After the pirate ship hit the rocks, it did not run aground and continued to move forward. Looks like it shouldn't be a big deal. However, through the clairvoyant mirror, Zhang Zhun was still able to deduce that the bottom of this pirate ship should be leaking. The hole may have been plugged by the carpenter for the time being, successfully stopping the influx of seawater, so that it will look fine.

However, in the heat of battle, the vibration generated by the firing of the cannon can still easily tear the hole. Not to mention if it's a salvo. No matter how much you try to repair the hole in the bottom of the ship, it is impossible to withstand the powerful recoil generated by the salvo. In other words, the combat effectiveness of this lucky ship is about to be greatly reduced.

"Fire!"

"Free Fire!"

Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu successively issued similar orders.

The enemy ships were scattered, the salvo was not very effective, and they simply fired freely. Hundreds of guns, free fire, that's also quite impressive. As long as a cannonball lands on the pirate ship, it will have some effect. At the same time, free fire also reduces the recoil of shelling. In fact, the salvo of this era is not a real salvo at all, but everyone's shooting is as concentrated as possible.

Rao is like this, every time he shoots intensively, the strong recoil still makes Fuhai and Ning Hai involuntarily deviate. The deck was also shortened to less than a foot from the sea. Fortunately, there were no big waves, otherwise, the sea would have surged onto the decks of Fuhai and Ninghai. The current Fuhai and Ninghai are teenagers, carrying a heavy burden of 100 catties, and if they are not careful, there may be big problems.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The constant sound of artillery was heard. Two floating turrets, almost enveloped in a cloud of firelight. As the sky gradually darkened, the fire from the muzzle of the gun became clearer and clearer. Every time a cannon is fired, the sea near the muzzle of the cannon is illuminated by the light of fire. All the cannons are constantly firing shells. A series of shells fell on the sea in front of them, stirring up a high column of water.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A small number of shells landed on the corsair's ship, causing damage.

Screams kept coming, apparently a pirate had been hit. Some pirates were killed and injured on the spot, and some pirates were thrown directly into the sea. More pirates, however, were hit by the flying wood chips and debris, bleeding profusely and screaming.

But, those pirate ships, keep going. They had to move forward. Without accurate hydrographic information about the waterway, they simply could not turn around. If you suddenly encounter a reef when you make a U-turn, or if you hit each other together, it will be a tragedy. Therefore, the pirate ship risked being shelled and broke in directly.

A small number of solid bullets are obviously not able to sink a large warship, especially such a large fortune ship. The shells landed on the deck, and at most they smashed out one crater after another. As for falling on the side side, the power is even weaker. It seems that large ships of this type, in the position of the side side, are wrapped in raw cowhide. It may not be a lot, but it's enough to defend against most of the damage of solid bullets.

For these advancing Fukubunes, as long as they have been shelled, they can return fire. Therefore, even with a certain number of casualties, the pirates still rushed forward with a frenzy.

"Brothers! Velocity! ”

"Speed! Brothers! ”

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right now!"

On top of Ninghai, Zhou Zhengyu was shirtless and shouted excitedly.

Due to the fierce artillery battle, there was a steaming scene above Ninghai. Because of the victory in the battle, as well as the tense work, every warrior felt hot all over. Gusts of north wind blew, only blowing away the white smoke, but they didn't feel the slightest cold. In fact, most of the gunners took off their padded jackets and only wore short coats and cannons inside. Everyone felt that it was more comfortable to throw off their arms and do it.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Heavy shells, continue to be fired.

At this time, the pirate ship, due to the angle, could not fire, which was a great opportunity for the Tiger Navy. Even if you can't sink the pirate ship, inflict maximum damage on them. Even if a solid bullet does not sink the enemy ship and knocks the enemy ship beyond recognition, it is good.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Sure enough, as the shells continued to be fired, more and more solid shells fell on the pirate ship. The damage caused by a single solid bullet is indeed not very large. However, the scattered damage adds up to a lot of money. Occasionally, solid bullets can also deal some irreparable damage.

The pirate ship at the front, the beam above the mast, was broken. A sailman was caught off guard and fell directly from above, falling into a patty. As a result of the broken beam, the sails of the ship, which caused the ship to tilt as well. Fortunately, the pirate sailors were still very strong, and some of them quickly re-tied the ropes and pulled the sails right.

Zhang Zhun saw this scene from the clairvoyant mirror, and could only shake his head regretfully. It's too far away. The distance is too far, the hit rate of solid shells is too low, and even if there is such a good opportunity, it is impossible to seize it. If the distance between the two sides was shortened to within a few hundred meters, as if the opportunity had just passed, the gunners would immediately change the chain bullets or grapeshot bullets, and smash them in a row, and the sailors of the pirate ship would all fall off the mast. The sails of the pirate ship can also be severely torn, causing the pirate ship to lose its ability to maneuver. Unfortunately, it's still too far.

Despite this, the deck of this pirate ship was smashed into potholes, as if it were the head of a leper. On the deck, there were still a few corpses of pirates. There were also pirate wounded, struggling painfully on the deck. The other pirate sailors, busy with their ships, were too late to save their companions.

However, thanks to the ruthlessness of the pirates, the pirate ship still broke in. Eventually, it managed to get within range of Sanli's artillery. Immediately, it began to adjust its course, aiming its side at the floating casemate.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

The pirates finally fought back.

The whistling shells fell around the floating battery, splashing countless water.

It's a real spar!

The pirate ship has finally found a chance to fight back!

Subsequently, the other pirate ships, each within range, quickly aimed their side at the two floating gun emplacements. Judging from the movements of their boats, Zhang Zhun knew that these people were indeed professional pirates, and their actions in controlling the ships were very skilled, much more powerful than the Daming sailors he encountered. If our navy has such a level and advanced ideological education, it will definitely be able to crisscross the four seas and be invincible.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

After finding the right place with their cannons, the pirates attacked with all their might.

The two No. 2 ships, the two No. 3 ships, and the two Haicang ships all aimed their sides at the two floating batteries, and then fired shells at the fastest speed. They used the same Franco-machine guns, the same structure of sub-mother guns, five rounds in front, and the rate of fire was very fast. After a while, the cannonballs rained down on the left and right of the two floating batteries.

The large-scale artillery battle is finally in full swing!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Shells constantly fell around the two floating batteries, splashing high columns of water. The sea water is also constantly stirred, gradually forming waves. These waves, for floating batteries that are only less than three feet high, are absolutely dangerous. Fortunately, there was no wind at this time. Otherwise, as soon as the wind blows and brings up bigger waves, it can directly flood the two floating batteries.

Occasionally, a cannonball landed on top of a floating turret, making a dull sound. The surface of the floating turret was covered with thick cotton cloth or reinforced with raw cowhide. As long as you don't hit someone, it's fine. Some of the spherical projectiles, unable to smash through the thick tough cotton cloth that covered the deck, were instead bounced up and rolled back and forth on the deck.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Sun Ronglu shouted menacingly from behind.

Finally got into the range of the cannon, and he finally had the opportunity to teach the other party a hard lesson.

In fact, several pirate ships are already scarred, and each ship has a certain number of casualties, and there is also a certain amount of trauma on the surface. Overall, though, it's fine. In exchange for such a price, in exchange for the opportunity to directly confront Zhang Zhun, Sun Ronglu thinks it is worth it.

For the level of artillery bombardment of the pirates, Sun Ronglu has absolute confidence. Anyway, they also fight at sea all year round and are very professional gunners. As long as there is a chance to fight back, Sun Ronglu has the confidence to defeat those two monsters.

Sure enough, Sun Ronglu saw through the clairvoyant mirror that the cannonballs shot by the pirate ship basically fell around the two monsters, constantly splashing high columns of water. At the same time, there were a considerable number of shells, which fell on top of the monster. Unfortunately, after the shells fell, they did not cause any major reaction.

Soon, Sun Ronglu realized what the problem was. The guns of the corsair were distributed on both sides of the ship's side, and at the same time, they could only use the cannons on one side to bombard. In other words, at the same time, they had a maximum of fifty guns for firing. Not to mention that there were three more ships in the middle that could not be shot. What really came into play, probably, was only forty guns. Compared to the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces from the two monsters, this kind of firepower is really a bit weak. No wonder you can't cripple each other.

"Keep going!"

"Keep getting closer!"

"Get closer!"

"Prepare your ships for hand-to-hand combat!"

Sun Ronglu quickly gave an order.

He is determined to fight Zhang Zhun hand-to-hand!
