Chapter 244 Firearms

On the surface of the river, the battle flag hunted and danced.

Trumpets blaring in unison, war drums beating.

I don't know when, more than a dozen warships broke through the blockade of the river, burst into front of the dock, so that many people were shocked, these warships are much larger than the warships of the Jianghuai Army, about 20 meters long, with a high mast, with three sails on it, with the direction of the wind and change the direction and angle of the sails, and these warships are projecting rows of iron balls, spear-like arrows, shooting towards the Jianghuai army on the shore.

The rain fell like a rain of arrows, because it was a tailwind, the battleship moved rapidly, compared with the battleships of the Jianghuai army, it was like a turtle and a snail, and the battleships of the Jianghuai army did not take long to lose a lot.

At the same time, a much smaller assault boat was moving quickly, and on it were sailors wearing water, jumping into the rolling waves of the river one after another, and disappeared after a while, but soon, an exclamation spread from one of the warships of the Jianghuai Army, "The bottom of the ship is in the water!" ”

"There are water ghosts!" The general on the battleship was a tall man full of sturdiness, named Ruan Er, his muscles were as dark as ink, his face was black at the moment, he saw the assault boat on the river heading towards them, his face was grim, and he shouted: "Send the water ghost down!" ”

When he boarded the ship, the water ghosts jumped into the water one after another, but a burst of screams suddenly came, and blood spread on the surface of the river.

The battleship that had been scuttled slowly tilted, and with a boom the mast was blown in two, and the soldiers on board jumped into the water, all of them were very good soldiers, but as soon as they entered the water. He was pulled by his feet. Dragged into the water. They were strangled by the water ghosts, and the bright knife stabbed them in the heart, and it was really a white knife in and a red knife out.

"Throw stones and arrows!" The enemy ships opened up a distance above the river, and the spear-like arrows flew like locusts, hitting the river one after another, Ruan Er's face was dark, and he shouted angrily, and the boulders were thrown out one after another. A rain of arrows rained down on the enemy, but the enemy ships were like loaches, slippery, and easily dodged the attack.

Bang!

A loud sound like thunder resounded in the sky, suppressing the sound of the storm on the river, the thunder was shining, taking advantage of the thunder, Ruan Er saw the water columns rising on the surface of the river, and the water columns hit his face, making him extremely angry.

The hull of the ship suddenly tilted. The rear boat was blown open by a blow, and the flames filled the sky. The ship's soldiers rushed to extinguish the fire.

"What the hell is this?" Ruan Er shouted angrily, a wave of indignation pierced his heart, he had been in the navy for many years, and had seen a lot of battles, but he didn't know what the enemy's exploding iron balls were.

Above the river, the cannon roared loudly, as if the cannonballs were falling like heavenly fire, and the water column rose with a bang.

With the help of the storm, the two rows of oars of the enemy ships moved, and the sails were constantly adjusting their angles, and with the help of the storm, the enemy ships deftly dodged the flying arrows and boulders on the surface of the river like swimming fish.

The oil fell on the assault boats, and dozens of assault boats rolled up the sky full of fire, and the red and bright flames jumped with devouring ferocity, rushing towards the warships of the Jianghuai Army.

"Stop them!" Ruan Er roared angrily, on top of the battleship, huge boulders were thrown down one after another, and the rumbling earthquake opened up columns of water, only then did they smash an assault boat to pieces, and the flames on the river were monstrous.

There were also several people driving the fast-moving assault boat, and these big men deftly dodged the boulder, and the shields erected high on it blocked all the rain of arrows, and the tail of the ship was already a sea of fire, and the assault boat rushed towards a battleship with the wind, and the battleship hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.

The big man on the ship raised the oil drum and threw it at the battleship, or poured the oil on the river.

Boom!

The assault boat slammed into the battleship, the soldiers on it had already jumped into the river, the sawdust flew, the battleship was knocked to pieces, the flames on the assault ship soon spread to the battleship, a thick smoke was filled with smoke on the river, the red tongue of fire raged, and after a while, the boat had tilted, and the soldiers on it had just jumped into the water, but they were killed by the water ghost in the water.

Bright red blood stained the surface of the river, the sky was full of fire, the broken deck made a "pop" sound, the chaotic sawdust fell on the river, and the fragments of corpses were scattered on the river, the blood was like a rainbow, as if it was hell and it was terrifying.

The cannon fire rumbled, the battleship agitated the sails, and the cannonballs flew from it, these shells were made of developed gunpowder, wrapped in an iron shell, which looked like an iron ball, this is Lu Wuchen's secret weapon, after coming to the Datang world, the gunpowder that turned on the hot weapon was brought out, and it was even more difficult for people to study the weapon, and the power was revealed at this moment.

The cannonballs were fired from copper cannons, which had been studied since the beginning of the Ssangyong Gang, and it was only at this moment that the power of the cannonballs was unquestionable, although the range was not very long.

The sound of the cannon booming was heard, and the ears were numb, and the cannon exploded in the water, like a thunderous sound, and the battleships that were hit were all splashed with sawdust, and the masts fell on the river, and the fire burned.

More than a dozen warships are equipped with artillery, although the Shuanglong Gang has expanded its power outward, but it rarely fights with outsiders, and outsiders do not know the strength of the Shuanglong Gang, but now it is the first time that the Shuanglong Gang has shown its strength, letting the world know that he is roaring.

The battleships were faster than the warships of the Jianghuai Army, and they were also more dexterous, under the bombardment of the shells, the battleships of the Jianghuai Army were already bombarded to pieces, and the sailors on them jumped into the water, but there were already assault boats surrounding and suppressing them, killing or capturing those sailors.

And there was only one battleship left, which was the battleship of Ruan Er, the main general of the navy, this battleship was in the last, although it was hit by artillery in the stern, but it could still drive, but at this moment it was surrounded by several assault boats, dragged by a noose, and the soldiers jumped into the battleship one after another, and engaged the enemy.

These big men are all strong, and their bodies have become dark and strong after a long period of dealing with water, but the first one to jump on the battleship was Kou Zhong, who led the team to support Lu Wuchen this time.

Kou Zhong held a long knife in his hand, like a wolf killing the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, his body was like a swimming fish, very flexible, as if he was swimming in the water, natural and fast, the long knife in his hand was as natural as an arm, and one by one the big men fell beside him.

"Hugh will kill my soldiers!" An angry roar came from behind him, and there was a sound of breaking the air behind his ears, Kou Zhong's body twisted, and a knife flashed behind him like a loach, and the person who came was holding a ghost-headed broadsword, which was Ruan Er, the general of the Jianghuai Water Army.

Ruan Er glared at Kou Zhong angrily and shouted, "Bold thief, who are you?" ”

Kou Zhong smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I am Kou Zhong, the young marshal of the Double Dragon Gang!" ”

"I don't care who you are, you kill my soldiers, destroy my warship, you don't want to leave here today!" Ruan Er shouted angrily, grabbed in, and slashed at Kou Zhong with a big knife.

Kou Zhong snorted coldly, his true qi was running, he shouted angrily, and he also attacked, and there were fierce battles on the battleship behind him, the soldiers of the Shuanglong Gang were all martial arts, and most of the leaders were disciples of the Shuanglong Gang, and there were many of them who were also Kou Zhong's disciples, and Yangzhou was located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the training in water warfare had been for a long time, these soldiers were all in groups of three or five, holding blades in their hands, and they were swarming up, how these Jianghuai soldiers were the opponents of these people, and it was not long before it was already a river of blood.

Seeing that his soldiers were killed one after another, Ruan Er's eyes were cracked, his eyes were blood-red, the green tendons on his forehead appeared, and a ghost-headed broadsword in his hand was even more ferocious.

Kou Zhong laughed, and said mockingly: "Your subordinates have all become the souls of the sword, and soon you will also become the snack of the fish and shrimp in the river!" ”

The two fought fiercely, Kou Zhong sold a flaw, Ruan Er saw it clearly, and was overjoyed in his heart, a knife was cut at Kou Zhong's right chest, Kou Zhong smiled slightly, one turned sideways, his right arm clamped the knife, and the long knife in his hand snatched in with his body, and stabbed him in the chest.

Ruan Er's eyes widened, and Kou Zhong smiled: "It's really not blind to death, and it's your honor to die in my hands!" With that, he casually pushed the big man into the water.

The battle on the river was over in a short time, the fire was burning on the river, and the warships of the Jianghuai army were scattered and scattered, and they had been occupied by the warships of the Shuanglong Gang, and the artillery brought by Kou Zhong was completely unpaid and bombarded towards the camp of the Jianghuai army, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to roll and fill the air.

"It's really amazing, it's still scary after watching it for so long, this shouldn't be something that flesh and blood can resist!" Kou Zhong, who boarded the battleship, was also shocked by this power.

"Haha, yes, with this sharp weapon, the lord will be invincible in his struggle for domination in the world!" A voice came, and it was the vanity that looked around.

Kou Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, with this sharp weapon, who is the opponent of my Double Dragon Gang in the world!" Yes, let's hurry up and support Jingling, if Jingling is occupied by the Jianghuai army, the master is afraid that he will cut us with a knife! ”

Void Xingzhi smiled: "Then the Jianghuai army's military spirit has been dispersed, we can block the dock." Under the sharp weapons of artillery, I want to see how the flesh and blood of the Jianghuai army can resist? ”

After taking a closer look, Kou Zhong found that the Jianghuai army was already collapsed at this moment, nodded, and said: "If you take Jingling, you can go straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and this battle is the starting point for our Shuanglong Gang to participate in the world hegemony, but we can't mess it up, it's better to keep it stable!" ”

Xu Xingzhi nodded and said, "What the young marshal said is very true, we still have a lot of firearms we have brought, so we will add another fire to the Jianghuai army." ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong sneered and said, "Hehe, I want to see how long the Jianghuai army can last!" ”

After a while, countless firearms shot towards the position of the Jianghuai army as if they did not need money, and when they landed, an explosion like fireworks sounded, the flames filled the sky, and the rumbling sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the roaring thunder was actually suppressed by this burst of sound.
