Chapter 769: The Cannon Window Is Stuck (Ask for Subscription) (Page 1/1)

Abatai could see very clearly that the three-layer armor worn on the Jurchen armor soldiers had very limited defensive power in front of the Changxing army's guns.

Since heavy armor does not provide defense for soldiers, it is better to travel lightly to speed up the soldiers' charge. Therefore, he decisively ordered the thousand Jurchens who charged at the beginning to wear only one cotton armor to go into battle, and the soldiers who followed behind were fully armed armored soldiers.

Moreover, the line of attack he chose was directly in front of the battleship, and there was no dense gun window on the side here. Apart from the two guns that occasionally flickered on the deck, there was no other artillery fire.

Moreover, the bow of the ship was already so cramped that it could not accommodate any more musketeers. Therefore, the blow received during the charge was also the lightest, as long as you can get close to the battleship from the bow, you can attack from this direction, and you will definitely be able to take this battleship of the Changxing Army at that time.

Then use this battleship as a springboard to capture the next few battleships one after another, and when it is done, he will be the first person to defeat the Changxing army, and he will definitely add a lot of points in Amma's heart.

When Li Jie found out that the Jurchens were attacking from the bow of the ship, his brows furrowed. Here is the weakest point of the battleship, second only to the stern.

At sea, the warship can also rely on the ability to turn the hull of the ship with the ability to agitate, and always use the most powerful side firepower against the enemy. But now on the ice, the battleship can't move at all, and can only be beaten passively.

Although the two 9-pounder cannons in the bow of the ship could kill and injure the Jurchen armor, they were definitely a drop in the bucket for the number of Jurchens. He looked up at the sky, and the sky in the distance was already pale blue.

"Take out all the Divine Fire Crows and burn this group of Jiannu to Lao Tzu!" Li Jie decisively gave an order, and now this situation can only use the Divine Fire Flying Crow to withstand it for a while.

As long as they can hold out until dawn, they will be supported by the guns of the battleships on the sea. At that time, the situation will be greatly improved, and the Jurchens will not want to bargain for anything else.

One by one, the Divine Fire Crows flew towards the ice in the direction of the bow of the ship, and soon joined together on the ice to form a sea of fire. Many female true armor soldiers can't dodge and are splashed by the fire, and the cotton armor will burn violently when it encounters the fire.

One by one, the Jurchen armored soldiers were charred and poured on the ice, but the number of Divine Fire Crows was limited after all. Although a large area of sea water had melted the surface of the sea ice, it still could not stop the Jurchens from approaching.

The red-eyed Jurchens, stimulated by Abatai's high reward, stepped on the molten sea water on the ice under their feet and rushed towards the Changxing warship.

They quickly rushed under the boat, some climbed straight up from the bow, some climbed up through the gun window, and some threw flying claw ropes into the boat.

There are also people who stand under the ship and cover their companions with bows and arrows, and as soon as they see the soldiers of the Changxing Army showing their heads, they immediately greet them with bows and arrows. For the first time, the Changxing army on the battleship suffered casualties, and many people were shot by the Jurchens and fell to the deck.

"The soldiers held the side of the ship, the sailors supported with short guns, the gunners exchanged bullets for Lao Tzu, and smashed those hateful Jiannu archers to Lao Tzu! ......" Li Jie gave the order on the aft deck with a steel knife in one hand and a short gun in the other.

Almost all the soldiers of the entire Changxing Army Navy were concentrated on these seven frozen warships, and all the remaining sailors on the ships were replaced by soldiers.

The frozen sailors of the battleship can not do much, and even if they can manipulate the battleship in a trick, they will not be able to make the battleship move in the slightest.

As the battleship that went deepest into the sea ice, Li Jie led more than 300 soldiers to guard this battleship. Although the Jurchens surrounded the battleship and climbed up the battleship like ants, they were still beaten down again and again by the Changxing army.

In the lower artillery deck of the battleship, Yin Wanguang loaded a gun with scattered shells. He nodded heavily to the gunner beside him, and the gunner ran to the gun window and pulled the rope hard, and a black hole appeared on the side of the battleship.

"Push hard!" Yin Wanguang shouted hoarsely, and several other gunners also used all their strength to push the artillery forward.

The Jurchen archers under the ship were shooting arrows at the side of the ship, and from time to time a soldier of the Changxing Army would be shot by them. At this distance, the power of the bow and arrow in their hands was extremely great, and even the armor of the Changxing Army would be shot through.

Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was the leader, was directing his subordinates to shoot arrows, when he suddenly saw a window peeking out under the side of the battleship. His eyebrows immediately twitched a few times, and his brow twitched as he looked at the cannon that was being pushed out of the cannon window little by little.

The thick muzzle of the cannon was facing them, and if he was bombarded, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be. He hurriedly pointed to the open cannon window with his hand and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! Shoot the mud inside! ”

The other archers also saw the open cannon window and the faint cannon muzzle inside, and turned around and fired their arrows at the open cannon window.

For a moment, the gun window was full of arrows, which were deeply nailed into the ship's plank, and the exposed shaft of the arrow was trembling slightly. Despite the small opening, a few arrows flew in.

Two of the five people who pushed the cannon were shot, and the gunner who was shot fell to the board of the ship screaming. The remaining three suddenly felt the pressure increase, and the artillery under them became extremely heavy.

Yin Wanguang pushed the cannon with difficulty and roared vigorously: "Brothers! Hold on! ......" A feathered arrow interrupted Yin Wanguang's roar.

This feather arrow hit Yin Wanguang's shoulder, and the pain made Yin Wanguang tremble, and his feet stopped involuntarily. The guns were stopped three inches from the side of the ship, and despite their efforts, the remaining two could not move the guns in the slightest.

He endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, turned around and leaned his back against the cannon, used all the strength of his legs, and shouted, "Hard! ”

The cannon was finally pushed out of the ship's side, and a smile appeared on Yin Wanguang's face when he poked the red-hot iron pass into the blast hole. This is an 18-pounder gun, which is usually used to destroy the waterline of enemy ships.

Hundreds of buckshot bullets alone were loaded into it, and the feeling of being hit by the Jurchens was definitely unpleasant. If the Jurchen archers outside are not all killed, they will definitely not be pleased.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the heavy cannon quickly retreated into the cabin under the recoil of the heavy cannon. There was still a trace of gunsmoke from the muzzle, and there was silence outside the ship after the sound of the gun.

Yin Wanguang peeked through the cannon window, and the originally arrogant archers outside were knocked down. At least half of the archers lay in pools of blood, and the surviving archers no longer dared to stand blatantly under the ship and shoot arrows.

They all ducked under the side of the ship to dodge, and after such a long time, they came to a conclusion that the closer they were to the side of the ship, the safer it was. Under the side of the ship is simply a blind spot for artillery fire, even from the gunners on the side of the ship.

Yin Wanguang covered the place where he was hit by the arrow on his shoulder, and said to the gunner on the side: "Put down the cannon window!" Get ready for the next shelling! As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the helpless face of the gunner.

"Gun Commander! The cannon window is stuck, and it can't be put down at all! ”
