Daming pirates

After Xiaotian said these words, it already meant that he was determined to capture Nangantang. None of his subordinates had any objections to his decision. After all, they had just experienced a big battle.

Victory, their morale and self-confidence were already at an all-time high. Facing the small Nangantang, they really weren't too afraid of this bastard.

In the next day, the only two Hongyi cannons in Yu Xiaotian's hands were mounted on the bows of the two strongest Fu ships. The muzzles of the cannons were aimed at those in the bay and began to bombard them.

These two Hongyi cannons were obtained by the Shark Gang when they defeated the official army. The cannons are nearly two meters long and have a caliber of more than 100 millimeters. If compared with Western artillery, they should be roughly regarded as eight-pound cannons and weigh about 800.

Jin, if compared with the current Western naval guns, these two cannons can only be regarded as small things, but now they are already a big killer for pirates like them!

The Shark Gang had previously placed these two cannons in the water fortress on the island for use, but Yu Xiaotian felt that this was a waste of treasure, so he ordered the two cannons to be placed on his and Wang Hong's boat.

At the same time, the deck at the bow of the ship was reinforced to prevent the deck from being shattered by the recoil when the cannon was fired. Only then did the two guns get on board.

During the battle on Dongch Island, these two cannons played a good role. They were not only accurate, but also ruthless. As long as they hit the enemy ship, they could at least make a big hole in the enemy ship. However, the battlefield was chaotic at that time.

No one paid much attention to the role played by these two cannons.

Now Yu Xiaotian ordered the two cannons to fire in turn, and he did not hesitate to use all the reserved shells to bombard Hun Jianglong's ship in the bay.

The gunners of the two cannons became busy now, using up all their energy, constantly loading, firing, and reloading the two cannons...

The distance between the outside of the bay and the inside of the bay is about 100 meters. At this distance, other old Ming Dynasty artillery can't hit the inside of the bay at all, but the range of these two Hongyi cannons is no problem.

After Yu Xiaotian's actual inspection on Nanri Island, if the two guns use ordinary powdered gunpowder, the longest range is about two miles. When using good quality granular gunpowder, the range can be increased to more than three miles.

That is, a distance of 1.5 kilometers, but it is far less than the distance of ten miles that Ming Dynasty officials boasted in history.

But to deal with the Hunjianglong ships hiding in the bay, such a range is not a big problem, and the Hongyi cannons are equipped with rear sights and crosshairs, which provide the possibility of precise aiming and firing, but only when shooting from such a distance.

, has exceeded the effective range of these two guns, and the accuracy of the shells can no longer be guaranteed.

And now that the ship is in an unstable and swaying state, even the Hongyi cannon's accuracy is basically useless beyond four hundred meters.

Therefore, when they shelled the Hunjianglong ships outside the Wanzi, they could only make a rough estimate and could not guarantee accurate hits. This was also the rule of many Western countries in history during this era. When fighting at sea, the firing distance could not exceed

The reason for four hundred meters.

Because four hundred meters is already the time of battle at sea, and it is the farthest distance that can guarantee the hit rate.

However, Yu Xiaotian is not pursuing too high accuracy now. This kind of bombardment is still a deterrent bombardment. The purpose is just to put pressure on the Hunjianglong hiding in the bay. As for where it lands, it can't be hit.

It all depends on luck if you catch the dragon's boat.

So at the end of the day, the only two Hongyi cannons kept firing. After each cannon fired a few rounds, it had to stop to cool down. Otherwise, the cannon body would be too hot. In addition, even if the cannon body could withstand

, shells and gunpowder are also too wasteful.

At the end of the day, the two cannons did not achieve much. After all, the distance was too far. Most of the cannonballs hit the water in the bay, and only a few of the cannonballs hit the ships in the bay.

But even so, it frightened Hun Jianglong and his men. They had never expected that such a powerful weapon in Yu Xiaotian's hands could actually shoot down cannonballs from such a long distance.

Hit their ship.

So they realized that Yu Xiaotian must have a Hongyi cannon in his hand. Everyone must know what it feels like to be beaten like this but not be able to fight back. Everyone on Hunjianglong's side is dying of grievance, for fear of the next moment.

There were shells falling on their heads.

If a person dies suddenly, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, if a person is under high pressure for a long time and does not know whether he will die in the next moment, this feeling can make people crazy.

Hun Jianglong claims to be a hero on the sea, and his psychological quality should be relatively good, but he cannot guarantee that the psychological quality of his men is as good as his. After one day, the morale of his men has completely dropped to the bottom of their pants.

Most people hid in the cabin, holding their heads like ostriches and being beaten. No one was interested in watching the Sea Wolf ships outside on the deck.

After nightfall, Hun Jianglong found that his men were no longer useful. He issued orders, but basically no one carried them out. The bay became lifeless. Even the cooks were no longer interested in cooking. Almost everyone

They all sit or lie down with dull eyes, and they can't even feel hunger anymore.

After finally getting through the night, someone under Hun Jianglong persuaded Chen Jiu to accept Yu Xiaotian's conditions. They didn't need money now, as long as they could leave here.

However, the person who tried to persuade him was immediately chopped down by Hun Jianglong angrily. The others were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything more. In the morning, someone suddenly shouted to Hun Jianglong: "Master.

Look, their ship is about to dock!"

Hun Jianglong was shocked, and rushed to the side of the ship to set up a pergola and looked out of the bay. Sure enough, several sea wolf boats had arrived at the southeast corner of the bay at some point. When they found out, these

The sampans were put down on the boats, and many people crowded into the sampans and were paddling hard towards the shore.

Hun Jianglong's heart suddenly sank, and before he could turn around, he shouted: "Quick, send people to stop them! We can't let them go ashore. I'll fire on every ship to stop them! Quick!"

Hun Jianglong was very aware of his situation at this moment. Although he had a village on the island, he could not control all the places. Once these Sea Wolf people were allowed to go ashore, they would only need to seize a place on the shore and get out of the boat.

After unloading the two Hongyi cannons, without too much effort, the boats in the bay can be beaten to ashes.

At first, he thought that Yu Hailang was just firing cannons into the bay just to put pressure on him and to force him to agree to the conditions he proposed. But now that he saw such a scene, he no longer thought so.

Yu Hailang has made it clear that he wants to drive him away and kill him!

So he did not dare to be negligent, and quickly sent people to disembark from each ship. In addition, he also mobilized dozens of people who were guarding the village in the village, and rushed to the place where Sea Wolf was trying to land, trying to gain a foothold in Sea Wolf's future.

Before it stabilizes, knock these guys back into the sea.

However, Hun Jianglong's movements were still a little slow, and they discovered it a little late. After they gathered their men, a hundred sea wolf tribesmen had already disembarked from the sampan, landed on the coast, and began to line up on the beach.

Head towards the shore.

Several boats in the bay also started to move, trying to bombard the sea wolves who had landed. However, after they adjusted the boats, they found that the sea wolves were very cunning and chose to

The place they landed was beyond the range of their artillery. If they wanted to fire cannons, they would have to go to the mouth of the bay. But in that case, they would put themselves under the noses of a large group of sea wolves outside, and become a target for others.

gun target.

Therefore, Hun Jianglong and his men on the boat in the bay could only stare, but did not dare to move towards the mouth of the bay. They could only watch helplessly as these Sea Wolf tribesmen safely arrived on the island and landed on the shore.

The array is opened on the edge.

However, several of Sea Wolf's ships were on the sea behind them, very close to the seashore. The cannons on the ships could just reach the shore, and they could fire directly to bombard the shore.

At this time, a close subordinate of Hun Jianglong also rushed to the shore with one or two hundred people. He stopped at a distance and looked at the sea wolves on the shore.

They looked up and found that these Sea Wolf tribesmen were different from the Sea Wolf tribesmen on other ships. Everyone was wearing a thick leather armor made of unknown leather. Some of them were holding

They held a leather shield, and some of them held spears, but more of them held muskets, and more than twenty of them could tell at a glance that they were holding blunderbuss.

The quality of such equipment makes people a little worried, because even the officers and soldiers may not be much better than their equipment, or even worse than their equipment quality.

It's not that these Hunjianglong's subordinates can't understand. In fact, the hundred or so Sea Wolf tribesmen who came ashore are the soldiers specially selected by Yu Xiaotian. These people are not fixed on a certain ship, and they usually don't participate much in the battle.

During the training on the ship, the main time was spent on Nanri Island, where he received training on land combat with Li Dazui.

Yu Xiaotian paid great attention to these people and took out most of the fire guns, bird guns and other firearms he had on hand and gave them to them for use. Therefore, the amount of firearms and equipment for these people was close to more than 30% of the total number of people, and the remaining people

They were all equipped with swords, guns, and shields, and they were not individually equipped with crossbows and other items.

At the beginning, these people were all undergoing land training on Nanri Island all day long. This time Yu Xiaotian brought people to Dongchi Island to fight against Hunjianglong, and also brought them over. However, during the naval battle, these people

They all stayed on Dongchi Island. It was not until Yu Xiaotian led his fleet to defeat Hun Jianglong at sea that he sent people to Dongchi Island to transfer them over.

They came over on several captured ships, so they arrived relatively late. Yu Xiaotian asked them to come as a backup. If they failed, he would let them act as a vanguard and go up to Nangantang to fight against Hun Jianglong's men on the island.

Capture Hun Jianglong's village on the island.

I didn't expect that these guys would be used this time. I had to order Li Dazui, the current captain of the combat team, and Meng Fei, the deputy captain, to be very excited. When they took the boat, they sneakily approached the coast and suddenly put down the boats.

The sampan rushed to Nanri Island with people.

(I still want to thank brother stdx for the reward!)
