Chapter 578 Artillery Roaring (Part 2)
Is that right? Come on, Chen Liang, what are your ideas? Even though I have something to say, I am interested in it. Although I have some tricks, I hope more to cultivate the ability of subordinates and students to use their hands and brains.
Chen Liang smiled honestly: "Actually, it was also hit. Last time the student was testing the gun, he once hit a target within a thousand meters, but the barrel of the cannon was tilted upward, so he could not hit it. At that time, the young man thought that the initial speed of our cannon was much faster than that of the mortar. Can we level it up? Later, we raised the barrel with mud and finally knocked off the target in a straight line, but the cannon shook it back. The student felt that in this way, the recoil should not affect the deck." 976b30
"Good boy! Ghostly, good, this is a good idea." I slapped this guy happily. I turned to Zhang Liang and looked at General Zhang Liang and was about to ask him to borrow something. Liu Rengui, who was next to him, lit up and spoke first: "General Fang, please wait a moment, the lower official will send someone to get some sandbags in the bay from the bottom cabin."
"It's great. If there are sandbags, we won't think of other ways." I said happily. At this time, Zhang Liang came over and discussed with me happily. He meant that he wanted me to let all ships loaded with artillery and mortars take action. This was just my wish. I signaled to the artillery flag bearer: "Immediately notify the gunners of the military academy of each ship, ships with artillery, and do as per this. In addition, other fires are not available.
The cannon, only the mortar warship, can be placed on two or three mortars, so that they can also practice. Remember, each cannon is only allowed to fire three cannons. Except for the first cannon, which uses the flowering bullet and the second and third cannons, don’t shoot all the remaining shells for me.” I ordered very seriously, this time I came in a hurry, and I was marching in a hurry, so I didn’t bring too many shells, so I had to leave some shells to kill the capital of Goguryeo.
Soon, the order was delivered by the artillery flag bearers. Soon with the help of the sailors, the tail of the bronze cannon was raised with a sandbag, and was placed higher on the left and right sides of the rear of the cannon. In this way, even if the cannon exploded, it would not hurt the deck and the surrounding people. Chen Liang seemed not satisfied with just a small inclination angle down. He kept observing the ruler on the cannon and directed the deputy gunner on the side to adjust the sandbag.
----------------------------------------------------
Finally, he simply opened the top sandbag, dug out some sand, and adjusted the angle of the artillery bit by bit. After a cup of tea, Chen Liang finally stopped with satisfaction. Soon, the artillery flag bearers on dozens of warships raised the green flags in their hands, which meant that all the artillery troops were ready and on standby.
At this time, the Goguryeo warship opposite was approaching, "1,500 meters...1,400 meters, 1,300 meters..." The artillery rangefinder kept reporting the distance between the two sides. However, when the other party was about 800 meters away from the Tang naval army, he seemed to have set up a dense formation for the Tang naval army, and stayed motionlessly, neither making a response or retreating. This must have made the Goguryeo naval commander wonder.
So they stopped more than a mile away. This distance may have been an extremely safe place for them in the past, but now it provides us with an excellent opportunity to shell out.
However, this distance is enough for our artillery. They only need to adjust the angle a little to complete the blow of Goguryeo's densely approaching naval army.
At this time, the military academy soldiers, Su Dingfang and others who were just shoved by seasickness, had forgotten all their discomforts and widened their eyes, trying to see how the artillery would show their huge lethality and destructive power on the sea.
When the artillery flag bearer reported to me that all the artillery and mortars on the ship were ready and after making a standby gesture, I walked up to Zhang Liang, the naval commander, and saluted: "Report to General, all the artillery of my Tang Military Academy has been in place. Can I attack the enemy now?"
Zhang Daliang patted my shoulder: "Okay, nephew, do it well, let me open my eyes, and let the Goguryeo water ducks look at the power of my Tang Dynasty artillery."
"The last general will receive the order!" I nodded confidently, turned around, and looked at Duan Yunsong. Duan Yunsong's legs were standing attentively and bulged his chest muscles: "What are the general's instructions?"
"Tell all gunners who are preparing to fight, divide and count the first row of enemy ships from left to right, and then the gunner aims at the corresponding Goguryeo warships according to their location." I pointed at the opposite side and walked towards Duan Yunsong. After Duan Yunsong received the order, he immediately conveyed it.
I soon heard the news that I was ready again came back.
At this time, the Goguryeo fleet was moving. I picked up the telescope and looked at it. A large number of Goguryeo soldiers holding swords and bows were pouring on the deck of Goguryeo's warships. Then, under the command of a man who seemed to be a general or a leader, there were chaotic roars on more than a hundred Goguryeo warships.
I smiled contemptuously, Damn, the mobs, even the slogans were not ticked in order. I looked ahead and silently recited it ten times in my heart. The Three Pure Dao Honor Blessings will hit you with one blow, and promote the power of the artillery of the Tang Military Academy. If I achieve my wish, after returning to Chang'an, I would like to go to the Loyal Soul Temple to worship more, and then look back and nodded violently to the artillery flag bearer, and waved the red flag in my hand behind the flag. 976b30
I felt that the boat carrying it shook gently, and then there was a burst of explosion of the sky and the earth, and then a roar followed by a roar in my ears. Balls of white smoke rose from dozens of Tang Dynasty warships, and the sound of shells flying in the sky spread out. Immediately, the tall hull of the Goguryeo warship that was facing us, which turned out to be swinging gently with the waves suddenly seemed to have been imposed. Immediately, a fire-red flame completely surrounded the main mast of the ship. Immediately, I saw the broken limbs and broken arms flying around in the telescope, and the tall main mast trembled as if it was overwhelmed.
After shaking for a while, he fell down obliquely, and even overturned a small boat that had come out of nowhere on the side. The Goguryeo people standing on the deck holding swords and weapons on the ship seemed to have not yet realized how all this happened. They didn't even understand that this was just a dessert given to them by the Tang Dynasty artillery. The second shell of the artillery was accompanied by white smoke and fire from the hideous gun mouth. He controlled the angry roar from the gun mouth, screaming, and again, towards a terrifying big fist, viciously smashed a huge hole directly from the front of the Goguryeo warship and penetrated into the darkness.976b30
----------------------------------------------------
All the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty watched the scene. The more than a hundred Goguryeo warships on the opposite side no longer had the momentum of waiting for death. Ships kept swaying in panic and then colliding. Goguryeo threw down the weapons in her hand and ran around on the deck with sad screams and shouts. Some ships had already ignited the sky, and the huge sails were exactly the favorite food of the fire demons.
The Goguryeo warship, which was hit by Chen Liang, the excellent gunner, had three shots and hit the first two shots, had already been tilted to a terrible angle, and was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The waves were rolling on the water, and the white foam soared. Countless Goguryeo people jumped into the sea from those burning and subversive ships, staring helplessly at their shelter and were swallowed by flames and boundless sea water...
"We haven't fought with them yet, and we haven't even shot a rocket yet..." a navy general said in a daze.
These words made the navy generals on the side look stern. "I never thought that after just a few shots, the courage of the Goguryeo people was destroyed. Haha, nephew, it seems that if my Tang navy can be invincible in the world in the future, he can use it, he must be a sharp weapon!" General Zhang stroked his long white beard and shook his head and sighed. 976b30
"The whole army was ordered to advance and accelerate the defeated enemy in Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people in the water were born and born. Since our whereabouts had been discovered by the Goguryeo navy, if they were allowed to escape ashore, it would be more difficult for our side troops to take the capital of Goguryeo."
I nodded. Now that my mission has been completed successfully, I put down the telescope and let out a long breath. My mood finally calmed down. I turned around and walked towards the cannon whose smoke had dissipated. The sandbags on both sides were intact. However, the ten sandbags weighing nearly 100 pounds behind were backed by the tail of the cannon. It can be seen that the clumsiness of the cannon was still quite huge. Chen Liang raised his hand to salute me with some annoyance: "Master of the Report Academy, the student failed to hit the third shot."
