Chapter 2822 The First Successful Artillery Combat Drill On The Sea (Please subscribe for tickets)

The so-called blooming bomb is actually a hollow bullet, but it is cast into a conical bullet body, and the opening is in the front.

Fill the body with gunpowder, iron fragments and lead pellets, and finally place the lead wire in the opening.

Finally, before firing, a piece of wood, that is, a wooden bullet holder, will be used to separate the propellant from the shell.

After the artillery is fired, the extremely high temperature generated by the combustion of the propellant will leak forward through the gap between the barrel and the shell during the ejection process.

During the ejection of the cannon, the fuse is ignited. Since the shell is conical in shape, the flight after exiting the chamber will be more stable.

When the message is burned out, the cannonball will explode violently and split apart, causing fragmentation damage to the surrounding area.

Blossom bombs, this is Cheng Chubi's inspiration in the process of testing the flying thunder cannon many times.

Because the Feilei Cannon does not rely on fragments to kill, but relies on charging, reloading, and using the destructive power generated by violent explosions to do things.

But of course it can't be used like this on the boat, after all, I really don't have enough money to make such a fuss.

After all, I made nitroglycerin before, just to cure diseases and save lives. Although there are a lot of reserves, once it is applied to the military, it will seem like a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Cheng Sanlang, who was very active in his mind, thought of such a trick, and moved the flower bomb to the gunboat for use.

And after the test firing before, the effect is quite good. Among the ten bombs, eight flowering bombs can be successfully exploded.

However, it would be a bad thing to drop it on the sea, but no matter what, the weight of the bomb body is enough to damage the ship's side of the ship.

In a word, even if I don't explode, I can still poke your waist.

Soon, the three warships bypassed the position where the unlucky No. 1 target ship sank, and surrounded the No. 2 target ship.

The No. 1 target ship is an old battleship, while the No. 2 target ship is an old and dilapidated building ship.

There is no way, the Dengzhou navy of the Tang Dynasty inherited the navy of the previous dynasty, and most of the equipment inherited the legacy of the former Sui navy.

Moreover, many of these naval ships have existed since the early Sui Dynasty, just like the building boats floating on the sea at this moment, looking like old people who are dying.

I am afraid that the age of this building ship is ten or twenty years older than that of Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

After decades of soaking in the magnificent sea, it is typical old and dilapidated.

Although the three building ships transformed by Cheng Sanlang were not much younger than this target ship, and although there were some decay and damage in some places, they were still in good condition.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy who had been watching from afar with their respective warships, saw that the group of bigwigs seemed to have no reaction to being watched, so they boldly gathered two or three miles away.

"Xiaocheng Taibao, all the ships are ready, please also ask Xiaocheng Taibao..." Wu Zhonglang will come to Cheng Sanlang and report loudly.

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few coughs forcefully, and Cheng Chubi's face turned dark.

In my heart, I almost launched a trash talk offensive against this shameless elder who doesn't talk about martial arts.

Qi Wang Li Ke also had a dozen bright mirrors in his heart, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Li Ji, the governor of Qingzhou, Shi Wen.

"Yinggong is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Today, I am going to test fire the new weapons of the Tang Dynasty. I also invite Yinggong to preside over it."

"Since it is the Commander's order, the old man dares to disobey his order, pass on my order, and fire at the target ship, all of them!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yiqian, who had already loaded the bombs and picked up the thick incense with the thickness of his fingers, was ready to go. Hearing this order was very different from the previous order.

After hesitating for a while, they still ignited various manipulated artillery one after another.

The elites of the Dengzhou Navy of the Tang Dynasty who were watching two or three miles away followed the loud noise that shook the world.

I saw the sides of the three gunboats, gushing out puffs of thick white smoke, like a transformed demon, covering the side of the three gunboats.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the dilapidated building ship that was swaying on the sea trembled crazily, as if a switch had been accidentally pressed, or a sudden epilepsy.

The tremor has not yet ended, clusters of orange-red light clusters wrapped in thick smoke suddenly burst out from inside and outside the dilapidated ship...

The loud noise that was even more palpitating than before was endless, and although the ship was very dilapidated, the main structure of the building was still relatively solid, in the eyes of all observers.

As the flames rose and fell, the flying fragments raged in the cabin and beside the ship, sweeping away all obstacles.

And at the front part of the ship, several flowering bombs exploded almost at the same time, and the huge power produced directly exploded the hull of the ship.

A huge hole, big enough to pass a carriage, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Although the round of shelling did not take long, after the shelling ended, raging flames ignited everywhere on the big ship.

The hull with the huge breach only lasted for a dozen breaths in the raging flames, before it broke with an unpleasant creaking sound.

The bow and the hull of the ship broke into two pieces, and while burning with raging flames, it slowly sank towards the depths of the deep sea...

"..." Wu Zhonglang grinned exaggeratedly, staring dumbfounded at the dilapidated building ship, which fell apart after a salvo and died on the bottom of the sea.

#####

After a short time, on the sea, only those broken planks, rags, and sail fragments were left swaying on the sea surface, and there were even a little lingering flames and green smoke lingering around.

Li Ji watched all this with a blank face, the corners of his eyes were always twitching, and the corners of his mouth kept grinning.

In the sleeves that no one noticed, Li Ji rubbed his fingers, letting the beard that was accidentally pulled out just now due to excessive shock fall to the ground freely.

On the other hand, Li Ke gave Cheng Chubi a thumbs up with a look of reason~lightnovelpub.net~.

"Brother Chu Bi, that's not bad. To be able to sink such a huge ship with a single salvo from such a long distance."

"If there is an enemy coming to the sea, if our Tang Dynasty fights it with gunboats, we will be able to wipe out all the bandits at sea."

Li Ke hadn't finished boasting triumphantly when he heard Chai Lingwu not far away solemnly sigh.

"Brother Chu Bi can have such a wonderful idea, it's really amazing. But on this sea, if there is bad weather, what should we do?"

"Look at these gunboats, although they are placed below the deck, they are leaky on all sides, so they must not be able to block the wind and rain."

"I said, Old Chai, if you don't understand, don't be silly. This is not a gunboat specially designed to use these artillery. It's normal to have loopholes. Why, you still want to show off, make a proposal, and continue to make more credit later. right?"

"..."
