Chapter 170 Killing Khan Seven The first order is over 500 plus more
Luo Luo is so moved, the big people really support Luo Luo, there is nothing to say, add more to offer!
"Great Khan of Tartars! Found the Tartar Khan! ”
On the watchtower of the Tiger battleship, Monk Liu put down his binoculars, raised his arm and pointed to a hill on the south bank of the Yangtze River and roared.
Chen Dexing looked up and saw that the Jiuyou Baixu, which symbolized the supreme power of Mongolia, was moving slowly.
"Almost 1,000 steps!" Chen Dexing estimated the distance, Jiuyou Baixu is about 1,000 hundred steps away from the bank of the Yangtze River, that is, about 1,500 meters, and has already come out of the effective range of the three-bow bed crossbow!
"Meng Ge Na is heading in the direction of Nantuo Water Village, it seems that he is planning to personally supervise the army to attack our camp, it is better to turn back first......" Monk Liu looked forward with some worry while carrying Jian Yiyi.
The twenty warships of the Thunderbolt Navy have completed the change of formation, and two columns have been discharged, ready to attack! And the Mongolian naval army and the horse infantry army on the opposite side are not blind, so they naturally see it clearly and make corresponding adjustments. Among them, the Mongolian naval army was divided into two parts, and dozens of boats rushed in front, regardless of whether there was a fire or not, they still followed the original course direction to fight the water village in Nantuochang. The boats that followed behind all leaned to the right, the south bank of the Yangtze River, as if trying to block the path of the Perak Navy. However, looking at their scheduling, they always can't get out of a garbled word, and the originally untidy formation is now scattered in a few places, just rushing towards the shore one after another.
The Mongolian horse infantry on the bank of the Yangtze River was well dispatched, and the Mongolian cavalry dismounted one after another. He took out his bow and lined up on the shore, and in front of them there were Han soldiers with large shields as cover, and several fires were lit. It was supposed to be used to ignite the rocket. Behind the Mongolian archers, the stone machines were also erected, large and small, looking like shoddy things, but there were quite a few of them, and there were hundreds of them!
"Big brother, the Tartars want to attack us by land and water!" Monk Liu's face was slightly pale.
Chen Dexing snorted coldly: "This is what I am waiting for!" Tartars do not understand water warfare. I don't know how to send stones and thunder, if you want to flank us, you will be sent to death, and watch me kill all the way! Defeat the Tartars' army first! ”
"But Nantuo Dazhai ......"
"Rest assured. Taoist priests and strong forces can hold on, and it doesn't take much time! He just waved his hand fiercely, "Thunderbolt Army, assault!" Assault! Full Speed Assault"
The order soon turned into a flag slogan for a full-speed assault. The 3,480 wooden oars of the twenty battleships rowed vigorously at the same time at this moment. Separate the countercurrent and make a splash.
"Kill the Tartars! Go to Heaven! Paddle hard, work hard......" With a burst of catchy trumpets, all the strength of the 3,480 oarsmen suddenly turned into a huge thrust. As mentioned earlier, the biggest advantage of a three-layer oared battleship is its speed - in fact, the extreme speed of this ancient battleship can almost catch up with the boats of later generations! It can reach a high speed of 11 knots on calm and windless water! That's almost 20 kilometers per hour! Considering the speed of the water in the Nantuochang area, the twenty three-story paddle ships still ran at a high speed of about 15 kilometers per hour at this moment.
"This centipede ship is so fast!?" In the eyes of Shi Tianze, who was watching the battle with his neck stretched, the speed of fifteen kilometers per hour was almost the same as flying!
"Is this still in the countercurrent......" As soon as Brother Wang Tian's words came out, his face suddenly changed greatly. Not good! The southern barbarians are going to grab the stream! ”
The counter-current is already flying, and if they are allowed to rush behind the Mongol naval fleet, they will take a position with the current. How fast it must be to rush up with the current!
"Occupy the stream? They are going to ......" Shi Tianze was a little older, and he was slow to react, and he didn't understand it all at once.
"They're going to hit our boat!" Brother Wang Tian's face turned blue, "Shibo, on this Yangtze River, these centipede boats are heavily armored iron horses!" Our chain ships are infantry, if we let the heavy armored iron cavalry rush up......"
Shi Tianze's old face turned pale suddenly, as a veteran traitor, he can see much more about what the Mongolian cavalry's chiseling formation is! When the Mongol heavy cavalry galloped up and crashed into battle with great momentum, only the most elite infantry could stop it!
And the same principle applies to centipede ships, I'm afraid! If they rush at full speed, only the most elite sailors will be able to stop them...... It's a pity that the Mongolian naval army, which has just been converted from infantry, is not enough to see at all, and it can't even put out a minimum formation! It was attacked by the centipede ship with a blazing bomb and it was a mess. If you let the other party go around the back of the ass and impact, then there is still salvation?
Shi Tianze gritted his teeth and said, "Quick, rush, no matter what, we can't let them go around behind us!" ”
At this moment, fierce fighting has broken out! It was between the Mongol archers, the Mongol Han infantry and the twenty three-tiered oared warships that were speeding along the river.
The three thousand Mongol archers (that is, cavalry) commanded by King Moge (Meng Ge's younger brother), the thousand Semu people and the two thousand Han troops commanded by Dong Wenwei, a thousand households of the Han army, were just finished in the array. Seeing the warships of the Thunderbolt Navy on the river rushing over, the prince roared loudly, and his sons and daughters used all their strength to pull the horn bow to the fullest, and the bow body was raised at a certain angle, and suddenly a round of arrows rained out.
Although these Mongols were almost standing in the river, they were still sixty paces away from Chen Dexing's fleet, and the range of the horn bow was enough, but at this distance the bow force was not enough to penetrate the infantry armor worn by the armor on the ship, let alone the thick planks.
Gao Da had already descended the watchtower, and commanded from the side of the ship, and he violently unleashed the feathered arrows of the bow with his hand, and turned back to the artillery soldiers who operated the stone machine and the three-bow bed crossbow: "Hair! Fuck it! Fuck it! ”
The Tiger battleship was equipped with a four-plus-three-bow bed crossbow and two hair stones, and at this moment the three-bow bed crossbow was loaded with ordinary giant arrows, and when they heard the tall order, the artillery soldiers immediately hooked the trigger with their axes!
Four huge arrows shot out from the shore in an instant! The Mongol troops on the shore stood densely packed, as if in a land battle, and immediately provoked screams. These long arrows shot into such a dense infantry array!
At the same time, six heavenly thunderbolts were also thrown by two stone generators. Since the Mongol soldiers here have not been thundered, they don't know how to disperse the formation...... Meng Ge had discussed this issue with his subordinates, but discussion was discussion, and implementation was another matter. Because pulling out the formation can certainly reduce the damage of the thunder, but at the same time, it also weakens its own combat effectiveness, so everyone is unwilling to do this before the thunder hits the head.
As a result, six heavenly thunderbolts fell from the sky and smashed into the crowd! As in the case of the Battle of the Yangtze Bridge, the Tartars did not realize that these iron balls falling from the sky would explode immediately, and they were still shooting arrows vigorously! Until a huge roar rang in their ears.
Brother Mo's cousin is also similar to Zhang Hongfan that day, oh, it's even worse! He was also lifted to the ground by the war horse under his crotch. What a Mongolian warrior, poofing a dog gnawing, and falling on the Yangtze River beachhead full of stones, suddenly has a blue nose and swollen face plus a flowering head! But he didn't fall to his death, he just had blood flowing all over his face!
Several of his own soldiers rushed up to help him up, and the warrior Brother Mo didn't care about the wounds on his face and head, and roared angrily and ordered: "Throw the cannon!" Throw the cannon! ”
The more than 100 stone machines arranged on the river beach were all operated by Semu people - in the eyes of the Mongol Great Khan, this weapon was too powerful for the Han people to have, so except for the navy, there were no torsion stone machines in the rest of the Han army. Similarly, the cavalry of the Han army was also strictly restricted, and it was not allowed to build cities on the territory, only the Yidu Li family often went their own way, buying horses and building cities.
And the so-called color eyes are the meaning of all kinds of people - in addition to the Han and Mongols, all kinds of people are enough to become the second class of the Mongol Empire, the color people! Most of the big businessmen who served as civil officials and controlled the commerce of the northern land in the Khan court of Meng Ke were all Semu people. In the Mongol army, there were also a lot of Semu! Moreover, there is no shortage of good craftsmen among the Semu people, and the torsion stone machine they have built is ...... Well, of course, it's all cheating. It's not that their craftsmanship is not good, but the lack of high-quality wood that has been placed for a long time in front of the Sichuan army, and the moisture has been volatilized, and a large number of color craftsmen, Han craftsmen use measuring tools are also varied, and the stone machine made is naturally of any size, and now it is placed in a row, and there is no plane, nor can it be measured, and the wind is measured, and the iron cannons launched are also large and small, and there is no excessive weight, which is hell if it can be hit. And even if a cannon fell on the battleship Tiger, there was not much danger. Because there were already armor soldiers on the deck of the Tiger with buckets of water, and when they saw a cannon falling, they would rush forward to water it......
The Mongol stone machine had just finished projecting the iron cannon, and a three-story oar-block battleship that followed closely behind the Tiger on the river fired a huge arrow and threw a thunderbolt at the sky!
Now Chen Dexing's 20 warships are actually laying out a column facing the enemy on the side of the enemy, just to exert their firepower. The Mongols used dense infantry formations to counter the fleet using gunpowder weapons, and the consequences can be imagined. With five thunderbolts (with one dud) exploding in the crowd, and four huge arrows piercing the chests of seven or eight warriors, the Mongol army arrays lined up by the river were already a little chaotic! The dead and wounded have become one, and the surrounding area of the thunder explosion point is full of sailors lying on the river beach, and the blood and water flow down the river bank into the river, almost dying a large area red!
As soon as he saw his face, he was beaten like this, and the prince of the last brother also had red eyes, and roared loudly and waved his scimitar to drive his sons forward, as if he wanted to get closer, and get closer, until the soldiers in the front row reached the knee-high water.
In his shouting, the bows were pulled apart again, and a dense rain of arrows spilled out! And in response to them were thunderbolts and giant arrows fired by another battleship! (To be continued......)
