Xu Jin gave an order, and the drums and horns rang out in unison, and in the sound of war drums like a torrential rain, the Daming Navy Division immediately divided into two ways and pressed towards Osumi Island, but seeing that the hunting sails were like clouds, the cold murderous aura rushed straight into the sky.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Three or four miles away, the fort on the island took the lead in firing with a long range, and the shells whistled and flew towards the formation of the Daming Naval Division, blowing up the water column on the sea surface, and a bow Cangshan ship was hit at the stern, and suddenly the broken wood flew sideways, and a large piece of the ship's string was cut off, and the casualties were unknown.

"Fuck it, it's hit, we're hit!"

"Into his grandma, in the middle of the day, one more shot, haha!"

The rebels around the fort cheered loudly and high-fived each other triumphantly, these guys were all pirates, full of foul language, angry and scolded their mother, happy and happy, and excited and scolded their mother.

Mao Haifeng waved his fist excitedly and shouted: "Good fight, brothers work harder, take advantage of the distance to do two more shots, let the Ming army go to the sea to be the king." ”

The rebels cheered in unison and reloaded their ammunition with great energy.

Mao Haifeng knew that the artillery on the ship of the Daming Naval Division was a Franc machine gun, which was a reloader, although the rate of fire was fast, but the firing range was only about one mile, and the range of the land-based artillery on the island could reach four miles away, so before the Daming Naval Division opened fire, it was enough for the land-based artillery on the island to be fired twice, or even three times.

However, at this moment, there was an earth-shattering noise on the sea-boom, but seeing a column of smoke rising from a six-masted giant ship, followed by a piercing scream, Mao Haifeng's complexion changed greatly, and he subconsciously covered his ears and quickly fell down.

I saw a stream of fire dragging a long flame tail down from the sky, accurately hitting a fort on the island, but when I heard a loud bang, it seemed like a landslide cracked, and the masonry fort was torn apart on the spot, and the barrel of a cannon weighing several kilograms flew up several meters high, and fell down with a bang, smashing several rebels to pieces.

Quiescence! Deathly silence!!

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds before a group of rebels, including Mao Haifeng, cautiously got up, their eyes fell on the fort, and they all gasped.

Oh my God, the sturdy fort was completely unrepresented, the gun carriage was torn apart, the barrel flew out several feet away, the rebels on the fort were even more miserable, the dead on the spot were happy, the flesh and blood of the undead were blurred, the broken hands and feet were unrecognizable, and one of them even blew up the lower half of the body, and the intestines flowed all over the ground and did not stop breathing, it was better to live than to die!

Mao Haifeng was terrified, raised his eyes and looked at the sea, because the rising smoke had not yet dissipated, so he could confirm which bow battleship fired the cannon just now, and the visual distance was about five or six miles, and the range was too terrifying.

Mao Haifeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, it was obvious that the Ming army had loaded heavy artillery on the ship, with such a long range and such a powerful power, this heavy artillery had tens of thousands of catties, not to mention tens of thousands of catties, it was strange that it was so accurate, could it be a big luck?

At this time, on the six-masted giant ship on the sea, Xie Sangun patted the shoulder of the main gunner Huang Cang and praised: "Xiao Huang, well done, General Ben has given you a credit." ”

"Thank you, General Xie." Several gunners said happily.

Xie Sangun laughed, stretched out his hand and touched the giant cannon beside him, and exclaimed: "It's really a good cannon, according to me, this cannon should be called the Shenwei Invincible Thunderbolt Cannon, the Hongyi cannon doesn't sound majestic at all, and the level of the handsome's name is not more than Erer, haha!" ”

Several gunners just laughed and didn't dare to answer, Xie Sangun was the handsome's brother-in-law, and he had the courage to make a joke about the handsome, but they didn't dare, and they felt that a wise and martial figure like Dashuai must have a reason to name this giant cannon Hongyi Cannon!

In fact, the Hongyi cannon was introduced from the West in the late Ming Dynasty, Hongyi is the meaning of Hongmaoyang, Hongyi cannon is a kind of front-loading smoothbore cannon, the barrel is long, the wall of the gun is thick, the caliber is large, the overall shape is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, in line with the principle of high to low chamber pressure when gunpowder burns, the firing range can range from five miles to more than ten miles, and the two sides of the Hongyi cannon are designed with cylindrical ears, which can freely adjust the angle of fire, and are also equipped with a front sight and a light door, and the shooting accuracy is very high.

The length of the general ship-borne Hongyi cannon is about three meters, the weight is more than 10,000 catties, and the range of the shell is five or six miles if the shell is made of large lead, and the small lead can reach more than ten miles.

The range of the Ming Dynasty's general cannon can also reach five or six miles, but the design is not so ingenious, and the weight is several times that of the Hongyi cannon, which is extremely inconvenient for the ship. As early as two years ago, Xu Jin drew the drawings of the Hongyi cannon and asked the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau to develop it, and after more than two years of hard work by many craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau, the shipboard Hongyi cannon was finally built.

This time the Ming army sent troops to quell the rebellion, and the Ming army sailors carried ten Hongyi cannons, not that Xu Jin didn't want to bring more, but it was really that this thing was too heavy, a weight of more than 10,000 catties, a huge ship with a bow and six masts could be deployed. In addition, this thing is only used for attacking fortifications and deterring, and it is useless to bring more, it will only affect the capacity of the fleet, in fact, the rest of the firepower of the Ming army's naval division is enough to sweep through the Japanese country.

Rumble......

There was another earth-shattering bang, and the Hongyi cannon on the other giant ship of the Ming Army's naval division also became powerful, and in the piercing scream, the fireball fell on Osumi Island, blowing up the waves!

Boom Boom Boom ......

Under the cover of terrifying artillery fire, the Ming naval division launched a fierce attack on Osumi Island from the north and south, and the rebels on the island were estimated to be frightened stupidly, until the two Ming naval divisions approached, and the rebel naval division in the port hurriedly raised their sails and sailed out of the port to meet the battle.

At this time, the Ming fleet's Franc machine guns were powerful, and the artillery fire poured down on the rebel fleet and the fortifications on the island, but seeing the artillery fire in the sky, the gunfire was like bursting beans!

The rebel fleet also had Franc cannons, but the number was not comparable to that of the Ming army, and many ships were scrapped in the harbor before the battle formation could be launched in a hurry.

"General, the artillery fire of the Ming army is too fierce, everyone can't resist it, hurry up and retreat, it's too late if you don't withdraw!" Mao Haifeng's personal guard leader anxiously persuaded.

Mao Haifeng looked at the fleet that had collapsed, and the fortifications that had been completely plowed over, his heart was dripping blood, his courage was trembling, and his unwillingness was intertwined with horror.

Osumi Island is the base of Wang Zhi's father and son, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in the construction, so give up, how can Mao Feng be willing, but if he doesn't give up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save his life, the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce, more than several times more fierce than imagined, and the firearms are obviously more advanced.

Mao Haifeng never dreamed that the fortress he had spent a lot of effort and time to build would be so vulnerable in front of the Ming army, and in an instant, a terrifying shadow enveloped his heart, and he even had a trace of regret!

Rumble......

A heavy artillery shot at a centipede ship in the harbor, and the whole bow disintegrated on the spot, and the rebels on board were killed and wounded!

Mao Haifeng's eyebrows jumped, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”
