Both pirate ships have 32 guns, one of the bow is like a yaksha, and the other is like a bull's head, which is vivid and mighty.

The two pirate ships with the momentum of the double ghosts slamming the door pounced fiercely, and the advantage of the Tainan No. 15 ship immediately turned into a disadvantage, the ship turned slowly, and the other party killed!

Huang Min was experienced, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately sailed the battleship to the front of the bull-headed pirate ship, and it was in a "T" shape, with the ship being a horizontal bar and the pirate ship being a vertical bar.

But the other party was obviously also a good hand, their sails were wide open, the speed of the ship was fast, and they rushed to the front of the Tainan 15.

When the two ships met, the pirate ship fired!

The cannonballs landed on the water in front of the bow of their ship, very close, stirring up white columns of water, and the light of the fire reflected the low-hanging clouds.

There was a commotion and noise from the front, and one of the guns on Tainan No. 15 hit the enemy and overturned, and Huang Min shouted loudly: "The starboard gun opened fire and hit hard"

The cannon was discharged, and the hull trembled.

When the smoke cleared, the Nanhai 15 began to turn to starboard, preparing to pass through the wake of the enemy ship in order to bombard the stern of the pirate ship with its port guns, and then shoot at the whole ship. But the corsair did not give them a chance, and it turned its steering wheel, and the hull of the ship spun around, and met the enemy with its starboard side to meet the attack of our port guns.

The artillery of the two sides exchanged artillery, and when the smoke of gunpowder had just cleared, Chen Yuxue, who was standing on the open-air deck, clearly saw that most of the pirates were Chinese, with a few red hairs in between.

Chinese pirates and red-haired fans converge, a nest of snakes and rats!

Among them was a red-haired fan, tall and red-haired like a red-haired lion, and when he saw the well-dressed naval officers of the southeastern province here, he turned around and picked up a musket, and mounted it on the bulwark to aim this way.

As if aiming at me, Chen Yuxue involuntarily felt the muscles in her face and chest tense up, and her breath was held.

It wasn't her who was aiming, and after the gun rang out, she fell to the ground with Captain Huang Min!

can't help but be amazed, the red hair's marksmanship is good!

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly went to help him, Huang Min's eyes were still powerful, he wanted to speak, as soon as he spoke, he coughed loudly, coughed up blood in his mouth, and formed a bloody stain on the armor of his right chest, and then he tilted his head and fainted.

Based on the battlefield first aid skills that Chen Yuxue had learned, the captain was hit by a bullet that pierced his armor and injured his lungs.

The doctor who rushed to take off the captain's armor and verified her opinion, and when they bowed down to take care of the captain, it turned out that Mazu Niangniang blessed Chen Yuxue, and the stern of the pirate ship fired a shotgun at the Tainan 15!

The fierce wind brought by the projectile flew over Chen Yuxue's head, and there was a miserable howl on the open-air deck!

The helmsman screamed and fell to the steering wheel, and his little arm opened a large gap from his wrist to his elbow, and the flesh was blurred, and many sedan chairs flowed, and the ground was soon wet, and the steering wheel turned on its own as he fell to the ground.

Chen Yuxue jumped up from the deck, rushed to the helm wheel with a lunge and grabbed the wheel, turned the wheel sharply, and continued to sail horizontally with the pirate ship, circling the bull-headed pirate ship, while the pirate yaksha chased her behind her ass.

While controlling the ship, she shouted: "Qi Liming (clerk), go and ask the deputy captain to command!" ”

Qi Liming responded, and rushed away like oil on the soles of his feet.

Normally, after the start of the battle, the deputy captain is on the gun deck to supervise the battle, to ensure the output of firepower, and also to be the captain's backup, in case the captain is hanged, he comes to take over the command.

In less than a minute, Qi Liming returned to her side and said in a trembling voice: "Vice Captain Liu's legs have been broken and he can't come up!" ”

The opponent's artillery fire was extremely fierce, and the gun deck was beaten.

"Ahh Chen Yuxue's mind was blank for ten seconds, and she heard someone roar angrily: "Who is commanding now?" What's going on with the special M? ”

The man's voice was loud, but it was Chen Xia, the commanding officer of the Marine Corps, Qi Liming immediately explained the situation to him, and Chen Xia was speechless for a moment!

The officers came one after another, and Li Yiqin, the deputy gunner, ran up from the gun deck, and also wanted to ask what was going on with Special M? Why not issue an order?

Chief of Affairs Chen Enhua and Boatswain Tan Guansan all came, plus a few senior non-commissioned officers, their eyes were wide open, and everyone's faces were blue-gray.

A cannonball whistled in, and everyone subconsciously shrank down, only Chen Yuxue was still standing holding the rudder.

"Which of you is in charge?" Chen Yuxue asked anxiously, and she was also anxious to follow the order.

Seeing the indecision, she temporarily removed the battleship from the battle, which would not be too short, and the two pirate ships chased after her.

"It's you!" Someone answered, and everyone looked at it, but it was Wang Liusheng, a political and war officer, who came.

In order to maintain his personal dictatorship, Yan Dashao set up political and combat officers in a different way, and deployed them to various units for political propaganda and education, and to learn about the secrets of the army, and to strengthen the monitoring of the troops.

In business, the captain is naturally the greatest, but the political and combat officer has a transcendent status, and in this situation where the captain and deputy captain are absent, he almost has the power to make a decision.

Wang Liusheng said indifferently: "What is the ranking order during the battle, it is what it is!" “

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

Nodding his fingers, it is very clear that the order of power in combat is: captain, deputy captain, chief navigator, deputy chief navigator, chief gunner, deputy gunner, as for other political officers, chiefswain, boatswain, etc., these are not in the stream and cannot command naval battles.

If these six officers on the battleship hang up, the warship will be about the same, either surrender or run away.

For example, the captain, deputy captain, chief navigator, and deputy chief of navigation belong to deck officers, and have the right to determine the route and direct the navigation of the warship, and their status is definitely higher than that of the chief gunner, deputy gunner, and these officers under the cabin (their main battle position is on the gun deck rather than the open deck), the reason is very simple, the deck officer can drive the cannon to fight, but the cannon cannot drag the ship to sail!

Everyone was right when they thought about it, at first everyone only thought that Chen Yuxue was young and had very little qualifications, but they didn't expect her to be qualified.

So they unanimously agreed, and pointed to it: "It's you!" ”

"Me?!" Chen Yuxue pointed her fingers at herself, blinking.

She was pointed out by everyone, and in an instant, she only felt that her heart was beating faster, and a stream of blood rushed to her brain!

Before she could think too much, the roaring sound of the cannon woke everyone up, the Bullhead Pirate Ship had already chased closer, and its port gun was blasting towards Tainan 15!

Gritting her teeth, Chen Yuxue shouted, "Listen to my orders!" ”

Her voice trembled with excitement!

Wang Liusheng continued: "Those who dare not listen will be beheaded, I am a military judge, and those who do not listen to Second Lieutenant Chen's orders will be punished by military law!" ”

"Sir! Your command! Chen Enhua, the vigilant elder brother Chen, said that he was supporting Chen Yuxue, although her military rank was not high enough, but she commanded the whole ship, and she was the commander.

"Brother Tan, please lower the back mast, slow down, and let them catch up. Don't fire, don't fire, Brother Li (Yiqin), with all the gunners, notify the gun deck to prepare to fire! Brother Chen (Chen Shrimp), you organize the musket suppression, shoot them, don't let them beat me! Brother Wang (Liusheng), please be responsible for encouraging morale. ”

She knew that her qualifications were shallow, and she did not regard herself as a growth officer, but immediately recognized a group of big brothers, and all the big brothers listened to her orders and shouted for the officers and soldiers to act.

The pirate ship is catching up!
