The one-eyed dragon is also a hot-tempered guy, there is a natural ruthlessness, today finally got the opportunity to show his face, very excited, standing in the stern of his boat, looking triumphantly at the Puxi City on the shore, when he used to do it alone, he didn't dare to provoke the officials and soldiers.

What's more, he knew that there were thousands of officers and soldiers in Puxi City today, and before that, he couldn't avoid it, where did he dare to come here so arrogantly to find trouble with the officers and soldiers!

But after following Yu Xiaotian into the sea wolf to do things, he felt that he was getting bolder and bolder, and the equipment was getting better and better, in the past, he worked hard to get a few tattered small cannons, but now look at their ships, they are all equipped with polished bright Hongyi cannons, this majesty can not be compared with the previous at all, it is really more damn than people, and the goods should be thrown.

Especially at the beginning of this year, after they defeated Chu Cailao, it made the sea wolf's majesty tremble to the sky, although he was not able to participate in the battle against Chu Cailao, and was sent to Shuangfeng Island at that time.

Several groups of pirates in Zhejiang, heard that the sea wolf offended Chu Cailao, provoked Chu Cailao to make a big move on the sea wolf, at first, all of them were a little impatient, and wanted to wait for Chu Cai Lao to overturn the sea wolf, take the opportunity to immediately join forces, drive the sea wolf from the sea in Funing Prefecture, and seize the territory of the sea wolf.

The groups of pirates who were intimidated by the sea wolf before began to frequently move around Funing, and it was not easy for the one-eyed dragon to sit on Twin Peaks Island, at that time he led the second-line warships of the sea wolves, mostly some old ships, and there were not many new guns on them, when he was on Twin Peaks Island, there was a lot of pressure.

But the one-eyed dragon is also an old pirate, and the big scene can be regarded as seen, and Zhilu Dao must not be easily succumbed at that time, so when he was on Twin Peaks, he went to sea many times with his ships to find those dishonest peers.

And several times he was on the side of Funing, he caught his peers hijacking ships on their territory, even if the one-eyed dragon led the ship to rush up, some of his peers were afraid of the sea wolf's power and took the initiative to retreat, but there were also one or two groups of peers, thinking that the sea wolf was going to go this time, and did not buy the one-eyed dragon's account.

So the one-eyed dragon and his subordinates immediately fought against them, and with his ruthlessness, he was stunned to pack up the two guys and lose their armor, and fled in defeat, finally stabilizing the situation on Funing's side.

Later, the news of the sea wolf's defeat of Chu Cailao came quickly, and it quickly spread throughout the southern coastal area of Zhejiang, and those groups of pirates who were about to move immediately became honest when they heard the news, and they no longer dared to easily enter the sea wolf's territory activities, so far the sea wolf's territory in Funing was completely stable.

After cleaning up Chu Cailao, Yu Xiaotian sent a group of ships back to Funing Twin Peaks Island, and the one-eyed dragon immediately led the fleet to go to the two groups of pirates who had done it with him to settle accounts, and even the pot ended their lair and completely eliminated them, once again greatly deterring those peers in southern Zhejiang, so that in the past six months, they are very respectful to the sea wolf, when the sea wolf's ship passes along the coast of Zhejiang, even that Pang Sen, often learns the news, he has to take a boat to escort the sea wolf's ship north, at least to the Zhoushan Islands.

Therefore, although the one-eyed dragon failed to participate in the battle against Chu Cailao on Twin Peaks Island, it also won high praise from Yu Xiaotian, which completely stabilized its position among the sea wolves.

Today, the one-eyed dragon is very beautiful in his heart, because he came over this time, in fact, he is simply cheap, and the instructions given to him by Yu Xiaotian are very simple, that is, to lead the ship to shell Puxi City, and there is no need to land to fight hard with the officers and soldiers, so this task is very easy for him.

After leveling the fleet on the shore, the one-eyed dragon even ordered the ships of the fleet to lower their sails and throw their anchors into the water, allowing the ships to gain a more stable stance and improve the accuracy of the shelling.

As soon as he gave the order, the gunners who had already prepared on the ship immediately began to open the ship's gun doors.

In addition to building a new dhow during this time, the sea wolf is also renovating the old Chinese warship, because of the limitation of the unique watertight compartment structure of the Chinese sailing ship, when the sea wolf added artillery to the ship in the past, it was directly installed on the deck, which has great disadvantages, one is because the gun greatly increases the center of gravity of the ship, and the second is that it is also more affected by the weather, the sea is windy and rainy, and it will rain a lot of times, and the cannon is placed on the deck in the open air, not to mention that it is not easy to maintain, sometimes because the rain is too big, It can also create a situation where it is impossible to fire.

Therefore, recently, the craftsmen of Yu Xiaotianling Shipyard have tried to transform some large ships, and move the guns to the deck below the deck as much as possible.

However, after placing the guns on this deck, it is necessary to open the gun doors on both sides of the hull, which is a little more troublesome, and the slightest carelessness may affect the structural strength of the hull, and a certain degree of modification must be carried out.

In fact, the ancient Chinese shipwrights did not lack wisdom and skill, but they were more conservative and liked to do things according to the old traditions, and once someone gave them an idea, they still had a strong ability to solve problems.

With the joint efforts of the shipwrights, this problem was finally solved by them, and when the gun door was opened, they reinforced it around the gun door to ensure that the hull structure did not drop significantly, and after ensuring the strength of the hull structure, the gun window was opened.

In this way, the ship's guns have a space to shelter from the wind and rain, even when it rains at sea, they can be operated in a dry cabin without being affected by the weather, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the ship is greatly reduced, so that the warship can travel more safely in various sea conditions.

However, the opening of the gun window in the middle of the ship brought another problem, that is, in bad sea conditions, when the hull was rolling, seawater would sometimes splash into the cabin through the gun window, which caused some negative effects on the ship, and it was necessary to continuously drain the water.

For this problem, it is not difficult to solve, the shipwrights added a sealed window to the ship's gun window, when the gun is not in use, close these gun windows, or when the sea conditions are bad, completely close the gun window, so that even if there is still a little water, it will not have much impact on the ship.

Of course, after such a transformation, the ability of these ships to load cargo was somewhat reduced because the artillery took up a lot of space.

Not enough for the sea wolf, this impact is not very big, because the sea wolf's warship is relatively professional, mainly responsible for combat missions, transportation matters, most of which are responsible for full-time cargo ships, warships are generally undertaken, only a small amount of cargo transportation work, so the cargo space left can still meet their needs.

Some of the ships brought out by the horses have been refitted, and the number of guns on the ships has increased a bit, so that the number of guns on several ships has reached eight.

The seven ships lined up on the sea outside Puxi City, anchored and stopped, and the gun doors on the side of the ship were opened by the gunners from the inside, and the loaded cannons were pulled in front of the gun window with a cable pulley set, and the muzzle of the black hole hole stretched out of the gun window, pointing straight to the Acropolis hundreds of meters away.

"Brothers, aim for me! Fire! After the one-eyed dragon got the signal of the reply from the ships, all the ships of Zhilu Dao were ready to bombard, so he roared excitedly, slashed his arms downward, and pointed heavily at the Puxi City in front of him.

Puxi City is just an acropolis, although it is called a city, but at most it is a small city with a side length of less than a mile or so, I am afraid that even the area of a small town in later generations is not enough, usually only more than 1,000 guards are stationed, in fact, the number of guards in Puxi City is less than 600 now, and most of them are some old and weak people.

In this era, the military households are no longer a regular army, they are just some military slaves at best, and their combat effectiveness is not at all, and they are not even comparable to the village warriors in ordinary villages, but fortunately, two thousand officers and soldiers were transferred this time, which greatly increased the strength of Puxi City.

At a distance of several hundred meters, it is estimated that it will not be easy to hit if the ship's guns attack a point target similar to a ship, but today, the gunners of these sea wolves were given the order to shell Puxi City, so that they don't have to worry about the shells hitting the target.

After the gunners of each ship visually measured the distance on the ship, they immediately adjusted the elevation angle of the gun body according to the requirements of the gun table, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Puxi City in the distance.

After the gunpowder in the fire door was ignited, it first hissed a puff of green smoke, and in an instant, it ignited the charge in the gun chamber, and everyone only felt a series of vibrations suddenly came from under their feet, and the cannons on the ship dragged the cable of the pulley group backwards one after another, quickly recoiled, and then were pulled by the pulley group to offset the recoil generated by them, and stopped behind the gun emplacement.

Flames suddenly erupted from the side of the ship facing the side of Puxi City, followed by clouds of cyan gunpowder smoke that filled the entire hull.

Everyone's ears were suddenly filled with the roar of cannons, and each ship began to shell violently with the recoil of the cannons, and began to shake slightly, of course, it was absolutely impossible to be like the battleships equipped with hundreds of millimeter guns in later generations, when the guns were pointed at the side of the ship and fired a salvo, the huge hull could be pushed several meters away from the sea.

Even so, the scene of seven boats firing together after receiving the order to open fire is quite shocking.
