Chapter 465 The power of the water tank

Looking at the water tank, it swayed into the water, and then floated downstream along the river, and it was a place full of warships. In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out, so that's it!

However, how powerful is this hastily created thing? Can it kill Chen Youliang's fleet? Looking at Chen Feng's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he was already confident.

In fact, Chen Feng is not very sure. If Jiao Yu is by his side, he is still very sure. Nowadays, many of them are unknown. For example, how powerful are these two medicines? Can they blow out those big ships? For example, how long can those incense burn? Will they be blown out in the middle? Or will they be annihilated by the river? These are all unknown.

What Chen Feng did was a water mine, which was a primitive timed water mine.

The thunder body of the mine is the large water tank outside. In order to close the launch intention, it covers the soil on it. The launch night is less than one-third of the height of the water tank. In this way, the water tank can finally float on the water surface. Moreover, from the outside, you cannot see anything inside, and you only think it is an ordinary water tank. At the same time, the incense stick is also hidden in the water tank and is not easily blown by the wind or water.

Going downstream, it is best to let the water tank catch fire and explode when it just enters the opponent's camp. The scene must be very spectacular.

These large water tanks almost used more than half of the gunpowder in the cabin.

Liu Gou'er and others anxiously put the water tanks one by one in the water. At the same time, Chen Youliang's fleet had discovered them on the distant river surface.

Although Chen Youliang was commanding the attack on the city wall with one force, now, seeing that the city wall had entered a tug-of-war, he would climb up to the city wall at any time and take down the Taiping City, Chen Youliang was delighted.

However, Chen Youliang also sent several ships to monitor other directions.

Now, watching these two boats come out, they thought they were some big men in the city who wanted to escape, so they immediately chased after them. When they approached, they saw these two boats throwing these water tanks into the water.

While chasing him, the news was also reported to Chen Youliang.

After hearing the report, Chen Youliang stood at the top of the three-story building boat, looked into the distance, and passed through his fleet, and could see the water tanks floating swaying from the river.

What the hell are the defenders doing?

Chen Youliang looked at these things. Could it be that there was someone hidden inside? Even if it was hidden, what could it be for him to come to his own fleet? His own ship was so high that they could not climb up at all. Even if they came up, they would probably be hacked to death immediately.

Chen Youliang didn't understand, and his attention was not on this. The city was about to break down. He was full of confidence and occupied this place. Tomorrow, he went to attack Yingtian!

However, since it was the gift given to him by the other party, he could not react without a reaction. He immediately ordered that if he saw the water tanks approaching, he would fight back with a bow and arrow from afar!

What effect can be achieved when using a bow and arrow to hit the water tank? Therefore, when the order is passed down, the commander who will adapt will change the order to use a rocket to fight back. If someone is hidden in the water tank, the rocket may have some effect. However, it is not easy to insert the rocket into the mouth of the water tank accurately.

Finally, the last one was put out. At this time, the two chasing ships were only one hundred steps away from their side. Chen Feng did not hesitate and immediately ordered his return. At the same time, he asked Liu Gouer's men to fight back with firearms.

As soon as the firearm sounded, a few people on the opposite boat fell to the deck. Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, these two ships that had no ability to fight were accelerated to retreat.

Chen Feng didn't see what the scene was like.

The people who were fighting on the top of the city did not see clearly. They were killing and killing all the time. They knew that they could not retreat. Once they took a step back, the city would not be able to defend.

You have to withstand even if you die!

Even Zhao Kuan and others who operated the bowl gun had to abandon the firearms after the enemy came up, holding the cold weapon, and chopping against the people rushing up.

There was blood rain everywhere on the top of the city.

The gap in numbers puts them at a disadvantage, but they all know that behind them is Mr. Zhu and Lord Chen. These people are their beloved leaders. Even if they die, they cannot let the thieves attack the city these days.

There were too many people and boats on the opposite side, densely packed, like ants. No matter how they killed them, they could not kill them. Just under the city wall, the opponent's boats were so crowded that they could walk around at will that they could not fall on the water. The ladders set up on the bow of the boat were even more powerful weapons for their attack. They climbed up one by one, some climbed to the top of the city, and some were pried down halfway, and then all fell into the water.

Soon, the water surface was covered with scarlet red.

No one noticed the warriors fighting fiercely, and those big water tanks came swayingly.

The rolling river water flows eastward, and with the water of the Yangtze River, the large water tank is also floating eastward, and the fragrance inside it is burning in a prosperous place.

Although this was a temporary idea of ​​Chen Feng, by chance, it had already burned two-thirds of it at this time, and soon it would burn on those irritable gunpowder.

Just in front of these water tanks, several boats were blocking them. On the boat, the archers had already raised their bows and arrows high, and the arrows were burning with flames.

"Let me," a centurion shouted, and then countless rockets shot over.

If there were people hidden in those water tanks, if the rocket shot into it, it would definitely burn him to roast the whole sheep.

However, most of the arrows fell into the water, with only a few hitting the water tank, jingling. Of course, one was very lucky and shot into the water tank.

There was no scream, nothing, the rocket shot into it and was soon extinguished.

They looked at each other. Could it be that those were ordinary water tanks, and the defenders hoped that these water tanks could hit their own ships and then crashed their own ships into one? How could that be possible?

The rocket was very dangerous and almost got into the gunpowder and knocked it. The water tank was covered with a lot of sand and soil, so it didn't get into it. After the rocket entered, it was quickly extinguished. After it was extinguished, it turned into smoke. As soon as the smoke was released, the incense was extinguished and turned into a dumb thunder.

The water tank was swaying and just floated to the gang of the boat that had just shot the arrow. The person on the bow of the boat just glanced at it and couldn't help but shake his head, saying that there was nothing.

Because the bow of the ship is relatively high, you can only see half of the water tank when you look. If a person hides it inside, it is impossible to hide it only in the lower half. Apart from hiding people, they can't think of anything useful to hide.

Since there is no one, it is up to the defenders to really want to use this thing to sank your own ship, or use these things to make it inconvenient for you to sail.

However, this was not harmful to our side. After seeing these water tanks clearly, they did not continue shooting arrows and returned to the fleet to report. Now, the city was about to break, and they all wanted to go up to the front to make contributions, and no one wanted to do such a thankless job.

What a pity, I don’t have such good luck.

From afar, the flag of Tianwan Army had been seen and inserted into the other party's city.

"Tell me the order, let the reserve team, Lord Chen's army, go to the city immediately." Hua Yun shouted. At this time, his silver spear was already covered with blood.

At this point when the battle was over, he had already mobilized a group of soldiers from the other three city walls, but the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and the enemy attacked very fiercely. Now, the city wall is in danger of losing at any time.

At this time, it was not to mention Chen Feng's troops, but even Mr. Zhu's guards, who had to go to the battlefield. Although Hua Yun was brave, he could still judge the situation.

It is very unfavorable to me. Even if Lord Chen’s five hundred troops arrive, it may not last long.

"Report, Lord Chen's troops had gone out through the South Gate half an hour ago." The messenger reported in a hurry.

Could it be that Lord Chen ran away? The coward (the one Yun looked down upon the most is this kind of person.

"Where is the lord?" Hua Yun asked.

"The lord is nowhere to be seen."

If the lord followed Lord Chen and walked through the water, even if the city fell, he would have no regrets. In short, he had tried his best. Hua Yun thought about this and raised his spear and rushed forward.

On the top of the city, there were more and more Tianwan troops. As long as they were asked to guard the place where the ladder was, people would continue to climb up, and then they would not be far from the city.

And now, this is the situation.

There are fewer and fewer people around you.

"Boom, boom, boom." At this most dangerous moment, suddenly, sounds came one after another from the water in the distance.

When the incense was burning, the gunpowder was finally ignited, and the gunpowder suddenly started to burn violently.

Gunpowder is not a **. Gunpowder can only burn but not explode. Only in a confined space can high-pressure gas be formed and the container is broken, and it can explode. For example, the last time Chen Feng asked someone to dig a tunnel to attack the city was this method.

This time, Chen Feng used the same trick again, but in a hurry, although he covered the gunpowder with soil, as the gunpowder burned, the soil was washed into the sky.

There were nearly five hundred water tanks, less than one hundred. With the explosion, the debris of the water tank flew everywhere, and the surrounding ships were shaken strongly. Some of them were even smashed by the debris. However, almost all of them were above the waterline, and only two ships were sunk.

This mine did not achieve the expected results of the mine.

However, other water tanks played a better role. These water tanks were like a bowl gun, and all the gunpowder was sprayed into the air after burning.

Since we already knew that there were no people hidden in the water tank, many warships found that the water tank was close to them and did not take care of it. Now, as soon as the medicine was sprayed out, they immediately ignited the side of the warship that was close to it.

It is very difficult to extinguish it by being ignited by gunpowder.

So, amid the explosion, some unfortunate warships immediately ignited flames, from small to large, and soon the entire warships caught fire.

Fortunately, the wind is not strong today, and unlike when Zhuge Liang burned the Red Cliff, Chen Youliang's warship was not tied together with iron chains.

However, when the warship caught fire, the explosions were still ringing around, and almost everyone was surprised and stunned. What was going on?

In addition to more than twenty thunders, the nearly five hundred water tanks really rang for a long time. The sound of the deafening sound made the soldiers on the city stop fighting and look at the river.

At this time, black smoke rolled on the river.

It was on fire! The warship was on fire! There were fires everywhere! Seeing this situation, Hua Yun was ecstatic.

The rumbling sound was similar to the sound of the firearm just now. Needless to say, it must have been done by Lord Chen. Although I don’t know how Lord Chen did it, Hua Yun knew that now, the situation of victory and defeat has finally begun to reverse.

Seeing that his warship was shrouded in black smoke, in fact, there were not many warships burning, but when the black gunpowder burned, the black smoke was very large, which gave Tian Wanjun a sense of misunderstanding, as if his warships were already on the ground.

This change has left many people no longer interested in fighting.

"Brothers, come on, drive these bandits down the city!" Hua Yun shouted loudly, shook the silver spear in his hand, and rushed up again.

The others were also energetic. In the moment, they really felt powerless. The city was about to be broken, and now they all mustered up courage.

The soldiers who came up to the city were already panicked, and the changes behind them made them unwilling to face the challenge.

The people below did not climb up again, and the people on the top of the city were hacked to death and pierced. Soon, the top of the city was clean and all the defenders were left.

Below, the opponent's warship had already begun to retreat.

The smoke rolled, and the black smoke even floated to the top of the city and the river surface was in a mess.

The warships scattered everywhere, and many of the warships that had already caught fire gave up their efforts and jumped into the water, hoping to swim on other ships.

And in the black smoke, some people were saved, while others were washed away with the river.

The majestic fleet just now seemed to have suffered a disaster.

When Chen Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang and others climbed to the city wall again, the smell of blood was still very strong, and corpses were everywhere on the city wall. You can imagine how intense the battle was.

There are no people standing.

For a moment, Chen Feng thought that all these brothers who were guarding the city had been fought over.

"Mr. Chen, did you release the fire on the river just now?" When he saw Chen Feng coming up, someone next to him said, and he still didn't stand up.

"I released it." Chen Feng replied, and later he noticed, wasn't the person who spoke Hua Yun?

"General Hua, are you injured?" Chen Feng asked.

"No, I'm just tired." Hua Yun said.
