Chapter 903: A new military port

Just one volley, the trebuchets on the opposite side were all dumbfounded, and the raging fire ignited, and in the light of the fire, some people screamed, some people ran with their feet, and some people jumped into the sea with the flames of their whole bodies.

The two ships at the front took the opportunity to approach, and before they could stop, the soldiers on board jumped down one by one and killed them on the pier.

On the dock, dozens of people rushed out with weapons, but more of them rushed out with their legs. For the soldiers of the Agni Death Battalion who had already reached the shore, this last bit of stubbornness was like a little foam flying up in the sea, a wave swept over, and in an instant there was nothing.

After the first round of fire, the thunderbolt on the Changyang ship only stalled slightly, and the second round was shot out again, expanding the scope of the blow to the body a little.

At this time, there was almost no resistance on the island, Zuli went out to sea, took almost all the strength with him, and some loyal people left on Hulu Island became yesterday's yellow flowers in the blink of an eye under such a stormy blow.

He Ying was not surprised by this result at all, but he must not have paid attention to the battle situation on the island at all, but his eyes widened, and he looked at a total of six thunderbolts in front of and behind the three decks on the Taiping ship without blinking.

The Taiping ship and the Changyang ship are sister ships, and the equipment is exactly the same, just a round of salvo from the Changyang ship, it is like a cloud of fire suddenly rising, the point is not the secret order of this blow, but the speed of the strike that it shows closely.

Between the two blows, there was no more than a few breaths of time. He Ying, who has been a pirate for most of his life, naturally understands what this means.

In sea battles, when the two ships are a little apart, they attack each other with trebuchets, but the trebuchets are bulky, like a large ship of 3,000 materials, and it is great to be able to install two. And the rate of fire is strange, in naval battles, striking a moving warship is more of a deterrent, if you really want to hit, you have to rely on luck. After the two sides approached, the smaller stone cannon was the main force of the attack, but the stone cannon was very small, and the damage caused to such a large ship of 3,000 materials was actually limited, and its main purpose was only to kill and injure the soldiers on the ship. Similar to the heavy crossbow, it is a great threat to small boats, but for such large ships, it is just an itch in the boots.

Therefore, in the current naval battle, what really determines the outcome is actually the final broadside battle, when the ships of both sides approach, and the sailors fight with knives to decide the outcome.

But now looking at the Changyang and Taiping, He Ying suddenly found that it seemed that the pattern of naval warfare was about to change the dynasty. The number of long-range weapons on the Changyang is equipped and the rate of fire is fast enough to make the long-range strike weapons in the previous naval battles rise from the chicken to the status of the main weapon.

Just now he noticed that a salvo on the Changyang had nearly fifty iron bullets, covering a considerable area, in other words, in naval battles, it was no longer a matter of chance, this was not a precision strike, but a covering shot. And more importantly, the thunderbolt uses iron bullets, and they are red-hot iron bullets.

As long as one battleship hits, not to mention the casualties, the fire caused by it alone is enough to make the opponent scramble, and a ship, if it hits several, I am afraid that it will be finished.

Before he had seen the attack power of the Changyang Ship, He Ying still thought that with all the three big ships of the Ning Clan, the second prince would at least have some confidence to talk about conditions, but now, He Ying felt how ridiculous his thoughts were. In the face of such an attack force, even if the three warships of the Ning clan besieged one of the Changyang ships, they would only be beaten.

The Changyang ship only needs to pull a certain distance and use thunderbolts to sink the opponent's battleship.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and looked at Qin Feng's face, even more afraid. And Ning Ergongzi, at this time, was even more stupid looking at the Changyang ship in front of him.

"Zeyuan, what do you think? He Ying, what do you think? Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, if a few years ago, I led a warship with such an attack power, what would that naval battle be?" He Yingqiang suppressed his trembling hands and said.

"Far away, if there are 100 warships like this, can they run rampant on the sea?" Qin Feng looked at Ning Ergongzi.

"Your Majesty, don't say a hundred, there are only ten, the sea is so big, you can go anywhere!" Ning Ergongzi's voice trembled a little.

Of course, he was talking about ten main warships, and if other auxiliary warships and logistics supply ships were added, it would be the scale of hundreds of ships.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qin Feng was very satisfied, after the Thunderbolt was modified, it was installed on the battleship, and the range was indeed not as far as on land, but in the naval battle, it occupied an overwhelming advantage, and such an advantage was enough to change the combat mode of the naval battle.

"Let's go, we've taken control of the dock, let's take a look at this gourd island." Qin Feng waved his hand and walked towards the lower deck, Ning Zeyuan and He Ying followed closely, but his demeanor was a little more respectful than before.

The boat slowly approached the dock, and Qin Feng led the people down steadily from the gangplank. At this time, Huo Guang and the soldiers on the ships in front of him had completely controlled the small island in front of him, and he was closely chasing the fleeing pirates along the small beam towards the big island in the rear.

The group walked to the highest point of the island, turned around, and looked at the sea, Qin Feng couldn't help but nod again and again, "It's really a good place." ”

The whole island was divided into two parts, the small island in front was arranged as a military area, in addition to the dock, there were also some long-range throwing weapons, of course, now they have all turned into a pile of garbage, which was bombarded by the Changyang and turned into a piece of debris.

Zuli still has a certain military talent, but a pirate is a pirate, his vision is still shallow, and his strength is limited, so he really can't change any tricks.

"If the dock is expanded, it should be able to accommodate ten warships." Standing at the top of the island, Qin Feng pointed ahead and said, "This place is unique, it is a good military port that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a fortress is built on the dock, and the place we are in now can ensure the safety of the dock by arranging long-range weapons." ”

Turning around, he pointed to the rear again: "Military barracks, school grounds and other military facilities are set up here. It only takes a defensive force of more than 1,000 people to make the enemy cry out in vain. ”

Everyone present is a military expert, and of course they know the terrain of Huludao, and this is indeed the case. The waterway is narrow, but beyond this stretch of the area, there is a good harbor inside.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look on the Big Island." Qin Feng led everyone along the small beam towards the big island behind. At this time, the search for the big island continued, and groups of pirates who remained on the island, their families, and some people who were probably captured were being gathered on a clearing at the moment.

Climbing to the top of the big island and having a bird's-eye view of the entire big island, Qin Feng sighed.

"What a nice place, actually occupied by pirates, look, there are mountains, fresh water, and barren fields that can be cultivated, here, it can be turned into a self-sufficient military base." Pointing to the large-scale freshwater lake under the mountain, Qin Feng laughed, what he was most worried about before was the water source problem on the island, seeing this freshwater lake, then everything could be solved.

"Your Majesty, are you going to build a military port here?" Second Prince Ning asked cautiously.

"Of course, with such unique conditions and such a critical position, it is really intolerable not to set up a military port here." He looked at Ning Zeyuan with a smile: "Your Ning clan has been walking this sea area for many years, haven't you thought about setting up a military port here, first, it can replenish the fleet that sails far away, and second, if you get stuck here, you will be stuck in the throat of this sea area, even if it is the Zhou clan, I'm afraid I will have to buy a route for you, right?" ”

Ning Zeyuan said with some embarrassment: "The Ning clan does not have enough financial resources, and they don't have such ambitions. ”

Qin Feng smiled and nodded: "After all, the pattern is a little smaller." Ning Zeyuan, in the future, we will build a military port here, and this work will be carried out at the same time as you seek the patriarch of the Ning clan. After you take power, the core resources of Ning's shipyard will be transported here one after another, and in Quanzhou, there are many things that are still inconvenient. ”

"Yes, as Your Majesty wishes." Ning Zeyuan nodded again and again.

"Of course, during this period, we not only have to defeat Brother Li's fleet, but also clean up Zhou's fleet, and only when we subdue them first can we carry out the work here." Qin Feng said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Zhou Clan's fleet is stronger than the Ning Clan." Ning Zeyuan said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, soon, our third battleship will be launched, and we will have enough strength to pick them up by then." Qin Feng didn't care, "When this military port is built, I will officially set up the Maritime Administration, Ning Zeyuan, when the time comes, you will be the director of this Maritime Administration, of course, it will not be open to the public for the time being, this institution will also be located in this military port, in the whole world, there will not be a few people who know your true identity, you are outside, you are still the identity of the patriarch of the Ning clan, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Ning Zeyuan's body was shocked, the director of the Marine Administration.

"The Director of Marine will be responsible for the overall management of all maritime matters, shipyards, fleets, foreign trade, and even foreign operations at sea. Zhou Li, He Ying, and Zhou Yangfan will all be under your tent, don't you want to be the biggest pirate on the sea? Then show me what you can do. ”

Ning Zeyuan never thought that what Qin Feng threw out was such a big meat bun, coordinating all maritime affairs, Zhou Li would take refuge in His Majesty the Emperor several years earlier, and he would be able to suppress Zhou Li as soon as he stood up? Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but have a gloomy color, and he unconsciously glanced at Zhou Li.

Seeing Ning Zeyuan's expression, Qin Feng said lightly: "Zhou Li is a talent who commands troops to fight, but the Maritime Safety Department is involved in all aspects, and he can't do it." ”
