Chu Liuxiang was very depressed. For the first time, he discovered that those big guns were so powerful. While he could fire one shot, others could fire seven, and he didn't have to worry about the barrel overheating and exploding the barrel.
Once within range, the damage is much higher than that of his beloved Dafa Gong.
What¡¯s even more depressing is that the muzzle of the gun can still turn up, down, left, and right, and the enemy can still hit the enemy within 100 meters without missing a beat.
??And the position of their bow gun group is already high, and the small Japanese ship is short. At this distance, the Daifa Gong and the Half-Snake Cannon can no longer hit each other, and adding spacers to the tail of the gun is useless
"Grandma, what kind of bullshit plan is this?" I saw the big Buddha Langji spitting tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of Japanese pirates one after another. Chu Liuxiang spat in frustration, thinking that if he continued like this, the limelight would be stolen by the Fo Lang gun crew, and his dream of special promotion would definitely be ruined.
The only thing that can be hit now is the Anzhai ship whose sails were damaged and which is far behind.
"But the rafters of the Anzhai ship are very strong, so grape bullets cannot penetrate them, and solid bullets are of no use if they penetrate them."
"The only thing we can do is use the red fire bomb!" Chu Liuxiang gritted his teeth and said.
"Ah, gunner, isn't that thing too risky?!" The smoky gunner was startled, and the assistant gunner, loader, and gunpowder man also looked at the gunner in fear. They had only practiced that thing twice, and each time they were so scared that they wet their pants.
"You bitches, if you are timid, don't imitate other people's artillery fire!" Chu Liuxiang spat: "That tortoise ship is so strong, how can you fight it without using red fire bombs?!"
Although the security team is not an army in name, the military law is no less stringent than that of the Qi family army. When the gunner commander issues an order, the people below can only carry it out.
The gunpowder man had no choice but to drag out a thick iron charcoal bucket from the cabin, use a torch to ignite the charcoal in the bucket, and when the blue flames burned brightly, he clamped four hollow iron bullets into the charcoal bucket.
"Gunner, how long will this take?" The gunners who were not firing were loading their Longqing rifles for self-defense, while watching from a distance the gunpowder men, sweating profusely, fanning the flames and baking the iron balls.
"Wait." Chu Liuxiang rolled his eyes at them angrily, which was a bit embarrassing.
Ordinarily, the cannonballs should be red-hot from the beginning and ready for use. But this thing is too dangerous. Once it falls on the deck, it can cause human tragedy. Therefore, the gunners were very resistant to this thing. After several drills, even the gunnery commander on the ship was too scared to force the gunners to prepare this dangerous thing, which the sailors called "red fire bombs" .
So at first, the gunpowder man who was responsible for preparing the ammunition didn't even light the charcoal barrel. After all, there was a barrel of propellant sitting under his buttocks, and it would be too dangerous to light another barrel of fire.

The bow fort over there is out of business, but the Dafo Langji here is doing a very prosperous business.
Nearly two hundred French aircraft on twenty warships roared at the same time, forming a dense cross-fire network, frantically harvesting the Japanese pirates on the deck.
Nearly every Japanese pirate ship on board was severely damaged, and many Japanese ships were destroyed. The sea was densely covered with corpses of Japanese pirates, and injured people who fell into the water were crying and screaming. It was like a hell on earth.
Those small morning boats that lacked protection suffered heavy casualties even among the oarsmen, almost all lost their power, and floated helplessly on the water, completely becoming a living target for the Coast Guard.
But the sides of the closed boats are higher, and the oarsmen are rowing below the deck. The shotgun's defense-breaking ability is insufficient, so its damage to the rowers is naturally limited. Therefore, even though the Japanese pirates on the deck had been wiped out, the oarsmen below were still rowing desperately, allowing the Guan boat to continuously approach the Ming army ships.
The so-called "sekisun" refers to the ships that Japanese pirates set up checkpoints on the sea navigation routes in the Middle Ages and collected tolls from passing ships, hence the name "sekisun".
Because of the need to catch up with ships that refused to pay tolls, the design and construction of Guanfeng focused on speed. By the Warring States Period, this kind of ship was used as a military ship. With forty or fifty oarsmen rowing desperately, the speed that explodes in a short period of time is indeed not comparable to that of a sailboat driven by wind.
Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty¡¯s fleet kept sailing downstream and tried desperately to keep a distance, they were still being approached by the Japanese pirates!
Besides, the Dafo Langji is not a real repeating cannon. After firing the preloaded musket, the firing speed suddenly slowed down.
After all, we still can¡¯t completely eliminate the enemy with firepower alone
??~~
The two sides were less than 30 meters apart, and finally entered the attack range of the Japanese pirates.
Those Japanese pirates lying on the deck have been waiting for this moment. They immediately lit the match and fired the "iron cannon" in their hands.
What the Japanese callNow, the warriors in charge can only draw manpower from the rowers to attack.
The oarsmen were not even ashigaru, they were just farmers who fished and farmed. They were just fine in the cabin. As soon as I got on the deck, I saw the sea of ??blood and the hell-like tragic scene. I was frightened to death. Why did I pick up the ship? It¡¯s almost enough to catch a pee¡
Of course, there were also Japanese pirates who rushed onto the deck, holding bright Japanese swords, and started to kill everyone!
However, what awaits them is the simplified version of the 'Five Elements Formation', the most powerful formation on earth in the 16th century, which set a record for the battle loss ratio in the cold weapon era, was honorably produced by Qi Jiguang and taught by Tong Zigong. '.
There is no way, the space on the ship is limited, and the mandarin duck formation of twelve people cannot be spread out. We can only dismantle it into the 'Five Elements Formation' and make do with it.
I saw the security team members in groups of five. One of the two at the front was holding a shield and the other was holding a spear, forming the first line of defense. Two other spearmen followed closely behind, and a sword-and-shielder stood behind to guard against a sneak attack from behind. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
