……
Unlike the others, Buchen's face sank slightly, and then he returned to his relaxed and calm appearance, and said in a joking tone: "It seems that our whereabouts have finally been leaked!" ”
"I thought the rotten bones would come sooner!" Zuo Heng said with a sneer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Buchen shrugged his shoulders, he also thought so, the Immortal Kingdom's reaction was so slow, it should be because of something else that was holding back his attention.
"Lord, do you want to take our ship back?" At this time, Yue Shi Niang pointed to several fast boat lanes cruising outside the port.
Buchen nodded without thinking about it: "Look at the appearance of the enemy ship, it should be a magic gunboat, our ship has not been reequipped with artillery, and if it can't resist the enemy, don't sacrifice in vain!" ”
"Then I'm going to give them a flag!" After getting Buchen's approval, Yue Shi Niang just said simply, and left in a hurry.
"What a grievance!" Qian Laosi was a little unwilling.
Buchen turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Bear with it for a while!" It's good to wait for a while! ”
"Alas!" Qian Laosi sighed and stopped talking.
Moments later, the clippers withdrew from the waterway to the harbor, and the soldiers in charge of controlling the cables in the cave lowered the ropes as soon as they passed!
It's just that in the face of the unsubordinate navy that was waiting for the battle and took a defensive position, the magic gunboat of the Immortal Kingdom behaved extremely arrogantly, and there was no sign of stopping or turning, and it approached the harbor alone!
"I don't know what to live or die!"
Seeing that the enemy was so arrogant, the left horizontal couldn't help but smoke in the seven orifices!
Buchen sneered and said: "Second Brother Zuo, don't be angry, since they want to die, let's fulfill them, and when they enter the firing range, let the artillery on the four batteries bombard the damn together!" Look at him can still be arrogant! ”
"That's right! Fuck it! Let the rotten bones on this ship understand that not only they have cannons, but we also have them! Qian Laosi waved his fist and shouted.
Buchen was amused by Qian Laosi's appearance, he shook his head and said, "Fourth Brother Qian, don't stick here, go to the fort in the west to sit down!" ”
"Okay!" Qian Laosi was not verbose, and ran to the fort on the other side as soon as he agreed.
Watching the figure of the fourth brother leave, Zuo Hengyan's face finally showed a look of worry: "Lord, our current cannon is not very strong, and the number is not particularly large, can we win against the bombardment?" ”
Zuo Hengyan's worries are very reasonable, not to mention how weak the current artillery is, the number is not very sufficient, there are only three twenty-four-pounder guns and six twelve-pounder guns on one battery, and the total of the four batteries is only thirty-six guns, and because of the caliber, only the range of the twenty-four-pounder cannon can barely fight the magic cannon at the limit distance, and the twelve-pounder cannon can't reach others at all!
Buchen finally put away his relaxed expression, and his expression became grim: "It's really hard to say whether you win or lose!" ”
"Is there any way we can turn the tide of the situation?" Zuo Hengyan stared at Buchen and asked.
Buchen frowned and thought quickly, and after a while, his heart was crossed, and he clenched his fists: "Don't fire at the extreme range, put them close to fight!" ”
"Got closer?!" When he first heard this idea, Zuo Hengyan was a little shocked, but he soon understood, and asked with a deep gaze: "How close?!" ”
It's just that Buchen didn't answer first, but asked rhetorically: "Has the Immortal Kingdom fought with the Wushan Sea Waterproofer?" ”
Although he didn't know why Buchen asked this question, Zuo Heng Yan still recalled it and replied honestly: "No! ”
"Then have they been to Hushan Military Port?" Buchen asked again.
"I should have been here, but I certainly haven't been here!"
"What is the range of a typical bed crossbow and trebuchet?" Buchen's eyes narrowed.
When the question was asked, Zuo Hengyan already somewhat understood Buchen's intentions, and he stared at Buchen with burning eyes and said: "The trebuchet is farther away than the bed crossbow, and the general bed crossbow is less than a mile of range, and the better three-bow bed crossbow is two miles!" ”
Buchen lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "The effective range of the twelve-pounder cannon is five hundred to six hundred meters, that is, a little more than a mile. ”
Zuo Hengyan's cheeks twitched, and he sweated for Buchen's boldness, and he frowned and asked, "Put it in one mile, and then shoot a salvo together?!" ”
"Hmm!" Buchen nodded heavily, "With the arrogance of the other party, naturally they will not think that we have a powerful weapon like a three-bow bed crossbow, but only think that our weapon is an ordinary bed crossbow, that is, the kind with a range of one mile, so if they don't make any attacks before, they won't have any suspicions!" Moreover, the closer the distance between the smoothbore cannon and the higher the accuracy, it is not at all the same concept for a twenty-four-pounder gun to fire shells at a distance of three miles and a distance of one mile! If you can land a few rounds of close-range salvos as fast as you can, you can destroy the enemy ship before it can react! ”
Zuo Heng Yan thought about it, shook his head, and said, "It's just my lord, have you ever thought about what if the enemy bombarded our fort before this, causing the artillery to be damaged?" ”
Buchen raised his binoculars and glanced at the enemy ship, and said, "Now the enemy ship should be about five miles away from the battery, right?" ”
"Yes." Zuo Heng nodded inexplicably.
"The rotten bones don't have binoculars, they can only observe with the naked eye, at this distance, they look up from the bottom, they should not be able to see the situation on our battery, at this time if the artillery is camouflaged, they will not necessarily bombard the artillery, but the more conspicuous ballista and trebuchet!" Buchen pointed to the defensive equipment from the era of the Seawater Engineer on the fort that had not yet had time to be removed.
Zuo Hengyan smiled: "Pretend that you are an expert!" ”
Buchen shrugged his shoulders, Zuo Hengyan's words are true, and it is not a problem for you who have the ability to put holograms to hide anything if you want to!
"Just do it! I'm going to inform the other three batteries! Zuo Heng knew that without further ado, he was about to set off immediately.
"Wait!" Buchen hurriedly grabbed him.
"Lord, do you have anything else to command?" Zuo Hengyan asked with wide eyes.
Buchen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Second brother Zuo, tell them that the salvo signal is a salute ~ flower bomb, when to see the salute ~ bomb burst into the air, when to fire again!" ”
Zuo Heng's old face turned red, he actually forgot about it.
"Lord, look at me......"
Buchen hurriedly interrupted him, waved his hand and said, "Time is not waiting, go and inform them!" ”
"Understood!" Zuo Heng said yes and hurried away.
After Zuo Heng left, Buchen immediately entered the virtual reality and controlled Zhizi.
……
At this moment, the Immortal Kingdom's magic cannon battleship Caludia is on board.
"Captain, the remnants of the defeated army still show no signs of escaping, and it seems that they want to rely on the defenses of this harbor to resist stubbornly!" Skeleton First Officer Mera respectfully reported to Captain Caludia, who was sitting in the captain's chair.
Unlike the combination of Teresa and Naka, Caludia and his first mate Mera are also zombies and skeletons, with the difference that Caludia is a male zombie with a beautiful mustache, while Miss Teresa is a complete nymphomaniac......
At this time, hearing the first mate's report, Captain Caludia's stiff face tried his best to squeeze out a contemptuous smile: "The remnants of the defeated generals are really tired!" Do you really think that a harbor equipped only with ballistas and trebuchets can withstand the bombardment of magic cannons?! You know, we didn't attack them before, just because they had long ears to protect them! ”
The ghost fire in Mera's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and he said in a somewhat worried tone: "Captain, I think it's better for us to be cautious, we haven't been able to find the wreckage of that stupid ship of Talissa before, maybe the Beta is in the hands of the remnants of the defeated generals at this time, if they attack us with the Beta, we won't have an advantage!" ”
But Captain Caludia didn't think much of it: "What if the humans capture the kingdom's warships? They don't even know how to control the magic cannon! ”
"However, we have to consider the possibility of that idiot of Teresa defecting to the enemy!" First mate Murrah is still holding on.
"Defection?" Caludia laughed, "Mera, my first mate! What do you think that stupid woman is Telisa? She's a zombie! Even if she wanted to surrender, would humanity accept her? ”
First mate Murrah was speechless.
"Don't worry! My first mate, humanity is nowhere near as powerful as you think, and since they didn't choose to flee, they were killing themselves! Let's crush their delusions with the greatest creation the kingdom has ever seen, harvest their lives, and claim wonderful feats of war along the way! Captain Caludia said loudly in an exaggerated tone.
Mera couldn't refute it, so the Magic Battleship Caludia sailed into the range of the naval guns of the Buchen Navy under the captain's will!
