The four best-preserved cavalry battalions swept from the heights of the east and west flanks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although they also sensed that the fleet in Yingshui was constantly approaching the banks of the highland river, and even adjusting their formation, neither Yuan Wuxing nor Yuan Wenliang thought that the Huaiyou Navy could play any role at this time.

As long as the Huaiyou Navy dares to land on the shore, then they are sure that these sailors who do not know whether they are alive or dead will not return.

Even the tough and fierce Heshuo infantry could only shrink up and struggle to support themselves in front of the Caizhou cavalry, let alone the thinner armor of the navy?

However, reality played a big joke on Yuan Wuxing and Yuan Wenliang, which made them stunned in the ensuing engagement, even more than the shock caused by the bombardment of the Falling Wooden Tower when they were besieging Gushi City.

Mei Guo stood at the bow of the ship, and the heralds flew back and forth, constantly passing orders.

Several large warships had begun to move along the riverbank, constantly adjusting their direction, even overlapping slightly, but there was no doubt that the entire eastern flank of the heights was completely exposed to the bombardment of the ships' ship's gunfire cannons and heavy spell bed crossbows.

The sails on the mast had been lowered, and the sailors had to rely on the oars to orient the ships in order to keep them in a relatively fixed position, with the most powerful dragon cannons and spell bed crossbows facing the riverbank.

"My lord, the Caizhou cavalry has entered the attack range, and the target is two hundred steps away!"

Mei Guo felt that his palms were also a little tired, and sweat overflowed from the palms of his hands, which was even more nervous than facing the impact of the enemy directly, which was related to the fate of this Chengde army, and it was also the first battle of the new Huaiyou Water Army, which was about to begin!

"My lord, the Caizhou cavalry is approaching the river bank, a distance of one hundred and eighty steps!"

"The dragon cannon is ready, the bed crossbow is ready!" Mei Guo almost squeezed two words out of his teeth.

As the flag waved in the herald's hand, there was a rush on the deck of the six large ships clustered along the coast, and the muzzles of the fire dragon cannons, which had already torn off their armor, were lifted, and the sailors frantically twisted the winches to make the muzzles start too high, and the observation posts began to enter the observation positions, ready to evaluate after the first blow.

At the same time, the spell bed crossbow also began to be pushed out and began to be fully fixed, and the position of the bed crossbow mouth was also raised under the winch, and the crossbow arrow cluster mouth revealed the edge of Senlan.

"My lord, one hundred and fifty paces away!"

"My lord, one hundred and twenty paces away!"

"A hundred paces away!" the sound of the observation post on the mast had been somewhat distorted and became particularly harsh.

"All ships of fire dragon cannons, prepare!" Mei Guo took a deep breath.

There was another rush on the deck, although the sailors had already operated many times in the drill, but they only had one or two real battles, and most of the other time they used substitutes for the dragon cannon, so it was necessary to really see the power of this kind of actual combat use.

"My lord, eighty steps!"

Eighty steps, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty meters, can be said to be quite close to the bank of the highland river.

"Shoot!" Mei Kuang no longer hesitated and gave the order.

Eighteen dragon cannons on six large warships began to wield.

This dragon cannon is nominally a cannon, but in fact, it is still similar to a catapult in terms of working principle, except that the projection power is no longer with a throwing arm, but with a huge metal twisted spring, through a winch to stretch a number of specially created special twisted springs, and finally release kinetic energy to shoot the cannon bullet.

This principle is actually not complicated, but it is very particular about the process, especially in the production of tense springs.

The steel elastic coil spring is not at all achievable by the existing level of craftsmanship, which is also a breakthrough brought by Ganquan's arrival in Huzhou Daozang.

The magicians of the Dozosho have readjusted the material standards and production process of the twisted springs, using mixed refined iron that has been tempered multiple times, and quenching them with water-based magic.

The level of this batch of twisted springs is much higher than that of ordinary fine iron coiled springs, and its elastic strength is better after being blessed by magic, and the buckling tension is stronger and more durable, so it can bear the projection needs of fire dragon cannons and spell bed crossbows.

At the same time, the cannon is installed in the special gun magazine, when ejected, the cannon is ejected from the gun magazine, and the track is fixed through a section of the gun barrel, on the one hand, the gun can be ignited and burned in the gun barrel through friction, and on the other hand, the ejection path can be effectively controlled through the gun barrel, so that its running track is more accurate, and the effect of precision strike is achieved.

The most complicated process is the cannon.

The cannon is made of special stones, using bone glue, fire oil, phosphorus powder infiltration fermentation process, this stone is also very special, it is a special product of Huzhou, this kind of knotweed stone after being soaked in bone glue, fire oil and phosphorus powder, once burned, it will expand and explode in a very short time, so that the cannon will explode and disintegrate in the process of flying combustion, forming an effect similar to a large shotgun.

This is also after the establishment of the Daozang Institute, Jiang Feng put forward the idea, and then the Daozang Institute set up the project, led by Luo Zhen A group of magicians to undertake this research, and finally after the Shouzhou Navy was subsumed into the Huaiyou Navy Army, it first began to start experiments on the Navy fleet.

The power of this dragon cannon is far greater than that of the Falling Wood Tower, and in fact it is not exactly a pure magic weapon, but more like a hybrid of magic and science.

Yuan Wenliang rode his horse and waved his spear, and hundreds of iron horses rolled up a storm behind him again, obviously, the Cheng German army could not support it, although this kind of turtle defense did strengthen the defensive density, but this made it impossible to launch a counterattack, this passive way of being beaten doomed they could only slowly collapse in round after round of impact.

Sudden mutations.

The corner of his eye seemed to feel some kind of change in the air, Yuan Wenliang subconsciously slanted into the air, and a scattered black dot suddenly floated in the air from the direction of the river bank, like a group of birds flying in the air, the speed was very fast, and the black dot quickly approached and became larger.

Subconsciously felt that this group of black spots contained full of malice, but the reaction was already half a beat slower, the black dots were close, Yuan Wenliang could clearly see that those black dots were round balls, and they were burning balls, each ball was the size of a basin, like a demon laughing in the air.

"Not good!" Yuan Wenliang was shocked in his heart, and just before he could shout, the burning ball exploded in the air.

With a burst of flames, each orb split into four or five irregular pieces, smashing down from the air.

A fragment smashed towards Yuan Wenliang's shoulder, Yuan Wenliang roared, the horse lance rung, the fragment smashed on the horse lance's head, scattered and cracked, a little spark rushed to the face, a few sparks fell on the horse, suddenly burned, the painful horse jumped wildly, and almost turned Yuan Wenliang off the horse.

Yuan Wenliang didn't have time to think about it, and slapped several times in a row, but he couldn't let or extinguish it, and finally he had to pull out his waist knife and cut off a few burning flesh and skin on Jianma's body, so that Jianma could settle down.

If you do it yourself, what about the others?

Some people obviously don't have as much luck as Yuan Wenliang.

Some were directly hit by the burning stones, and were knocked off their horses at that time, and were trampled into flesh by their follow-up comrades.

And some people avoided it, but the sparks scattered in the air fell on them, clinging to them, and quickly burning.

Those who react faster realize how powerful this thing is and quickly take off their armor, while those who react more slowly, or find it later, can only watch themselves turn into a ball of fire.

No one would have thought that such a round of burning fire demons would suddenly fly out of the river, whether it was the Caizhou cavalry or the Chengde army, which was already at an absolute disadvantage.

Without waiting for the Caizhou cavalry to react, the second round of blows followed one after another.

Another black piece of black came to the air like a bird, the same action, the same explosion in the air, the same smashed down, without any tricks, just fell.

It's just a pity that the Caizhou cavalry, which was charging at the Germans in a dense formation, could hardly make a countermeasure, and it was impossible to adjust or change direction in the process of running at high speed, at least in a short time.

And although the coverage density of this flying fire demon is not large, the terrible thing is that it will explode and disintegrate in the air, and the phosphorus powder released can attach to anything that can be touched and burn, either take it off or cut it off, otherwise it will not be burned thoroughly, and it will never stop.

When the third round of fire dragon artillery bombardment hit the formation of the Caizhou cavalry, the Caizhou army could no longer maintain the formation.

No matter how Yuan Wenliang gave the order to shout, it could not keep these soldiers disciplined.

The cavalry subconsciously rode their horses to avoid the line of the river bank and moved closer to the center, and the cavalry in the middle, which was already three battalions of cavalry attack, was squeezed by their companions from the flank, and immediately became chaotic, and the whole attack wave suddenly failed.

The bombardment effect of the fourth wave was far less than that of the first three, but it was still not to be underestimated.

Although it was impossible to directly hit the high ground that had given way to the line of the river bank, due to the slight inclination angle of the high ground, many of the stones that landed were already circular or nearly circular, and with the help of the inclined angle of the high ground, they rolled downward, and fireballs continued to roll into the cavalry, causing a real commotion and stampede.

Yuan Wenliang completely lost control, he was passively coerced by these terrified soldiers, and frantically rushed to the middle.

At this time, it is impossible to ride a horse back, and the cavalry that keeps up from the rear can only lead the way and escape with the help of speed, if you want to turn around, then wait for the comrades behind to collide.

At this moment, Yuan Wenliang just wanted to cry, a thousand elite horses, seeing that he was about to break through the enemy's array, but now he was ruined by all these flying disasters!
