The batch of supplies that Chang Suining was waiting for arrived within the expected hour.

Sheng Jun, who was in charge of receiving supplies in the rear, soon discovered that there were more ships carrying supplies than before, and those ships brought things that they had never seen before.

Strangely, those things weren't food, medicine, ordnance, gunpowder, or any novelty mechanism—

Seeing that the rectangular wooden objects that were more than one person tall were quickly carried down by the soldiers, Tang Xing's eyes were full of surprise: "My lord, these are the ...... Bellows?! ”

"A modified bellows, to be exact." Chang Sui Ning said: "Those craftsmen named it, double-action bellows. ”

Going back, the appearance of the bellows has brought great help to the refinement of the art of firing and smelting, and greatly increased the temperature of the furnace fire.

However, the development of bellows so far, most of them only stay in one-way air supply, and the wind can be sent out by pushing and pulling.

At this moment, the "double-action bellows" in Chang Suining's mouth can create air between push and pull, and there are air intakes at both ends, which greatly increases the air supply speed, and can achieve continuous air supply, with a large and durable air outlet.

Before, Chang Suining instructed Shen Sanmao to make bellows, and only made one request - if the air supply speed could be slightly increased on the original basis, it would be great.

I never thought that those craftsmen who came to Jiangdu and Meng Lie secretly found by themselves, under the collision of various ingenious ideas, gave her a big surprise and created such a leapfrog new thing.

These good things, which were later used in the smelter, were undoubtedly a great weapon.

Strictly speaking, bellows were originally made for firing, and it was unexpected that it appeared in naval battles at this moment.

However, surprise has always been the only prerequisite for surprise success.

"Pass the order, and quickly distribute these two hundred wind boxes to the fifty vanguard warships in front, each ship has four units, and each air box is for four people to take turns to guard." Chang Suining instructed: "After everything is ready, listen to my orders and make the wind." ”

"Yes!"

Hearing the word "making wind" in the girl's mouth, Tang Xing's heart suddenly stirred up an unknown wave - historically, the direction of the wind has been a godsend. However, at this moment, the sky does not give the wind, but someone has to rely on manpower to create the wind she wants on this sea area.

This feeling of "God refuses to give it, I make it myself" brought Tang Xing a strange shock.

Soon, the shock was embodied.

As those special gunpowder cartridges were projected onto the Japanese warships, and after they were swept into the water by the Japanese army, there was a sudden strong wind on the originally windless sea, whistling and making a "whirring" wind roar.

And the direction of the wind was very strange, and they all headed straight for the Japanese warships, which seemed to be artificially controlled, and overbearing the smoke.

The smoke was carried by the direction of the wind, and it also formed a formal air flow in the air, as if it had life, and it covered the Japanese army.

Soon, the lime powder and other materials that exploded in the smoke screen began to play an effect in the air, causing those Japanese soldiers who were fighting in the front line to fall into panic one after another.

On the other hand, the Sheng army covered their mouths and noses with face towels, and with bellows in their hands, they could also use the wind power in their hands to expel the smoke that showed signs of returning.

The wind and smoke were all sudden, and the already exhausted Japanese army did not even have time to tell what was happening, so they became more and more panicked.

There were still a large number of gunpowder cartridges, which were thrown between the Japanese warships with the help of projection mechanisms on the warships.

Shouts, urgent orders, the sound of warships squeezing, the sound of confusion.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Suining asked the soldiers to take out the straw that had been tied in advance, wet the outside with seawater, ignite the inner core, and pile up a large amount on the boat. In this way, more than a dozen unmanned boats sailed downwind to the camp of the Japanese army, rolling up even more smoke.

The inside of these straws is also filled with lime and other substances, and the lethality of the smoke is not inferior to those special gunpowder cartridges.

However, in contrast, special powder cartridges are more difficult to extinguish and can be easily dispersed and thrown, which is suitable for taking the lead, and then burning smoke with straw after the enemy army has fallen into chaos and lost its mobility, which is more economical and practical.

After all, gunpowder costs a lot of money, and Chang Suining advocates the combat principle of "spending what should be spent, and saving what can be saved".

As the smoke became thicker and thicker, many of the Japanese soldiers were unable to open their eyes and wept profusely.

And their panic is not only from the trauma of physical vision, but also from the psychological impact -

It should be noted that most of the weapons used in naval warfare today are swords, spears, bows and arrows, and catapult mechanisms installed on warships.

In terms of tactics, there have been fire attacks since ancient times, at first they were attacked by fireboats, and since the great prosperity, because gunpowder has been used in warfare, rockets have appeared to support combustion.

But there was a smoke screen on the sea, and such a method against the enemy had never been done before.

"Never" means a great unknown.

The time when a weapon is at its most lethal is always when it is first introduced on a large scale - if its original lethality is 60%, the first time it is used, it will reach 10%, and the remaining 40% is the deterrent it brings to people's hearts.

Looking at the monstrous smoke screen in front of him, Tang Xing could already conclude that this battle, no matter what the result was, would inevitably open a new chapter in naval warfare and leave a strong mark in the history of naval warfare.

Double-acting bellows, gunpowder into the water...... He has never used half of the external force to raise a smoke screen to control the enemy at sea...... Even if he is buried here today, he is fortunate enough to participate in such a battle, but it is worth it!

Yuan Xiang, who had been fighting for many years, was also very excited, and at this moment, looking at the situation of the Japanese army opposite, he couldn't help but admire and said: "Boss, your plan today is simply the reincarnation of Chiyou!" ”

Chang Sui Ning turned his head slightly to look at him: "? ”

"There are clouds in ancient books, and Chi can especially make a fog and make the sergeant unconscious, so as to win!" Yuan Xiang's eyes were full of admiration: "You are more than Chi You, you are even better!" ”

Looking back, he will definitely write this battle to the Metropolitan Governor in detail!

Chang Chiyou reincarnated Sui Ning, raised his eyebrows slightly and recognized the title.

The two generals stepped forward quickly, their faces full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to ask for instructions: "Boss, taking advantage of the chaos of the Japanese army, can you order the troops to come forward to attack and kill?!" ”

"There's no hurry." Chang Sui Ning said: "Wait for them to be more chaotic." ”

Her soldiers have already suffered too many casualties, and next, she has to kill the enemy at the lowest cost.

At this moment, the smoke is thick, and if you are eager to attack, it is easy to hurt your own people.

This is also the reason why Chang Suining rejected another proposal of Shen Sanmao before-

Shen Sanmao is a human being, which cannot be defined by good and evil in the secular sense, when Chang Sui Ning made these powder cartridges mixed with lime, he once privately proposed that it is better to add poison in addition to lime powder, poison with smoke, and kill the enemy will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Chang Suining looked at him for a moment, and shook his head: [Inappropriate]

Shen Sanmao hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, only as the vicious side he exposed, which made Chang Suining unhappy.

Chang Sui Ning explained to him: [On the battlefield, you die and I die, especially when dealing with foreign enemies of the Japanese tribe, I don't have the slightest compassion, but I am afraid that the toxicity will be too great and it will hurt my own soldiers]

In many cases, when a war starts, planning is one thing, implementation is another, and in case of sudden changes in the direction of the wind, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses and end up in the backfire.

Greed and desire to kill, everyone on the battlefield has it, and before such a huge temptation to frustrate the enemy, reason told Chang Suining that he should choose to guard the bottom line of the safety of the soldiers under his command first, and then talk about other things.

In the thick smoke, the formation of the Japanese army became more and more chaotic.

From a distance, the sea is still calm, and it exists quietly in the thin night between heaven and earth.

But only where the Japanese army was, the smoke was thick and the screams were deafening, as if countless evil spirits were trapped in the infernal hell, struggling in fear, and being judged by the gaze of all things in heaven and earth.

The Sheng army regarded the Japanese army as a tortured evil ghost, and the Japanese army also regarded the Sheng army as an evil ghost at this moment.

- How can someone create a hurtful smoke screen out of thin air on the surface of the sea when there is no wind? It's not a demon or something!

The army is no longer a lamb to the slaughter.

On the contrary, they have fallen into a huge passivity because of this!

They tried to escape, but the ships were struggling to move an inch, and they fell into even greater confusion.

Some of the soldiers did not know what they were going to face next, and they jumped into the water in a panic, but the lime stained on their eyes and skin brought a greater burning sensation when they entered the water, and the screams of pain continued to sound.

"It's just smoke and lime, why be afraid!" Fujiwara Maro rebuked with a gloomy face: "A bunch of waste who have no ability to adapt! ”

He was angry with his sergeants and tried to stabilize the situation repeatedly, but to no avail, he could only watch the situation get more and more out of control.

Maro Fujiwara is an excellent soldier, and he can still be calm and fearless in this situation, but he can't force every soldier under his command to be as calm as he is.

If a general can be a general, he must have something extraordinary, and most soldiers can only be an ordinary soldier in their lives, and there is also a fundamental reason.

Even before today, these Japanese soldiers were arrogant, ruthless, and dressed in a cloak of ambition and greed, and dared to wantonly torture and kill—

But after this coat was burned by a sudden fire, they inevitably revealed their true colors after all.

Some of the ships in the rear, having struggled to change their direction, began to flee without military orders.

Seeing that the smoke was a little lighter, Chang Suining raised his hand in time and ordered: "Release the arrow——"

"Yes!"

With a shout, she slammed the drum and gave the command to release the arrow.

On the ships, the drums beat in unison, and clusters of rockets landed on the warships of the Japanese army.

The purpose of the rocket was to set fire to the enemy ships and create further chaos, but because many Japanese soldiers could not see, they did not have time to dodge, and many of them even fell with arrows.

This undoubtedly made the Japanese army more and more frightened.

As the ship burned, they fled in an orderly manner, completely losing what little coordination they had left.

The rockets continued to fly, and Fujiwara Maro's ships were also affected.

Although most of the smoke screen was cleared, the Japanese camp seemed to have brewed a new sea of fire.

"Boss ......!" Vice General Jin and the others surrendered their hands behind the black-robed girl and begged for their lives.

The girl didn't look back at them, her already dry black hair was slightly scattered, a few strands of hair rose in the early night breeze, and there was fire in her dark eyes that flickered—

At this moment, the time has come, and she said: "Pass the order, and all the soldiers of the army will kill the thieves immediately." ”

Vice General Jin and the others, who had been waiting for this moment for too long, were all shocked when they heard this, and responded loudly: "The last general has an order!" ”

They got up suddenly, and were about to go down to give the order, but they heard the girl say, "Do you all know that in our army, there is a rule that those who surrender do not kill?" ”

Thinking of these comrades who died tragically and even been tortured and killed, although Vice General Jin and others were unwilling, they still said: "The last general knows!" ”

"Then you remember, we don't understand the Japanese language-" Chang Sui Ning said, "Therefore, there are no troops here tonight." ”

Blood debts need to be paid with blood, and tonight, she wants these Japanese soldiers who take the initiative to attack pay a price of ten times and a hundred times.

"The last general...... Yes, sir! ”

Vice General Jin responded with a heavy fist, and when he turned around, he pulled out his long knife with red eyes and shouted: "The boss has an order, kill the enemy immediately!" ”

"Kill!"

There was even a general who shouted in grief: "...... Avenge our comrades who died in vain and General Chang! Kill! ”

"Avenge General Changda!"

"-Kill!"

In the exhilarating shouts, Tang Xing also burst out with enthusiasm, drew his sword and stepped forward.

Fujiwara Maro is not a person who insists on going his own way, in this case, the Japanese army is gone, it is said that he should have withdrawn the army, but the huge chaos made it difficult for the fleet to rush, large and small nearly 800 warships, to readjust the order, but it is not easy.

What's more, at this moment, many ships were on fire, and the Mori army was attacking in a big way at this time, and the Japanese troops on each ship were too busy to take care of themselves, and Fujiwara Maro's orders could not be conveyed smoothly at all.

At this time, a Japanese soldier who came in a hurry brought back the battle situation in Runzhou.

Fujiwara Maro attacked the Runzhou defense line with nearly 40,000 troops, firstly, in order to contain the strength of the Sheng army, and secondly, he also pinned his hopes on breaking through Runzhou, although Runzhou was far inferior to Jiangdu, but it was also a route to land in Dasheng-

Seeing the Japanese soldier who reported the news, Fujiwara Maro only hoped that good news would come, and he almost grabbed the soldier's collar: "How is the battle situation in Runzhou?" Win or lose?! ”

If it is common sense, it must be a victory!

But today, the sudden reversal of the battle situation here has made Fujiwara Maro no longer believe in the existence of "common sense".

"General...... I'll wait...... Yu Runzhou was defeated! The Japanese soldiers, who were extremely difficult to come to report the news, were also frightened by the situation in front of them, and their voices became more and more trembling at the hideous face of Maro Kamijiwara: "...... Runzhou, there, there is the Xuance army to help! ”

The soldier's trembling voice trembled even more when he spoke of the "Xuan Ce Army".

Those three words are the shame and nightmare that have hung over their heads for more than ten years, and even more so for Fujiwara Maro.

"-What did you say?!" Fujiwara Maro almost clenched the soldier's neck, as if he was going to break it in the next moment: "Xuan Ce Army?!" How could there be a Xuan Ce army in Runzhou! ”

"They...... What they hung was indeed the old military flag of the Xuan Ce Army! ”

(Note: Double-acting piston bellows originated in the Tang and Song dynasties.)
