Zhu Chengxiu felt that he was only afraid that he was going to hang up today......

Hundreds of meters away, five heavy guns were bombarding his commuter wreck. Although the shells never hit, the little wrecked ship kept repeatedly tossing in the water column, causing his artillery hit rate to be greatly reduced. What's even worse is that the opponent's artillery hits the buildings on the shore from time to time. Warehouses, docks, trestles were badly damaged and even caused fires.

"Captain, our rudder is stuck in debris, and the hull can't move." The sailors who were in charge of the ship hurried to report. Only then did Zhu Chengxiu realize that as the boiler pressure increased, his ship could move slowly, but the bow was yawing. The sailor pulled Zhu Chengxiu and said, "Captain, let's abandon ship." If we continue to fight like this, we will surely die. ”

The Naval Code of Conduct stipulates that ship may be abandoned if necessary. With the production capacity of the shipyards of the 'revolutionary army', it is more important to keep an experienced crew than to keep the ship. But Zhu Chengxiu shook his head with a sad face and said: "This is the first battle of my navy, and I am not only the captain, but also the commander-in-chief of the navy." If I abandon ship and run away, I will have no shame to face my hometown fathers. If you want to go, you go, I can't go. ”

Zhu Chengxiu calculated very clearly in his heart, if he died in battle, Zhou Qingfeng would definitely give preferential treatment to the Zhu family as an official gentry. But if he abandoned the ship and fled, his entire family was afraid that he would have to bear Zhou Qingfeng's anger. The gains and losses forced him to stick to his post - if he ran away in the first battle, his hard-won position would be nullified.

A vote of naval officers knows so much about the inside story, and they only think that the boss of their own family would rather die and live with the ship. The dignified commander-in-chief of the navy was not afraid of death, and the officers and men below were also deeply excited, and they all expressed that they would fight the captain to the death.

And on the opposite side......

The morale of the arson ship collapsed and even fled, giving Li Guan a blow to the head. He brought more than seventy ships, and the sunken ships sank more than a dozen to block the channel, and now he has lost more than thirty arsonists. In this way, there are only about twenty warships that can still fight in his hands, and the five tortoiseshell ships that can really fight are the ones that can fight.

There are also many small cannons on both sides of the tortoiseshell ship, but the power and range are very weak, and the only powerful thing it is the large-caliber bronze heavy cannon at the bow of the turtle. Now the five heavy guns were aimed at the small boat in front of them, and under the continuous firing - the small broken ship did not hit, but it hit a large number of buildings on the shore. Even hit a five-hundred-ton steam carrier.

If he can continue to fight, Li Guan feels that his trip is not in vain. But just as he wanted to give full play to his heavy artillery advantage to completely destroy this port wharf, an artillery company of the Guards had already maneuvered to the direction of the port. Six 150-mm short-barreled heavy guns are arranging shelling positions.

After the Battle of Zhenjiang, Zhou Qingfeng revised the artillery drill code, stipulating that in an emergency, it was no longer necessary to use manpower to build a strong artillery position, but to directly use the propellant pack to blow up a large pit in the ground, so that the artillery column hoe fell into the pit to resist recoil - in the face of more than 20 enemy ships sailing into the narrow river and unable to maneuver, independent artillery was the first to test this tactic.

There was a rumbling explosion on the bank of the river, which forced Li Guan to turn his head to observe. As far as he could see, he could see several artillery pieces about 400 meters away. He secretly said in his heart that it was bad, but he could only watch as these enemy artillery positions were arranged.

The position, which originally took more than ten minutes to build, can be completed in just a few minutes. The six guns that had completed their preparations were immediately aimed at the tortoiseshell boats, which were still paddle along the river.

Fire......

The roaring shelling sounded one after another, and the whistling shells hit the side of the tortoiseshell ship one after another in a minute or two. Compared to naval guns, which are constantly rising and falling on the water and causing displacement every time they are fired, artillery on land is much simpler in terms of aiming. With the same shelling of a few hundred meters, there is no reason why it cannot be hit.

Even if there were iron plates on the side of the ship, the little defense of the tortoiseshell ship still could not withstand the power of the shelling. The most important feature of body-barreled weapons is that the explosion that originally released energy in all directions is limited to pushing the projectile in one direction. This kind of concentration and dispersion, the power of the explosion is increased by hundreds and thousands of times, and the power of a single cannonball can easily surpass the top spells.

One of the tortoiseshell boats closest to the shore was immediately hit, and the hull, which was able to defend against bows and shotguns, was torn through the large-caliber shells. After the hole, the planks flew, and the sailors inside the ship were killed and injured and screamed incessantly - the tortoiseshell boat was driven by oars, and the sailors on one side were killed and injured in large numbers, which immediately caused the hull to be unbalanced and then deflected.

And more than ten seconds later, six more powerful shells poured in, and the hole on one side was enlarged again. Nearly twenty feet of the ship's side opened several large skylights, and you could see the sailors who kept jumping out of the hull to escape, and its muddled cabin. With just two rounds of accurate shelling, it was easy to get a warship that once roamed the sea.

This is a big ship built by the DPRK with the strength of the whole country, and there are only a few in total. At that time, it was this kind of ship that was able to withstand the attack of the Dongying Navy Division and pull Korea back from the brink of annihilation. Now it collapsed under the attack of new artillery, and was as fragile as a small sampan.

The tortoiseshell boat, which had been badly damaged, began to enter the water and capsized, and the hull sank and ran aground in the river in a crooked manner. The remaining four tortoiseshell ships immediately felt the threat of annihilation, and Li Guan, as the commander, knew that he was about to lose this dangerous battle - it was over, and there was no way to save it!

Li Wan suddenly burst out laughing, he knew that he only had one last chance left to die with the enemy. He let go of his control over his body with a sad laugh, allowing a powerful consciousness in his soul to awaken again.

The artillery company on the shore of the harbor was still carrying out a vigorous shelling, and the tortoiseshell ships on the river for hundreds of meters were too large to be like a dead target, and it was too easy to fight. But when the second tortoiseshell boat began to catch fire and smoke, a heart-pounding roar came out of it—the waters of the Datong River tumbled and spiraled upwards to form the size of a giant.

On the hot battlefield, everyone was attracted by this roar. Even Zhou Qingfeng, who was lying on the head of Pyongyang to watch the battle, had to pay attention. The officials of North Korea and Shandong, who had originally listened to his political lectures, also held on to the battlements and looked down at the entire battlefield. It's a rare life experience.

When the tortoiseshell boat first appeared, the officials and gentry from Shandong were all amazed, and they could not imagine that such a terrible ship could be built in this Korean land. When more than 30 arson boats were rowing rapidly, there were even people who knew a little more about it whispering about the power of this arson tactic.

Looking across the river, the 'revolutionary army' side did not seem to have any resistance at all. The newly built docks and warehouses are all under the threat of the enemy. Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany, who had just been at odds with Zhou Qingfeng, said angrily: "I just said, this 'revolutionary army' is belligerent and will die, what good can it do if it hits North Korea?" ”

North Korean officials who voted to surrender were both proud and afraid. is proud of being able to straighten his waist in the face of Zhou Qingfeng, indicating that his side is not completely weak and bulliable. What I am afraid of is that this 'revolutionary army' can withdraw if it is defeated, and where can those who have already taken refuge with?

But in the blink of an eye, the originally murderous arson boat encountered a commuter boat that couldn't move. People on commuter boats even have to go ashore to find some large sticks to turn the bow of the boat around. But it was such a ship, one gun, that knocked away more than 30 arsonist ships.

Seeing the commuter ship smashing the North Korean arson ship one by one, as if by name, the Shandong officials were stunned at first, but soon they all slapped Zhou Qingfeng with a smile - the army of the marshal is really mighty, and the approach of the enemy is as immovable as Mount Tai. This backhand blow wiped out the canopy!

Awesome, really awesome!

There was a flood of flattering words, and Zhu Youshu was very embarrassed when he stood in it. The Shandong officials around him took a few steps away, and no one dared to stand with him. However, Zhou Qingfeng didn't care about the praise around him, turned his head to look at Zhu Youshu, and said 'um' in a long tone.

Zhu Youshu's face turned red, and he said for a long time: "Didn't you say that there are no taboos today, and you can say anything?" ”

So Zhou Qingfeng changed his tone with a teasing tone and said 'um', and Zhu Youshu continued: "There are still five big ships on the river, maybe you will lose in the future." ”

At this time, both Shandong and North Korean officials are scolding in their hearts - this guy's mouth is too stinky. If the big boss loses, it won't do any of us any good. Do you want to die?

Zhou Qingfeng said with a straight face: "Zhu Youshu, I hope you can change your thinking. Between me and you are the two sides of the civil war. Now that I've stabilized the situation and have another place to exile you, I don't want to kill my own people anymore. I just pity you who have no evil deeds, but I don't want you to be loyal to me, I can completely ignore your life and death. ”

Zhu Youshu, including a vote of officials, immediately changed color and fell into deep thought. However, they were soon attracted by the changes on the battlefield. After clarifying the situation on the battlefield, the infantry phalanx of the 'revolutionary army' quickly attacked and intercepted the Korean infantry attacking by land. But the Korean infantry was eventually overwhelmed by the indigenous security forces and migrant workers.

Whether it is North Korea or Shandong, the officials on the city wall are pale one by one. Zhu Youshu whispered in despair: "The same was true when the city of Jinan was broken, the people hated the officials and soldiers like enemies, and no one was willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty. The officials and gentry in the city have fallen into the hands of the mob, and we have left our homeland for thousands of miles. ”

Zhou Qingfeng only sneered and corrected: "Pyongyang is less than two thousand miles away from Jinan, and it didn't take much effort for me to transport you over, it's only seven or eight days in total, so it's ten thousand miles away?" I told you to read more, and the old thinking needs to be changed. The world is big and small. ”

The next step was for the independent artillery company to take up position in the harbor and bombard the tortoiseshell boats on the river. These seemingly formidable warships became extremely vulnerable under the shelling, and did not play a big role at all. However, when the hull of a tortoiseshell ship collapsed, a roar was heard, and the water condensed on the surface of the river, forming a tall giant.

The North Korean officials on the city wall immediately exclaimed, "Chungmu Gong......!" ”

The officials from Shandong were also shocked one by one, not knowing how to deal with such a powerful monster?

Everyone looked at Zhou Qingfeng, but Zhou Qingfeng slowly straightened up, moved his muscles and said, "Finally, there is an opponent worthy of me." "He got up and jumped straight from the walls of Pyongyang, and when he landed, he had already changed his clothes into 'Cheonqing'.

The war machinery more than five meters high took heavy steps on the ground, and a large iron box was thrown out of the storage bag by Zhou Qingfeng. The box opened automatically when it landed, and an armory rack protruded. On the shelf, a weapon that had been folded was constantly deforming and expanding from its shrinking state, and finally turned into a terrifying battle axe more than two meters long with a wide blade.

'Tianqing' reached out and grabbed the weapon blessed by Wen Ruolan's own hands, and strode towards the Divine Soul Giant who was climbing the riverbank. His steel body shone brightly, and his burly and hideous appearance was terrifying—the people on the city wall were speechless, and only then did they know the horror of this 'revolutionary army' commander.

When the giant saw Zhou Qingfeng approaching, he immediately shouted angrily, "You...... What are you people from the Central Plains doing in our North Korea? If you become the lord of the Central Plains, we are willing to be loyal like a vassal state, so why do you come to destroy us? ”

Zhou Qingfeng laughed loudly, pointed at the blade of the axe, and shouted: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Our 'revolutionary army' is in the direction of the front, and the trench formed by the geographical barrier is the thoroughfare. There is no longer the possibility of waiting for a corner of the world, this is the general trend. It's not that I'm going to destroy you, it's that the world is so cruel! ”
