Chapter 733: Fight across the mountain, cannon

After a period of estimation, Li Tai stopped fiddling and fastened the buckle of the artillery adjustment frame.

"Alright, give the king a torch!"

Wang Qing came over with a torch and said worriedly, "King Wei, why don't you light the fire from your humble position!" ”

Li Tai snatched the torch and said disdainfully, "Just light an artillery, how dangerous can it be?" Go back and watch this king take out their biggest cargo ship! ”

Wang Qing saw that Li Tai had already put the torch to the fuse, and immediately ran behind the protective iron plate.

He had seen the power of the cannon chamber, and in order to launch this finished product, three people died in the course of the experiment.

Don't think that three is very few, and the death of three people under the almost harsh security protection of the Thunderbolt Division is already a high loss.

After lighting the fuse, Li Tai also threw away the torch and ran wildly with his head in his arms.

He was timid, especially afraid of death, especially since he had briefly participated in the production of artillery, and knew more about the power of the bore than anyone else.

After a few breaths

Rumble!

It's not a bore.

Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, took the binoculars handed over by the guard, and looked at the dock.

After being deterred by the first and second guns, the enemy was completely frightened and scrambled to find a place to hide.

There were some calm people who had already run quickly to the side of the mountain, trying to get to the other side of the mountain.

Across a mountain, it's all right!

It's really okay, because the range of the elevation angle shot of this artillery made by Zhang Zhongqing can't exceed the height of the high mountains on this island.

After the sound of Li Tai's cannonball, those who were hiding felt that the place where they were hiding was not safe, and they all went out to find a more reliable place to hide.

However, the target of Li Tai's cannon was not them, but the cargo ship moored at the dock, fortunately not affected by the first shell.

Click!

The bow of the ship moored on the shore crumbled without warning, and the gold and silver in the cabin fell into the sea with a clatter.

The Wa Kingdom was rich in gold and silver, and these things may have been prepared by the Wa State to be transported to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for weapons.

After all, although Soga Jiro unified the Wa Kingdom, the weapons and equipment that he had exchanged had been almost consumed. After enjoying the top weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that no one wants to let his soldiers live a poor life.

Li Tai saw the effect of this cannon and frowned, "The error is a bit big, I was originally going to aim at the center of the ship." ”

Hearing Li Tai's words, the gunner blushed for the first time.

Although his calibrated artillery was accurate, it could not reach the level of Li Tai. Hit the pier hill earlier because the target was big enough. If he were to hit a boat at this distance, his error would probably be much, much greater.

After seeing Li Tai's quasi-head, the gunner's pride was gone, and when a big sycophant shot out, "King Wei's quasi-head is simply embarrassing." King Wei is really talented, and he can play so accurately for the first time. Compared to you, the ones that practice lowly are simply hitting the pigs. ”

Li Tai likes sycophants the most, and he didn't dislike this gunner anymore, and patted him on the shoulder, "Accurate!" But this thing has nothing to do with talent, it was earned by the efforts of this queen. When you go back, you ask Zhang Zhongqing to send all the gunners to the Academy of Arts to study physics, and you can reduce a lot of practice time! ”

That's right, the reason why Li Tai was able to fight more accurately than the gunner was because of physics. After simply estimating various data, you can roughly calculate the trajectory of the shells you hit.

The error was due to the error in the distance he estimated with his line of sight.

Although Li Tai's cannon did not hit the center of the cargo ship, it played a huge role. Because he smashed two cargo ships with this cannon, and there were only two ships berthed at the dock.

In this way, in the case of saving a shell, Li Tai was lucky to make a mistake.

"Since their ships have been bombed, they can't report back to the country. Let's change the boat! ”

Under the captain's control, the Chengtai made a dashing arc, away from the north of the archipelago, heading east.

Next, it had to fire several shots in all four directions of the island, not to kill the enemy, but to deter.

It was a deterrent, after the Chengtai moved away from the island, it first went around the back of the fishermen's boats before reappearing.

In this way, the people of the island looked like one of the warships surrounding the island approached and bombarded them with that magical weapon.

Invisibly, they became terrified of the shadow of the ship that could be seen in the distance.

If one ship is so powerful, how can the others be weak?

The pier to the north was bombed, and the cargo ship was bombed. Although there was still a small boat driven by two people hidden in the shadows, no one dared to go to sea.

The shadow of the ship in the distance is like a god of death, which makes people's hearts palpitate, and only a fool can rush to die!

The artillery had been completely cooled down during the transfer of the Chengtai, which made Leng Feng sigh that Zhang Zhongqing's luck was a little too good.

It is difficult for Datang's iron-smelting technology to create a suitable artillery body, and Zhang Zhongqing, a lone seedling artillery, was still made by chance.

Leng Feng is an idiot in steel smelting, he doesn't know how to make the cannon body of the cannon at all, and for this successful artillery, he can only guess that he happened to smelt some kind of alloy.

Because of this, artillery has not yet been mass-produced. When it can be manufactured on a large scale depends on whether the iron can find a fixed formula for this alloy.

Before arriving at its destination, the artillery had been reloaded, and it was the Cold Front that adjusted the artillery.

At this time, he did not hold a protractor to measure like Li Tai, but only relied on his own intuition to adjust.

After a while, Wang Qing came over and said, "Lord Protector, no, there are no dead ends on that circular hill, and the boat can't find a good angle no matter where it stops." ”

Just as they were passing by in a boat, the observer suddenly reported that this was probably the place where the enemy on the island stopped their boats or even Zhao Chuan.

The observer was an experienced soldier of the East China Sea Fleet, and his guesses were not justified.

After looking at the topography here, Leng Feng also felt that the place surrounded by hills and connected by sea water was the best boat bay or shipyard.

At this time, Zhang Zhongjian was not there, and judging from the situation in the sea lane, if there was a boat bay, the enemy's ships had not yet been dispatched.

This is a great opportunity.

In the mood of gambling, Leng Feng ordered the boat to find a good angle to avoid the obstruction of the hill.

But unfortunately, the angle around the hill is very tricky, and where there is a gap, it happens to be blocked by the high mountain next door.

Hearing Wang Qing's report, Leng Feng raised the elevation angle of the muzzle, and then muttered, "Give it a try, I guess it's okay!" ”

Wang Qing and the gunner next to him wanted to say something, but they had to keep their mouths shut.

Unlike the King of Wei, they had the courage to advise the King of Wei, but they did not have the confidence to protect the Duke of Wei.

After all, as long as you are not stupid, you can see that in this war, although it is the Protector who drafted the charter, it is the Protector who faintly dominates everyone.

Li Tai took the telescope and looked at the hill, and then said, "Master, do you want to be a little higher?" I feel like this height is a bit insufficient. ”

"It can't be any higher."

Leng Feng drew a rough parabola on the paper and said to Li Tai, "No matter how high it is, it will reduce its horizontal distance, and it will not be able to cross the hill." ”

Li Tai saw that the master drew the line so casually, but it was not easy to say anything.
