[Today's second update]

The sun is blazing and the sea breeze is blowing.

Dolphins sailing with ships, flying fish flying through the waves, and a three-masted ship galloping under the blue sea and blue sky, stirring up waves to splash everywhere.

This warship was used by Deng Haonan to teach the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, with two layers of gun decks, and only the upper deck was equipped with artillery for the students to practice.

Deng Haonan took the pocket watch, stepped on the battlement, and looked at the sea. At this time, Lin Feng came to his side and said to the master.

Deng Haonan asked, "Are you all resting?" ”

Lin Feng nodded and replied, "Yes! I just made a round, and everyone was so sleepy that they all fell asleep as soon as they lay down! ”

Deng Haonan smiled slightly and said, "How is it, how does it feel to catch thieves?" ”

The thief is the captain, Lin Feng never dreamed that Deng Haonan would arrange this position for him, but after these days of practice, Lin Feng realized that Deng Haonan was deliberately cultivating him, and replied respectfully at the moment: "Thank you for the support of the teacher, the students feel very fulfilled!" ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "The position of catching thieves is not something that ordinary people can do!" You must know that a warship is actually equivalent to an artillery battalion of the army, a combat unit! One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, this thief is not so easy to do, it requires courage, strategy, and familiarity with the personnel and belongings of the battleship! ”

Lin Feng replied, "The students have been taught!" Students are grateful to be able to listen to the Teacher's Church! ”

Deng Haonan smiled mysteriously, ordered someone to put a small sampan into the distance, and then said to Lin Feng: "Go, prepare to ring the bell, first-level battle alarm!" ”

Lin Feng asked in surprise, "Teacher, have they only slept for half an hour?" ”

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "It is only at this time that their true combat effectiveness will be tested!" ”

Lin Feng thought for a while, and immediately understood what Deng Haonan meant, so he hurriedly ordered someone to ring the bell.

Dangdang! A hurried bell rang, and then all the pirates climbed out of the cabin amid the roars of Deng Haonan and the Yigan Jiang people, and it was obvious that their faces were full of tiredness and complaints, but they seemed to be accustomed to Deng Haonan's devastating training, and they would soon take their places.

All the personnel performed their duties, Oshijiang and the helmsman were responsible for determining the position and course of the warship, and the two Shangdou quickly climbed to the watchtower on the top of the main mast to observe the 'enemy situation'. The wigglers and wrenchers quickly hoisted the sails and, in accordance with the orders given by the thieves, quickly used the guò control rope to rest the course and speed of the warship. The commander and his men immediately loaded the gunpowder and shells, then opened the gun doors and pushed the guns into combat positions.

All of them are going on in a tense and orderly manner.

Shangdou shouted loudly: "The target is one and a half miles away!" Thirty by Southeast! ”

Lin Feng immediately ordered after getting the number, "Fifteen on the right helm, lower half a sail, and prepare for the port side artillery fire!" ”

After the order was given, the ship slowed down and turned to the right, and the commanders on the port side immediately corrected the aiming of the guns with a guò ruler, aiming their guns at the small sampans floating in the distance, ready to fire at any time.

"Fire!"

As the order to catch the thieves was issued, the gunners on the port side quickly lit the fire rope in turn.

Knock knock!

As the fire rope burned out, the six jack tiger cannons on the port side spewed out tongues of fire, and the gun carriage sat back sharply for a short distance before being fixed by the pulley lock, and then the shells flew out of the gun chamber, penetrated the smoke at the muzzle, and flew towards the target ship with a whistling whistle.

Bang bang bang!

But when I saw that there were six columns of water near the small sampan in the distance, the huge wave suddenly overturned the small sampan.

After the port side gun salvo, the men quickly cleaned the chamber with cotton stalks and prepared for the next round of firing.

"Full sails! Left full rudder! ”

In order to improve the hit rate of the artillery, Deng Haonan adopted a half-sail deceleration to fire, which could keep the warship as stable as possible, prolong the roll period, and give the gunners enough time to aim before firing.

However, in this way, after a salvo of the side guns, it was necessary to immediately accelerate with full sail to prevent being bitten by enemy ships.

Soon, the ship turned around, and the starboard guns were ready. With the order of the thief, the starboard gun fired another salvo at the small sampan in the distance.

After a roar, the waves receded, and the sampan was still floating on the surface.

"Dismiss the alarm!" Deng Haonan glanced at his pocket watch, it took seven minutes, although it was a little different from the time he had in mind, but it was much better than before.

"Hey! Didn't sink it again! Lin Feng was in the same mood as the other pirates at this time, but Deng Haonan smiled and said, "Not bad!" Not bad! Everyone did a great job! You must know that you are playing a small sampan, and it is naturally not easy to hit the target small! If it is replaced by a large warship, at least seventy percent of the two rounds of artillery shells you just now hit! ”

Yes! A group of pirates heard Deng Haonan's praise and was really happy for a while.

Then Deng Haonan shouted again: "Everyone is very good at this live-fire training at sea!" Now I announce that this ship is back, and tonight I will reward the three armed forces, and I have a treat! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately shouted excitedly, whistles and cheers were endless, and the training at sea for a week had made them suffer a lot.

At this time, they had basically mastered the tactical knowledge and skills of naval artillery warfare from Deng Haonan's devil training, and compared with the previous chaos and carelessness, they had made great progress, and even they themselves could feel it deeply.

Seeing the excitement of everyone, Huang Zupei walked to the battlement tower alone, holding the battlement, and looking at the sea. He no longer has doubts about Deng Haonan's ability, and in addition to jealousy and envy, he also has a trace of gratitude in his heart. During this period of crazy training, he has always had an opinion, and he always finds fault with Deng Haonan. However, Deng Haonan did not target him because of his faults, but patiently explained the relevant details to him, pointed out his shortcomings, and even praised him sometimes.

At first, he didn't appreciate it, but after a long time, although he still kept his distance from Deng Haonan at this time, he no longer stumbled Deng Haonan in official affairs.

Looking into the distance, Huang Zupei's thoughts flew back to the days when he first started training. In the first half a month, Deng Haonan did not teach them artillery skills, but trained them in queues and passwords every day. For example, standing in a military posture under the scorching sun, turning left and right successively, running and walking in unison, etc., were considered extremely boring things by Huang Zupei. Later, they were asked to stand in a military posture in the case of heavy rain, and Huang Zupei even almost turned his face with Deng Haonan at that time. It wasn't until Deng Haonan once ordered them to go to the sea that he understood Deng Haonan's true intentions. Because the impression of that time was too deep for him, more than 100 arrogant and domineering pirates were actually subdued by a fifteen-year-old hairy child, without Deng Haonan's order to stop, they went into the sea, until the sea water passed the root of their ears, Deng Haonan ordered to stop.

Huang Zupei remembered that when he was standing in the military posture, whenever the pirates couldn't hold on, they always asked Deng Haonan how much time was left to finish, but Deng Haonan pointed to his pocket watch and said that there were still a few minutes left. However, the pirates didn't know what the minutes meant, so Deng Haonan said count! But Deng Haonan forgot to count it, and then played Laipi and started to count again, and it took a few hours to let everyone rest.

Huang Zupei recalled it at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head, with a rare smile on his face!
