Chapter 41: Shelling of Kobayakami

Seeing the cannonball flying towards them, several sailors on the ship were very panicked at this time, because they had just seen with their own eyes that the cannonball had killed one of their companions, but when the water began to pour in wildly, they instinctively began to want to plug the big hole in the bottom of the boat, but by the time they started to act, it was too late, and the water inhibitibly engulfed every inch of the ship, and finally completely swallowed Xiaozao, and the whole process did not take long.

"Damn, what is this, how can it be so powerful? Is this the Kuroda family's new weapon? Bao Jiu Jingsheng, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked at the sinking boat in disbelief and said in surprise.

"Don't care so much, order the whole army to advance as fast as possible, be sure to melee with the Kuroda Navy as soon as possible, and move me if you don't want to die." Kobayakawa Takakei shouted loudly, he deserved to be a veteran of the water war, and soon saw the weakness of the Kuroda family's artillery, and he found that this weapon could definitely only attack from a distance, not close combat. The only chance for the Mori family now is to quickly approach the Kuroda family's fleet and quickly contact for broadside battles, so as to minimize their own casualties.

Kuroda Iefuku's attack in this round seemed to be full of momentum, but only two of the more than 40 shells hit, and the hit rate was outrageous, and even Xu Shouguang, the sister-in-law of Xu Weixue, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, was angry with his opponent. The Ming sailors of the Kuroda family's fleet began to quickly clear the chambers, reload gunpowder, shells, and leads, and quickly adjust the angle of the bronze cannons.

"Put" With Xu Shouguang's order, the second round of shells of the Kuroda family was fired.

"Damn, the Kuroda family is attacking again, all the ships are scattered, hurry up." Kobayakawa Takakei shouted loudly.

"All the ships are scattered, all of them give me speed." Takakei Hiraga immediately loudly conveyed Kobayakawa Takakei's order to the fleet.

Although Kobayakawa Takakei reacted quickly enough, when he gave his order, it was actually too late, and the speed of the cannonball was so fast that it once again stirred up a thick white fog on the side of the Fukubune, and even the sides of the small Fufune and Daifuku ships around it were shrouded.

"Damn the Kuroda family, the whole army is moving forward quickly, and try to maintain a scattered formation." Takakei Kobayakawa once again commanded loudly, but it was too late.

To say that the first round of attack of the Kuroda family before, only two shells were hit, in fact, it is already good, you must know that although the distance is relatively close, but just now it was only a round of test firing, and the current second round of attack is different from just now.

Compared with the first round of artillery attacks, the Ming sailors who attacked the Kuroda family in this round first adjusted the angle of the artillery on the basis of the previous round of attacks, and predicted the route of the Maori family's naval army in combination with their speed. At the same time, because the Maori family is also accelerating forward, the distance between the two sides is really decreasing, so this is conducive to the Kuroda family's naval army to improve the accuracy of artillery in a short period of time.

In the end, the Maori family really underestimated these Kuroda family's Ming country sailors, you must know that most of these sailors were the subordinates of the Wufeng ship owner before, they were all skilled sailors who crossed the sea with giant thieves, and they were all bitter people who were used to licking blood with knives, and now they live in the Kuroda family, and they can still live, so they all cherish the life in front of them very much, and most importantly, they are very familiar with artillery, and even some sailors have reached the level of being like an arm, so now when the second round of shelling is carried out, It's bound to be sharper than before, and it is, in fact.

"Everyone took care to dodge, and all the ships continued to move forward at full speed." Kobayakawa Takakei shouted loudly.

"All full speed ahead" Soon someone passed his order out.

But no matter what Takakei Kobayakawa thinks in his heart, the cannonballs are emotionless, and they will not deviate from the track by themselves just because you are a famous historical general. To tell the truth, at this time, Kobayakawa Takakei's order to dodge the cannonballs was not necessarily more reliable than praying to the gods and Buddhas. Forty shells arrived at the heads of the Maori navy in an instant, and everyone in the Maori navy hoped that the shells would fall into the water, or at least not on their own heads.

In the end, six shells hit the target, except for one that hit the bow of an Ataka ship, which failed to seriously damage the enemy ship, and two shells miraculously hit the same Ataka ship, and the other three ships were mortally wounded. In an instant, a Guan ship was hit by a flowering shell, and after the shell smashed through the deck, it exploded in the cabin, and the entire Guan ship was accompanied by this explosion, which produced huge fluctuations, and then there was a violent shaking, and the Guan ship obviously began to sink, but the sinking speed was a little faster, most of the sailors were not able to escape, only a few lucky ones on the deck jumped into the water, but it is difficult to say whether they can really survive. In addition, there are two Maori Xiaozao who were directly smashed into two pieces by solid bullets and fell into the water in an instant, without giving the people on board any time to react.

The Kuroda family attacked three more rounds, and once again caused the Maori family to lose more than a dozen large and small ships, but even so, there was no angle to stop the Maori family's charge, whether it was brave or afraid, and even the speed of the Maori family's naval army increased a lot, and soon they had touched the edge of the Kuroda family's fleet.

"The whole army is ready to attack with baking bombs, so that the Kuroda family can see the power of our Maori army." Kobayakawa Takakei looked at the Kuroda family's fortune boat not far away, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Hey!!"

Just when Kobayakawa Takakei looked at the Kuroda family's fleet and gave an order, Xu Shouguang, the chief general of the Kuroda family's fleet, also shouted loudly: "Brothers, cheer me up, the enemy is right in front of you, all the big ships turn the rudder left, raise their sails, and move forward at full speed, don't be afraid to crash directly into the enemy ship." The other small ships all followed the big ships, waiting for an opportunity to attack the enemy's ships. ”

"Yes!!"

Just when the ships of the Maori family were very close to the fleet of the Kuroda family, the sailors of the Maori family took out a clay pot one by one, and if you look closely, the jar is stuffed with black things, and in the opening of the jar, there is a not very long lead, this thing is baking, it can be said to be a primitive grenade, and the power of melee combat is really much greater than a solid cannonball.

With a shout from Kobayakawa Takakei, the sailors of the Maori family threw out their baking bombs one after another. (To be continued.) )
