784 , Black Iron Ship
Red Beard returned happily with the "Xin Chou Treaty" signed with the Qing court. The warship he was riding this time was the top warships of the sail era. In addition to the naval guns and stern guns, there were also forty-eight cannons, all of which were developed by the Western countries. They had a long range, great power and high accuracy. After unified evaluation by many Western countries, the combat power of this warship is no less than that of the most powerful warship of the Dameng Kingdom, the "Giant Dragon Boat".?

?Although there are more ship-borne guns on the dragon boat, the hull of the dragon boat is too large and unhappy. If you exchange fire with the Red Beard, you will only be passively beaten.
Not only is the ship powerful, Red Bearded Benze is also one of the most powerful captains in Western Europe. He has unparalleled strength when manipulating ships and commanding fleets to fight. He is the strongest pirate as famous as Black Beard.
This time, the Eight-Nation Alliance invited him to come to Yaojin to negotiate with the Qing court because he had the ability to pass through the sea blockade formed by the fleet of Zheng Zhilong and Li Huamei. In fact, on the way north of him, he encountered Zheng Zhilong's fleet twice, and he successfully broke through and sank a warship of Zheng Zhilong.
So when he returned to the voyage, Hongbei also looked relaxed, whistling indifferently, drinking rum. After leaving the coast of Yaojin, he sailed south for a short period of time. Redbei's men came to greet him. This was a huge fleet of sixteen ships. Redbei was on the flagship, and the other fifteen were considered escort ships. Since he could only go to one ship during the negotiations, he did not take all these ships to the island overseas in Yaojin.
An officer named Andrew walked to Redbeard and asked, "Oh, is the signing of this contract going smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly!" Hongbei smiled and said, "The Qing Dynasty was too weak. They were not as difficult as the Da Meng Kingdom's entry. Even if the Da Meng Kingdom's entry could not defeat us, they would not cede land and pay compensation. Instead, they had to fight to the death with us. These Qing Dynasty guys were so scared that they would be soft and too easy to bully."
The Western soldiers on the ship laughed.
"Sailing south!" Red Beard ordered: "If you encounter Li Huamei or Zheng Zhilong's large fleet, you should bypass it. If you encounter an enemy ship that is alone, you will be knocked down."
"yes!"
The Western fleet sailed south a few times, getting closer and closer to Shanghai. The Red Beard ordered the sailors to cheer up. This time, they had reached dozens of nautical miles east of the mouth of the Yangtze River. Suddenly, the sailors in charge of looking out shouted: "A strange black ship appears not far from the west!"
"The weird black ship? Where is the weird one?" Redbeard asked curiously.
The lookout said: "This ship... seems to be made of iron!"
"What?" Red Beard was shocked: "Don't talk nonsense, how can iron be used to build a ship? Iron ships cannot float on the water. And the iron is very heavy, how can the sails be carried?"
He didn't believe the words of the lookout soldiers, so he climbed up the mast himself, took it out to look into the west, and soon he also appeared the strange black ship. The situation he saw from the telescope was indeed made of iron, with a strong metal texture, and the sunlight shone on it, which would actually reflect light.
This large iron ship has no sails because the sails are simply impossible to drive such a large ship. In fact, this ship sails without sails and sails very fast.
"Oh, my Yao!" Red Beard stroked his forehead with his hand: "This kind of ship cannot exist in the world. Is it a ghost ship?"
Hearing the three words "Ghost Ship", the sailors on the ship were trembling with fear. But now it is Dabaiyao, and the sun is dazzling. How can the ghost ship or something be possible?
"It must be sailing with the power of magic!" Red Beard shouted: "Please come out by our white spoonful of master Blackhart."
Blackhart was the Western Division in Wang Zhi's Japanese pirate regiment. When Wang Zhi was destroyed, he escaped from chaos. This time he followed the Eight-Nation Alliance. When he came to the deck, many of the Western sailors on the ship had already boarded the masts, held the telescope and saw the black iron ship that was slackening from the West.
Blackhard used a detection spell to the black iron ship from afar. As the name suggests, this detection spell is used for detection, so the distance is very far away, several times longer than the range of the cannon. It can be used to detect what spells the enemy uses, the variety of spells and their characteristics.
After a while, Blackhart shook his head and said, "This big black iron ship does not use any magic."
The Western sailors were moved and exclaimed: "This is impossible!"
"How could there be an iron ship that is not magical and sails on its own without sails?"
At this time, a golden dragon flag suddenly stood up on the bow of the big iron ship, and the red beard immediately recognized: "It is the golden dragon flag of the royal family of the big cute country, and the one on the ship is the royal relative of the big cute country."
The lookout also reported: "Captain, the other party has come with the flag
He said that he was the prince of Yu of the Great Meng Kingdom. He asked us to put down our weapons and surrender obediently, so that we could spare our lives and let us move bricks, otherwise we would kill all of us."
After hearing this, Hongbei was furious: "What Prince Yu? I have never heard of it. I only heard that there is a prince of Shanghai in Dameng Country that is powerful, and everything else is irresistible. Humph! It's outrageous. He just has such a broken ship. We have sixteen warships. How dare he ask us to surrender? The young men, prepare and bombard me with this weird iron ship to the bottom of the sea."
"Okay!" The pirates began to prepare for the war urgently. The cannons used by these sixteen ships were all new cannons, with extremely long range and extremely powerful. The maximum caliber barrel was 50 mm, which was considered very powerful. It was the most cutting-edge technology brought by the industrial revolution. It hit a very high hit rate at a distance of five or six miles and was very powerful. It had surpassed the cannons that Yiyun used when they fought a naval battle with Yiyun.
The sixteen warships turned their heads together and made beautiful battle lines. They just waited for the black iron ship to enter the range, and then used shells to knock the black iron ship into slag.
A flag soldier climbed onto the mast and returned to the flag saying, "The Prince of Yu of the Great Man is right? We are the Mediterranean pirate king, the fleet of the Red Bearded Barbarossa. Now you are ordered to surrender immediately and hand over the iron ship to us, otherwise you will be killed."
They returned to the black iron ship with a white spoon of flag words, which obviously angered the black iron ship. The iron ship immediately began to make strange moves... The black iron ship's ship suddenly appeared a rectangular hole, and a cannon rose from under the hole.
"What's the situation? Why are the cannons usually loaded in the belly of the boat? They only rise when they need to be used?" Red Beard couldn't understand: "Is this weird magic?"
** Master Blackhart quickly said: "This is not magic, it should be technology."
The naval gun on the black iron ship was finally lifted, and the whole picture appeared in front of the Western Incoming. Red Beard took a telescope and then exclaimed: "I**! How big is this cannon?
A Western sailor who specialized in artillery next to him screamed: "The caliber of that cannon is at least 34o mm!"
"I **! It is absolutely impossible to have more than 34o mm." Red Beard was shocked: "Our highest technology in Europe can only make a 5o mm caliber cannon, and that cannon must be fake! Fake!"
As soon as Red Beard finished speaking, he saw a red light flashing from the cannon's muzzle... Because the distance is twenty nautical miles away, the fire at the cannon will first reach the enemy's eyes when the cannon fires. After Red Beard saw the fire of the cannon, he heard the "rumbling" sound of cannons. After a few seconds, he heard the screaming sound of shells flying in the air... "Swish..."
"I **! The 34o mm caliber cannon really fired?" Red Beard was so shocked that he was dying. Before he could react, he saw an escort ship not far from his flagship making a loud "touch" sound, breaking from the interruption, and then igniting a fire... It turned out that a huge shell with a diameter of 34o mm fell on the ship. The poor wooden sailboat could withstand the bombardment of the 34o mm level cannon. However, this gun sent it to Xiyao and went to have tea with Buddha Tathagata.
The red beard's mouth suddenly opened, and he couldn't even get close to it: What kind of technology is this? 34o mm caliber, hitting a ship more than 20 nautical miles away in one shot, this is completely cheating!
Just as he was sadly lamenting that technology was changing with each passing day, two grooves were hidden on the deck of the black iron ship, and two main guns appeared on the deck.
Poor Red Beard doesn't know this kind of gunboat. If he had participated in the naval battle of World War II, he would know that this kind of warship is called the first three and the second two, and the multiple turret party! That is, the ship has three main guns, two main guns at the stern of the ship, and a 34o mm caliber triple-mounted unit, which is an absolute monster among monsters.
Then, the three-door, two-unit ships, like a black iron ship, opened fire together, and the 34o mm caliber cannon was bombarded. In this era... in this plane... its power can be said to be the gods blocking the gods, and the Buddha blocking the Buddhas blocking the Buddhas.
Redbeard looked at the distance of twenty nautical miles and could only jump and swear, and was powerless.
Six large 34o mm-level shells fell into the Redbeard's fleet in succession. Some of them fell apart, but two were hit right, and two more Western warships made loud noises, which turned into large fire groups.
Red Beard was so blasted that he couldn't figure out the situation. Yangyao shouted: "I**! What is going on with this? What technology did the enemy use?"
At this time, in the cabin of the black iron ship, Yi Yun was holding a telescope and looking at the furious red beard, and he smiled at Li Huamei beside him and said, "How is this? This cute naval cannon is so powerful!"
