Chapter 813 Gongsun Du admits defeat

Under the blue water and long sky, dozens of fire meteors suddenly appeared!

It wasn't a dream, it wasn't any special spell, it was just that when the bolts were ejected, the length of a man and the thickness of the cups, grazed against the brazier in front of the bed, and the fire-igniting thing attached to the bolts was ignited.

Under the gaze of thousands of gazes, these crossbow bolts shone brightly, carrying a wisp of black smoke, like an impermanent rod that jumped out of hell to claim their lives, flying far or near.

Even for the Qingzhou Sailors, there are many people who have seen this new weapon for the first time, and the sailors are basically among them. All they knew was what was in the hold before sailing, but they didn't know what it was, and for most people, the cabin was off-limits.

Although they had more or less heard some information from the soldiers before the battle, when they saw that the crossbowmen had launched an attack at a distance of about a thousand paces, they still couldn't believe it, there really was such an evil weapon?

With anticipation and amazement, they watched the seventy-two fire meteors fly away like lightning, but they were still not very sure in their hearts, wondering if the crossbow bolts could really hit the target.

Compared with the relaxed mentality of the Qingzhou sailors who opened the cup and watched the play, Yang Yi and his subordinates were very nervous.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that the bed crossbow had this kind of power, but the moment the bed crossbow came out of the string, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

It's so fast!

It's too fierce!

If it weren't for the smoke and fire on the crossbow bolt being too conspicuous, Yang Yi doubted whether he would be able to see the trajectory of the crossbow bolt clearly. Such momentum may really be possible......

Yang Yi put away her contempt, and her face was a little hot, after all, she was a veteran of the battlefield, but she would not be affected by such emotions. It's just that he couldn't think of any other way for a while, and in the end he could only remind loudly to get the sailors ready to put out the fire.

Obviously, the people of Qingzhou also knew that crossbow bolts were not enough to destroy the ship, so they added a layer of insurance and used fire attack. This idea is correct, but he Yangyi is not a vegetarian, so he has long been on guard.

What's even more fortunate is that although the power of the bed crossbow is great, the accuracy is still not good after all, especially in the extreme distance, the results are indeed unsatisfactory.

Sure enough, the first crossbow bolt to arrive flew from above, leaving a large hole in the canvas, and the other fell into the sea fifteen or six meters in front of the ship's side.

The sailors, who had been waiting on deck for a long time to extinguish the fire, immediately poured the wet sand from the bucket onto the canvas. The edge of the hole was already on fire, but before the battle began, the canvas was poured with seawater, and it was all soaked, and the fire had not had time to spread.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and there was no damage to the canvas except for an extra hole.

Although the crossbowmen in Qingzhou were well-trained, it was the first time they had fought at sea, and the command was transmitted quickly and slowly, so the salvo was also divided into sequences. The fastest crossbowman is actually not an inaccurate head, there is the influence of the waves, coupled with the distance factor, to be able to hit this accuracy, it is already quite good, in the future generations, this is the so-called near miss.

Of course, the Liaodong Army didn't think so, and they let out a burst of suppressed cheers.

So suppression, of course, is because the opponent's weapon is beyond imagination, and it can really cross a distance of a thousand steps and exert lethality. Because of this, after seeing the initial results, everyone was extremely lucky, fortunately, they didn't rush too close, otherwise as long as an arrow hit the right and landed on the deck, or even the rudder and other critical positions, it would not sweep a large area at once?

At this moment, it is almost the end of the crossbow, and unless one of the unlucky eggs happens to be hit, there shouldn't be much damage.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will be a few holes in the sails, the side of the ship, and even the deck.

Fortunately, everyone turned their eyes to the flagship, and the people on the flagship looked at Yang Yi, who stood proudly on the bow of the ship, hoping that he would change his mind and not continue to attack. Because they were so anxious, they all forgot that the first two arrows were just the mistakes of the Qingzhou crossbowmen, and there were a full seventy fire meteors advancing in unison!

"Boom!" As the hull swayed, there was a cracking sound, and it was clear that a crossbow had hit the side of the ship.

"Poof!" More crossbows are piercing the sails, and who makes the sails the biggest target on the hull.

"Poof!" Many of them also fell directly into the sea, making a silvery white and shiny splash.

Coupled with the screams from time to time, and the continuous exclamations and shouts, the first large-scale salvo after the bed crossbow came to an end, at least the Liaodong Army thought so.

Although it was not fatally wounded, the Liaodong fleet was in shambles.

An arrow in the sail of the ship will definitely catch fire, and if you don't put out the fire as soon as possible, just wait for the whole ship to become a torch.

The casualties are not small, the crossbow bolt with a thick cup mouth is smashed over, and it still has the power to penetrate the wood, and it will definitely be fatal if it is hit head-on, and it is equally uncomfortable to be rubbed and touched.

Coupled with those who fell in order to avoid danger, or collided with their companions, or even fell into the sea, victims abound, including the main general Yang Yi.

The bed crossbow has a limited target, but there is only one of them, whether it is crooked or not, it is just going straight to the bow of the ship anyway. Finally, Yang Yi was agile, and he kept staring at the opposite side, his attention was highly concentrated, and a lazy donkey rolled in his busy schedule, and finally escaped this catastrophe.

The bolt failed to save his life, and rushed straight into the cabin, where a rejuvenated sailor rushed into the bucket to put out the fire.

“…… Can't fight anymore! It was Liu Yi who broke the silence, he reiterated his point of view again, this time no one refuted loudly, not even Yang Yi, who had the most firm attitude, did not say anything, but sat on the deck a little embarrassed, his face changing.

It seemed that a long time had passed, but in fact, it was only a few breaths, and Yang Yi finally spoke slowly, and his voice was dry: "Such crossbow arrows, they won't have too many crossbow arrows in their hands, so ......"

The arrow of the bed crossbow is a short spear of good workmanship. In the era of low productivity, this kind of consumable is not available to everyone, and everyone is willing to use it. Besides, the loading capacity of the ships is limited, in addition to people and food, Qingzhou's sea ships also have to carry so many bulky bed crossbows, Yang Yi believes that it is impossible for the Qingzhou army to use this weapon without restrictions.

As soon as Yang Yi spoke, Liu Yi knew that this guy would not hit the south wall and would not look back. But this time, he won't let the other party get his wish, the arrogance of those generals who supported Yang Yi was beaten down by the bed crossbow, and Liu Yi didn't feel that he still couldn't suppress this madman.

Just as he was about to break Yang Yi's luck psychology with a loud voice, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom!"

First, there was a roar, like the beginning of spring thunder, followed by a shaking that was much more violent than a crossbow bolt entering the wood. Even a veteran like Liu Yi, who has been drifting on the sea all the year round and is accustomed to seeing wind and waves, was caught off guard, he was unstable and almost fell on the deck.

After barely stabilizing his figure, he realized that these muffled sounds seemed to come from under his feet, Liu Yi was quite puzzled, it was obviously water under his feet, no matter how magical the Qingzhou Army was, it would never come up with any weapons to attack from underwater, right?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not right, it was not the water under his feet, but the boat, and if there was anything on the boat that should not be there, wouldn't it be only ......

"Demon law! The Qingzhou army is a demon law! Before Liu Yi could figure out what to do, a terrible scream suddenly came from the cabin, Liu Yi and the others were shocked, followed the sound, and saw that the sailor who had just rushed into the cabin and tried to put out the fire escaped at a speed several times faster than entering the cabin, shouting demon magic in his mouth, and his expression was like seeing a ghost.

Liu Yi walked up to the sailor in an arrow step, grabbed his shoulder, and asked sharply: "What kind of demon method, you can make it clear!" ”

"The arrow...... Not only will the arrow burst into flames, but it will burst open! The sailor was out of breath, and his words were incoherent: "When it explodes, it's a big fire, and there are ...... everywhere."

Just when everyone was full of suspicion and suspicion, he suddenly seemed to have discovered something, raised his hand and pointed to another ship not far away, and shouted: "That's it! Look, isn't there a fire there? On the side of the ship! ”

Liu Yi turned his head sharply, and the sight of the scene not only relieved the doubts in his heart, but also brought him new doubts and fears.

The ship had been hit by a crossbow bolt on the side of the ship, just a few inches above the waterline. At this moment, with the middle arrow as the center, the fire was raging, rapidly spreading in all directions, spreading......

Liu Yi knew that the ship was finished.

No more than the sails and decks of the ship, the fire in that position could not be extinguished, the sea sand could not be covered, and the water could not be splashed. When the fire spreads below the waterline, it will come into contact with the seawater, but as long as there is a hole in the plank, it is not important whether there is a fire or not.

Thinking about this, he only felt a shudder.

Obviously, the killer weapon of Qingzhou does not exist alone, and there are other mechanisms on the crossbow bolt, unless it falls into the sea, it will explode and burn after hitting the target for a few breaths.

The sailors who fought the fire once rushed close to the crossbow bolts and were able to escape unharmed, indicating that the power of the explosion was limited. In land warfare, this design may be terrifying, but in naval warfare, this weapon is quite deadly, and Liu Yi can't think of how to resist it at all.

Of course, now is not a question of how to take precautions, but how to deal with the aftermath!

This battle was lost, and if the Qingzhou army was willing, they could even launch a pursuit and wipe out half of the Liaodong Naval Division here. Thinking of this, Liu Yi looked up as if he was awake, and found that the Qingzhou fleet was still in place, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about how to negotiate next and end this one-sided naval battle, when a crazy shout suddenly came from his ears.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The more mechanisms on that arrow, the fewer arrows there are in Qingzhou, and we have more people, so we only lost ten boats, what's so terrible? Rush up, kill them, those bed crossbows are ours, rush! "It's Yang Yi, if he just had an obsession before, at this moment, he has gone completely crazy.

"Brother Fali, you ......"

"Don't come here!" Although Yang Yi looked like he was crazy, he was still extremely vigilant against Liu Yi, and as soon as the latter approached, he immediately turned around and drew his knife, and scolded angrily: "Liu Ziqiang, you traitor! You go to Qingzhou at least twice a year, how can you not know anything? You've already taken refuge in Qingzhou, haven't you? That's right, it must be, if it weren't for you, how could we lose? Are you worthy of your lord by doing this? Hey...... Lord, I see Lord, how can I see Lord? ”

Liu Yi shook his head, Xindao Yangyi was really crazy, so he wanted to order someone to take him down, and take care of him first.

Who thought that the order would be issued, but no one responded at all, Liu Yi looked left and right, and found that everyone was looking east with Yang Yi's straight eyes. He also subconsciously looked over, and as a result, he also saw Gongsun Du, to be precise, it was a fast boat flying the flags of Liaodong Hou and Pingzhou Mujiang!

Liu Yi was inexplicably surprised.

The lord is here?

At this time?

There is only one ship, which obviously will not come to reinforce the operation. And from the analysis of time, the lord caught up, and it was only one day at most before the sailor went west.

What is his purpose? Is it to recover the fleet, or did he hear the news of the great victory in Liaoxi and wanted to ...... Throwing in the towel?
