When the fleet was out of the battlefield, the dinghy was released and the exhausted seven people were rescued.

Immediately, all the way to the south, to the early morning of the second day, there was another accident.

Wang Xuan originally wanted to concentrate the wounded soldiers in the flagship to recuperate, but Wang Yu and other generals refused to live or die, so they concentrated them on a battleship in the middle.

When the sailors on the night shift finished their breakfast and began to fall asleep, a warning came from the lookout.

Thousands of meters ahead, dense warships blocked the river, and it was endless, and there was no end in sight.

When Wang Xuan learned the news, he thought that Zhao Shengrui had found all the ships in Great Xia in order to block his way.

But when you think about it, it's unlikely.

Not only is it too late to come up, but there are also many territories that are not in harmony with each other and cannot be shirked under various excuses.

After inquiring about the reserves of shells and bullets, Wang Xuan was a little helpless.

The artillery shells can also support two high-intensity wars, but there are a lot of bullets, and if you line up to shoot them, it is enough to kill the soldiers of Great Xia.

The three supply ships that had been lost earlier were devastated by the loss.

According to the current ammunition reserves, it can support three medium-intensity wars with some savings, and according to the action ability of Great Xia, it can still last for three days. After three days, they could only defend with muskets.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan felt a nameless karmic fire in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are we fighting or stopping?" asked the adjutant.

"Is there any movement of the enemy on the shore?" Wang Xuan wanted to know the enemy's arrangement.

"It's quiet for the time being. The adjutant replied simply without adding any speculation that the other might still be on the way.

Wang Xuan replied without thinking: "Stop the ship and prepare for war." Try not to make noise to the people on duty at night. ”

The adjutant was stunned, then snapped, put his feet together, saluted a very standard military salute, and turned around and walked out of the war room.

Sailors who operated the paddle wheel had to endure physical torture as much as possible to eliminate mental stress as much as possible.

It would always be good to get more sleep.

Wang Xuan thought silently, there is no practical difference between firing early and firing late, if you can sleep more, you can sleep more, it is impossible for Wang Du to let them return to auspiciousness so easily.

The enemy ships in front of them still did not move, as if they were asleep, and ignored the auspicious abnormal behavior.

Shi Xingchang and Sun Yingjie, who had stayed up for half a night and had no chance to play, stared at the sleepy eyes again and catted on the side of the boat.

As the sun rose, when a red halo pierced through the clouds and shrouded the river like silver lightning, the fleet at the southern end opened fire first.

"The early bird gets the worm, and the early worm gets eaten by the bird......"

Everyone in the war room glanced at their King Majesty with some surprise, and although they didn't know what they meant, they also sincerely admired it.

Wang Xuan shook his head, he wanted to be the bird that got up early...... No, it's an early eagle!

"The three ships are staggered, the deck guns are solid, the target, the enemy ship in the river ahead. ”

By the time the three ships in front barely staggered and began to counterattack, the enemy's first round of shelling was over.

Wang Yu was in the command room in the middle, listening to the sound of cannons not far away, and knew that His Majesty was using solid bullets.

This has the advantage of making full use of its penetrating power to inflict penetrating damage on adjacent ships, resulting in greater damage than ever before.

The river was narrow, the distance between the two sides was close, and the hit rate of the naval guns was very high.

Because Wang Xuan's flagship was at the forefront, it suffered the greatest blow, and almost every round was attacked by several shells, and those bouncing solid bullets smashed the wooden deck into potholes, injuring some people.

That's all, due to the process, the armor thickness and riveting technology of this ironclad ship are not perfect, and some joints have begun to deform under the impact of shells.

Wang Xuan was worried that if the bombardment continued at this intensity, the ironclad ship would not last long, but if it was replaced by a reinforced concrete battleship, he was afraid that the part of the waterline would already be mottled at this time.

And so it is.

After yesterday's close-range shelling, the cement on both sides of most of the battleships fell off, revealing the true face of the steel bars inside, which gave a lot of inspiration to the people of Daxia.

As for whether you can realize something, it depends on luck.

If there were a few more shelling as strong as yesterday's, the battleship would have disintegrated.

After a few rounds, enemy artillery appeared on the side of the avenue on both sides.

After the suffocated battleships in the back got the order to fire freely, they aimed at those first-generation guns, and hundreds of solid shells were fired at them.

The density of the artillery of the auspicious battleship is far greater than that of the Xia army artillery.

There are both layout factors and topographical reasons.

Its power, rate of fire, and accuracy of shooting when stagnant are also far superior to Daxia, so after only three rounds of artillery bombardment, most of the army artillery exposed to Daxia was dumbfired.

Reality taught the artillery commander of Daxia a vivid lesson, and the bombardment was simply looking for death, but the price of this lesson was a bit big.

After the artillery on the shore was silent, the first few warships responsible for blocking the river had also disintegrated, leaving a layer of debris undulating with the waves, as if mourning.

The deck guns had not stopped, and they continued to attack the enemy ships behind, one after another.

In this way, although the auspicious battleship was trapped in the river and could not speed up, the people of Daxia were also in a situation of being passively beaten, and the eldest brother did not laugh at the second brother.

The mascot is not happy, and the people of Daxia are also a little difficult to ride tigers, do they want to use their lives to exhaust the opponent's shells?

The people of Daxia are not stupid, and Wang Xuan is not so naïve.

So, the whole fleet began to move slowly until the wreckage of the enemy ships came to a halt.

The two sides continued to bombard, but at this time the pressure on the flagship was much less.

The channel opened a gap, and Wang Xuan replaced it with a flowering bomb.

The river channel in front is wider, and the flowering shells can provide a wider damage effect, affecting the enemy ships on the left and right, effectively killing and injuring enemy gunners.

So after four rounds, the enemy ship caught fire.

Coupled with the incessant and raging shell strikes, the mentality of the other side began to collapse.

At this time, no one in Great Xia was willing to fight against the auspicious warships that were famous at home and abroad in the land of death.

That's not bravery, it's stupidity.

It was impossible for the Great Xia commander on the shore not to see this scene, so Wang Xuan was waiting, waiting for the other party's move, he didn't believe that Zhao Shengrui was capable of this.

Just when the auspicious warship stepped on the remains of the Great Xia warship, slowly moving forward bit by bit, overwhelming them, there was finally movement on the shore.

It's just that the other party's decision exceeded the mascot's expectations, and the other party pushed the carriage covered with iron sheets to the shore, and then stabilized.

Although it was a horse-drawn carriage, it was just a heavy carriage thickened and reinforced with several layers of iron sheets.

These wagons were so stubborn that solid bullets could only shake them back, but they could not shatter them.

I don't know what the internal structure is, even if it hits the body of the carriage, it is difficult to damage the people behind the carriage, let alone die.

What's more, they moved directly and quickly to the shore, using trees, raised docks and other buildings as cover, so that the auspicious naval guns could not take them.

With a precedent, the people of Daxia are more handy at doing it.

Shi Xingchang smelled something bad, and after making a gesture, he put the loaded musket at the firing port position, looking for the target.

The rest of the people followed the example of the company commander, found the gun position one after another, and began to sift through the prey.

After the opponent gained a foothold on the shore, he began to launch an attempted attack.

The method was traditional, with the crossbowmen suppressing, and then the sword and shield men stepped on the long ladder stuck under the heavy carriage at the rear end, and jumped towards the deck not far away.

This efficiency is outrageously low.

Some of them were shaken down by the undulating bamboo ladders, some fell to the shore, and some fell into the water.

Those who fell on the shore were killed, and after a round of grenades, few could move.

However, most of the people who fell into the water picked up a life, and after relieving themselves, they climbed up tentatively along the iron anchor of the battleship.

Not to mention, the mascot didn't expect the other party to be such a chicken thief, and when they jumped on the deck, even Shi Xingchang, who was lying on the side of the ship, froze.

After breaking the two gunmen, the people who reacted shot the three Daxia people to death.

The people on the shore were worried about boarding the boat, and when they saw that the few people who had fallen into the water were lucky enough to get on the deck, they thought about it.

After a while, a wave of death squads of about 30 people rushed towards the river, looking like they wanted to jump into the water.

After the group of people went into the water one after another, Shi Xingchang slapped his thigh violently, and pointed to the dozen or so people at the bow of the ship and gestured.

'The enemy will do it again!'

Seven words, concise and to the point.

The soldiers of Great Xia who were climbing smoothly along the iron chain felt that the black shadows on their heads flickered, and the people above kept falling into the water, and some even implicated a few friendly troops below.

Then there was a mist of blood, and the smell of blood was pungent.

When someone looked up, they realized that the mascot was holding a strange weapon with a large tail and a thin head, like a larger burning stick, and was spitting tongues of fire at him.

Then, he felt that he was hit hard in the chest, and the whole person instantly lost his strength, his hands were weakly released, and he fell to the sky, until some cold river water wrapped him, and his consciousness fell into darkness.

After the failure of this wave of attacks, the shore people organized a second and third time, but none of them succeeded.

The human mind is the greatest unsolved mystery in the world, and there are always some wonderful ideas that will sprout from time to time.

The people on the shore didn't know which tendon was on the right line, and they actually found a bamboo pole more than ten meters long, and after a whistle, everyone immediately turned into pole vaulting athletes, and flew towards the auspicious battleship.

One by one, the figures fell from the sky, which really frightened the mascot, and several people were caught off guard.

A moment later, the guns rang out, half at those who had not yet landed in the air, and half at the deck, the axemen who were having fun.

The auspicious spearman, who gradually found the rhythm of shooting, slowly took the initiative and began to consciously shoot in three stages to suppress the enemy.

There are only a handful of people below who can successfully get on the boat, and even if they are lucky, even fewer can stand.

A key role in this is artillery.

Although it was fired at close range, it still used flowering shells.

The cannonball was fired at an angle, rubbed against the carriage, and then slid into the crowd on the side, and then after a 'bang', the area was silent.

Then came the grenades.

In order for the enemy to jump to the deck, the end of the bamboo pole must be inserted into the underwater silt, so that the pole holder must be detached from the protection of the rear carriage and exposed to the sight of the mascot.

It is very pleasant to still carry a grenade from a high position, and even if it does not explode in mid-air, it will blow up the bamboo pole after falling into the water.

Water is very compressible, and conversely, it is very conductive, and basically if it has ten points, it will transmit nine and a half minutes.

The grenade exploded in the water, and as long as the distance was not too far, those bamboo poles broke one after another under the action of the impact, and the trapeze in mid-air naturally fell.

The last is the musket.

It's just that the auspicious spearmen usually shoot birds, and today they fight people.

Maybe the ship that Shi Xingchang was on was of little value, and there were not many besiegers.

But the whole body of the black iron armor, shaped like a monster, no matter how it shelled, even if the surface was already pitted, giving people a visual impact full of holes, it was still as majestic as a mountain.

This strange half-sized warship terrified the people of Great Xia.

Fear comes from the unknown, and the unknown comes from ignorance.

They don't know anything about this ironclad.

Man, either perish in fear or explode in fear.

Once it erupts, the staggering destructive power cannot be underestimated.

Perhaps realizing the particularity of this strange warship, the commander of Great Xia abandoned the battleship behind him and focused on dealing with this strange ship.

The same tricks, the same tricks, but the effects are very different.

The fleet, which was like a long dragon, was originally covered with ants, and although it was uncomfortable, it was still able to cope with it.

But now the queen ant gave an order, and all the ants below the neck of the long dragon rushed forward and besieged the dragon head with all their might.

The tremendous pressure of this sudden change of rhythm caught the mascot off guard.

The few battleships in front of them became precarious in an instant.

The rate of fire of the naval guns is there, and the people of Daxia will take advantage of your shooting intervals and start to attack, even if you take turns shelling, it is useless, the coverage of a single or several guns is too narrow, and the people are too small, it is like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.

The battleships in front encountered endless saturation attacks, which made the people in the rear jump to their feet in a hurry, but they were in a hurry.

Some can also use deck guns to shoot some side guns, but they can only be better than nothing.

Seeing that there were more and more enemies on the ship, and that their own people were becoming more and more difficult to deal with, they were unable to fall one by one, and a battleship in the rear was anxious, and crashed forward regardless of it.

Both ships were damaged to varying degrees, but the battleship that was hit was connected to the front ship.

The red-eyed mascot jumped to the stern of the front ship along the bow of the ship, which gave the captains a great inspiration.

The dragon disintegrated, dismembered into bones, and then began to reassemble, becoming more tightly connected.

In this way, the whole fleet was connected end to end, and the spearmen galloped along this undulating and precious passage of varying widths to the flagship to the south.

At this time, the flagship deck had been lost, and Wang Xuan was trapped in the war room, and through the glass, he could clearly see the other party's fanatical eyes looking at him.

Don't think about it, he is the Tang monk meat in the other party's mouth, and he is the bargaining chip for their promotion and fortune.

Looking at the doorknob that began to slowly deform under the continuous impact of the other party, Wang Xuan gave the order to prepare for battle.

The staff officers, adjutants, clerks, and others drew their swords, and those who raised their guns raised their guns.

And he himself, after laughing at himself, casually pulled out two short guns.
