new naval gun

East China Sea, Glen Islands.

This is the home of the Creek Pirates, as long as the navy in the East China Sea knows about it.

but...

After so many years, no branch dared to go here.

Different from other pirates, the size of the Creek Pirates is simply too large, and its number can even be compared to the total strength of the 20 East China Sea branches. Gram's men are much stronger.

In addition, Crick also has a super battleship armed to the teeth, and a large fleet of other large and medium-sized battleships, which makes all the East China Sea navies dare not act rashly.

Although Smog is stronger than Crick, it is also on a personal level, and the navy under his command is still unlikely to be the opponent of the more than 3,000 fierce pirates.

You can't kill Crick by yourself, but at the same time, the Crick Pirates also killed all the navies under their command, right?

Therefore, even though Smoker once had this idea, he never did it because of such concerns.

------

At this moment.

A large warship has approached the Glen Islands less than thirty nautical miles away.

"Colonel, at one o'clock, we found three ships of the Creek Pirates, about ten nautical miles away!"

On the watchtower, a sailor shouted in the direction of the bow deck with a telescope in hand.

"Inform all gunners to get ready!"

Eyes narrowed, Smoker immediately ordered.

I still remember what Li Yan said to me before going to sea.

"Brother Smog, with your current strength and the group of elite marines I assigned to you, it is not difficult to solve the Creek Pirates, but..."

"Your mission is not just that, in addition to Nuoqigao, I will also let Larnas bring 20 sailors with you, their mission is to test the new naval gun, and your mission is It's to make sure they get the test done!"

"After all, they are the pirate group with the most warships in the East China Sea, aren't they?"

Well, Smoker finally understands why he let himself deal with the Creek Pirates, the real reason is...

Because they have a lot of ships, they are just suitable for testing new naval guns?

The new naval gun...

Standing on the deck, watching the sailors who were busy with their own orders, as well as those naval guns that were completely in the area of ​​​​the navy, with more slender barrels, so-called rifled guns...

Smoker was also extremely curious in his heart.

If nothing else, those cannonballs were completely different from what he was familiar with.

After all, the cannon technology in the pirate world has only developed to the smoothbore gun, and it is still the early stage of the smoothbore gun.

Spherical shells, front loading, poor range, slow rate of fire, and poor accuracy are all hallmarks of early smoothbore guns. Can't see in the original book, are the shells always hit in the sea?

Well, although the performance in the original book is a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable...

Not in the situation of riding on the face, the hit rate of the early smoothbore gun is so outrageous. Generally speaking, if you can still accurately hit a few hundred meters away, then you can go back and buy lottery tickets.

At the same time that the warship discovered the pirate ship, the three pirate ships actually discovered the warship.

Although it was a large warship, Crick's men were not at all panic.

After all, the Crick Pirates have a large and well-armed fleet, including many large battleships, not to mention Crick's flagship, which is comparable in size to the Navy's super warships. battleship.

Of course, they didn't go up and carry their three medium-sized warships, but immediately contacted Creek who was on the island.

Although he was a little surprised that the navy dispatched a large warship, Crick didn't take it seriously at all, and just let his deputy Ajin command several warships to sink the naval warship to the bottom of the sea.

So, Ah Jin directly brought a large warship and five medium warships and set off like this.

"Colonel, the reinforcement fleet of the Creek Pirates is here. There are six in number, one of which is a large battleship, and the other five are medium-sized battleships!"

"Got it!"

Hearing the lookout's report, Smoker nodded, then picked up the binoculars and looked at it.

"A total of one large warship and eight medium warships?"

"Larnas, can you do it?"

While observing with the telescope, Smoker asked Larnas beside him.

"No problem, Colonel Smalls!"

"Okay, then the artillery battle at sea will be left to you. If there is no danger, I will just watch it!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

After a salute, Larnas went to command.

Seeing the back figure leaving, Smoker was also speechless for a while.

This guy was still a third-class soldier a few months ago, right?

This is the lieutenant colonel?

And myself...

Well, after so many years, I haven't experienced what it's like to be promoted!

The distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing. One side has nine battleships, while the other side has only one. No matter how you look at it, this is an absolute crushing situation.

And after the distance was reduced to within 3 kilometers, all the pirates were stunned.

Boom boom boom boom...

The naval warship in the distance actually fired?

There are still nearly 3000 meters...

Well, although the distance is too far to hear the sound of cannon fire, the flashes of fire on the naval ships all prove that the cannon has indeed been fired on the navy side!

In this era of only early smoothbore guns, a 3000-meter shelling was originally a fantasy. Not to mention hitting the target, even the maximum range could not reach this distance~www.mtlnovel.com~ However, they I don't know, the guns used on the opposite warships are not smoothbore guns, but rifled guns...

The high-speed rotating cannonball, like piercing the air, flew in the air, and even caused a huge whistling sound.

Although they were surprised for a second or two, after they reacted, the pirates didn't panic at all, instead they showed playful smiles on their faces.

If this can be beaten, I will immediately strip off and jump into the sea to feed the fish!

On one of the medium-sized warships, a pirate laughed while laughing, and his heart stood up.

However, in the next second, a sense of weightlessness suddenly struck, and by the time he reacted, the whole person was already flying into the sky.

bang bang...

Two shells directly hit the battleship he was on, and one of them hit the upper cabin, directly blowing up the entire superstructure.

The other shell hit the middle of its side spin, instantly smashing the battleship into two pieces.

Although the remaining ten shells did not hit, the landing points were basically within 50 meters, and their explosions set off waves of more than ten meters high, causing other warships around them to shake constantly. Many pirates even flew directly into the sea.

Looking at the two pieces of debris that were slowly sinking in the water and countless pirates falling into the water, Ah Jin also realized that it was not good!

He finally knew why there was only one warship in the navy, and why he still didn't run away after seeing the entire nine warships on his side!

Three kilometers away, twelve rounds and two hits, coupled with such an outrageous cannonball.

This is obviously a new weapon for the Navy, shouldn't it...

Are you using our Creek Pirates to test new weapons?
