Chapter 293 The Dengzhou Navy Suddenly Appears!
Chapter 293 The Dengzhou Navy suddenly appeared!
"Puff puff puff!"
A scarecrow was knocked down.
"Shit!"
Some clay man was broken.
"Bang bang bang!"
At the same time, bottles and jars were also broken.
The sound caused by the chain bullet seemed to be continuous, as if something was sweeping over the road. Some people couldn't help but think of the scene where the prisoners were dragging long iron chains and staggering through the prison aisle. The final sound seemed to be splashing water, sweeping by. After a while, the sound completely dissipated.
Finally, I checked the results and found that three scarecrows on a straight line were knocked down. Two clay men on the same straight line were broken. Three bottles and jars on the same straight line were broken down. One chain bullet knocked down eight targets, and the power was also good.
Especially the three scarecrows among them were completely cut off by the chain bomb. The upper part of the scarecrow had fallen. The lower part of the scarecrow was still stuck in place. It looked weird, very calm and cruel. In other words, if these three scarecrows were humans, their bodies had been divided into two halves.
Pick up these three scarecrows and check carefully, you will find that the place cut by the chain blast is as if it was cut by a sharp blade, which is extremely flat. In fact, the brothers who have plowed the fields know that straw still has a certain degree of toughness. After bundles of straw are tied up, it is even more tough. If you cut the scarecrow out with a sword, you will not be able to cut the scarecrow off with a fierce knife. At most, you will cut it over to the ground. However, the scarecrow in front of you is completely cut open, and you can imagine the speed of the chain blast. If you don’t have enough speed, how can you cut the scarecrow off.
Seeing this complete incision, Zhang Zhun couldn't help but change color.
This chain bullet is simply the Dam bullet of later generations.
Not to mention anything else, the psychological pressure caused to the enemy is quite powerful.
Those clay men gave Zhang Zhun the same feeling. Maybe one end of the chain bullet accidentally touched the abdomen of the clay man, and as a result, a large piece was hollowed out of it. If the clay man was broken, Zhang Zhun might not be surprised. After all, the clay man is a clay man, and he can smash it with just one punch. However, he just hollowed out a hole, but the clay man did not break. This shows a problem: the chain bullet is too fast, so the clay man has no time to break.
No wonder the chain bomb can break the mast, because its cutting ability is really too powerful. If it is described as a weapon from later generations, it is probably only the legendary laser sword. Within the range of the chain bomb, it is definitely a human block to kill people, and a Buddha block to kill Buddha.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
After the No. 1 Cangshan Ship drill, No. 2 and No. 3 Cangshan Ship drill continued.
Solid bullets, grape bullets, and chain bullets took turns to fight, constantly hitting the experimental area, smashing the scarecrows, clay figures, bottles and jars in the target area into a mess. Finally, the three ships lined up in a straight line and went into battle together, causing three violent volleys.
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
"Bangbangbangbang!"
Nine solid bullets, nine bags of grape bullets, and nine chain bullets fell one after another.
The target area is full of chaos, and there are basically no intact scarecrows, clay men and bottles. Calculated according to the area of the target area, the general offensive formation can arrange about 300 soldiers. In other words, if these cannons are released in defense unexpectedly, they can cause huge damage to 300 enemies.
Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun's cannons are currently only intended to be used in naval battles. As for when they can be used in land battles, there is no conclusion yet. In Zhang Zhun's view, the power of the tiger guns on land combat is already very strong. However, those old people who returned from Liaodong, or refugees who fled from Liaodong, all urgently hope that Zhang Zhun can use such cannons to deal with the Tartars as soon as possible. Not to mention solid bullets, the grape bullets and chain bullets are really powerful tools to deal with the Tartar cavalry!
If the scarecrows and clay figures in the target area just now were replaced by Tartars, I'm afraid the people around them would have been so excited that they would have run wildly. Have they ever seen such fierce shelling? In fact, there were not no cannons in the Ming army. Some of the Ming army equipped with quite a lot of cannons, but it is very rare that those who can use cannons so well! The most rare thing is that except Zhang Zhun, it seems that there is no Ming army troops, and they have the courage to attack the Tartars.
The people watching the people around him were naturally pleasing to the eye and excitedly. Their designers were silent. Their pride and joy were all covered under the quiet appearance. Today, Xue Zhidie and Sun Qinkai attended the occasion. The strength of the navy is inseparable from the efforts of the two. Whether it is the ship itself or the artillery, neither is missing. Only when the two complement each other can they achieve the greatest effect.
Among them, the happiest one is Sun Qinkai. His greatest wish is to design and manufacture more powerful artillery. Originally, he had such conditions. He could provide more powerful artillery for the Ming army. Unfortunately, his father's imprisonment changed everything. Sun Qinkai stayed in prison for more than two years and finally came out alive. It was already very difficult for him to have any extravagant hopes.
However, he never expected that he was valued by Zhang Zhun as soon as he came out, so he let him design the Dragon Cannon. This was simply unimaginable for him. Zhang Zhun's reuse was a real reuse, not just a simple way to provide generous treatment. Zhang Zhun respected his opinions, discussed technical issues with him equally, never condescendingly, and never imposed his opinions on him. This is the real reuse. With such a leader, you can work with you with energy!
Zhang Zhun sincerely said to Sun Qinkai: "Third Master, thank you!"
Sun Qinkai smiled honestly and replied dullly: "This is my business, no need to thank you."
Zhang Zhun nodded, knowing that he didn't like to talk much, so he turned to Xue Zhidie and said, "I want to thank you sincerely too!"
Xue Zhidie was in a good mood and had a rare gentle smile. However, the country was easy to change, but the nature was difficult to change. Every time she talked to Zhang Zhun, she couldn't help but be alert. At this time, she also habitually said a little cunningly: "Isn't your past thanks sincere?"
Zhang Zhun smiled and said without any concealment: "You can judge whether it is true or not."
Xue Zhidie raised the corners of her mouth like a little girl and said coquettishly: "I want a reward."
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said cheerfully: "What reward?"
Xue Zhidie's eyes were shining and he said word by word: "I want to sleep."
Zhang Zhun smiled and said cheerfully: "Okay!"
These days, Xue Zhidie is indeed exhausted. The construction progress of the three Cangshan boats was very tight, but later they had to install the flying dragon cannon, so the project became even tighter. She was the chief designer of the warship, so she naturally couldn't let go and had to be there for guidance in person. If you look carefully, you will find that she had two light dark circles, and her tender and white wrists were also a little yellowed by the sea breeze. Fortunately, she was born with beauty and was not greatly affected.
After the drill, a formal sea trial will be conducted.
Zhang Zhun, Xue Zhidie, and Sun Qinkai have all joined Yang Guohua's flagship one after another.
The three Cangshan boats also raised their sails and waited for departure.
The sailors such as Fang He, Liu Dong had been on high alert. Each Cangshan ship and Yang Guohua's flagship were equipped with armed combat teams. Long-distance bombing with cannons and intensive shooting with muskets were the most basic tactics of the navy.
"Set off."
Zhang Zhun said with a calm expression.
"Set off!"
Yang Guohua issued an order.
All warships slowly left the port under the wind power.
Coming out of Mawan, heading eastward. Because it was a sea test, the three Cangshan boats were all sailing close to the shore so that they could dock in time when there was danger. In fact, before Zhang Zhun arrived, the three Cangshan boats had conducted preliminary sea tests, and they were sure that there were no major problems, so they invited Zhang Zhun to arrive. Today's sea test is more of the nature of the inspection.
Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and stood on the bow deck of the flagship, carefully observing the sailing of the three Cangshan boats behind. Judging from the sailing situation just now, all the maneuvering movements were very neat, whether it was the operation of the sails or the installation of cannons, they were very satisfactory. Obviously, there was no need for improvement in the Cangshan boat for the time being, and it was able to put dumplings on a large scale.
"Dududu!"
Suddenly, the lookout whistle at the top of the flagship mast made a short sound of conch.
"enemy!"
Zhou Zhengyu reacted first.
The signal from the gazebo whistle actually encountered an enemy!
Zhang Zhun was also slightly stunned. Why do enemies often appear on the sea near Aoshanwei? Last time, Yang Tiansheng's subordinates forced to retreat. Could it be that they have made a comeback? Or are they scattered pirates? Alas, I said, why are these pirates still in dispersion?
Xue Zhidie was also slightly stunned and frowned and said, "Is it a pirate again?"
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know yet."
Xue Zhidie frowned slightly and whispered: "Do you want to retreat temporarily?"
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "What are you going to retreat? Don't we have three warships? What are we afraid of?"
Xue Zhidie wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "I'm still worried about how to test the combat performance of the three Cangshan ships. It's just right for the enemy. The artillery bombardment just now was a pre-set drill, and it was set up for people to watch the fun. I can't tell the true level of the navy. If it were pirates, we would fight them firmly and see how much our navy boy is."
Xue Zhidie heard his tone confidently, so she didn't say anything else. In fact, she was full of confidence in the ship she designed. As long as the strength of the two sides was not too disparity, there was absolutely no problem in fighting a war.
"It's the Dengzhou Navy!"
"The warship of the Dengzhou Navy!"
The lookout sent out a signal again.
Zhou Zhengyu came to Zhang Zhun and said in a deep voice: "Sir, it is the warship of the Dengzhou Navy."
Zhang Zhun nodded and said nothing.
Xue Zhidie asked in confusion: "What do Dengzhou navy appears here, what do you want to do? Shouldn't they be stationed on the sea near Dengzhou City? Are they our enemies?"
Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Maybe it, maybe it's not."
Yang Guohua also came over at this time and said to Zhang Zhun sternly: "Sir, the warships of the Dengzhou Navy rarely appear on the sea near the Aoshanwei. My subordinates think that their arrival should not be a good thing."
Zhang Zhun said decisively: "Order all ships to prepare for combat."
Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu immediately turned around and left.
"Dududu!"
Soon, the sound of conchs representing different commands continued to ring.
At the same time, sailors kept waving the order flags and passing the orders out.
The three Cangshan ships entered the combat readiness state one after another. All the flying dragon cannons were loaded with solid bullets and were in a state that could be fired at any time. The sailors on the flagship also entered the combat readiness state. The tiger guns in the hands of each soldier of the sailor's squad were also in a state that could be fired at any time. Zhang Zhun and Xue Zhidie also left the bow and returned to the side of the mast.
Zhang Zhun said to Xue Zhidie: "You go to the cabin below, too."
Xue Zhidie said with concern: "Be careful."
Zhang Zhun nodded.
Xue Zhidie turned around and left.
Zhang Zhun stood on the winch beside the mast, raised the thousand-mile mirror, carefully observed the sea and sky line to the east, quietly waiting for the appearance of the Dengzhou Navy warship. He thought quickly in his mind, what was the purpose of the Dengzhou Navy suddenly appearing here?
Speaking of which, the timing of this Dengzhou navy emerged is really mysterious!
The base of the Dengzhou Navy is in the far away Dengzhou Prefecture. If they want to go to the southern coast, they have to bypass the Shandong Peninsula. The voyage is quite long. If nothing happened, they would basically not go south. The last time it was an important thing to attack Tianheng Island, their figures appeared. Now, the Tartars have been eliminated, and there is basically nothing major in the southern coast. However, they still came here without hesitation, which means they must have a special purpose.
What is certain is that they would never come to pay their respects to them. Zhang Zhun felt that he did not have such a great face. The Dengzhou Navy belongs to the combat military system, and even the Shandong Dusi was not qualified to command them. Their arrival was of course the instructors of those who were interested, and the instructors of some senior officials who had the power to command them.
Chapter completed!
