The fleet is getting closer.
Bai Yuan's cannon was also loaded. He turned behind the cannon, aimed left and right, and began to adjust the elevation of the barrel.
Wang Er couldn't help but said: "Just fight? Why don't you say a few words to them first? This seems to be against the rules of the world."
Bai Yuan: "Speak closer. If we let them bring the boat closer to the dock, what use will our cannons have? We might as well stop guarding the Qiachuan dock and just let them land."
Wang Er: "..."
This makes sense
Wang Er discovered that once a thermal weapon is used, the enemy cannot be allowed to get close, so things like shouting before the battle are simply impossible.
The battlefield seems not to be a place where rules and regulations are enforced!
That’s it! When Wang Jiayin's brother-in-law and his kinsmen wanted to kill me, they didn't tell me the rules of the world.
Wang Er stopped talking.
Bai Yuan chuckled, took a torch from the lying rabbit, and lit the match rope on a cannon.
The matches were burning and all attention was on the cannon.
Bai Yuan and the Gao family villagers retreated silently and covered their ears with both hands.
They have seen fire guns fired, and a small amount of gunpowder can make a loud noise and exert great power. This time, the Hongyi cannon is one foot long, and its caliber is many times larger than the fire guns. The big iron ball inside is much bigger than the lead bullets used in firecrackers.
How powerful does this thing have to be when it fires?
I can’t even think about it!
So they retreated further and further away, covering their ears so hard that they didn't dare to loosen their grip.
Bai Yuan covered her ears and saw that some militiamen from Heyang County nearby did not cover their ears. She quickly yelled at them: "Stay away and cover your ears."
The people in the vigilante group woke up after he yelled at them, and everyone covered their ears.
Then, the match rope was burned out!
"boom!
There was a loud noise, which was simply earth-shattering. The Hongyi cannon shook violently, and a ball of angry flames spurted out from the muzzle, pushing a large iron ball and flying out. At the same time, the barrel itself also bounced up, spurting out a blast of fire. A huge plume of smoke.
Even the stone holding the cannon barrel was tilted a lot.
Although everyone was covering their ears, the sound coming through the bones was still deafening.
"What a power!
"horrible!
The militiamen who saw the power of cannon for the first time were all frightened and stunned.
Bai Yuan's attention was on the enemy's fleet. He wanted to see if he could hit the target with one shot after aiming again and again and adjusting the cannon for a long time.
However......
Does not!
On the river in the distance, a huge water column suddenly rushed up. The water column was a foot away from the nearest boat.
What a crooked shot.
Bai Yuan screamed "Ah" and held her head in her hands: "Shoot this art, cross it out."
However, although this shot did not hit directly, Bai Yuzhu's people were all shocked.
Someone on the boat shouted: "Oops, the other side has cannons!"
"I didn't expect that Heyang County, a small county, actually has cannons?
"It's definitely not the county magistrate's artillery, it was transferred from Xi'an, right?
"Is it Wang Chengen, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province? No, it's impossible. Wang Chengen has gone to Beijing to serve the king."
"Who shot it?
"Wang Chengen is not here, it is possible that the governor of Shaanxi came in person."
There was a roaring sound on the boat.
The bandits are a little panicked!
Don't blame them for panic, because they were taught a lesson by cannon not long ago.
Just a few days ago, Wang Jiayin sent them to "attack the city across the river" to attack Hequ County in Shanxi Province. They were doing the same at that time, rowing boats and singing songs, thinking that they would surely capture the small county town.
Unexpectedly, Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Wang Guoliang set up a cannon on the county wall and fired at the fleet, making them pee.
The last time I was bombarded, it seemed like it was the last time.
The memory is still fresh!
Now being suddenly bombarded reminded them of the fear of being at the mercy of artillery.
"Brother Bai, the other party has cannons!
"what should we do?
On Bai Yuzhu's flagship, a group of ruthless bandits were also a little panicked, and surrounded Bai Yuzhu asking urgent questions.
Bai Yuzhu is not outstanding in strength, but his shortcomings are not outstanding. When encountering this kind of thing, he is not panicked. He pondered for a few seconds: "Don't be afraid, the other party only fired one cannon, maybe they only have one cannon." Woolen cloth?"
He just finished speaking.
There was a "boom" on the dock in the distance, and the second shot came.
This time, Bai Yuan did not shoot more accurately. It was impossible to aim the smoothbore cannon, but his luck was better this time than the first time. He only heard a "wow" sound, and a small fishing boat was very close. Where there was a column of water.
The current of the Yellow River is very fast, and it is not easy to operate a boat. Suddenly a cannonball fell so close to the boat, and the water column was rushed up. The water flow naturally shook violently. It would be better if the boat was bigger and could withstand the construction, but this is just a small boat. The small fishing boat swayed suddenly and almost capsized.
There were ten gangsters and a boatman on the boat. The boatman made a living on the boat all year round. This wandering around was no pressure for him, but the same could not be said for the ten gangsters.
The boat shook and seven bandits fell into the water.
Most people in the north don't know the nature of water. They panic when they fall into the water. They drink two mouthfuls of Yellow River water, and their hands and feet keep fluttering.
The boatman quickly stretched out an oar to catch it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the man in the water reached out and grabbed the oar, he pulled hard, dragging the boatman into the water.
The boat lost control and rushed forward. It collided with another small fishing boat, causing the second boat to sway violently and three more bandits fell into the water.
The ship next to it rushed over to rescue, and there was chaos in the fleet.
Bai Yuzhu: "Fuck!*
At the same time, Bai Yuan was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, I got it, I got it this time, shoot this skill and add it back.
Wang Er: "It's obvious that they didn't hit, but they themselves made a mess."
Bai Yuan pretended not to hear, jumped to the side of the cannon again, laughed and said: "Hurry up and reload."
But after he yelled these words, he realized something was wrong.
After the two cannons were fired once, they both moved. The muzzles were no longer facing the direction they had just aimed. They had to be reset. However, it was troublesome to return this heavy thing to its position. It required a lot of people. Carry.
Pa Ditu, Zheng Gouzi and others rushed forward and prepared to reset the cannon, but as soon as a militia soldier put his hand on it, he let out an "ouch" and retracted his hand: "It's so hot." !
Bai Yuan understood immediately: "There is too much gunpowder in this thing. The moment it explodes, it generates a lot of heat, which burns the entire barrel very hot. To cool it down, it needs to be cooled down first. Quick, quick, take it. Come splash with water.”
There was a lot of water prepared in the village. Someone came over with a bucket and poured it on the cannon. There was a splash. The hot bubble tube actually evaporated a lot of water, and a mist rose. This shows how hot this thing is. .
Bai Yuan shouted again: "The temperature has dropped, reset quickly! Bring a brush and clean the remaining medicine in the barrel. By the way, take a roll of cloth, tie it to a stick, and reach into the barrel to remove the remaining medicine inside." Wipe it dry with water, otherwise it cannot be used."
There was chaos around the entire fort.
