Chapter 409 Chen Youliang's Determination
Fang Qiang nodded knowingly, he knew that the range of those cannons must be far enough without thinking about it.

In fact, Fang Qiang also thought about casting modern artillery, but the artillery shell is a technical barrier that cannot be broken after all!
What Fang Qiang is researching is the kind of explosive shells that can explode. Solid round shells like Chen Youliang's are really meaningless. They won't explode once fired, and the destructive power is limited after all!
But one thing cannot be denied, the range of this kind of cannon is quite far, already comparable to Fang Qiang's eight-ox crossbow!

Fang Qiang's warships are all baby bumps. He didn't want to be devastated by these big iron balls, so he decided to postpone the attack.

Looking at the tall water fortress in front of him, Fang Qiang was also worried. He had two main strategic purposes for this attack. The first was to let the Jinling Navy have some experience. After all, they were new recruits and had no serious experience in fighting. They must have It is the whole person.

The second is to lure Chen Youliang to fight, and then lure him to Poyang Lake to kill him on the spot!

Now, Chen Youliang put on a posture of guarding against death, and in addition to Zhao Pusheng's defeat just now, he will not attack even more!
Fang Qiang must find a way to lure them out.

"Feiyu, from your current position, are you sure you can defeat the opponent's camp?"

"Brother Qiang, this distance is too far, it's out of range..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just say whether you can hit it!"

Hearing this, Flying Fish calculated the distance again, and then said: "Brother Qiang, I can't hit every shot at this distance, let's go halfway!"

"Half-open? That's 50%? Fuck it!"

While speaking, Fang Qiang took out his telescope and handed it to Feiyu without hesitation, "Boy, haven't you always wanted this telescope? Here it is! Hit me hard!"

"Hey hey..." Flying Fish smiled happily after taking the telescope from Fang Qiang's hand. It is a good thing. Until now, only senior officers at the division commander level are eligible to equip it. He is just a captain, so he has no chance to get it!
Flying Fish took the binoculars and fiddled with them carefully. He was surprised to find that the cross scale in his field of vision could be used to measure the distance. In almost a moment, he determined the straight-line distance from here to the water village, which is 1024 meters !
This distance is already beyond the range of the Eight Ox Crossbow, but now that the wind is tailwind, it may not be impossible to hit.

Flying Fish re-measured the wind speed, and then calculated the twist length of the medicine. Finally, he adjusted the elevation angle of the Eight Bull Crossbow to 45 degrees.According to the principle of parabola, the crossbow bolts fired at this angle will have a maximum range!
Feiyu also participated in the artillery training class at the Ming Military Academy. The cultural classes were so-so, but he learned the parabola section very carefully, so he is now very comfortable in applying it.

After everything was ready, Flying Fish pressed the firing mechanism without hesitation, and the crossbow arrows traced a graceful arc in the air, and finally landed on the water village.

bang...

The power of the explosion of the dynamite package shook the heavens and the earth, killing more than a dozen soldiers at the top of the city in just one blow.However, there are still some deviations. He heard from Flying Fish that he was aiming at the handsome flag's position, but he didn't expect that the crossbow exploded fifty steps away from it.

In fact, this is unavoidable at all. The wind on the river is strong, and the ups and downs of the blowing are erratic. The error of fifty steps is quite good!

"Okay! Flying Fish, just hit like this! Crossbow arrows can be made with strength, don't save me!"

"Brother Qiang, don't worry, leave everything to me!"

Flying Fish agreed, and then excitedly manipulated the Eight Bull Crossbow.

"Give me the order..." Fang Qiang waved his hand, and there was an extra telescope on the deck. Then he pointed at the more than 100 entry-level gadgets and said, "All the artillerymen have heard clearly. Take a photo of the opposite side for me." It's Shuizhai who hits hard, as long as you hit, you will be rewarded with a telescope!"

After Fang Qiang's order was conveyed, all the artillerymen were excited. Telescopes are quite precious, especially those issued by the Wu Kingdom.Not only can you see far, but you can also see clearly. It is simply a weapon for artillery to fire!
More than 100 telescopes were quickly evenly distributed among the ten warships. The main gunners and deputy gunners of each battleship were all gearing up. Wu Guogong has already ordered, and there are such generous rewards, so let's do it!

Whoosh...

Boom boom boom...

For a while, gunfire raged across the wide river, and the scene caused by nearly a hundred eight-ox crossbow salvos was truly spectacular. The smoke from the explosion rose into the sky, and it was still clearly visible even more than ten miles away!
After five rounds of shelling, Chen Youliang's water village was already in a mess.In fact, there were not many shells that actually hit. Most of the crossbow bolts exploded on the river. After all, not all gunners are as good as Feiyu.

However, experience can be accumulated. After a few rounds of strikes, most of the gunners have mastered the tricks of over-range attacks, so the hit rate has increased a lot in the sixth round of shelling!
Chen Youliang on the water village hid under the thick rock mass, and through the observation hole the size of a window, he gritted his teeth and watched the ten warships on the river.

"This damn Fang Qiang, he is using my water village to train soldiers!"

Chen Youliang is a man with outstanding strategies. He probably guessed Fang Qiang's intentions during the fourth round of shelling. He also heard about it when the Jinling Navy was established, but at that time he was busy competing with Wang Baobao for territory, so he had no time. Nan Gu!

Besides, it will take at least ten years to build a strong navy.So he didn't care about the Jinling Navy at all!

I never expected that Fang Qiang’s navy would grow to this point in a short period of time!

In a navy, the most important thing is those veterans who have seen blood. Therefore, after this battle, the Jinling Navy will soar into the sky!
At that time, Fang Qiang can expand this navy army by ten times casually!
Chen Youliang didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the navy he was proud of was about to be replaced by the other party, and by then, he would lose a large piece of land in the Yangtze River Basin.He will also lose the qualification to compete for world hegemony!

Chen Youliang couldn't tolerate such a thing happening, so he had to eat up the ten warships in front of him!And at any cost!

"Pass down the order to load the cannon of General Shenwu, and I will fight to the death with Fang Qiang's navy!"

Chen Youliang gave the order without hesitation, but an old general behind him fell to his knees with a plop, "King of Han, no, the casting technology of General Shenwu's cannon is not perfect enough, and nine out of ten cannons will explode... ..."

puff!

The old general couldn't go on talking here, because Chen Youliang stabbed him to death with a sword.

"The old thing that confuses the morale of the army, pull it out for me!"

Chen Youliang put the sword back into its scabbard, and there was determination in his eyes besides indifference.Why didn't he know the disadvantages of Shenwu General Pao, but at this time, he couldn't tolerate any hesitation.
