(I wish you all money, house, and women in advance!) There is already one, and there will be everything right away! Xie Lu thanks all the book friends for their strong support in the past year, thank you everyone! ）

As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

Just now, the cannon was too enjoyable, and the hundred flying thunder cannons on dozens of ships roared like thunder, and in half an hour, all the three thousand flying fires carried had been exhausted.

"Damn, Lao Tzu now understands the other meaning of the golden taels when the cannon sounds, 3,000 rounds of flying fire, 60,000 catties of gunpowder, the 18th Army of Jianghai Township Soldiers will run out of rations for a year, fuck me!" Deng Huan's face was still flushed, and he stared at the Huainan Army fleet in embarrassment in the midst of the stormy seas and gunsmoke.

The power of gunpowder weapons is indeed good, but even if they are still in the special equipment sequence in the Qin army, there are great objective reasons. The most important thing is that the output can't keep up, and the amount of January produced by the Firearms Bureau of the Ordnance Division may only be exhausted in a few rounds in a big battle. Another one is that it is greatly affected by the weather, and once it rains, no matter how many firearms in your hand you have, you have to lie on your stomach, and you may even get damp.

At this time, Deng Huan tossed around in Jianghai Town and made a hundred flying thunder cannons, but in the battle at this time, it took less than a moment to shoot, and the 3,000 rounds and 60,000 catties of gunpowder were exhausted.

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

I was a little disappointed to hear that it had been played.

The more than 1,000 Huainan ships on the sea have been almost lost by 20%, and nearly 200 have been destroyed. It is also a fruitful battle. Not close yet. With almost zero losses, the side killed two hundred ships and three or four thousand people.

But this kind of fighting is indeed a bit unbearable, and the ammunition and 60,000 catties of gunpowder are exhausted in a moment.

"Brother Ziming, don't worry, let's see the combat effectiveness of our sailors next." After speaking, Wu Qian turned his head and shouted to the herald: "The fleet slowly retreats and seizes the upstream!" ”

Give it a command. The First Fleet of the Lingbo Army immediately and quickly retreated, and continued to distance itself from the Huainan fleet as it headed westward.

On the river to the north, Liang Zhang stood on a flat-bottomed Bianboat, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his face was pale.

This battle was fought in a suffrage, and before it got close to the other party, more than 200 ships of all sizes were lost here, and more than 3,000 people were lost.

"Liang Shuai, the thief army is gaining the upper hand. Must be fireproof! Bi Shiduo reminded carefully in the back. In surface combat, the sharpest weapon is fire attack.

Liang Zhang also knows this. "Speed up!" Although the fierce shelling of the Qin army just now made the Huainan army pale one by one, at this time, they could only surround it.

On the Jianghai, Wu Qian, who was holding a clairvoyant mirror, sneered at the large and small ships that rushed up like ants, with indescribable mockery. Since the destruction of the three sailors of the Feng family, the Wang family, and the Duli Town, there have been no enemies on this sea for a long time.

Huainan and Zhenhai also had sailors, but Wu Qian and others never admitted that they were also called sailors.

"Mine underwater!" Wu Qian shouted in a deep voice.

The order flag flew, and the eighteen frigates that had originally been building ships and fighting ships in the battle immediately sailed to the lower direction of the fleet and lined up.

Eighteen walkers began to release underwater mines.

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

In the beginning, the Ordnance Department developed a weapon for the infantry, which was the invincible mine cannon, and later, the underwater mine was designed based on the mine cannon.

It used a wooden box as a thunder shell, putty glued to the seams, and contained black powder inside, and its firing mechanism was detonated by a long rope pulled by a human fire. There are three iron anchors under the wooden box, which control the evolution of underwater mines in the water.

At the same time, there is another drifting underwater mine, which uses incense as a timing fuse, known as the underwater dragon king cannon. Since then, the Ordnance Division has continuously improved the mines, and now the latest model has been improved to trigger drift mines for hitting the line and guiding mines.

Hearing Wu Qian's order, he began to lay mines, and there were two kinds of mines, the underwater dragon king cannon that sank under the water, and the underwater thunder made of ox belly floating on the surface of the water.

At present, the Qin army's naval division has seized the upstream direction, and the mines laid by the boat are half in the water and half on the surface, floating along the water to the Huainan boat that rushed to the water.

"Holy." With just one glance, Deng Huan had already recognized that the mine on the boat was the latest type of contact line guide mine. "Wu Junmen, I didn't expect that you would have already got this latest underwater mine, Nian Force!"

Wu Qian smiled, "Master Deng is a big man, and he is silently equipped with a hundred flying thunder cannons." ”

Although the two generals were not alarmed when they were on the battlefield, they talked eloquently, and neither of them paid attention to the thousands of enemy ships and tens of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side.

However, in the eyes of the Huainan army, the Qin fleet at this time seemed to have run out, and it was no longer arrogant before, and it was desperately fleeing. Many soldiers who were beaten just now couldn't raise their heads and begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother, but at this time, they were angry and angry, desperately giving orders to pursue, and preparing to regain face.

"What's that?" The Huainan sergeants who rushed to the front of the group of boats watched the Qin army boats in front of them keep throwing some wooden boxes into the water and floating up, which was a little strange.

Is it a fireship? But why is it so small, and the number doesn't seem to be much, and there is no ignition?

While he was thinking this, a wooden box at the front was already in the front, and a soldier on the boat raised a spear in his hand and pushed forward.

There was no response, and I poked another bucket, but I still didn't find what it was.

Several more sergeants also stabbed with spears, trying to see what was inside the box. Right here, the dozen or so soldiers on that boat only felt unsteady under their feet, and then a white light flashed in front of them, followed by a roar in their ears, a buzzing in their whole heads, and then they felt like they had flown into the sky.

The power of the floating thunder is no less than that of the flying thunder cannon, and the ten on that boat were smashed on the spot!

Huge splashes of water with bright blood.

When the mine sounded, countless soldiers on both sides of the Qin army and the Huainan army stared with their mouths wide open, unable to believe it.

"Retreat!"

Liang Zhang's face turned pale and shouted, he finally understood what the box that Qin Jun had put in the water was. It's a pity. By this time, it was already a little late.

Eighteen boats have already laid down thousands of underwater mines. These mines are all over the river. Go with the flow. However, the ships of the Huainan Army were also all over the river, and after the first mine sounded, more mines began to sound one after another. Even if Liang Zhang ordered a retreat, it would be too late, not only was the surface of the water full of mines, but even under the surface of the water there were many mines drifting down in it, and the bottom of the larger ships sounded at the slightest touch.

The rising flames and white columns of water were truly spectacular.

For the sake of the soldiers of the Qin army. Everyone cheered. But the soldiers of the Huainan Army in it are like falling into hell.

Wu Qian looked at this situation, but he didn't plan to stop there.

"Order, mine-throwing car prepares, and the machine is on fire!"

With this order sounded, it was really a fatal blow to the Huainan Army fleet.

Building ships, fighting ships, sea falcons, the mine-throwing vehicles on these large warships have long been prepared, taking advantage of the fire to rob, and began to fire Greek fire. Tank after canister of Greek fire was projectile out of the air, without the need to directly hit the enemy ship. Because the Greek fire burned more fiercely when it met the water, and the river was covered with broken boats and wooden pieces and soldiers who had fallen into the water. With a little bit of divine fire, he kept going down the river, burning ships when he met ships, and burning people when he met people.

The entire surface of the Yangtze River is miserable.

Liang Zhang, who finally escaped back to the north shore, was still a little trembling at this time, and he had been hunting all his life, and finally let the goose peck his eyes.

Of the more than 1,000 boats, less than half of them fled back to the north shore, and almost 600 boats were lost, so in just half a day, he did not have more than 10,000 people, nearly 20,000. Even in this first round of attack, he had already been tempted and sent almost all of the auxiliaries, but he also sent 5,000 soldiers. Now, there are 3,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 auxiliaries, and more than 600 ships.

On the Jianghai, Wu Qian, who had just won a big victory, did not look very good. This victory is still a big victory.

But this battle did not destroy the enemy army, it can only be said to be a small setback to the enemy army. As long as the Huainan Army insists on attacking, the next battle will not be so easy to fight.

"The ammunition for the Flying Thunder Cannon is gone." Deng Huan smacked his lips, "How many underwater mines and divine fires do Wu Junmen have?" ”

Wu Qian smiled bitterly: "When Zhang Junmen led the Anlan Army and the other three detachments of the Lingbo Army to the north, he took most of the ammunition away. In fact, what I just hit is already all I have. Damn, I'm running out of ammo, and I haven't been able to kill all of those bitches. ”

Deng Huan heard the news, and his face was a little bad. However, he still persuaded him: "This result is already good, we almost did not lose a single soldier, and we wiped out more than 10,000 Huainan troops." Even if we don't have firearms, we still have bows and crossbows, we can't stop it from the sea, we can still retreat ashore, and we will fight on the island, and we still have 10,000 horses. ”

North Shore, Huainan Army Camp.

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

Today's battle, the fight has really frightened them, not one of the several generals present is a soft persimmon, Liang Zhang is known as the first general under Gao Piao, Bi Shiduo Li Hanzhi Which of these is a good hawthorn, which one is not a bloody storm.

But like today, he didn't even catch a single hair from the other party, but he had already lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and no one had really fought this battle.

"Do you want to fight?" Qin Yan's deep voice broke the silence.

No one answered his words, in fact, Qin Yan also knew very well that no matter what the battle, it could only be fought.

50,000 people fought 10,000 people, and the result was a big defeat. But if you continue to attack, as long as you defeat Hu Tuzhou, it will be regarded as making up for it. And if you go back to these things, I'm afraid that no one can afford this responsibility in front of Gao Dashuai.

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

"It's just gunpowder." It's not that Bi Shiduo has never seen gunpowder, but he really has never seen gunpowder played like this, and today's battle has completely subverted the status and image of gunpowder in his heart in the past. It's really a gunpowder, and no one wants to stop it.

Liang Zhang also gradually calmed down at this time, and said with a dark face: "It is indeed gunpowder, although it is a little strong and outrageous, different from the previous cognition, but it is still gunpowder." This gunpowder is so powerful, but it definitely has its drawbacks. As long as we grasp this shortcoming, we will definitely be able to break it. ”

When the rest of the generals heard this, they immediately turned their heads and pondered, where is the flaw in this gunpowder? (To be continued......)
