686 Crossing the Ocean

"They are reducing the pressure on sails and beating the bastard next to the main sail rope. Fight me!" Kaohsiung Ship No. 78 hit the pirate ship of Shanghai Eagle Flag, and Captain Yan Zhang instructed the Marines.

After a few shots, the bastard hurriedly avoided him and failed to hit him.

Similarly, Yan Zhang also became the target of the opponent's attack. Both sides were gunning and gunning. A 1-pound shell penetrated the auxiliary sailing film at the lower position on the starboard side of the No. 78 ship, piercing through two holes in a row, flying over about one meter above his head. Yan Zhang had a sharp eye and could feel the shadow of the shells flying over, and even more so that the aversion to wind above his head. He couldn't help but shrink his neck!

"Don't let the sails face the wind, lower the auxiliary sails!" He shouted as he looked at the positions of the ships on both sides: "Deflect to the downwind, and the downwind tilt the bow of the ship!"

His action was to make the ship parallel to the pirate ship. When the bow of the ship turned around, he ordered the open-air deck artillery to prepare: "The port artillery captain supervised...", and then someone reported: "The captain was beaten to death, let's change the captain!"

"Damn!" The news annoyed him. He saw the port captain lying in a pool of blood, his neck full of blood.

The Southeast Army's armored protective gear is a four-piece set, including helmets, neck protection, armor vests and armor pants. Among them, helmets and vests are essential options. Not equipped with equipment is a violation of military discipline. Neck protection and iron pants are selected, and can be installed or not. Because the neck protection makes the head unable to rotate, everyone calls it an iron neck. The same is true for armor pants, so soldiers do not like to use them very much, and none of them, including Yan Zhang.

The captain's neck was fatal, so he was unlucky.

Yan Zhang immediately changed a captain of the artillery team. When the new captain on the open deck was organizing the fire, the cannons on the artillery deck were shooting happily, and the pirate ships were shot one after another.

Yan Zhang stood behind a 6-pound cannon and looked forward along the front of the muzzle. His eyes touched the open deck of the pirate ship. He sneered: "Look!" When he felt that the ship was being lifted up by the waves, he quickly moved to the side to ignite the fire. With the hissing sound, the shells sprayed out shots. Due to the recoil force, the gun body and the gun stand made a sharp sound.

"Okay, good fight!" people cheered. The shotgun shot was hit hard enough and knocked down a group of people. Almost no one appeared on the opponent's deck and all shrank.

"Stop fighting!" Yan Zhang stopped after a shot. He used a telescope to look at the enemy ship. Because the ship was shaking, it was difficult for him to maintain balance. The sun was fierce. He placed his hand on the other end of the mirror to block the sunlight for observation. He saw three guys wearing red turbans on the stern cannon on the other side of the ship were busy shooting. He was a little active, so he landed the landers to focus on taking care of them.

After a gunshot, the three guys fell down one, while the other two shrank their heads.

However, the other party was waving and shot a lot of guns, which made the wood crackle like a fire. Yan Zhang heard a sailor cursing after a while, "Wang Xia was in trouble. Someone whispered very close to him: "The gun hit him between his legs, and I don't know what it was like!"

This is a serious problem. This is the disadvantage of not wearing armor pants, but wearing them affects walking and is also very stuffy.

In short, the helmets and armored vests in Southeast Mansion are still very effective. Although some people are injured, fatal injuries are rare.

The cannons of the ship were constantly ringing. Yan Zhang estimated that many cannons were almost one round of shells in nearly a minute, which made the other party overwhelmed!

The gunpowder purchased before was not in vain. The Southeast Army that had been trained hard is not something that pirates can fight against. After all, using gunpowder to shoot cannons is turned into silver into smoke. Except for regular troops, most people will not be willing to spend gunpowder training.

The smoke filled the air, and Yan Zhang made a judgment that the pirate ship with the sea eagle flag had increased the wind pressure on the sail, allowing the sail leaves to eat the wind and be subjected to enough wind. In this way, the pirate ship ran to the front of Kaohsiung Ship No. 78 and became a disadvantage. The idea was nothing more than chain bombs, so it could break the mast of the Chinese warship, make it lose the help of the wind, and let the waves make it shaking and unable to move forward.

No matter what, "Fire all!" Yan Zhang shouted, and the warship was forcing the pirate ship.

He went down into the gun deck compartment and saw that the cannon was ready, so he ordered: "Starctic cannons are fired, ready, and attack! Sergeant Zhao, let the brothers who use muskets be ready, and when our ship is parallel to them, aim at them, aim directly below, and attack when he hears the order."

Yan Zhang returned to the open-air deck and said to the sailors: "Operate the sail cable, and the left rudder is full!"

He stood behind a copper 6-pound cannon on the starboard side, half bent down, holding his breath, focusing all his energy on the brass cannon and the turning sea view. His ship kept turning, and all the oars of the pirate ship were rowing desperately, causing foam on the sea surface, but it was too late. When the ship No. 78 was still one tenth away from the pirate ship and was about to be parallel, and the ship was swaying down to the lowest point, "It's now!"

With the captain's order: "Fight!" The cruiser's side guns came cleanly and neatly. Fourteen guns fired colorful fireworks, and all the muskets also opened fire at the same time. When the smoke of guns dissipated, the Chinese cheered because they saw a big hole in the hull of the pirate ship. Then they roamed the guns. The pirates above were panicked and in chaos, and those who could not hide were all lowered.

Sure enough, it is natural to catch thieves. It is indeed difficult for thieves to fight. The pirates on both ships regretted them together.

As regretful as they were, the captain of Yasha Twelve, Hao Sizhong, was scolding in his heart, "The supply ship is not fun at all!"

The firepower was too weak, and the opponent chased him to fight, but he couldn't run away. He could only circle around Kaohsiung Ship No. 78, hoping to get the fire cover of friendly ships. However, even if the shark flag pirate ship was used together, even if the circle was larger than the supply ship, he could use the hull of the supply ship to block it, so that the artillery fire of Kaohsiung Ship No. 78 could not attack it!

Its artillery was poured unceremoniously on the supply ship, causing the supply ship to shake continuously. It was hit by the cannon, and wood chips squirted out and exploded into the sky!

Yan Zhang next to him was anxious when he saw it, and abandoned the pirate ship that was being beaten hard to fight the shark-flag pirate ship. Unexpectedly, the pirate ship was sliding like a fish swimming in the water. He actually used the Yasha 12 ship as a cover, and was separated from Yan Zhang by the Yasha 12 ship. Yan Zhang was slow and could not chase and hit the other party!

"It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers!" Yan Zhang became fierce and ignored the supply ship. He focused on the pirate ship that was focusing on the Sea Eagle Flag, pressing it to hit!

On the other hand, Officer Hong Xun also had the same idea, beating the pirate ship with NiuTouqi.

Well, the pirate ship with the Shark Flag also hit the supply ship... The pirates fired chain bombs, although Hao Sizhong had lowered most of the sails, the chain bombs cut off the cables, making the mast bare like something. The pirate ship made the supply ship without sails and could not eat the wind and could not move, and then used solid bombs to bounce the flesh!

Hao Sizhong cursed wildly in his heart, making up his mind that he must go to the battleship to be the captain after returning to this trip!

The battleship has strong firepower, and it is great to hit others!

Not a big talk, Hao Sizhong is not old, but he has a very old experience. He has been a cruise ship captain and a supply ship captain. He used to be a staff officer in charge of the fleet's combat matters. If he puts a battleship on the outside, as long as he has, it will be his turn to be the captain, as long as he has to go back alive!

"What's worse than being beaten by a supply ship by one gunboat is that the supply ship is beaten by two gunboats!" Hao Sizhong accepted his fate, and the damn pirate brig caught up!

Without saying a word, the brig joined the ranks of the supply ships. The shells flew away, and they could only be used as turtles. Hao Sizhong was suffering! (To be continued)
