‘Chen Kefu’s name is worth tens of thousands of powerful troops.’

This is a saying that I don’t know when it started to be circulated, but after this sentence was circulated, no one publicly opposed it. It is really that Chen Kefu’s name is too loud. That name represents legend, iron blood, and conquest! Especially those generals who were once defeated by Chen Kefu’s long sword, they believed it deeply. Even in their opinion, at any time, the name Chen Kefu could not only be worth a hundred thousand strong troops. With Chen Kefu around, Chen’s army would be invincible and defeated.

At this moment, when countless warships with broken rivers appeared on the river surface in front of the Yangtze River Caishijie appeared under the banner of Chen Kefu, whether it was Shan Xiongxin, Chen Guoren, Sun Shihan and other generals, or nearly 80,000 Wu soldiers, everyone felt a sense of uncontrollable weakness in their hearts.

Although on the surface, none of Shan Xiongxin and others admitted that they were afraid of Chen Kefu, in fact, they kept ordering the Wu army soldiers to arrange them into dense spear formations one after another in front of the tidal flats of Caishiji. Shan Xiongxin even ordered another 10,000 troops from Caishishi City to help and strengthen defense.

The combat effectiveness of Chen's army is well known, and once Chen Kefu personally led the Chen army, its combat effectiveness will be increased exponentially. Faced with this Chen army led by Chen Kefu personally, everyone can only do their best to prepare.

"Prepare the catapult car, and the Chen army's warship will be launched immediately as soon as it enters the range!"

"Stay steady, Chen Jun is also a flesh-and-blood body. He will die if he stabs it with one shot!"

"Bowman, crossbowman is ready. As soon as Chen Jun approaches the dock, shoot immediately until all the arrows are shot, and all the arrows are lit with tinder oil!"

"Shield players, come forward."

"In this battle, no defeat is allowed, no retreat is allowed, no one dares to take a step back, no one will be killed!"

One by one, the military orders were announced quickly as the cavalry traveled back and forth. In order to prevent the soldiers from retreating at that time, Shan Xiongxin and the other two transferred all their own guard battalions and acted as judges of the supervising army.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Wu Jun on the shore felt a sudden huge vibration under his feet, and then the next moment, it seemed like the sky collapsed, as if it was a crack in the earth! It was like a tsunami, and even more like a mountain collapse.

After a violent vibration, there was a loud noise, which shocked everyone with dizziness, tinnitus and dazzling eyes.

A red light shone. Shan Xiongxin, who had just stabilized his body, suddenly found out in horror that a ball with gunpowder and blue smoke suddenly flew from the enemy ship in the middle of the river. Each of the balls was as big as a small human head, and flew from the horizon, as if it was like a meteorite outside the sky.

"How is this possible?" Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but lose his voice.

The enemy ships on the river are more than two miles away from the defensive position on the shore, which is nearly one thousand steps away. Even the known crossbow with the farthest range is the super crossbow that requires 300 people to twist and fire. The range is only 750 steps.

Shan Xiongxin forgot his movements for a moment and watched the meteorites outside the sky land on the river bank position that seemed to be whistling for miles.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and many Wu soldiers fell to the ground. Shan Xiongxin did not fall. He held his sword in his hand and fixed his body, staring at the place where the meteorite fell.

He only saw that balls as big as human heads suddenly fell into the array of secret orders, and then splashed high blood and meat sauce. In that moment, at least several people were killed and disabled. However, the ball did not stop immediately. After killing and injuring several people in one go, the ball actually jumped up again and then smashed into the array several feet away.

One, two, three...

The fearful ball bounced several times in the dense Wu army array before finally stopping. The damage caused was quite amazing, and each gun was eroded for dozens of feet and had no physiology.

Two hundred shells were bombarded on the Wu army's positions at the same time. This time, the shelling caused at least thousands of casualties. What's more serious is that this shelling hit the morale of the Wu army to the lowest level. No one has heard of it, no one has seen it, and even never thought that the war could still be fought like this.

A distance of nearly three miles long, a thousand people were already lost in just one breath, but they could only sigh at the river and couldn't even counterattack. This purely passively beaten situation made Shan Xiongxin's face pale.

On top of the Anlan flagship, Chen Kefu had just sat up from the deck.

The Anlan flagship itself is a five-layer five-tooth warship, especially as its flagship, a larger super warship. This time, one hundred red cannons were installed directly. Fifty cannons were slammed at once. The huge vibration and sound not only shocked everyone on the ship, but even made people's ears roar. If it hadn't been blocked before, it would have probably won't be able to hear the sound for a few days.

After taking pictures of his clothes, Chen Kefu quickly picked up the Qianli Mile Mile and observed the Wu army front on the other side.

What I saw was tragic.

The Wu army, who knew nothing about warships and giant cannons, treated the Chen army naval division as ordinary naval divisions. This time, they suffered a great loss. In this case, the array of miles long on the Wu army's shore had been blasted out of hundreds of holes of large and small size. It was like a wooden board, which had been beaten into a sieve.

Looking at the results of this battle, Chen Kefu was also extremely excited.

These red-clothed cannons have been built for several years. They cost countless times. It can be said that the red-clothed cannons were completely piled up with money. A red-clothed cannon weighs 3,000 kilograms, which was completely cast from copper.

In this era, copper was the standard currency, and the money was always a thousand pounds weighing six pounds. A red-clothed cannon weighing three thousand pounds is worth 500 pounds even if it is sold by pound. The most expensive thing about the red-clothed cannon is not the material, it is the manufacturing process.

It can be said that a cannon is more than ten times its own material, worth at least 5,000 guan. Five thousand guan is a huge sum of money. The annual tax revenue of the imperial court was only tens of millions of guan. This is because of the various special products that Chen Chao praised.

In addition to cannons, shells are also expensive. The shell weighing 20 kilograms per piece is a spherical solid bullet made of materials such as stone, iron, and lead. This shell is ingenious, with various shapes and methods of use, but it mainly acts as a destructive effect by directly hitting the target. For this reason, shells must be proportional to the machine to ensure that their range is long and have a greater lethality.

One shell is twenty kilograms. Just now, two hundred shells were fired out in the first round of artillery bombing. The cost of one shell is about two jin of money, and just now, four hundred jin of money was fired out.

Although this cannon is powerful, it is really a real way to smash people with money. And it is not just a copper coins of Yiwen, but it is just a silver and gold.

However, all of this finally paid off. High investment will always result in high output, which is always Chen Kefu's famous saying.

After patting the barrel that was more than meter long, Chen Kefu decisively ordered, "Continue to shell the shell and continuously shell the base."

Chen Lei, who was standing beside him, was stunned: "Your Majesty, a base of 400 shells. If one is really shot, then all our shells will be exhausted."

After hearing this, Chen Kefu was silent for a moment. He set a base of 400, which was completely imitated by later generations. However, the current situation is obviously too many. After really hitting a base, I don’t know when to hit it, and they don’t have so many shells.

"Then change it, change the number of one to forty shells. Just bombard for forty rounds in a row. All Qinglong double-decker warships are ready. Once the shelling stops, you can immediately land on the beach!"

"yes!"

On the mast of the Anlan battleship, a command lantern quickly rose to pass on the surrounding ships.

Warships after ships raised lights, indicating that they had received the order.

The next moment, two hundred cannons loaded again were fired again, and two hundred shells as big as humans were bombarded onto the other side.

The Wu army on the Caishiji River was still in chaos, and Shan Xiongxin was stunned just now. He guessed that those were Chen Jun's new secret weapons, which must be a kind of gunpowder weapons. But he didn't know how to deal with this.

Give up the Jiangan position? That's impossible. In this way, Chen Jun could easily land and continue to defend himself, but he didn't know how many weapons there were in fear.

Just as he was hesitating, countless Wu soldiers around him suddenly shouted in panic.

"Here, here again!" Countless Wu soldiers ran in horror. They had witnessed the power of the large iron balls like meteorites outside the sky just now. The stone bullets of this thing were much more powerful. Once they were smashed, there would be basically no residue left within a few feet of the side.

Before Shan Xiongxin could come up with any good solution, the second round of artillery attacks had ended, and hundreds of Wu troops on the riverside were killed again.

"After retreating, retreat one thousand steps later and retreat to the city to defend!" Shan Xiongxin quickly issued a new general order.

He didn't know if the warship on the river could be killed after retreating to the top of the city. But now, he had no other way. If he stayed here like this, he would not know what other results would be except being slowly annihilated by Chen Jun.

"Wuwuwuwu--" The short withdrawal roar had already sounded. The soldiers of the Wu army, who were suffering, seemed to hear the fairy music. Without any hesitation, they immediately turned around and rushed towards Caishi City. If it weren't for the officers who were in charge of the battle, they would have already run away. Now they have finally received the order to retreat, and no one will delay them.

The wind blows and the tide rolls around the banner.

With just two rounds of artillery attacks, the Wu army's defense line on the river bank completely collapsed, and 40,000 Wu soldiers turned around and fled in panic.!~!
