Chapter 137: There Are Mountains Beyond the Mountains

It's just that Yu Xiaotian was a little disappointed that this guy was too small, he couldn't help but bend down, and with one hand, he pushed the Fran machine out of the box, and stood up to look at the gun chamber.

The inner diameter of the barrel is only about four to five centimeters, and the wall of the gun is relatively thin, which obviously cannot withstand too much bore pressure, but this is also related to the performance of the weapon of the Furlong cannon.

This guy belongs to the rapid-fire cannon of this era, the pursuit is not range and power, but the rate of fire, coupled with the level of processing technology in this era, without the help of modern machinery with high precision, such as lathes, milling machines, boring machines, the combination of the produced sub-gun and the mother gun will not be very tight, there will be a relatively large gap between it, and the diameter of the inner chamber of the mother gun may also be a little larger than that of the sub-gun, which will inevitably cause discouragement.

Therefore, the chamber pressure of the mother gun must not be very high, and the barrel wall naturally does not need to bear too much pressure, and it can be used if it is thinner, so it is definitely impossible for this thing to become a big killer in naval warfare.

"Brother, this guy weighs eighty pounds, and Zi Gong should have nine, but when it came to my hands, there were only six left, and last year my subordinates accidentally broke another one, and there were five left!

It turns out that this guy is from the official army, didn't the official army come to fight our Nanri Island in the first two years? Later, our brothers fought together to beat the officers and soldiers away, and also captured many guys from the officers and soldiers.

Now I still have it on the ship, and I don't need this Franc machine, so I'll give it to you, brother! If you can't use it this time, you send someone to press this guy to the boat quickly, and I'll send my men to teach you how to fiddle with this thing in a while!"

This guy looks good, but if you're not careful, you can hurt your own people, so you need to be careful! ”

Wang Hong triumphantly pointed to this Franco machine and said to Xiaotian.

After Yu Xiaotian saw it, although he was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, this thing is better than nothing, although it is a little smaller, but the few Baizi guns and bowl mouth guns on his hand are not much stronger, the biggest advantage of this kind of Furlong machine is that the firing rate is fast, and it can fire several cannons in a short time, and it can effectively suppress the vitality on the opponent's ship in close combat.

And Wang Hong also sincerely wanted to help him and improve his strength, he was the key to this feeling, so he hurriedly put down this Franc machine again, and turned around to thank Wang Hong and Fang An.

At this moment, Fang An was surprised, because just now Yu Xiaotian easily lifted the Furlong machine out of the box with one hand, as if it didn't take any effort at all.

You must know that although the Lang Dao machine is not too heavy, at least it is more than 80 catties, it is okay for two people to carry it, and it is difficult for one person to carry it, but Yu Xiaotian is like nothing to do, and he lifted it with one hand, which shows that Yu Xiaotian's arm strength is amazing, this hand alone is enough to surprise people, so Fang An didn't dare to underestimate Yu Xiaotian anymore, and nodded involuntarily.

"Brother doesn't have to be polite to my brother, you and I will be our own family in the future, and we must do things together, this thing is not needed by brothers at the moment, and it is also put away, it is better to give it to my brother and you pull it down! Hurry up, this time we are going to have a big fight with Chaojiang Long, we can't delay here for long! You have good wine and meat here, hurry up, let's eat, take a break, and leave!

Our boss has ordered, we all have to meet on West Inu Island before dark, and it's hard to explain if it's late! Wang Hong said with a big grin.

Yu Xiaotian hurriedly asked people to prepare wine and food, and ordered the cook to stew a large piece of whale meat, serve it in a pot, and send it to the outside of the village for Wang Hong's subordinates to eat with their stomachs open.

"Yu Dang! When we went ashore just now, we saw a whale skeleton on the shore, did it rush to the shore by itself, this time you must have been lucky, take the opportunity to cut a lot of whale meat! Fang An took the initiative to ask Xiaotian at this time.

Yu Xiaotian replied with a smile: "This can't all be regarded as our luck!" This whale was caught by my brother and I took someone out to sea some time ago, not that it washed ashore on its own! I really got a lot of whale meat!

Today, you and Brother Wang are here, and by the way, you can also try it! In a moment, I will send some to your ship, so that the brothers will have enough to eat and have the strength to work! ”

After hearing Yu Xiaotian's words, Wang Hong and Fang An were taken aback again, and before Fang An could speak, Wang Hong shouted: "I said brother, aren't you dizzy!" Do you dare to do this? How did you catch such a big whale? You're not crazy, are you? ”

Yu Xiaotian didn't want them to know too much about whaling, so he shook his head and said, "It's a coincidence!" Brother Wang, you also know that Brother Lu Dao is bold, some time ago when he went to sea, he happened to meet this whale, and he was really hungry for such a large amount of meat, so he took his brother to attack it!

This thing is really powerful, it broke one of my sampans in a flash, and it was a bit of luck to say it, but somehow, it actually hurt its vital point! Kill it for no reason! It took a lot of effort to drag it back! It's not a mistake to say that it's not lucky, but it's also good luck! Come on, come on! Let's see how this guy's meat tastes in a moment!

Our island here is no better than yours, there is nothing to entertain you, it should be a rarity, but unfortunately there is a lack of seasonings here, otherwise the taste may be better! ”

Yu Xiaotian was sloppy and downplayed this matter, which can be regarded as fooling the past.

But Fang An still couldn't help but exclaim: "Before, the third brother said that you are a powerful character, I still didn't believe it, but now it seems that what the third brother said is right, Yu Dangjia is really powerful!" If you can ask Yu to help us this time, we will definitely have some better chances of winning! ”

Large pieces of whale meat were brought out one by one, Wang Hong, Fang An and their subordinates had never seen such a meat-eating formation, smelling the fragrant pickled whale meat, one by one, they couldn't wait to stretch out a hand in their throats, open their bellies and eat and chew.

In this way, including Fang An and his subordinates, they were all very satisfied with their visit here this time, and they all ate with their mouths full of oil, and praised them again and again.

Yu Xiaotian accompanied Wang Hong and Fang An to eat and drink, so he immediately recruited Guo Fu and others, and carried the Furlong machine gun to the Seawolf.

This Furlong cannon is a light gun, which is not carried by a heavy gun carriage, and has limited recoil, so it can be mounted directly on the side of the ship, but it needs a stand to mount the gun on top of the stand.

Originally, it would be better if they built an iron frame, but now that time was pressing, they could only ask Guo Fu to lead people to make a temporary frame out of hardwood, put the cannon on the wooden frame, and then let Blacksmith Zhang build an iron frame after coming back later.

Wang Hong also sent two of his subordinates who could use this cannon to Yu Xiaotian's ship to teach Yu Xiaotian's subordinates how to operate this kind of Fulong cannon.

Don't look at the Furlong cannon is also very primitive, it is the most primitive rear-loading artillery, but the operation is really not very simple, it is not difficult to reload the sub-gun, but the process of placing the sub-gun in the tail of the mother gun is not simple.

After putting in the son, it is necessary to use a copper wedge to firmly drive the child into the mother, otherwise, once the gun is ignited, the sealing of this thing is not good, and it is likely to breathe fire outward from the joint of the child gun and the mother gun, and even spew fire backwards, which may hurt the gunner if you are not careful.

And if the tail copper wedge is not firmly laid, when the child is angry, it may burst out of the mother gun, and the explosion of the child is light, and it will hurt more people if it is not done.

Wang Hong wouldn't have done this at the beginning, so he recklessly let his subordinates operate the cannon, but he injured two or three of his subordinates, and Zi Gong even exploded one.

This is a lesson in blood, so Wang Hong repeatedly told Yu Xiaotian to be cautious.

Taking advantage of Wang Hong's efforts to teach Yu Xiaotian how to operate the Furlong cannon, Fang An also followed Yu Xiaotian's Seawolf with a shy face.

After he glanced around, he was even more impressed by these sea wolves, since he went to the sea, no matter what he has done for so many years, he has seen not a thousand boats, at least a few hundred are more than enough, but he has never seen any boat, which can be as clean and tidy as Yu Xiaotian's boat.

The whole ship is clean, the deck is wiped clean, all the items are neatly put in place, there is no messy feeling, reach out and touch anywhere on the boat, you can't touch any dirt such as dust, it looks refreshing, and it feels very comfortable and refreshing.

Seeing this, Fang An couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, although it was early for them to go to the sea to do this business, but after seeing these sea wolves today, he knew what it meant to have mountains outside the mountains and heavens outside the sky, and he himself was embarrassed to compare with Yu Xiaotian.

So Fang An walked behind Yu Xiaotian, took out the iron hook in his left hand from his arms, and held the iron hook in his right hand to make a fist and said to Xiaotian: "Yu is in charge!" Come here today, Fang Mou served! In the past, I only heard the third brother say how you have the ability, it is better to see than to hear, but today Fang Mou is a teacher! I also hope to teach you at home, how did you manage your brothers so organized? ”

Yu Xiaotian was busy learning how to operate this Furlong cannon, and after hearing Fang An's words, he quickly turned around and said, "Brother Fang is polite!" Yu is also a person who likes cleanliness a little, and he has set up more rules for his brothers! In fact, he didn't have any skills, but it made Brother Fang laugh!

You all did this much earlier than in Xia, and I still want to ask more like the two brothers!

To be honest, Yu Mou has never fought with anyone at sea a few times until now, this time he went to help the two brothers, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart, and I hope that Brother Fang will not hesitate to advise him when he arrives, and maintain more in the next one! ”

"You're welcome! Yu Dangjia is so polite! The performance of these brothers under your command is forbidden, even the officials and soldiers do not have such momentum, and we still have to contact more in the future! Fang An completely put away his arrogant style, and was much more polite in front of Yu Xiaotian.
