Chapter 181: Chasing pirates

Essert did not know that Huang Zheng was capable of bringing down everyone on the deck alone. But Xiao Chen told Huang Zheng to try not to intensify conflicts with the military, especially in the case of Bruders to match the bridge, to establish an enemy for nothing.
Therefore, he gave a proposal to compare.
Although Huang Zheng's comparison test sounds like a little play, it touched Essett. From his original theory, he is still very curious about these people from the East. According to common sense, the sea conditions of the Devil's Sea are so poor. The ships sent by the people of the Eastern Continent to cross the Devil's Sea must be their strongest and most advanced ships. The combat effectiveness of such a ship is of great reference value to the Western continental navy and the entire western continent how to treat these oriental visitors.
As a soldier, he was more curious about the level of military power on that continent. Some even look forward to how the so-called power of the devil helps them fight.
Essett believes in the supremacy of power. Those soldiers and even many politicians around him do not. If these guys from the Eastern Continent show that their strength is too weak, I am afraid they cannot seek real help, but will only attract a group of hungry wolves.
The watchman on the Red Cloud reported that he did see several chasing ships far away in the southwest. So he agreed to the test.
Huang Zheng left several people on the Red Cloud, and Essert took them to the bridge because he wanted to command the battle. Of course, he seized their weapons and arranged gun guards behind them. He didn't know that he had brought a humanoid bomb that could paralyze the ship to his control center.
He also asked with great interest how Huang Zheng received information from Houyi.
"This is the role of magic power. You see it as the power of the devil, but what we think is how to use it to fight against the real devil." Huang Zheng said with some mystery, "You as a soldier You should understand how important such information exchange is on the battlefield. This is not the tricky tricks in your legend, but a "scientific" application. "
"For the first time, someone dared to link the power of science and the devil." Essert said.
"I don't know how people here define science, but in my opinion it is a way of discovering the laws of things and using the laws of things. Blindly reducing the magic power to the power of the devil is not a scientific attitude." Huang Zheng Said.
"Oriental, you will toss yourself up to the stake in the early years." Essert said.
Hongyun turned its direction and went all the way to the south. What surprised Essett was that the other two sailboats did not turn at the same time, only one turned the bow and headed south.
Huang Zheng saw his thoughts and said, "Since it is a competition, of course, it is only a boat that is convincing to a boat."
"Do you really understand the difference between the artillery mounted on my ship and the old stuff on your ship?" Essett asked.
The main guns on his ship were arranged in zigzag on each end of the ship. That is to say, to attack the front and rear enemies, there are three triple-mounted 280mm main guns that can fire at the same time. If it is a side enemy, there are four triple-mounted main guns that can fire. This does not count the two 180mm secondary guns with two calibers comparable to those of the Houyi pneumatic gun.
Huang Zheng said: "Don't worry, there will be results for a while." Although he said so on his mouth, he was still worried. After the final modification of the Houyi, there were only more than 20 guns on one side, and the caliber was only 200mm. Now I can only hope for the power of magic.
The speed of the Hongyun is still relatively slow. When both ships are fully launched, the light Houyi is even faster.

It led the latter by about 1,500 meters and arrived at the battlefield first.
The situation on the battlefield is already obvious. It was originally four pirate ships chasing two merchant ships. These ships are steam ships, and the merchant ships are a little slower, and they are soon surrounded by pirate ships.
But the two ships that were inserted diagonally from the north caught the pirates' attention.
The ship in front is an inexplicable sailboat, but the speed of the sailboat is higher than their common sense. The latter is the battleship in the Western Continental Navy, the famous Hongyun. No one knows this ship among pirates living in the nearby waters. It is the main force strangling pirates. It is not known how many pirate ships were sunk in this sea.
The four pirate ships decisively abandoned the prey in front, and fled in the opposite direction when the two ships came.
Hou Yi boarded two ships fleeing southwest. The Red Cloud also began to chase the two ships that fled southeast.
Essert is very satisfied with this situation, because he can see that the two ships he is chasing are slow, and he is sure to catch up and kill at least one of them, as long as the gunner has better luck today, then kill the other one. The possibility is not small.
Just as he was about to inform the gunner to calibrate and shoot, the sound of artillery fire began to be heard in the distance. The sound of the gun was not the same as the one he was used to, and the sound was much deeper. But the artillery shells still crossed a long distance to the pirate ship.
The ship of the Eastern Continentals opened fire first. Essert picked up the telescope and looked at the waters over there. Now that several ships hadn't drawn the distance, he could clearly see the landing point of the other's shelling, and actually formed a crossfire in the first round of attack!
"This luck!"
"This is not luck." Huang Zheng said, "This is the use of magical precision."
The subsequent effective shots fully proved Huang Zheng's point of view that the projectile's landing point was getting closer and closer to the pirate ship. The pirate ship also began to fight back in a hurry, but the whereabouts of their shells were terrible. This counterattack slowed down their own speed.
Hou Yi continued to move forward, constantly narrowing the distance with the other party.
Essert wondered: "Why are they so close since they have such accuracy? Although most of these pirate artillery pieces are old things, they can have enough lethality for wooden iron-clad ships. "
Sure enough, as he said, the two ships that were originally fleeing and found that the chasing ship was a sailing boat, they simply did not run, they began to adjust the course, seize the T prefix. I'm afraid it was planned to kill the sailing boat that was chased first, and then run away.
The three ships bombarded each other, actually fighting back and forth.
Essert said: "It's a stupid tactic. If your ship is sunk by pirates, this game will become a joke."
Huang Zheng smiled in his heart: Without such a tactic, how can you let you see the power of magic?
