Chapter 49. The clash of the times! (Ask for recommendations!) )

The invention of gunpowder marked the arrival of a new era of weapons, and at the same time, it also meant a great change in the traditional way of warfare. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The world in which Chopin lived before was brought to a new chapter by the invention of muskets and artillery, which had been fought only in hand-to-hand combat.

Although gunpowder has been invented in this world for a long time, it has never been used, although under the experiments of some intelligent races, weapons such as muskets and artillery have been reluctantly manufactured, but no one has paid attention to them because of the range, the accuracy of shooting, the ease of exploding, and the use of time-consuming.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, this is an eternal truth, whether it is the world in which Chopin lived before, or in this other world covered by the ocean.

The fist is the ultimate reliance on everything!

At this time, under the blazing roar of the twelve 9-pounder guns, these Naga could only hug their heads and run around on the battleship, allowing the iron balls to keep destroying the ship itself.

"Don't panic, the battleships are scattered, everyone hurry up and load the stone bullets and prepare to counterattack." When another round of shelling was over, Sansa stood at the bow of the ship during the short vacuum of artillery fire, trying to calm the frightened people.

Hearing the voice of the patriarch, after experiencing the initial chaos, these Naga also slowly came back to their senses and began to prepare to counterattack according to the instructions of the other party, after all, in this situation, if they don't solve the ships on the other side, I am afraid that it will not be long before these Naga warships will all sink to the bottom of the sea.

The threat of death is always enormous, and for this reason, the arrangement is surprisingly efficient.

An intricately crafted ballista had been pushed out of the dark window, and all but two of the five battleships had been smashed directly by the red-hot iron balls and turned into a pile of flying wood chips.

Looking at the heavy ballistas that were pushed out, Chopin's face sank when he had been watching the changes in the situation, he had never underestimated these weapons of mass destruction that had long been eliminated.

The main structure of the ballista is made of wood, and it takes a lot of skill to make a durable product, and the balance of the power of the two sets of torsion springs in it ensures the accuracy of the projectile fired.

This powerful weapon with an elaborate firing structure is very different from the power of the feathered arrows fired by ordinary bows and crossbows, although there is no explosion damage caused by the cannon when it lands, but the huge impact it produces is also quite amazing, and the human body is so fragile in the face of that majestic force.

What limits the power of these weapons, in addition to the extremely cumbersome manufacturing process and high-strength material requirements, is the long firing time when they are used.

Apparently, however, Giman was well aware of the power of the weapon, and before he could warn him, he had let the sailors on deck take refuge in the cabin.

As for Chopin, he had already returned to an additional reinforced room somewhere in the cabin under the burning gaze of several guards.

The originally comfortable and spacious captain's cabin has been transformed into a non-appearance at this time, and a layer of iron has been nailed to the wooden partitions around it, but even so, these guards do not seem to be worried about his safety, and they scatter one by one, forming a circle around Chopin, even if a sharp arrow penetrates at this time, these extremely loyal Imperial soldiers will not hesitate to block it with their own flesh and blood.

"Whoosh-"

With a piercing and sharp sound, more than a dozen stone bullets were also thrown in unison.

However, at the moment when these stone bullets were still spinning in the air, the helmsman who was staring at the trajectory of the stone projectiles like a falcon also quickly turned the rudder.

Although the brig was not as good as the schooner, it had the advantages of strong maneuverability and simple maneuvering, and at this time the experienced helmsman was even more exerted, and only a few of the dozen stone bombs flying smashed on the deck of the brig, but for the deck paved with thick wood, it did not cause much damage, and the rest of the stone bombs fell into the sea.

Knowing that these Naga had thrown all the stone projectiles at the brig, Chopin, who was hiding in the captain's room, was also slightly relieved, he didn't want those Naga to target the small sails behind him.

With the performance and construction of those ships, it was undoubtedly quite difficult and troublesome to turn the rudder, and in this undulating sea, I was afraid that I would not be able to withstand the frontal impact of many stone bullets before sinking to the bottom of the sea, and then the Imperial soldiers carried on them would also suffer.

However, it is obvious that the Naga on the opposite few warships have already paid all their attention to this brig ship, and the iron ball that is constantly swallowing is already a nightmare for all Naga, and only by destroying this devilish battleship can they achieve the final victory.

Before the Naga on the opposite side could complete a new round of filling, the guns on both sides of the cabin were once again bursting like fireworks.

These gunners, who played the protagonists of the war, did not have time to stop, and as the round iron ball was once again stuffed into the black iron pipe, the relentless artillery fire fell again.

Of course, in the eyes of those Naga, the roar is probably completely equivalent to the death-killing music of the Grim Reaper, and the iron balls falling from the sky are their pass to another world.

The battle between the two sides is completely a confrontation of different eras, which has led to a situation where one side is completely crushed.

This is the power of the earth's modern artillery, colliding with the ancient decaying medieval warship!

Even if they were equipped with long-range attack weapons such as ballistas, in the constant roaring artillery fire, these Naga warships also fell into the bottomless abyss of darkness in an instant.

The only possible way for these Naga to win the war was to fight desperately at the beginning of the war, under the fire of artillery, and then use the advantage of numbers to engage Chopin's Imperial soldiers in broadside battles, although in that case, they would also have to withstand the merciless fire of the muskets, but in that case, at least there was a slight possibility of victory.

With only the twelve guns on both sides of the brig, it is impossible to destroy all these warships in a short time, and once they are approached by the other side, it will be the Imperial soldiers of the brigs who will be difficult to deploy at that time.

Although the final result may not change much, I am afraid that many of Chopin's imperial soldiers will return to their hometowns.
