The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 540: The Power of the Giant Ship
The Japanese pirates and the two pirates' warships, who had come to their senses, had confused looks on their faces. They didn't know what was going on for a moment. They couldn't understand why the Chongming pirates had such powerful weapons.
They clearly saw the Chongming pirates' ship, the flags on the warships told them so, but how could the cannonballs be fired so far? !
Although they were frightened by the strange weapons that suddenly appeared on the opposite side, they soon issued an order to disperse. The warships that were originally traveling side by side suddenly dispersed further and quickly approached this side.
The leader of the Japanese pirates had a simple idea. No matter what kind of strange weapons the other side had, he didn't believe that those weapons could hit them on the sea.
Even if they were hit, they might not be sunk. As long as they were allowed to get close to those warships, they would definitely be captured.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Tong also frowned, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
Although they were sure that the person in front of them was Jiang Fan, and the two warships were also warships of the Dayan Navy, the problem was that the opponent's seventeen warships had too great an advantage.
He didn't think the two warships here could gain an advantage. If the enemy surrounded and approached them, they would be doomed.
Jiang Fan looked at the point where the shell landed and sighed. Although the gunpowder used in today's artillery is smokeless gunpowder, its power is several times that of black gunpowder.
Even the artillery shells were made using steam stamping lathes, but the power of the artillery did not seem ideal. If placed at the back, the range of a 100-caliber artillery would be at least over 30 kilometers.
Now it can't even fire at a range of 10 kilometers. The power is still far behind. It seems that whether it is the primer of the shell or other aspects, they need to be improved.
However, the current range of nearly ten kilometers is actually very good. A range of ten kilometers is almost a one-sided massacre, and you can bombard the opponent indefinitely.
The enemy had no way to stop them. Although the Japanese pirates on the other side had dispersed their formation and scattered their warships, as long as the distance was sufficient, no matter how many warships came, it would be in vain.
"Everyone, please move your warships out of the way. Leave the rest to us!" Jiang Fan said to Zhang Tong and others who were in shock.
Since it has come to this, the other party should have believed his identity, but now is not the time for both parties to talk, and the Japanese pirates are obviously coming for them.
If we don't get rid of these Japanese pirates, we won't be able to talk about things in peace.
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Zhang Tong, Zhang Zhengwei and others were stunned, but they quickly came to their senses and quickly commanded the six warships to make way for Jiang Fan's warships.
However, they still couldn't believe it. Although Jiang Fan had two huge ships, among the 17 warships of the Japanese pirates on the opposite side, at least ten of them were also huge.
It is a bit larger than the warship of Zhang Tong and his men, and only slightly smaller than the warship of Jiang Fan's side.
These two warships, even with those strange explosive weapons, may not be able to defeat each other.
Zhang Tong was considering whether to join the battle, but if he did, their side might be wiped out or even captured by the enemy.
If they don't join the battle, Jiang Fan's two warships might be destroyed. Their best option now is to escape.
"Father, we can't just sit there and watch. We have to find a way to help them!" At this time, Zhang Zhengwei looked at his father Zhang Tongdao.
The others beside him nodded when they heard this. The Japanese pirates were obviously coming for them, and they felt bad for letting them watch Jiang Fan face it alone.
But just when they wanted to help, the two warships on Jiang Fan's side suddenly moved at such a fast speed that they were all so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
The speed of that warship was more than twice theirs, and it was also extremely flexible, able to turn the ship in almost one breath!
Just as they were dumbfounded, two huge ships met the Japanese pirate fleet on the opposite side. Before they could react from the shock, the cannons on the huge ships began firing.
Because the distance was close, the artillery's range was just right, and as countless shells were fired, in the blink of an eye, a large ship on the opposite side was covered by artillery fire.
Under the shocked gaze of Zhang Tong and others, the huge ship was destroyed halfway without anyone noticing. Under their stunned gaze, the huge ship sank rapidly.
This situation not only shocked Zhang Tong and others, but also the Japanese pirates. They had never imagined that the strange weapons on the opposite side were so powerful. What terrified them even more was that the two warships that were suddenly given up were so fast!
They felt their scalps tingling and their eyes were filled with fear. They thought that by attacking in a dispersed manner, they would be able to capture or capture the enemy's warships.
But who would have thought that the enemy was not only fast, but also had weapons that were terrifyingly powerful. The enemy fired at one of the warships, and the warship sank immediately.
Given their speed, no matter how close they got, they would never be able to get close to the opposing warships. The opposing side's extremely flexible speed could not only easily avoid their encirclement, but also launch a heavy attack on them.
Just think about the fate of the warship just now, and they will know. The Japanese pirates and the two bandits who have come to their senses have no intention of investigating the other party's situation, let alone thinking about capturing the other party.
They quickly turned the boat around and tried to escape, but it was too late for them to escape.
Jiang Fan caught up with the warships and chased one of them, bombing it desperately. The other warship also chased another enemy ship and started bombarding it.
As a result, a shocking and strange scene appeared in this sea area. The Japanese pirate warships, which were so aggressive just now, were now like stray dogs, fleeing desperately.
But no matter how they fled, they were still sunk one after another by Jiang Fan's two warships. Zhang Tong and others were dumbfounded, with shock and astonishment in their eyes.
The Japanese pirates were so scared that they almost peed their pants. They could only run away desperately, hoping that they would not be the unlucky ones.
After fighting for about an hour, the two giant ships sank seven giant ships on the opposite side, allowing the rest to escape.
The enemy was actually fleeing in different groups, and when we chased one ship, the distance between it and the other ship was far. When we turned back to chase the nearest one, the other ship had escaped again.
If there were enough warships, none of the seventeen enemy ships would be able to escape. But such a result is also powerful enough!
Zhang Tong and others in the distance did not leave. They looked at the two huge ships on Jiang Fan's side with shock and envy in their eyes.
