Chapter 540

Limited knowledge limited Darius's imagination. He didn't know what was going on on the walls, and it was impossible for a trebuchet to attack a target that was more than two thousand paces, let alone shoot so accurately. The only thing I know now is that it takes a bit long to reload.

Now it is not the barracks that are hit, but all the ships that are trying to get closer to the coast.

Looking at his own warship, one after another exploded, and then instantly turned into a pile of wood chips. Darius had a chill down his spine, and he feared that more than half of his men would not be able to return to Persia.

"Didn't you say that this thing only has a range of five miles? Now look, that's six or seven miles away......! Cheng Chumo was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground, he never thought that something could shoot so far, and it could also hit accurately.

"Grandpa Guo said that there are five miles, probably because of the improvement of gunpowder. Anyway, this thing can hit this far, so it's good now. We can strike at all ships near the coast, and I'll see what the Persians can do. Let your men prepare a lot of shackles, we will have a lot of prisoners after this battle. Ling Jing saw one enemy ship after another bursting one after another, and smiled like a fox stealing a fat chicken.

I've been patient for the other day, just for this moment. The more the Persians landed, the better, and the eight cannons on the head of the city would cut off all their retreat. As long as the ships that are delusional about getting close to the coast, they will be hit mercilessly. Ling Jing didn't think that the speed of gunpowder loading would be slower than that of the Persians boarding the ship.

Even if he relied on the tactics of the ship and the sea, taking advantage of the Tang people's loading time to transport away some people, the ship was bombed one less than one.

In front of you is an impregnable fortress, and behind you is an endless sea. His own warship is close at hand, but he can only risk his life to rescue his brothers who are trapped on the beach. The Persians were stunned at once! The Great Food Empire had never fought such a battle, and the stupid commander had brought his army to a desperate position.

"Hey......! It's a pity that the Datang didn't arrive, otherwise none of them would want to leave. Cheng Chumo took a sip hard, and his sigh was full of deep disappointment.

Since he could walk, he was dragged by his father to practice martial arts. At the age of fourteen, he entered the military camp to mix, always wanting to rely on his martial arts to become a peerless general of the empire. Fight the toughest enemies and claim the brightest honors.

But now? Everything has changed, and personal prowess is no longer the main factor on the battlefield. The guy who can manipulate weapons is the one who can handle it, and in this way, the war will become a competition of weapons, not a competition of martial arts. Your own efforts will become useless. Helplessness deeply tormented this imperial general, and the future was as thick as the fog on the sea.

The artillery kept firing, and the Persians kept dying. Close to the coast, there are broken logs everywhere. And those who floated on the sea, and those who were lucky died. Those who are unlucky survive for a long time. They are said to be unlucky, and that is because there are countless sharks entrenched in the strait.

Speaking of which, this is still a sin created by Yun Hao, in order to destroy the corpse. And he threw it into the sea, and it was a long time. In the calm strait, there are a large number of sharks. And, of course, there are just as many saltwater crocodiles close to the coast.

This thing is very big, and Cheng Chumo has even seen it five or six zhang long. These guys seem to be very smart, because these guys who float in the sea like driftwood never attack the Tang Dynasty soldiers. But those natives are always taken away for one or two tooth sacrifices.

The Persians drove out the natives, and now the unfortunate ones have become Persians.

The shark haunt is deep water, and the Persians can't help it. Crocodiles are found in shallow waters, and no matter what religion they believe, they are still sentient animals.

Look at those guys with big mouths, recklessly devouring the corpses of brothers, friends, and even loved ones. The anger of the Persians is out of reach, and they can't reach the Tang people behind the high walls, and they can't reach you?

They were wrong again, the sword slashed at the heavy crocodile skin, and it could not break through the crocodile's protection at all. On the contrary, the angry crocodile was furious, and Cheng Chumo saw it in the telescope. The crocodile, which was five or six feet long, flew three people with one tail. A huge crocodile with a mouth in its mouth, slashing at a person's leg. The man's thighs were separated from his body. That thigh was swallowed in one bite.

The guy who lost his leg, the screams could even be heard by Cheng Chumo several miles away. The painful appearance of the wounded soldier hurts when he looks at it through the binoculars!

The Persians learned to behave, and the big ship began to shrink back. Trying to drive out of the range of the artillery, they didn't want to die. If you want to withdraw the people on land, you can only use a dinghy to transfer them one at a time. Although this is inefficient, no matter how accurate the artillery is, it is impossible to accurately hit a moving boat.

Everyone wanted to survive, so the dinghy became very crowded. The waterline has reached its most dangerous level, and if there were now a little bigger waves, the dinghy would definitely capsize.

Just because the artillery doesn't hit doesn't mean there isn't danger.

I don't know if it's because the corpses are tired of eating or if the sharks like something more challenging. A huge shark overturned a dinghy. More than a dozen people above fell into the water and fluttered hard!

It's good that you don't flutter, this flutter attracts a lot of sharks. Sharks began to bite these people, as soon as they bit through one place. There will be blood donations, and there will be more sharks this time.

Sharks eat very orderly, one bite at a time, a large living person was torn to pieces in an instant. The larger pieces of flesh are devoured by the sharks, and the smaller pieces of meat are cheaper for the smaller ones. Cheng swore that he would never eat any fish caught in the strait again. Eating this stuff is not much different from eating people.

The dinghy was constantly overturned, and people kept falling into the water. It seems that sharks are similar to humans, and people like to eat seafood. Sharks also like to eat fresh, but it doesn't seem appropriate to call people land fresh. Ling Jing felt that it was more appropriate to call them Da Shi Xian or Persian Xian.

"Don't go to sea in a dinghy in the future, it's too dangerous!" Holding the binoculars and looking at them, Ling Jing muttered. The old fellow liked nothing more than to fish in the strait in a dinghy, and now he was going to get rid of it. Falling into the sea is the world of sharks, and they don't care if you are a Persian or a Tang.

Darius had already fled to a large ship, and his heart was bleeding as he watched his men shouting, struggling, and cursing.

Just yesterday, he was hopeful of victory. Even this morning, he felt that victory was within reach.

The Don has gunpowder, and he also has gunpowder. The Tang people have trebuchets and they themselves have trebuchets. The Tang people have fire oil, and they have more fire oil than they do. But why? Why did the Tang people come up with something new!

It's terrifying, that thing can actually strike accurately within six miles. With a trebuchet of more than 1,000 paces, even the most experienced pitcher can't hit every shot.

The loud explosion was still spreading, and the Tang people didn't seem to plan to rest. It wasn't until sunset that the Tang artillery stopped. There is no moon tonight, and nothing can be seen in the darkness of the beach. Looking at the dark beach, Darius finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly a huge ball of fire erupted in the sky, and then a hot air balloon fell straight into the sea.

Everyone hasn't woken up from the surprise yet, it's the second, the third ......!

That thing from the Don can hit a hot air balloon? Darius's eyes were about to widen, and the Persian hot air balloons were all in his place. For this raid, he even intercepted a hot air balloon that would have belonged to Yusuf. But now!

Fires flashed one after another, and airships fell into the sea or on the beach. The people above will either become floating corpses or become a lump of flesh that is soft to step on.

Suddenly I heard a loud roar in my ears, it was an airship! It turned out to be an airship, and the Tang people dispatched the airship.

The airships that had not been dispatched during the day had finally been dispatched, and now Darius understood why the Tang people's airships were painted black. The flame of the airship is encased in the machine, and it is not visible from the outside at all. The Persian hot air balloons were more primitive, and the thick flames that erupted from time to time became the best targets in the night sky.

The hot air balloon didn't last for a cup of tea, and it was wiped out. And the eight-bull crossbow on these hot air balloons did not even show signs of launching, and they could not see the position of the airship clearly in the dark night.

When the hot air balloon is gone, the ship at sea is out of luck.

The airship ignored the Persian soldiers on the beach and pounced directly on the Persian fleet in the sea.

It was a blow called by the troops, and the Persian fleet had no idea about the control of the lights. When sailing on the sea, the lights were originally a means of communication.

On the dark sea, a bright light is the target. The airship just flew over the Persians and dropped the bomb. A bomb weighing 100 pounds was dropped from an altitude of two or three hundred meters. By weight alone, it smashed through the upper deck. Before penetrating the hull, the gunpowder core burned out. After a loud explosion, the heat wave even shook the airship a little. The helpless airship can only pull up the height!

The efficiency of the airship was very high, and the loaded bombs were thrown out. Return to the city to continue loading, then continue wandering the sea. If you see a place where there is a light, throw it down, and then there will be a loud explosion.

This night, the diligent airship tossed three or four times. God knows how many Persian ships were reduced to smithereens, anyway when the sun came out the next morning. There was a lot less Persian fleet in the strait, and a lot more broken wood.

There were a lot of corpses floating on the surface of the sea, and of course there were living people holding logs. They weren't too worried about sharks or crocodiles, because after yesterday's big fight, these guys were basically full.
