Chu Cai was also a little stunned, and he couldn't understand what terrible things his subordinates encountered at the gap in the wall, so he hurriedly asked Master Zhou beside him, "What happened?" For the sake of the sea wolf tribe, easily defeated our people? ”

Master Zhou was also confused at this time, he was not a weapon expert, but he was just a person who relied on his cleverness to eat, just now he also heard a series of explosions, but he couldn't figure out what it was exploding, and then he saw that the people on their side began to disperse.

So he had to shake his head and say: "If you go back to the big shopkeeper, you don't know what to do!" Maybe the sea wolf has made something terrible again! Our casualties are not small! That's why I was scared back! ”

At this time, a close confidant of Chu Cai's subordinates came over and said tentatively: "The big shopkeeper, the little one has heard that the sea wolf ship once used a kind of bamboo explosive cannon, which was filled with gunpowder and stuffed with a lot of iron nails and iron pieces, and was lit and thrown on our ship, which once injured many brothers on our ship!" I don't know if it's this kind of bombardment!

It is said that once this kind of bomb explodes, no one within a radius of a few meters can be spared, and once it hits, it will either be killed or injured, which is very powerful! Even with a shield, you can't stop it! ”

When Chu Cai heard it, he felt that what this subordinate said made sense, and he could basically determine what the sea wolf used to defeat his subordinates this time, this kind of explosive cannon he didn't feel like it was too powerful, at this time, firecrackers and artillery battles were already very common, and this thing was actually similar to a cannon battle, but he couldn't think of why this kind of cannon battle of the sea wolf could hurt so many people?

Chu Cai Lao couldn't figure it out, he could only figure it out, he could only watch the fruits of victory that were about to reach his mouth, and suddenly turned into nothing, seeing that the subordinates sent in front of him were showing signs of complete collapse, he hurriedly sent his cronies to rush over, and ordered the treasurers to gather their subordinates, not to retreat without authorization, and continue to launch an offensive against the Sea Wolf Village, so as to take this Dazhai today.

On the other hand, he ordered someone to send an order to the two men who operated the Hongyi cannon, and ordered them to continue to bombard the sea wolf village, and be sure to collapse a few more sections of the wall, he didn't believe that the sea wolf could withstand the fierce bombardment of this Hongyi cannon.

But the people he sent rushed back immediately, and told Chu Cailao breathlessly, saying that the men who operated the cannon did not dare to fight anymore at this time, they had already fired many shells in a row, and the cannon body was so hot that they had to let the cannon body cool before they could continue to fight, otherwise they were afraid that as soon as the gunpowder poured into the cannon chamber, it would be ignited!

Chu Cai was old-fashioned and wanted to die, but there was no way, these two Hongyi cannons were the treasures at the bottom of the box, he didn't dare to be careless, let these two cannons have an accident, so they had to rest first, and after the barrels cooled down, they continued to fire.

But he thought so, but the sea wolf was not idle, the gunner of the twelve-pounder cannon had fired several shots in a row at this time, but none of them could hit Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons, and the most recent of them could almost be said to have passed by a Chu Cailao Hongyi cannon, but it still failed to hit effectively.

In addition, there is a cannonball that fell at a considerable distance from a Hongyi cannon, if it is replaced with an explosive grenade in later generations, this cannonball should be regarded as an effective hit, but it is a pity that Yu Xiaotian has not made a hollow explosive bomb so far, and the solid shell still cannot destroy these two Hongyi cannons that pose a great threat to them without a direct hit.

And Chu Cailao's subordinates actually saw what the sea wolf's gunners wanted to do, and when the first few shells fell around them, they were really nervous, but after pondering for a while, they relaxed again!

In their opinion, their position is too far away from Dazhai, although the sea wolf's cannon is quite accurate, but if you want to hit them, it should be impossible.

Is the wall of the sea wolf village big? They also use Hongyi cannons, but they have lost one after another, even the wall of Dazhai can't hit, even if the level of the sea wolf's cannons is high, they don't believe that the sea wolf's cannon can accurately hit their cannon, if they change to a boat at this time, it is very likely to hit, but they are only two cannons at present, placed on land at such a distance, almost like the size of two broad beans, want to hit them, it should be very difficult.

When they saw that the many shells that the sea wolf Dazhai was shooting towards them either flew far above their heads, or they missed and fell on their left and right, or they hit close and smashed in front of them, in short, they all deviated from them, these Chu Cai old gunners were completely relieved at this time, and felt that there was nothing to worry about, they couldn't hit the location of the sea wolf's Hongyi cannon, and it was impossible for the sea wolf's cannon to hit them, so they were relieved and boldly began to continue to drum up their cannons.

Seeing that one shell after another missed the target, it made people angry and anxious, but these sea wolf troops who operated the cannon were not discouraged, and they were still reloading, constantly aiming carefully, and adjusting the muzzle pointing.

"Almost! Move! Shoot! After lying on the gun mount and carefully looking at it for a while, the gun commander was sure that this time the aim should be about the same, so he stepped aside and gave the order to open fire.

The twelve-pounder cannon shook violently again, and with a thud it retreated, the cannonball tore through the air, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and flew towards one of Chu Cailao's Hongyi cannons, and the observer hand lay on the edge of the turret, his eyes widened, and he carefully observed their target.

Vaguely saw that the cannonball first smashed in front of a cannon more than ten meters in front of the position, in front of the target to stir up a cloud of dust, the observer was about to sigh, to report the news of the loss to the brothers behind him, but suddenly saw that Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon jumped up, and then scattered, and those Chu Cai's old subordinates who surrounded the Hongyi cannon were like a nest exploded, scattered in all directions.

"Wow! Ha Lu Ha! Haha Hit! Ha Lu Ha hit! This time it really hit! Ha Lu haha...... "When this observer saw this, he almost did a somersault on the spot, but even so, he was dancing with his hands, and he almost rolled on the ground."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked into the distance, and sure enough, they saw that one of Chu Cailao's cannons had fallen apart and crooked to the ground at this time, and a group of Chu Cailao's subordinates were scurrying around like headless flies.

This time Yu Xiaotian smiled, Chu Cailao's nose was crooked again, he put the cannon at such a distance from the sea wolf Dazhai, but it was still blown apart by the sea wolf with their cannon, how accurate can this be! He didn't believe that this was the high level of the Sea Wolf's means, he insisted that this time he came to Nanri Island must have not chosen the right auspicious day, let him be haunted by bad luck, the sea wolf's gunner This is Wang Baxing's turtle luck, the blind cat hit the dead mouse, and it was only then that he destroyed a cannon.

After asking, his subordinates told Chu Cailao that this cannon was basically completely scrapped, and the shell that came from the Seawolf Dazhai first fell ten steps away from the Hongyi cannon, and then bounced on the ground and hit the cannon body, overturning the cannon on the spot, even the gun carriage was shattered, and even injured three minions around the cannon.

And they checked the barrel of this cannon just now, not to mention a crack was smashed on the cannon body, and it also left a deep mark, and the entire barrel was a little deformed, and it turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Chu Cai's old flesh hurt to death, his face jumped suddenly, he spent a lot of effort on this cannon, and spent a lot of silver, just got it from the Francophile, just a few, destroy one less one, he usually treats these cannons as treasures, but he didn't expect that just took them out and didn't shoot a few cannons, and was destroyed by the sea wolf.

The angry Chu Cailao was a little dizzy at this moment, and he couldn't wait to steal the knife and run over in person, and break into the sea wolf village to cut Xiaotian in two, so as to solve the hatred in his heart.

And at this time, Yu Xiaotian was secretly happy, today's twelve-pounder cannon did bring him a lot of surprises, although just now he transferred this twelve-pounder cannon over here to help in the battle, and wanted to let this twelve-pounder cannon kill Chu Cailao's two Hongyi cannons, but he actually knew very well that this kind of hope was actually very slim.

The level of skill in this era is here, although his cannon is cast with iron fan, and the bore is carefully boring, which is a pretty good cannon in this era, but after all, this cannon has great technical limitations, it is also a front-loading smoothbore gun, and it has not been corrected by a modern boring machine to the gun chamber, coupled with the influence of the shell casting accuracy and gunpowder composition, if you want to use this cannon to accurately hit another cannon at such a long distance, in fact, it does not have this condition.

Although the effective range and maximum range of the twelve-pounder cannon are not low, the effective range also depends on what distance and what target it hits.

If you let the twelve-pounder cannon hit a target at a distance of 200 meters, the accuracy of this cannon can achieve an accurate hit target the size of the Eight Immortals table, and the dispersion will not exceed too much, but if you want to hit a target at a distance of 400 meters, then the dispersion of this cannon will roughly become larger, and it can only ensure that it hits a target about the size of a thatched house, but when it wants to hit a target 800 meters away, although the range of this cannon is fine, the accuracy will be greatly reduced, and it can ensure that it hits a target the size of a warehouse. That's good.

At a distance of 800 meters, if a target the size of a brig is fired from land, this kind of cannon can basically ensure that it can accurately hit a ship about a kilometer away, but today the target they want to hit is much smaller than the target set under normal circumstances.

Although Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon was clumsy, it could not be larger than a warehouse, and even the frontal projection area was about the size of a table of eight immortals.

It was indeed too difficult for those gunners to let this twelve-pounder cannon fight them, so although Yu Xiaotian transferred this twelve-pounder cannon, he didn't actually have much hope for it, just hoped that it could interfere with Chu Cailao's two cannons.

But he didn't expect that the gunners of this cannon today really gave him a huge surprise, at such a distance, he really overturned Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon, and it can be observed from the telescope that the gun carriage of that cannon has been scattered, at least in a short time, Chu Cailao can no longer expect this cannon to fire.
