The speed of the turtle ship was too slow, and the counter-current voyage for two consecutive days made the sailors extremely tired.Except for two or three hours of rest in the anchor last night, they had to row their oars all the time, struggling and fighting the water—by contrast, the sailors of the Revolutionary Army had to make the steam engine work on its own.

When the sailors' physical exertion reached their limits, Li Jun could only use valuable drugs and fences to maintain the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet.The old aide-de-camp King was even glad that he had sunk a dozen troop carriers, otherwise the slow and stupid ships would have dragged down the entire fleet even more.

Such a plan to break the boat, Li Yuan has been worried that his actions will be found in advance.But when he had difficulty leading the team outside Pyongyang and saw the new rows of docks, ships, warehouses and roads along the Datong River, he could not help but ecstasy.Only the 500-ton shipping ships in the loading and unloading state in the mooring are four or five, and these strange ships that smoke all the way are the big targets.

The removal of these "black chimney ships" should be able to cause heavy damage to the Ming Dynasty sea, right?

"Let the arson ship go up first."Li Yun shouted, "Let the last of our characters be used, and let the sailors paddle quickly."

The turtle-clad ship with only two knots of speed is too slow, and it is only a short distance at the end, but it takes half a day to rush.It was slower than a tortoise.Only the small size of the ship relying on human movement of the arson ship can quickly launch an attack, the most important thing is that the arson caused chaos, weaken the enemy's morale, so that the enemy does not fight and collapses.

Thirty arson boats left the line... quickly and in the direction of the dock.The lead ship was even more fixed on a ship moored on the edge of the dock, with a black and lacquered chimney.All North Korean sailors were told that the chimney-based ship was particularly dangerous and had to be killed first if possible.

When the arson ship was quickly killed like an arrow from the string, Li Guan felt the blood boiling on his turtle armor boat.Driving an arson boat is a very dangerous behavior, and it is likely to be intercepted halfway close to the enemy's ship.If it is not well controlled, do not say that the enemy's ship will be sunk by the enemy's edge.

At this time, the speed...

“Hour up!”Li Juan stood on the top of the turtle boat, raising his fist and loudly cheering.With his shout, the unmovable 'black chimney boat' across the street also ran out of a dozen sailors, struggling to push the hull in the direction of the dock with a coarse wooden stick, and there was an iron house-like thing on the bow.

A burst of white smoke popped up in the "Iron House", and the sound of guns came a second or two later.

Guns on board?

The landing point of the shelling was in front of the arson ship, splashing the water from the sky.

Li Guan's heart hurt, stopped for several seconds and then the water fell, and he shouted in a more uplifting tone: "No hit, these Mingguo Haiko did not hit."Hurry up, hurry up!”

There are also artillery on the turtle armor ship, and the hull is a small shotgun on both sides, with a short range and not very powerful.The bow also has a heavy gun, which can be loaded especially slowly.Li Guan looked at the opposite "black chimney boat" and immediately felt that his own arson boat had won.According to common sense, when the other party is loaded again, they have already lit each other's boat.

But when Li Guan, along with the sailors of the ship, shouted, only about ten seconds later, the "iron house" of the enemy's bow came out of the strong white smoke - it was a half-open turret.After the fire, there was smoke in front and back, and even more came from the back.

The second shelling did not fail, and the momentum of the projectile was transmitted to the arson ship at close range.A gun went down, the whole ship burst, and the pile of firewood flew in the sky.North Korean officers whose heads were preparing to ignite were torn apart.The projectile ran through the hull, causing the ship to disintegrate.North Korean sailors paddled on the side of the ship capsized with the ship in a violent shock and all fell into the water.

Li Guan looked in a daze hundreds of meters away - our guns generally hit some iron sand, often a shot of the face of the past also led to disfigurement.Your guns don’t look big, but what the hell is this?A shot in the boat is gone.

But this began, and the barrel wall of the ship was thicker and could withstand more sustained shelling.It was hard to turn the bow of the bow and turn Zhu Chengqi and then jump back to his own commuter boat, he personally ran to the turret command and aim - Zhao Ze is not a professional ship designer, the whole ship in this place is accompanied by armor, even the bridge is not.Judith is also for his own safety.

"Brothers, work hard, the opportunity to win the award has come."Aim to hit, be sure to sink one of them.”Zhu Chengxuan scolded viciously: "I don't know where the turtle grandson came from, how dare to come to shave my revolutionary navy tiger beard."This is their own way of dying.”

In the face of more than 30 arson ships, the gunners in the turret were not afraid, but began to get excited.They all know one thing, that is, the artillery of their "revolutionary army" is very powerful, far from being comparable to that of ordinary sailors.Due to the use of longer guns, the 70 mm gun has a range of 150 mm Army battalion artillery and a faster and longer-lasting fire.

The receding gun was easily reset, the muzzle was slightly adjusted, and another shell was filled.

A shell fired was a broken fire of an arson ship, transformed into a river emptied water, and drifting wood and floating corpses.

Li was surprised by the continuous firing of the "black chimney ship".He listened to the accounts of many North Korean officers and soldiers who escaped from Pyongyang, all of which showed that the artillery fire of the country was extremely sharp and the shooting speed was very fast, but he could not imagine that it was so incredible.And this fast-fire artillery is often small in force, but the power of the gun in front of it is not to be underestimated.

Li Guan completely can not think of the black technology of the frame and the fixed load, can only think of the opposite iron room is not a monster with more than a dozen arms in the rapid shelling, otherwise how can there be such a rapid speed?

Bombing, another shot.

The first three arson ships were all finished, although there were twenty or thirty in the back.But brave sailors will lose the courage to attack the gun, which explodes four or five rounds per minute.When the turret turned and the muzzle was aimed at the fourth arson, the North Korean officers in the bow froze.The sailors on the side of the ship simply jumped on the boat and fled, and no one wanted to die.

The arson boat that could not be near the target was just the target, and they rowed no faster than the hands and feet, and the extremely excited naval gunners.The arson ship that had just been brave enough to be hit by a headache, and the tattered ships floating on the river surface, drifting downstream with the current float.

"Thank God, there's a gun."Zhu Chengxuan wiped a sweat on his forehead and laughed with the gunners around him.At close range, they hit a dozen rounds in one go, hit the limit of the ship's gun outbreak, except for two lost, all the rest hit - the oncoming North Korean sailors were beaten morale collapsed, the rest of the arson ship turned around to escape.

Zhu Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and they had to reduce the rate of fire.Because the barrel is already hot, it is not possible to install the medicine to enter it spontaneously.He himself looked out through the observation hole of the turret, and he could see the huge turtle armor ships hundreds of meters away.Those are obviously the main force of the enemy, the ship type is tall, the hull claved, the bow...

“Wait until the old man’s gun cools down.”Without waiting for Zhu Chengqi to end, the bow of the turtle in front of a turtle-clad ship opened, revealing a "coarse and large" muzzle.The same bombardment of white smoke, a projectile with a whistling sound flew towards him - a black shot put from far away quickly.Zhu Chengxuan suddenly looked shocked, and his heart stopped beating.

Just shelling others is particularly cool, and now being shelled by others is particularly "cool".

The projectiles of the old-fashioned front-boel cannon are slow, and the person who is shelled can watch the shells hit themselves.Zhu Chengxuan felt that his brain was empty, his muscles were stiff, and he could not move.It was not until the shell whistled over the top of the commuting boat that he jumped up and scolded, "Quick, cool the gun with water, and we're going to fire immediately."

"The captain, the rules on the rules can not be cooled by water.The life of the barrel will be greatly reduced.”The gunner on the side did not see the scene of the enemy's shelling, and it was a good reminder.

Zhu Chengxuan even jumped his feet, "If the death is gone, who can't control it and can't shoot it?"The tortoises in front of them are also shooting!”

The water just made by the enemy's shelling is rising, and the people in the turret immediately fried the pot, and all felt the threat of life.No one resists watering the gun, pouring the water that had been prepared to extinguish the ship on the barrel - the water vapor of Zirara rose in the turret.Some people are anxious and even want to pour into the barrel of the gun, this kind of fool immediately was beaten by colleagues.

After a rapid cooling, another shell was stuffed into the cannon.The gunner aimed at a turtle-gump ship about six hundred meters away, and the tortoise's head of the ship opened a large hole, and it was clear that a large caliber heavy gun was placed inside - probably an old bronze gun, with a thick barrel, weighing at least a few thousand pounds.This kind of gun is very difficult to move on land and can only be carried by ship.

"Give me the aim, it's better to hit me in the tortoise's head."Zhu Chengxuan's heart is still pounceable, he has just been scared how much eggs, how angry at this moment."The back of the gun should have piled up gunpowder, hit the tortoise grandson to look good."

Yes, the artillery knows the artillery.A bunch of gunners laughed, but after they laughed, they looked at the same pile of gunpowder in their turrets, and they did not make a sound.Zhu Chengxuan also turned his head and scolded in a hurry: "He meows, who is he stacking so much gunpowder in the turret?"Do not put too much gunpowder in the turret, and this one should be written into the code of exercise.”

Armored turret protection is already the safest place for commuter boats, where is the gunpowder not to put the turret?No one knows.In short, the battle began not long after, and the new "revolutionary navy" felt that its rules had too much to improve.And their first goal now is to “fire!”

The opposite turtle armor ship is about 600 and 50 meters, which is close to the effective range limit of the ship's gun.A little further away is not to say that you can't hit it, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye.It is just that the hull is up and down on the river surface, which makes the gunner responsible for aiming not be sure.Zhu Chengxuan also knew that the gun had a lower hit rate than the land gun, and he couldn't help but shout, "First fire, then correct."

A bomb fired a shot and hit the opposite turtle boat two or three seconds later.

The cannonball failed to hit the enemy's tortoise head, but hit the part of the turtle armor.The projectile hit a few iron plates covered above, and also broke the top of the watchtobe, but failed to cause much damage.More than 600 meters can be hit is already very lucky, after all, the hull of a centimeter of shaking, in 600 meters away will be magnified into several meters deviation.

“Fill it again.”Zhu Chengqi gritted his teeth and said, "We shoot fast, the hull is small, and luck is also a greater chance of our playing."

The commuter boat hit four or five rounds, and the opposite side only hit back.The two sides lashed each other out, and they did not do much harm to each other.The cannonball on Zhu Chengxuan's side is powerful, but it is nearly lost every time.In addition to the first round, all the other wiping the edge of the turtle ship flew, and was no longer as accurate as the arson boat within 100 meters.

The North Korean artillery on the opposite side is slow, and the quality of the artillery is not good.Their shelling is even more rare, the latest one is also more than ten meters away from Zhu Chengqi and others, even 100 meters away.But as long as they are in the middle, the thin hull where Zhu Chengqi is located will have to be finished.

Do you really want to have luck?Probability is all about the face!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we shoot fast, and we're better luck."Zhu Chengxuan tried to comfort himself, but just before he turned to appease his own gunner, the North Korean sailors across the street also found a gun to deal with Zhu Chengxuan too thin.So...

"Oh my God, they've pulled five turtle-crown ships up and bombed us."The sailors watching on the bridge screamed in horror, and the water falling around the commuter boat suddenly fell several times more.Zhu Chengqiu shouted: "The turbine cabin, you will no longer raise the boiler pressure, you will not have to rise."
