On the Seven Towers

Eselite didn't know that Huang Zheng alone had the ability to knock down everyone on the deck. But Xiao Chen had told Huang Zheng to try not to intensify the conflict with the military, especially with Brudes as a matchmaker, and to create an enemy for no reason.

So, he proposed a competition.

Although Huang Zheng's idea of ​​a competition sounded a bit childish, it touched Eselite. From the heart, he was still very curious about these people from the East. According to common sense, the sea conditions of the Devil's Sea were so bad that the ships sent by the people of the East Continent to cross the Devil's Sea must be their strongest and most advanced ships. How powerful such a ship is is very valuable for the West Continent Navy and how the entire West Continent treats these visitors from the East.

As a soldier, he was more curious about the level of military power of that continent. He even looked forward to how the so-called devil's power would help them fight.

Eselite believed in strength first, and the soldiers and even many politicians around him were the same. If these guys from the East Continent showed that they were too weak, they would not be able to get any real help, but would only attract a group of hungry wolves.

The lookout on the Red Cloud reported that they had indeed seen several chasing ships in the far distance to the southwest. So he agreed to the competition.

Huang Zheng and his companions stayed on the Red Cloud. Because he had to command the battle, Eselite took them to the bridge. Of course, he confiscated their weapons and arranged armed soldiers to guard them behind them. He didn't know that he had brought a human bomb that could paralyze the ship to his control center.

He also asked Huang Zheng with interest how he received the information from Houyi.

"This is the effect of magic. You see it as the power of the devil, but we think about how to use it to fight against the real devils." Huang Zheng said with a bit of mystery, "As a soldier, you should understand how important such information exchange is on the battlefield. This is not the tricks that you say, but a kind of "scientific" application."

"This is the first time someone dares to link science with the power of the devil." Eselite said.

"I don't know how you define science here, but in my opinion it is a way to discover and use the laws of things. It is not a scientific attitude to simply attribute magic to the power of the devil." Huang Zheng said.

"Oriental people, you would have burned yourself on the stake in the early years." Eselite said.

The Red Cloud turned around and headed south with all its strength. What surprised Eselite was that the other side's two sailboats did not turn at the same time, only one turned its bow and headed south.

Huang Zheng saw his thoughts and said, "Since it is a competition, of course it is one ship against another ship that is convincing."

"Do you really understand the difference between the mounted guns on my ship and those ancient things on your ship?" Esselit asked.

The main guns on his ship are arranged in a triangular shape at both ends of the ship. That is to say, when attacking the enemies in front and behind, there are three triple-mounted 280mm main guns that can fire at the same time. If it is an enemy on the side, there are four triple-mounted main guns that can fire. This does not count the two-mounted eight-seat 180mm secondary guns with a caliber comparable to the Houyi pneumatic gun.

Huang Zheng said, "Don't worry, there will be results in a while." Although he said so, he was still worried in his heart. After the final modification, the Houyi had only more than 20 guns on one side, and the caliber was only 200mm. Now we can only hope for the power of magic.

The speed of the Hongyun is still relatively slow. When both ships are fully launched, the light Houyi is faster.

It was about 1,500 meters ahead of the latter and arrived at the battlefield first.

The situation on the battlefield was already very clear. Originally, four pirate ships were chasing two merchant ships. These ships were steamships, and the merchant ships were slightly slower. They were about to be caught up and surrounded by the pirate ships.

But the two ships that came in from the north attracted the attention of the pirates.

The ship in front was an inexplicable sailing ship, but the speed of the sailing ship was higher than their common sense. The one behind was a warship in the navy of the Western Continent, the famous Red Cloud. No pirate living in the nearby waters did not know this ship. It was the main force to strangle pirates. It was unknown how many pirate ships had been sunk by it in this sea.

The four pirate ships decisively gave up the prey in front and fled in the opposite direction of the two ships.

Houyi caught up with the two ships fleeing to the southwest. And the Red Cloud also began to chase the two ships fleeing to the southeast.

Eselite was very satisfied with this situation, because he could see that the two ships he was chasing were slow, and he was sure that he could catch up with and kill at least one of them. As long as the gunner had better luck today, there was a good chance that he could kill another one.

Just as he was about to notify the gunner to calibrate the shooting, the sound of artillery fire began to be heard in the distance. The sound of the artillery was different from the sound of the artillery he was used to, and the sound was much lower. But the cannonballs still flew across a long distance to the pirate ship.

The East Continent ship opened fire first. Eselite picked up the telescope and looked at the sea over there. Now that the ships had not yet pulled away, he could clearly see the landing point of the other side's artillery fire, and it actually formed a cross-fire in the first round of attack!

"What luck!"

"This is not luck." Huang Zheng said, "This is the application of magic precision."

The subsequent high-efficiency shots fully proved Huang Zheng's point of view. The impact point of the shells was getting closer and closer to the pirate ship. The pirate ships also began to fight back hurriedly, but the impact of their shells was horrific. And this counterattack slowed down their own speed.

Hou Yi continued to move forward, constantly closing the distance with the opponent.

Eselit wondered: "If you have such accuracy, why do you have to get so close? Although most of these pirates' artillery are old things, they have enough lethality for ships covered with wood and iron. "

Sure enough, as he said, the two ships that were fleeing stopped running away after discovering that the chasing ship was a sailboat. They began to adjust their course and seize the T. I'm afraid the plan is to kill the chasing sailboat first and then escape.

The three ships shelled each other, and there was actually a lot of fighting.

Eselit said: "What a stupid tactic. If your ship is sunk by pirates, this game will become a joke."

Huang Zheng smiled secretly in his heart: If we don't use such tactics, how can we let you see the power of magic?
