Chapter 196 The first appearance of the grenade
On the blue sea, the wind gradually stopped, but there were still waves like fish scales on the sea. However, the black and white and gray smoke could be seen over the peaceful Hongwan, and the Clippers drew a quick white line on the slightly swaying sea. .
The musketeers in the first row half squatted, holding the muskets in their hands flat. The musketeers in the second row stood straight, and the musketeers in their hands were also aimed at the front, while the musketeers in the third row did not make preparations to shoot as usual, but took off the waists one by one under the order of commanders at all levels. The strange thing of the wooden handle. The lower end is a wooden handle, while the upper end is an iron object like a melon. However, its surface is not completely smooth, but it seems to have been specially cast with cross lines, which looks like a pineapple. From the cautious expressions of the musketeers, it can be seen that this thing seems to be more dangerous than the gunpowder bag at the waist.
"All musketeers aim, get ready, let go!" With Liang Pengfei's roar, the Zheng family's warship was close to a hundred steps away, and Liang Pengfei gave the order to fire.
One side of more than a dozen warships seems to be placed with countless smoke generators, drowning one side of the hull in an instant. The shells and bullets were mixed with the oncoming Zheng family's fleet. At this time, the 18-pound heavy artillery on the giant warship that rushed within range also began to spit out a tube of white smoke, throwing the hot bullets at the Zheng family's warships that had not yet started their speed.
The dense platoon of guns poured bullets on the Zheng family's warship non-stop. No one dared to stand on the bow of the first ship. The pirates of the Zheng family, who had just arrogantly waving their swords, were swept down a large row by the dense bullet rain, and hid awkwardly behind the side of the ship and various bunkers.
Zheng Lianshou covered his right arm, which was shot, and was squeezed behind the side of the ship by his own soldiers. At this time, the strange long-handled pineapples in their hands on Lao Liang's warship were thrown out by the musketeers and rolled in mid-air, as if they were mixed with a faint smoke.
--------------------
"What the hell is this?" A pirate of the Zheng family saw the long-handled little pineapple that fell on the deck in front of him, with wisps of smoke. He kicked it curiously, and his companions around him were also like a group of curious babies. They stared at this thing, but in the blink of an eye, the answer appeared.
A blinding fire flashed in their pupils, cracking pieces, small but powerful penetrating iron pieces and iron beads scattered around, crazily cutting everything that prevented them from collapsing.
Those Zheng pirates who were originally squatting on the deck were like unlucky people sitting on the gunpowder bucket. Their bodies were thrown directly back. Their faces and bodies were sprayed out by the power of the gunpowder explosion, but more were hit by those sharp iron pieces and iron beads with terrible penetration. It's a sad wound.
Looking at those Zheng's warships that rushed forward crazily, but were hit by the gunfire and smoke, and now the Zheng family's warships with hundreds of grenades blown up with flesh and wood chips, Liang Pengfei laughed happily.
Grenade, this defensive individual weapon is not only simple to make, but also its face-like lethality and easy surname, which is the weapon that Liang Pengfei first thought of to make. However, during the defense of the Crab King Island, time was too tight, and the great power of the conscienceless cannon forced Liang Pengfei to temporarily reassure his desire to make grenades.
In the following time, Liang Pengfei will naturally not forget this weapon that can make soldiers fear and lethal at a medium distance, and today is the opening performance time of the grenade.
In a short distance of dozens of steps, three rounds of grenades go down, each round of hundreds of pieces, the kind of attack is definitely not comparable to the lethality of a musket that can only go straight. The Zheng soldiers on the decks of the seven warships in the front were almost all returned to heaven on the intensive bombing of the three rounds of grenades. Under the effect of the air waves formed by the continuous explosions, countless amputated arms twisted desperately in mid-air, dancing a strange dance of death.
Many of the soldiers around Zheng Lianshou were also killed on the spot. Looking at the weapons that were exploded by this kind of weapons that fell on the deck along the parabola, Zheng Lianshou's ruthlessness and madness were all blown back to the soles of his feet, and his heart was completely cold.
He couldn't imagine that his opponent's new weapons were so endless, and his lethality was so dense that he was desperate. Looking at those brave hands falling into a pool of blood one after another, no matter how strong the nerves were, they were on the verge of collapse at this moment.
A distance of more than a hundred steps, for a fast-moving warship, it was not a short moment, the warships of both sides finally collided fiercely. Although the dense platoon guns, artillery and grenades caused huge damage to the rushing Zheng family warship and began to slow down, the crazy impact force still made the double Fang suddenly turned over, and even some unlucky people were directly knocked off the boat by this impact and fell into the sea.
However, at the moment when the momentum of the impact disappeared, the Zheng pirates, who were lucky enough to avoid the bombardment of grenades, poked out their heads and raised their swords. The dense rain of bullets came to them again.
At this close distance, the dense grenades fell on the deck of their warship like money-free garbage, forcing them to dodge in a hurry, and even jumped into the sea, hoping to escape the terrible explosion.
--------------------
The sound of guns still continued coldly. There were many bold warriors among the Zheng pirates, but their counterattack was so weak and powerless, and the final struggle seemed so futile, as if only death was their destination, and disability was just a process they had to go through.
The mass of gunpowder smoke and the explosive flame almost completely covered the sea. The horrible scene in front of them made the soldiers on the Zheng family's warship who followed the impact raise despair and panic from the bottom of their hearts. They can face death without fear, but this worthlessness is like taking their own lives to let their opponents treat them as entertainment deaths, making them extremely resistant.
"It's over." Liang Pengfei looked at everything in front of him, and finally took a long breath, licked the cracked mouth, and breathed the salty air full of the smell of gunpowder smoke. Liang Pengfei had infinite satisfaction in his heart.
"It's over..." One leg was blown into two pieces by a grenade, leaving only a little skin and flesh connected. The left eye has turned into a deep hole of flesh and blood. There was a huge gap in the chest and abdomen. Zheng Lianshou struggledly raised the sword in his hand and gently wiped it on his neck... "A thousand dead of the Qingguo Marine Division More than 800 people, and the rest were injured. Almost there, right? After all, I am a winner, and I can't leave more than a hundred people to go back. In that case, this victory will not show the demeanor of my master's famous general. Liang Pengfei sat next to his father, devoured the fragrant food, and said to Sun Shijie, who was writing next to him.
Hearing this, Sun Shijie rolled his eyes and waved a big pen in his hand. The 1,600 people who were still alive were on the death list in an instant. In this scene, the death toll of the two battalions of sailors led by Liang Pengfei was less than 200. However, in order to create a tragic war, Liang Pengfei could only let his men die in a large group according to the thinking mode of normal people.
"It's good that these brave soldiers who died in the war will all be pulled directly to Nanyang, and there is a short hand over there." The official Liang said happily. In addition, at that time, your son will be able to recruit soldiers again and train your own pirates under the banner of the court. I'm afraid that our old Liang family will be the only one since the opening of the sky and the earth. The official Liang looked proud.
Liang Pengfei also felt the same way. He chewed a chicken bone with a sinister smile and looked at the black line on Sun Shijie's face. These two men were really not ordinary bad.
"The credit of anniling five thousand of Nan Ruan Shuishi is for his son, but the credit for attacking Jinlan City can't be reported. It's a pity." However, there are joys and sorrows. Liang Pengfei complained about another thing.
The official Liang, who was talking about cigarettes, looked at his son in front of him with a loving face and said with a bright smile, "Nonsense! It's okay for 3,000 people to want to annihigate 5,000 people, but if you really want to report the credit of Jinlan City, how can you explain where so many warships and warships come from, and how can those Yi people dressed as Yi people and holding pirate flags appear here?
The Clippers that attacked Jinlan City were all armed speedboats captured by Western pirates, and they were the most commonly used skeleton flags by Western pirates. In addition, except for one-third of the soldiers who captured the dock, except for the soldiers of the Liang family, the rest were all dedicated to serving the old Liang family. Sincerely pirates.
Liang Pengfei nodded and burped contentedly. After taking a big sip of tea, he said, "Anyway, none of the pirates of the Zheng family ran away, but what if they ran away a few shrimps? What can they say? Who can believe it except Zheng Lianchang? It's not my great Qing national sailors who attacked Jinlan City, but a group of ferocious Western pirates. It's none of my business. Liang Pengfei's face was fierce, and he didn't have the elegance and demeanor of the court members at all. He was completely a hooligan who was completely extreme.
