C876 fierce to the distance (1/2)
What is tragedy? Even knowing that he was no match for the dead could still be called tragic, but today the French played out a tragic but somewhat ridiculous drama in the Atlantic Ocean, where Don Quixote killed a windmill monster.
The difference in technology was not something that could be filled with courage.
The Parisians shared a common enemy, and wanted to die together with the Zhiyuan Warship to end their lives. Unfortunately, those two musket s weren't powerful enough, and their range couldn't even reach the distant Zhiyuan Warship s.
But the main cannon of the Zhiyuan Warship, at a distance of around a kilometer, its accuracy had already reached to the point of wanting to be terrifying. With a loud boom, a huge hole was blasted open in the scarlet rear deck of the Parisian ship, scattering all the books and miscellaneous items within the Captain's Room into the sea.
Eight years ago, British and French combined forces had completely annihilated the Qing Dynasty's cavalry. That domineering sail fleet of his was enough to suppress hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians and caused them to be beaten up.
However, after using two cannons today, the two armed transport ships at sea had become semi-disabled. The reason why there were no cheers was because the victory had come too suddenly and too simply. Everyone's minds were muddled. The main cannon was now empty, but no one was aware of it.
The Yuyan and the Parisian knew that their end had come. They had already fired at the Zhiyuan Warship from a distance of a thousand meters away, and the accuracy of the old musket could only depend on God's reward.
Bang! The heavy bullets struck the steel armour of the Zhiyuan Warship ship's bow and with a bang, they left a white mark on the ship and rolled into the sea. The soldiers on the deck all laughed.
”ammunition depot... Main Cannon, two high explosive rounds … ”The boiler continues to increase the pressure, allowing our engineers to properly measure and measure the actual combat data …”
The hydraulic transmission mechanism under the deck had locked down the two high explosive projectile s and transported them using the rail to the turret. The soldiers quickly cleaned up the cannon and reloaded the ammunition, and when the two main cannons were aimed at the Parisian ship, the distance between the two ships was less than 600 meters.
Boom! Boom! With two violent explosions, the two main cannons were shot out at intervals of around two seconds. The huge explosion caused the entire Zhiyuan Warship s to tremble.
Dragon-bones, steel decks, compartments... The entire Zhiyuan Warship felt like it was trembling, and even the coal mountain in the boiler room collapsed, almost hitting the sailors who were burning the boiler.
It was no wonder that Xiao Letian had warned him repeatedly when he was designing that the dragon bone must be strengthened and that the structure of the ship must be strengthened. It was not as strong as the recoil from such a huge cannon.
The two high explosive projectile entered the Parisian's wooden hull in an instant. With two explosions, the Parisian was blasted three meters out of the sea before collapsing on the waves. The dazzling explosion and flames were visible to people more than ten miles away.
The shock wave mixed with wood splinters flew in all directions, causing Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen who were hiding inside the cannon emplacement to hear the rain falling down from above, their eyes were filled with shock.
With a loud crash, people looked up to see a solid lead bullet flying through the air and hitting the deck. It was rolling back and forth.
Lin Zhen lowered his head to look at the mess at his feet, and picked up half of his palm before turning and shouting at Kevin: ”Did you see that? This is the deep sea monster you designed... This was too enjoyable! ”F * ck, this is too fun!”
At this moment, Kevin's entire body was trembling with excitement, and he was no longer able to speak properly. What kind of monster did I release!? Will I go to hell? Tell me if I'm going to hell … ”
