Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 594 The world view that was shattered

Cao Cao had already started to doze off, but was startled by Liu Xie's sudden cry.

"Hmm?" Lao Cao looked up after he stabilized his mind, and then subconsciously asked, "Is there a fight?"

"The fight hasn't started yet, but the new warship has sailed towards the target ship." Liu Xie replied while looking around.

Cao Cao put the palm of his right hand in front of his eyebrows, and looked towards the center of the Yellow River with empty eyes.

I saw the three-masted battleship spread its sails, and under the action of the wind over the Yellow River, the speed of the warship quickly increased, and it drove towards the target ship ahead at high speed.

When the three-masted warship came four hundred steps away from the target ship, the speed of the ship began to drop.

Faintly, the people on the shore can still hear the people on the warship reporting the distance,

"Four hundred steps away from the enemy ship!"

"Enemy ship three hundred paces!"

"change!"

"The artillery is ready!"

Just when the three-masted battleship was 250 steps away from the target ship, it had already drawn an arc and aimed at the target ship with the side of the ship.

The warship began to travel clockwise around the treasure ship, and it happened to expose the gun emplacement on one side and aimed at the target ship.

As the baffles of the ship's side and hull were opened, long artillery barrels protruded out of the ship.The dark muzzle and hideous cannon body finally officially appeared on the world stage for the first time!

"What is this for??"

"Why face the enemy sideways?"

Moreover, the two ships are still more than 200 steps apart, and the bows and arrows can't shoot each other at all.

"Could it be that there are catapults or ballistas? But I didn't see these things on the boat just now!"

Not only Liu Xie, but many people have big colons on their heads.

Since the warship is close to the center of the Yellow River and far from the shore, it is more than a mile away.Therefore, apart from Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and other warriors with excellent eyesight, others like Liu Xie, Cao Cao, and Yang Biao could only faintly see the outline of a warship.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan joined Huang Zhong.Zhao Yun asked Huang Zhong: "Old Huang, last time you went with your husband to the iron foundry in Dai County to inspect the black iron cylinder on the new weapon ship. Could it be the new weapon that you mentioned?"

Huang Zhong crossed his arms and stared at the battleship.

After hearing Zhao Yun's question, he didn't look back, and replied directly: "That's right, those iron barrel-like things on the ship are called 'cannons', and they are very terrifying weapons."

The surrounding generals keenly caught Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's words, so they all moved closer.

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong saw many people gathered around, so they kept silent and stopped asking.

This really made Dian Wei and Xu Chu, two impatient brothers, scratch their heads and wandered around Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, looking like they wanted to arrest Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun and ask them about it.It's a pity that Dian Wei and Xu Chu seem to be unable to beat Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, so they can only worry by the side.

Xia Houyuan was dizzy by Xu Chu and Dian Wei, so he said: "The attack will start soon, what are you in a hurry for?"

Just as Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Tai Shici pointed at the Yellow River and shouted, "The flag bearer is raising the flag, and the attack is about to begin!"

Tai Shici's words made everyone focus their eyes on the center of the Yellow River.

They looked intently,
really!A flag bearer was already standing near the side of the ship, raising the command flag high!

The standard bearer was none other than Gan Ning, the commander of the navy himself.

He snatched the errands from his subordinates, and at the moment he was concentrating on waiting for Lu Yan's order.

"Two hundred paces from the enemy ship!!!" The voice of the soldier in charge of observing the distance was almost broken; the craftsmen in charge of operating the artillery had also adjusted the angle of the artillery.

Lu Yan also felt that the distance should be about the same, so he ordered: "Fire."

After receiving Lu Yan's order, Gan Ning waved down the command flag in his hand, and shouted like Lu Yan: "Fire!"

After the order was issued, the craftsmen in charge of manipulating the artillery shouted in unison: "Light it up!"

"呲呲呲!!!"

The fuze started to burn, and this scene reminded Gan Ning of the scene when the gunpowder bag exploded!

"Explosives?"

This idea just flashed through Gan Ning's mind, and then there were more than thirty violent roars at very short intervals,
"Boom boom boom!"

The cannons were fired, and the sound of the cannons shook the sky!
Even the melon-eating crowd watching on the shore were taken aback when they were caught off guard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

There were bursts of fire and smoke.

Thirty-two iron bullets were fired from the guns carried by the three-masted battleship, and some iron bullets that missed the target ship fell into the surrounding water, splashing a water column several feet high.

However, nearly one-third of the shells hit the target ship [-] paces away, and nearly ten hideous and terrifying holes appeared on the target ship in an instant. The tooth-piercing sound of cracking wood.

The target ship has been penetrated and started to take in water.

According to the situation, it will sink completely in a few minutes.

The deafening sound of the artillery, coupled with the devastating blow, froze everyone on the shore.

However, the performance of the three-masted battleship was not over yet.

After firing the cannon on one side, Lu Yan gave another order: "Full left rudder, turn around."

Gan Ning waved his command flag at the same time and roared, "Left full rudder, turn around!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers manipulating the warship began to turn the rudder desperately, and the three-masted warship began to turn around quickly and moved forward counterclockwise.

"fire!"

"ignition!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Another round of attack began, and the target ship, which was still struggling to stay afloat for a while, was baptized by another round of shells.

But this time, nearly half of the recalibrated artillery hit the target ship!
"Crack!!"

The target ship couldn't hold it anymore, it was broken by two rounds of shelling, and turned into two pieces! !

"boom!"

The target boat sank quickly and completely disappeared into the Yellow River. The broken planks and debris of the target boat were everywhere on the surface of the Yellow River.

The power of the artillery stunned Gan Ning, Su Fei and the sailors on board, but the cheers of the craftsmen quickly brought them back to reality.

"The power of this weapon is too terrifying!" Su Fei had just brought himself into a hostile role, and his voice was still slightly trembling at this moment.

"Damn it!" Gan Ning spat hard and said, "It's so handsome! I love these weapons to death!!"

Unlike the loud cheers on the battleship, there was a dead silence on the banks of the Yellow River.

Liu Xie opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, his fingers trembling slightly, "Once such a warship is released, who else in the world can compete with it?"

Although Cao Cao knew that Lu Yan had created a powerful weapon, no matter how he imagined it, this new weapon that could kill enemies "invisibly" was far beyond Cao Cao's imagination. Sir, there are always surprises.”

The generals are all silent at the moment.

Just when they were shocked by the terrifying combat power displayed by the three-masted battleship, Huang Zhong suddenly said faintly: "Mr. said that he will produce at least a hundred battleships like this."

"."

"???"

"!!!"
