Chapter Fifty-Eight: Bombardment

The centipede ship was very fast, and hundreds of banner troops shouted the trumpet and struggled to maneuver, and the seventeen string cannons on the right side suddenly blasted out one after another, bringing a huge shock to the hull.

It was as if thunder had sounded on the sea, and the cannonballs had been discharged one after another, and the terrible howling sound had just reached the ears of the sea cowards loaded with looted goods on the shore, and the rain of bullets had already been fired.

Bang!

Bang bang!

Cannonballs flew through the air, some of them burst or embedded themselves in the boards of the moored ships, and many more bombarded everywhere, either smashing the seamen loaded on the shore into a blur of flesh and blood, or causing them to run all over the ground in fright, and the utensils wrapped in the ship's cloth were scattered all over the ground.

It was still too difficult for Chen Mujun's gunners to hit the target during the rapid movement of the warship, and thanks to a small cannon like the Franc machine, the distance was close enough to maintain the dispersion in a small range, and only one round of shelling successfully cracked the plank of the Fuchuan waterline.

"Left string cannon, put!"

Chen Mu dragged the sail rope and leaned against the mast, although the back seat of the Franc machine was slightly smaller, and the simultaneous bombardment of the seventeen Franc planes on the right still brought a slight tilt to the hull of the ship, followed by the swinging left chord cannon to the pirate fortune ship that was swimming on the sea in the hope of avoiding the centipede ship.

Just as the left string of the flagship was bombarding, the second centipede ship led by Ishiki fired again at the shore with its right-string guns.

"Changer!"

Although the power of the Franc machine is small, the sub-mother gun has an advantage that other artillery cannot match in the speed of reloading, the gunner picks up the gun with the smoke and places it next to the gun to be loaded by the medicine hand, and then the gunner has proposed to install the new gun, the whole process is only a dozen breaths, and it is even faster than the bird gun to be loaded on the ship.

Chen Mu's water warfare drill was very easy, on weekdays, the small boat threw large pieces of sawmill waste into the sea in front, and the fleet traveled around the Haojing in the rear, and the line that discharged the Great Wall of the sea went around the target and bombarded it with string cannons in turn.

They have practiced the same thing more than a dozen times, and now they are familiar with naval warfare, and after two centipede ships bombarded one round, they gave up the ferry to surround the lonely fortune ship on the sea, and took advantage of the fast artillery advantage of the Francophone to launch round after round of shelling.

The pirate's ship is pitiful.

On the ship, there are more than 200 pounds of small hair cannons mounted on the bow of the ship, and on both sides are four Franc machines of different sizes of the old and new, which are one of the two big ships of the sea Kou Xu into the United States, and they are invincible in looting along the coast on weekdays, and they are fearless even if they are engaged by the officers and soldiers on the overloaded sailors, and they are considered a hegemon in the coastal areas where there is a lack of ship guns.

Last year, they followed Zeng Yi to attack the Chaozhou Mansion, and even if they met Yu Dayou's sailors, they were not defeated, and they fought an equal situation with the official army, not to mention the artillery battle.

The best gunners in all of Asia in this era are on pirate ships!

When were they pressed and beaten until they wanted to escape?

Never!

But what is this now?

Two centipede ships with thirty-four Franc machines in the bow of the ship circled around their ship, no matter how good the gunners were, it would take a long time for the first shot of the ship to be reloaded, and this was still the situation where they could change ammunition, in fact, could they?

Before a shot was fired, the shells of the Franc machine in the sky bombarded back and forth, and the gunner's head of the charge was directly smashed to pieces, and the four Franc machines were charged quickly, but the side of the ship was smashed and a cannon slipped directly into the sea, and the charge was used as soon as it was used!

This naval battle made Xu Jinmei's subordinates understand a truth before they died, and they had been using the Franc machine wrongly.

In the past, the old monster, the power of the Franc machine was too small, and it couldn't damage the shipboard at all against a cannon like the bombardment of the official army and the Fu ship, at most it would make people leak a little water, which was useless.

Now they understand that Franc is beating.

The battle has not yet been fought, and the two centipede ships have bombarded two rounds around the Fu boat, and it is difficult to see the people standing on the ship, and they are not in the same order of magnitude at all...... Isn't it more uncomfortable when people die and the ship doesn't sink?

Approaching the Banner Army, the last living people were also killed, and an old fortune ship full of holes was captured.

"Put the anchor down and let it float, and get on the boat first to clean up Xu Jinmei!"

Chen Mu was so angry that he was itching at all, and the bombardment couldn't calm the anger in his heart at all, Xu Jinmei didn't hit Xiangshan first.

I just told many merchants that after paying taxes, this land is protected by the Ming Dynasty, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Jinmei gathered thousands of Japanese robbers to come over and burn and loot - this is a slap in the face.

What's more important is that he knows what Xu Jinmei is doing here, he is not here to rob things, this bastard is here to kill him.

Revenge on his younger brother named Lao Mi.

"Brother on the surface." Chen Mu muttered disdainfully, waved his hand and ordered the flag army waving the flag: "Two more rounds of string cannons, go ashore and slaughter those bastards!" ”

Hatred must be really unforgettable, Xiangshan is so chaotic that he can send a dozen black-hearted swordsmen to land on the wild beach at night in a small boat, and no matter how closely his flag army patrols are, it may not be able to stop it.

Do you have to wait until now to grab the mirror and then go to find yourself?

This bastard came here for revenge, but more often than not, to loot and make money.

I've found the wrong place to go wild!

The centipede ship circled around the sea near the port, and poured all the remaining three guns of the 68 Franc machines on the chaotic Haojing Ao, and then anchored at the ferry, and the flag army rushed up to Haojing along the long causeway full of holes, and saw a large area of connected artillery fire exploding on the Guia Mountain, and the cannonballs flew over the heads of the Japanese invaders, and the large iron bullets ploughed out deep ditches in the land one after another.

The pirates, whose morale had already been hit by the defeat of the warship, were even more frightened, and then Chen Mu's army attacked from south to north, and they scattered and fled in the discussion square.

Even Xu Jinmei didn't have the sharpness of Fang Cai, and it was unimaginable that Chen Mu of Xiangshan Qianhu had thousands of well-trained flag troops in his hands, and where could he have thought that they actually had two centipede ships loaded with more than 30 cannons?

The tide is over.

Not to mention the Chen Mubu banner army that came in array with bird guns mixed with rocket explosions, even if Chen Mu did not lead the army to land, the Japanese who were bombarded by the artillery of Lao Duolu of the artillery factory would not be enough to deal with the impact of Deng Zilong.

It doesn't matter if it was Pereira hiding in the city hall or the Francos in the church and shop, they all rushed out, and they were beaten in groups of three or five, and almost at the same time that Chen Mu landed in Haojing, this battle entered the final rout stage.

Xu Jinmei looked at the defeated subordinates scattered in all directions, stood in the center of the discussion square and smiled miserably, holding a sword as if ignoring the banner army coming in array.

"Xu Jinmei?"

He heard someone in the military formation shouting his name, and as if he had sensed it, he raised his sword and his face became hideous, and then his figure must have looked down at the bloody hole in his chest.

Chen Mu casually threw Guan Gong to the entourage with the charge, tilted his head and muttered.

"Kill me?"
