Chapter 715 Asymmetrical Combat

(I wish you all money in advance, a house, and a woman! You already have it, and you will have everything right away! Thank you for your strong support from all book friends over the past year, thank you everyone!)

When the cannon fired, there were ten thousand taels of gold...

The cannons were so exciting that they were fired just now that a hundred flying cannons on dozens of ships roared like thunder. In half an hour, all the three thousand flying fires they carried were burned.

"Damn it, I now understand the other meaning of the cannon fire, 3,000 fires, 60,000 kilograms of gunpowder, the 18th Army of the Jianghai Town Township Army will be allocated for the year. Fuck!" Deng Huan's face was still flushed, and he was extremely excited to stare at the Huainan Army fleet in a messy waves and smoke.

The power of gunpowder weapons is indeed good, but even in the Qin army, there are huge objective reasons. The most important thing is that the output cannot keep up with it. The production of the Ordnance Firearms Bureau in the month may only be exhausted in a few rounds in the battle. Another thing is that it is greatly affected by the weather. Once it rains, no matter how many firearms you have in your hands, they will have to fall into bed, and may even be damp.

At this moment, Deng Huan was working hard in Jianghai Town and found a hundred thunder cannons. However, in the battle at this time, in less than a short while, 3,000 kilograms of gunpowder were exhausted.

Wu Qian's face was also red at this time, and he was still shocked by the flying thunder cannon.

I was disappointed when I heard that the bullet had run out.

The more than a thousand large and small Huainan ships on the sea have been almost lost 20% in this time, and nearly 200 ships have been destroyed. It is said that the results of the battle are abundant. Before they get close, they have killed 200 ships and 30,000 people with almost zero losses.

But this kind of fighting style is indeed a bit unbearable. In a moment, all the ammunition and 60,000 kilograms of gunpowder were drained.

"Brother Ziming, don't be anxious, let's see the combat effectiveness of our navy next." After saying that, Wu Qian turned his head and shouted to the commander: "The fleet slowly retreats and seizes the upstream!"

After ordering, the first fleet of Lingbo Army immediately retreated quickly, and while sailing westward, continuing to distance from the Huainan fleet.

On the north river, Liang Zhang stood on a flat-bottomed Bian boat, holding a thousand-mile mirror in his hand, his face turned ashen.

This battle was a chorus, and before they could get close to each other, they lost more than 200 boats of all sizes and more than 3,000 people.

"Sir Liang, the bandit army is taking advantage of the situation and must prevent fire attack!" Bi Shiduo reminded carefully behind. The sharpest weapon in surface combat is fire attack.

Liang Zhang also knew this and "accelerate the encirclement!" Although the fierce shelling of the Qin army just now made the Huainan army pale, at this time, they could only encircle them.

On the Jianghai, Wu Qian, holding a thousand-mile mirror, sneered at the big and small ships rushing up like an ant, and was indescribably mocked. Since the Feng family, Wang family and the three families of Duli Town were destroyed, there have been no enemies on the sea.

There were also naval commanders in Huainan and Zhenhai, but Wu Qian and others never admitted that they were also called naval commanders.

"Release the thunder at the bottom of the water!" Wu Qian shouted in a deep voice.

The flags were flying, and the eighteen ships were originally built for building ships during the battle, and the boats of the fighting frigates immediately sailed to the lower direction of the fleet, lined up in a row.

Eighteen walking boats began to release thunder at the bottom of the water.

The so-called underwater thunder, as the name suggests, is a water weapon specially designed by the Ordnance Bureau for the navy.

At first, the Ordnance Department developed a weapon for the infantry, which was the invincible mine cannon. Later, it designed underwater mines based on the mine cannon.

It uses a wooden box as a thunder shell, putty sticks to the joints, and puts black gunpowder is installed inside, and its firing device is detonated by a person with a long rope. There are three iron anchors under the wooden box to control the legend of the thunder under the water in the water.

At the same time, there is another type of drifting underwater thunder, which uses incense burning as a regular fuse, known as the Underwater Dragon King Cannon. Later, the Ordnance Department continued to improve the mines, and now the latest model has been improved to trigger the drifting of the line-to-line thunder.

Hearing Wu Qian's order, the boat started to lay lightning. There were two types of thunders, the Dragon King Cannon under the water, and the oxen that was floating on the water surface.

At present, the Qin Navy had seized the upstream direction. Half of the thunder laid by the boats was in the water and half was on the water surface, and floated along the water toward the Huainan ship coming.

"Fuck." Deng Huan recognized the thunder that was being clothed on the boat at a glance. It was the latest type of lightning that drifted from the thread. "Wu Junmen, I didn't expect that you have already obtained the latest underwater thunder that was being punished. Nian!"

Wu Qian smiled, "Mr. Deng is the master of military affairs. He is equipped with a hundred flying thunder cannons in silence."

Although the two generals were not surprised when they were on the battlefield, they talked freely, and no one took the thousands of enemy ships and tens of thousands of enemy troops on the other side seriously.

However, in the eyes of the Huainan Army, the Qin fleet seemed to have been exhausted at this time, and was no longer as arrogant as before, and was desperately running away. Many soldiers who were beaten to raise their heads and begged grandpa to sue were now angry and desperately ordered to pursue them, ready to regain their face.

"What is that?" The Huainan soldiers rushing to the front of the ships as they watched the Qin army ships in front constantly throwing some wooden boxes into the water and floating up, which was a little strange.

Could it be a fireboat? But why is it so small and not many, so there is no fire?

While thinking about this, the wooden box in front had already arrived near, and a soldier on the boat raised the spear in his hand and walked forward with a bucket.

I didn't respond, and I stabbed another bucket, but still didn't find anything.

Several more soldiers also stabbed them with spears, trying to see what was inside the box. Just here, the dozen soldiers on the boat felt less stable, and then a white light flashed in front of them, followed by a roar in their ears, and a buzzing sound in their minds, and then they felt like they were flying into the sky.

The power of the thunder float is not less than that of the flying thunder cannon. The ten on the boat and the ten on the boat were shattered on the spot!

Huge splashes, with bright blood.

When the mines rang, countless soldiers from both the Qin army and the Huainan army stared at each other with their mouths wide open, unable to believe it.

"Retreat quickly!"

Liang Xiang shouted pale. He finally understood what the box that Qin Jun put into the water was. Unfortunately, he was already a little late at this time.

Eighteen boats have already put down thousands of underwater thunders, which are spread all over the river and flow down. However, the Huainan Army's ships are also spread all over the river. After the first mine sounds, more mines begin to ring one after another. Even if Liang Zhang ordered the retreat, it is too late. Not only are the water mines covered with mines, but there are also many mines drifting down under the water. Larger ships will sound as soon as they touch it.

The rising flames and white water columns were really spectacular.

In the eyes of the Qin army soldiers, everyone cheered. But the Huainan army soldiers who were in it felt like they fell into hell.

Wu Qian looked at this situation but did not intend to give up.

"Send the order, prepare for the lightning throwing cart, and the machine fires the divine fire!"

As this order sounded, it was truly a fatal blow to the Huainan Army fleet.

The thunder-throwing cars on these large warships were already ready to take advantage of the fire and began to launch Greek fires. Cans of Greek fires were shot out without directly hitting the enemy ships, because Greek fires burned even harder when they encountered water. The broken ships and soldiers who fell into the water, carrying a little bit of divine fire, kept going down the river, burning ships and people when they met.

The entire Yangtze River water surface was full of tragedy.

Liang Zhang, who had finally escaped back to the north shore, was still trembling at this time. He hunted all his life, and finally let the geese peck his eyes.

Less than half of the more than a thousand boats fled back to the north shore, losing almost 600 boats. In just half a day, he had no more than 10,000 people, nearly 20,000. Even though he had already tried to test in this first round of attack, he sent almost all auxiliary soldiers, but he also sent five thousand combat soldiers. Now, there are no three thousand combat soldiers, more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 600 ships.

On the Jianghai, Wu Qian, who had just won a big victory, looked very good. After defeating this battle, he still had a big victory.

But this battle did not destroy the enemy, it could only be said to be a small defeat. As long as the Huainan army insisted on attacking, the next battle would not be so easy.

"The ammunition from the flying thunder cannon has been exhausted." Deng Huan smacked his lips, "How many underwater thunder and divine fires do Wu Junmen still have?"

Wu Qian smiled bitterly: "When Zhang Junmen led the Anlan Army and the other three Lingbo Army squadrons to head north, he took most of the ammunition away. In fact, what I just shot out was already all in my hands. Damn, I couldn't kill all those who were raised after all."

Deng Huan's expression was a little bad after hearing the news. However, he persuaded: "The result is already good. We almost destroyed more than 10,000 Huainan Army without any damage. Even without firearms, we still have bows and crossbows. If we really can't stop it at sea, we can still retreat ashore and fight on the island, and we still have 10,000 troops."

North bank, Huainan Military Camp.

Liang Zhang, Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan, Li Hanzhi and other generals all had their faces and were full of shock.

The battle today really made them frightened. None of the generals here are soft persimmons. Liang Zhang is known as the number one general under Gao Pian. Which of them are Bi Shiduo and Li Hanzhi are good at being a good hawthorn, and which one of them is not from the bloody storm.

But as today, even the opponent's hair was not caught, but he had already lost more than 10,000 soldiers and generals. No one had ever fought this battle.

"Do you still have to fight?" Qin Yan's low voice broke the silence.

No one answered his words, but in fact Qin Yan was also very clear that no matter what, he could only fight.

Fifty thousand people beat ten thousand people, but they were defeated. But if they continue to attack, as long as they defeat Hu Douzhou, they would be considered as making up for their mistakes. If they just return, I am afraid that anyone will not be able to bear this responsibility in front of Gao Dashu.

Li Hanzhi touched his big bald head, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Damn it, this Qin army is really evil, and all kinds of fatal things are emerging one after another."

"Just gunpowder." Bi Shiduo had never seen gunpowder, but he had never seen gunpowder play like this. In the battle today, it completely overturned the status and image of gunpowder in his heart. It was true that when gunpowder came out, no one wanted to stop it.

Liang Zhang gradually calmed down and said with a dark face: "It's indeed gunpowder. Although it's a bit outrageous and different from previous cognition, it's still gunpowder. This gunpowder is so powerful, but it definitely has shortcomings. As long as we grasp this shortcomings, we will definitely break it."
