Goryeo, Jeju Strait.
The Brown Bess flintlock carbine has a caliber of 17.3 mm, a gun length of 1.2 meters, a gun weight of 4.6 kilograms, and a projectile weight of 21.3 grams. Under windless conditions, the limited range can reach 200 meters, which is ten The primary weapon of the British lobstermen of the sixth and even early seventeenth centuries.
Following the roar of the second gun mate of the old lock ship "Shaxi Lishan", twenty-four fully armed fusiliers lined up in three rows and all leveled their brown bass flintlock carbines in their hands. The muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at the enemy sailor who was about to make a move a hundred steps away! They are well-trained Chiyang regular flag troops, elite warriors who emerged from the sea of blood on the battlefields of Goryeo. Without orders from officials, they will not shoot indiscriminately even if arrows or lead bullets fall on them!
But at this time, they had received an order to fire from the temporary commander, the second gunnery officer of the old lock ship "Shaxi Lishan"! So, following the violent roars of their respective corps commanders and armor commanders, the eight fusiliers in the first row did not hesitate to pull the trigger of the Brown Bess flintlock carbine in their hands! Next, before the acrid smoke dissipated, the fusiliers in the second and third rows stepped forward one after another with their rifles in their hands, completing the task of shooting in turn!
Finally, when they all finished firing and retreated to reload, the first row of fusiliers came to the back of the bulwark with the brown bass fusiliers in their hands, ready to fire again! The whole process seemed very methodical, and the results were good. Three rounds of volleys miraculously hit two unlucky guys who were caught off guard at a distance of a hundred meters! One guy had a big hole in his open chest with a lead bullet weighing four cents, and he fell directly on the deck with no idea of his life or death. The other guy was a little better, just being scratched on the arm by a lead bullet, and he was cut with a rag. Sure, I can grit my teeth and continue fighting...
To be honest, although it seems a bit shameful that twenty rounds of lead bullets only achieved two results, this was the fifteenth century. Without the blessing of rifling, the flintlock muzzle-loading musket could be used in the swaying old gate. On the ship, hitting an object the size of a human body from a distance of a hundred meters is already pretty good. If it weren't for the twenty-four flintlock rifles taking turns to fire, the Chiyang regular flag army would probably not be able to catch a single hair. Not to mention getting two results!
"Fusiliers, continue to shoot at the enemy ships. Be sure to keep those jumping sailors fifty steps away from advancing. As for the half-snake gun battery, after you have finished loading, you will start to shoot at the enemy ships. Suppress, you must try your best to attack the waterline of the enemy ship! One shot, even if only one ten-pound cannonball can hit the weak waterline of the enemy ship, we can make those extremely arrogant bastards completely lose their combat effectiveness! How about it? , did you hear everything clearly?"
Kill him while he's sick! The second gunnery mate of the Chiyang old lock ship "Shaxi Lishan" was a complete pirate leader before he joined the ship as a navy officer, so he knew very well the weaknesses of the lucky ship! He knew very well that since the latter had watertight compartments built inside, ordinary attacks could not damage or sink them in a short time. Only attacking the waterline of the Fu Ship could truly threaten them! So, following this guy's order, the four twelve-and-a-half-pound snake guns on the starboard side of the old lock ship immediately began to adjust the shooting angle and direction, preparing to mark the waterline of the enemy ship! Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they can't hit for a while, the Chiyang artillerymen have to scare those extremely arrogant Akito pirates!
"Slightly adjust the cannon to the right, and add a skid underneath. Okay, that's it. Let's try firing a cannon first..."
Having received the order from their superiors, the gunners of the four and a half snake gun teams immediately got busy. Under their command, the remaining gun crew members continued to adjust the twelve and a half pound snake gun assigned to them! This thing is much more powerful than the Ye Gong Divine Gun they used to equip. Not to mention the simple operation steps, it is also very powerful! At the same time, the weight is also very impressive. The gun body weighs more than 2,000 kilograms and weighs a ton. Without the help of the artillery slide rails and rope traction, as well as the help of six or seven strong young men, the artillery team with only four people would still be able to I really can’t serve this powerful man!
Fortunately, after learning about the incident, the wise and wise Chiyang executives doubled the number of reserve gunners for the old lock ship! Therefore, as the gunner continued to yell, seven or eight team members began to adjust the artillery in front of them. They moved the gun body, moved the gun body, and put wooden blocks under the gun body. One by one, they were busy. It was so painful that my legs were soft and my feet were soft. It took me more than ten breaths of time to do it.
All preparations before launch! The next moment, as the red-hot iron touched the fire door lightly, the artillery weighing more than two thousand kilograms instantly retreated hard with strong inertia! And from the black muzzle, thick smoke, orange fire, and four spherical cannonballs as big as a fist also spewed out!
"Kala, kara!"
The muzzle velocity of the twelve-pound forward-loading smoothbore cannon is 450 meters per second. Therefore, when the dull sound of artillery sounded over the battlefield, the four heavy and powerful spherical shells had already carried the power of the cave gold cracking stone. After flying over this short distance of a hundred meters, he appeared around the lucky boat! The next moment, accompanied by the heart-wrenching sound of wood cracking, three ten-pound cannonballs easily tore through the thin shipboard of the Fuchuan, and then jumped all the way, forcibly wading out on the not spacious deck. An alley of flesh and blood! All people or objects standing in front of them will be ruthlessly crushed and knocked over by them! It wasn't until all the kinetic energy was exhausted that he lay quietly in the corner of the deck!
"The enemy's artillery is fierce. We are no match for them. Quickly order the men to blow the horns and conches. Let's retreat. Retreat quickly!"
In the first round of confrontation, the flagship battery of the Fu Chuan formation was hit by two shots, while the Chiyang two-ship formation missed one shot. In the second round of confrontation, one sailor of the Fu Chuan formation was killed and another was injured, while the Chiyang two-ship formation was unscathed. In the third round of confrontation, the flagship of the Fuchuan formation was hit twice more, killing and injuring many sailors on the deck, but it still could not harm the two-ship formation at all...
Seeing that the musketeers on the enemy ship raised the weird blunderbuss again, at the same time, the plagued gunners were also busy loading the artillery! Knowing that his side had no chance of winning, the leader of the Fuchuan pirates immediately ordered his subordinates to blow the conch horn to notify the other three Fuchuan pirates to start retreating. He himself quickly ran to the starboard side of the Fuchuan, preparing to control the pirate ship himself. The killer weapons, two Ye Gong magic guns traded from the army, cut off the main force of the fleet!
That's right, until now, the leader of the Fuchuan Pirates is not willing to use Ye Gong's magic gun, which has long been regarded as an outdated weapon by the Chiyang-Navy Army, to fight back! You know, not every pirate force can be like Chiyang and have the strength to use half-snake guns and eagle guns as the main battle weapons on the ship! Ordinary pirate ships can have large-mouthed blunderbuss, and the equipment of the Folan machine is considered to be the best in the industry. If you can get one or two Ye Gong magic blunderbuss to use as a house-killing artifact, Heifer will take the big one - it will be so awesome. Got it! After all, Emperor Sizong Jingyan of the Ming Dynasty was still on the throne at this time, and the camp system had not yet been completely corrupted. It was still reasonable to secretly trade three or five artillery pieces. It would be simply appalling for someone like Chiyang to buy a large number of old artillery pieces from the former. The East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, which has powerful hands and eyes, mediates and pulls the strings on its behalf. Even the commander-in-chief of the Zhujiawan camp would not dare to act like this even if he had the courage! You are really a court eagle, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are all working for you. Today you dare to sell the country's important weapons to others. Tomorrow they dare to rush into your home and take you into custody, and then wait for the emperor and all the elders to deal with it. ! Therefore, despite all the efforts of the pirate leader of the Fortune Ship, he only managed to obtain seven or eight Ye Gong Divine Cannons from the officers and soldiers as the ship's main cannon. How could he be willing to take them out and use them easily! It should be noted that large-caliber, long-barreled artillery is not only difficult to produce, but also the matching gunpowder and lead bullets. Basically, it can be said that one shot is missed, and the Fukufune Pirates obviously did not produce it. The ability of the former! Therefore, it is generally not easy to take it out for use unless it is absolutely necessary!
But at this time, it is obvious that it has reached the final moment of life and death! Therefore, under the command of the pirate leader, seven or eight pirate sailors wearing tattered clothes immediately opened the oilcloth on Ye Gong's magic gun, and then moved the usually carefully maintained cannon to the starboard side of the ship and placed it! Next, they will use the two long-barreled artillery guns with the largest caliber in the fleet to bombard the deck of the enemy ship, and eliminate all the enemy sailor gunners who are constantly firing lead bullets and cannonballs! So soon, accompanied by the rumbling sound of cannons and the rising smoke, two Ye Gong Shengun Tianzi Guns filled with shotguns spit out toward the sea area where the old lock ship "Shaxi Lishan" was located. Hundreds of hot lead bullets and stones!
"Attention, the enemy ship is firing canisters. Everyone, please quickly pull up the broadsides to resist! Fusiliers, tiger squat gunners, wait until the enemy has finished firing, then give them a wave of buckshot and canisters! Remember, don't panic. , Don’t shake your hands, and give priority to the enemy gunners who control the artillery..." Z.br>
Facing the lead bullets and stones that hit our old lock ship like a storm, the old lock of "Shaxi Lishan"
The ship's second gunnery mate not only stood still, but the look on his face didn't even change at all! He is a veteran pirate and has so much experience in battles, how could he be frightened by such a small scene? Next, in line with the idea of not being disrespectful in return, this guy immediately commanded dozens of musketeers under his command to raise their brown Bess flintlock rifles and fire a wave of heavy and dense lead bullets at the deck of the enemy ship. By the way, There is also the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Chiyang's Tiger Crouching Cannon is not the 36-pound small cannon equipped by the Qi family army, but the 72-pound or 108-pound medium-sized cannon specially built by the craftsmen to adapt to naval battles. Artillery, when loaded, can instantly eject hundreds of large and small lead bullets driven by high-quality black powder! Therefore, after seeing that the volley of gunfire caused a lot of casualties to the sailors on the other ship, the second gunnery officer immediately ordered the four large tiger squatting guns attached to the old lock ship to target the enemy ship with a wave of shotgun attacks. !
