A cannon weighs about 800 kilograms. It is not an easy task to move it from the cabin to the deck!
Liang Chuan led the sailors, tied up the artillery with cables, carried it with wooden sticks, and moved it laboriously from the cabin to the deck. Fortunately, the base of the artillery was made into a movable four-wheeler with wheels, and was pushed to the ship's ladder. Move up and down, plus Liang Chuan's innate supernatural power, otherwise several people will be exhausted!
Facing enemies like swarms of ants, and with Japanese knives in their hands, it doesn't seem to matter whether the artillery explodes or not!
Death under this artillery fire is just a matter of pleasure. The speed is too fast for people to react. It is better than being enslaved by the Japanese and tortured to death!
This dangerous and powerful weapon seemed to give everyone confidence again in an instant!
The sailors brought the ammunition up from the cabin. Although there were hundreds of ammunition this time, the quantity was probably not enough!
The battle on the water is about to begin!
The cunning Yamamoto was afraid of the long-range fire and thunder weapons that his subordinates mentioned. The weapons of the Song Dynasty were more than a hundred times stronger than those of the Japanese. He had known for a long time that their bows and arrows could shoot a super distance of hundreds of steps, and they also had powerful crossbows. It's even more shocking, even the Khitans are afraid of this weapon.
It’s not surprising at all that there are fire thunders!
He would not be stupid enough to take the lead and die first. He held the bow of the ship and waved his hand to signal the warships behind him to rush forward first!
He wants to see if there is such a powerful weapon?
The artillery is moved to the deck, so that there is no need to turn the ship sideways to bombard the opponent's ship. The flexible artillery can adjust the direction at will, so that it can also drift south along the ocean current at the same time, avoiding the danger of being outflanked!
The enemy is finally here!
Five artillery pieces were placed on the deck, and they were all aimed at the first Japanese ship that came. This ship was extremely small, and there were only about 20 Japanese people showing off on it. Such a ship would not be able to survive in such windless weather. It has an advantage in sailing, and the boat can be driven with an oar!
"Three shells, sink this ship!" Liang Chuan ordered, Xia Dehai urged the sailors to adjust the angle, and once confirmed, fire immediately!
boom!
A loud thunder-like sound reverberated on the sea. The first cannonball missed, and the seawater next to the Japanese ship was blown into the sky. The hull of the ship was shaken violently, and everyone on board was stunned and stunned. How dare you bully me again where you are?
Boom, followed by a second cannonball, blasting a big hole in the hull. A large number of Japanese people on board died, and the hull also burst into flames!
This hit immediately gave the people on the treasure ship immense confidence! Xia Dehai adjusted the angle slightly, and then fired the third shot. This shot directly hit the hull of the ship, blowing it into two pieces. The Japanese suffered numerous casualties. No one on the ship could move normally, and the warship sank into the sea forever!
Yamamoto was stunned. It turned out that his subordinates were not deceiving him. There really were such powerful weapons in the world. If he could possess these weapons, plus his ship, who else could be him in this vast sea area in the future? opponent!
Yamamoto Kameda was not afraid of rejoicing, with a look of madness and passion in his eyes, and even more crazily urged his men to attack the treasure ship!
He is an extremely smart person, and he can see the flaws of the artillery at a glance. Although this thing is powerful, its accuracy seems to be inferior. If the fleet is not densely packed together, there is a high probability that it can avoid it. attack!
Moreover, the attack frequency of this artillery seems to be very low. It takes a long time to hold up a cannon, and the interval is not short, and the ship can be sunk slowly!
This time difference is your precious opportunity to grab this boat!
The Japanese ships approached Liang Chuan's treasure ship one by one, and suddenly found that such a wheel battle suited Liang Chuan's appetite, and they were killed one by one by cannonballs. The Japanese also realized that something was wrong, and immediately adjusted their strategy and spread out their formation to form an umbrella shape. The ground is close to the treasure ship, and each ship is well separated, so the probability of being hit is even smaller!
Liang Chuan also discovered something was wrong. It turned out that an artillery piece was aimed at a ship. The enemy was in full bloom on the sea, and the formation was very scattered. He suddenly lost his target!
Xia Dehai decisively adjusted his combat method and said: "Aim all artillery at the warship at the front and ignore the warships behind!"
Instead of fully blooming and greatly reducing the hit rate, it is better to defeat them one by one. This is more efficient. One less enemy is one, and conversely, there is one more chance of survival!
Xia Dehai's ability to respond to situations was indeed not bad. It turned out that he fired more than a dozen cannonballs, but only damaged a few ships, and had no direct effect on the enemy. However, he saw that these Japanese ships were getting closer and closer!
Five cannonballs were fired at the Japanese ship that was leading the charge, and the hit rate was much higher in an instant. Three cannonballs fell on the Japanese ship, causing a raging fire, and it sank into the sea not long after!
One hit to achieve success!
Without stopping, Xia Dehai immediately picked up a second warship. The sailors on the ship adjusted the angle. After a salvo, shells all over the sky fell on the warship, and soon another warship was destroyed!
For a time, there were countless dead bodies on the sea. Countless Japanese shipwrecks and bloody corpses floated on the beautiful sea surface. The smell of blood attracted the surrounding sharks, who eagerly enjoyed this feast of human flesh!
The attitude of the Japanese is very crazy. The more fierce Liangchuan's artillery fire is, the more crazy their attack becomes. If someone attracts the cannonballs, other ships will be safe, and the time gained will bring them closer to the treasure ship!
Similarly, the closer the distance between Liangchuan and his Japanese artillery was, the higher the hit rate. They were almost accurate within 100 meters. Although the artillery fired damaged the hull, there was no way to sink the ship immediately. There were still people on board. The Japanese climbed up the tall mast, ready to make a desperate move, ready to board Liangchuan's ship to fight for their lives!
Within a hundred meters, the target can be freely selected!
The sailors looked at the enemy ships that were the greatest threat to them and were within the shooting range, and kept firing cannonballs. On the deck of the treasure ship, Luo Xian of the Management Team, his team members, and people from the intelligence team all picked up their weapons and prepared. Hand-to-hand combat!
More and more Japanese ships caught up with Liang Chuan's treasure ship. As soon as they got closer, the hook rope was immediately hung up, tightly hooking the treasure ship, and then Japanese people jumped on the treasure ship!
"Cut the ropes, blow up the enemy ships that are coming up, and let the others go first!"
Xia Dehai urgently commanded!
Liang Shiguang wielded the longbow in his hand, and aimed at the enemy on the enemy ship that was approaching him. He would kill the enemy with one arrow and show no mercy!
Whoosh whoosh, in the blink of an eye, six or seven Japanese people had an arrow planted in their throats!
The Japanese who boarded the ship relied on their prowess in water warfare, and didn't want them to face Liang Chuan's gang of desperadoes before they realized they were in the wrong place!
Liang Chuan's Mo Dao can kill a Japanese with one strike, and Sun Shubo's sword can't kill anyone. The Japanese sword in his hand is also a Japanese sword, and it can kill people more ruthlessly than these real Japanese! Then there is the closely coordinated formation of the Guanguan Brigade. Some of them are responsible for defense and others are responsible for killing. Ten people form a team. The defense is airtight. The Japanese cannot get in, but many people are killed and injured! There are also people from the intelligence team. Their long swords are not inferior to the Japanese swords. You come and I go, and the tall Khitan people kill the Japanese without leaving a piece of armor!
Yamamoto thought that his Japanese ship could quickly capture the enemy's warship if it approached the enemy's ship. However, he saw waves of men jumping onto the enemy's ship, and then corpses fell into the sea. The control is not effective at all!
Is the fighting power on the other side's ship so powerful?
The battle lasted for nearly a day. Even a ship made of iron and made of iron must have collapsed!
A sharp look flashed in Yamamoto's eyes when he saw them. They had traveled thousands of miles to pursue them, killing and injuring countless samurai. More than thirty warships were half destroyed, and they were unable to capture even one enemy ship! He didn't care whether there were any precious and powerful weapons on the ship, and loudly ordered: "Fire the oil tank!"
The Japanese couldn't believe it. They had been fighting for so long and they wanted to set fire to it? Doesn’t that mean you get nothing if you win?
Seeing that his men were still stunned, Yamamoto said angrily: "Hurry up and burn these Song pigs to death!"
Seeing that Yamamoto was determined and his men didn't have much to worry about, several long pipes were stretched out from the warship and placed on the hull of the treasure ship. Then a stream of thick black juice flowed out of the pipes and splashed onto the On the treasure ship, Xia Dehai was heartbroken when he saw it, and shouted: "Oh no, the enemy is going to set fire oil!"
This thick black juice is petroleum. The people of Song Dynasty had discovered this fuel a long time ago, but they did not really make use of it. Although they discovered its immediate use on the battlefield, they poured some kerosene under the city when they were defending the city, and lit it. You can't put out the fire until it burns out!
This kind of thing was used by the Song people on ships for defense and offense. After the Japanese captured this artifact, it was used to its maximum effect. It could not only be used when robbing merchant ships, but also used it to rob homes and houses to attack states and plunder mansions. Better! It's just that once this kerosene appears, everything will be destroyed. Unless it's time to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces, the Japanese rarely use this magical weapon!
"Quick! Get water! Wet the ship's planks!"
Once a dry deck is stained with kerosene, it will burn until it penetrates. If it is a wet deck, it will not burn so fast. Xia Dehai's method is only a temporary measure!
Black thick juice began to spray onto the hull, and then torches were thrown onto the ship. The treasure ship instantly became a fire-baked and smoky hell!
Is it really over this time?
Liang Chuan looked around and saw that he was surrounded by Japanese people and Japanese ships. At this time, they surrounded the treasure ship. They only waited for the treasure ship to burn completely. They would then get on the ship to clean up the mess. Why bother to get on the ship to fight!
Some sailors are still responsible for firing artillery, but they no longer dare to place too much ammunition on the deck. If the flames detonate the ammunition, they will not even have ashes left without the Japanese taking action!
Flame, in addition to the corpse, is the flame, and there are also a group of brothers who are also confused. At this time, they are also helpless and helpless!
"My innocence wants to kill me in this sea!" Liang Chuan let out a painful roar!
Suddenly, there was a thunderous rumble from a ship on the distant sea. Liang Chuan thought he had heard it wrong. He raised his ears and looked around. Then came the second and third sounds, and Xia Dehai's ears were shaken. When his ears were broken and he couldn't hear the ringing, Liang Chuan asked the others: "Did you... hear it?"
