"Fire! Fire! Kill all the dogs! Zhang Huangyan's former Tong Yang Guanyu stood on a sixth-level privateer, dancing excitedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The twelve-year-old boy was now a nineteen-year-old boy, and now his identity is no longer a scholar, but an officer, and under the training of Luo Zimu and others, he has also learned martial arts. But he was as excited as a child back then when he saw that the Qing army's fire attack ships were constantly ignited by cannonballs, and the boats were swept away by the shrapnel in bursts of blood mist.

Dozens of small boats of the Ming army approached the small boats of the Qing army, and these small boats were not the small boats of the Zhejiang army, but the small boats of the marines of Emperor Hu Dedi. This kind of boat is also a pedal type of small vehicle boat, in fact, it is a kind of rod mine boat that has removed the rod mine, the speed is quite fast, there are movable wooden baffles on both sides of the boat, after standing up, it can not only shield the feather arrows and projectiles, but also can prevent the river from splashing into the cabin, affecting the play of firearms.

The Marines were not only armed with rifled guns, but also heavily equipped rifled guns with expensive silk paraffin wax including bullets, the use of which greatly increased the rate of fire of rifled guns.

It is easy to turn a smoothbore gun into a rifled gun, but the manufacture of mini bullets is a big problem. In order to solve the problem of hanging lead, a group of scientists led by Song Yingxing studied it for many years, but until Song Yingxing's death, they could not completely solve this problem. Later, after the efforts of Dai Cang, Dai Zi and others, they still couldn't make Mini bullets.

Without Mini bullets, the rifled gun rate of fire is too slow, and the bullet must be hammered into it to finish a shot, and the blow should not be too strong, so as not to damage the rifling.

Even if the bullet is wrapped in silk, the reloading speed is very slow.

In order to solve this problem, Dai Zi came up with a solution: it was mixed with graphite and paraffin wax and plated on the bullet, which could increase the lubrication of the bullet and reduce the wear and tear on the rifling. The outside is then wrapped in silk to increase the loading speed a lot. However, this type of ammunition is very expensive and is only available to the Marine Corps.

The rifled gun that uses this bullet can be said to be much better than the current rear-loading gun that leaks seriously and the firing pin is easy to break, and at present in the Ming army, in addition to the short handcuff, the rear-loading spear is an ornament, and no one likes to use the kind of dangerous weapon that will cut off their fingers if they are not careful.

Before the Marines approached the Qing boats, the movable wooden baffles were erected, covered with thick cowhide and wet felt to defend against rocket fire, and thick planks to keep out arrows and bullets. The marines, who used graphite-plated and paraffin bullets, stretched out a branch rifled gun in the cabin and aimed it at a nearby Qing boat, and the marines pulled the trigger one after another.

The fire on the "bang, bang, bang" boat flickered, and the dense bullets hit the Qing army's boat, knocking the Qing soldiers on the Qing army's boat into the water one after another.

The bow of the Ming army's small boat, there is also an 80-pound small sub-mother cannon, where the original position is to place the rod mine, this kind of pole mine-boat converted into a Marine Corps boat after the rod mine is removed, then an 80-pound small sub-mother cannon is installed, this kind of cannon can fire two-pound small shells, can also fire shotguns.

The "boom" small sub-mother cannon spewed out a ball of fire, and the shotgun hit a small Qing army boat on the front, and hundreds of iron beads swept away the Qing soldiers on the boat like rain.

The boats of the Marine Corps continued to shoot musket rounds, and the reloading speed of this new type of bullet was still not comparable to that of Minnie rounds, but it was already able to reach the speed of smoothbore guns. An experienced smoothbore gunner can shoot six bullets in one minute. The Marines are the most elite soldiers and can fire four or five times a minute.

The small boats of the Qing army full of hand-to-hand combat soldiers could not be relied on at all, and the small boats on their feet were extremely fast, advancing and retreating freely, and a small boat full of marines sailed over the river, and a round of attacks could destroy the Qing soldiers on two or three small boats.

The sixth-level privateer is also extremely powerful against the small ships of the Qing army. Class 6 privateers with a displacement of more than a hundred tons bombarded with solid shells at long distances; After getting closer, they bombarded it with shotguns, and there were a large number of birds and bows and arrows on board, and the Qing boats that approached were turned into unmanned ships.

Yang Guanyu's privateer ship rushed back and forth among the Qing army's boats, and the eighteen three-pounder cannons on the ship opened their bows left and right, causing the Qing army's boatmen to capsize on their backs. The sixth-class privateer also rammed the Qing army's small boats, and although the privateer's displacement was only more than 100 tons, it crashed into those small boats with a displacement of only a dozen tons, and it was overturned at once.

The Qing army's five-point plum blossom array is to fight more and less, and besiege the opponent's small boat with many small boats, creating an opportunity for their own fire attack ships to attack the opponent's big ships. However, a sixth-class privateer and a marine boat of the Ming army were able to destroy a large group of Qing boats that surrounded them.

"Don't care about the thief boat, the fire attack ship will attack the thief giant ship with all its might!" Lin Xingzhu roared hoarsely.

The Qing army's fire attack ships were like madmen, and moths rushed straight towards the Ming army's battleships.

A Qing army attack captain always looked at the battleship Nanjing not far away, he stared at the blood-red eyes, and shouted: "Brothers! Rush up! burned this thief giant ship, and rewarded three hundred taels of silver! ”

Dozens of fire attack ships desperately rushed towards the battleship Nanjing. The three Ming sixth-class privateers and six marine boats around immediately rushed over, shelled and shot, and the twelve Qing firestorm ships were beaten to the ground, and the speed of the ships dropped. The small boats of the Ming army immediately approached the Qing attack ship, and the marines on board threw torches and lit the fire attack ship.

The fire attack ships that had slipped through the net continued to pounce on the battleship Nanjing, and at this time, the fourth-class cruisers and fifth-class cruisers of the Ming army came out, and rows of shells smashed over. At the same time, the Nanjing's own naval guns also spewed out balls of fire, sinking or setting fire to the fire-attacking ships that were killing like moths to the flames.

Finally, there were two fire attack ships that slipped through the net, and they went straight to the Ming Nanjing battleship, which was less than 200 steps away. As the huge hull enlarged in the eyes, the Qing army always seemed to see a mountain of gold and silver. As long as his ship can be attached to it and set fire to the battleship Nanjing, he will get more than half of the bonus and be promoted to the third rank. Of course, the premise of being promoted and making a fortune is that he can go back alive.

"Boom, boom, boom" A row of fire erupted from the gun door on the battleship Nanjing, and grapeshits rained down on the two Qing attack ships.

There were more than 30 cannons on one side of the battleship, and in one round of bombardment, the Qing soldiers on the two fire attack ships were almost dead, and only the general and a few personal soldiers remained.
