216. Yiwu Gunnery Volley [3/3]

"bump!"

After the shells fired by Yi Yun hit the side of the iron-armored ship after a range of 500 meters, they hit the side of the iron-armored ship. Because the iron-armored ship is relatively large, Yi Yun aims at the center of the large ship. Even if the shells are a little deviated, they can still hit the enemy ship. His first shot must be the first shot, because the first shot will have a very impact on morale.

The shell hit the iron armor that was three millimeters thick, making a muffled "touch". The iron armor instantly sank into a large hole, and then the shell pierced the armor and hit the deck behind, smashing a hole the size of a football into the deck.

At the same time, the shells sent by James also crossed the sky and landed on the front deck of the iron-armored ship. There was no iron armor in that place, so the shells hit the deck directly. The huge impact force was not blocked by the iron plate, smashing the wood on the deck of the ship. The broken wood shot up knocked down a Japanese pirate "spike" to the ground, and it seemed that it was not alive.

"wahahaha!bingo!" James shouted happily.

Yi Yun glanced at him and smiled and said, "Are you an English or a French? How can you speak English all the time?"

James smiled and said, "I am a Frenchman who likes to speak English..."

Yi Yun: "..."

At this time, the two auxiliary artillery soldiers of Yiyun and the two began to get busy, helping their cannons to clear the chamber, change the gun gun, splash water to cool the cannon barrels, and prepare to fire the second cannon. James took this opportunity to clap his hands and smiled: "The Flang cannon produced in Dameng Country is really good, and its quality is not inferior to the cannons produced in Western Europe."

"Nonsense!" Yi Yun snorted: "This is not the 21st century. Everything is good for foreign countries. In this era, domestic products from the big cute country are the best."

James couldn't understand what he was talking nonsense in the century, foreign or domestic. He had to shrugge, thinking that he had not learned his cute words.

At this time, the Japanese pirates had already begun to fight back. The bow of the iron-armored ship had two turrets protected by iron-armored ships, which looked like two square boxes, with long gun barrels protruding from the box. Two fires shone at the same time, followed by the sound of shells flying in the air.

"Lying down!" Yi Yun shouted loudly.

Luo Lemao was the fastest one. Last time he fought with Yi Yun in Daixi, he would fall down as soon as he saw Yi Yun fire the cannon. Now the same is true. As soon as the other party fired, Luo Lemao immediately lay down to the ground. The fifty water bandits under his command also knocked down faster than the other. But the fifty Yiwu gun soldiers did not react... Yiwu warriors were facing the enemy. How could they be afraid? These fierce soldiers actually stood foolishly with muskets.

Yi Yunxin was not very good. If he was hit, he would suffer casualties immediately... God blessed me, I will never hit him...

"Click!"

A shell hit the deck at the back of the ship, splashing many pieces of wood. One of them scratched a Yiwu soldier. Fortunately, it only injured his arm. It was not fatal. The other shell was hit by the shells. Although the artillery fired much more accurately than ordinary people. However, at a distance, there was still a few meters of error. Yi Yun's ship was small, and if the opponent did not aim at the middle of the hull, it would not be so easy to hit.

Once these two shells passed, the artillery soldiers on the Japanese pirates' armored ship also began to reload. There was no need to worry about being bombarded again within a minute or two. Yi Yun took the opportunity to curse at a group of Yiwu soldiers: "It is good to be brave, but it is wrong to be brave regardless of the occasion. Remember that the other party must lie down when firing a cannon!"

"Prince, we Yiwu people have no cowards." A Yiwu soldier said angrily: "Don't lie down when facing the enemy."

"Farting, why are you afraid to tell the shells?" Yi Yun said angrily: "This is an order. You must lie down when the shells come next time."

"Okay!" Yiwu Bing was quite obedient. Although they thought Yi Yun's order was "unreasonable", they decided to obey.

"James, the loading is over, fire the cannon again." Yi Yun jumped up and aimed at the enemy ship opposite again. James also aimed with him: "Boom, boom!"

Two cannons were fired, and neither of them hit the target...

It turned out that the armored ship had already spread its sails and stretched out a lot of slurry. The bandits on Yiyun's side also began to row the boat with all their might. Both ships were maneuvering at very fast speeds. In this case, it was already difficult to accurately hit the shells, and it was different from the first round of artillery attacks.

During the last battle of Daixi, Yi Yun's cannon was relatively accurate because the quicksand in Daixi was flat and the ship was very slow. It was relatively easy to hit the cannon when it was still. This time, when both ships were maneuvering at high speed, it really tested the level of the artillery.

Both sides fought back and forth for four or five rounds of artillery, and the hit rate was pitifully low. Yi Yun basically only hit the first shot, but never hit it again. However, James hit three shots. It seems that his artillery skills have been specially practiced, not just a profession of "artillery", but also have rich artillery experience.

The shooting rate of the shells sent from Fuso was not good, only two hit the deck, and two big holes were made on the deck, but no greater losses were caused.

At this time, Yi Yun's ship was setting off cannons while sailing towards the reef group in the south. Li Huamei's ship was hidden there, and it was not possible for Li Huamei to come out to attack. However, this kind of painless attack now cannot completely attract the attention of the Japanese pirates. Yi Yun saw that the opponent's gunmen were all holding iron cannons (the method of Fusang people calling muskets) and looked at the sea next to him seriously. Li Huamei's ship rushed out and might not be able to get close to the enemy ship smoothly, and would be attacked by these musket soldiers.

"It doesn't make any practical sense to continue like this. We must get closer and force the opponent's musket soldiers to join the war!" Yi Yun shouted loudly: "Can you keep the T-shaped position and make the enemy ship close to within two hundred meters of the distance between us?"

"Of course I can do it!" Luo Lemao laughed and said, "Just relying on our small boat flexibility, I can do any weird movements." He made a few gestures to the water bandits next to him and shouted, "You need to get closer, children, be careful."

Yi Yun also shouted at the Yiwu soldiers: "Be careful, you need to close the distance, and the musket is loaded!"

The two ships began to get closer and closer under the control of Luo Lehai. Once they began to get closer, the hit rate of the cannon suddenly increased. Although both ships could only shoot two shells at a time, with the hit rate increased, the two shells were quite scary. Any flesh and blood body would be torn into pieces as long as the shells were stained by the shells. Everyone could only pray that the shells would not fall on themselves.

When they began to approach 300 meters, Yi Yun's shells could accurately hit the enemy ship, almost none of which fell. Each gun would drill a big hole in the enemy ship, bringing a bunch of wood chips. The two Japanese artillery soldiers also hit Yi Yun's ship several guns in succession, two water bandits were injured, and one Yiwu soldier was seriously injured. Fortunately, Yi Yun quickly changed his job to become a "famous doctor" and saved their lives.

When the two ships approached nearly two hundred meters, the cannons almost didn't need to aim. As long as they shot flat at the opposite ship, they could easily hit them. The soldiers on both sides began to shake a little under the threat of the cannon. All the soldiers in Fusang retreated behind the iron armor, but they also knew that three millimeters of iron armor could only resist bows and arrows, and could not even block muskets. Not to mention shells, it was unsafe to hide behind the iron armor, so they were a little worried.

The water bandits on Yi Yun's side were also a little cowardly, and everyone was lying on the deck and did not dare to take their heads. At this time, the power of the Yiwu warriors began to appear. Although they were lying on the deck according to Yi Yun's order, there was no fear on their faces. Instead, they were a kind of fanaticism, as if fighting desperately was a glorious thing. Faced with the closer enemy cannons, they all had the urge to jump up and resist.

When gunmen shoot at each other, this kind of momentum is needed!

For example, during the American Civil War, two armies lined up in line and walked forward in neat steps amid the sound of military music. After walking very close, they used muskets to kill the other party. Which side could not bear this psychological pressure first, which side would collapse first. This is a process that the hot weapon war will inevitably go through when the muskets are not advanced.

The most important thing about this kind of shooting in line is the courage of the soldiers. The most important thing about Yiwu's fierce soldiers is courage. At this point, Fusang gun soldiers can't catch up with the horses.

The two ships had just entered a range of 200 meters apart, and the Fusang gun soldiers were still protruding their heads and hesitating whether to poke their heads out under the suppression of artillery fire. The Yiwu gun soldiers suddenly roared and jumped up together.

"Concentrate firepower...shoot the opponent's turret!" Yi Yun ordered loudly.

"yes!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Sniper!"

The Yiwu soldiers roared at the same time, and fifty muskets aimed at Fusang's head cannon together. The red light shone in pieces, fifty muskets roared at the same time, and the "sniper" skill was cast at the same time.

For a moment, the sky was filled with the sound of a bullet slashing. Fusang's turret was a hidden turret covered with iron armor, but the three-mm thick iron armor was not enough to resist the bombardment of the musket. Under the bombardment of the ramparts, a jingling sound was heard on the iron armor in front of the turret, and many bullets hit the iron armor continuously, drilling out many holes the size of a little finger.

The "artillery" hiding in the artillery battery loaded with shells was instantly hit by many Yiwen bombs, and the two first guns of the ship were in silence at the same time.

This really made the Fusang people fool. They had fought with the officers and soldiers of Dameng Kingdom many times, but they had never seen so many "gun soldiers" in Dameng Kingdom. The soldiers of Dameng Kingdom occasionally used muskets, but they were all ordinary people with no professions to play with guns. Their hit strength and power were very bad and they were not taken seriously at all.
