Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 88 Desperate
"How to do?"

This situation made many people anxious.

"Change the bombs, let's kill them back."

Under such a situation, Zhang Chao made a decision immediately.

The back road is blocked, and there is only a dead end to continue to retreat downstream. Instead of this, it is better to fight back when Sun Quan's naval fleet is not concentrated, and fight out from the other end.

Under Zhang Chao's order, the Youzhou quickly turned around, and then rushed towards the direction of Sun Quan's fleet.

At the same time, in the cabin, the artillery that had replaced the shells with flowering shells also fired.

Boom boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom boom!
Blossom bullets are the latest shells developed by Youzhou, which use wooden bullet holders and wooden conical fuze tubes.

The wooden bullet holder not only allows the effective sealing gas to leak out, but also acts as a buffer for the shell when fired

The wooden conical fuze tube can play a delayed explosion effect.

The principle of this fuze tube is very simple. A wooden tube has holes at both ends and contains gunpowder that can burn slowly.

This fuze tube is generally inserted in the front of the shell, and when the shell is launched, because the gun caliber is greater than the diameter of the shell.

Therefore, when the propellant explodes, part of the flame will seep from the gap between the shell and the barrel to the front of the shell, which can ignite the fuse exposed outside the shell.

It is also very simple to control the explosion time, look at the distance from the enemy, and then let the fuze be inserted deep or shallow.

Deeper fuses burn longer.

A shallow fuse burns directly from half of the fuse or shorter, so it explodes quickly.

In the first round of shelling, because some guns did not adjust the burning time of the fuze, the shells passed through the enemy's ship like solid bullets.

Overall, the blooming rounds work surprisingly well.

As long as the ship is hit by a flower bomb and explodes inside, it is fine if it is a large ship, but if it is a warship, the violent explosion can directly make it fall apart and sink.

What is unexpected is that a shell exploded in the water near a building boat, and achieved unexpected results. It directly tore a huge hole in the bottom of the boat, and quickly entered the river water. It sank quickly.

When a shell explodes in water, its destructive power is more powerful than that in the air. This is the effect of sea mines and torpedoes. During World War II, thousands of tons of ironclad ships could not withstand a single torpedo with such an explosion effect.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom !
Soon, the second round of flowering shells was fired, and the effect of this round was better than the previous round. This time, the 20 rounds of shells directly sank two warships that could carry more than [-] people and one A battleship capable of carrying hundreds of people.

Although two building ships were also hit by explosive bombs, this kind of ship is too big, and if it didn't hit the waterline, it basically wouldn't have much effect.

This kind of building ship has several floors and can accommodate hundreds or thousands of people. It is an out-and-out big guy, and its volume is only a little smaller than that of the Youzhou.

If the Youzhou and Sun Quan's navy were in close combat, the biggest threat to the Youzhou would undoubtedly be this kind of high-rise ship, because the high-rise ship is so tall that it can jump directly onto the deck of the Youzhou.

And such as 艨艟 and Doujian, because they are too short, it is difficult to jump to help.

In any case, the Youzhou is also a large ship with two decks. It has enough height and cannot be bullied by small ships.

After the Youzhou fired two rounds of shells, the whole ship rushed hundreds of meters into the Sun Quan fleet.

The back road was blocked, and the Youzhou could only hope to pass through the gap of Sun Quan's fleet.

On the deck of the Youzhou, more than 100 soldiers in plate armor are ready for the enemy to jump into the gang, and they are guaranteed to be able to kill one by one.

After all, the ship is not on land, and there is no way for the enemy to jump too many people at once.

Bang!
However, it is not the same as imagined.When the Youzhou was rushing over, Sun Quan's naval ships seemed to be desperate, even if they collided with the Youzhou, they would also block the progress of the Youzhou.

Card wipe!
The Youzhou collided with a fighting ship, and the next moment, there was only a click, and the fighting ship was directly hit by the Youzhou and fell apart.

The Youzhou is protected by armor, and the keel inside is reinforced with steel beams, which is not comparable to ordinary wooden ships.

But even so, when the two ships collided, the huge resistance still made the Youzhou stand still.

Just during this pause, countless ships rammed towards the Youzhou ship desperately.

"Turn around, retreat back."

Seeing such a situation, Zhang Chao had no choice but to quickly issue an order to retreat.

The Youzhou made a sharp turn, narrowly dodging before all the ships hit it.

"It's over, I can't rush over."

After experiencing the scene just now on the Youzhou, some people became pessimistic.

"Brother, what should I do now?"

"What should I do? Fight."

"Give me an order to prepare the shotguns. Get close to the people who hit the boat with the shotguns. Even if you die, you have to pull more backs." Zhang Chao said ruthlessly.

It's just that while he was talking, two lines of clear tears had quietly left in the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, he blamed himself and remorse very much. All of this was because he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and he wanted to kill everyone.

The current situation is already incomprehensible, and it is too difficult to go upstream. The Sun Quan navy ship is willing to use his own boat to hit the Youzhou, but also to prevent the Youzhou from advancing.

But less than a thousand meters downstream, several iron chains have blocked the river, and the Youzhou has become a turtle in a urn.

The only thing the Youzhou can do now is to use artillery shells to massacre the navy soldiers on the enemy ship while there is still a distance to maneuver.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom !

The sound of artillery rang continuously.

The Youzhou controlled by Zhang Chao kept a distance of less than [-] meters from the enemy ship, as if performing acrobatics.

what!what!what!
As the artillery on the Youzhou was replaced with shotgun shells, the countless screams on the opposite side began to continue.

The power of the shotgun is really terrifying. Even a projectile the size of a finger, under the huge kinetic energy of the artillery, can easily penetrate the wooden hull and hit the sailors inside.

Each cannonball can fire hundreds of projectiles, and a round of [-] cannons on one side can be tens of thousands.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Several cannons hit a building boat [-] meters away at the same time. After hearing a scream, everyone on the building boat panicked, and no one was rowing anymore. The building boat slowly lost power.

But the only downside was that the Youzhou was almost at the place where the iron chain Hengjiang was, after the shotgun had only fired three or four rounds.

"Brothers, change the armor and go to the deck. We will fight with Sun Quan of Gou Ri." On the Youzhou, Zhang Chao said to everyone except the gunner.

At this moment, I can only do my best.

"Junior brother, I have a task for you."

When everyone started to wear armor, Zhang Chao stopped a boy.

"Senior brother, what task do you want to give me?" The boy asked Zhang Chao.

"You take this gunpowder and hide in the ammunition depot. If we all die in battle and the enemy takes the Youzhou, I hope you can ignite the gunpowder in the ammunition depot. The Youzhou must not fall into the enemy's hands... ..."
