Chapter 256 God of War Cannon, Shooting

Bian Yuanheng uses an extended fire bolt specially created by Zhang Yang for Li Bosheng. Because the bolt tube is lengthened, the initial speed of the bullet's muzzle is improved, thus improving the range. At the same distance, it is more powerful and the accuracy is stronger.

However, it is really hard work to use, because the tube is lengthened, causing the center of gravity to move forward, and when it is raised flat, it accurately hits the target, which requires the strength of both hands and arms.

The long-tube sniper rifle needs to be achieved with the gun legs. Zhang Yang has neglected this point. Since he came to this era and dealt with various problems all day long, Zhang Yang's professional knowledge has been loopholes.

For Bian Yuanheng, it is still relatively practical. If you are lucky, you can even hit the leaves 450 steps away when it is sunny.

Seeing the arrogant coach just now, Bian Yuanheng couldn't help picking up his special fire, which turned out to be the coach of the other party.

Among the thousands of troops, take the head of the enemy's general, causing the other party to have no head, thus causing chaos for the other party, and then use a strong team to attack the enemy's position, so that the enemy army will be defeated. This is Zhang Yang's intention to develop a long-range killing weapon.

And now, it finally works.

The first round of arrow rain came. Although Bian Yuanheng's fleet was lined up in a horizontal line, and the offensive surface was wide, but the thickness was relatively small, with only one row. Many of the arrows splashed into the water, but many arrows still hit the ship, causing some casualties.

"Shoot, then shoot." Bian Yuanheng shouted.

The soldiers holding Tianque are also constantly attacking. Tianque is fast and accurate, which also causes great damage to the enemy. However, the soldiers in the small boat can't aim at the soldiers in the middle of the big ship, while the archers in the middle of the big ship can throw bows and arrows into the sky.

The distance between the two sides is still approaching. Bian Yuanheng is ready to order the throwing of grenades. After throwing the grenades, the distance is closer, and I'm afraid he will fall into a hand-to-hand fight.

In that way, even if you win, you will win miserably. The advantage of Tianque is to destroy the enemy from a long distance, and hand-to-hand combat is not the strength of the fire. The navy is a precious force and cannot be consumed like this. Then, you can only use the God of War cannon to bombard the other party's big ship. As long as more than a dozen ships are sunk, the other party will retreat. However, Bian Yuanheng was a little reluctant to think of hitting those ships. Subconsciously, he had already regarded those big ships as his own. With those big ships, their five thousand-person teams will be replaced by big ships. Each ship can hold at least two hundred-person teams. Then install the steam engine and the God of War cannon, which is the invincible water power of the whole Jiangnan.

It's getting darker and darker. I'm afraid it's going to be dark in a little while.

When Bian Yuanheng was thinking about countermeasures, he didn't expect that the horn of retreat suddenly came from the other party's fleet.

Han Yong was afraid. He looked at Guo Yihai's body and the blood hole in the middle of his eyebrows. The boundless fear hit him. Not only him, many soldiers in the fleet are already a little afraid. Except for the soldiers who throw bows and arrows in the middle, no one wants to go on the deck. They are afraid of fire and rain from the sky.

They were all recruited from Huaibei. Whether they were officers at all levels or ordinary soldiers, they were not familiar with Zhang Shicheng's troops, thinking that they were the same as other rebels. Even Da Zhimu is the same. He only knows that Zhang Shicheng has defeated many people. If he defeats Zhang Shicheng, he will become famous from then on. As for how powerful Zhang Shicheng's army is, he only vaguely knows that the firearm is powerful, and how powerful it is, he does not know.

Han Yong just jumped on the deck and hurried back to the command platform again. There was protection around it, which was safer. The master was dead. He should have taken over the command. He looked at the sun that was about to set. The first order and the last order: "Retreat, collect Soldier!"

The drums sounded, and the soldiers on each ship were also relieved. They were scared by the dead soldiers around them. They were hit by scattered bullets, and their bodies were covered with blood holes. They were hit by fire, and they were almost killed immediately. For them, the terrible "boom, bang, bang" sounds were simply It's like coming out of hell.

It's just that this is definitely a wrong order.

Retreating on the water is definitely not as simple as on land. If you turn the horse's legs, you can retreat. It takes a big boat to turn a 180-degree corner. It requires the close cooperation of the sailor and the helmsman to adjust the angle of the sail and adjust the angle of the rudder. In addition, the wind is strong at this time, which is very difficult for the boatman.

Now, the striker has entered the range of the bow and arrow. First, use the bow and arrow to give the other side a greater lethality, and then after approaching, jumping to fight is the right choice. In the melee, the fire must take into account the accidental injury of the friendly army and dare not fire. No matter how the fire knife is used, there is no big knife and spear. Moreover, the combination of fire is definitely the advantage of a large number of people, not to mention that there are many big ships here.

Rushing up, both sides were injured, retreated, but the whole army was destroyed.

The fleet of dense charging has not been trained to make a sharp turn before the war. When this order came down, the sailors suddenly panicked.

Some boats turned left, some boats turned right, and bumped into each other rudely. Some even if they turned 90 degrees, the angle of the sail was not adjusted well. In addition, the usual surname when turning was blown over by the strong wind. Only the ships farther away on both sides and the ships in the back two rows are more fortunate to carry out the order.

Suddenly, all the warships, in front of Bian Yuanheng, worked together to carry out a chaotic competition. Of course, Bian Yuanheng will not miss this opportunity. All the firemans are constantly pouring ammunition to kill the enemy's living forces.

After turning the corner, the sailors faced a bigger problem. Now it is against the wind. It's not as simple as the downwind. How to get out of the headwind quickly? This is terrible!

In contrast, those boats driven by paddles have an advantage.

As the saying goes, the boat is small and easy to turn around, and it only needs to be inserted through the cracks of the big ship. The oarsmen rowed desperately, against the rain, in an attempt to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

Han Yong was stunned. He was sent by Dazhi. Before he came here, although he was already a thousand commander, he was just a thousand commander in the cavalry. He came up from the back door by giving gifts. He knew nothing about the water war at all, but he also saw that in this case, it was very unfavorable to him.

The only favorable condition is that it is about to get dark. As long as it gets dark, their own sailors will have hope to escape. Whether to return to Huai'an or fight again tomorrow, waiting to escape and discuss with other commanders.

"Order the other two steam engine ships to go out immediately and quickly penetrate the entrance of Golden Lake and White Horse Lake in the north to block the waterway where they go back." Bian Yuanheng said.

Do you want to run? No way! The one-shaped fleet has begun to gradually force from both sides, forming more than half a encirclement. As long as it quickly penetrates the back of the other party and blocks their escape road, it can form a perfect encirclement.

"Wow!" The whistle sounded, and the water wheel of the steam engine ship began to turn. At this moment, it finally turned into a counterattack.

The steam engine ship emitted huge black smoke, which shocked the fleeing enemy.

"God, what is that? Such a big ship, without sails, can run so fast!"

"It's over. It's coming to us. Get out of the way! Stupid, pay attention to the boat next to you. It's going to crash!"

"Quick, speed up!"

"No, the wind direction is not suitable now. You can't go directly to the north. You have to go east first."

It seemed to be two ancient monsters. The steam engine ship rumbled, scaring half of the sheep in the encirclement.

The steam engine ship was like a red-hot fork, which was suddenly inserted into the cheese. Wherever it passed, the enemy's ships collapsed on both sides, making them even more scattered.

Of course, the two ships are not just roaring by. The firemen on the ship can boldly poke out their heads, aim calmly and shoot. Although the range is very close, and the bows and arrows can also have a high hit rate, no enemy dares to fight back with bows and arrows. They are all thinking about how to escape quickly.

The cannons on the deck are also constantly firing. Such a dense enemy does not need to aim much. Where the bomb falls, it is a rain of blood.

Two steam engine ships are invincible in the enemy fleet of dozens of large ships. Seven or eight thousand enemies were beaten and howled by two steam engines with only a few hundred people.

"It's really enjoyable. If it hadn't been ordered for our direct penetration, I would have wanted to rush the ship left and right here and turn it around for 300 rounds." Lu Zetan, the captain of a steam engine ship, said that compared with patrolling around Gaoyou Lake, this is really a water war.

Suddenly, a medium-sized boat with twenty oars rushed out of the other party's chaotic ship. More than a dozen people standing on the bow were holding bows and arrows in their hands. The head of the arrows on the bows and arrows was on fire.

It seems that you must not underestimate the enemy when fighting. Unexpectedly, among the enemies, there are also such tough and fearless people. When others retreat, they can also counterattack the ships that rush into their fleet. Moreover, with such a sinister intention, they use arrows with fire to burn their own ships. They have the courage. Lu Zetan feels a little heroic and sympathize with each other.

It's just that this kind of counterattack is still an idiot in front of Tianque.

Seeing a ship rushing towards the starboard side, the fireman on the ship did not hesitate to point all the fireman at the other party.

"Ban, bang, bang." Countless Tianque were launched together. Before the burning rocket could be fired, the shooter had been shot in advance.

Now, the tragedy happened. After the rockets fell, they directly burned their own boat.

The arrow has already been smeared with turpentine, a substance that is good at burning. At this point, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it is uncontrollable.

"Abandoned ship!" The centurman on the boat said. He had no choice but to take the lead in jumping into the water.

The oarsmen also jumped into the water from the cabin. Suddenly, there were heads on the surface of the water.

The firelight is getting bigger and bigger, illuminating the neighborhood, and those who float on the water have become excellent targets.

The shooters wanted to continue shooting, but the steam engine ship was so fast that it had been blocked by other ships. They looked at the burning ship that had landed in the rear with a trace of respect in their eyes.

Compared with other people who only care about running for their lives, such enemies deserve their own respect.

In the environment against the wind, no matter how big the sail is, it is useless. I'm afraid there is only a steam engine ship that is not affected by the headwind. The thick smoke floats behind the ship, leaving a trace of gradually spreading in the darkened sky.

The steam engine ship arrived in time and blocked the waterway to the north.

There are three waterways on the north side of Bishe Lake. The north leads directly to Baima Lake, and the northwest passes through Jinhu Lake and Hongze Lake. These are two main rivers. In addition, there is also a northeast waterway leading to Baoying Lake. The difference between Baoying Lake and other lakes is that Baoying Lake is a closed lake, that is to say, Baoying Lake is like a pocket. Once you get in, it is not easy to get out.

As soon as he received Bian Yuanheng's order, the captain of the two steam engine ships understood Bian Yuanheng's intention. He only sent two steam engine ships. The two steam engine ships blocked two waterways. Naturally, he wanted the other party to get into the pocket of Baoying Lake when he panicked.

Shut the door and beat the dog, don't let go!

After the steam engine ship penetrated the enemy's fleet, it sailed forward to the not wide entrance of the river, and then turned around and blocked the entrance of the river.

In fact, even five ships can't be blocked side by side. However, there are hundreds of firemen on the steam engine ship and dozens of cannons. If they dare to slip away from the side of the steam engine ship, it will take a high price. It is likely that they have been killed before they escape.

The surrounding situation has been formed, and the one-shaped fleet in the south has been gathered into more than half a circle. Coupled with the firepower of the two steamer ships in the north, although the sky is almost dark, the enemy has also become a turtle in the urn.

Several ten oars boats quickly hit north from the fleet. They want to escape from the encirclement with the speed of rapid impact. As for those big boats, it is not so easy.

"Boom! Boom, boom!" On the deck of the steam engine ship, the scattered fireworks began to release bullets, and a small boat was covered. Suddenly, all the people turned into limbs and corpses, and there was no one alive.

Then, the cannon aimed at another ship.

Tianque kept shooting, and finally, at a distance of a hundred steps away from the ship, they were all wiped out.

Killing chickens to show the monkeys. In an instant, several ships were slaughtered, and the enemy was already scared.

Go, rush out! At this time, the two large ships were pioneers again. The boatman of the two ships is the most skilled. He repeatedly adjusts the angle of the sailboat. The big boat shakes left and right, as if turning around, but moving north.

Lu Zetan gritted his teeth. It seemed that he had to be serious.

"God of War Cannon, get ready!" Lu Zetan ordered.

The scattering cannon can only shoot scattered bombs, relying on the face-shaped rain to kill the enemy, and it is a little unrealistic to kill all the enemies of these two ships, because many enemies hide under the deck. Bian Yuanheng has not allowed the use of the God of War cannon. He wants to keep these big ships for his own use, but now, it is no longer necessary. If you can't stop these two big ships in time and set an examples, then countless big ships will rush over. At that time, no matter how powerful a steam engine ship is, it will not be able to cope with it.

Unlike the scattered cannon, the God of War cannon is a solid pointed shell. Because the rifling is engraved in the barrel, the shell rotates out. The stable surname is very high, and the trajectory is also very stable. Moreover, this kind of gun also has a device that can be raised and lowered. By shaking the handle on the side, the height of the muzzle is realized, so as to control the range far and near. The range has been marked on the lifting device in advance, which is simple and easy to do.

Originally, the most appropriate thing was to put the artillery on the two strings, but if you shoot at the same time, it is easy to overturn the hull. After all, it is not a professional shooting warship, but a cargo ship. Moreover, the number of artillery is relatively small, and the bow is flat, so several God of War guns are all placed in the bow.

The range of the God of War cannon is ten miles. Now, in order to improve the hit rate and deter the other party, Lu Zetan asked the gunner to adjust the range to four miles, four miles, one foot, and four miles and two feet. Although the God of War gun has the means of adjustment, the way to measure the distance mainly depends on visual inspection, and there will be a certain error. Lu Ze Tan's adjustment in this way can make the firepower coverage of the God of War cannon a little larger and strive for a hit.

The shell of the Ares cannon is a pointed iron bullet, covered with a layer of lead to reduce the wear of the rifling while rotating and flying out of the barrel. Due to the length of the barrel, the muzzle velocity is very high. As long as there is one hit, it can completely sink the opponent's ship.

At this time, the battlefield suddenly quieted down, and the eyes of both sides were staring at the two big ships. If the two big ships could rush over, there was no doubt that all the big ships would rush over without hesitation and slip away on both sides of the steam engine ship.

If that's the case, Bian Yuanheng has no other way but to order him to chase.

"Boom, boom, boom." Suddenly, there was a earth-shaky roar in the barrel in front of the steam engine ship, and the huge steam engine ship was also trembling, like a monster, spitting out several shells with the breath of death.

God of War cannon, shoot!

The shell flashed a beautiful arc in the sky and ran to the big ship in front of it.

"All through!" A cannonball fell into the water in front of the ship, and the people on the ship secretly rejoiced: It's so close!

"All through!" Another cannonball fell to the rear of the big ship. Their hearts were about to go to their throats. What kind of cannon was the other party's? Why is it as accurate as that fire gun?

Now there are still nearly four miles away. For artillery, four miles away, the iron ball has long been unknown where it has fallen, and now, it can still fire the shell so close, indicating that the other party's artillery is very powerful.

Suddenly, the familiar voice came to their ears. They looked up and opened their eyes widened in fear.

The third shell has fallen from the sky and hit it accurately.

In an instant, the shell smashed a large hole in the deck of the bow and drilled into the second deck, and the third layer penetrated the bottom of the cabin effortlessly.

"The boat is leaking and it's going to sink!" Countless horrible voices sounded.

This is a three-mast ship. Unexpectedly, it was hit by only one shell, and it fell into the end of the shipwreck!

The last afterglow of the sun fell on the three-mast ship, and the bow had begun to sink. Many people jumped off the ship and swam back.

The other ship immediately turned the bow, full of sails, and hurried back.

In the middle of the course, it was found that there was a waterway in the northeast corner, and there were no boats waiting on this waterway, and it plunged into it without hesitation.
