He admitted that in order to prevent Chu Ying from causing a catastrophe, he had indeed used a bit of "clever" adjustment while aiming at Duan Yong. That was the only reason the cannonball had merely struck the hull instead of claiming the lives of the government troops on board. However, since this batch of cannons lacked rifling, their accuracy remained poor; this shot had been largely down to luck. If he were forced to try again, it was hard to say whether he could keep hitting the ship without hitting the men.
