"Ah..." the captain just stood still and was knocked to the ground by a huge explosion

"It's a hit, we're a hit," a Chu State navy shouted excitedly

"Don't care how many hits you get, immediately focus your firepower on these merchant ships of the Qin State," Xiang Yan ordered loudly at this time

"Here," a Chu official replied loudly.

"Concentrate firepower and shoot!" Grandmaster Chu shouted loudly

At this time, the armed merchant fleet organized by the armed merchant ships of the Qin State was attacked by many cannons from the Chu State Navy.

"Damn our ship was hit" At this time, the sailors covered in blood came to report

"Damn it," the captain got up again and cursed

"What's going on?" asked the captain.

&nbt;Our cargo hold was hit and it's leaking over there," replied the sailor

"Quickly order our people to rush to repair it," the first officer shouted

"How to fix it?" asked the sailor

"Think of a way to block it with wood and sackcloth," the captain shouted loudly

"We must leave this ghost place quickly," the captain said at this time

"The situation around us is not very good," said the pilot of the ship at this time

"The Nagahira was hit and caught fire," a sailor reported at this time

"What?" the captain asked loudly.

Sure enough, on the side of the ship, an ironclad ship of the same type was hit on the hull, billowing black smoke was already rising from the hull, and the smoke had already covered the entire superstructure of the ship.

"The Changping was actually shot," the captain said at this time

"Sir, we were also shot, we have to find a way," said a trainee officer at this time

"We have to get out of here," said the captain

"Forward fast forward" the captain shouted loudly

The shore artillery unit of the Chu State Navy uses bronze cannons that are commonly used. The Chu State Water Army artillery force is equipped with such cannons as Grandma’s. The number of them has reached an astonishing more than 200 pieces. The number of artillery pieces invested by the Chu State Navy this time It can be said that the density of the artillery is quite high after passing more than 60 doors at once.

The iron-clad ships of the State of Qin began to simplify and shrink them on a large scale after using steel welding technology. Steel plates can be made into a whole with welding technology, but the price of steel and the production demand of steel plates cannot meet the needs of shipyards. Under such conditions, the shipyards of Qin State began to study a shipbuilding method with low cost and relatively simple production process.

The engineers turned their attention to iron armor because welding iron plates is much easier than welding steel plates. The most important thing is that the cost of iron plates is much lower than that of steel plates. The production cost of steel plates is very high, so the iron armor ship was born.

The birth of the iron-clad ship complied with the needs of the times. Because steel plate production and welding technology could not meet the increasing demand for shipbuilding, an emergency measure was born.

While the iron-clad ship was launched quickly, they also simplified another process, that is, they built a single-hull ship instead of a double-hull ship. This ship is easier to manufacture and lower in cost, but its defense capability is reduced a lot, but they face The opponents are water pirates and Chu State water army who rarely use rifles, so there is still a big market for this kind of ship

However, the situation changed rapidly after the Chu State Navy quickly equipped a large number of artillery pieces. The solid shells directly penetrated the single-hull hull of the iron-clad ship, and even some grenades pierced through its weak iron armor. The shells hit the cabin. Causing the Ironclad to hit fire

"The Changping ship has rolled!" At this time, a sailor shouted loudly

"Shut up" the captain shouted loudly ()l3l4

The bombardment of the "Boom" artillery is still going on, but the entire ironclad fleet of the Qin army can't fight back because the ironclad ships are equipped with machine guns instead of artillery. Even the ironclad ships equipped with artillery are abandoned because the artillery is too heavy and the cost is high.

The range of the machine gun is not comparable to those of the artillery. Although the range of the old artillery is not very far, it is still farther than the range of the machine gun. Facing the attack of the shore-based artillery of the Chu State Navy, the Qin army had no countermeasures for a while.

"Counterattack counterattack!" The captain of an iron-clad ship named after the traditional surname "Bai" of Qin State shouted loudly

"Fast counterattack by machine gunners," the captain yelled loudly.

"Where's the machine gunner?" the captain yelled loudly

And on the deck of the ship, the machine gun operator curled up on the deck

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" the ship

"Hurry up, machine gunner, we have to fight back," a trainee officer yelled loudly, and he began to pull the machine gun operator into his combat position.

"Hurry up" the trainee officer shouted loudly

There was a loud "boom" and a solid shell directly hit a machine gun firing platform at the tail of the ironclad ship and was hit.

The machine gun operator inside was hit by a solid shell and his whole body was smashed to pieces, blood was everywhere

"Damn it" the trainee officer yelled loudly at the machine gunner because such a bloody scene made the machine gunner lose his ability to fight

"We are going to counterattack now!" The trainee officer shouted loudly to another sailor

"Get into the combat position quickly" the trainee officer shouted loudly

"Yes, sir," replied a sailor, encouraging his courage.

"Load ammunition," said the trainee officer, getting into machine gun firing position

"Clatter!" The sailor on the side still picked up the ammunition chain a little nervously, because the ammunition chain made a rattling sound because of the constant shaking of his hands.

"Don't be nervous," said the cadet officer, looking at the sailor

"Take your time," said the midshipman

"Yes sir," said the midshipman

"Load the ammunition," said the midshipman

"Yes sir" the sailor calmly installed the bullet chain into the

"Click" the trainee officer pulls the bolt to push the bullet to the firing position

"Open fire" the officer cadet yelled and pulled the trigger

The "chug chug chug chug" machine gun sprayed out dazzling tongues of flame, but the flying bullets formed a beautiful arc and entered the Yangtze River

"Damn" midshipman stop shooting this time

"Our bullets have gone into the water," the sailor said when he saw the cadet officer who stopped shooting.

"I know we have to get close to fight back," said the midshipman
