Chapter 70: Sources of Weapons

In ancient times, there was one thing that must be done in wars, that is, to take off the weapons and armor from the lost rivers and mountains, and this weapon armor is to have more combat power.

Most of these rebels were clothed, which was one of the reasons why the Xia Kingdom suffered fewer losses, and the five thousand elite soldiers of the Xia Kingdom were all chain mail, and it was difficult to cut them with ordinary swords.

"Why is the armor of these rebels so similar to the armor of the Zhao army?" When the soldier washes his armor, he notices something unusual.

The armor is engraved with words to represent which country's soldiers this is, and sure enough, these armors are engraved with the words of Zhao State.

"I feel like it's a big deal to hand this thing over to the king!" The soldier exclaimed.

If this is Zhao Guo's armor, it means that these rebels have colluded with the Zhao army, and there must be a bigger conspiracy here.

"Your Majesty, this is a weapon looted by the people below! They are all produced in Zhao Kingdom! "The non-commissioned officer took the washed armor and sword section to the outside of the hall of Hanfeng.

Sun Yan came to Han Feng and said, "This is indeed the armor of the Zhao State, could it be that these rebels colluded with the Zhao State?" ”

Han Feng pondered for a moment and figured out the general situation, this Zhao country's wolf ambition actually supported the rebels behind his back, the purpose was to make my Xia Kingdom chaotic, but unfortunately the opponent he met was Han Feng, otherwise it is really impossible to say what the situation in Hexi is now.

"It is expected that Zhao will be the first country among the six countries to die." Han Feng's eyes revealed domineering, and Zhao Guo was humiliating himself.

With such a big cost but the gains outweigh the losses, the current Zhao State must have sent a large number of teams to attack the land west of the river.

At this time, nearly 100 warships of the Zhao State on the Yangtze River sailed to the west of the river, loaded with an army of 100,000 people, in order to go to the Xia Kingdom to capture the Xia King Hanfeng alive.

Today's fog is very heavy, and it is difficult to see a little farther away at night, and the general of the Zhao army this time is Yanping, the general stationed in Xuzhou, the fortress of Zhao State.

He has experienced a hundred battles, especially after many battles, there were originally two kingdoms on the territory of Zhao State, and the general who captured them was Yan Ping, and Yan Ping was invincible in Zhao State's water army, and Zhao Army had not lost in the river and the river!

Yan Ping's most brilliant achievement was to use 3,000 sailors to defeat the enemy's 10,000-strong navy, which was also his famous battle, and since then he has been heavily tasked in Zhao State, known as Jiaolong General.

"General, come over the river section ahead, and we will be able to reach the land west of the river!" Zhao Jun said with admiration.

Yan Ping's prestige in Zhao is very high, if he takes back Hexi and Hedong this time, he will definitely be a person with high merit and shock, but he knows how to retreat bravely in the rapids, do not fight in everything, and do not care about fame and fortune at all.

Yan Ping thought that there must be an ambush for this Xia army, especially tonight is very suitable for setting up an ambush, if it is attacked by a sneak attack, he is afraid that the Zhao army will suffer heavy losses.

"Pass my military order, all ships start to be on alert, reach the front and end the battle with rockets no matter what ships see in sight!"

This is also the reason why Zhao Jun is invincible in Jiangmian Mountain, Zhao Jun likes to use rockets very much, as long as the heavens are beautiful, they are almost invincible.

Even if there is no time, the Zhao army is still fighting rapidly.

Sure enough, when the ship didn't travel far before it encountered the warships of the Xia Kingdom slowly emerging from the fog, a big battle was about to break out.

"Archery!" Yan Ping gave an order, and hundreds of rockets shot at the warships of the Xia Kingdom.

But they never imagined that some of the warships were wrapped in iron, and the bows and arrows could not be shot into the ships at all, not even ignited.

Guo Yang slapped the table inside the boat and shouted: "These Zhao Jun are really fat, fortunately this ship has a body of iron armor, otherwise I am afraid that I would die here today." ”

"Pass my military order, all ships fire at the enemy!"

Two fireworks flares were emitted from the warship of Guo Yang's command ship, which meant the start of war, and all ships began to enter a state of combat readiness.

In order to facilitate the enemy, all the ships were sideways facing the Zhao army, so that their artillery could be used to the maximum strength.

Zhao Jun was also very puzzled, why these Xia State warships were not ignited, and he felt that this formation was about to turn around and escape!

Yan Ping shouted at the herald: "Pass my military order!" All warships are moving fast! We're going to take the enemy by surprise! ”

Not long after all the ships advanced, they heard the rumbling sound of cannons, and dozens of shells exploded towards the Zhao army in an instant.

All the ships hit by the shells were sunk on the spot, and the reason why these Zhao soldiers were able to use rockets was because there was tar wrapped in iron and copper hidden in the ships.

Now these tars are really their fatal things, although the penetration of this shell is not as good as that of modern shells, but this explosive power is not covered, as soon as a big hole is blown up, many warships are ignited on the river, and the river is full of splashes.

Now that the entire river is clear, the light of the fire allows the two sides to see each other more clearly.

Yan Ping saw that these ships were all iron bumps, since this thing could be launched, no wonder the rocket could not ignite.

"Retreat quickly! The navy army goes into the water to meet the enemy! Yan Ping repented and said: "Hurry up and let all the warships throw away the tar!" ”

Although this tar is their weapon, but if they keep this tar now, they will only die worse, and they have to give up, Yan Ping feels sorry in his heart, this is all money, it is all created by the people, and it is wasted in vain.

This warship of the Zhao State is the opponent of the warship of the Xia State, not to mention the difference in speed, and the overall equipment is not a high-grade item, especially this weapon.

These sailors, after launching the water, came to the side of the Xia State warships, trying to climb these warships, but they never thought that these ships were not the ships they had already seen, and they were deterred by iron thorns before they could climb halfway, and none of them dared to continue to advance.

As a result, all the ropes were cut by the Xia army, and everyone fell into the river, waiting to be shot with bows and arrows.

The warships of the Xia State chased after them all night, and less than ten of the hundreds of warships of the Zhao State had been bombed, which was also the worst loss in Yanping's history.

The casualties of the Zhao army in this battle were as high as 90,000 people, Zhao Guo lost completely lost confidence at this time, what the world's first sailor is a fart, and now the monarch of Zhao Guo really feels the unparalleled threat, if this continues, Zhao Guo will soon die in the country, he does not want to be the king of the country.

Han Feng had rested at this time, everything looked very simple, very cruel, backward will be beaten, and he will be beaten hard, science and technology is the first productive force.

Liu Yin had already fled to Kuncheng at this time, and when he saw the Kuncheng guard, he said in horror: "Brother Li Ren, I am defeated!" The team of 40,000 people was slaughtered by the Xia army! ”

After speaking, Liu Yin burst into tears, which was a shame and a frustration for him.

"Brother Liu, don't panic, my Kuncheng is impregnable, and he Xia Jun doesn't want to take the city from me!" Li Ren still didn't know the situation, and when he knew, he was afraid that he wouldn't be so confident.
