I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

God is merciful, for these people who are anxious to die, she is very happy to accept them.

After a burst of gunfire, those foolish guys who stood up to fight back just showed their heads, and before firing the arrows and bullets in their hands, they were smashed into a sieve by the oncoming bullet rain.

And those guys who shouted to fight back didn't even put their heads up, they hid tightly, and at the same time they didn't forget to shout loudly to let others launch a counterattack.

"Damn the bastards, are they devils, we didn't provoke them at all, why attack us."

"What are you doing under the boat, quickly row the boat and retreat, retreat!"

"Doesn't the flagship have artillery? Why don't you fire it?"

Shouts of panic and panic resounded on the white-skinned pig boat, and the Ming army on the opposite side could faintly hear the sound.

The commander who commanded the gunners in the cabin on the bottom floor grinned when he heard the panicked shouts from the opposite side.

Although he couldn't understand what the other side was saying, it didn't affect his happy mood in the slightest.

Taking a deep breath of the air full of gunpowder smoke, the commander let out a low moan in satisfaction. This familiar pungent feeling made him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

He is also an old crew member, and he also went to sea with Zhu Zhangui back then.

But since the navy was reorganized back then, he has never enjoyed the thrill of face-to-face artillery shooting, collision of ships, and rushing forward to fight one-on-one.

He really missed this feeling.

There is no way, there are too many warships of Ming Dynasty, and there are only a few enemy countries around that can fight against Ming Dynasty.

There are very few countries that can fight at sea. There are many old crew members in the artillery compartment. Since they became the navy, the artillery in their hands has never been really used except for exercises.

This makes many people very regretful. They have no opponents with powerful force, and this kind of loneliness makes them feel uncomfortable.

Whenever in the dead of night, touching the cold cannon beside them, they would miss the days when they followed Zhu Zhangui on the sea.

It's a pity that after so many years, there are fewer and fewer opponents who can challenge the Ming Navy. Many people even think that maybe when they reach the age of retiring from the army, the big babies they take care of may not have a chance. The ships come to an intimate encounter.

And when they were worried, news came that they were going to sea again, and His Royal Highness was still following.

Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? That is the invincible pirate leader who led them across the entire South China Sea and some areas of the West Sea.

Isn't it good to say that there is a saying, follow the prince without worrying about fighting.

It didn't take long for them to go to sea, and they encountered a chance to fight. Although the opposite was only an armed merchant ship, it didn't affect the happy mood of the soldiers in the slightest.

Even some gunners flushed with joy and excitement, and the speed of loading ammunition was much faster than before.

"Report, the artillery is loaded!"

The report from his subordinates sounded in his ear, the commander of the artillery compartment rubbed his nose, looked at the battleship opposite which was hit by bullets and smoke, and excitedly waved down the command flag in his hand.

"fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Gunpowder smoke and fire erupted from the muzzle, and was modified into a cone-shaped shell. Under the blessing of the rifling, it rotated at a high speed and slammed into the opposite ship.

The high-speed kinetic energy brought powerful lethality and penetrating power to the shell. Coupled with the conical armor-piercing ability, the shell went straight into the hull, causing scars to the white pig's ship.

In fact, wooden battleships are not like the ones in the paper lake that will be shattered in one blow, as shown in later generations of film and television.

The ancients were not so stupid. They knew that the thicker the hull, the stronger the defense. Therefore, in this era, most warships were above the waterline, and the thickness of the defense plank was about 60 cm. Some super-large warships, such as Zheng He’s treasure ship, had The defense degree of the plank is more than one meter.

Although Daming's artillery has entered the third generation, the needs of various troops are too great, and the navy is a big player in artillery, not to mention the army is vying for it.

Therefore, in the current navy, except for some main battleships, the artillery used by many warships is still the old front-mounted smoothbore gun.

Although Daming's artillery shells and gunpowder have been improved, it is still a bit difficult to directly blast the hull of the ship with one shot for the super thick wooden plank, and it is also a hard wooden plank specially prepared for ships. .

As for high-explosive bombs, under such a thick wooden defense, the lethality may not be as good as solid bombs.

It's not that the delay fuze was not made well by Ming Dynasty, but that it was a waste of time and manpower. It's okay to simply make one or two for fun, but it's impossible to equip it to a big artillery player like the navy.

It is also because of the rigidity of the hull that during the period of sailing warships, the navy's record of military exploits was not based on the number of sunk warships as in later generations, but based on the number of sailors killed.

As the battle continued, there was almost no one on the opposite deck, and there were corpses battered to pieces by artillery guns everywhere, as well as the blood and dirty internal organs on the deck.

"Order all the ships to stick it up and prepare for the boarding battle!"

Standing in the command room to observe the battle situation, Zhu Zhangui saw that the sailors on the opposite side were hiding in the cabin and dared not come out, so he sneered and ordered the battle.

Although this will cause casualties on his own side, Zhu Zhangui doesn't care, there is no one who will not die in a war.

In fact, sinking the opponent is not a difficult task for Zhu Zhangui. Two ironclad ships are transferred here, not to mention a child with one shot. For this kind of broken wooden ship, when encountering a super artillery with a caliber of more than 200, it is necessary to survive one shot. Half disabled.

But then again, Zhu Zhangui came out this time not to fight, but to rob.

If the opponent is sunk, what about the treasures on it?What about the supply cargo above.

These are all free things. Although they are a little less, mosquito legs are still meat.

The family fortune is saved little by little, and the life of the royal family is not easy these days, so it is a little bit to save a little.

Following Zhu Zhangui's order, the ship quickly approached the enemy. Except for the gunner who continued to bombard, the other sailors and soldiers stood excitedly on the deck, waving the revolver and dagger in their hands, watching with a grinning face. With the approaching ship.

"Oh ho ho ho..."

When the distance between the two ships was about 10 meters, the old crew members who had been robbed by Zhu Zhangui many times, uttered strange screams as before to frighten the enemy, grabbed the reins and swung directly.

The people on the deck were not idle either, some of them swung the rope hooks and pulled the opposite boat vigorously to make the distance between the two sides a little closer; Prepare.

"boom!"

The old Yutou landed heavily on the opposite deck with both feet, and then rolled quickly, removing the impact of the fall.

Don't look at the old Yutou who is over 40 years old, his recklessness is no worse than those young people.

I think that when Zhu Zhangui went to sea to rob, this guy always charged forward and was always the vanguard of the team.

While the old fish was rolling his head, he observed the whole deck with sharp eyes.

He didn't care about the dead bodies next to him, nor did he dislike the blood and flesh all over the ground.

"Haha, there are two more little fish!"

His eyes swept across the deck in an instant, and the old fish head chuckled, quickly pulled out the revolver at his waist with his left hand, and shot two "bang bang", knocking down two white pigs who were hiding in a dark corner and were about to attack.

White Pig: Uncle, we are avoiding attacks, not sneaking up on you.

After finishing the two small fishes, the old fish head kicked his feet, his body slid sideways with the help of the blood and flesh on the deck, and hid in a temporarily safe place for him.Raising the pistol in his hand, while covering the comrades who jumped over, while keeping a sharp eye on the surroundings, to prevent the enemies who jumped out at any time.

This has been his habit for many years. Back then, he took down many ships with this beautiful hand and made a lot of credit.

"Pumpam..."

There are more and more people swinging here with the help of the reins, [-]% of them are old people who have gone to sea with Zhu Zhangui, and the remaining [-]% ​​are veterans who have been honed for many years.

These veterans, don't look like they are laughing and joking on the boat, but once they enter the fighting state, these guys are definitely the most elite soldiers.

The white-skinned pigs on the deck were almost gone after several rounds of shelling and gunfire. The remaining few hiding in the dark corners were also shot down by the veterans who jumped up.

Quickly cleaned the deck, and after confirming the safety, the old fish head locked his eyes on the closed cabin door.

"Guys, take it easy. These guys also have guns. Don't get bombarded accidentally. It's better to be killed in one shot. If you hit the lower body, your wife will be a widow."

Holding a short knife in one hand and a revolver in the other, the old Yutou moved forward slowly under the cover of an old partner holding a shield, while still teasing the partner behind him, sending out a friendly reminder.

"Hehehe..."

The veterans laughed in a low voice, while covering the old Yutou and the others, they were wary of the cleaned splints.

This is a veteran who has experienced countless battlefields. He laughs and curses, has a stable mentality, and has rich combat experience. He can adjust his mentality in any situation and maintain the best combat effectiveness.

In the era of sailing warships, whether a navy is elite or not depends not on whose ship is bigger or how many ships it has.

Although these two aspects also account for certain factors, for a navy, whether it dares to face-to-face and fight with the opposite side is the criterion for judging whether a navy is elite.

This is just like the troops during World War II. Only the troops that dare to meet the enemy with bayonets can be called elite.

Although the navy of the Ming Dynasty has undergone a large-scale refit, it has not entered the era of giant cannon ships, and battles are still unavoidable, so in the navy, this aspect is also the top priority.

Fortunately, many veteran navy officers and soldiers used to fight this kind of battle when they followed Zhu Zhangui to rob enemy ships, and they were all veterans in this field.

Otherwise, the Ming Navy will need several years or even ten years of training in the absence of actual combat.

On the white-skinned pig ship, apart from the footsteps of officers and soldiers jumping from their own ship, the rest of the place was deathly quiet.

Everyone knows that this is the calm before the storm.

Combat in the cabin is different from that in an open space. The space inside is narrow, and long weapons cannot be deployed. In addition to various narrow terrains, enemies may emerge from various places at any time.

Even if it is an elite old bird, one may fall into it if one is not paying attention.

Under the cover of the shield, the old Yutou and several old birds slowly approached the opponent's hatch.

"Dog!"

When there was still a distance from the hatch, the old Yutou took a quick look through the gap in the shield, and closed the hatch tightly.

After visually inspecting the thickness of the door panel, the old Yutou patted the shoulders of the two guys in front, told them to take precautions, and then greeted the back.

The wooden board of the cabin door is very thick, it is difficult for bullets to enter, and it is even more unrealistic to hack with a knife and an axe. It is completely giving the other party a head, so the old fish head intends to use some violent methods to surprise the white pigs inside.

A soldier with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, hearing the old fish head's greeting, responded in a low voice, quickly untied a pole behind him, tied a dynamite bag to it, and handed it to the old fish head in front.

"Prepare!"

Pushing the explosive bag tied with the stick against the door, the old fish head pulled the fuse to remind him.

Some old navy birds behind hurriedly greeted the Marine Corps soldiers who were holding up their rifles and didn't know what to do next. They aimed all their guns at the place where the blast was about to be blasted, and were ready to attack at any time.

"Hey, I knew I would bring the First Army here. The guys from the Fourth Army have no experience in naval warfare at all."

After arranging the soldiers of the Marine Corps, a veteran navy bird couldn't help murmuring in a low voice.

The partner next to him spread his hands and did not comment on this.

Since the higher-ups arranged for the fifth army to come, they naturally had the idea of ​​the higher-level soldiers, as low-level soldiers, as long as they obeyed the orders.

"Jerry, what are they doing!"

Behind the barn door, a group of shirtless white-skinned pigs, holding various weapons in their hands, looked nervously at a white-skinned pig who was lying behind the door and looking out.

"I don't know. They put a package on the door. The people outside have already retreated. It should be a tool to break the door. But don't worry, our door is specially reinforced, and there is a layer of iron sheet inside. , very strong."

"Be prepared, and wait for a while when they fail to break the door and look frustrated and shocked, we are taking advantage of it and killing them."

Jerry, who was lying on the gap and looking out, talked about the situation outside as quickly as possible.

"Damn it, if I knew I would meet these damned yellow-skinned monkeys, I wouldn't have come no matter what Jack said."

A white-skinned pig who was mentally oppressed and couldn't bear it kicked the box next to him hard.

Another white-skinned pig who was also tense, heard this guy's curse, and suggested in fear: "Why don't we surrender, we can follow the gentleman's agreement and ask the family to redeem us with money."

"Haha, Al Qaeda, give up this unrealistic idea, and think about the fate of those Orientals who were captured in Portugal. If the other party knew about their partners and suffered such abuse and humiliation, you are sure they would, Give us this chance, I am afraid the biggest possibility is to be brutally killed by them."

As soon as this remark came out, there was silence in the cabin.

After a long time, an uncertain voice said: "We can tell them that we are not from the same country as the Portuguese country, and we have no hatred with them, so maybe it is possible, and the other side will not make things difficult for us."

Someone glanced at the person who proposed, and the person silently lowered his head.

It is the most stupid thing in the world to pray for the mercy of the enemy.

"Boom!"

When the cabin was quiet, the fuse of the explosive package outside the cabin door burned to the root, igniting the gunpowder inside the explosive package, causing it to release a powerful force.

The powerful kinetic energy released by the burning gunpowder instantly blew up the door, and the impact of the explosion, engulfed in broken wood and broken iron, vented wildly into the cabin.

Jerry, who was lying at the door to observe the situation outside, and a person beside him were caught in a sieve in an instant, without even saying a word, they went directly to play chess with Satan.

"Fire!"

A loud roar sounded outside the door, followed by a bang bang bang sound, and hot bullets spinning at high speed flew into the cabin with a whizzing sound.

Some of the white-skinned pigs who were knocked down by the shock wave and just got up dizzy, just stood up a little, when they were shot through their bodies by bullets, and fell heavily to the ground, no longer alive.

"Grenade!"

More than a dozen grenades with smoking tails were thrown in, and after a bang and bang explosion, the old Yutou rushed in with a dozen old brothers, carrying short knives and revolvers.

Shoot wildly at any corpse as far as the eye can see. Regardless of whether it is dead or not, any body that is still intact must be repaired. This is the experience of countless brothers who exchanged their lives.

When they were pirates, it was because of their inexperience that they did not repair these corpses, causing a lot of casualties.

So since then, the naval soldiers who fought have had a habit of making up for them, whether they are dead or alive, as long as they are not their own. The same tradition was also brought into the Shenji Camp by some veterans, and it was also cultivated by them. This habit of making up the knife.

The battle ended in less than an hour. Some white-skinned pigs that survived by chance were dragged to the deck by the Ming army like animals, waiting for the crown prince's decision, including the fat businessman.
