Chapter 38: Water War II

"Are you panicking about anything?" Zhou Fuchen said: "Remember that we don't have to fight with them, just set fire." ”

Fire attack is the killer weapon prepared by Zhou Fuchen.

Regardless of the preparations of both sides, at this moment, with the push of water and wind, the two sides are about to collide.

On one side are dozens of large ships, neatly arranged, with many sergeants and soldiers on board, bright armor, and dozens of cannons ready to fire, but on the opposite side are light boats covering almost the entire surface of the river. The soldiers on the ship wear whatever they want.

Zhou Fuchen's newly integrated fleet has almost gathered all the people who eat on the water in the Runing area, it can be said that there are three religions and nine streams, all-encompassing, so that the people on the boat are also dressed differently, some seem to be guys, dare not rush to the front, and some seem to be people who have no capital to trade, so these people are very adaptable to the current scene.

However, the main force of the rebel army sailors was several large ships led by Zhou Fuchen's boat.

These big ships, which are very large, are rushing to the front at this moment, and the confrontation is imminent.

"Boom, boom, boom." The artillery of both sides opened fire one after another, and countless artillery bolts were smashed out for a while, but it was still the officers and soldiers who had the most artillery.

The shells are not too big, but the impact is quite strong, these fishing boats can't stop it at all, and when the cannon comes down, a big hole is made in the bottom of the boat, and the river naturally gushes up from below, and the boats that enter the water suddenly slow down.

This is also on a trough ship, the artillery is relatively small, if there is a large enough naval gun, a single shot can smash such a small ship in half.

However, the accuracy of artillery has always been a problem.

Although many ships were hit squarely, there were still many cannonballs that smashed on the surface of the water, causing extremely high splashes, "crackling" like rain, falling on the deck, wetting Zhou Fuchen's clothes.

Zhou Fuchen stood on the deck and saw it most vividly.

As soon as the artillery of the officers and soldiers rushed, countless soldiers were timid.

Not everyone will see death as home, let alone these newly recruited soldiers. Zhou Fuchen said secretly: "Damn." "There was nothing to be done for a while.

"Sizing, impact." Zhou Fuchen said. He thought about it, and only by taking the lead and taking the lead in the attack could he suppress the formation.

Zhou Fuchen gave an order, and the seven big ships laid down dozens of big oars in an instant, but from a distance, the whole ship looked like a centipede, and in the cabin, countless sailors shouted in unison: "Ouch." "Dozens of people beat in a neat rhythm, and all the oars fell into the water together and flew out together.

With the blessing of this extra skill, Zhou Fuchen took several big ships,

Rushed over.

Zhou Fuchen didn't do nothing during this period of time, the people and horses he really rectified were all on the big boat, and at this moment, under Zhou Fuchen's order, he rushed downstream neatly.

All the boats that were ahead of the company took refuge.

The artillery of the officers and soldiers turned their muzzles one after another, regardless of the movement of those small boats, and gathered their artillery on Zhou Fuchen's boat.

At one time, more than a dozen shells smashed over.

"Puff puff." Columns of water splashed one after another, some high, some low, some far and some near, but not all the cannons missed, after all, such a large volume of this ship was placed here, several meters wide, more than ten meters long, it was impossible to completely avoid it.

"Boom." It was as if there was a heavy knock on the door, and there were shells on the side of the ship, and instead of force, they were sent out, but more guns were hit on the deck, or hit people, or hit the plank, and flew countless sawdust, which were like sharp arrows, and shot in all directions.

One of the soldiers around Zhou Fuchen didn't say a word, and suddenly when he went to the end, when he looked at the side, he found that there was a palm-length wooden block behind him smashed on the back of his head, and no one noticed the rumbling of the cannon at that time.

"My lord, stay out of the way." Several pro-soldiers said: "Once the adults lose, even if this battle is won, it will not be cost-effective." ”

Zhou Fuchen said with a smile: "I have gone from a scholar, less than twenty to this position, do I have outstanding talents?" No, it's that I'm not afraid of death. ”

Zhou Fuchen remembered the first battle that established his current position, it was nothing else, it was to follow Luo Yujiao under Linying City, at that time, he really reported his mortal heart, and it was also that battle that dispelled Zhang Xuan's suspicions, otherwise, he felt that even if he had talent, he could not be important.

"I'm right here, I'm not going there." Zhou Fuchen said.

Seeing this, several pro-soldiers had to hold shields in front of Zhou Fuchen, although they knew that in fact, the shield was like a piece of paper to a cannonball, and it was of no use at all, but they couldn't use it either.

As a pro-soldier, it is simply a dereliction of duty to sit back and watch the main general be threatened, even if you know that the shield can't block the cannonball, you must block it, even if you use your own body to block it. Otherwise, if the Lord makes any mistakes, it will be unforgiving.

The shield is not useless, though.

When the distance between the two ships is close enough, the artillery is not the main threat because of the frequency of fire, the main threat is the rocket. Or rather, gunpowder arrows,

It is an arrow powered by gunpowder, a swarm, a hundred tigers rush to the arrows, and so on, and the rockets are all in an instant, and the sound of "sighing" is loud, and countless rockets "grab" shoot on the board of the ship, as well as on the shield, and even arrows shoot through the shield, shooting the soldiers behind the shield to death.

The power of these gunpowder arrows, unlike bows and arrows, is all about the power of gunpowder, not the strength of the archers, so some gunpowder arrows are far more powerful than some arrows shot by archers. It's just that the management system of the official and military workshops can't get such a delicate weapon at all. The power of the rockets made is also light and heavy, and they themselves do not have a standard, so they only occasionally have one or two such heavy arrows.

At this time, Zhou Fuchen was not reckless,

At this moment, the ships of the two sides were already very close to each other, and Zhou Fuchen could even see the eyebrows of the gunners on the opposite warship and the fear in their eyes.

Zhou Fuchen squatted down suddenly, drew his long knife, and carried his shield, which was about to hide under the side of the ship.

The sound of the cannon was low, and then countless lead bolts hit it like rain hitting plantains. The whole deck, on the side of the ship, was beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant, and even if there were wooden planks fixed one or two inches thick on the side of the ship, there were a few places that could not resist it for a while, and a hole was made.

Zhou Fuchen couldn't believe what it should be like outside the ship.

However, the damage is mutual, and although Zhou Fuchen's ship artillery is not much, it is definitely not nothing. When they fired shotguns on the opposite side, they also fired shotguns, and the muzzles of both sides were almost aimed at each other's noses, and they fired together, which naturally ended up losing both.

Most of the casualties were among the gunners, so for a moment all the sound of artillery fell silent.

There was still the sound of fire running, but it was all the artillery on other ships, and to Zhou Fuchen, it was like the sound of a far, far away.

"Knock" softly, it seemed to be the sound of two pieces of wood hitting together, Zhou Fuchen knew that this was not another sound, it was the sound of a ship colliding with a boat, Zhou Fuchen looked left and right, the deck was empty, all the jump helpers were hiding under the side of the boat like him, and some jump helpers were waiting below the deck to listen to the movement above.

The entire deck was densely covered with lead, either embedded in the ground, or rolling on the ground as the ship moved, not to mention several bloody corpses.

Everyone was watching him.

"Kill." Zhou Fuchen shouted.

Zhou Fuchen's personal soldiers jumped up one after another, shouted, shielded the front door, and the long knife was behind, and jumped violently, jumping over the water surface of the ruler, and was about to rush to the opposite side.

But Zhou Fuchen did not move.

It's not that Zhou Fuchen is timid, he knows that the first wave of jumping gangs is the most dangerous. Just like the first batch of soldiers who rushed into battle, the mortality rate was too high, although he was not afraid of death, and he did not want to die like this.

Of course, as Zhou Fuchen expected, he soon heard a "bang" sound.

The sound was familiar, the sound of a firecracker.
