Looking at the mighty Jiangxin thief ship, Guan Cheng took the telescope and ordered while observing, "Start the ship!" Three backs! The bow of the ship, the thief fights the ship! The guns of each ship are ready! Target, thief fighting ship, salvo ready! ”

At the same time, in the inner belly of the warship, more than a dozen sailors rode on the bicycle-like machinery of later generations, and with the sound of gear turning, the water wheel under the waterline of the warship slowly rotated, following the river that was already heading east, so that the ship first stopped slowly, and then began to retreat rapidly.

This kind of performance surprised everyone who watched the battle, in their cognition, the ship had to change its forward and backward movements, and it could only rely on oars and oars, or rely on the sails to move in a zigzag, anyway, it was impossible to start retreating so suddenly.

Then, something even more incomprehensible to them was staged, only to see bursts of smoke suddenly fly from the Zhenbei military ship, like a fire, and then several black shadows rushed towards the Jiangxinzhou fighting ship in the distance like lightning, and finally heard a roar like thunder.

The first salvo did not hit the fighter, but it did splash around the fighter.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhong watched the splash of water as high as one or two feet suddenly appear around his boat, and he didn't understand what was happening at all.

"It looks like a stone thrown from a ship of officers and soldiers." Said a man with good eyesight on the side.

"Stones? Wrong En's mother sells X, this is at least eight or nine hundred zhang, what kind of stone throwing machine can be thrown so far? ”

Jiang Zhong was completely confused, but Zhou Tai, who was rushing in front, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

This northern naval army seems to have some mysterious weapon to support it.

"Everyone, hurry up and row, rush forward!!"

Originally, logically speaking, the speed of a small boat is much faster than that of a large ship, but the warship of the Zhenbei Army is already a steamer, although the speed of the ship is not as fast as the small horse ship and the ship, but it is not too slow, at least, at the current speed, Zhou Tai can sleep for half an hour.

"Fix the gun emplacement! Salvo ready! Fire!! Guan Cheng gave another order, and there was another neat roar, and eight shells passed through countless small boats and hit the fighting ship straight at the head of the gun.

This time, finally, two shells hit the target.

I saw that two shells directly hit the weak wooden guardrail, and several Jiangxin thieves were hit by lead balls and broke their flesh and fell to the ground.

The first casualties of the battle began to appear.

"Continue to correct, maintain the same speed as the thief fighting ship, and fire the cannon!!"

Bursts of smoke rose, thunder resounded across the river, and the poor fighting ship was bombarded back and forth by the eight guns on the four battleships without resistance, and Jiang Qin's eyes in front were blood-red, but he couldn't help at all.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, bow and arrow ready, hurry, bow and arrow ready!!" Zhou Tai held the steel knife and roared loudly, after them, Jiang Zhong's fighting ship had been hit by no less than forty or fifty shells, and began to sink slowly.

"This kind of weapon can throw stones very far, but there are not many of them, if Jiang Xinzhou has a building boat, who will die in this battle, it is not yet known." Zhou Yu stared at Guan Cheng's flagship, he couldn't figure out what kind of weapon could throw stones thousands of feet away. Yunxuan Pavilion

"Gong Jin, you said I want to buy this from the Zhenbei Army, will the Zhenbei Army sell it?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Bo Fu, it depends on how optimistic General Zhenbei is about us." ”

With the sinking of Jiang Zhong's fighting ship, many Jiangxin thieves were also scared and began to flee, these people are not an army after all, and in the face of a battle that has no chance to return the battle at all, their morale and willpower cannot hold on at all.

"The thief army is in chaos, advance with all your might, open the cannon doors on both sides, and attack on your own!!" Guan Cheng issued a combat order again, with the order of the flag soldiers, the warship stopped again and began to move forward, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin seized the opportunity and drove the warship into Guan Cheng's battleship, the two warships collided together, Guan Cheng's warship was large, and directly hit Zhou Tai's bow to crack, but it was only cracked, and it could not be completely broken.

"Kill!!"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin bit their knives, grabbed the warship with their flying claws, and began to climb, the speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and they were on the deck in a blink of an eye, but what made them both stunned was that dozens of sergeants with crossbows and half-armored iron armor were waiting for them on the warship.

"Hands up! Surrender!! ”

Listening to the neat shouts and shining crossbow arrows, the thief army behind Zhou Tai and the others immediately dropped their weapons.

They are not soldiers, and there is no reason to die rather than surrender.

Jiang Qin glanced back and saw that the fighting ship where his father was had completely sunk, so he took a deep breath and wanted to rush forward, but at this time, there was a sudden cannon sound on both sides of the battleship, followed by screams.

This is the side gun using scattered bullets to attack, although the scattered bombs are difficult to destroy the ship, but they can kill and injure people very well, although Zhou Tai did not see the situation of the ships on both sides, but from this scream and the unwavering expression of the sergeant on the opposite side, he knew that this battle was no longer justified.

"We are all outcasts, please show mercy to the general's subordinates, we are willing to surrender!" Zhou Tai snatched the bow from Jiang Qin's hand and threw it away, although he was confident that he would kill several people on the opposite side with Jiang Qin, he felt that it was pointless.

Jiang Xinzhou couldn't stay any longer, and now they had to find a backer, and the Zhenbei Army from the north seemed to be a good choice.

Sun Ce didn't know that the two generals in his history had fallen into the hands of the Zhenbei Army, he looked around with a telescope and looked at the battle situation, and said in amazement, "I didn't expect this weapon to be so sharp, if we have this thing, who else is our opponent on the Yangtze River?" ”

"But this ordnance belongs to the Zhenbei Army." Zhou Yu poured cold water on Sun Ce's body in time.

"The warships of the Zhenbei Army are extraordinary, and when the Zhenbei Army goes south, it relies on the current naval army in Yangzhou, and it is not an opponent at all." Zhou Yu put down the pen and ink in his hand, he had just been recording the various battle data of the Zhenbei Water Army.

"But Gongjin, didn't you say that we can unite with the Zhenbei Army."

"Union is united, but it is also necessary to prepare for future wars.

Now, what we have to do is to get the trade rights of the Zhenbei Army, especially this water weapon, no matter how much it costs, we must buy it!! ”

Zhou Yu had such an idea, the representatives of the four great families of Wu County were not stupid, Zhang Yun looked at the other three families with a dark face, although they didn't speak, but he had already guessed that there would be someone to contact Zhen Yan without waiting for the evening, so as to get this kind of weapon and prepare for the war in the future.
