Wu Qingyuan did not have much hope when he heard that Yuan Shan was going to sea to fight pirates, and the total number of officers and men accompanying the ten official ships in Fuzhou was as high as 2,000, of which the number of Fuzhou sailors was 1,000, and the new recruits of Tian Yuan were 500, and the rest were 300 soldiers who followed all the way, as well as 200 crew members and people from the ordnance supervisor.
At present, there are eighteen ships in the fleet, of which two treasure ships serve as the main and deputy flagships, and six newly repaired warships are the main force of battle.
On the Snapdragon, Tian Yuan held a monocular and was always paying attention to the surrounding movements, and there was no sign of an island in the vast sea.
Lian Jia is studying the nautical charts with Tian Yuan in the shipbuilding, and now Lian Jia's official position is higher than Tian Yuan, so many times Tian Yuan also has to listen to Lian Jia's opinions, not to say how Wenchen is, just by relying on the ordnance supervisor to work on the Snapdragon, Tian Yuan has to listen to others.
"Lian Jianzheng, this chart really has islands."
Tian Yuan wondered.
He didn't believe the chart given by Wonseon.
"Of course there is, I told you that Yuan Servant is not an ordinary person, that is a master who knows astronomy and geography, when he was the weapons superintendent, we didn't believe that firearms could open mountains and crack rocks, haven't you seen the power of our ship's artillery, so many things are not something you and I can speculate."
Lian Jia said.
"Is there really such a god, I have long heard that the Yuan servant has the title of God of Wealth, and making money is a first-class power, but is this speculation technique more powerful than Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng" Tian Yuan immediately said unconvinced.
"I don't know if Yuan Tiangang is powerful, but don't you know that Li Chunfeng is now studying the physics and arithmetic of Yuan Servant."
Lian Jia said.
"Isn't it that the Yuan Servant is more powerful than Li Chunfeng."
Tian Yuan said immediately.
"It doesn't matter who is powerful, you anyway, let's just sail according to the chart, if we can really find the ability of the pirate General Yitian, we must seize this opportunity, maybe soon the general will be promoted again."
Lian Jia Dao.
"Hahaha, I hope to find the pirate's den soon."
Tian Yuandao.
The fleet travels in the voyage to carry out the coordination of the flag with each other, the formation and the change of the fleet queue, Tian Yuan is good at these naturally does not need Yuan Shan to come forward, just save a lot of time.
As a result, two days later, it turned out that there seemed to be nothing special about the coordinated battle of the fleet, and in general the battle was still based on the traditional strategy of fighting more and less in close quarters.
Fuzhou Thorn Shi has long said about the situation of pirates, and the pirates who have never learned about it may have more than 20 warships, and now they have been captured by Yuan Shan, and the strength of the pirates' fleet will be greatly reduced, even if there are more people and not enough ships, they can only become lambs to the slaughter.
On the third day, the ships had been sailing with the wind, but the ten official ships in Fuzhou had never left Fuzhou so far, and now it was impossible to return alone, so they could only follow the big ships.
Immediately after lunch on board, the Snapdragon's observers sent a warning, and the ships were in tune with the chess on the Snapdragon Satisfaction.
"Master Hou has really discovered the island."
Yanbei said.
Xue Rengui immediately went to the deck and began to observe, Qian Niuwei and the others were guarding Yuan Shan's side, and the islands that had not appeared on the Tang Sea Chart could be surprising if they were discovered.
There were only two people in the fleet who were very indifferent, one was Yuan Shan, and the other was Tian Yuan, because he didn't have that time at this time, and the observer found the island and the pirate warship docked on the shore.
Waiting for their ships to pass at such a distance, the pirates' ships may also leave the port.
Due to the reduction in cargo, the speed of the two treasure ships is now at its maximum.
Lin Xing was very depressed, since the last robbery failed and he was trapped, he lost six warships and more than a hundred people.
There are a lot of people on the island, but it is also difficult to make up for the loss of more than a hundred people, and the last time he fainted and woke up, he found that he had been defeated, and he was very unwilling as a very powerful pirate leader.
According to the investigation of the eyeliner, their damaged boat was towed back for repairs, and they all thought about attacking Fuzhou Port at night, but Zhang Yao refused, for the simple reason that they also found that there were new sailors training on the shore.
According to their plan, wait for another month for the pirates in the south to divide the interests of Fuzhou Port together, and then the two big ships will be divided equally one by one, but where did he think that the official ships in Fuzhou would really find them.
"It's not that easy to run."
Lian Jia is directing the craftsmen to cooperate with the soldiers to operate the artillery, and another purpose of clearing the pirates is to use them to train the soldiers.
The solid iron ball of "boom boom" flew continuously towards the ships on the shore, and the quasi-head was a little surprised that the soldiers were operating slowly and methodically according to the steps, which was training artillery, and the method used was actual combat drills.
Loading, aiming, ignition, and clearing the chamber were repeated again, and the observers on the side were observing the hit effect of the shells with binoculars, and Lian Jia adjusted the angle of the artillery on the side.
All the gunners on the ship did was to complete the steps as required, and as for the effect of the shelling, they could not see the results at the first time, because the shelling was carried out from a distance.
In addition to the two large ships of the flagship, the other sixteen ships were rapidly approaching, and the artillery support of the Snapdragon blinded the pirates at the first time.
Many people simply couldn't understand why the iron ball was able to fly over the opponent's ship.
"It's a spell, it's a spell," the pirates are superstitious and incoherent at all.
"Big brother, you take someone and leave quickly."
Wang Shan shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the deck of a ship was smashed by iron balls, and their ship had not really been able to leave the port until now.
After the sixteen ships rushed over, all the warships were intertwined, and at this point, the artillery was useless, and the Snapdragon began to move forward.

There wasn't much combat power on board, and the ship was mainly used to help and carry cargo.
"Prepare the Divine Arm Bow, you must condemn their flagship to death for me."
Tian Yuan shouted on the Snapdragon.
The treasure ship joined the battle, the hull was tall, and the warriors fought with bows and arrows, and when the sufficient arrows came close, it was a mess of arrows, and more than 300 people fought on the treasure ship with great effort.
At this time, the pirates were fighting with the officers and soldiers of Fuzhou as they prepared to flee on the ship, and all the pirates who did not board the ship began to retreat into the woods on the road.
"The general pirates have retreated to the island."
There will be reports.
"Capture their ships and see where they can go."
Tian Yuandao.
