Not only did Fang Guozhen have an ominous premonition, but the King of Jinghai Wang Zhi also felt the same. His eyes widened slightly as he looked at the huge fleet of ships rushing towards him in a triangular shape on the sea.
All along, in his eyes, southerners are good at navigation, while northerners are not good at it, so he has never put Tianjin Port in his eyes.
Although he has heard from others that the navigation and shipbuilding skills of the northerners here in Tianjin are very good. They can go to the Golden Continent thousands of miles away, and the performance of the large ships they build is very superior.
But he still felt that the northerners were landlubbers, but now, looking at the fleet that had changed formations in a very short time on the sea, he realized that maybe he was really wrong.
Sea Spirit Sun En, King of the Seven Seas Chen Zuyi, and Japanese pirate leader Dayou Zonglin also became solemn. The entire sea area suddenly turned into a battlefield with thousands of troops, and the opponent's momentum was like a rainbow, mighty, like a
The iron army generally came towards him to kill him.
"Matsuura Takanobu was defeated unjustly~"
At this moment, Otomo Zonglin thought of Matsuura Takanobu and his good friend. Until now, in fact, no one has figured out how he and Wang Zhi were completely destroyed.
But now, he seems to be able to see a thing or two. Facing such a fleet, losing seems understandable.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and even with the naked eye, you can clearly see the mighty fleet of the other side on the sea.
"It's fifteen miles away, and it's already within the optimal shooting range~"
Lin Shuhong looked at it with a telescope and calculated the distance between the two sides with a little calculation in his mind. He was good at mathematics and liked astronomy and geography, so he was definitely an expert in this area.
"Well, give me the order and fire immediately~"
Du Mingen nodded, and then ordered coldly.
"Yes~"
Lin Shuhong nodded and immediately began to pass orders.
As Du Mingen's order was passed on, the students responsible for directing the artillery fire on the large ships made calculations very quickly, and then immediately issued the order to fire the artillery.
"Huh~"
As soon as the small red flag was waved, the Miyun cannons on the ship began to fire.
"Dong~dong~"
There were dull running sounds, and along with the rising of thick white smoke, cannonballs flew rapidly through the air, attacking the pirate ship that was rushing over.
"Bang~"
After firing a shell, the artillerymen in charge of the bombardment quickly opened the rear boring, and the copper shell casing automatically fell out. Then a new shell was reloaded, the fuse was ignited, and a shell flew again.
go out.
The rapid-fire shells were fired quickly, and the crew member in charge used binoculars to carefully look at the situation in the sea ahead and observe the shelling.
"Dong~"
Here in the sea area where the pirates were, with cannonballs flying over, huge water columns suddenly rose up on the sea surface. The water splashed by the water columns fell on one of the surrounding ships, making the originally excited and dancing.
The pirates were as if cold water had been poured on them, and they were instantly trembling with fear.
The range of the cannonball attack is really too far. The most important thing is that these cannonballs seem to have eyes and are extremely accurate.
"Kacha~"
On the first few Dafu ships, cannonballs fell one after another on these ships. Under the influence of the huge inertia of the cannonballs, holes were torn out in these ships in an instant, and the wood made a tooth-piercing sound.
"Ah~"
At the same time, there were unlucky pirates on these ships. The Japanese pirates were hit, and instantly there was a mist of blood, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. It was terrible to see.
"What a terrifying artillery~"
"How come you can hit so accurately from such a long distance~"
Sea King Fang Guozhen looked at the cannonballs flying in the sky with a dark face, felt the water columns rising from the sea, and then looked at the miserable scenes on the neighboring ships that had been hit, and his whole body grew up in shock.
mouth.
They also have artillery, but the artillery on their ships can't shoot very far at all. It only has a short range. The key is that the artillery is difficult to shoot accurately. Unless it is very close, it will not have much effect at all.
Many times, they would use artillery at close range, load some shotguns, and then kill the enemy in a large area. But now, looking at the artillery flying continuously in the sky, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Quick, rush forward~ rush forward~"
Fang Guozhen was frightened and shouted angrily.
And this is just the beginning~
"The distance is 14 miles, the wind speed is level 4, the speed is level 5, the angle is reduced by 2 degrees, and shoot~"
On the big ship of Tianjin Ocean Trading Company, the crew members were not in a hurry. After just a round of rapid fire, they mastered accurate data and quickly calculated the new shooting parameters.
"Dong~dong~"
Along with bursts of sound, cannonballs flew towards the pirate group in the distance again.
This time, the shooting accuracy was even higher, and the cannonballs began to fall densely on the Japanese pirate ships as if they had eyes.
"Bang~"
The rising water columns came closer to the ship.
At the same time, there were more unlucky ships. One after another, the shells fell on each ship, tearing open the thick template very easily, tearing open a series of holes, and at the same time, a thick fire was set off on the ship.
The snow mist and broken limbs were stained red with blood, making these murderous pirates and Japanese pirates widen their eyes in fear.
"It's so scary~"
Sun En, the sea spirit, was dumbfounded. This was definitely the first time he had seen such a terrifying and accurate artillery. He was in disbelief. Just now, a shell fell on the ship he was riding on, shattering the mast. At the same time,
He also beat a dozen people near the mast to pieces, and a hand flew directly to his face.
"Have you seen it? I just said it. We don't need to panic at all. We can just wait and see the good show."
On the 'Huishanghao', both Feng Xiang and Zhu Benduan had climbed onto the mast of the ship. Looking at the bustling scene on the sea ahead, Feng Xiang also said with a smile.
"It's incredible that Tianjin Ocean Trading Company's artillery can shoot so far and so accurately. Such artillery is simply terrifying."
Zhu Benduan looked at the panicked group of pirates and couldn't help but say.
He had seen artillery before and knew about it, but this was the first time he had seen artillery that could shoot so far and so accurately.
"This is technology~These artillery pieces should be cast by Miyun Iron Factory~"
Feng Xiang nodded and said.
"Technology~"
I hope I will note it down silently.
Round after round of shelling continued, and the artillery attacks were very fast, one after another, like a tide.
"How many artillery pieces do they have?"
Chen Zuyi, the King of the Seven Seas, was dumbfounded by this terrifying mass of artillery. He also often played with artillery.
Knowing the situation of the artillery, such a dense artillery attack would require at least several thousand artillery pieces, but it seems that the only ships to be attacked are the large ships in front.
"Boom~"
Then before he could figure out the situation, a round of intensive artillery fell in his direction. He was very unlucky. The big ship he was riding was directly hit by several cannons. This time, one of the cannonballs hit him from the side.
In the middle, a huge hole was opened directly, and seawater began to surge in.
"Quick~rescue~"
Chen Zuyi shouted hysterically. Looking at the surrounding sea, he saw that among the hundreds of ships he had brought over, more than a dozen ships had begun to sink to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, there were dozens of ships that were more or less damaged.
.
"Both sides are still more than ten miles away, and I have already lost more than a dozen ships~"
Chen Zuyi wanted to cry. Each of these ships was a property that he had worked hard to save, and it was his heart and soul. At this time, looking at the dozens of ships that were gradually sinking, his heart was
Drops of blood.
"Dong~dong~"
Under the blue sea and sky, deafening blasts of cannons were heard from the sea, and dense shells were raining down on the pirates and Japanese pirates.
The cannonballs loaded with rear boring can fire at an incredibly fast rate. Round after round, the cannonballs are pouring out as if they are free of charge.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and the bombardment became more accurate, the pirates began to despair.
"My ship~my ship~"
"Big Shark~"
"Big Whale~"
Sun En, the sea spirit, was about to cry but had no tears. She had worked hard on the sea all her life and finally saved up this little fortune. But now she could only watch in despair as a ship was sent into the sea.
"Ah~my ship~"
"My warrior~"
Otomo Zonglin's eyes were also blood red. He saw his loyal warriors and clan members being baptized by artillery fire. He saw what little possessions he had left being slowly devoured by artillery fire. His whole heart was bleeding. He couldn't wait to grow up.
After acquiring a pair of wings, he immediately flew to the opponent's ship and started killing people.
Despair spread among the pirate group. Being attacked by this terrible artillery fire, the pirates and Japanese pirates were crying without tears. Their formation was panicked, and some people began to escape.
