Artillery loading.

In addition to the two huge cannons at the bow and stern, this ship was also equipped with eight cannons on both sides of the ship. Luca didn't know how the Ming Dynasty's navy classified these cannons. He classified them according to his own

It is judged that the bow cannon and stern cannon should be six-pounders, while the cannons installed on the sides of the ship should be three-pounders.

Such firepower, in Luka's view, is a bit crazy. Of course, such madness at the moment is the source of his confidence to face the ships intercepting them. He doesn't know if the empire's main navy ships have any

With such firepower, what he knew was that even such ships in Master Qian's fleet were only average. Princess Grisha's ship was the real main ship, and those pirate ships,

Forget it, he remembered the two pitiful three-pound cannons on his Victory!

"Captain, he won't go down with this man. He said he could help!" Someone shouted from below. He put his head over and found that the person he was struggling with seemed to be the handsome and over-the-top Ming Dynasty craftsman.

"Let me go and take a look. You can direct the battle!" Jessica nodded to him understandingly and walked away. At this time, any distractions for Luka should not be done. He should concentrate on it wholeheartedly.

To win this battle.

"Who are you?" Liu Qingqing became a little anxious when she saw a Banren woman asking her: "Take me to see your captain, that's a fire ship, that's a fire ship!"

After coming to Fujian, Liu Qingqing wandered around the streets for a while. He was naturally interested in things about the sea. Among the stories he heard, there was one where the Fujian Navy had no plans to fight against Japanese pirates after encountering them.

They went forward to fight, but instead followed the Japanese pirates' ships. At night, they directly used dozens of small boats filled with saltpeter, thatch, and other fire starters to sail down the wind and burn all the Japanese pirates to death.

The biggest difference between these fire boats and ordinary boats is that in addition to being filled with fire starters, the edges of the boats are also filled with spikes and barbs. Such spikes and barbs

, once it collides with a big ship in the water, it will be firmly entangled with the big ship, until it turns into a ball of torch and ignites the planks of the big ship.

There is no big difference between naval battles and land battles in terms of tactics. They are just encirclement, interception, roundabout raids, etc. When these ships obviously have bad intentions,

As soon as they appeared, Liu Qingqing stood on the bow of the ship. With his many years of military vision, he basically judged that these ships were not going to fight with his own ship, but they were more like... driving them away?

With such a judgment, and looking at the terrain, the ship blocking the front emerged from behind the sea reef. They should have been waiting there for a long time. In other words, this battlefield was chosen by them.

In a land battle, whoever can decide the battlefield will be more inclined to win. This is a generally accepted golden rule. He expected that sea battles would be no exception.

There are enemy ships at the stern, and there are also enemy ships patrolling on the left wing. Only the right wing is left. This is clearly a "surrounding of three buildings." There are pockets arranged for us to drill. Then carefully look at the reef on the right except for the faint black

Shadow, and the looming fire in the dark shadow, the two words "fire ship" appeared in Liu Qingqing's mind almost without any suspense.

"What fire ship!" Jessica didn't understand what she said.

"They want to capture our ship, right!" Liu Qingqing seemed to suddenly understand the reason why the other party was so aggressive but cautious at the same time. The ship under her feet was larger than these pirate ships, and it seemed to have more artillery.

They had taken a fancy to this ship and didn't want to fight with it head-on, so they resorted to such a strategy.

Although she didn't understand what Liu Qingqing meant, Jessica seemed to understand that this person had different views on the situation in front of her. She couldn't judge whether what this person said was accurate, but she didn't dare to

ignore.

A moment later, Liu Qingqing appeared on the ship building. Why did the captain of Jinyiwei, a foreigner, turn a deaf ear to his words? He took out his official seal without hesitation: "I am Liu Qingqing, the inspector of the Penghu Inspection Department. At the moment

The matter is urgent, my lord, you must listen to me carefully, I don’t want to become a prisoner of the pirates!”

Poor Luka, he had only been involved with this Jin Yiwei's little flag for a few days, and Liu Qingqing took out this official seal. To him, it was really an unknown thing, and according to his understanding, at this time, he should not

There will be people who are so bold as to make this joke with themselves.

Therefore, he nodded with a serious look on his face, as if he knew what the official duties of inspection were.

Listening to Liu Qingqing's anxious explanation of his judgment, Luka looked at the dark reef in the distance with a look of fear. If the official from the Ming Dynasty who visited privately in private hadn't reminded him, he would have really prepared to sail the ship just now.

Driving there, in his imagination, by approaching the reef, he could avoid being attacked from both front and back, and relying on the firepower on the ship, he could be in an invincible position and kill those who dared to approach them one by one.

The ship is gone.

"Turn left!" he shouted loudly, first avoiding the wind direction of those fire ships, so that even if they came close, he would have enough time to sink them.

"Don't worry, my lord, these pirates don't dare to come close!" After issuing the order, he comforted the handsome official who looked a little pale, "Let's just drive forward like this.

I don’t believe they dare to stop me!”

Liu Qingqing's expression was really bad. Looking at the cheerful and silly captain, she said with some worry: "I'm not worried about this. It will be dark in more than an hour. If it gets dark,

If these pirates do something wrong again, we may not be able to detect it?"

"That's right!" Luka's face became serious. He looked at the ships in front and behind, and then at the reef: "Since they don't dare to stop us, let's go around and keep those fire ships or them behind.
