"Eldest sister, Prince Zhu's boat rushed to the front, and it was out of touch with the sand boat behind!"

The one who spoke was a palm brigade under the command of the Red Lady, nicknamed Fengming Mountain, who was a white man in his thirties, who was a little delicate, and originally went to the rivers and lakes with the Red Lady to perform his arts. Later, he became the king of Jigong Mountain in Xinyang, and then took refuge with Li Zicheng with the Red Lady. In the team of the Red Lady, he has always been the third master, so he is also called Fengsan.

"Hehehe, it seems that Fujian Shibazhi is also a false name, and he doesn't understand water warfare at all."

The red lady smiled proudly, and a pretty face that could be called gorgeous without powder was even more charming, and it was a little crazy to see Feng San as the master.

It's a pity that the red lady doesn't belong to him Feng San in her heart......

"Feng San, you come to take charge of the boat, I'll lead people to jump to the gang!" As she spoke, the red lady had already walked to the bow of the boat with a single knife and a pair of flying claws attached to a thin iron chain, and then crouched down again, and with one hand pulled the rope tied to the deck.

Feng San didn't compete with the red lady for the first place. Although this big sister is a woman, she is a fierce and rushing character, and she likes to take the lead every time she goes to battle. As for the command of the battle, it has always been entrusted to Li Yan and Feng San, and today is no exception.

Now Li Yan is commanding the overall situation on the pontoon bridge of the Wei River, Feng San is in charge of the boat for the Red Lady, and the Red Lady personally leads people to charge and jump to capture Zhu Cihong!

And the big dragon head where Zhu Cihong's banner is located is indeed too prominent, and it has obviously distanced itself from the brigade behind.

However, Li Yan is still very careful, but he is reluctant to take his wife to risk - the clipper boat where the red lady is located is used to strike the final blow.

Before that, we had to let other ships crash into it, and the big sand boat couldn't move. Otherwise, the fast boat where the red lady is located will easily be knocked over by the big sand boat traveling at high speed, and the red lady's martial arts will be given in vain.

"General, that big sand boat seems to have stopped!"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from Li Yan's left and right.

I don't know if I saw that something was wrong, but the oars on both sides of the big sand boat where Zhu Cihong's flag was located suddenly stopped rowing. The sand boat, which had lost its forward momentum, slid forward for a while, and then no longer had the strength to advance half a foot, and stopped on the river less than two hundred steps away from Li Yan's pocket array.

What does this mean? Seeing that there is a trap, you refuse to be fooled?

It's late!

Li Yan sneered: "Beat the drums, all ships charge!" ”

"Whoa!"

......

Under the bow deck of the Da Long Head sandboat, in a hidden cabin, the lights are dim and the space is cramped. In this cramped and dark cabin, which makes people feel a little suffocating, there are two 12-pounder cannons made in Macao that glow with blue light.

The so-called redcoat cannon is this 12-pounder cannon. John Tang and Su Ziwen had already been ordered to inspect the artillery and ammunition. It was found that the craftsmanship of these two cannons and the quality of gunpowder used were superior to those of the red-coated cannons and ammunition used in Beijing's city defense.

In addition, the gunners used by the Shen family were also trained by the Portuguese in Macau, and their level of artillery handling was much higher than that of the two amateur players, Tang Ruowang and Su Ziwen.

"Open the cannon window!"

Descending to the bow gun compartment of this ship, Liu ordered loudly.

At his command, the two gun windows that opened on the front of the square bow creaked open.

"Push the cannon!"

Huo Gong Liu gave the order again.

Hearing the order, a dozen shirtless and muscular men divided into two teams and pushed the muzzles of two 12-pounder bronze guns on four-wheeled gun carriages out of the gun windows.

"Aim!" Huo Gong Liu ordered again.

Both cannons had a cannon head, and at this time they both took a few steps forward, put their heads to the window of the cannon window, and watched while gesticulating.

These two cannons can be slightly adjusted to the left and right and up and down angles in order to aim at the target in front.

Directly in front of the Great Dragon's Head was a ship that could carry 500 stone of rice grain. There are side signs on the bow and sides of the ship, and behind the side cards are half-kneeling men who know the nature of the water. Without a batch of armor, everyone is just tight-dressed and short-dressed. Half of them were armed with bows and arrows, while the other half had iron claws tied to ropes. All of them were hunched and half-crouched on the deck.

Oars stretched out between the side signs on both sides of the boat, all pinched in the hands of the sturdy boatman, paddling hard, driving the boat forward. A boatload of sturdy men, no one thought that he had become the target of two Hongyi cannons!

......

Thundered!

With two loud noises, Zhu Cihong only felt that the plank under his feet was shaking back and forth, left and right, fortunately, he was prepared, holding on to the railing, otherwise he would have to fall!

The two cannons sprayed grapeshot, that is, shotguns. Two twelve-pound grapeshotpie bombs are a big blast! The tiny iron beads suddenly formed a barrage on the front of the Great Dragon's Head, covering the targeted ship at an extremely fast speed, and there was no possibility of missing it.

The boats were all low-sided, and there were no heavy planks that could be used to resist grapeballs. As for the side cards or something, in front of the grape bullet fired by the 12-pounder cannon, there is and there is no same! It's nothing more than a hole in one blow. And the projectile that penetrated the side card was not exhausted, and it could still penetrate several muscular bodies. Whether it is a soldier or a boatman, as long as he is hit by a grape bullet, his flesh and blood are blurred, his bones and tendons are rotten, and if he is lucky, he will die before he can scream. And those who were miserable were broken their hands and feet, and there they wailed and wept bitterly. Even the brave warriors and boatmen who were lucky enough to survive were frightened by this sudden turn of events.

The prince of the Zhu family was so cruel and insidious that he hid a cannon in the belly of the sand boat!

"The prince has a cannon! ......"

I don't know who shouted, but the people who could still move on this boat were a burst of plopping dumplings, and they all jumped into the water.

......

"Eldest sister, the prince has a cannon!" Although Feng San was not hit, he was also frightened.

The red lady's face turned blue suddenly, and her bulging chest rose and fell violently.

The brothers of their own boatload actually let the prince of the Zhu family lose most of them with one shot!

Boom......

Before the red lady could react, the cannon over there went off again!

The two cannons switched targets and aimed at the other boat next to the one that had just been bombarded.

It is also a grape bullet, and it is also an overwhelming projectile that swept across the deck of the boat, and it is also a scene of hell.

In the blink of an eye, the two murderous red-clothed cannons actually knocked out the two boats of brothers Li Yan and the Red Lady!

"! ! ”

The rest of the people on the boat opened their throats and shouted. They are all flesh and blood, how can they resist the bombardment of artillery?

While shouting and shouting, the boats on the water began to go backwards. The boatmen didn't want to paddle as fast as they could, they wanted to make their boats retreat faster. There were also a few soldiers and boatmen on the Cao boat who were closer to the big dragon head sand boat, and they didn't paddle at all, and all of them made their own wontons...... I don't want a boat, it's important to save my life!

"Eldest sister, let's withdraw too!" Feng San said to the red lady in a loud voice.

"No way!" The red lady's gaze turned to the pontoon where Li Yan was.

The pontoon bridge is the key to today's victory or defeat, once captured by the Zhu thief, the Zhu thief soldiers and horses on the north bank of the Wei River can enter the battlefield on the south bank through the pontoon bridge to support the operation of Tianjin Weinan City.

And in order to guard the pontoon bridge, Li Yan also took his subordinates who didn't know how to water to guard the bridge deck, and in a hurry, I was afraid that it would be difficult to retreat. Once that sand boat is allowed to get closer, Li Yan's life will be in danger!

In order for Li Yan to retreat with her whole body, she has to fight with Zhu Cihong!

"Rush! Rush up from the side of that sand boat! The ferocity of the red lady came up all of a sudden, and shouted loudly, "The old lady doesn't believe that it also has a cannon on the side!"

The old lady is going to fight with the boy surnamed Zhu! ”
