It'll be okay!

It will definitely not be worn!

Both Tropp and Davy Jones heard the sound of the shell hitting the ship's plank. Their hearts twitched, but their reason immediately told them that the sturdy Zealand Province could withstand it!

If the Chinese used about 30 pounds of shells to bombard the vital points of the Sealand Province, the two of them would not be sure, but 18 pounds... there would definitely be no problem, unless God is on the side of the Chinese today -

—In naval battles, luck is still very important! If the Chinese are lucky enough, the shells may fly directly into the gun cabin!

However, if the two of them could climb out of the butt of the Sealand Provincial Council and take a look, they would not be so calm, because there is actually a 15

A heavy bomb!

The cannonballs were pierced in the buttocks. If this battleship could talk, it would be screaming in pain right now!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the entire battleship trembled for a few times. However, it was not the Sealand's butt that exploded, but the first shot from the No. 1 gun bay of the Sealand, and a 40-pound wooden shell exploded.

It cut through the air and flew toward the Wuhan House, which was more than a thousand yards away.

The cannonball was not flying very fast, so that with the naked eye, one could still see a small black dot flying out at an extremely fast speed. Tropp and David Jones quickly followed it with their eyes, before they saw the cannonball.

After falling into the water (also knocked crookedly), the battleship under my feet suddenly shook violently, and then roared again!

What's going on?

The two Dutch naval officers were a little dizzy by the sudden vibration and roar. What was going on? Why was it so loud? It wasn't the sound of a cannon being fired. Could it be that it was exploding?

In fact, it wasn’t the chest that exploded, but the butt that exploded!

The fuse of the 15-pound explosive bomb nailed to the butt of the Sealand just burned out, igniting the black powder filled inside the shell. Although the power of the black powder deflagration is not comparable to that of the explosive explosion, five or six pounds of refined powder is quite

The power of the black powder explosion was not something that the oak board could withstand. Under the huge impact, the oak board with a thickness of more than a foot shattered on the spot and turned into countless small pieces of wood, roaring through the narrow space.

In the gun cabin, the soldiers of the two gun squads in the gun cabin had no place to hide. They were beaten to pieces by these flying wooden blocks. They didn't even have time to scream, and they were killed on the spot!

But this is only the beginning of the Zeeland disaster, there will be even more terrifying explosions to follow!

Because when the explosive bomb nailed to the butt of the Sealand just exploded, a 40-pound gun in the No. 7 gun cabin had just finished loading and had not had time to fire. Now there are fourteen artillerymen in the No. 7 gun cabin.

(Although there were two cannons, only one gun crew was in place, with a total of 14 people.) All of them were killed, and no one could ignite the cannon. They could only wait for the 40-pound shell to explode in the barrel.

.....

This was a big explosion that could kill half the life of the Zeeland! Not long after the starboard 40-pounder gun in the No. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 gun bays of the Zeeland completed firing

, a terrible big explosion occurred once again at the stern of the Zeeland Provincial Council.

This explosion was not at the same level as the previous explosion. It was a 40-pound explosive bomb! The huge explosion power turned the barrel of the 40-pound gun wrapped outside into a bomb shell, and the whole thing exploded.

Already.

Under the shock wave of the explosion, the fragments of the 40-pounder gun violently hit the oak baffles on both sides. The oak baffles could not withstand it and were immediately knocked out of a large hole. The broken wood pieces once again turned into

The murderous weapon rolled through the No. 6 gun cabin next door, killing and injuring more than half of the fourteen gunners inside. Although the power of the 40-pound shell explosion was powerful, it did not explode against the oak board after all, so it did not form

Due to the energy-gathering effect, the damage to the personnel in the No. 6 gun bay is not as powerful as that of a 15-pound shell.

However, the damage caused by this 40-pound shell to the hull of the Zeeland was severe. Not only did it completely destroy the No. 6 gun cabin, but it also blew a large hole in the floor of the No. 7 gun cabin and pierced the No. 7 gun cabin.

The baffle on the other side. Under the No. 7 gun compartment is the No. 7 ammunition compartment, which is filled with 40-pound explosive shells and powder packets!

Fortunately, the Dutch also learned the "water bottle fire extinguishing method" of the Ming Dynasty Navy. Before the naval battle began, they placed explosive bombs and gunpowder bags together with porcelain bottles filled with seawater and plugged with bottlenecks. Therefore, such 40 pounds of explosive bombs

The explosion shattered many porcelain bottles, and the flowing seawater wetted the explosive bombs and gunpowder, preventing a catastrophic explosion in time.

On the other side of the No. 7 gun room is the officer's kitchen, where dinner is being prepared, and the stove is lighting a fire. When the oak wall was blown through, several of the cooks inside died immediately, and the rest did not cook.

He grabbed his head and ran away without putting out the stove. As a result, the fire started in this small officer's kitchen...

The stern deck of the Zeeland was also in chaos at this time. The violent explosions and vibrations coming from under their feet knocked everyone to the ground.

Tropp and Davy Jones were also a little confused. What was going on? Why did it explode all at once? Was there an accident, or was it someone who penetrated the gun cabin with an 18-pound shell? This ship

Which shipyard made it? They didn't cut corners, right?

Because of the loading of explosives on board, today's bombardment gunboats all have command podiums surrounded by sandbags. The command podium of the Dutch warships was at the stern of the ship, and the command podium of the Ming Dynasty naval warships was at the bow.

Holding on to the sandbags on the command platform, Davy Jones climbed up first. He looked around and saw that the battleship was still sailing. There were no traces of bullets on the upper deck, but there was thick smoke coming out of the right side of the ship.

, if nothing else, a certain gun cabin should have been destroyed!

"Damn it... go and see what's going on?" He yelled at a panicked young officer who had just gotten up, "Go and have a look at the No. 7 gun bay!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

The man rolled away. At this time, Davy Jones saw that Tropp was being helped up, and he was holding his waist with one hand. He didn't know if he was broken?

"David, what's going on?" Tropp yelled when he saw Davy Jones - how do you teach students! Look at your students...with an 18-pounder gun handle as thick as

The gun bay was penetrated!

"I, I..." Davy Jones also looked innocent. He didn't know what happened? It must be bad luck, right? Maybe he really hit the gun window of the No. 7 gun cabin?

At this moment, another roar of explosive shells exploded, but it was not the Sealand Province that exploded, but a 500-ton warship behind the Sealand Province that exploded.

"Another, another ship..." Davy Jones's face turned blue.

Once is luck, twice is bound to happen, and you can still hit the gun window? How lucky is the gunner? How can he still be a gunner with such good luck?

The Ming Dynasty must have some new ammunition that can specifically hit the thick planks of battleships...

"Major General," Davy Jones's voice was trembling, "I think we underestimated our opponents! They must..."

"Hula! Hula..."

Before Davy Jones could say anything, the sailors on the deck of the Sealand Council cheered. It turned out that the Dutch fleet had made a mistake, and a 30-pound wooden shell fired by them hit the tall ship of the Flying Sea.

The poop, there was a big explosion inside. The poop of a Western-style battleship is usually a cabin for officers and sailors. It is not critical. It doesn't matter if you are hit by a few solid bullets or even hot arson bombs, but one shot is 30

The 100-pound explosive shells were so powerful that they blew up the butt of the Flying Ship in one go, and even set something on fire. The Flying Ship's butt was soon smoking, and it ended up with the Zeeland Provincial Council.

"Rear Admiral, we..." Davy Jones looked away and wanted to persuade Tropp to withdraw his troops, but he saw the Rear Admiral waving his hand at him.

"Colonel, it is now three to one, we have an absolute advantage!" Tropp said, "And we must show the ability and determination to withstand losses... Although the Chinese have a huge population and financial resources, the Dutch
Chapter completed!
