However, this time Redbeard Said seemed to have chosen the wrong opponent, he let the two clippers full of looted goods leave first, intending to use the remaining three ships to take advantage of the small and flexible ship, interspersed in a vertical formation, so that the opponent's superior firepower in two formations could not be brought into play, first use grapeshotter bombs to kill the opponent's personnel, shake the opponent's determination and will, and then bombard the opponent's mast with chain bullets, and then wait for the opportunity to escape.

Syd's tactics and plans were almost seamless, and in the era of piracy in Southeast Asia, Syd was still a professional.

But it is a pity that Seid met Lin Haijiang, a commander who has more than 100 years of experience than him, and is also equipped with a new type of artillery with cross-era significance.

Lin Haijiang said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Send a signal to the Taishan and Huashan ships, let them intercept the two pirate ships that escaped first, and leave it to me to solve it here." ”

Seeing this scene, Seid realized that he was likely to kick the iron plate today, but the situation was already difficult to ride a tiger, so no matter what, Syd had to bite the bullet.

Syd's three boats had formed a small battle line, and as long as they could survive the first round of shelling, Syd would take advantage of the small size and agility of the ship to cut into the T-line to avoid the opponent's main firepower and deal a heavy blow to the opponent.

However, Lin Haijiang said calmly: "The right rudder is full, the first battle speed, raise the spare sail, determine the speed, and the naval guns are on standby!" ”

Wang Dongxu, the first adjutant on the side, repeated loudly: "Full rudder right, full sail rising, speed measurement, front main gun test firing positioning projectiles!" ”

Five seconds later, orange flames erupted from the muzzle of the front main gun!

Rumble! The column of water stirred up by the missed bullet stirred around Said's main ship, and Said, who was not prepared in the slightest, suddenly fell to the command platform, and Said, who was stunned, hurriedly got up, looking at the enemy ship that was still far away from the range of his guns.

"This is a new type of artillery, damn breech guns! Hurry up and turn around! Some of the knowledgeable Seids shouted angrily on the ship.

However, the shock of the new cannon has made Syd forget that turning the bow of the ship at this moment is tantamount to suicide!

"Distance 290, wind southeast, speed fourteen knots, front and rear main guns, left side of the battle gun salvo!" After receiving Lin Haijiang's order, Yang Tianhua immediately issued an artillery bombardment order.

Taking advantage of the speed of battle, the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships, which had already seized the T-shaped position, fired a salvo at the pirate ship that was within the range of the guns and tried to turn.

With the roar of the artillery, the water column caused by the missed bullet gave Said a sea bath, and the gun positions of the two ships Zhenyuan and Dingyuan adjusted Zhu Yuan one after another, added the gun to raise the mouth, and then opened fire.

Through this salvo, Lin Haijiang found a very serious problem, that is, the starside salvo just made his Zhenyuan ship tilt by more than 7 degrees, which also made Lin Haijiang really break out in a cold sweat.

In the previous life, the Chinese Navy had neither battleships nor cruisers, so not much attention was paid to the salvo of the main guns in front and behind the battleships. A hundred mm French ferling guns were nothing at all for a destroyer of more than six thousand tons.

In fact, even in later generations, the salvo of the main guns in the front and rear of the battleship needs to stop and drop anchor, taking the Iowa class battleships in the United States as an example, the so-called salvo of the front and rear main guns is actually an illusion formed by electronically controlled firing, in fact, the salvo of the main guns is completed in batches within one second, and the strong force of the ship's guns firing column by column is also one of the main reasons for the low accuracy of the naval guns.

Today's encounter made Lin Haijiang forget the huge side effects of the so-called main artillery salvo in his excitement.

With the experience of the Zhenyuan ship, the Dingyuan ship did not carry out a salvo, but chose the mode of sequential firing of each gun, and the more than 600-ton gunboat 'scimitar' under the command of Redbeard Said was hit four times in a row above and below the waterline, and the sea water gushed into the hull of the ship, and with the influx of a large amount of seawater, the 'scimitar' quickly tilted, and then the keel broke and sank into the sea.

Some of the pirates who were too slow to react were wrenched in by the whirlpool created by the sinking hull, and after a few struggles, they fell silent.

Redbeard Said was dumbfounded, although the 'Scimitar' was a gunboat of several hundred tons, but even if a battleship wanted to sink it, it still needed a lot of effort, because those who had experienced naval battles clearly knew that the vast majority of battleships in naval battles were not sunk, but were destroyed by fire.

After being hit on the top deck by two shells in succession, Syd's ship was already devastated, with blood stains and severed limbs everywhere, and some dying wounded were faintly wailing, which was not a naval battle at all for Said, but a well-prepared massacre.

"Raise the white flag! Surrender! Seid, whose face was covered in gunpowder, gave the last order.

It's a pity that his order was not conveyed, because Lin Haijiang didn't want to contain any prisoners at all, from Lin Haijiang's point of view, sheltering prisoners is just adding trouble to himself, and completely sinking the other party is the most perfect ending of a naval battle, as for those so-called pirate ships, Lin Haijiang can't look down on them at all, because the value is not large, and it is not easy to shoot, like chicken ribs Lin Haijiang is really not interested.

Soon, the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship, which approached and fired continuously, sent Seid's gang to the bottom of the South China Sea, and there was nothing else on the surface of the sea that could prove the famous red-bearded Seid pirates who had previously crossed the South China Sea.

The new type of artillery brought about the new way of fighting can be said to shock everyone who participates in the battle, destroying enemy ships outside the range of the opponent? This is unimaginable before, especially Yang Tianhua and others, this can be said to be the first time that the Zhenyuan ship and the Dingyuan ship have cooperated in the strict sense, and their edge can be described as invincible.

Lin Haijiang stood at the bow of the ship and lectured all the participants of the Zhenyuan ship: "Today is just the beginning, in the future I will buy larger ironclad ships and long-range guns, in the future we will build our own ironclad ships, and in the future, in our Chinese waters, foreigners will never be allowed to run amok!" In the future, when we are strong, we will go to their doorstep and plunder them, so that their land will become our land, their money will become our money, and their women will become our women! Everyone said it's good! ”

"Good!" For a time, including the soldiers on the ship, the brave people also cheered, since ancient times, it has been said that good people are not soldiers, good iron does not nail, in fact, there is still a certain truth, this soldier is not everyone can deserve it, it is natural to be a soldier to eat food, many people are strong but have no skills, and have no property to defend themselves, through the war to change their fate and social status.

Lin Haijiang really can't do anything, because most of these soldiers and sailors are uneducated, and those who can write their names are literate, and the remaining few are foreigners who came to the East with him to make a fortune, these people don't even want their motherland, can you still talk to them about patriotism? Nationalism? Lin Haijiang has done it once to play the piano with the cow, and he will definitely not do it the second time.

For the captured pirates, Lin Haijiang first made righteous remarks, saying that some soldiers who were still fantasizing about how many pirates could get this time to loot the goods were red-faced, and their dirty plans were annoyed, fantasizing that one day they could stand there like Lord Lin and reprimand the pirates.

However, what happened next was out of everyone's imagination, and after Lin Haijiang commanded his soldiers to beat and torture the pirates captured on two cargo ships, he immediately led the fleet to the lair of Redbeard Said's on Kingfish Island.

This is the basic process of Lin Haijiang's trilogy to deal with pirates, Lawrence has implemented this plan before, and robbing pirates can be said to be the main source of wealth for Lin Haijiang in front of him, after all, the navy is a gold-absorbing black hole, and it is not something that an individual or organization can afford.

In addition to the material support, for the spiritual support, Lin Haijiang pinned all his hopes on the students and orphans sent to Prussia, and he had already arranged for several extremely radical nationalists such as Wang Jiaoren, who had recently been collected and simply met, to Prussia.

These so-called righteous men who are still obsessed with opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty are not Lin Haijiang's best choice, but at the moment he has no other choice, which also prompted Lin Haijiang to make up his mind to personally train a group of political commissars similar to later generations, after all, an army without a soul cannot be called an army.

One of the two iron bones that support the navy is an advanced ship, but the most important thing is the military soul! The unstoppable, heroic and fearless military spirit is the true will of the Navy.

Soon, Kingfish Island appeared in Lin Haijiang's telescope, and the Zhenyuan ship slowly hung up the battle flag in the east wind!

(It's so helpless, the snow and ice crushed the fiber, and it's only now been repaired!) Don't say anything, I've sinned, I'm wrong, I'll give three chapters a day next week to atone for my sins!
