Chapter 296 Fighting!
Chapter 296: Just bomb!
Zhou Zhengyu personally waved the flag and ordered three Cangshan boats to line up and prepare for volleys. Because there was no modern communication attack, the flag became the most basic communication method. Of course, there was still a big difference between the flags at this time and the flag words of later generations. However, it was enough to deal with the current naval battles.
After receiving the order, the three Cangshan ships gradually adjusted their queues, and they also lined up in a straight line, aiming at the enemy with their port side. Because there was no data adjustment, the flag could not spread data, so the order given by Zhou Zhengyu could only require three Cangshan ships to concentrate all the artillery and fire at the No. 2 Fu Ship in the middle.
The shelling seemed to stop in an instant.
The sea surface calmed down quickly.
Very strange calm.
Experienced people know that this kind of calm is for a more violent outbreak. During this peaceful period, all the gunners were busy cleaning the barrel, preparing different types of shells, checking the fuses, and preparing for all rapid firing. At the same time, during this peaceful period, the ships of both sides were heading south. During the driving process, the distance between both sides was constantly shortened.
The real damage of naval battles is actually between 30 and 60 feet, that is, between 100 and 200 meters. In the famous Trafalgar naval battle in later generations, the firing distance between the fleets of both sides was basically within 100 meters, which can be said to be from the knife to the flesh and the fist to the bone. Each shell causes strong damage to the enemy.
In the end, the British fleet won, and Admiral Nelson was also hit by the opponent's smoothbore gun bullet and passed away. The battle developed to the point where even the smoothbore gun could kill the opponent. It can be seen that the distance between the two sides is constantly shortening, just to better shell the opponent.
Soon, the distance between the two sides was shortened to only about 500 meters.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
The Dengzhou Navy's lucky ship fired first.
At this distance, the power of solid bullets can be fully utilized. Of course, the hit rate is still a bit low. However, the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy did not dare to let the enemy ships get too close. According to their daily experience, what pirates are best at is hand-to-hand combat. The pirates' jump gang are still very powerful. If the distance is too close, if the opponent takes advantage of loopholes, it is easy to have hand-to-hand combat. To be honest, the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy did not like cruel hand-to-hand combat... There were too many deaths.
The volley formation was indeed powerful.
Continuous shells swept across the sea, making harsh sounds.
"Puo! Puo! Puo!"
A series of shells fell on the sea, splashing rows of high water columns.
The nearby sea surface was as if it was stirred by monsters, and it kept rolling. The waves continued to surge around, and before the waves in front had dissipated, the waves behind it surged up. Even Zhang Zhun and others in the distance could feel the shaking of the flagship. It is conceivable how much the three Cangshan ships would shake at this moment.
Not hit.
It is usually impossible to hit the first round of volleys. However, after appropriate adjustments are made based on the first round of volleys, the chance of hit the second round of volleys is very high. In fact, this is true. The gunners of the Dengzhou Navy quickly adjusted the direction and angle of the shooting according to the landing point of the shells, and also improved the number of charges.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
At this moment, three Cangshan boats also shot volleys.
The sound of cannons was a little weird, as if something had cut through the sky.
Zhang Zhun, who came behind, suddenly made a judgment.
This is the sound of the chain popping out of the bore.
Cangshan ship volley chain bullet!
These guys are really powerful. They can shoot chain bombs at such a long distance. The Dengzhou navy must be frightened by them. The power of the chain bomb is impossible to compare with the solid bombs. As long as they hit the opponent's boat, it will definitely be enough for the other party to eat a pot.
"Smack!"
Sure enough, a strange tearing sound came from the top of the lucky ship.
Zhang Zhun had already raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and observed carefully.
Obviously, the largest lucky ship was hit by a chain bounce. A section of guardrail near the bow of the deck was broken by a chain bounce, and there were splashing wood chips everywhere. Blood could be clearly seen. Only the corpse on the lower body disappeared from the upper body. Perhaps the corpse on the upper body was swept directly into the sea by the chain bounce. A long list of gaps appeared where the chain bounce passed.
Due to the damage caused by the chain bomb, the mast and the Ming sailors near the mast looked at the place where the chain bomb was smashed in horror, and were quite confused and at a loss. The power of the chain bomb was indeed extraordinary. It would be better if they were not hit, but if they were hit, it would definitely be a tragedy on earth.
In fact, even if the chain bomb swept through him, it would cause a huge shock to the enemy. To be honest, how many people are not afraid of such cruel weapons? Sun Qinkai is really a talent given to him by God! It is not an exaggeration to give him any reward.
"Chain bullet!"
Guo Lin screamed in shock.
For a moment, he felt a chill rising behind his back. He was anxious, angry, a little scared, and a little busy. There seemed to be many thoughts flashing through his mind, but it seemed to be blank. He felt that his consciousness was definitely not enough.
Can these chain bullets of mosquito ships hit so far? Aren’t ordinary chain bullets only about seventy or eighty feet? The distance is at least one hundred and fifty feet now! The enemy ship actually hit the chain bullets on its own ship! Damn, the enemy’s chain bullets on its own ship actually hit its own ship!
What's going on?
What the hell is going on?
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
Before Guo Lin could get the key points, the Cangshan boat continued to fire again.
At this moment, the sound of cannons seemed much more terrifying than before.
"not good!"
Thinking of the power of the chain bullet, Guo Lin couldn't help but bent down.
If he had a solid bullet, he had enough courage to continue standing here. After all, the hit rate of the solid bullet was too low. If he was unfortunately hit by the solid bullet, it only means that his luck was too bad. However, Guo Lin did not have such courage in front of the chain bullet. If the chain bullet passed through his waist, he could cut all his body and armor into two sections.
The second round of chain blasts hit him, and Guo Lin estimated that his warship might have to be hit one or two more rounds. However, as long as the chain blasts are not hit directly, the problem will not be very big for the time being. The key is, just don’t hit the person. The ship comes with carpenters and a large amount of animal skins and wood. Generally, losses can be repaired in time.
However, he still guessed it was wrong.
What hit this round was not chain bullets, but grape bullets!
In terms of hit rate, the grape bullets that are like flowers in the sky are obviously easier to hit the target. Therefore, Cheng Lei and others decisively changed to the grape bullets. To put it in a matter of figurative way, this weapon is a bunch of hail, which is overwhelming and has no way to avoid it. The only thing that can be done is to seek blessings for oneself, and God bless you to let yourself survive this disaster.
"Bang bang bang!"
Sure enough, when the bullet rain fell, the blessing ship made a series of sounds, which seemed like a wave of hail. For a moment, many black iron eggs embedded in wooden boards appeared on the deck, and some iron eggs rolled drippingly on the deck.
Grape bullets are actually a bunch of iron eggs, each about the size of a thumb. This thing is not big or small. If you throw it with your hands and directly hit the other person's head, you may not be able to kill the other person. However, once it is blasted out of the cannon barrel, it will be very lethal. If it is hit, it will definitely be deadly! There is a hole in your body, that is certain.
What's more, basically, only one of this thing hits the target, often two or three, three or four, or even five or six, and directly beats people into meat sauce. Because there are often hundreds of such iron balls in the grape bullets that are bombarded with one shot. People in later generations know how powerful they are if they have used a shotgun or used a sand gun to hit birds.
"ah!"
The sailor's screams continued to sound.
Obviously, some sailors were hit. Their screams before death were shrill and short. They were like ducks screaming, and their throats were suddenly cut off by a sharp blade. Tiedanzi's power was too great, and their screams had just been heard and stopped abruptly.
Guo Lin turned his head and looked in the direction of screaming, and he couldn't help but take a breath. It was the first time he had been a soldier in the navy for decades, and he had seen such a tragic scene.
Too scary.
It's really terrible.
The soldier who was hit by the grape bullet was almost shattered all over his body, and all his internal organs were flowing out. Blood flowed along the deck, like a stream. His head was even more smashed, as if it was a watermelon with a spoon of red and white, all of them came out.
"puff!"
Suddenly, a sailboat caught his hand directly from the mast and hit Guo Lin. When he hit the deck, his body seemed to be bowed, and later it slowly pressed down flat, and finally there was no movement at all.
In fact, this sailboat was beaten to death when it fell down. Tiedanzi penetrated many parts of his body. When he fell down, it was already empty. The man fell down, and the blood was still floating in the air. The man fell on the deck, and the blood fell on the man's body, and it poured all over the ground.
Guo Lin turned his head and looked around and found that there were several corpses of sailors lying down on the deck around him. Each sailor looked terrible. If the grape bullet was not hit, it would be a group of dead or injured. Guo Lin wanted to thank God for his favor. He was nearby and was not hit by the splashed iron ball.
In fact, the psychological pressure caused by grape bombs to the enemy is the greatest. It is extremely easy to cause the other party's morale to collapse. In front of the overwhelming iron balls, no kind of armor can resist it. The only thing that can bless you is God. The question is, is God busy at the same time so many people pray for God's blessing at the same time?
Even Guo Lin couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
However, it was not Guo Lin's turn to think about it, and the Cangshan boat fired again.
Or grape bomb!
More and more ferocious grape bombs!
More and more ferocious grape bombs!
As the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, Cheng Lei and others rushed to fire grape bombs. They stuffed bags of iron balls into the barrel of the gun and continued to bombard them. In fact, they could not see the miserable situation of the sailors on the enemy ship being hit, and they did not have time to observe carefully. However, watching the strings of iron balls falling on the enemy ship like hail, they could speculate that the scene must be very exciting. Since the scene is exciting, they should continue.
Of course, most of the grape bombs actually fell on the water surface. After all, there were a few of them hitting the deck. A series of grape bombs fell near the Fu Ship again, splashing countless water splashes. The iron eggs were too small to only splash water splashes and could not splash water columns. Occasionally, grape bombs also hit the sidewalk.
In fact, the damage caused by the grape bomb to the hull of the lucky ship itself is not very great. Even if the mast is hit directly, at most, there is an additional concave nest on it, which will not break the mast. The key is that the launch of the grape bomb affects the operation of the sailor. To be honest, in the face of the threat of the grape bomb, which sailor can be calm and unafraid?
"Grape bomb!"
"Damn grape bomb!"
"We also fire grape bombs!"
Guo Lin's face was ferocious and screamed fiercely.
The enemy ships used grape bombs to cause huge losses to themselves and caused some panic. Of course, Guo Lin could not bear it. They were originally here to bully Zhang Zhun, but they didn't expect that they would be bullied by Zhang Zhun in turn. How could they bear this? Where did this put the face of Dengzhou Navy? Don't think that only you have grape bombs, we have too! Our grape bombs are more than you!
"Sir, the target is outside our range..."
Mr. Qian said stammeringly with sweat on his face.
When the Dengzhou Navy's own artillery cannons can only be fired at most eighty feet away. If this distance exceeds this, it will be a waste of ammunition. Now, the enemy ships are all 150 feet away, and they can't reach the other side at all.
"I don't care!"
"I order you to fire grape bombs immediately!"
"The enemy's grape bombs can hit so far, why can't ours?"
Guo Lin waved his waist and screamed with gritting his teeth.
Chapter completed!
