"It's so damn exciting!" Standing on the bow, Zheng Zhilong shouted enthusiastically. Because he had rich naval combat experience, he quickly stood out during the training and was taken seriously. He served as the captain of a cruiser.

Of course, his length is also related to his previous status.

He is very familiar with Nagasaki, and it can even be said that the Chinese area of ​​Nagasaki is his territory, er, the territory of his adoptive father Li Dan. However, he who came here today in a different attitude has another

Feeling of pleasure.

When doing business in Japanese territory, where the daimyo shogunate is rampant everywhere, merchants from China, even armed merchants, will inevitably be exploited and oppressed. Of course, Li Dan is not affected, but the people below may be.

, Zheng Zhilong suffered from this anger back then.

Now I can finally vent my anger!

"Boom, give you a hard blast!" Zheng Zhilong shouted. He even ran to the center of the deck, where is the central gun gallery, where several very heavy cannons with very large calibers are usually installed. Here

This was an era when sailing battleships were rampant, and various countries did everything they could to increase the firepower of their battleships.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if anyone had proposed such a design. Anyway, he wanted to figure it out first. As long as the confidentiality work was done properly, he was confident that he could use these things to determine Nanyang's dominance in one battle.

Sitting in front of the cannon, he quickly adjusted the gun mount. Based on the feeling he had obtained from previous visual inspections, after adjustment, he turned the trigger, activated the flint, and ignited the gun.

In one movement, the cannon ignited the propellant in an instant. With a loud bang, the fort was shaken a little, but Zheng Zhilong kept shouting with pleasure.

"It feels so good to bully people from a distance and crush the enemy with cannons!" At this time, Zheng Zhilong felt the charm of naval battles. It was not like what he had played before. A group of ships swarmed up, but he jumped over and hacked and killed randomly. It was really barbaric.

Actions.

"Captain, Captain!" Just when he was about to fire another shot, someone suddenly shouted outside the fort.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to give up the fort, returned it to the gunner here and got out.

"The general sent an order to avoid the Chinese area and shell other places at will!" the ordering soldier replied.

"Avoid the Chinese area? Okay, I understand." Zheng Zhilong nodded, and then began to loudly order, "All gunners, avoid the urban area in the lower left-hand area!"

Soon, the order was passed on, and some gunners began to turn their guns and pour out firepower in other places. Some ships even adjusted the angle of their ships to facilitate bombing of cities and ports.

In such an unscrupulous outpouring of firepower, all the gunners felt very happy. Some even experimented with the newly issued blooming bullets, round blooming bullets with fuse tubes inserted on them, gunpowder inside, and

Asbestos-coated blooming bombs in order to understand their parameters.

To be honest, the production of explosive bombs is a bit difficult, but it is also based on the circular shell. The fuze tube is not a very complicated process. It is just an ordinary wooden tube. It is inserted through the pre-reserved hole, and then

The length of the seal is used to control the detonation time. Although it is impossible to be accurate to the second, the five-second gap can still be guaranteed.

Zhu Youxiao had written these ideas in some documents a long time ago, and then threw them all away for Sun Yuanhua to study. These have just been worked out now. In fact, due to the re-exploitation of Menghuo Oil, Sun Yuanhua also worked out a

Plant an incendiary bomb.

What is filled inside is not gunpowder, but grease and part of the gunpowder. The grease is sealed. After the gunpowder explodes, the grease is spread out. The burning of the gunpowder will naturally ignite the grease, causing the effect of an incendiary bomb. This is also a secret. Weapons, used against Western warships.

Now it has been used by Shen Yourong, and it is considered to be tested on the battlefield for further improvement.

"Come on, come on, Third Brother, let's compete to see who's accuracy is better!" A gunner who was passionate about firing roared and issued a challenge, and the target of his provocation was also on this battleship. He is a famous marksman, and his shooting accuracy is very high on weekdays.

"Let's compete. Come on, let's take the foreigner's spire house. Whoever hits it first will get a drink!" The third child was not to be outdone and pointed to a very challenging target.

The dome of that building is very high and pointed. They have seen similar ones in the capital. It seems to be called a church or something. The people inside are all missionaries. They are very nice people. They also teach them Chinese Pinyin for free. I came here to learn how to read, but for some reason, the third child felt itchy when he saw such a building, and wanted to destroy it with a cannon. He didn't have the chance on weekdays, but now he finally got the chance, and he could enjoy the pleasure.

"Okay, that's the church." The provocateur obviously knows this thing, it seems to be a temple dedicated to gods, but no matter what, it's not on our land anyway, so I won't be afraid of bombing. Besides, I am under the emperor's command. Warrior, our majesty is the reincarnation of God Haotian. Now he is about to return to the great throne by virtue of his achievements in the human world and dethrone the throne of the Jade Emperor. I am afraid of you, a foreign god.

Even if he wants to blame me, he must first pass His Majesty's test. With such mysterious thoughts, the gunner without any psychological hindrance pushed all unknown responsibilities onto Zhu Youxiao, and he began to unscrupulously push down the church.

"Your Majesty protects you from all evil!" After reciting a sentence from the original Hadith, the gunner turned the trigger.

boom!

Following the lead of this cannon, other gunners also took advantage of this rare opportunity to start honing their skills. This is a guarantee of military merit. Whoever has more accurate skills will have a greater chance of making meritorious deeds. When the time comes, If you get promoted, it will be the capital for your rapid rise.

As a result, the slightly taller houses in Nagasaki were all in bad luck. They were focused on by the gunners. As targets for practicing their skills, castle towers, steeple churches, and luxury restaurants with several floors were all the targets. , were all destroyed.

This artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour. When the ammunition inventory was reduced to only a base, Shen Yourong ordered the bombardment to stop.

"It's so enjoyable, so damn enjoyable, little Japanese pirate, I never thought you would be here today! Hahaha!" Shen Yourong looked at Nagasaki amid the ruins and rising flames, and laughed heartily.

"It's so enjoyable!" He unscrewed the small transparent wine bottle in his right hand and poured it into his mouth. The captain next to him stared straight-eyed. Not because of his demeanor, but because of the wine in his hand. , this kind of palace wine in small bottles is the best of the best. It is always a special supply and distributed by the emperor to various ministers and generals. Unexpectedly, the general also has it in his hands.

Although the Japanese pirate rebellion had subsided when Shen Yourong joined the army, it still broke out from time to time. He had basically been running the army along the coast all his life. Naturally, he had encountered Japanese pirates and fought countless battles. Free relatives and friends died there. My heart was filled with hatred for the Japanese pirates.

Once upon a time, he also thought about the day when he could be like the Japanese pirates, raising troops to wreak havoc on the Japanese soil and hatred with blood. Yes, although the Ming Dynasty was still tough on the outside world, he also repelled many invaders many times on the coastal lands. He coveted it, but as he grew older, he found that such a war was becoming more and more difficult. Every time, he had to do his best and rack his brains to think of strategies to defeat the enemy.

Although this is the job of their soldiers, Shen Yourong is still extremely sad. For many years, the military equipment along the coast has not been improved. They are still using the same methods passed down from the Song Dynasty. They are not even as good as fierce fire oil. It is not configured on the warship.

It was so difficult to defend the country, let alone the Prancing Horse in Kyoto (the capital of Japan at that time). He raised troops to take revenge. He originally thought that he would eventually be overwhelmed by this idea, but His Majesty's ascension to the throne vaguely made him see When hope came, especially after the fleet appeared, hope increased greatly.

Until, yesterday, he received the military order to bombard Nagasaki. At that time, he was so excited that he almost cried. He felt that this was just the beginning, and his idea of ​​​​Prancing Horse to Kyoto was not far away.

"Ah Heng, Zixi, you can rest in peace!" Shen Yourong drank wine, but tears suddenly flowed out, and the figures of many people vaguely appeared in front of his eyes.

People in the Ming Dynasty were either elated or happy, but in Nagasaki Prefecture, the Japanese felt fear. This was the end of the world!

The fleet this time is very large, with a total of fifty or sixty warships, and they are basically equipped with the most mature twelve-pound cannon, which has a long range and is light in weight. The only difference is the number of ships installed.

Although a battleship can only fire ordinary naval guns, so many battleships can fire at least seven to eight hundred or even thousands of shells at a time. This density of energy is far greater than when Zhu Youxiao bombed the return home. The transformation of the city is coming even more violently.

Almost all the Japanese in Nagasaki cried. Where did this attack come from?

Tragic screams, moans before death, and cries of crying for fathers and mothers suddenly sounded everywhere in this trading city, even in the gathering areas of Westerners. They had never expected that in this city in the Far East Among them, they were actually subjected to such fierce bombardment that was no less severe than that encountered by the main naval fleet.

The thick lead bullets carried huge kinetic energy, demolishing walls and houses. The scorching heat caused by the friction even ignited some flammable materials. Then, there were some projectiles that were like the roar of the devil. After violent explosion, some black particles exploded. The grease is very viscous and gives off a pungent smell.

These things are very dangerous, with sparks from burning gunpowder flying around, igniting various buildings. And most of the buildings in Japan are made of wood. When encountering something like this loaded with diesel, gasoline or crude oil, I don’t know whether it is diesel or gasoline. The thing was quickly ignited and started burning violently.

The sky is filled with fire, as bright as the lights of the Lantern Festival.
