Not to mention that Vincent was a little dazed, even the Red Flag pirates who fired the cannon were stunned, they thought at first that Mr. Li, who ordered the cannon, was a layman in naval warfare, but now that they look at it, they should really understand nothing.

"What are you doing in a daze, continue to fire."

"Ahh At Richard's warning, the pirates immediately got busy, they pulled the bolts, stuffed the shells into the barrels, and then stuffed them into the medicine packs, and when the gunner took aim, they immediately stuffed the tongs into the medicine door.

Rumble!

The barrel retreated, and a cannonball flew into the enemy's fleet again, this time the cannonball hit the enemy ship, and accurately hit a mast, and the aftermath of the cannonball was unabated, and it directly broke the mast, and the thick mast with the sail on it smashed directly into the shipbuilding, and I don't know what it hit, the battleship turned the rudder and hit the battleship next to it diagonally.

With a hammer in his hand, how could Richard only knock out the shell of the battleship, and after making sure that the skill was useful, he also upgraded the cannon on the Zhiyuan by the way.

Of course, considering that he didn't have the time to transform the shells, the upgrade was also very simple, the original front-loading artillery was transformed into a rear-loading artillery by him, and it was also reinforced, although it still used honest shells and flames, but the range was more than doubled than the original, and the rear-loading artillery also increased the rate of fire by a large margin.

Of course, there is only so much he can transform and upgrade, as for the gasoline engine and steam engine, which are only words like the gasoline engine, he can't make them, but this can't stop him from changing his heart.

Why ironclad ships are not good now, the old shipwrights have already told him, it is a matter of speed, why it is difficult for infantry to compete with cavalry, the main gap is in mobility, and naval warfare is even more fatal.

Since he couldn't make a fuss about the ship, Richard had to make a fuss in other aspects, but fortunately, he knew a lot of miscellaneous skills, so in the end, he solved this problem very well.

"Mr. Li, there is a warship led by Guo Po in front of you!" There was a sound from the lookout, Richard and Zhang Baozai looked forward, and sure enough, the three warships that had just escaped the British shelling were crossing their course, maybe they didn't mean to, but seeing that the sailors above were hurriedly loading ammunition, they didn't intend to shake hands with Richard and they didn't intend to make peace.

"Leave them alone, you continue to shell the British, and I'll take care of the ships in front." Richard gave the order and went straight to the bow of the ship, and whistled into the sea.

.....

"Mr. Li, don't you have any other means of controlling beasts?"

After blowing the last transposition, Richard squinted and glanced at Zhang Baozai, "Nonsense, can I understand how to call cats?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the battleship under his feet was a little faster, and accelerated towards the enemy ship.

Seeing that there was still less than a kilometer away, the sea in the direction of the bow of the Zhiyuan suddenly rolled up, and then, two huge foreheads were exposed, aiming at the two warships on both sides and rushing over.

"Whales!"

Heart-rending shouts were heard from the enemy ships, and then drowned out in a loud cracking sound.

The sperm whale, the largest and sturdiest sea creature with the largest forehead, is the tool that Richard called to help the Zhiyuan speed up, of course, if necessary, these two tool whales can also be transformed into ship crushers.

The sturdy forehead was directly attached to the hull of the sail warship, and the huge impact force caused the entire board of the ship at the impact to burst, and with a loud bang, the sea water desperately poured into the cabin from the hole.

Before the battleship in the middle could rejoice that it had escaped two terrible sea beasts, something even more terrifying rushed over.

How could a wooden-hulled warship that couldn't even hold meat and bones be able to resist an iron-hulled warship like the Zhiyuan, and Richard had long thought that this would happen, and under the bow of the dragon's head, he simply sharpened the bow like a sharp knife.

The warship that was hit head-on by the Zhiyuan was even more unlucky, and the sharp bow directly split it like a big knife.

This scene frightened the British not far away, and compared it, although their battleship was stronger than these three warships, but I am afraid that it was not as hard as the iron shell, if they were hit by this strange ship, their end would not be much better.

"That ironclad ship is already close, fire, fire!"

The Zhiyuan finally came within the range of the British guns, and large and small shells flew towards it at once.

However, since it was the first time that the British had come into contact with a ship of such speed, most of the shells fell behind the Zhiyuan due to their previous aiming experience, and individual shells hit the Zhiyuan, leaving nothing but a white mark.

"Mr. Li, we can pick them up by shelling them from a distance, why do we have to get so close?" Zhang Baozai asked puzzled while being wary of the flying shells.

"Because, at this distance, I can also cause more damage to them." Richard said as he picked up a thick, long black tube.

"Mr. Li, what is this?"

"Cannon."

"Cannon? What can such a small cannon do? Zhang Baozai looked at it, and it felt a bit like the bamboo cannon they put off during the New Year, but the one that Richard was carrying seemed to be iron.

"You know the, look at it."

Sou!

A puff of white smoke flew straight to the tail of a third-class battleship, and it didn't know what it was about to meet after a few shots, so it became the first warship in this world to be destroyed by the artifact Apiki.

“RPG！”

With Richard's cry of faith, white smoke broke through the wooden shell and burrowed into the captain's quarters, followed by a violent explosion accompanied by an orange-red fire that resounded across the sea.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, a large hole appeared in the stern of the battleship, the captain's room and the rudder above had all disappeared from the captain and other sailors next to the rudder, only a thick smoke erupted upwards from there, the ship stopped, the flames began to spread on the ship, and the remaining sailors rushed to the lifeboat in unison, this is not a human weapon, they don't play anymore, they want to go home.

"Turn the rudder, the monster is coming!"

"Don't stop me, I'm not fighting, it's a ship from hell!"

"God, bless us by taking this hell ship."

Looking at the smoking warships and the chaotic fleet, the telescope in Vincent's hand fell to the deck, it's over, it's all over, in front of this devil's warship, they even have a luxury of escaping.

At this moment, he forgot his mission, forgot his glory, and thought only of his wife and children in his hometown, hoping that they would receive a pension and never come to the East.
