As the mastermind behind Hong Tao, he knew very well that Swann had already started to act. He didn't see the first shot, but he saw the effect of the second shot, and there was still a pool of blood on the wall of the wooden house, but it looked more like a stain because it was dark.
"I can respect everyone's opinions on the new village and the shipyard, and if they think it's better to live separately, then we'll go to the south bank and build our own village. I'm going to go and boo, drink too much and drink too much......" At this time, Hong Tao was a little anxious, because several elders in the village were gathered around him, and there was a third target, he was making a suggestion to himself in stammering Chinese, hoping that Hong Tao would take his subordinates to live on the south bank by himself, and that land could be lent to Hong Tao for free.
"When does Lao Tzu need to borrow land? Where I stand, there is my land! Old immortal, can you not follow me all the time, peeing is so close, are you an old glass! Hong Tao made an excuse to leave the group, he wanted to give Swan a better angle to shoot. Unfortunately, the elder followed him to the back of the house, and stood beside him and shushed at the grass. Hong Tao was so angry that he scolded the street in Latin, and he really wanted to take out a pistol from his waist and shoot him.
"Am I wronged if Swan shoots me and kills me, and then he reigns in this land?" After carefully observing the angle between the battleship and himself, Hong Tao moved two more steps to the right, giving Swan the angle of fire. Then he raised his left hand and held out his middle finger at the battleship on the river, convinced that Swann was aiming at this side.
......There was a muffled sound around him, and the elder who was watering the grass with his legs crossed seemed to have a spring on his leg. Suddenly flew backwards, hit the wooden wall of the house, and then softened down the wooden wall.
"I'll take care of your family, it's not that your buddies are black, it's that you're too much of a hindrance, for the future of all Indians. You should dedicate yourselves to God......" Hong Tao shook his head as he looked at the dead corpse. He didn't want to use this to carry out his plan, but he couldn't think of any other way. With the three of them here, it will affect the opinions of a large number of villagers, and they don't want to occupy Tu's village with guns, which is too ruthless and not in line with their habits.
"Come, Lao Luo, get up and move. I'll teach you how to dance, it's easy to learn. Lighting a cigar, Hong Tao stood next to the corpse for two minutes, then returned to the fire as if nothing had happened, and pulled up Luo Youde, who was shaking his head and chanting poetry, into the crowd. Now he needs to think carefully about how to make up nonsense and deceive people tomorrow, and there must be a reason for the death of these three people. The Indians would not see any clues from the wounds, let alone them, and even most of the people of Jinhewan did not know what weapons could punch a large hole in the human body. The Indians certainly haven't seen a rifle.
"Boom...... "Before Hong Tao could make up the nonsense, a loud bang suddenly came from the direction ......of the river. Then the alarm bell on the battleship suddenly rang.
"Who is this? It's okay to shoot! You can't have someone do it, right? The loud bang brought the song and dance party next to the fire pond to an abrupt end, and everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
"! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Go to the pier...... Go all to the dock......" Hong Tao was also taken aback, but he reacted in an instant, it is a felony not to order to fire, and his own people will never do such a thing. It is even more impossible to ring the alarm bell for no reason. Unless someone wants to be whipped to death. The only explanation is that Swan's side found out about the enemy and was forced to fire back, and then alerted himself with a warning bell. Hong Tao didn't know what the specific enemy situation was, what he knew was that he must return to the battleship first.
Fig. Come with me! Come with me! Before the drunken slave soldiers and slave sailors could react, Hong Tao had already grabbed Luo Youde with one hand and Tu with the other, and ran towards the dock. At this time, a sparkling fire suddenly appeared on the river, this is someone holding a torch, as for who, it is not his own person anyway, now the comparison is speed.
"I'll let you climb! I'll let you climb! At this time, the battle had already begun on the battleship, and Swann was running around on the deck with a short spear, poking his head out of the side of the ship from time to time to look at the water, and then stabbing the figure on the side of the ship with the short spear in his hand.
After killing the third target, Swan really aimed his gun at Hong Tao's figure, and then felt a heartbeat, quickly put down the fired rifle, and began to pack the rifle and ammunition bag on the table.
As soon as the box was loaded, Swann suddenly froze, tilted his head to the window and listened, his expression immediately became a little strange, he slipped out of the captain's room with a frown, trotted down the side of the ship, ran down the side of the ship to the bow of the ship, poked his head out of the side of the ship, and looked out of the river for a few seconds.
Someone is rowing on the river! This is the conclusion that Swann has reached.
As a person who lives on a boat all year round, he is very sensitive to the sound of water. The waves crashing against the hull of a ship, the fish churning the water, and the waves stirred up by the wind all make all kinds of sounds, but the sound of the water made by a person is not the same as these. Although he couldn't see it, Swann was 100% sure that just a hundred meters or so from the bow of the boat, there were people rowing, and there was more than one person, many people!
At this time, Hong Tao's training of the Royal Navy was revealed, and he always emphasized to the officers that no matter what the circumstances, the unknown thing is a threat, and the Royal Navy is only allowed to kill by mistake, and it is absolutely not allowed to be soft because of confusion. As long as you feel that you and the ship are in danger, even if the other party is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, you have to attack immediately, and strike first.
If he accidentally injures someone because of self-preservation, there is no mistake, he, the commander of the navy, will not blame half a sentence. If the ship or personnel suffer losses because of hesitation, it is a felony, and it is useless for anyone to intercede.
Siwan remembered Hong Tao's teachings 100%, he didn't want to find out who the people on the river were, he just thought about why the other party wanted to get close to his boat in the dark. Anyone who does this will not be unjust at all if he is killed, and he will have merit if he is not guilty.
There were 80 mm deck guns on the deck of the battleship, and this small gun did not have a sports car, but was fixed to the side of the ship with a metal gimbal, and when it was used, it was only necessary to pull out the latch and turn it left and right. The main reason for this arrangement is to prevent someone from approaching the battleship, and in case of being approached by the enemy's ship in a naval battle, these small cannons and shotguns can also be used to inflict great damage on the personnel on the opponent's deck.
Swann quickly reloaded the bow deck gun, which was supposed to be operated by two people, but could be done by one. The propellant pack is fixed, and it is stuffed in; Shotguns are simpler, they are all packed in a thin iron keg, and even if they are loaded if they are placed along the barrel, the chamber pressure will tear the iron barrel apart, and the small iron ball inside is the shotgun. Finally, plug the muzzle with a cork, and you can fire the gun downward at a negative angle.
Some people may ask, in the dark night, you need to hold a fire rope, torch and the like to launch artillery, can't the other party see it, and can't shoot people with a bow and arrow? This concern did exist in previous years, but it was not a problem after Qi Zu made the flintlock pistol. Although the guns were detained by Hong Tao and not produced or equipped, the flintlock device was popularized. Since then, artillery has been built with a triggering ignition device on the door, eliminating the need for an open flame to ignite ******.
One of the advantages of this is that the cannon will be fired faster. After the gun commander gave the order, the gunner only needed to pull the rope connected to the firing mechanism, and no longer had to hold an open flame to the fire door and light it. There's no need to keep a brazier on the gun deck, it's dangerous, and if you don't do it, it will ignite the ******.
This artillery hit the enemy, Swann did not know, and he did not have the time to check the results of the shooting, as soon as possible, reloading, reloading, and continuing to shoot at the river where there might be people was the only thing he could do at present. The shotgun is a large area, and as long as there are people on the river, it must be able to hit it.
