Chapter 1451 Artillery Coverage
Tang Zheng felt two piles of softness sticking to his back, frowned, grabbed Fang Zhiwen's arm, and pulled it in front of him.

"Ah, you hurt me!" Bai Fumei screamed, showing a pitiful expression.

"You don't want to live, don't drag me to die with you, this is my last warning, don't make trouble for me." Tang Zheng stared into Fang Zhiwen's eyes and issued an ultimatum.

"That's not what I meant." Before Fang Zhiwen could finish speaking, Tang Zheng pinched her cheeks, her red lips pursed, and she couldn't say anything.

"I don't want to hear an explanation. I won't let you do dangerous things, and I won't give you preferential treatment. I won't even dare to slack off in the Holy Land War. Do you think I have the leisure to flirt with you?" Tang Zheng got angry. , "This time, I can't guarantee that I will survive, do you think you can?"

Fang Zhiwen's expression was gloomy. She knew the result a long time ago, but she just didn't want to admit it.

"Go out and think about it." Tang Zheng let go of Bai Fumei, "Don't forget to tell Jiang Xiuming to keep a distance."

The seagulls were scurrying, the sky was blue and clear, and it was a mess.

For two days, Tang Zheng's two ships sailed along the channel, trying to collide with those returning ships.

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing Fang Zhiwen sitting on the deck, staring at the endless sea in a daze, Tao Ran couldn't help asking.

After being trained by Tang Zheng, Bai Fumei accepted the reality, lost hope and motivation all of a sudden, and messed up her life.

"Whatever her, in this world, it's not scary to be weak, what's scary is that even the will is weak."

Dong Zixuan didn't care about her, and took a quill pen to write the parameters on the parchment. Beside her, there was a cannon. Three gunners were cleaning the barrel, loading gunpowder and shells.

After all the work was ready, the gunner handed a burning torch to the policewoman.

Dong Zixuan raised her arms horizontally, aimed at an imaginary target 500 meters away, adjusted the angle of the muzzle, and lit the match with a torch.

Magnetism, magnetism, matchlock burning, two seconds later, there was a loud bang, a cloud of white gunpowder smoke was ejected from the muzzle, a six-pound solid iron ball was shot out, and finally fell into the sea, splashing a column of water .

"Reload, shoot again!" Seeing that the distance was at least 50 meters away, Dong Zixuan's face turned ashen. She felt that she was very talented in shooting, so why couldn't she play with artillery?
"Artillery is a technical job." Ying Shangwu joked, holding a monocular, observing the surrounding sea.

Dong Zixuan didn't care, anyway, the reserves of gunpowder and shells were enough, and she was not afraid of wasting them. When she was going to shoot a hundred rounds today, the faint sound of cannons suddenly came.

"Raise the sails and drive at full speed." Ying Shangwu's ears were more sensitive, and amidst the roar, he looked in the direction of the gunfire.

The sea boat is like a galloping horse galloping on the sea.

The sound of the guns became louder and louder, and 10 minutes later, through a high-powered telescope, Ying Shangwu saw both sides of the war.

Jiang Xiuming's ship was fleeing in embarrassment. Behind him were two three-masted warships flying the skull flag, chasing desperately.

"The merchant ship didn't come across it, but it was the pirate that came up first." Tang Zheng, who was already on the deck, had already seen the situation clearly without waiting for the sailors in the watchtower to report, "Raise the alarm and get ready to fight."

Jiang Xiuming felt that he was suffering to death. When he saw a sea ship, he wanted to grab it. He didn't expect that another pirate ship rushed out less than 3 minutes after the battle started. He realized that he was only interested in enjoying the great voyage. Excited, too far away from Tang Zheng.

Even if it is the third rank of Ying, Jiang Xiuming is still a rookie captain. Facing the pirates who have experienced naval battles, he is like a newborn baby, who has been abused to pieces.

If Jiang Xiuming hadn't ordered to escape in time because of the bad situation, he would have been sunk before he saw Tang Zheng.

"Use the semaphore to let Jiang Xiuming block the opponent's route." Tang Zheng yelled, "Boys, grab the T prefix!"

Sea-going ships are all narrow and long, and the gun ports are on both sides of the hull, so try to ensure a T-shape with the enemy in order to project maximum firepower.

"Fuck, Tang Zheng asked me to be a meat shield!" Jiang Xiuming touched the seawater splashed on his face, cursed, and unconditionally carried out the order. He also knew that for a group of rookies, this It is the safest tactic.

"Captain, you can't do this, you will die." The first mate strongly recommended Jiang Xiuming with a bitter expression on his face.

"Do it, or I'll kill you." Jiang Xiuming pulled out his pistol with a grim expression on his face.

While they were arguing, the enemy had already started shooting at the upper air outlet, making a T-movement.

The pirates were not a newly established fleet like Tang Zheng's. Their team had already been well-adjusted, and within a few minutes, they had the upper hand and started shelling.

Amid the thunderous sound of cannonballs, shells shot over with a sharp howling sound, rubbed against the ship and fell into the sea water, splashing high water columns.

"Fight back!" Dong Zixuan yelled, but it didn't work, it needs training, and it can't be made up by shouting a few words.

"What should we do? Let's shoot together, they have already fired two rounds." Ying Shangwu also felt that something was wrong, and advised Tang Zheng, "Retreat, go now, there is still time."

According to the original plan, two ships suppressed one sea ship and used numbers to make up for the lack of technology, but whoever thought of it encountered pirates.

"No, keep sailing and grab the T prefix." Tang Zheng refused, "If you run away now, you will only be chased and beaten."

"But we can't hit at all, what kind of gunners you choose, it's too bad." Dong Zixuan couldn't help complaining.

"Sister Shang Wu, you are in charge of the ship, I'll go to the gun bay." Tang Zheng ignored the policewoman, and rushed into the bilge after giving orders.

The gunners worked very hard, sweating profusely, but the standard was really poor.

"Leave, leave this place to me." Tang Zheng pulled a gunner away, "Get lost."

Although they didn't understand what the captain meant, they all left quickly after the gunner who wanted to persuade them was slapped.

Tang Zheng glanced at the opposite sea ship through the gun door, and released the female musketeers. In the blink of an eye, a hundred female gunners in baroque costumes and carrying silver muskets appeared in the gun bay, all of them heroic.

"Gunners, it's up to you, sink those two pirate ships for me."

Tang Zheng roared furiously. Since reaching the peak of the third stage of Ying, the number of female musketeers he summoned increased again, reaching a hundred. However, as the battle became more and more advanced, Tang Zheng did not have enough equipment to arm them, so gradually he could no longer fight. I used it again, but I didn't expect it to come in handy this time.

"Obey, master!" The musketeers, led by Sophie, shouted in unison, and immediately got busy.

"This gun is too bad." One-third of the artillerymen in the female musketeers glanced at the twelve-pound cannon in the gun bay, immediately sniffed, and immediately raised their beautiful legs in boots and kicked them to the side .

A white light flashed, and twenty-pound cannons appeared one after another, and a group of three musketeers pushed them into the cannon positions.

"Fuck, can't you summon a few fewer doors?" Tang Zheng immediately felt the loss of life energy. The female musketeers can achieve unlimited ammunition, but it takes his energy to generate it.

"Ever since I followed you, we haven't had a quick fight, and today we have to have fun with everything!" Marilyn licked her red lips, and she couldn't wait to pull down the rope.

boom! boom! boom!
The gun port on the right side of the ship, with the rhythmic sound of the cannon, fired successively, spewing out groups of angry flames.

Amidst the white smoke rising, fifteen shells fired at the leading pirate ship with the noise of tearing the air.

Without any suspense, a total of eight shells hit the ship accurately, and the deck was bombarded by the shells, and a big hole was directly opened, and the shattered sawdust flew around and pierced into the pirate's body.

In less than five seconds, there was another round of salvo, this time with a higher hit rate.

A shell caught the sail, tore it, and then broke the mast, and the castration was over before it fell to the deck.

"No way, so fierce?" Jiang Xiuming, who saw Tang Zheng's ship falling downwind, was ready to fight hard and even abandon the ship.

"Aim at the gun bay and fire salvo." Sophie directed the battle.

"Hurry up and stop, don't sink it, I want to snatch the ship." Tang Zheng said too late, there was a loud noise, the shells fired, smashed the side of the pirate ship, and even rushed into the gunpowder magazine , causing an explosion.

Seeing this situation, the other ship didn't dare to fight, and turned around and fled directly.

"Chasing, don't sink it this time." Tang Zheng looked at the pirate ship that was leaking and silent, and sighed. The battleship he got was gone.

"Give Jiang Xiuming a semaphore to intercept the escaped pirate ship." Ying Shangwu felt a little distressed. With three ships, his strength would be much stronger.

The ships on both sides are the same, and the speed of the ships is naturally the same. Once the other party is determined to escape, it is really difficult for Tang Zheng to catch up with them.

"Keep chasing, I finally came across such a prey, I can't give up." Tang Zheng gritted his teeth, furious.

"Pirates are not merchant ships, what kind of oil and water can they have?" Fang Zhiwen was shocked, and really didn't want to go through the artillery battle anymore.

"There is a treasure. These guys look like habitual bandits. They must have hidden a lot of money. Let's raid their lair." Tang Zheng summoned three musketeers alone, and asked them to place their cannons on the deck. To bombard the target, as long as one mast is smashed, the speed will definitely slow down.

This chase took a whole day, and Jiang Xiuming's ship had fallen behind due to partial damage and slowed down, but with Tang Zheng's musketeer in hand, he was not afraid.

In the evening, the pirate ship approached a small island, which was their lair without guessing.

"It's hard to handle. It's easy to defend but hard to attack." Ying Shangwu observed and found that it was a U-shaped port, with tall rocks and rocks on both sides, and forts built on it.

"Is this also called Difficult Attack? Look, I'll dismantle it for you!" Tang Zheng would have been out of the way if he had led this group of mobs, but now he is full of confidence, because the musketeers' superb shooting skills are his confidence.

Bombing and killing these fixed targets should not be too easy for the gunmen.
