The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

The battleship under its feet suddenly made a sharp turn, suddenly accelerated, and the hull of the ship shook slightly, and most of the stone bullets fell into the water.

Scar Six was surprised to find that under the attack of his own rain-like stone cannons and heavy crossbows, the other party actually did not return fire.

This puzzled him, it could be that the other party did not have long-range attack weapons on the ship, which was a little unimaginable. If a warship at sea does not have long-range weapons, won't it be able to carry it on its back and be beaten?

There must be ghosts!

Thundered......

The next moment, several columns of water rose on the surface of the sea, and several rumbling cannons rang out one after another.

It's a pity that this distance is still a bit too far for the small cannon on the Fu ship.

A few shells were fired, but they basically failed to hit the opponent's ship, and they all landed in the sea water in the opposite fleet, stirring up several waves.

Zhao Laosan and his two subordinates stood next to Bai Zi Gong at the bow of the ship, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yun from time to time.

Waiting for him to give the order to fire. The torch for ignition had been caught in his hand at this time, and it could be pestled to the fire door at the end of the cannon at any time.

However, Zhang Yun was not in a hurry to let them fire the guns, but first ordered the marines on the ship with firecrackers and bird guns to light the fire doors on the muskets.

On his ship, according to the rules set by Zhang Yun before, no one was allowed to open fire without his order.

So even when he saw someone firing, his ship remained quiet, and even the musketeers with the muskets did not even light the fire rope, waiting for Zhang Yun's order.

Zhang Yun was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, although it was also the first time for him to participate in a naval battle, and his heart was pounding.

But he still tried to control his emotions and pretended to be light-hearted. Only Wu Feng, who followed closely, found that Zhang Yun's right hand holding the knife was tight and loose, all showing the nervousness in his heart.

It's understandable when you think about it, no one is born on the battlefield, even if they train hard.

Looking at Shen Shouchong, he gave orders one by one in an orderly manner, and the huge fortune boat was like a loach, sliding around on the wide sea.

Although a few stone bullets were hit from time to time, they were harmless, and for a huge ship of 500 materials, such an attack, as long as it did not hit the mainmast, could not cause much damage to the ship at all.

Zhang Yun has been watching Shen Shouchong's command and orders, and sure enough, he has a specialization in the art industry, if he comes to command it himself, he will be caught blind immediately.

What changes in the water flow, changes in the wind direction, how to adjust one main, two pairs and three sails, I am half-understood, stay on the surface.

On the sea, there is still a lot to learn.

"Keep an eye on the sailboat on the opposite side of Lao Tzu, leave the other ships alone, concentrate all your firepower, give me a hard beating first, archer rocket ready!"

The tail cannon was also prepared for me, and when I staggered with them, I was able to see the shot!

At the beginning, I was aimed! Listen to me and fire! ”

Shen Shouchong returned to the stern stern, stood next to the helmsman, pointed to the sailboat that was obviously the main ship on the opposite side, and shouted loudly to the subordinates on the ship.

After receiving the order, the sailor general hurriedly led his men to move the gun carriage in the bow of the ship, aiming the muzzle of the gun as much as possible at the sailing ship that was sailing on the opposite side.

Zhang Yun's musketeers and archers also lit arquebuses or rockets one after another, ready to launch.

The two fleets almost collided at this time, and the distance was reduced to dozens of meters, and even the freckles on the faces of the pirates on the opposite ship could be seen clearly.

At this time, the ships of both sides almost began to fire their guns together, shooting at each other's ships.

In an instant, a series of cannon sounds sounded on the sea surface one after another, like rolling thunder, which spread in all directions of the sea, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up on each ship.

Cannonballs whizzed out of their chambers and flew towards the enemy ships.

For a while, the sea was completely lively, and these shells were basically hailed towards the enemy's sailing ship on the opposite side.

It's just a quasi-head, I really don't dare to compliment. At a distance of several tens of meters, there were still shells falling into the sea, but more than half of the shells still hit the target.

Some of the shells hit the hull of the enemy ship, and a hole was punched in the hull with a bang.

Some of the shells were less powerful, and they hit the hull of the ship, but did not penetrate the hull, but only made a hole in the wood, and then the shell fell into the sea.

There were also individual shells that hit the side or sail of the enemy's ship, either flying sawdust, or making a huge hole in the enemy's sail, which could be regarded as causing distressing losses to the enemy.

In general, such an intensity of artillery bombardment, in such a naval battle, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance.

It's more like a fun, and it's usually hard to sink or destroy enemy ships.

On the contrary, some of the small cannons fired scattered shells, which also posed some threat to the enemy personnel, and the small cannons flying in all directions had a higher hit rate, and the crackling sound on the hulls of the enemy ships was even more terrifying.

There is no way, the powerful red-coated cannon can't be loaded on the ship because it is too heavy.

Therefore, Dengzhouwei's Fu ship was equipped with some eight- or twelve-pound solid cannons.

Zhang Yun couldn't care so much at this time, all his attention was on the sailboat rushing over on the opposite side, his palms were sweaty, and he yelled: "Fire at Lao Tzu!" ”

With a loud shout, the musketeers, crossbowmen, and archers on the ship immediately moved.

Zhao Laosan snorted, and then put the torch on the gun door in front of him, only to hear a boom, this Baizi gun immediately jumped up, and fell on the deck again, and the gun carriage also moved back two feet away.

The musketeers, at this time, also pulled off the machine one after another, and the dragon head stuck with the fire rope fell with a click, and landed right in the fire door of the fire gun.

As soon as the fire flickered in the fire door, the musket immediately rang out, and a cloud of smoke rose from the mouth of the gun, and clouds of green smoke rose from the whole ship.

The archer put the ignited rocket on the bowstring, pulled the string and opened the bow, and swished the flaming arrow towards the pirate ship.

Shen Shouchong could see clearly that the oncoming sailboat was Scar Six's ship, ready to carry out a gang jumping operation, which was considered a big bad luck at the moment.

The reason why it is called Baizi Gun is because it is mainly used to fire scattered bullets, and it can be loaded with more than 100 cannons the size of a little finger at a time.

If you fire at a long distance, the power can be described as scum, but when fired at close range, it can be said that a dozen large pieces can be used, and the lethal effect on personnel should not be underestimated.

At this time, the distance between the two ships is about 20 meters, and this cannon is almost only fired against the other party's head, which is unreasonable.

More than 100 cannons immediately swept across the opponent's ship like rain, and the screams of the pirates on the more than a dozen ships fell on the ship.

One guy even flipped off the other side of the boat and fell into the water screaming.

As for the guns fired by a few musketeers, as well as the rockets fired by archers, Zhang Yun didn't expect them to make a contribution.

Although the distance is not far, in a rocking ship, it is not easy to aim accurately and hit an enemy, there are more elements to scare people, and by the way, the rocket also causes some trouble for the opponent.

But even so, the other party still suffered a big loss. The men on deck suffered many casualties under this gun, and they were immediately thrown into disarray.

Seeing that two rockets were stuck in the sails of their ship, the pirate leader on the opposite ship hurriedly shouted to put out the fire and asked his men to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Zhang Yun held a monocular and looked up, only to find that a few musketeers had opened fire just now, and they had actually made some achievements.

There was a lookout post on the opponent's mast, and at this time, he didn't know who was hit, and he was lying on the top of the mast screaming.

After a short time, he fell headlong, and when he fell into the air, one leg was entangled in the sail rope, and it hung in the half-middle of the mast.

At this time, Zhang Yun heard Wu Feng's cheers, only to hear this kid shouting excitedly: "I fought it!" I hit it! Haha......"

Zhang Yun turned his head to look, Wu Feng was holding a newly issued bird gun in his hand, and danced at the bow of the ship to celebrate his harvest.

This kid has a good psychological quality, and he didn't feel any discomfort when he saw blood for the first time, he was a soldier, but it's a pity...... Alas...... In the end, it was a literati, and the Marines couldn't keep him.

"What's it called? Are there any rules, why don't you hurry up and reload? Attention Marines, watch out for enemy counterattacks? ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately scolded.
