Cheng Shichao looked at the situation that was gradually getting out of control, without much hesitation, with a bit of haste and a bit of confidence.
Zhang Xiong's commanding characteristic is stability. Just like his character, he is tenacious and steady as a rock.
He has no extra tricks, and he doesn't know how to play strange tricks. He just attacks with serious troops, advances step by step, does not reveal any flaws, covers all aspects, and wins in a stable manner.
Therefore, Zhang Xiong will never win quickly against anyone, even a novice who doesn't know how to fight.
But even with a famous general like Lin Renzhao, Zhang Xiong will not be at a disadvantage. With his rock-like character, he is evenly matched.
Because of this, although Cheng Shichao was at a disadvantage, he did not feel that his opponent was terrible.
Compared to Lin Renzhao's dazzling methods, he was unable to fight back.
Zhang Xiong's mediocre tactical play is completely under his control.
Although he didn't know why he was at a disadvantage, he believed that as long as he sent the flamethrower, he would be able to turn the situation around.
Wave the flag!
Eight fire-breathing ships sailed out of the queue and slowly sailed towards the Wu Yueya ship.
The fire-breathing ship is the trump card of the Jiangnan navy. It is known as the overlord of the rivers and is invincible in rivers and lakes.
The fire-breathing ship, which was only one size smaller than the Jiangnan Navy, joined the battlefield with the expectations of the Jiangnan Navy.
Zhang Xiong is located high on the building and ship. His eyes are like a torch, watching every move of the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield, paying attention to every detail.
As soon as the fire-breathing ship came out, Zhang Xiong noticed it.
He seized Chai Kehong's Jiangnan naval battleship. He was no stranger to fire-breathing ships and knew their power.
The flames falling from the sky will be the nightmare of sea falcons and wandering boats.
Large warships have certain fire resistance and can withstand one or two attacks.
A small ship known for its speed has no resistance at all against a fire-breathing ship.
How can you stop a flame that can burn on water and rain down from the sky?
Therefore, Zhang Xiong immediately ordered his sea falcons to retreat in groups.
Lin Renzhao said it right, Jiangnan has the characteristics of Jiangnan.
The fire-breathing ships in the south of the Yangtze River have no rival in the Central Plains.
Zhang Xiong retreated without hesitation.
Cheng Shichao was overjoyed when he saw this. This is the power of the fire-breathing ship.
With the command flag waving, the sea falcons in the south of the Yangtze River, which had been retreating steadily, took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory.
The Chengshi Dynasty learned from the experience of three defeats, and did not go up and order a pursuit. Instead, they asked the sea falcons to surround the Wu Yueya ship in the Central Plains and prepare to board the ship for battle.
The Sea Falcon has strong maneuverability and can withdraw from the battle immediately, but the Wu Yue Ya Ship cannot. Controlling the Ya Ship that controls the battle situation is the key to winning a water battle.
Gao Bi was in a good mood when he saw that his men were preparing to board the ship and seize the ship. Suddenly he found that the chariot wheel was rushing towards their fire-breathing ship like an arrow off the string, and he called out: "Brother Cheng!"
Cheng Shichao looked like he had a winning chance, and was reminded to look upstream at Wheel Ke.
Seeing that Chun Ke's target was the Spitfire, he couldn't help being surprised. He didn't know what Chun Ke was trying to do to challenge the Spitfire, but the opponent's target was clear and he had to guard against it.
"Quickly, let the yacht intercept them. The sea falcon and the walking boat will follow and stop them."
The yacht that Cheng Shichao mentioned was naturally not the yacht of later generations, but a military boat, no different from a civilian boat. It had no attack power, but was the most flexible and maneuverable. It was usually used to rescue soldiers who fell into the water.
The wheels were coming so fast that even the sea falcons had no time to intercept them, so they had to let the yacht get on.
With a loud noise.
The wheel Ke directly knocked the yacht over on the river.
The Wheel Ke does not have offensive power, but it is still a small car and boat, and no yacht can resist it.
Especially for the wheel boat traveling down the river, with the speed boosted by it, the yacht is just hitting an egg against a stone.
As for the sea falcon, a walking boat cannot keep up with the speed of a wheeled boat.
When the Central Plains used Wheel Ke to seize the upper reaches, Gao Bi, who was playing second-in-command, did not try to let the sea falcon go across the river to deal with Wheel Ke.
But just like eating exhaust fumes, the wheel wheel relies on its special wheel-axle power-assisting technology, which is not something that a sea falcon or a walking boat can keep up with.
Cheng Shichao frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Gao Bi saw Chun Ke walking away from the sea falcon like a dog, and walked away, leaving it behind, and said: "How about just letting him get close? Chun Ke has no power. As long as he dares to get close to the fire-spitting ship, just let him row."
For ashes.”
The Chengshi Dynasty also thought it was reasonable. The Wheel Ke was a ship made during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and had long since been eliminated.
The ship itself does not have much combat power, and it relies on the people on the ship to kill the enemy with crossbows.
Large vehicles and ships still have a certain deterrent effect, but there is no need to pay too much attention to small vehicles and ships.
"Send the order! Wheel Ke enters the shooting range and uses his bow and arrows to ward off the enemy. When he gets close, he directly breathes fire to ward off the enemy."
Cheng Shichao still made arrangements.
Just when Chun Ke entered the shooting range, the next scene made Chengshi Chao and Gao Bi stunned.
After avoiding their first round of shooting, the Central Plains soldiers on the ten wheeled ships shot streaks of scorching flames at the fire-breathing ship...
The scarlet dazzling fire and smoke flew towards the fire-spitting ship.
Chengshi shouted in horror: "What the hell is this?"
An idea flashed in Gao Bi's mind and he exclaimed: "The engine is on fire?"
He had seen similar records in his notes at home.
After the invention of gunpowder in the early Tang Dynasty, the effectiveness of gunpowder was gradually discovered over time.
It is not known when it was used in the military, but the first record of gunpowder in history was in the first year of Tianyou, Emperor Aizong of the Tang Dynasty. When Zheng Fan attacked Yuzhang, Jiangxi, he used an engine to fly fire. This was the first time in Chinese history that gunpowder was used
Records used in military affairs.
Coincidentally, Gao Bi's grandfather participated in that battle and saw this thing in the notes left by his ancestors.
wrong!
Engine flames don't have this power.
When Gao Bi was struggling with the power of the engine's fire, the biggest weakness of the Spitfire broke out.
The Spitfire lacked effective fire prevention measures, and the fire-breathing energy of the Spitfire was barrels of oil in the cabin.
Once this fire-breathing battleship catches fire, the consequences can be imagined.
"boom!"
The flames spread slowly and eventually reached the warehouse where the oil was stored.
The accumulated flames burned the air and exploded in all directions due to the influence of the wind on the river.
The soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were like mice, jumping into the river to escape for their lives.
At the Chengshi Dynasty, Gao Bi forgot his command and watched the explosion and spontaneous combustion. The fire even spread to his own side. He could not say a word and his mind went blank.
It is true that the fire-breathing ships of the Southern Tang Dynasty were indeed impressive, but none of the warships of the Central Plains could confront them head-on.
However, the technology of this era cannot support a product like the Fire Spitfire. Although it has great power, its own hidden dangers are enough to make it self-destructive.
The explosion of the Spitfire battleship destroyed not only a few battleships, but also the confidence of the Chengshi Dynasty, Gao Bi, and the morale of the Jiangnan navy.
During the Chengshi Dynasty, Gao Bi did not dare to fight again and ordered to flee.
Zhang Xiong would not show mercy and ordered his soldiers to pursue the victory.
When the two of them managed to escape to Jiangzhou, they were shocked to find that the flag of the Central Plains was already hanging on the water village in Jiangzhou.
Chengshichao said with a mournful face: "Go to Ezhou!"
