Chapter 214 Random Artillery 1
A few black lines appeared on the old man's forehead. Looking at the sea wolves shouting in the business stack area, he was angry, but he still resisted the idea of sending people to attack the business stack area and silently continued to order his men to beat drums to urge his men to attack the sea wolf fortress.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian also turned to the direction of Chu Cai's main attack in the southeast of Dazhai, and boarded an arrow tower to look at the battlefield.
After carefully observing the formation arranged by Mr. Chu Cai, Yu Xiaotian said to Li Dazui who came with him: "Mr. Chu Cai doesn't seem to have a pig brain. Although his men seem to be messy, they don't have any rules!
At least Chu Cai always knows how to spread his men, instead of making his swarm of bees into a ball attack, and also knows how to tie some big shields with wood to block bullets for his subordinates. At least this can be seen that this guy is indeed experienced, not just by his courage!
But he is only at this level. If they attack Zhuangbao today, it's okay to do so. Unfortunately, he found the wrong opponent. It's up to you!
I'll give you the command here. I'm only responsible for watching the battle!"
Li's big mouth immediately bowed and hugged his fist and said, "Thank you, my subordinates will never let him come up. Today, I will let these bastards see our strength!"
While they were still talking, there was a gunfire on the other side of the warehouse area. The two turned their heads and looked, and Yu Xiaotian laughed again. He pointed to the outside and said, "Meng Fei's man is anxious. Chu Cai has completely given up attacking the commercial warehouse area and all of them are on our side! This man is unwilling to be lonely! Well, no matter who is, let him just toss around. Let's play better here!"
Li Dazui nodded and immediately ordered, "Give me the order. Without my order, no one can open fire and put them within 300 steps!" Each cannon is filled with solid bullets! Hit those big shields first!"
Li Dazui's order was quickly transmitted to all parts of the wall. Yu Xiaotian pretended to be relaxed with his hands behind his back and nodded secretly.
These soldiers on the wall of the sea wolf village have been ready for a long time. * They filled the flintula in an orderly manner and covered the lid of the medicine pool, but did not turn on the head. They knelt on one knee on the wall, hiding behind stacks one by one, looking at the appearance through the hole.
The gunners struggled to push the loaded cannon to the turret, began to adjust the gun rack, slowly pulled the gun rack, and took aim at the old men who were slowly pushing over.
At this time, there are not only these new six-pound guns and twelve-pound guns on the wall of the sea wolf village, because Yu Xiaotian specially set up a military barracks for land warfare. These heavy new artillery are not suitable for these soldiers to use in mobile operations, so he previously selected some small cannons from the old artillery. Barracks for their use.
However, after using it for a period of time, Yu Xiaotian felt that the quality of these old guns was poor and not very suitable for soldiers. Only a few of the newer tiger squat guns were more suitable, so that the cannons took some time, manpower and material resources to open a tiger squat gun model for the battalion and cast them. A batch of brand-new tiger squat guns were equipped to the barracks.
Even if they are hit by the most boring cannon shells at a distance of 100 meters, they can easily smash them. As for the cannonballs of six-pounds and 12-pound cannons, they don't want to use this thing to block them.
These gangs are hiding behind these shields, just talking about *, which can't play any effective preventive role in cannonballs at all.
But after all, they are pirates, and only this kind of thing can defend themselves. In addition, the only thing they can use to carry cannons is their bodies.
Although they shouted all the way after they set out, in fact, after approaching a little distance, they did not move fast. These shopkeepers also have their own small calculations and don't want to be the first bird. Everyone knows who runs fast, who is the first to be shot, and the deadlies the most, although they don't care about their men. But after all, these people follow him, and they also need to think about them more or less.
Therefore, the sea wolf waited for them to approach, but they arched forward little by little like snails. In just two miles, they walked for more than half an hour before they gradually approached the distance of about 300 steps outside the village.
Li Da looked at these guys, and the corners of his mouth tilted to one side, showing a disdain on his face. He was still a little funny in his heart. He secretly scold Chu Cailao for being smart but was mistaken for being smart. This was simply to provide him with the best artillery target.
The number of shields is limited. These old Chu Cai's men are hiding behind the shields and just squeeze them into a ball. If they disperse, the cannons are really difficult to deal with. You can't use cannons to call names one by one. If you do that, it's better to fight more accurately with bows and arrows or *!
When he saw Chu Cai's old shield slowly entering about 300 steps outside the sea wolf village, Li Dazui finally shouted angrily, "Fire!"
Old Chu Cai's men walked forward with fear all the way, but they had never seen the sea wolf village firing fire. At this time, they were secretly celebrating, but when they finally walked here, they suddenly saw several flames spewing out of the sea wolf village, and then a mass of smoke.
Then he heard the roar of cannonballs cutting through the air. In the blink of an eye, there was a mass of dust around their crowd.
The effect of the first round of shelling is not very good, which is due to the technical limitations of this era. The accuracy of the artillery is still relatively low. Even if the iron casting method is used to greatly reduce the tolerance between the guns, and at the same time, the fixed package is used, but when the barrel is bald, it is still influenced by many people. It is also affected by a certain purity of raw materials and human beings, and it is difficult to make a first hit at a certain distance.
Even if it is a modern artillery in later generations, a few school shots will be carried out before cluster shooting to check the accuracy of the shelling. What's more, it is actually very normal for the first round of artillery in this era to hit the target. What's more, today they hit a shield much smaller than the ship, so the first round Several shells were all lost.
However, Yu Xiaotian was not very disappointed by the effect of such shelling, because he saw that although these shells did not directly hit the target, they were basically not far from the target, and the landing point was controlled within a certain range.
