Chapter Seventy-Four: The Power of Mortars
"What sound?"
The man looked up at the sky suspiciously, and vaguely saw that something seemed to be moving in the sky, but the speed was too fast to catch it with the naked eye, but he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart.
The others were looking up, staring, but seeing nothing.
Rumble!
At this moment, something seemed to fall into the sea not far away, and then there was a loud bang.
A column of water rushed up on the sea, which could be several feet high, and the nearest lucky ship was about thirty meters away from the place where the water column was raised.
"What's the ghost called?"
Someone was taken aback and immediately glared angrily.
But soon, everyone was taken aback.
The screaming sailor's face seemed to have been cut, there was a finger-long cut, the skin and flesh were extremely terrifying, and the blood was flowing out of his life, and the sailor was scrambling to cover his sleeves, but he couldn't cover it.
"Mao San'er, what's wrong with you?"
The sailors were startled and hurriedly asked.
Mao San'er didn't seem to feel the pain yet, and shouted angrily: "Hell, it seems that something flew over just now and wiped it on my face, I didn't see anything, hurry, give me some medicine to stop bleeding." ”
"Hurry up and get the medicine!"
A man shouted, and someone immediately took the hemostatic medicine.
But if you don't have eggs, you can't stop bleeding at all.
At this moment, there was a loud bang, and not far away, another column of water rose into the sky.
This time it was further away, but it only startled the sailors, and no one was hurt.
several times away.
"It's getting worse and worse."
Li Chuan frowned when he saw it, and glared at Zhao Tiezhu dissatisfied.
Zhao Tiezhu shrunk his erection, and the two cannons were empty, which made him very faceless, and he was even more apprehensive in his heart, so he called the best guy who had fought before: "Ergouzi, you come to fight." ”
The second dog stood aside, and when he heard the words, he immediately stood in the starting position.
Needless to say, the early organic family man loaded a grenade from the barrel of the cannon.
The second dog looked at the scope for a long time, and suddenly pulled down the bracket.
Rumble!
With a muffled sound, the shells immediately went out.
"Keep fighting."
Li Chuan commanded, and the family holding the cannonball immediately stuffed the cannonball into it.
The other side!
"What the hell?"
The sailors were suspicious, and they couldn't figure out what had fallen into the water, and there was another muffled sound, and a column of water rushed up five meters away from the big ship, and countless small pieces of iron splashed, and immediately screamed.
Several sailors standing near the side of the ship clutched their heads and fell screaming, blood slowly seeping out.
"Oh no, it's artillery!"
Finally, a sailor reacted, and couldn't help but scream, and his face changed sharply.
These sailors are no strangers to artillery, and the three Daifuku ships themselves have cannons, and they all change color when they hear it, what kind of artillery can hit so far, the range is even farther than the Hongyi cannon, and the accuracy is so amazing.
The Hongyi cannon can also hit more than ten miles at the farthest, but that is only a theoretical range, if you really want to hit more than ten miles, the accuracy cannot be controlled at all, the gap may be in miles, and the iron bullets shot out do not have much lethality.
The real effective killing range is only one mile at most, and this is still an iron bullet.
If you fire a shotgun, it would be good to be able to hit two or three hundred steps.
But now the two sides are no less than six miles away, and the other party's artillery can hit the shotgun so far, and the accuracy is so amazing, it only almost hits the ship, what kind of concept is this, it is a terrifying mess.
If you don't know artillery, you may just be shocked.
But the more people who understand artillery, the more they think about it, and the more shocked they are.
"How is it possible, what artillery can shoot a shotgun so far."
The sailors were so shocked that they wanted to bite their tongues off.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, another pillar of fire rushed up on the edge of the big appendage.
There were less than ten breaths between the front and back, and this time the shell fell near the big ship in the middle, only two meters away.
Amid the screams, at least ten sailors fell on the big ship in the middle.
In addition to those killed by shrapnel, three people died on the spot.
"#@¥#@@, call me!"
On the middle boat, the leading man was going crazy, and roared with red eyes.
Once upon a time, they were invincible across the sea, and even the arrogant ghosts were defeated by them, but now the enemy ship is a small black spot in sight, and before they get close at all, they have no less than 20 people.
For the first time in his life, he could only be beaten passively, unable to fight back, how could the man not go crazy.
Although he knew that firing at this distance was just waste ammunition, he couldn't care about it.
If you don't vent a few shots, you'll be mad.
Rumble!
The Hongyi cannon also fired, and an iron bullet roared into the air.
miles away.
"The other side has artillery!"
Looking at the big iron ball whistling in, Li Chuan and the sailors' faces changed.
This is a bit beyond his expectations, and the other side also has artillery, which is troublesome.
What's even worse is, how could an ancient cannon have such a high range?
But soon, everyone's eyes widened, and they almost didn't laugh.
"Uh, that's ......"
Li Chuan looked at the iron ball that roared over everyone's heads and fell into the sea more than a mile behind the big ship, and was really a little speechless about this target, how bad this mud horse must be to hit the iron bullet more than a mile away.
"Hahaha!"
The family laughed, and the little worry they had just now disappeared immediately.
"Hit, hit me hard."
Zhao Tiezhu personally loaded a cannonball and urged loudly.
Just now, the two dogs fired two shots, and they all saw through the binoculars, they were very close to the three big ships, and even the second cannon was only a little bit close to hitting the big ship in the middle, and they were all excited as if they had taken stimulants.
Compared with your own artillery, the opponent's artillery is not enough to see at all.
With a whistling sound, two more iron bullets flew overhead and fell into the water a mile away.
"Turn, can't get any closer."
Li Chuan was not optimistic, and decisively ordered the ship to turn.
Since the opponent's cannon can hit such a long range, there is a threat to some extent, the accuracy difference is related to the distance, the closer it is, the smaller the error, in case it gets too close, let the opponent's iron bullet hit, the trouble will be big.
Although the killing area of that kind of iron bullet is not large, the penetration power is more terrifying than that of a grenade.
In case of hitting a large ship, it is estimated that it will be able to penetrate the large ship.
"Turn!"
Huang Tianxiang, who was experienced, also had such worries, and immediately ordered the sailors to change course.
The sailors skillfully adjusted the sails, and the big ship slowly turned and headed to the side.
The second dog was full of excitement, and was constantly firing the cannonball, Zhao Tiezhu personally loaded the shell, and as soon as the cannonball was loaded, the second dog just aimed slightly, and then he really pulled down the bracket and fired out one shell after another.
In just three minutes, twenty shells were fired.
Miles away!
Boom, a grenade finally hit the big ship in the middle.
