Three hours before the time was released, two patrol ships from the southeast province, "Kaohsiung No. 42" and "Kaohsiung No. 37," were patrolling the waters of Dongshan Island.

Looking at their side numbers, you can see that they belong to ordinary warships, but no, the veteran captains command all the battleships with the front numbers.

In fact, the captains of Kaohsiung No. 42 and Kaohsiung No. 37, one named Zhang Shili and the other named Zhao Tianjing, are both young people who have just obtained their captain's licenses.

However, no matter how young and vigorous they were, they thought that they could turn the sea over, and seeing the huge pirate fleet that appeared in front of them, Zhang Shili had a feeling of panic.

Here's the good news: the big fish have been found!

The bad news: the big fish are too big!

First of all, they released carrier pigeons for communication and let them fly back to Taiwan with information to inform them of the enemy's arrival.

There were no radios before, and the clippers were too slow, so it was natural to use carrier pigeon troops.

Seeing that the other party was still far away, Zhang Shili, who commanded Kaohsiung No. 42, simply sailed the ship closer to Kaohsiung No. 37, and the two ships helped each other and talked face to face.

"Senior, what should we do?" Zhang Shili asked, he and Zhao Tianjing are high-achieving students from the Naval Officers Academy, Zhao Tianjing is one level older than him, and Zhang Shili is a research maniac, the two of them get certificates at the same time, and serve as captains at the same time, but Zhang Shili respectfully calls Zhao Tianjing a senior.

"What else can I do!" Zhao Tianjing was dressed in a brand-new military uniform, although he had just taken up the captain, he had the temperament of a senior officer, and said coolly: "If you encounter the enemy, you will fight!" ”

"Fight in the face of the enemy!"

Zhang Shili muttered and repeated these four words, gasping for a cool breath, "Snow!" ”

The disparity between friend and foe is too great, and there is no possibility of victory!

Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Tianjing sneered: "If you dare to escape, I dare to say that your captain's military badge will be taken off after returning to Hong Kong, and you will never be hired!" ”

Thinking about it, Zhang Shili had no choice but to accept his fate and said: "Okay, then let's fight!" ”

"How do you fight?"

"Kill the enemy!" Zhang Shili gritted his teeth and said.

"Then you're doomed too!" Zhao Tianjing shook his head and said: "There are so many enemies, you will definitely be defeated, it is a pity that you die, because the navy has spent so much effort to train you, I hope you can serve in the navy for many years, you have lived up to the expectations of the overseers, and you have failed the teachings of the instructors!" Also, this battleship is not yours, you damaged this battleship, and you also lost the lives of nearly 200 people on this battleship, and after you died in battle, not only did you not have a medal, but you were even deprived of your status in the navy! ”

Zhang Shili calmed down and said, "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

"Easy!" Zhao Tianjing said lightly: "Far Battle!" ”

"I see!" Zhang Shili remembered the knowledge he had learned before, and said to Zhao Tianjing: "Thank you!" ”

The two captains raised their fists and shouted: "Our army will win!" ”

Immediately separated, they shouted in unison: "Prepare for battle!" ”

Dangdang, the bell that indicates that it is ready to engage in battle rings.

They command their warships and slaughter them on a much larger fleet of pirate ships!

……

On the pirate ship, Liu Xiang put down the binoculars and said to Yu Xianke, the military advisor beside him, in confusion: "Are they crazy?" How dare you come and hit us? Just two cruisers? Thought they were battleships? (The concept of battleships and cruisers, pioneered by the Southeast Province, has been known to various water forces)

Yu Xianke shrugged and said, "God knows! ”

At present, the Southeast Fleet had two warships in front of them, but Yu Xianke was faintly worried about his plan.

In his opinion, it was difficult for the bandits to stay in Guangdong Province and be attacked by Xiong Wencan and Yan Changwu, two ruthless people.

These two guys, one with huge land resources and the other with a powerful fleet, cooperate seamlessly, and the heroes of the sea are difficult to please in front of them.

Now the only way to survive is to leave Guangdong Province.

Yu Xianke even came up with a strategy, one is to attack the east and the west, deliberately sent some ships, and even three Chinese military ships, with great fanfare, pretending to be the main force, in order to attract the southeast fleet to Hailing Island.

As for the pirate fleet, it will go north, and it is expected to reach the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions through the waters of Fujian Province, and even force Taiwan and harass the coastal areas of Fujian Province on the way, so as to warn Yan Xiaozi: Don't deceive people too much!

Be a man and leave a line, and see you in the future!

Only in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can there be a way for bandits to live.

The relationship between Lao Xiong, the governor of Yue, and Xiaoyan in Taiwan is very iron, and in the words of some people who slander them, "They are just like two fathers and sons!" ”

Xiao Yan was deeply cared for by Lao Xiong, and everyone gradually learned that Xiao Yan never set foot on the land that was not his own area, and in order to take care of him, Lao Xiong ran to his warship with the dignity of the governor; The magistrate who provoked Xiao Yan in Taiwan was sent to Taiwan by Lao Xiong to take office......

The officials and businessmen who colluded with the pirates did not dare to move, they dared to provoke Xiao Yan (after all, Xiao Yan's warship could not go ashore), but they really did not have the courage to offend such a great god as the governor of Liangguang.

In feudal society, there are "broken county orders" and "raided prefects", which provoked the governor and governor whose status was far above the prefect's county order?

Lao Xiong's military and political grasp it, in the Liangguang area, he really saw people kill people, saw bandits kill bandits, and walked sideways, no one dared to provoke him on land.

Liu Xiang's bandits have no supplies, no cover, and can only rush to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where there are connections that can give them a place to breathe.

Moreover, the relationship between Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions is complicated, and Xiaoyan will definitely not be as comfortable as in Guangdong Province.

Liu Xiang took Yu Xianke's suggestion, but he didn't expect to encounter the cruiser of the Southeast Province and dare to challenge the bandit ship brigade whose strength was even higher than them.

……

"The wind is northeast, grab the wind!" Zhao Tianjing ordered.

Two cruisers rode the winds that grew stronger on the sea, coming from the northeast direction of the pirate fleet.

Determined not to add even an inch of yaw, they kept looking for ways to turn their ships closer to the wind in order to give them an advantageous position in battle.

You can see the young and hairless faces on the battleship, with a lot of fear, the captain is young, and most of the crew members are young, sixteen or seventeen years old, most of them joined the army at the age of sixteen, and after three months of sailor training, they went to serve on the ship.

Originally, they expected that their main duty was patrolling, but after gaining experience, after a year or two, they began to transfer to the capital ship, but they did not expect to encounter such a powerful enemy.

Many people are reciting Mazu's blessing, pay attention, and when they are in a hurry, they all recite "Mazu" instead of "Mazu Niangniang". (If you read the words of your mother, then she will come to save you after dressing up, hoping that you will still be alive at that time)

"Don't be afraid, take out the results of your usual training, follow orders, and make sure you are fine!" Zhao Tianjing said calmly.

Many people are worried that it is strange if they are not afraid, but when they are on the boat, they can't escape if they want to, so they have to fight hard.

Under the leadership of Kaohsiung 37, Kaohsiung 42 followed, the two cruisers quickly approached the left side of the pirate fleet, the port side gun doors on the two ships opened, the guns stretched out, pointing at the enemy, everyone on the ship who did not operate the sails held muskets, all the people were mobilized, looking nervously watching the opposing fleet getting closer and closer, many people's faces were pale, and their teeth were fighting.

The captain is a rookie, and many of the crew members are also rookies, and they are still going into battle for the first time.

Zhao Tianjing raised his palm and shouted: "Steady, steady!" ”

One of the pirate ships rushed towards it, Zhao Tianjing looked at its coming, measured it quickly, and suddenly shouted: "Burst, fire!" ”

From the first 12-pounder gun on the port side, fire was fired one after the other.

Boom Boom!

The first gun flew over the bow of the ship, and the gunner did not pay attention to the advance amount, and the second gun hit the plane, could it be that the gunner was still sleepwalking in his dream last night? The third cannon worked hard, hit the water five or six meters away from the boat, splashed a wave, splashed on the boat, can it be a fate?

Zhao Tianjing did not say that his command ability was inferior, but sent someone to threaten: "Notify the gun deck, if you can't hit, I will punish them for eating my!" ”

"The captain said, if you can't hit again, you will eat everyone's!" The person who sent the message to the gun deck was so nervous that he would have misheard it at such a close distance!

But intimidation clearly worked.

Three guns in the middle of the port side shot one after another, and all of them hit the ship!
