The sound of "bang bang bang" cannon rang out again, and this time the cannon sound was much less pronounced than the fierce shelling at the beginning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In addition, the distance between the two armies is constantly narrowing, and in such a short distance, in such a short time, there is no way for the Jiaozhou fleet to organize an effective attack. I could only watch as the huge flames rushed into the battle array with the howl of death...

There was a loud "clang" sound, accompanied by a sore tooth grinding sound ringing in my ears. Fan Liang was suddenly a little stunned, looked around blankly, and suddenly Slade's strange and anxious shout sounded in his ears, "Your Excellency General, we have been attacked!" An arson ship crashed into the Tsingtao! ”

"What!?" Fan Liang was shocked, he didn't know that this was the first time he had been surprised, and the shock he encountered in just a few quarters of an hour was almost more than Fan Liang's first half of his life combined! Fortunately, after being in a high position for a long time, Fan Liang can still remain chaotic at the moment. After a moment of silence, Fan Liang immediately ordered, "Slade, organize the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and at the same time order the gunners to continue firing, and the losses must be minimized!" ”

"Ugh!" Slade asked, confused, "Extinguishing the fire?" What fire to extinguish? Your Excellency General, who told you that the Qingdao was on fire, just now I just said that we were hit, and I didn't talk about the fire! How could those small boats cause harm to our Qingdao? ”

There was a deep disdain in Slade's tone, as if the arsonist ships that had caused great damage to the Jiaozhou fleet were as worthless as ants. Fan Liang didn't dare to glance at Slade and didn't care, he only believed what he saw.

Fan Liang hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed the side of the ship and looked down, only to see an arson ship with a raging flame crashed into the port side of the Qingdao, because the Qingdao did not carry too much cargo and the draft was shallow, and the ship's side was tall, the only 100-ton arson ship did not cause much damage to it, but there were some pits on one side of the hull.

Fan Liang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and before he could secretly rejoice, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. Looking up into the distance, I saw that the originally neat formation was already full of holes and scattered at this moment. The pirate's arsonist ship rushed into the merchant ship in the center of the battle array through the gap between the warships. Because it carries a large amount of cargo, the draft is deep, and the speed is slow. These merchant ships couldn't even make evasive moves, and could only watch as the fireships rushed towards them. Cargo ships loaded with wealth became targets, fierce fires rose into the sky, and groups of crews could not stand the scorching heat of the fire and jumped into the sea...

The tragic scene made Fan Liang's eyes split, looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Liang took a deep breath and kept warning himself that he must be stable and not panic.

"Your Excellency, the enemy army is already less than three miles away from us! You, as a commander, must decide whether to fight or retreat? ”

Slade's voice sounded in Fan Liang's ears again, and Fan Liang felt that Slade's strange tone was so annoying for the first time. Suppressing all kinds of uneasiness and fear tumbling in his heart, Fan Liang said in a strong voice, "Fight! Be sure to fight! ”

"Pass my military order to bring all the shells in the cabin! Tell the others that they are allowed to use the Blossom Bomb! Ignoring Slade's stunned eyes, Fan Liang decided to fight against the water, and took out the killer weapon that he had sealed to deal with this crisis.

The tragic situation of the Jiaozhou fleet fell into Wang Zhi's eyes almost at the same time, and Wang Zhi was undoubtedly very happy that the arson ship could achieve such a big result. Looking at the Jiaozhou fleet that was caught in the sea of fire in front of him, Wang Zhi slapped on the arrow stack on the side of the ship and shouted excitedly, "Full sails, hit Lao Tzu!" Let these newcomers taste our awesomeness! ”

"Full sails! Full sails! Wang Zhi's order was conveyed one after another, and the pirates excitedly raised their white sails. Then, with the help of the monsoon, a large fleet of ships rushed quickly towards the Jiaozhou fleet.

3000 meters, 2000 meters....When the distance between the two sides reached 1500 meters, the Jiaozhou fleet took the lead in firing guns. The first to strike was the Qingdao, the flagship of the Jiaozhou fleet. The three-masted battleship's eighteen Franky guns on the port side were the first to fire shells. The projectile rushed to the front of the "Black Wind" with a flaming light! The killer bullet of the Jiaozhou fleet appeared on the battlefield for the first time!

A large number of shells exploded near the Black Wind, and the shells fell into the water and stirred up a huge column of water, and a small number of shells pierced the hull of the Black Wind and then burst. There was even a shell that landed on the deck and caused a violent explosion, flying pieces of iron and lead pellets shot out in all directions, and suddenly a ghost cried wolf!

"Fight back! Fire! Wang Zhi waved his injured arm and roared loudly, and Wang Zhi's heart was full of anger at this moment. In Wang Zhi's opinion, this battle has been fought so far, and it is obvious that it is a definite victory, as long as he exerts a little force, the official army can only be defeated. But the result obviously exceeded Wang Zhi's expectations, and the official army actually dared to fight back!? Wang Zhi was immediately furious!

Wang Zhi's prestige is still very high after accumulating power for a long time, and after hearing the order, the pirates endured the pain and raging artillery fire and walked into the running position again, loaded ammunition and began to counterattack.

The earth-shattering artillery fire became louder and louder, and on the battlefield 1,000 meters away, the two sides began to fire at each other. Fierce naval battles continued. Thick gunpowder smoke filled the sea breeze in all directions, drifting and spreading. The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the entire sea, and fierce fighting had entered the white heat.

A cannonball hit and shattered the pirate's ship. The blossom bomb landed on the deck and burst open, and the pirates snapped their heads into their hands. Before he could run a few steps, he fell headlong! Fear spreads, and the tragic casualties make the pirates almost desperate, jumping into the sea to find a way to survive. The enemy-friend posture of the warship began to reverse, and the pirate side fell into a raging fire because of the fierce artillery fire of the Jiaozhou fleet, and the dense shells fell on the warship, accompanied by a violent explosion. The scales of war seem to be beginning to tip!

As the battle progressed, the pirates were shocked to find that few of the shells they fired hit the ships, and even the most powerful Frankie guns lost their power and fell into the sea at a great distance. On the contrary, the artillery shells of the officers and soldiers can hit them, and the accuracy rate is still very high, and the most frightening thing for the pirates is that the official and military shells are actually flowering shells! The pirates were stunned, aren't flowering shells only available to mortars? Why can the Frankie cannon of the official army also be used?

Seeing the tragic situation of the pirates from the binoculars, Fan Liang's tense face couldn't help but have a smile. At this moment, Fan Liang's admiration for Liu Fan and Sun Yuanhua filled his heart. If Liu Fan hadn't insisted on him taking this batch of new-style flowering bombs, I'm afraid that it would be the Jiaozhou fleet that would be passively beaten now! (To be continued.) )
