Chapter 992: Destroying the rot (Part 2)

With Xu Jin's order, the drums and horns were heard in an instant. Amid the rapid and rapid rainy war drums, the Ming Navy immediately divided into two groups and pressed towards Osujima. However, the battle sails were like clouds, and the fierce murderous aura rushed into the sky.

Boom boom boom boom...

Three or four miles apart, the island's artillery fired first with its long range. The shells roared towards the formation of the Ming Navy, blowing the sea water columns into the air. A Cangshan boat was hit by the stern, and the wood was broken and a large piece was cut off on one side of the ship's string, and the casualties were unknown.

"Damn it, you hit it, we hit it!"

"Go to his grandma, it's midnight, let's go again, haha!"

The rebels around the fort cheered loudly and slapped in high prides. These groups were all from pirates, and they were full of foul words. They cursed when they were angry, cursed when they were happy, and cursed when they were excited.

Mao Haifeng waved his fist excitedly and shouted loudly: "Good fight, brothers, please work harder and do a few more shots while the distance is still far, so that the Ming army can be the turtle in the sea."

The rebels cheered in unison and were full of energy to load the ammunition.

Mao Haifeng knew that the artillery on the Ming Navy's ships were all Folang machine cannons. This thing was rear loading. Although the firing rate was fast, the range was only about one mile, and the land-based guns on the island could reach four miles. Therefore, before the Ming Navy fired, the land-based guns on the island were enough to be activated twice, or even three times.

However, at this moment, a shocking sound came from the sea - a boom, but a pillar of smoke rose from a giant ship with six masts, followed by a sharp roar. Mao Haifeng's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously covered his ears and quickly fell down.

I saw a stream of fire dragging the long flames and falling from the sky, accurately hitting a fort on the island. But when I heard a loud bang, it seemed like the mountains collapsed and the ground was cracked. The fort built with bricks and stones broke into pieces on the spot. The cannon tube weighing thousands of pounds flew several meters high, and fell down with a bang, smashing several rebels into pieces.

Silence! Deadly silence!!

The air seemed to solidify for a few seconds. The rebels, including Mao Haifeng, got up carefully, and their eyes fell to the fort, and they immediately took a breath of air conditioning.

Oh my God, the sturdy turret is completely different. The cannon stand is split into pieces and the cannon barrel flew several feet away. The rebels on the turret were even more terrible. They died on the spot with great pleasure. The body was covered in blood and blood, and their hands and feet were broken and their faces were beyond recognition. One of them even had his lower body blown away, and his intestines were flowing all over the ground and had not yet died. It was worse than death!

Mao Haifeng was so scared that he was shattered and looked up at the sea. Because the rising smoke had not dissipated, he could confirm which warship fired the gun just now. The distance was about five or six miles, and the range was too terrifying.

Mao Haifeng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. It was obvious that the Ming army actually loaded heavy artillery on the ship. The range was so long and it had such powerful power. This heavy artillery was at least tens of thousands of pounds. What's strange is that it was actually so accurate. Could it be that it was a great fortune?

At this time, Xie Sangu patted the main gunner Huang Cang on the shoulder and praised: "Xiao Huang, you did a great job. I will give you a merit."

"Thank you, General." Several gunners said happily.

Xie Sanliang laughed, reached out and touched the giant cannon beside him, and exclaimed: "What a good cannon. According to me, this cannon should be called the Divine Power Invincible Thunderbolt Cannon. The red cannon doesn't sound majestic at all. The level of the general's name is not as good as Err, haha!"

Several gunners just smiled and didn't dare to answer. Xie Sanqiang was the brother-in-law of the Grandmaster. He had the courage to joke with the Grandmaster, but they didn't dare. Moreover, they felt that a wise and powerful figure like the Grandmaster, it must be his reason to name this giant cannon Red Cannon!

In fact, the Red-Eagle Cannon was introduced from the West in the late Ming Dynasty. The Red-Eagle Cannon means the Red-Furious Yangfan. The Red-Eagle Cannon is a front-loaded smooth-bore cannon with a long gun barrel, thick wall, and large diameter. The overall shape gradually becomes thicker from the muzzle to the tail, which is in line with the principle of the chamber pressure from high to low when the gunpowder is burning. The range can range from five to ten miles. Moreover, cylindrical gun ears are designed on both sides of the Red-Eagle Cannon, which can freely adjust the firing angle. It also has a sight and a gate, and the shooting accuracy is very high.

The general carrier-based Red Barbarian cannon is about three meters long and weighs more than 10,000 kilograms. If the shells are made of large lead, the range will be five or six miles, and the small lead can reach more than ten miles.

The range of the artillery of the Ming Dynasty can reach five or six miles, but the design is not so clever, and the weight is several times that of the Red and Barbarian cannons, making the carrier-based cannons extremely inconvenient. As early as two years ago, Xu Jin drew drawings of the Red and Barbarian cannons, allowing the Nanjing Military Arts Bureau to develop. After more than two years of efforts by many craftsmen in the Military Arts Bureau, the carrier-based red and Barbarian cannons were finally built.

This time, when the troops sent troops to suppress the rebellion in Japan, the Ming Navy carried ten red barbarian cannons. It was not that Xu Jin didn't want to bring too much. It was because this thing was too heavy. One was weighing more than 10,000 kilograms, and one with a six-massed giant ship could be deployed. In addition, this thing was only used for attacking and deterrence. It was useless to carry too much, and it would only affect the fleet's capacity. In fact, the remaining firepower of the Ming Navy was enough to sweep away Japan.

boom……

Another shocking sound was heard, and the red cannons on another giant ship of the Ming Navy also showed their might. With a sharp roar, the fireball fell on Osumi Island, exploding the earth waves!

Boom boom boom boom...

Under the cover of terrifying artillery fire, the Ming navy launched a fierce attack on Osumi Island from both north and south. The rebels on the island were probably scared to death. It was not until the two Ming navys approached that the rebel navy at the port rushed to lift their sails out of the port to fight.

At this time, the Folang machine cannons of the Ming fleet were exerted, and the artillery fire poured towards the rebel fleet and the fortifications on the island, but when the artillery fire broke out, the gunshots were like a burst of beans!

The rebel fleet also had Folang machine cannons, but the number was not as large as that of the Ming army. In addition, before the battle formation was launched in a hurry, many ships were scrapped in the port.

"General, the artillery fire of the Ming army is too fierce, everyone can't resist it. Please retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, it will be too late!" Mao Haifeng's personal guard leader persuaded anxiously.

Mao Haifeng looked at the already defeated fleet and the fortifications that had been plowed thoroughly. His heart was bleeding, his courage was trembling, and his unwillingness was intertwined with fear.

Osumi Island is the base of Wang Zhi and his son. He invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build it. He gave up like this. How could Mao Feng be willing to do it? But if he doesn't give up, he may not even be able to save his life. The Ming army's firepower was too strong, several times more violent than he thought, and the firearms were obviously more advanced.

Mao Haifeng never dreamed that the fortress he had spent a lot of effort and time to build was so vulnerable in front of the Ming army. In an instant, a terrifying shadow enveloped his heart, and even a hint of regret!

boom……

A heavy artillery hit a centipede ship in the port, and the entire ship disintegrated on the spot, and the rebels on the ship were killed and injured!
