Chapter 3039: The ambush soldiers are killed with flames
On the Crossing the River Dragon, He Wuji apparently heard this voice. His expression changed slightly, and he turned to look behind him. He saw that from some unknown time, the place in the center of the river was filled with lush vegetation and square footage.
On Sangluo State, the vast expanse of lush dense forest fell down in an instant. More than thirty stone-shooting carts and more than fifty heavy-armed crossbows were all loaded with burning crossbow guns and aimed at them.
captured the ships of the Jin army's rear group.
Xu Daofu was carrying a sledgehammer and stood alone behind a crossbow machine. The flesh on his face was beating. He laughed: "He Wuji, today, this is your burial place. Go
Die!"
As he spoke, he swung his sledgehammer fiercely and hit the beginning of the machine spring hard. The force arm dropped, and the three-foot-long crossbow gun was fired out, drawing a long arc in the air.
As the flame burned, it dragged out a white trail, allowing tens of thousands of sergeants to see this arc clearly. It hit the rear deck of a Huanglong warship in the rear group without any bias.
Immediately, flames burst out wherever it hit.
Following Xu Daofu's actions, these dozens of crossbows also started firing at the same time. Dozens of burning crossbows flew all over the sky, hitting the slow-moving ships in the rear of the Jin army that were filled with food, grass and baggage.
The strong east wind strengthened the speed and distance of these crossbows. Many Jin soldiers reacted and tried to step forward with shields to block them. However, the kinetic energy of the crossbows fired by these eight to twelve stone crossbows
But it was far from being comparable to ordinary bows and arrows. The shield array was often penetrated mercilessly, and the whole person of the sergeant holding the shield was nailed to the deck, and even the man and the board were in flames.
The sound of "whine" was loud, and more than thirty stone vehicles began to bombard. This time, the Tianshi Troops on the shore of the sandbar were smooth.
During the battle, trebuchets and ballistae were placed in front of the deck to attack enemy ships in front. There were almost no weapons on the rear deck to fight the enemy. Yes, no one could have imagined that the enemy would appear behind them, even for
To maintain the balance of the ship, there were a lot of provisions in the bottom cabin and wooden baggage such as shields and wooden planks just now, which were moved out and piled on the rear deck. These became natural ignition materials. As long as the fire crossbow hits, the fire will follow.
The sulfur and saltpeter charges carried by the crossbow were scattered everywhere, setting off flames wherever they passed.
Flying rocks the size of watermelons mercilessly smashed through the board of the ship they hit. Although it was not like those Nankang fishing boats that could be sunk with just one stone, even the Huanglong warship was instantly destroyed after being hit like this.
A big hole will open, and people in the bottom cabin are screaming. Some warships that have been hit by multiple rocks in succession begin to leak and sink. People on the ship are running around, and it is chaos.
He Wuji gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The rear fleet's warships turned around and abandoned the food and fodder. The archers went to the rear deck to cover. The infantry boarded the sandbar in the river. Kill these trebuchets and ballistae for me. The forward fleet accelerated the attack.
, the Chinese army remains unchanged and continues to move forward. No matter what, we must rush through Fankou first..."
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, there was a huge noise in front of him, and huge waves rose up on the seemingly calm river surface. Behind the more than ten remaining Nankang fishing boats, less than
About 200 steps away, dozens of medium-sized warships floated up. They were all tightly wrapped in wood from beginning to end. The bottom of the ship could even be seen covered with a layer of iron sheet, and the water was out of the water.
In an instant, more than twenty holes suddenly appeared on the sides of the ship on both sides. The same number of wooden oars protruded from the holes on both sides, running like flying, like giant turtles crawling out of the river one by one, towards the front army.
The Yellow Dragon warship of the Jin army rowed over quickly.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak. Next to He Wuji, Yin Chan opened his eyes wide and pointed at the underwater warships that were three or four hundred steps away, running towards him like fierce horses, and shouted:
: "This, what the hell is this? Is it a magic spell?"
Zhang Shao also shook his head in disbelief: "Incredible, incredible, could it be that this is the legendary mechanism technique of the demon thief? Can you still sail underwater?"
He suddenly realized something and shouted: "Commander, something bad is going on. We have fallen into an ambush by the enemy. There are underwater warships in the front, and there are enemy long-range attacks on the sandbank behind. Now we..."
He Wuji threw two drumsticks to the ground with hatred and said loudly: "There are ambushes in front and powerful crossbows in the rear. At this moment, our army has no way to retreat and can only fight to the death with all its strength. The warships of the former army rammed these enemies at full speed."
Ship, don't let them rush up, speed, speed, speed!"
Following He Wuji's words, the Jin army warships, which were chasing the Nankang fishing boats ahead and constantly shooting arrows and stones, gave up their pursuit of the fishing boats, and their bows began to face the fast-moving fishing boats.
The helmsmen of the Tianshi Dao floating warship that was impacting here were working hard to control the stern rudder to adjust the direction, but as they turned around, the speed inevitably slowed down.
At Sangluo Island, more than twenty Jin army's rear warships were already on fire and sinking. The other ships were bypassing their sunken companions, not even bothering to rescue the struggling sergeants who fell into the water, and headed straight towards them.
The sandbank rushed towards them, many archers had already rushed to the rear deck, and the crossbows and trebuchets were also moved to the rear, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand. A beach landing battle was about to begin.
The sound of "dong dong" suddenly sounded densely from underneath the rear army's warships. More than ten warships began to shake violently and sink. Many people reacted and screamed in despair: "No, it's not good.
There are water ghosts at the bottom of the water!”
Xu Daofu had a cruel smile on his face, waved his hand, and thousands of archers ran out of the dense forest behind him. The bows and arrows in their hands were all burning with flames. These were what he had said to Zhu Chaoshi before.
, the remnants of the Huan Chu army, bandits and bandits who were collected here in Jiangzhou did not have the same buns as the disciples of Tianshi Dao, and the weapons and clothing in their hands were also various. However, with the orders of their respective officers,
Thousands of rockets soared into the sky, like pieces of flaming crows, and landed on dozens of Jin warships that were preparing to land on the beach a hundred steps away. Suddenly, the river surface became a sea of fire.
Countless Jin warships were burned, or were pierced and sunk. There were corpses of Jin soldiers or sergeants struggling for survival floating everywhere on the river. It was like a hell on earth. The Jin army had no way to attack the sandbank.
Blocked by floating corpses, sunken ships, and reefs on the shore, the warships collided with each other, causing chaos. The battle had turned into a one-sided massacre.
