the eye could see, all but a few of the 38 shells fired by the Nameless fell into the sea on the enemy's splints, and none of them had any effect.

On the other hand, the pirate's gunners were not accurate, but there were only a dozen or so, at least five of which fell on the Nameless, not only knocking a hole in the ship's gang, but also wounding more than a dozen sailors.

"Husband, you can't go on like this! Our gunners can't be sure. Liang Xiangru, who had been nervously following the war situation, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't Brother Jinyan say, actual combat is training, if you are afraid, you will jump into the sea." Before Fan Jinyan could speak, Han Yaxuan began to refute for him.

Fan Jinyan was stunned, didn't the two girls reconcile? Why did you start pinching again?

At this time, it was not sloppy, Fan Jinyan didn't bother to deal with them, and said to Yang Zi, who was frowning: "Order the soldiers to keep a distance and deal calmly, and always be ready for white-knuckle combat." ”
