Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 739

The effective range of a rifled flintlock rifle firing the Minié bullet is 800 meters, but at this distance there is no way to guarantee where the bullet will fly.

It can be said that the accuracy is almost zero. If you can't hit the person, you can't suppress the Japanese pirates who operate the artillery.

At the same time, they will be exposed to the attack range of artillery. If they want to achieve fire suppression, they must be at least 500 meters close.

At this distance, even if the accuracy is not enough, the person operating the artillery can be hit by relying on the number and frequency of attacks.

This is why Wei Wu asked Lan Yu to move the army to a position 900 meters away from Ridaka Castle.

Of course, there is another more important reason. The closer the navy is to Hidaka Castle, the more ammunition he can save.

Even though Wei Wu has set the distance at 900 meters, he still feels that 400 meters is too far.

If he wasn't worried that the Japanese pirates would be unable to resist opening fire if they got too close to 800 meters, he would really want Lan Yu to move forward a little further.

In fact, this really cannot be blamed on Wei Wu being stingy. The main reason is that the firing rate of the Vulcan machine gun is too fast and it is impossible to control it.

What does a firing rate of 6,000 rounds per minute mean? If you lose focus for a moment, hundreds of bullets may be gone.

If you calculate carefully, it will take a normal person about one minute to cover a distance of 400 meters at full speed.

The navy had more than 20,000 men, and with the battlefield being so crowded, it was impossible for them to run at full speed.

Not to mention that they were carrying rifled flintlock rifles and ammunition, so they could be proud of themselves for being able to reach Weiwu within two minutes.

Twelve thousand bullets in two minutes, and not many Japanese pirates were killed. Anyone would feel the pain.

Looking at the navy that had assembled 900 meters away from the battlefield, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah! There's nothing I can do. After all, if you want to be a hero, you have to pay the price. I can only grit my teeth and persevere!"

He muttered something to himself, then Wei Wu picked up the walkie-talkie with a determined look.

"You can order the soldiers to charge now. Remember, when you reach about 150 feet, open fire to suppress the Japanese pirates' artillery."

After saying that, Wei Wu flipped his wrist to take back the walkie-talkie, then picked up the telescope and looked towards the direction of Hidaka Castle again.

Because of the navy's overwhelming force, the Japanese pirates were ready to fire at the navy at any time.

Seeing this, Wei Wu did not hesitate at all. He grabbed the Vulcan machine gun tightly and aimed it at the artillery array outside Hidaka City.

"Namo Vulcan Cannon Bodhisattva, the six pure high-explosive bombs, one breath three thousand six hundred revolutions, with great compassion to send you to the Western Paradise!"

After saying this with a smile on his face, Wei Wu's hand was already on the trigger.

"Feel the terror of the metal storm!"

In an instant, the muzzle of the Vulcan machine gun rotated at high speed and swept through the Japanese pirates' artillery array under Wei Wu's operation.

Chichichichichichi!!!

Unlike other firearms, the Vulcan cannon does not make continuous explosions like firecrackers when fired.

On the contrary, when the ammunition belt was pulled, the metal friction made a sound like a sewing machine running at high speed, which was louder than the gunshot.

As the flames appeared at the muzzle, dense metal bullets shot out at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

The words are divided into two parts.

Just a second before Wei Wu opened fire, the Japanese pirates were still excitedly discussing how to reward their soldiers after the war.

After all, they are now fighting against the Ming army, and they are fully confident that they can win this war.

By then, the surrounding countries will know that Japan defeated the Ming Dynasty and slaughtered all the Ming troops.

The Emperor and the Shogun would certainly be happy about this and would reward these soldiers generously.

As the navy approached, the soldiers on the Japanese pirate side became excited, and many of them were roaring in their hearts.

"Come closer, come closer, why are you stopping? Don't stop! I'm about to fire!"
