And Han Xin on the side, after listening to Gan Ning's introduction, was already stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He never thought that these Neo-Carthaginians would have such a powerful navy, and in this case, the rebel army would be in danger. Although he had already been a deserter, he had served there for a long time, so he was still worried about the rebels who were still confronting the enemy in front of Hanya Pass.

Next, Gan Ning told Shi Jinshui an even bigger good news, that is, because Rowan's war in India had entered the final stage, when the countertop fleet passed through India for replenishment, he specially sent 100,000 soldiers to come with the fleet to support the war here. In addition to these 100,000 soldiers, Rowan also sent a full hundred war elephants from India, these Asian elephants were originally native beasts, so there is no need to worry about not being able to adapt to the climate, so Shi Jinshui can form a powerful armored war elephant army on the spot. Finally, coupled with the 20,000 elite marines originally brought by the fleet, the strength of this fleet that can land and fight can be said to be extremely powerful.

After discovering that these neo-Carthaginians were so well prepared, Han Xin was completely desperate for the future of the rebel army, and he had really fought with the other party, knowing that with such a huge fleet and hundreds of thousands of elite troops participating in the battle, the balance of forces between the rebel army and the enemy would be completely broken, not to mention that the other party was obviously planning to attack from front to back this time. Without knowing the enemy's plans, the rebels suffered a big loss at the beginning.

However, no matter how many thoughts and worries Han Xin has, now that he has been forcibly incorporated into his cooking team by Shi Jinshui, he will not be able to put it into practice, so he can only honestly learn to cook with those chefs in the kitchen every day.

In Shi Jinshui's private kitchen, his status has finally improved, because Shi Jinshui mistakenly thought that he was a talent with a bit of cooking skills, so he didn't let him go to the fire again, but started directly from the small chopping of vegetables.

It's a pity that in terms of cooking, Han Xin really has no talent at all, after cutting his finger for the Nth time, Han Xin was so angry that he threw the kitchen knife in his hand and shouted: "I don't want to be a cook!" I, Han Xin, am obviously a general, why should I waste my life in this damn kitchen every day! ”

"Boy! Don't be too ambitious! I still want to be a general, and I still think I'm a king! But that's just an illusion when we feel good about ourselves, if we don't want to be locked up in a small dark room by the head chef, let's learn to cook obediently! Seeing this, another small worker who was cutting vegetables with him sneered.

At this time, the rebel army, as Han Xin guessed, did not know the enemy's conspiracy, and after discovering that the enemy army had an airship unit flying to their rear and disappeared, those rebel troops only mobilized second-rate garrisons from the rear to search along the flight paths of those airships, hoping to capture these enemy airships that may have fallen down, and then crack their secrets, so that the rebels can also have their own air force.

It's a pity that these people don't know that what they are about to find is not a dozen airships, but a huge enemy fleet consisting of a three-hundred-meter-long super giant ship, plus five True Dragon-class battleships, twenty Dragon-class battleships, and fifty Dragon-class battleships.

"Damn! What is that mountain-sized thing? Don't tell me it's a boat! ”

"OMG! I just saw a big bird-like flying machine fly up from that battleship! That thing flies much faster than the enemy's airships! Could it be the Mo family's flying trap beast? ”

When the more than 50,000 rebel soldiers ran into this fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Fortunately, the commander of this army was not a fool, and after seeing the swarthy gun barrels on the huge ships opposite, he immediately withdrew with his army ten miles away.

"Haha! I'm really witty! We've hid so far away, no matter how powerful those cannons are, they won't be able to hit us! "The rebel general Zhou Kang couldn't help but feel secretly proud after retreating his troops ten miles away, they had already learned from the people of the Western Regions who had fought with the Neo-Carthaginians that although those artillery were powerful, they could only fight five or six miles at most, and they should be completely safe from these ten miles away.

If he was facing the new Carthaginian army that was still using the old artillery, the rebel general's approach could be said to be correct, but unfortunately he was unlucky to encounter the new Carthaginian naval force that was already equipped with the new artillery. In this unit, the new naval guns on those battleships above the Qiulong-class battleships can all hit ten miles away. Among them, such as the flagship Super Water God that Shi Jinshui was riding, the range of its naval guns reached a terrifying fifteen miles away.

Under the guidance of the air force, the entire fleet quickly locked on to the position where the enemy had stopped camping, and then turned the hull of the ship one after another, aiming its own side at the shore so that it could pour its own firepower to the maximum. Among them, Shi Jinshui's flagship Super Water God, in addition to the guns installed on the side chords, the two turrets at the bow and stern of the ship were also operated by dozens of naval soldiers, slowly turning, aiming their gun barrels at the direction of the enemy troops on the shore.

Shi Jinshui looked at the extremely slow rotation speed of the two turrets on the side, and finally understood why Gan Ning would say that this was a completely failed design, such a slow rotation speed was useless at all except for hitting those stationary targets! If it is in the modern era of advanced science and technology, there is no problem to make the armor of the turret thicker, because human beings can rely on the power of machinery to make it rotate quickly, but now it is still in ancient times when the steam engine was not invented! After adding such a thick layer of steel plates to the turret, it completely turned it into a frightening iron lump!

Under Shi Jinshui's pained gaze, the guns on these turrets had already fired one after another. Because the recoil of these heavy guns is too great, in order to keep the battleship stable, all the guns on the ship are arranged to fire in order, otherwise, the accuracy of the shooting will be greatly reduced due to the turbulence of the hull.

Because of this, for a while, all they heard in Shi Jinshui's ears was the sound of thumping shells. The sound lasted for more than a minute before it finally stopped. And in just over a minute, the entire fleet poured hundreds of shells at the enemy camp. These shells are not the old-fashioned solid iron shells of the past, but high-explosive shells that explode.

In the end, according to the observation of the Air Force, almost half of the artillery fire in this shelling accurately hit the camp, and as for the specific lethality, it was because the smoke and dust raised after the shelling were too large to be observed for the time being.

Shi Jinshui, who didn't want to waste any more time, didn't wait for the smoke and dust to completely dissipate, so he immediately sent 10,000 marines and the 100 armored war elephants ashore to land and kill the camp. In his opinion, with the support of his own powerful fleet guns, even if the enemy is able to push his forces back, he can continue to bombard the opponent with naval artillery until the opponent's forces are exhausted. Even if you feint and lure those enemies closer to a closer place, the naval guns on the Jiaolong-class battleships with the largest number of your fleet can also join the battle, and when the time comes, thousands of shells will hit you at once, even if it is the previous solid iron bullets, you can beat the enemy to the head.

However, when the Marines arrived at the camp that the enemy had hastily built, they were disappointed to find that although the shelling had only killed a few thousand of the enemy, the enemy had fled because of their timidity, and the remaining ones had all escaped, and there were only corpses left in the camp at this time and the baggage and supplies that were too late to take away.

"Damn! It's really a bunch of cowardly guys who ran away directly! Let the war elephant troops chase me, and the war elephant can be regarded as a four-legged one! A four-legged one should run a little faster than a two-legged one! With the guidance of the Air Force, I don't believe these guys can still run away! ”

Under Shi Jinshui's order, the marines and the war elephants immediately launched a pursuit of the fleeing enemy troops.

But what he didn't know was that the enemy didn't run away because he was too timid, but because the lethal effect caused by those high-explosive bombs was so terrifying that when you saw with your own eyes that your originally good comrades were shocked and bled in the sudden explosion shockwave, and even broke their hands and feet, I am afraid that few people can still maintain their original composure. After all, in this era of cold weapons, the worst death was nothing more than being shot into a hedgehog by a rain of arrows or hacked to death by a random knife. In the face of these understandable forces, the rebel soldiers can still bear it, but in the face of the terrifying power produced by high-explosive bombs that is beyond common sense and completely irresistible by manpower, these rebel soldiers are completely confused. What choice could they have but to escape!

To Shi Jinshui's disappointment, his own war elephant troops only caught a few hundred fleeing enemy soldiers in the end, the war elephant is too unsuitable for chasing and defeating the army, in terms of speed, the four-legged one may be a little faster than a human, but its too large size makes its patience simply unable to compare with a war horse, and even a human is far inferior. So this chase battle was almost reduced to a joke in the end. At the same time, Shi Jinshui may also be the first general in history who is extravagant enough to use armored war elephants to pursue the defeated army.
