Rise of Another World: I Have an Empire System

Goryeo, Jeolla, Jindo, Mingryang.

Plop, plop!Since the ships on both sides were moving quickly, the dozens of shells fired by the Chiyang Fuchuan formation all missed their targets. Those big or small lumps of lead and iron either flew high over the house boats, auxiliary boats, or He exhausted all his strength and landed less than ten meters away from the latter!

In short, apart from stirring up high or short water columns, these cannonball scatterers propelled by high-quality black powder did not have any impact on the latter at all!The six- to seven-foot-long wooden house boat and the auxiliary boat didn't even lose a piece of its patent leather. With the hard paddling of the bare-chested paddlers, they easily avoided the hail of bullets!

Then, in line with the idea of ​​never reciprocating, these Goryeo ships gradually moved forward at a full pace, and began to adjust the muzzles of the shipborne artillery under the command of the leaders, and fired at Chiyang's Fuchuan formation. Shotgun scattering!Of course, at this distance, the old artillery on the Korean ship could not hit the swaying Chiyang warship. The cannonballs they fired did not even reach the side of the latter, and they fell into it due to exhaustion. In the blue water!

Next, the Goryeo archers accompanying the ship splashed several waves of gunpowder-assisted magical arrows at Chiyang's warship, but this also failed to cause any damage to the rushing sentry ship Haicang!After all, the dramas and movies about the Great Universe Empire in later generations were just a shot. Those crudely made gunpowder arrows were thrown out by archers using horn bows, and they could penetrate the deck of enemy ships. In addition, they could also produce powerful effects. Huge explosion!

This is a little unreliable when you think about it. If those so-called magic arrows could have such power, how could the Ming army in Liaodong be suppressed and beaten by those uncivilized Jurchen barbarians, and even the dignity of the imperial court would be ruined? Can't even keep it!Therefore, we should not be too blindly trusting in these seemingly powerful magical arrows, and reality soon confirmed this. Not only did most of the gunpowder arrows fired by the Goryeo archers fail to hit the target, but occasionally a few shot scattered. The arrow that hit him was quickly pulled out by the handymen on the Chiyang ship!

As for explosions, they don't exist. Not to mention that the Koreans are short of gunpowder and use inferior black gunpowder. At this time, the wealthy Ming Dynasty has a swarm of military equipment and hundreds of tigers running at once. Relying on sharp arrows to kill enemies, if you can't even guarantee the accuracy of firing them, how can they explode!Therefore, those gunpowder arrows shot out like locusts only brought a little trouble to the Chiyang sailors and handymen!In the final analysis, the winner of the battle still depends on artillery, especially the long-barreled, large-caliber naval heavy artillery!

"Keep a distance from the enemy ships! Remember, our mission is to slow down the enemy's sailing speed. We must not engage in close combat with enemy ships unless necessary! As for killing the enemy, our fleet has special gunboats, let them go Just deal with those stick warships..."

Ignoring the rivalry between the Fu Chuan fleet and the Goryeo fleet, the Chiyang warship formation, which has a solid hull and advanced heavy artillery, has been under the command of Gu Wenlai, Lin Ah Shui and others, with the help of the huge thrust of the sails, Quietly detoured back to the side of the Korean fleet!Next, following the orders from Gu and Lin, more than a dozen or twenty forward-loaded smoothbore artillery pieces that had been ready to go immediately spouted thick smoke at the fighting Goryeo cabin fleet. Long flames and heavy shells!

"Crackling..."

"Uh uh uh……"

"Crack clap..."

Since the effective range of both the Caron Cannon and the Hongyi Cannon is far beyond 500 meters, the Chiyang ship-borne artillery that suddenly opened fire achieved a very good record this time!Driven by high-quality black powder, more than a dozen heavy and powerful iron bullets broke free from the shackles of the thick barrel at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see with the naked eye, and then flew three, 500 meters away with devastating power. The Korean fleet outside!

Next, there is nothing next!Although only one-third of the dozen or so cannonballs that came out of the barrel successfully hit the target, and the rest fell into the sea water, this was enough!The kinetic energy carried by those twelve-pound, eighteen-pound, or even 24-pound cannonballs is far beyond what little guys like three-pound, six-pound, and nine-pound cannons can!

The moment they hit or grazed an enemy ship, they burst out with staggering power. The huge spherical shells, driven by high-quality black powder, penetrated like hot knives cutting through butter, tearing apart the cabin boats. The original solid and thick ship planks not only penetrated and tore apart the original solid and thick planks of the wooden house ship, but even the wood splinters and splinters that shot out could cause huge casualties to the Korean sailors and artillerymen!

Therefore, as a round of fast and fierce bombardment ended, a scream of ghosts and wolves howled immediately from the originally noisy cabin boat!Those sailors and artillerymen who were suddenly attacked were on the open deck. Therefore, facing the heavy artillery shells fired from the Chiyang warship, there was no way to hide or escape!One round of shelling, Chiyang only used one round of shelling, caused heavy casualties to the Koreans on the wooden house boat, and the blood flowed into the river!

"On the side, there are also Kun thief's warships on the side of our fleet! Hurry up, quickly allocate some manpower to deal with them, don't let them continue firing! Otherwise, we will be really in danger!"

He had no time to pay attention to the sailors and artillerymen who suffered heavy casualties, and he had no time to check the damage of his own ships. At this moment, Zhang Huaiyi, the general of the Goryeo navy who was standing on the large wooden house ship and commanding the battle, pushed away the personal guards in front of him, and then pulled out his weapon. With a sword on his waist, he began to command his fleet to counterattack accordingly!

So the next moment, the huge roar of the cannon fired was heard again from the wooden house boat. At the same time, there were five or six medium-sized wooden house boats and seven or eight small wooden house boats. After hearing the order, they turned their bows and headed towards the Chiyang warship. The sea area where the formation was located rushed over fiercely!The poor Koreans are still living in the dream of the past, thinking that the artillery on the pirate ship cannot penetrate the deck of their own warship!Therefore, relying on the absolute advantage in the number of their own warships, these Goryeo naval forces immediately sailed together after receiving the order to attack, and rushed like hungry wolves towards the Chiyang warship formation that was nervously loading artillery!They want to close the distance between the two sides as much as possible before the other side's second bombardment, and then start their best hand-to-hand combat!

However, Chiyang is not a fool, so he is not willing to sit back and watch them approach!I saw the Chiyang artillerymen on the Galen ship, the old lock ship, and the military rice boat quickly loading the ship-borne artillery at an unimaginable speed, then adjusting the firing angle, aiming at the menacing wooden house fleet and firing another Here comes a dense volley!

This time, since the distance between the two sides has been shortened to less than 300 meters, the hit rate of Chiyang's ship-borne artillery is higher than in the previous round, and at the same time, their lethality has also become greater!Especially the 24-pound and [-]-pound carron cannons that Conlin drew during the lottery. Its power is simply to kill a god if it blocks a god, and kill a Buddha if it blocks a Buddha. Anything and any human body that stands in the way of the cannonball will be easily killed by it. Smashed to pieces!Some shells that are lucky enough can even severely damage or even sink a small cabin boat!

"Quickly, launch the blunderbuss arrows and divine machine arrows to counterattack! If we continue to be beaten passively, if one of us does not do it well, we may not even be able to reach the enemy's side, and we will be sunk by those thief warships with artillery! Now! , everyone listens to X’s order, quickly adjust the muzzle of the gun, draw the horn bow, aim at the enemy ship and give X a hard hit!”

Seeing the unparalleled power of the artillery on the enemy ship, Zhang Huaiyi, the general of the Goryeo navy, couldn't help but feel heartbroken!Although he is not a veteran on the battlefield, he has experienced many battles with his general Zhang Shen, and he is not an ignorant rookie either!The enemies I have encountered in my life are nothing more than water pirates struggling to survive, and at most they are Japanese soldiers from the four islands. I have never encountered an enemy with strong boats and powerful guns like Chiyang!So, with a hoarse scream, the unsuspecting Goryeo navy was instantly stunned by the former's ferocious artillery fire. Those navy and artillerymen who originally performed quite well should not suffer at their level. After suffering numerous casualties, they immediately began their clumsy performance on the narrow and cramped deck of the cabin ship!And this just gave Chi Yang a better opportunity to attack!

"Gunshot, switch to shotgun, aim at the Korean deck and hit someone hard..."

Clean the barrel, load the propellant, stuff the shotshells in the iron cylinder, and then pour enough primer at the fire door. Finally, following the orders from the leaders, Chiyang's gunners immediately used the blazing torches in their hands. The powder of the artillery was ignited!The next moment, with loud rumbling noises, two old lock ships, two small Galen ships, and two military rice boats sprayed out hail-like cannons in an instant!

"Don't stop, keep reloading, keep firing! Let's not give those Koreans time to react. Even if we use artillery shells today, we will defeat all the naval forces under Yuan Dou Pyo..."

Seeing that the sturdy hull of the ship that the Koreans were originally proud of was riddled with holes under the attack of shotguns, Kang Lin, the leader of Chiyang, couldn't help stroking the ornately decorated railings on the poop and exclaiming that he was a strange person from later generations. As a world traveler, I have always longed for the magnificent age of navigation, believing that that is the golden age that the two passionate young men should live in!

However, as the saying goes, imagination is plump, but reality is skinny!Just when he was brought to this dangerous world from later generations by that bullish imperial system, he discovered that the enemies he encountered were not the European navies and pirates with strong ships and powerful guns as he had imagined, but some ships with powerful guns. Japanese pirates, pirates, and natives with little equipment,

Even the best among them, the Goryeo navy, whose combat power is at its ceiling, has only a combination of galleys and blunderbuss. The battle is not a passionate line battle at all, but a close battle. After the distance, start the primitive melee fighting!All this has changed until today!

Thanks to the great blessings of the imperial system, he was finally lucky enough to witness the volley of heavy artillery fire from European galleons today!Although the ship was a smaller Galen ship or an old lock ship, and its cannons were only eighteen-pound and 24-pound carronade cannons, the combination of the two produced a combat power that really made this guy feel intoxicated!
