Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 847 Exploding the New Era
Jiao Shixun is an extremely cautious person.

In Haizhong Continent, where there are many pirates, if you don't have a somewhat cautious character, how can you get to the prestige you are today?The real power of being a pirate is very important, but blindly bragging about being strong and ruthless is definitely just a low-level thief, and it is impossible to be domineering and respond to everyone.

When he saw these four strange-looking sailboats approaching fast in the distance, Jiao Shixun had a bad feeling in his heart...

Just imagine, as an old pirate who has traveled across the East China Sea for many years, it is unreasonable that he has never even seen the shape of the opponent's ship?How could Jiao Shixun not be frightened?
What's more important is that the enemy ship coming in front is getting closer and closer, and the overall outline is already very clear, but it is found that the enemy ship has no bed crossbows or rackets, and the only characteristic is that it drives fast.Could it be that this new type of warship of the navy relies on speed to hit the enemy with the angle of attack of the bow?
This does not meet the requirements of naval warfare at all...

Just when Jiao Shixun was suspicious, there was a rumbling explosion that shook the eardrums, and the enemy ship that had slowed down and completed a half turn towards the sea suddenly burst into flames, followed by a puff of black smoke rising into the air.

Jiao Shixun opened his eyes wide, bewildered.

However, before he could laugh at the Navy's new-style warships that caught fire before engaging in battle, he suddenly noticed a black shadow appearing in front of him.

An unknown thing rushed towards him like lightning, Jiao Shixun who was standing at the bow was startled, and subconsciously shrank.

A loud bang sounded behind him.

Jiao Shixun looked at the bull head in surprise, his eyes almost popped out!
I saw a group of elite pirates standing behind me lying down in disorder at this moment. Four or five well-built pirates seemed to be hit by something, their bones were broken, tendons were broken, and their flesh was mutilated. Only then did the screams and screams resound.

Not far away, a large black hole appeared in the rudder tower, and the solid planks were broken and cracked.

what happened?

Jiao Shixun opened his eyes in confusion, not knowing what happened.

It was fine just now, why did it suddenly fall to the ground, with blood flying everywhere?
He looked up at the sky, it was cloudless and cloudless, and the weather was rare, but what happened to the explosion just now?Is it because I have done all the bad things and lost my conscience, God is going to take me away in a drought and thunder?

*****
"Hit!"

"Hit!"

There was joy and cheers on the new warship.

To be honest, the continuous practice for many days made the gunners on the warship understand that although this kind of firearm is powerful, the sight is really off the mark.The enemy ship is too far away, so it is not easy to aim. In addition, when the artillery is fired, it will generate a very strong recoil, which makes the displacement of the gun body unstoppable, and the aim is even more biased.

Hitting the target with the first shot in the war is simply the probability of a 70-year-old man getting a shot...

"Clean the barrel!"

"Charging!"

"Reload!"

"Prepare--"

"put!"

Although everyone was very excited, the artillery commander's order was issued immediately, and the gunners had to suppress their excitement and quickly complete their work according to the usual drill process.

First, use a brush with bristles to clean up the remaining gunpowder residues in the gun bore, then put the paper bag of quantitative gunpowder into the gun bore, and finally fill in the round untrustworthy iron bullets, and poke them with a long iron drill. to the bottom of the barrel.

The warship is moving, and the shooting angle must be adjusted accordingly.

After a while, the four cannons on the four warships roared again, and the four iron bullets were pushed out by the gunpowder. The smaller barrel length and larger caliber made the muzzle velocity of the shells extremely low. Even so, the firing rate of the shells was extremely low. The barrel speed almost reached the limit of the human eye.

Four white waves splashed continuously on the distant sea, and the four shells missed without exception.

The gunners were not discouraged, and quickly operated according to the regulated process to load the shells.The four warships that were the first to break away from the main force completed a U-turn on the sea surface. The sails were only half raised, and the speed was already in sync with the enemy ships that were chasing with all their strength. While retreating in the direction of the main fleet, they did not Stop firing.

All of a sudden, gunfire rumbled on the sea, black smoke rose into the sky, and water splashed.

The pirate ship seemed to have seen the power of the artillery, and kept accelerating to catch up with the new warship to get closer to a boarding battle.But the navy's new warship is too fast, so it hangs slowly in front of it, almost keeping the same distance, and the artillery keeps firing...

The current artillery has no aiming device, and the stability is poor, so the accuracy rate is naturally painful.However, the constant bombardment was finally a quantitative change that caused a qualitative change. One of the shells was lucky to hit the waterline of the enemy's flagship.

In front of the iron bullets carrying huge kinetic energy, the ship plank of the enemy's flagship was easily torn apart like torn paper. The boat has begun to list.

The pirates on the deck ran wildly, and at first tried to go down to the bilge to make amends, but then gave up this idea.Some people began to jump into the sea and swim towards the friendly warships, causing the entire fleet to become chaotic in an instant.

Jiao Shixun's soul was almost scared away, what kind of weapon is this damn sailor?
With such a long distance, one's own troops can be lost, and even one's own ship can be hit!Feeling the slow tilt of the boat under his feet, the bow gradually sinking, the sound of cannons and the shouts of his subordinates persuading him to abandon the boat rang in his ears, Jiao Shixun only felt a cold heart as the boat kept going down. Shen.

It's just four strange new-style warships. Equipped with this powerful long-range weapon, the warship under him can sink without resistance. If there are ten or one hundred new-style warships like this Warships, the vast East China Sea, will no longer have a place for pirates to stand...

But this is obviously not the time to think about the future. If you can't defeat the navy fleet in front of you, once you are chased by it, the family business you have worked so hard will be destroyed!
There is no other way, just bite the bullet and charge upwards, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road!

Jiao Shixun gritted his teeth and yelled, "Calm me! We have so many boats, how many ships can he sink? Listen to my order, and rush forward. As long as you get on board, let these little guys You son knows how powerful I am, 'Qingskin Jiao'!"

He had a high prestige among the pirates, and his shout quickly stabilized the morale of the army.

Yes, although the navy's weapon is very powerful, it can sink a warship from such a long distance, but as long as it is close to the boarding battle, how can these little brats with mud legs be like them? Battle pirate rivals?
Not to mention, rush, rush, as long as you rush to the front, victory is in sight!
Jiao Shixun gave up the slowly sinking ship and boarded a nearby warship, raised the flag and gave the order to charge. Amidst the sound of the horn, countless pirate ships rushed forward like chicken blood. !

When the artillery sank an enemy ship again, the main force of the navy and the pirates rushing madly finally met each other!Naval battles in this era, in order to exert the power of the angle of attack, have always been bow-to-bow impact, followed by broadside slapping, crossbow shooting, and finally hand-to-hand combat.

The two fleets were like two groups of angry bulls, colliding fiercely on the vast sea!
"Bang, bang, bang"

The impact of the attack angle was endless, and there were bursts of teeth-stinging "creaks" one after another. The hull of the warship that was not strong enough was hit, the hull was broken, the keel was twisted, and the soldiers standing on the side of the ship were constantly shaken and fell into the water, screaming one slice.

Then, arrows like migratory locusts flew over the sea, and soldiers on both sides kept screaming that they were hit by the arrows, and the battle was fierce.

In just a moment, the warships of both sides staggered, and the most tragic boarding battle came!

The pirates held their weapons tightly and were not afraid of the arrows coming from them. Even if someone was hit by an arrow, they just fell to the ground with a groan, and the rest stared fiercely at the navy warship in front of them with red eyes Just wait for the distance to get closer, then jump onto the opponent's deck and start killing!
And the soldiers on the naval warships are also neatly lined up, waiting for the upcoming bloody battle!
The hulls are staggered, and the side of the ship is getting closer and closer to the side of the ship!
