Great Song Pirate

Chapter 375 Thunder God's Roar

When the Leigong Cannon roared, these unprepared people were suddenly stunned. They all felt the buzzing in their ears, and opened their mouths for a long time, not knowing what happened.

Xu Yi didn't care about the stunned people, and immediately ordered: "Reload, solid bullets are ready, multi-layer wooden targets in front of the target!"

The ten guards who were in charge of operating the cannon immediately cooperated with the measured efforts to push the Leigong cannon back to the place where it was fired for the first time, quickly poured some water into the barrel, and then quickly inserted the cannon brush into the barrel to wipe the cannon. Then start loading again, the movement is very skillful and smooth, without any confusion, this is the result of their non-stop practice during this period, if this kind of artillery is installed in the Fubo army, then their personal guards will become the first The instructors of the batch of artillery, everyone is basically a qualified trainer now, so everyone rehearsed the whole process of operating the artillery very skillfully, making people look as smooth as flowing water, and even feel that their movements have a kind of A strange beauty.

While they were reloading again, Xu Yi waved to those who were still in a daze and shouted: "Don't be in a daze! Everyone, come with me and look at the targets in front of you!"

At this time, the brothers came back to their senses, and followed Xu Yi to the target group erected a mile away. Wang Feng quarreled with the brothers around him while walking: "My God, this thunder cannon The sound is too loud! My old Wang’s ears are still buzzing!”

"Stop talking about you! I still feel dizzy!" Diao Bin said shaking his head.

"What did you say? Why didn't I hear what you said clearly?" Fang Shu rubbed his ears vigorously and asked them.

"It's broken! It's deaf! It's broken now! Why can't I hear anything clearly?" The water cat also shook its head and shouted at them, with a terrifyingly loud voice, as if it was afraid that everyone would not be able to hear it.

Kong Qingxi's face was still a little pale up to now, and he patted his chest and said to the others with lingering fear: "This Leigong Cannon is really like thunder! I still feel flustered, and the movement of this thing is too loud! I Let alone using it to scare people, even if it is used to scare people, it can scare people to death!"

Because Xu Yi didn't remind everyone just now, this group of people feel a little dizzy at the moment, the reason why Xu Yi did this is to give everyone a shock, and of course the appearance of this epoch-making weapon requires a shocker. The debut ceremony, this is something he has already prepared, and it still has a somewhat childlike taste when he said it. He deliberately wanted to play a prank to shock everyone. Li Bo and Daniel followed behind, and the two guys looked at everyone. They all had smirks, but they knew how powerful this cannon was. The first time Xu Yi tried to fire the cannon, the two of them were shocked just like these people. Now Finally it was their turn to read other people's jokes, and the two became Xu Yi's staunch accomplices.

Xu Yi led the crowd to the thick wooden target that had been laid in advance. Xu Yi pointed to the target and said to the crowd: "Just now, the Lei Gong Cannon was filled with small iron pellets weighing four catties, and we also called them shotguns." , everyone can take a look at the power of this shotgun!"

Everyone immediately followed what Xu Yi pointed out, and looked at these targets one after another. When they saw these wooden targets clearly, cold sweat flowed from their foreheads, because they saw that the dozen or so targets seemed to have been splashed by a torrential rain. Generally speaking, it is covered with densely packed small holes, some of which have even been pierced to form a small transparent hole, and more iron pellets are deeply embedded in the thick wood, if there are people standing here , I am afraid that after this bombardment, it will be very difficult for anyone here to escape and ascend to heaven. They must all be blasted into a sieve. This way of death is a bit too terrifying. After seeing the result clearly, everyone can't help but start to click their tongues. Once again, I was completely shocked by the huge power of this Thunder Cannon.

Gao Jun hilariously pulled out a small knife from his waist, lay down on the target, and forcefully dug out an iron pellet from it, held it in his hand and said, "This thing is so powerful! Dig one out as a souvenir. I absolutely love this Thunder Cannon! Who wants it? I'll dig one out for you too!"

As a result, everyone immediately despised it, and Yang Zaixing asked Xu Yi expectantly: "My lord said just now that the Thunder Cannon is a lethal weapon in naval warfare. I would like to ask, is this something for our infantry?"

"Yes, yes! This good thing can't be without us!" Gao Jun immediately followed Yang Zaixing and yelled at Xu Yi after hearing this.

Regardless of the fact that everyone is not very familiar with Gao Jun, when they said this, Shui Mao and the other navy leaders immediately became impatient, and shouted at Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun, "This is impossible! I can't give you all the good things. The honeycomb rocket just now belongs to you, and the Katyusha rocket also belongs to you. We watched it for a long time and left it to us. We can’t give it all to you. If we give it to you again, we will really turn our backs! This matter will not work out of the sky!..."

Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun were not good at bothering each other, and they immediately fought back and said, "It can't be said that this is what we want! It was given to us by the lord on his own initiative, not to mention that the lord on your ship has prepared a large number of ballistas for you. That thing But without our infantry, this Lei Gongpao can’t do without us!”

And the water cats and the other naval commanders were impatient when they heard it, and clamored with their arms and sleeves: "We are not trying to compete with you for this thunder cannon, but the lord has already said that this is a sharp weapon in naval warfare. Equipping our navy, you can't take all the cheap infantry, right? The benefits are always reserved for our navy, right? This matter is absolutely non-negotiable, even talking about the horizon!"

It was so lively now, a group of people surrounded Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun and howled, as if they would turn against Yang Zaixing and the others if they were not equipped with the Thunder Cannon, they looked at Xu Yi in a daze, thinking This infantry army has not been formally established, and the navy and infantry have fought like this. It is no wonder that the navy and army of many countries in later generations are always at odds. The two parties have been enemies since ancient times!

"Shut up!" Xu Yi yelled, flailing his arms.

As soon as everyone heard Xu Yi yelling, they quickly shut up and bowed to Xu Yi: "My lord, forgive me!..."

Xu Yi smiled wryly and said, "Why do you guys see all the good things as bloody as mosquitoes, how can there be any brotherhood? I haven't said how to arrange the distribution of artillery, you just want to do it Now, if I come up with some good things in the future, won't you tear me up and eat me? How decent?" After speaking, Xu Yi made an angry look.

Seeing Xu Yi's unkind expression, everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, expressing that they would not dare to commit the crime again.

Seeing everyone's silent expression, Xu Yi smiled secretly before saying: "You don't have to fight for this kind of thunder cannon, you will give you what is due to you, both the navy and the infantry will be equipped, and no one can lose you! The two-wheeled artillery cart just now was originally used by the infantry, while the naval army will be equipped with a four-wheeled trolley-style Leigong cannon. The artillery used by the two armies is fundamentally different in terms of the carriage, and the method of use is also very different. , no matter how much you fight, whoever should give it will still be given to whom, if anyone dares to use the navy infantry to fight for equipment, be careful, I will let you paddle a sampan to fight with others in the future! Hmph!"

Although Xu Yi said these words in a reprimanding tone, everyone showed joy on their faces. It turned out that Xu Yi had made arrangements a long time ago. If they had known earlier, what would they be fighting for?Anyway, both have a share, as long as they are indispensable!Everyone's faces were full of joy.

Xu Yi led the crowd back to the Leigong Pao, and ordered someone to open a cannon cart again, revealing a bronze cannon in the form of a four-wheeled trolley underneath, and then said to the crowd: "This kind of Leigong Cannon in the form of a four-wheeled trolley It is what is equipped on the ship. Basically, it is used for bombardment near the side at a fixed angle. There are also many kinds of shells. On land, mules and horses are used to move and use, which is convenient for maneuvering. This has been considered for you a long time ago. Today I will tell you that although our Fubo Army now has the theory of navy and infantry, you must not Criticize each other and fight for power. For us, the two armies are complementary to each other. Neither of them can do without the other. Our goal is to attack from sea to land. Neither of your two armies can exert full combat power without it. Although the water army is powerful, your strength is definitely not enough to land and fight, and the infantry has left the water army, how useful can you be here? To put it bluntly, you two armies have their own specialties. The water army controls the sea. To clear the obstacles for the infantry to land, to ensure the safety of the infantry before landing, and the infantry will use your advantages to land and attack the enemy in depth, now you should understand the purpose of my formation of the infantry, right?"

Everyone nodded quickly, bowed and said: "Understand! I am ashamed!"

After seeing that everyone was subdued by his lesson, Xu Yi continued: "This is the end of this matter, and it must not be repeated in the future. Let's continue to look down!"

This time everyone learned how to behave. When they saw Xu Yi ordering to fire, they quickly covered their ears, so as not to be shocked by the huge cannon sound again this time. After the artillery was ignited, the ground violently shook again. It shook, and the bronze cannon slammed back again, saw sawdust flying on the heavy wooden target in the distance, and saw that the several-inch-thick wooden board was immediately blasted out by solid iron bullets. A hole the size of a washbasin was opened, and everyone clicked their tongues again, yelling in their hearts, if this bomb hits the enemy ship, you don't need to think about what will happen to the opponent. The ship is a little thinner, I'm afraid it can't stand it After a few bombardments, it will be blown to pieces!When everyone looked at this terrifying Lei Gong Pao again, their eyes became more intense, and they wished they could rush over to hug it and kiss it fiercely. These warriors simply loved this Lei Gong Pao to death!

These people used to think that their ballista was the most powerful thing, but after seeing the power of this bronze artillery today, they immediately fell in love with this terrifying thing, and they wished to put all the guns on their ships immediately. After installing this thing, a group of gentlemen surrounded the copper cannon that was still exuding warmth, and they couldn't put it down, touching it non-stop.

Seeing their expressions, Xu Yi laughed from the bottom of his heart, called everyone over and said to them: "I know you will definitely like this guy, but I want to tell you that this kind of thunder cannon is very easy to make. Expensive, the barrels are all made of bronze, and the workmanship is very sophisticated, and the usual operation is also very troublesome, as you have all seen, if you want to equip a lot of equipment, we do not have the ability at present, so you should not Too high expectations. So far, the ballista equipped on our ship has no rivals, and for the opponent's ships, the effect of the fierce fuel oil bombs we are currently using is not worse than this thunder gun, so our navy The current main battle equipment will mainly be ballistas. This kind of copper cannon will only be equipped with the ships of your commanders as our trump card. Reinforce the deck, otherwise, with the current strength of the deck on our ship, after a few shots, the deck might be shattered, so this is why I asked you to bring all the ships here, starting tomorrow, Your ships will be handed over to Gong Zhen for reinforcement, and then artillery will be placed on your ships, and you will each select some capable ballistas from the ships and hand them over to Li Bo, who will arrange for instructors to teach them how to operate the guns skills, this matter must be completed as soon as possible before you can take your ship back to your squadron, do you all remember?"

The water cats and the other leaders of the water army were overjoyed and thanked immediately. Although not every ship can equip them with such sharp weapons, they are already very satisfied that Xu Yi can equip their ships with this thunder cannon. For one thing, at least their ship has basically become a symbol of invincibility at sea. With a ship equipped with thunder cannons, they really don't have any terrible opponents anymore!
Then Xu Yi demonstrated a newly developed chain bomb launch to them. The two halves of the iron bullets flew like sharp blades and easily cut off the set sail rope. Such an attack is really a kind of attack for water warfare. A very effective sharp weapon that once again opened the eyes of everyone.
