Yan Hongxin was slightly relieved when he heard the soldier in charge of repairing the ship say this, and then asked the soldier in charge of artillery, "What about artillery?" What about the storage of artillery? ”

"The artillery reserves are somewhat insufficient." The soldier in charge of the artillery replied with a sad face.

Yan Hongxin was stunned, in fact, the warship they were driving now was one of the few ships they secretly built at the beginning and was taken away by Xiao Xiantang.

The Dinghai Navy has been defeated many times and is not valued by the imperial court, so that they lack everything, so with their financial resources at that time, it has taken nearly ten years to secretly build a few warships, and the value of artillery shells is very expensive, they couldn't afford it at that time, so this artillery shell was actually given by Xiao Xiantang.

Even, Xiao Xiantang gave a lot more artillery shells than they could have in naval battles before, but even so, it was still not enough.

"Pass the order down, tell those gunners, pay attention to some wind directions, don't let go easily, don't try if the distance is too far, save some shells down." Yan Hongxin commanded, secretly thinking that at this time, an artillery shell may be a life-saving opportunity, which can save an artillery shell, and hit this artillery shell on the pirate ship, maybe it will be a shot to establish victory.

As Yan Hongxin was speaking, he heard a rapid cannon sound sounding continuously.

Yan Hongxin, who was already worried about the insufficient storage of artillery shells, immediately frowned when he heard this voice. "Who did it?"

"...... "A group of soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little dazed, they have always been in this bottom warehouse, naturally I don't know what happened to the artillery warehouse."

Yan Hongxin also realized this, and knew that he had asked something stupid, so he immediately walked out, intending to go over to see in person what was going on.

"Which one is wasting artillery?" Yan Hongxin angrily broke into the artillery warehouse, wanting to catch the thief who wasted artillery and beat him up.

However, after he ran in angrily, he saw Mu Chonglan manipulating the cannon in front of the cannon.

"My little aunt and grandmother, this thing can't be played." Yan Hongxin hurriedly stepped forward, and didn't call any nine girls, and directly called Mu Chonglan his aunt and grandmother.

Mu Chonglan turned his head and glanced at Yan Hongxin, then pointed to the opposite side and said, "I hit them." ”

"Hit ...... Hit? Yan Hongxin was a little surprised, looked out through the small window of observation, and was stunned for a moment, because the warship opposite had been crumbling, as if it would sink at any time.

Realizing this, Yan Hongxin bit the root of his teeth and said, "Go on." ”

When Mu Chonglan heard that Yan Hongxin asked him to continue, he immediately adjusted his direction, and a cannon blasted out.

After the artillery went out, Mu Chonglan glanced at a few soldiers next to him, and those soldiers also had eyes, and immediately stepped forward to fill the artillery shells.

And Mu Chonglan did not wait in front of this artillery, but walked to another cannon with artillery shells, continued to adjust the direction, and bombarded a cannon out, with the blast of this artillery, the warship on the opposite side finally had no time to repair and sank.

Yan Hongxin looked at the other side in disbelief and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. "The Nine Girls never said that you would know this."

Mu Chonglan frowned: "I won't, but I have good eyes, I can see where they are, my ears are good, I can hear the sound of water waves, and I know where they are going to hide, so that even if there is wind obstruction, I can hit them." ”

In fact, whenever there is a naval battle, the warship will not be stupidly stationary, waiting for others to fight, so as long as you find the opponent's rules, and then adjust the direction of the muzzle to attack at any time, you can easily hit the opponent, but Mu Chonglan didn't understand these truths himself, so there was no way to tell Yan Hongxin.

Sure enough, Yan Hongxin was a little confused when he heard Mu Chonglan's explanation, but he quickly reacted, it turned out that the reason why Mu Chonglan was able to hit the opposite boat was actually more because he heard the sound of water, and he planned that the other party would go that way, and then counting the wind direction, it would be a hundred hundred hits.

Originally, I thought that if Mu Chonglan had any good methods, he would let his gunners learn some, so that they could use this good method when they fought in the future, but at this time, this method was not learned at all, after all, the soldiers under him were all normal people, and none of them had the ability to overturn a ship.

With Mu Chonglan's "lesson from the past" of sinking a ship, the overall morale of the Dinghai Navy has also improved a lot, and the originally arrogant pirates began to tense their scalps one by one, and the pirates holding the sails tightened the rope in their hands, nervously listening to the order, and planning to change direction at any time, and the pirates in the bow and stern of the ship also began to tightly grip the rudder, just waiting for an order to immediately turn around.

Compared to the pirates on the deck, the pirates who were in charge of the helm and the guns below could not see the situation clearly outside, they could only listen to the guns outside, feel the vibrations of the cabin caused by the guns, and then began to panic, because the more unknown, the more fearful.

"Okay, why do you want to withdraw?" Mu Chonglan looked at Yan Hongxin and couldn't understand why he suddenly ordered a retreat.

Yan Hongxin saw Mu Chonglan looking at him like this, smiled a little helplessly, and explained: "Nine girls, you see, there are so many pirate ships, but they are divided into sizes, and the big one is where the pirate leader is, if we fight with that ship, our situation will be very dangerous, so it is better to step back a little, avoid its edge, and first break the smaller pirate ships one by one, and then consider dealing with the larger pirate ships." ”

The larger the pirate ship, the more guns on it, other warships are a cannon or a row of attacks, such as this larger pirate ship but not use, it is like a fan, the attack area is very wide, their level of warship, there is no power to fight at all, so retreat is the best choice.

Mu Chonglan listened to Yan Hongxin's words and nodded, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

Yan Hongxin didn't expect Mu Chonglan to understand anything, but just ordered to go down, retreat, and then face the battle.

Mu Chonglan followed Yan Hongxin's side, listened to his orders, and quietly studied.

Strictly speaking, Mu Chonglan is not a person who is good at learning, but she is a very responsible person, she feels that since she has taken over the Dinghai Navy, then the Dinghai Navy is also the person under her, just like when she bought those disaster victims, she has the responsibility to take care of those disaster victims and not let those disaster victims starve to death.

Now, it's her responsibility to take these Dinghai with her and learn to be someone who can lead them to victory.
