0653 Heavy artillery

With the continuous efforts of the soldiers, the trestle became wider and stronger. Liu Pei put down the binoculars with satisfaction and said, "Good job!" ”

Wu Yizhou said with a smile on the side: "Still handsome and wise!" I actually came up with this solution! What a genius idea that we were able to use the enemy's house as a cover for us to repair the trestle! Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get the cannon to the island! I'm afraid that many brothers will be killed or injured! Damage to a lot of ships! ”

In recent years, the relationship between Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou has become closer and closer, and they are already brothers in life and death, without too much politeness! So Liu Pei stabbed Wu Yizhou in the ribs and said, "I still use you to shoot this sycophant?" Okay, I won't command the rest, it's up to you. ”

Wu Yizhou immediately became serious, saluted and said, "Obey, handsome!" ”

Immediately, the two handed over the command, and Wu Yizhou completely commanded the entire army. Wu Yizhou's first order was to mobilize six warships to join the west side of the island and continue to bombard the buildings near the sea. Good to build a wide landing field. Prepare well in advance for the landing of heavy artillery.

Now it is easy for Liu Pei to cast light artillery, but it is not easy to cast heavy artillery. Even the people of the Academy of Sciences racked their brains to forge these eight experimental heavy cannons. Once these cannons fall into the sea or are damaged, there is not even a backup. So Liu Pei and Wu Yizhou can't help but be careless!

Wu Yizhou received the news that the trestle was completed, so he simply went to the trestle in person and confirmed the solidity before deciding to let the cannon go ashore.

Having received an order, the ships loaded with heavy artillery began to approach the trestle. As soon as the ship entered the western side of the island and came within range of the castle artillery, it was bombarded by the castle artillery. The first ship escaped without danger. After all, the accuracy of artillery at this time was very low.

It was only when the ship completely hid in the shadow of the complex that it avoided the bombardment of the island's artillery. As soon as the ship approached the trestle, the soldiers gathered around to lift the cannons, and with great effort it took great effort to slowly transfer the first cannon from the ship to the trestle, and then to the shore.

At this time, more than 200 warriors had already gathered on the shore,

They were mobilized specifically for the protection of heavy artillery. They are the first line of defense.

Under the tugging of the soldiers, the first artillery finally landed safely. As soon as the heavy artillery came ashore, the gunners immediately began to build makeshift artillery fortifications. Artillery was aimed at one of the nearest buildings. It is a two-story building. There were quite a few Dutch garrisons stationed inside.

The exterior of the two-story building has long been beaten beyond recognition by naval guns, but it still stands stubbornly there. The Dutch people in the house were still glad that the house was built sturdily, but when they saw the black hole of the heavy cannon through the firing port, their whole hearts tightened!

This kind of cannon is simply terrifying! They've never seen such a big muzzle! With such a large caliber, how heavy will the fired shells be? Can your own house block it? All the people in the house who had knowledge of artillery consulted with each other and came to a pessimistic conclusion.

Unstoppable! Unstoppable! The house they are in will not be left with three shots at most!

So the Dutch people became more and more flustered and noisy, and they couldn't make up their minds. But the hands and feet of the opponent's gunners did not stop. When the person observing the situation from the firing port shouted: "The other side has already loaded the shell!" That cannonball is the size of a coconut! What to do? ”

When the room heard this, it fell silent for a moment. What to do? Then I don't know who shouted first: "Run!" ”

Then a room full of people scrambled to escape from the house. Not long after they left the house, they heard a loud "boom"! Even the whole beach shook. They didn't see the artillery firing, but they saw the consequences, half of the building collapsed!

Liu Pei's gunners loaded the artillery, did not even hesitate, and directly lit the fuse behind the artillery. These gunners had tried the cannon and knew that this cannon was very powerful. But that was a test, there was no full charge at all, at most only seventy percent of gunpowder. So the power can't be compared to what it is now!

The gunners left the fuses of the guns very long, just to be able to run far. But they squatted on the side, covering their ears, Zhang

The big mouth was also dizzy by the huge sound wave!

The gunner, who had been staring at the muzzle of the gun to see a fresh look, saw a flash of red light in the muzzle! The huge cannonball flew out of the muzzle slowly! He looks like he's flying so slowly, but it's the shells that look so slow that they're actually very fast! In the blink of an eye, it flew into the air, and then slammed into the side of the house!

The cannonball went through the wall and into the interior, and the house shook violently! After a while, there was a loud bang, and most of the house collapsed! It seems that the Dutch miscalculated, and the remaining third is also wobbly and wind-blowing. It seems that the Dutch people have simply miscalculated! Not to mention three shots, their house can't withstand one shot!

Wu Yizhou couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw that the house was destroyed with one shot! The gunners and soldiers also burst into cheers! Even the gun commander jumped with him, but he immediately reacted and kicked and hit his gunners, urging them to quickly move the gun and aim at the next target.

Unlike Liu Pei's soldiers, the surrounding houses were already silent! It was so scary to destroy those two-story houses with one shot! Even if the house was bombarded by the ship for a long time, the structure has been shaken a little, but the collapse of one shot is still so terrible!

Especially when the gunners pushed the guns to point at another house, the people in that house were already creepy! This time, there is no need for everyone to discuss, the people in this house have desperately thrown away all the cumbersome things and fled outside in embarrassment!

Driven by these people, the people in the other three buildings fled one after another. They had no intention of entering the other two rows of houses at all. Because they know that those two rows of houses can't stop the bombardment of heavy artillery! After the other side has destroyed the houses on the periphery, it will definitely continue to bombard other houses with heavy artillery!

And they couldn't attack the heavy artillery positions on the seashore yet, because there were a large number of soldiers there preparing to intercept them. Moreover, the other side still has the cover of naval guns, and it was scattered by naval guns before it got close at all! So they simply abandoned the whole complex and fled over the open space in the middle towards the castle.
