215. Start Shelling [2/3]
"Huh, you have an 'artilleryman?' that's a very rare profession. Li Huamei was slightly taken aback: "I only know that the West is rich in 'artillery', but it is difficult for us to find this kind of profession in Damengguo, and all of them are serving the imperial court, where did you get the artillery?"
Yi Yun spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't have to look for it, I am, hahaha!" A red light flashed on his body, and two big words jumped up above his head: "Artillery".
"I'm an artilleryman! I'll shoot at the enemy ship with your artillerymen, trying to entangle the other party's three 'artillery', and then my subordinate 'gunners' will also entangle the opponent's 'gunners', and your sailors will rush to the enemy ship in a rush and should be able to kill them. ”
"Okay, just do it!" Li Huamei is not the kind of woman who twists, in fact, she is a woman with a very bright style, dare to fight, brave and decisive, so she has the nickname of "Xiang Scarlet Tiger": "I let my artillery go to your ship, your ship does not have to get close, just hold back from a distance, use cannons and guns to attract the attention of the ironclad ship, I find an opportunity to approach from the other direction and fight a broadside battle." ”
"No problem!" Yi Yun was reluctant to fight with his own soldiers, and long-distance containment was exactly what he couldn't ask for.
Li Huamei turned around and instructed Yang Xien: "Go and call our artillery to come and go to Long Gongzi's ship." ”
Yang Xien should go, and after a while, he brought a young man over, Yi Yun looked at it, and was surprised, this young man was actually a Westerner, with long blond hair, wearing a blue robe and brown leather boots.
"Western artillery?" said Iyunqi.
"That's right, my name is James Jack Rudway, French, twenty-five years old, unmarried. The young man stretched out his hand, twisted out a gesture to shake hands, and then took it back and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I forgot that Orientals don't like to shake hands." ”
"Oh no! I'm not averse to shaking hands. Yi Yun stretched out his hand and shook it with him: "You Westerners have too long names, I'll give you the name of Da Meng Country, just call it Fa Yi ......."
"Oh!no!" the French boy actually called out in English: "No, I don't want to call Fayi, it's too ugly, you can just call me James." ”
Eyun smiled, "Okay, Jaime, what skills do you have as a Western artilleryman?"
Jaime shrugged his shoulders and behaved more frivolously than Yiyun: "Like the artillery of the Great Meng Kingdom, the artillery bombardment, the mastery of gunnery, and the legend of the crater...... God created artillery, but the yellow and white artillery, may have been for the sake of fairness. By the way, there are actually fifty 'guns' on your ship, which is amazing, and you are the one with the most 'guns' I've ever seen. ”
Yi Yun thought to himself: Will I scare him if I bring out all 500 of them? Forget it, don't bully foreign children.
Yi Yun took him on his Golden Merry, and put him in charge of the stern guns, and Yi Yun himself was in charge of the bow guns, and the poor Guan ship was only loaded with two guns, so there was really not much room to play, but considering that the opponent's ironclad ship was also only loaded with three guns, his heart was more balanced.
When he was ready, Yi Yun motioned for Li Huamei's warship to hide first, while his own Golden Melly sailed out of the reef area and headed for the northern sea.
"Raise the sails! Prepare for battle!" Luo Legmao shouted loudly, all the fifty sailors under his command were all in full array, for these sailors, intercepting cargo ships was a common thing, but intercepting warships was the first one, and there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.
Fifty "gunners" from Yiwu had solemn expressions on their faces, these people were not afraid of death, but they were a little nervous when they went to the battlefield for the first time. Yiwu people are born with a fierce spirit in their blood, and these fifty people are thinking at this time: Lao Tzu is a big deal to fight with the enemy. …,
Seeing their expressions, Yi Yun secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong, something was wrong, these guys had not yet entered the battlefield, and they were thinking about desperate things. No, my soldiers are precious, but they are not used to die. He shouted: "Attention everyone, our task is only to attract each other's attention, don't fight hard." Protecting your lives is the first priority, remember, don't try hard. ”
"How can you fight if you don't fight hard?" Yiwu soldiers were at a loss, for them, fighting a war is desperate.
Yi Yun said loudly: "I only know that I can't fight if I work hard! I remember it all, in today's battle, saving your life is the first, making meritorious service second, and saving your life is to make meritorious service." ”
"This ......" everyone sweated profusely.
"Luo Leg Mao!" Yi Yun shouted loudly: "I remember that during the First Battle of Duxi, you controlled the warship and kept it far away from our officers and soldiers' warships, and you have to do the same today, so that our warships are always one hundred and fifty meters away from the opponent's ironclad ships, and we are not allowed to approach." ”
"It's a piece of cake!" Luo Legmao said loudly: "The other party is a ship covered in iron armor, and it is relatively large, it is full of goods and soldiers, it must be very slow, I will not let the other party approach." ”
"Okay!" Yi Yun said again: "Black Lancer, prepare a shield for me, all those who are 'guards' by profession, check the shield for me twice......
"What is the Black Lancer?" the bandits were at a loss.
"I'll rub it, it's the name I gave you!forgot?" Yi Yun was furious: "Forget it, this name won't be given to you, you still call it the Water Bandit Army." ”
Water Bandits: "......"
Dozens of shields were erected and lined up on the port side, as Iyun intended to use the port side towards his opponent. So this side will be focused on being taken care of. Thinking that there were three "artillerymen" on the other side, and the power of the cannon was not something that a shield could block, Yi Yun felt that their shield wall was too dense, so he asked them to withdraw the shield array and stand a little apart.
After everything was ready to stop, the sail shadow of the ironclad ship of the Nine Ghost Family appeared on the sea in the north, and the "scouts" of the other party obviously also discovered Yiyun's warship, and the figure on the deck shook for a while, and the Japanese robbers also began to fight.
Yi Yun carefully observed with a "distant look", and saw that under the side armor on both sides of the ironclad ship, there were many Hessesen guns, about seventy or eighty, and it seemed that there were seventy or eighty 'guns' on the ironclad ship. In addition, there are many 'spear-wielding' and sword-wielding 'kenashigaru', and there are two cannons in the bow, which are supposed to be called "big barrels" in Fuso dialect, and there is also a "large barrel" in the stern of the ship, making a total of three.
It is indeed difficult for the two cannons of the side to fight against the three cannons of the opponent......
He suddenly had an idea, and remembered one thing, there was a common sense in naval battles in later generations, the most advantageous position was the T-position, that is, to have his side facing the bow of the opponent's ship, so that the opponent only had the bow gun to fire, and the stern gun could not fire, but the bow and stern guns of the side could fire.
If you can perfectly grab the T-shaped position, you can turn the opponent's three guns into only two bow guns, and the advantage of one less gun can make up for it.
"Luo Lemao, I want this battle from beginning to end, the capital of the opponent's ship is facing our port side, can you do it?"
"Why is that?" Luo Leg Mao was puzzled, no wonder he didn't understand, the tactical idea of the T-shaped position had not yet been developed in this era, and Yi Yun was ahead of the stream of consciousness again. He had to spend a few more minutes explaining to Luo Leg Mao, and Luo Leg Mao understood this truth as soon as he heard it, and immediately said happily: "No problem, I promise to keep grabbing the opponent's kicking position." "He didn't know what a t was, so he read it and kicked it.
Time passed slowly, and the two warships were getting closer and closer on the sea, and there was still a mile and a half away from each other, and the Japanese on the opposite ship suddenly shouted in unison in a cute language: "You guys...... Who are they? Why are they blocking our waterway......"...,
Yi Yun instructed the soldiers on the ship to say in unison: "I drove this mountain, this road ...... Ahem, no, there are no mountains or trees here...... Leave it alone, stay and buy the road money. ”
The Japanese on the other side were at a loss for a while, hearing this, the other party was also a Japanese Kou, right? So he responded: "Which family are you from? We are the Nine Ghost Water Army...... Don't fight against your own people......"
Yi Yun became mischievous and called the soldier to shout: "We are the ...... of the Maori family"
"What?Maori Navy?" The relationship between the Nine Ghost Navy, the Maori Navy, and the Maori Navy, the other side was furious, and began to scold in Fusang language, they scolded Yiyun couldn't understand anything, anyway, it should be something Baga, Baga Ya Deer, Yaga Ya Deer tearing and tearing and tearing and other words.
Yi Yun was not to be outdone, and also let the sailors scold in unison: "Baga, Baga, you girl, fight with you ...... death"
The warships of the two sides were getting closer and closer in the scolding, and seeing that about five hundred meters, the cannon could already greet each other, Yi Yun gave an order, Luo Leg Mao slammed the rudder, and the ship made a beautiful side turn on the sea, and suddenly turned into a starhead against the ironclad ship with the port side.
"Jaime, bombard the enemy ship!" Iyun yelled at the stern, then lit the arquebus of the bow gun.
Jaime at the stern heard him and unceremoniously lit the arquebus of the stern cannon.
The two cannons rotated their muzzles together and aimed at the ironclad ship.
At this time, the ironclad ships of the Nine Ghost Family were still at a loss, why did the enemy ship suddenly fight sideways? Water warfare in this era is not like this, everyone is rushing straight to the past, while approaching while shelling, when it is close, it becomes a gunfire, and finally crashes into each other to fight a broadside battle, which is the mainstream of water warfare.
Halfway through like Iwan, he suddenly turned his side against someone, and then began to play in a circle, which he had never heard of.
"Boom, boom!" The bow and stern guns roared at the same time, and the cannonballs fired by Eyun and Jaime whizzed towards the ironclad ship at the same time, and the cannon was discharged faster than the sound in these years, but the speed slowed down as soon as the flight distance was long, so it became faster than the cannonball.
The pirates saw the bow and stern of the boat on the opposite side glow at the same time, and then there was a sharp sound of cannonballs in the sky, and they knew that the cannon had been fired on the other side. A group of pirates threw themselves on the deck at the same time, shouting: "Return fire, artillery, return fire......
