The Princess of the Palm

Chapter 451 Waiting Quietly

"princess!"

Following the sound of the princess, a gunshot sounded after the past second round of shells, and there was a sound of shouting and killing.

Yidong and Mahler looked dumbfounded at the woman carrying a musket on the hill in the distance, and rubbed their eyes. That's right, it should be the princess, and there were people from Zhanblade and Junjun around.But... Isn't the princess unwell and pregnant?Why did you come here?If something goes wrong, the prince must chop off their heads?But what the two of them didn't know was that when they saw Mo Yunqian, they were inexplicably... breathed a sigh of relief.

Following the sound of the princess, a gunshot sounded after the past second round of shells, and there was a sound of shouting and killing.

The sound of shouting to kill?Yidong and Mahler hurriedly turned their heads and looked back, only to see a group of members of Warblade rushing out from unknown places in all directions, and they couldn't find their specific hiding place at all. They only knew that when they saw them, they had rushed out They came out, and each of them had a musket similar to Ito's in addition to a long gun in their hands.

helper!Reinforcements!
Ji Tianzhang of Moon City had just checked the pulse of Anping, whose life and death were unknown, and had just prepared everything when he heard the sound of artillery from the coastal defense line of the city gate.Putting away his medicine box unhurriedly, Ji Tianzhang smiled gently, turned his head and looked at the young generals who had just been picked out and nodded in satisfaction, what a formidable young man!

"Second Young Master Ji, shall we fight out now? Lieutenant Yidong and his men have already ambushed in the woods over there."

Ji Tianzhang, who had just finished praising people in his heart, directly gave these so-called young generals a cross. They are so terrible, fart, let's go back to the original shape and continue training.

"Of course I have to go out, otherwise what would I do here? It's just that I have to wait, it's not very interesting to come and catch a turtle." Ji Tianzhang's fan bone hit the young general's head who was asking the question, and there was a bang, "Be careful, what's the hurry urgent!"

The young generals around all looked at the brother who was beaten with sympathy, sympathy for you!You have to hold on!rely on you!What is the so-called dead friends who never die poor?This is it!
Ji Tianzhang set off unhurriedly, and when he was about to get out of the inner defense line of Yuecheng, he heard the sound of cannons.Instruct the navy fleet to travel along the upper reaches of the Yuemu River, and quickly turn to the right after reaching the mouth of the sea. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw dozens of incoming Eastern Navy ships in the distance!

"It seems that the fight is very exciting. I really don't know. What kind of scene would it be if they knew that they were facing the powerful army led by Princess Zhen? The expression must be very interesting!"

The young generals on the side didn't respond at first, but the more they listened, the more something went wrong. Wait a minute, the strong army led by Princess Zhen... led by Princess Zhen... Nima, the princess is here! ?
"Huh? Didn't this master say anything? I'm so sorry, I'm getting old and my brain is not working well." Before waiting for a few young generals to ask, Ji Tianzhang said something, but his eyes flickered, and there was a threat in his eyes.

The young generals have heard enough about the glorious deeds of the second young master of the Ji family, so they dare not refute. In short, Daxian'er, do whatever you say!

Here, Wu Yuan's generals were still happily bombarding the shore. Dozens of cannons on the left side of the warship fired six or seven shells one after another, and the barrels began to turn red.Not long after the navy led by Ji Tianzhang turned around, the soldiers on Dongyang's side lying on the mast also spotted them.

Wu Yuan's gaze was still fixed on the direction of the artillery bombardment, when suddenly he heard someone shout, "General, general, a ship is coming, it's a warship from Moon City!"

Wu Yuan lifted his spirits when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look around. Sure enough, he found the figure of the Yuecheng warship not far away, and hurriedly urged, "It's the fleet of Prince Zhen's Mansion, hurry up, hurry up, and quickly seize the advantage." Position, form an attack formation!"

Although the sea here is not very wide, thirty or forty warships can be lined up in a horizontal row. The warships under Wu Yuan can be considered battle-tested. After receiving the flag order, they quickly began to line up one by one. The artillery was ready to meet the enemy in the direction Ji Tianzhang came from.

Wu Yuan's order was absolute, and the Dongyang Army under him moved very quickly, but the speed of the ships could not be increased, because the previous actions of Yidong and the others made Wu Yuan's fleet all crowded at the seaside and bombarded the shore. , and here the water is shallow and the waves are slow, and the fifty or sixty warships are very slow to move away from each other, and the artillery on the left side of the warship is already a little red, and it is impossible to fire high-intensity cannons. If the hull is not adjusted , the artillery equipped on the starboard side could not return fire at all.

This should be an encounter between the two parties. Standing on the command ship in the middle, Ji Tianzhang almost immediately issued the same order as Wu Yuan, "Prepare for battle!"

"Dangdangdang!" A rush of gongs sounded, and the officers and soldiers of the naval ships quickly moved into combat positions and were ready to be called.

Ji Tianzhang originally wanted to use a good warship, but when he entered Moon City, he realized how miserable the situation was. What warships were there, at most it was a Fuchuan team, and what he was at right now was a Fuchuan.

But even so, after receiving the general order, the ships lowered their sails and slowed down, while driving sideways. Taking advantage of the momentum of the fleet, the fleet adjusted the sails a little, and immediately adjusted the course at an extremely fast speed. The muzzles of each black hole were aimed at the direction of the Eastern Army, facing each other from a distance.

The fleets of the two parties are very similar, and their configurations are also similar.Luckily, the Xiangyun army had seized the opportunity, took the lead in setting up the formation, and entered the attack position first. The distance between the two sides was gradually approaching the optimal range of the artillery.

When all the warships were set up, Ji Tianzhang raised the command flag in his hand and pointed forward, "Fire!"

Anyway, the enemy also knew the military command terms of Prince Zhen's Mansion, so it's better to use them than to hide them, just look at them casually, and it's useless to look at them!

"Boom, boom, boom!" The artillery roared, and the side of the ship shook.Suddenly the sea was filled with smoke.

At this distance, the first round of firing usually has the nature of calibrating gun positions and demonstrations and intimidation, and the accuracy is limited.However, at this time, the results of a large amount of training can be seen. At least two-thirds of the Xiangyun Army's shells are concentrated on the warships of the Eastern Army, and the remaining one-third of the shells fired, most of them They all fell into the sea, and the shells that could fall into the sea stirred up a column of water that instantly swept the soldiers on the deck of the warship of the Eastern Army into the sea.

After the first round of firing, the gunners on the Xiangyun military ship quickly adjusted the range and aim, cleaned the barrel, and reloaded the shells.These are the things they soldiers who may go to sea to fight in the future should know, so the speed is extremely fast.

The second round of artillery fire was fired again.At the same time, Wu Yuan's battleship had turned to a suitable position. Following his order, the tom tom sounded like rhythmic drumming, and a burst of flames burst out from the gun ports on the starboard side of each ship. The smoke was so dense that the two sides could only feel the waves hitting the side of the ship and splashing on their bodies, but they could no longer see the other party's ship clearly.
