The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 78 See Through
Looking at the four black muzzles beside him, even Xu Zhengping felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
The sailors and others on the deck and in the cabin were also stunned by this scene. If the four cannons were fired at once, and the distance came directly, I am afraid that the cabin would have to be pierced!

After all, this three-masted ship was refitted from a merchant ship, not a warship with strict structural reinforcement. If it was hit like this, it would either die or be disabled.

Not only will the personnel suffer heavy losses, but even subsequent naval battles will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Xu Zhengping's anger surged, and he jumped out immediately, rushing towards a cannon!
He pressed his palm on the muzzle of the gun, and the strong internal force surged out, pushing against the cannon and the gun mount, and suddenly knocked back the gunner who was charging the gunpowder behind.

At this time, the gunners on the left and right saw Xu Zhengping rushing in from the window of the gun muzzle, they were all stunned, holding up the torches and forgetting to light the fire door downwards.

Xu Zhengping didn't dare to delay in the slightest, he swung his left and right hands to the sides, and threw the hidden weapon!

Suddenly there was a scream in the cabin, the poisonous hidden weapon is not even able to be carried by the masters of internal skills, let alone these sailors who are only rough in fists and feet!

Just as he resolved the crisis, Lei Zong smashed the deck with his internal force and fell into the cabin.

Xu Zhengping shouted: "Turn the cannon around and let them suffer for themselves!"

"it is good!"

The two of them worked together to turn the four cannons and aim them at various places in the cabin. When the torch was pressed down, there was a loud bang!

The sailors who rushed into the cabin suddenly fell to the ground with their limbs and flesh, and at the same time, the other side of the hull was blasted with several holes, severely damaged.

The boss angrily led a group of people to kill them, but on Xu Zhengping's boat, the boss of the boat also reacted and mobilized sailors to jump to help the opponent's boat.

There were as many as a hundred sailors on this merchant ship. They originally planned to fire artillery to destroy Xu Zhengping's big ship when the two pirate ships surrounded them.

Then cooperate with the pirates to fight together, relying on the absolute number advantage, directly take them down and capture the big ship.

However, Lei allowed several people to board the ship and asked to check the cabin, which disrupted their actions, so they had to start ahead of time, so they were forced to fight alone.

Even though there were a lot of people, they were quickly taken down without enough masters, and most of the sailors were killed and thrown into the sea.

The boss and several key members were brought in front of Xu Zhengping. Xu Zhengping sat on the deck, wiping the bloody miao knife.Standing behind him were Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong.

The two also fought fiercely, their bodies were covered in blood, and their eyes were sharp.

"Which pirate gang do you belong to?"

Even though the boss was captured, he was still arrogant.

"I'm from the Bureau of Shipbuilding in Guangzhou City! If you don't want to be charged with rebellion, it's best to let me go!"

Xu Zhengping raised his eyebrows, "So you have been waiting to ambush me at sea."

"Even if you are cunning, you can even see through this, but now you have no time to escape, and the two big ships under Xu Hai's command will definitely annihilate you here."

The boss of the boat changed his expression, and said to Xu Zhengping: "Mr. Xu, Xu Hai was called the Great General of Pinghai at sea, and he was a subordinate of Wang Zhi, the leader of Wufeng Banner, but his reputation was not very good and he often did not obey the rules.

If they were defeated in this battle, Xu Hai might take revenge and cause big trouble. "

The boss laughed and said: "Who told you to kill our young master! Now even if it is called Tian Tian Ying, it is not working!

The two ships of General Ping Hai are much stronger than yours. If you are willing to capture them without a fight, our master will only punish this villain when we arrive at Guangzhou Ships Division.

For the rest of the accomplices, our master has always known how to use them well. If he is willing to take refuge in them and become a navy of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn’t it be much more promising than following this tyrant! "

Lei Zong slapped him across the face, knocking out half of the opponent's teeth.

"Damn it, what a bitch, it's about to die, and you still want to sow discord!"

Xu Zhengping narrowed his eyes and looked at the boss of the boat, "Captain Jiang, what do you think should be done with this person?"

The boss of the boat said firmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we are all people who abide by the rules, and we will never give up our position just because of one or two sentences to sow discord.

What's more, Xu Hai himself is not a man of rules, and if he falls into his hands, becoming a slave is the best end, so how could he have the opportunity to meet some Guangzhou envoys. "

He actually said this to the wavering sailors around him. When everyone thought of Xu Hai's style and Captain Jiang's personal prestige, they immediately strengthened their confidence.

Captain Jiang said: "Mr. Xu, hang the rest of the people under the side of the boat, soak them in the sea, and wait for the sharks to bite. This is the cruelest punishment at sea!"

"Good idea, you get someone to do it, it's almost time to reach the attack range of the naval guns, and you have to prepare for battle."

Captain Jiang waved the Yanling Saber and said loudly: "Brothers, leave two of you here to deal with these bastards, and the rest of you will go inside the cabin and listen to Lao Tzu's orders. We have enough firepower to kill these bastards Pirates!"

Immediately afterwards, two sailors cut a few bloody wounds on the legs and feet of the captives in the merchant ship, and then hung them under the side of the ship and soaked them into the sea amidst the wailing of the group of people begging for mercy.

In the bloody battle just now, many corpses were thrown into the sea, which has attracted a large number of sharks.

These dozens of people were hoisted into the sea, and immediately a large group of sharks rushed in, smelling the smell of blood, biting the few people who were still alive.

In extreme fear, they watched themselves being eaten by sharks one by one.

Xu Zhengping and the boss of the ship stood on the deck, and the rest of the crew had taken shelter in the cabin. When warships at sea fought, the two sides would first spray shotgun and chain bombs at each other.

Shotguns are for clearing people on deck, chain bombs are for attacking masts.

Only when the distance is close to a certain extent, the opponents are locked on each other, and they cannot escape, they will bomb each other with solid bullets, aiming at destroying the opponent's hull structure.

The captain of the boat steered the rudder and said, "They have two boats, and judging by the trajectory of their voyage, they must be planning to outflank us.

Fortunately, the hook lock of the nearby merchant ship was not released just now, and now it is hung on one side, which can be used as a shield to resist the firepower of one side.

We only need to concentrate our firepower on one side to deal with the other pirate ship. I have ordered the sailors to concentrate twelve cannons on one side to increase the density of firepower. "

Xu Zhengping looked at the protective plate above the rudder, and asked, "Is it safe for you to steer the rudder here later?"

Captain Jiang laughed and said: "Why is it not safe? The board is very thick. Unless the live ammunition hits it directly, chain bullets and shotgun ammunition are not a concern. Someone must stay on it to steer the sail. Otherwise, how can we fight?

Mr. Xu, don't worry, you wait quietly below. During the gang battle, you Nanshan gang members are the main force, and 30 people are much stronger than this group of sailors. "

Xu Zhengping didn't say anything anymore, he patted the opponent's shoulder vigorously, and entered the cabin first.

At this time, the sound of cannons sounded, and it was the pirate ships that had surrounded the two sides that fired first!
