Chapter 313 The first wave of naval battle! Shooting!

The inspector's lucky ship was probably used to being arrogant and did not respond much to the approaching of Zhang Zhun and others. There were only a few scattered figures on their deck, as if they were just watching the scenery. The sailboat on duty on the mast was even sitting on the beam, waving his legs leisurely.

In fact, Zhang Zhun's two ships basically have merchant ships, and neither of them has cannons. No wonder the people in the inspection department would not pay attention. Since Zheng Zhilong and others were recruited, the estuary of the Yangtze River and even the entire South China Sea area have been relatively calm. Sporadic pirates have basically been destroyed by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong himself is a big pirate, and it is natural to eliminate these little pirates without any effort.

Of course, the people from the Jiangyin Inspection Department would not have thought that the wolf from the north had quietly gone south. The storm that was rushing towards them would first hit them.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

Since the lookout whistle issued an alarm, the soldiers have long been ready for battle.

Zhang Zhun arranged the two ships in this way. He himself brought ten snipers, two squads of Zhang Youcai and Peng Bo, and Liu Dong's sailor combat team on Yang Guohua's flagship. Ten sniper teams led by Yang Weiguo, Zhong Wuying, Liu Jixiang and others, plus Zhou Yanyu's team and Fang He's sailor combat team on Miss Sisi's merchant ship. The ship was also commanded by Zhou Zhengyu.

Such deployment can deal with naval warfare, land warfare, and land warfare. As long as the opponent's artillery fire is not very fierce, you can win the battle. This time, those who went south were all the winners who had just held a military competition. For them, this trip was more like a battle that rewarded them. Therefore, their morale and confidence in winning do not require any doubt.

At this time, the ship of the inspection department also discovered the existence of Zhang Zhun and others. At the beginning, they did not feel anything abnormal. There were many merchant ships coming and going near the estuary of the Yangtze River. After dawn, some merchant ships appeared here, which was not surprising. However, when Zhang Zhun and others advanced straight towards them without any concealment, they finally felt something was wrong.

Soon, someone on the inspection department ship waved a flag and a red flag. At the same time, Zhang Zhun could see from the Qianli Mile Mile, some of the inspection department armed personnel, who might have asked them to be patrol or inspectors, came out of the cabin and raised muskets on the deck. The clothes of these people were similar to those of Jiaozhou Salt Inspection Department, and they were all in black outfits. As expected, the inspection in the world was as dark as the inspection department!

After reading the flag language, Yang Guohua said to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, the inspection department is warning us not to get close, otherwise, we will be attacked."

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Don't care about him, keep getting closer."

The ship then continued to approach.

The inspection department's lucky ship sent a signal quickly. Soon, more patrolmen appeared on the deck and set up dense muskets. Judging from their arrangement, it seemed that these patrolmen also knew how to shoot three-stage. The patrolmen arranged on the edge of the deck were quite dense, with hundreds of people. At the same time, a sail driver began to climb onto the mast, trying to control the sails, avoiding the impact of Zhang Zhun and others. It turned out that the sail drivers on the mast were also busy.

On Zhang Zhun's side, all the snipers gathered to stand by and attack the opponent's sailors at any time. However, because the distance was still relatively far, Zhang Zhun did not issue an order to shoot. In Zhang Zhun's heart, this lucky ship would definitely not be able to escape. There is no need to shoot at such a long distance.

As Zhang Zhun continued to approach and came in full force, the inspection department ship obviously noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly untied the sails and started maneuvering to the west. However, it was a 200-ton ship, and it was not easy to move at once. There was no wind near Chongming Island in the morning. At the same time, Yang Guohua also consciously adjusted the angle of the flagship and continued to rush towards the lucky ship.

One hundred feet...

Eighty feet...

Sixty feet...

"Bang bang bang!"

It was the inspector of the inspection department who shot.

The gunshots were very dense, instantly breaking the movement around Chongming Island.

The white smoke was constantly erupting, and the entire blessing ship was covered with white dust. The dense patrolmen were slowly shrouded in it by the white smoke. The shadows were the most visible, and the details were completely invisible.

The inspection departments in various places in the Ming Dynasty held special powers and could reap a lot of oil and water, so their inspectors were very likely to obtain better equipment. In fact, even the salt inspection department in Jiaozhou was basically equipped with muskets. The daily income of Jiangyin Water Inspection Department was much richer than that of the Jiaozhou Salt Inspection Department, so the number of muskets they equipped was more. Zhang Zhun made a rough judgment just now, and it was probably not less than 200.

Moreover, the muskets used by patrolmen are mostly excellent bird guns. Although this kind of musket is an original mesh rope gun, it is because of its good manufacturing process and good accuracy and range. It is said that it can accurately shoot down birds, so it is called bird guns. It is more troublesome when shooting, and it requires lighting a long fuse. The reloading after shooting is also relatively long.

However, no matter how excellent the performance of the flying bird gun is, it is between twenty and thirty feet. It is simply a joke to shoot at a distance of sixty feet. It is a waste of ammunition! The Ming army in Liaodong often fired randomly before the Tartars entered the range, and the same was true for the Shooting Ding here. Sure enough, the Shooting Ding's Shooting Ding was very lively, but Zhang Zhun had no effect. The projectiles fell on the sea surface. Because the projectiles were too small, there was no reaction on the sea surface.

"Get within thirty feet and shoot!"

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

Zhu Chengtai and other snipers all released the trigger.

In fact, their hit rate is still OK at a distance of fifty feet. However, the inspection department’s bird gun is not even thirty feet away, so there is no need to worry. Due to the obstruction of white smoke, it is indeed more certain to shoot after entering thirty feet.

Fifty feet...

Forty feet...

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

As the distance gets closer, the gunshots on the Fu Ship are getting more and more fierce. The Salt Inspection Department ship has about 200 people, and each of them is equipped with a musket, so they are naturally shooting at this time. The patrol officers do not care whether the bird gun caused damage to Zhang Zhun and others, but just kept firing. It seems that the gunshots of the bird gun can effectively prevent Zhang Zhun and others from approaching.

In fact, if the other party was an ordinary merchant ship, he would definitely be scared when he heard such dense gunshots. After all, the shooting of the flying bird gun sounded quite scary. The balls of fire and loud noises gave people a strong sense of shock. Unfortunately, what they met was the Hu Ben Army or the elite among the Tiger Army's elites. Who cares about the sound of the Fei Bird Gun?

Thirty feet...

"shooting!"

Zhang Zhun shouted in a deep voice.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The soldiers who were ready to fight pulled the trigger one after another.

In an instant, the stormy Minnie bomb poured into the patrol department's lucky ship.

Although the lucky ship was covered with layers of white smoke, and the specific position of the personnel could not be seen clearly, it didn't matter. Just shoot at the position of the white smoke. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army had clearly seen that the teams of patrol officers were so dense. For the Hu Ben Gun, such a dense team was simply a huge target than a pottery jar! Even if you close your eyes, you would not be shot away.

As for snipers such as Dugu Lie, they shot in the direction of the mast. Despite the obstruction of white smoke, they could still judge the location of the mast based on the overall structure of the Fu Ship. As for whether they could accurately hit the sailboat, it depends on luck. However, in front of so many Minnie bullets, the sailboat's sailboat's sailboat wanted to completely avoid it depends on luck.

"ah!"

"ah!"

"ah!"

Sure enough, after a dense gunfire, screams came from the other side of the lucky ship.

Because the screams were too many and too dense, Zhang Zhun and others couldn't tell how many people were screaming. However, judging from the instantaneous sound of the flying bird gun shooting, there must be many patrolists hit by Minnie bullets. Who told them to make such a formation? They were waiting in line to be shot! Who can I blame myself for death?

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Amid the screams, the sound of people falling into the water kept coming.

In a vague way, you can see that the port side of the lucky ship is constantly splashing.

It is speculated that the patrols on the edge of the deck were hit by Minnie and fell directly into the water. Judging from the situation of those patrols just now, if they pounced forward, there would indeed be many people who fell directly into the sea.

There was no protection on the deck of the lucky ship. A string of Minnie bombs swept over, and the consequences were imagined. This was the white smoke they had shot before, which helped them, making it impossible for the Hu Ben Army soldiers to accurately see where each of them was, and could only shoot roughly, otherwise their casualties would be even greater.

Even so, it was enough that the patrol dicks were all terrified and their souls were scattered. After all, they were just patrol dicks in the Inspection Department, not formal troops. They just scared the common people, but never experienced such battles? For a moment, patrol dicks were beaten to death, and the ones were fooled, completely losing their inch. The originally dense formation had long been completely broken, and there was only a large piece of corpse on the deck. As for fighting back with a gun, they couldn't even think about it.

"pirate!"

"The pirate is here!"

"Everyone, run away, the pirates are here!"

After a while, the surviving soldiers woke up like a dream and shouted.

They could not accurately judge Zhang Zhun's identity, so they could only regard them as pirates. In fact, in this place, who else dares to attack them directly? Even if they were pirates, they would be pirates who were desperate to do such a crazy action. Isn't attacking the inspection department going to rebel?

Their voice was so loud that even Zhang Zhun heard it. Zhang Zhun couldn't help but smile, what a pirate! I am the legitimate commander of Aoshan Guard. However, it's not bad for you to regard me as a pirate. Because, this time I went south, it was indeed the pirate's work!

In the morning, there was no wind on Chongming Island. The surroundings of the Fu Ship were filled with white smoke and could not be blown away for a while. After a series of shootings, there was no movement on the Fu Ship except for the faint groan of pain. In order to avoid wasting ammunition, Zhang Zhun ordered all teams to temporarily stop shooting, leaving only the sniper surveillance field. However, Li Menghao was particularly allowed to join the sniper ranks. Dugu Lie still did not give up on his coveting of Li Menghao.

The gunshots gradually subsided, and except for the white smoke that kept floating, it seemed that nothing had happened. After a while, the surviving patrolmen on the Fu Ship did not know what had happened, and they thought the pirates had withdrawn, so they got up one after another, trying to find a better place to hide, so people shook again.

"Bang!"

Zhu Chengtai, who was in urgent need, raised his hand and shot him.

In the white smoke, a figure fell down on the spot.

"Bang!"

He Jianing also fired.

In the white smoke, a black shadow also fell down.

"Bang!"

Li Menghao fired at the same time.

"ah!"

A scream came, and the sound was a little erratic.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, something seemed to fall heavily on the other party's deck.

It turned out that Li Menghao's eyes were indeed powerful. He actually found through the white smoke that an enemy was hidden on the mast of the lucky ship. This sailor was lucky enough to have nothing to do in the dense shooting just now, and it was also a blessing. Unfortunately, he could not escape Li Menghao's golden eyes in the end. With a shot, the sailor fell down obediently.

"Prepare to jump into the gang to fight!"

"The two ships must get closer and pay attention to the impact!"

"The two ships must get closer and pay attention to the impact!"

Yang Guohua's cold voice came.

Their purpose is to capture the lucky ship of the Patrol Office. Since they want to capture the other party, they can only conduct a jump gang battle, jump on the lucky ship and fight with the other party at close range. In this era, the only way to achieve the goal of capturing the enemy ship. In the era of smoothbore cannons, even if there are cannons, if they want to capture the other party's ship, they must rely on the jump gang battle. To put it simply, it is a bayonet. Of course, this is also the most intense, bloody and complicated naval battle, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear it.

"Sailor! All Sailors! Be prepared for jumping gang!"

"Jump hands! All Jump hands! Be prepared for Jump help!"

"Flying hands! All the flying hands! Be prepared for the jumping help!"

Liu Dong's loud voice came.
Chapter completed!
