Chapter 103 [Santa Maria]

Li Si held his hands behind his back and listened to Kaza's report quietly. As a new country, it was a country with poor coastal defense and most people did not pay attention to coastal defense. Just facing an expedition fleet, the navy lost more than one-fifth, which was a huge loss for the new country.

This means that once Spanish warships come to the Caribbean, it will be a fatal blow to the new republic.

"Please take all the prisoners!" Li Si turned around and looked at Kaza, covered in blood, and said, "You go and clean up the blood on your body first."

"Yes! Sir, I'll wash it off now!" Kaza was not injured in the battle. The blood on his body was all from the enemy. After conveying Li Si's order, he went to wash the blood on his body.

Li Si climbed onto the stern of the Aris and looked at the entire fleet following behind. If the death toll of naval soldiers was not considered, just looking at the ships, this naval battle was a great victory. The large ships alone had already reached thirty, almost twice as much as before departure.

"Although a lot of naval soldiers died, after such trophy was pulled back, more citizens would definitely join the navy!" Li Si murmured: "Especially the cannons on Columbus flagships, although the cannons with the most recent range and the least powerful cannons, are not something that the Native Americans can imagine!"

On Columbus' flagship, there were thirty-six cannons, but because of Li Si's night-hide raid, all of them were taken away by Li Si without having time to come in hand.

There are more than thirty-six cannons, and on some other NPC ships, each large ship is equipped with several. During Li Si's night attack tactic, it was seized by Li Si. There were 62 totals, but all of them were the artillery with the smallest power and the closest range.

[Architecture] The slender cannon using general shells, the artillery that has just been modified for naval combat has been ineffective in power and range.

property:

Throughout: 30

Range: 360

Bullet speed: 3

Explosion range: 1

Reloading speed: 2

How to obtain: Purchase in port city

The main points are the attribute descriptions of cannons:

Throughout force: the higher the value, the stronger the lethality

Range: The higher the value, the further the range

Bullet Speed: The faster the bullet speed, the higher the hit rate, and the higher the chance of chaos.

Explosion range: The higher the value, the more likely it is to occur

Reloading speed: The higher the value, the faster the loading speed

A lot of cannons were seized, but there were not many corresponding shells and gunpowder. In addition to Columbus' flagship, there were still many shells and gunpowder stocks, there were only a few gunpowder and gunpowder on other ships. Li Si could guess that it must be that after the Columbus fleet passed through the storm area, most of the ships had to drop the shells and gunpowder off the ship in order to reduce the weight.

The fleet returning to the voyage was much slower, and it was not until five days later that it returned to Limon Bay. When the fleet was anchored on the dock of Teotihuacan, all the citizens of America were boiling and rushed to the dock to watch the large fleet covering the sky.

"It seems that the Navy won a big victory this time and actually brought back so many big ships!"

"There will definitely be a big victory. With the leadership of Consul Moore, the big victory is certain!"

"That's right, consul Moore is a messenger!"

"The day before yesterday, I heard that tyrant tiger was promoting the arrogant and domineering God of Moore, and he was ungrateful and ungrateful, and he would arrange people behind his back every day!"

"Who said no? I think that guy is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't pay for buying things!"

"Shh! Sigh down, look over there!"

"That guy is here too. I really want to know what he would think of seeing these spoils brought back by Consul Moore!"

The incident of the Navy's return alarmed the Senate. At this time, the elders of the Senate were heading towards the dock under the leadership of the high priest, and the army led by Baohu was guarding the elders.

At this time, Li Si was busy commanding the naval soldiers to transport the captured artillery to the dock. Except for the artillery of the St. Mary, all the other artillery was removed.

In addition to artillery and ships, the trophy also includes tributes seized from Columbus flagships for the Eastern Empire, some exquisite gold crafts and wines, and the most precious one is a pure gold clock with gemstones.

"Where is the consul Moore? Go and call him over, the elder is going to ask questions!" After a senator recovered from shock, he deliberately pretended not to see Li Si busy on the dock, and shouted loudly.

After arriving at the dock, the elders of the Senate were also shocked by the dense ships. So many ships gathered together gave people a completely different visual effect, especially those white sailing ships, who had never seen such white fabrics.

"I'll show you how to use this cannon!" Li Si saw it when the elders arrived. Of course, he also heard the elder pretending to be shouting, but he ignored him. Instead, he ordered the sailors to bring gunpowder and shells over and prepare to test the power of the cannon.

The loading of this first-generation artillery is very difficult. No one can load and launch it yet. Li Si took a lot of effort to successfully load it.

"Optimize the artillery!" Li Si pointed to a pile of stones not far outside the pier and ordered the sailors to turn the artillery.

"Give me the torch!" Li Si took the torch, approached the cannon's lead, turned his head with a joking smile, and said to the veterans who were looking at the cannon curiously: "You'd better cover your ears!"

After saying that, regardless of whether everyone would do what he told him, he directly ignited the lead with a torch.

Saw!

The leads burned out quickly.

boom!

A loud bang, like a thunder blew up, scared everyone who was curiously watching the cannon.

The shells accurately hit the pile of stones. With a bang, the pile of stones exploded, gravel splashed and dust filled the sky.

Li Si's ears were buzzing, and the people watching around him were not much better. They rubbed their ears one by one, and looked in horror as they were blown into debris.

"What is this? It's so awesome!" someone shouted in the crowd, his tone full of horror.

"If this hits people, wouldn't it be to smash everyone to pieces?"

"That's not, it's so scary!"

"Is this Thor's weapon?"

"You don't know this, I heard a sailor say that Consul Moore said that this thing is called artillery, a weapon used in the distant sea."

"Architecture? So awesome!"

There were more and more talk in the crowd, and the high priest heard a lot, and walked out of the crowd and walked towards Li Si.

"Consul Moore, can you explain to me what this is?" the high priest walked to Li Si and asked at the cannon.

"Oh, Lord High Priest!" Li Si suddenly said: "Of course, this is the spoil seized in this battle!"

Li Si talked about artillery to the high priest in detail, and emphasized that in the distant Europe, these artillery were the worst artillery, and there were more powerful artillery than them. He also told the high priest and the elders that this time the fleet was just a fleet of path-seeking, and in the future, there would be ships larger than the ships seized this time to invade. The elders were frightened by the situation depicted by Li Si and their faces changed drastically.

"Then, what should we do then?" An elder asked in horror.

"Well..." Li Si pondered: "So, this requires us to recruit more naval forces and build more ships. We must strengthen our naval forces to resist the enemy's invasion! I suggest that we expand the navy to 10,000 first!"

"No problem!" The high priest spoke at this time, "There are many new tribes joining these days, and the population has increased a lot, so let's expand the navy first!"

"The population has increased?" Li Si opened the territory panel and saw that the population has indeed increased a lot, and it is almost close to 200,000 people. The number is still beating, and new residents are joining every moment. "Is this the system reducing the population?"

After deciding on the Navy, the elders of the Senate left. When they left, Li Si brought them more than a dozen units of wine. The elders who had tried the wine flavors all praised them.

After seeing off the elders, Li Si greeted the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences and began to instruct them to repair the ships and build new ships. Li Si handed them all the drawings exchanged with his merits and told them to study them on their own.

After finishing all this, Li Si finally had time to check out the newly obtained epic ship.
