Chapter 219: Perfect Zero Casualties

The arrows used by the Yuan soldiers for fire attack were also loaded with gunpowder, which was improved on the basis of the original Song army's rockets, and Dong Wenbing had already equipped troops on a large scale when he attacked Zhangzhou, which was used to confront the firearms of the defenders of Zhangzhou.

After the new formula of gunpowder was manufactured, the assault rockets equipped by the troops were also updated, and the charge and ignition effect were more than doubled compared with before, and the firing range was also improved.

A group of cavalrymen with long shields on their backs rushed out of the ranks, and more than a hundred people turned over and dismounted and connected the one-man high shields to form a mobile cover shield for the shooters who fired the assault rockets with a one-man tall wooden bow.

Dong Wenbing is indeed a talent in this regard, and he and Wen Tianxiang have been fighting in Zhangzhou for most of the year, and they have also drummed up some weapons according to local conditions. Because the original assault rocket was too short in range, coupled with the threat of the crossbow in Zhangzhou City, it was improved into a combined bow launched by three people, and the range was effectively improved.

There were more and more shield players in front of the Yuan army on the dock, and the combined bow hidden behind them had been installed, and the two strong men pulled the bowstring together, and the other archer burst into the rocket and ignited it in one go.

"Put!"

"Put!"

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

The smoky rockets departed from the strings, and the barrels of arrows thicker than the thumb were wrapped in gunpowder sacs, and the arrows stained with sesame oil were easy to catch fire when the gunpowder burned, so the rockets caused a lot of trouble to the defenders of Zhangzhou.

"Poof!"

The distance of the Yuan Bing's launch was still a little far, only a few of them shot into the boat with full strength, and most of them fell into the water under the water, and they were extinguished and submerged in the water in an instant. But these arrows posed a threat to the Hong Kong Island sailors on board, because the sackcloth that had begun to cover the cannons was piled up on the deck, and before they could be put away, they were ignited by the assault rockets, and puffs of smoke rose up.

"Extinguish the fire, hurry up and extinguish the fire!"

The Song army on the deck was in a hurry, pushing the linen piled on the deck directly into the water, so as to avoid a chain reaction, and the shells and gunpowder were also placed on the deck, if there was a fire, the whole ship would be finished.

The small sails of two boats were burned by the rockets, which made Du Hu, who commanded the battle, a little annoyed, and immediately ordered the warships to move a distance of dozens of steps from the shore, anyway, they had already led the Yuan soldiers out, and this distance was more comfortable for the Hongyi cannon.

Dong Wenbing was overjoyed when he saw the smoke and fire on a warship, and hurriedly sent someone to send an order to urge them to get close to the warship to shoot at all, but he didn't expect that the warship did not anchor at all and quickly left the embankment.

"Give me a cannon, blow up all these yuan people to me, dare to set off rockets to burn Lao Tzu's boat, I really underestimate you!"

At this time, the barrel of the Hongyi cannon had cooled down, and the gunpowder shells had been reloaded, and the gunners were adjusting the firing angle, just in front of the pursuing warship soldiers who were all pouring to the embankment, and a salvo came very neatly.

When the cannon sounded in a row, the Yuan soldiers who were excited to pursue the warship just now turned around and ran, but no matter how fast the human legs and horses ran, they couldn't avoid the whistling shells and **** shrapnel. The casualties inflicted in this round were equally enormous, with more than a thousand shieldmen and more than a hundred combined bows bearing the brunt of the heavy attention, which were under the heavy attention of the gunners, and they were bombarded and lay on the ground wailing along with the carefully selected marksmen.

"General, there are too many dead and wounded, let's withdraw General!" An adjutant general just picked up a life on the dock, and the **** shrapnel cut a cut on his forehead, immediately washed his face with blood, and ran to the third floor to report the battle situation to Dong Wenbing after a simple bandage.

The emotions have been twists and turns between this meeting, Dong Wenbing's heart is no longer in pain, among the more than 10,000 elites who were killed and wounded, there is his old foundation of many years of fighting, and the only remaining cronies and descendants in the fierce battle in Zhangzhou for several months, in this half pillar of incense time, all his life is over.

"The herald is ready to retreat, and those combined bows must be picked up for me from the pile of dead, and they can't be left for Song Gou." Dong Wenbing squeezed out these few words from between his teeth, what if he didn't retreat, standing here and being beaten? Even if you leave the dock and hold Humen Town, what can you do!

He knew very well that the morale of his subordinates was now extremely low, the Song army was a long-range attack by warships, and if the infantry was sent to force the landing, he didn't have to order a retreat, and his subordinates who had no fighting spirit would flee for their lives.

As soon as the order to retreat, he immediately sent people back to Humen Town, there are still more than 10,000 war horses in the town, this is a treasure in Dong Wenbing's hands, if the Song army is allowed to go, he will simply wipe his neck and commit suicide.

The long wharf of Humen Town is hundreds of zhang, and the wide and flat square has been left with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke from the salvo of blood *** two Hongyi cannons. Hundreds of empty-handed soldiers were digging back and forth through the pile of corpses, looking for parts of the combined bow to launch the Assault rocket, and also looking through the corpses one by one, looking for the wounded who could be saved.

Du Hu's boat stopped quietly on the water, watching the actions of the Yuan soldiers on the dock, but there was nothing to do, and before the gun chamber cooled down, there was no good way to attack the Yuan soldiers on the shore.

"General Du, our ship should also be equipped with rapid-fire guns, have a chance to apply to General Zhao, if they are equipped with a cannon, these soldiers still dare to hang around on the dock? Can't scare them to death! ”

Du Hu smiled: "Don't be greedy, the equipment of our forty ships has emptied all the stocks accumulated on our island, and you still want rapid-fire guns?" I'm afraid of annoying General Zhao, and I will dismantle a few more cannons, which is not cost-effective! ”

"General, there is not a single casualty on our forty boats, what a cow! Now that the cannon has been reloaded, it is possible to fire another salvo, please give the order of the general! ”

Du Hu looked at the scattered Yuan soldiers on the shore, and a large number of cavalry had already hidden behind the dock building, and the people who were bombarding the dock square could no longer have much success.

"Give the order to the boats, start firing freely, whoever has the angle of attacking the cavalry behind the house, fire at his own discretion!"

As soon as this order was given, the captains and gunners on each ship were very happy, especially the soldiers in front of them could not fight back, and could only be bombarded by the cannons, which was as enjoyable as shooting targets with live ammunition.

"Show me the back of the house, hurry up, hide it and you're done, huh! Today, let you see the accuracy of grandpa's cannon, and say that blowing up your ass will not blow up your mouth! ”

"Give me that small building, there must be a general of the Yuan soldiers in it."

"Aiming at those soldiers in the square, I don't like it when I look at it, it's too ugly, give me a hard bang!"

Dong Wenbing stared fiercely at the warship on the water, turned around and walked downstairs, as soon as he turned the stairs, he heard a loud noise, and the upstairs room had been hit by a cannon. The smoke and dust poured Dong Wenbing's neck, and the explosion just now frightened his heart, and his feet were a little soft, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward.
