Take the mall to Datang

"Brother can't be wrong. I saw it at the time. This huge cargo ship came from Cangzhou. The final destination of the merchant ship is Lingnan. The news from the spies in Cangzhou should not be wrong." The third son Wang Shan said.

"Is the spy you sent okay? It's been a few months. Since December, we will go to sea to search for it every once in a while. Do you know if the officers and soldiers in Fuzhou find out, it will be a big trouble." Lin Xing said.

"Second brother, do you think we should return to the island?" Lin Xing asked another middle-aged man next to him.

"Since it's out, let's wait a little longer. According to the description of the third child, the goods on the big ship are enough for our island for a year. It's better not to give up easily and don't provoke Fuzhou officers and soldiers. Once we startle the snake, we won't be able to start. Here's the chance." Zhang Yao, the second child, said.

"Well, the second child reads a lot and listens to him." Lin Xing said.

The two treasure ships sailed slowly and didn't know that there was an imminent crisis in front of them. Satisfaction was the lead ship because it wanted to lead the way, and the Xiaolong behind it was renovated. Now the bow has been repaired and strengthened.

Yuanshan is using a telescope to look at the scenery in the ship building of Satisfaction, the sea is vast on the left, the sea is on the right, and the land is on the right. This is the scenery along the way, but it is a bit far from the shore, and you can't see anything with the telescope. Occasionally, you can see it. Saw some fishing boats but still far away.

"Master Hou found a fleet in front of him, it should be pirates." The observer in charge of ultra-long-range vision came to the ship building to report.

"Pirate?" Yuan Shan was surprised, not because he was afraid, but how the two treasure ships were fighting when they were fully loaded.

"How many ships are there?" Yuan Shan asked.

"It's too far away to see clearly. It is estimated that there will be no less than ten ships, and one of them is a large warship from the Sui Dynasty." The observer said.

"Play chess for Xiaolong so that Xiaolong, as the main ship, will go all out to get rid of them." Yuan Shan said.

Acceleration is raising the sails, the speed can not be increased too much, but at this time we must work hard.

Ueda Yuan on the Xiaolong had already received the news, and immediately asked the soldiers on board to prepare. The crossbows and bows of the gods were all ready.

Lian Jia and Song Kangde were notified that the craftsmen turned gunners would face pirates this time, and it was up to them at the critical moment.

Lian Jia had an excited expression on his face, and Song Kangde said nervously from the side: "Why does Jian Cheng feel that you are very excited?"

Lian Jia was in a state of excitement. The last time he shot the key shot when hunting whales, he was very nervous at the time, but after hitting the target, he became excited instead. The excitement was simply irresistible.

"Let them taste the power of our military supervisor. As long as you beat the pirates, you may be able to be promoted to the third rank. Today, His Majesty values ​​people with military exploits very much. If you have to perform well, even if it is for yourself." The battle must be won," Lian Jia said.

Song Kangde looked confused, he was almost nervous to death, but at this time Lian Jia's words still made him listen.

The simple truth is to seek wealth and wealth, if you don't desperately want to stay in the Military Arms Supervision as the chief bookkeeper for the rest of your life, seeing that Xin Liangchou has become a coaxer in front of His Majesty now, he has to communicate with His Majesty from time to time, is it true that he is an official? Can you not envy.

These people are actually lucky. It is not so easy for the current military inspector to continue to be promoted. The stall is too big. Although he is now the head of the military inspector, it is still meaningless. What does it mean that the instrument supervisor is responsible for keeping accounts.

"Jiancheng, you are right, since we are fortunate to go through this voyage with Yuan Pushe, we must seize the opportunity." Song Kangde made up his mind.

"Okay, get ready, we're going to catch the pirates by surprise." Lian Jia said confidently.

Traditional naval battles are close combat, but they are different. What they have to do is to sink the incoming ships before they approach.

"Brother, look at the boat." Wang Shan called.

"There is indeed a ship. This ship is really huge. Look at it, there are two ships. They are too close to the shore to allow their ships to sail to the Fuzhou Navy's protection zone. Please inform them to speed up." Lin Xing said.

"Brother, you can see the other party's ship from such a distance. It seems that the other party's ship is too big. If we fight in close quarters, it may take a lot of effort." Zhang Yao said.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about holding the opponent's boat with the shackle. It's just because of the huge size of the boat that we have so many people. It's just a dream for them to defend." Lin Xing laughed.

Twenty ships, large and small, all speeded forward.

Tian Yuan saw the opponent very quickly, the ships were all medium-sized ships, the speed was much faster than them, it was absolutely impossible to avoid them at the current speed.

"Get ready to fight." Tian Yuan shouted, after getting a general understanding of the situation of both sides, he decided to fight with the other party.

The craftsmen were all in the cabin, observing with ultra-long-range binoculars. Lian Jia was very excited and now the two sides were still keeping a long distance, but he was not nervous at all.

Seeing that the opponent was still far away, Lian Jia immediately came to find Tian Yuandao: "General Tian has a lot of pirates. The firearms we wear will intercept them from a long distance. If we are approached by ships at that time, we will rely on you. If we really can't resist Finally, I hope that General Tian will ignite the gunpowder at the bottom of the ship, and this ship must not fall into the hands of others." Lian Jia said solemnly.

"Don't worry, someone will do it if that time comes." Tian Yuan said.

Lian Jia looked at Satisfaction again, he had nothing to say, if it really made Pirates succeed, Satisfaction would still carry third-rank officials, but there was nothing he could do.

After explaining to Tian Yuan, now the entire Xiaolong ship has been taken over by the military inspector. While seeing that Tian Yuan is good at naval warfare but knows nothing about new weapons, so at this moment Lian Jia has become the leader, although it sounds a bit Nonsense, but if you want to use the power of firearms, you must do so.

Chapter 757 Shelling

"Why did the boat in front of the boss turn around? Could it be that they are about to surrender?" Wang Shan said.

Lin Xing felt that things were a little strange. It was not the first time they had robbed a merchant ship, but it was the first time they had seen a ship waiting for a pirate ship to pass by.

If things happen out of the ordinary, there must be demon Lin Xing and others who have lived at sea for most of their lives and have encountered many things, and they feel very strange.

"Boss." Wang Shan said.

"The two boats will be fine if they rush over." Lin Xing said, he must not back down at this time.

Xiaolong completed the ship's direction change, and when the opposing fleet was approaching, Lian Jia ordered the wooden boards at the muzzle position to open the artillery, and all the cannons were pushed out.

The pirates saw clearly what happened on the Xiaolong, and suddenly there were so many irons on board, which made people feel scared.

"Boss, look what's on their boat." Wang Shan called.

Lin Xing was also in a daze right now. How could he know what it was? When they were struggling with this matter, their ship had already entered the shelling range.

"Is Jiancheng still not firing?" Song Kangde asked.

"Don't rush to let them get closer. The artillery on the other side is ready. When the first batch of artillery enters the cooling state, the second batch of artillery will go on top. We only have one chance to aim at the big one." Lian Jia said.

Craftsmen are not soldiers, but they do a lot of things like aiming and firing, because craftsmen are very good at testing the accuracy of artillery, so they are more authoritative than well-trained artillery soldiers at this time.

Song Kangde observed the moment with a telescope and did not dare to relax.

On the deck, Tian Yuan's Tang Dao was out of its sheath, waiting for the opponent to come up.

"The archers are ready, and they are ready for a while to follow the command." Tian Yuan said.

The soldiers' expressions were very serious, and the morale of the life-and-death battle was immediately raised. The Xiaolong ship is very big and tall, and it will have a great advantage on board. The soldiers staying on the ship are like standing on a city wall for defense. It is very difficult for pirates to climb onto big ships at sea.

Yuanshan saw Tian Yuan and his soldiers preparing to win the enemy on board the Satisfaction, and the Satisfaction was behind the Xiaolong. During the battle, he was most afraid of pirates rushing aboard their ship, because the Satisfaction did not have much combat effectiveness.

"Fire!" Lian Jia gave the order, and the first round of more than a dozen cannons fired.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh!" Huge shells were fired from the hull, and the thrust generated by the gunpowder caused the cannon to move backwards. The bases of the cannons are equipped with sliding wheels, which are now fixed so that the cannon will go backwards but will not deviate. .

At the same time as the loud noise sounded, the Xiaolong shook, and the black smoke from the muzzle drifted up directly.

The sudden situation and the Ang pirates were at a loss. They heard a loud noise and then saw something flying over in the sky.

"Boom boom boom!" A round of shooting, several pirate ships were singled out, and a huge iron ball hit the ship causing a lot of damage.

What followed was the wailing of a group of people.
