Deng Kai frowned slightly when he heard his words.
Because he always felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined.
You must know that all the ships they use now are the imperial court's standard warships.
It stands to reason that in such a situation, as long as one party can hit the other party, then the opposite party can also hit itself.
Moreover, the effective range of the imperial court's standard warships is only a hundred feet.
Now the distance between the two sides is more than a hundred feet?
But even with such a distance, the other party took the lead in starting the war.
You must know that the ammunition equipped on each warship is not sufficient.
But now that Master Qin and the others are doing this, it is obviously a waste of ammunition.
Although some people couldn't understand why this happened, Deng Kai, who took every war seriously, still did not rush to draw conclusions.
He also ignored Pao Ze's words beside him.
I don't know if it was because of Deng Kai's ignorance that the people around him felt dissatisfied.
Immediately, I heard the man speak again.
"Lao Deng, why don't you speak?"
At this moment, Deng Kai didn't want to pay attention to the people around him at all, and his eyes were still fixed on the approaching warship ahead.
Looking at the approaching warships, Deng Kai increasingly realized that something was wrong.
In particular, the speed at which the two sides were approaching had exceeded his expectations.
According to the current speed of their warships, the distance between the two sides should not be closed so quickly.
But Deng Kai is too lazy to think about it now. As soon as the opponent's warship comes within range, he will order an attack as soon as possible.
As the two sides continued to get closer, it finally dawned on Deng Kai that Master Qin and his warships had entered the shooting range.
The distance of a hundred feet was reached, but Deng Kai did not directly order the attack.
Because he is waiting!
Waiting for all the warships to enter the attack range.
He didn't want to give Master Qin's warship any chance.
It was not until the actual warships had completely entered and reached the attack range that Deng Kai gave the order to attack.
At this moment, Deng Kai's voice fell, and bursts of roaring followed.
As the roar fell, Deng Kai's eyes stayed on the other party's exploration ship.
Originally, in his opinion, such an attack would definitely hit the opposite warship.
You must know that the people responsible for the artillery attack are not the new recruits, but their own brothers.
But the result was beyond Zheng Kai's expectation.
Because at this moment, their attacks were like flying stones. Not only did they not fall on Master Qin's warship, but they fell into the sea at will.
Deng Kai looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, completely confused as to what was going on.
Faced with this situation, Deng Kai couldn't help shouting and asking.
"What on earth is going on? How come the results are so skewed?"
Deng Kai's roar quickly attracted everyone's attention.
At this moment, the people on the deck were looking at each other, obviously not knowing what the problem was.
"Quickly pass the order! Ask what happened just now?"
After Deng Kai finished speaking, his eyes fell on Lord Qin's warship again.
Because the distance between the two parties has been further shortened at this moment.
If we follow the current pillow on our side, even if it enters the shooting range, it may not be able to hit the opposite ship.
On the contrary, if Lord Qin's militiamen are a little better, then their side will face a catastrophic blow.
When thinking of this, how could Deng Kai not be anxious?
Fortunately, after a while, someone had already sent the news.
"Report! The person in charge of the launch said that it was shaking too much in the sea and it was completely impossible to aim."
After hearing this, Deng Kai fell into silence for a moment.
Because Deng Kai didn't expect this to be the case.
For nearly half a year, they all focused on training the formation and physical fitness of the officers and soldiers.
It never occurred to me that I would need to train for something like sea shooting.
But now on the maritime battlefield, I found that this has become a fatal weakness.
Deng Kai froze on the spot for a moment, looking ahead blindly.
He knew there was no hope for them now.
The only hope now is to pray that Master Qin's militiamen are also inaccurate in shooting.
However, in Deng Kai's view, the possibility of such a situation is almost zero.
You know, Master Qin's men have actually faced Japanese pirates.
If they could not ensure the accuracy of artillery when facing Japanese pirates, then they would not be able to win so many victories.
Deng Kai, who had a wry smile on his face, finally couldn't help but lower his head as he looked at the approaching ships in front of him.
The soldier who had been standing next to Deng Kai also noticed something unusual about him at this moment.
No matter how stupid he is, he can now tell that something is wrong with Deng Kai's mood.
Combined with the current situation, as long as you are not stupid, you can understand what caused all this.
"No, Lao Deng, are you giving up so quickly?"
When he heard the person next to him say this, Deng Kai just came back to his senses, slowly looked up, looked at the person next to him, and smiled helplessly.
"Old Zhao, can't you still see the gap between us?"
When the soldier known as Lao Zhao heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was no longer as relaxed as before.
"Didn't you say that the general is bound to win this battle? How can you give up so easily now?"
Lao Zhao's words really woke up Deng Kai.
Yes, he was in a dead end from the beginning.
Looking back at the time when they were at the border, they had never encountered such a situation, but when did they not try to turn the tide?
Why did you give up so quickly when facing Master Qin now?
Lao Zhao's words also instantly ignited Deng Kai's fighting spirit again.
"Old Zhao, thank you."
"We are all old brothers, why are you talking about this?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Deng Kai also ordered one after another at this moment.
"Since our artillery can't hit accurately, we don't need artillery. Archers are ready!"
"put!"
Following Deng Kai's order, the archers standing on the deck, with their bowstrings fully loaded with arrows, rushed straight to Qinhe's warship like wild horses.
However, even though they were using bows and arrows, they still missed the target.
There is no other reason, because the opponent's warship is really surprisingly fast.
Even if they aimed as hard as possible and then shot the arrows in their hands, the result was still the same.
For a time, the morale of the 500 people led by Deng Kai gradually declined.
They couldn't hit the opponent, and what was even more annoying was that the opponent's warship was within their shooting range.
Even standing on the deck, they could still clearly see the mocking smiles of the people on the other side's deck.
