Chapter 300: The Governor makes slaves(2/2)
"My Western cannon is different from our Chu-made cannon." Tang Wen shook his head.
"What's the difference? I took a closer look just now. It's just that the workmanship is more refined. It's not even as heavy as our Dachu artillery." Wan Hansong said.
"What's the use of a heavy cannon? It must be light so it can be moved." Tang Wen shook his head.
"You don't understand this. It's only stable if you hit it hard. Moreover, the impact is strong and the power is greater." Wan Hansong touched his beard and said in an old-fashioned way.
"Elder Ximen, give me a show for Master Wan," Tang Wen said.
"Okay!" Ximen Taigao gave the order, and the rotating chassis under the cannon began to rotate and blasted towards a fishing boat eight or nine miles away. Suddenly, the fishing boat was blown to pieces.
"Huh? Your cannon is much more powerful." Wan Hansong was stunned.
"The fishing boat just now was nearly ten miles away from us, but our Da Chu boat can't reach that far.
Moreover, the cannonballs are more powerful.
A fishing boat like this would only be able to hit three or four of Da Chu's cannonballs, but one of the Duke's cannonballs would sink it." Li Jingyuan nodded.
"Turn on full power and run around to show Master Wan." Tang Wen said again. Ximen Taigao gave an order, and the gunboat quickly sailed into the distance, with water splashing from the stern.
Li Jingyuan was so shocked that he lost all color and exclaimed repeatedly, "Quick, so fast, too fast."
"How many miles can the Sun Country Thief's boat travel in one hour?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"With the force of the wind and the strength of the paddler, we can cover about fifty or sixty miles in one hour," Li Jingyuan said.
"Master Wan, Master Li, do you think how many miles my boat can travel in an hour?" Tang Wen asked with a smile.
"Fast, indeed fast, I can probably run as fast as the two of them." Wan Hansong nodded.
"Of course, my boat can cover one hundred and fifty miles in an hour.
If I try to run away, they won't be able to catch up.
Moreover, the attack range of my cannons was larger, and we had already blown up their ships when their cannons could not hit our ships.
If they are lucky enough to get close, my fire blunderbuss will not be spared.
Because the range of my fire gun is two to three times that of theirs." Tang Wendao.
