Great Song Pirate

Chapter 443
The ships equipped with artillery in the Fubo Army fleet began to follow the Crossbar and slowly approached the river mouth. After approaching a distance of about two miles, they arranged their bows against the wind along the coast and formed a column. One side is aimed at the river bank.

After seeing the Skeleton Army fleet slowly approaching the river mouth, the occupying soldiers on the shore will start to get nervous, check their throwing carts again, and even call people to send some bed crossbows to the shore and set them up , As soon as the Skeleton Army rushed into the estuary, they fired a volley of cannons, and let the Skeleton Army taste their power to take over people, but after they made all the preparations, they saw the Skeleton Army's fleet. They stopped two miles away and formed a file along the shore of the estuary, pointing the side of the hull on the shore.

"What are these damned skeleton troops doing? Why did they stop? Don't they still want to spend the night at sea? Come here! Don't you know how to use sky thunder? I have thrown a car, let's see which one of us is better! Some Champa soldiers cursed angrily, pointing at the ships of the Skeleton Army that started to drop their sails and stopped on the sea.

The officers of the Champa Army also stretched their heads to look at the Skeleton Army's fleet, not knowing what they were going to do, but they always felt that something was wrong, and their hearts began to get hairy.

Things were really as wrong as these Zhanren officers thought. After the Skeleton Army fleet stopped, the ship began to get busy again. The gunners pulled the artillery back one after another, and wiped the barrel carefully again. These cannons are not less effective, and it is time to maintain them.

After the rest of the people finished what they were doing, they also seized some favorable positions one after another. They all became spectators talking and laughing watching the gunners busy, talking about the target shooting competition they were about to start in a while.

At this time, the captains of each ship stood on the ship tower and faced the gunners and called out: "My lord has ordered you to have a target shooting competition today. This place is only two miles away from the shore. Anyone who hits the occupant and throws the car will get a prize." , Those who miss five shots are not allowed to eat tonight! Because guys who miss five shots are trash and will only waste our gunpowder and shells! Did you hear that?"

The people on the boat immediately let out a burst of laughter, where there is still a little tension in the war!The tense atmosphere in the first battle just now disappeared in the fleet after this order was conveyed.

The gunners agreed one after another, and the gunners of each gun spoke loudly to encourage his subordinates: "Little ones! You have all listened. If you don't want to be called trash by others in the future, you should be more careful. This is different from the ship that occupied the people just now, you can shoot it however you want, this time we have only one target for each cannon, if it fails to hit, I will be the first to jump into the sea! Still eat, eat ass!" The result It was their words that immediately elicited bursts of laughter.

Amidst the chatter and laughter, some soldiers secretly opened their plates, betting to see who would not be able to make dinner in the end, but the captain found out that he had a shot, and obediently hid aside to continue watching the gunner's performance.

These gunners also put in all their strength, loaded the gunpowder with gunpowder, compacted the gunpowder with a cork, and picked out the most desirable shells into the barrel like picking a baby, and pushed the gun to the gun door , and began to aim carefully. To be honest, on the ups and downs of the ship, it is not easy to hit those occupying throwing cars on the shore two miles away. As the ship swings, as long as the gunner If there is a slight error in time, it may not be possible to hit the shell somewhere. The gunners are very clear about this, so when they started aiming, all the gunners closed their mouths, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xu Yi also ran into the gun bay under the deck of the Zongheng with a smile on his face to watch the performance of the gunners. In fact, he didn't expect to kill all the dumped cars on the shore. Now his naval guns There is no follow-up device at all. Even the sharp gunner dare not say that he can guarantee to hit such a distant target. It is luck if he hits it, and it is natural if he misses it. Let's relax, and use shelling to completely disrupt the Zhan people on the shore, reducing the threat for his next move.

Seeing that the gunners had finished loading and aiming, Xu Yi took the lead in ordering loudly to the gunners on the Crossbar: "Fire!"

So the gunners ignited the fuzes on the fire door one after another, and immediately, led by the crossbar, there was a roar on the sea, and dozens of flames spewed out from the side of the crossbar, urging the solid projectiles to quickly fly towards coastal.

Following the sound of the Zongheng's cannon, the captains of all the ships gave orders to fire the cannons one after another, so the gunboats lined up outside the coast fired their cannons one after another, and shot the projectiles towards the shore.

The shells whizzed across the sea and smashed heavily into the group of people throwing cars on the shore, and immediately set off pieces of sea sand and gravel on the shore, and left deep craters on the ground. They are trying to observe The Zhanren soldiers of the Skeleton Army fleet on the sea were immediately frightened by the shelling and ran away. They were still holding on to the ropes, but the Zhanren gunners who were waiting for the cannonball were immediately frightened out of their bodies and left one after another. Now they know what the skeleton army is going to do. It turns out that the sky thunder of the skeleton army can hit them at such a long distance, but they are still waiting here foolishly. Is it equivalent to stretching your neck to let the enemy cut it?Immediately there was chaos on the shore.

Xu Yi leaned over the gun door and looked towards the shore with binoculars. As he expected, the first round of shelling basically missed a few occupant throwers, and only a few guns were lucky and hit their targets. , Immediately, the gunners who hit the target cheered, which made the gunners around who didn't hit the target very embarrassing, so they immediately opened their posture and reloaded.

But Xu Yi didn't care about this. The effect of solid bullets on the beach is far less powerful than those on solid ground. He understands this matter better than anyone else, but he still nodded in satisfaction, because he saw those who occupied the land on the shore. People had already started to get confused, so they put down the binoculars and said to the gunners in the gun bay with a smile, "Don't be discouraged, aim quickly and continue to shoot! You still have four chances!"

The encouraged gunners immediately became excited again. After reloading, they pushed the cannon to the gun door and aimed again. At this time, Xu Yi began to count secretly. Although such solid bullets are powerful for hitting ships, But when it comes to bombing on land, its power is really not flattering. After going back to Liuqiu Island this time, it is necessary to get flower bombs and equip them for artillery. It was also exposed in the naval battle of Mei Island and the battle with Zhanren just now. The problem of the slow rate of fire of this kind of artillery came out. If the rate of fire of their artillery could be increased a little, it would be impossible for the centipede boat to approach their ship. This problem also needs to be solved.

Just as Xu Yi was summing up secretly, the gunners fired the artillery again, and there was another roar, and the cabin immediately filled with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke. Although Xu Yi had smelled a lot of gunpowder smoke, he was still caught by this The strong smell of gunpowder smoke made him cough, so Cui Yan immediately invited Xu Yi out of the gun cabin and returned to the deck, and let the gunners in the gun cabin go crazy!
Standing on the ship tower, the air here is much better than that in the gun cabin. After taking a few deep breaths, Xu Yi continued to observe the situation on the shore with a telescope. There was a commotion, and they left those dumped cars one after another, and began to run in all directions, so Xu Yi smiled and called Cui Yan and said: "Wang Zhi, Zheng Guang, Lin Xiong and the others are ordered to attack immediately and approach the mouth of the river. As long as anyone dares to come back and try to operate Throw the car, and immediately use the ballista to launch thunderbolts and thunder to blow them away! Be quick!"

Cui Yan immediately ran to deliver the order, and those who received the order immediately led their fleet to set sail and speed up towards the mouth of the river.

However, the bombardment from the Zongheng and these gunboats continued, and the shells fell on the shore one after another, causing sand and gravel to fly on the shore. They didn't really kill or wound many soldiers and generals, but they really scared them a lot.

At this time, Zhanren hid far away to a place where no shells fell, looked in horror at the skeleton army ships that were still roaring on the sea, and saw a large number of skeleton army ships heading towards the river mouth in horror. Come on, some Champa generals realized the seriousness of the matter, and they realized something, so they shouted: "Hurry up and go back to the shore, hurry up and intercept the fleet of the skeleton army with a throwing car. It will be too late! Hurry up!"

As they said that, some Zhan officers began to brave the artillery fire and rushed towards the dump truck near the river mouth. Under their leadership, some bold Zhan soldiers also began to rush over with them, but at this time, the two guns The missed shell just landed in their crowd, and immediately a few unlucky ones were smashed to pieces by the shell, and the flying iron pellets tore them into pieces, turning them into flying flesh and blood. The Zhan soldiers who went out saw such a tragic scene, but they were immediately scared back.

After some gunners fired five cannons as required, they stopped with depressed faces, because they failed to blast their targets into the sky after firing five cannons. It seems that dinner is not enough!But at this time, the captain's roar came from above: "Everyone is in position, sail, approach the mouth of the river, the artillerymen are ready to shoot, the ballista is loaded with thunder and thunder, and the archers are in position! Hurry up!"

The soldiers on these ships that were shelling immediately got busy and rushed to their battle positions one after another. Xia finally recovered from his depressed state, and hurriedly started to load again, filling the bag of shotguns into the barrel, and aimed the gun at the coast again.

Those Fubo army ships that set sail and rushed to the mouth of the river were already approaching the mouth of the river at this time. They saw some fearless Zhan people running to the throwing carts placed at the mouth of the river, and began to adjust the shooting angle of the throwing carts, trying to shoot at the mouth of the river. Their boat outside the mouth of the river, so the ballista players who had already been on the alert moved the ballista unceremoniously, and immediately aimed at the throwing carts on the shore, and at this time the throwing carts had entered the position of their ballista. Within the shooting range, the ballista players immediately ignited the thunderbolts in the chute, and pulled the trigger with all their strength, so the ballistas on each ship made a buzzing sound, and one after another, the thunderbolts flew to the shore. Among the people on the side and those throwing cars.

At such a distance, the accuracy of the ballista is already quite high. All the thunderbolts fired basically landed in the enemy group very accurately. Even if they knocked over a lot of Zhan soldiers, these soldiers watched in horror. The strange things that were smoking in front of them, before they could figure out what they were, turned into strands of unjust souls in the rumbling explosions, and died on the spot with blood and flesh flying, and those dumped cars near the river mouth were also there. One after another fell to the ground amidst the sound of the explosion, turning into a pile of waste wood. Such a blow was undoubtedly another fatal blow to the Zhanren soldiers who just tried to resist. The occupiers and generals gathered together broke up again, and fled in all directions. At this time, the Zongheng and several gunboats also approached the coast, and the artillery on the ship roared again. Those panicked occupying soldiers who were unobstructed on the beach simply swept away and killed them like grass on the beach. The original white sand was burned red with blood, which looked like a So dazzling, so scarlet!

The boats of the Fubo army sailed into the river mouth, and the few boats of the Champa navy who had fled here before saw them, and fled towards the inland river again like frightened birds. They were shocked At this time, there is no more fighting spirit, so I went to fight this terrible skeleton army.

After entering the estuary, the Fubo Army ships sailed in the opposite direction to the wharf. Along the way, they still received some attacks from the shore. Some Zhan people attacked the Fubo Army fleet in the river with a few throwing cars from the shore. , but the accuracy of throwing the car is really not flattering. Most of the boulders launched landed on the water far away from their warships, stirring up waves in vain. The bombardment of the upper ballista did not give them a second chance to fight back, so they were completely destroyed. The destroyed throwing carts were surrounded by corpses of Zhanren generals. Some Zhanren archers shot arrows from the shore toward The arrows released on the boat also drew a fierce counterattack from the boat. The archers on the boat unceremoniously used the crossbows in their hands to hunt them down one by one on the river bank.

As they advanced, there were fallen Zhan people's corpses everywhere on both sides, and soon they saw the pier being rebuilt. Outside the pier was the Hoi An Town they had burned down, and the ruins still told the story of what happened here. However, the occupying soldiers on the shore began to retreat at this time, and they were already in a mess. No one organized them to fight back or prevent the Fubo army from approaching the shore. The chaotic scene made the Fubo army almost unaffected. Any effective resistance will be docked on the pier one after another.

But at this moment, a tiger-wolf army dressed in black clothes and armor suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, waving the scythe of death like a black god of death, and took away the lives of a large number of soldiers and generals. It was Yang Zaixing, who led the infantry, and defeated several Zhan soldiers guarding the road leading to Toulon continuously along the way, and rushed to Da Zhanhaikou without stopping. They swept all the lives along the way like a flood , and drove the Zhan people who were already in chaos to Da Zhan Haikou. In front of Yang Zaixing's Fubo infantry, these Zhan people no longer dared to call themselves fierce. In front of these seemingly invulnerable skeleton troops, they It's like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. They also slash each other, but they want to be quick when they strike. What's more frightening is the tacit understanding between them. They cooperate with both offense and defense. The frightening thing is the strange armor on their bodies. It doesn't look amazing, but its defense is frighteningly high. As long as it is the vital part, it is tightly wrapped, and their generals are all very strong. They were so ferocious that they almost didn't need to use a second move to kill them. The methods were so pungent that the generals who encountered them couldn't say anything, and they were quickly slaughtered.

Yang Zaixing rode his horse and led the army all the way to Dazhanhaikou like a broken bamboo. He killed countless enemy troops on the way. He heard the rumble of cannons from the opening of the battle from a distance, so he raised his arms and raised his gun and shouted: " The lord has already broken through the Dazhanhaikou, brothers, speed up, let's go to the pier and meet with the lord!"

The infantry soldiers behind them responded loudly and accelerated their pace again.

Before the boat stopped, Lin Xiong jumped onto the pier with a simple knife in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers in the navy landed! Kill me and meet up with the brothers in the infantry!"

The captains of the ships who received the order swarmed to the pier with jumping helpers, and immediately gathered behind Lin Xiong, roaring and killed on the pier. Once there was a bloody storm on the wharf, and countless Zhanren who came to stop them were instantly submerged by their torrent, turning into a pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

When Xu Yi set foot on the pier of Dazhanhaikou again, the battle here was basically over, and Yang Zaixing's infantry had already reached the pier and saw Xu Yi.

"Fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his life, and came to report to the lord!" Yang Zaixing stepped forward to pay homage to Xu Yi with the smell of blood all over his body.

"Thank you for your hard work again! Now is not the time to talk, you and Lin Xiong will join forces immediately and clear out the North Bank occupying people as soon as possible!" Xu Yi did not let him take a breather, and immediately ordered.

"The last general has an order!" Yang Zaixing didn't make any bargaining, so he turned around and met with Lin Xiong's navy troops, and immediately divided his troops to the east and west to start the cleanup.

And Xu Yi ordered: "Sun Hai led the fleet to search upstream immediately. Any Zhanren who appeared along the coast are the targets of your attack. Thoroughly clean up Zhanren's boats in the river. There must be no half of the boats here before dark." Still floating on the water!"

After Sun Hai took the order, he immediately boarded an auxiliary ship and sailed upriver with the fleet, and began to clean up the river. If you think about it, I don't believe that this time I will hurt you, Abu Alan!
