'Chen Kefu's name is worth more than 100,000 strong troops. ’

This is a phrase that I don't know when it began to circulate, but after this sentence was circulated, no one ever openly objected to it. It's really Chen Kefu's name is too loud, that name represents a legend, iron blood, and conquest! Especially those generals who were once defeated under Chen Kefu's long sword, they are even more convinced of this. Even in their opinion, at any time, the name Chen Kefu is definitely more than enough to reach 100,000 strong troops. With Chen Kefu here, the Chen army will be invincible and invincible.

At this moment, when the countless warships in front of the Yangtze River Quarry Rock appeared under the banner of Chen Kefu, whether it was Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren, Sun Shihan and other generals, or nearly 80,000 Wu army soldiers, everyone had a kind of unbearable weakness in their hearts.

Although on the surface, none of Shan Xiongxin and the others admitted that they were afraid of Chen Kefu, but in fact, they kept ordering the Wu soldiers to arrange one after another dense spear phalanx in front of the quarry rocky tidal flat. Even Shan Xiongxin urgently ordered another 10,000 horses from Quarry City to come to help and strengthen the defense.

Chen Jun's combat effectiveness is well known, and once Chen Ke returns to Chen Jun, the combat effectiveness will be increased exponentially. In the face of this Chen army, which is led by Chen Ke's reincarnation, everyone can only do their best to prepare.

"The catapult is ready, and the Chen army battleship will be launched as soon as it enters the firing range!"

"Stabilize your position, Chen Jun is also flesh and blood, and he will die if he is stabbed with one shot!"

"Archers, crossbowmen ready. Chen Jun landed as soon as he landed. Shoot now until all the arrows are fired, and all the arrows are lit with fire oil! ”

"Shieldmen, all come forward."

"In this battle, Xu Wei is not allowed to lose, Xu Jin is not allowed to retreat, and anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!"

One military order after another was announced at a rapid pace under the gallop of the herald cavalry. Even in order to prevent the soldiers from retreating at that time, Shan Xiongxin and the three of them also transferred all their personal guard battalions to serve as judges of the overseers.

"Bang!"

Suddenly. Wu Jun on the shore only felt a sudden huge vibration under his feet, and then the next moment, it seemed that the sky was collapsing, as if the ground was cracking! It's like a tsunami. It's more like a mountain.

A violent tremor was followed by a loud bang, and the sound shook everyone with dizziness and tinnitus.

A red light shone, and Shan Xiongxin, who had just stabilized his figure, suddenly found in horror that a ball with gunpowder and green smoke suddenly flew from the enemy ship in Jiangxin. The balls were the size of half a man's head, and they flew from the sky as if they were a meteorite from outside the sky.

"How is this possible?" Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but lose his voice.

The enemy ships on the river were more than two miles away from the defensive positions on the shore, and nearly three miles away, which was nearly a thousand paces away. Even the longest-range winch crossbow known, the kind that requires three hundred men to winch and fire. The range is only 750 paces.

Shan Xiongxin forgot his movements for a while, and watched as the meteorite that seemed to be whistling fell on the riverbank position that stretched for several miles.

"Boom!"

The ground shook violently, and many Wu soldiers fell to the ground. Shan Xiongxin didn't fall, he held the long sword in his hand to freeze his figure, and his eyes were fixed on the place where the meteorite fell.

He only saw that the balls the size of a human head slammed into the array of secret orders, and then splashed high blood meat sauce. At that moment, at least a few people were killed, and several others were disabled. But the ball didn't stop immediately. After killing and injuring several people at once, the ball actually bounced again, and then smashed into the array a few feet away.

One, two, three...,

The terrified ball bounced several times in the dense array of Wu Jun. before finally stopping. And the damage done by this is quite staggering, every shot hit. Erosion of dozens of feet, no physiology.

Two hundred shells shelled the positions of the Wu army at the same time, and this shelling caused at least 1,000 casualties, and what was even more serious was that this shelling hit the morale of the Wu army to the lowest. No one had ever heard of it, no one had seen it, and no one had even thought that the battle could be fought like this.

Separated by a distance of nearly three miles, in just one breath, the side has already lost a thousand people, but they can only look at the river and sigh, and they can't even fight back. This situation of being beaten purely passively made Shan Xiongxin's face extremely pale.

On the flagship of the Anlan, Chen Kefu had just sat up from the deck.

The flagship of the Anlan itself is a five-story five-tooth battleship, especially as his flagship, it is an oversized super battleship. This time, a hundred Hongyi cannons were directly installed, and just now, fifty cannons were bombarded at one time, and the huge vibration and sound not only shocked the people on the ship, but even made people's ears roar. If it weren't for the plugging of the ears before, it is estimated that people would not be able to hear the sound for several days.

patted the clothes, Chen Kefu quickly picked up the clairvoyant mirror and observed the Wu army front on the other side.

As far as the eye can see, it is tragic.

The Wu army, who knew nothing about the battleship cannons, also treated Chen Jun's sailors as ordinary sailors, and this time, they suffered a big loss. With this shelling alone, the array of Wu troops several miles long on the shore had already been blasted out of hundreds of large and small holes. It's like a plank of wood that has been beaten into a sieve.

Looking at this result, Chen Kefu's heart was also very excited.

These red-coated cannons took a lot of effort and years to build. The cost is even more numerous, and it can be said that the redcoat cannon is completely piled up by money. A red-coated cannon weighed 3,000 catties, and it was made entirely of copper.

And in this era, copper is the standard currency, and Qian Qianwen has always weighed six catties. A 3,000-pound red-coated cannon is worth 500 yuan even if it sells copper for a catty. And the most expensive thing about the redcoat cannon is not the material, that is the manufacturing process.

It can be said that a cannon is more than ten times its own material, and it is worth at least five thousand yuan. Five thousand dollars, that's a lot of money. The annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only tens of millions of yuan, which is also the reason why Chen Chao praised various special products.

And in addition to the cannons, the shells are also expensive. The cannonball, which weighs 20 pounds each, is a spherical solid bullet made of stone, iron, lead and other materials. These shells are ingenious and have a variety of shapes and methods, but they are mainly destructive by directly hitting the target. It is precisely for this reason that the shells must be proportionate to the ammunition in order to ensure that they have a long range and greater lethality.

One shell is 20 catties, and just now in the first round of shelling, 200 shells have already been fired. The cost of a shell is almost two yuan, and just now, four hundred yuan was punched.

Although this cannon is powerful, it is also a real way to smash people with money. And it's not a copper coin with a penny, it's completely smashed with silver and gold.

However, it all paid off. High investment, there will always be high output, this has always been Chen Kefu's famous saying.

patted the barrel of the cannon that was more than a foot long, and Chen Kefu decisively ordered, "Continue the shelling, and continue to shell a base." ”

Chen Lei on the side was stunned: "Your Majesty, if you really hit a base of 400 shells, then all our shells will be exhausted." ”

Chen Kefu was also silent for a moment after hearing this, and the original base of 400 rounds was completely modeled after later generations. But at the moment, that's obviously a bit too much. After really hitting a base, I don't know when I have to fight, and they don't have so many shells. …,

"Then change the number to forty shells. Forty rounds of shelling were carried out in a row. Get all the Qinglong double-decker battleships ready, stop the shelling, and immediately rush to the beach! ”

"Yes!"

On the mast of the Anlan battleship, the command lantern was quickly raised and transmitted to the surrounding ships.

One battleship after another raised their lights, indicating that orders had been received.

The next moment, the two hundred cannons that had been reloaded were fired again, blasting two hundred shells the size of a man's head towards the opposite bank.

The Wu army on the quarry side of the river was still in chaos, and Shan Xiongxin was also stunned just now, he guessed that those were Chen Jun's new secret weapons, and they must also be a gunpowder weapon. But he didn't know how to deal with this.

Abandon the riverbank position at this point? That is impossible, in this way, Chen Jun can easily land. He continued to defend it, but he didn't know how many weapons of that fear there were.

Just when he was hesitating, suddenly countless Wu Jun around him shouted in panic.

"Here we are, here we go again!" Countless Wu soldiers scattered in terror. They had all witnessed the power of those meteorite-like big iron balls just now, and the stone bullets of this thing catapult were much more powerful, and when they smashed down, basically there would be no scum left within a few feet next to it.

Before Shan Xiongxin could come up with any good solution, the second round of shelling had ended, and the Wu army on the riverside was once again killed by hundreds.

"Retreat, retreat a thousand steps, retreat to the city to defend!" Shan Xiongxin quickly issued a new general order.

He didn't know if the battleships on the river would be able to beat him after retreating to the city. But now, he has no other way, and if he stays here like this, he doesn't know what other results will be except to be slowly annihilated by Chen Jun.

"Woo woo woo-" The short withdrawal horn had already sounded, and the soldiers of the Wu army, who had been suffering a lot, seemed to hear the fairy music, and without the slightest hesitation, they immediately turned around and rushed towards the quarry city. If it weren't for the officers behind them with bows and arrows, they would have run away, and now they have finally received the order to retreat, and no one has delayed.

The wind blows and the tide blows, and the flags are swept up.

After only two rounds of shelling, the Wu army's riverbank defense line completely collapsed, and 40,000 Wu troops turned and fled in panic. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
