The next day, the Kaitai arrived at the scheduled exercise waters...... About three miles away from them, there was a small island about five kilometers away from Fangyuan that appeared in everyone's field of vision, that was the goal of their trip, and there were some ships moored around the island......

'General Deng' Our first exercise was to bombard a fixed target, and a master craftsman with five stars embroidered on his robe pointed to a small island in the distance, on which many fortresses, walls, and beachheads had been built......

After the first round, we will bombard the moving targets, that is, the ships that are moored on the sea, and when the time comes, these ships will anchor and then move along the sea, and our purpose will be to test the combat ability of the ships on the move.

What is the effective firing range of the Shenwei cannon?.Deng Peng asked

'About two miles' above this distance, you can have a peak bombardment fixed target, if it is a mobile target, the distance may be closer, so that it will be more sure to aim, the master said......

'Aiming at the moving target' will be very difficult!.Deng Peng frowned

'We have experimented with a whole set of aiming methods' is effective, and if the sailors study hard, they will be able to master it......

"Your set of methods is tested on land" sea operations, the wind and waves are quite strong, this set of methods does not work, you have to see the know, if there is a problem, I also hope that after this test, you can find a suitable method for aiming at sea, Deng Peng said

The general said, 'The master bows down', and we will pay attention.

Pointing to the island, Deng Peng said: 'The distance is almost there'Let's start!.

Two miles from the island, the huge hull of the Kaitai began to turn, and the port side was aimed at the island......

.Get ready! 'A craftsman with a red flag in his hand' stood on the high platform and shouted loudly

Twenty-five windows on the side were pushed open at the same time, and the muzzles of the black holes poked out of the windows with hideous faces......

.Aim! 'A few craftsmen at each muzzle are starting to get busy,' the angle of the cannon began to adjust......

.Shoot! 'Red Flag Falls' Twenty-five torches stretched out towards the bow line, and a fiery red quickly extended until it disappeared into the tailstock of the Kamui cannon.

There was a loud bang in the sky, and in a second apart, the huge hull of the Kaitai slammed backwards, and the giant Mac was bombarded by more than 20 cannons at the same time, and the powerful recoil pushed back about ten meters, and the first deck was no longer clear.

Even standing on the deck of the fifth floor, this huge sound still made Deng Peng's ears buzz, and for a while, he couldn't hear anything, and his face changed greatly like a star

When the smoke cleared, Deng Peng looked at the first deck, the sailors of the Kaitai on the armor had dull faces, most of them sat down on the deck, and some even squatted on the ground with their hands and ears, all of them were pale, and some people didn't expect the power to be so huge, they were unstable on the ship, and they fell to the ground heavily, knocking their heads and bleeding......

Deng Peng looked at the small island outside the two places, which was already unrecognizable, and the previous city wall had been beaten to pieces, and the woods above were even more ablaze

It's just a round of shooting, Deng Peng shouted in his heart

The great general!.The master next to the master said: This is a solid bullet specially used for attacking the fortified city wall, the fortress is the most practical in naval battles, and it is also very effective to hit the opponent's hull, a ship suffers a lot, it will inevitably sink, if it breaks his keel, it is possible to break it into two parts, and there is a flowering bullet that specializes in killing, which and the shell will explode after it is shot, and the broken iron will be the soldier's life-destroying talisman When we tested in Dingfangzhou, even Dingzhou's self-produced plate armor could not completely block the bombardment of this shrapnel……

'Good stuff' good stuff! Deng Peng had already reacted at this time, "No wonder the lord talked about the Shenwei cannon, his eyebrows fluttered, it was really a weapon of the country, if every warship was equipped with this kind of cannon, where the Dingzhou Sailor passed, who could stop it?"

'General' Next we're going to bombard moving targets, Master Craftsman

'Okay' let me take a good look at your results...... In the distance, the ships that were ready to be used as targets lifted anchor and began to move down the water, followed by several small boats that left the targets, and the soldiers on the target ships began to evacuate, and the Kaitai began to chase the drifting ships......

The wind and waves at sea are not small, and the Kaitai is still very stable because of its huge hull enough to resist this and degree of wind and waves, but the standard ships in the distance are only some small boats of about 3,000 materials, which rise and fall in such wind and waves.

.Get ready!.

.Aim!.

.Shoot!.

The previous procedure began to be repeated, but once the sailors on board were on guard, and one by one they pricked their ears tightly and took steady steps under their feet.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and the technician who was shooting on the ship had no time to watch the shooting of the fruit, so he hurriedly began the second round of training, clearing, and medicating...... Anti-solid, reloaded, methodical.

The sea breeze quickly blew away the smoke screen, the Kaitai sailed out of the smoke screen, looking at the sea, Deng Peng's brows couldn't help frowning, a mile away, the three target ships were still floating on the water in a daze, only one ship was lit with flames, it seems that the twenty-five major artillery bombardments of rowing, only this one ship was hit by a shell, and this and the degree of fire, if there are sailors in general, it can be easily extinguished......

Deng Peng shook his head and said......

'Yes' It is very difficult to hit a moving target, and the master said: The lord has also said before, for example, if all the five decks of the Kaitai are equipped with Shenwei cannons, a ship can be loaded with nearly 300 guns, and each side is more than 100 guns......

Three hundred? 'Deng Peng couldn't help but be speechless' 'So much' Do you know how much it costs to shoot each shot? .

The cost of each shell is about five taels of silver, the master craftsman

Five taels of silver! Deng Peng was taken aback, "So many" Each eight-bull crossbow is only half a tael of silver, and the shells of each trebuchet are lower, this, isn't this burning money? After a while, fifty shells were fired, and one hundred and fifty taels of silver were gone.

The craftsman smiled and said: "General" This is only the cost of the cannonball, if you add other steps, every cannonball will be fired, and Dingzhou will need to use nearly ten taels of silver.

It's too expensive!.Deng Peng shook his head again and again......

But his effectiveness is not comparable to that of an eight-ox crossbow and a trebuchet...... The master master said...... The current water war is more close to the meat, and the emergence of the Shenwei cannon has minimized the possibility of this near-board meat fall, perhaps in the future naval battles, the possibility of meat swinging will be lower and lower, which will ensure the safety of our soldiers' lives to the greatest extent......

That's right! Deng Peng nodded, but this hit rate is too low.

The master craftsman nodded, "The arsenal has also fully considered this" The lord also pointed out, in order to reduce the opponent's athletic ability, the arsenal has developed a chain bullet, which is specialized in attacking the opponent's sails, in the naval battle, such as the star breaks the opponent's sail, the opponent's warship will almost become our target, general, then you can look at the attack results of the chain bullet!.

The Kaitai made a turn and aimed the other side of the ship at the target in the distance

.Attack! With a command, the hull of the Kaitai slid backwards.

This time shooting, Deng Peng clearly saw the cannonballs flying in the air, between the two black spheres, tied to a metal chain, the two rotating spheres flew over the target, tearing the sail of the standard ship, the high temperature on the cannonball made the sail quickly catch fire and burn, wrapped around the mast, the huge hanging force broke the mast, this round of attack, so that the speed of several standard ships in the distance greatly reduced, almost stopped.

Hit!.Deng Peng was overjoyed.

The craftsmen on the first deck quickly reloaded with live ammunition, and in the midst of another roar, the ship in the distance could no longer escape its fate, and was hit by all of them, and the ship was ablaze with fire, black smoke billowed from it, and one of them was broken keel, broke from it, and sank rapidly, and in a moment, only the bow was raised high, and after a breath, the ship was gone except for a great whirlpool......

"This is only the effect of the bombardment of twenty-five Shenwei cannons" If it is really as the lord said, the Shenwei cannons on each side reach one hundred and fifty, then a salvo is like a huge ship like the Ningzhou of the Southern Army, which will also be sunk on the spot, shocked by the power of the Shenwei cannons, Deng Peng muttered......

The master craftsman smiled: "The general is right" A giant ship like the Kaitai, carrying thousands of sailors and soldiers on board, if you fight from the side, the battle will inevitably be extremely cruel, but a long-range attack like this can kill the enemy cleanly, and we will not damage a single person This is where the power of the Shenwei cannon lies, like the trebuchet and the eight-bull crossbow in the past, it is difficult to sink the giant ship in a short time......

"With this sharp weapon" Pang Jun's sailors will undoubtedly be wiped out, Deng Peng is full of joy, "Even if there are only fifty Shenwei cannons now", it is enough for me to hit him off guard, he would never have dreamed that we already have such a powerful weapon' Deng Peng was a little excited' and a little regretful, "It's just a pity" I can't understand Pang Jun's skillful command skills, in the face of absolute power, any skill is useless......

The general is right......

Deng Peng said: "It seems that the combat mode of our sailors will undergo another major change."
