"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

With the development of Qixintang's side, coupled with Hongtang's strong attack for more than a year, standardizing the surrounding sea areas, the economic conditions of Li Tianyang's team have also improved a lot. As a result, there is also excess money to invest in the construction of the team.

At this time, the Hongtang team even had a little bit of the naval battle scenes in many pirate TV and movies that later generations watched.

The flexible steering changes made the cannonballs of the pirate gang on the opposite side who first used artillery fire to ******, and only splashed waves and slapped on the faces and bodies of the Hongtang soldiers.

On Hongtang's side, although the powerful general cannons are still scarce, only one of the five warships has one in the bow, but there are no less than a dozen thousand pound Buddha cannons on the left and right wings. At every turn, more than a dozen guns that had been loaded on one side let out a rage, venting seven or eight pounds of shells on the perimeter and deck of the three enemy ships, and hitting the pirates on the opposite side of the horse and running away.

"Hehe, these guys with no eyesight, want to play artillery with us?" Wu Shu scoffed at the number of guns on the opposite warship, the specifications, and even their gunners, although his car was unfortunately hit in the first round, but in the following rounds, there was no record of the warship being hit: "You say, are they sick or not, and they still want to provoke and attack us when even the warship is obviously not superior." ”

Several team members who followed Wu Shu also looked at each other and smiled, agreeing with Wu Shu's words.

Since the firearms were equipped with warships, Li Tianyang has always spared no cost when training his team members, and even the training of artillery has used gunpowder and stone bullets.

And every soldier who becomes a gunner must also learn a mathematical knowledge at the same time, and be able to quickly calculate how far a shell can hit by the muzzle angle, the amount of gunpowder, the size of the shell, etc.

Therefore, in Hongtang's warships, not only were there more artillery equipment, but their shells were also very accurate, but many times, the enemy they faced had to force them to play hand-to-hand combat without waiting for them to fire a few rounds of shells. And although the power of the thousand-pound Franc cannon is also good, unless it hits a key place, it will be really difficult to help the warship that has been transformed by ordinary pirates for a while.

This is also the reason why many pirates in the Daming Sea rarely use artillery today.

It was rare that a group of pirates actually played an artillery battle this time, and Wu Shu and the others were of course happy to show them the extremely skillful artillery bombardment of the Hongtang soldiers.

Soon, one of the three warships on the opposite side was overwhelmed by the frequent shelling, and finally was hit by a round of shelling by the warship that did not know Hongtang, and hit the plank near the waterline on the side of the ship. The bowl of large iron bullets hit a large hole more than half a meter wide on the spot, and the wild sea water poured into the belly of the warship team unscrupulously along this large hole.

Seeing that the sea ships were gradually tilting, and finally fell to the side and could not move, the two remaining sea ships on the opposite side gave up the artillery battle one after another, and instead prepared to approach the Hongtang fleet and engage them in a bare-chested battle.

Even the scarred and crooked warship, because of the watertight compartment, although it lost its speed advantage, but because there was no danger of annihilation, it also slowly sailed towards Wu Shu and his fleet.

"No, it's been such a time to fight, and it is impossible for ordinary pirates to play hand-to-hand combat with us Hongtang when they know that they can't win, and if you don't pay attention to it, it's a situation where the whole army will be wiped out." Wu Shu faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart at this time, but at this moment, in the face of comprehensive superiority, it was impossible for him to give the order to retreat with his team members.

"Raise the flag, send three warships to attack, and solve the current enemy as quickly as possible, without sparing costs and means." At this time, Wu Shu still gave the order to attack, he only hoped that his premonition was just thinking too much.

However, the necessary precautions should also be prepared: "Give orders to the remaining warship, and order him to sail northeast, and after ten miles of range, cruise from north to south, and if there is any accident, report it immediately." ”

Immediately, Hong Tang's fleet, except for the three warships that rushed head-on towards the opponent's warships, the remaining two warships, including Wu Shu's warship, each moved in one direction at full speed, escorting and patrolling the battlefield here.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shu's premonition turned out to be correct, his warship sailed out of the sea area less than seven or eight miles, and the lookout on the mast shouted eagerly below: "Fourteen miles to the east of the north and fourteen miles to the northeast, and fourteen miles to the northeast, there is a three-masted fleet coming towards us, and the number is five each." ”

"What a gut!! Wu Shu didn't know how to be calculated at this time, if it weren't for the fact that he used the same trick to calculate a group of pirates a few days ago, and now the opponent in front of them showed a little bit of horses' feet, which made him feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't say that this time their fleet would be wiped out here today.

"Full speed back!!" At this time, with the number and scale of the fleet they have discovered, Wu Shu knows that their team is definitely not an opponent. Therefore, he immediately made the decision to return to join the other ships.

The direction of their patrol was originally Wu Shu's temporary intention to go northwest, just to prevent the other party from cutting off their back road from behind. Who would have thought that it was this reconnaissance that there was really a fleet to attack them behind.

By the time they turned around and returned at full speed, they had just caught up with another ship that had been sent out to the northeast for a cruise.

The news of this warship's return is not optimistic, although only a pirate fleet of no more than four warships has been found, but the warships they found, plus the three enemy ships that are still fighting, are enough to have the scale of seventeen warships, which is not a good sign!

But fortunately, Wu Shu is careful, now that their plan has been detected, then they will definitely not be as this group of people wish.

Under the cover of Wu Shu and his two warships, they were fighting with the three pirate ships in full swing, and the three Hongtang warships, which had an absolute advantage, did not hesitate at all, and immediately got out of the other party's delay in every possible way, got rid of the other party's entanglement, and merged with Wu Shu and their warships.

"Hmph, before you leave, you have to give these bastards a big gift!"

Wu Shu sneered and gave an order, and the five warships made a simple turn, and all the firearms were aimed at the thief ship that was unable to move.

"Fire!!"

The power of fifty or sixty firearms reverberated through the sea, and then, the battered thief ship on the opposite side was covered by columns of water that soared into the sky, and disappeared into a snow-white landscape.

No longer waiting for the result, Wu Shu and the others resolutely turned around and headed towards the southwest, avoiding the enemy in the northeast and rear.

When the splash cleared, the battered thief ship was finally overwhelmed and gradually sank towards the sea, leaving only many earth-shattering shouts on the deck and many figures abandoning the ship.
