Chapter 357 Someone took the wrong medicine
Two sea monsters were quietly waiting for the arrival of the enemy. All the shells were naturally stuffed into the barrel. As long as the fuse was lit, the cannon could be fired. At the same time, the spare shells were also installed in the spare cannon chamber and could be replaced at any time. Each gunner prepared a fire note, and could be ignited with just a force.
A huge advantage of the mother and child cannons is that each cannon has five spare sub-bore chambers. After one shot, immediately pull out the sub-bore chamber, replace it with a new sub-bore chamber, and then continue firing. There is no need to reload the ammunition. In other words, the five cannons in front are very fast.
As for the fired gun bore, it is quickly cleaned up and then reloaded. This means that as long as there are enough personnel, the firing speed of the flying dragon cannon can be as fast as a breech gun. In one minute, it is perfectly possible to fire two guns. Of course, because ordinary warships have limited sailors, this need cannot be met. After firing the first five guns, the speed will be reduced.
However, the two monsters gathered all the strength of the Tiger Ben Army Navy, including the two hundred naval cadets, all of them were on the battlefield. In addition to professional gunners, three people were specially arranged for each cannon to load ammunition. Therefore, the firing speed of the flying dragon cannon can be greatly accelerated. At least, the five rounds of shooting in the front are very fast, and they are definitely faster than the pirates on the opposite side.
In addition to the gunners, the soldiers of the naval combat team led by Fang He and Liu Dong were also on the upper deck of the two monsters. Their purpose was to prevent enemy ships from forcibly approaching. If the pirates try to force the boarding, they will engage in hand-to-hand combat with the pirates and will definitely not allow the pirates to land. In this era, hand-to-hand combat is still the mainstream. Pirates especially like hand-to-hand combat.
At the same time, when the enemy ship was not approaching, Fang He, Liu Dong and others were responsible for helping the gunners load ammunition to speed up the shelling. In addition to the combatants, the craftsmen on the ship were also prepared to repair the damage at any time. As long as the two monsters were damaged, they would repair it quickly. On top of the two floating turrets, there were two medical teams, which could provide simple treatment for the wounded at any time.
Behind the two monsters, there are dozens of large and small sampans. On each sampan, there are five fully armed Tiger Army soldiers. Their purpose is to prevent enemy ships from snatching from the gap and trying to launch an attack from behind the floating turret. Although this possibility is not great, it is still necessary to prevent it for safety reasons. At the same time, these sampans are also for emergency needs. In case of two monsters sunk, they can quickly evacuate the personnel above.
At the entrance of Mawan, there is a small island, originally called Huangdao. Since there is a larger island on the side of Dasongwei, it is also called Huangdao. Therefore, in order to confuse, Huangdao in Mawan is generally called Xiaohuangdao. On top of Xiaohuangdao, there is a Tiger Ben Army stationed in the above Xiaohuangdao to prevent pirate ships from approaching Xiaohuangdao. If pirates attack Xiaohuangdao, these Tiger Ben Army soldiers on the sampan can also provide assistance to Xiaohuangdao at any time.
It can be said that Zhang Zhun is ready now, and only needs the east wind, so he is waiting for the enemy ship to enter the range. After careful calculations, he confirmed that if these pirate ships were to enter Mawan, it would be impossible for them to leave the range of the two floating turrets and Xiaohuangdao.
"What is that?"
"Is it Zhang Zhun's warship?"
"What kind of warship looks so weird?"
Sun Ronglu held up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and discovered two monsters at the entrance of Mawan.
Because these two monsters were very strange, he couldn't recognize what they were.
"have no idea."
"Maybe it's... a shipwreck?"
"Or a stranded ship?"
His acupuncture was also not identified, and he could only answer in confusion.
From their perspective, the appearance of these two monsters is indeed a bit special. If you want to say that they look like a boat, but not as a warship, the draft is too deep. The draft of a sea boat cannot be so deep. With such a deep draft, if a wave passes, it will sink. If you say that it is not a boat, it can float on the water surface, as well as masts and sails. From any angle, they have never seen it before. However, one thing is certain that these two monsters belong to Zhang Zhun. Because the masts of these two monsters are hung by Zhang Zhun's military flag.
In the end, most pirate leaders believed that this was what Zhang Zhuan set up here and tried to block outsiders from entering. Their appearance was vaguely a blessing ship. Perhaps, General Zhang's two blessing ships were sunk here, trying to block the channel and prevent the pirate's warships from entering. However, it was impossible to use such monsters to block the entry of powerful warships. In front of the cannon, all obstacles would be shattered. Even the sinking ships would still be shattered!
"Each ship attacks freely!"
"Whoever enters Mawan first will be the first to do it!"
"Take Mawan! We are going to celebrate the New Year in Fushan City!"
Sun Ronglu was sure to win and shouted in a hungry manner.
"Sir, be careful!"
"I wonder if Zhang Zhun has any tricks. Should he send someone to test it?"
A subordinate said carefully.
The subordinate who spoke was fighting with Sun Ronglu last time. He was still on the sampan and found that he was attacked. His first reaction was to jump into the water. He was lucky enough to save his life. Of course, he hated Zhang Zhun to the core. However, it was because he had a deep impression of last time that this subordinate seemed particularly careful. He always felt that Zhang Zhun had such a fierce deal last time, and this time he might have a powerful trick behind him. Once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the ropes for ten years. He was really afraid of being beaten last time!
"What advice do you have?"
Sun Ronglu, who was sure to win, said impatiently.
If it weren't for his confidant, Sun Ronglu would kick him away. I came back to take revenge, mother-in-law, how should I take revenge? You also know how to call me General, I am now a dignified general in Zhangzhou. Since I have been a general in charge, I naturally have to have the spirit of General in charge. Isn't it different from the previous pirates?
"Or why should I ask Lao Guo to go and have a look?"
The subordinates whispered.
"Go! That old Guo has no ghast!"
"If he was sent, he would not be able to find out what was going on until dawn tomorrow!"
"I have ten warships. What tricks can Zhang Zhun play? Pass my order and everyone attack immediately!"
Sun Ronglu waved impatiently.
Immediately, all the offensive flags were hung on the flagship.
The warships immediately adjusted their respective states and rushed towards the two monsters.
"Sir, it seems that the pirates are going to join us."
Chen Lingfei said with some concern.
"Um."
Zhang Zhun replied calmly.
These pirates are indeed the same style and are too contemptuous of their opponents. Zhang Zhun dared to conclude that the pirates must have launched an attack before they figured out what the two monsters were. By the way, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group has developed quite smoothly in recent years. Apart from Liu Xiang, there are basically no opponents. He obviously cannot catch the eye of others.
The Dutch only dared to cause some trouble for Zheng Zhilong through Liu Xiang, and on the surface they still wanted to do business with Zheng Zhilong. Even the powerful Red Barbarian Cannons were sold to Zheng Zhilong. Liu Xiang is now contained in the waters near Guangdong, and she can only resist and have no power to fight back. It can be said that on the coast of Fujian, the Zheng Zhilong Pirate Group has no rivals at all.
Perhaps Sun Ronglu felt that he had brought ten warships with strong power, so he didn't take Zhang Zhun's maritime power seriously. Well, the ten warships were indeed very powerful. Even if they were head-on, they would have no problem with fighting the Dengzhou Navy or the Tianjin Navy. He was just an unknown little man. The pirates dispatched ten warships and could clean up themselves no matter what they said!
“Huh?”
"Has Lao Guo taken the wrong medicine?"
Sun Ronglu suddenly screamed in surprise.
It turned out that he suddenly discovered that the fiercest warship was the old Guo who was scolded by him as a ghastly. This kid has always been known for being cautious. Carefulness is sometimes synonymous with timidity. Unexpectedly, this old Guo seemed to have taken aphrodisiac today and became a hero! The Haicang ship commanded by Lao Guo actually pulled down other warships for the first time and rushed forward bravely.
In fact, the captain named Lao Guo just wanted to get a bargain. In the past, every time he fought, he habitually hugged behind, so he was called "no ghastly". However, this time, the enemy seemed to have no ability to resist. The two monsters, maybe shipwrecks or the like, tried to block the waterway. Therefore, Lao Guo's enthusiasm came up immediately.
Who doesn’t want to fight without risks?
