The First Family of Tang Dynasty

When the three refitted ships had completed the loading and fixing of the artillery, Cheng Sablang led a family member of Cheng to board the three refitted gunboats.

The final preparations began, and on the other side, three of the navy's berths were too old.

Looking at the old and broken ship that makes people feel distressed, there are many thick hemp ropes tied to the stern.

Then, the battleship pulled it hard with all its might, and pulled these old and wrecked ships out of the navy's berth, which were unusable and had entered a state of being scrapped.

Slowly sailing towards the sea in the distance, walking and walking, but after leaving the navy's berth, there is an old and broken ship, and I don't know if the structure has decayed, and it has already begun to leak, slowly underground. Shen.

The two warship soldiers who were responsible for pulling the broken ship were startled, and quickly ordered the cables to be cut off, so as to avoid the fate of being pulled together by this old and broken ship.

As a result, there were only two target boats left, and Li Ke, who was standing beside Cheng Sablang, was a little regretful.

"Brother Chubi, there is one less target boat, do you want them to get some more?"

"Forget it, just these three broken ships, that General Wu Zhonglang's expression is like robbing his daughter's dowry. It's not appropriate to search again."

"Wait back and let him see the power of these gunboats, trust me.

At that time, I am afraid that Wu Zhonglang will wish that all those little broken boats will be smashed by himself, crying and shouting that he only needs this kind of good baby under our feet. "

After Cheng Chubi said such a sentence, he turned his head and saw that those people were carrying wooden boxes and barrels to the boat.

In order to facilitate the distinction, Cheng Sablang decided to adopt the simplest shape to facilitate the gunners to distinguish, and the boxy wooden boxes were filled with cannonballs.

The barrels are full of gunpowder. After all, although Cheng Sablang has never fought a naval battle in later generations, he has also watched many exciting sailing naval battles.

Not to mention Chu Bi, a capable man, he naturally has far more comprehensive considerations than those shown in the West Barbarian naval battles.

The first is gunpowder. Although it is packed in wooden barrels, when you open the wooden barrels, there are strips of gunpowder wrapped in oiled paper with standard weights.

And this standard weight represents the normal charge, so that when the war occurs.

All the loader needs to consider is to pick up a paper tube, bite open a mouthful, and pour gunpowder into the barrel.

It is avoided that when the war is in a panic, too little gunpowder is loaded, resulting in insufficient penetration of the artillery, or too much charge, which causes the gun chamber to burst.

Li Ke and the disciples of the martial arts were also curiously looking at the boxes of shells. The main thing was that the outside of these boxes were specially marked with strange symbols.

Some are just a circle, some are arrow-shaped, some are a line between two circles, and some are a lot of small circles. This time, it really made everyone wait.

"Brother Chubi, why are there several patterns on the outside of these cannonball boxes? Are these cannonballs still worth paying attention to?"

"Of course there is a point. The round type is a conventional shell, and the round upper part is split into a blooming bullet.

As for the other two, one is a chain bullet and the other is a grape bullet, both of which are special bullets. "

"For a while, I can't explain it to you. After a while, you will understand the functionality of these shells."

Hearing this, the old brother was at a loss, but he still felt that seeing is believing is the best.

Just after all the supplies were loaded onto the ship, with Cheng Sablang's order, the three refitted gunboats were under the personal control of a group of Dengzhou navy veterans led by General Wu Zhonglang.

He started to slowly leave the dock where the navy was berthed, and headed in the direction of the target ship.

Although General Wu Zhonglang believed the words of King Li Ke of Qi, he really expected that these gunboats would be full of power.

In the past, naval battles, water battles, and naval warships were mostly chosen at a certain distance.

Use the ballista to attack first, wait until it gets closer, then shoot each other with bows and arrows, wait until the battleships on both sides are on the side, and then shoot the stick.

Then a group of navy soldiers picked up their weapons and put them on their arms, killing him with blood and corpses all over the place.

This is a very normal water battle scene, but now, General Wu Zhonglang also wants to see how effective the artillery that can blow up Luoyang City into a miasma can be used in water battles.

After the three refitted gunboats slowly sailed away, all the Dengzhou navy officers were suddenly unhappy.

After all, everyone also wanted to see what kind of damage the legendary monster Cheng Sablang transformed the three warships could cause.

So, under the instigation of those soldiers, the warships began to slowly leave the navy's berth, and they chased after the three gunboats.

In front of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 gunboats are the five old and broken ships lined up in a row. Each ship is separated by a distance of nearly mile.

As Cheng Sanlang gave a few words to General Wu Zhonglang, General Wu Zhonglang immediately issued an order loudly.

Soon the three converted gunboats began to turn slowly, and then faced the No. 1 target ship, forming a standard horizontal formation.

Cheng Chubi looked at Target Ship No. 1, which was about fifty feet away from him, and shouted.

"Twenty-five degrees, right in front, the first layer of artillery positions are loaded with chain bullets and fired in sequence! The second layer of artillery positions is ready."

As soon as the words fell, the same roar of filial piety came from the first deck, and then the Cheng family members, who had already had the experience of performing, lit the leads of the artillery.

General Wu Zhonglang, and those sailors and soldiers soon heard a huge roar from under their feet, and then saw a white smoke spraying away from the side of the ship.

The white smoke has not yet dissipated, the second loud noise came, and another white smoke appeared, and so on...

At this moment, the old wrecked ship in front of it, like a sudden epilepsy, suddenly the hull shook, and then shook again... This is a very serious ship shock with amazing destructive power.

The distance of fifty feet is not far, all the visitors standing on the deck can clearly see that three broken pieces suddenly appeared on the body of the old and broken ship, as if torn apart by the big hand of a savage giant. Hole.

And this is not over yet, it is not dead, there is just a chain bomb, slightly higher than the ship's side, and it directly smashes all the nearby railings, and continues to charge forward without losing the momentum.
