Chapter 187: Serial Cannon

The cannon exploded like thunder in mid-air, and a medium-sized flowering cannonball with a three-pound charge broke through the air with a whooshing sound, smashing the thick wooden planks of the ship's cabin into a hole the size of a watermelon, and smashing the skull of a soldier and landing on the deck.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and all the movable doors and windows of the cabin were pushed open by the huge explosive force, and half of the dozens of Yuan soldiers inside were injured, that is, the Yuan soldiers who had no external injuries, and their heads were also dizzy, and they couldn't hear any sound for a long time.

However, this did not stir up a trace of waves in the battlefield where tens of thousands of people were fighting at the same time, only the soldiers on that boat wondered, not knowing what was going on and what was going on.

But Liu Jinli on the opposite side of the soup bottle on the mountain, his eyes have been boiled red, and all the eighteen cannons have been loaded with gunpowder shells, and he has been waiting for Zhao Tianyou's signal, but he doesn't come from the left or from the right, and this day is like a year.

"Master Liu, I saw it, I saw it, the one in the middle of the Yuan soldier fleet, the smoke hasn't cleared yet, it must be General Zhao's cannon!"

Liu Jinli rubbed his eyes, and stared at the faint smoke of gunpowder on the opposite peak, the sound of the cannon just now was different from the cannon of the Yuan soldiers, crisp and powerful, not as dull as the cannons of the Yuan soldiers.

"I sound like our cannons!"

At this time, the second crisp and loud cannon sound sounded again, and a small cloud of white smoke rose up in Yashan, and Liu Jinli looked at it at once.

"Haha, General Zhao gave me a signal, and the brothers aimed at me and opened fire, bombarding the Yuan soldier warship in the middle position!"

Liu Jinli's face was full of excitement, these days he has been teaching these people how to aim, how to fire, how to clean up the barrel and fill the order of gunpowder and the matters that need attention, although it is not fast to grind the gun in battle, then it is now the time to test the results of learning.

"Boom, boom!"

A salvo of three consecutive sounds, aimed at the same warship of the Yuan soldiers, two direct hits and one missed, fortunately, there were enough warships of the Yuan soldiers below, and the missed one directly smashed into the stern, and the helmsman and steering wheel were reimbursed together with a bang.

The two shells that hit directly were also very angry, and the two explosions that connected them brought down thirty or forty Yuan soldiers on the deck, of which seven or eight people were directly killed and more than a dozen people were seriously injured, so frightened that the rest of the Yuan soldiers hid to the side, not daring to approach the scene of the explosion where the dead and wounded were everywhere.

If it was Li Heng's subordinates, he would hold his head and shout that this was not a cannon at the head of Guangzhou, but the Yuan soldiers under Zhang Hongfan had not suffered from the Hongyi cannon, and they didn't know where the explosion came from and what the reason was.

However, a series of ringings like popping beans followed, and at the same time, four or five Yuan soldiers and warships were critically hit, and the casualties were severe, but they felt that something was wrong, and began to look around for the cause of the explosion.

By the time the first round of shelling on both sides was over, seven or eight warships had already been shelled, and the serious ones had already blown through the bottom silo and began to sink into the water, and in some cases lost a dozen soldiers.

Zhang Hongfan also noticed the sound of the cannon and the damage to his warship, but before he could find out the cause, he looked up at the peaks on both sides with a gloomy face, but shook his head again. In his opinion, the mountain peak was so far away from the ship, it was impossible for any weapon to have this range, and his own greatest reliance on the Divine Courage Cannon, the maximum range was only five hundred paces.

If Li Heng would tell him like this next to him, Lao Tzu's house is three miles away from the city wall of Guangzhou, and they killed twenty or thirty cooks with one shot, so that many people don't have a bite of hot food to eat, how far are you.

In the gap between the miscellaneous artillerymen on the mountain cleaning the breeches and reloading the gunpowder, the Yuan soldiers had already collected the shrapnel after the explosion and sent it to Zhang Hongfan's ship. But what can he see with the irregular and chaotic pig iron shrapnel in his hand? But from the sharp edges and corners on the top side, and the blood stains that have been stained, Zhang Hongfan knows very well that the lethality of this thing is much greater than the power of his own brave cannon.

At this time, many people in the Yuan soldiers warship saw that the bombed and sparse cabin, the exaggerated wounds on the deceased's body, and the leaky and sunken warship all showed that they had a very powerful opponent. Fear is contagious, and a fear of the sound of explosions begins to spread in a small area, and some warships hurry to move, keeping a certain distance from the shelled ship, for fear that the ship will bring bad luck to themselves.

"The loaded free-fire cannons, aiming at the target without bombardment, brothers remember to me, two or three cannons on a ship are enough, no more will have no effect. Keep an eye on them, find their general's flagship as soon as possible, and if anyone can blow it up, I'll go back and find you a room of little girls. ”

"Okay, Master Liu, you can take a look, let's never go empty with one shot, you tell our brothers, what is the ship of the marshal of the Yuan Army?"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

This time, the sound of artillery was relatively neat, and the targets of the attack began to disperse, according to Liu Jinli's instructions, when the gunners were aiming, they gave priority to attacking the Yuan soldiers warships that had not been shelled. This time caused a large-scale turmoil in the Yuan soldiers' warships, and the warships that had just arrived after the shelling found that the surrounding warships were not rushing over to help rescue the wounded, but were quickly avoiding themselves for fear that their ships would become the target of attack.

"General, general! On the top of the mountain, on the top of the soup bottle mouth, there was a layer of white smoke, and I saw the fire when the cannon rang out just now. ”

Zhang Hongfan was taken aback, got up from the Taishi's chair and walked to the bow of the ship, and under the guidance of several soldiers, he also saw the little light that flashed when the cannon fired. His heart sank suddenly, attacking from such a distance, and exploding next to the target, had exceeded his knowledge of artillery, and he had already begun to suspect that it was some kind of witchcraft.

But when he was looking at the top of the mountain from the bow of the boat, he was seen by Zhao Tianyou on the top of the cliff mountain, with white fur decorations and gold-inlaid battle armor on his body, which immediately revealed his identity.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, the people on the warship below are not much bigger than ants, and it is impossible for anyone to recognize which one is the general from the ten thousand armies, but Zhao Tianyou's eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and he aimed at Zhang Hongfan at a glance.

"Three dogs and three dogs, hurry up, your cannon, follow my target, there is a general of the Yuan soldiers on this ship!"

After Zhao Tianyou moved the cannon body and aimed steadily, he lit the fuse and dodged a little, his eyes kept staring at Zhang Hongfan's figure, and he could already see the direction of his fingers, which was the soup bottle chew mountain where Liu Jinli and they stayed.

"Hehe, it's a little late! I'll send you to the western heavens. ”
