The cold winter has passed, and the early spring has just appeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Above the mountains and rivers, the snow has melted, turning into tiny springs that tinkle between the mountains and rocks, and finally merge into the Fen River, which has raised millions of people a lot, at least the river is more than a foot deep, enough for the newly built warships to start running.

In Taiyuan City, a group of craftsmen were gathered in the dock, and in this dock, the warship was ready.

At this moment, Yang Zhizheng led a group of staff members to gather on this warship, some of them were checking whether the kruppers mounted on the bow of the ship could operate normally, some were lying on the wheels to check whether the iron armor on the trade falcon was solid, and some people were going deep into the cabin to check whether there were any defects inside.

Basically everyone was busy making sure that the first gunboat was going to work.

At noon, Xiao Feng raised his eyes to look at the sun and asked, "Is it okay?"

"According to the inspection, there is no problem at present!" Zhao Zhi replied.

Xiao Feng jumped up, slowly landed on the boat, and looked at the group of people who were looking at him with anticipation on their faces, and immediately said, "Since this is the case, let's start." ”

Since the idea was proposed, Zhao Zhi of the General Staff Department and Li Mingcheng of the Logistics Department put forward the idea together, and cooperated with the two brothers Chen Shenxing, Qin Jian, and Qin Dong of the Iron Smelting Institute to jointly start manufacturing this weapon that may subvert the future water war.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of eighteen cannons exploded, and the soldiers inside the gunboat worked hard together, pushing the rocker in front of them, and the rocker immediately drove the gears made of fine iron outside to start running, and finally the four wheels on both sides of the gunboat started to work together, and the paddles installed on the wheels slapped the water, and the huge man-made object about ten feet long began to operate.

"It's moving, it's really moving!"

On both sides, those craftsmen were clapping their hands excitedly, and their faces were flushed as they looked at the mighty gunboat, but they didn't even know that their hands were red.

Listening to the shouts of the people next to him, Chen Shenxing's eyes were also a little hot: "If this gunboat is also equipped, then even if the enemy rushes over, we won't be afraid!"

"Fortunately, after so many days, we finally saw it start running, and we don't lose it. I hope this ship is doing well, but no one will come and make trouble. On the other side, Qin Jian and Qin Dong were staring at this warship with a worried face, compared to those warships in the past, this warship was too different, if something happened on the road, it would be troublesome.

The weather was clear and cloudless, and the trees were so quiet and motionless that the open sails of the gunboat hung lazily on the masts, and were not hoisted.

However, on the Fen River, the gunboat was already far away from everyone, and it was getting farther and farther, and gradually walked out of Taiyuan City, heading to the distance where the river stretched all the way to the end.

Looking at the sides, Yang Hui felt a little familiar on both sides, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't this facing north?"

It was no wonder that he was surprised, after passing through the forts they had set up on both sides, the gunboat began to penetrate deep into the north, and gradually began to approach the Mongol garrison.

"How do I know, but with the lord here, are you afraid of the enemy's attack?" Zhao Zhi shook his head and pointed to Xiao Feng, who was standing on the top of the ship.

The two of them looked at each other, and immediately saw their lord justice standing proudly under the sky like that mainstay, and his face was as cold and frosty as that, which made their hearts rest a little. If their lord was here, they would not be afraid even if the Mongols were pouring in.

"Can we start?"

On the ship's floor, Xiao Feng's eyes were already condensed.

Not far away, about three or so warships were heading towards this side, and in addition to the four huge wheels, there were also thirty blades inserted into the river from both sides of the cabin, and it was their joint efforts to make the huge warship move, and on top were the figures of men, all of whom raised their weapons in the air, as if they were shouting.

They were the Mongol navy, in charge of the entire Fenshui defense line, and now when they saw this strange warship coming, they rushed over immediately.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhi was suddenly startled: "Is it an enemy?"

Just seeing the appearance of the other party, he is not afraid, the key is that the gunboat under their feet has not been tested by reality at this time, if it is scrapped because of the conflict between them and the other party, then it may cause damage to the gunboat under him, and if it is damaged, it is not a very good thing.

"That's right. They are the Mongol naval forces and the real enemies of this battleship under our feet. Xiao Feng stomped the gunboat under his feet, but was dissatisfied with the somewhat slack-off soldiers in front of him: "And if we don't defeat them, how can we prove that this battleship is what we need?"

Zhao Zhi felt his scalp tingle for a while: "However, we haven't tried it yet." Is it after the test, and then put into actual combat? "If Xiao Feng has any bad habits, it is that he always likes to forcibly assign tasks, and that task is sometimes quite unkind, so he feels a little uncomfortable.

"No need. And the other party is the real enemy, if even these few are not good, then what am I fortunate to have worked so hard to make this thing for?" Xiao Feng shook his head and refuted Zhao Zhi's request without hesitation.

Faced with this kind of order, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to accept it, and then he was not very skilled in giving the order: "Turn the captival cannon and aim at the target in front of you." ”

The group of soldiers immediately got busy and lifted the sackcloth that covered the cannon, revealing the already properly installed cannon. Several soldiers brought the powder kegs filled with gunpowder and began to fill them with gunpowder and stuffed the prepared stone bullets into it.

The Red Phoenix Army is not yet technologically developed, and it is not yet possible to make suitable shells, and because of the lack of resources such as copper and lead, it is still using ordinary stone shells, but they are filled with gunpowder, and if they are fired at the opponent and then explode, they can also cause serious damage to the target.

"Fire!"

At the sound of the order, a little smoke gradually rose from the muzzle of the cannon, and the group on the boat suddenly felt a shock under their feet, and almost fell to the ground.

In the distance, in front of the ship at the forefront, a splash of water suddenly appeared, several feet high, and the enemies on it all bared their teeth as if mocking.

"Didn't work out?"

On top of the gunboat, all the armor felt a little annoyed.

However, Zhao Zhi was more concerned about whether the gunboat could withstand the recoil of the captives, so he asked, "Is there any movement in the cabin?" If the whole gunboat falls apart because of this cannon, it will be a crime.

"Someone just fell to the ground and hit his head, and now it's being processed. As for the hull, there have not yet been any huge problems. Qiu Shenlu, who was located in the cabin and also belonged to the General Staff, opened his mouth and said.

Zhao Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if he misses the target, if the ship under his feet can't withstand the impact of the artillery, it will be terrible! So he continued to give the order: "The target is the front warship, open fire!"

Hearing the order, the gunners immediately began to get busy, they inserted a long brush with bristles tied to it, and stabbed it violently, and when all the debris and debris were cleared inside, they were busy filling it with gunpowder and shells, and by the time the next shot had passed about half a minute.

In the distance, the warship in front of it tilted again, the entire bow of the ship was dumped downward, and countless sawdust was scattered in all directions, and the soldiers gathered on the ship were beaten by the head.

"It worked!"

This time, it immediately made everyone cheer.

Even if it doesn't work the first time, at least the second time it works, and if it doesn't work the second time, it will work the third, fourth, or even later.

And as long as their artillery can threaten the other side at such a long distance, then this battle is theirs.

"Good!

Seeing that the artillery bombardment was effective, Zhao Zhi also felt that he was too nervous before, they were two or three miles away from the opponent's warship, and if the two wanted to get close to the normal combat distance, it would take at least half an hour, and in this half an hour, the artillery on their ship was enough to fire dozens or hundreds of times, and with these fierce firepower alone, it was still enough to completely destroy those old-fashioned warships that still relied on batters and crossbows in the old era.

The shelling is still beginning, and the opposing naval army has already collapsed.

Several of the huge ships they owned had been completely sunk by the artillery, sitting on the riverbed, floating along the river with countless debris and wood, and even the river carried some blood, and the soldiers on it had already jumped out of the cabin, swam down the river and ran to the bank of the river and scattered.

In the face of this ferocious weapon, they really can't grasp the victory against the other party.

"Did you just run away?"

And watching the other party move away, Zhao Zhi felt bored.

He originally thought that the other party would be able to rush over and have a fight, but under the ferocious attack of the artillery, the other party could not even get close, so he was completely smashed to pieces, and there was no room for struggle at all.

Yang Hui also replied: "It seems that yes." ”

Looking at the situation in front of him, he felt a spiritual light pop up in his mind, although this spiritual light was fleeting, but he felt that maybe there was an essential difference between water warfare and land warfare, and perhaps it was that difference that led to the current ending.

Water wars, how should they be fought?

Yang Hui fell into deep thought!

"Then let's go back?" Zhao Zhi was a little strange, he was used to his companion often falling into deep thought.

"Even so, the other party won't allow us to leave so easily. From the sky, Xiao Feng's voice still fell, and around the warship, thousands of war horses were stepping on the grassland, rushing towards this side, and they were holding hand cannons in their hands, which were verified to have miraculous effects after the Taiyuan offensive and defensive battles, so they were also equipped by Shi Tianze in the army on a large scale.

"Bang ......"

Repeated gunshots rang out, and those projectiles had already crossed the Fen River and smashed into the "Canglong".

However, these projectiles only smashed a shallow pit on the iron armor on the Canglong's body, and nothing else could be produced.

Zhao Zhi looked at this scene, and secretly cursed in his heart that it was really fast, and then began to arrange for the personnel in his hands to start counterattacking, not only those tiger squat cannons began to attack, but even the captives were turned around, aiming at these surrounding cavalry to launch projectiles, and those wrestlers in the cabin also started, pushing the wheels to run slowly, and drove towards Taiyuan City behind them.

Xiao Feng didn't intervene, just stood on top of the ship, quietly watching the battle of the soldiers under his command.

In the distance, the cavalry had already come to the side of the Fen River, and they abandoned their horses and jumped into the Fen River, and then swam towards the warship, which was clearly intended to be captured by hand-to-hand combat.

"Damn, put a bayonet on me and drive them down!"

Pulling out a bayonet from his waist and sticking it into the gun, Yang Hui aimed at a Mongolian Tartar who was about to jump to the deck, only pulled the trigger, and immediately let the guy fall into the river, and then he saw another person preparing to break in, and one rushed over, and the gun in his hand immediately pierced into the man's abdomen, so that he could only fall to the ground.

However, under the continuous attack of the enemy, those tiger squat cannons and captives were all unable to operate due to lack of manpower, so that the newly built gunboat began to appear in many places, such as the deck was blasted out of the other party's hand cannons, the cabin was opened by a large amount of river water poured into it, and even the huge wheels were surrounded by several people, and they smashed several oars in a burst.

At this moment, the entire gunboat suddenly trembled, but it was completely frozen, and there was no movement at all.

Zhao Zhi was shocked, and immediately felt angry: "Damn, these guys have scrapped the gears of the wheel." "The wheels are the main driving force that drives the "Canglong" to sail, and if it is scrapped by this group of guys, it is equivalent to being scrapped two legs, and it will not be able to run at all.

Frightened, he immediately ordered his soldiers to go out and make sure that all the Mongol Tartars were driven out.

At this moment, Xiao Feng sneered: "Although I understand the urgency of your desire to destroy this gunboat, as a qualified enemy, I will not allow you to destroy my strategy." Then, she only stomped her foot lightly towards the entire deck, and a red light immediately spread out around the center of her toes, and wherever the red light went, the broken wooden planks, iron blocks, and even paddle blades were restored to their original state, and even the soldiers who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries were refreshed, and their physical injuries were also restored as before.

As for the dozens of Tartars who had already jumped onto the gunboat, after being swept away by this red light, they were reduced to ashes, and there was not a single thing left.

Seeing this scene, the cavalry on both sides who were still rushing towards this side were suddenly startled, and quickly reined in their horses and turned around and quickly left here. If they knew that Xiao Feng was here, they would have run away early in the morning, how could they have lost their lives in vain?

With Xiao Feng's immortal cultivation, it is not a problem to completely slaughter the entire army.

Looking at the Mongolian cavalry that fled, Xiao Feng had no intention of continuing to chase, today her idea has been verified, this is the best fruit, and now is the time to go back and continue to consolidate the results. (To be continued.) )
