Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Often at this time, the Celestial Dynasty took their worthless things and rewarded them generously.

It's like sending beggars away.

In short, this kind of tribute is not because the other party is really afraid of you, but because they want to ask for something good.

Now that the Song army has arrived in the country of Luni, it is already five thousand miles away from Guangzhou, and it will take more than two months for sea ships to reach it.

Of course, Luni Kingdom didn't take Song Jun seriously.

After all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

Chapter 950 Artillery on the sea! (first update)

Luni Harbor is still very lively.

In the morning, the navies of the Luni Kingdom boarded the ship one after another.

A war started silently like this.

At the beginning, the merchants at the port didn't know what to do when there was going to be a war.

Even when some people saw the warships of the Ni country, they didn't feel any difference.

After all, the warships of this era are not that different from merchant ships in appearance, especially the warships of a small country like Luni.

After the twenty warships were assembled, they began to surround the Song Army warships in front.

"Get the artillery ready!" Li Kun quickly stepped onto the deck and shouted loudly.

The Song soldiers on the deck were already busy. Some were furling the sails, some were carrying shells, and some were preparing crossbows.

There were about [-] Song troops on one ship, and two ships came, and the total number of Song troops was only [-].

However, the logic of fighting at sea is different from fighting on land. Maritime warfare depends more on warships and weapons than on the number of people.

"General staff, the enemy is coming towards us!" Wang Ming shouted.

The soldiers of the Song Army around them all entered the state of preparing for battle, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I saw it." Li Kun said.

There are two ships of the Song Army, and Liu Xiang has another ship. Liu Xiang's ship is not far from the Song Army's warship.

At this time, the crew on Liu Xiang's ship was already in panic.

"Officer, what should we do now, we have angered these mud figurines!"

"The warships of the imperial court are here, you are so scared!" Liu Xiang said so, but his heart was already getting nervous.

There is no law of the Song Dynasty on the sea, and no one will care if you are killed.

"Officer, these mud figurines are crazy!"

"Officer, let's run!"

"Order the oarsmen below to be ready to evacuate at any time!" Liu Xiang said quickly.

Yesterday he still vaguely hoped that the warships of the imperial court could frighten the Mud figurines, but now that he saw the battle with his own eyes, he realized how terrible the battle is.

It's over, hopeless!

The warships of the mud figurines were not as big as those of the Song army, but they were also very light. The people on it roared wantonly and gathered in groups.

Soon the distance between the two sides narrowed.

There were even a few boats approaching Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang immediately ordered people to start paddling.

"General staff, the enemy is only about two miles away from our army, do you want to shell?" Wang Ming's tone also became anxious.

A trace of anxiety also faintly flashed on the faces of the other soldiers of the Song Army.

After all, there are only two warships on one's own side, and twenty ships on the other side, so the numbers are not equal.

"Calm down!" Li Kun took a deep breath, and his palms began to break out in cold sweat.

He had never fought against the mud figurine, so he didn't know the real strength of the mud figurine, so he was naturally uncertain.

In addition, it is now a long-distance raid, coming to other people's territory to fight.

See you soon now.

The mud figurine's warship was getting closer and closer, and the people on it could already clearly hear shouting and cursing in noisy languages.

They screamed excitedly one by one, with knives in their hands, and some with bows and arrows in their hands.

It doesn't look like a regular army, but it looks like the group of pirates that were suppressed in Vijaya in Champa.

"General Staff, the enemy is only one mile away from us, and will soon enter the artillery range!"

"Calm down!" Li Kun said in a low voice.

He was afraid that his voice would be misunderstood by the artillerymen.

I saw that eight ships began to encircle Li Kun, and the other eight were encircling another Song Army warship.

There are four more ships running to trouble Liu Xiang.

It's not too far from the port, only four or five miles. On this cloudless and sunny day, the people on the merchant ships by the sea can almost see the movement ahead with their naked eyes.

It was only at this time that people realized that there might be an armed conflict next.

And the king of Luni Kingdom, who was sitting in the palace of Wangcheng, was also excited at this time.

We can use this opportunity to teach Song people a lesson, deter those Song people, buy silk and ceramics in the future, and keep prices down!

"Officer, they are catching up!"

"Officer, what should I do?"

"Officer, I don't want to die yet!"

"..."

On Liu Xiang's boat, the crew yelled out in horror.

Liu Xiang was at a loss for a while, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Let the paddlers speed up!"

"It's already the fastest. There are many people on the other side, and the boat is light!"

"..."

"General Staff, the enemy is only a hundred feet away from us, and has already entered the range of the artillery!" Wang Ming shouted.

"Shut up! I've seen it!" Li Kun said angrily, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he took a deep breath.

No one dared to fire without his order.

Seeing that it was getting closer, the opponent quickly entered 200 meters.

Already he could vaguely see the other party's tanned and shiny skin, and even the knife in his hand gleamed sharply in the sun.

The archers also seem to be ready to hitch their bows.

When it reached 150 meters, the eight ships were divided into two sides, surrounded the Song army, and prepared to shoot a wave of bows and arrows at the Song army with the dense soldiers gathered on the side.

However, this side was just exposed to the front of Song Jun's artillery.

"Fire!" Li Kun suddenly roared, "Fire! Fire!"

With a muffled bang, a tongue of flame spewed out from the muzzle of the tiger crouching gun, and an iron cannon roared out of the gun bore, rushing towards the enemy ship about 150 meters away.

The first one hit the opponent's ship's side, instantly setting off countless debris. The debris splashed on the face of Boni soldiers, and small and sharp wood chips smashed into people's eyeballs.

Before he could react to what happened, an iron ball the size of a fist pounced and hit his chest.

With a dull sound, the iron cannon broke ribs, shattered internal organs, and lifted the soldier's body into the air in an instant.

This happened in just the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the other artillery also roared.

Iron cannons spewed out from the barrel.

A ship is equipped with 42 guns, 20 on the left and right sides, and one on the front and back.

The 20 iron cannons quickly impacted on the three mud figurine warships in front.

bang bang bang...

Some fell to the sea and stirred up waves, while others hit the opponent's deck and rushed directly into the crowd.

An iron ball can lift four or five people into the air.

The blood splashed on the faces of the people around was still warm.

These people didn't realize what happened at all.

There was even a ship whose mast was hit, knocked two-thirds off, and squeaked and tipped over.

There were panicked screams below.

Another warship also started to fire, and the series of cannons made the mud figurine think that God was angry.

The mud figurine, who was making a fuss just now, was beaten into a daze in less than ten seconds.

On the other side, the four mud warships that were about to kill Liu Xiang's boat were also stunned by the sound of artillery from this side.

Chapter 951 The Prologue of the Ocean Age (Second Change)

The mud figurine was beaten dumb, not that the mud figurine was defeated miserably.

The hit rate of the Song Army's artillery is too low. In order to improve the hit rate, they only need to line up horizontally.

Even so, it is impossible to cause a substantial destructive effect at a distance of more than 100 meters.

For example, at this time, the warship that Li Kun was on fired at the same time on both sides, and a total of forty shells were fired.

But in fact, eighteen of them fell into the sea, and more than a dozen hit the opponent's ship, and only nearly seven hit the opponent's person.

Only twenty or so people were actually killed.

With this hit rate and damage, it is impossible to destroy the opponent as soon as the gun is fired.

Objectively speaking, the destruction of the opponent's combat power is almost negligible.

As for the breaking of a mast, firstly, it was because most of the warships of the Mud figurines were small warships, only about half the size of the Song ships, and secondly, it was because of... shit luck!

What made the Mud figurine stunned was the shocking scene caused by his own people who were blasted to bloody flesh in front of his eyes, as well as the roar of the artillery and the blow to the hull.

At least, in the long past, people sailing on the sea have never seen a thing that can smash a corner of a warship at such a long distance in an instant.

For the Mud figurines of this era, this scene is like people in the 21st century suddenly seeing a powerful missile fly from the East China Sea to the Caribbean Sea within one minute.

This completely broke through the cognition of the times.

This kind of cognitive level is shocked by the impact in an instant, which makes people feel suffocated and overwhelmed.

This is the case with the mud figurines at this time.

Their minds went blank, and the wanton noise just now came to an abrupt end.

All of them opened their mouths and stared wide-eyed.

It is easy for people in the 21st century to understand, and even Song Jun knows that the range of this tiger squat cannon is about 300 meters, and it needs to cool down after shooting, and then refill the shells.

Moreover, Song Jun also knew that he had a limited number of shells, so don't waste them at will.

But the mud figurine doesn't know!

At this time, the group of clay figurines only saw some black shadows whizzing towards them, impacting on their own people, causing their own people to become bloody and bloody, and those who were close were also hit by the impact.

Many of them didn't even see what it was.

It is inevitable for some people to have ghosts and gods in their minds.

And when some people saw the fist-sized iron ball on the deck, their poor brains couldn't figure it out for a while, what was it?

What's even more frightening is that the mud figurines didn't know that the Song Army's artillery needed to be cooled, nor did they know that the Song Army's artillery was limited.

They instinctively covered their heads and climbed onto the boat.

Fear fell on them like a huge net.

The four ships that were going to besiege and kill Liu Xiang were also a little confused.

They were not hit, and even they could barely see the situation here, but after hearing the rumble and seeing a mast collapse, they were also shocked.
