Chapter 252: Fierce Battle in Pinghai Harbor (II) (Second Update, Come On!) )
PS: Sleepy, come before 12 o'clock (come to a chapter). Dongfang Duo is especially grateful for the generous rewards of HI onion head and moon song night dance! Thank you!
Captain Weddell shouted, 'All left rudder!' ’;
The Queen of the Dragon slowed down slowly, and the hull of the ship turned to the left on the surface of the sea, exposing the starboard side;
Seeing the movements of the flagship 'Dragon', the other three ships 'Catherine', 'Sun', and 'Annie' also immediately followed, and the hull slowly turned to the left—
Although the Queen's ship was 'light' at the time, the entire array was deformed, and it took a long time-
At this moment, Zhang Yanzhi on the beach beat his chest and paused, if only he brought a cannon!
In his YY, the sluggish Western Fleet has been sunk one by one by his 'Armstrong Gyro Acceleration Jet Cannon'. (from Gintama)
The four sailing ships lined up on the sea, and they all put the right side against the flat harbor;
Then, the four boats released countless small boats, like a hundred birds out of the nest, and like a school of fish out of the sea, it was magnificent.
Two neat rows of wooden oars stretched out from the boat, and the sailors were rowing hard, rushing towards the flat harbor one by one:
There were thinly clothed sailors on the boat;
There were pikemen wearing helmets and cuirasses;
There are musketeers in splendid costumes;
There were also guns removed from the port side of the ship
When the boats were far away, the starboard side of the four Western galleons suddenly opened a row of gun ports, and from them came a hideous cast-iron cannon—
Captain Weddell on the flagship Dragon once again gave a loud order, 'Fire! ’;
The starboard side of the Dragon, from bow to stern, lit up with reddish-orange fire;
Just hear the sound of 'bang', 'bang', 'bang', 'bang' sounded continuously, and the 12 9-pounder guns on its upper deck opened fire—
The 'Dragon' across the sea suddenly staggered backwards;
It's a salvo. The recoil is even more impressive!
At the moment of the shelling, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. Soon the entire hull was obscured, and only the mast and sail could be faintly seen;
But soon. In the smoke of gunpowder, the 'Dragon' lit up with reddish-orange flames from the stern to the bow;
And a second wave of cannons sounded, this time louder than the last time, only the loud sound of 'boom', 'boom', 'boom', 'boom', 'boom', and the six 18-pounder guns on the second deck of the 'Dragon' opened fire—
Almost at the same time, two smaller Queen's ships, the Catherine and the Sun, each with 10 9-pounder guns and 5 18-pounder guns on their starboard side, were also fired;
The schooner 'Anne' also joined in the fun, and its four 9-pounder guns and two 18-pounder guns on the starboard side also opened fire almost simultaneously
In this way, 4 Western galleons and 54 cannons lined up on the surface of the sea, and at the same time let out a terrifying roar, and the smoke almost obscured the sea and sky
The artillery is fierce, and the shells flying out at high speed are even more menacing;
Just for a moment. 54 solid bullets have reached the top of Pinghai Harbor -
Immediately, 50 jets of water were splashed on the shallow water;
At the same time, 4 iron balls smashed into the beach, sweeping everything in the trajectory in an invincible way, plowing four obvious marks on the beach
It's a pity that these 4 shells didn't hurt anyone on Zhang Yanzhi's side;
Because the 100 hundred households and the 200 private teams were all shrunk in the anti-artillery trench under the leadership of Zhang Yanzhi;
The anti-artillery trench was dug on the beach next to the pier, horizontally parallel to the beach, 0.8 meters wide, 600 meters long and 1.8 meters deep, supported by wooden planks on both sides of the trench;
That is, on average, each person dug a pit of 0.8 meters x 2 meters x 1.8 meters -
The sand below 40cm was wet and difficult, so Zhang Yanzhi had to take out a steel catalpa to solve the problem;
When you dig underneath, you dig out the seawater, soak in the seawater and ambush?
Bad review! How can it be?
Zhang Yanzhi had to take out the pump to pump water again
In the end, Zhang Yanzhi also issued a steel helmet to everyone. Result –
it! The opposite side is a solid bullet, you wear a pot lid to use P on top!
Just when Zhang Yanzhi stretched out his head triumphantly and wanted to mock the other party's inaccurate artillery shooting-
The lookouts on the masts of the main masts of the Wild Flotilla had observed through the smoke the location (landing point) of the water column generated by the first round of artillery fire—
They quickly relayed the signal to the captain to adjust the muzzle of the gun through gestures, and the captain relayed it to the gunner
Soon, the second shell was installed and everything was ready!
Wild shouted again: "Fire! ”
4 Western galleons and 54 cannons fired again!
Rows of fires appeared again in the smoke. And then there was the sound of cannons—
"Dig back-" Zhang Yanzhi, who had just poked his head out, was startled, and quickly retracted his head;
Fortunately, he shrank quickly, and the next moment a hot buckshot flew over his head. There was a hot gust of wind;
"It's dangerous!" Zhang Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief;
He wouldn't be stupid enough to use a level 3 energy shield to carry a cannonball, so he would probably be able to explode the health bar at once!
"Ahem—" Just as he wanted to say something to resolve the embarrassment—
The sound of 'buzzing' sounded continuously. A few more shells flew over the trench and landed in the rear;
The shot put that landed at high speed hit the sand and made a trail. It also brought up countless sands and soil-
The huge vibration and the splashed sand made Zhang Yanzhi, who was avoiding the cannon, all of them discouraged, and coughed again and again;
The second wave of shelling of the Wild flotilla was calibrated and turned out to be much more accurate than the first!
The same 54 guns only fired 45 water columns, and the remaining 9 guns all hit the docks and beaches;
Although the shells that landed ashore also flew indiscriminately, they also caused heavy blows and huge damage to Pinghai Wharf:
The wooden pier archway was brought down with one shot;
The wooden plank road in the sea was cut off by a cannon;
The wooden pier floor was riddled with shells
The second wave of shelling passed like this;
"Li Yunhu and Ma 13 reported losses ——?" Zhang Yanzhi asked nervously, even he almost got the bento himself, and he didn't know if it would work to avoid the cannon hole.
"There were no casualties in the smuggling team, but one was scared of and one of pee—" Li Yunhu quickly squeezed through the narrow trench and reported;
Hearing Li Yunhu's words and seeing his unbearable appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing;
But it is such a joke that greatly alleviates everyone's psychological fear and puts down their normal heart.
"There are no casualties in the 100 households, no and no urine!" At this time, Ma 13 also arrived, he hurriedly reported, and added a ridiculous word to himself.
But although the fear is gone, hiding in the hole and being beaten passively is still very unpleasant and aggrieved (to be continued.) )
