Seeing Through

Looking at the four black muzzles next to him, even Xu Zhengping felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

The sailors and others on the deck and in the cabin were also stunned by this scene. If all four cannons were fired at this distance, the cabin would probably be penetrated!

After all, this three-masted ship was a converted merchant ship, not a warship with strict structural reinforcement. If it was hit like this, it would either die or be disabled.

Not only will the personnel suffer heavy losses, but even the subsequent naval battle will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Xu Zhengping's anger surged, and he immediately jumped out and rushed towards an artillery fire!

He pressed his palm on the muzzle of the cannon, and his strong inner strength surged out, pushing against the cannon and its base and violently knocking back the gunner behind him who was loading gunpowder.

At this time, the gunners operating the cannon on the left and right sides saw Xu Zhengping rushing in from the window of the cannon. They were stunned and forgot to light the fire door downwards with their torches.

Xu Zhengping didn't dare to delay at all. He threw his left and right hands to both sides and threw the hidden weapon!

Suddenly there was a scream in the cabin, the poisonous hidden weapon was something even a master of internal energy could not handle, let alone these sailors who were only proficient in fists and feet!

As soon as the crisis was resolved on his side, Lei Zong crushed the deck with his internal force and fell into the cabin.

Xu Zhengping shouted: "Turn the artillery and let them suffer!"

"good!"

The two of them worked together to turn the four cannons and aim them at various places in the cabin. They lowered the torches and made a loud bang!

The sailors who rushed into the cabin suddenly fell to the ground with their limbs and pieces of meat. At the same time, several holes were blasted out on the other side of the hull, causing serious damage.

The boss angrily led a group of people to kill him, but the boss of Xu Zhengping's ship also reacted and mobilized sailors to jump to the other side's ship. This time, the traitor ship must be quickly controlled to deal with the upcoming naval battle.

There were hundreds of sailors on this merchant ship. They originally planned to fire cannons to destroy Xu Zhengping's ship when two pirate ships surrounded them.

Then cooperate with the pirates to join the gang and fight together, relying on the absolute numerical advantage to directly capture them and capture the big ship.

However, Lei Zong and several others boarded the ship and demanded to see the cabin, which ruined their actions. They had to start in advance, so they were forced to fight alone.

Even though there were a lot of people, but without enough experts, they were captured quickly, and most of the sailors were killed and thrown into the sea.

The boss and other key players were brought to Xu Zhengping. Xu Zhengping was sitting on the deck, wiping the bloody Miao knife. Behind him stood Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong.

The two also fought fiercely, with their bodies covered in blood and their eyes sharp.

"Which pirate gang do you belong to?"

Even though the boss was captured, he still looked arrogant.

"I'm from Guangzhou Shipping Department! If you don't want to be accused of rebellion, it's best to let me go!"

Xu Zhengping raised his eyebrows and said, "So you have been waiting to ambush me at sea."

"You are so cunning that you guys can see through this, but now you have no time to escape. The two big ships under Xu Hai will definitely annihilate you here."

The captain's expression changed and he said to Xu Zhengping: "Mr. Xu, Xu Hai was known as General Pinghai at sea and was a subordinate of Wang Zhi, the leader of the Five Peaks Flag. However, his reputation was not very good and he often did not follow the rules.

If we defeat them in this battle, I am afraid they will suffer revenge from Xu Hai, which will be a big trouble."

The boss laughed and said: "Who asked you to kill our young master! Now even if you call the sky, the sky will not respond, and the earth will not work!

General Ping Hai's two ships are much stronger than yours. If you are willing to capture them without hesitation, we, the master, will only be able to kill this villain when we arrive at the Guangzhou Shipping Department.

As for the rest of the accomplices, our master has always been good at making good use of others. If he is willing to join the Ming navy, wouldn’t he have a much better future than following this powerful man?"

Lei Zong slapped him across the face, knocking out half of his teeth.

"What the hell, you're on the verge of death, and you're still trying to sow discord!"

Xu Zhengping narrowed his eyes and looked at the captain of the ship, "Captain Jiang, how do you think this person should be dealt with?"

The boss of the ship said firmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we are all people who abide by the rules and will never give up our position just because of one or two words to sow discord.

What's more, Xu Hai himself is not a man of rules. If he fell into his hands, becoming a slave would be the best end. How could he have the chance to meet the Guangzhou envoy?"

What he said was actually to the wavering sailors around him. When everyone thought of Xu Hai's style and Captain Jiang's personal prestige, they immediately strengthened their confidence.

Captain Jiang said: "Mr. Xu, cut the remaining people with bloody wounds, hang them under the side of the ship, and soak them in the sea, waiting for sharks to bite them. This is the cruelest punishment at sea!"

"What a good idea. You have people start working on it. It's almost time to reach the naval gun attack range and prepare for battle."

Captain Jiang waved the Yanling knife and said loudly: "Brothers, leave two of them here to deal with these bastards. The rest go to the cabin and follow my orders. We have good firepower and will kill these bastards."

Pirates!"

Immediately afterwards, two sailors cut several bloody wounds on the legs and feet of the captives on the merchant ship. Then, while the group of people were wailing for mercy, they were hung from the side of the ship and soaked into the sea.

In the bloody battle just now, many bodies were thrown into the sea water, which attracted a large number of sharks.

The dozen or so people were hoisted into the sea. Immediately, a large group of sharks came out smelling blood and bitten the few people who were still alive.

In extreme fear, they watched themselves being eaten one by one by sharks.

Xu Zhengping and the ship's boss stood on the deck, while the others had taken refuge in the cabin. The warships were engaged in a battle at sea. The two sides would first spray each other with shotguns and chain bombs.

Shotguns are used to clear people on the deck, while chain rounds are used to attack the mast.

Only when the distance is close enough and the opponents are locked onto each other and unable to escape, will they bomb each other with solid bullets in order to destroy the opponent's hull structure.

The boss of the ship steered the ship and said, "They have two ships. Judging from their sailing trajectory, they must be planning to outflank us.

Fortunately, the hook lock of the merchant ship next to it was not released just now. Now it is hung on one side, which can be used as a shield to withstand fire from one side.

We only need to concentrate firepower on one side to deal with another pirate ship, and I have ordered the sailors to concentrate twelve cannons on one side to increase the density of firepower."

Xu Zhengping looked at the protective plate above the rudder and asked, "Is it safe for you to steer here later?"

Captain Jiang smiled and said: "How can it be unsafe? This plate is very thick. Unless live ammunition hits directly, chain bombs and shotguns are not a concern. Someone has to stay on top to steer and control the sails. Otherwise, how can we fight?"

Mr. Xu, there is no need to worry, you just wait quietly below. When the gang war begins, your Nanshan gang members are the main force, thirty of them are much stronger than this group of sailors."

Xu Zhengping said nothing, patted the other party's shoulder vigorously, and entered the cabin first.

At this time, the sound of cannons sounded, and it was the pirate ships that had surrounded both sides that fired first!
