Chapter 530: Franc Cannon
How so?
The blue snake looked at the flying cannonball, and immediately cooled to the bottom of his feet. If it was shot from the sea, he would still be able to accept it, but it was on the hill to the northwest.
Obviously, the other side has been on guard for a long time, and has secretly arranged artillery here, just waiting for them to stupidly "throw themselves into the net".
"How do they have cannons! How can there be a cannon? ”
The seven gang leaders were also awakened by the sound of cannonballs, and at this time, they saw that the camp was constantly smashed in by shells, the roof was smashed to pieces, and some subordinates were smashed to pieces.
In their expectations, the Blue Flag Gang was a sure winner, and they just came to cheer and get a piece of the pie. But now the soup has not been distributed, but it has caused a commotion.
"Now is not the time to talk about this! Hurry up and rush up with your men to stop them from firing any more! ”
The blue snake also has a hundred thousand whys in his heart, but the facts are already in front of him, and people have already bombarded them. Now the top priority is to rush forward and grab the artillery, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
He had previously despised that the other party was made up of four forces, and it was extremely easy to get into infighting, but in fact, the situation on his side was even worse. They are composed of eight forces, and if the war can be smooth sailing, it is fine, but once they encounter difficulties, they are very likely to become a basin of scattered sand.
However, the current situation is not so bad, as long as they can stabilize their position, the victory will still be theirs. After all, they have the advantage of numbers, but they can immediately attack, rush up the hill and seize those artillery, so as to turn the passive into the active.
"Reload, ignite, release!"
On that hill, four gunners followed the orders of the general flag. After completing the last procedure, they covered their ears and shrank next to the barrels, and the shells landed in the opponent's camp in a parabolic trajectory.
Due to the season, the leaves of the coconut groves dry up a lot, so they have a good view. When the shells landed in the enemy's line, their ears roared, but they could see the wailing figures on the ground.
These four Franc cannons are made of bronze, and the cannons are like works of art, but at the moment they are big killers, harvesting the lives of those pirates. One of them weighs as much as a thousand pounds and looks majestic.
Lin Haoran stood in front of the Franco's cannon, looking at the coconut grove in the distance and the effect of the cannonballs falling down one by one. It's just that no matter what the effect is, his face is slightly constricted, and he quietly witnesses all this.
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!
When he was sure that he would not be able to take Jinzhou Island in the short term, he had already taken precautions and asked for these four Franc cannons from Shendianwei.
It is said that in the first year of Jiajing, He Ru, who was then the inspector of Guangdong, saw a new type of artillery with a range of several hundred meters on Spanish and Portuguese merchant ships anchored here.
In the same way, he was the court and came up with the idea of imitating this artillery.
After the Ming Dynasty got its production method, it was imitated in Nanjing. The first batch of 32 Franc cannons was born in the third year of Jiajing, named Franc cannons, and then equipped into the Ming army.
Lin Haoran secretly hid these four Franc machine guns in this mountain, and since the muzzles of the guns were facing his own camp, this matter naturally had to be kept strictly secret. This was supposed to be a countermeasure, and it could only take effect on the premise that the salt works were taken away, but I never thought that it would really be a great success today.
Seeing that the pirates below had begun to assemble, he knew that the other party would definitely not be able to sit still and fight back against them. Although the real war was about to begin, he was not too afraid, and his heart had gradually learned how to get rid of it.
"Scatter, ignite, fire!"
When he saw the group of pirates coming towards the hill on this side, the cannonball commander of the Bag was calm and directed the gunners to shoot.
Four shells flew towards the enemy line, and although two were far away, two fell in the middle of the enemy line.
Lin Haoran clearly watched a cannonball falling in the crowd, and the iron that burst out made a large piece fall there, which was really creepy.
But he also understands that this is war. If the pirate group led by the Blue Flag Gang is not wiped out today, then his side will suffer, and the war has always been "either you die or I die".
The other party seemed to have the same idea, and although the loss was not small, they still came towards this small hill together.
Kill!
Wu Haosan led dozens of people to rush up, willing to be the vanguard of the Blue Flag Gang.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
More than 20 birds, which had already been lurking, fired in unison, and the bullets fired towards the enemy formation, and a small piece fell immediately.
"!"
Wu Haosan looked at his fallen subordinates and scolded angrily. It's just that I don't know if he scolds his subordinates for not being angry, or scolds the other party for not paying attention to it, this is a gun and a cannon, and he is obviously bullying people.
Kill!
Hai Batian and Lin Dahu were on the left and on the right, and with their subordinates, they were killing the enemy again. When Wu Haosan was going to attack in one go, even if he was attacked from three sides, he invaded the great passivity.
"Reload, ignite, release!"
After adjusting the muzzles, the four bronze Franc cannons fired again at the middle of the enemy formation, immediately causing the enemy to be cut in half, and the end and end could not be connected.
Burst!
Lin Dahu and Hai Batian were undoubtedly brave generals, they took the lead, wielding big swords and fighting with Wu Haotian's subordinates.
Now that Lin Haoran is in charge, and nearly 100 Leizhou guards have been brought in, they have the backbone and confidence. In the face of the eight pirate gangs that were assembled, they were not afraid at all, not to mention that they were supported by the Franco's machine gun later.
"Blue Snake, fuck, you want my family to stay here!"
Wu Haosan and his people finally rushed up the mountainside, but they were greeted by bullets scattered, and then hit left and right. What he hated the most was that the two groups of pirates in the back saw that the situation was not right, and they actually fled first.
"Big boss, what are we going to do now?" One of his subordinates saw that the person behind him had run away, and hurriedly ran over and asked.
"What else can I do? Remove! Wu Haotian looked at the people who were constantly being killed, and said decisively.
He also knew very well in his heart that if all his subordinates were lost here. Even if they achieve the final victory, this salt field has nothing to do with him, and even his life has to be harvested by others.
In this world of pirates, strength has always spoken, and without strength, how can you expect to share the fruits of victory.
Burst!
But at this time, the pirate leader who had just retreated was cut off by the blue snake, and his blood-stained face looked at Wu Haosan and ordered hideously: "Can't retreat!" We rushed up together, and they didn't have as many people as we did! ”
