Chapter 462 Naval Battle 2
Chapter 462: Naval Battle 2
The sudden sound of artillery shocked many of the recruits who were preparing for it, but the shell was far from the Ming Dynasty navy, and at the same time, huge water columns were raised.
From this we can also see the difference in range of this high-strength cannon.
Jiang Lang has experienced too much about this kind of artillery, and compared with the cannons in the original society, the power of this cannon is nothing at all. So facing the sound of cannons coming from the enemy ships of the Komu Army and the water column rising from the sea, Jiang Lang standing on the deck was not shaken at all, and looked at the approaching Komu Army coldly.
"Sir, let's go back to the boat warehouse! It's too dangerous here!"
Deng Yuanjue said from the side that Kou Mujun's aggressive aura also forced him to care about Jiang Lang's safety. After all, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor now, and he would not be able to bear any mistakes.
Jiang Lang's face darkened and said, "Go back to Chuancang? What are you saying? My soldiers are fighting bloody outside. As the head coach, I want to go back to Chuancang to let me be the main general who escaped in the battle? I told me that I have not escaped while my soldiers are fighting hard!"
Jiang Lang was so strict that Deng Yuanjue was shocked and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
At the same time, Jiang Lang ignored this person and ordered: "Send the order. If a prosecutor leaves without authorization, he will be dismissed immediately!"
Although Jiang Lang could not dismiss a certain adult or general at will, these people really retreated at the last minute. Jiang Lang made a note and they could not escape the fate of being dismissed.
Jiang Lang's order was immediately notified to every warship. The generals on the warship did not react much. The biggest reaction was the soldiers. From a certain aspect, they also knew that their admiral was fighting with them, so their morale was shocked.
"Bang……!"
"Bang……!"
The ships of the Komu Army were still firing fires, but it was obvious that they undoubtedly had a threatening meaning. They were not very familiar with their weapons, so they started firing blindly without firing at range. The consequences were nothing more than the sound of the sound of the sea and the water columns that stirred up high.
As for the Ming Dynasty fleet, Jiang Lang did not give orders, so the artillery of the ships remained silent. While the ships kept a distance from the Komu Army, the gunners were nervously waiting for Jiang Lang's orders, and at the same time they kept adjusting the position of the artillery to keep them aimed at the Komu Army's fleet.
Finally, the sound of artillery from the Komu Army's ships stopped. Now the artillery is loading ammunition from the front, but it takes a lot of time.
Moreover, the distance is now within the range of the Ming artillery.
Finally, Jiang Lang's face darkened and he shouted: "Send all ships to aim at the waterline of the enemy warship and fire!"
"Bang……!"
"Bang……!"
The Ming Dynasty fleet finally began to roar, and bursts of fire spewed out from the side of the ship, targeting the location of the waterline of the Komu Army warship.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the best position to kill the enemy is undoubtedly to directly aim at the bridge and deck of the ship, where a large number of enemies have accumulated. However, Jiang Lang does not think so. The artillery equipped on the Ming Dynasty warships are now solid shells with a long range and can be used to siege cities. However, if used to hit people, it is obviously a bit like using anti-aircraft cannons to kill mosquitoes and does not have much effect. Therefore, Jiang Lang aims all the artillery at the waterline of the Komu Army ships. As long as a few big holes are made, it is undoubtedly fatal to ships with poor anti-sinking resistance. Once the ship sinks, even if the Komu Army that fell into the water does not kill them, they will be just a dead end in this vast sea.
However, for the current artillery technology, for those novice who don’t know ballistics and just started to get started, it is really difficult to hit the side of those ships.
As before, a huge sound came from the Koumu Army's ship. The shell was either far or near, and some luck fell on the enemy ship, and a huge hole was blown out. At the same time, a bad guy was killed by the shell.
Jiang Lang's face couldn't help but sink. If this continues, he will exhaust all the ammunition on the ship. It is estimated that the Mu army will not be able to defeat several of them. Moreover, the Mu army's ship is small, so it is likely to be a hand-to-hand combat. The new recruits of the Navy's army are obviously a little tender, so they jumped off the deck and headed straight for a cannon with ammunition loaded, shouting: "Let me do it!"
The soldier who was about to light the fire was stunned and quickly stopped the movement in his hand.
Jiang Lang took the torch, stood behind the cannon, squinted his eyes, glanced, estimated the speed of the ship and the speed of the ship opposite, and the wind direction, and ordered: "Rise the muzzle!"
The soldier immediately raised his muzzle according to Jiang Lang's wishes.
"stop!"
Jiang Lang shouted, and then the torch was a little at the tail of the cannon.
"Bang……!"
The cannon suddenly roared, and a ball of flame came out of the muzzle. Then, a wave of wood chips flew on the opposite Komu Army's ship, and a big hole was opened on the side of the ship. Many Komu Army's screams fell to the sea.
"I've hit it!"
The soldiers on the ship cheered and their morale suddenly rose.
Jiang Lang laughed. For him who is good at shooting, he knew how to adjust the shells in this way. Moreover, the relationship between the shooting angle and range of the shells was immediately clear, just like a sniper, who knew that when there was wind, he adjusted the shooting angle so as to hit the target.
After laughing, Jiang Lang immediately said, "Turn all the cannons on the ship to me!"
The soldiers immediately agreed in unison, and started to attack all the artillery that was not fixed on the deck to the side of the ship. The muzzles were aimed at the Mujun naval ship that was shot just now. There were several soldiers standing next to each cannon, responsible for adjusting the artillery according to Jiang Lang's wishes.
Jiang Lang held the cannon in his hand, aiming at each cannon and the target was the ship of the Komu Army opposite. With the banging sound, the ship of the Komu Army opposite suddenly bloomed, and wood chips flew. The Komu Army screamed and began to catch fire. After all, the shells were very hot, and now the materials for shipbuilding are basically wood.
After the artillery fire was completed, the soldier immediately reloaded the ammunition. After two rounds, the ships of the Komu Army on the opposite side were already riddled with holes, and the raging fire surrounded the entire ship. The Komu Army on the ship either jumped into the sea to escape or were burned to death, or were smashed to death by artillery shells.
He threw the torch in his hand to a soldier next to him. Jiang Lang laughed and said, "See you, just hit me like this, and knock all the turtle sons into the sea!"
A seemingly sketchy sentence made the soldiers feel that the general in front of them was closer to him. In addition, Jiang Lang showed his might just now, so the soldiers shouted in unison, and the cannon sounded again. At the same time, Jiang Lang's rude order was also transmitted to the ships. For a moment, the sound of the artillery from the Ming Dynasty became even more intense.
Perhaps because of Jiang Langgu, the artillery that was originally somewhat close suddenly became accurate and many shells hit the ships of the opposite Komu Army. At the same time, the distance between the two fleets was also approaching. In addition to artillery battles, when the ships approached, there was hand-to-hand combat.
Due to the proximity of the distance, the artillery on the Komu Army's fleet began to hit the Ming army's ships one after another, and casualties began to occur. Fortunately, the Mingjun's ship was strong and powerful, and the damage caused to the Komu Army was often greater than the damage caused to the Komu Army to itself.
The warship Jiang Lang was riding in was also hit by a few shots by the enemy ship. One of the shells was only a few meters away from Jiang Lang. However, Jiang Lang didn't even look at it and still remained motionless. This scared Deng Yuanjue and others. However, the soldiers on the ship were so calm that they were less panicked because the warship was hit. The gunners continued to fire, while the rest picked up the fire and aimed at the enemy ships that the people were leaning towards.
Now, in addition to being equipped with artillery, more than 60% of the soldiers on the ship were equipped with other firearms, as well as some long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. However, since the number of new Ming rifles is not large, it is not yet prepared to be included in this navy!
Finally, the enemy ship slowly moved closer and could clearly see the Mujun on the other side's ship holding their swords and shouting, all of whom were ferocious.
While getting closer, they naturally entered the range of the Ming fleet's firearms, and so on. The soldiers opened fire one after another, and then the cover of the ship's side began to shoot. With the banging sound, many Komu soldiers were shot and fell into the sea one after another. After the Ming soldiers were late to shoot, they put down their firearms, picked up swords, and prepared to welcome the upcoming hand-to-hand combat. Now there is no time to load ammunition.
Jiang Lang also held the spear in his hand at this time, and shouted: "All ships turn their rudders and knock me over Mu Jun's ship!"
