Weng Zhiqi was too curious.

Looking at the hundreds of small artillery pieces arranged along the river, Weng Zhiqi didn't know what to say, was this kind of small iron cylinder a sharp weapon for Zhou Huchen to defeat Li Zicheng? Weng Zhiqi couldn't believe it. Originally, Weng Zhiqi had prepared dozens of medium-sized general cannons, but Zhou Huchen actually asked him to stand aside, and Huang Degong acquiesced without saying anything.

Zuo Liangyu's army (the news of Zuo Liangyu's death Huang Degong and Zhou Huchen are not yet known) was down the river and the speed was very fast, so this Tongling operation was equivalent to a two-front battle on land and water. In addition to Huang Degong's need to block the attack on the water, he also had to prevent Zuo Liangyu's army from sweeping over the land.

According to the informant, Zuo Liangyujun's fleet had already passed through Chizhou

In the murmuring of the river, Zhou Huchen used a clairvoyant mirror to see what is called the hidden river.

Now is not the flood season of the Yangtze River, the river surface is a little narrow, but the river surface of this era is not 300 years later, the current Yangtze River is more than three times wider than 300 years later. Zuo Liangyu's army was hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people went down by boat Zhou Huchen felt that these people and ships were too pity, and they were destined to be killed a lot.

Huang Degong dispatched 60,000 soldiers and 20,000 masters, plus a large number of ships, plus Zhou Huchen's 20,000 men and ships, which is about 1 to 10. It's a pity that soldiers and rabble are completely different things, and this comparison makes no sense.

Zhou Huchen knows this history, Zuo Liangyu was beaten by Huang Degong, and now add himself, then abuse Zuo Liangyu together, anyway, most of these soldiers will surrender to Jiannu in the future.

Fighting in the water, in addition to firing a few cannons at a long distance, is a gang-jumping battle. Weng Zhiqi was very unconvinced, he ran in front of Zhou Huchen and prepared to take the lead.

This is a reed area along the bank of the river, and at a glance, there is nothing on the shore of this area except the reeds. Weng Zhiqi's naval warships were relatively backward, and they gathered with Huang Degong and Zhou Huchen's ships, but these cannons were secretly arranged by him in the reeds at the front.

The clairvoyant mirror given by Zhou Huchen made Weng Zhiqi like it too much, and the Zuo Liangyu army warship on the river in the distance could see it clearly, and even the faces and expressions of people could be seen, which was simply the most powerful weapon for observing the enemy.

The boats in the river were too dense, and when Weng Zhiqi, who was hiding in the reeds, gave the order to shell, with a cannon shot, the first solid projectile clearly hit a boat.

Dozens of artillery pieces roared, and round projectiles swooped down on the ships in the river.

The threat of solid shells is actually very limited, as long as it does not hit the side of the ship, the ship will not be threatened with sinking, and as for the projectile hitting people, it depends on your luck. These ships of Zuo Liangyujun's army are varied, including transport ships, warships, clippers, and even building ships. Projectiles hitting the ship's building will scatter the pieces of wood, and this scattered weapon is more damaging than the projectile, because there are so many fragments and people scattered that damage cannot be avoided.

Weng Zhiqi's artillery flaws were also obvious, the reloading speed was too slow, and he didn't sink a few ships, although it caused panic to Zuo Liangyu's rebellious army, but that's all.

Seeing the huge fleet continue to flow down the river, Weng Zhiqi hurriedly urged his gunners: "Hurry, hurry!" There's a lot more to come, keep it up for me! ”

It was still far from the northern defense line, and it seemed that Zuo Liangyu's army would not land on the shore, Weng Zhiqi explained a few words to an officer, and he spread his legs and began to run north along the river bank. Seeing that artillery was of limited use, Weng Zhiqi prepared to rendezvous with his own warship and prepare for the water combat that he was good at.

Zhou Huchen was still far away from Weng Zhiqi's ambush site, but he saw everything that happened in Jiangzhong.

"Get ready! These goals are so good that they are given for nothing! It was Meng Yun beside Zhou Huchen who gave the order.

I have to say that Meng Yun is in urgent need of a real combat command now, he has participated in too much training, and the various tactics instilled by Zhou Huchen in him make him a little eager to test it.

Zhou Huchen didn't speak, he looked at Meng Yun with a smile.

"Oh, in such a situation, is it necessary to shoot in a cover? Or is it a superimposed blocking? It should be superimposed blocking! Meng Yun finally understood what Zhou Huchen meant by looking at him, this was the best way for him to give the best way to shell the battle.

"The ship is constantly moving forward, our artillery only needs to cover one point, the frequency of fire keeps up, the enemy ships will come up on their own, there will not be many ships passing, the only consideration is the river on the west side, our artillery range is a little insufficient."

Zhou Huchen affirmed Meng Yun's tactics, Meng Yun was looking forward to this command operation too much, and he was full of interest: "And Huang Shuai!" There are Huang Shuai and our boat behind, how many of Zuo Liangyu's boats can run over? ”

In fact, don't worry, there are thousands of warships of different sizes waiting for Zuo Liangyu's waste army behind, even without Zhou Huchen's support this time, Huang Degong will also beat Zuo Liangyu's army into slag. Therefore, Zhou Huchen was too relaxed: "Then leave some for Uncle Huang, so that he has something to do, otherwise he will exploit me again!" ”

Raising the clairvoyant mirror, Zhou Huchen saw Weng Zhiqi who was approaching with the fleet in the Zuoliang Yujiang River

There were too many boats in the river, and Zhou Huchen began to pray for these people, because Meng Yun had already drawn his battle knife.

Zhou Huchen's arrangement was different from Weng Zhiqi's, his artillery team was neatly and blatantly arranged on the bank of the river, which was clear at a glance, and behind these small artillery pieces were countless soldiers and ammunition.

Such a large number of artillery, although it did not look big, still made Zuo Liangyu's fleet a little scared. Zhou Huchen clearly saw the panic of these people, but at the same time, he also saw that there were artillery on Zuo Liangyu's ship, although there were not many, but Zhou Huchen did not want to lose his excellent soldiers, so he motioned to Meng Yun: "Adjust." ”

The mortars have been adjusted, both in elevation and in position, but it is too convenient to change the firing position of the mortar, and the soldier should have completed the command in just a few breaths.

"Fire~~"

Meng Yun's war knife fell, and at the same time as the standard-bearer lowered the command flag, the bombardier behind handed over the prepared haode cannonball

The artillery on Zuo Liangyu's warship had no chance, and with a loud bang, the black shadows in the sky rushed into the river. In the roar of the huge artillery fire, Weng Zhiqi stopped, he looked blankly at the strange scene in the air, the cannonballs were dense - there were too many.

There was an explosion again, this sound was earth-shattering, no need to use a clairvoyant, Weng Zhiqi clearly saw the flying planks and fragments, human stumps, and weapons on the front ships of this fleet.

Soon, there was another loud noise, this time not the first time, but it was equally shocking, and countless black shadows rushed into the river again with their own arcs like devils.

This is a devilish attack!

Weng Zhiqi was shocked, his mouth opened wide, wide. It's a completely different experience, Weng Zhiqi is standing by the river like this, and being stunned becomes the only action he can do, as if he is watching an artillery show.

This is Zhou Huchen's artillery, this power and firing frequency completely subvert Weng Zhiqi's perception of artillery, how can such a fast firing frequency be achieved? Could it be that this is the legendary powerful flowering bomb?

The facts were in front of Weng Zhiqi's eyes, and some of the ships at the head of Zuo Liangyu's chaotic army had begun to sink, and at this moment, a loud noise came again, and the third wave of projectiles rose into the sky
