- What!
The warships of the Song Empire could actually have ninety-two cannons!
When Liu Dashen told Zhang Bangchang that the Song Empire's naval warships were equipped with ninety-two artillery pieces, he could no longer calm down.
The ship he is commanding now is a Spanish galleon.
In his opinion, the size of this kind of ship is already very large, at least one-third larger than the Dutch warships.
The 19 warships sent as gifts by Zhao Hongyu include Spanish and Dutch ships.
??And a Spanish galleon like this could only house twenty-four cannons because of its large size. This is already remarkable, at least Zhang Bangchang thinks so.
In Zhang Bangchang's eyes, the three-year-old Spanish galleon he serves as his flagship is already a very, very good and sophisticated warship. It also has twenty-four cannons, which is much stronger than the Ming Dynasty's tower ships and fighting ships. .
But now, someone told him that this kind of ship was nothing. There is another kind of ship in this world, which is much more sophisticated than the Spanish galleon.
This really surprised him.
¡°And he couldn¡¯t imagine what a warship equipped with ninety-two cannons would look like.
Especially after he saw the power of European warships just now, he couldn't let himself imagine the scene of ninety-two cannons firing.
You know, this is a ship that Liu Dashen is talking about.
Thinking about it, there must be more than one warship in the Song Empire.
"If there are more than a dozen ships, wouldn't there be hundreds of artillery pieces?"
¡°For example, if he had less than 200 artillery pieces, he already thought it was a big deal, and he took advantage of them in the battle.
He couldn¡¯t imagine what it would be like if the Song Empire¡¯s warships fired hundreds of artillery salvos at a time during a battle at sea.
But one thing is certain, this scene is absolutely spectacular.
"You kid are not talking nonsense. How can there be a warship capable of mounting ninety-two cannons? You are simply talking nonsense. This is simply impossible."
However, Zhang Bangchang quickly stopped his random thoughts. He also expressed his disbelief in Liu Da Scar, because he suddenly thought of a problem, which was a flaw in Liu Da Scar's words.
In this era, it does not mean that all kinds of artillery can be mounted on ships.
First of all, the range, power and caliber of the artillery, especially the weight of the artillery and the recoil generated when firing, all need to be considered very comprehensively.
It doesn¡¯t mean that after you build a cannon, you can move it to the ship.
everything. It's not as simple as talking.
You should consider whether the hull can withstand the artillery and its recoil.
At the same time, the weight of the artillery is also very critical, after all, this is at sea. If the artillery is too heavy, it will not work if it crushes the ship.
After all, the hulls of this era were built with wooden structures, both inside and outside. Compared with the metal materials of another time and space, the wooden hull structure is relatively fragile.
Especially when at sea, once encountering strong winds and waves, the heavy artillery cannot be fixed due to its weight. It will bring great disaster.
This is definitely not scaremongering or casual talk.
Think about it, how much ninety-two cannons weigh.
At the same time, when encountering wind and waves at sea, how can these ninety-two artillery pieces be secured?
These are some big questions.
The heavy gun body was bumping and undulating. If it becomes unstable, it will crash everywhere in the cabin.
Its large and heavy gun body can completely destroy the hull if it hits the wooden structure of the cabin.
hey-hey!
? ?Since I was a child, I have seen grown-up people, don¡¯t I know that you like to brag?
After Zhang Bangchang thought of this, he felt relieved.
at the same time. He thought this was Liu Dashen's old habit and he must be bragging.
After all, he is an acquaintance of Liu Dascar's father, when Liu Dascar was still young. Zhang Bangchang has known him since.
So, Zhang Bangchang knows very well what kind of virtue Liu Dashen is.
Liu Dashen is good at everything, but he likes to brag.
If you don¡¯t know him very well,Well, you won't know this shortcoming of his.
¡°But Zhang Bangchang is too familiar with Liu Dashen, so how could he not understand him.
"Da Liu, how much do ninety-two cannons weigh? Each one must weigh at least seven or eight hundred kilograms. How big a ship must be to bear ninety-two cannons? And this is still in Without firing, if it encounters an artillery battle, the hull will have to withstand even more."
Zhang Bangchang turned sideways and said to Liu Dascar.
The calculation of pounds in this era is hexadecimal, so Zhang Bangchang¡¯s so-called seven or eight hundred pounds is more than a thousand pounds according to the calculation of another time and space.
But this is nothing, after all, the iron artillery is also very heavy.
Especially Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ship-borne artillery, all of which have twenty-four guns.
Of course, there is no more than a thousand kilograms, but seven or eight hundred kilograms has indeed arrived.
After all, these artillery were purchased from the virtual world and used modern metallurgical forging technology, which is not what people of this era can think of.
But even so, ninety-two cannons are not light anymore.
After Liu Dashen heard the words, he couldn't hear the underlying meaning.
However, the warships and artillery of the Song Empire were all seen by myself. This time he didn't brag, this time it was the conscience of heaven and earth.
"Uncle, I'm not exaggerating. The warships of the Song Empire can indeed carry ninety-two cannons, and I heard that this kind of warship is still a standing warship of its navy. I have also seen larger ones with more cannons. As for the battleship, that kind of battleship has 108 guns and four decks"
Liu Dashen can speak according to his own conscience, and everything he says is true.
However, Zhang Bangchang just smiled and shook his head, and had no intention of continuing to dwell on this issue.
¡°Obviously, Zhang Bangchang thought he was bragging.
Liu Dashen felt a little bitter.
However, they are almost approaching the battlefield in the melee, so it is not easy to continue to dwell on this issue at this time.
snort!
You will know when Li Dalongtou comes back. This time I am not bragging.
Liu Dashen saw his side. When he was about to come into contact with the enemy, he immediately turned his mind to the battlefield.
However, he was still unconvinced and complained in his heart.
Wang Renzeng¡¯s party, who discovered Zhang Bangchang and others rushing over, were greeted by several fighting boats cruising on the periphery of the melee.
The battle in the central area has become increasingly fierce.
However, because there was not much room to maneuver on the battlefield, and Wang Renzen also had to prevent the surrounded Amami Islanders from escaping, he arranged a lot of warships on the periphery.
And Zhang Bangchang destroyed the combat effectiveness of the left wing and completely broke the balance here after rushing over.
"Damn it, are all those people on the left eating shit! Why can't they stop these Folangji people? Let them rush over!"
Wang Renzeng also discovered Zhang Bangchang and the others at this time, and saw Zhang Bangchang getting rid of the left wing fleet. The left wing fleet did not even turn around to catch up, and just let the enemy come here.
So, Wang Renzeng was very angry.
He clearly asked the people on the left to try their best to resist these Francois, but he never expected that these guys on the left were so fucked up.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Trash!
They are all trash!
¡°They can¡¯t even do such a small thing well, what else can they do.
Because of his attention just now. They were always placed here, so he didn't see the situation on the left wing.
It is even more impossible to know that now the left wing has been crippled.
A large warship on the left wing, whether it is a building ship or a fighting ship. When they all passed Zhang Bangchang, they were severely injured by artillery and lost the strength to continue fighting.
Even 80% of the large warships have been completely destroyed, and the cabins have begun to leak and are about to sink.
The remaining 20% ??of the ships. Now we are rescuing brothers on other ships.
So, how could they stop people like Zhang Bangchang?
And, in Wang Renzeng¡¯s eyes. These people who drive Folangji ships are Folangji people. Rather than being like those in the left-wing fleet, they already know who is driving these ships.
"Get ready! Turn the rudder to the left, and the gunners on the left are ready!"
Wang Renzeng¡¯s sideThe ship came up, and Zhang Bangchang immediately issued a series of combat orders.
Since the close-range shelling tactic works, Zhang Bangchang decided to continue using this tactic.
It is not impossible for one trick to be popular all over the world.
"Get ready! Catapults, ballistas!"
The fighting boats were approaching quickly, and the captains of the fighting boats on Wang Renzeng's side also began to shout orders loudly.
Nineteen warships were lined up in a row, once again assuming the previous formation.
"Tell everyone, after rushing in, you can fight on your own. It is impossible to maintain the formation in the melee, but please remember, you must ensure that one bombardment can be aimed at two targets."
The flag bearer at the top of the pole used flag language to convey Zhang Bangchang¡¯s order.
shoot!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Soon, the fighting boat came close.
What I have to say here is that the pirates under Wang Renzeng are indeed extremely elite. They were actually able to take the lead and shoot the arrows in their hands first.
Unfortunately, they encountered the wrong enemy.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
The arrows were blocked by transparent and strange shields, and they bounced off and fell into the sea.
What the hell is that? Are they playing tricks?
Because the anti-riot shield is made of transparent hard plastic, if you don¡¯t look carefully, you would think that the arrows were deflected by the air.
Therefore, the pirates on Wang Renzeng¡¯s fighting boat who came up to him widened their eyes in shock.
And they actually thought that the other party used some magic or magical means to achieve this.
Musket! put!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom boom boom!
However, the enemy on the opposite side would not let them stay in a daze for such a long time. Their enemy counterattacked (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
