Chapter 164: Panzergrenadiers

The Yuan people are not afraid of land warfare, whether it is mounted archery or hand-to-hand combat, they have the confidence to surpass the times, except for the Song people who can create a little trouble in defending the city, the others will not be taken into account, including the water.

When the two largest warships on both sides were entangled, Xin Du's eyes were more crazy than excited, this opportunity was that he was tortured by the Song people's endless new equipment for several hours, and finally found a glimmer of opportunity, how could he easily let it go.

It's just that when the armorers he selected gathered at the bow of the ship, there were still some subtle anomalies, and their faces did not have the excitement of Pingzhang, but a kind of caution, and when the first armorer jumped up against the iron horn that pierced into the bow of his ship, he also subconsciously looked up.

Without him, the previous scene was less than a hundred steps away from them, almost everyone could see it clearly, and when they found that there was nothing special above their heads, the armor soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his shield to cover his upper body, and at the same time stretched out his head to observe the Song people's boat, and behind him, one after another armor soldiers jumped over.

It seems that the hull of the Song people is similar to their own own, not far from the two gangways, each with a trebuchet, the sergeants who operate the machine have retreated to the middle and rear of the deck, and across the center line of the deck, is a wooden plaque that is as high as the chest, behind the wooden plaque, countless black arrows are pointed forward, it seems that the Song people have been prepared.

The warship of the Song people, from the plane, is narrow at the two ends and wide in the middle, like a big salmon, and the place where the Yuan people attacked is the narrowest part of the whole ship, and they are extremely careful, so the speed of the forward is very slow, and as a result, nearly a hundred armor soldiers jumped up, still only advanced less than ten steps away, all of them gathered in the small area of the bow of the ship.

And what is even more strange is that in the formation of the Song people, they did not even send out a feather arrow, but stared at it so curiously, as if looking at some kind of creature that they had never seen, and the head of the second commander in the formation was a man from Qingyuan Mansion, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pulled, showing a smile that was turned upside down by the women of later generations, evil ...... Elf...... Rash...... Mad!

"Put!"

There was a hint of tail in his words, with a glutinous feeling unique to the two Zhejiang places, roughly like the elegant and sharp tone when the demon man went to the vegetable market to bargain with people, but after his words fell, listening to the ears of the Yuanren armor soldiers in front of him was like the cold wind in Liaodong, which was so fierce that it made people desperate.

"Whew!"

At a distance of less than thirty paces, for a three-bow bed crossbow with a range of nearly 100 paces, it could just reach the upper limit of thrust, that is, the speed of the crossbow spear flying out, and the prismatic tip of the spear tore open the first obstacle it encountered almost instantly, it was a shield of bread of iron, the crossbow gun shattered the hardwood on it, and the Yuanren armor who was holding an empty iron frame didn't even have time to react, only felt a light body, and a black long handle passed under his nose, but it was a huge pain that hit his heart.

The shout finally came out after the crossbow gun passed through the body of the third armorer, and then the two corpses in front of him slowly fell to the deck, and the strong momentum continued until the seventh armorer, the tip of the spear pierced through the back of his body, and was blocked by the eighth man with a shield, and the last force still made him stagger and unable to stand still, and "bang" fell off the deck.

However, in a short moment, the Song army's eight three-bow bed crossbows harvested the lives of more than half of the Yuanren armor soldiers, plus those who jumped into the water in confusion and panic, the deck on the port side was mostly empty at once, and the remaining dozens of people looked at the neat military formation in front of them, and there was no way to advance or retreat, and the two sides confronted each other at a distance of less than thirty paces, until the crossbow machine was released again.

The sound of falling into the water was endless, and the eight guns and crossbows sent out this time only hit less than ten people, and the others all chose one direction, the sea.

This result, not only the Yuan people could not imagine, but also the Song people themselves were a little confused, they were originally prepared to meet the impact of the remnants, but now in front of them except for those corpses that have fallen or have not fallen, the front of the deck is empty.

"Rush over to Lao Tzu, and cut those who retreat."

Xin Du pulled out his scimitar, slashed in the air with hatred, and drove all his own soldiers to the front, and the team of nearly a hundred people, without even seeing the faces of the Song people, disappeared so inexplicably, making his heart full of doubts, but more angry.

The movements of the second team of armor soldiers were even slower, they didn't know what was going on in front of them, but under the side of the boat on both sides, the cries for help from those comrades who were struggling in the sea water sounded like a wail in hell at the moment, which made people shudder, you know, this is December, the sea is as cold as ice, and they are all wearing heavy armor, no matter how good the water is, they will not last more than half a moment, and they are afraid of dying even more miserably if they jump.

When one of the leading soldiers climbed over the iron horn, the scene in front of him made him involuntarily stop, and a soldier who followed closely behind him was caught off guard, and suddenly hit him, just thinking about scolding, he tripped over something under his feet and almost fell to the ground, and then he saw everything on the deck clearly.

Within ten paces of them were the corpses of their own companions, many of whom were strung together by a pole like an iron spear, as if they were not yet dead, leaning against each other and letting out a low scream until they had swallowed their last breath, blood soaked the deck, sticky and slippery to step on.

"Get down!" The two men fell almost at the same time, and the team behind them was unknown, but they quickly fell down like them, but nothing was fired from the Song army's formation, and it was clear that it was not worth using expensive guns and crossbows with just two people.

Yuan people don't come, it doesn't mean that the Song people will do this and wait, not long after, the Song people in the formation of the movement, in the commander of the signal, a dozen not tall but thick arms of the sergeant, cat waist ran out, each of them held a black ball in their hands, the ball dragged a not too long tail, the tail flashed a little red light.

The men did not throw the ball immediately, but ran forward more than ten steps, and when the tail was about to burn out, they suddenly straightened up and leaned back, and their arms made a half-circle in the air, and the ball was released at the top of the circle, and with a subtle sound of "snort", it flew forward.

Due to the different strengths, the landing points of these balls were also different, and those Yuanren armorers who were lying on the ground invariably raised their heads and watched the balls fly overhead, or, falling into the crowd, and one of them could clearly see the ball slipping around on the deck a few times, and the little tail dragged behind it had disappeared, along with the red light that sparked.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

Whether they have seen it or not, no one will think that the Song people threw a mud ball to smash people to play, combined with those widely popular legends, all of a sudden let them guess eight or nine, but unfortunately, the correct answer is not ten points, but ...... Pieces.

"Boom!"

This kind of earth-shattering thunder used at sea has strict requirements for moisture-proof, so tightness is the primary condition, when the fuse is burned out, the crude gunpowder that is tightly compressed in the iron sphere immediately reacts, and rapidly expands in a very small space, this expansion process is blocked by the outer wrapping iron sheet, until more and more gunpowder is involved, the force breaks through the density of the sphere in an instant, and pushes all the blockers in all directions, until all the force is consumed, This process is known as ...... Explode.

One by one, the balls fell on the deck of the enemy ship, and since most of the enemy troops were concentrated on the foredeck, almost all of the explosions occurred in the crowd, and the huge roar accompanied by the severed arms and stumps flew into the air, no matter how heavy the armor was on the body and what kind of shield was in the hand, it was only a few bits and pieces in the face of such an explosion.

"Hit!"

There was a burst of cheers from the big ship of the Song army, because of the angle, they could not see the scene on the enemy ship, and could only judge the results of the battle by those fires and the screams of the enemy, whether such a result hit the enemy's morale, no one knew, only the Du Tong standing on the helm platform with a clairvoyant mirror could see the whole picture clearly.

In terms of effect, a round of grenades just now, almost no bullets, but after all, this is the coarse powder of the thirteenth century, not a grenade of later generations, and the actual lethality is not even comparable to a gun _ crossbow, the biggest effect is a blow to the enemy's morale, but what caught his attention was not only the casualties of the enemy, but there was also an unexpected surprise.

"The pulp priests obey the order, and all of them row backwards, immediately."

At the same time as giving instructions to the rowers, the capital commander also let the sergeants on the deck return to their positions, and the scarred sails, under the pull of the boatman, suddenly turned in one direction, and the whole ship changed from forward to backward, because the iron horn embedded in the enemy ship was separated by the explosion, and as the Song warship retreated, the two ships slowly separated, and soon, the sea water poured into the hole drilled out of the corner.

"Pingzhang, let's go." There are only a few surviving soldiers left Liao Liao, these people are more or less wounded, those pieces of iron are flying around, they can't dodge, and they are already lucky if they don't hit the vital point.

Xin Du watched as the huge hull leaned forward, and the rear began to rise slowly, the bow of the ship was no better than the hull, without the protection of a watertight compartment, once it capsized, it would be a catastrophe, and that was it? He could never have imagined that in terms of casualties, including those who fell into the water, there were only two to three hundred, and there were more than 500 people on his ship, all of whom died in the sea because of a small hole. As soon as he thought of this, Xin Du felt cold all over, and it seemed that he no longer listened to his hands and feet, just like that nightmare moment last year.

There are one and two, and the soldiers skillfully put the speechless commander away from the big ship that is about to capsize, as for the others, they can only resign themselves to fate, you know, the Song people are killing from all directions, and it will be too late if they don't run.

"All the soldiers of the army, follow a certain assault!"

Without looking at the dwindling enemy ship, he gave a command to the microphone, and the freed ship raised its sails, turned forward again, and rushed towards the remnants of the enemy army that had lost its command.
