Volume 2 Gang Crush Chapter 73 Unexpected

At the beginning of the hour, the Black Shark battleship, fifteen warships, and ten cargo ships set sail.

As soon as he left the harbor, the lookout suddenly sounded a rapid horn warning sound. Chen Zuyi and Lin Xian walked quickly to the top of the deck, took the clairvoyance handed by the guard, and saw a forest of sails in the distance, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, there are at least forty or fifty warships here! Where did so many warships come from, and when they got closer, each ship carried the banner of the Majapahit Sailors.

"Get ready to fight! As soon as the battle began, the cargo ship immediately broke away from the fleet and returned to Lombok first! Chen Zuyi quickly issued a combat order. In any case, there is no reason to spit out the fat in the mouth. Although the other party has forty or fifty warships, they seem to be around a thousand materials, which is a cut short of their own size. It's no problem to drag on for a while, and when the time comes, you should not lose too much while fighting and retreating. At present, this is the best way, because the entire outlet to the sea is so wide, and there is no way to avoid it.

Looking at the continuous reliance on the opponent's fleet, the Black Shark Army lost the excitement just now. All of them are nervously watching, waiting for the big battle to begin!

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Swap out all of them! Let them know the history of our artillery! "Zhao Changle didn't know when he was directing a group of people in messy clothes to change the ship's artillery.

"Huh? Changle, what are you doing! Chen Zuyi asked, he was a little anxious, this is almost to the distance of the shelling, this guy is still changing the guns on the ship, two or two!

"Hehe, boss, I'll replace this side with a new type of siege artillery, and I'll let the brothers try it later, it's absolutely sharp!" Zhao Changle's answer made Chen Zuyi roll his eyes, if it weren't for the brothers who had been allied together, he would have almost suspected that this guy was a spy sent by the other party! It's still the kind of two!

"Can't you change it after the war? I didn't see that this was going to war! ”

"After the war, I will have a use for it! Boss, just wait and see the show! ”

Chen Zuyi looked at this guy speechlessly, and then saw the person who helped with the work, "Who are these people?" How come I haven't seen it? ”

"This is our craftsman! Since we are observing the power of the artillery, we must bring the casting master over! "Zhao Changle is a natural and authentic picture.

"That makes sense, but why didn't anyone tell me they were on my ship?" Chen Zuyi asked with a headache.

"It's not that we grabbed too many things this time, and other ships can't fit it, so we can only stay on your ship with the guns, the boss must not mind, right?" Zhao Changle said with a smile.

"I ...... Don't mind! Hurry up and get it! Chen Zuyi waved helplessly, and let his guards go up to help. Finally, when the distance was two miles, all ten guns on the side of his ship were replaced with siege guns.

The craftsmen opened the boxes one by one, and the boxes contained clumps of things wrapped in silk. The craftsmen stuffed the package into the muzzle of the cannon and smashed it to the end with a long-handled wooden stick, and then put an iron ball into the cannon. Finally, someone added a fire rope to the cannon cover door. And that's not all, as the lookouts kept telling the distance, they were still adjusting the muzzle angle.

Chen Zuyi carefully observed this batch of artillery, only to find that it was different from the usual use. His new artillery has cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate. The length of the gun is about one battle, and the caliber is at least four inches, which is more than twice as thick as the usual ship-based guns with a caliber of 2 inches, and the weight of the body is more than 20 quintals, that is, about 1 ton.

When the battleship was still about a mile away from the opponent, the Black Shark warship suddenly rowed out of an arc and lined up, and suddenly opened fire. Only then did the other party hurriedly adjust the guns of the warships, and the craftsmen who calibrated the artillery worked a little shy in braving the fire.

"School distance complete! Ignition! With a shout, the calibration was finally completed, and the guards with burning torches hurriedly gathered on the fire rope and lit them, and the guards who lit the fire one by one were more unlucky, and were directly hit by the whistling cannonballs, and the whole person was broken without a sound. The torch fell to the ground, and Zhao Changle ran over to pick up the torch and re-light the rope. It's a long story, it's just a breath away.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Ten cannons rang out one after another, and I saw that the Javanese warship not far away trembled a few times, and several large holes appeared in the strings of the ship, which had begun to fill the ship with water, and then slowly tilted and fell. The ship's sailors jumped into the sea in panic, but most of them were still pounced on the bottom of the sea.

"Hurry up and reload!" Zhao Changle urged the group of craftsmen. Turning his head to look at his boss, his whole face was full of wrinkles, "Boss, how is it!" Accurate, sharp or not! ”

"! Yes! I've never seen such a good artillery on the spot, and eight out of ten shots hit it, it's too sharp! Chen Zuyi's inner tension relaxed slightly, naval battles have been fought countless times, the power of artillery is great, and the shortcomings are also obvious, there is no accuracy at all, and it can only be made up by quantity.

Just as the second round of shells was being replaced, the opposite warship had already adjusted its position, and the artillery suddenly roared, and the cannons poured over like rain, and the main masts of the two warships of the Black Shark Army were immediately broken, so the rudder towers on the warship were all broken. The gunners who operated the guns on the deck also lost a dozen of them, leaving a pile of severed limbs and rows of blood-colored marks on the deck!

Zhao Changle and the others adjusted the angle again, and after one round of artillery fire, there were six more artillery hits on a slightly farther warship, and the other party also slowly tilted and sank.

"This TM is a sniper! You've done a great job this time! The gunsmith will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and the craftsman will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver each! When you get back, you can give me a list! By the way, there will be a pair of weapon improvers in the future, as long as they are useful in actual combat, all of them will be rewarded! ”

"Thank you for the reward!"

"Xie Dongjia!"

……

When the group of craftsmen who braved the fire to fill the gunpowder heard this, they immediately fell to their knees in excitement, they have always been the lowest existence. This time, the annual commission of the island swallowing the moon island is one hundred taels of silver, pay first and then work, they all think that the price is sky-high, but they didn't expect it to be just a small improvement, and the reward is so much! This strengthened their desire to improve! Now even the fierce artillery of the other side can't frighten them, a brave one!

After sinking ten warships on the other side, two warships were also sunk on the side of the Black Shark Army, namely the Youzi warship and the Xinzi warship, they were all 1,500 warships, the guard plate armor was not so thick, and more than 20 shells were fired, the outer deck was shattered, the ship's side was broken into the water, and finally capsized! Fortunately, there were clippers with them, and most of the soldiers got on the clippers, and some were rescued, and some died in the water.

The first to be unbearable was the Javanese navy, and according to this ratio, they would not be able to destroy the opponent's fleet. They took the lead in the attack with a large number of people!

Since the Black Shark Army has an advantage in artillery, it naturally refuses to engage in gang battles, especially the flagship of the Black Shark, constantly distancing itself from the other side, in the rumble of rounds of artillery, until the barrels are red, a group of people are busy playing seawater to cool the barrels, and sinking five other warships of the opponent. Since the ship was on the move, coupled with the turbulence of the waves, three out of ten hits were already a great target.

The Black Shark Army warships have already opened a scattered battlefield with the other party in this channel at the mouth of the sea. The cargo ship had already taken advantage of the fierce fighting between the two sides and slipped away, but it was a pity that the two warships sank to the bottom. It contained a portion of the rice rations and the soldiers' own belongings.

There were already five warships fighting with the Javanese sailors, and although the other side was outnumbered, it did not have much advantage on ships with limited space, especially against the well-trained Black Shark Army.

When the sixth warship was also overtaken due to the overloading of things on board and the bulky hull, Matsumoto Tsukikage was not afraid and rushed to the opponent's warship with all the samurai. This was beyond the other party's expectations, and he was put down by dozens of the other party when he was slightly stunned. The sailors on the ship hurriedly lined up to fight back, but unfortunately the opportunity was lost, but the other party was killed without leaving a piece of armor in the meal.

Matsumoto Tsukikage had just returned to the ship with his men and asked them to set sail again, only to have another warship catch their gang and have to fight again. In this way, they killed three waves of jumping enemy troops in a row, killing and wounding the whites, and they got rid of the battle of being jumped by the gang. The people of the battalion were so tired that they didn't want to move, and they collapsed on the deck one by one, either sitting or lying, regardless of the severed limbs and blood stains on the deck.

What was even worse than the Xuzi Battalion was that Lin Er of the C-shaped Battalion was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and was also jumped by two enemy ships at the same time. The C-shaped battalion is an old battalion, and their combat strength is one section higher than that of other battalions. Although they faced the enemy on both sides, they were still defeated by them!

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, three more ships jumped to the gang at the same time, so angry that Lin Er scolded his mother. In the face of almost three times the number of enemy troops, the iron bucket array was used to the extreme, and it took half an hour to grind most of the enemy to death, and the rest of the people either jumped into the sea or fled back to the ship, cut the tied cable by themselves, and fled as if flying.

When he left the battle group, Lin Er counted the battle damage, and most of the dead and wounded were killed, he really wanted to cry without tears!

A total of nine battalions of warships were overtaken, and only Chen Zuyi's flagship was always cruising around to fight guerrillas, sinking a total of 15 warships, and the number of times the new fortified guns were light-cooled is no longer counted.

Two hours later, the enemy warships took the initiative to retreat, and they did not expect that their own warships were three times the number of the opponent's, and the number of them was almost three times that of the opponent, they were beaten so badly.

Twenty ships returned to the city of Suqadana, seven were captured and eighteen sunk. Majapahit studied under General Xuanwu of Sipin, and General Morenoma's face was like earth at this time, and he didn't know how to explain to the Governor!

He was ordered by the governor to lead 30,000 sailors from Suqadana to Pontianak, and as soon as the fleet entered the port passage, he was met by a group of warships without flags. I thought it was a colleague from elsewhere who was transporting supplies, but everyone knew that the governor was going to make a big move recently and was mobilizing supplies from all sides. Who knew that when he got closer, he used clairvoyance to see the other party's red clothes and red armor, which was clearly the sailor of the Three Buddhas, and he hurriedly put the warship on guard.

The other party is also a gang of killers, and it doesn't matter if the battle flag is not displayed on the sea, and the war is not declared. These guys don't have any scruples at all, you must know that Sriwijaya has just signed an armistice agreement with his country, and now he is playing sneak attack! I don't know what Shi Jinqing, the governor of the Three Buddhas, is going to do?

hesitated and lost the opportunity, plus the opponent had a particularly powerful artillery, which sank more than a dozen of its own warships! The gang battle also suffered a big loss, and his own side died and lost 17,000 soldiers and horses. The Three Buddhas, who are usually like white rabbits, are like being possessed by Lord Shiva. If he hadn't retreated immediately, it was estimated that the whole army would have been wiped out!
