216, Yiwu Gun Soldier Volley [3/3]
"Bump!"
After the cannonball shot by Yi Yun crossed the range of 500 meters, it hit the side of the ironclad ship, because the ironclad ship is relatively large, and Yi Yun aimed at the center of the big ship, even if the cannonball is a little off, it can also hit the enemy ship, and his first shot is sure to hit, because the first shot will affect morale very much.
The cannonball hit the three-millimeter-thick iron armor with a muffled "bump" sound, and the iron armor instantly sank into a large hole, and then the shell pierced through the armor and smashed into the back deck, smashing the deck into a hole the size of a football.
At the same time, Jaime's cannonball also crossed the sky and landed on the foredeck of the ironclad ship, where there was no ironclad, so the cannonball hit the deck directly, and the huge impact force was not blocked by the iron plate, smashing the wood on the deck of the ship, and the flying pieces of wood knocked a Japanese "spearman" to the ground, and it seemed that it was not alive.
"Wahahaha!bingo!" cried Jaime cheered.
Yi Yun glanced at him and smiled, "Are you British or French?" ”
"I'm a Frenchman who likes to speak English......"
Evan: "......"
At this time, the auxiliary artillerymen of both of Yiyun's Jaime began to get busy, helping their cannons to clear their guns, changing the guns, pouring water to cool the barrels, and preparing to cast the second cannon, Jaime took this opportunity to clap his hands and said with a smile: "The Franco cannon produced in the Great Meng Country is really good, and the quality is not inferior to our cannons made in Western Europe." ”
"Nonsense!" Yi Yun snorted: "This is not the twenty-first century, everything is good for foreign countries, in this era, the domestic goods of Da Meng Country are the best." ”
Jaime couldn't understand what he was talking about, foreign, domestic. I had to shrug my shoulders, thinking that my big cute language had not learned home.
At this time, the Japanese had already begun to return fire, and the bow of the ironclad ship had two turrets protected by ironclad armor, which looked like two square boxes, and the boxes had long barrels sticking out of them. The two barrels of the cannon flashed two flames at the same time, followed by the sound of cannonballs slicing through the air.
"Lie down!" exclaimed Evan.
Luo leg hair is the fastest one to lie down. Last time I fought with Iwan in Dumb Creek. As soon as he saw Iyun firing the cannon, he would lie down. It's the same now, as soon as the other party fires the cannon, Luo's leg hair immediately falls to the ground, and the fifty water bandits under his command are also faster than one another. But the fifty nominal black-bells didn't react...... Yiwu soldiers are facing the enemy. How can there be any reason to be afraid? This group of fierce soldiers actually stood stupidly with fire guns in their arms.
Yi Yun's heart is not good, if this is hit, there will be casualties immediately...... God willing, don't miss......
"Click!"
A cannonball hit the deck at the back of the ship, splattering many pieces of wood. One of them scratched a Ukrainian soldier. Fortunately, it only hurt his arm. Not fatal. The other shell missed, although the shells fired by the artillery were much more accurate than those of ordinary people. But in the case of a long distance, there is an error of a few meters, and Yiyun's ship is small, and if the opponent does not aim at the middle of the hull, it is not so easy to hit.
As soon as these two shells passed, the artillery on the Japanese ironclad ship also began to reload, and there was no need to worry about being shelled again within a minute or two, Yi Yun took the opportunity to scold at a group of Yiwu soldiers: "Courage is good, but bravery regardless of the occasion is wrong, remember to me, the other party must lie down when firing a cannon!"
"Lord Wang, we Yiwu people are not cowardly. A Yiwu soldier said indignantly: "Never lie down when facing the enemy." ”
"Fart, what are you talking about with cannonballs?" Yi Yun said angrily: "This is an order, the next time the cannonball comes, you must lie down." ”
"Okay!" The Yiwu soldiers were still quite obedient, and although they felt that Yi Yun's order was "unreasonable", they still decided to obey. ...,
"Jaime, reloaded, fire again. Eyun jumped up and aimed at the enemy ship on the opposite side, and Jaime also aimed with him: "Boom, boom!"
Two cannons rang out, and both shells didn't hit......
It turned out that at this time, the ironclad ship was already full of sails, and a lot of pulp was stretched out, and the bandits on Yiyun's side also began to row the boat with all their might. Both ships are maneuvering at a very fast pace, and in this case it is already difficult to hit accurately with shells, unlike the first round of shelling just now, for which neither side was prepared.
In the last battle of Duxi, Yi Yun's artillery was relatively accurate, because the quicksand in Duxi was gentle, and the speed of the ship was very slow, and it was much easier to hit the cannon when it was relatively stationary.
The two sides fought back and forth four or five rounds of shelling, and the hit rate was pitifully low, and Yi Yun basically only hit the first shot, and never hit again. Instead, Jaime hit three shots, and it seems that his gunnery has been specially practiced, and he is not just an "artilleryman" profession, but also has a wealth of experience in shelling.
The shells sent from Fuso's side also hit the deck, only two hit the deck, and two large holes were made in the deck, but no more damage was caused.
At this time, Yi Yun's ship was holding a cannon, and at the same time sailing towards the reef group in the south, Li Huamei's boat was hiding there, and it was necessary to get there to let Li Huamei come out to sneak attack, but now this kind of painless attack could not completely attract the attention of the Japanese Kou, Yi Yun saw that the other party's guns were all holding iron cannons (the Fuso people called fire guns), and looked at the sea next to them very seriously, Li Huamei's boat rushed out and may not be able to get close to the enemy ship smoothly, and will be hit by the concentrated fire of these firecrackers.
"There is no practical point in fighting like this, we have to get closer and force the opponent's firecrackers to join the battle as well!" Yi Yun shouted: "Luo Leg Mao, keep the T-shaped position, and let the distance between the enemy ship and our ship be close to within two hundred meters, can you do it?"
"Of course it can be done!" Luo Leg Mao said with a smile: "With our small and flexible boat, I can do any strange moves." He made a few gestures to the bandits next to him, and said loudly, "It's time to close the distance, children be careful with me." ”
Yi Yun also shouted at the Yiwu soldiers: "Be careful, you have to close the distance, the fire gun is loaded!"
The two ships began to get closer and closer under the control of Luo Legmao, and once they began to get closer, the hit rate of the cannons increased dramatically, although both ships could only shoot two shells at a time, but with the increase in the hit rate, the two shells were quite scary. Any flesh and blood will be torn to shreds if it is touched by a cannonball, and everyone can only pray that the cannonball does not fall on them.
By the time they began to get closer to a distance of three hundred meters, Eyun's shells were already able to accurately hit the enemy ships, almost all of them missed, and each cannon would drill a large hole in the enemy ship, bringing up a cloud of wood chips. And the two artillery of the Japanese also hit Yiyun's ship several times in a row, two water bandits were wounded, and one Ukrainian soldier was seriously injured, but fortunately, Yiyun quickly transferred to the "famous doctor" and saved their lives.
When the two ships approached close to two hundred meters, the cannon hardly needed to be aimed, as long as it fired at the opposite ship, it could easily hit, and the soldiers on both sides began to waver a little under the threat of the artillery. Fusang's soldiers all shrank behind the iron armor, but they also knew that the three-millimeter-thick iron armor could only resist bows and arrows, not even firecrackers, let alone cannonballs, and it was not safe to hide behind the iron armor, so they were all a little worried in their hearts.
The water bandits on Yiyun's side were also a little cowardly, and everyone lay on the deck and didn't dare to take their heads. At this time, the power of the Yiwu warriors began to appear, although they lay on the deck according to Yi Yun's order, but there was no frightened expression on their faces, instead, a kind of fanatical emotion, as if it was a very honorable thing to fight hard, in the face of the enemy artillery that was getting closer and closer, they all had an urge to jump up and resist. ...,
Guncorps shooting, that's what you want with this kind of momentum!
For example, during the American Civil War, the two armies lined up, walked forward with neat steps to the sound of military music, and after getting very close, they killed each other with firearms. This is the inevitable process of hot weapon warfare when the firearms are not yet advanced.
The most important thing in this way of lining up to shoot is the courage of the soldiers. And the last thing that Yiwu soldiers lack is courage, and at this point, the Fusang soldiers can't catch up.
The two ships had just entered the firing range of 200 meters, and when the Fusang soldiers were still hesitating whether to poke their heads out under the suppression of artillery fire, the Yiwu soldiers suddenly roared and jumped together.
"Concentrated fire...... Shoot at the opponent's battery!" Iyun ordered loudly.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Sniper!"
The Yiwu soldiers roared at the same time, and the fifty firecrackers aimed at Fusang's bow cannon together, the red light lit up, and the fifty firecrackers roared at the same time, and the "sniper" skill was cast at the same time.
For a moment, the sky was filled with the sound of a penny of bullets cutting through the air, and Fuso's fort was a hidden turret covered with iron armor, but the three-millimeter-thick iron armor was not enough to withstand the bombardment of the firearms. Under the chaotic bombardment, there was a clanging, ping-pong sound from the iron armor in front of the fort, and many bullets hit the iron armor continuously, drilling many holes the size of little fingers.
The "artillerymen" who were hiding in the battery to load shells did not know how many penny shells were hit in an instant, and the two bow guns actually fired at the same time.
This time it really stunned the Fusang people, they have fought many times with the officers and soldiers of the Great Meng Country, but they have never seen so many "guns" in the Big Meng Country, and the soldiers of the Big Meng Country occasionally use firearms, but they are all ordinary people who have no profession to play guns, and the hit power and power are very bad, and they are not in their eyes at all.
What is going on today? In an instant, 50 "gunners" were drilled out, and a round of guns killed the artillerymen...... It's miserable. A Fuso samurai shouted, "Let's bombard their forts too...... Soldiers!"...... ,
