0479 twenty-nine guns

While they were discussing, the sailors on the warship began to break the water! Someone made a gesture to the back, only to hear the bell ring in the cabin, all the gun doors on the side of the ship were pushed open, and then the guns inside were pushed out!

The sight of the sudden appearance of artillery can freak out the pirates! Although the pirates quickly reacted and were in the dead end of the artillery, the sudden appearance of an extra row of artillery above their heads still scared them into a cold sweat!

But then someone reacted, the nine guns seen now are still on the port side, if you count the starboard ones, is there 18 guns?

He shouted at this voice, and the pirates immediately came back to their senses, and they ran to the bow and stern of the ship, to see if there was also a row of guns on the other side.

At that moment, someone on the deck shouted, "Brothers, push out the cannons and show those dirt buns!"

Then I heard someone on deck shouting in response. Then the pirates saw five more barrels sticking out of the ship's side! It turned out that there were not no guns on the deck, but that they were covered with gun jackets during the voyage and were not revealed.

Seeing five more cannons, one of the pirates was already surprised and slurred and said, "Ten, ten, fourteen cannons on one side!"

Hearing this, there was a burst of merry laughter from the overhead deck! Then a sailor stuck out his head and said, "Open your eyes, out of the buns? The ship was loaded with twenty-eight broadside guns, and one heavy gun in the stern, for a total of twenty-nine guns!"

The pirates were stunned when they heard this! Twenty-nine guns, a number they never thought of! Now their ships are equipped with three or five cannons at most, and they are all small cannons, and compared to the thick barrels above their heads, they are not on the same level at all!

Then another man on the side of the ship stuck his head out and said, "You are the pirates who have come to surrender, aren't you?"

The pirates were upset when they heard this! But the person was under the low eaves and had to bow his head, so he simply did not refute and did not speak. But the old pirate smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Brother, you're right, we're here to surrender!"

Hearing his words, the man on the line stuck his head out a little more, and said, "Then you are really lucky!"

The old pirate said, "What do you say? Brother, give me some pointers!"

The man on the boat smiled and asked, "What do you think of this ship?" How many of your ships can one ship beat?"

The old pirate pondered for a moment and said, "It's definitely no problem to fight two! It's easy to say that it's easy to fight three, but it's hard to fight four! It's hard to estimate any further up!".

The man on the side laughed and said, "You have good eyesight! During the exercise, the ship played four and easily won! We haven't tried many of them yet, but it's estimated that it won't be a problem to win five old ships! If the tactics are right, it is possible to deal with six or seven ships!"

The pirates didn't believe him when they heard him say that! Because they feel that it is even more difficult for artillery to aim at sea! Two or three hits in ten shots is already God forbid!

And they think they are unrivaled at sea, thinking that I can't beat you and can't hide from you? When the time comes, I can use the wind speed, ocean currents, and islands, and maybe I can turn defeat into victory! If you're lucky, you can take this ship over, and then you'll be at sea!

However, there are also many people who are speculating about the tactics of this kind of warship. It's just that they haven't fought with this kind of ship, and now they can't go on deck, so many things are difficult to estimate. But even so, the pirates walked back and forth on the trestle. Take a closer look at every detail of this ship!

There were even people who stretched out their hands to knock on the side of the ship, and judging by the sound, the material of this ship was definitely very thick, and ordinary artillery hitting it probably wouldn't cause any damage at all!

The other pirates were studying the ship, but the old pirate was always talking to the sailors on board, and the sailors on the ship didn't seem to care about being tricked by him, so they said a lot of things. Many of these statements confirm the pirates' guesses.

By the time the pirates had almost finished their research, the conversation between the two of them had gone back to the beginning. Just listen to the sailor

He said, "So you people are smart and lucky! Do you know? This ship is nothing more than a test ship, and there is a bigger one under construction! If that ship succeeds, this new ship should be mass-produced! In the future, wars will be fought on this new type of warship!"

The old pirate asked, "Is that new ship much bigger than this one?" How many cannons are there?"

The sailor said, "I don't know how much, but I do know that there were 32 broadside guns on that ship!" It will take three salvos to kill your ship!"

The pirates were shocked when they heard this! 32 guns, that means 16 guns on one side of the sideboard! One salvo, according to the lowest hit rate, will take at least four shells on your own ship! If you calculate it this way, after a few volleys, your own ship will be beaten to pieces!

The sailor on the ship said, "By the way, we have been ordered to conduct an exercise in a while, and the target is the broken ship!"

The pirates looked in the direction he was pointing to, and sure enough, there was a ship parked on the sea not far away. It's the type of ship they're using now. From the outside, this sea ship is really old! Even the windows above the shipbuilding have disappeared without a trace, no wonder they are used as target ships!

But even so, the pirates were still surprised! In their opinion, using a ship as a target is simply a waste of money! After all, at this time, sea ships are a rather expensive commodity, and even such dilapidated sea ships can be used if they are maintained.

So the old pirate cautiously said, "Target? Is it to use that ship as a target? That's a shame, isn't it?"

The sailor said, "What's the pity? The ship was already worn, and it was temporarily repaired when it came, or it might have sunk halfway through! Besides, most of Shandong's shipyards are now producing new warships for the navy, and old sea ships like this will be replaced as soon as possible! At that time, all such ships were floating on the sea. If you don't surrender, you'll be wiped out by us one by one!"

When the pirates heard this, their hearts were tired! Why should we be wiped out, we are so powerful! But at the same time, they are also secretly envious of Wu Ningbo's wealth and wealth, and he can make sea ships with a lot of money! It's like them, the ship has to be repaired and repaired, and repaired and repaired!
