I'm Not Really A Study God

Chapter 1814

Boom~

On the boundless sea, the navy of the Principality of ventra approached the Xiao family caravan in a linear manner. At a distance of one kilometer, there was the roar of cannons in two huge warships.

As soon as the gunfire started, the flagship of the ventra fleet was standing on the deck, looking at a middle-aged white man in front with a hundred mile mirror, and suddenly laughed, "waste, fire so far..."

The middle-aged white man was a fairly talented general in the ventra Navy. He was also an aristocrat of the Principality of ventra, count Evans.

You should know that although cannons have been very popular in naval warfare in this period, they can be limited by various problems in naval warfare, such as the instability of ships floating on the sea, the flexible adjustment and aiming of gun windows and guns like turrets, and the ignition can not be launched immediately. In this case, the two sides are four or five hundred meters away from each other, and the accuracy is very strong.

In such a naval battle, it is far from exaggerating that a land cannon can hit a bleeding river when it hits a dense formation.

If the two sides start bombing each other after a distance of 500 meters, I'm afraid if you come and I drive dozens of rounds, everyone will not be much damaged.

Five hundred meters are like that. Now one kilometer is equivalent to one kilometer

Did the Xiao family caravan open a salute to welcome them to rob?

"Your Excellency, wise..." the adjutant standing on the side of the count was about to flatter, when he suddenly heard a scream in the distance.

His words stopped suddenly, and he looked more urgently. What he saw was an armed merchant ship 100 meters away from their flagship. The deck was in a mess, and there were figures running for first aid everywhere.

Count Evans's face was black.

What are you, crow mouth? Beating from reality?

At this moment, because the ship 100 meters away from them was hit, it shows that if you are unlucky, their flagship will also be hit in the next wave?

The sailors on the flagship deck and some artillery were obviously nervous.

"Don't panic. It's just bad luck. They fired more than a dozen shots before. Only one shot hit the target by mistake! The rest hit the sea."

Count Evans, with a dark face, began to drink. Suddenly, the panic of the whole deck calmed down.

In other words, they often staged bloody battles with the navy of Liu Guo. As we all know, firing guns at each other over a kilometer is really the probability of shaking a leopard to hit the target.

Most ordinary sailors can't have a hundred mile mirror. A kilometer away, they can only vaguely infer the strength of the merchant ship over there according to the sound of guns.

You said look how many jets of water splashed around? Sorry, there are more than 50 ships, one by one. Ships are often separated by tens or hundreds of meters. How can they see so far.

However, when the sailors and artillery around the flagship stabilized for a while, his Excellency wanted to curse his mother. He could see clearly through the hundred mile mirror. Just now, it was just a ship of nearly a thousand tons. The three adjacent gun windows were black and fireworks came out.

Just three shots, one shot hit a merchant ship. At present, it is not clear whether the specific damage of the merchant ship is large or small

"Damn monkey, how many elite artillery?"

In his heart, count Evans still controlled the fleet forward. There was no way. He had to rush to a distance of only three or four hundred meters before he could start the war.

Unexpectedly, after a few breaths, the big ship that fired the last time sounded a neat loud noise.

This time, the goal seems to be aimed at his flagship?

There is no need to go to other places to watch. Many people on the deck can clearly see that three water columns were blown out at different positions tens of meters in front of the flagship.

On the contrary, there was cheering on the deck. The three closest positions were more than 50 steps away from the flagship, and the distance was nearly 100 steps away. It was like cheering everyone for their flagship.

But count Evans turned darker.

"Not the last gun window."

No matter how low the hit rate of naval warfare in this era is due to various technical problems, those artillery players who really belong to the king of war are quite able to fight. The king of war does not mean your comprehensive individual combat ability, but your ability to fire and hit the target.

In any case, his flagship is a ship with a displacement of 300 tons, and its area is definitely not small.

It's still a kilometer away. There are already six gun windows over there, and the artillery hand shows such "accurate" striking power. Continue to move forward, and the threat of the other party's six gun windows will definitely be greatly improved.

"Fight back! Although we camouflage pirates, Chinese people don't like to talk rather than be rude. Give them a few shots to welcome them."

In a depressed mood, the count still issued orders quickly.

…………

One kilometer away, on the flagship deck of Xiao's caravan, Xiao Jichen laughed loudly, "well done! It's not at my expense to pull such a fierce man! Ha ha."

The Xiao family's caravan belongs to the state of Lu. The artillery they can invite must be at a distance of 600 or 700 meters to show such striking power.

One kilometer and six or seven hundred meters? These are two completely different areas. You should know that most artillery battles are conducted at intervals of three or four hundred meters, or even one or two hundred meters.

A fierce man from a big business can exceed a distance of 300 meters and show accurate strike power. How exaggerated it would be if he were closer.

These artillery from big merchants are just different!

He invited more than 30 people, and often in naval warfare, a gun needs 10-12 people to operate, but don't think that the people invited by Xiao Jichen are divided into two or three groups and can only operate several guns at the same time.

In naval warfare, only two people are needed to take charge of and launch respectively.

What's more, he was responsible for moving the artillery back to its original position after landing and launching. He invited more than 30 people in pairs, one responsible for rapid cleaning, filling, etc., and the other responsible for launching.

There were 17 guns on the two ships, all operated by fierce men from big merchants.

Xiao Jichen couldn't help but be overjoyed, but there was no way. The Dashang Empire and the state of Lu existed at different levels. These more than 30 people were originally the best artillery in the more than 100000 Navy group of the Dashang empire.

Then, while in service, the gentry and rich families made a lot of wealth through various means, which became the existence of their private caravan towns.

Although big businessmen generally display the banner of Empire, they basically have no rivals in the four seas and are not afraid of being robbed by pirates of the principalities of various kingdoms, everyone knows that once the interests are large enough, they will have the courage.

Can you guarantee that your friendly army will not send a crack soldier to fight black under the banner of small country pirates? The big merchant caravans were not afraid of the Principality of the kingdom. They were afraid that their friends in the same camp, or the aristocrats of the size of the Roman Empire, would play a wave of black and eat black.

You will feel guilty if you don't invite the king level artillery to sit down.

Xiao Jichen, the second son of the Xiao family, spent a lot of money to invite people. He just invited them to play back and forth. When he returned to Lu from Rome, he still had to send them back.

He really felt that the money was worth it as long as he took revenge.
