Chapter 846: Confusion before the coming of a new era [Please vote for me]
The pirates became ferocious, roared in unison, and swarmed to the side of the ship with their bare feet, waving the assorted weapons in their hands, shouting and cursing wildly, each of them was extremely ferocious!
On the other hand, the navy was in a tight formation. The soldiers pursed their lips tightly and held horizontal swords. They were silent but filled with murderous intent.
Just as the sides of the two ships were getting closer and closer, a loud roar suddenly came from the navy ship: "Ready, cast!"
Behind the soldiers who were waiting in the front row, a piece of black stuff rose into the air and was thrown towards the pirate ship.
The pirates were a little confused, and their eyes followed the movement of his dark thing until the thing flew over the sea between the two ships and landed at their feet, rolling with a gurgling sound under their feet.
What is this?
The pirates' eyes widened and they didn't understand why the navy threw these black eggs over. Hey, why is this thing still smoking?
This was probably the last doubt most pirates had in their lives, because in the next moment, the violent explosions shattered their eardrums, and their eyes were filled with sudden flashes of fire, black smoke, and countless flying debris...
"Boom boom boom"
The thunder exploded on the deck of the enemy ship. The cast iron cartridge case was torn apart by the expansion force of the gunpowder. The pre-cast lines on the cartridge case instantly turned the whole body into countless prefabricated fragments, flying unscrupulously and irregularly in the fire and smoke. Shoot, fiercely tear everything in front of you into pieces!
Blood splattered, bones and tendons were broken!
In just an instant, the pirate ship felt as if it had been swept by a hurricane. The pirates, who had been so aggressive just now, were rolling on the deck and wailing, crying for their fathers and mothers. The huge power of the thunder not only caused heavy casualties to the pirates on the deck, but also exploded the deck. Many pirates rolled through the holes in the deck and fell into the cabin...
The soldiers on the navy side were expressionless, and the grenadiers, under the unified command, threw another round of thunder.
"Boom boom boom"
The pirate ship was filled with smoke and screams were heard.
The power of the Thunderbolt can collapse the deck, but it cannot damage the keel of the hull and the inside of the cabin. Therefore, the enemy ship attacked by the Thunderbolt looks disfigured beyond recognition, but in fact the main body has not been damaged.
The sides of the ship finally connected, but at this time, the pirates were already crying for their fathers and mothers, so how could they still have any dignity? Under the orders of their commanders, the navy soldiers jumped onto the enemy ships one after another. All the wounded were killed and the rest were captured.
Jiao Shixun's ears were filled with countless explosions, and he was shocked out of his mind.
"Firearms! These are the firearms of Shenji Camp!"
Jiao Shixun finally came to his senses and slapped his thigh so hard that he almost broke his teeth!
Despite all his calculations, he never expected that the thunderbolt, which was so invincible on land that it could blast Turkic wolves and wolves into galloping, could actually be used in naval battles, and it seemed to be even more powerful!
Done!
All the wealth that I have worked hard to save for most of my life will be revealed in one battle!
Jiao Shixun's eyes were splitting, and he stared fiercely at the new warship in front of him that had stopped shelling. The distance between the two sides was now less than ten feet. Just now, Jiao Shixun, who was waiting ambitiously and confidently for the battle, had to swallow the blood boiling in his heart. , waved his hand bitterly, and ordered: "Send the order, all retreat, let everyone... take care of their destiny!"
Now that things have come to this, the only way to save one's life is to take advantage of the chaos and retreat.
As for how many people could escape, Jiao Shixun simply didn't dare to think about it...
Who would have thought that the "green-skinned dragon", the first-class pirate in the sea, would be defeated and lose his armor just after the first confrontation?
The confidants around him got the order and hurriedly notified the pirates on the ship. While turning the helm, they used flags to order all the ships to retreat.
Jiao Shixun, wearing armor, stared at the new warship in front of him, and found that there was a round, black tube-like thing on the ship that was turned by the soldiers, and the black round mouth was pointed at him.
Immediately afterwards, someone waved the flag...
Jiao Shixun was so distraught that he shouted: "Lie down!" and threw himself under the side of the ship. At this time, almost all the pirates were standing there with weapons in hand as they were just preparing for a boarding battle.
After hearing Jiao Shixun's call, the pirates heard another cannon shot before they could recover.
Immediately afterwards, it was like a hurricane sweeping through, and countless iron sands were pushed away by the huge power of gunpowder, covering almost all the space on the side of the ship facing the navy.
"Puff puff puff"
The iron sand carrying violent kinetic energy is like a steel storm, tearing apart all obstacles in front of them!
Jiao Shixun just looked back and froze in fear. Blood splattered all over the sky, and the blood mist filled the air. Everything on the ship was torn to pieces, flesh and blood splattered, sawdust flew everywhere, and the brave and capable subordinates lay in a pool of blood, wailing and writhing. The situation was as miserable as hell! Even Jiao Shixun, who killed without blinking an eye, felt a cold air rising from his lower abdomen and instantly swept through his body, making him shiver.
What the hell kind of weapon is this? !
Jiao Shixun was so frightened that he didn't dare to get up, so he lay down under the side of the ship and shouted crazily: "Turn the rudder quickly, turn the rudder quickly, run quickly..."
The soldiers on the new warship were also frightened by the "shotgun" they tried for the first time!
Oh my God!
Isn't this thing too scary?
If you hit someone with such a cannon, wouldn't the whole person be shattered?
Even if the enemy has thousands of troops, as long as they have cannons and these "shotguns", they will still be happy and unafraid, killing as many as they come! Especially this kind of naval battle on the side of the ship, a cannon blast will tear a whole ship of people into pieces...
Is there still a need to fight this battle?
Just stay far away from the mother-in-law!
The soldiers were excited and immediately notified the officers on the ship to start the pursuit!
The new warships are the fastest. They specially select those enemy ships that have been behind and have not been attacked by thunderbolts. They will use "shotguns" to bombard them when they catch up. The gunners were fully armored and had no fear of the pirates' bows and arrows. They came close and fired a cannon, causing the pirates on the enemy ship to wail and howl with their flesh and blood flying...
It doesn't get more exciting than this!
The four new warships seemed to have discovered interesting toys for children. They pursued and bombarded the next ship...
When the sun gradually rises above the head, this battle with great disparity in strength at sea is coming to an end.
Fang Jun stood on the bow of the flagship and looked around. The sea was full of messy warships. Almost every enemy ship was dilapidated and smoking, and screams resounded across the sea.
This time when he went to sea to suppress bandits, Fang Jun did not take the five-tooth battleship.
Although that thing is very cool, it is too dangerous to drive on the sea. Even if it encounters a slightly larger storm, there is a risk of sinking. Fang Jun didn't want to die before the ship sank and feed the sharks that existed more than a thousand years ago...
Su Dingfang stood quietly beside Fang Jun, slightly behind him, with a strange face.
When he was in Chang'an, Su Dingfang, who had been repeatedly squeezed and suppressed, was holding back his energy and wanted to show his value in the navy, so that those who used to be sarcastic and sarcastic would see what I, Su Dingfang, am capable of!
However, in the battle just now, as the naval commander and tactical commander, he almost did not issue any tactical arrangements except for the orders of "pursuit" and "engagement" during the entire battle, and then he won a complete victory. Got it...
Where does my value come from?
Su Dingfang was confused.
Are the pirates too weak?
Apparently not. As one of the three major pirates wreaking havoc in the East China Sea, the "Green Skin Jiao" is definitely very powerful. Not to mention the caravans traveling on the sea were plundered by it, even some small countries watched helplessly as the "Green Skin Jiao" landed in their coastal cities, burning, killing, looting and plundering, without any resistance.
There is no doubt that this Royal Navy is too strong!
What's the strength?
It's not the quality of the soldiers or the tactical advantages, but the unparalleled equipment.
New warships, bronze cannons, sky-shaking thunder...
As Fang Jun said, "I don't know how to mobilize troops. I just need to rely on powerful equipment to keep crushing the enemy"!
That's right, crush!
The battle before me was a complete crushing!
The "green-skinned dragons" across the East China Sea were helpless in the face of all kinds of new equipment. They couldn't even put up a decent resistance and were completely defeated by the strong wind like falling leaves.
If all the armies of the Tang Dynasty continued to develop like this, would they be able to sweep the world just by relying on advanced equipment?
But... aren't the quality of the soldiers and the planning of battles all unnecessary?
Have all the military books and strategies compiled by famous generals of the past dynasties turned into waste paper?
Su Dingfang's mind was in a mess and he couldn't find the answer... (End of Chapter)
