Chapter 2820 Suddenly the hull shakes, and then shakes again... (Please subscribe for tickets)

After the three modified ships had finished loading and securing the artillery, Cheng Sanlang led a group of Cheng's family members to the three modified gun ships.

The final preparations began, and on the other side, three of the navy's berths were already too old.

Looking at the old dilapidated ship that makes people feel distressed, many thick hemp ropes are tied to the stern.

Then, the warships pulled with all their might, and pulled these unusable old wrecks out of the navy berth.

Slowly sailing towards the distant sea, walking and walking, there is an old and broken ship within a few minutes of leaving the navy berth. I don't know if the structure has decayed, and it has already started to leak water, slowly going down Shen.

The two warship officers who were responsible for pulling the broken ship were taken aback, and quickly ordered someone to cut off the cables, avoiding the fate of being pulled by the old broken ship and dying together.

As a result, there were only two target ships left, and Li Ke, who was standing beside Cheng Sanlang, said with regret.

"Brother Chu Bi, there is another target ship missing, do you want them to get some more?"

"Forget it, just for these three broken ships, the expression of that general Wu Zhonglang is as if he has robbed his daughter's dowry. It is not appropriate to search for them."

"When you look back and let him see the power of these gunboats, believe me.

At that time, I'm afraid Wu Zhonglang will wish he could smash up all those small broken boats, crying and shouting that he only wants this kind of treasure under our feet. "

After Cheng Chubi said these words, he turned his head and looked at those people who were carrying wooden boxes and barrels onto the boat.

In order to facilitate the distinction, Cheng Sanlang decided to adopt the simplest shape to facilitate the distinction of the gunners. The boxy wooden boxes are filled with shells.

The wooden barrel is full of gunpowder. After all, although Cheng Sanlang has never fought a naval battle in later generations, he has also watched a lot of exciting sailing naval battle movies.

But for Cheng Chubi, a capable person, his considerations are naturally far more comprehensive than those shown in those blockbuster sea battles of the West Barbarians.

The first is the gunpowder. Although it is packed in a wooden barrel, when you open the wooden barrel, it is full of strips of gunpowder wrapped in oiled paper and in standard quantities.

And this standard weight represents the normal amount of charge, so that when a big war happens.

All the loader needs to consider is to pick up a paper tube, bite a hole, and then pour gunpowder into the gun bore.

It is avoided that when the war is in a panic, too little gunpowder is loaded, resulting in insufficient penetration of the artillery, or too much powder is charged, causing the barrel to burst.

Li Ke and a group of martial arts disciples were also curiously looking at the boxes of shells at the moment. The main reason was that there were strange symbols specially marked on the outside of these boxes.

Some are just a circle, and some are arrow-shaped, some are two circles with a line in between, and some are many small circles.

"Brother Chu Bi, why are there several patterns made on the outside of these cannonball boxes? Are these cannonballs still exquisite?"

"Of course, there are particulars. The round ones are conventional shells, and the round ones with split tops are flower shells.

As for the other two types, one is a chain bullet and the other is a grape bullet, both of which are special bullets. "

"For a while, I can't explain it clearly to you. After a while, you will understand the functionality of these shells."

Hearing this, the old brothers were at a loss, but they still felt that seeing is believing.

Just after all the supplies were loaded, following Cheng Sanlang's order, the three refitted gunboats were under the personal control of a group of Dengzhou Navy veterans led by General Wu Zhonglang.

It began to slowly sail away from the wharf where the navy berthed, and headed in the direction of the target ship.

Although General Wu Zhonglang believed in Qi Wang Li Ke's words, he really expected that these gunboats would be very powerful.

In the past, sea battles, water battles, and naval warships were more often chosen at a certain distance first.

First use the ballista to attack, wait until it is a little closer, then shoot each other with bows and arrows, wait until the warships on both sides meet the board, and then mount the racket.

Then a group of sailors picked up their weapons and put them on their arms, killing him bloody, and laying his corpses all over the field.

This is a very normal water battle scene, but now, General Wu Zhonglang also wants to see how effective the artillery that can blow up Luoyang City into a miasma can be used in water battles.

After the three refitted gunboats slowly sailed away, a group of Dengzhou navy officers and soldiers suddenly became unhappy.

After all, everyone also wanted to see what kind of damage that legendary monster Cheng Sanlang could cause after transforming the three warships.

Ever since, at the instigation of those soldiers, warships one by one began to slowly leave the navy's berth, and chased after the three gunboats.

Directly in front of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 gunboats were the five old broken ships lined up, and there was a distance of nearly a mile between each ship.

Following Cheng Sanlang's instructions to General Wu Zhonglang, General Wu Zhonglang immediately issued an order loudly.

Soon the three modified gunboats began to turn slowly, and then faced the No. 1 target ship, forming a standard horizontal formation.

Cheng Chubi looked at the No. 1 target ship about 50 feet away from his side, and yelled straight away.

"Twenty-five degrees ~lightnovelpub.net~ Straight ahead, load chain bombs on the first floor of the battery, and fire sequentially! The second floor of the battery is ready."

As soon as the words fell, the same roar came from the first deck, and then, the Cheng family, who had already had experience in maneuvers, lit the fuse of the artillery.

General Wu Zhonglang and the sailors soon heard a huge roar coming from under their feet, and then saw a puff of white smoke jetting away from the side of the ship.

Before the white smoke dissipated, a second loud noise came, and another puff of white smoke appeared, and so on...

But at this moment, the old wrecked ship right in front of it seemed to have a sudden epilepsy, and suddenly the hull shook, and then shook again... This is a very serious, shockingly destructive ship shaking.

The distance of fifty feet is not far away, and all the visitors standing on the deck can clearly see that three wrecks suddenly appeared on the hull of the old dilapidated ship, as if torn apart by a savage giant. Hole.

And it wasn't over yet, so he couldn't die, there happened to be a chain bullet, slightly higher than the side of the ship, and it smashed all the nearby railings, and continued to charge forward without losing momentum.
