Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

ding ding ding...

Just when people were wondering.

The sentry in the high tower sounded the alarm.

At this time, people with better eyesight can also see clearly.

The other side’s flag is different from that of Japan.

"Pirates are coming? Impossible? What kind of pirates dare to attack us?"

Many Japanese people were confused.

Isn’t it said that there are many pirates in Japan?

If you want to be rich, just go to the coast of Ming Dynasty and plunder.

Why are we being beaten to the door now?

Where are their ships patrolling and guarding the open sea?

All destroyed?

Various doubts could not stop the spread of panic, and the fishermen, merchants, and others in the port were all in chaos.

Everyone was fleeing, fearing that if they ran too slowly they would be kidnapped by pirates.

The official in charge of the port was so frightened when he heard the alarm that he quickly got up from the geisha and ran out in disarray.

Fortunately, his adjutant organized the manpower for him.

They rushed to the port with their samurai and foot soldiers.

"Quickly notify the navy!"

Officials knew that it was not reliable to rely on them to defend against pirates, and they had to call in the navy.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "boom" coming from a distance, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

"what sound?"

He was stunned for a moment.

The adjutant was also stunned. He looked up and saw a black object flying in the sky towards them.

"It's a cannonball!"

A warrior with some knowledge let out a cry of horror.

"I have met pirates from the Qing Dynasty. They are not very good at fighting, but they have cannons that can spit fire and explode!"

artillery?

The officials naturally knew that those guys in the navy were asking the general to allocate funds to help them purchase and develop artillery.

They believe that this is a powerful tool to change the weaknesses of ordinary people and martial arts masters.

With firearms.

Even an ordinary person can kill a congenital master by a sneak attack.

Are there more ordinary people in the world, or are there more innate people?

Imagine again, if the master was born with more advanced and powerful firearms, wouldn’t he be even stronger?

Those crazy people in the navy!

But the navy’s artillery can’t reach that far, right?

Can the enemy attack here from the sea?

When the official was puzzled, he heard his men shout "Get out of the way" and then he was knocked to the ground by a figure.

Immediately!

boom!

A violent explosion sounded beside them, and fierce flames, accompanied by air waves, set the wooden house on fire.

The official was thrown into the air and fell ten feet away. The warrior who tackled him was shocked by the air wave and died of vomiting blood.

And there were more than one explosion.

Boom boom boom!

On board the Black Pearl.

The heroic Mei Chaofeng looked into the distance with her [Eye of the Netherworld] and saw that the port was filled with smoke after a round of artillery fire.

The Black Pearl, equipped with 36 16-pound cannons, is the absolute king on the sea of ​​Kyushu.

There were 1000 shells on the ship, but thanks to Mei Chaofeng's frugality, there were only 700 shells left.

Moreover, the 300 rounds used were mostly used in the early days of going to sea when our force was not large.

Once she gained a foothold on the sea and acquired more ships, the Black Pearl's cannons were rarely fired.

Because it is not needed.

The characteristic of the Black Pearl is that it always has a tailwind, which brings an extremely high speed.

At this super high speed, no ship can threaten it. Instead, it can use this speed to devour all enemies.

Now, in order to deal with Japan.

She used up 18 shells in this round of bombardment.

Some shells fell in the harbor, some fell into the sea, and some blew up fishing boats, causing flames and black smoke to rise.

This brought even greater panic to the Japanese people.

People were running away in panic.

Others knelt down and begged for mercy.

Not everyone knew what artillery was. Many people only heard the thunderous "boom" and then the explosion.

It's like God is angry.

"A sharp weapon, a weapon of war!"

On the ship, Lei Juan, Shen Bian'er, Lei Chun and others witnessed the loading and firing of the Black Pearl's cannons with their own eyes.

Lei Juan was wrapped in a coat, his thin body was trembling, and he felt uneasy.

"Wrong, wrong!"

"Although our Lei family has studied gunpowder and firearms, we only use them to complement various martial arts. We have never thought about how to amplify the power of gunpowder and make better use of it."

"This kind of power is not inferior to Xiantian's attack. If there were bigger and better artillery, wouldn't the city wall be destroyed in one shot?"

Everyone in the Lei family was very excited.

Gunpowder is what they are best at.

Some people's minds suddenly opened up and they saw a more wonderful world.

Many times, invention is like this, what is lacking is an idea and a direction.

As long as you find the direction, the experience accumulated in the past will turn into motivation and push you forward.

The Lei family has been playing with gunpowder for hundreds of years and has been around forever, with all kinds of poisonous gunpowder, thunder bombs, and rockets emerging one after another.

But I never found the real way.

"The cooperation between the prince and the Lei family to research firearms is the right direction. As long as it succeeds, the mode of war will usher in a change!"

On the deck, Zhao Shirong was observing the suppression of the Black Pearl's artillery fire, which shocked her deeply.

She had previously had some concerns about Zhao Wuxian's decision to use the Lei family and introduce the Sihai Chamber of Commerce.

Looking back now, Zhao Wuxian’s vision was ahead of its time.

"However, let the Lei family control these..."

Zhao Shirong glanced at Lei Juan and the others.

Lei Juan seemed to notice something and looked towards her.

But Zhao Shirong had already looked to the other side. The sounds of horns and drums were heard in the distance, and a fleet was sailing out.

"The navy is coming out!"

"Turn the helm!"

Mei Chaofeng gave the order.

The Black Pearl began to evacuate, seemingly frightened of the navy.

"Catch them and kill them!"

The general commanding this navy was furious. A ship dared to attack the port. This was a slap in the face!

It would be a shame if we didn't kill the other party.

He stood at the bow, drew his sword and shouted.

The nine warships he led were in hot pursuit of the Black Pearl.

"Shoot me!"

His flagship had a bow gun, which the navy bought from pirates of the Qing Dynasty at a huge price.

"Sir, we can't hit the target at this distance. It's a waste of shells!" the subordinate advised.

"hateful!"

The general slashed the side of the ship with his sword, looked back at the port, calmed down, and said, "Don't chase them. The enemy's artillery is more powerful."

"We'll be made fun of if we chase them out!"

Mei Chaofeng saw the Japanese fleet slowing down and sneered: "Turn the rudder, face the enemy on the right side, and prepare to fire!"

She was actually deliberately giving the other side a chance to close the distance, waiting for the fleet to "pause" when slowing down and turning.

Boom boom boom!

The cannons on the starboard side spewed out flames and smoke, and fired shells at the Japanese fleet.
