The roar of artillery sounded faintly in the north, and Zhang Huan raised his telescope to look north, but no ships appeared in the camera. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Five miles northeast." Zhang Huan gave an order to the first mate.

The first mate Mao Ping respectfully accepted the order and left, Mao Ping was actually three years older than Zhang Huan, but the sea is not a place for age, here is the military merit, compared to the experience of sailing.

Zhang Huan was the first to discover the enemy in the battle in the waters of Xiaoliuqiu, warning other warships, and won the bloody battle.

Zhang Huan looked at the bulging sails, an hour ago the sun was collected by the clouds, and now the wind suddenly rose, and the swells began to increase, one after another big waves hit the side of the Shi Wansui, and the 400-ton body of the Shi Wanse shook very much.

Zhang Huan looked up at the gloomy sky, I am afraid that heavy rain is coming.

Taking advantage of the sidewind, the Vanzai traveled several miles northeast at full speed, getting closer and closer to the place where the cannon was fired.

Zhang Huan and Mao Ping looked northwest with telescopes, only to see several ships shelling each other entangled.

Two of them were the patrol ships of the Broken Army, they were more unique in shape, and they were also fought by Galen ships, and the round hulls of the ships did not need to be seen to know that they were shogunate sailors, and the ships sold to them by the Dutch were also unique.

Zhang Huan was very puzzled, it is said that the speed of the patrol ships of the Broken Capture Army is much faster than that of the shogunate sailors, and the encounters in the past half a month have already explained the problem, how to fight endlessly.

"Full speed ahead and behind the enemy's flank." Zhang Huan said.

"Yes." Mao Ping walked over and shouted to the sailors.

The Vanzai did not immediately turn due north, but continued to travel at full speed to the northeast for three or four miles. Then turn north. It was to block the back road of the shogunate's warships.

At this time. The sound of artillery on both sides of the war gradually stopped, and Zhang Huan estimated that the fierce battle had been a long time, and he needed to cool down his artillery.

Arriving at the east of the battlefield, Zhang Huan ordered to turn due west, at which point the side wind turned into a crosswind, and the Shi Wansui tilted very much when turning.

Zhang Huan's legs are nailed to the deck, and he has grown up on the ship since he was a child, so that he has no discomfort with the bumpy life at sea.

In the telescope. I saw four shogunate navy warships surrounding the two Breaker patrol ships.

Zhang Huan saw that the mainmast of a patrol ship was broken, and it was estimated that it was precisely because one of the three mainmasts was broken, which affected the speed, that he was caught up by the enemy and killed.

At this time, the two warships of the shogunate sailors began to turn around, no need to ask, this is to meet Shi Wansui, they want to come and see Shi Wansui is a circle bigger than them, and they can only take two first.

"The whole ship is ready for battle." Zhang Huan commanded loudly.

The guns on the deck sounded, and the gunners, musketeers, and gunners of the whole ship were busy.

Zhang Huan took a closer look at the opponent's warship. They are slightly larger than cruisers and are very round and pleasing. It seems to be sturdy enough, which is the merit of the Dutch warship.

Now these two warships are a bit miserable, the side of the ship is in tatters by the projectile hit, and there are several large holes that are extremely conspicuous, but fortunately they are not on the waterline, which does not affect their navigation.

At a glance, these big holes are the results of Thiago's can opener, which shows the power of Thiago's cannon.

When the two sides approached three miles, the two opposing warships began to face each other sideways, and the gun windows on the side sides opened.

Zhang Huan roughly counted, there were about ten cannons, and there were more than 20 huge cannons in the whole ship, which could be regarded as a terrifying existence in this sea area.

"Captain, let's go to the lower deck and take refuge." Mao Ping looked at the formation and said.

"Well, okay, thank you." Zhang Huan had to go down to the lower deck, which was stipulated by the ordinance, otherwise once the captain was shot dead on the deck, and there was no one to command, the fun would be great.

"Matters within the duty." Mao Ping straightened his chest and said.

The first mate has never been shot, don't envy Zhang Huan for being able to avoid the cannon safely, Zhang Huan also stayed on the deck back then.

Boom, the opponent's artillery began to roar, the two ships were shrouded in smoke, and their bodies were shocked by the fire of ten cannons and drifted to one side.

Almost at the same time, the ten long-barreled guns on the side of the Swanse also opened fire.

Hiss, hiss, whistling sound came and went, several projectiles swept over the hull of the ship and hit a large column of water, and a few entered the water before reaching the hull, and the Shi Wansui passed through this water curtain hole.

Zhang Huan and the two guards had just walked to the entrance of the lower deck when the hull of the ship shook a little, and the hull also made two loud bangs.

Zhang Huan supported the handrail of the stairs with his hand, and cursed in his mouth, this son of a son of a girl is lucky enough.

Indeed, the first firing of the test cannon on Sanli was a two-shot hit, and it was indeed lucky.

Zhang Huan and the three hurriedly walked into the lower cabin.

The enemy's projectiles left deep bullet marks in the hull, and the twelve-pounder cannon, of course, was not small.

Of course, compared to the blow they received, it was nothing, the ten long-barreled cannons of the Shi Wansui fired at a warship, two of which were 36-pounder long-barreled cannons that were giant hammers, but unfortunately they did not hit, but two 24-pounder long-barreled cannons hit the hull of the opponent, and the hull on this side was the intact hull.

Of course, it was a large hole in it, a projectile was embedded in the plank, and two large dents appeared on the side side.

The other party's hull shook violently for a long time before it subsided.

The other shogunate naval warship was amazed by the power of the Ming cannon, which was really a giant cannon, and at the same time, it was also fortunate that the Ming did not take the lead in firing at them.

The two sides opened fire almost simultaneously after a hundred breaths, and the two shogunate sailor warships were again in a big explosion of character at this time, and four shells hit the Shi Wansui, but compared to the thick gangways of the Shi Wansui, their guns were of a smaller caliber.

The three 36-pounder guns of the Shi Wansui still did not hit, and even the 24-pounder guns did not hit this time, and the 18-pounder guns hit three of them, except for leaving large bullet marks, the two sides did not inflict substantial damage on the other side.

"Mao Ping, order to leave the necessary sailors on duty, and the other sailors to enter the cabin to avoid the guns." Zhang Huan shouted at the entrance of the lower deck.

It had already reached more than a mile, and Zhang Huan was afraid that the other party would start to attack with scattered bullets, and this attack would not pose any threat to the hull of the ship. But the damage to the sailors was extremely serious. Great damage to rigging.

Really. In the next attack, the ship that had not been shelled fired a scattershot, and the whistling sound of this projectile in the air was completely different, like a large whistle, and at the same time much denser.

Ping-pong rang out on the deck of the Vanse, and some sailors wailed as wounded, while one sail was shot down and two mainsails were broken.

The ping pong sound ends. Sailors and medics who could have deck compartments ran out to begin rescuing the wounded and taking over.

The wound was caused by the blow of iron particles the size of a pigeon's egg, and the flesh was very horrible to flip, and the screams of the wounded made the deck no longer calm at this time.

And the thirty-six-pounder cannon of the Shi Wansui finally hit the opponent with a shot, opening the opponent with a large hole, and the artillery crew inside must have been damaged.

When the two sides approached a mile of land, the opposing side fired a salvo from the undamaged warship, and did not use scattered bullets again, because the destructive power of the solid bullets at close range was great.

The other, more heavily damaged ship, had five guns spewing flames, and the rest of the crews were damaged in three shellings.

The Vanzai was shot one after another. One of the projectiles entered the compartment and destroyed a twenty-four-pounder long-barreled cannon. Killed and wounded four gunners of the Broken Army.

The firing of the Shi Wansui was the roar of nineteen huge guns, and the salvo of the largest artillery group made the Shiwan Sui's hull disappear in the smoke of gunpowder, and the huge roar shook the entire sea.

Seven of the 10 18-pound, 24-pound, and 36-pound can openers hit, especially the two 36-pound and one 24-pound Thiago projectile, which brutally opened three huge holes in the side of the enemy ship, and the remaining projectiles killed a bloody corpse in the cabin.

One of the projectiles happened to hit a projectile dump, and in an instant, a huge burst of fire burst out, destroying everything it encountered with a powerful impact.

Flames and smoke erupted from the gun windows and deck openings, and then the side side was almost empty, the cabins inside were exposed first, and some of the guns and projectiles fell into the sea, while the upper deck collapsed into shape, and the mainmast was crooked.

Most of the ship's casualties were scattered at sea.

The violent scene made the sailors of the Broken Army on the Vanzai also dumbfounded, it was so violent, I had never seen anything like this, it was simply a house demolition.

The sailors of the Broken Army were dumbfounded, the soldiers of the Shogunate Sailors on the other warship were already scattered, they were not novices, but the previous battles were just shelling, taking sides, killing the other ship and capturing it, and there was nothing else.

This time, this Mingren giant ship was too powerful, and it dismantled a ship with four salvos, but it couldn't be beaten, it really couldn't be resisted, it was too ferocious.

The ship stopped playing for a moment, and it began to turn away.

At this time, the two patrol ships and the two shogunate warships that began to ping-pong each other also saw this tyrannical scene.

Due to the departure of the two shogunate warships to deal with the Shi Banzai, the two Broken Army warships were able to breathe, and their artillery had a great advantage over each other, but they were slightly inferior by two against one, and at this time they resumed one-on-one, and the other party who had been suppressed had no temper.

Seeing this situation, the two shogunate warships certainly didn't think that the three warships of the Broken Army, one big and two small, could still retreat in their entirety, what should they do, the thirty-six strategies are the best, which country is proficient, of course, the names are different.

There was a ship whose mainsail was damaged, and of course it was impossible to pursue, so he could only watch the other party leave safely.

It's just that the ship that fired the scattered bombs couldn't run, and its round hull fled at a speed far from that of the Vansei, and it didn't take many miles to catch up.

In the face of Shi Wansui's full anger, this Xiaoqiang actually resisted six bombardments, and even gave Shi Wansui another casualty, of course, this is also the last madness.

It was spread out on the sea with holes in it, and it flew a white flag.

It's just that Zhang Huan, who came up in anger, how could he let him surrender, anyway, with the support of Lord Zhao Lie, what are you afraid of.

The Vanzai turned the bow of the ship and continued the demolition with the guns on the other side, and after two rounds the enemy ship slowly sank into the turquoise waters.

When the Vanzai approached the two Broken Army patrol ships, the soldiers on the two ships lined up neatly on the deck to salute and thank them.

Zhang Huan accepted this kind of respect and gratitude with other soldiers in high spirits, and for a while he was full of emotion, the Tao boy in Shidao small fishing village never thought that he could have the glory at this time. (To be continued.) )
