The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 141: It's really going to sink

Wu Xiang, who was standing on the high platform of the mast, when he saw the dark mouth of the Apis gun aimed at his own ship, especially with Guo Nuan's sinister smile next to the fort.The wily and calculating old man Wu has been in the country for decades, and his intuition told him that this unknown item is extremely dangerous.

"What the fuck, what are you doing in a daze, turn the rudder!" Wu Xiang yelled at the stupid native pirates on the lower deck.

Dozens of pirates suddenly came to their senses, and they all pulled up the cables and manipulated the sails to slowly turn the huge hull across.Guo Nuan was quite depressed seeing such a situation, he regretted it, the lead wire should not have been made so long at the beginning, no, the half-meter-long lead wire slid and sparked and slowly shortened after being ignited, it took more than ten seconds Only then can the detonation be delayed.

Everyone on the Apis knew the power of this earthen cannon. When Guo Nuan ignited it, everyone ran to the other side of the deck, covered their ears with their hands, and prostrated themselves on the floor.

The largest pirate ship aimed at by the earth cannon slowly turned a [-]-degree angle at a critical moment, and the stern of the ship was a little bit out of the lethal range of the earth cannon projectile, but the long-awaited iron spherical shell was mixed with a lot of black powder and broken iron sheets The blade also shot out with a "boom".

The turret made the Apis tremble violently and almost fell apart, everyone on the Apis thumped in their hearts, and in an instant, everyone complained in their hearts: the enemy was not killed first, and the base of the fort, the Abis, would fall apart first. sank.

The iron ball with the size of the head was mixed with countless iron fragments filled in the barrel, and flew out with the roar of sparks. The pirates were lucky. The shells only touched the stern of the ship. Wu Xiang's big ship was very lucky. He barely escaped, but the escorting square-headed amphibious sand ship next to him was unlucky. He just hit the muzzle of the gun in a hurry, and a half-meter-large round hole suddenly appeared in the hull of the shell on the waterline. The shards casually took out seven or eight hapless ghosts standing in the stern of the square-bowed boat.

The uneducated pirates in ancient times saw the jade bottle burst like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Facing the astonishing modern technological products, the pirates were so frightened that they were punished by God.

"Run away! They have magical weapons!" Wu Xiang was also dumbfounded. He had lived for most of his life and had a lot of knowledge. He had never seen such a shocking cannonball.

The fighting spirit of a group of howling pirates was immediately disintegrated. They wished their parents had given birth to their own two legs. The hulls of the five buckets of rice pirates staggered and turned to the periphery to flee for their lives.

"It's terrible to be uneducated!"

Guo Nuan didn't expect that the ignorant people would be incomparably frightened after the first shot, but this reaction is also considered human. Humans always have an inexplicable fear of unknown things, like when Guo Nuan and Abu were in Chang'an just now. The glycerin dynamite was invented, and many feudal and antique ministers in the court wanted to live and die. They asked Daizong to destroy Guo Nuan's invention, saying that it was a monster and should not be tolerated in the world... What's more, the old scholars still learned from their hearts And the idealist philosophy of the Book of Changes explains the fierce contradiction between the principles of heaven and law and the materialist science of nitroglycerin explosives.

Guo Nuan sighed, but the Wudoumi Pirates have been plundering and plundering at sea for many years.Guo Nuan waved his hand, and the sailors of the Apis moved out the other two cannons excitedly.

"Quack, how can you leave so quickly when you come, anyway, you should send two more salutes to others."

Guo Nuan laughed for a while, and then he lit two more cannons.

"Boom, boom!" The deafening cannon sounded, and the target was hit, and everyone cheered for a while. Just now, the pirates were scrambling everywhere on the sea, but now the situation has turned upside down. They are happy.

"Master! The cannon hit two ships!" Ah Fu shouted excitedly, pointing forward.

"Haha, yes, yes, kill two ships at once."

Seeing that the two sub-ships about 100 meters away from the sea were blown upright, and then sank slowly, seventy or eighty pirates fell into the water at once, and where did the big ship and the square-headed ship that was hit by the first bombardment go? Wu Xiang was so frightened that he could save his companions who fell into the water. He directed the two ships and rushed away. In fact, he was so nervous that he didn't know that there were no cannonballs on the Abis ship, and there were only magnificent forts. Maybe he turned around and charged for a while, maybe the winner in the end is still uncertain, but the premise is that Wu Xiang, who is sadly reminded, doesn't know that the other party is gone.

"Damn, there's no more shells, otherwise Wu Xiang could be sent to the west." Guo Nuan muttered to himself with a look of regret.

Everyone was embracing and celebrating, but Abbas didn't expect that another village would be bright in the dark. Everyone thought they were dead and then suddenly found a life. They were crying for a while, and Abbas didn't care whether he could kill the hateful pirate leader Wu item.

"Boat...Captain, we must have fired too many cannons just now, and the tremors were too violent, Abis couldn't hold on anymore, it seemed to be... falling apart and sinking!"

The fat man came to his senses first, he yelled sadly like a dead father and mother, everyone who was originally happy was dumbfounded, but no, they only heard the creaking sound of the planks of the hull, and the waterline of the hull kept rising , It is estimated that a lot of water has been poured into the cabin.

"Damn, it's really going to sink." Lamenting that the fate is so unpredictable like a drama, Guo Nuan exclaimed, and he burst into the sky with great excitement and depression: "God has no eyes!!!! In vain My brother’s fame is about to be buried under the sea, Pei Pei and Ah Fu, come and help me, I need to tear down a big board, if I fall into the water, I can hold on for a while..."

Someone wailed for a while and then became extremely strong. I saw him working hard to disassemble and assemble the wooden boards on the deck.

.....

"My lord, report, two pirate ships have been found in the four nautical miles southwest of the front, and the flags on the ship look like the five buckets of rice pirates!"

A heroic and burly armored general boarded the balcony of the five-story ship and reported to the middle-aged general.

"Well, Zang Yao, you give orders to the soldiers to move forward at full speed and hunt down the pirates!" The general replied sonorously.

"Obey!" The general who kowtowed and retired respectfully was called Cheng Zangyao. He was full of doubts. His own commander left the entire Lingnan Province government affairs and brought [-] Qingshuilou sailors to Nanyang to search for more than half a month. There was still nothing to gain, but the pirates that were cleared along the way were not swept away.

The two pirate ships that appeared in front of us were unlucky, maybe we could get useful clues from them.Cheng Zangyao pondered.

A fleet of more than [-] large-scale buildings and warships, the Datang Armed Forces sea fleet composed of a huge fleet at this moment appeared end to end in a line on the sea and sky. The mighty fleet accompanied by the slowly falling red sunset, The boat swayed and pierced through the broken golden light reflected on the sea surface, and the sunset glow was moving forward...
