    When the assault team at the front received the order, Yin Li was furious:

    "Hey! We haven't started yet, so we have to withdraw! This is a difficult dish, can't we finish it first?"

    However, even if he said this, he did not dare to disregard the overall situation:

    "Boys, do you hear that? They are all ready for me. Get ready to go back and guide these ships to the big guys!"

    Amidst the lamentations of the crowd, the ten small flying shears of the assault team were like frightened birds, adjusting their sails, the hull drew an astonishing arc, and retreated towards the formation in a meandering manner.

    Chase!  Chase me!

    At the rear, the Gongsundu fleet that pressed forward in one fell swoop had already opened an encirclement net. How could it be easily let go? Instead, it viciously surrounded the entire Penglai fleet from a wider angle.

    "Lean in! Just lean in! There's nothing they can do! No matter how strong a light and flimsy boat can be, even if you hit it, you can sink it! Get on top of me and kill!"

    The charge horn of Gongsundu¡¯s fleet sounded in full force!  Hundreds of ships, large and small, formed a huge fan, covering almost half of the direction of the Penglai fleet, coming with thundering momentum!

    But the people in the Penglai fleet here cheered even more: "Hahaha! Gongsun Xiao'er! You are really good. After a little provocation, you haven't learned any skills yet? You can't hold on anymore, haha! Let's start this battle.  It¡¯s so easy!¡± Zang Ba was on the bridge, so happy that he couldn¡¯t get carried away!

    "Hey! Xuan Gao! Stop it! Stop it! Don't be like this! Pay attention to your manners! You are now a general of the imperial court! The battle in front of you has not really started yet! Why are you so excited! You are the one who is really  If you are wild and unruly, then you have to wait until most of the enemy army has been wiped out and the overall situation has been decided before you can show your grace! You look like a monkey! What do you want me to say to the children in the future?"

    When Zang Ba was told by Sun Guan, he immediately woke up from a dream!

    "Well! Yes! Yes! You must pay attention to your manners and be graceful! In the future, the court will reward you, and you will be granted the title of marquis or uncle! This style is still very important, if not for other reasons. When the children grow up, they must be left behind  Something like that. Yeah! Yeah! Zhongtai is right!" Say it!  Zang Ba puffed out his chest and belly, acting like a general!

    "That's it! It should be good!" After saying that, he looked around to see if he could find a mirror to look at!

    ¡­¡­

    On the sea surface, while Gongsundu's fleet was pressing hard, the Penglai fleet also made a series of moves. It separated two second and third squadrons of more than ten ships from both sides, and had not yet captured Gongsundu's fleet.  A good opportunity to encircle, pass through the periphery of the encirclement net, open up a wider area, and go straight to Gongsun Du's rear army!

    And the main fleet of Penglai fleet, five large square-shaped ships, with more than twenty small flying shears, looked stupid, but in fact they crashed into the big net of Gongsundu fleet very fast!

    The fleets were fighting on the sea. The clippers of the Gongsundu fleet and the Penglai fleet were passing by at a very close distance. The clippers of the Gongsundu fleet had their heads covered, waiting for the terrible long-range attack by the enemy just now.  The weapon attack was met with silence.

    "Get closer! Get closer! Once you reach the heart of the enemy, attack from all sides!" Zang Ba said through gritted teeth.

    "But this will cause the enemy's small boats to surround us. Although our big ships are not afraid, the surrounding small boats are under attack!"

    "Hmph! We are under attack! There is no way to avoid casualties in a naval battle! If we launch an attack now, with our firepower, Gongsun Du's big ship will be frightened and immediately start to turn around and escape. By then, the vast sea will be hundreds of miles away.  In the sea area, this pursuit battle can be fought! Now we should concentrate our firepower to rush to the front first and destroy the big ship. It doesn¡¯t matter if there are other small ships! "

    Sun Guan was stunned by Zang Ba and was speechless

    As the Penglai fleet gradually deepened, the distance between it and Gongsundu's flagship was finally getting closer and closer. It was less than a kilometer away, and the surrounding boats had already begun to besiege.

    The clipper fleet, outnumbered, shuttled back and forth among the enemy's formations. The formation became more and more dense, and the performance of the crossbows became more and more sharp. However, after a few rounds of firing, several small boats were hit by bullets in the bottom, and the sea water  Pour it in and start the slow sinking!

    Gongsundu's clipper, on the other hand, was firing like locusts of rockets, and on the other hand, it was desperately trying to rely on help to fight, and even more fiercely, it drove directly towards the hull of the clipper.  The battle became more intense. The crew of the clipper ship relied on their excellent agility and speed to shuttle back and forth among the dense warships, often escaping the siege of the clipper ship at the critical moment

    Sudden!  Boom!  a bolt from the blue!The whole battlefield was really trembling. People saw a cloud of thick smoke coming out from Zang Ba's flagship, and then just two to three hundred meters away on the opposite side, Gongsun Du's flagship suffered a huge earthquake, and the front hull of the ship was shaken.  , a big hole as big as the face exploded with a bang.

    The ship-borne artillery is showing off its power!

    Immediately afterwards, before people's heads could react to the scene in front of them, a series of roars immediately sounded, and clouds of white smoke continued to appear from the five-story ship of the Penglai fleet, quickly destroying the ship.  Deck covered.

    Gongsundu's flagship had withstood the most attacks. It was like a swing all over its body. It was constantly vibrating, roaring and exploding. Wood chips were flying on the surface of the ship, the mast was broken, and soon it was riddled with holes and tons of sea water.  The water poured into the hull. There was no one on the deck and there was a mess everywhere.  Gongsun Du himself has completely disappeared!

    The soldiers on the surrounding ships were extremely shocked!  this!  Is this the beginning?  Is the eldest son¡¯s flagship finished like this?

    Then, as we watched, the mind-blowing artillery fire began to shift, and each cannon continued to roar.  Chain bullets passed by with a roar from above, and the mast of the large ship collapsed, causing a scream on the deck!  Every time a solid bullet hits, large pieces of wood scatter, leaving a bloody mess around it.

    The first wave of bombardment by the Penglai fleet focused on the opponent's maneuverability, that is, the mast with the sail!  In the era of sailing warships, this was the enemy's Achilles' heel. Once hit, it meant that one's side had the initiative, and it was one's own decision to fight or run!

    Furthermore, from Zang Ba¡¯s point of view, the opponent does not have much firepower to retaliate. As long as the opponent cannot escape, he can slowly ravage him, so the battle at the beginning is mainly based on chain bombs!  First, attack the opponent's mobility.  Then, the distance between the ships of the two armies became closer and closer, and the short-range firepower also began to roar!

    This round, the ingredients have become complicated. Not only are there shotguns made of stones, glass, ballast, and iron projectiles, but there are also countless messy weapons!

    The first is the ballista!  But this is no longer a small single-shot ballista, but a complex-structured and huge repeating machine ballista!  This is a masterpiece created by the great master craftsman Ma Jun¡¯s application of Mohist organ skills!  Behind the triggering mechanism of the ballista is a huge magazine, which contains a complex loading device. Through the reciprocating motion of the gear and chain mechanism, the ballista fires standard iron projectiles: a series of processes such as preparation, loading, and firing are realized.  With the help of automation, it can continuously fire fifty preloaded five-kilogram standard iron projectiles at a time, with a firing speed of twenty rounds per minute. The precision of its structure is amazing, and its firepower is even more frightening!

    This is another epoch-making military invention independently developed locally, and another scientific and technological achievement under the guidance of Li Zhe's fire coverage military weapons development strategy!

    But due to its huge size, complex structure and total weight of five tons, the scope of application of this thing is greatly limited. Currently, it can only be loaded on the main battleships of naval battles!

    There are also other types of firearms, such as rockets, which are primitive experimental weapons based on the jet principle. The most representative and deterrent one is the so-called Hundred Tigers Running Together, a large-scale destructive firearm.  The main body is a huge box, which contains dozens of iron pipes. It can load dozens of special rockets at a time, with calibers ranging from 100 mm to 150 mm and a length of one meter. They are burned by black powder at the bottom.  The gas expands in the iron pipe made of cast iron to form momentum, which launches the rocket.

    As for the rocket itself, the front section is a small gasoline incendiary bomb with a ceramic shell, and the tail is a ceramic tail fin, which maintains its aerodynamic characteristics and can fly smoothly in the air. The range can reach 300 meters and is controlled by a fuse.  At the time of explosion, it reaches the sky above the target, or explodes on the target, forming a gasoline flame that is difficult to extinguish!

    This weapon is extremely vicious, but extremely effective. It can be called a nightmare for wooden ships fighting at sea!  A single launch is enough to destroy an entire warship!  However, there are certain dangers in using it on a ship, and it needs to be installed and used properly.

    In addition, there are heavy crossbows, ballistae, trebuchets, ordinary simple kerosene bombs, single giant rockets, etc.!  The entire building itself is a huge ammunition depot, with more than a dozen long-range weapons fired from top to bottom, like a goddess scattering flowers!  Firepower was poured out like a downpour, and the shrill sound of whooshing in the air kept ringing, and the white smoke emitted by gunpowder weapons flooded the entire hull!

    The surrounding Gongsun family warships seemed to have encountered the roar of the God of Fire, receiving continuous blows. The surrounding boats seemed to be in large numbers, but they were basically shot one by one, and an iron projectile would kill them.  Its main structure was destroyed and the hull separated.

    Under the blow of the storm, looking at the large number of Gongsun who surrounded him with great momentum,The formation of ships quickly decomposed and disappeared in the vast sea of ????fire. Under the endless rain of fire, in the end only a few scattered ships were left, but the large ships were still stubbornly holding on.  Even though he was unable to move and there were blazing fireworks everywhere, he still stubbornly persisted and refused to sink, just like the last strong and unyielding warrior, floating alone on the sea!

    Gongsun Du¡¯s main fleet was completely destroyed!

    But it's not over yet. From a distance, we can see hundreds of small boats outflanked by Gongsundu's fleet rushing up. From a distance, we can see that the hull of the ship is starting to catch fire, and then the fire is getting bigger and bigger.  The entire fleet became like a wall of blazing fire, pressing sideways towards the Penglai main fleet!

    "Huh! Struggling to the death! Guizhou donkey has no skills!" Zang Ba scolded fiercely!

    All kinds of firearms fired together, destroying each small boat in the fire fleet, and suddenly opened a road through it. The large ship passed through the fire cautiously, like a knight who broke out of the siege alone, proudly facing the sunset.  Run!  Behind him is a raging sea of ??burning fire!  (To be continued.
