The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Aim." A Chu man wearing civilian clothes shouted loudly.

"Bang." A Qin-made three-inch medium-sized artillery fire immediately opened fire.

"Whoosh." The shells roared out.

"Boom." With a loud noise, the gate of the noble navy's camp was suddenly blasted open. Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and various broken arms and limbs fell to the ground.

"Come on." A young man in more ornate clothes waved a short sword in his hand and shouted loudly while holding a short gun in his hand.

"Come on." A large number of Chu people wearing folk clothes rushed in with guns and various weapons.

This is an armed force spontaneously organized by Chu merchants. They are here to attack the aristocratic naval forts. The aristocratic naval forts pose a great threat to these merchants, and the nobles rely on these forts to collect high taxes, because

Other nobles were threatened to varying degrees. Under such circumstances, the noble navy had to rely on forts to collect taxes. The forts indeed showed their unique power and were difficult to attack.

Some pirates once wanted to break this situation. As a result, under the fierce bombardment of more than 300 cannons, the pirate ship was driven into the river in a short time. The fort posed a great threat to merchant ships. If you want

If they pass, they will give almost all of their profits to the nobles. Faced with this choice, the Chu merchants decided to use violent methods to pull out the forts of these nobles. So there was a scene like attacking the forts.

Many businessmen had this idea, and they immediately used their financial resources and influence to gather an armed force of more than 10,000 people. The total number of various ships exceeded 500, and the number of artillery exceeded 1,000. Although the numbers were small for the merchants,

With the capital to start a war with the nobles, shrewd businessmen still know that in fact these are of little use. Only a small part can really make a difference.

With this clear understanding, the businessman organized a capable team of more than a thousand people, equipped with twelve three-inch caliber artillery, and launched a fierce attack around the back of the fort. Although the fort of the noble navy was extremely strong,

This kind of solidity is only for the river surface, and there is no protection for their land behind. This gives the merchants an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Bang bang bang." The armed merchant soldiers with guns swarmed towards the fort of the noble navy. In comparison, the defense in front of the noble fort can be said to be impregnable, but the defense behind it is a piece of rubbish. They

There were only a small number of troops for defense, no artillery, only muskets. The aristocratic navy was the opponent of these merchants' armed soldiers. The aristocratic navy was a ragtag group. In just one round, they immediately retreated and retreated like a collapse.

At first, the merchant armed forces were still a little wary of the aristocratic navy. After all, they were going to attack the opponent. If they attacked directly, there would be a huge cost of casualties. The cost of casualties was second. If the fort could not be broken from behind, the entire attack plan would be ruined.

It was completely exposed. This was a major failure for the merchant armed forces.

In order to open this situation as soon as possible, the use of artillery became the first choice for these merchants. They did not use heavy five-inch caliber artillery, and instead of using two-inch caliber artillery, they used three-inch caliber artillery with moderate power and high maneuverability.

inch-caliber artillery. This kind of artillery is easy to carry, aim, and operate. It is also relatively powerful and is the best helper for infantry offensive support firepower.

Simple coordinated infantry and artillery operations are the trump card of merchants' armed forces. Merchants are very open-minded and have a lot of experience. They often deal with the Qin people and they naturally understand the role of artillery in combat. When encountering a strong defense area, directly attack

use artillery

After the bombardment, the infantry charge tactics can be quickly used to break through the opponent's defense. Once the infantry is blocked, the artillery bombardment can quickly break through the opponent's defense again. The coordinated operation of infantry and artillery allows this merchant to be armed.

The attack was overwhelming.

In addition, the overall combat effectiveness of the noble navy was not strong, which resulted in the collapse of the noble navy.

"Boom. Boom. Boom." Several gunboats converted from small civilian ships turned back and forth. They kept firing and bombarding the fort. In response, the noble navy on the fort also kept firing. Compared to these small gunboats,

The firepower of the Chu aristocratic navy on the fort can be described as fierce.

"Swish, swish, swish." Artillery shells kept flying over, but they couldn't hit those small gunboats.

"Fire. Fire. Give me a hard bombardment." A general of the noble navy pulled out his dagger and gave constant instructions.

"Boom. Boom." The artillery on the Noble Navy's fort violently bombarded the opponent, but no matter how fierce the Noble Navy's fort was, the shells rarely hit the opponent. The Noble Navy was equipped with smoothbore cannons, and the accuracy of the artillery was inherently limited.

There is a big problem. In addition, the training level of the Chu navy has always been very low. The artillery can fire quite well. As for accuracy, that is not an issue they can consider. And Feng

Locking the river surface has always relied on intensive firepower shooting. The aristocratic navy relied on this intensive firepower shooting to block the entire river surface. For them, the dense firepower network is the most powerful way they can hit the opponent.

In other words, what the aristocratic navy relied on was not the accuracy of artillery, nor the superb skills of the Chu aristocratic navy soldiers, but the density of random firing.

It's no wonder. These small merchant warships used to attract firepower are all temporarily modified, and some are only equipped with one artillery. They are completely designed to attract the opponent's firepower. This way, they can focus on the river.

When they came up, they relaxed their vigilance towards the Noble Navy turret at the back. The poor shooting skills and the flexibility of the boat prevented the Noble Navy turret from taking any advantage.

"General, this is wrong." A gunner of the noble navy said to the noble navy general in confusion.

"If there's anything wrong, fire and knock down all these boats.

"General, these small boats will not retreat no matter how hard we attack them. Normally, if we fire a few cannons, the ships will retreat on their own. But this is different. We fired so many cannons. Instead of retreating, they are stuck here.

This situation is a bit bad." The gunner lowered his head and said in thought.

"Yes." The general nodded. These small boats were brave warriors who received heavy bounties. Facing the fierce bombardment, they were fearless. Instead, they went up to directly bombard the opponent. In this way, they attracted the opponent's firepower.
