Port Abbas. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Open fire."

Zhu Xu, commander of the Persian Gulf task force of the Ming Army's Nanyang Fleet, said.

In the gun frame beside him, the gunner suddenly pulled the gun rope, and the deafening cannon sound suddenly sounded, and in a cloud of gunsmoke, the gun carriage of the steel monster-like twin five-inch guns retreated fiercely, and then was pulled by the complex ramp and spring mechanism, and the recoil was transmitted at the same time on the hull, the giant ship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons immediately moved sideways, and at the same time, the other guns also roared at very short intervals, and under the impetus of the recoil, the battleship moved out several feet horizontally, and the impact of the muzzle pressure created spectacular ripples on the sea surface.

"Battleship!"

Zhu Xu said proudly.

At the same time, in the distance in the port of Bandar Abbas, a Persian warship suddenly turned into a ball of fire.

Well, the Dingyuan at his feet.

This is the first actual combat of the battleship of the Ming Navy, but it is a pity that this sea, and even the entire Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, has no enemy that can be its opponent, not even a battleship that can withstand five-inch artillery shells, its only use is only to bombard the port, in fact, at this time there is no opponent in the whole world who can compete with it, this battleship is destined to spend a lonely life like those top masters.

"Kill chickens with a knife!"

Zhu Xu said with emotion.

Of course, the Persians on the shore certainly do not think so.

Sixteen Ming warships, including two battleships, began to bombard Abbas Harbor, and the terrifying five-inch guns turned the Persian navy into a pile of burning wreckage in less than ten minutes, and then the ferocious artillery fire began to extend towards the harbor. Pity those Zhen main warriors at this time all hiding in the barricades of Abbas City, waiting to fight with the landing Ming army, and as a result, more than 400 four-inch and five-inch cannons were bombarded, how could their thin civil fortresses withstand this level of artillery.

They were prepared against the Ming infantry.

However, the Ming army only had 36 four-inch guns in one army, and only the heavy artillery brigade under the army had two artillery battalions, and there was no artillery of this caliber at the brigade level, and as for the five-inch guns, there were no even at the army level, and only the train artillery and coastal defense artillery directly under the General Staff Headquarters had them. And this time the Persians had to face more than sixty five-inch cannons alone, and the entire city of Abbas was like an earthquake of magnitude 8, shattered in pieces in the terrifying explosion, and the poor warriors, who had not yet seen their enemies, were torn apart, buried alive, and shocked to death under the power of this god-like force, with blood coming out of their ears and noses, staring at the sky with dead eyes, as if asking what their gods were doing?

Why didn't their devout faith be duly rewarded?

In other words, more and more believers want to ask Lao Mu this question, after all, there are their god emperors behind the Ming army, and even their god emperors often take action in person, but what are you doing old man? Why haven't you shown up yet? Why allow your followers to be slaughtered? Why didn't a thunderbolt kill that demon? Or are you incapable, or you don't exist, you're just a ......

"False gods!"

Zhu Xu said disdainfully.

In the field of view of his telescope, a magnificent temple was shattering in the explosion of a five-inch shell.

"Commander, do you want to keep bombing?"

The officer next to him asked.

"Continue until you can't see a complete building."

Zhu Xu said.

"Continue until you can't see a complete building."

Thousands of miles away outside Avaz City, Yan Hu was also saying angrily.

Yan Jingluo is in a very bad mood, and it is difficult for people who have suddenly become major generals from lieutenant generals to have a good mood, especially when they are reprimanded by the holy decree, which means that the emperor is very dissatisfied with him, which also means that his future is worrying, and it is the Persians who caused all this, why can't they honestly welcome the Ming Dynasty to rule? Why can't they take the initiative to abandon their foolish beliefs? For this kind of stubborn fool, Yan Jinglu has to use cannons to speak.

Although he did not have a five-inch gun.

But he has something better.

Beside him stood six giant steel pipes that were obliquely supported on the ground, probably nearly a zhang long, but they were terrifyingly thick, an adult could definitely get into them, the mouth of the black hole pointed straight to the sky, and at the moment when his words fell, all the steel pipes tails at the same time surging smoke, followed by six black and heavy things as thick as small water tanks, dragging the blazing flames to fly out, rising at a speed that could be seen clearly by the naked eye, and soon reached the apex of the ballistic, and immediately fell down in a parabola after the flames disappeared, In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the city of Ahvaz.

Suddenly, like a volcanic eruption, six terrifying flames rose in the city, followed by a trembling of the earth and an earth-shattering loud sound at the same time.

"Ma, Lao Tzu has a foot."

Yan Jingluo said viciously.

He has a cannon of one foot in caliber......

Uh, rocket artillery.

Three-hundred-twenty-millimeter rocket artillery.

The shells weighed more than 700 catties, and a full 150 catties of wet cotton gunpowder were stuffed inside, although the firing range was only six miles, but it was enough in this era, at least the Persians with only smoothbore guns, and there were no weapons that could hit targets nearly four kilometers away. In fact, Emperor Yang originally wanted to simply make the Japanese 400-millimeter spray cannon, but later his general told him that the pressure on logistics was too great for thousands of kilograms of shells, and that a two-horse carriage could hold three 700-kilogram shells, but only two kilograms of heavy shells, and one in case of bad roads.

So it became three hundred and twenty millimeters.

But 320 mm can already be described as divine punishment, and the power of 150 pounds of wet cotton gunpowder is comparable to the 250 pounds of bombs that bombed warships in World War II, which is quite cruel to the buildings of this era.

"This is not bombardment, this is floor washing!"

On a reconnaissance airship in the sky, the Ming army scout looked at Ahvaz City below and said with a shocked expression.

What appeared in his field of vision was a completely spectacular sight, like throwing stones into a pool of calm water, the fiery red ring wave suddenly spread out in all directions, and on the periphery of the fiery red, there was an identical ring of dust, pushed away at a very fast speed, all the buildings in the circle touched were instantly leveled, and six such terrifying rings wiped out more than a tenth of Ahvaz's city at once, and then the gunsmoke mixed with the dust turned into a pillar of smoke and rose up, like a banner of victory.

On the positions outside the city, the soldiers of the heavy rocket artillery battalion of the heavy artillery brigade of the army were methodically hoisting one frightening shell after another with inverted chains and gantries to reload the six launch tubes for the next launch.

"My lord, look at the city wall."

An officer suddenly said to Yan Hu.

Yan Jingluo looked at the city wall, there was a white flag, it was obvious that the Ahvaz defenders were frightened by the power of a foot-heavy rocket, lost the courage to resist and asked for surrender, there is nothing strange in saying that, under such a ferocious blow, it would be strange if they could still hold on, the power of faith is not so big, and the gap between the two sides is completely beyond the solution of faith.

"What? Why didn't I see anything? ”

Yan Jing said in a serious way.

"Huh?"

The officer was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said with a ashamed face: "I'm sorry, my lord, that must be a dazzle." ”

"That's for sure."

Yan Jingwei nodded lightly.

"Do they think that's it?"

Then he looked at the six rising pillars of smoke and said with a sneer.

At this moment, the soldiers around him suddenly screamed, and then everyone raised their heads and looked up at the sky, because above their heads, I don't know when, suddenly a group of airships flew in, a total of twenty and all of them were the latest large airships with internal combustion engines, like a fleet sailing on the sea, divided into two teams, slowly coming on the blue sky, because the engine power was small, so the speed was not fast.

Of course, a hundred mph is still no problem.

Under the astonished gaze of the Ming soldiers below, these airships continued to fly over their heads, and soon reached the sky above Ahvaz, and then the speed began to slow down and gradually stopped, and one by one they were suspended less than a hundred feet above the city. These strange monsters soon alarmed the defenders in the city who wanted to cry without tears, and the Persians who saw this thing for the first time were stunned, and one by one they even forgot about the Ming artillery fire, and they all walked out of their hiding places, looking at the flying monsters overhead with shocked eyes.

Some even began to pray, on their knees.

And it was at this time that Yan Hu outside the city stopped the heavy rocket that was about to be launched.

Because at this time, in those airships, the Ming soldiers were picking up 50-pound bombs and putting them on the chutes one by one, while some other soldiers were putting fuses on the bombs erected on both sides of the inner wall of the airship cockpit, and with the orders of the captains on each airship, the soldiers who grabbed the tail of the bombs next to the chute immediately pushed forward, and the 20 bombs on the 20 airships fell with a whistling sound.

Well, this is a specialized bombing airship.

This thing has been remembered by those generals since the era of manpower airships, and they all know that snipers with rifles can snipe important targets in the sky, of course, they will not be unaware of throwing bombs from the sky, but the airships in the past were too small to carry, but with the internal combustion engine, this problem is solved.

Although these airships are still small, they can only carry a maximum of twenty fifty-pound bombs, but this is enough, the attack from the sky is more of a deterrent, when the hapless Persians in Ahvaz City lie down in the ruined city, watching the monsters in the sky tremble, the monsters also let out a terrifying roar as they imagined, and then the next moment is the magic flame of death.

This is God.

Irresistible gods of manpower! (To be continued.) )
