Daming pirates

What made Yu Xiaotian a little disappointed was that this guy was really too small. He couldn't help but bend down and lift the 4-Flang gun out of the box with one hand. He then raised it up to look at the barrel.

The inner diameter of the gun barrel is only about four to five centimeters, and the wall of the gun is relatively thin. Obviously it cannot withstand too much chamber pressure, but this is also related to the performance of weapons such as the French cannon.

This guy belongs to the rapid-fire cannon of this era. What he pursues is not the range and power, but the rate of fire. Coupled with the level of processing technology of this era, it can be produced without the help of high-precision modern machinery, such as lathes, milling machines, and boring machines.

The combination of the produced child gun and the mother gun will not be very tight, and there will be a relatively large gap between them. The inner diameter of the mother gun may also be a little larger than that of the child gun, which will inevitably cause deflation.

Therefore, the barrel pressure of the mother gun cannot be very high, and the barrel wall naturally does not need to bear too much pressure. It can be used if it is thinner. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for this thing to become a big killer in naval battles.

"Brother, this guy weighs eighty kilograms. There should have been nine muskets, but when I got it, there were only six left. Last year, I accidentally broke another one, leaving five.

indivual!

It turns out that this guy belongs to the army. Didn’t the army come to attack our Nanri Island in the first two years? Later, our brothers worked together to defeat the army and captured many of them. This Franchise is

Brother, I led someone to capture it back then!

Now I still have one on the boat. I can no longer use this Flange machine, so I’ll give it to you guys! Maybe it will be used this time. You send someone to push this guy to the boat quickly. I will send someone later.

I'll teach you how to play with this thing!

This guy seems to be useful, but if you are not careful, you will also hurt your own people, so you have to ask your men to be careful!"

Wang Hong proudly pointed at the French machine and said to Xiaotian.

After Yu Xiaotian read it, he was a little disappointed, but then he thought about it, this thing is better than nothing. Although it is a little small, the several hundred gun guns and bowl-mouth gun guns he has on hand are not much better.

Go, the biggest advantage of this kind of Furniture machine is its fast firing rate. It can fire several shots in a short period of time. In close combat, it can effectively suppress the vitality of the opponent's ship.

Moreover, Wang Hong also sincerely wanted to help him and improve his strength. He understood this, so he quickly put down the machine again and turned around to thank Wang Hong and Fang An.

At this moment, Fang An looked surprised, because just now Yu Xiaotian easily lifted the Franc machine out of the box with one hand, as if it took no effort at all.

You must know that although this Flange machine is not too heavy, it is at least more than 80 kilograms. It is okay for two people to carry it, but it is difficult for one person to carry it. However, Yu Xiaotian acted like nothing was wrong and lifted it with one hand.

, it can be seen that Yu Xiaotian's arm strength is amazing, this hand alone is enough to surprise people, so Fang An did not dare to underestimate Yu Xiaotian anymore, and nodded involuntarily.

"Brother, you don't have to be polite to me. You and I will be members of the same family from now on, and we have to do things together. Brothers don't need this thing right now, so it's better to leave it alone. It's better to give it to me! Hurry up, this time we are going to follow

Hun Jianglong is ready to go on a big fight, and we can’t delay here any longer! Bring us the wine and meat here quickly. After we finish eating, we can take a short rest and then leave quickly!

Our boss has ordered us to meet at West Dog Island before dark the day after tomorrow. If we are late, we won’t be able to tell you!" Wang Hong said carelessly.

Yu Xiaotian quickly asked people to prepare wine and food, and ordered the cook to stew large pieces of whale meat, serve it in a pot, and send it outside the village so that Wang Hong's men could eat it.

"Master Yu! When we landed just now, we saw the skeleton of a whale on the shore. Did it wash up on the shore by itself? You must be lucky this time and take the opportunity to cut a lot of whale meat!" Fang An

At this time, he took the initiative to ask Xiaotian.

Yu Xiaotian smiled and replied: "This can't all be attributed to our good luck! This whale was caught by my brother and me a few days ago when I took people out to sea, and it was not washed ashore on its own! It did get a lot of whale meat!"

Today you and Brother Wang are here, and you want to try something new by the way! I will send someone to send some to your boat later, so that the brothers can have enough food and have the strength to work!"

After hearing what Yu Xiaotian said, both Wang Hong and Fang An were shocked again. Before Fang An could say anything, Wang Hong shouted: "Brother, aren't you out of your mind? How dare you do this? So

How did you catch such a big whale? Are you crazy?"

Yu Xiaotian didn't want them to know too much about whaling, so he shook his head and said, "It's a coincidence! Brother Wang, you also know that my brother is very brave. He went to sea a few days ago and happened to encounter this whale.

Seeing such a large amount of meat made me greedy, so I led my brothers to eat it!

This thing is really powerful. It broke one of my sampans in one go. It seems to be a bit of luck. Somehow, it actually hurt its vitals! It was killed out of nowhere! It took nine

The two of them pulled it back! It’s not right to say it’s not luck, but it’s good luck! Come on, come on! Let’s taste the taste of this guy’s meat later!

Our island is no better than yours, there is nothing to entertain you, just treat it as a treat, but it is a pity that there is a lack of seasoning here, otherwise it might taste better!"

Yu Xiaotian acted carelessly and downplayed the matter, which was considered to be a fool.

But Fang An still couldn't help but exclaimed: "Before, Third Brother said that you are a powerful character in Director Yu. I still didn't believe it. Now it seems that Third Brother is right. Director Yu is really powerful! This time, I can ask Director Yu to give you

If we help, we will definitely have more chances of winning!"

Large pieces of whale meat were brought out in basins. Wang Hong, Fang An and their men had never seen such a meat-eating formation. Smelling the fragrant marinated whale meat, they all wanted to stretch out their hands from their throats.

He opened his belly and started chewing.

As a result, everyone, including Fang An and his men, were extremely satisfied with their visit here. They all had their mouths full of food and praised them repeatedly.

After Yu Xiaotian accompanied Wang Hong and Fang An to eat and drink, he immediately recruited Guo Fu and others to carry the French cannon to the Sea Wolf.

This French cannon is a light cannon and does not require a heavy gun mount to carry it, and its recoil is limited. It can be mounted directly on the side of the ship. It only needs a stand to mount the gun mount on the stand.

Originally, it would be better if they built an iron frame, but now they were pressed for time, so they could only ask Guo Fu to lead people to make a temporary frame out of hard wood, and put the cannon on the wooden frame. When they came back later, they could use it again.

Let Blacksmith Zhang build an iron frame.

Wang Hong also sent two of his men who knew how to use this cannon to Yu Xiaotian's ship to teach Yu Xiaotian's men how to operate this French cannon.

Even though the French cannon is very primitive, it is the most primitive breech-loaded artillery, but it is not very simple to operate. Loading the sub-gun is not difficult, but the process of placing the sub-gun in the tail of the mother gun is quite complicated.

Not simple.

The mouth of the secondary blunderbuss must be tightly integrated with the mother blunderbuss. After inserting the secondary blunderbuss, a copper vertical wedge must be used to firmly drive the secondary blunderbuss into the mother blunderbuss. Otherwise, once it is ignited and fired,

The sealing of this thing is not good, and it is very likely that fire will spray out from the joint between the child gun and the mother gun, or even backward. If you are not careful, you may injure the gunner.

Moreover, if the copper vertical wedge at the tail is not tightened firmly, when the blunderbuss fires, the mother blunderbuss may burst out. The blunderbuss are light and may injure more people if not done properly.

At the beginning, Wang Hong didn't know how to do this, and he rashly let his men fire the cannon. As a result, he injured two or three of his men, and one of his guns even exploded.

This was a lesson learned through blood, so Wang Hong repeatedly told Yu Xiaotian to be more careful.

While Wang Hong was leading people to teach Yu Xiaotian how to operate the French cannon, Fang An also followed Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf with a shy face.

After he glanced around, he became even more impressed by these sea wolves. After going to the sea, no matter what he did for so many years, he had not seen a thousand ships, at least a few hundred were more than enough, but he had never seen one.

However, any ship can be as clean and tidy as Yu Xiaotian's ship.

Looking at the entire ship, the deck has been wiped clean, and all items are neatly arranged in place. There is no messy feeling. If you reach out and touch anywhere on the ship, you can't find any dust or other dirty things.

It looks refreshing and feels very comfortable and refreshing.

When Fang An saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. Although it was early for them to go to the sea to do this business, but after seeing these sea wolves today, he knew what it means that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky. He himself

I'm sorry to have any further competition with Yu Xiaotian.

So Fang An walked behind Yu Xiaotian, took the rare opportunity to take out the iron hook in his left hand, held the iron hook in his right hand and made a fisting gesture, and said to Xiaotian: "Master Yu! Come here today, Fang Mou is convinced.

Yes! In the past, I only heard from Third Brother how you are capable, and seeing it is better than hearing it. Today, Fang Mou has learned a lesson! I hope the master can teach me, how do you manage your brothers in such an orderly manner?"

Yu Xiaotian was busy learning how to operate this French cannon. After hearing what Fang An said, he quickly turned around and said, "Brother Fang, you're welcome! Yu is just a person who likes to be clean, so he has set more rules for his brothers.

That’s all! In fact, he doesn’t have much ability, but it made Brother Fang laugh!

You all started this business much earlier than me, but I would like to ask more advice from you two brothers!

To be honest, Yu has never fought against anyone at sea until now. This time I went to help the two brothers, and I really didn’t feel confident. I hope Brother Fang will not hesitate to give me advice and protect you.

Some are!”

"You're so polite! Mr. Yu is so polite! The behavior of your brothers is beyond the control of orders. Even the officers and soldiers don't have such momentum. We still need to keep in touch in the future!" Fang An completely put away his arrogance.

As a matter of fact, he seemed much more polite in front of Yu Xiaotian.
