Chapter 228: Agreement Like Waste Paper

At this time, neither Zhang Wei nor the Northern Fleet thought of bringing up the agreement that had just been signed.

It is obvious that both parties know that the agreement they signed before is just a piece of waste paper.

Besides, this small-scale conflict will not affect the overall situation.

After the battle, both sides will send envoys to argue with each other.

The first round of shooting happened quickly.

Zhang Wei's three warships fired 1 shells in the first round, and the opponent responded with six shells.

The reason for such a large difference in number is that the Northern Fleet's warships have a gun installed on the bow.

However, Zhang Wei's side installed a ram on the bow instead of a naval gun. This is because the warships were built based on their different tactical purposes, so their equipment was different.

Of the Northern Fleet's six shells, four fell into the water and two were blocked by Zhang Wei's magic shield.

The solid cannonball hit the magic shield just like it hit a wall.

The shells quickly lost their kinetic energy, slid off the magic defense shield, and fell into the sea.

Most of Zhang Wei's side's 36 shells also fell into the sea.

Only three shells hit the enemy, two of which only knocked off some wooden boards and did not cause any substantial damage.

Another shell was extremely lucky and hit the bow gun of a warship, destroying it and making it unusable.

However, this will not destroy the offensive morale of the Northern Fleet. Instead, they want to get closer to Zhang Wei's side faster and use small cannons to destroy Zhang Wei's magic defense shield as soon as possible.

Zhang Wei's side was not stupid either. They began to move using the wind direction. On the one hand, they tried to keep as much distance as possible from the Northern Fleet. On the other hand, they ensured that they could always control the favorable wind direction and position.

At the same time, Zhang Wei personally took action and began to rescue the crew, soldiers and magicians who fell into the water.

The salvo just now almost capsized the ship, and the crew, soldiers and magicians on the other side were not mentally prepared, so they slipped and fell into the water when the ship was about to capsize.

This sudden situation made Zhang Wei realize that it was not possible to install unlimited guns on the ship, and the number of guns still had to be combined with the design of the hull.

Zhang Wei also made some choices when rescuing people. He prioritized rescuing the magicians, followed by the crew members, and finally the soldiers.

The reason why soldiers are not as good as sailors is mainly because of the popularity of muskets, which makes it possible for even sailors to use muskets after simple training.

So the crew could both use muskets and operate ships, but conversely, soldiers could use muskets proficiently but found it difficult to operate ships proficiently.

So they will become soldiers, and their priority will not be as high as that of crew members.

If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to find excellent crew members, Zhang Wei wouldn't mind replacing these soldiers with crew members.

As for training soldiers into excellent crew members, that would require a very long training time.

After three rounds of shelling by both sides, the Northern Fleet finally bit the tails of Zhang Wei's three ships. Zhang Wei's privateering warships not only had no bow guns, but also no stern guns, which made Zhang Wei's warships very uncomfortable.

The commander of the Northern Fleet was also a ruthless man. He directly ordered the leading warship to throw the bow gun into the sea, and then pushed the small cannon loaded with shotgun shells to the position of the bow gun.

The commander's purpose was very clear, which was to use shotgun shells to destroy Zhang Wei's magic defense shield.

The first round of shotgun shells easily tore through the magic defense shield of Zhang Wei's warship at the rear.

The second round of shotgun shells followed, causing great damage to the crew and soldiers on the deck. The magicians escaped this disaster because of their own magic shield, but it was not a long-term solution.

Zhang Wei's side, which did not have a stern gun, could only issue a military order immediately, no longer occupying the advantageous direction, but instead turning the bow to prepare for an artillery exchange with the enemy.

A fierce battle ensued.

The roar of artillery fire and people's screams filled the air.

The soldiers wanted to fire every shell and bullet as death waved at them, so as to destroy the enemy before the enemy destroyed themselves.

The magicians tried their best to inflict as much damage to the enemy as possible before their magic power ran out, and both sides were blood-thirsty.

Even at the critical moment of the battle, Zhang Wei's side no longer considered a salvo, which might cause the ship to capsize. They pushed as many guns as possible to one side and bombarded the enemy.

The Northern Fleet also committed such stupid acts.

At this time, Zhang Wei also did not follow the moral code and flashed onto the enemy ship and began to massacre.

Zhang Wei, who was also immersed in the rush to kill the enemy, did not notice that his three warships were making self-destructive moves.

After a round of salvos from Zhang Wei's three warships, two of them capsized.

Although the other warship did not capsize immediately, it luckily escaped the disaster.

However, two warships of the Northern Fleet were also so bloodthirsty that they ignored the fact that their bows had no ramming horns and accelerated directly to ram the warship that was gradually regaining its balance.

Although the two warships successfully capsized Zhang Wei's warship, their bows also suffered severe damage.

What was even more fatal was that the Northern Fleet's salvo followed closely, and the two warships suffered heavy losses due to accidental damage and even lost their ability to move.

Among the remaining four warships of the Northern Fleet, one was completely destroyed by Zhang Wei, and the other two warships also capsized because they followed Zhang Wei's example.

The only remaining battleship looked at the devastated battlefield and did not taste the joy of victory.

On the other side of the battlefield, Zhang Wei's three privateering warships used the kite-flying tactic to seriously damage two enemy warships.

When both sides discovered that the battle on Zhang Wei's side had ended, they looked at the tragic outcome of the battle and tacitly gave up attacking each other.

Both sides came to the battlefield where Zhang Wei was and began to salvage their own people who fell into the water in tacit cooperation.

The temporary commander of the Northern Fleet (the previous commander had been killed in battle, and the commanders who took over were also killed one after another) did not use his numerical advantage to attack Zhang Wei's side.

Because he knew very well that the remaining three privateers could rely on their flexibility and speed to escape from the battlefield. Rather than forcing them to flee and being unable to salvage the people who fell into the water, which would then become a mortal enemy, it would be better to do them a favor and let both sides rescue each other.

What's more, their strategic goal has been achieved, the target flagship has been destroyed, and in the battle just now, they found that the three suspected damaged warships were more likely to be carrying valuables.

Since the valuables have sunk to the bottom of the sea, it can be said that Zhang Wei's side has been prevented from growing stronger.

As for the subsequent verbal lawsuit, let those who are good at talking handle it.
