The wolf stuck out his tongue: "It's so powerful, it's just a cannon used in naval battles, is it a flowering bullet or a solid bullet?" ”

Xu Hai said with a smile: "If it is a ship, it is mainly to fire solid bullets, of course, it will explode when it hits, the purpose is to penetrate the opponent's ship board and sink the opponent's ship directly, but sometimes when the broadside battle begins, the opponent's people will jump onto our ship or fly over with a rope, at this time, it is necessary to pour iron nails and blades into the muzzle, and a cannon can kill and injure a large number of people." ”

The wolf's heart moved, and just behind him was the entrance to the lower cabin, and he looked back at the cabin below, and saw that the lower deck was the gun bay, and the cannon was sticking out of the black hole, and the gunners were hurriedly preparing, some were rubbing vigorously with a mop-like thing into the gun chamber, and more people were carrying boxes of shells and nail fragments to the side of the cannon.

Sky Wolf sighed softly: "I didn't expect this sea battle to be so exquisite, I originally thought that naval battle was just two ships ramming each other, and then the sailors rushed to each other's ships to fight hand-to-hand. ”

Xu Hai smiled and shook his head: "You were in the naval battle mode five hundred years ago, at that time there were no foreign guns and cannons, and the naval battles were all real swords and guns. Then you don't have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. ”

The Heavenly Wolf nodded, suddenly thought of something again, and asked, "Brother Xu." Doesn't it mean that you have that kind of super-war ship with five or six floors, which can carry one or two thousand people, and can also run horses? This ship is known as your best warship, why isn't it that big? ”

Xu Hai put away his smile and said, "What you said is the eight-ship giant ship, but in fact, that kind of ship is not too suitable for naval warfare, because that ship is too big." There are also a lot of people loading, so the speed and steering are not too flexible, you can also see. The current naval battles are all based on this long-distance artillery battle mode, and it is no longer the hand-to-hand combat that relied on the surge of people in the past. ”

"So we use that kind of eight-ship ship just to transport the landing soldiers, not as a warship, really to fight at sea. It depends on the black shark to have a shallow draft. In order to pursue the fastest speed, the ship with as few people as possible, and there are no sundries on the ship in normal times, and only before the battle can the necessary shells be carried on board. ”

The Celestial Wolf suddenly realized: "No wonder you can always win naval battles, this ship is a three-story warship, and the top layer is this deck." The middle layer is artillery, and the lower layer is the oarsman sailors? ”

Xu Hai nodded: "Exactly." The real lethal is the thirty-six twelve-pounder guns on the second floor, don't look at the fact that there are not many people on our ship, but there are eighty gunners, who have been staying on the second floor, and the solid shells fired are twelve pounds, which is almost equivalent to ten catties. So the deck is where we try to avoid confrontation with the enemy, and the ground here should be as slippery as possible, preferably so that the enemy soldiers cannot board the ship. ”

Sky Wolf glanced at Wang Zhi, who was manipulating the rudder at the bow of the ship, and his heart moved: "Then the owner of the ship Wang is steering and controlling the ship in front, won't the enemy soldiers fire all their fire at him, isn't this very dangerous?" ”

Xu Hai's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Indeed, the most dangerous thing on this ship is the boss, otherwise how can you call the captain, the captain has to lead a boatload of people in the most dangerous place, Sky Wolf, if there is a real fight for a while, you and I, as well as Haifeng, will stay by the boss's side and help him block bullets and artillery fire." ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "The lead from the enemy ship can be blocked because of the long distance, but how can the cannonball be blocked?" ”

Xu Hai said with a smile: "The enemy ships should use more solid bullets, do you see those big flags on the bow of the ship, when you pick up the big flags, and see the flying cannonballs, you can be lucky with the flag and roll up this solid bullet, so that it will not explode." ”

Sky Wolf laughed: "This method can be thought of for you, it's really powerful." It's just that this is still too dangerous, can't you let the owner of Wang change places to steer? ”

Xu Hai sighed: "The speed of this fast ship is the fastest on the sea, and it is enough to ride the wind and waves, so if the rudder position is behind, you will not be able to grasp the speed of the bow of the ship, and the vision will also be affected, but don't worry, the boss has driven this boat for decades and fought countless vicious battles, and it is impossible to fold on this group of clowns today." ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "What about Chen Sipan, the Shimazu clan, and the warships of the Franc man?" ”

Xu Hai Zhengse said: "The Shimazu clan's naval army is mostly transport ships, they are better than the iron cannons, the knife is fierce, and the land battle is powerful, but the water war is really not able to lift the chopsticks, there is no need to worry, and the Shimazu clan has always been the head of the family, Shimazu Takahisa, who has lived in the domain, sent several sons to the expedition, and the eldest son Shimazu Yoshihisa rarely goes to sea, and the most that comes out is the Shimazu Yoshihiro you see, at this time they are still on Shuangyu Island, and they should not participate in the naval battle." ”

"As for Chen Sipan, his ship is a Franc-style Spanish galleon Gale Wind, a five-story battleship, with more than 300 sailors, it is the kind of tall and mighty eight-ship warship you said, but there are only twenty eight-pounder guns, and the firepower and speed are far inferior to our black shark, he is used to using this kind of big ship to rob the big wooden sea ships of the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, because he can't sink these merchant ships, so he has always used such a big ship to pick up the gangside, and today we will teach him what is the real naval battle."

"As for the Franc man, it's a bit troublesome, and now the boss and I are most worried about it, that is, I don't know if the Franc man is some stragglers who have taken the benefits of Yan Shifan this time, and get some armed clippers to come over to rob, or send out the ocean-going fleet in Luzon, if it is their governor Rodriguez in Luzon and comes with a warship, it will be very annoying, and the Franc man-man ship is strong and sharp. is completely different from Chen Sipan's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the main warships are all Spanish galleons, four to five floors. There were often seventy or eighty cannons with five masts in the front and rear, and the Rodriguez's ship, the Mière, was a seven-story giant ship with seven masts, four hundred sailors, and one hundred and six twelve-pound guns. It is the strongest warship in the entire East China Sea. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Hai's expression became very strict, and his two fists were clenched tightly.

Sky Wolf's brows also furrowed: "Thirty-six cannons fight eighty cannons." The three-story ship beats the seven-story boat, and a hundred sailors fight four hundred people, which is too great, and the black shark encounters this destroyer. I'm afraid there is no chance of winning. ”

Xu Hai suddenly laughed. Shook his head: "No, Sky Wolf, you are wrong, naval battles are not calculated like this, firepower and numbers are only secondary, the most important thing is speed, although the destroyer is huge, but it is clumsy." Far less nimble than us, the Black Shark has also fought with the five-story galleon of the Franc Robot before. The tactic used is to suddenly accelerate from the side of the enemy ship to rush over, rush over the 10,000 guns in unison, at the fastest speed to shoot two to three cannons, a salvo is enough to paralyze the kind of five-story ship, because the draft of the enemy ship is too deep, their shells can not hit the black shark below the waterline, so we have an advantage in fighting, if you are lucky, a shock can make the enemy ship lose its combat effectiveness. ”

The sky wolf breathed a sigh of relief, but he thought of something again, and his expression became stern again: "It's just that two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the tiger is invincible to the wolves, we are now this black shark, but they have so many warships, just when I looked, there are no less than 100 warships shelling Shuangyu Island alone, only us, can we handle it?" ”

Xu Hai laughed, and was arrogant: "Sky Wolf, you remember, the purpose of our attack this time is not to destroy the entire enemy fleet, but to make the fastest counterattack after losing Shuangyu Island, so this time we only want to sink Chen Sipan, or Rodriguez's ship, and then quickly evacuate, and when it is dawn, we will meet with the brothers who rushed to the rescue. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "Are there still people on Shuangyu Island who are resisting now?" So a strong castle, just lost? If you want to take it back at that time, I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

Mao Haifeng's grinning rough voice sounded from behind the wolf: "Hmph, you don't have to worry about this." This time we were killed by traitors, and most of our father-in-law's guards were bought by traitors and rebelled, but fortunately, the hundreds of old brothers who were guarding the main city were loyal and reliable, and they desperately dragged these dog thieves and bought time for our father-in-law to escape.

When the wolf went to the island, he casually asked whether the guards of these widows and the Francosis were loyal, and it was just a joke at the time, but I didn't expect it to be right, and my heart was gloomy, only to see Mao Haifeng's expression fierce as a ghost, his eyes were blood-red, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Xu Hai patted Mao Haifeng's shoulder and said, "Haifeng, the past is over, it's nothing, this time you have damaged the good brother of the guard, as long as you can pass this level, the boss will definitely make up for you." ”

Mao Haifeng's steel teeth were gritted, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire: "I don't think about supplementing things, I just need to dig out the hearts of Chen Sipan and Shimazu Yoshihiro with my own hands and pay tribute to the souls of my brothers!"

At this time, the wolf suddenly felt that the light in front of him was bright, and then turned his head, only to see that the ship had opened a long island secret hole, this several miles of waterway led straight to the southwest of the island, from a secret exit, the exit was camouflaged with drooping seaweed, covered with canvas, from a distance it looked almost the same color as the reef, the black shark suddenly broke through the canvas, out of the hole, the wolf only felt a gust of wind and waves, the bow of the ship slammed down, a huge wave hit, the whole person was drenched, Barely able to stand, he hurriedly lifted his breath, and his feet seemed to have taken root on the deck, and he did not move.

I saw that the sky had begun to brighten at this time, and in the morning fog of dawn, I saw in the distance that the sea was brightly lit three or four miles away, and hundreds of ships were slowly approaching Shuangyu Island, and the sound of guns and shouts on the island was still clearly audible through the sound of the wind and waves that shook the sky.

Sky Wolf glanced back at the stone Japanese-style castle on the Twin Peaks, and the main castle tower towering high, which was already burning with fire. Like a huge torch, it lit up the entire dim sky, and it had been at least two or three hours since the initial explosion of the arsenal. And the sound of explosions was still intermittent, mixed with the rhythmic sound of musket fire, which came from time to time.

The wolf sighed: "It looks like there are still people in the castle tower who are resisting, and the enemy army still hasn't captured the entire fortress. ”

Mao Haifeng said hatefully: "Of course, the fortress that my father-in-law has been running for many years is so strong, even if there are internal ghosts. Even if a strong enemy attacks, it can still resist at least a day and a night, if you don't have to rush out and drive the Black Shark to counterattack. We can still hold the castle tower firmly. ”

Xu Hai's brows furrowed: "It seems that the Shimazu family's musket team has all gone up, you listen to the sound of these foreign guns, this is the unique rhythm of the Shimazu family's fishing and wild shooting, Haifeng." How many more people are there in the Guard? I don't think it will last long. ”

Mao Haifeng punched the bottom of the thick mast on the side. "When we came out, there were less than a hundred brothers, they were all good, and the captain Li Xingshui who stayed behind said that when there was only one person left, he would also detonate all the gunpowder on the top floor of the castle, and the gunpowder and cannons in the castle would never be left to fight the father-in-law!"

While talking. Suddenly, the castle tower erupted with a loud bang, and the sky shattered. The wolf clearly saw the top of the burning cauldron, like a burning lid, flew directly into the sky, and then shattered into thousands of pieces in the air, and fell to the ground one after another, and the Shimazu musketeers who were originally densely surrounded in front of the castle tower were in a commotion, and they didn't care about lining up to put their guns on it anymore, they all turned around and ran back, the scene was indescribably chaotic and wolf.

Xu Hai's face changed, and he muttered, "This is ......"

Two lines of tears flowed down Mao Haifeng's face unconsciously, this fierce-looking, iron-like man actually began to cry, while crying, he kept beating his chest, shouting one name after another, and the sad look made the wolf feel sympathetic.

Wang Zhizhi didn't reply, but his voice came from a distance of more than twenty steps, through the wind and waves that kept crossing the deck: "Cry what you cry, death is dead, they won't survive if you cry again, it's a man who avenges them and kills Chen Sipan!"

Mao Haifeng woke up like a dream, wiped his tears heavily with his sleeve, lifted his vajra with one hand with his right hand, and held a shield with his left hand, walked to Wang Zhi's side, and did not speak, and began to raise the shield on guard.

Xu Hai glanced at the wolf: "Haifeng is responsible for the defense of the innermost circle, covering the boss with a shield, you and I will roll the cannonballs with the big banner outside, as for those lead bullets, with your and my protective strength, it is enough to resist." ”

When he said this, he glanced at the injury on the shoulder of the wolf, and frowned: "When you were fighting with the swordsman of the Shimazu family just now, the wound on your right shoulder was cracked again, does it matter?" ”

Sky Wolf laughed, patted his right shoulder, and said confidently: "The wound medicine left by Iga Tianchang is extremely effective, and I don't feel it anymore at this time, and my luck is normal, don't worry." ”

Xu Hai nodded, looked at the enemy fleet in the fog in the distance, and suddenly his face changed slightly: "The Destroyer is also there, and sure enough, Rodriguez personally led the main warship to support Chen Sipan, hmph, it seems that this time Yan Shifan's capital is really a lot, and even the Franco can buy it." ”

The wolf also looked over, only to see that in the vast white fog, there was a flickering light, which was particularly dazzling, and the foggy enemy ships lit torches in order to prevent them from colliding with each other, and the light was obviously a lot higher than the other ships, that is, it was at least twice as tall as his current Black Shark ship, and it was a six-story giant ship, which looked like it must be the first giant ship in the Far East.

Sky Wolf smiled: "This destroyer is so conspicuous, it's just that Chen Sipan's ship, that is, the eight-ship ship, how can it be locked in this foggy day?" ”

Xu Hai carefully glanced at the lights flickering in the distance, and still shook his head: "Chen Sipan is a ghost, this time there is no fire, probably because he is afraid that we will take advantage of the fog to attack, so he would rather risk colliding with his own people than expose himself, hmph, no matter him, first sink the destroyer." As long as the main ship of the Franc machine sinks, the morale of the enemy army will drop by more than half. ”

Wang Zhi's laughter also came: "Ah Hai, you are right, if the Franc machine man does not come, it will naturally give priority to the Sea Dragon that Chen Sipan will fight, but now that Rodriguez has personally gone out, the first target of attack will be changed to him, this group of Franc machine people have long taken a fancy to our territory, even if they don't have this opportunity, they will start a war with us sooner or later, and if we fight today, we will defeat the ambitions of these Westerners against us!"

Sky Wolf's brows furrowed slightly, and he whispered to Xu Hai: "Brother Xu, if you kill all the admirals of the Franc Robot here and sink the ship, will the Franc Robot still do business with you in the future?" And on the Japanese side, the Shimazu family has become a mortal enemy with you this time, and I'm afraid that the business over there will not be easy to do in the future. ”

Xu Hai smiled and waved his hand: "Sky Wolf, you don't understand these barbarians, they won't talk to you about benevolence, righteousness and morality, they will only see if you have the strength, if you show weakness and don't fight back, but go to beg them, then they will only kill you even more, only by resolutely repelling their attacks on our side, and even further attacking their territory, will they be weak-hearted, afraid, take the initiative to seek peace, and even do business and dare not bargain with us."
