Chapter 759: Lore
As the warships were shrouded in the tense atmosphere before the battle little by little, the huge figures of the three warships of the imperial court sailors slowly appeared in the captain's vision.
At the same time, the sound of the observation post also reached Gao Ming's ears......
"Captain...... The three warships of the imperial court have already entered the range of the guns of the main ships of the warships......"
Hearing this result, a trace of burning gaze flashed directly on Gao Ming's face. Then, he roared with a murderous face......
"What are you doing then, two main naval guns, open fire immediately...... After five rounds of firing, the battleship turned to the right, took a zigzag route, and attacked the enemy with the battleship's side-chord naval guns......"
As soon as the clever military order of "boom ......" was issued, the deafening roar of the two provinces sounded on the deck of the warship.
At the same time, the deck where the two main guns were located was covered in thick white smoke from the opening of the guns in the blink of an eye.
Of course, the moment the two main naval guns opened fire, the huge warship under Gao Ming's feet couldn't help but tremble under the powerful recoil of the naval guns......
Of course, the clever captain standing in the command compartment of the warship did not have the energy to enjoy the magnificent picture caused by the shelling of the two main ships.
The moment the two main ship guns opened fire, Gao Ming's attention was focused on the two flowering shells that were screaming.
Under Gao Ming's gaze, two flowering bombs with a screeching sound, after a long flight, smashed into the sea at noon, and exploded less than a hundred paces away from the main warship of the imperial court......
With the help of the monoculars, Gao Ming saw very clearly that after the explosion of two flowering bombs. Two thick columns of water. How high is it to be blown out of the water for ten battles......
"Alas! It's just a little bit off...... Inform the artillery brothers. I'm aiming, keep firing...... I don't believe that none of the ten flowering shells can hit the target......"
For the combat effectiveness of the gunners under his command, the captain Gao Ming is still very confident.
For more than a year, the sailor did not experience any real battles.
However, the gunners who adhered to the style of more training in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime were adhered to. In a year of training. Each of them fired at least two hundred flowering shells, and all of them were fired according to combat standards.
Therefore, after the order was issued, Gao Ming raised the monocular again and looked at the main warship of the imperial court that was still located on the sea four miles away.
Soon, the second round of artillery reached Gao Ming's ears.
What disappointed Gao Ming was that the two flowering bombs that roared down still did not hit the opponent's warship.
However, the hit rate of these two flowering shells is obviously much higher than just now. Two flowering shells. They all landed less than fifty paces away from the warship and exploded......
"Keep firing ......" Captain Gao Ming's clenched fist slammed into the command cabin table, with a gloomy face. A deep voice commanded.
"Boom ......" two more cannon sounds sounded on the deck of the warship, and Gao Ming, disappointed twice in a row, raised his binoculars again and looked at the battlefield.
This time, the gunners who operated the two main ship guns did not disappoint Gao Ming......
A flowering bomb smashed directly into the deck of the warship, and a fireball mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose on the deck of the warship.
Although Gao Ming had no way to see the specific results of this flowering bomb, Gao Ming knew that this flowering bomb did not disappoint him when several corpses of officers and soldiers exploded from the deck after the explosion of the flowering bomb.
Indeed, this flowering bomb not only killed and injured seven or eight court officers and soldiers on the deck. The powerful power of the flowering bomb also tore the wooden deck of the warship directly...... The flying fragments of flowering shells, like rain, once again reaped the lives of more than a dozen gunners in the cabin of the warship......
On the surface, this flowering bomb did not bring a devastating blow to Fukufune. However, more than 30 casualties made more than 20% of the guns on the ship lose their combat effectiveness because they did not have a gunner.
Of course, another flowering bomb that landed on the sea less than five steps away from the warship did not disappoint Gao Ming.
The flying fragments from the explosion of the flowering bomb directly cut four or five bowl-sized gaps in the hull of the Fufu's side of the ship. A steady stream of seawater, like a flood from a burst bank, poured into the ship's hold.
Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers had to separate the already small crew to drain the water and plug the gap that had just been blown out of the cabin......
Just when the official warship was in chaos because it was hit by a flowering bullet.
The dozen or so gunners who operated the two main guns were greatly encouraged......
Quickly adjust the muzzle and reload the ammunition...... In the blink of an eye, a new round of two explosions sounded on the bow deck.
This round of two flowering bombs, one of which once again landed on the main battle ship of the imperial court.
Not only that, but this flowering bomb was unfortunate and landed directly on the cabin in the middle of the warship.
The flowering bomb exploded, and the three-story cabin on the deck of the warship was directly torn apart by artillery fire and turned into a ball of fire.
At the same time, the main mast of the Fuku, which was full of sails, was also blown off in the explosion of the flowering bomb......
Without the mainmast and mainsail, the speed of the fortune ship immediately slowed down.
In addition, the cabin was bombed, dozens of officers and soldiers were killed and injured, and the entire Fu ship directly became even more chaotic.
So, just now riding the wind and waves, the lucky boat that keeps moving forward. Immediately, it was like a kite with a broken string, and little by little it became the target of the two main ship guns.
The gunners of the Sailor Division of the Haw Par Army, who were completely fed with shells, once again used their strength to tell the officers and soldiers what is the real Sailor Commander.
The two flowering bullets with a screeching sound in the fifth round actually landed on the deck of the fortune ship.
After two explosions in a row, the entire deck of the ship had been completely destroyed.
Forty or fifty officers and soldiers of the Naval Division, either killed or wounded, lay on a messy deck in various postures.
At the same time, the gunners, who were located in the compartment of the mezzanine, also suffered heavy losses.
More than ten heavy guns were blown over directly on the gun position. Dozens of gunners, also killed or wounded, fell around the gun emplacement.
At this time, the entire Fu Ship, even if it did not completely lose its combat effectiveness, was beaten to the point that it lost the courage to continue fighting.
Just when the two main ship guns began to fire the sixth round of flowering shells at the main warship of the imperial court. The battleship under Gao Ming's feet is already beginning to turn......
After drawing a beautiful arc on the sea, the battleship with fifteen black hole barrels stretched out was directly exposed in front of the officers and soldiers.
As a more intensive cannon sound sounded in the cabin, the powerful recoil generated by the simultaneous shelling of fifteen guns directly pushed the battleship under Gao Ming's feet three or four steps back.
However, the power of fifteen naval guns shelling at the same time is not covered.
Fifteen flowering shells with a screeching sound, although none of them really hit the main battleship of the Imperial Court, which had lost its combat effectiveness.
However, the water column and mist raised by the fifteen flowering shells around the Fu ship directly submerged the warship.
Looking down from the air, the warship, which was still huge just now, is like a boat in the turbulent waves, which may be buried in the sea at any time......
And at this moment, the second round of flowering bombs with a screeching sound has come to the sky of Fuchuan again.
This time Fufune didn't have such good luck...... One shell of a ship gun and three shells of an ordinary ship gun, as if they had eyes, fell directly on the warship.
What's even more deadly is that one of the flowering shells actually passed through the Tadongge on the deck and exploded directly in the cabin. (To be continued......)
