The factory guards on Galen's ship have followed Jianzhen to the Japanese country several times, so they are no strangers to things like naval battles. To deal with such a small ship and a close-range crushing game, Li Chongrun does not need to arrange it. The bow cannon is
Already filled with honeycomb shotgun.
Two black cloud-like shadows accompanied by rising thick smoke instantly enveloped the enemy ship a hundred steps away. A sound many times denser than rain hitting banana trees came, and the dark cast iron shotguns were not affected by the soldiers on the ship.
Any obstruction cuts through the narrow cabin like a hot knife cutting through butter.
The dozens of Chenla soldiers who were still preparing to attack with their teeth and claws were ravaged by this wave of iron rain. The moment they met face to face, they no longer existed, and they only flashed past on the rushing water of the Khan River.
A flash of bright red, and then disappeared from the world.
The sound of "Boom!" rang again. Because the paddle steamer has two huge paddle wheels embedded in the middle of the hull, the artillery is mainly concentrated on the bow and stern. There is a trial-produced seven-inch cannon at the stern.
With a diameter of more than centimeters, the sound is much louder than the three-inch Kanglong Cannon.
The seven-inch cannon hit the keel with one shot. The centipede boat, which had already been cleaned, collapsed from the middle in an instant. However, before the bows on both sides could tilt up, the hull was covered by the current.
It sank to the bottom of the river without making any sound.
Although Guo'er had seen gunners shooting targets at sea, he had never experienced actual combat. He always thought that this artillery might be a large trebuchet at best. He never thought that such a golden gun was filled with the feeling of a rich man.
The copper pipe of breath can actually emit such power.
"Just three times?"
Bao'er's stunned look was cute. Li Chongrun smiled and rubbed her head: "The third shot is unnecessary. In fact, the first two shots have already been taken care of. Even without the third shot, the ship would have sunk."

"Is this what gives me the confidence to take risks alone?"
"Yes, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers." Li Chongrun pretended to be a b. He originally wanted to make some long speeches, but Li San had already come to report the battle situation, so he interrupted Li Chongrun.
ideas.
"Your Majesty, the dock ahead seems to be equipped with a bed crossbow."
The range of something like a bed crossbow can reach 700 steps. Although the river is very wide, but under attack from both sides, even the black ship's outer facade is covered with thick anti-arrow wooden boards. It's really hard to be poked by that thing
It's a bit uncomfortable. If the injury is below the waterline, it will be very difficult to deal with.
Li Chongrun took Bao'er to the observation deck, only to find that he no longer needed telescopes to see. Not far after walking around the pier, on several high wooden platforms, four crossbow-like objects were being controlled by a group of people.
Slowly turned his head towards himself.
"Brother, do you want to stop the boat and wait until dark, or rush over directly?"
Guo'er was also a little anxious. After all, compared to new things like artillery, the bed crossbow, a large-scale killing weapon that could only be used for sieges, left an impression of great power in Guo'er's mind, although the sound was still the same.
Soft and waxy, but judging from the trembling of her little hands holding the hem of her clothes, the little girl was really nervous.
Li Chongrun frowned, and before he could speak, a crossbow on the opposite side that had been aimed fired an arrow at the fleet.
"It's a bit far away, I guess I can't hit it."
Although Li San's dynamic vision is not as perverted as Gongsun Lan's, it is much better than Li Chongrun's. When Li Chongrun just saw a swift black shadow flying towards him, Li San had already judged the trajectory and gave it to him.
A harmless judgment was made.

The crossbow sank helplessly under the water a hundred steps in front of the paddle steamer. Although it did not move at all, the fact that the other side had a means to threaten him made Li Chongrun's ambitious speech seem a bit ridiculous.
"Although the opponent's bed crossbow has the ability to threaten us, it is still much worse than ours." Li Chongrun patted Bao'er's still shaking little hand, turned around and ordered to Li San: "Inform the gunner,
Load chain ammo.”
Chain bombs were originally used to hit the masts of enemy ships. Two solid cannonballs are connected with an iron chain in the middle, which can produce the effect of hitting a large area.
The seven-inch cannon on the paddle steamer had a longer range. Just when Li Chongrun gave the order, the seven-inch cannon fired again.
This time the seven-inch cannon was loaded with shotgun shells. Although it was difficult for the shotshells to have a large-scale effect at a distance of 700 steps, it was just a burst of shotgun shells that was much larger than the rain of bullets from the Kanglong Cannon, covering the whole place overwhelmingly.
After a wooden tower supporting the bed crossbow, countless large and small holes instantly appeared on the entire wooden tower.
Accompanied by a harsh sound that could be heard even two miles away, the wooden tower that was targeted shook twice, and then helplessly fell into the turbid river water.
The two bow cannons on Galen's ship also fired alternately, and two chain bullets rotating like barbells hit another crossbow that was about to be fired. The wooden tower instantly looked like straw that had been cut by a sickle.
It's a little shorter, and the intimidating crossbow on the bed has long since disappeared.
"You see, as long as we have the advantage, there are many ways to defeat the enemy's plans and arrangements."
Li Chongrun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he brought chain bombs with him this time, so he didn't embarrass himself in front of his sister.
"What brother said is absolutely true."

Bao'er's words sounded together with the seven-inch cannon on the ship.
The last wooden pagoda disappeared. Regardless of the enemies fleeing hurriedly on the shore, Li Chongrun ordered the fleet to continue moving forward. Finally, before the sun set, he arrived at the beautiful mountain holy land where Linyi Palace is located... in a mountain lake beside it.
.
"Isn't the scenery of Yubi Palace good?"
As the sun sets in the west, the golden afterglow shines on a large stretch of palaces and temples on the other side of the lake, inlaying a golden halo on the cornices and brackets with a strong South Asian style, making them look extremely magnificent and brilliant.
The buildings are all made of thick stone, and although the walls of the palace are not tall, they are also made of huge stones. "No wonder Yubi always said that her palace is beautiful, even if it is a tourist attraction, it is nothing more than that."
"Brother, are we currently focusing on the wrong things?"
Guo'er started to get nervous again. The reason for the nervousness was naturally not that the palace in Linyi was even more beautiful than the capital city of Shenzhou, but the densely packed tents within the short distance of two miles between the palace and the mountain and lake.
Although they destroyed countless enemy ships along the way and cut a bloody path on the Khan River, the news of the arrival of the black ship still reached the Chenla people who were besieging the palace.
The already assembled Zhenla army and the Linyi border army controlled by Lao Bai are now densely gathering around the black ship. Countless catapults and crossbows are also exposed. However, due to the wide width of the lake, it will not be possible for a while.
There is nothing we can do about the black ship.
"Brother, I want to tell you that we must pay attention to the enemy tactically, but we must despise the enemy strategically."

Li Chongrun became addicted to being a teacher to Bao'er today. Of course, because he had been hanging around with Xianhui all the time, he was indeed a little neglected towards this sister, so he wanted to make up for it.
Not everyone can keep up with their own ideas at all times like Xian Hui. If he can train Bao'er again, he will be able to become a shopkeeper more easily in the future.
So during this trip south, although Xianhui still enjoyed the privilege of asking questions directly, Li Chongrun still deliberately got closer to Bao'er.
"Guo'er, look, who are the enemies we are encountering now?"
Bao'er looked in the direction Li Chongrun pointed, and Li Chongrun's fingers passed across. Opposite were densely packed soldiers with gray faces, holding some rather shabby weapons in their hands, and some even didn't even have weapons at all.
All he had was a sharpened bamboo stick.
"They're all miscellaneous soldiers."
Guo'er gave a very reasonable judgment. Not to mention Li Chongrun's factory guards who were armed to the teeth, the hundreds of scrawled government soldiers of Yangzhou Governor Wei Gong were all well-organized compared to them.
"There are just some elephants. Why are there elephants? Elephant cavalry?"
Behind the roaring soldiers, reflected in the afterglow of the setting sun, are the shadows of dozens of elephants. Although Asian elephants are not as big as a house like African elephants, elephants weighing several tons are among a group of thin and small elephants.
Among the South Asian people, it is still unusually eye-catching.
"It should be used for mobile forts and charging vehicles. Look at the number of people on the elephant's back. They should be archers." The sky was getting dark, and the effect of the telescope was not that good, but it could still be used by the two brothers and sisters.
See clearly.

"This scene is far different from the Turks and Khitans my brother saw at the foot of Yingzhou City."
Li Chongrun boasted, "Look, even Li San and the others are not very nervous."
"Looking like this, there will definitely be some damage if we land. Why don't they look scared at all?"
"Because they have confidence in themselves and their brother, knowing that their enemies are all paper tigers?"
Bao'er is good at learning and selling skills, and he quickly learned how to use Li Chongrun's paper tiger.
Patting Bao'er's furry head, Li Chongrun was very satisfied with the feel: "Brother, I'll teach you another skill. What is meant by catching the thief first?"
"What do you mean?" Guo'er saw Li Chongrun making a few gestures to the lower cabin and knew that he meant "Operation No. 1", but what exactly "Operation No. 1" meant was not clear.
At this time, something happened at the palace behind the enemy army, which disrupted Li Chongrun's combat deployment.
"What's going on on the other side?" Seeing the continuous flames rising over the palace, with the help of the telescope, Li Chongrun could barely see that there seemed to be a small group of people rushing down from the huge stone wall with torches tied to their bodies.
He charged at the elephant knights without fear of death.
"Hey, girl Yubi, it would be nice if a princess just waits for the knight to rescue her. Is this because Mulan has seen too much or something?"

Several heroic explosions were heard, and several elephants standing back staggered and fell to the ground as if they had been attacked by a huge force.
"No wonder I can persist until now. Fortunately, the little girl put my tips to use."
Li Chongrun had reserved the formula of gunpowder in Yubi's bag at the beginning. It was probably with the support of gunpowder that the Linyi Palace could persist for so long without being captured.
It seemed that Yubi discovered that Li Chongrun had come to the rescue and was preparing to break out.
In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices on Yubi's side, Li Chongrun could only step up his rescue operations.
"Aim at the leaders and hit me!"
