In the distance, Zhu Lie, who was holding a copy of Qin's 'clairvoyant mirror', could see clearly that before the explosion, the Qin army's broken ships threw a lot of wooden boxes into the river from the stern like dumplings, and it was strange that they must be in it.

His guess was not wrong, this was the 'Underwater Dragon King Cannon' developed by the Qin State Navy Research Institute after several years according to Qin Lei's suggestion!
This thing is shelled with a wooden box, waterproof with putty adhesive joints, filled with a large amount of **, and filled with weights of different amounts according to the actual situation, so that it is fixed at a position of six feet underwater, so as to conceal and locate.
At the top of the wooden box was a four-foot-high dendritic bracket with several rope hooks tied to it, but whenever a ship passed over it, it would trigger the bracket, and then trigger the ignition device in the thunder body, and the 'dragon cannon' would be struck from the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the boat would be shattered.
The successive explosions stirred up several long pillars of waves, lifting more than a dozen red horse boats into the sky, the curtains were also torn to pieces, and countless heavily armed Chu officers and soldiers screamed and fell from the sky into the water. It turns out that this is not a mothership at all, but a transport ship that ambushes the top soldiers!
Intuition told Zhu Lie that although those things were powerful, they could not be exhaustive in a hurry, and they would definitely be able to break through the past! What's more, he is not willing to give up the lore opportunity that he has created with great difficulty.
Although the assault force might be in danger of being wiped out if it continued to advance, Zhu Lie still ordered someone to blow the deer flute unique to the Chu State.
The officers and soldiers of Chu, who were originally a little hesitant, suddenly became colorless when they heard the sharp voice. The so-called 'when the deer flute sounds, there is no advance or retreat', it is the death order of the general of Shangzhu Guoda! The retreater will die in a split car, and the three clans will be wiped out!
It was impossible to retreat, so the Chu army assault soldiers had no choice but to lay down their hearts and charge forward frantically, praying for God's blessing and being able to safely cross the place of death in front of them.
With a series of explosions, the column of water that rose into the sky overturned many red horse boats on the lake. But Zhu Lie guessed correctly, and more than eighty percent of the clippers rushed to safety.
Before he had time to rejoice, Qin Youcai, who was in charge of guarding the king's ship, personally beat the drum and led seven powerful capital ships to rush towards the 'Red Horse' group.
These seven ships are the most powerful 'prince-class' warships in the Qin State at present, about 30 zhang long, with three rudder towers, wide bottoms, and the first one is high, which can accommodate more than 500 people. The skeleton of the ship is made of ironwood, which is extremely tough, and it is equipped with 12 driving paddle wheels to ensure strong speed. This ship has an advanced design and is powerful, and it can directly plow enemy ships! That is, the so-called fighting boat force does not fight manpower.
The Qin army entered the flock like a tiger and rampaged through the ranks of the Chu army. In front of these seven princely ships, the Chu army's red horse boat was like paper paste, and it was shattered at the slightest touch. Soon the river was covered with pieces of wood, the corpses of the slaughtered 'Red Horses'.
However, the quality of the Chu army's assault soldiers was extremely high, and they did not entangle with the Qin army, but took advantage of the small size, flexibility and speed of the red horse boat, and avoided the impact of the Qin ship like a loach, and rushed out of the battle group one after another, rushing towards the lonely warship.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Lie finally couldn't help laughing, and stroked the clairvoyant mirror worth 10,000 gold and said, "Everyone, Qin Yutian is in a catastrophe. The general on the side hurriedly echoed and smiled: "Qin Lei is a land tiger, and if you go into the water, you will become a sick cat, that is the opponent of our water dragon Shangzhu country?" "Although half of them don't have clairvoyance and can't see what's going on in the distance, they still have to boast about it.
"It is said that Qin Lei is the number one general in the world, and the old man can't look at it." General Shangzhu was already so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Suddenly, I heard a 'bang' in the distance, and before I finished laughing, fireworks were set off over there. Shangzhuguo sighed in his heart, quickly raised the clairvoyant mirror, leaned on his right eye and looked at the place where the explosion was fired.
He saw a strange scene, only to see countless bamboo tubes with fire in the back, roaring out from the six princely ships of the Qin army, and hitting the Red Horse Clipper hard. I don't know if it's because of the power of the thing, or because the red horse boat has poor defense, anyway, as long as it hits it, it will explode and catch fire, and the smoke will be everywhere, and the assault soldiers on the boat will either be killed or injured, and countless people will fall into the water.
The name of this weapon is 'Fire Dragon Out of the Water'. It is the most outstanding masterpiece of the Great Qin Navy Research Institute. It is made of a seven-foot-long bamboo or wooden tube, filled with gunpowder projectiles in the middle, and equipped with a gunpowder fuse at the back, which is very powerful.
Of course, this alone could not fly with the big explosion, and the Qin people also installed a half-kilogram powder keg on each side of the head and tail, gathered the four rocket fuses together, and connected them with the gunpowder fuses in the bamboo tube.
This thing can actually be used to fight that, but it is just used as a water war as soon as it comes up. When facing the enemy ship, light the four powder cartridges installed on the dragon's body, they are the driving force that propels the fire dragon to fly, and can push the fire dragon weighing more than ten pounds two or three miles away, from which the name "fire dragon out of the water" comes from.
This is not over, the gunpowder to be boosted burns out, and it automatically ignites the rocket in the bamboo tube, and then several rockets are fired from the front dragon's mouth, directly reaching the target, causing the enemy ship to burn.
It's easy to make, powerful, and has a great range, making it an epoch-making weapon. For a long time after that, it was the main individual weapon of the Qin army's water warfare, and made great achievements for the Great Qin Navy to sweep away Asia and Africa and dominate the ocean.
In fact, this weapon has been available since last year, but the treacherous and cunning Marshal Bo Xian, until the final battle, will never play his hole cards, and will press a series of good things under the box, just waiting for this one to be used.
It's a pity that the old marshal was killed by a stray arrow that flew from where he was under heavy protection, and he could only watch others avenge him with the trump card he nested in the western sky.
The fire dragon comes out of the water, and it is extraordinary. In the sound of explosions one after another, Qin Youcai, who was already on the verge of exhaustion, finally controlled the situation. He ordered the fleet to shoot and pursue, and finally left most of the red horse boats behind.
Although there were still more than a dozen small boats that had slipped through the net, Qin Youcai was no longer as worried as Fang Cai. There are 300 black-clothed guards and 200 thousand Niu guards on the king's ship, and it should be no problem to clean up these six or seven hundred Chu troops.
The talented brother guessed well, and saw that the king took the initiative to put down several small boats on the boat, and there were two black-clothed guards in charge of the ship on each boat, and five master Qianniu guards, rushing towards the red horse of the Chu army.
The king's boat also slowly stopped, and used the 'fire dragon out of the water' to shoot at the Chu army's speedboat, covering his own boat to come up.
In front of the most powerful escort team in the world, the Chu State commando, which had become the end of the crossbow, had no hope of success at all.
Qin Lei stood on the second-floor helm tower and looked at the railing, not only did he breathe a sigh of relief, but the iron blue on his face did not retreat in the slightest.
Behind him, Chu Yunluo, who was crumbling and discolored, bit her lip tightly, a pair of slender little hands tightly twisted together, and there was no blood at all due to excessive force.
Although Qin Lei remained silent from beginning to end, both of them understood very well that the fact that he was accurately recognized from hundreds of ships must have something to do with her sudden return.
"Can you listen to the concubine's explanation?" Yun Luo plucked up her courage and said softly.
Qin Lei neither looked back nor made a sound, and her indifferent performance seriously hurt the princess's self-esteem, so she also stopped her mouth, and just let the atmosphere continue to be cold.
Not to mention the two on the boat, just to mention the hard-working 'red horse' speedboats of the Chu State, there is not much left left of the combined attack of the Qin State. The dozen or so surviving ships were also blocked by the dense 'rockets' and could not advance an inch, and seeing that defeat was a foregone conclusion, the officers and men on board did not dare to get up on their prostrates, and they did not even have the courage to stand up.
But the atmosphere on one of the dinghys was noticeably different, with a dozen assault soldiers armed with shields in a circle, as if they were resisting the rain of arrows in all directions, and as if they were covering for some important task in the middle.
Through the gap in the human wall, you can vaguely see that it is actually a middle-aged man with a bent waist and a pale face, if it weren't for the strange style of the big bow in his hand, he would be a living tuberculosis ghost.
But everyone on the ship knew how powerful he was - it was this man's bow and arrow that shot the Zhennan Marshal of the Qin State last month. However, that earth-shattering achievement was forcibly suppressed by Shangzhu State, and those who knew about it were only their exclusive guards, and even some senior generals of the Chu army didn't know about it.
However, they did not complain, because the purpose of Shangzhu State was to make them make a greater contribution - that is, to shoot King Wucheng of Qin State and end this war completely! Once successful, even if they just block the bow and arrow for this person, they will also become national heroes, worshiped by thousands of people, and will soar from now on, and enjoy endless glory and wealth!
A violent coughing sound woke up the officers and soldiers who were in obscenity, and only listened to the leprosy ghost...... Oh no, the Arrow God Nameless coughed violently, "Count to three, the two in front of me move slightly. The two Chu soldiers nodded hurriedly and listened intently to the officer's report.
The leader of the team was actually a general, only to hear him sweat profusely and say: "Yi......" Nameless slowly closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
"Second ......" Nameless pulled out a dark iron wolf's tooth arrow from his back and gently rested it on the bowstring. The last time he shot Bo Xian Biling, he used ordinary feather arrows because he was afraid of revealing his stuffing. But it was the most important blow of his life, and after shooting this arrow, there was no one in the world who deserved him to shoot a bow.
"Three ......," the officer shouted in a distinctly tremolo voice. As soon as the words fell, the two of them flashed a seven-inch-wide void, and at the same time, they heard a buzzing sound, and the arrow had left the string and pierced through the person!
Everyone on the dinghy could see clearly, and the man and woman who were leaving the helm tower almost fell in response and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Hit!" The officers and soldiers cheered in a low voice: "It's better to kill two birds with one stone!" But when they looked at the arrow god in awe, wanting to express their excitement, they heard Nameless say with an extremely solemn face: "Missed, go quickly!" ā
The people did not believe and said, "It is clear that the man has fallen." ā
"Let's go!" Nameless hissed and roared, "The wolf's tooth arrow has sunk into the pillar, and it has not hurt anyone at all!" "Although I can't believe that my arrow from the Flying Immortal that day will shoot into the air, but it is true, it is still important to save my life.
Seeing that the arrow god was so eager, the officers and men on the boat believed it and hurriedly rowed away......
On the command platform on the second floor of the royal ship, the masters of Qianniu didn't even react, they heard the princess's scream, and when they turned around, they saw the princess falling to the ground with his arms around the princess. It wasn't until the sharp arrow that surpassed the sound shot through the pillar behind the prince silently, making a 'duh' sound, that everyone realized that the prince had been attacked!
"Protect the prince!" Shi Dang hurriedly pulled up the airtight human wall and blocked the entire command platform tightly, and then turned around to check the situation of the prince.
But I saw the prince and the princess lying on the ground, twisting together in a very unsightly posture. Glancing at the prince's dragon body, Shi Dang quickly turned his head and stood guard with the guards facing out for the princess and princess.
Princess Yunluo, who screamed to the end, did not feel the expected pain all over her body, but lay on Qin Lei's chest, her wide and warm chest was really comfortable...... Her Royal Highness the princess thought thought, I must have fallen into a daze.
She was comfortable, but Qin Lei threw himself to the ground with all his might, and when he was done, he had to be used as a meat cushion for others, and he was so angry that he was full of stars, full of meat and eight vegetarians, his chest was tight and short of breath, and he wanted to vomit blood.
It wasn't until there was a crowd on the command platform that Yun Luo knew what had happened. The feeling of happiness made her feel warm, and the little awkwardness melted when the ice and snow melted, she hugged Qin Lei's neck tightly, and said with a little face full of happiness: "This is the second time you have saved me." ā
"Let it go." Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said, "You're about to strangle me." ā
Yun Luo hurriedly let go of her arm, got off him, rubbed his chest painfully and said, "Are you okay?" ā
"I can't die." Feeling that the boulder on his chest was removed, Qin Lei breathed in the fresh air, and was unable to speak for a while.
Yun Luo looked at his exaggerated face stupidly, and suddenly said faintly for a long time: "Why do you want to save me?" ā
"Because you're my wife." Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said, "Pull me up." The latter sentence was said to Shi Dang.
Shi Dang stretched out his hand without squinting, dragged the prince up from the ground, and said softly: "Prince, we are chasing the murderous ship. Hitting his arm on his shoulder, Qin Lei followed the direction pointed by Shi Dang and saw that the red horse speedboat was rushing towards the north. Although the king's ship was already moving at full speed, the distance between the two sides had become farther and farther, and it was already three or four miles away.
"Xu You!" Qin Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Let's count the new hatred and old hatred together!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring a fire dragon!" The soldier picked out the best fire dragon and presented it to the prince.
Qin Lei took it, carried the seven-foot-long bamboo tube onto the railing, tilted his head to aim at the red horse boat in the distance, and reached out to take the incense.
Shi Dang had to remind: "Lord Wang, the enemy seems to be out of range. "The effective range of this thing is only three miles, and it's hard to say if it's far away, and it's possible to get headlong into the water. If it is the idol of officers and soldiers, His Royal Highness King Wucheng, who is invincible and omnipotent, has shot empty, but it is a very shameful thing.
Qin Lei sneered and said, "I have a good character." Without hesitation, he lit the fuse of the fire dragon. There was a burst of fire accompanied by white smoke in the sizzling sound, and the lead was rapidly shortened. Qin Lei only felt a strong force pushing himself back, and saw the fire dragon flying out in a whirlwind. It's really a super diamond monkey that I haven't let go of in two lifetimes!
"One more!" He's addicted.
The officers and soldiers on the red horse boat rowed desperately, only Nameless, that is, Xu You, stood firmly at the stern of the boat, holding bows and arrows and looking behind vigilantly.
Suddenly, I saw a bamboo pipe flying over with fireworks, just saw the power of this fire dragon, Xu You didn't dare to hold it up, and when it flew within 200 steps, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot a Xuantie wolf smoke arrow.
The arrow hit the dragon head accurately, and inserted it without hindrance, and the fire dragon was detonated in mid-air.
It's a pity that even the general was busy rowing, and no one applauded this miraculous archery, which was really a pity.
Before Xu You could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw another fire dragon flying in front of him, and hurriedly raised his hand to put on his bow, fired another arrow, and detonated it again.
The fire dragons flew over one after another, and Xu You had no choice but to brace himself to deal with it, and shot six arrows one after another, detonating the six fire dragons. But that was his limit, the domineering qigong gave him the ability to shoot the Sun God Bow, but it also destroyed his body, making his lungs hurt a little harder.
After holding on to shoot the ninth arrow, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he threw himself on the ground with his bow, bent his waist and coughed violently, even coughing up blood everywhere.
But the fire dragon still glided from the water in a dashing manner, and in the middle of the red horse, the boat broke off, and Xu You was also swept away, falling straight into the water.
After a while, Qin's clipper also arrived, and Qianniuwei cast his fishing nets and salvaged him and the sun-shooting bow that he was holding in a coma.
Seeing that the killing situation created by painstaking efforts and loneliness fell short, Zhu Lie didn't even have the strength to scold, and it was almost dark at this time, so it was convenient for the two to collect their troops and fight again in the coming day.
