Chapter 010: Annihilation
The second cannon was an eight-oared boat belonging to Zhuo Shijie's pirate gang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The medium-tonnage Guangdong ship, under the blow of the 130-mm gun, could barely struggle for a while, and the eight-oared boat was directly blown apart.
In just an instant, it was blown apart and wiped out on the spot.
The middle-aged man who was originally high-spirited and led the team to exterminate the pirates of Half Moon Island was shocked after seeing the power of this cannon with his own eyes.
At this time, artillery was still the era of solid bullets.
The two armies faced each other, and both sides drove their ships and sailed across and vertically, looking for the most appropriate angle, aiming the flanks of their own ships at the enemy fleet, and then firing and firing their cannons.
The sound of these cannons is amazing, the sound is like thunder, but the cannonballs that can be fired are solid iron bumps.
These iron bumps, if they are on a land battlefield, can rely on ricochets to smash enemy soldiers to the maximum.
On the sea, the role of these shells is to break through the hull of the enemy ship, kill and injure the soldiers on the enemy ship, in short, one word: smash!
Due to the lack of rifling, the accuracy of these guns was naturally unsatisfactory, and firing them was not based on technology, but on luck.
The shells on both sides were flying all over the sky, and most of them missed, and even if they were lucky enough to hit the enemy ship, they could only hope to achieve a single shot, at most they would just smash a few people to death or smash a few ship boards.
How have they ever seen a shell filled with explosives! And it's so accurate!
Moreover, these advanced shells are divided into armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, armor-fragmenting shells, anti-personnel shells, explosive shells, incendiary bombs and many other types.
Centuries of technological gaps, how can middle-aged people figure it out!
In his opinion, the flying cannonball must be as big as a millstone, weighing thousands of catties, otherwise, how can it smash a boat with one shot!
What's even more incredible is that from such a distance, how did the opponent manage to hit with one hit?
Amazing! The opponent's gunners must be blessed by God!
"The wind is tight, it's!" The middle-aged man, who has always been calm in trouble, encountered such a strange and terrible strange thing, and his legs trembled with fright at this time, his face was as white as paper, not only his voice was out of tune, but even the black words he said when he was a bandit on land slipped out.
He didn't dare to imagine that with such a large cannonball, he would still be able to leave a few pieces of minced meat.
The short captive beside him had already realized that he would die, but he didn't panic at this time, he pointed to Half Moon Island a few miles away, and said: "If you want that 100,000 catties of heavy artillery, I'm afraid it can shoot at least ten miles away, and if you want to escape at this time, I'm afraid it's more difficult than climbing to the sky!" ”
If it was usual, just by virtue of the sentence of the captive, the middle-aged man would have slaughtered him and fed the fish, but now, the middle-aged man didn't care about him at all.
Escape matters!
Even if he knew that he couldn't escape, the instinct to survive still gave him the illusion that he still had a glimmer of life.
While the only remaining Cantonese boat was busy turning around and fleeing for its life, there was cheers on Half Moon Island.
"Hit again! This shot hit again! ”
"The big leader didn't lie to us, this giant cannon really hit every shot!"
"It's amazing to be able to hit every shot from such a distance!"
The first hit may be luck, and the second hit is definitely not luck.
However, everyone was very surprised, with such a high degree of accuracy, how did the strangely dressed gunner Jiang Dacang do it?
The second master, Hong Zhi, didn't shake the fan, and directly put his face under Zhuo Shijie's nose, and asked slammedly: "Big boss, dare to ask, this gunner, how did he make the giant cannon so accurate?" ”
Zhuo Shijie said with a smile: "It's hard to say that this matter is difficult, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult!" ”
Hong Zhi almost arched his forehead to Zhuo Shijie's eyebrows: "What's the explanation?" ”
Zhuo Shijie coughed lightly and began to use the time of the battle to give a lecture to everyone.
"If you want the cannonball to be accurate, you have to take into account the distance between the two sides, the speed of movement and the direction of movement of both sides, and at the same time estimate the wind speed, and since the cannon is on the top of the mountain, you must also consider the difference between the height of the two sides......"
Zhuo Shijie spoke for a while, using his half-baked military knowledge to popularize shooting knowledge to everyone.
These pirates are not all rough and stupid, they know a little about Zhuo Shijie's words, and some of them can still understand them.
The one with the highest IQ here is Hong Zhi.
He didn't expect that firing a cannon would be so cumbersome, that Jiang cannon, how did he knead all the factors that needed to be considered, and then formed a correct and only muzzle direction?
When the muzzle of the cannon falls on the surface of the sea, it may be several feet or even dozens of feet wrong.
To be able to do this is really a man of God.
What Hong Zhi admired most at this time was not their big leader Zhuo Shijie, but the gunner Jiang Cannon.
The reason why Zhuo Shijie explained this knowledge to them was to lay a foundation for the future, and if they didn't instill this knowledge in them as soon as possible, they would all have to become waste in the future. In the future, these people are all people who want to use modern weapons, which can be regarded as teaching them how to shoot in advance.
At the same time, he is also giving them a clear idea, saving them from thinking of him and his cannon as monsters.
Before Zhuo Shijie's class was finished, someone shouted again.
"Look, the enemy ship is fleeing!"
On the sea, the Cantonese ship had already begun to turn around.
Liu Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Quick! The big boss, can't let him escape! ”
Hong Zhi also said: "Yes, let the tiger return to the mountain, and there will be trouble!" ”
Zhuo Shijie looked at the Guangdong ship that was trying in vain to escape beyond the range of the cannon, and suddenly felt that it was like a small insect in his bottle, looking very pitiful.
It seems as if he had done nothing himself, but dozens of lives had already been lost in his own hands.
The feeling of killing people is not very good, but he has no choice.
There will be times when I don't kill, but people will kill me.
From today on, the good gentleman in his previous life will never return.
In that case, let's start a new life!
Zhuo Shijie's expression was solemn, he slowly raised his hand, and said, "Fire!" ”
There was another earth-shattering bang, and with a sharp whistle, the shell came out of its disembowel and shot straight into the sea.
On the Guangdong ship, the short captives were rushing to Half Moon Island and chanting: "Big boss, I was wrong!" If you knew this, why bother listening to those stupid boys and harming your own life! If there is an afterlife, I would like to ......"
At this time, the bow of the ship had been turned around, and the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he accelerated, he might be able to save his life.
Listening to the captive's rambling, the middle-aged man finally lost his patience, and he walked up to the captive in two steps and kicked him to the ground.
"Damn! We'll see how Grandpa concocts you later! I want you to live, not death! It's all your bad luck, it's not good for grandpa to be a teacher! ”
The captive opened his mouth wide and laughed stupidly: "Look! Look at the hills over there! ”
The middle-aged man was shocked, and as soon as he turned around, he felt an infinite force, an infinitely high temperature, which instantly swallowed his body.
The Battle of Half Moon Island is over for the Black Whirlwind!
