Chapter 220: Ship Battle

When Xu Hai saw that it was not good, he hurriedly asked the herald to wave the flag to change the formation, so as not to let the assault boat and the crossbow collide head-on.

At this time, I saw the benefits of the assault boat built by Guo Wenying, the rudder speed was extremely fast, and it could not take a straight line, and the ten assault boats quickly retreated in a zigzag shape, dodging left and right to dodge the crossbow, but not a single boat was sunk.

On the big boat, the Nanling Army seemed to be furious, someone scolded the New Southern Army on the street, and the New Southern Army scolded a few words back, but he didn't know what to say, and they all burst into laughter.

At this time, the flag of the big ship was changed, and the two big ships lowered their sampans in unison, and a dozen boats shaped like awls were lowered from the big ship. I don't know what kind of ship it was, the hull was as black as ink, slightly smaller than the assault boat, each hull was covered with iron sheets, and the bow had huge spikes.

Someone knew this ship and couldn't help but shout, "This is the ghost head ship, the most powerful ghost head ship in the Nanling Army." ”

As soon as the boats entered the water, they were like demons in the water, and they rushed towards the assault boats with their huge mouths open. Although this ghost-headed boat was wrapped in iron sheets, it was not heavy, and its hull was flexible, and after a few collisions, the assault boat could not dodge, and several of them had already been sunk.

The New Southern Army immediately organized a defense, and the firecrackers rang out in unison, although several ships were killed, but the ghost head ship was not damaged at all, and the hull was as strong as iron.

Guo Wenying was secretly surprised when she saw it on the shore, wondering in her heart what kind of material this boat was made of, and why was it so hard?

With the addition of the ghost head boat, the assault boat suddenly showed weakness, and for a time the New Southern Army suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for the fire guns to hold on to the death, their ships would have been smashed and scattered in the water.

Xu Hai secretly shouted "terrible", and ordered the flag to wave, making the assault boat change the tactics again. He remembered what Guo Wenying said, and if he couldn't see it, he would let the soldiers put their lives first, so he could only order the soldiers to make one last sprint, and then abandon the ship and escape.

As the flag changed, the remaining dozen or so assault boats quickly assembled, and they all moved closer to the assault boat in Hengsan.

Hengsan threw off his shirt, shirtless and only a pair of water pants, his face was hideous, and he smiled at the big boat on the left, "Damn, I almost shot Lao Tzu just now, and I ended you today." ”

He shouted, "Rush with Lao Tzu." More than a dozen assault boats, hundreds of firearms, escorted him and rushed towards the boat on the right. Halfway through, all the ships suddenly turned around and rushed towards the one on the left.

More than a dozen ghost-headed boats originally saw that the assault boat was rushing to the right side, and they all went to guard the boat on the right, but suddenly saw them turn around quickly, and wanted to follow the U-turn but did not have the agility of the assault boat. It was easy to turn around, and the assault boat had already rushed very close to the big ship.

On the big ship, the Nanling army hurriedly used bows and crossbows, and rows of arrows were shot out of the shields that were blocked in front of the ship, and then the fire was fired in a volley, forcing the big ship to hurriedly transfer the ghost head ship to come over to guard. But at this time, it was too late to adjust again, and Hengsan shouted, "Spread out—"

All the assault boats turned around again and scattered, and the New Southern Army on board "plopped" and jumped into the water one by one.

Yokosan laughed, lit a fire with his clothes, threw it at his feet, and then jumped into the water as well.

This time was too sudden, who hasn't figured out what's going on, an unmanned assault boat has already rushed towards the big ship, and the boat has a fire on it, as if it has already ignited. Immediately after the moment it crashed into the big ship, a huge explosion sounded, and the entire Yangshui River was shaken.

The big ship of the Nanling Army instantly fell into the flames, and the huge hull split apart, making a "click" sound, and slowly sank into the water with a huge fire mass with the fluctuation of the hydrology. The soldiers on board suffered numerous casualties, and most of those who did not have time to jump off the ship were buried in the water and reduced to the food of fish and shrimp.

The explosion spread very well, and several ghost-headed ships that rushed to this side to escort were also sunk, and countless casualties were killed and injured at one time. The fish and shrimp in the river were also affected by the explosion, and large and small fish floated up from the water with snow-white bellies.

…… But I didn't have to worry about grilled fish for a while.

The people who were still alive on the river were stunned, and the lucky big boat on the right, the soldiers and boatmen on board all looked down at the boat, and they forgot for a moment that they were going into the water to save people.

The people on the high platform were also shocked, and several high-ranking officials looked at Nanling Gong in shock, looking at the more hideous face, and they were all afraid of being unjustifiably harmed.

In the entire southeast, everyone knows that Jiang Taiping is famously ruthless and unreasonable.

Jiang Taiping was also a little incredulous, his hands were tightly grasping the wooden railing on the platform, and his nails were almost white.

Feng Jingting didn't expect it to become like this, and he couldn't figure out how the explosion started, but guessed that it was mostly Guo Wenying's hands and feet, and only this girl could make such an exquisite mechanism.

On the bank of the river, Deng Jiucheng raised his finger at Guo Wenying, "Wenying, how did you get that boat, how did the boat crash over by itself?"

Guo Wenying smiled, "It's just a little bit of a move." ”

In fact, the ship was a machine ship from the beginning, and when she was building a ship, she thought, the ship needs manpower to move, but it can't move without people? Of course, there are no steam engines and generators in this era, so she thought of the little people she made, and put the same mechanism on the ship, in fact, it can also move.

This boat was made by her to test and play, although it can move on its own, but it can only sail a short distance, and it can't control the direction, but the boat used to blow up the Nanling Army, that distance is enough. It took only two barrels of explosives to sink the ship and blow up a lot of fish. Using the other way to return the other, Jiang Taiping's gunpowder could not be more suitable for his Nanling army. And tonight, they all have fish to eat in the New Southern Army.

At this time, those New Southern troops who had jumped into the water had gradually swam ashore, and although they jumped out of ship in advance, many people were still injured by the final explosion. Hengsan's back was scratched by a splash of wood, and he was carried ashore, and his face was pale and pale.

Guo Wenying hurriedly went over to see him, and saw that it was only a flesh injury, so he was slightly relieved, and ordered someone to give him medicine.

A military doctor came to bandage his wounds, Hengsan frowned, and said to her: "Boss, what are you making, hurry up and improve it, almost played with my life." ”

Guo Wenying also felt sorry, the distance of the assault boat was shorter than she imagined, and it seemed that there was still a problem with the mechanism setting. But without testing, I don't know if there is a gap, thanks to him, the white mouse, for her to confirm where the difference is.

patted him on the shoulder and let him recuperate, and went out with Deng Jiucheng.

In this battle, although both sides suffered heavy losses, Nanling Gong lost a big boat, a dozen small boats, and more than half of the number of dead and wounded, which was actually a loss.
