Chapter 642: Where the Sail Goes
"You lead the pro-army to the mouth of the Baiteng River, find out the truth, and report back quickly." Chen Guojun said, "If the Song army only came by water, it would be easy to do. ”
Seeing that his father-in-law was confident, Fan Wulao put his mind at ease, his face was happy, and he bowed again.
After Fan Wulao left, Chen Guojun was still sitting in place, and black shadows fell silently from the beams of the house, leaning over and waiting.
Chen Guojun stared at the pool calmly, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the silence, and after a long time, he slowly waved his hand to the dead soldiers behind him.
When Fan Wulao led his subordinates to appear at the mouth of the Baiteng River, he looked at the countless Song army ships gathered on the sea from a distance, and he was speechless in shock for a while.
Ships of all sizes dotted the seashore, and dozens of them stood as tall as mountains, raising huge dark brown sails like moving fortresses. Around them, a large number of medium-sea ships and small boats were busily moving back and forth between the fleet and the shore, transporting the Song military horses ashore.
Although Fan Wulao had arranged scouts on the hills on the shore, and after they discovered the Song fleet, they tried to report to him the number of Song warships, but soon, they were difficult to count.
Fan Wulao's eyes were not fixed on the Song army's warship, but looked at the shore.
On the shore, at some point, two piers made of giant logs deep into the sea appeared, and some small sea boats stopped at the pier.
Seeing these two huge trestle bridges, Fan Wulao was even more surprised.
It's not the first time he's been to the mouth of the Baiteng River, there has never been such a big trestle here, when did these trestle bridges appear? Could it be that the Song army could build the bridge in one day? And where did the timber come from? Could it be that the sea ship was dismantled?
Fan Wulao's mind was full of chaotic thoughts for a while, and at this time, the sound of drums and horns sounded, and the warships of the Jiaozhi Army rushed out of the hidden place and rushed straight towards the Song army that was landing.
In order to prevent foreign enemies from landing here and directly attacking Thang Long, the Jiaozhi army was garrisoned by heavy troops sent by Chen Guojun here, and there was a complete set of crime plans to deal with the invasion of the enemy.
The warship of the Jiaozhi Navy is slender and slender, the board is thinner, the tail is like a mandarin duck wing, the side of the ship is higher, there are 30 oarsmen in each boat, more than 100 officers and soldiers, at this time, under the hard rowing of the oarsmen, the boat is like flying, rushing straight to the Song army fleet, the Song army warship that is transporting soldiers and horses to land is larger, and the action is much slower than the Jiaozhi Navy warship. Many of the officers and men of the Song army showed panicked expressions, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhi Navy army drew their bows and arrows one by one, raising their swords and spears at the same time, and their faces were full of murderous energy, and the two sides formed a sharp contrast.
Fan Wulao couldn't help but clench his fists, and was about to watch the elite sailors carefully trained by his father-in-law Chen Guojun to annihilate the enemy, but suddenly heard a low horn sound from the large sea ships of the Song army.
Fan Wulao followed the prestige and saw that a red flag was raised on all the large ships of the Song Army, and then black iron cylinders stretched out from the ship's tower one after another.
The officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhi Navy also discovered the abnormality of these Song army ships, but the oarsmen sitting in the cabin did not know what was happening outside, and were still rowing hard, and the Jiaozhi warships were like horses galloping, rushing straight to the Song army, but at the moment when they were about to approach the Song army's ships, Fan Wulao saw those black iron cylinders spewing out dark red firelight and billowing black smoke, followed by a thunderous roar.
One after another, the black balls flew towards the Jiaozhi naval warship, and the several warships that rushed to the front were hit instantly, Fan Wulao clearly saw that a Jiaozhi warship suddenly broke into two pieces and sank into the sea, and the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhi naval forces on the ship did not understand what was happening, so they were swallowed by the sea in an instant.
Fan Wulao could hardly believe his eyes, and only after more than a dozen Jiaozhi naval warships were destroyed and sunk in succession did he realize what kind of weapon the other party was using.
That's artillery.
For this powerful weapon, the Jiaozhi people have only heard of its name, but have never seen it. In fact, the Jiaozhi army is also equipped with firearms, but most of them are rockets, fireballs, fire spears, spray canisters, etc., and there are very few firecrackers, but this kind of "super big firearms" is not at all.
