The 261st Round: Helping each other in chaos

"Reinforcements have arrived! Why don't you fight to the death!? ”

With Zhang Xiu's shouting, the cavalry also saw the fleet that was approaching rapidly on the sea, and they all immediately became excited. And Zhang Xiu's cavalry saw it, and the Karasuma cavalry naturally saw it, and they were all shocked...... In the past, Ganning's pirate fleet was very fierce in the northern seas, and many Karasuma tribes had heard of his murderous name. Now that they are suddenly coming out, these Karasuma cavalrymen are also a little weak in their hearts.

Zhang Xiu commanded his subordinates to fight back again, and at this time, the ships on the sea had already approached the coast, but they were not completely docked. The transport ship among them lowered its plank, and some people shouted to Zhang Xiu: "General Zhang, board the ship quickly!" ”

Now it was interesting, when the cavalry heard this, they knew that this fleet was not reinforcements, but only came to meet their own escape, and they couldn't help but be a little deflated; On the other hand, when Karasuma heard that the other party was going to flee for his life, his momentum immediately became arrogant, and they rushed over to prevent Zhang Xiu's cavalry from wading into the water to board the boat.

Zhang Xiu naturally wanted to command the troops to fight and retreat, and soon the cavalry of the brigade retreated into the sea. And how can Karasuma give up? Zhang Xiu's bows and arrows were shot at Zhang Xiu's side, but because of his nomadic style, few dared to rush into the water to fight Zhang Xiu's cavalry at close range.

But looking at the near sea, arrows are raining down, and Zhang Xiu's cavalry is also struggling to resist. Fortunately, thanks to the excellent armor that Lu Ren was equipped with, the horses, bows and arrows of the Karasuma cavalry could not inflict any fatal damage on Zhang Xiu's cavalry. But even so, the appearance of almost everyone with a few arrows stuck in their bodies is really scary.

On the flagship lookout of the fleet, a certain guy roughly calculated the distance between the ship and the coast, nodded secretly, and then suddenly shouted: "Order the trebuchets of all ships to be launched together to cover the boarding of General Zhang's troops!" ”

With this order, the trebuchets on the side of the ships moved in unison, and hundreds of stone bullets flew over the heads of the Zhang Xiu cavalry who were in the sea like a storm, and smashed them fiercely at the Karasuma cavalry on the shore. And this one came down too suddenly. And how could these carasuma cavalry have ever seen such a scene? Before he could react, many Karasuma cavalry had already died under the rain of stone bullets.

The Karasuma cavalry on the coast was suddenly in chaos, and where could they care about firing bows and arrows at Zhang Xiu's troops who were wading to board the boat? In fact, to tell the truth, the transport ships in these ships were only less than thirty meters away from the coast because they had to pick up Zhang Xiu and them to board the ship, and if the Karasuma cavalry really wanted to fight back, they could still shoot the bows and arrows in their hands. It's just that this almost overwhelming stone bullet is coming, how many people still dare to stand within the strike range of the "meteor shower" and draw a bow and arrow? Due to the barrier of the sea, the strength advantage of the Karasuma cavalry could not be used at all.

On the flagship at this time, the guy who gave the order just now saw that Zhang Xiu's cavalry was a little confused. Most of the Karasuma cavalry were unwilling, and some people still wanted to rush over to chase and kill the backward Zhang Xiu cavalry, so they couldn't help but sigh and then said to themselves: "I knew that things would not be solved so easily...... I didn't want to use it, but now it seems that I can't use it. ”

Leaned out half of his body from the lookout platform and shouted at the side deck below: "Xingba, can't you hold it back?" ”

The hegemon, of course, is Gan Ning. Looking at Gan Ning again, he looked up at the man, his face was full of expectation: "Lu Servant, just wait for your order!" ”

Land servant shooting? Who else can have this title at the moment besides Lu Ren? Many people may not think of it. Lu Ren came to Chrysanthemum Island in person this time. And Lu Ren turned his head at this moment and looked at the coast over there, and then waved his hand to Gan Ning and said, "Let's do it!" Make a big deal of these Karasuma offal! ”

Gan Ning had been waiting for Lu Ren's words for a long time, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Pass the order to the Qinglong White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu." Let them scatter and shoot, and give Lao Tzu to fight where there are many people! ”

That's not all, then Gan Ning personally ran to a certain place on the side of the ship, and pushed away a certain soldier. And he snatched the torch from the soldier's hand, and then the torch lit something on something in front of him...... Well, this so-called "something" is actually a fuse on an artillery.

Lu Ren has been developing artillery for a long time. If it weren't for the limitations of some factors, Lu Ren might have been able to get the artillery out several years ago. Of course, with the current situation in Yizhou, the breech artillery Lu Ren cannot be put in order, but the breech artillery similar to the Hongwu cannon of the Ming Dynasty is not a problem. This time, Lu Ren urgently transferred Gan Ning back to Yizhou, that is, he transferred the five newly built gunboats in Yizhou to Gan Ning, and at the same time, because considering that Gan Ning would not use this thing, Lu Ren also rushed to the north in person...... However, Lu Ren thought that in this era, he could open up bombardments, and it was okay to be addicted.

However, at present, the caliber of these guns in Lu Ren's hands is not large, and they are all unified five inches, that is, about twelve centimeters, which is also the result of considering the current level of ship construction. The five gunboats, together with the deck, had three gun emplacements, six on one deck and eight on the other two decks, that is, a total of twenty-two guns on one side, and forty-four guns on the whole ship. Now the five gunboats opened fire in unison, and in each round there were one hundred and ten shells of 5x22 pouring out.

So what is the range of such artillery? To be honest, it's really not that far, the maximum range of the test is only about two hundred meters, after all, Lu Ren's artillery has just been built not long ago, and there are too many things to improve. But then again, 200 meters is converted into more than 80 zhang in the Han system, which was already a terrifying range at that time, and on such an occasion now, such a range just forms a large-scale impact area with a range of about 100 meters with a range of about 100 meters.

Another very important point is that when the shell hits the ground, the movement is inevitably too big, and in such an occasion, all the shots fired are scattered shells with the main purpose of killing and injuring soldiers. Every time a shell hits the ground, there is a loud bang, and then a large number of shrapnel flies in all directions.

The loud noise frightened both the men and horses of the Karasuma cavalry; The shrapnel flew indiscriminately, and the men and horses of the Karasuma cavalry were all bloody and blurry. It's like that loud noise...... How could the war horses of that era stand this? If it was just a loud noise, it might be better to say that with the Karasuma cavalry's proficiency in horses, it was believed that they could suppress the panic of the war horses, but the current situation was that Lu Ren's round of shelling was more than a hundred sounds, and the horses were so frightened that the horsemen could not be suppressed by the Karasuma cavalry, not to mention that the loud noise and damage caused by the cannonballs themselves brought great panic to the Karasuma cavalry. I'm panicked like that, how can I still suppress the war horse that straddles down?

So soon, the horses of the 20,000 Karasuma cavalry exploded almost at the same time, and they scattered for a while, and even many people were directly thrown off their horses by stepping off their horses, and then they were trampled into pulp by the chaotic crowd of horses. As for the reinforcement of Shanhaiguan...... The horses were shocked, and the hearts of the people were panicked, and there were chrysanthemums for reinforcements?

As soon as the Karasuma cavalry was in chaos, the pressure on Zhang Xiu's side to board the ship immediately dissipated, but the situation when the people and horses boarded the ship was still quite chaotic. There's no way, aren't the people on Zhang Xiu's side the same who haven't seen artillery? Fortunately, the landing site of the shell was some distance from Zhang Xiu's people, and the people and horses were relatively less frightened, and I don't know who yelled at everyone at that time, "Block the horse's ears", which made Zhang Xiu's people much better.

In chaos, Zhang Xiu's men and horses finally boarded the ship one after another. Gan Ning on the other end was enjoying his experience, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Lu Ren was already standing behind him at some point, so he laughed at Lu Ren and said, "Lu Servant, why don't you come a few times?" ”

Lu Ren smiled and shook his head: "No, I really want to have a chance to play." But Xingba, are you still satisfied with this new ship and new gun? ”

Gan Ning gave Lu Ren a thumbs up: "Just one word, cool!" This kind of ship cannon only runs rampant on the sea! ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "Before it was officially formed, it may be a little early to say this." ”

Saying that, Lu Ren looked at the chaotic Karasuma cavalry on the coast, and then looked at Zhang Xiu's troops who were boarding the ship one after another, and then pulled Gan Ning over, and whispered: "It's almost enough, don't go too far, after all, we still have business to do, and it is inconvenient for you and me to show up here in the north at this time." In addition, these new ships and new guns are delivered to you, and you have to go through some drills before they can really come in handy. ”

Gan Ning's expression was grim, and he said, "Gan understands!" ”

Lu Ren said: "Before it gets dark today, Lao Cao can take down Shanhaiguan, in other words, there is nothing for us here." However, for the sake of safety, I will let the rain girl lead the fleet to stay on the coast to scare and scare people, because now with the deterrence of our artillery bombardment, the frightened Karasuma cavalry should not dare to go from the coast as long as they see ships in the coastal area. You play a few more shots, and we'll get out of this area...... I don't want to run into Lao Cao. ”

Gan Ning was happy: "Gan understands!" ”

Lu Ren nodded, gave Gan Ning a thumbs up again, and then retreated into the cabin, carefully checking the boarding situation of Zhang Xiu's troops. Seeing Zhang Xiu's cavalry men and horses climbing into the boat in embarrassment, Lu Ren couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "Zhang Xiu, you shouldn't be so stupid, right?" Even if you're a little stupid, you should always remember what the rain girl told you, you just have to do it, otherwise I won't be able to save you. (To be continued.) )
