Goryeo, off the coast of Jeolla Province, Chuja Island.

Ye Gong's magic gun was invented by Ye Mengxiong, Minister of Industry of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. The gun body was made of pure iron and was divided into three types: heaven, earth and xuan. The Tianzihao magic gun weighs 336 kilograms, is three feet and five inches long, and fires seven kilograms of shells; the Dizihao magic gun weighs 240 kilograms, is three feet and two inches long, and fires six kilograms of shells; The brand name Shengun weighs 180 kilograms, is three feet and one inch long, and fires five kilograms of shells. The three types of magic guns can all reach a range of five to seven miles. Each cannon has a three-wheeled gun carriage. There are two wheels in the front, the wheel height is two feet and five inches, and there is one wheel in the back, the wheel height is one foot and three inches. The gun barrel has multiple iron hoops, which looks a bit like a bamboo knot, so it is also called Bamboo cannon.

"Push those two large Folang machines over here, and while the ground cannons are being reloaded, let them continue to suppress the enemy ships!"

On the Cangshan ship, the combat command has fallen into Kang Lin's hands! After all, Yue Heli was just a head craftsman. He might be good at manufacturing and testing artillery, but he would be somewhat incapable of commanding a naval battle! Fortunately, Governor Kang Lin and Kang Da were on board the ship at the moment, so the former handed over the command to this guy. After all, no matter how novice this guy is, no matter how inexperienced he is, he still knows more about military affairs than Yue Heli. With the command in his hands, it may be difficult to capture the Goryeo Panwu Ship unscathed, but if you just want to win, the problem is not too big. No matter what you say, this guy has fought dozens of battles with Japanese pirates, natives, and Koreans, and he still has the most basic command ability. Therefore, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes in principle, it is only a matter of time before he defeats or even sinks the enemy ship!

"화살발사, 로켓준비, 우리는적선에접근할때까지기다렸다가돌진하여그들과가까워졌다 (gun arrow launch, rocket preparation, Let’s wait until we get close to the enemy ship, then rush forward and fight them hand-to-hand)!”

There were cannons flying all around, constantly passing over our own warships. The Korean officers on the wooden house ship couldn't help but be surprised and frightened! What surprised me was that a small boat on the other side, which was smaller than our own cabin boat, actually had so many artillery guns hidden in it. What I was afraid of was that the enemy's artillery fire was so dense. When we got closer, we saw that there were only five or six guns on the boat. There are big and small artillery pieces, but the shells hit our own ships like hail! At the moment, although only two or three cannons hit our own ship, as the distance between the two sides continues to shrink, the opponent's hit rate is also constantly improving! The Goryeo officer has absolutely reason to believe that if he does not take any effective counterattack next, then his side may really be abandoned here today! So, he nodded to the navy soldier squatting next to the gun barrel! The next moment, those Korean soldiers wearing black and white military uniforms and small round hats aimed their Xuan-shaped and yellow-shaped blunderbuss equipped with four-wheeled artillery carts at the approaching enemy ships!

"Folangji, Folangji aims at the artillery on the wooden house ship, and fires a round of rapid fire first!"

Through the brass telescope in his hand, Conlin quickly paid attention to the situation here! Frightened and angry, this guy immediately issued an order to fire three volleys at the Fo Lang machine gun crew, and their target was those Korean cannons that were still adjusting their firing angles! Others don't know the power of these blunderbuss that shoot large arrows, but he, Kang Lin, has a good reputation! Those lighter guns and arrows weighed six or seven kilograms, and the heavier ones even weighed about fifty kilograms. They had a huge damage effect on Japanese and Chinese sailboats whose shipboards were not thick and whose protective capabilities were worrisome. Therefore, this guy must destroy all the Korean guns, large and small, before they launch the guns and arrows. Otherwise, when they launch heavy arrows, their Cangshan ship will be in serious trouble. It should be noted that the Cangshan ship newly built by Chiyang has a thickness of no more than three inches. It has no big problem in dealing with arrows, lead bullets and even small artillery shells projected by the enemy. However, this does not include the use of Goryeo gun barrels. The heavy guns and arrows came out! If that thing directly hits the waterline, even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned European-style Galen boat will be in trouble with Northwest, let alone the thin-skinned and big-stuffed Cangshan boat!

"어서, 빨리발사해, 적의화포는이미우리쪽을겨냥해, 우리가더이상발사하지않으면발사할기회가 없어 (Hurry up, fire quickly, the enemy’s artillery is already aimed at us, if we don’t fire it again There will be no chance to launch)..."

Upstairs in the control room of the wooden house ship, the Korean officer saw the longing figures on the enemy ship. He was busy and seemed to be about to fire on his own ship again. In fear, he immediately took three steps and then two steps, and jumped to the side of the musket that was ready to go. , snatched it away

The navy soldier took the torch in his hand and slammed it into the blunderbuss fire door! So the next moment, accompanied by the sound of gunpowder exploding, several long blunderbuss arrows, carrying the power of gold and cracking rocks, roared towards the Cangshan ship where Kang Lin and others were! When the latter saw that the situation was not good, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "Hey, darling, this thing is so loud. The explosion and the sound of breaking through the air. If nothing else, just hearing the sound will make people shudder. If you are really blown away by it." If hit, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"The oarsmen on the left and right sides will speed up the oars. Yue Heli, you instruct the apprentices to prepare for repairs..."

Seeing that the heavy guns and arrows, driven by black gunpowder, kept approaching our own ships! Kang Lin immediately ordered the men in the rowing cabin to speed up the oars in an attempt to avoid the fatal blow. At the same time, Yue Heli was also asked by this guy to organize a team of apprentices to go to the rowing cabin and stand by in the bottom cabin. As long as the heavy-duty Once the muskets and arrows break and damage the ship's deck, damage control operations will be immediately carried out to try to slow down the speed of the ship taking on water and sinking! He didn't want his first self-built ship to suffer any damage when it was put into actual combat for the first time. If possible, he also hoped to win without blood!

"Plop, plop, plop..."

Due to the prompt response of the Kang Lin ship, coupled with the poor accuracy of the Korean gun barrel. Therefore, the Cangshan ship with sails and oars narrowly avoided the attack of Goryeo's guns and arrows! Next, it was the turn of the Chiyang Mosquito gunboat to show off its power. Leaving aside the Ye Gong Shengun, which fired six kilograms of shells, the two large Folang machines equipped on the former ship were also among the gunners at this moment. With great efforts, the craftsmen and apprentices who were veterans fired solid one-pound cannonballs at a frequency of one shell every ten breaths. Everyone aimed, loaded, shot, aimed again, loaded again, and shot again. At lightning speed, metal projectiles were continuously poured onto the wooden house and boat, hitting the Korean navy so hard that they didn't even dare to raise their heads!

"Are you ready with the ground-shaped gun? When you are ready, aim at the enemy ship's gun barrel and shoot. Be sure to disrupt their steps and prevent them from shooting even one heavy gun arrow..."

The Cangshan ship only used two large Folang machines to maintain an uninterrupted firing frequency. But their opponents, the Koryo navy on the wooden house boats, were not so relaxed at the moment. Not only did they have to endure a pound of French machine shells fired from above their heads, sides, and front, they also had to work hard to move the muskets and aim at the enemy ships. Prepare to wait for an opportunity to fire muskets and arrows to fight back! During this period, Goryeo naval forces were constantly being hit or knocked down by flying projectiles. Even one of the gun barrels on the side of the ship was knocked upside down by the stone bullets fired by the Fo Lang machine! Yes, that's right, stone bullets, cannonballs made of stone! Previously, Chiyang lived in a corner and lacked various craftsmen under his command, so he was unable to mass-produce such cheap and highly lethal artillery shells. He could only bite the bullet and use expensive lead-iron artillery shells; now, Kang Lin has commanded the army. Occupying most of Jeju Island, although there is still a shortage of craftsmen under his command, it is not as scarce as before, especially when this guy opened the treasure chest and opened a large amount of Portland cement. This thing is packed with wooden molds and dried. After it is revealed, it is a hard cement cannonball! Therefore, under Kang Lin's strict orders, some of Chiyang's artillery have been replaced with cement shells. After all, this thing is much cheaper than lead-iron artillery shells, and you won’t feel bad if you use it too much in a war. It is most suitable for grassroots forces like Chiyang to use!

"어서, 빨리피하자, 적의포탄이왔다 (Hurry, dodge quickly, the enemy's shells are coming)!"

Seeing the thick smoke and orange flames erupting from the slender barrel of the Fo Lang machine gun on the other side's ship, the Korean officer couldn't help but burst into tears! It was not that he had never seen the power of the Folang machine, but he did not expect that the enemy's artillery could be so powerful. Not to mention the fast rate of fire, the key was that the shells were more powerful! Powered by black gunpowder, this kind of cement shell can not only easily fly a distance of two to three hundred steps, hit or damage the side of a wooden house boat, but can also break into fragments of different sizes, effectively killing the enemy. Resistance on the deck of the ship! Therefore, after seeing the flames flashing on the enemy ship, the Goryeo officer immediately issued an order to avoid the sailors under his command. He did not want his subordinates to suffer heavy casualties under the continuous bombardment of shells, which would lead to In the next gang-hopping battle, we have no soldiers available!

"Sir, the ground gun is ready, shall we fire it immediately to attack the enemy ship?"

On the Cangshan ship, the two large Folang machines had fired twelve muskets, and the holes on the deck

Guns also piled up into a small mountain without realizing it! Next, it was the turn of Ye Gong's divine gun, Dizi Gun, which fired six kilograms of shells, to speak! Since the distance between the two sides has been successfully shortened to more than a hundred steps, the accuracy of the ground gun is much better than before! At least, the two roaring concrete cannonballs did not follow the footsteps of their predecessors and fall into the vast sea. Instead, they hit the deck of the wooden house boat very accurately, and forcibly dug out two shocking pieces of flesh and blood on it. In the alley, five or six Goryeo navy troops, who drew their horned bows and prepared to fire magical arrows, were ruthlessly torn into parts by cannonballs in an instant. When the other Koryo navy troops saw that the situation was not good, they finally could no longer bear the energy and tension. The double blow to the body collapsed!
