Chapter 546: Opening a New Era

(Pray for the people of Ya'an! Say silently for the victims!)

------------------------------------------------

"Board-mounted battle!" Looking at the Jingzhou Navy under Ji Wuliang's command, Cao Xinyu laughed silently, "For many years, the Jingzhou Navy's tactics are still the same, without any novelty. The Red Horse and Meng Crown ships charge, entangled the opponent, and then the five-mast ships forced them to fight on the sidelines, using their number of advantages to suppress the opponent unreasonably.

"It's different now!" he said softly.

On the surface of the river, dense demon-subduing crossbows rushed over the Red Horse Ship and Meng Chong Ship to the point of falling water. The powerful crossbow arrows flew across the waves, shooting down such small boats and cutting them into two pieces. The soldiers on the ship fell into the water and struggled constantly in the torrent. The five-masted ships crushed over them mercilessly. When the warships passed, the water surface was a floating corpse.

No ordinary small ship has the opportunity to lean on a five-masted ship.

Cao Xinyu is looking forward to the approaching of the warship with countless spectacular warships. If you want to fight on the side, how could I not give you this opportunity? Cao Xinyu smiled evilly, his gray beard trembled, and he looked very happy.

The two fleets approached quickly, and the Jingzhou Navy's thunder can no longer be used. The distance between the two sides was too close. The thunder cannon was no longer accessible due to the angle problem. Teams of naval officers and soldiers rushed to the deck and raised their strong bows in their hands. The other party had not used the thunder cannon. There must be no. Even if there was, it was useless now. In their hearts, the next step was not to shoot each other's bows and arrows, and then fight on the side.

Then at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the battleship opposite, and a ball of black objects jumped high and fell from the air.

"Pi Li Cannon!" The soldiers looked up at the sky, and looked at the stone bullet that fell quickly, and their faces changed color. Their PILI Li Cannon could no longer be hit because the distance was too close. Why can the other party?

Of course! This is the reduced version of the Thunderbolt Cannon developed by the Fengrui Soldier Workshop under the governor of the North Governor's Office. The firing range is greatly reduced, but the firing rate and accuracy are greatly improved. This thing was originally developed to allow the army to carry the Thunderbolt Cannon more conveniently, but with the establishment of the navy, this reduced version of the Thunderbolt Cannon seems to have become a long-range attack weapon tailored for warships.

Because the shooting range was shortened and the accuracy was greatly improved, the first stone bomb landed accurately on the opponent's first battleship, with loud bangs. After this gun, the thunder cannon that set the ship on the third deck was smashed into several pieces. Although there was no casualties, the shock to the sailors was huge.

As the first stone bomb fell, the opposite ship made a rumbling sound, one by one, one by one, and continued to attack the Jingzhou Navy warship. The Jingzhou Navy, who made the misjudgment, suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Although these stone bombs only hit one or two at random, as long as they landed on the ship, they caused huge damage. The first warship was concentrated by Cao Xinyu and fifteen thunderbolt cannons on all five ships. After several rounds, the ship was no longer in shape. The wooden buildings on several decks were almost destroyed. On the deck, there were dead bodies or injured soldiers. The screams were endless, and blood flowed, flowing along the smashed ship gang to the Cangjiang River, dyeing the roaring river red.

Before the boarding was brought to the front, the general warship had been completely destroyed.

"Accelerate, get up, approach them, approach them!" Ji Wuliang's eyes were red and roared constantly. Only by continuing to approach could he avoid such a fatal blow.

The horror in Ji Wuliang's heart was not limited to the battle in front of him. He was constantly harassed by another huge worry. These warships all came from the Jingzhou Navy. Now, there is no doubt that they fell into another force. Ji Wuliang is not stupid. He knew that in this area, those who are qualified to do this can even think of who they are. Thinking of Cheng Qun's order just sent the navy's order yesterday, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

The fleet I saw before was not much or too little, just like thirteen five-masted giant ships. Now there are only five people participating in the war, and the other eight people avoided the battlefield. Obviously, they did not have the ability to participate in the war. They did not need to avoid so many large ships instead. There was only one possibility, they were not armed, and they used other purposes.

What are they going to do? Do you still need to ask? They must be transporting troops to Jiangnan. What are they doing? Of course, it is related to the war that is going on in front of General Cheng.

If the Northern Army joins the war on the South Bank, it will ruin General Cheng’s plan and Ji Wuliang dare not think about what the generals are waiting for the Ji family.

Annihilated them, defeated their opponents, caught up with their fleet, sunk them all into the river, and made a death-free testimony. At the moment, Ji Wuliang's mind was full of this idea.

The opponent has more ships than him. He has destroyed one of his own ships now, and the number is more superior. However, each of the opponent's ships is not equipped with many sailors. Standing on the roof of the command ship, Ji Wuliang can see clearly that warships can be bought, but sailors do not say they have them. This is their own opportunity. As long as they are connected to the side and take advantage of the number of people, they will not have the chance to win.

The fleets of both sides intertwined.

"Click on the side!" Ji Wuliang roared wildly.

Countless hooks were stretched out from the Jingzhou Navy ship, hooking the opponent's warship, and springboards were placed on the other end. The Jingzhou Navy's sailors held big swords and shouted and stepped on the springboard, running towards the opponent's warship.

At this time, the sailors of the Navy of the Northern Army had just done one thing. They pulled away the oily skins that were originally covered on the warship, revealing things like iron hulls.

Thunderbolt Fire!

Up to ten Thunderbolt Fire transmitters are installed on each side.

When he pulled the mechanism hard, a sharp roar suddenly sounded. Countless short crossbows were like locusts, whistling at the Jingzhou naval officers and soldiers who were rushing towards them in a dense manner, sweeping them down. The sound of thumping sounds continued, like dumplings, falling densely into the river. The springboard was quickly swept away, and the rain of the thunder fire extended and fired, squeezed on the side of the ship's side. The Jingzhou navy, who was about to jump to the gang fight, became a living target and was shot on the ship one by one.

As the warship continued forward, springboards fell into the water. At this time, there was no living person on the deck on the Jingzhou Navy's side. Those who were lucky enough to die were also shrouded in the bodies and blood, and some eyes were dumbfounded at the warship far away from them.

Ji Wuliang's eyes were dull, and his mind was no longer able to react at this time. He watched the enemy ships turn around the river and then sail back. This time, the one aimed at him was the other side of the ship.

Because the distance was slightly widened, the thunder cannon on the opponent's warship roared again.

"Retreat, retreat, run!" Ji Wuliang finally reacted this time. He had no blood on his face at this time, and he no longer wanted to destroy his opponent. He thought about how to escape alive.

The cruel and ruthless attack came again. This time, the Jingzhou navy was prepared and the casualties were greatly reduced. However, their fighting spirit had been completely thrown into the Cangjiang River, thinking about how to escape from this terrifying hell.

"Interlude, partition!" Cao Xinyu danced, "I want those warships, I want them all!"

The sudden encounter of this watercraft began suddenly and was fast. From the discovery between the two sides and the end of the war, it took less than an hour in total. There was no traditional naval battle, and it was completely defeated. If it was to be called the platoon, it was only later that the naval army of the North Army boarded the Jingzhou naval warship to capture prisoners of war and confiscated the spoils. The four Jingzhou naval five-masted ships only escaped Ji Wuliang's command ships. The other three were completely defeated, and the other three were surrounded and surrendered. Together with the surviving officers and soldiers, they became prisoners of the North Army of the North.

"Trag it back, drag it back!" Cao Xinyu smiled happily. He didn't even let the destroyed ship go, "Trag it back, repair it, can't be used for warships, and can still be sent to the ship by transportation. Hey, you prodigal son, have you seen the Red Horse Ship with a belly facing the sky? Turn it over and get it back. We are poor, so we have to save our lives!"

He jumped up and down and Cao Xinyu lost his calmness in commanding the battle before, and he looked like a nouveau riche. On the surface of the river, any boat that could still float was tied with ropes, dragged behind the battleship, and sailed towards the Boyang Wangjiangwan Navy Base.

From this day on, the navy battle opened a new combat mode and a new era began!

At the foot of Cuiping Mountain, a fierce battle had just ended. Cheng Qun squinted his eyes and looked at the battlefield on the mountain where the bee fire had not yet stopped, with a slightly solemn expression.

"I underestimate you!" he murmured to himself.

"General, what did you say?" Liu Huajian, beside him, turned his face and looked at Cheng Qun. Liu Huajian had set up a fatal trap between Fukang and Cuiping Mountain, waiting for Hongni to try to grab Fukang back and give her a fatal blow when he opened the escape passage. However, he did not expect Hongni stopped on Cuiping Mountain, causing his arrangement to be completely empty. He had to rush to the foot of Cuiping Mountain and participate in the siege.

"I said, I underestimated this woman. I originally thought they crashed into your trap, but she didn't expect that she would stop and choose a good place!" Cheng Qun sighed: "Yan Da gave birth to a good daughter, and Shen Feng taught her well!" A series of events were linked together, and they had already confirmed the identity of Hong Niangzi." Speaking of which, I knew Yan Da and Shen Feng back then. We were both participants in that battle back then!" Cheng Qun sighed, "I didn't expect that decades later, I would actually face the battlefield with my comrade-in-arms' daughter, which was ridiculous to think about it!"

"General Cheng, is the Hongniang defending Cuiping Mountain? Are you waiting for something?"

"Of course, she didn't give up, or she was waiting for reinforcements, or she was waiting for changes in the situation. Cuiping Mountain was big enough, and the food and grass she brought with her was enough. She wanted to fight a protracted battle with me! Stay with me and see who can't hold on first."

"Is the general worried about Jiangzhou?"

"Su Can is not a fool. I have spent a long time here. It would be strange if they don't jump up and pick up the bargain!"

"So we have to fight quickly!" Liu Huajian's face turned cold, "We can't give him any chance!"
