Chapter 226 Unexpected Success

Chu Cai was also a little confused. She didn't understand what terrible things her men encountered at the gap of the wall, so she quickly asked Master Zhou beside her, "What on earth happened? For the sake of the sea wolf, they easily repelled our people?"

Master Zhou is also confused at this time. He is not a weapons expert, but just relying on smart people to eat. Just now, he also heard a series of explosions, but he couldn't figure out what was blowing, and then he saw the people on their side began to disperse.

So he had to shake his head and said, "If you go back to the big shopkeeper, I don't know!" Maybe the sea wolf has made something powerful again! Our people suffered a lot of casualties! That's why I was shocked!"

At this time, an old cronin of Chu Cai posted it and said tentatively, "The big shopkeeper, I have heard that a kind of bamboo cannon was used on the sea wolf ship, which was filled with gunpowder and stuffed with a lot of nails and iron pieces. It was lit and thrown into our ship, and many people on our ship have been injured. Brother! I don't know if it's this kind of bomb!

It is said that once this kind of bomb explodes, no one will be spared within a few meters. Once it is encountered, it will be killed or injured. It is very powerful! Even with a shield, you can't stop it!"

When Chu Cai heard this, he felt that what his subordinate said was reasonable. Basically, he could judge what the sea wolf used to defeat his men this time. This kind of cannon did not feel that it was not too powerful. At this time, firecrackers and firecrackers were already very common. In fact, this thing was also worse than a cannon fight. Not much, but he can't figure out why such a sea wolf cannon can hurt so many people?

Chu Cai couldn't figure it out and could only figure it out. He could only watch the fruit of victory that was about to come to his mouth, and suddenly turned into nothing. Seeing that his subordinates sent in front of him showed signs of complete collapse, he quickly sent his cronies to rush over and ordered the shopkeepers to close their men. He was not good at it. He retreated and continued to launch an offensive against the sea wolf village in order to take the village today.

On the other side, he ordered people to send orders to the men who operated the two Hongyi cannons, so that they would then bombard the sea wolf village and be sure to collapse a few more sections of the wall. He did not believe that the sea wolf could withstand the fierce bombardment of the Hongyi cannon.

But the people he sent immediately came back and told Chu Cailao breathlessly that the men who fucked the cannon did not dare to fight again now. They have fired a lot of shells in a row now. The gun body is so hot that they have to let the gun body cool down before they can continue to fight. Otherwise, they are afraid that the gunpowder will be poured into the gunbore. It was ignited!

Chu Cai was so old that she was going to die, but there was nothing he could do. These two red cannons were his treasures at the bottom of the box. He didn't dare to be careless and let these two guns have an accident, so he had to let them rest first and continue to fire after the barrel cooled down.

But he thought so, but the sea wolf was not idle. The gunner of the 12-pound long cannon had fired several cannons in a row, but failed to hit Chu Cailao's two red cannons. One of the nearest shells could almost be said to pass by a Chu Cailao's Hongyi cannon, but it still could not Effective hit.

In addition, a shell landed quite close to a Hongyi cannon. If it was replaced by an explosive grenade in later generations, this shell should have been effectively hit. Unfortunately, Yu Xiaotian has not made a hollow explosive bomb so far, and the solid bullet is not In the case of direct hit, it is still impossible to destroy the two Hongyi cannons that pose a great threat to them.

And old Chu Cai's men actually saw what the sea wolf's gunner wanted to do. At first, when a few shells fell around them, they were really nervous, but after thinking about it, they relaxed again!

In their opinion, their position is too far away from Dazhai. Although the sea wolf's cannon is quite accurate, it should be impossible to hit them.

Is the wall of the sea wolf village big? They also used the Hongyi cannon, but they lost it repeatedly. They couldn't even hit the wall of Dazhai. No matter how high the sea wolf's troops were, they didn't believe that the sea wolf's cannon could accurately hit their cannon. If they were a boat at this time, they were likely to hit it, but At present, they are just two cannons. They are placed at such a distance on land, almost the size of two broad beans. It should be very difficult to hit them.

When they saw that the multiple shells fired at them by Sea Wolf Village either flew far over their heads, or fell to their left and right, or hit close to them, and in short, they all deviated from them. At this moment, these Chu Cai's old gunners were completely relieved and felt that there was nothing. I'm so worried that they can't hit the location of the sea wolf's red cannon, and it must be impossible for the sea wolf's cannon to hit them, so they began to continue to play with their cannon boldly.

Seeing that a shell has missed the target, it makes people angry and anxious, but these sea wolves who operate the cannons are not discouraged. They are still repeatedly loading, constantly aiming carefully, and adjusting the muzzle pointing.

"It's almost done! Get out of the way! "Fire!" After lying on the gun rack and looking carefully for a while, the gun commander was sure that the aim should be almost done, so he retreated aside and ordered the firing.

The 12-pound long cannon shook violently again, and withdrew far away with a bang. The shell tore the air, drew a beautiful arc in the air, flew towards Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon, observed the hand lying on the edge of the fort, stared at the boss, and carefully observed their target.

I faintly saw that the shell hit more than ten meters in front of a cannon and stirred up a mass of dust in front of the target. The observer was about to sigh and report the news of the loss to the brothers behind him, but suddenly he saw the old red cannon jumping up and then dispersed. After the fight, the old men of Chu Cai surrounded by the Hongyi cannon suddenly spread out in all direction.

"Wow! Haha! Hahahaha! Hit it! Haha, I hit it! I really hit it this time! Hahaha..." When the observer saw this situation, he almost flipped on the spot, but even so, he danced and almost rolled.

Everyone quickly looked into the distance as soon as they heard it. Sure enough, they saw that Mr. Chu Cai's cannon had been scattered and tilted to the ground, and a group of Mr. Chu Cai's men were rushing around like headless flies.

This time Yu Xiaotian laughed, but Chu Cai's old nose was crooked again. He put the cannon so far away from the sea wolf village, but it was still scattered by the sea wolf with their cannon. How accurate is it to do this! He didn't believe how high the sea wolf's means were. He insisted that he must not have chosen Jiri this time when he came to Nanri Island, which made him suffering from bad luck. The sea wolf's gunner was bad luck. The blind cat hit a dead mouse and destroyed his cannon.

After asking, his men told Mr. Chu Cai that the cannon was basically completely useless. The shell hit by the sea wolf village first landed ten steps away from the Hongyi cannon, and then bounced up on the ground and hit the gun of the cannon. On the spot, the gun overturned and even smashed the gun rack. , and even injured three people surrounded by the cannon.

And they just checked the body of the gun. A crack was thrown on the gun body, leaving a deep mark. The whole barrel was a little deformed, and it turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Chu Cai's old meat is so painful that his face is jumping. He took a lot of money to get this cannon from the Folang machine man. There are only a few cannons, one less. He usually treats these cannons as a treasure, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took them out and didn't shoot a few shots, he was The sea wolf destroyed a door.

The angry Chu Cailao is a little dizzy now. He can't wait to copy the knife and kill him in person. Breaking into the sea wolf village will be cut off by Xiaotian, which can relieve his hatred.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian was secretly happy. Today, this 12-pound cannon did bring him a lot of surprise. Although he just now, he transferred this 12-pound cannon to help the battle and wanted this 12-pound cannon to kill Chu Cai's two Hongyi cannons, he was actually very clear about this hope. In fact, it is very slim.

The technical level of this era is put on hold here. Although his cannon is cast with an iron model and carefully through the inner recy, it is a quite good cannon in this era, but after all, this kind of cannon has great technical limitations. Anyway, it is a front-loaded smoothbore gun, and it has not been modernized lanking machine. The correction of the gun barrel, coupled with the impact of the casting accuracy of the shell and the composition of gunpowder, in fact, if you want to accurately hit another cannon at such a long distance with this cannon, it does not have this condition.

Although the effective range and maximum range of the 12-pound long gun are not low, the effective range also depends on what distance and what target it hits.

If the 12-pound long cannon hits the target at a distance of 200 meters, the accuracy of this gun can accurately hit the target the size of the Eight Immortals Table, and the dispersion will not exceed too much, but if you want to hit the target at a distance of 400 meters, then the dispersion of this gun will roughly become larger, and it can only be guaranteed to hit about one When a goal as big as a hut is to hit a target 800 meters away, although the range of this gun is no problem, its accuracy will be greatly reduced, and it is good to ensure that it can hit a warehouse-sized target.

If you shoot a target the size of a double mast ship on the sea from 800 meters away from land, this kind of cannon can basically ensure a more accurate hit a ship about one kilometer away, but the target they want to hit today is much smaller than the target set under normal circumstances.

Although Chu Cai's old Hongyi cannon is clumsy, it can't be bigger than a warehouse, and even the projection area on the front is about the same size of an Eight Immortal table.

It is really too difficult for those gunners to let this 12-pound cannon hit them, so although Yu Xiaotian transferred this 12-pound cannon, he actually did not have much hope for it. He just hoped that it could interfere with Chu Cai's two cannons.

But I didn't expect that the gunners of this cannon today really gave him a huge surprise. At such a long distance, they really overturned Chu Cai's red cannon, and it can be observed from the telescope that the gun rack of the gun has been dispersed. At least for a short time, Chu Cai can no longer count on this The cannon opened fire.
