Chapter 318: Fire!

"Knock knock!"

The pitch-black barrel emitted a vicious flame, and the iron balls flew towards the catapult's location.

Compared to catapults, artillery has a much higher hit rate.

Although the current artillery is mounted on ships, the accuracy will be affected to a certain extent, but it is much stronger than the catapult.

With just one round of fire, many catapults were destroyed and smashed into a pile of splinters by the blazing fireballs.

Now, the Jiangdong Army is completely suppressed by Cao Shuo's artillery.

"Now all the soldiers are ready, let's land immediately!"

At this time, Cao Ang quickly took over the task of command, preparing to let his warship land quickly.

has been exposed to the vision of Sun Quan's soldiers, which is actually very unfavorable to Cao Jun's side.

And in the event that a ship is sunk, a shipload of landlubbers will be destroyed.

Now, even if Cao Shuo has invincible artillery, he still does not dare to confront the Jiangdong Army on the river for a long time, and now he has to find a way to go ashore as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao has never dared to make a move on Sun Quan's side.

Cao Shuo now commanded his soldiers to continue firing artillery, while retreating as much as possible to give the warships behind him space to go ashore.

Seven giant warships and other small ships were also quickly prepared, and they quickly arrived at Sun Quan's port.

This was originally Sun Quan's ship port, but there was no such thing as a wharf, just a place for ships to dock.

Cao Shuo also reacted quickly, hurriedly ordered the soldiers to disembark and land, and arranged for the first soldiers to raise their shields to open up an open space in front.

This is because the main defensive prop on Sun Quan's side is still bows and arrows, but the shield soldiers can fight perfectly.

But even so, the first batch of Cao troops were still very vulnerable to attack, and Sun Quan had now built a lot of buildings such as bunkers that could be defended.

"Whoosh!"

Sure enough, with just a cigarette of effort, Cao Jun was attacked by Sun Quan's soldiers here.

The port is like a crescent moon and is very convenient for ships to dock and disembark.

But this shape is also a formation that is very easy to be surrounded.

"Watch out for the archers on both sides!"

Cao Shuo immediately gave an order to the nearby Cao army.

As for the archers in front of him, Cao Shuo was not very worried, after all, there were still shield soldiers to resist.

But the Jiangdong army on both sides couldn't deal with it, and they were tall, so it was difficult to kill them.

And if it is not solved, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want the landing of all Cao troops.

Soon, the Cao army had now received Cao Shuo's orders, and the artillery was not idle for a moment, they were all adjusting their angles and launching a round of attacks on the archers on the mountain.

But after all, Sun Quan's side still did a lot of preparations, and now Sun Quan's archers have already prepared the trenches, and they hide when they see the shells.

This makes it difficult for the artillery to hit them, and when the cannon is loaded, they can take advantage of the opportunity to shoot arrows.

"This... Something, indeed! ”

Seeing this scene, the corners of Cao Shuo's mouth rose slightly.

Because he found that Sun Quan's trenches and pillboxes were all built of cement.

And the space for cement to play on the battlefield is too big!

Cao Shuo realized this very early on, and when it was manufactured, he tried to control its use in the north to prevent it from flowing into the south.

But after all, there are too many smuggling merchants now, and they can't stop the outflow of cement at all.

Seeing this, Cao Ang was at a loss.

Now, it can only be forcibly broken!

Most of the soldiers here in the Jiangdong Army use Zhuge crossbows, and the power of this thing is actually not too great, but if you stand still all the time, you will be shot into a hedgehog.

But...

Even if you really force a breakthrough, you have to find a way to get these bunkers and trenches and the like.

And Cao Jun will definitely hurt many people, and everyone knows nothing about the situation ahead.

"Cao Shuo, what can you do now?"

Cao Ang said to Cao Shuo with an anxious face at this time.

"Hey, there are too many archers here in Sun Quan, so that..."

Cao Shuo said, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised upward:

"Then I'll just have to show him what a real long-range weapon is!"

"What?"

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Cao Ang's face.

Could it be that Cao Shuo has made some new discoveries?

The most powerful long-range weapon right now is artillery!

"You command the Cao army to retreat first, and let my Flying Tigers come!"

Cao Shuo said lightly, and at the same time gave an order to the soldiers beside him.

"But even the Flying Tigers... They will also be killed by random arrows, and the fire on the mountain is too fierce! Cao Ang shook his head, sighed and said:

"Why don't we open up the situation with artillery again? Keep firing guns, and there will definitely be no chance on the other side! ”

"Hehe, no need!"

Cao Shuo knew that if he continued to stay in the water now, it would be completely to give Sun Quan and them a chance.

Just the fire that could burn a ship before, who can guarantee that there will not be such a team on Sun Quan's side now?

"And, my Flying Tigers, now they are not brainless people to break through!"

Cao Shuo smiled and shook his head and said, "They will definitely hit the soldiers on Sun Quan's side, big brother, you just wait and see!" ”

"Not a breakthrough type... What kind of genre is that? Cao Ang was even more confused.

Cao Shuo didn't speak again, and commanded three thousand elite soldiers to the deck.

"You're. What's the use of letting them be here, all the people on the other side are on the mountain! Cao Ang still looked puzzled.

"Now your target is the archers in the mountains, shoot at them!"

"Yes!"

The Flying Tigers received the order and immediately crouched on the deck, leaned against the side of the ship and began to shoot.

In their hands, all of them were brand new muskets, and after a few seconds of aiming, they pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

The dense sound of muskets was like the sound of popcorn coming out, and the entire ship was filled with gunsmoke.

And with this burst of gunfire, a scream suddenly came from the mountain.

This, of course, was issued by the Jiangdong Army.

Many Jiangdong soldiers rolled down the hillside with a wail and fell to their deaths in front of Cao Jun.

"It's... What a situation! ”

Seeing this, both Cao Jun and Jiang Dongjun were all stunned.

It was just a loud sound, how could all the archers die violently?

At this time, the surviving archers also all shrank back, not daring to come out in the forefront, and all of them had shocked expressions on their faces.

They don't even know what's going on.

The archers were just shooting arrows when they suddenly heard a popping sound in the distance.

Then they saw many people around them wailing and falling.
