Chapter 1193: Artillery shot

"Cannon. Shoot." a gunner on the noble cargo ship shouted loudly.

"Boom." There was a violent noise. A cannonball roared out.

On a small warship in disguise. The Chu State Navy sailors shouted loudly.

"Artillery attack." Some sailors shouted loudly, and then immediately lay on the ground. But their captain stood motionless on the boat. He stood there watching the shell "slowly" flying over.

"Crack." The shell knocked off the sail bar. Then fell directly into the water.

The captain said nothing. The ship is still approaching the noble cargo ship.

"The ship is still close to us." The chief mate on the noble cargo ship said anxiously at this time.

"The artillery aimed at them. Fired." The captain shouted.

"Shoot. Quickly." The first officer urged loudly while holding the telescope.

"It's really fatal." The captain looked at the small warship that was approaching. at this time. He still regards this carefully camouflaged small warship as a general water pirate ship, and he still believes that these ships do not have any heavy weapons on them, against ships equipped with artillery. These ships are simply vulnerable.

"The distance is less than a hundred steps." A sailor on the small warship whispered nervously.

"Get closer." This time. The captain replied. But his eyes never left the opponent's warship.

"Boom." There was a violent running sound.

"Wow." Then there was a violent shaking on the small warship. His ship was hit. The building on the deck in the center of the ship was knocked down by a round of artillery. Broken pieces of wood are flying everywhere.

"Captain..." a sailor said nervously.

"Get closer." At this moment, the captain called out loudly.

The sailors on the small warship were busy. They are speeding up and approaching each other's ships.

"Give them a final blow. All the artillery push out the position. Fire. Quickly." The captain of the noble cargo ship shouted at this time. Saw the small warship that was still approaching without any measures. The noble captain was very annoyed. Therefore, he would give the opponent a heavy blow, sinking the opponent all at once. It only takes one salvo and the opponent's ship will sink into the water.

"Only eighty steps," the sailor called loudly. The face on the captain of the warship twitched. This distance can be fired. But in order to achieve the best destructive effect of the artillery. The captain still did not respond. He needs to get closer.

Inside the cabin of a noble vessel. The gunner was nervously opening the gun door. Load the shells.

"Solid shells. Quickly." A burly sailor shouted loudly. He shouted loudly in his sturdy voice.

"Wow." Some artillery filled with shells began to roll out of the gun positions at this time. The gun door has been opened. The gunner can already see the situation of the opposing ship. They are making final adjustments. Just aim a little and you can shoot.

"Don't be afraid of death. I want to send you to feed the fish." The noble captain roared loudly at this time. He was extremely angry. The performance of this ship made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Fire. Quickly, fire." This time. The captain of the warship could not hold his breath. He immediately shouted loudly. Because he saw that the opponent's artillery was pushing out the position. he knows. If the opponent's artillery fires first, then his ship will sink.

"Push out the artillery. Aim and fire." This time. A gunner under the cabin roared loudly.

"Fire on your own. Fire on your own." At this moment, the gunner shouted loudly.

"Wow." The gunners under the cabin skillfully opened the gun door. Then the two gunners quickly launched the artillery. A gunner at the back quickly ordered the adjustment of the gun position.

"Fire." After the gunner took aim. Exclaimed quickly.

"Puff." The artillery was ignited at this time.

"Boom." A huge cannon sounded quickly. On the opposite cargo ship, a gunner was surprised to see the muzzle of the black hole.

"Yes, yes, it's artillery." Just when the gunner called out in surprise. The shells have hit directly.

"Boom." There was a huge explosion. The artillery shot directly into the muzzle of the opposing artillery. The solid shell hit directly into the opposite launch port.

"Puff." The sound of blood splashing came. The practice of shells beat an opponent's gunner into a **** body. The arm of a sailor on the side was also directly broken.

"Swish." Blood was still pouring out of the wound on the arm. The spherical shell kept rolling over and over, breaking the legs of many sailors. At this time, the gunners were pushing out the artillery. And this shell caused serious chaos.

"Not good. Fire. Watch out for fire." At this moment, a gunner shouted loudly.

A torch fell on the deck in the cabin at this time, and behind them was a gunpowder barrel. Once ignited, the entire ship will have a catastrophic explosion. This explosion can directly destroy the ship.

"Boom." "Boom." Just then. The ship shook violently. Two solid shells directly hit the main mast of the ship. "Crack." A sound. Sawdust flew everywhere. The face of a sailor standing behind was rubbed with wood thorns everywhere. Blood is flowing everywhere.

"The main mast is down." A sailor on the ship shouted at this time.

"Woohoo." The main mast made a whining sound at this time. Then fell straight down.

"Captain, be careful." The chief mate standing aside at this time. Quickly threw down the standing captain. The captain fell directly to the ground. The mast fell directly into the water.

"Very good. It hit." The captain of the warship on the opposite side roared loudly at this time. Seeing that the two guns knocked off each other's main mast. This means that the opponent has lost motivation. At least the main motivation. After losing the main motivation. Small ships only need to surround the opponent to fight. There is no need to consider the meaning of the opponent running away.

"Boom." "Boom." Two more guns were also fired at this time. One shot hit the superstructure on the opponent's ship. The opponent's sailor was instantly broken into pieces. The flying flesh and the pieces of wood flying everywhere. The scene was extremely bloody.

The other shell hit directly at the position where the artillery was launched. The shell went directly into the opponent's firing position. The position where the noble artillery fired. Within the entire launch position. a mess. Internal organs, flesh, severed limbs, and blood mixed with gunpowder. Everywhere. The broken pieces of wood made a mess in the cabin.

"The shooting is over. Load the other side shell." The gunner roared loudly at this time.

"Quickly." A large group of gunners quickly moved to the other side, and then quickly operated their artillery. And this time. On the deck, the sailors swiftly operated the sails and turned their directions.

Noble cargo ship.

"Captain, are you okay?" The first officer asked the captain who got up.

"Nothing. Our main mast. Is the main mast broken?" the captain asked at this time.

"Captain. Broken." The chief officer said with a crying face at this time.

"Damn it." The captain cursed at this time.

"What is the ship on the opposite side doing?" This time. The captain asked. He raised his head to see the situation on the other side and asked.

"It seems to be changing directions." The chief officer looked at and said.

"Our gun, why don't you fire it. Hurry up, fire it." The captain roared loudly at this time.

"Yes. Captain. Fire. Quickly, fire." At this moment, the captain roared loudly.

"Hurry up and fire the gun." At this moment, the chief mate shouted.

At this time, there was a panic on the deck. This was the first time the sailors encountered such a situation when the main mast was interrupted. This is the first time this has happened. Because there is no threat for a long time, these sailors don't get a lot of specialized training. The sudden situation caught them off guard.

"Go ahead and see why you don't fire the gun." This time. The captain ordered.

"Yes." The first officer stood up in a panic and ran down.

"Fire. Why not fire." This time. The first officer shouted loudly. At the same time, walked down anxiously.

Go on and take a look. The first officer knew what was going on all at once. The launch location was in a mess. Two shells hit the whole cabin in a mess. Some of the artillery was beaten and moved, and more were pieces of meat, so that most of the sailors who had no actual combat experience covered up the vomit of the sailors. The experienced gunner is reorganizing the manpower. Check the equipment and are actively preparing for the second launch.

"Cannonball preparation." The gunner stood on the deck, which was covered with blood. Vomit. A piece of minced meat is at the feet of the gunner.

"Quick. Aim. Those water-pirate ships hit fiercely." The gunmaster shouted.

"Move. Aim." The experienced old gunner is aiming calmly.

At this time, the warship was quickly turning the bow. At this time, the bow of the ship was facing the position where the opponent's artillery was fired.

"Fire." The gunmaster shouted loudly.

"Boom." There was a loud cannon.

"Wow." The shell screamed out and hit the opponent's bow accurately. Sawdust was everywhere, and a large block of wood fell into the water.

"Ah." The man on the battleship let out a scream after another. Some of the sailors who had their arms and legs dropped fell into the water. The blood quickly stained the surface of the river.

"We were shot." a sailor shouted.

"Turn the bow. Hold on to your post." The captain yelled calmly at this time. And the sailors stick to their posts at this time. They want to turn their bows upside down. The gunners below are anxiously waiting for the target to appear.

"Hurry up. Hurry up." A gunner said nervously.

The other gunners waited quietly. The gunners of the Chu State Navy were strictly trained. They have their own posts, even if their artillery is lost. They will also quickly move into the position of the next artillery and take up their due responsibilities. They fired multiple rounds to train. They are for this moment. They are real war machines.

But the gunners under the noble cargo ship on the opposite side seemed panicked a lot.

"Ready." A gunner finally cleaned up a cannon. The artillery was covered with blood. And there was some vomit on the corner of the gunner's mouth. Obviously, he was extremely nervous by such a scene. The gunner's face was also not pretty.

"Fire." The gunmaster shouted loudly.

"Boom." There was a loud sound. Thick smoke came out at this time. But no shells were fired.

"Damn it. No shells are loaded." This time. An experienced gunner called out loudly when he saw the strong gunpowder smoke.

"Damn it. How do you load the shells?" The experienced gunner pushed a thin young man with his big thick arms.

"Quick reload. The next artillery." At this time the gunmaster shouted loudly. at this time. No way, the experienced gunner reloaded the shells. And that thin person was completely rejected at this time. Because of tension, soldiers are prone to various problems in the first situation. If there is no strict training. It will be difficult for them to adapt quickly to this situation.

The bad thing is, facing such a tense environment. Even soldiers have received such training. They will also become tense and their muscles will become stiff. Many technical actions will become deformed. There will be more and more mistakes. The highest solution is to relax. Or some kind of subconsciousness is produced mechanically. This subconscious is usually solved by continuous intensive training.

This intensive training. It can make soldiers produce a kind of subconscious action in a tense environment. Under this kind of subconscious action, they will slowly adapt to the tense environment. Then they will become relaxed. The muscles no longer become hard. They gradually adapt to the environment and enter a combat state.

Training is the only effective way to strengthen this subconscious. In particular, training close to actual combat can make soldiers regain this feeling. Before Qin State conducted some military exercises, it was to eliminate the tension of the soldiers in a planned way. Let soldiers be familiar with the combat environment. Relying on the subconscious feeling, enter a kind of combat state. Achieve a high degree of unity of weapons and people.

This is a state of combat. Compare it. The sailors of the nobles obviously lacked such a level of training. Their ships are rarely subjected to such planned and premeditated attacks. And the other party is experienced. Training is also very hard, this is a difficult opponent. The quality of the soldiers on both sides also affected the different fate of the two ships.

"Boom." There was a loud noise. The shell knocked down a superstructure of the ship that had just turned its head. A soldier who was loosening the rope was broken into pieces. His legs are still standing on the deck. Bleeding mist is also sprayed from the incision. Just after the death of the sailor. Another sailor quickly came up from the bench. Took over the combat position of the sailor. He will continue to fight. Relaxing the rope can speed up the turn of the ship.

"Boom." There was another violent noise. A cannonball hit. But the cannonball flew directly. Did not hit any target, did not cause any damage to the ship.

Bad shooting level. Even if the ship was equipped with three times the number of artillery, it didn't have accurate shells to hit the opponent. And the number of extra artillery pieces is in vain. This level is terrible. Because, in the first time, you didn't put the other party to death, then it is yourself who will die next.

"Goddamn, it didn't hit." This time. The gunner was annoyed. His artillery was all fired. Most of the artillery was unable to fire in time because of the attack. It is full of blood stains and needs to be cleaned up before launching. Moreover, the gun positions are chaotic and need to be sorted out before relaunching.

"Prepare." The gunner roared loudly at this time.

And this time. The small warship on the opposite side finally turned its bow. Their muzzle slowly appeared in front of them.

"Everyone. Aim at the position of the opposite artillery and bombard the opponent fiercely." The artillery commander roared loudly at this time.

"If we can't kill each other, then we will die even worse. If we want to survive, we will be beaten severely." The artillery commander walked back and forth. And his men calmly looked at the target that appeared.

"Alright. Aim. Fire." The gunner roared loudly at this time.

"Boom. Boom." Two artillery fired at the same time. The shells roared out. This time it was a grenade. This shell can explode.

"Woo." The shell quickly crossed the combat distance of less than eighty steps. Then directly blasted into the opponent's cabin position.

"Boom." There was an explosion. The shell exploded in the cabin.

"Ah." The gunner on the noble cargo ship was directly blown out. An artillery also flew out at this time.

"Boom." Then there was another huge explosion. The explosion exploded into more people. And a large deck above was also overturned by a huge explosion at this time.

"Ah" some gunners jumped out from the position of the muzzle at this time.

"Boom." Another huge explosion came.

"We haven't fired the artillery yet." The warship gunners who were shocked by the explosion of the opponent said at this time. Their artillery has not been fired yet.

"Fire. Don't stay." This time. The gunner shouted loudly. On the other side, the gunners who had finished firing were loading the shells nervously.

"Boom." There was another sound. The shells were fired directly.

"Boom." A huge explosion came again.

"We hit it." The sailors shouted at this time. On the opposite noble ship, the captain was shaken by successive explosions. His hair has all fallen apart. There are also a lot of damage to his clothes.

"Damn it." The captain looked fiercely at the captain on the boat that defeated him, and the captain on the other side was also looking at him.

At this moment. The two people became extremely hostile. The two sides developed a great sense of hatred. This is a feeling of hatred.

"Boom." A huge explosion came. The captain of the noble ship was blown off by the explosion. A large number of decks and various boats were flying away.

The captain standing on the deck just sneered at this moment. He himself, he won. He won the war. His adventure succeeded. It's just something that no one else has ever done. He did it. He suppressed his excitement.

"Stop shooting. Fight the fire quickly. We want to keep our results." The captain shouted to his men at this time.

And the ship on the opposite side. The gunpowder barrel was hit by a shell. The gunpowder barrel exploded continuously. The explosion caused a fire. The fire suddenly turned the ship into a fire ship. And the ship on the opposite side is not in the humane to fight the fire. Only by keeping this big ship can they have the result of the battle. Otherwise, if they sink to the bottom, they will have no results. This is a disaster for them.

"Get close to them and put out the fire." The sailors roared loudly. On the opposite ship, people on fire continued to fall into the water. It was like piles of hot coals falling into the water and making a sneer. The sailors watched this happen.

If the other party fires cannonballs so quickly. Or if you fire them early, maybe they will fall into the water like this, and then become a delicacy for fish. Everybody knows. The fight was too suspended. It's too risky.

But now they have to accept such a result. They succeeded.

Thick billowing smoke is in the air. The smell of wood, and some burnt smell of flesh. The sailors on the ship were fighting the fire bucket by bucket. They don't care about the life and death of the people on board.

The warships at this time did not have special protection for the gunpowder barrels, because the fighting class had not yet reached such a level. There are still great differences in weaponry. After all, those who are equipped with artillery are in the minority, and only those with money can invest, and for others. They have their own capital. They have completed the primitive accumulation of capital and have some money in their hands. At this time they should make their choice.

"Unexpectedly, we made so much in one fell swoop. Nearly one thousand gold Qin State banknotes." A businessman said to the captain happily.

"We have made so much. But we have invested a lot. Our ships need to be repaired and some weapons need to be purchased. I saw artillery in the arms market over there. Now the people of Qin sell everything. Artillery is available. When they started selling, they gave instructions. If they buy more, they will send someone to teach how to use the artillery. I think we should buy the firearm.” The captain suggested at this time.

"Damn it. Are you crazy?" At this moment, the merchant shouted loudly.

"With this money, what we can't do, we can buy more goods. To make more money, at that time, we will buy the artillery you want." The merchant said at this time.

"Safety. I want to consider the safety of ships. Water pirates are everywhere now. Professionals and amateurs. Traders with a few guns dare to rob other people’s cargo. I am responsible for the safety of my own ships. I need artillery. Many people They are all buying artillery. Artillery can bring safety." The captain said.
