The ninety-ninth chapter is flying

The four most fully preserved cavalry battalions swept from the high ground on both the east and west wings.

Although they also realized that the fleet in the Yingshui River was constantly approaching the highland river bank and even adjusting its formation, neither Yuan Wuwei nor Yuan Wenliang thought that the Huaiyou Navy could play any role at this time.

As long as the Huaiyou Navy dares to land, they will be sure that these ignorant naval forces will never return.

Even the tough and tough Heshuo infantry could only shrink and support the Caizhou cavalry, let alone the navy with thinner armor?

However, reality played a big joke on Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wenliang, which made them stunned in the subsequent fight, even surpassing the shock brought by the bombardment of the fallen wooden tower when they besieged Gushi City.

Mei Kuang stood at the bow of the ship, and the commanders were flying, constantly passing orders.

Several large warships have begun to spread out along the river bank, constantly adjusting their direction, even slightly overlapping, but there is no doubt that the entire eastern flank of the highland is completely exposed to the bombardment coverage of the warship's ship's ship's side fire dragon cannons and heavy magic bed crossbows.

The sails on the mast had fallen, and the sailors had to rely on large oars to adjust the position of the warships in order to keep them in a relatively fixed position, allowing the most powerful fire dragon cannons and magic crossbows to face the river bank.

"Sir, the Caizhou cavalry has entered the attack range, with a target distance of 200 steps!"

Mei Kuang felt that his palms were also a little tired, and his sweat was overflowing from his palms. This was even more nervous than facing the enemy's impact directly. It was related to the fate of this German army, and it was also the first battle of the brand-new Huaiyou Navy, which was about to begin!

"Sir, the Caizhou cavalry approached the river bank, and the distance was 180 steps!"

"Prepare the Fire Dragon Cannon, Prepare the Bed Crossbow!" Mei Kuang almost squeezed out two sentences from his teeth.

As the commander waved the flags in his hand, the decks of six large soldiers surrounded by large soldiers along the coast were in a hurry. The fire dragon cannon guns that had already tore off the cannon suit were lifted up. The sailors frantically swayed the winch, making the guns too high, and the observation post also began to enter the observation position, preparing for the assessment after the first strike.

At the same time, the magic crossbow began to be pushed out and began to be fully fixed. The position of the crossbow mouth was also raised under the winch, and the crossbow arrows showed a blue edge.

"Sir, one hundred and fifty steps away!"

"Sir, one hundred and twenty steps away!"

"One hundred steps away!" The sound of the observation whistle on the mast has been deformed and has become particularly harsh.

"Come ships of fire dragon cannons, prepare!" Mei Kuang took a deep breath.

There was another busy moment on the deck. Although the sailors had already manipulated it many times during the drill, they only had one or two real combat times. Most of the time, they used substitutes for the Fire Dragon Cannon, so the real insight must be used in this practical application.

"Sir, eighty steps!"

Eighty steps are equivalent to 120 meters, and it can be said that it is quite close to the highland river bank.

"Shoot!" Mei Kuang no longer hesitated and issued an order.

Eighteen Fire Dragon Cannons on six large warships began to show their power.

This Fire Dragon Cannon is a cannon in name, but in fact, its working principle is similar to a catapult car, except that the projection power is no longer a throwing arm, but a huge metal twisting spring, which uses a winch to stretch multiple specially created characteristic twisting springs through a winch, and finally releases kinetic energy to shoot the cannon bullets out.

This principle is actually not complicated, but it is very particular in the process, especially in the production of twisted springs.

The elastic twisted spring made of steel is not something that can be achieved by the existing craftsmanship level. This is also a breakthrough brought by Ganquan when he came to Daocang, Xuzhou.

The magicians at the Daozang Institute re-adjustled the material standards and production processes of twisted springs, used multiple-touched mixed fine iron for processing, and quenched with water-based techniques.

The level of this batch of twisted springs made far exceeds that of ordinary fine iron. The elasticity and strength are even better after being praised by magic, with stronger ambient and durableness, so they can bear the projection needs of fire dragon cannons and magic bed crossbows.

At the same time, the cannon is installed in a special gun cartridge. When ejected, the cannon is ejected from the cannon and is fixed through a section of the cannon cartridge. On the one hand, the cannon can catch fire and burn in the cannon cartridge. On the other hand, the cannon can effectively control the ejection path through the cannon cartridge, making its running track more accurate and achieving the effect of accurate strikes.

The most complex production process is the cannon.

The cannon is made of special stone, using bone glue, tincture oil and phosphorus powder soaking and fermenting technology. This stone is also extremely special. It is a special product of Yuzhou. Once this cannon is soaked in bone glue, tincture oil and phosphorus powder, it will expand and explode in a very short time. This will cause the cannon to explode and disintegrate during the flight combustion process, forming an effect similar to a large shotgun.

This was also the case after the establishment of the Daozang Institute, Jiang Feng proposed the concept, and then the Daozang Institute established the project, and a group of magicians led by Luo Zhen were responsible for the research. Finally, after the Shouzhou Navy was included in the Huaiyou Navy, he first began to experiment on the navy fleet.

The power of this fire dragon cannon is far greater than that of the fallen wooden tower. In fact, it is no longer a pure magic weapon, but more like a mixture of magic and science.

Yuan Wenliang was full of energy and waved his spear, and hundreds of cavalry rolled up a wave of turbulence behind him. It was obvious that the German army could no longer support it. Although this shrinking defense did strengthen the defense density, it made it impossible for them to launch a counterattack. This passive way of being beaten was destined to only slowly collapse in rounds of impact.

A sudden change occurred.

The light from the corner of his eyes seemed to feel some change in the air. Yuan Wenliang subconsciously looked into the air and suddenly a scattered black dots floated from the air in the direction of the river bank, just like a group of birds flying in the air. It was very fast, and the black dots quickly approached and became larger.

Subconsciously, he felt that the group of black dots contained a lot of malice, but the reaction was half a beat slower. When the black dots approached, Yuan Wenliang could clearly see that the black dots were balls, and they were burning balls. Each ball was the size of a basin, like a demon laughing wildly in the air.

"Not good!" Yuan Wenliang was shocked. As soon as he could shout, the burning ball exploded in the air.

Accompanied by a burst of flames, each ball split into four or five irregular pieces and fell from the air.

A piece of fragment hit Yuan Wenliang's shoulder. Yuan Wenliang roared, and the horse spear was crossed. The pieces hit the head of the horse spear, scattered and cracked. A few sparks hit the face. A few sparks fell on the horse and suddenly burned. The horse with pain jumped wildly, almost knocking Yuan Wenliang off the horse.

Yuan Wenliang didn't have time to think too much, and slapped several times in a row, but he couldn't let it go or extinguish it. In the end, he couldn't pull out the knife in his hand and cut off several burning flesh on Jianma's body, so that Jianma could calm down.

If you do this yourself, what about the others?

Some people obviously don’t have as good luck as Yuan Wenliang.

Some of them were directly hit by burning stones, and were knocked off the horse at that time, and were followed by their subsequent comrades and stepped on them into meat paste.

Although some people avoided it, Mars fell on themselves in the air, attached to them, and quickly burned.

Those who react faster realize how powerful this thing is, quickly take off their armor. If those who react less or find it later, they can only watch themselves turn into a ball of fire.

No one had ever thought that such a burning fire demon would suddenly fly out of the river, whether it was the Caizhou cavalry or the Chengde army, who was already at an absolute disadvantage.

Before the Caizhou cavalry could react, the second round of strikes followed one after another.

Another black piece of black came into the air like a bird, and the same movement exploded in the air and fell down like that. Without any tricks, it fell down like this.

It’s a pity that the Caizhou cavalry, which was charging the German army in a intensive formation, could hardly make a countermeasure. If you want to adjust or change direction during high-speed running, you can’t do it at all, at least in a short time.

Although the coverage density of this flying fire demon is not large, the fatal thing is that it will explode and disintegrate in the air, and the released phosphorus powder can be attached to anything that can be stained, burning, either taken off or cut off, otherwise it will never stop without burning thoroughly.

When the third round of Fire Dragon Cannon bombardment hit the formation of the Caizhou cavalry, the Caizhou army could no longer maintain its formation.

No matter how Yuan Wenliang ordered the soldiers to keep their discipline.

The cavalry subconsciously rode their horses away from the river bank and moved closer to the middle. There were already three battalions of cavalry in the middle that were carrying out cavalry shooting attacks. They were squeezed by their companions from the flanks and became confused, and the entire attack wave suddenly became invalid.

The bombardment effect of the fourth wave is far less than the previous three waves, but it cannot be underestimated.

Although it is impossible to directly hit the high ground that has already made the river bank, due to the slight inclination angle of the high ground, many of the stones that have landed are round or approximately circular. With the help of the inclination angle of the high ground, fireballs are constantly rolling into the cavalry team, causing real commotion and stampede.

Yuan Wenliang completely lost control. He was passively surrounded by these terrified soldiers and rushed into the middle wildly.

At this time, it is impossible to ride a horse and turn back. The cavalry that kept following from the source can only lead the way and escape with the help of speed. If you want to turn around, then wait for your comrades to bump into it.
