Chapter 42: The Sailor of the Stick

The group was sleepy and tired, so they had to stop and rest. None of them rode horses, and the terrain was too complex for riding in the first place, where forests and mountains converge.

Speaking of which, the Jurchens did not look like the Khitans, or later the Mongols, but were born horseback people.

After just over two hours of rest, they hurried on their way again. Fortunately, they acted fast enough, there were no dangers along the way, and they were not chased by the Jurchens, and they came to the Chaotong River smoothly all the way.

Fortunately, at this time, the weather has become warmer, and even in this distant northern country, the river has already been unsealed. If more than ten days ago, when they first arrived, there were still large pieces of ice floe on the river, but it would not be fun.

However, when he returned to the fleet, he found that the situation of the fleet was not very good, as if he had fought a war. The ships were somewhat damaged, and the wounded were very numerous.

Song Jiang felt a chill in his heart, could it be that this Jurchen also had a fleet? Could it be that their naval army came to attack?

But soon, he himself was dumbfounded, and threw the thought into the sky. After this period of tossing, Song Jiang couldn't be clearer about the strength of the Jurchens.

Perhaps when it comes to being brave and good at fighting, these half-savages are still quite powerful. But what about the rest? It would be nice if the Jurchens could build a few canoes. Where will there be a trolls?

Besides, they're steamers. Although they are the Tong brothers and the Ruan brothers, these people are small steamers, but they are also steel things. Definitely not an average ship that can be defeated.

If it weren't for the fact that the river was open and the river was extremely deep, this steamer would not have dared to sail to such a deep place.

But that's what happened right now. The fleet was also damaged. This made Song Jiang's heart shrink suddenly, this steamship is only a heavenly creation in the upper realm, where can it be built in the world? If it really damages one or two ships, the great credit that Song Jiang has made this time will also be in vain......

Fortunately, this time he only had two steamers in use, and the others were wooden troop carriers. He looked closely, and the steamer did not receive any damage. Only those troop carriers looked somewhat damaged.

Fortunately, the structure of these troop carriers is simple, and they only need to be hung on the back of the steamer and towed, which is very convenient. Otherwise, just two steamers. I can't fit so many of them.

It's really not good, cut down a few more big trees and make a large raft, and you can also drag people away.

"What the hell is going on?" Song Jiang asked Li Jun with a dark face. He was the commander of the fleet of sailors.

Li Jun shouted bad luck. He, the dragon of the mixed river, was in the middle of the mixed river today, but he almost got into a fight. said with a wry smile: "Grandma's, I don't know how there is such a big old turtle in the same river, it surfaced last night and almost overturned my boat!"

"Old turtle?" Song Jiang was a little unconvinced, how big is the old turtle that can overturn such a large warship? Rather, a real warship.

"It's true," Ruan Xiaoer was also a little discouraged: "My brother jumped down yesterday and watched it." I almost swallowed it by the beast, grandma's, I look at that thing, it must have become a sperm. If it weren't for the Taoist priests in the team, they would all go with you. I'm going to catch this monster!"

"Is there really such a big monster?" Although Song Jiang was asking rhetorically, he actually believed it at this time. Whether it is Li Jun or the Ruan family brothers, they are all the commanders of the water masters who have been following him since the time of Liangshan, and they will not make such jokes with him.

"It's really such a big old turtle, if it weren't for my excitement, I threw a few gunpowder canisters down and injured the old turtle. That thing won't let us go!"

"We're going to leave immediately, maybe the Jurchens will chase after us soon!" Song Jiang asked, "How about it, is the fleet losing a lot, can you go?"

"No problem, as soon as you come back, I will already order the fire to begin. By this time, the air pressure was almost ......"

As soon as he said this, Li Jun's eyes were sharp, and he saw several black spots on the river in the distance.

The sailor, who had been watching with a telescope on the mast, had already shouted: "I found a ship, it seems to be a warship!"

"Where did the Jurchens get their warships?" Song Jiang shouted.

The lookout post above was silent, and after waiting for a long time to see it clearly, he shouted again: "It's really a warship, it seems to be Goryeo's!"

When Song Jiang heard this, he suddenly realized that this was possible. It's just that how could the Goryeo warship appear here? Yes, it must have been reinforcements invited by the Jurchens. Goryeo is a small country surrounded by the sea on three sides, and navigation was originally relatively developed.

There are a lot of sea ships going back and forth between the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, and they are their warships, so there is nothing strange about it.

Li Jun also took out a telescope to see, although this thing is still rare. But it's no longer "priceless". The royal craftsmen have already made telescopes out of crystal.

Master Wen has always believed in the principle of non-proliferation of techniques, and for those who are brain-dead to go to ancient times, he does not block them, but thinks that they can maintain the leading position of techniques by constantly developing and upgrading them......

This kind of thing is just stupid and kicked by a donkey. In an era when technology did not accumulate to the Big Bang, the speed of technological renewal was much slower than expected.

The technique of smelting metals took thousands of years to spread throughout the world. Italy's glass-making technology has been monopolized for hundreds of years.

At all times, monopolies are the most profitable. Even in modern time and space, technology is so advanced. Those technologies that monopolize certain industries are also put on the market with eliminated technologies, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to upgrade them.

Therefore, Wenda Heavenly Master has always had one idea for all kinds of advanced techniques, that is, monopoly.

For example, this telescope was regarded as a militaristic weapon, and the imperial court and the Shenxiao Heavenly Palace jointly issued orders.

Administratively and spiritually, it is necessary to stop the private imitation of the people. Violators will not only be punished by the government, but will not even be let go by the Taoist court.

"These Goryeo sailors are not good, and they actually sent so many warships, it seems that they are planning to go all the way with the Jurchens!" Ruan Xiaoer's eyes flashed with fierce light, and he was even eager to try.

As a general of the navy, it is naturally his duty to fight a water war. Every day to help the troops on the landing transport assistance, even if it is annoying, it will be annoying to death.

More than a dozen warships have approached. It looks like there are hundreds of warships, and there are even thousands of warships.

"Vulnerable!" Compared to Ruan Xiaoer's eagerness, Li Jun's eyelids were much higher. A cold and noble word made Ruan Xiaoer ashamed of himself.

It's true that the warship under his seat was brought down from heaven by his father, and it was made by the immortals and the heavenly craftsmen of the upper realm. Hitting these wooden boats is like killing chickens with a knife, what is there to be happy about?

When Ruan Xiaoer felt that his eyelids were too shallow, the steamers also began to start, and they pressed towards those Goryeo warships with great momentum.

You know, these steamers, even if they don't use other weapons. With the power of high-pressure steam, the welded hull of steel, and the sharp ramming angles attached to the bow, these wooden boats can be smashed into slag at will.

Sure enough, I saw two ships with billowing black smoke and sparks, rushing straight at a speed that seemed incredible to those Koreans. Those Goryeo warships were immediately scared!

"Youkai......"

"Mommy...... Smecta ......"

These Koreans definitely did not have the demeanor of the first power in the universe like their descendants in later generations, nor did they have the courage to pounce in front of the embassy and cut their fingers, and they immediately panicked.

There were even warships that hurriedly turned around, but they didn't care about the warships around them, and directly knocked the ships around them into a big hole. There were even those who were dizzy, and the two warships actually collided with each other in opposite directions.

Before the two steamers could reach it, most of the entire Goryeo fleet had already been wiped out. By the time a steamer, with an invincible momentum, rammed the flagship of the Koreans at a high speed of more than a dozen knots, almost directly smashing it in half.

The other Goryeo ships raised their white flags at high speed.

"Leave a few prisoners, and kill the others!" A cold light flashed in Li Jun's eyes, these Goryeo sticks actually dared to provoke them. It's looking for death!

Since the order was given, the two steamers started to collide one by one, and they heard screams everywhere.

If you have a quick response, you have to run backwards when you turn your head. The two steamers burst into action, their ballistas fired, and a bolt tied to gunpowder shot into the enemy ship.

It shot dozens of feet, but it was steady and ruthless, and the crossbow arrow, which was more than two meters thick and thin, was shot into the hull of the ship, and it was submerged in most of it, and then it exploded, blowing up the Goryeo warship into the sky.

The largest of these Goryeo ships was only 1,500 materials. It was about the size of the steamer, and it was rammed and sunk in the first place.

Other Goryeo warships were hundreds of sizes and were put into later generations, which were almost the same as those of fishing boats, and they were not big fishing boats. At this moment, it exploded, almost like a toy, and was overturned.

Master Wen Da Celestial Master has armed these steamers to the teeth, and it is not just as simple as ramming horns. Modernly-designed crossbows and trebuchets were far ahead of their time in terms of accuracy and power.

It was a clean slaughter!

Dozens of miles away, a group of Jurchen troops saw fireballs and black smoke exploding on the river from a distance, and even heard a dull sound like thunder.

"What's going on?" asked the Jurchen Meng An with a calm face. He has not been in a good mood, and there are actually hateful Song people who have copied their Jurchen hometown. (To be continued......)
