Chapter 77 Fortress

The more north the ship goes, the more intense the cannon sounds.

For experts, you can hear the difference when you hear the rock blocks on the shore.

There is no doubt that 80% of the banner officials of the Nanyang Military Palace are experts in playing artillery. These people used the most in the martial arts lecture hall for two and a half years. However, they were used to playing artillery in the Ming Dynasty, and they didn’t know any artillery when they went to sea.

The cannons two miles away can only be regarded as appetizers. The real firepower of this fortress built by the Portuguese man for Mang Yinglong depends on four or five hundred steps.

The Portuguese influenced Myanmar only to the extent that the female walls mixed with Song and Yuan craftsmanship and local Buddhist styles were the most erected.

The Shiqi fleet approached the coast four hundred steps, and the fortress was blooming. For a moment, gunfire smoke filled the sound of cannons, and hundreds of various artillery bombarded with all their strength, hitting the coast like hail from the sky, with large waves splashing on the bow.

The open cannon was divided into two stages: no Fran aircraft and there were Fran aircraft. In the era of no Fran aircraft, there were a large number of local cannons. In the Hongwu period, the number of artillery was the largest, and the most flowed into the surrounding countries was also the same, such as poisonous tigers, tiger squats, bowl mouths, fire, generals, second generals, and third generals, there were both strange poisonous cannons and generals with powerful cannons.

However, because the years of being a gun are mostly too early, the shape of this batch of guns is somewhat flawed, or the gun wall is too thin and easy to explode, or the gun body is too thick and waste materials, it is hard to say that it is perfect.

After the war exchanges during the Jiajing period caused the state to manufacture Franchise machines in large quantities. The emergence of Franchise machines was not unusual. Just like the later Red and Barbarian cannons, the key to the artillery making process brought to the Ming Dynasty was not a cannon or a form, but a completely different angle in design, opening a skylight for the Ming people.

At this point, the open cannon has entered the era when everything can be used for the Francisco.

Shi Qi narrowed his eyes, waved his right flag, and twenty-five warships turned to the right on the sea surface, and slowly swam toward the fortress with the fierce port lined up with cannons.

One general and one style. Chen Mu likes to sway the cannon at four or five hundred steps, while Shiqi prefers to have a safer 300 steps. Therefore, it is not the best range in his eyes now, but it can only be said.

The shells hit the bow of the ship with a roar, causing the sound of wood slags embedded in the hull to shatter, and it was like raining projectiles sprinkling in the front of the ship. Shiqi knew very well that it was the power of the hundred-screw cannon and the tiger squat and spraying the scattered. This was possible that the flag army on the ship was hit by the enemy cannon, but direct shots would mostly be blocked by the big cards set up on the side of the ship.

At the end of the strong crossbow, it cannot enter the silken silk in Lu; at the decline of the wind, it cannot develop feathers.

It will be different if it moves forward. The projectiles that are shot will cross the board and hit the flag army.

Another sound of shells bombarding the boat boards. With the sound of puffing, most of the scalpers were blocked by the gangway boards, and some were exclaiming that a large shell smashed the big one and rolled straight on the deck. The cannons such as bowl-mouth cannons could not stop anything at this distance unless they hit the boat boards more than one foot thick.

"Steel gun correction!"

The ship's guns were pushed hard by the gunner on the deck. The iron winch on the gun was the same as the land field guns. They can be adjusted up and down and cannot move left and right. There are wooden wheels in front of the square wooden guns and there is no wheel behind them. If you want to move left and right, the gunner needs to lift the tail and drag it to move, which is very difficult.

The new ship deck that is being made by shipyards in Xinhui, Xiangshan, is using deck wooden rails to preset the cannon movement angle to offset the back seat and reduce the difficulty of movement.

But the old-school generals like Shao Tingda obviously would not use that structure too early.

The situation was much better than Shiqi imagined. He stood in the stern building and gritted his teeth. The naval general was not good. The scriptures were clearly written. No matter when, even if the ship was about to sink, the main general on the ship would stand in a fearless manner, standing until the enemy ship sank or was killed by flying shells.

The generals stood, and the flag officers also had to stand. Only when the flag officers stood were scared by artillery wars and slowly crawled on the deck and captured them back to the combat position.

There is a stone village at the mouth of Sancha River and seven artillery towers in the bay, with only nearly a hundred large and small artillery guns.

Among them, there are very few artillery guns that can kill his subordinates at this distance. In fact, the number of artillery guns is definitely not small. It is more artillery guns than the 50-mile defense line along the Great Wall of the Northern Frontier of the Ming Dynasty. It is just that the warships of the Nanyang Army are not enough to see the size or number of artillery guns.

The fleet, which was baptized by two rounds of artillery fire, finally set up its formation to calibrate the artillery position. Under the command of the general's command, fourteen generals Zhenshuo, who were on the port side of the general's ship, roared.

"put!"

The small flag officer standing at the bow of the ship waved his sword, and the cannons roared from front to back, and large pieces of gunpowder burst out on the sea. Following the twenty-four large and small warships, the big guns were General Zhenshuo, the small guns were two kilograms, the most were twelve, and the least were five guns fired together. The huge sound of nearly two hundred guns exploded one after another, and the sound of the shells weighing 760 kilograms was like thunder, roaring at the fortress.

For a moment, stone chips were flying in the fortress's female walls, and half of the fortress' flags were broken by shells like autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. The soldiers on the city ran around, and nearly half of the cannons were rushing out in a hurry.

This fortress to defend the pirates was not their opponent. It was suppressed by artillery fire in just one round of volleys. Shiqi immediately ordered the fleet to be divided into two groups, and the left and right alternated rounds of fire.

Deng Zilong, holding a telescope, could see clearly from the rear that the artillery fire in Baigu Fortress was very loud, but it could break the Shiqi fleet, even the smallest 200-foot shark boat boards would have to be hit by a blind cat to meet a dead mouse.

The same is that the artillery of Shiqi fleet was so loud, but there were not many cannons that could break the stone wall in this round of volleys, and even fewer can kill and injure the enemy. He curled his lips and said, "Just suppressing, there are no thirty numbers to kill and injure the enemy."

But that's enough. The mission of the Shiqi fleet is to harass and suppress. As long as the enemy's shore defense artillery can be cut off nearly half of the enemy's shore defense artillery and the artillery fire is not dense, the suicide flag army that captured Shizhai can rush to the shore of Shanghai.

"We need to have bigger cannons. Write it down and report it to Chen Shuai when we go back. We need to cast bigger cannons and destroy the stone village."

As he said that, the sound of the Yuyin drums roared, and the Central Army led by the Chihai Ship forward to join the artillery battle. At the same time, Shao Tingda's troops were ordered to die in the gap between the cannons and attack Shizhai on a lucky ship.

The Great Fu Ship sailed through the wind and waves, and was divided into three teams behind the Shiqi formation, with three lucky ships one team, advancing from the left, middle and right of the battlefield. In an instant, the lucky ship that Shao Tingda was riding was flush with his ship.

When the ship was wrong, Shao Tingdayang, who had put on the brass divine armor, held a bundle of bamboo tubes in his left hand, raised his right hand and waved forward.

Then General Manghu threw the bamboo tube with the twisted zipper to Yanger, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Prepare to land and overturn this stone city!"

roar!

The Fuchuan Knife and Axeman was full of morale, but the enemy was prepared for it. Several large Myanmar ships slowly sailed out of the Sancha River, and large tiny oil flowed out of the stern of the ship, and rushed towards the Shiqi fleet. Although they were shattered by the ship's shells halfway, tiny oil was floating everywhere in the coast in front of Shao Tingda.

Then, a few torches were thrown out from the fortress.

boom!
