The second ship, called the ship, had a ploughshare-shaped bow, a pointed head and a broad tail, three masts, three decks, and eighteen gun emplacements, which could carry 300 armor soldiers, which was conducive to ramming and approaching the battle.

The third boat, called the speedboat, had a pointed head and a sharp tail, a mast, twenty-four oars, and could carry fifty armor soldiers in one boat, and its speed was surprisingly fast, and it was used for reconnaissance and sneak attacks.

This is only Hao Ren's theory, but the real three types of warships planned by Hao Ren are not many in number and equipment, and most of them are ordinary flat-bottomed sand boats, fishing boats, and lake boats on the Yangtze River.

Shouzhou, the flagship of the Qingfeng Army, Hao Ren stood on the deck of the tall building ship, the river wind blew the handsome flag, Hao Ren took the monocular and looked at the city, and saw the frightened soldiers on the ground at the head of the city, and turned the direction of the telescope, and saw that the 20 tall building ships of the navy army had surrounded Wuhu City from both sides of the Qingge River and the Yangtze River.

Hao Ren put down his glasses and said coldly to the guard behind him: "Inform Yu Tonghai, let's start!" ”

"No!" Wu Liujiu hugged his fists!

Woo –

Woo –

The cold horn sounded across the river, and Wu Liujiu, the guard of the Marshal's Mansion, took the order, blew the horn, and sent an attack signal to the building ships in front, and the twenty building ships that attacked the main attack issued echoing horns one after another.

Knock –

Knock Knock Knock –

After an impassioned war drum, the guns on the ship exploded one after another.

Billowing smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun, accompanied by the light of the fire, and huge lead pellets gushed out from the muzzle of the gun with a huge roar.

Half of the river was shrouded in gunsmoke, and the warships were also whitened by gunsmoke, and the river was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur.

The huge solid lead pellet, with the sound of breaking through the air, roared and flew up to the city.

The cannonball hit the city wall, and with a 'bang', the cannonball shattered the city bricks, deeply embedded in the strong and strong, and half of the city wall was trembling!

The cannonball hit the middle of the two battlements, and with a 'pounce', seven or eight soldiers were overturned under the city, piercing the soldiers in the front row and falling outside the city, and the soldiers in the back row were blurred in flesh and blood, and flew down into the city with a scream.

After all, the soldiers in the middle of the battlement are a minority, when the cannon flies, the Mengyuan soldiers instinctively hide behind the battlements, Rao is like this, and the Mengyuan soldiers are not exempt from the disaster.

The cannonball hit the battlement, and with a 'snap', the battlement was shattered, and the stone fell into the ground, and the cannonball directly flattened one of the battlements, and the remaining momentum of the cannonball did not disappear, and flew straight into the city, and the soldiers who fell under the battlement were also beaten with blurred flesh and blood.

Twenty warships, eighteen guns on one side, a total of 360 guns, just one round of artillery down, has already beaten the soldiers on the city head of the ghost crying wolf, the flesh and blood are blurred, there is not a single enemy soldier who still has resistance in the city!

"Turn the bow of the ship and get ready for another round! Send out a thousand households to test the attack! Hao Ren put down the binoculars and ordered.

Wow –

Whoop –

The sailors stepped on the turboprops, instantly turned the bows of the twenty big ships, and the bows were perpendicular to the city wall, and the two hundred small boats, like offline arrows, quickly passed through the gap made by the big ships and drove directly to Wuhu City!

The small boat was full of fifty armorers with shields and crossbows, and the armorers on the boat shouted loudly, and had the courage to swallow Wuhu City, but the boat was a hundred steps away from the city wall, but the warship stopped, and the shield bearers covered the crossbowmen and shot crossbow arrows at the city!

Collapse - collapse - collapse -

Several test-fired crossbowmen accurately threw the test-fired crossbow arrows onto the city, and the crossbow arrows were embedded in the city.

One hundred paces is the effective range of the crossbow arrows, and it has also reached the attack radius of the defending army!

Seeing that the Qingfeng army had stopped shelling, Hu Boyan sent a small boat to attack the city, and hurriedly rushed the armor, ballista, and catapult hidden behind the city wall along the road and pounced on the city!

Wuhu City, which was originally lifeless, immediately burst out with vitality, the city was crowded with archers, who only cared about throwing bows and arrows at the Qingfeng army in small boats, and behind the infantry, catapults and ballistas were pushed up to the city, ready to go!

Hao Ren put down the binoculars and smiled at Wu Liujiu beside him: "Hu Boyan is really a little level, and he still retains the ability to resist, let the crossbowmen withdraw from the enemy's attack range, and the second round of strikes of the battleship begins!" ”

Woo –

The flagship sounded a terrible horn, and the Chinese standard-bearer played the flag, recruiting back the thousands of sailors who had previously tried to attack, and at the same time, the second round of artillery on the battleship began!

Hu Boyan secretly complained, knowing that the Qingfeng army was in the big dang, and the Qingfeng army did not really want to attack, but to attract his firepower, and still left a strong follow-up firepower.

Now that the main army has been transferred to the city, it is not so easy to retreat!

"Retreat!" When Hu Boyan heard the first cannon shot, he knew that it was not good, and he hurriedly asked the soldiers to retreat, but there was still time there?

Three hundred and sixty cannons, the first explosion was loud, the cannonballs hit the city, the Mengyuan soldiers had a place to hide, dropped catapults and ballistas, 10,000 people fled, the road behind the city wall, it was not enough for the rapid evacuation of the soldiers, the soldiers shouted and hugged back, and blocked the dense turns!

Instead of being shattered by a cannonball, it is better to jump into the river outside the city, perhaps, there is a chance of survival!

"Plop!"

"Plop!" "Plop!"

……

One person took the lead, everyone followed, there were thousands of Mengyuan soldiers on the river in an instant, the river was turbulent, and the soldiers who fell into the water desperately went downstream to the city wall, hoping to swim to the shore, and there was a glimmer of hope to live.

Most of Hu Boyan's soldiers and horses were recruited in Anqing, north of the Yangtze River, and now they are in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can't change the characteristics of growing up by the river since they were young and have good water quality.

When the 'champion' was produced in the swimming competition held by Yu Boyajun, the 'champion' sat on the shore, panting heavily, he did not have a trace of the joy of the champion, but was glad that he was watery and saved his life, and he was quite complacent.

However, God made up his mind to take his life today, and the champion only felt that the wall was as dark as a mountain in front of him, and it collapsed with a bang, burying him on the south bank of the Yangtze River!

Born in Anqing, died in Wuhu, the city wall buried him on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it can be regarded as a burial!

Under the powerful firepower, the city wall finally couldn't resist, and half of the city wall collapsed into the river, throwing the ballistas, catapults and soldiers on the city wall into the Yangtze River!

When the second round of artillery of the Qingfeng Army remembered, Hu Boyan knew that it was over, and he was not Hao Ren's opponent.

He ran from Anqing to Wuwei, and crossed the south of Wuhu from Wuwei to defend Wuhu, just to avoid the blow of the Qingfeng army, and now under the blow of powerful firearms, the wall of Wuhu has collapsed, and there is no point in resisting.

"Retreat to Jiqing!" Hu Boyan gave the order to retreat!

"General Deng, it's your turn!" Hao Ren said to Deng Yu behind him!

"The lord is waiting for good news!" Deng Yu said, picked up the iron gun, jumped on the speeding warship, and went to Wuhu City! (To be continued.) )
