329 Thunderbolt duds

Just when the guards in the water army camp were still surprised, Gan Ning and the others drove the fishing boat to rush towards the water army camp.

A moment later, Gan Ning and others ignited the flammable materials on the fishing boat, and then quickly jumped into the water, the burning fishing boat rushed towards the water army camp like a headless fly, and the hull just touched the water army camp fence, only to hear a violent sound of "boom", everything around was blown apart, the fence was blown to pieces, sawdust flew around, and those guards were blown up in pieces, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

Then the fishing boat that rushed over rushed directly into the water army camp along the blown up, and then there was a deafening explosion sound, like thunder falling, the shock wave generated by the explosion made the guards in the water army camp feel a great burning feeling, and the soldiers who were closer to the source of the explosion were directly blown away, and the flesh and blood on their bodies were blurred, and they fell directly into the Yellow River, and the blood dyed the waters in this area red.

Several warships parked in the naval camp were also blown apart, and the fishing boats themselves were burning, and once they exploded, the fire spread out, and sporadic sparks flew to the rest of the warships, immediately igniting the sails and curtains on the warships.

Then, the fire spread to all sides, and all the warships of all sizes docked in the naval camp were implicated, and in just a moment, the naval camp was a sea of fire.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! The officers and men of the navy shouted loudly and hurried to the rescue, and the entire navy camp was in chaos.

And right now. Fifty ships appeared at the level of the Yellow River. With lightning speed. Towards both sides of the water army camp, it rushed over.

Immediately afterwards, the building boat that Zhang Yan was riding, as well as the fighting boats that Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were riding, appeared on the river one after another, followed closely behind the ship, and sailed towards the opposite bank.

Guo Huai, who was standing on the shore, witnessed these situations with his own eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning. It was only then that he realized that this was an attack that had been planned for a long time.

When Guo Huai saw the enemy's large and small warships appearing on the river one after another, he had already realized the seriousness of the situation, and this was the beginning of the enemy's attack.

"Prepare for war!" Guo Huai immediately shouted to the generals behind him, and the various departments began to actively arrange on the shore, arranging troops between the two barriers, swords rattling, and waiting for the battle, ready to resist the enemy army to the shore.

In the middle of the Yellow River. The team led by Lu Meng quickly rushed over and smashed the naval camp to pieces. The warboard was stuck at the fence of the navy, and stopped safely, Lu Meng shouted, and the soldiers on the ship immediately jumped onto the deck of the navy barracks, raised the weapons in their hands, and killed in the navy barracks.

At the same time, Gan Ning and the others also swam over from the water, dived to the bottom of the river, and swam directly towards the center of the water military camp. As they stayed underwater, they could faintly see the movement of the enemy troops on the water.

The enemy is fighting fires and is unprepared for underwater movements.

Fifty soldiers with excellent water skills and skills, under the leadership of Gan Ning, directly surfaced, holding a crossbow in their hands, and shot at the enemy soldiers who were walking back and forth on the deck.

More than 30 enemy soldiers were pierced by an arrow and fell into the water, while Gan Ning climbed onto the deck with everyone, drew out the short blade he carried with him, and killed the enemy army, joining Lu Meng and others.

The soldiers in the water army camp, under the double threat of the fire and the front and back attacks of Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others, only lasted for a moment, and then declared failure, and many people began to jump into the water and flee to the shore, but most of them were blocked in the camp by Gan Ning and Lu Meng, and were all killed by their group of fierce soldiers.

Gan Ning, LΓΌ Meng and others seized the water army camp, and began to extinguish the fire, and when Zhang Yan's army arrived at the water army camp, the fire had been controlled, and the water army camp also became a fortress for Zhang Yan and others to carry out the landing operation.

Zhang Yan led the army to arrive, and did not rush to carry out the landing operation, but let the warships drop the huge anchors and dock at the edge of the naval army camp to confront the enemy troops on the shore.

Zhang Yan stood at the top of the boat, and saw the situation on the shore clearly, and when he saw Guo Huai arrayed on the river bank, waiting for the battle, he ordered the whole army to dock near the naval barracks.

There is no rush to attack, not not to attack.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yan issued a new order, and the flag bearer waved the flag to convey the order to the various fighting ships.

After a while, I saw flags flying on the fighting ships, conveying the new orders issued by Zhang Yan to the various warships.

After a stick of incense, except for Zhang Yan's building ship, the rest of the warships made adjustments, and moved slightly one after another, arranging together with Zhang Yan's building ship to form a straight line.

Once the ships were firmly docked, the sailors began to put planks between the ships and set up a passage between the ships.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers pushed the catapults out of the cabin, fixed them neatly to the deck, and adjusted the direction of the attack.

The rest of the soldiers took out boxes of heavy things from the cabin, placed them lightly beside the catapults, and then opened the wooden boxes, which contained black iron balls, and on one side of the iron balls was a long thread, which was connected to the iron balls, and was completely encased in them.

The iron balls were taken out by the soldiers and placed in the leather trough of the catapult, while a soldier waited by the side with a fire fold.

Everything was ready, the two hundred catapults were secured, the two hundred iron balls were loaded, and the ships waved flags for instructions on the next step.

Zhang Yan, who was standing on the boat, laughed slightly after getting the content of the flag, and said to the flag bearer next to him: "Give the order to attack!" ”

"No!"

The flag-bearers waved their flags and waved their words, and the boats, seeing the flags fluttering on the ships, began to attack the shore.

The position where Zhang Yan and the others were located was about two hundred steps away from the shore, and about three hundred steps away from the place where Guo Huai and the others lined up to defend the palace. However, the range of catapults is much greater than that of a bow and arrow, between 300 and 350 paces, and some can even shoot up to 400 paces.

Guo Huai arrayed a hundred paces away, and many archers were arranged in front and on both wings, the cavalry was behind the archers, and the rest of the infantry was behind the cavalry, the purpose was to shoot with bows and arrows after the enemy landed on the shore, and when the enemy approached, the cavalry attacked, and then the infantry, interlocking layer by layer, resisting with all their might.

However, although Guo Huai's idea is good, it is a pity that Zhang Yan does not buy his account.

Zhang Yan has his own plans, and the secret weapon he has made with great difficulty is to be used, and the fishing boat just now is just a small test. Now is the time for Zhang Yan to truly show the true power of this secret weapon.

A moment later, the warships lined up on the surface of the Yellow River began to attack.

The soldier with the fire fold in his hand took the lead in igniting the fuse of the iron ball in the leather trough, and the fuse began to burn, slowly burning towards the iron ball.

At this time, the catapult, operated by more than a dozen soldiers at the same time, directly launched the iron ball in the leather trough.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

For a while, two hundred black round iron balls flew into the air one after another, constantly tumbling in the air at a rapid speed, and flew towards Guo Huai's army arrayed on the shore.

Guo Huai saw 200 black objects flying in the air, and knew that they were stones fired by the enemy's catapults, so in order to prevent anyone from being injured, he immediately shouted to the people behind him: "Disperse!" Collision avoidance! ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers dispersed, and two hundred black iron balls fell directly on the sand on the shore, making a muffled sound one after another.

Some soldiers did not run away, but were hit by an iron ball, and immediately their heads were broken and bleeding, and their brains were smeared all over the ground, and they died.

Zhang Yan waited on the boat with a happy face, but after a while, there was not a single sound from the shore, and the smile on Zhang Yan's face became stiff.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, and the iron balls did not react at all.

"Nima, this is not scientific! What about the explosion effect I want? Zhang Yan asked himself.

This secret weapon was personally researched by Zhang Yan, and after repeated shiyan, gunpowder was packed in a secret iron ball, and then the fuse was ignited, and after a while, it would produce a violent explosion, and its power was similar to that of a grenade.

However, there was no movement on the shore at all, except for a few people who had been stoned to death.

Zhang Yan didn't believe in this evil and thought that this was a mistake, maybe something was wrong, so he ordered the second wave of thunderbolts to be fired!

Thunderbolt is the name given by Zhang Yan to this newly created weapon.

So, the soldier began to follow the same procedure and fired a second wave of thunderbolts.

However, these thunderbolts, after they landed, did not explode.

What's going on?

Zhang Yan was anxious, and asked people to launch the third, fourth, and fifth waves of thunderbolts, but there was no effect, and a thousand thunderbolts sank into the sea like stones.

"! What went wrong? ”

Zhang Yan immediately came to the deck, and he personally directed the soldiers to fire another thunderbolt, while his eyes kept on the thunderbolt.

When the thunderbolt was ignited and then fired, Zhang Yan saw that the ignited lead of the thunderbolt was extinguished for no reason during the high-speed operation.

I'm afraid this is the result of the thunderbolt not being able to do anything, right?

"Fuck! After all, knockoffs are knockoffs, and they are not very good, it seems that they must be artificially ignited. Zhang Yan found the reason why the thunderbolt became a dud, and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
