Chapter 306 Miracle

Seeing the Qing army's warships coming out one after another, Zhang Sigui was shocked. He held the telescope in his hand, but he had not reacted for a long time.

When he just realized it, Ye Ningbing had already pulled out the dagger that Madam Ye specially gave her on his waist, and slid over a snow light. She said loudly: "Brothers, fame and wealth are all today!"

Amid the roar of the steam engine, Ye Ningbing's voice was so crisp and loud. The whole Bao Shunlun shouted in waves after wave of her voice: "Long live! Long live! Long live, fame and wealth are today!"

Ye Ningbing held a dagger in one hand and a revolver in the other, and continued to shout at Haikong in the distance: "If we lose this battle, we will have nothing. Are you willing?"

"I don't want to!" The officers and soldiers on the ship responded to Ye Ningbing: "I'm not willing!"

Even the Western sailors and technicians on the boat responded to Ye Ningbing's words: "no!no!no!"

Ye Ningbing raised his revolver and shot him: "Then let our dreams fly, your wealth, honor and victory are created in your hands, follow me! Accelerate!"

After she shouted this passage, she almost lost her strength and held her hands on the railing, while the entire Baoshunlun cheered one after another: "Accelerate, accelerate, follow Niangniang Ye!"

And the Western crew members said loudly: "Ok! OK! OK!"

As for Zhang Sigui, what he said, the crew didn't hear it at all. They only knew to move towards the Ziwei Star quickly. The two large ships would decide the victory of the naval battle, and the 60-pound rifled gun with the bow of the ship with the rotating gun mount had already begun bombardment!

boom……

The shells flew across the sea with almost straight ballistics, and finally fell into the seabed about four hundred meters away from a lucky ship. The huge waves splashed out were five or six meters high. At this moment, the Ziwei Asterisk had already begun to bombard the twelve-pound Karen cannon.

Neither of the shelling of both sides was effective. At this distance, being able to hit the opponent's warship was almost like shooting the moon with a rifle.

Although the team of more than fifty warships seemed to have great visual impact, and the sight was full of the Qing army's red single ships and lucky ships, I only now realize that even if I went downstream, the speed of these Qing army's warships was surprisingly slow.

"put!"

"put!"

"Let go! Let go!"

Now the entire fleet has joined the ensemble, and even the land turret is bold enough to use near-standard charges to shoot, but soon a battalion cannon exploded.

The low quality of the Qing army's self-made artillery was always a serious problem that the Qing army had to face during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. You should know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom obtained some artillery left by Wu Sangui in Yuezhou, and could actually gain a comprehensive firepower advantage on the battlefield. It is conceivable how far the Qing army's artillery manufacturing technology was lagging behind.

But in the countless huge waves, the warships on both sides were unscathed. Seeing the battle, it was like a play. Ye Ningbing was already holding a pocket watch on the side of the bow of the main gun mount and shouted loudly: "Two minutes and forty-four, you are the best, let's go again!"

The number she reported was the time for the gun to be reloaded and fired once, and the gunners were also working very hard. One gunner shouted: "Let the Qing Yao taste our power!"

He is also a member of Niang Ye's family. Now Ye Ningbing is supervising the battle here, so he has to sell some strength. The wool brush was stabbed into the cannon barrel, cleaning the cannon barrel with a large amount of residue. Then the solid cannon shells and cannon medicine were loaded in, and another round of bombardment!

The rifle created the first result of this naval battle with a beautiful arc. Sixty-pound shells roared and tore a small lucky ship apart. The deck of the lucky ship was directly penetrated, and uncontrolled sea water gushed out at once.

"Okay!" Ye Ningbing was very energetic, and she picked up a jar of white wine casually: "Get a good wine to celebrate with you, take a sip!"

"Okay!" A gunner took the jar directly, poured a big mouthful into his mouth, and handed it to his comrades beside him. While raising his wool brush to clean the cannon chamber, he shouted: "It's so sprinkled!"

"Good wine!"

"Good wine!"

"Let's have another one!" Some sailors asked simply: "A Ning, is there any wine to hit another one?"

"Some are celebration wine!" Ye Ningbing replied to them: "Let's create a new record!"

The first result of the acquisition of Baoshunlu became the focus of the Qing army's firepower bombardment. All kinds of light and heavy firearms were bombarded, and some of the waves splashed by shells were only a few dozen meters away from Baoshunlu.

However, Bao Shunlun, carrying thick black smoke, seemed to be a monster. He was maneuvering in such a dense Qing army artillery without affecting it, and bombarding with two head and tail main guns.

Soon the artillery at the tail of the gun also achieved a victory. The Qing army warship hit seemed to have a hammer hitting an egg shell. The white waves suddenly surged out, and in a short while it turned into several boards and dozens of struggling crew members.

Ye Ningbing ran towards the stern with a bottle of good wine that she had found from somewhere in his hand. The waves wet her hair along the way, but she still sent the wine to the gunner at the stern: "Your celebration wine is done well!"

Although each one just took a brief sip, the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers became unprecedentedly boiling: "If you want to drink, come another one!"

"They were hit in one shot!"

The artillery battle between the two sides has reached a very fierce level. As the armed red ship "Ziwei Star", the most forward, it has been hit by two shells, but both the main guns at the head and tail or the secondary guns on both sides have continued to participate in the war, and they soon achieved the first result.

The main force of the Hongjun Fleet who came from behind also achieved their first victory. It was a very unfortunate Xiaomi boat. The combat distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and it was possible to enter the platoon battle.

The Qing army had already understood that Baoshun Lun was the most important battleship of the Hong Army. As long as Baoshun Lun was sunk, victory would belong to them. Therefore, they gathered all the large warships, blessing ships, red single ships, sand ships, and rice boats, trying to siege Baoshun Lun.

Now the battle between the two sides is only one mile away. Zhang Sigui roared loudly, but found that the entire Baoshunlun had been crazy and no one heard his voice. On the contrary, Ye Ningbing became the real captain and the leader.

She got the wine jar from somewhere. Whenever the gunners achieved a victory, she would send the sailors a celebration wine in the rain of bullets, and the sailors also rewarded them with crazy performance. Just now, Ye Ningbing shouted loudly: "We have set another record, one minute and fifty, this time, loading only takes one minute and fifty. You are gods!"

What a miracle it was to reduce the time for reloading to within two minutes, the sailors became more agile, and they shouted: "Another jar of celebration wine, come again!"

Zhang Sigui also held a pocket watch in his hand, but on his pocket watch, the time for reloading this time was 2004. Unfortunately, it was only a little bit short of it and it could be compressed to within two minutes.

But the next round of reloading was indeed compressed to 1-52 points, and Ye Ningbing said loudly: "It's only a little bit short, it's only a little bit short, it's about 1-50 minutes. Just now, you were 1-37 points. If you increase your speed a little bit, you are the best, you are gods!"

Zhang Sigui now understood, but in the next round of artillery, the sailors were indeed inspired by Ye Ningbing. They completed a reloading and artillery attack in just one minute and thirty-nine. They had never had this result in their usual training.

The sound of artillery was roaring, but it could not suppress Ye Ningbing's voice. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the accuracy of the artillery shooting on both sides was becoming more and more accurate. Bao Shunlun, as the key target of the Qing army, had already been hit by five or six artillery shells in succession.

But hitting Baoshunlun made the Qing army despair and collapse. They almost immediately saw the shells bombarded Baoshunlun bombarded again. Unless they hit directly, Baoshunlun was simply damaged. They could only see him bounce the shells back again and again.

In this case, the navy leader on the opposite side, Qianba could only shout loudly: "Blast at the wheel of the Red Thief. If they break their wheels, they can't move!"

However, if you want to hit those paddle wheels that look a bit conspicuous but are actually very difficult to hit by high-speed movement. This is simply as difficult as the Qing army to use a millet boat to challenge the first-class battleships of the British Empire!

This is the gap between modern navy and ancient navy, this is a gap of four hundred years!

The large and small cannons on Baoshunlun, whether they are the 60-pound rifled cannons as the main gun or the bunch of Karen cannons as the secondary gun, can almost achieve a brilliant victory in one shelling. However, as long as they can hit, Ye Ningbing's figure will appear in the cannon position that has made meritorious contributions. The bottles and jars in her hand seem to be endless, and the limits of the gunners also seem to be endless.

Zhang Sigui saw with his own eyes that he had really reloaded and fired and compressed it to within one and a half minutes. This is one and a half minutes!

You know, this is the level that only the navy of the great powers has. Now the entire Baoshun ship is crazy!

Up to now, more than 50 large and small Qing warships participating in the war have been sunk by the Hongjun, and two-thirds of the results are the Baoshun ships, and even one red ship was sunk by the Hongjun.

Now all the warships of the Hong Army have been suppressed. They baptized the Qing army's warship group with overwhelming artillery bombardment. From time to time, a warship in the entire Qing army fleet was even sunk by a single shot, and they were almost unable to move and lost their combat effectiveness!

The outcome of this naval battle has been decided!

Zhang Sigui looked back at Ye Ningbing who could hardly walk. Ye Ningbing was almost lying on the deck, leaning against the railing so that she would not fall to the ground. However, as long as the gunner could achieve a victory, she would miraculously send the celebration wine as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but sigh, it would be a pity for such a girl to marry into the deep palace in this life!
