"Boom boom boom..." The Charge had just completed its rudder turning and drove forward less than a chain. Sixteen iron balls shot out from the naval gun, flew more than fifty feet, and splashed water columns more than ten meters high on the sea surface.

When they heard the sound of cannons, smoke from gunpowder, and iron balls and water columns, everyone on the charge was shocked. They had never seen such a weapon.

Not only the sailor, but also Lan Bing was surprised and several breaths were heard. His eyes were staring at the water column at the stern of the boat, and his little head was running rapidly. In addition to being frightened, Lan Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

What a great thing, but it is not as terrible as imagined. From the position of the water column, you can see that the accuracy of this long-range weapon is quite poor. Sixteen iron balls were fired from the same battleship, with a huge difference in position.

Lan Bing judged within a few breaths that this weapon won by quantity. No matter how powerful it is, it is useless to shoot inaccurately.

The bed crossbow is naturally not so scary, but the shooting range is farther than the iron ball and has higher accuracy. The reason why I didn't start shooting is to ensure the hit rate.

The crossbow on the warship is very different from the crossbow on the land battle. This difference is not on the crossbow, but on the crossbow gun.

When fighting at sea, we naturally cannot rely on soldiers to charge in groups. Each sailor has his own position. Unless it is a battle on the sidelines, from a distance, there are not many sailors on the ship and they are very scattered, so the lethality of the crossbow gun itself cannot kill a few people.

The lethality of warship crossbows mainly comes from tinder oil. Each crossbow gun has a special oil tank. Before firing, it is filled with tinder oil and fired after ignition. With the force of the crossbow gun, it is not that easy to pull it out as long as it is shot on the enemy ship.

A crossbow gun that is nearly a foot long can be shot into the city wall several feet deep, and people can step on the arrow shaft to climb the wall. Three or five strong men may not be able to pull it out even if they work hard together.

The oil in the oil tank flows along the oil tank to the ship and burns a raging fire. This is the greatest damage to the enemy ship.

The reason is very simple. The ships of this era, whether they are warships, fishing boats, or merchant ships, are all made of wood. Even if the fireproof layer is applied to the hull, the fireproof effect is very average.

"Continue to move forward and get closer." Lan Bing gritted his teeth and ordered that in fact, at this distance, the crossbow could be fired. The problem is that the northern naval army has been slack in its military equipment and has basically never trained it. The Charge has only been well in the past few months. Although it is fully equipped, the crossbowman has not shot a few arrows, and Lan Bing is worried about them.

In addition, Lan Bing took a risk and saw the firing speed of the iron ball of the Austrian warship. If the speed was too fast, Lan Bing turned around and fled. The Charge had been modified several times. I dare not say anything else. When it was empty, the speed was definitely the fastest battleship of the Northern Navy.

From the reaction of the Ao Ren, she could see that people were unwilling to pay attention to him, so they only divided three warships, and the large fleet continued to rush towards the coastline, which was grabbing time.

He counted silently in his heart, and Liuzi reminded: "Captain Xiaolan, an iron pipe is coming out of the hole."

"Turn left and slow down."

The Charge is a member of the Northern Navy, so there is no question of training. However, in the past six months, he has to go out to sea to fish every day, and his skills in boat racing have not been lost, but have improved compared to when the old captain was there.

As soon as Lan Bing ordered, the hull began to tilt, and the bow of the ship was to the left, and the warship was pulled at its tail by a strongman, and its speed dropped by a fraction.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

This time, there were two rows of iron balls, which flew over the first time from the Charge, and another ship of the Aoist also rushed over.

After half an incense stick, Lan Bing felt more at ease. The iron ball was launched at a very slow speed and there were obvious signs. As long as you find that the iron pipe stretched out from the port hole of the ship first, you can prevent it in advance.

In fact, the iron cannon that fires solid bullets not only has a slow firing speed, but also has a very low accuracy. It is more than twenty feet away. Whether it can hit the target depends on the experience of the sailor, and the other half can only rely on luck.

Thirty feet, this distance is OK.

"Single-row crossbow launches, target 1, 11, enemy sails."

With a command, eighteen crossbow guns flew towards the Austrian warship with raging flames. The crossbow on the warship was a large crossbow, with one crossbow and three guns, and six bed crossbows. Eighteen crossbows could be fired at one time.

The distance of thirty feet was very close to the large crossbow. The crossbowman on the Charge was as unregulated as Lan Bing had imagined. At such a close distance, only half of the crossbow guns shot on the enemy ship. As for the sails that Lan Bing cares most, they were shot empty.

"Turn right rudder...accelerate..." Lan Bing stared at the enemy ship tightly. Liuzi observed the port opening of the ship. When the iron pipe was pushed out, he immediately reminded him.

"Boom boom boom..."

The charge hull trembled violently, and several screams came into his ears. Lan Bing held back and didn't turn around to look.

"Double row of crossbows fire, damage the tube, and save people." Since childhood, she grew up listening to the story of naval battles, Lan Bing was extremely calm at this time.

In fact, she understood that when she was a child, she heard stories about naval wars told by her father and uncle, which were actually lies. In the past three hundred years, the Great Chu had never experienced serious naval wars. The most powerful enemy was the overlord of the North Sea 150 years ago. In fact, it was just a boy pirate. When it was the most powerful, there were only more than 30 warships. Not to mention comparing with the Southern Navy, even the Northern Navy could easily destroy him.

Although these stories are fake, Ke Lanbing learned a lot from the stories, and she grew up on warships since she was a child, and her understanding of the Charge is as familiar as her own body.

"I'm hit..." Cheers came from my ears. The sails of the Ao people's warship were ignited. The crossbow gun easily shot through the sail, but left a large amount of tincture oil. The burning tincture oil flowed down the sail. This kind of fire was not saved, but I could only watch the sails turned into ashes in a very short time.

In the age of sails, sails are speed, and the speed of the Austrian warships is significantly slower.

"By around it." Lan Bing continued to order.

"Report Loss." The second order is issued.

The Charge began to accelerate, drawing a perfect arc on the sea, bypassing the Aoman battleship with damaged sails.

There is not only one sail on the warship, one main and three deputy, and eight small sails. Burning the main sail can only slow down the speed of the warship. But it doesn't matter. At this time, there were dozens of crossbow guns that shot the enemy ship, and the burning tincture oil flowed everywhere. The warship temporarily lost its combat power, so there was no need to worry about it.

"I shot eight iron balls, the ship's side was damaged, the waterline was fine, six people died, twelve were injured, and four dogs were injured, so I'm afraid I won't last long."

Lan Bing's eyes turned red. Most of the sailors on the ship were old men. They were all uncles who grew up. Although they were noisy, she felt sorry for anyone who died or injured. There was no way. Who told the Lan family to be a naval military clerk, and her father died and her son Cheng, even a fourteen-year-old girl, held up the charge.

Is there no one in the Northern Navy?

There are really not many people, two-thirds less than the people on the list of the Great Chu War Department. Those who have a way have already run away. Who is hanging here and can't even have a full meal? Who is willing to live this life?

"Single-row reloading is complete!"

In fact, the fire rate of the bed crossbow is not fast, which is similar to the front-mounted cannon. The bed crossbow on the warship is slower than that in land battles. It not only has to be skewed, but also has to be filled with tinder oil. This job is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, it will flow to the deck and it will easily burn yourself. Even if you prepare sand, no one wants to burn yourself.

"The stern of the target enemy ship No. 2, the sails are launched!"

"Right rudder is full, extremely fast." Lan Bing issued an order that everyone could not understand. This had already bypassed most of the enemy ships. He was about to catch up with the enemy ship No. 2 and the enemy ship No. 3 were still sixty feet away. When he was about to pursue him, how could he turn the rudder?

"Boom..." A loud bang came, and a fireball on the enemy ship No. 1 rose into the air. Seeing the enemy ship No. 1 breaking into two pieces and sinking rapidly. The sailors on the ship jumped into the sea regardless of concern and swam desperately into the distance.

"It's so good, Captain Xiaolan is so good."

Lan Bing was stunned for a moment. She asked the Charge to turn the rudder. She didn't guess that there would be such an explosion. She was worried that there would be weapons that could fire iron balls on the other side of the No. 1 ship. Who would have thought that the enemy No. 1 ship exploded by itself.

Fire is very important for naval battles, especially warships using gunpowder weapons. If they cannot control the fire and ignite the powder barrel, they will be doomed without enemy attacks. The explosion of gunpowder is much more powerful than tinder oil burning.

Lan Bing is lucky, and with the Charge several modifications, otherwise those iron projectiles will make the originally ragged Charge fall into a trap.

"Double row loading is completed!" The crossbowman shouted with red eyes, his voice breaking. They saw the tragic death of their brothers and also saw the results achieved under the command of Captain Xiaolan.

After all, they were all navy soldiers. After seeing the blood, they became very murderous and wanted to rush into the enemy's fleet and kill them all.

"The right rudder is full, the coastline is parallel, and the speed is full!" Lan Bing was very calm. She knew that it was time to escape. She had such a result. The casualties were not very large. She made a profit this time.

"Boom..." Countless iron sand swept across the deck of the charge, screaming one after another, and the sails were riddled with holes...

Liuzi's reaction was very fast. Although he was not strong in fighting and killing enemies, he had good eyesight and quick reaction. When he felt something was wrong, he pressed Lan Bing and pressed her under him.

Lan Bing was covered in blood. When she struggled to get up, the charge was like purgatory. The sailors on the deck were killed or injured, and almost everyone survived were injured.

When the Charger wants to achieve perfect merit and withdraw from the battlefield, his luck is exhausted, and three grape bullets swept across the deck, and even the command room is not spared.

At this time, even the command room was not completely closed. It was also a wooden structure and had almost zero defense against shells.

This is just a distance. If it is ten feet closer, there will probably be few living people on the Charge deck.

Wooden sailboats, even warships, have very few people under the cabin, and most of them are on the deck.

"Accelerate, evacuate at full speed." Lan Bing felt the pain in his arms. What's even more terrifying was that Liu Zi was lying there motionlessly, and blood was coming out of his body.

Like fountains!
