785, the raging redbeard pirate
Anyway, why did Yi Yun suddenly appear at sea?
It turned out that once Yi Yun's arsenal system began to operate, it drained all the iron and copper in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, and his skills consumed iron too quickly.
In general, there was a shortage of iron in this era, because the mining industry had not yet developed on a large scale, and Yiyun had used up all the iron in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and had not created a mechanized army that was satisfactory, so he could only be regarded as arming a small army.
In the end, he had to find a way to solve the resource problem first, and first used the "house arsenal" to create a one-stop production line for mining and ironmaking in the Wushan Oasis of Chongqing. According to the investigation of later scientists, Wushan has 100 million tons of hematite reserves, and Yi Yun estimates that digging up these iron ores is enough to beat the Meng Niang Knights, but before all this iron is dug up and turned into weapons, he must first drag off the offensive of Westerners and Manchu Tartars, and he must return to the Shanghai Oasis to sit down.
He first built a mechanized transport fleet to ensure the smooth flow of transportation between Chongqing and Shanghai, and then transported a large number of resources to the Shanghai Oasis, and built this multi-turret heavy cruiser at Wusong Wharf, don't look at only one, but the displacement of this heavy cruiser has reached more than 10,000 tons, for this era, it cannot be regarded as a cruiser, but as a super giant warship.
Yi Yun went to sea on this heavy cruiser today, the original intention was to try the sea, and by the way, he wanted to see if he could find the missing Zhu Qingqing Qingqing on the sea, but he didn't expect the radar to turn around a few times and actually find Redbeard. And so the battle from the previous chapter took place.
After a few shots, Redbeard's fleet was already dumbfounded. Yi Yun pointed to the red-bearded fleet and laughed wildly: "Whahahaha, these stupid birds, it's great to have cannons? Brother has evolved a 340 mm caliber cannon here, if it weren't for the lack of iron, he could only build a small boat of 20,000 or 30,000 tons, and my brother would build a 70,000-ton Yamato, and use a 400 mm caliber monster cannon to blast you into scum." ”
Li Huamei, who was standing beside Yi Yun, pursed her lips and smiled, she had been taught by Yi Yun how to operate this new warship with the "infectious power of the house", and the female soldiers on the ship were all selected by Yi Yun from the family soldiers. The person in charge of the 340 mm main gun is naturally the leftover female artillery girl, and the whole ship is full of old men and horses.
The leftover female artilleryman fired a few shots with an electronic aiming instrument, and the hit rate was much higher than the previous naked eye aiming, and she couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Lord Wang, this kind of cannon is really easy to use." Hahaha! My artillery skills have gone to the next level. ”
She has indeed gone to the next level, the characteristics of the profession of science and technology are that it will change with the change of all weapons, the remaining female artilleryman used to be a third-order "cannon artillery", and now it has become a fourth-order "plus howitzer", she aimed casually with an electronic sight, and the barrel was aimed at Redbeard's flagship.
Yi Yun hurriedly said: "Keep the flagship and don't blow it up, let's see if we can catch any beautiful women on the opposite flagship." ”
The leftover female artilleryman pouted: "Don't catch the beauty, there is a big beauty here, you don't want it." "Finished. Her hand pressed the launch button, and with a loud thud, the two escort ships of the Redbeard Pirates turned into fireballs again.
"Lord Wang! The other side is trying to sail towards our ship, trying to close the distance and bombard us with their 50 mm caliber. Li Huamei smiled: "Do you want to throw them off at a speed of twenty knots and shell them while keeping a distance?"
Yi Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't be so ruthless." In case the enemy's confidence is lost, which is not conducive to international unity, let them come closer, and we will just test other secondary artillery. Just now the 340 mm caliber gun has been used. The secondary cannon didn't have a chance to be used. ”
"Okay. Li Huamei smiled: "I also want to try the power of the 120 mm caliber secondary gun that can fire continuously." ”
Redbeard's fleet had been overturned by Iwan's main guns, but the pirates were still fighting for themselves, after all, the enemy only had one ship, and they thought that if they could get closer, with a salvo of cannons from a dozen of their warships, this big black iron ship would definitely die. Redbeard had reason to think that an iron ship could not be faster than their wooden one.
Sure enough, the speed of the big iron ship was very fast just now, but now it slowed down, and it seemed that it was turning around with great difficulty on the surface of the sea.
Redbeard laughed and said, "This huge iron ship has no sails, it must be rowed by manpower, and now the rowers have no strength." ”
The adjutant Andrew and the archmage Blackhart next to him both wiped their sweat: "Captain, what do you think...... It's a bit unreliable. ”
Redbeard snorted: "It's about to enter the five-mile range, all ships pay attention, line up the battle line, and seize the T-position." ”
In the battleship Da Meng, Yi Yun watched Redbeard's fleet turn and set up the formation, and his stomach hurt with laughter: "Oh, they are actually grabbing the T-shaped position and arranging the battle line, wahahaha." Pass my order, 120 mm caliber rapid-fire guns ready!"
Ten pits immediately appeared on the deck of the Big Moe, and ten secondary guns of 120 mm caliber, rising from the pits, appeared on the deck. Redbeard on the opposite side immediately saw this change, and snorted coldly: "Ten cannons are not as many as on my ship, I have 50 cannons on this ship, and the one-sided firepower is as much as 26, plus a dozen wingmen, you can fire two hundred cannons together, and the black iron ship is just like that......"
The European pirates began to reload nervously, they loaded the big black iron ball into the barrel, then stuffed it with gunpowder, and aimed nervously, since the Industrial Revolution, their ships were replaced with the latest cannons, but these cannons have not really been put into actual combat, so the pirates were also quite nervous, they waited intently for the moment when the enemy army entered the firing range.
But before the five nautical miles had entered, the enemy's secondary artillery opened fire again!
Ten 120 mm guns and howitzers roared at the same time, and the three pirate ships turned into fireballs in an instant.
Redbeard had red eyes and yelled, "Rush forward, and if you rush a little more, it will be our turn to fight back...... It takes time for the cannon on the opposite side to reload after firing, and this time is our chance......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the enemy's secondary artillery fire again......
It turned out that the Yiyun Army's 120 mm plus howitzer used a bullet supply chain system, which was simply not much different from the bullet chain of a machine gun.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Two more pirate ships turned into fireballs.
Redbeard's eyes widened, like two big bells: "It's impossible, fuck, it's absolutely impossible, fuck it, keep rushing forward, rush me......"
At this time, Yi Yun on the Da Meng made trouble with the demon moth again, and he said with a smile: "Artillerymen, deliberately slow down the pace to fight, so that Redbeard can get closer." ”
Li Huamei said: "Ah, lord, if you do this, they will soon be able to fight back against us." ”
"Let them fight back. Yi Yun smiled, "We have to try our armor too, don't we? If the armor with an average thickness of 100 mm doesn't come in handy, they'll cry." ”
Li Huamei Great Khan: "I have never heard of a naval battle that deliberately went up to be beaten. ”
"It doesn't matter anyway, you have to try everything. Yi Yun spread his hands.
The secondary cannon of the Da Meng slowed down the frequency of the attack, and Redbeard thought that there was an opportunity, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Although their cannon is a continuous fire, it can't last, and now the offensive has finally slowed down, small ones, charge me!"
The pirates finally rushed into the firing range of five nautical miles, and they hurriedly opened fire with excitement, at this time there were still six remaining pirate warships, and they turned to the side at the same time to open fire, but there were also more than a hundred cannons in unison, the momentum was quite loud, and more than a hundred black iron balls flew towards the big meng.
The hit rate of these cannons is not high, after all, the old artillery is aimed at with the naked eye, and there will always be a deviation of a few meters, so only a dozen or so cannons of more than a hundred guns hit the big moe.
Redbeard and the pirates happily look forward to the scene of the Big Moe being punched out with a dozen holes, but they only see the cannonball hit the Big Moe's armor, only to send out a line of sparks, and then bounce back and fall into the sea.
"Ahh
All the pirates were shocked.
"Cannons don't work against this iron ship?"
"We should have thought a long time ago, this is a ship made of iron, how can the cannon be moved?"
"It's over, what should I do now?"
Redbeard said angrily: "Barbarossa, the greatest pirate in the Mediterranean, must not admit defeat easily! ”
"Oh!" the pirates roared loudly, and the pigs began to spurt.
The Big Moe lazily fired a cannon and sank another battleship.
Li Huamei reported loudly: "Lord Wang, there are five pirate ships that are ramming into our ship, do you want to let the secondary guns fire rapidly and send them all to the bottom of the sea?"
"No need!" Yi Yun waved his hand and said: "Let them jump up, we have to try the last weapon, and I have already said that I will capture them, although the cannons on their ships are old-fashioned, but after all, each cannon is made of thousands of catties of iron, and I can transform them into new weapons if I grab them." ”
"Oh, that's right, our army is short of iron!" Li Huamei said with a smile: "It's a good way to grab some old cannons to renovate." ”
After a while, the last five warships of the Redbeard Pirates finally stuck to the side of the Big Moe, and the pirates nervously held knives, shields, short-handled rifles and other things, and planned to jump into the gang to fight.
At this time...... A row of firing holes slipped open on both sides of the Da Meng, and a group of Yiwu gunners grinned as they stretched out their new weapons from the holes...... (To be continued.) )
