Chapter 184 Show prestige
The pirates noticed something unusual.
As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, the size of the Ming warship gradually appeared in front of their eyes.
The huge hull is like a castle, and the moment they are connected together, it is like land, overwhelming.
“Master, is this really a warship?”
“How can it be so huge?”
“No, this is a large-scale battleship newly built by Daming officials recently, with heavy artillery on it!”
The terrified cries spread through more than a dozen broken ships at once, and the originally excited emotions were suddenly shrouded in fear.
The pirate captain, the one-eyed dragon shouted to his subordinates in horror: “How could it be like this?”
“Isn’t it that their warships have fallen into disrepair?”
“How did they build such a huge warship? Does it really exist?”
In just a few short sentences, the dark ships on the opposite side rushed over.
A strong sense of oppression immediately made the pirates feel the pressure to survive.
The largest of their ships is no more than ten feet, but the smallest of the ships in front of them is probably more than forty feet!
Moreover, the most unacceptable thing is that the pitch-black muzzle of the warship is aimed at them, as if a huge hand will take them away at any time.
“Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!”
One-eyed Longyan saw that the opponent was aggressive, and those artillery pieces were not vegetarian. He knew that once the cannons were fired, they would have no room to parry.
Because it is a small boat, turning the bow is very fast, and the nimble boat changes direction quickly.
However, the panicked voices from the pirate ship also came from time to time. When they saw the cannon muzzles on the other side’s ships, the greed in their hearts had long been replaced by despair.
In the face of such a terrifying force, all they can do is fear for the future, let alone fight, they are not even qualified to touch it.
This can no longer be said to be a gap, but a crush!
When the one-eyed dragon shouted the words of retreat, several sailors who responded faster had turned the bow, and their master and apprentice quickly fled this sea area.
However, the moment they turned the bow, they were ready, and the Ming Navy had already prepared enough.
If they let these pirates escape from their eyes, it would undoubtedly be their great shame, how dare they call it a navy? It’s better to just disband.
Standing on the deck, Qi Jingtong suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted to the navy behind him, “Get ready, fire!”
The shouting sounded, the Daming battleships lined up, and the pitch-black muzzles were aimed at the pirates’ battleships.
An icy chill emanated from the dense warships, especially the several artillery pieces on the warships, which were even more heart-wrenching!
Bang bang bang!
After a thunderous sound came out, it resounded across the sea.
Tens of thousands of cannonballs slammed into the dozens of small boats not far away, and the dazzling white light, almost the moment the pirates saw it, they became vulnerable.
Many people have been frightened on the spot, is this really Daming artillery? Why is it as terrifying as the thunder in the sky?
It’s not that there are no artillery on their broken ships, but these things, compared with Daming’s warships, are like holding an egg against a stone!
Boom!
The burst of fire ignited on the pirate ship in an instant, and the terrified pirates were already in a mess. No one wanted to resist, and they wanted to turn the bow and escape.
If you abandon the boat and jump into the sea, it is estimated that one by one will be fed to sharks.
But before they jumped into the water, the ferocious flames had already engulfed them in the fire.
Painful sound, cry for help, heartbreaking.
However, these sounds were soon engulfed by the sound of huge artillery fire.
Tens of thousands of Daming navy to deal with dozens of pirates, as simple as killing a few ants.
It’s not just crushing at all, it’s slaughtering.
However, even though it was a face-to-face artillery piece, because the pirate ships were flexible and easy to turn around, a few small boats still resisted.
“Shoot me!”
The one-eyed dragon is also anxious, seeing that his subordinates cannot retreat, and they are sunk in the sea one by one, it is better to make some resistance to the pain!
Bang bang bang!
The loaded artillery was fired at the Daming naval warship, and the shells just fell on the body of the warship, basically causing little damage to the Daming warship.
“Damn, even a few small boats can’t hit, what can you do?”
Qi Jingtong angrily reprimanded several generals, raised the sword high again, and asked them to concentrate firepower again.
They didn’t pay attention to this low-accuracy approach at first. As long as they aimed at the target in front, they would be able to fire a hundred shots.
But these boats kept changing positions, which made it difficult for the aiming guns to aim for a while.
Bang bang bang!
One after another shells fell like raindrops on the few remaining small boats of the pirates again, and groups of fires exploded, and the ferocious waves overturned these small boats again.
Soon, with the falling of the shells, the seemingly indestructible boat soon turned into sawdust and floated on the sea surface.
The crimson sea water rushes out from the sea from time to time, but soon disappears into the deep blue sea, and the stump and the broken arm can be seen at any time.
The one-eyed dragon looked at everything in front of him in despair. All the ships were sunk, and he floated on the sea holding a wooden board.
In the face of such terrifying combat power, he never dreamed of crushing himself like an ant.
If God gave him another chance, he would never be doing such a stupid thing.
Even, he doesn’t want to be a thief at all, and would rather be a down-to-earth farmer than a pirate chief, nor would he rob a caravan.
He looked at everything in front of him in despair and closed his eyes deeply.
On the Daming warship, after this round of firing the artillery, it basically scanned all the obstacles on the opposite side.
This is the bloodiest actual combat that many marine fighters have seen since they joined the army. Although they will face many such battles in the future, this time, they have indeed seen what a real naval battle is.
Dozens of pirates were buried in the sea in an instant.
They didn’t even see the faces of the other officers and soldiers clearly.
“General, this naval battle is too simple, please ask me for orders, and clean up all the pirates in this sea area!”
Qi Jingtong’s deputy general Deng Wenlong asked for orders.
An excited smile appeared on Qi Jingtong’s cheeks~www.readmtl.com~ He nodded heavily and said, “Okay, this commander will order you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers and go to the sea area ahead to wipe out all the pirates!”
“As ordered!”
After just a short stay, the Daming Navy moved in a further direction again.
Qi Jingtong stood alone on the deck, the sea breeze blowing on his face made him feel more comfortable than ever.
The Daming battleship sailed out to sea again, which made him feel the glory he had never seen before.
The glory of the Daming Navy is the glory of the Daming Empire!
He stood on the deck and his thoughts were flying. Next, the Ming Navy should develop in a more refined direction, rather than stop it blindly.
It can also be said that the next development is the most test of a person’s ability.
He has made his own contribution to the development of the Daming Navy, but what’s next? Shouldn’t the baton be passed on?
On this issue, he wants to explain to His Majesty that in the future, the Ming Navy will have to rely on many young people to control it…
