On the sea, two big ships more than ten meters high and dozens of meters long, one or two hundred meters apart, adding up to hundreds of cannons, why did they fight for a long time and couldn't hit each other a few times? The key is on this wave! Because the hull of the ship was shaking and shaking, the gunner was stuffed below deck, and there was only a small gun door in front of him to see the outside, and he couldn't feel when the ship was level, so unless it happened, the shells fired either hit the sea or jumped into the sky, and only a few tenths of them could hit the target. Even if it hits, if it is not a vital part, it will still be bounced open by a hull dozens of centimeters thick, and it will be difficult to penetrate. So at that time, the naval battles could sometimes be fought for several days, and then no one sank anyone, and the gunners were tired, or they were close to the desperate, or everyone called it a day and went home.

With the method that Hong Tao plagiarized from the French, although the frequency of firing was slower, the accuracy was much improved. This is very much in line with Hong Tao's current needs, he doesn't need to shoot frequently, and he doesn't need to use the iron ball rain to suppress the enemy's firepower, he needs a shell to eliminate an enemy, so the cost is lower.

When a series of small doors suddenly opened on the side of the Golden River, the other party's sailboat finally sensed that something was wrong. But they still didn't hide, but gathered to the side of the boat to watch the excitement. I did see the excitement, a few big thick cylinders soon drilled out of these small doors, and as the two ships gradually coincided, you could even see a figure shaking behind the small door, what were they doing?

In fact, the gun door was not originally used for war, it was a loading and unloading method developed by French merchant ships, because there were too many rigging on the deck of galleons. Affect the loading and unloading of goods. So the clever French opened a lot of small windows on both sides of the ship. It was used to carry goods, but it was later discovered by the British, who stole it and turned it into a cannon launcher.

"Bang...... Bang ......" There were two loud bangs, no, I saw a puff of fire and smoke from those thick barrels first, and then I heard a loud bang. Then the ship that hit the head was like being hit by a big wave sideways, and the hull of the ship was instantly shocked, knocking down many people on deck. Some people can still get up. Dizzy and confused, some people simply couldn't get up, and their bodies were covered in sawdust. Some of them don't even have a complete body, half of them left, and a third of them are all left.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h The starboard side had already been cut with a few large holes, and so had the port side, and there were almost no people in the cabin except for the sea water pouring through these holes. The blasted wood turned into countless shrapnel. Whoever is close to the hull is unlucky, covered with wood. Whirring blood. Those who were not affected by the splinters of wood were no better, and the cargo in the hold was shattered, and all hard objects became shrapnel.

In fact, in this round of shooting, only three shells hit the hull in total, one hit the bow of the ship, and the remaining one did not know where it flew. The distance of dozens of meters has not been fully hit, and the five guns fired a salvo, and actually made two sounds, and the quality of the gunners can be imagined. But this did not affect the firing effect, and the three shells that hit the middle of the hull without exception passed through the middle of the hull, and then drilled out from the other side, piercing the hull like a string of sugar gourds. These are six big holes, not only the big holes, but the surrounding wooden planks have also been shaken apart, and the two auxiliary keels have also been broken, so that the pressure of the sea water is pressed, click! In the course of more than a minute after being shelled, this 100-ton sailing ship was warped at both ends, broke off from the middle, and suddenly turned into two ships, and began to spin in place, drifting north along the current.

"Holy! It's kind of interesting, but it's a pity, if you can fill the cannon, the effect will be better, and you can probably break it to pieces, right? Hong Tao didn't expect that the first round of shelling would achieve such brilliant results, and he touched the stubble on his chin that was a little prickly, and began to enter a state of reverie again.

The guns on the Golden River were less than half loaded, with ten 155 guns on the ground floor and ten 135 guns on the upper deck. Not only were the gun emplacements on the Jinhe more than half empty, but the situation was similar for the Haibo and Quanzhou, and the Qiongzhou and Guangzhou, which escorted the merchant ships, were simply only equipped with two 135 guns on the bow, which should be used as exercises. There is only one reason, the artillery production in Jinhewan is not enough, and in the short term, it can only be installed with a few guns that can be produced, and each battleship is decorated with a little, so that everyone has the opportunity to shoot guns.

"As soon as such a sharp weapon comes out, Jinhe Company and Strait Company will be invincible on the sea, congratulations sir!" Wen Nan was also shocked by the artillery shooting just now, he had seen the drills of this new weapon before, and he also knew that this thing was more powerful than any previous bow and trebuchet. But like Hong Tao, it was the first time he saw the actual combat scene, and he was stunned, but he didn't forget to congratulate Hong Tao.

"Lao Wen, you can be regarded as praising me once when I killed someone, it's not easy! You know, the more advanced the technology and the more advanced the weapons, the faster and neater you can kill people. In the past, I used to use bows and arrows, knives and guns, and I was tired and sweated for half a day to kill a few people, but then I had a grenade, which could kill people from a hundred meters away, and now I have artillery, and I saw it, and there was a burst of smoke, and at least dozens of people on that ship died, and it was a matter of an instant. The times are different, and thinking has to change with it, and we can no longer think about problems with old eyes and ideas. Although he was not sarcastic this time, he was not said to be a demon king, and he even had a little praise, but Hong Tao did not feel useful. The two loud noises just now completely announced the arrival of another new era, and it was brought by itself, it should have arrived in two or three hundred years, and it ended up being ahead of schedule. I am mentally prepared, and the people of Jinhewan are also a little prepared, but are others prepared?

At this time, there was chaos in the strait, and although the three ships behind did not know what the ship in front of them had sunk, they confirmed that this thing came out of the Jinhe, because the large barrels behind the Jinhe gun door had retracted. At first, everyone watched this overly large ship with curiosity and appreciation, and from time to time discussed why there were so many sails and people on its high mast. Now, no one cares to discuss these issues anymore, the rudder of the rudder, the sail of the sail, the cry of the cry. In an instant, they understood that this was the enemy who came to seek revenge, and as for who the enemy was, they didn't have time to figure it out, so let's run away first.

Unfortunately, none of them could escape, and just halfway through the turn, the five deadly canisters came out from behind the small window on the side of the ship. Well, now that they have become devils, a bit of a divine power that refers to who is pregnant, and no one in a boat is willing to face them, or even take a second look. They weren't sure if the noise and the smoke were caused by blasphemy, so they tried to avoid their sight and ran to shore with their hands on the boat. Running aground and running aground are already great happiness for the people on these three sailboats.

"Bang bang ......" This time the salvo of the Jinhe was finally close to one note, but the problem was that the sound was neat, the accuracy dropped again, and only one of the five shells hit, and the other four all went into the sea.

"Bang...... Bang ...... "At the same time, the Haibo and Quanzhou behind them also opened fire, and the second ship was much luckier than the first, it was besieged by three ships, and it actually stood still, and it was almost beaten into a sieve, and it was stunned and did not sink or fall apart. The problem is that the people on the boat are unlucky, except for a few clever ones who quickly jumped into the sea, those who are still on the boat or have not had time to jump quickly, and are pierced like blood gourds by the debris and wooden thorns flying around, and they can't stop wailing.

"Order, stop shooting, there is no one on those two ships, don't waste shells!" After the third and fourth ships came into firing angles, Hong Tao gave a new order. Just now, everyone's attention was on shooting at the target, and even the lookout forgot his duty and went to watch the fireworks, but Hong Tao didn't forget, he had already found that the people on the two boats behind him were jumping into the water with all kinds of things.

Pasaima Port is a small port, smaller than the port of Malacca, and behind the port is a residential area with no walls, only a few small sections of wooden walls. At this time, there were still several boats parked in the port, but the people on board were running to the shore, and the sound of conch shells also sounded, and it was estimated that the people in the port were warning someone. It is estimated that they are not unfamiliar with the rat flag hanging on the Haibo that has rushed into the port area, at least no one will know it, and there was once a rat flag and a copper coin flag floating on the fort of Malacca Port, which were later burned by some people. Hong Tao thinks that the murderers who burned his flag and killed his own people are also in the port of Pasaima, and he is going to start taking revenge officially.

After entering the port area, the Hypo did not stop, but turned around before stopping. At this time, the Jinhe and Quanzhou, which had been cruising outside the port, began to slowly enter the port, and the Costeffective Haibo did not want to attack here, but to probe the depth of the water for the Jinhe. In fact, attacking such a small port, the Jiaosha-class battleship is enough, and the far-sea battleship like the Jinhe is really not suitable for offshore combat, there are too many restrictions, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will make the become a bad pen.

When the Jinhe was a few hundred meters away from the pier, slowly crossed the hull of the ship, and opened the gun door again, the people in the harbor did not know what the ship was going to do, many people who were alarmed by the sound of the cannon just now also made up for the port, and there were also some people with weapons who were running towards the two ships, it seemed that it should be the defenders here, ready to sail out to sea to fight.
