The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2815: The first successful artillery combat drill at sea

The so-called blooming bullet is actually a hollow bullet, but it is cast into a conical bullet body, and the opening is in the front.

Fill the projectile with gunpowder, broken iron pieces and lead pellets, and finally place leads at the opening.

Finally, before launching, between the propellant and the shell, a piece of wood, that is, a wooden shell, will be used to separate it.

After the gun is fired, the extremely high temperature generated by the combustion of the propellant during the firing of the gun will leak forward in the gap between the barrel and the shell.

The lead was ignited as the gun was fired. Since the shell is conical, the flight will be more stable after exiting the chamber.

When the line letter is burnt out, the shell will explode violently, causing a splintering damage to the surrounding area.

The flower bomb is the inspiration that Cheng Chubi got during his many tests of flying thunder cannons.

Because flying thunder cannons do not rely on fragmentation to kill, but rely on charging, and then charging, using the destructive force generated by violent explosions to do things.

But of course you can't use it like this on the boat, after all, your old money is really not enough to be so frustrating.

After all, he made nitroglycerin before, just to cure diseases and save people. Although there are a lot of reserves, once it is applied to the military, it will be a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Cheng Sablang, who has a very active mind, came up with such a trick and moved the explosive bomb to the gunboat for use.

And after the previous test firing, the effect was quite good. Out of ten, eight bursts were able to explode successfully.

However, if it is thrown on the sea, it is not good enough, but no matter what, the weight of the bomb is enough to damage the side of the ship.

In a word, even if Lao Tzu doesn't explode, he can still poke you in the heart.

Soon, the three warships bypassed the position where the unfortunate target ship No. 1 sank, and outflanked the target ship No. 2.

The No. 1 target ship is an old fighting ship, and the No. 2 target ship is an old and old building ship.

No way, the Dengzhou navy of the Tang Dynasty inherited the navy of the previous dynasty, and most of the equipment inherited the legacy of the former Sui navy.

Moreover, many of these navy ships have existed since the early Sui Dynasty, just like the building ships floating on the sea at this moment, which look like old people.

I am afraid that the age of this building ship is a decade or two older than the age of Li Ji, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.

It has been soaked in the magnificent sea for decades, typical of old and shabby.

Although the three building ships that Cheng Sablang transformed were not much younger than this target ship, and although there were some rot and damage in some places, they were still in good condition.

#####

At this moment, the Dengzhou navy soldiers who were driving their respective battleships to watch from a distance, saw that a group of bigwigs here seemed to have no reaction to being watched, so they were bold enough to get together two or three miles away.

"Xiaocheng Taibao, all the ships are ready, please also Xiaocheng Taibao..." General Wu Zhonglang came to Cheng Sanlang and reported loudly.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a few strong coughs, and Cheng Chubi's face darkened.

In my heart, I almost launched a trash talk attack on this shameless elder.

King Qi Li Ke also had a dozen bright mirrors in his heart, the corner of his mouth grinned, and he smiled at Li Ji, the chief of the Qingzhou Grand Governor's Office, Shi Wenwen.

"Prince Ying is my famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Today, I will invite Duke Ying to preside over the test firing of new weapons in the Tang Dynasty."

"Since the commander-in-chief has orders, this old man dares to disobey, pass my order, and fire on the target ship, all of them!"

As soon as this statement came out, Yigan had already loaded the blooming bullets, and the family members of Yichen who were ready to send out the thick incense with their fingers, heard this order that was very different from the previous ones.

After hesitating for a while, the artillery of various manipulations were ignited one after another.

Those elites of the Tang Dengzhou navy who were watching from the outside for two or three miles continued to follow the loud noise that shook the world.

I saw the sides of the three gunboats, and thick white smoke spewed out, like a magic beast, covering the sides of the three gunboats.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the dilapidated building ship that was swaying on the sea seemed to have accidentally pressed the switch, and it was like a sudden epilepsy, and it trembled frantically.

The tremor has not yet ended, and clusters of orange-red, wrapped in thick smoke, suddenly burst out from the inside and outside of this dilapidated building...

The loud noise that was even more heart-pounding than before was incessant, and although the ship was very dilapidated, but the main structure was still solid, in the eyes of all observers.

With the rising and falling of those flames, the flying fragments recklessly flew in the cabin and beside the ship, sweeping away all obstacles.

At the front of the ship, the huge power generated by the explosion of several blooming bombs almost simultaneously exploded the hull directly.

A huge hole so large that a carriage could pass through appeared in front of everyone.

Although the round of shelling didn't last long, after the shelling ended, raging flames were ignited everywhere on the ship.

In the raging flames, the hull of the ship with the huge breach only supported a dozen or so breaths of effort, and then there was a creaking and unpleasant fracture on the body.

The bow and hull of the ship broke into two pieces, and then while burning a roaring flame, it sank slowly towards the depths of the deep sea...

"..." Wu Zhonglang grinned exaggeratedly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com staring at the dilapidated building, after a salvo, it was torn apart and buried at the bottom of the sea.

#####

In a small amount of time, on the sea, only the broken wooden boards, rags, and fragments of sails were swaying on the sea, and there were even some afterglow and blue smoke lingering.

Li Ji looked at all this with a blank expression, the corners of his eyes were always twitching, and the corners of his mouth kept grinning.

In the sleeves that no one noticed, Li Ji rubbed his fingers, letting the beard that he accidentally tucked off due to excessive shock fall freely.

Li Ke put his thumbs up towards Cheng Chubi with an expression on his face that was right.

"Brother Chubi, that's not bad, you can actually blow up and sink such a huge building and ship with a single salvo from such a long distance."

"If there is an enemy coming from the sea, if I, Tang Dynasty, fight with gunboats, I can wipe out all the thieves and bandits at sea."

Before Li Ke was able to boast proudly, he heard Chai Lingwu, who was not far away, solemnly sigh.

"Brother Chubi can have such a wonderful idea. It's really amazing. It's just that on this sea, if there is bad weather, what should I do?"

"Look at these gunboats, although they are placed under the deck, they leak from all sides, and they must not be able to block the wind and rain."

"I said Lao Chai, don't be silly if you don't understand, this isn't a gunship specially designed to use these artillery pieces, it's normal to have flaws, why, you still want to show off, make a proposal, and go back and get some credit. right?"

"…"
