As the distance between the two groups of ships was reduced to within the range of the small guns, the intensity of the war began to rise dramatically. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiao Tian Their other ships except the Sunshine Sonny and Xiao Xian's main fleet were not equipped with Hongwu cannons, and Xiao Tian was a lighter and shorter Tiger Squat Cannon.

This kind of tiger squat cannon is the main force of the war at that time, his weight is lighter, and the muzzle of the cannon is only the size of a bowl, it is the field artillery of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and Zhang Jing also had a large number of equipment to the army when he resisted the Japanese.

Compared with the Hongwu cannon, its firing range is shorter, only a pitiful more than five hundred steps, and then it can only shoot from the back, similar to the arquebus, the cannonball can not hit a big iron ball, it is usually filled with some small stones, and then put a lead bullet weighing about two catties on it, it is not powerful to hit the ship, it can't be penetrated, but the power is still very good when it hits the deck, the stones inside can bloom and collapse in all directions, although it can't kill people, it can be collapsed and lose its combat effectiveness for a short time.

Xiao Xian's fleet has only one on each 'big ship', which is a little pitiful compared to Xiao Tian's ten doors per search. However, they used the Franco cannon, which was the Spanish cannon at that time, which was bought from Wang Zhi.

The caliber of the Franc cannon is smaller than that of the Hongwu cannon, and the firing range is also shorter, not that the current Spanish technology is inferior to the early years of the Ming Dynasty, but the design concept is different. The Franc cannon was originally a naval artillery, and the Hongwu cannon was his mother's siege artillery! Except for the Sunshine Sonny, who the fuck can put siege guns on board!

Compared with the tiger squat cannon on the small heavenly ship, the weight of the Franc cannon is a little heavier, and the firing range is a little farther, almost about 700 steps, what is more excessive is that the Franc cannon is a sub-mother cannon, although the number is small, but we shoot fast, on average Xiaotian their tiger squat cannon shoots one round, and people can shoot three rounds.

At this time, the experience of the sailors on the ship is very important, Xiao Tian and their ships are actually above Xiao Xian and them in all aspects, and the artillery occupies a numerical advantage, so it stands to reason that they should crush Xiao Xian and them, but the result is a little unexpected.

Although Xiaotian did have an advantage, the advantage was not as big as expected. In addition to ships and guns, there is another very important factor in naval battles: sailors!

It must be admitted that Xiao Xian's men were far above Xiao Tian and them in terms of experience in driving ships, and they tried their best to control the distance of the ship to about 600 paces, so that Xiao Tian could only waste shells in vain, and their Franc machine guns were just enough to hit.

Rumble! A Franc cannon hit the waterline of a ship in Xiaotian. The raging waters rushed in.

"Hurry, block it, block it" On the boat is a hundred households of the Beiwei army, fortunately, Xiaotian and their team have been prepared for this situation, and hurriedly took out a huge shield to block the mouth.

"Damn, there's no way, send a flag message to the Sunshine Sonny, we're injured, ask to return for repairs"

Of course, Xiao Xian and they are more uncomfortable than Xiaotian at this time, the number of tiger squat cannons is too much, and the rumbling is full of water splashes they make, although no cannonball can be lucky to kiss the waterline, but this number is too much, each cannon also brought out more than 200 small stones, said to be small stones, there are also walnuts big, and then Xiaotian they simply shot half back, hundreds of tiger squat cannons, one two hundred, so that Xiao Xian's head simply rained stones, Xiao Xian's shield was not enough, so they could only dodge everywhere, Many unlucky people were squeezed into the sea.

Many people were hit by the stone rain and their heads were bleeding, "Master, this can't work, let's take the side"

Xiao Xian said, "Chen Dong's people haven't come yet?"

"No, oops!" As he spoke, the little brother was hit by another pebble, which hit the door of the head.

"Damn, I can't wait, tell everyone with the flag, take the side battle"

On the other side, Xiaotian, "Boss, brother ships are all flag-raising and saying that there are not many shells" There is also a disadvantage of having too many artillery, that is, the ammunition is wasted too quickly.

"Well, let's take the board"

In the naval battles of the sixteenth century, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the whole world relied on the battle to determine the victory and defeat, and artillery could only play an auxiliary role after all, and could only influence, not determine the overall situation.

The two masters gave the order to engage in broadside battle almost simultaneously, and the distance between the two fleets quickly narrowed. Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps!

The Sunshine Sunny Sunny was unstoppable, rushing into the enemy camp with a posture of no one else. Xiao Xian ordered the siege of the Sonny, but the brothers below could only say, "The concubine can't do it"

Xiao Xian's so-called 'big ship' is like a little chicken compared to the Sunshine Sonny, colliding with convection, and they can't even slow down the Sunshine Sonny.

You cow B, let's walk around you. Xiao Xian's sailors were experienced and planned to walk around the Sonny.

Of course not, Xiao Tian slapped them hard with the cruel truth.

You must know that the Sunshine Sonny has to look down when it is close to Xiao Xian's medium-sized ships, so of course, the cannon shots are all fired with the muzzle slightly downward. Far away, the cannon is not accurate, but you have passed by, how can I let you go, so, since the start of the war, the Hongwu cannon, which has only fired one salvo, opened fire again.

You must know that when Zheng He went to the West, the reason why he installed the Hongwu cannon with a large weight and slow rate of fire on the ship made sense, and it was at this time that he waited. The cannonballs hit Xiao Xian's enemy ship diagonally from top to bottom, because the distance was shortened, the hit rate was also greatly improved, and the solid big iron ball hit the deck obliquely from above, blowing out a big hole, entering the sea from the bottom of the ship, and a single shot could penetrate a medium-sized enemy ship, how big is the water pressure at the bottom of the ship, the fountain-like sea water will spray from the bottom to the top, and it can't be blocked at all.

Therefore, all the ships that came a little closer to the Sunshine Sonny were brutally subjected to a head-to-toe 'baptism', and it was enough to sink a ship without eight rows of volleys. All enemy ships passing by the Sunshine Sonny are sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Your sister! You're a fucking bug. How the fuck is this fighting.

"Wave the flag, tell everyone to avoid it, and fight the boat behind him first. Damn Chen Dong, you are a son of a bitch, if you don't come again, Lao Tzu will have to explain here."

Of course, you can't get around it if you want to, although the Sunshine Sonny is big, the speed is not slow at all, the tiger enters the wolf pack and chases Xiao Xian and they fight, Xiao Xian They dodge one after another, there are still several ships taken away by him, and even many boats kissed themselves in order to avoid themselves, and were directly ridden up by the Sunshine Sonny and pressed into the sea. That's right, it's riding up, and Lao Tzu is bullying the small with the big.

You say more than 600 small boats? What the hell are they here for? When I walked past you, the splash on my side was enough to drown you.

In fact, they are useless, their only role is to get close to the medium-sized warship of Xiaotian when they are engaged in broadside battles, hook the boat gang with a rope with a hook, and climb up with difficulty with a knife.

But today they don't have that chance.
