Chapter 58 Bombardment
The centipede ship was very fast, and hundreds of flag soldiers shouted horns and tried hard to drive the oars. They quickly moved forward and the seventeen string cannons on the right were suddenly blasted out one after another, causing a huge recoil to the hull.
It seemed as if lightning sounded from the sea, and shells were blown out one after another. The terrifying sound just came into the ears of the pirates loading with plundering property on the shore. The rain of bullets was shot in.
Bang!
Bang bang!
The shells were flying in the air, some hitting the berthed ships or embedded in the boards, and more bombarding everywhere, either directly smashing the pirates loading on the shore to the flesh and blood, or scaring them to run around the ground, and the objects wrapped in the ship cloth were scattered all over the ground.
It was still too difficult for Chen Mujun gunners to hit the target while the warship was moving quickly. Thanks to small cannons like the Franc, the distance was close enough to maintain the dispersion in a very small range. Only one round of artillery successfully cracked the board of the Fu Ship's waterline.
"Left string cannon, let it go!"
Chen Mu held the sail rope and leaned against the mast. Although the back seat of the Franco machine was slightly smaller, the seventeen Franco machine on the right bombarded the hull at the same time still brought some tilt to the hull. Then the left string cannon swung in the middle of the swaying fired at the pirate ship that was looking to avoid the centipede ship.
Just as the flagship left string was bombarded, the second centipede ship led by Shiqi behind opened fire at the shore with a right string cannon. Although there were only two warships, it relied on the numerous artillery to launch a fleet of momentum.
"Switch the gun!"
Although the power of the Fran aircraft is small, the speed of the mother-child guns has an advantage that other cannons cannot match. The gunner picked up the cannons with smoke and placed them next to the cannon and were loaded by the medicine handle. After that, the gunner proposed to load the new guns. The whole process was only a dozen breaths, and it was even faster on the boat than the bird guns.
Chen Mu's water battle training was very easy. On weekdays, the boat threw large pieces of waste from the sawmill on the sea forward, and the fleet walked around the Mojiu behind, and discharged the Great Wall on the sea to round the target and bombarded the target with string cannons.
They have practiced the same thing more than a dozen times, and now they are familiar with naval battles. After bombarding two centipede ships, they left the ferry to surround the sea, and took advantage of the advantages of Franc's fast cannon to launch round after round of shelling.
The pirate's lucky ship is very pitiful.
There is a small gun on the boat with more than 200 kilograms of small guns on the bow, and on both sides are four Francos, both old and different sizes. It is one of the two large ships of Xu Jin-US, a major sea gangster. It is always good to plunder the coast on weekdays. It is fearless even if the officials jump to the gang to fight. It is a domineering coastal areas where the cannons are missing.
Last year, they followed Zeng Yiben to attack Chaozhou Prefecture. Even if they met Yu Dayou's navy, they were not defeated, and they had a fair share of the situation with the official army, let alone artillery battles.
The best gunners in the entire Asia in this era are on the pirate ship!
When did they get beaten to the point where they want to escape?
Never!
But what is this now?
Two centipede ships that were equipped with thirty-four Franchise machines were all round their ships. No matter how good the gunner was, it would take a while for the first shot of the ship that was not accurate to be reinstalled. This is still the case where they can replace the ammunition. In fact, can they?
After firing a shot, the Franco machine shells were bombarded in the sky. The head of the rechargeable gunner was smashed to pieces. The four Franco machines were loaded quickly, but the side of the ship was smashed and one cannon slipped into the sea. If the recharge is quick, it will be useless!
This naval battle made the pirates under Xu Jin-US's subordinates understand one truth before their death, and Franji and the others have been using it wrongly.
In the past, the old monster was too powerful, and it would not damage the ship boards for cannons like the official army's lucky ship. At most, it would cause some water to leak, which would be useless.
Now they understand that Franji hits people.
Before the battle was fought, two centipede ships surrounded the lucky ship and blasted two wheels. It was hard to see the people standing on the ship. They were not in the same order of magnitude. In terms of firepower, they could not beat firepower, and in terms of speed, but they were not afraid of sinking no matter how they fought in the watertight partition... The person was killed and the ship did not sink. Isn't this even more uncomfortable?
Go up and the flag army approached the bird guns and blasted them together. The last bit of living people was killed and an old blessing ship was seized with holes.
"Put down the anchor and let it float, get on the boat and get rid of Xu Jinmei!"
Chen Mu was so angry that he was itchy at all. A violent bombing could not calm his anger. Xu Jinmei beat Haojing first if she didn't hit Xiangshan.
Just now, he told many barbarians that after paying taxes, the land was protected by the Ming Dynasty. In a blink of an eye, Xu Jinmei gathered thousands of Japanese pirates to burn, kill and loot - this was slapping him in the face.
More importantly, he knew what Xu Jinmei came here for. He was not here to steal things, but this bastard was here to kill him.
Revenge his younger brother named Lao Lao.
"Brothers on the surface." Chen Mu muttered disdainfully, waved his hand to the flag army dancing the flag, and ordered: "Take the string cannon for two more rounds, and go ashore to kill those bastards!"
The hatred must be truly unforgettable. Xiangshan is so chaotic that more than a dozen black-hearted knives were sent to a small boat to land on a small boat at night. His flag army patrols may not be able to stop him. He was waiting for the rabbit near Qianhu Yamen for half a month and could always catch him when he was left alone.
Do you have to wait until you finish grabbing Haojing before going to find yourself?
This bastard came here for revenge, but more so it was to plunder and make money.
I've found the wrong place to go wild!
The centipede ship was circling around the sea near the port, and poured all three sub-guns of the sixty-eight Franchise machines on the chaotic Haojingao. Then he stopped at the ferry. The flag army rushed to Haojing along the long dike full of holes. When he saw a large area of artillery fire burst out from the West Wangyang Mountain. The shells were flying over the heads of the Japanese pirates, and the large iron bombs plowed out deep ditches on the ground.
The pirates, who had long been hit by the defeat of the warships, were even more frightened. Chen Mu's army attacked from south to north and fled in the conference square.
Even Xu Jinmei lost her sharpness just now. Chen Mu, a thousand households in Xiangshan, had thousands of well-trained flag soldiers, could not imagine that they had two centipede ships carrying more than 30 artillery guns?
The trend is over.
Not to mention the Chen Mu's flag army, which was lined up with bird guns and rocket explosions, even if Chen Mu did not lead the army to land, the Japanese pirates bombarded by the artillery factory's old Duolu artillery was not enough to deal with Deng Zilong's attack.
No matter whether it is Pereira hiding in the city hall or the church, the Francos hiking in the shops rushed out, chasing the Japanese pirates in groups of three or five. Almost as Chen Mu landed in Haojing, the battle entered the final stage of defeat.
Xu Jinmei looked at her defeated subordinates in all directions and stood in the middle of the conference square and smiled miserably, holding a sword and slowly walked towards her as if she ignored the flag troops coming in line.
"Xu Jinmei?"
He heard someone in the military formation calling his name, as if he had a sense of heart. He raised his sword and turned ferocious on his face. Then he must have looked down at the blood hole that was being punched in his chest.
Chen Mu threw the gun to his follower to charge medicine, tilted his head and muttered.
"Kill me?"
