Daming pirates

Old Chu Cai was a little confused. He couldn't understand what terrible thing his men encountered at the gap in the village wall, so he quickly asked Master Zhou next to him: "What happened? For the Sea Wolf tribe to easily

Just repel our people?"

Master Zhou is also confused at this moment. He is not a weapons expert, he is just a person who makes a living by showing off his cleverness. He also heard a series of explosions just now, but he can't figure out what they are.

Things were exploding, and then people on their side began to disperse.

So he had no choice but to shake his head and said: "I don't know if I go back to the big shopkeeper! Maybe the sea wolf has come up with something powerful again! Our casualties are not small! That's why we were scared back!"

At this time, a close subordinate of Mr. Chu Cai came over and said tentatively: "I'd like to report to the big shopkeeper. I've heard that a kind of bamboo bomb was once used on the Sea Wolf ship. It was filled with gunpowder and stuffed."

A lot of iron nails and iron pieces were set on fire and thrown onto our boat. Many of our brothers on the boat were injured in the past! I wonder if it was this kind of explosive!

It is said that once this kind of explosive explodes, no one within a few meters will be spared. Once it hits, it will be fatal or injured. It is very powerful! Even a shield cannot stop it!"

When Chu Cai heard this, he felt that what his subordinate said made sense. Basically, he could determine what the sea wolf used to defeat his subordinates this time. He didn't feel that this kind of bomb was too powerful.

Thing, firecrackers and firecrackers have become very common at this time. This thing is actually similar to a big firecracker, but he can't figure out why such a big firecracker of Sea Wolf can actually hurt so many people?

Chu Cai couldn't figure it out. He could only watch helplessly as the fruits of victory that were about to reach his mouth suddenly disappeared into nothing. He watched as the subordinates sent in front showed signs of complete collapse.

, he hurriedly sent his cronies to rush over, and ordered all the shopkeepers to gather their men, not to retreat without authorization, and continued to launch an offensive against the Sea Wolf Dazhai in order to capture the Dazhai today.

On the other hand, he ordered someone to pass on the order to the two men who were using the Hongyi cannon, and ordered them to continue to blast at the Sea Wolf stronghold. They must destroy a few more sections of the stronghold wall. He did not believe that the Sea Wolf could withstand it.

Withstand the fierce bombardment of this Hongyi cannon.

But the people he sent rushed back immediately and told Mr. Chu Cai breathlessly that the men who said that the cannonballs did not dare to fight anymore. They had already fired many rounds of artillery shells in succession.

Their bodies were so hot that they had to let the cannon cool down before firing again. Otherwise, they were afraid that the gunpowder would be ignited as soon as it was poured into the barrel!

Chu Cai was so old-fashioned that he couldn't help it. These two red Yi cannons were his most treasured treasures. He didn't dare to be careless and let something happen to these two cannons. He had to let them rest first and wait for the barrels to cool down.

Keep firing.

But that's what he thought, but Seawolf was not idle either. The gunner of the twelve-pound long cannon had fired several shots in succession, but he failed to hit Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons.

, one of the recent shells almost passed by Chu Cailao's Hongyi cannon, but it still failed to hit it effectively.

There was also a shell that landed at a very close distance to a Hongyi cannon. If it had been replaced by an explosive grenade from later generations, this shell would have been an effective hit. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaotian has not yet done it.

Even without direct hits, hollow explosive shells and solid shells were still unable to destroy the two Hongyi cannons that posed a great threat to them.

In fact, Chu Cailao's men could see what the Sea Wolf gunners wanted to do. When a few shells landed around them, they were really nervous, but after thinking about it for a while, they relaxed again.

!

In their opinion, their location was too far away from Dazhai. Although the Sea Wolf's cannons were quite accurate, it should be impossible to hit them.

How big is the wall of Hailang Dazhai? They also use Hongyi cannons, but they lose one after another. They can't even hit the wall of Dazhai. No matter how high the level of artillery fire of Hailang's men is, they can't hit it.

I don't believe that the Sea Wolf's cannons can accurately hit their cannons. If they were a ship now, they would probably be able to hit them. But they currently only have two cannons. If they are placed on land like this

From a long distance, they are almost the size of two broad beans. It should be very difficult to hit them.

When they saw the multiple shells fired at them from Hailang Dazhai, they either flew far away and flew over their heads, or they missed the target and landed on their left and right, or they shot too close and hit in front of them. In any case, they all missed the target.

After defeating them, these old Chu Cai gunners were completely relieved now, feeling that they had nothing to worry about. They couldn't hit the location of Sea Wolf's Hongyi cannon, and presumably Sea Wolf's cannon couldn't hit it either.

They, so they boldly began to tinker with their cannons.

Seeing each shell miss the target makes people angry and anxious, but these sea wolf tribesmen who cheated on the cannon were not discouraged. They continued to reload repeatedly, constantly carefully aiming, and adjusting the muzzle direction.

"Almost done! Get out of the way! Fire the gun!" After lying on the gun mount and carefully observing it for a while, the gunner decided that the target should be about right this time, so he stepped aside and ordered the gun to fire.

The twelve-pound cannon shook violently again, then retreated far away with a bang. The shell tore through the air and drew a beautiful arc in the air, heading towards Chu Cailao's Hongyi cannon.

Flying away, the observers lay on the edge of the fort, their eyes widened, and they carefully observed their target.

Vaguely, I saw that the shell first hit a cannon about ten meters in front of the cannon, stirring up a cloud of dust in front of the target. The observer was about to sigh and report the loss to the brothers behind him.

News, but suddenly I saw that old Chu Cai's Hongyi cannon jumped up, and then fell apart, and those old Chu Cai's men surrounding the Hongyi cannon exploded at once.

Like a nest, it spreads out in all directions.

"Wow! Haha! Hahahaha! Hit! Haha, hit! This time I really hit! Hahaha..." When the observer saw this situation, he almost did a somersault on the spot out of joy.

But even so, he was still dancing and almost rolling on the ground.

When everyone heard this, they quickly looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw that one of Chu Cai Lao's cannons had fallen apart and crooked to the ground, and a group of Chu Cai Lao's men were running around like headless flies.

This time Yu Xiaotian smiled, but Chu Cailao's nose was twisted with anger again. He fired the cannon so far away from the Sea Wolf Dazhai, but he was still blown away by the Sea Wolf with their cannon.

, how accurate does it take to do this! He didn't believe that this was the skill of the Sea Wolf tribe. He insisted that he must have failed to choose the right day when he came to Nanyue Island this time, which made him suffer from bad luck.

To the gunner of the Sea Wolf, it was a bastard's luck. The blind cat bumped into a dead mouse and destroyed one of his cannons.

After questioning, his subordinates told Mr. Chu Cai that this cannon was basically completely useless. The cannonball fired from Hailang Dazhai first landed ten steps in front of the Hongyi cannon, and then hit the ground on the ground.

When it was loaded, it hit the cannon's body, overturning the cannon on the spot, smashing the gun frame, and even injuring three men surrounding the cannon.

And they just checked the barrel of this gun. Not only was there a crack on the barrel, but it also left a deep mark. The entire barrel was somewhat deformed, and it looked like it had become a shape.

Piles of scrap metal.

Chu Cai's flesh hurt like crazy, and his face was throbbing. He had spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to get these cannons from Fo Langji. There were just a few of them.

Destroy one and miss the other. He usually regarded these cannons as treasures, but he didn't expect that one of them was destroyed by the sea wolf as soon as he took it out and fired a few shots.

Chu Cai Lao was so angry that he felt a little dizzy at this moment. He wished he could kill him with his own sword, break into the sea wolf stronghold and cut Xiaotian in two, so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, Yu Xiaotian was secretly rejoicing. Today's twelve-pound long cannon really brought him a big surprise. Although he had just brought this twelve-pound cannon over to help in the battle, he had some thoughts.

This twelve-pounder cannon could kill Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons, but he knew very well that this hope was actually very slim.

The technical level of this era is here to stay. Although its cannon is cast with an iron mold and the inner bore is carefully bored. It is considered a pretty good cannon in this era, but after all, this kind of cannon has a lot of technology.

Limitation, after all, it is a front-loading smoothbore gun, and the gun bore has not been corrected by a modern boring machine. In addition, the casting accuracy of the shell and the influence of the gunpowder composition, if you want to use this gun to accurately hit such a long distance.

A cannon actually does not meet this condition.

Although the effective range and maximum range of the twelve-pounder cannon are not low, the effective range also depends on the distance and target hit.

If a twelve-pounder long gun is used to hit a target at a distance of 200 meters, the accuracy of this gun can accurately hit a target the size of the Eight Immortals Table, and the dispersion will not exceed too much. But if it is to hit a target at a distance of 400 meters,

Then the dispersion of this kind of gun will become larger, and it can only guarantee to hit a target as big as a hut. But when it is used to hit a target 800 meters away, although the range of this kind of gun is no problem,

However, the accuracy will be greatly reduced. It is considered good if it can guarantee to hit a target the size of a warehouse.

Eight hundred meters away, if you shoot a target the size of a brig on the sea from land, this kind of gun can basically guarantee a relatively accurate hit to a ship about one kilometer away. However, the target they want to hit today needs

Much smaller goals than would normally be set.

Although Chu Cai's Hongyi cannon is clumsy, it cannot be larger than a warehouse. Even the front projection area is about the same size as an Eight Immortals table.

It was indeed too difficult for the gunners to let this twelve-pound cannon hit them, so although Yu Xiaotian transferred the twelve-pound long cannon, he actually did not have high hopes for it.

I just hope it can interfere with Chu Cailao's two cannons.

But he didn't expect that the gunners of this cannon today actually gave him a huge surprise. At such a long distance, they really overturned Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon, and it could be observed from the telescope.

The gun's mount has been broken up. Chu Cailao can no longer expect the gun to fire, at least for a short period of time.
