Chapter 222: An Instant Hit
Yang Zhi has been at sea for about ten days, and every day when he goes to sea, he looks at the sun and the position of the sun to calculate the time.
Fishermen come and go a lot, and if they find that there are no more fish in this place, they change to another place.
And today, Yang Zhi was lying on the deck dreaming, and in the dream he rolled into the big bed with several wives, and that taste can only be dreamed.
But when he was dreaming, he was suddenly awakened by a shout, and Yang Zhi, who was about to scold, saw many people looking into the distance.
I saw a small boat rocking desperately, and then the people on it let out a shout.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming!"
This is the fishermen's early warning boat, generally fishing outside, the fishermen will send an early warning boat, once the pirate will be notified in time, and then everyone scatters and flees, this method is also slowly developed by generations of fishermen.
Yang Zhi walked over, holding a telescope in his hand, this is a product of Yang Yuan, and Yang Zhi will definitely bring it when he goes to sea.
In the binoculars, Yang Zhi really saw dozens of pirate ships coming in their direction, and at most half an hour could reach the distance of attack.
Yang Zhi handed the telescope to Chen Dong beside him, and then said softly: "Do you see it, it's up to you whether you can become a hit next!" ”
Chen Dong took the telescope handed over by Yang Zhi, and after finding the location of the pirate ship, he sneered: "Young master, don't worry, I will definitely let them come and go." ”
Yang Zhi continued to return to his position and sit down, really when he was stupid, knowing that there were Ryukyu pirates on this sea, he still came to send him to death.
Now he can't hunt down these pirates, but that doesn't mean these pirates can't come up and die.
The five hidden artillery pieces were installed on the big ship, and all the shells were loaded, Yang Zhi didn't leave for so many days, just waiting for a shot to become popular.
It's also time for the people of this world to see what the age of thermal weapons is.
Chen Dong began to arrange the surrounding warships in an orderly manner, and the fishermen's fishing boats also drove back under the arrangement.
The escort warships of the Jinling Army also began to line up, and I have to say that the military discipline of the Jinling Army is still very strict, and they did not flee when they saw the pirate ships coming, but prepared to block these pirate ships according to the usual training methods.
Yang Zhi was not interested in the tactics of the Jinling Army, but lay down with peace of mind, and someone behind him was carefully massaging him, this was the new technician beside Yang Zhi.
Technician Wang Yuyan, she is the black armor guard next to Yang Zhi, she has been inseparable from Yang Zhi during this time, and she is the only one who can be by Yang Zhi's side at any time.
Over time, Yang Zhidu got used to having such a person by his side, although he couldn't see his face, his hands were still very soft.
Chen Dong looked at the pirate ships with binoculars, determined the number of pirate ships, and the location, and then asked the brothers in his artillery battalion to start calibrating the cannons, just waiting for these pirate ships to approach.
"Chen Dong, you kid pay attention to me, don't scare these bastards away for me, get closer and fight again!"
Chen Dong smiled hesitantly: "Young master, don't worry, I guarantee that they won't be able to run away from a boat." ”
"That's good, if you run away, I'll punish you for not being able to go to Wanhualou for a year, and you can do it yourself!"
Chen Dong laughed and began to command his brothers, the brothers of the artillery battalion worked closely together, some were responsible for calibrating the artillery, some were responsible for loading the shells, and some were responsible for carrying the shells.
It's a pity that there are only five cannons, and if there are a little more, a hundred cannons will be fired at once, and the pirates will not be able to be crushed and directly fed to the fish.
Or the process can't catch up, otherwise it won't be artillery, but a real cannon, and some parts must be manufactured by sophisticated machines.
Relying on manual polishing and experimentation again and again, I don't know how long it will take to create a real cannon.
But there will definitely come a day, just like the world he lives in, it wasn't the era of cold weapons at the beginning.
Chen Dong's side was already starting to prepare, seeing the pirate's ship getting closer and closer, finally, Chen Dong's hand slowly fell, and then someone was responsible for igniting the fire.
The fire burns slowly!
Rumble!
The first roar was heard, there was a faint smoke from the barrel, and then a shell flew out.
Boom boom...
A few roars followed, and the remaining shells flew out.
The pirate ship on the other side had no idea what they were going to face.
For these Ryukyu pirates, for hundreds of years, they chased the officers and soldiers of the Daisheng Dynasty, came and went whenever they wanted, and they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers and warships of the Daisheng Dynasty at all.
But when the first shell landed on their deck, making a terrifying explosion, the Ryukyu pirates were stunned, and then a huge cannon crater appeared on the deck, and the surrounding area began to burn.
And this was just the beginning, and the next few shells, each one fell on the battleship.
The huge explosion even made the warship tremble slightly, and then there was a fire, and the surrounding pirates, basically without even shouting, were directly blown apart by the shells.
At this time, not only the pirates of the Ryukyus, the Jinling army, the fishermen, but even the Suzhou soldiers on Yang Zhi's big ship all opened their eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of them.
It's like the roar of the heavens, and when the cannonballs fall, it will inevitably bring a huge roar, and the screams of the pirates on the pirate ship who are not dead.
The picture in front of me is not a war, but the same terrible people's territory, as long as it is hit by two shells, the pirate ship will basically not move, and the fire will slowly spread, and finally burn the entire pirate ship.
The pirate ships that found something wrong wanted to run, but they originally came one by one, and when Chen Dong bombarded these pirate ships, he was very regular, hitting the pirate ships at the back first, and then there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment.
As a result, these boats that want to escape have nowhere to escape, because they are surrounded by their own people's boats that are blazing, and some of them are cowardly, and they jump directly into the sea, which will only attract the big fish in the sea and swallow them like food.
Dozens of pirate ships, in fact, there are only a dozen or so that have been scrapped by artillery, but these dozen or so ships have become an obstacle for pirate ships, so where do these pirate ships that have been frightened still have combat power.
Chen Dong directly ordered that all the warships around him rush up and besiege the pirates on these pirate ships.
It's not that Yang Zhi is reluctant to have shells, but his shells are already few, and they can't all be wasted on these pirates.
The Jinling army also killed the past, dozens of pirate ships, thousands of pirates, most of them were burned by the fire and had to jump into the sea, and the rest were either shot or killed by the artillery bombardment.
