"Fluffy ......"

This is the second round of red-hot salvos! Or forty hot iron balls flew out at the same time. This time, two more hits ignited the chain ship that changed into a five. In just a few minutes, two serial ships caught fire. The ship suddenly became a hell of fire, and the burned, scalded, and bruised sailors let out heart-rending screams.

"I'm ...... to death"

"Help me!"

"What kind of sin is this?"

Occasionally, there is the sound of a human body falling into the water, and a few dull explosions sound, this is the Mongolian army iron cannon has been martyred! The gunpowder filled with these cannons was of inferior quality, but it saved a lot of lives, and the explosion was not violent, but it only blew up the compartment where the cannons were stored, and did not sink the entire chain ship.

Of course, this is also related to the structure of the chain ship, six parallel ships are equal to six ** water compartments, and destroying one will not let the wooden ship sink. It's just that after such a trauma, the three burning serial ships have no possibility of fighting again, and the ship is even more chaotic, and the soldiers who know how to water have jumped out of the boat to escape, and the landlubbers who can't water are still busy putting out the fire at first, but after a while, they are still burned and can't stand it, and they have jumped into the rolling Yangtze River with a plank or something else......

"Hurry, hurry! Paddle hard! ”

Shi Bin was still shouting loudly, urging his soldiers to row hard, trying to shorten the distance between him and the twenty three-layer oared warships in front of him.

"Hurry, hurry, just rush up...... The Great Khan can be watching! Shi Bin gritted his teeth and clenched a horse lance hard, as if he was fantasizing about using it to pierce the chests of several Song Army soldiers, and it was best to stab Chen Dexing to death!

"Fluffy ......"

Twenty more iron balls fell from the sky, and this time they all missed. It landed in the Yangtze River, less than twenty paces in front of the Mongolian serial boat.

"God forbid!"

The soldiers on the ship all sighed in their hearts, and Shi Bin was no exception, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Today's battle really made him feel unprecedented danger!

"Two red-hot bombs! Hair! ”

Wang Jue, the general of the Lion's artillery team, is a graduate of the first phase of the camp martial arts school, and this talented young man has undergone several months of rigorous training. Now in charge of commanding two stone machines. Accurate ranging and wind measurement are not possible, but it is also possible to grasp the approximate launch time through guò test firing - that is, the timing! When the test is fired, find the approximate impact area, and wait until the opponent enters the area before the red-hot or explosive projectile occurs. That's how the Thunderbolts fire now, and that's why they anchor their ships before firing.

In the two rounds of blazing bomb attacks just now, all ships of the Thunderbolt Navy fired a single shot. for maximum range. And now, as the opposing side approaches, the ships begin to attack with double bullets. That's two blazing bombs per hair stone at a time! Twenty oars can shoot eighty hot bombs at the same time!

Shi Bin, as well as countless Mongolian sailors, all raised their heads at this time, and looked at the dozens of black dots in the air with fearful eyes, flipped and flew towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Knock knock knock......

The sound of a heavy object hitting sounded. And then, as usual, there was a heart-rending scream! Shi Bin only felt a shaking under his feet, and he half-knelt before he stood firmly. Then a foul smell of burning came to his nostrils! As soon as he turned his head, he saw a human body lying on the ground struggling to get up, but its limbs were only twitching. Shi Bin just wanted to go up and help him, but suddenly saw that the head on this body had exploded like a rotten watermelon, and red, white, and gray things were splashing around, and some were still smoking, emitting bursts of scorching smell. There were also several human bodies lying around the corpse, smoking somewhere on the body. Apparently rubbed by a blazing bomb. The man was not dead yet, he was screaming, and his facial features were distorted and deformed. One of them was also gulping for blood. raised his hand at Shi Bin, as if he wanted Shi Bin to pull him, but in an instant, he lost his strength, and his arm hung down weakly.

"Fire! Fire! Let's go to the water! ”

I don't know who shouted, temporarily pulling Shi Bin out of shock and fear. The flames had already burst out, and I don't know what was lit. There is nothing on fire on a chain ship. Ropes, planks, cannons, rockets, all things that can be caught at once. And the soldiers on the ship. Most of them are the new annexed army, that is, the Song army that surrendered to Mongolia in Xichuan, where is there any morale. They were all forced into battle. When you are in order, you can only be honest, and now you don't take advantage of the chaos to escape? I only heard the sound of falling water one after another, and for a while I didn't know how many people fell into the water, only to see floating human heads everywhere on the river.

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire! Don't dive! Violators will be killed! ”

Shi Bin is really a little anxious, although he can also water, but this is the Yangtze River, not the small river and creek in his hometown of Yongqing, and this water flow alone is not something that the human body can fight against - no one can swim back upstream against the current, and will only be washed up to the side of the Song Army Dazhai in Nantuo. If you don't drown, what good end will you have in the hands of those murderous southern barbarians?

After the hot hot bomb created a human purgatory on the Mongolian army's serial ship, I saw that on the three-layer paddle ship on the river, the catapult rod of the stone engine in the bow of the ship was pulled into place again by the winch and rope, and then there was a muffled sound of "canopy canopy", and the blazing iron ball flew like locusts, and the two serial ships that rushed to the front were immediately shot, and the screams, cries for help, scolding and the sound of the human body falling into the water resounded together!

However, whether it was a fire or a chain of ships that had already jumped into the water to escape, as long as it sank, they all continued to move forward without exception. It is not how brave the Mongolian sailors are in driving the boats, but the current of the Yangtze River is pushing these chain ships forward tenaciously.

Therefore, in the opinion of Shi Tianze and Wang Tiange, who commanded the battle in the rear, and the Mongol Great Khan, who watched the battle from a higher height, the shape on the battlefield was not bad—if they had a telescope, they would not have such an opinion.

"Cuixian, look, the Southern Barbarian has retreated!"

Li Cuixian was also sitting on a tall Western Regions horse at this moment, standing on a high place to watch the battle. Standing alongside her was the Mongolian half-blood princess, Baoyin Temur. This woman is a noble species, and her mother was included in the harem by Meng Ge before she came with her as a drag oil bottle. He didn't get along well with a group of three generations of tractors, but he was quite familiar with Li Cuixian. This time the march simply left with Li Cuixian.

"It seems that this Chen Dexing is not a powerful character, and he can't even fight the warriors of the Great Mongolia in a water battle," a trace of contempt flashed on Baoyin's beautiful face, "I don't know how martial arts are?" ”

"You don't know how martial arts are compared." Li Cuixian tried to hide the worry in her heart, and smiled reluctantly, "When the warriors of the Great Khan capture Chen Dexing, our Princess Baoyin will go to him to compete, so that he can know that the daughter of the Great Mongolia is also proficient in martial arts, and she is stronger than their warriors of the Southern Barbarians!" ”

Princess Baoyin nodded seriously, "Yes, that's it!" ”

"Woo ......"

The sound of the horn broke through the air and resounded on both sides of the Yangtze River. This is the Mongol Great Khan urging the troops!

"Let's go," Princess Baoyin wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead and said to Li Cuixian with a smile, "The Great Khan is urging his warriors, let's also move forward together, and go to see how the warriors of the Great Mongolia broke through the Nanban military fortress and overturned the Nanban centipede ship in this rolling Yangtze River!" ”

"Hmm." Li Cuixian put away the last trace of melancholy, rode his horse to follow Baoyin, and the two of them walked to the edge of the Yangtze River surrounded by dozens of subordinates.

On a road that has been stepped out by slender men for thousands of years, countless Mongolian cavalry and Mongolian Han infantry, dressed in heavy, damp, foul-smelling leather armor, converging their baggage, dragging shoddy torsion stones, and driving in the scorching sun.

At this time, the Thunderbolt Naval Army's warships, which had just retreated two or three miles on the river, once again lined up two horizontal formations on the river and lowered the iron anchor.

Fighting and retreating, keeping a distance, and throwing fiery bullets with a stone machine is a standard tactic in the Thunderbolt Army's drill - in fact, it is to fight fast and slow, and give full play to the advantage of firepower. However, this kind of tactic, which works well in exercises and operations on the map, is not very ideal in actual combat.

"There are many Tartar ships that catch fire, but not many that capsize! Big brother, let's use the Heavenly Thunder Arrow! "Gao Da, the commander of the Thunderbolt Army, has been standing beside Chen Dexing and acting as the chief of staff of the entire fleet. Seeing that several burning serial boats on the river were still floating forward, without the slightest intention of sinking, this fisherman-born sailor general was really a little anxious. If you retreat ten miles and eight miles downstream, it will be the Nantuo Water Army Dazhai!

"No way!" Chen Dexing waved his hand without hesitation, "You can't use the Heavenly Thunder Arrow!" This is our killer weapon, if you use it, the Tartar Khan will be on guard! ”

The Sky Thunder Arrow is undoubtedly the sharpest weapon in the hands of the Thunderbolt Army, much more powerful than the Blazing Bullet - the biggest problem with the Blazing Bullet is that the accuracy is too poor, and if you hit eighty shots, you will only hit three or four shots, and the hit rate is only a few percent. And the Heavenly Thunder Arrow almost hit every hundred times at the same distance!

However, it is difficult to build Tianlei Arrows, and the number is quite limited - Chen Dexing is not in a position to establish a strong military production system to ensure the supply of arms to the Perak Army. Because he doesn't have his own territory yet, and he also doesn't have enough financial resources.

Therefore, on this expedition, Chen Dexing only brought less than 500 heavenly thunder arrows, in addition to 5,000 small heavenly thunderbolts thrown by hand and 2,500 large heavenly thunderbolts thrown by stone generators. According to the battle plan, all thunderbolts must be prioritized for land battles, among which the arrows that can shoot long-range thunder arrows are a sharp weapon to snipe the Mongol Khan, and they must not be exposed in advance in water warfare!

Otherwise, with more than 8,000 thunderbolts of all kinds, you can kill more than 90,000 Tartars and traitors! (To be continued)
