Chapter 279 The Big Bang

(Solemnly say: This book on the PC side is blocked, please use Qidian APP to read the genuine version! The APP is updated normally, there is no way to crack down on it!)

As soon as they entered the port, the Black Pearl and the Interceptor began to deviate a little bit to the outside. The two of them knew everything. No matter whether the war was won or lost, Wang Xuan must have had the upper hand at the beginning.

Under the fierce artillery fire, the warships in the middle and front ranks must definitely receive special attention.

Sure enough... After the first blast of the artillery, there was no pause at all, and more than 200 artillery pieces were roaring non-stop at the rate of one shot per minute.

Dense artillery shells swept into the pirate fleet like a sandstorm. Wang Xuan had already ordered that the first targets were those warships refitted from armed merchant ships. Immediately, the smashed ship board fragments flew all over the sea in the entire port, booming. The booming sound was mixed with a lot of miserable howls, and people were thrown out of the hull from time to time.

These warships were the most numerous and were used to transport a large number of pirates. Once they were allowed to approach and thousands of people rushed to the port, Wang Xuan was not sure that he would be able to withstand it!
Moreover, these warships are the most fragile. Once they are sunk, the situation in the port will be more complicated. Blocking the channel is almost certain. The fundamental purpose is to make it difficult for those real warships to move.

It would be impossible to attack the port by relying solely on the naval guns on the ship. When the time comes, the two sides will be blocked, and the enemy will inevitably be unable to fly.

The pirates were also stunned by Wang Xuan's non-stop artillery fire.

The number of cannons far exceeds the 30 heavy cannons known in advance. Although the others are mostly 24-pound and 12-pound, the power is much smaller, but they can't hold up to a large number!
Of course, in fact, more than 40 warships will come to the door, and the number of artillery will only increase, and the overall number of artillery will exceed a thousand!

The 3 big pirates alone brought 14 old-fashioned battleships with more than 600 cannons. Adding in the battleships of the other 1400 small pirate groups, the total number of cannons was close to [-]!
However, the problem is that the artillery is on both sides of the ship at this time, and the pirate ships are almost always facing the port with their bows, and almost all of them are in a situation where they are beaten and cannot fight back. This makes 1400 artillery pieces when facing 200 artillery pieces Still in a passive beating situation.

The area in the port must be limited, and it is impossible to allow 40 pirate ships to play freely, even if they all face the port with one side string!

In the panic, the shortcomings of the pirates' lack of unified command and mob broke out. Some wanted to advance, some wanted to retreat, and some wanted to turn to fight back from the sidestring. Suddenly, more than 40 ships were entangled in front of the port. .

However, Wang Xuan's army, who had been prepared for a long time, fired artillery in an orderly manner, firing nearly 10 rounds of rapid fire, and nearly 3000 shells were shot out. It was only at this moment that the barrel was overheated before slowly slowing down. The roar was not as dense as it was at first.

This series of quick shots made the pirates cry. Almost none of the pirate ships were left undamaged, with as many as a dozen bullets and as few as three or five bullets.

The only pity is that only one was actually sunk. Although the others suffered injuries of varying sizes, they were all warships after all. Even modified armed merchant ships were not so easy to sink!

The real heavy artillery is only 30 36-pound guns!

For other 24-pound guns, if you want to sink a battleship, unless you hit the waterline just right, otherwise...it is very difficult!
The artillery fire stopped for a while, and the pirates also realized that it is not an option to continue this chaos, and...Although the artillery fire at the port seems violent, it seems that the lethality is not particularly great!
The pirates naturally had their own way of delivering messages. After a brief communication, the 30-year-old small pirate ships all began to adjust their course against the gunfire, and rushed straight towards the port pier.

Fortunately, everyone was entangled with each other just now, and now it takes a long time to separate.

Wang Xuan quickly sent an order to stop the artillery fire for a while, to give the barrel some time to cool down, and prepare for the next round of intensive artillery fire.

In the entire history of the use of artillery, the more intensive the use of artillery, the greater the power. If you continue to shoot like this, it will only give the enemy enough breathing room!
Moreover, if you put it in a little bit, it will be more powerful.

There was a brief silence on the battlefield, but everyone knew that this was preparations for the final battle.

Seven or eight minutes later, under the constant use of water-soaked brushes by the sailors to cool down, the artillery was almost cooled, and the pirates on the opposite side had almost adjusted their course.

Wang Xuan did not immediately order the artillery to start firing, but ordered everyone to wait!
At this time, the main warships of the three major pirates also adjusted their direction, and the side strings opened nearly 400 large and small artillery pieces and began to aim at the entire port!
"Boom boom boom..." The pirates started shelling first.

There was a rain of shells on the port!
Fortunately, the port has enough fortifications, and it is difficult for this simple solid iron shell to cause too much damage.

Moreover, since the carrier of the artillery is a sailboat, the artillery cannot be fired at the same time, otherwise the hull will roll over, and they can only be fired in sequence, leaving enough gaps for the hull to restore balance, which makes it difficult to guarantee accuracy.

Therefore, under the bombardment of the seemingly scary 400 large and small artillery, the entire defensive position did not suffer much damage.

Under the cover of the pirate ship's guns, the pirate ship began to approach the port rapidly.

However, no one cared about the six ships parked sideways in front of the port.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, some of the pirate ships had already approached the several parked ships. Wang Xuan gave an order, and several six-pound guns prepared earlier took out red-hot shells from the stove and stuffed them into the muzzles.

"Boom..." Several cannons fired, and six burnt red projectiles hit the positions calibrated in advance, and immediately ignited the gunpowder barrels on the ship!

There were six huge explosions. Wang Xuan placed more than 10 gunpowder on each ship. The gunpowder weighing nearly 2000 kilograms exploded. Six huge fireballs rose at the same time, and six small mushroom clouds finally converged into one big mushroom cloud. , covering almost the entire port front end.

More than 12000 catties of gunpowder exploded at six points at the same time. Even if it was just black gunpowder, the power it caused was enough to destroy everything nearby!

The huge roar shook the entire Nachu port, and the violent wind pressure directly covered everything within a radius of 200 meters. Fortunately, Wang Xuan and others hid behind the bunkers, but their ears rumbled after being shaken. My mind was dizzy for a while, and double images appeared when I saw things.

But the pirate ships within the coverage area were miserable. All the pirates on the deck were blown away, some of them were simply shocked and bled to death, and most of the others fell unconscious and fell into the sea.

The keels of the dozens of nearby pirate ships were simply broken by the bombing, and the hulls were cracked.
