Chapter 705 Invincible Battleship!
The brave and unparalleled fighting power of the Shanyue Sect Commander made all the soldiers tremble with fear. Just think of the invincible image of the two armies wielding maces in front of the formation, breaking bones, tendons, and flesh and blood with every strike. My heart trembles.
This is simply an invincible warrior that could only appear in a novel, okay?
But the more everyone fears Shanyue Zongshuai, the more they respect and admire their own Lord!
Faced with such an almost invincible enemy, the Marquis dared to block the gap in the battle formation regardless of his own safety, and with a body of a thousand gold, he drove back the commander of the Shanyue clan without fear of death! Such a brave commander who is willing to risk his life against the enemy at critical moments, who can refuse to die?
Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan and Xi Junmai had deeper feelings!
They clearly felt that Fang Jun had the purpose of dying with the enemy and protecting himself from the siege and escaping!
He is a dignified founding county magistrate, general manager, emperor's son-in-law, and prime minister's son! And what am I? A hundred lives are not as good as one! But he is such a high-ranking commander who would rather sacrifice himself to fight a bloody path for his subordinates...
Liu Rengui took a deep breath. After all, he had sold his life to Fang Jun, right? If you can have a benefactor like this, you will have no regrets even if you die!
He said solemnly: "The Shanyue people will be repelled, and their morale will definitely be greatly reduced. If we take the opportunity to rush out, as long as we get to the river and board the warship, these Shanyue people will be unable to do anything. At that time, whether to fight or retreat, we will take the initiative to In our hands.”
Fang Jun looked at the Shanyue people who were gradually gathering at the foot of the mountain with a heavy heart, shook his head and said: "Not so optimistic. How many people do you think there can be in Shanyue?"
Liu Rengui naturally didn't know, so he turned to look at Han Ben in the distance.
Han Ben didn't know why, and he couldn't hear what was said even though he was far away, but when he saw Liu Ren wishing for him, he trotted over quickly. But the killing just now frightened his courage, his legs became weak, and he almost stumbled to the ground...
When he came to Fang Jun and listened to the question, Han Ben said: "Although there are many people in Shanyue, most of them are scattered in the mountains of Wudi. It is not easy to gather them in one place. Moreover, there are many people in Shanyue, old, young, women and children." , according to Xiaode, it is not easy to gather 20,000 people. ”
Fang Jun looked at the frightened Shanyue people at his feet, and said in a deep voice: "The Shanyue people who just attacked us numbered at least ten thousand. If Shanyue rebelled, why did they gather half of their combat power to attack us? Here we are. It’s just an iron factory, what’s the point of taking it down?”
Liu Rengui's expression changed: "Master Hou is saying...that their target was originally us?"
Fang Jun's eyes were deep: "It's not us, but me. Although I don't know why the Shanyue people want to deal with me, but if the prediction is correct, the Shanyue people's purpose must be to capture and kill me. In this case, in order to prevent me from breaking out, now The ships on the river... must have been attacked."
Liu Rengui looked solemn.
*****
Facing the enemy ships approaching crazily, everyone on the Five-Tooth Battleship was frightened.
But on the battlefield, where is the time for fear and cowardice? Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of enemy ships smashed into nearby small boats and surrounded the five-tooth battleship, just like a group of hungry wolves surrounding a brown bear in the forest.
No matter how huge the brown bear is and has super fighting power, the wolves are not afraid at all. They bared their teeth and pounced on them ferociously, trying to bite off a piece of flesh and blood!
Looking at the densely packed enemy ships approaching the side of the ship, Wei Ying was sweating and already confused!
Who the hell knows how to fight a water battle!
There was no choice but to sit back and die, so Wei Ying had no choice but to order: "According to usual training, first use archers to snipe the enemy boarding the ship, and then use the shooting pole to attack the enemy ship approaching the side!"
Everyone is in a mess and doesn’t know what to do. When given an order, it doesn’t matter whether it’s right or wrong, just follow it!
The soldiers shook the windlass and hoisted the bow and stern shooting poles with nooses. The huge stone on the top of the shooting pole was extremely heavy. There were no gears these days, so they could only swing the shooting pole with all their strength. , after finding the right angle, suddenly loosen the noose.
The huge stone came down from the sky with a shooting pole, carrying a huge gravity, and suddenly hit the enemy ship.
Wang Shangfang commanded the ship to quickly approach the five-tooth warship. He knew the horror of this kind of warship. If the boarding battle could not start as soon as possible, these small warships he brought would be like flies buzzing around the giant beast. One slap and it was shattered into pieces.
The navy soldiers had rarely seen such a behemoth. They followed Shangfeng's orders and approached desperately, facing the locust-like rain of arrows on the Five-Tooth Battleship and charging with their lives. There were screams of being hit by arrows, and the sound of "plop-plop" falling into the water kept coming. After finally getting close to the Crow Armor, I suddenly realized that the other side's ship side was higher than my own ship building, and I couldn't climb up!
Someone took out the hook and chain rope from the cabin, threw it out and grabbed the side of the Five-Tooth Battleship, trying to climb up despite the rain of arrows.
Then...
Shadows fell from the sky, and huge rocks hit his boat hard with the shooting pole.
"Boom"
With a loud bang, the pole smashed the entire ship, and sawdust splattered with blood and flesh...
The same scene was staged one after another at the bow and stern of the ship. The tall shooting pole was connected with the huge stone, like a giant octopus waving countless tentacles. Continuous loud noises were heard one after another, and the enemy ships approaching the Five-Tooth Battleship suffered the most severe blow.
The huge racquet pole struck down, and the ship was torn into pieces. Broken wooden boards were floating everywhere, corpses were floating in the river, and those who were still alive were screaming miserably. The most terrifying thing about this kind of shooting pole is that after launching a fatal attack, it can be retrieved again through the noose. It only needs to replace the boulder that has fallen off the pole head, and it can launch continuous attacks.
The soldiers on the Five-Tooth Battleship were all crazy with joy!
They just kept pointing their rods at the enemy ships and smashing them down, then took them back, replaced the stones, and smashed them down again... As long as the enemy ships approaching the Wuya warship were not broken into pieces, the enemies would either jump into the river one after another, or follow the broken ones. The warship sank to the bottom of the river with a howl.
Water fighting is so easy!
Facing an enemy several times their own, they actually had the upper hand. This greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on the Five-Tooth Battleship. For a moment, arrows flew like locusts, and the poles undulated, leaving the enemy paralyzed!
The king's eyes were about to burst!
Seeing the five-tooth battleship on the river like a big hedgehog that his subordinates could not attack, Wang Shangfang gritted his teeth in pain!
His original intention was to rely on his mobility to defeat and strangle Fang Jun's group of subordinates with lightning speed, then use the boat to kill people, destroy their corpses and eliminate traces, and then evacuate silently. But he never expected that the opponent's general would be as timid as a mouse. He would abandon all the boats before they even met, and all of them would gather on the Five-Tooth Battleship!
It can be seen that these soldiers of Fang Jun are seriously inexperienced and their actions are in a hurry. However, the combat effectiveness of the Five-Tooth Battleship is so incredible that it completely covers up the shortcomings of the soldiers' inexperience!
Wang Shangfang was confused and didn't know what to do.
He was a veteran of the navy, and he became more and more aware of the horror of the five-tooth warship built by the former Sui Dynasty. Former Sui general Yang Su led five five-toothed warships. Facing hundreds of warships from the Chen Dynasty, he dared to charge wildly. In the end, he sank half of the enemy's warships and captured thousands of enemy troops in the first battle!
On the water, the Five-Tooth Battleship is almost invincible. If you want to defeat the Five-Tooth Battleship when the enemy goes all out, you can only fight fire with fire - use the Five-Tooth Battleship to defeat the Five-Tooth Battleship!
But where can his king get a five-tooth warship?
Wang Fangfang was so anxious that he almost went crazy.
This time he secretly attacked Fang Jun's fleet, and he was taking a huge risk. Those Jiangnan nobles didn't know who ordered them to leave Fang Jun in Niuzhuji, and they took the initiative to ask for help, hoping to gain the recognition of all the Jiangnan nobles.
But now we are facing failure...
He almost didn't dare think about the consequences he was about to face.
In the current situation, regardless of success or failure, Wang Shangfang can no longer escape the blame. Silently defeating Fang Jun's fleet is the most ideal outcome. Now that the troops and generals have been lost and a large number of warships are on board, this matter can no longer be concealed.
The Navy was an army of the imperial court and was under the direct control of the Ministry of War. Even the Jiangnan nobles could not put their hands into the Ministry of War. The fifth update! Asking for a monthly ticket! More to come later!
