Chapter 140: The Superiority of Technological Superiority

These two ships under Chu Cai's old men are not bad to be armed, at least they are of the highest quality among pirates, and each ship is equipped with at least three cannons.

And the reason why Chu Cailao has been rampant on the sea all these years is that he is proud of his own ability to cast cannons, Chu Cailao is also a person with a bit of knowledge, and he knows the power of artillery, so he tried his best to get some blacksmiths to cast cannons for him.

Over the years, he had blacksmiths forge a lot of artillery for him and equip them on his ships, so his fleet was second to none in this area, if not many of them were his opponents.

But the artillery they cast independently, after Luo Xianbin led the team to start a sneak attack on them, captured a lot, Luo Xianbin is now with Yu Xiaotian, and has also learned a lot of things, personally surveyed these captured artillery from Chu Cailao's ship, and immediately sneered at Chu Cailao's level of casting artillery.

After inspection, they found that the artillery cast by Chu Cailao was basically a product of shoddy production, not to mention the light and short barrel, and there was no unified standard for the thickness of the cannon wall, let alone the caliber of the unified artillery.

These cannons are all cast by the mud fan casting method, each cannon is different, there is no unified standard, the gun body and even the gun chamber have not been carefully bored, reach out to the barrel to touch it, it is actually astringent and astringent, there are even cracks left on the gun wall, the wall of some guns can be seen with the naked eye is covered with large and small pores, and some pores can actually pour a small bowl of water into it.

If this kind of cannon had been replaced two years ago, Luo Xianbin and the Seawolf tribe would not dare to laugh at them, but now that they have used the new "Hongyi Cannon" made by Seawolf (they are still accustomed to thinking that the artillery cast by the Seawolf belongs to the category of Hongyi Cannon), they can no longer look down on such rags.

These cannons are used by them now, they don't dare to use them, God knows how high the chance of killing themselves is if these things are ignited, and they really don't dare to play these guys anymore if they don't have the courage.

If it weren't for the fact that iron was now a necessary material for them, they estimated that they would have thrown these rags directly into the sea, so they directly handed over these cannons captured from Chu Cai's old men to the transport ships that assisted them, and let them transport them back to Nanri Island to be rebuilt.

This is also the reason why they look down on Chu Cailao, and dare to be so arrogant and bold to poison Chu Cailao's ships.

Although Chu Cailao's two boats also fired back in a panic, the distance of 200 paces was still too far for them, and although the limited number of guns on their ships were also lively, after observing the landing point of their shelling, the result was frustrating.

A few shells mixed with the loose parts of the cannon chamber scattered on the sea between the two ships like rain, stirring up a wave of different sizes, and what was even more ridiculous was that after a cannon on their ship ignited, it simply blew itself up on the ship.

In an instant, several minions gathered around this cannon fell out of the cannon with screams on their faces covered with blood, and the ship rolled all over the ship and let out a scream like killing pigs.

This kind of counterattack effect made the people on the sea wolf's side laugh and fall one by one, and they couldn't wait to roll around the boat with their stomachs covered, where is this fighting back! It's just masochism!

So under Luo Xianbin's order, after a short time, the three ships of the sea wolf began the second round of shelling.

After the correction of the first round of shelling, the effect of the second round of shelling was obviously much improved, and the speed of the ships was reduced, and the ships became more stable, so that the accuracy of the shelling of each ship was much improved.

This time, the three ships fired fourteen shells, and only one cannon appeared dumb fire again, and the firing rate of this era was actually quite good, and the accuracy of this round of guns has also been greatly improved, basically there was no situation where the shells were sent flying, half of the fourteen shells accurately hit the enemy ship, and the remaining half were basically close-arrow shells, and the waves around the boat were splashing.

This time, Chu Cai's old boat can't stand it, the structure of its own Chinese sailing ship is relatively weak, and this time these two boats are used as bait by a shopkeeper under Chu Cai's old men, of course, he will not be willing to choose the strongest boat he has on hand to act as bait, this boat itself is a broken boat, just a certain camouflage, it is really vulnerable.

When it was hit by such heavy artillery fire, the ship's hull structure was greatly damaged, the hull cracked in many places, and the sea water gushed in and poured into the various cabins of the ship, slowing the ship even more.

And those Chu Cailao's minions on this ship were completely panicked at this time, they had the heart to resist, but the enemy did not give them a fair chance to resist at all, just outside the range of their artillery fire, they began to bombard them mercilessly, this is no longer a simple robbery of the ship, it is clear that they want to put them to death.

So the minions on this boat saw that the situation was not good, and saw that the boat under their feet was full of holes, and the water leaked everywhere and could not be helped, so they began to jump into the sea with a shout, and swam like crazy towards the other boat, trying to escape from here in another boat.

Luo Xianbin took a look at the battered boat that was beaten by them, the corners of his mouth still maintained a cold smile, spit into the seawater, and scolded: "Grandma, if you dare to offend our sea wolves, you are asking for hardship!" This time it did a good job, the boats turned to the next boat, don't ramble with them, sink them too, let's go home! ”

Seeing the two rounds of shelling, the sea wolf men on the three boats beat the enemy ship into a sieve, and one by one they became even more arrogant, and immediately began to reload again with a cheer, targeting the remaining enemy ship.

And the rest of the boat that acted as bait, the minions on the boat were also frightened at this time, although they had already heard about the power of these ghost ships, but they still didn't expect that the cannon fire of these ghost ships was so sharp, they didn't give them a chance to resist at all, so they beat the boat to pieces.

Now the accomplices on that boat have begun to jump into the sea to escape, which means that they will become the next target, so the captain of the ship immediately exclaimed, telling his subordinates to quickly turn the sails and turn the rudder to avoid these ghost boats, as for those accomplices who swam towards them, he can't care about saving them at this time.

I saw that the boat turned its rudder and adjusted its sails, accelerated and fled in the direction of Kinmen Island, leaving those accomplices who were soaked in the water simply behind, and the angry accomplices who were struggling in the water scolded the people on this boat one by one.

Fortunately, the sea wolves only focused on attacking ships, and did not focus on killing, and after forcing these old Chu Cai men to jump into the sea, they did not poison them again, so that these guys who jumped into the sea did not continue to be slaughtered.

When the captain of their ship abandoned the ship, he threw a small sampan carried on the boat into the sea, rowed the boat and scooped up a few people on the sea, and began to paddle desperately, and fled towards Kinmen Island.

Luo Xianbin stared at the fleeing ship, ordered the three boats to raise their sails again and accelerated, adjusted their course and chased after them.
