Zhou Yu stared at the ship that was hit.

No one in Jiangdong has ever seen artillery in fact, but it does not hinder human instinct for danger. Many people subconsciously hide behind bunkers, or simply jump into the ship to escape. The Jiangdong ship around the hit ship was also turning to escape in panic. Even the Jiangdong soldiers who escaped in the water were struggling to stay away from the artillery.

Zhou Yu slowly exhaled and calmed himself down. After all, Zhou Yu was a veteran of all kinds of battles. Even if he was facing a new thing, after a brief loss of consciousness, he would immediately put reason in a high position again.

As the commander, Zhou Yu knew very well that if he was panicking, then what would happen to ordinary soldiers and armors be even more conceivable. Although Zhou Yu, like ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, faced new weapons and did not have much experience in this area, this required him to calm down and stabilize Jiangdong's morale.

Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and stared at it, and then he found that not all Sichuan and Shu ships had artillery on them.

If this is true, then he doesn't have to fight anymore and just orders the withdrawal of troops.

Zhou Yu saw that there were only artillery on the tower ship, and there was only one at the head of the ship.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang.

However, this time, he did not successfully hit the deck or side of the Jiangdong Navy ship, but hit the upper wooden building of the Jiangdong ship, smashing half of the wooden wall. It looked quite miserable, but in fact it had little impact on the ship's navigation ability.

Zhou Yu nodded, and he knew a little bit in his heart.

Although this thing is powerful, its launch speed is not fast, and its accuracy is not so accurate. The first shot hit the hull deck directly and destroyed a Jiangdong Dou Ship, but it was just a coincidence.

"See?!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly, letting the soldiers and military academy around him regain their fighting spirit. "Not every time you can shoot! And if you are shot, you won't be sunk in the ship!"

The facts were right in front of him. Seeing that Zhou Yu was calm and calm, the soldiers in Jiangdong also recovered some morale.

"Send the order! Avoid the head of the ship in Sichuan and Shulou! Cruise up from both sides!"

Zhou Yu gave the order and sneered, "Is this forcing me to surround the two wings and then give up the middle lane? That's just right!"

...

...

When they saw the Jiangdong Navy ships being hit, damaged, or even overturned, they cheered together.

For a moment, the sound of cavalry victories was endless.

I have to say that Zhuge Liang is versatile.

He cooperated with the craftsmen to solve many problems in how artillery cannons are erected on ships.

Although these problems are also being studied in Guanzhong, they cannot be shared in real time for the man who has inconvenient information transmission. Therefore, even if Guanzhong has made any progress, Sichuan and Shu may not be able to know. Without Zhuge Liang's assistance and solving many problems in actual lifting and installation projects, there will be no roar of artillery that shocked Jiangdong now.

In fact, in this era, the power of artillery was not as powerful as that of a large catapult.

The stone bullets of large catapults are often several times or more than ten times the weight of artillery shells, so the destructive power it brings is naturally much greater than that of artillery. After all, artillery is subject to more binding force by production technology, and as long as there are giant trees, the bigger the tree can be...

If you want to make heavy artillery, the artillery itself will be so bulky that it is difficult to maneuver, and there is not so much metal used to cast heavy artillery artillery in large quantities.

Just like the cannons pressed on the building ships now, they are actually small cannons.

The only advantage is that the accuracy of the artillery and the attack frequency will be better than those of large catapults.

Moreover, the large catapults are used to deal with fixed objects and solid mixed earth city walls. Now, no matter from which angle you look at, one ship on the water is counted as one. Even if it is equipped with iron armor and hit the corners, it still cannot withstand the bombardment of the artillery at a close range.

Therefore, under the bombardment of the Sichuan and Shu army artillery, several fighting ships of the Jiangdong Army that tried to approach the Sichuan and Shu tower ships were either sunk or injured. In a short while, the entire Jiangdong Army's offensive was interrupted...

But soon, new instructions came from the rear of the Jiangdong Army.

The Jiangdong Army, who received the new order, threw down the damaged and even sunken fighting ships and began to change their formation.

Xu Huang stood on the top of the building and looked left and right, "Kong Ming, Jiangdong really made way out of the middle!"

『This cannon is indeed powerful!』 Xu Huang slapped his hands, 『Now I know what the cavalry said, "The ship is strong and the cannon is powerful, and it is invincible." It's a pity that the cannon costs a lot... If there are so many hundreds or thousands of cannons, who in the world dares to compete with the lord?!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly after hearing this, "The general said very much, but... at this moment, the Jiangdong navy has not yet come out... This Zhou Gongjin is still ready to make a backup plan..."

『There is still a backup plan?』 Xu Huang asked, 『Is Kong Ming saying that there is still a backup plan for the Jiangdong Army above this water surface?』

Previously, Zhuge Liang said that the Jiangdong Army might have sent two groups of side troops to attack, one by one, one by one, and one by one, which Xu Huang understood this point, but now Zhuge Liang said that Zhou Yu had some backup plans on the water, which made Xu Huang a little difficult to understand.

Zhuge Liang looked at the battlefield.

The soldiers have no constant momentum and the water has no fixed shape.

Maybe the little baby you took out can shock the opponent a little, but the strength of this shock is actually a big gap between the upper and lower limits...

It’s like some people think they are big, but maybe they just cooperate with others. Oh oh oh um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um

After all, these days, more and more people have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers.

The artillery is heavy, and the structure and size of the ship are not quickly and automatically adapted because of the appearance of the artillery. Although the cannons are roaring and majestic, it is not completely without any problems.

From Guanzhong, the artillery transported from thousands of miles away were not large.

Even if you are too big, you won't be lucky.

Now this small artillery can deal a heavy blow to the Jiangdong Army, mainly because of the suppression of the material.

It was like bronze suppressing obsidian, and black iron suppressing bronze.

Jin Kemu.

This is the wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years.

However, the current artillery architecture is not perfect.

First of all, the artillery was set on the bow of the ship, replacing the original position of the eight-bed three-gun crossbow, but the weight was much larger than the crossbow, which forced the tower ship to add some ballast to the stern to maintain the balance between the head and tail. Secondly, the center of gravity of the artillery on the midline is obviously not as stable as the center of gravity distributed between the two wings. In rivers, lakes and seas, there may be no big problem, but if the wind and waves are stronger, this disadvantage may cause the ship to capsize.

Another important point is that the artillery is now semi-exposed. Although it can give the Jiangdong Army a very direct visual shock, the same gunners and craftsmen who operate the artillery may be under great threat.

These all require further improvements, and improvements require time, materials, and even more redesign, and a new building and ship structure that can cooperate with the artillery.

So now there are sharp weapons, but other things are not matched. Just like during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the six kingdoms also created several peerless swords, but they could not defeat the Qin State, which was still using bronzes on a large scale.

Zhuge Liang watched the Jiangdong naval army begin to spread to the two wings and exposed Zhou Yu's midfield, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Zhou Gongjin, it's really... If someone expected it, he was just using his plan..."
