(Thank you Perfect Zhantong and Jeamo for your support, thank you!) ）

On the surface of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Hu Tuzhou, under the rising red sun, the First Fleet of the Lingbo Army led by Wu Qian was facing the Huainan Army led by Liang Zhang.

Compared with the huge Wuya Building ship, the three-story big bucket ship, the ironclad sea falcon ship and other large ships on Wu Qian's side, Liang Zhang's side is almost all small fishing boats, as well as many Bianboats. From a distance, it looks like a swarm of ants rushing towards a swarm of beetles.

Wu Qian, who had dozens of large warships and thousands of naval troops, was unwilling to give up the water superiority of the Qin army and took the initiative to meet the enemy. For the Qin army on the island, the water surface of the Yangtze River is the best barrier, and if the Huainan army is allowed to land on the island easily, it will have to fall into a bitter battle.

Although the ships of the Huainan Army are small, there are many of them, so many that they cover the sky and the sun, and thousands of sails plug the river.

However, Wu Qian was not afraid at all, looking at these overwhelming ships on the opposite side, he couldn't help but think of the scene many years ago, when he followed Feng Ming and led hundreds of warships to attack Li Jing.

Although Da Xie Yan's fleet was not as many ships as there were in front of him, its strength was much stronger than that of these fishing boat sampans. But in the end, he was not defeated by Li Jing, and several times in a row, all of them were defeated. The reason is not that Li Jing's warships are bigger and more fierce, but that Li Jing has a naval war artifact, Shenhuo.

As soon as the divine fire comes out, who will compete?

Speaking of which, the sailors have not really fought a naval battle for a long time, from the north to the south, from the Liaohai Sea to the East China Sea and then to the South China Sea, the sailors of the Qin army are invincible. It has not been a battle for a long time, and it makes the Huainan army think that they can deal with the handsome sailors with some small sampans, which is really ridiculous.

Although he only has a detachment in his hands today, he can still teach them a good lesson.

The fleets of both sides are getting closer. Although Liang Zhang is known as the first general under Gao Biao. But in fact, hundreds of battles have been fought on land. But he really hasn't fought a water war. In the face of the Qin army's more than 100 ships, his tactic was very simple, he commanded the boundless ships to rush up, preparing to bite the elephant to death.

"The Huainan Army is no more than Erer, just with these small sampans, they still want to compete with us on the water, hahaha." Wu Qianha, Ha Lu, Ha Da Lang smiled. The warships of the Lingbo army are all large ships, especially on the extremely wide water such as the mouth of the Yangtze River, which can be described as a fish in water. And the other party is all small boats, which is immediate.

"The elder of the Wu Army, the head of the water army, teaching these stinky fish and rotten shrimp is really killing chickens with a knife. Why don't you give them a chance at the next one and let them try the new improved killer under it! Deng Huan stood behind and smiled, as if the countless ships opposite were already his thing.

Wu Qian also knew about Deng Huan's past, and knew that he was a madman, but he was a first-class expert in firearms. Although he has a divine fire in his hands. However, he is not willing to take it out and use it easily, I heard that Deng Huan has a big killing weapon. immediately smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then look at Brother Ziming's big killer." ”

Deng Huan smiled, he had planned to make a cannon, but he was unsuccessful repeatedly, and in the end, Li Jing plucked him and made him change his mind.

At this time, he waved his hand, and immediately a group of soldiers carried up a row of large iron cylinders and set them up on the fifth deck of the Jianghai.

Each of these huge iron cylinders has a diameter of about one foot, and the barrel body is about three feet, and the whole barrel is very light, compared with the eight thousand catties of copper cannons that Deng Huan tossed at the beginning, it is really too simple.

Wu Qian also looked at these big iron cylinders with some curiosity, not understanding what he was doing with these things.

Deng Huan smiled and sold Guanzi.

"Master Wu will be able to see the power in a while."

A row of eight large iron cylinders made of stainless steel had been placed upwards, and then a soldier put twenty pounds of explosives into it.

In front of each cylinder is an observer with a telescope, carefully observing the distance between the enemy and the enemy.

Seeing that the enemy ship had entered within a hundred feet, a loud boom sounded, and puffs of white smoke rose from the deck of the building, and then the whole ship shook.

Wu Qian grabbed the railing next to him and looked up, only to see that several extremely high water columns had already flown up among the enemy ships in the distance, and it seemed that there were still ships that had been shot.

He opened his mouth wide, a little incredulous, this is a distance of nearly a hundred feet. Even the general's cannon loaded on the building ship is only this distance. But the general had to use more than 200 people to launch it at a time, and this iron cylinder was very light, and two or three people could operate it.

He didn't care about the roar in his ears, and hurriedly raised the clairvoyant mirror to look forward, only to see that the round of ten cannons just now had hit a boat, and it seemed that one of the shots had directly hit a boat, and the more than 20 people on that boat were directly broken into corpses, and blood stained the river red. Although the other nine cannons did not hit directly, the huge 20-pound explosive bag exploded in the fleet, and the huge explosion impact was also extremely amazing. Almost all of the dozens of small boats that rushed to the front were overturned, and even those who got closer were directly shocked and bleeding.

However, this effect did not seem to satisfy Deng Huan, he personally walked over there, asked the soldier to reload again, and then gave two thumbs up, and measured and aimed there.

The other gunners did the same as Deng Huan, taking measurements with their thumbs, adjusting the angle of the barrel elevation while measuring, and after a while, Deng Huan ordered the ignition.

This time, it was not only this ship that fired cannons, but also another building ship, as well as the four fighting boats, and eight sea falcons also fired cannons together.

As many as dozens of large barrels launched a deafening cannon sound at the same time, and puffs of gunpowder smoke floated on the surface of the water, and then the dense boats that had rushed into the firing range on the opposite side were instantly wiped out, and with the rise of the water columns, a large number of fragments of limbs flew up, and blood splattered.

In this round alone, you can clearly see the huge fleet on the opposite side, and one piece has been missing.

Wu Qian looked at those big tubes with fiery eyes, this thing was fiercer than the slapping rods and catapults on the ship.

A range of 100 zhang, and it also has the ability to shoot continuously, although it doesn't seem to be accurate, and it consumes a lot of gunpowder, but the effect is still not said. One round of artillery bombardment is enough to make the enemy fearful. Even if you hit one out of ten shots, it would be terrible. Medium. There are almost no survivors left on the other side's entire ship.

"Brother Ziming. What kind of new equipment is this, so powerful? ”

Deng Huan was extremely calm on the surface, but in fact, he was also turbulent in his heart, he didn't expect that in actual combat, this thing was so powerful, it really deserved to be the big killer that King Qin said.

"Hehe, this is called the Flying Thunder Cannon."

Wu Qian patted Deng Huan's arm and praised repeatedly: "The thunderbolt fire and earth-shaking thunder that Brother Ziming researched earlier are already extremely powerful. I didn't expect that such a powerful flying thunder cannon was researched again, and it was really a god. ”

Deng Huan was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said: "Actually, I can't get these alone, just like the thunderbolt fire and the earth-shattering thunder, they all rely on the guidance of King Qin, and they can only be found out after the last time." ”

Wu Qian was stunned, but he imagined that the Divine Fire Heavenly Fire that King Qin had made at the beginning was no worse than this.

Liang Zhang over there was completely stunned. When have you ever seen this kind of play?

Nowadays, Spitfire is not a mystery. Because Duli Town also had this formula at the beginning, soon the imperial court and some big warlords knew about this formula and developed it privately. The key is still the assembly issue. For example, the Shence Army of the imperial court is equipped with a lot. And Gao Yu's troops are also equipped with some. However, they did not have such large-scale equipment as Li Jing, not because they did not know the power of this weapon, but because they did not have enough iron ore, saltpeter, sulfur and other materials, and they did not have a complete set of mature production workshops, so they could not produce them in large quantities.

But the water division's hundred cannons just now still scared Liang Zhang, a distance of 100 zhang, even if there is a flying fire, but such a long distance has to be launched. But the catapults a hundred feet away are all big guys, where are the ordinary ships equipped.

But the other party actually fired such a scale of flying fire just now, which was beyond his cognition.

However, Liang Zhang was also the first general under Gao Yu, and immediately came back to his senses and ordered loudly: "Disperse, disperse and rush over!" ”

No matter how powerful Spitfire is, there are only a limited number of them. The advantage of the Huainan army is in numbers, as long as it can rush over and entangle the Qin warships, it can jump to the gang to fight, and even seize the ship.

Deng Huan on the Jianghai smiled, "I'll be afraid if it's scattered, so I'll let you compensate the Heavenly Maiden for scattering flowers!" ”

"What do you mean by the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers?" Wu Qian asked.

Deng Huan directly brought a large string of thunderbolts, there were ten of them, each two catties, and a string of ten was twenty catties, which was equivalent to a bomb bag.

The gunners simply loaded the concentrated thunderbolt into the big iron barrel, then took aim, and ignited the propellant again.

There was another loud bang, and the cluster of thunderbolts had already flown towards the rushing ship, and when they saw that the thunder was about to fall into the water, it suddenly exploded in volley, and ten thunderbolts exploded in the air above the water, and suddenly countless fragments splashed down like hailstones.

The area of ten zhang suddenly became a debris splashing coverage area, and the small boats below were basically unprotected, and the sudden blow swept away the sailors and soldiers on the ships within the ten zhang range below.

A stream of exclamations, screams, and wails rang out one after another.

Deng Zhao waved his hand, and suddenly the war drums and horns sounded continuously, and all boats had to order the use of the Heavenly Maiden to scatter flowers.

Although the momentum of this blow was not as fierce as before, the killing effect was even more powerful than the previous one.

In the previous shelling, those who hit under one shot would die, but this day the girl scattered flowers, and the killing range was wider, but it was a large number of kills rather than kills. However, in this case, even if you don't die, you can not suffer injuries in one or two places, except for immediately quitting the battle and getting treatment, otherwise, you will not last long, and eventually you will either die of excessive blood loss or die of infection.

Wu Qian swallowed his saliva and felt a little dry, "It turns out that this is the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers." ”

At this time of cold weapons, the appearance of this kind of flying thunder cannon is indeed frightening, with a range of 100 zhang and easier operation, this heavy weapon has almost become a single weapon. Especially at this time at sea, no matter how scattered the ships are, there are dozens and hundreds of people on each boat, and a single shot hits almost the entire ship is destroyed.

Deng Huan was so happy that he shook the order flag again and again to open fire, and the Huainan army cried and called his mother with one shell after another.

Just when Liang Zhang's face was already pale and he wanted to retreat, the shelling on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

Wu Qian was still holding a clairvoyant mirror and shouting: "Brother Ziming, a few more shots!" ”

Deng Huan laughed a few times, and said a little embarrassedly: "Master Wu, the bomb has run out, and it's up to you next." ”

The flying thunder is really powerful, but the consumption is also very huge, such a moment of hard work, Wu Qian and Deng Huan had a good time, and as a result, all the gunpowder they brought was gone, and even the thunderbolt and the earth-shattering thunder were all defeated.

Liang Zhang, who was seeing an anomaly on the battlefield, quickly discovered it, and he vaguely guessed that there might be no more shells.

The face that was just white couldn't help but turn purple, his eyes glared fiercely at the Qin army sailor who was not far away, and he waved his knife viciously and pointed forward, "The enemy's flying fire is over, now it's time for us to behave, blow the horn, the first to board the enemy ship, reward 100 catties of gold!" ”

"Kill!" Those Huainan soldiers who had just been beaten and cried for their fathers and mothers, at this time, they became brave men one after another, and they rushed towards the Qin army's sailors with red eyes and desperately rowing. (To be continued......)
