Chapter 412: The Red-Coated Cannon

Sakata led two steel warships in two ways, broke away from the Japanese fleet in two ways, and began to rush to the gun tower on the high ground on the pier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWith the determination to break the cauldron and sink the ship, he vows to complete the order of the princess of the Wako!

Suddenly seeing two coveted steel warships rushing towards him, Ye Shaolong's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, this big guy is definitely a sharp weapon at sea.

It would be a pleasure to be able to capture them, but unfortunately, such a big guy has more than 20 guns on each of them. They are all the most powerful red-coated cannons, extremely powerful, and in the face of such sharp artillery fire, it is almost impossible to capture such a warship.

But Ye Shaolong still wanted to try, and he turned around and asked Su Can behind him: "Is there a way to capture those two warships?" ”

Su Can's eyes were also flashing at this moment, but when he heard this, he shook his head: "This is impossible, we don't have any warships to match at sea, if they don't dock, we have no way to take this ship at all." Unless....... ”

"Unless what?" Ye Shaolong was full of hope, if there was a way to do it, he would be willing to try it even if he paid a certain price.

"Unless we surrender, then look at luck. If you're lucky, we'll be captured on those warships, and we'll be on the move. If you are unlucky, it is likely that you will accompany your wife to fold the soldiers, and the bamboo basket will be empty. Su Can's face was full of bitterness, such a chance was very slim.

If the pirates had been careful enough, they would not have taken prisoners on the warship so easily. So this approach is actually not feasible, the cost is not proportional to the opportunity, and it is not feasible.

Ye Shaolong pondered for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth but decided to try: "Immediately order the tower to come to see me, I won't be willing if I don't try." ”

Su Can looked at Ye Shaolong, and sighed helplessly and ordered the herald to call someone.

Soon the tower hurried over, clasped his fists and said, "What do you command?" ”

Ye Shaolong looked serious and said seriously: "Iron Tower, there is a very dangerous mission that you need to go to, do you dare?" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, the tower said: "The fire comes and the water goes, why don't you dare, please say, Dashuai!" ”

Ye Shaolong nodded with satisfaction and said, "You immediately select two hundred trustworthy brothers, and then wait to cooperate with Brother Su to act, and Brother Su will explain the rest of the things to you." The enemy ships are already approaching, go down and prepare! ”

Su Can and Tie Ta were ordered to retreat, and Ye Shaolong ordered the artillery battalion to evacuate the turret, leaving only two cannons to guard, and the rest of the people evacuated with him to the second line of defense, Li Chengke's defensive position.

One day at sea, Sakata felt more and more uneasy as the warships continued to approach the dock. When he was five hundred meters away, he kept his heart on his mind.

Knowing that the range of the Yejiabao army's artillery was within five hundred meters, although he came with the heart of death, but when he really faced it, he hesitated.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and fire and black smoke rose from the turret on the left, and a black cannonball smashed towards Sakata's warship at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Bang!"

The shell did not hit the warship, and sparks flew up two meters from the left side of the ship.

The warship was unharmed, and the ship shook only slightly, and then calmed down.

Sakata was stunned for a moment, then picked up a telescope to look at the turret on the left, and he quickly discovered the situation. There seemed to be only one cannon in the turret.

This discovery made Sakata ecstatic, if there was only one cannon, then he had nothing to worry about. As long as you rush to a distance of 300 meters, the cannon on the warship will come with a salvo, which is enough to destroy the turret in an instant.

"Full speed ahead, quick! All gunners were prepared, and the turret five hundred meters away was the primary target. As soon as it reaches a range of three hundred meters, the cannon is immediately fired. Sakata yelled one day and ordered the whole army to assault.

Without hesitation, the two warships advanced at full speed and headed straight for the turrets on both sides. The facts quickly proved Sakata's guess, and the turrets on both sides really only had two cannons.

Moreover, the two cannons only fired once every five minutes or so, and in the face of such firepower, Sakata had no fear.

The warship finally reached a range of 300 meters, and Sakata gave the order to open fire. In an instant, the rumbling sound continued, and the power of the red-coated cannon was indeed extraordinary.

With the sound of cannons, black solid iron bullets whistled and smashed into the turret, and after two salvos, the turret began to be unable to withstand the fierce bombardment and began to collapse.

The artillery on the turret did not return fire, and Sakata did not know that all the artillery of the Yejiabao army had already withdrawn before his warship attacked.

Now there is no one in the turret at all, and what Sakata bombed is only a turret with no people.

"Boom, boom......"

The cannon fire never stopped from the beginning, and Sakata was very faithful to carry out the orders of the princess. Vowed to raze the damned turret to the ground, it was his mission, and it was also his chance to vent the evil anger in his heart.

Ye Shaolong was in the second line of defense, holding a telescope and looking at the two Japanese warships pouring shells on the turret as if they were not paying for money. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "This widow seems to have a great grudge against our turret!" ”

Li Chengke put down the binoculars and echoed: "It's a pity that there are so many shells, you must pick them up afterwards, they are all solid shells." ”

Ye Shaolong smiled when he heard this: "Whatever, but who is this Japanese general, he seems to know a lot about the range of our cannon." They had been cautious at the time of five hundred meters just now, and it was not until they realized that there were only two cannons in the turret that they rushed forward without any scruples. ”

Li Chengke laughed and said, "What about him? As long as they don't find anything wrong. Now what? Just watch them continue to bomb indiscriminately? ”

Ye Shaolong retracted the binoculars: "Now it's time to watch the performance of Brother Su and the Iron Tower." ”

Sakata really razed the turrets on both sides to the ground one day before giving up, and when the artillery fire stopped, he saw that the two turrets made of granite had become a pile of ruins.

Sakata held his binoculars high for a day to observe the situation on the dock, hesitating whether to continue to dock. There was also the musket battalion of the Yejiabao Army on the shore, and the five tentative Daqing ships were still on the dock at the moment.

At this moment, a Japanese samurai said to Sakata Dayichi, "General, the princess has an order to let us continue to advance, bomb the docks, and land." ”

Sakata heard this, and after a little hesitation, he acted according to the orders of the princess, and the warship began to move slowly again.
