Chapter 493: Divine Might
After listening to the herald's words, the corners of Gu Yunji's mouth hooked, and he chuckled: "Isn't this a coincidence, I just said that it would be best if the would-be robbers could take the initiative to attack, and now this is coming, it's time for our Shenwei cannon to show its skills."
Although Su Qi insisted on confronting the Japanese Kou, he was actually faintly worried in his heart, afraid that he would not be able to consume the other party, and when he heard this, his spirits were lifted, and his confidence was instantly filled: "It's so good! Pass my order, and let the surrounding warships immediately move closer to us, line up in a defensive formation, and prepare to meet us!"
"Yes!"
The herald received the order and immediately went down to report it. Soon, more than a dozen warships nearby approached here, surrounding the main warship where Su Qi and the others were located, forming a solid defensive formation.
"Push out the Kamui Cannon!"
With a command, the three Kamui cannons were pushed onto the decks of the three ships they were on, and the muzzles of the black hole were pointed diagonally towards the sky, aiming at the Japanese ships.
For the sake of safety and not to reveal the location of the main battle ship, there was no Shenwei cannon on the ship where Gu Yunji and the others were located, and the firing orders were mainly issued by the commanders and generals in front.
Although it has been simulated many times, there is a difference between theory and actual combat after all, this is the first time that the Shenwei cannon has been applied to the battlefield, whether it is "showing its might" or being bleak and dumb, it depends on the next performance.
The three of them were in the rear, and they couldn't see the details of the artillery firing clearly, so they could only stare closely at the ships in front of them, and their hearts were raised in unison.
"Four miles...... Three and a half miles...... Sanli ...... General, the Wako are about to enter the effective range of the Kamui cannon!"
To operate at maximum efficiency, a Shenwei cannon requires at least three soldiers to work together, one to replace the gun, one to ignite and fire, and one to aim and keep an eye on the enemy.
The soldier in charge of aiming was holding a Western telescope and immediately reported the distance of the Japanese to the commander. Hearing that the enemy had entered the effective firing range, the general's expression was awe-inspiring, and he immediately ordered: "All units prepare - fire!"
……
At this moment, the Japanese on the opposite side did not know what they were going to greet them, and they were still concentrating on carrying out Gao Shishu's plan, preparing to act as a vanguard, attract the vitality of officers and soldiers, and buy time for their companions to break through.
One of the would-be robbers stood on tiptoe and looked at the officers and soldiers, and exclaimed in surprise, "Chief, look, the ships of the officers and soldiers have begun to approach. It seems that the gang leader's prediction was correct, and when the encirclement from the east and south is loosened, the brothers will be able to take the opportunity to break through."
The Woko, whom he called "Chief", nodded and said in a deep voice, "At present, it seems that the plan is relatively successful, but it is still necessary to proceed with caution. When we look at so many ships, it's actually a bluff, and there are not many people on board."
"Now the battle is bound to lose, pay attention to the distance later, don't get too close to the ships of the officers and soldiers, just walk them from a distance......
Boom Boom Boom –
Before he finished speaking, there were suddenly three loud noises in his ears, and the huge sound was overwhelming, shaking the deck under people's feet and trembling slightly.
"What's going on?"
The pirates were so frightened that they almost didn't stand still, and looked around in a panic, only to find that the ships of their companions in front of them were blazing with flames, and half of the ships were destroyed. The people on the boat screamed and fled, while powerlessly sinking slowly with the wreck.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of the would-be robbers shrank violently, their faces instantly turned as white as paper, and they cried out in distraction, "It's artillery! Officers and soldiers actually have artillery! Finished...... Quick, retreat! Go back!"
For the Japanese who still take broadside warfare as the main way of fighting, artillery is simply a dimensionality reduction strike, and after realizing that the government has artillery weapons, they dare not hesitate at the moment, how can they remember what Gao Shishu's plan is not planned, and they are in a hurry to drive the ship back.
These would-be robbers are also well-informed, and it is not the first time they have come into contact with artillery, but the power of Fang Cai's artillery is so great that they directly destroyed a ship, and even the ship next to them was not spared, and they were all overturned. If the boat you are on is hit by it, how can you live?
As soon as he thought of the scene of the artillery firing just now, the Japanese were so frightened that their hands and feet trembled, and they smashed down in a cold sweat. He took a deep breath and tried to make
He calmed down, and did not forget to comfort his companions: "It's okay, it takes a long time for the artillery to be refilled once, and it is enough for us to withdraw ......."
Boom Boom Boom –
Before the words fell, a new round of shells followed, blowing up high waves on the sea.
This time, the luck of the Japanese was not good, a cannonball happened to land on one of their adjacent ships, and the huge force shook them so much that they fell directly to the ground, and the ships were almost overturned, and after a few violent shakings, fortunately they finally stabilized.
The interval between the two rounds of shells was only a few breaths, and some of the would-be pirates had already been blown up by the second round of shells before they could recover from the previous round.
The pirates were shocked when they saw this: "What's the matter! With such a short interval between two rounds of shells, could they not have brought dozens of cannons?"
However, they did not have much time to think, and seeing that the next round of shells was coming, they quickly turned the bow of the ship and drove straight to the reef area.
"It's okay...... It's okay...... The government is not familiar with the environment, so it is not easy to set foot in the reef area, as long as we get back to the shore smoothly, it will be fine......
A quarter of an hour earlier, the Japanese had been driving twenty or thirty boats, and they had come to provoke the officers and men with great vigour. However, after three uninterrupted successive firing of the Shenwei cannon, most of the ships were either directly destroyed or overturned in the sea, and now only three or four ships with better luck were left to flee back.
"Are you scared?" Seeing the Japanese Kou running back in a panic, Gu Yunji sneered, "What about escaping back to the reef sea, do you think this can stop our Shenwei cannon?"
The officers and men were well-trained, and seeing that the Japanese were about to leave the effective firing range, they knew that they would immediately adjust the Shenwei cannon and wait for the right time to fire.
Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the officers and soldiers, these surviving widows were also secretly relieved.
The ship slowly approached the shore, even if safety was in sight, a widow couldn't help but glance back at the official ship that had turned into a small black dot, and said with palpitations: "...... Chief, we should be okay now, right?"
Now they are four miles away from the officers and soldiers, and if they can still hit such a long distance, it will not be artillery, but a "magic cannon."
The leader of the Japanese Kou was dizzy by the previous mutation, and he still didn't come back to his senses, and said weakly: "It should really be fine, after all, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it is impossible to hit us from such a distance." Now that the situation has changed, I still have to go back in time to discuss with the helper......
Soon, however, he was speechless.
With the dull sound of three cannons in the distance, the pirates looked up and saw three small black dots flying towards them in the air.
In an instant, everyone's bodies stiffened, and the blood flowed backwards all over their bodies, except for staring blankly, there was no movement.
Before his consciousness was withdrawn, the widow opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something. However, before he could speak, the next moment the cannonball landed accurately, and after a bang on the ground, the surroundings fell silent.
