Duke of Goa.

Fleet Commander Domingo was on the deck and sent the drunken pirate leaders off the ship. He clasped his hands and fists according to the Ming Dynasty, and repeatedly said polite words such as "not entertaining well" and "uncle comes to play again" in a strange tone.

This is one of many mistakes Domingo made tonight. It seems to be small, but it causes great damage.

Because whether in the Ming Dynasty or Europe, the act of hosts sending off guests means that people can clock in and get off work.

The sailors who had been busy all night long were extremely tired and naturally relaxed when they saw this. The people on the wind and rain deck were better, and they had to barely stand yawning.

On the deck of the invisible artillery of the commander, the sailors stumbled and snored loudly in a blink of an eye.

Even the Portuguese officer turned a blind eye, left the post and ran to the stern and rear porthole to smoke.

So much so that when the shouts of ‘Ataque’ sounded, they thought someone was talking in their sleep.

They were about to laugh at them, and the sound of shocking cannons exploded in their ears!

Everyone on the Goa Duke's name couldn't help but change their faces. Commander Domingo looked up in a daze and saw the orange tongue of flames, shading in the thick fog.

The sea lords felt a trembling slightly under their feet, and then there was a bang, and there was a bang on the artillery deck, as well as the screams of many people.

Lin Daoqian was so scared that he immediately lay on the deck. When he looked at Zeng Yiben and others, he hid in the blind spot where the cannon could not be shot.

"You don't have to do this. Western sailboats are not afraid of cannons..." Lin Hongzhong also wanted to earn some face for his master.

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of cannons. And this time, there was a sound of cannons not only on the port side, but also on the starboard side.

Domingo also saw clearly that his flagship was attacked by two large sailboats, one left and one right. As their hulls slowly intersected with the Duke of Goa, more and more artillery began to roar, and thick white smoke rose.

"What are you doing when you stand? Counterattack!" Domingo roared and roared at his fooled subordinates.

The officers and crew members on the open deck woke up as if they were dreaming, so they quickly opened the gun door and loaded shells. The gunpowder hand ran down to get the gunpowder barrel.

For safety reasons, the Portuguese warships are separated by ammunition. The shells can be placed in boxes next to the cannon, but the launching medicine must be stored separately and usually placed in the safest part of the warship. The gunpowder chamber of the Duke of Goa is located on the lower floor of the artillery deck, at the center. It is not easy to be attacked and is also convenient for gunners on the artillery deck to use.

The gunpowder hands were all acted by thirteen or fourteen years old agile boys. They rushed down the wind and rain deck like the wind and rain deck. Before they could continue to go down the level, they were stunned by the tragic situation of the artillery deck.

I saw several holes as big as a washbasin on both sides of the oak hull several feet thick.

Moreover, every shot shot was shot into the ground, and everything was smashed to pieces. The flesh and blood of the crew and the gunner were no exception. The ground was covered with broken limbs and broken internal organs, and even the top of the warehouse was splashed with blood.

How is this possible? The teenagers were extremely shocked. In their perception, the hull made of the double thick oak board should be super strong, and the shells fired from a long distance cannot penetrate it. Even the shells fired from close range can only make a hole as big as a bowl in the hull. Crews can usually lie down and avoid it, and are rarely injured.

Fortunately, shells kept coming in and answering their doubts on the spot.

The sharp-eyed boy saw that after the huge cannonball broke through the hull, it would not only crash everything on the ballistic, but also have the effect of scattering attacks of grape bombs. It would be useless to lie on the ground, and would also be shot into meat paste.

What kind of hell is this?!

Such a weapon is called the Super Hongxi Cannon!

When Mr. Zhao decided that the coast guard should focus on firing cannons, he ordered Zhao Shizhen to design and manufacture three types of cannons:

The Yongle cannon modeled on the Great Napoleon cannon; the Xuande cannon modeled on the Small Napoleon cannon; and the Hongxi cannon modeled on the Caron cannon.

The Hongxi cannon has a large caliber and short cannon body, and looks very funny. Its shells are heavy and powerful, but because the gun barrel is too short, the range is too short, and the ballistics are very random, it is naturally unable to attack long-distance targets. Therefore, the coast guard fleet has always been used as close-defense cannons to attack enemy ships trying to approach the sideways. It can also fire grape bullets or shotguns, and cooperate with the Big Bo Lang aircraft to clean up people on the enemy ships.

So at first, in the coast guard, the status of this short and heavy artillery was not high. Even Zhao Shizhen clamored that the Yongle cannon is the best cannon and there is no need for a larger caliber.

It was not until they obtained two Western sailing ships through the "hunting operation" that they saw the oak hulls that were dozens of centimeters thick. They realized that there were times when Yongle cannons were not enough...

The shooting test of the 00th Institute found that when various types of artillery were facing the guard plates and hulls on the side of the sailboat, the best performance was that the Hongxi cannon could be crushed within 50 meters and penetrate the hull of the sailboat within 20 meters.

Although the Yongle Cannon can do this, it is equivalent to ** in this distance. Any shooting accuracy is a floating cloud. Whoever has a larger diameter will have greater power!

Therefore, under the strong request of Wang Rulong and other coast guard generals, Xishan Island Arsenal began to cast larger-caliber Yongle cannons, Hongwu cannons, and Hongxi cannons with larger-caliber Hongxi cannons!

The latter's caliber reaches a terrifying 161 mm, and a solid shell weighs 28 kilograms!

Moreover, Wang Rulong also used extremely perverted double rounds!

The so-called double-round bomb is to load two shells into the barrel at the same time, such as a solid shell and a grape shell. When fired, the solid shell first penetrates the hull, and then dozens of lead shells flew into the bullet holes and swept across the deck with the fan. Its power is extremely terrifying!

However, this will shorten the already pitiful effective range of Hong Xi's cannon again. Even the super Hong Xi cannon can only ensure killing within fifty meters, and it will be useless to get farther away.

The problem is that, normally, the Portuguese with terrifying firepower and superb ship-operating skills will never let the enemy ship get so close. Just because of the half-sized Garen ship of the Coast Guard fleet, it was probably sieve by the rain of shells before it was approaching a hundred meters.

So Zhao Hao never forced the coast guard fleet to destroy the Spanish sailing ships. He just asked them to act on camera and save themselves as long as they could control the enemy.

But how proud Wang Rulong is? How fierce the captains from the Qi family army are, how can they be satisfied with the harassment that is like tickling the water?

They were holding back their energy from the beginning and wanted to wipe out these four large sailboats!

Therefore, Wang Rulong has been waiting for this opportunity to 'put the gun onto the enemy'!

Now the fleeting opportunity has finally appeared and I have seized it. Then bet on your honor and life and let it stop until you die!

102, 103, the short and heavy artillery on the upper and lower decks of the ship roared at the same time! A solid shell kept hitting the trunk of the Goa Duke. Because the shells were at low initial velocity and heavy weight, their power was actually similar to the crushing effect. Each shell would dig a large hole the size of a washbasin to open the way for the grapes behind them!

As the two ships continued to advance, more and more artillery guns were added. At first, there were more than a dozen egg-sized projectiles, then dozens, hundreds, and hundreds of grape bullets, sweeping everything on the artillery deck without dead corners from both sides.

The only downside is that because these two are half-sized Garen ships, even the upper layer of artillery cannot touch the wind and rain deck of the Duke of Goa. Therefore, both layers of artillery are actually hitting the opponent's artillery deck... that is, the second deck is on. This can completely destroy everything on the deck of the artillery deck, but it cannot completely destroy the combat effectiveness of the Duke of Goa.

So, amid the unique scream, Oda City rockets rose into the air, shooting directly at the upper deck and tree-like masts, spider-web-like rigging, and rolls of sails.

Those who are close to each other can even throw tea tea grenades, but unfortunately they can no longer care about it...

After a terrifying blow, the Goa Duke was completely in chaos.

"Take the anchor, pull the anchor quickly!"

"It's on fire! Put the fire out!"

"Where is gunpowder, why haven't you brought it yet!"

"My legs are gone, doctor, doctor..."

Screams and shouts, people were running like headless flies. From time to time, rockets with long tail flames came, and they immediately tied up the sailors who were squeezed into candied haws.

Domingo shouted desperately, trying to calm his crew down. The second Japanese devils would not accompany him to die. Lin Hongzhong had quietly escaped into the Officer's High-end Restaurant. This guy is so thief, knowing that the other party's boat is short and the height is safest.

In order to avoid the flying rocket, he hid under the dining table.

Unexpectedly, when I lifted the tablecloth and crawled in, my head was already full of people.

Lin Daoqian, Zeng Yiben, Hu Jiao Lao, Zhu Liangbao and other sea masters have already moved here.

"Hard work, let's get somewhere." Lin Hongzhong squeezed in, and laughed awkwardly, no longer seeing his arrogance.

At such a dangerous moment, Lin Daoqian and others were not in the mood to say sarcastic words, so they gave him a place.

At this time, ships 102 and 103 passed the Duke of Goa and headed towards the Regales dozens of meters away.

The pressure on the Goa Duke was relieved. Domingo immediately took the opportunity to gather his subordinates who had suffered heavy losses and seized the time to restore his combat effectiveness.

The three most important things at the moment are to put out dozens of fire points caused by the rockets and rescue sail equipment; second, to quickly pull up the anchor to let the warship resume operations, and third, to bring the damn gunpowder!

Domingo had just assigned the mission to several officers who had caught, and the sound of artillery sounded again...

"It's endless..." Seeing two more warships leaning forward, Domingo was in tears.

Ship 104 is on the left and the squadron is on the right. It clamps the already-burned Duke of Goa again, and sprays out an orange tongue of flame!

The gun crews of the two ships have pushed the tail screws of all guns to the highest level, allowing the muzzle to press down as much as possible to shoot in order to break through the waterline of the Goa Duke!

As for why you don’t lift the muzzle up and what if it is a projectile and hit the opponent’s own person?

This is a cannon...
