Chapter 298: Hidden Dangers Caused by Misunderstanding

Tonight can be regarded as a decisive battle, the rebels have 5,000 men and horses in the north, except for Xianxialing, and there is hardly a single soldier on the land of nearly 1,000 miles in the middle.

The situation is very dangerous, but the regular soldiers and horses on this thousands of miles of land have already been ploughed by the rebels, and now the wealthy families everywhere are waiting and watching, saying that the choice is too fast, and the current situation has only appeared in more than a month.

Of course, there are naturally some so-called people who look forward to the king's master, and there are quite a few. Ever since Wang Zhongji set up a large camp in Zhangzhou, the people in the occupied areas in the north have come to cry and ask for help from time to time, saying how the rebels are cruel and unkind, how the people are in dire straits, and so on.

It's just that Wang Zhonghei was trapped in the Jiulong River at that time, and his heart was more than enough but his strength was insufficient, and when the situation changed this month, the rebels actually gathered all their soldiers and horses together in a desperate way, and the plans he had thought of about plotting rebellion and mobilizing the people in the occupied areas to make trouble were no longer necessary.

For the rebels such a strong desire for a decisive battle, once and for all, Wang Zhongsi will certainly not refuse, tonight's matter is said quickly, but the situation has reached this point, and it is natural to say it.

Wang Zhongsi made preparations for the attack, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident at night, and he was drugged, and the rebels happened to attack the enemy camp at night on all fronts, which caught the officers and soldiers by surprise.

didn't expect that Wang Zhongsi was not the only one who mutated tonight, and Zheng Tai didn't expect that he had just been out for less than half a day, and the situation in Zhangzhou would become so erosive.

Earlier today, after Zheng Tai came out of the tent, he just arrived at the sailor camp at the mouth of the Jiulong River and met the person sent by Lu Hao to deliver the message, Zheng Tai, who was shocked to hear that his eldest brother had an accident, set off without thinking, if he didn't remember that this is a military camp, it would be very troublesome to leave his post without permission, Zheng Tai may have taken away all his brothers.

Zhangzhou is not far or close to Fuzhou, running back and forth, plus the time for Lu Hao to transfer the fleet from Keelung, by the time Zheng Tai led a heavily armed fleet back to Zhangzhou, the time had already turned to noon.

The sun is shining, and the blood is flowing on the Jiulong River.

When Zheng Tai saw that there was no longer a single intact official warship at the mouth of the river, his mind was clouded, and he saw that the ships of the rebel sailors were searching for the remnants in the water little by little, and from time to time replenish an arrow, his anger could no longer be suppressed!

Liu Shan...... Fuck ...... You wait for me...... All...... What are you doing in a daze?

Angry, Zheng Tai was a little crazy for a while.

A group of five large sailing ships turned up the power to the highest level, and the sails bulged and rushed towards the rebel sailors on the Kowloon River.

"Use ballistas! Don't use stones, just put gunpowder on them, and blow them all the way to Lao Tzu!"

After all, the production cost of hand and thunder is not low, and now it is a kind of careful gunpowder shell packed in clay pots as a throwable object in water warfare, and there are also artillery, and even the kind of warships with many new materials used to depict runes, which are also being built in the shipyard, but these powerful weapons are really not necessary to be used on such a battlefield.

Bombs were thrown all over the place, some exploding and some not, but the high velocity of the ballistas still ploughed the rebel ships like a sieve.

The continuous loud noises woke up the entire battlefield, and He Yun, who was about to drive to Zhangzhou City to help after cleaning up the official army and water divisions, was full of wit at the moment when the sound appeared.

Turning back suddenly, he saw five large sailing ships rushing towards him like giant beasts, and the continuous flash of fire was full of the monstrous fury of the giant beasts.

Unable to go to the city to help, He Yun hurriedly began to dispatch the fleet to deploy defenses.

Now the enemy army is at the mouth of the river, neither the wind nor the water, but the speed of the damn big ship has not weakened at all, He Yun has seen similar ships, although it was only a hurried glimpse of the night on the Yangtze River outside Shengzhou City, he already has a deep memory of that amazing speed.

The Jiulong River is not as good as the Yangtze River, and the rebels have dozens of boats, large and small, all over the river, plus the corpses and wreckage floating down from the upstream, and the entire river has become congested.

He Yun has always been cautious about the back road, but this time the huge difference in the performance of the boat made his previous arrangement dispensable.

The few boats left behind in the estuary to monitor were blown into tatters almost in a single shot, and in the face of the menacing beasts, on this unwielding river, He Yun once again felt the danger of annihilation.

The enemy ships continued to move at a reduced speed, and there were occasional fires exploding around them with loud noises, and the ships that remained behind were engulfed in flames and black dots one by one.

In winter, the river is not fast, and the wrecked ships move slowly with the river, and those that are not all sunk float down the current with an empty frame on fire, and occasionally human-shaped flames fall into the icy river with a wail.

Zheng Tai's eyes were already red, ignoring the wreckage of the ships everywhere, and still kept a high speed and rushed forward, and the large sailing ship was swayed from time to time.

The scissor yacht is designed to maintain the ultra-high speed of sailing, and the nose end is upturned as a whole to minimize the drag of the current when cleaving the waves.

It avoids a direct collision between the front end of the hull and the wreckage, but it increases the burden on the bottom of the ship in the center, and although the shaking of the hull during each impact is not large, everyone knows that if something happens in the middle of the bottom of the ship, the whole ship will be scrapped almost immediately. The isolation compartment added to the bottom of the ship can only be waterproof, and the middle part of the bottom is a node, like a bowstring full of strength, in the event of an accident, the hull will have to disintegrate in the overall structure and divide into two.

However, the crazy Jung Tae can't care so much anymore, and now he just wants to kill the enemy in front of him and avenge the dead brother in his eyes.

The situation is very dangerous, Rao is He Yun is experienced, and there is no good way to deal with it in the current situation, but the sound of impact in his ears gave him a hint that was not too good.

"I can't care so much!" He Yun was ruthless and shouted: "The ironclad ships take the lead, and all the ships are full of sails and crash into it!"

Fighting with the enemy for speed is doomed to failure, and fighting for long-range attack weapons is even more of a joke, the battle is only a moment now, and his side has sunk or destroyed nearly ten ships, but the counterattack can be made without even the enemy's fur hurting.

The other party's ship is fast and large, He Yun doesn't believe that the other party's materials are stronger than his ironclad ship!

Since there is no countermeasure, I simply go out and fight hard and rush out of a bloody road!

The execution ability of He Yun's fleet was still very good, although many people had been frightened by the momentum of the enemy ship, but they still quickly turned the bow of the ship after the order came.

It's just that after the rebels have finished responding, the distance between the two sides has become shorter and shorter, and there is no time or space to build momentum.

The reason for this formation is also to shorten the time to cross with the enemy ship, He Yun has long known that the opponent's ship will place most of the attack weapons on the left and right sides, if the crossing time is too long, his own ship will become a sieve before it escapes.

In addition, the dense formation can also squeeze the space for the movement of the enemy ships, or simply sacrifice some ships to block the attack of the enemy ships, so that the ships on the side have a chance to rush out.

Of course, the captains of the rebel ships were not sure which ships would be sacrificed before the real rendezvous, so everyone prayed in their hearts, and they all had enough strength to operate the ships, hoping that they would be faster.

It didn't matter whether the rebel ships were fast or not, Zheng Tai's several ships had been maintaining maximum speed, and the force generated when the two collided was truly earth-shattering.

Although he fell into a frenzy, seeing a row of ironclad ships rushing towards him, Zheng Tai still made changes in the shortest time.

"Hit horizontally!"

If it were on a wide sea, a sailboat moving at high speed could make a beautiful arc, but now when the five sailing ships are in unison, the huge inertia pushes the ship towards both sides of the river at the first time.

He Yun, who was rushing with all his might, was also stunned when he saw such a scene!

The fact that the opposing ship was able to make such a nimble maneuver at such a high speed demanded almost outrageous demands on the performance of the ship and the skill of the sailor!

In short, He Yun thinks that he can't do such a response under the same circumstances!

However, what shocked He Yun had just begun, and of course, the next thing could not be done with the word surprise, because for He Yun, these things were taken for granted.

As soon as the ship was crossed, the firing ports on the sides immediately opened in unison, and although the ship was still carried to the shore on both sides by inertia, the ballista on the ship adjusted the angle and threw the gunpowder shells over!

Under such a change, the accuracy is naturally not enough, but the targets are now listed in a row, and the scope is too large, and there are almost no that cannot be hit.

The oncoming gunpowder bombs exploded on the ironclad ship, and the thick iron plates could not block the powerful impact, wailing and sawdust flying, mixed with the blood of the severed limbs splattered everywhere.

Now that the matter has come to this, He Yun's side is just gritting his teeth and insisting!

Although the damage is now larger, to be honest, the chances of survival are higher, and the enemy ship has not lost its momentum after the crossing, and rushes straight to the two shores, seeing that this position is not stranded on the beach and there is almost no possibility of stopping.

Once the other party runs aground, it is not necessary to take the opportunity to counterattack, but it is unlikely that the other party wants to pursue it!

Zheng Tai didn't care about this, he went crazy, he just cared about letting all the ballistas be transferred to one side, and the gunners reloaded the gunpowder shells desperately, and the black rain kept flying towards the rebels.

The sound of explosions and fires did not stop at all, Wang Zhongsi on the wall of Zhangzhou City in the distance had already heard the sound, and he didn't need to send someone to investigate, after seeing the huge ship, he already realized who it was.

He, who was already gloomy, is even more ugly at the moment!

"These people, with such a sharp weapon, have only now taken it out, what kind of heart do they have!"
