Although the stern is not installed, the cannons on the side can be rotated and fired towards the rear, so even when escaping, they can launch a counterattack.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, 1000 archers, 500 black shield heavy infantry, and 300 spearmen began to board the ship.

There is no cavalry, mainly because this thing is too big.

A total of 1800 people basically filled the ship.

There is no doubt that the ship in the front row actually has no soldiers, only the driving crew.

According to Ye Qian's thinking, that ship will be the one to be shot.

Otherwise, if it sinks, 200 people will be buried together, and they will die.

"Set off."

The girl shouted, the anchor was put away, and it began to leave the port slowly.

Then the magic core energy was activated, the elemental array was activated, and all the ships began to accelerate slowly.

When leaving the shore a few hundred meters, the speed has reached more than 20 knots.

"The age of magic does not disappoint."

The fleet floated on the water.

Not long after, a fleet of ships came into view in the distance.

"Gunner ready to load."

The captains of each ship gave orders.

They didn't need to do anything, all orders were conveyed through the flag on Ye Qian's ship.

The telescope determined the distance, and the target's position was 5 kilometers away.

To be honest, even if it is a magic artillery, it is very difficult to hit it with armor-piercing bullets.

Who made these shells have no guidance function, and they are relatively primitive as a whole.

All you can do is correct it slowly.

"Everyone is ready, 3, 2, 1...launch!"

The soldiers on the ship pulled the rear line, and the 100mm cannon shrank instantly, making a loud noise.

boom!

boom!boom!

10 ships lined up in a row, and 30 cannons fired successively.

The shell left the chamber in an instant and flew out at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, and a large amount of smoke filled the ship immediately.

"This is the romance of a man."

Seeing the scene of the cannon firing, Ye Qian couldn't help feeling emotional.

The soldier in front looked over strangely.

Ye Qian: "..."

On the fleet in the distance.

In fact, there are 6 ships, the overall size is not large, and 2 of them are frigates.

These frigates are actually relatively primitive and old models, with only a thin layer of iron skin and no protection.One 1mm cannon was installed on it, which is a typical cannon mounted on a small boat.

But these two ships are the targets that pirates want to avoid on this water.

If you bite the bullet and rush forward, you will definitely die.

At this time, the people on those ships had already seen the fleet in the distance.

"Where did so many ships come from?"

The captain of the frigate held a binoculars and looked at the picture in his sight from a distance, his brows could not help but frown.

10 ships, although the distance is very far, but it can be judged that the size is not small.

The length is basically 40 meters.

"There seems to be no familiar ship on the nearest route, could it be a pirate?"

"Impossible, how can pirates be so rich?"

A few people behind chatted.

And at this moment, thick smoke billowed from the hull in the distance.

The captain looked carefully, and found that it actually came out from the muzzles of several dark holes.

His complexion changed slightly.

"not good!"

Quickly reacting, the captain quickly turned around and shouted hoarsely: "Bombardment! Are you all ready for battle?"

"what?"

boom!

Before everyone came back to their senses, a sky-high spray suddenly exploded on the distant lake.

"Enemy attack! Shelling, why are you still there?"

The captain immediately rushed up and kicked a certain sailor's ass: "Gunner, load the shells, and the others lower the sails, fast."

His complexion was really bad at this moment.

Because at this time they are facing a fatal matter.

That is, your own cannon can't hit the opposite side.

On the opposite side, the cannon seemed to have a very high hit rate.

boom!

Boom!

Within 100 meters around the ship, even small fish were mixed in the continuous spray.

One of the ships was blasted sideways miserably. In a violent explosion, the iron sheet was damaged, and countless wood chips inside scattered like flowers from a celestial maiden, and fell to the surface of the water.

Unfortunately, the two soldiers who were close to each other were knocked away by the shock wave. When the people next to them looked over, they were already dripping with blood and unconscious.

Yes, in the first round of 30 shells, only 1 hit.

But even so, it is already a high hit rate.

Because the surrounding water splash circle basically surrounds the ship, it can be said that if the launch angle is adjusted later, the hit probability can be further improved.

"Damn it, who is it and why is it attacking us?"

The face of the captain of the frigate turned black.

In fact, he was a mercenary who accepted the caravan's request for protection and escorted them to transport their goods to their destination.

but……

Who would have thought that they would meet such a terrifying enemy?

Generally speaking, there are 2 frigates equipped with cannons, and the pirates should be honest.

What's more, there are some small cannons on the general caravan ships. With such strength, unless the noble navy does it, who can deal with it?

So he couldn't figure it out at all.

Don't understand where those ships without flags come from.

"Second shot, reload."

After the first shell was fired, the loaders behind the gun had already pushed the shell into the barrel.

The 100mm artillery shell weighs more than 15 kilograms, and it is also very close to modern artillery shells in appearance.

When the cannon is loaded, the propellant that makes the cannonball fire is actually made of some powder from the magic core.

After all preparations are completed, close the back cover, wait until the direction and angle of the front muzzle are slightly adjusted, and then pull it hard.

The second round of shelling was soon fired again.

The shell pierced several kilometers of sea surface and quickly fell towards the target.

boom!

A violent explosion occurred on the side of a merchant ship.

The waves rushed out of the water, and the intense shock wave directly tore the hull of the ship.

Although it didn't hit completely, but because the concentrated position was too close, the wooden boat still suffered a severe blow.

, the hull shook violently with the water surface.

Before the soldiers on the ship could stand still, there was another loud noise on the front deck, and a large piece of wood was blown away. Several crew members were thrown more than ten meters away and fell into the sea water.

"Ahem, fight back! Fight back!"

The distance between the two sides was getting closer, seeing the enemy slowly approaching the range, the captain here immediately urged the gunner to attack.

The gunner was already injured at this time, the broken wood chips on his body had cut his skin, and blood was flowing from his abdomen.

He clutched his stomach, rushed up reluctantly, picked up a shell with both hands, and pushed it into the barrel.

Another person a few meters away also climbed up, took a few steps on the violently shaking ship, and then began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.

"Damn it, how did it hit the dangling one?"

The man cursed secretly.

But there is no other way, and I can only fight if I bite the bullet.

The guns on the opposite side are outrageous, a round of salvos in about 10 seconds, with a large number and a high hit rate.

Looking not far away, a frigate was hit many times and tended to sink. Another merchant ship was also hit by a shot. It didn't seem to sink immediately, but the hull was seriously flooded.

"Fuck, hurry up."

Seeing the loader slowly pushing the shells in, the man couldn't help cursing.

"Hurry up, sister, don't talk nonsense, can you get up quickly after shaking like this?"

Amid repeated scolding, the lid was finally closed, and both of them covered their ears and took a few steps back, and then the last person hiding behind pulled hard to get off the line.

boom!

Smoke rose and shells were fired.

"Quick, next time."

The captain quickly picked up the binoculars and pointed it into the distance.

After waiting for a while, I saw a wave exploded a hundred meters away from the boat on the opposite side.

"Grass!"

Chapter 167 Dangerous Attacker

"Is this funny?"

Looking at the situation on the other side, Ye Qian couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The opposite side is very anxious at this time.

In fact, to her, that fleet was not innocent, but a standard enemy.The object of the other party's service is the viscount he is going to attack at this time, the owner of the port city.

Subsequent consecutive shells hit the opposite ships one after another.

As the distance gets closer, the hit rate is still increasing.

The ship will inevitably sink, but Ye Qian is not worried about anything.She will consider getting some diving equipment later, and go into the water to fish out useful things.

Not long after, the caravan's ships were blown up to the point where there were only 2 ships left.

But at this time, the captain on the frigate holding a binoculars saw a person on the enemy's flagship.
