The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Qing Yucheng on the side also nodded. The two siblings had been in Huaining County, trained together, and were familiar with various business dealings and trade, and had contact with many Westerners.

When Jiang Fan heard what the two siblings said, the murderous look in his eyes intensified. If what the two siblings said was not wrong, then these warships in front of them might be the Hebrew fleet.

However, I don’t know when these people came to Japan, and what their relationship is with Japan?

However, as long as he could defeat these warships and capture the people on board, he would be able to find out what was going on.

Looking at the warships rushing towards them aggressively, Jiang Fan's eyes became more murderous. He looked at the warships with a telescope, and suddenly frowned, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He saw many cannons on those huge warships. Those cannons looked crude, but the muzzles were large. Moreover, the people wearing blue and white military uniforms on the warships were holding things that looked like rope-pulling guns.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan was a little stunned. These Hebrew people had actually learned how to make cannons and rope guns?

Logically speaking, gunpowder should have been introduced from China to the West, and at that time, Westerners did not know what gunpowder was. So how did these people have gunpowder?

Apart from gunpowder, how could the Hebrew people have made cannons and rope-pulling guns?

However, Jiang Fan soon understood the reason. After all, the business dealings between the West and China could be traced back to five years ago. At that time, Jiang Fan's Huaining County's foreign trade had already matured.

Fireworks were once one of the commodities. After fireworks spread to the West, with the intelligence of the Hebrew people, it was definitely not a problem for them to come up with cannons and rope guns in a short period of time.

Or, as long as he captures those people, he will be able to find out the specific reason.

Looking at the warships getting closer and closer, Jiang Fan had a hint of sarcasm on his lips. No wonder these people were so bold as to rely on only 34 warships to confront their 500 warships head-on. It turned out they had something to rely on!

But in his eyes, this reliance was really nothing. Qing Yucheng, Qing Lingxiu, Chu Chengrui and Chu Chengxiong looked at Jiang Fan.

"Should we look for them... These guys look really crazy, and they seem to have artillery and guns..." Chu Chengxiong looked at Jiang Fan, licked his lips, with a strong desire to fight in his eyes.

"Why not wait until they get closer before fighting? If I attack now, I'm afraid they'll be scared and run away. Once they get close, it won't be easy for them to escape!"

Chu Chengrui said lightly with a hint of amusement on his face.

This guy is indeed extremely cunning. When dealing with the enemy in front of him, his cunningness makes others feel fearful.

Just as he said, the enemies on the opposite side probably thought they were sure to win, so they rushed over aggressively. But when they found out that their support was nothing in front of them.

When the enemy still had weapons that made them despair, these people had no chance to escape, and only despair and fear were left in their eyes. That feeling made people's scalps numb just thinking about it.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan smiled and nodded, and said to Chu Chengrui: "Just do as you say... By the way, don't kill them all, leave some people behind, I have something to ask!"

As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Chu Chengrui nodded in response. Soon, he came to the main seat of the warship and began to give orders.

Through flag signals, the surrounding warships had received the order and only deployed their formations without launching an attack. The warships in the rear were on standby.

Therefore, there were only less than thirty warships that actually faced the thirty-four warships on the opposite side, and the other warships stayed where they were, as if watching a show.

As the opposing warships got closer, Jiang Fan and others were able to see the ecstasy and ridicule in the eyes of the Westerners on the opposing warships through telescopes.

Some people even gave orders to bombard with artillery, but they had not yet fired, and it was obvious that the power of the artillery was not great. At this time, the distance between the two sides was nearly four or five miles, which was equivalent to more than two thousand meters, a little more than two kilometers.

If artillery can't hit them at such a distance, one can imagine how powerful their artillery is.

However, if they cannot resolve the relationship between gunpowder and artillery shells, gunpowder cannot exert its maximum power, and the power of artillery can be imagined.

Moreover, if Jiang Fan guessed correctly, the cannons on the opposing warships all used solid bullets, which could only be used to break the hull. If they wanted to hurt people, it would depend entirely on the location of the hit.

Just when the people on the opposite side were getting carried away and ready to use cannons at any time, Jiang Fan glanced at Chu Chengrui in the main control room.

Chu Chengrui also looked at Jiang Fan outside the deck and nodded slightly. Then he gave the order to attack.

He could see the situation on the other side clearly through the telescope, but the people on the other side could not see the situation on this side with their naked eyes. At most, they could only see a small shadow.

Just as these people were preparing to fire their artillery, suddenly, nearly a hundred artillery pieces from the Yan army fired at the same time, and countless artillery fire immediately poured towards the warships on the opposite side.

Through the telescope, Jiang Fan and others saw the fear and astonishment in the eyes of those Westerners. For a moment, they seemed to have no idea what was going on, and they couldn't understand why the Yan army actually had artillery.

Bang... bang... countless artillery shells fell on the opposite warship, directly blowing up the deck the moment they landed, and countless Westerners were blown to pieces.

One of the warships was given special attention. Under the horrified gaze of the Westerners, it slowly began to sink. The people on the ship fled in all directions, and many people fell into the water, struggling constantly in the water.

Such a situation made the people on the thirty or forty warships dumbfounded. They looked in horror at the warship on the opposite side, which they thought was fat meat. When they came to their senses, they turned around in horror and wanted to escape.

But just as they were running away, the warships behind them suddenly caught up with them and continued to bombard them with artillery fire, forcing them to flee in panic.

As for using the cannons on their warships to fire back? ! It was simply a dream. Not to mention that they were fleeing in a hurry, they couldn't aim at all. Even if they aimed, the speed of the opposing warships was too fast.

Just as their artillery fired, the warship changed direction, and when their shells fell, the warship had already left the original place. Their shells also fell into the water.

Seeing such a flexible and maneuverable warship, the Westerners on the opposite warship showed fear and surprise in their eyes.

After coming to their senses, they sped up their escape. The two were simply not in the same league, so how could they fight like this?

Although their warships increased their speed, the warships behind them were emitting black smoke and catching up at a very fast speed. The warships that were originally motionless also surrounded them from all directions.

However, in just half an hour, all their routes were blocked and they could no longer escape!
