Almost at the moment when Yeon Gaesumun was stunned, another large ship in the fleet was hit by a grenade.
There was a loud bang, and the entire ship was suddenly engulfed in flames!
The moment the white horse passed through the gap, black smoke and fire exploded at the same time, and countless figures, even incomplete figures, flew upside down, which was tragic and miserable.
That's four big ships.
At this stage, Yeon Gaesumun finally felt fear, real fear!
Although three of these four ships are Wang Jing's ships - the soldiers in Yeon Gaesumun's hands are still much stronger than the refugees and desperadoes recruited by Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others.
What he did was pretty good.
But even so...
Not long after the battle started, the opponent had already hit four large ships, one of which sank, and it was unknown how long the other three ships could survive.
If this trend continues, it will be really sad in a short while...
Yeon Gaesumun did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately took a deep breath, looked at the generals and messengers around him, and said, "Go and notify all the warships to withdraw immediately!"
"Retreat...retreat?!"
The generals around him were a little dazed and surprised.
In his impression, Yeon Gaesumun was cruel and thoughtful, and more importantly, he never admitted defeat. This character was almost the spiritual totem of all the Xianbei people in Goguryeo.
But at this moment...
Even though the Tang army was arrogant, the two coalition forces on their side had already lost one ship...
This is only one ship, right... The commander actually... wants to withdraw his troops?
This is dozens of big ships surrounding two!
This can be beaten by the opponent until the troops withdraw. If word spreads, wouldn't it damage the morale of the troops?!
If two Tang army warships were intercepted and repelled at sea before, it is because Yuan Gaesubun himself was not around and his command was improper.
But this time... if we retreat this time, I am afraid that morale will be greatly damaged and the morale of the army will be shaken in the future!
But as soon as this general opened his mouth, Yeon Gaesumun gave him a sharp shout.
"My commander's orders are strictly enforced. Before the battle, do you want to lead the army?"
The general was shocked, but he also understood that the situation was urgent.
...In fact, it can be seen that the Tang army this time is extremely strange. The grenade can shoot as far as an arrow...
The surrounding ships simply cannot get within 80 steps, and then again - even if they can get within 80 steps, how much damage can they cause to the opponent?!
If this fight continues, I'm afraid the situation is really not good, but this...
The general hesitated for another second, but the situation no longer allowed him to hesitate any longer, so he turned around and went to deliver the order.
At this moment...
Suddenly, a dark thing leaped from a long distance in the sky.
Before the person had time to react, the black thing had already landed on his face.
The next moment, an explosion occurred suddenly.
The fire and black smoke exploded directly where he was standing, turning into a terrifying fireball!
When the general came to his senses, he looked back and saw that Yeon Gaesumun had fallen to the ground with his face covered in blood.
The ship's hull shook violently!
He hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and now things couldn't be clearer.
Tang Jun went to Hangzhou, and somehow everything changed completely.
If you continue to fight, you will definitely suffer big losses!
The general, who did not dare to delay any longer, supported Yeon Gaesumun and ran quickly to the cabin inside the ship, while he shouted loudly.
"After hearing this, the entire army immediately changed sails and prepared to withdraw! Send an order to the entire army to evacuate immediately!"
Yeon Gaesumun stared at the air blankly, his mind going blank.
That moment just now...
The violent explosion made him faint this time, and this time...
If we talk about near-death experiences, Yeon Gaesomun has experienced them countless times during his many years of fighting.
But that moment just now...
This is the first time that I have experienced the power of Tang Jun's "grenade" in person!
It's too huge and terrifying!
If this thing continues to be manufactured within the territory of Tang State...
I'm afraid that in the next few years, we will be able to form a national army.
Until then, I, Goguryeo...
The disaster of overthrowing is really close at hand...
…
Chai Shao finally repulsed the invading enemy.
I brought a lot of grenades in stock, but what I didn't expect was that even though I brought a lot of grenades this time, nearly half of them were still used after a battle!
This also means that the military pressure the Tang army endured in this battle was still extremely high.
but……
That being said, when Chai Shao finally counted the number of people in the boat, he found that the number of people and horses in the boat was only in single digits, and the others had only minor injuries, and only a few were seriously injured.
reason……
In fact, it is simple. The distance between the warships of the two armies is always close to about a hundred steps, and because of the game between the two sides, it happens to be the range of the feather arrows and the improved grenade-throwing crossbow——
In other words, this can actually be regarded as a safe distance, or a quasi-safe distance.
Fighting at a safe distance, how can there be much effective killing...
There are not even many arrows nailed to the side of the ship, because this distance is the maximum range of bows and arrows. Usually, most bows and arrows are almost useless when they reach this position. There are only a few archers with extraordinary physical strength.
Only a strong hard bow can still provide enough kinetic energy for the arrow at such a long distance.
The grenade is different. As long as the grenade is thrown somewhere, what does it mean if it loses kinetic energy?
Everything can explode!
It seems that the range of the two is similar, but the final killing effect is completely different.
After the battle started, Chai Shao quickly realized this——
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Li Sheng deliberately made this new crossbow machine. In addition to being able to unite all the people and improve the range...
At the same range, there is a vastly different power advantage, which is another great value!
After realizing this, Chai Shao realized that this battle...
Although the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, with the help of these magical soldiers, we really have a chance to win!
Of course, as he continued to fight, Chai Shao quickly became nervous about the stock of grenades. If the number was not enough, then...
Even with this new type of crossbow machine, it is useless, and if the army is defeated, his life will be lost. The key is that the people on this ship are the family members of the imperial army on Zhongzuoso Island...
If he was killed by Goguryeo, he would be completely responsible for his own death, not to mention that once these weapons fell into the hands of the enemy, there would be endless troubles.
However, after a great battle, Chai Shao did not meet his expectations. This time he did not hold anything back and directly ordered the entire army to fight with all their strength. In the end, he really drove back the opponent's warships.
If there is anything Chai Shao feels lucky about, it is that during this battle, these people did not know weapons like grenades, but they did not die after the battle, which can be considered a great blessing.
At this time, Ma Zhou came over and said excitedly, "General, they have retreated!"
