Chapter 712 Flying Thunder Cannon

(Thanks to Perfect Zhantong and JeaTun for their support, thank you everyone!)

On the northwest of Hu Douzhou, under the rising red sun, the first fleet of Lingbo Army led by Wu Qian was facing the Huainan Army led by Liang Zhang.

Compared with the huge Five-Tooth Building ships on Wu Qian's side, the three-story big bucket ships, the Iron-Armored Sea Falcon ships and other large warships on Liang Zhang's side, the almost all small fishing boats on Liang Zhang's side, and many Bian ships. From a distance, it looked like a group of ants rushing towards several groups of beetles.

Wu Qian, who had dozens of large warships and thousands of naval forces, was not willing to give up the Qin army's water advantages and took the initiative to fight against the enemy. For the Qin army on the island, the surface of the Yangtze River was the best barrier. If the Huainan army easily landed on the island, it would have to fall into a tough battle.

Although the Huainan Army's ships were small, there were many, so many that they covered the sky and blocked the sun and blocked the river.

However, Wu Qian was not afraid at all. Looking at the overwhelming ships opposite, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he followed Feng Ming and led hundreds of warships to attack Li Jing many years ago.

Although the fleet of Daxiezhai was not as many as the ships in front of him, its strength was much stronger than these fishing boats. But in the end it was not defeated by Li Jing. After several consecutive times, all of them were defeated. The reason was not that Li Jing's warship was larger and more powerful, but that Li Jing had the magical artifact of the sea war, the divine fire.

As soon as the divine fire comes out, who will compete?

It has been a long time since the navy actually fought a naval battle. From north to south, from Liaohai to East China to South China Sea, the Qin army's navy was invincible. It has not fought for a long time, which made the Huainan Army think that they could deal with the commander's navy with some small sampans. It was ridiculous.

Although he only had one squadron in his hands today, he could still teach them a lesson.

The fleets of both sides are constantly approaching. Although Liang Zhang is known as the number one general under Gao Pian, he has actually fought hundreds of land wars. But he has never fought in water wars. Facing the over 100 ships of the Qin army, his tactics are very simple. He commanded the boundless ship and rushed forward, preparing to kill an ant.

"The Huainan Army is just a err. With these small sampans, they actually want to compete with us on the water, haha." Wu Qian laughed. The Lingbo Army's warships are all big ships, especially on the extremely wide water surface of the Yangtze River Estuary, which can be said to be like fish in water. However, the other party is full of small boats, and the heights are immediately visible.

"The master of the Wu army, the master of the water army, teaches these stinky fish and rotten shrimps a lesson and uses a ox knife to kill chickens. It is better to give them the next chance to try the new and improved killing weapon!" Deng Huan stood behind and smiled, as if the countless ships opposite were already his own object.

Wu Qian also knew Deng Huan's past and knew that he was a crazy guy, but he was the first-class expert in the firearm industry. Although he had divine fire in his hand, he was unwilling to use it easily. He heard that Deng Huan had a big killing weapon. He immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's take a look at Brother Ziming's big killing weapon."

Deng Huan smiled. He had been preparing to make cannons before, but failed repeatedly. In the end, Li Jing pulled him out and asked him to change his ideas.

At this time, with a wave of his hand, a team of soldiers immediately lifted a row of large iron tubes and put them on the fifth deck of the Jianghai.

Each of these huge iron tubes has a diameter of about one foot, and the body of the tube is about three feet. The entire tube is very light. Compared with the eight thousand kilogram copper cannon that Deng Huan had tossed at the time, it was really too simple.

Wu Qian also looked at these big iron tubes with some curiosity, not understanding what he had done to get these things up.

Deng Huan smiled and kept it a secret.

"The Lord Wu Jun will see the power in a while."

A row of eight large iron tubes made of fine steel were placed upwards, and then soldiers put 20 kilograms of explosives in them.

In front of each iron tube, there is an observation hand holding a telescope, carefully observing the distance between the enemy and us.

Seeing that the enemy ship had entered within a hundred feet, a loud rumbling sound came, and waves of white smoke floated on the deck of the building ship, and the entire ship was shaking.

Wu Qian grabbed the railing next to him and looked up. He saw several extremely high water columns flying from the enemy ship in the distance, and it seemed that the ship had been shot.

He opened his mouth wide, a little incredible. It was a distance of nearly a hundred feet. Even the general's cannons on the tower were only so far away. But the general had to use more than 200 people to start at a time, and the iron tube was very light and could be operated with two or three people.

He didn't care about the roar in his ears, and quickly raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked forward. He saw that the ten cannons just now, and one cannon directly hit a boat. More than 20 people on the boat were dismembered, and blood stained the river surface red. Although the other nine cannons did not hit directly, the huge 20 kilograms of explosives fell into the fleet and exploded, causing the huge explosion impact. Almost all the dozens of small boats rushing in front were overturned, and even closer, they were directly bleeded by the shock of the seven orifices.

However, this effect did not seem to satisfy Deng Huan. He walked there in person, asked the soldiers to reload again, then raised two thumbs and measured and aimed there.

The other gunners, like Deng Huan, used their thumb to measure, adjusting the angle of the barrel's tilt while measuring. After a while, Deng Huan ordered the ignition.

This time, it was not only the only one who fired the artillery on this ship, but also the other one, the four fighting ships, and eight sea falcons also fired the artillery together.

As many as dozens of large cylinders made deafening sounds of cannons at the same time, and a stream of smoke rose up on the water. Then, the dense small boats on the opposite side that had rushed into the range of fire were instantly terrified. As the water column rose, a large number of broken limbs flew up and blood splashed.

In this round alone, you can clearly see the huge fleet opposite, and one piece has been missing.

Wu Qian looked at the big tubes with a hot look. This thing was more powerful than the rods and stone-cattering tools on the boat.

It has a range of 100 feet and also has the ability to shoot continuously. Although it seems inaccurate and consumes a lot of gunpowder, the effect is still unspeakable. One round of cannons will be enough to scare the enemy. Even if you hit ten shots, it will be amazing. If you hit it, there will be almost no survivors on the entire ship of the opponent.

"Brother Ziming. This...what new equipment is this? It's so powerful?"

Deng Huan was extremely calm on the surface, but in fact he was also stormy in his heart. He didn't expect that in actual combat, this thing was so powerful. He really deserved to be the killing weapon that the King of Qin said.

"Hehe, this is called the flying thunder cannon."

Wu Qian patted Deng Huan's arm and praised repeatedly: "The Thunder Fire and the Thunder Fire that Brother Ziming had previously developed were already extremely powerful. Unexpectedly, he actually developed such a powerful flying thunder cannon. He is indeed a god."

Deng Huan was a little embarrassed to be praised and said, "Actually, I can't make these things alone. Like the Thunderbolt Fire and the Sky-Shocking Thunder, they all rely on the guidance of the King of Qin to finally get them out."

Wu Qian was stunned, but he imagined that the divine fire that King Qin had created was no worse than this one.

Liang Zhang there was completely stunned. When did he actually see this kind of fighting style?

Nowadays, Feihuo is actually no longer mysterious. Because Duli Town also had this recipe, the imperial court and some warlords soon knew this recipe and developed it privately. The key was the assembly issue. For example, the Shence Army of the imperial court was equipped with a lot. Gao Pian's troops were also equipped with some. However, they did not have a large-scale equipment like Li Jing. It was not that they did not know how powerful the weapon was, but that they were not enough in iron ore, saltpeter, sulfur and other materials, and there was no complete set of mature production workshops, so they could not produce in large quantities.

But the navy's hundreds of cannons just now still scared Liang Zhang. It was a distance of one hundred feet. Even if there was flying fire, it would have to be fired at such a long distance. But the stone catapults of one hundred feet were all big guys, and where were they equipped on ordinary boats?

But the other party had such a large scale flying fire just now, which was beyond his perception.

However, Liang Zhang was at least the first general under Gao Pian. He immediately came to his senses and uttered a loud order: "Disper and rush over!"

No matter how powerful the flying fire is, it is limited in number. The advantage of the Huainan Army lies in its number. As long as it can rush over and entangle the Qin army's warships, it can jump into battle and even seize the ship.

Deng Huan on the Jianghai Massacre smiled, "I will be afraid when it spreads out, so I will ask you to compensate the celestial girl for scattering flowers!"

"What does it mean to scatter flowers in the sky?" Wu Qian asked.

Deng Huan directly brought a large string of thunder fires, with ten pieces, each of which was two kilograms, and ten strings were twenty kilograms, which was equivalent to a bomb bag.

The gunners simply put the concentrated thunderbolt fire into the large iron tube, then aimed and ignited the launching medicine again.

There was another loud noise, and the cluster of thunder fires had already flew towards the rushing ship. When the thunder was about to fall into the water, it suddenly exploded in the air. Ten thunder fires exploded in the air above the water surface, and countless pieces of thunder fires splashed like hail.

The ten-zhang range suddenly became a fragmented sputtering coverage area, and the small boats below were basically unprotected. The sudden blow suddenly swept the sailors and soldiers on the ships within the ten-zhang range below.

A series of screams and wails rang out, one after another.

Deng Yun waved his hand, and the horn of the war drum sounded continuously, and all the boats had to use the Heavenly Girl to scatter flowers.

Although the momentum was not as powerful as before, the killing effect was even stronger than before.

In the previous artillery bombardment, those who hit the target with one shot will die, but this Tiannv scattered flower has a wider range of killing, but it is a large number of killing rather than killing. However, in this case, even if you don’t die, you will not be injured in one or two places. In addition to withdrawing from the battle immediately and receiving treatment, otherwise, you will not last long. In the end, you will either die from excessive blood loss or die from infection.

Wu Qian swallowed his saliva, feeling a little dry, "So this is the scattered flower of the goddess."

When this cold weapon was used, the appearance of this thunder cannon was indeed frightening. The range of 100 feet and the easier operation made this heavy weapon almost become a single weapon. Especially at this time, the ships were scattered at sea, and there were dozens or hundreds of people on each ship. If one shot hit, the entire ship would almost be destroyed.

Deng Huan was so excited that he shook the flag and fired the fire. The Huainan army cried and shouted to his parents.

Just as Liang Zhang was already pale and wanted to retreat, the shelling on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

Wu Qian was holding up the Qianli Miles Miles and shouted: "Brother Ziming, come a few more shots!"

Deng Huan laughed a few times and said embarrassedly: "Master Wu Jun, the bombs are exhausted, it depends on you next."

The flying thunder is indeed powerful, but the consumption is also very huge. After a while, Wu Qian and Deng Huan were so excited about fighting, but the gunpowder brought was completely wiped out, and even the Thunder Fire and the Sky-Shock Thunder were all destroyed.

Liang Zhang quickly discovered the abnormal scene on the battlefield. He vaguely guessed that there might be no shells.

The pale face just now turned purple, and his eyes were fiercely staring at the Qin Navy not far away, and he swung his sword forward fiercely, "The enemy's flying fire is over, now it's time for us to show off, blow the horn, the first to board the enemy ship will be rewarded with a hundred kilograms of gold!"
