Standing on the newly transported ironclad ship, Shu Han's mood rarely became good, from Huajin City to the present, it took fifteen days, and finally the two ironclad ships were transformed, and transported from Huajin City to the Fuchun River in Zhejiang, at this time walking on the ironclad ship, I have to say that these ironclad ships are still very far behind the modern ones, that is, compared with those battleships during the First World War, they are completely unreliable.

According to Shu Han's idea, these warships can be equipped with at least five large guns, and even have lookouts, as well as flagpoles and other items, but there is nothing on these ironclad ships, that is, even a command place is very small, because this is originally a merchant ship, and the command mouth is very small. At the same time, there are so many batteries installed on the ironclad ship today, so the command room is already under these batteries, so it is not possible to find the position by yourself through the ironclad ship, you must have other ships to guide it, and because of this, in addition to these two ironclad ships, there are also four ironclad merchant ships for navigation and transportation, today's ironclad ship, to put it bluntly, is actually a mobile battery, and there is no ability to walk automatically, and someone needs to navigate them.

But even so, Shu Han's heart is already very satisfied, after all, in this era, most of the sailors still use wooden boats, these ironclad ships are enough to become epoch-making products, Shu Han after inspection, is very satisfied with its fire equipment, at the mouth of the Fuchun River leading to the Yangtze River, there are a large number of pillboxes and turrets built by the Holy Alliance, Shu Han's army will start shooting as soon as they appear in their field of vision, and they will not give Shu Han a chance to build fortifications at all, and now with these two warships, The power of the four main guns is enough to blow up a large number of military facilities on both sides of the strait, and then send troops to remove the iron cables on both sides of the river, so that their own naval army can crisscross the Yangtze River, which will play a huge role in recapturing the Yangtze River defense line in the future.

After Shu Han returned to the bazaar, he immediately gathered the army and started fighting, because the eyesight of the two cannons has a big problem, so it is obviously impossible to act at night, only during the day, can the accuracy of the cannon's shooting be guaranteed, so without further ado, the battle plan Shu Han has already planned before, plus the two warships were transported over, the chance of being discovered by the enemy is very large, after all, the other party has a hot air balloon, so it is necessary to take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not discovered this, and carry out the operation as soon as possible, It is important to take the enemy's line by surprise.

After Shu Han returned to the bazaar, the war officially began, Shu Han led 50,000 horses on this side and began to move forward, as a feint force, attracting the attention of the south bank of the Yangtze River, so that they could not be distracted to take care of other aspects, while on the other side, the sailors of the Black Iron City were led by six ironclad ships, heading towards the mouth of the river, two warships, and a hundred and fifteen mm cannon across the era, which was enough to wipe out all the enemies, and the soldiers of the Holy Alliance looked at the behemoth on the river bank in the distance, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, But before they could react, the four main guns fired a salvo at the enemy's pillbox.

These cannons are equipped with aiming facilities according to Shu Han's suggestion, and because of the improvement of lathe technology, the rifling inside the cannon has a quality leap compared with before, so the shooting accuracy within one kilometer has reached a very high level, four shells, so that the enemy's three pillboxes were directly shattered, seeing this scene, the sailors of the Black Iron City couldn't help cheering, and the soldiers of the Holy Alliance still didn't understand what was happening, they had been blown up by the cannonballs to the west sky, and the rest of the people saw this scene, and hurriedly lit the wolf smoke, At the same time, call the defenders in other places, and ask them to defend immediately, as well as the most critical naval army, otherwise with their current vitality, it will definitely not be stopped.

The cannons of the Black Iron City are not only powerful, but also have a farther range than the artillery in these bunkers, because at this time, the main direction of the Holy Alliance's battle is Guangyuan Kingdom, so all the heavy artillery has been transported to the front line of Guangyuan Kingdom, and now the artillery placed on both sides of the Yangtze River is relatively limited in power, the reason for this arrangement is not that Qiao Xuan despises Black Iron City, but according to his judgment, it is impossible for Black Iron City to transport heavy artillery to the control of the Holy Alliance, after all, the mountain road in Asakusa City is so winding, If he wants to transport heavy artillery, it will take at least two or three months to level the land to be able to bear the weight of the heavy artillery, and as for ordinary ships, it is impossible for them to have a place to accommodate these guns, so he will arrange them like this.

But he didn't expect Shu Han to find another way, and directly installed the scientific and technological crystallization of these Black Iron Cities on the ironclad ships, so that naturally they could not be compared with the Black Iron City in terms of firepower, and another unit led by Zhang Ruoming immediately led two thousand people in their hands to charge towards the enemy's position after hearing the sound of artillery, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, with the cooperation of the river artillery, it was very quickly captured the enemy's defensive position, and then immediately began to dismantle the iron cable on the river bank, so that the navy of Black Iron City can pass.

At this time, the Holy Alliance's naval army is still unprepared, after all, in the past ten days, almost all the wars are on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the naval army of the Black Iron City seems to have disappeared, and there is no intention to escape from the control of the iron cable, at the beginning, the naval army of the Holy Alliance is still vigilant for a point or two, but now it is already very slack, in their opinion, it is absolutely impossible for the Black Iron City to break through the blockade of the iron cable, in this case, why should they prepare for war? Under this mode of thinking, there is a ghost only if you are not slacking off.

At this time, receiving the emergency support order from the front, the officers understood that things might have changed, but the soldiers were still good, in their opinion, with the more than 100 broken ships in Black Iron City, it was impossible to break through the defense line, and even if they broke through, how could they be compared with the sailors of the Holy Alliance, as long as they waited for their sailors, they would inevitably make the enemy's sailors obediently return to the tributaries again, and they would never dare to probe again.

Therefore, even if the officers are very nervous, the soldiers still have no nervous atmosphere, this is not that the Holy Alliance is undisciplined, but they do not think that the raid on Black Iron City is a threat, of course, there is a deeper reason, that is, in the Holy Alliance, everyone depends on your birth, the city-state from which you come is different, and the treatment in the country is naturally different, and the same is true among the naval army, the officers are all from the Blue Pigeon City or other cities that first took refuge, and those soldiers, It is from the lower city-states.

In the Holy Alliance, the promotion and transfer of officials are not the same as those of the Black Iron City, in the Black Iron City, no matter which city-state you come from, as long as you have talent, you can go up, this is because the gap between the Black Iron City and the Foothill City and the Pi City is not large, if the oppression is too strong, it will be easy for the enemy to resist, and the Holy Alliance is an overwhelming force from the beginning, so the gap between this level can be described as very large.

If you come from a strong city-state such as Blue Pigeon City, then after you enter any job, it is very easy to be promoted, and if you are from a weak city-state, then no matter how hard you work, it is useless, and even if you are from a low-level city-state, then it is even more miserable, even if you charge into battle as a soldier, you must be the first in every battle, and in the end you are still a small soldier, and there is no possibility of becoming an officer, it is precisely because of this that the enthusiasm of the soldiers is different from that of the Black Iron City, At this time, they were beaten by the officers, and they only felt that this was the right thing, because in the Holy Alliance, it was common for officers to beat soldiers, and when they didn't fight, it was strange.

Under this combat mentality, their assembly speed was very slow, and by the time they officially left the port, the iron cables at the mouth of the river had been completely dismantled by Zhang Ruoming and his people, and the two warships had sailed into the wide surface of the Yangtze River under the protection and guidance of four merchant ships, followed by the hundred wooden ships, following these ironclad ships like small shrimp.

When the entire fleet of Black Iron City left the Fuchun River and began to advance towards the combat area in a fighting posture, the naval forces of the Holy Alliance were late at this time, and at this time they were facing the six iron-armored monsters of Black Iron City, the tonnage of these two warships in Black Iron City was about two thousand four hundred tons, compared to the weight of these wooden ships of up to four hundred tons, they were simply behemoths, and the people of the Holy Alliance looked at those Iron Kings in the distance, and they were a little shocked for a while, and Black Iron City obviously would not give them extra time, and immediately began to bombard the enemy's Yangtze River naval forces with heavy artillery.

Because of the long range of the artillery, the enemy could not return fire at this time, only by the Black Iron City artillery, and the two 115 mm guns and four 90 mm guns on these two warships are different from those 35 mm guns, as long as they hit, they are basically either dead or disabled, especially these wooden ships, it is impossible to resist.

Of course, on the side of Black Iron City, even if the power of the warship is great, there are only two, and there are only twelve artillery pieces that can attack the enemy at such a long distance, the number is not much, and the aiming ability of this era is limited after all, with the sight and excellent industrial production level, it is still possible to hit fixed targets on land, but the speed of the ships at sea is still very fast, so the probability of hitting is not high, and only about one-third can really be sunk, and the physical damage is not high. But the point is this psychological sense of oppression.

The enemy is close at hand, their own artillery can not hit the other party, and the opponent's artillery is pouring down in their own army like rain, and at the same time, such a behemoth, as the distance gets closer and closer, these behemoths gradually need to look up from level to up, this visual shock, enough to make people's legs tremble.

This gives Black Iron City more opportunities, so that the cannons can be fired unscrupulously, but the Holy Alliance has a strong army after all, if it is an ordinary army, in this situation, the front ships will gradually collapse under the threat of Black Iron City, and then begin to flee backwards, and finally the ships in front and the ships in the rear collide, causing the entire fleet to be completely chaotic.

But the fleet of the Holy Alliance is obviously not so easy to deal with, at the beginning they were indeed frightened by this sudden attack of the Black Iron City, and the appearance of the ironclad ship did make them afraid, but soon, the officers and the captains of the various warships understood that this fear could not solve the problem, what they needed to do now was to solve the problem, so under the order of the fleet commander, the warships of the Holy Alliance began to quickly approach the warships of the Black Iron City, since only you can hit me in the distance, and I can't hit you, Then it's time to get closer to you.

At the same time, they arranged for some ships to capsize, these ships are not large in tonnage, but the speed is very fast, obviously they also see the problem of these ironclad ships in Black Iron City, that is, they move very slowly, and need four other ships to assist, so they arrange these shippers to quickly approach these ships, break their cooperation with each other, and harass the enemy with the small guns on it, so that the enemy's ironclad ships are useless.

Come up with such a method in a short period of time, I have to say that the Holy Alliance's naval army is still very capable, but obviously the Black Iron City has already made complete preparations, and now in terms of the naval army, the Black Iron City is unintentional to fight the Holy Alliance, maybe the Holy Alliance's move at the moment is a stroke of genius, but after all, it is just a temporary solution, because before that, they didn't know that Black Iron City had these ironclad ships, and the power of these ironclad ships was so strong, so no matter how high the military literacy was, When judging against unpredictable weapons, there will still be loopholes in the end.

And the Black Iron City, itself knows how powerful its weapons are, according to the plans formulated by these weapons, naturally includes a large number of accidents and solutions, unlike the Holy Alliance needs to rely on temporary ideas, Black Iron City has long been recorded, after seeing the enemy's ships approaching quickly, the two ironclad ships opened fire while four ships operated, aiming the sides at the enemy's array, ready to use the twelve guns on both sides to shoot at the enemy, On the other hand, the enemy was stopped by small boats in the rear in order to buy time for the big ships.

In terms of wooden ships, the number of Black Iron City is indeed far inferior, but a hundred ships are enough to line up on a wide long sword to block the enemy's attack route, in order to buy time for the ironclad ships in the rear, obviously, this plan of Black Iron City is tailored for the ironclad ships, these two warships are the core, naturally they will not be destroyed by others, and even if the people of the Holy Alliance notice this, there is no way.
