The sub-munition bomb flew out of the barrel, passing over the blue sea with the sound of whining wind.
Zhu Zhu seemed to sense something and turned around to see two black iron balls rapidly enlarging in his pupils.
It’s over…
Zhu Shu squatted down and hugged his head in horror. He only heard a dull crash. There was no violent explosion, no fire, and no one was injured.
"Missed?"
Zhu Zhu stood up carefully to inspect, and quickly ordered: "Quick, speed up and enter the rocky sea area!"
Click!
Zhu Shu raised his head uneasily and saw the mast of the Dafu ship cracking. A strong wind blew over, and the force of the sail acted on the mast. The mast could no longer bear it, and it broke with a click and smashed towards the bow of the ship!
boom!
The thick mast smashed the bow of the ship, and several sergeants couldn't dodge and were smashed to death. The small boat that opened the way in front of the Dafu ship was also severely hit by the mast head, and rolled directly into the sea. The sergeants struggled. , shouting.
Luo Guanying saw this scene and heard the subsequent sound of artillery, but after all, there was a distance of more than 400 steps. Without superb aiming skills and enough gunpowder, it would be difficult to deal damage from such a long distance. possible.
Sure enough, although the artillery on the treasure ship was loud, there was no time to adjust the amount of gunpowder. Most of them hit the sea area of more than 300 steps. Although some cannon stones hit the sea area of 400 steps, they lacked accuracy and only caused waves.
"Two and a half gunpowder, reload!"
While Luo Guanying notified the other sergeants, he took out three gunpowder particles from the cowhide pouch on his waist and added them to the medicine chamber of the divine machine gun. Shen Wei stuffed the explosive bomb into the barrel of the artillery, arranged the match rope, and sealed the medicine. In the room, Zhao Shiyu and Yuan Yichen had calculated the direction and adjusted the angle again, and Luo Guanying fired the divine machine cannon.
boom!
The cannon stones flew out, and they were not alone. Behind it followed a group of cannon stones, whizzing by.
Li Xing looked at the scene of the cannonball flying out and said to Zheng He: "The King of Qi is on the ship and he directly ordered the bombardment. Will someone take advantage of it?"
Zheng He also knew the dangers of doing so.
After all, the King of Qi is the vassal king. No one in the emperor or the court has explicitly stated that they want to kill the vassal king. They have not endorsed Zheng He. If the king of Qi is really killed, they will turn their backs and deny it. They will deduct one of the charges for killing the vassal king. hat of……
You must know that some officials of the Ming Dynasty are very shameless.
Zheng He held a telescope and watched the artillery fire and a ship being hit and sunk. He only said one sentence to Li Xing: "I am a eunuch."
Li Xing was stunned for a moment and then understood.
No matter how the ministers in the DPRK fall out and how they settle the accounts afterwards, it will not be easy to hold Zheng He accountable. He is not only the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, but also the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor. To put it bluntly, he is both a eunuch and deputy commander-in-chief. Soldier, the eunuch is the official position, the deputy chief soldier is just a miscellaneous job, his immediate boss is the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, but it is also the emperor himself...
As long as the emperor does not pursue the case, then Zheng He will feed King Qi to the bastard, and no matter how many people in the court impeach him, it will be to no avail.
Li Xing calmed down, looked at the tragic sea in the distance, and asked: "Who is the guy who fired the cluster bomb? It was so accurate. If he hadn't interrupted King Qi's sail, he might have been dragged to the shallow reef waters by King Qi. "
Zheng He smiled softly and said: "I'm afraid it's Luo Guanying and the others. Don't tell me, these people have really researched something. They operate the divine machine cannon. It can be said that they can hit wherever they point. Their accuracy exceeds that of the military." Veterans. You have to find a way to get them to hand over the plan later. The treasure ship can't just have a group of powerful people."
Li Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid they won't give it."
Zheng He put away the telescope and said: "How would you know if you didn't ask? They are not the supervisors of the Imperial College now, but the alternate commanders of the treasure ship. If they want to integrate into the treasure ship and be accepted by all the sergeants, they will always have to pay more. Some. Send an order to Zhu Neng and Du Yu to block the sea area and not allow anyone to leave."
Li Xing asked: "Then shall we continue to fight?"
Zheng He squinted and looked into the distance, then asked, "Is there still a need to fight?"
No need.
The King of Qi, who was so majestic not long ago, is now holding a piece of broken wood. A sergeant tried to grab it, but King Qi cut off three of his fingers. This guy obviously didn't know that he was blind and didn't know that the buoyancy of the broken wood was limited. , As soon as you come here, Lord Qi will have to drink sea water. How can he not settle the score with you?
"Come back and save me!"
Zhu Shu shouted loudly at the fleeing boat in the distance, but the group of people seemed to be deaf. They paddled as hard as they could, and the boat got farther and farther away.
"Chaizhi!"
"Your Majesty, Commander Chai is dead."
One of the guards pointed to the body floating on the sea and said to King Qi.
Generals rarely die on the battlefield, that is a land battle. For naval battles with divine machine guns, it is normal for several generals to die. Not to mention the divine machine cannon, even the crossbow didn't have eyes. Chen Youliang was shot in the head by a cold arrow and died.
Lao Chen is no longer good, so there is nothing surprising about this firewood hanging straight up.
Zhu Su lost his most important subordinates and most of his ships. Looking up, he saw many soldiers drowning in the water. After all, these sergeants are mainly from the north and Yunnan, and their water resistance is very poor. Some of them are even seasick and have already lost their physical strength. Now that they fall into the sea, they can only be mercilessly swallowed by the sea.
Some bodies were floating, some were sinking under the sea, and there were even some body parts hanging on broken wooden boats.
That terrible explosive weapon destroyed the ship, destroyed the sergeant's will to fight, and also destroyed his imperial dream of conquering the world!
Zhu Shu was unwilling to give in. He slapped the sea surface, looked at the slightly red water, and shouted to the sergeants around him: "Escort me ashore quickly, hurry up!"
Some people didn't move because they had no strength. It was good to live on the driftwood. They also escorted you. Why escort? You think everyone can swim. You know how to let the wood out.
But after all, there are die-hard people, especially Zhu Shu's palace guards. They have been tied to Zhu Shu. If Zhu Shu dies, these people will have no way to survive.
But they didn't seem to think about whether they still had a chance to survive if Zhu Shu was alive.
With the help of several water-savvy guards, Zhu Shu finally began to leave this hellish sea and swam towards the shore. Zheng He's treasure ship finally arrived at this sea.
Luo Guanying's face was pale, and the bodies of Zhao Shiyu, Yuan Yichen, and Shen Wei were also trembling slightly. I don't know who couldn't help it first, but ran to the side of the ship first and vomited.
It was simple to fire the divine machine cannon from a distance, but when they really saw the blood and cruelty of the battlefield, and saw the uncomfortable stumps and broken arms, as well as some disgusting intestines, these scholars finally couldn't stand it anymore. .
Once a war starts, people will always die, but the death in the imagination is completely different from the death in the real scene. No matter how you imagine it, it can't compare with the horror before you.
In my worst nightmare, I have never seen such a hellish scene!
The power of the explosive bomb is too great, far beyond that of a solid bomb that relies on impact. The power of its explosion will tear the cast iron wrapped in explosives into pieces, and these countless cast iron fragments become murder weapons.
Any fragment is enough to kill a sergeant and destroy a life!
Luo Guanying felt cold all over, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked at the tragic battlefield. It was only covered by a few rounds of artillery, but it was already like this. If there were a few more rounds, wouldn't there be no living people at all?
"This is war!"
Luo Guanying clung to the side of the boat and looked at the horrifying and tragic scenes on the sea.
This is different from what I imagined, and different from the war described in the book!
Shouldn't the war be directed with determination, strategizing, and a decisive victory thousands of miles away, with the enemy defeated and a complete victory achieved? How come in reality, it has become a blood-stained sea, corpses everywhere, and a hell on earth?
"War is only cold cruelty, a life-and-death struggle, nothing else! Don't be stunned, get ready to save people."
Zheng He came over and said to Luo Guanying and others.
Luo Guanying and others looked at the sergeants and migrant workers struggling to survive on the sea, and those who were on the verge of death. Their hearts became extremely heavy, and they quickly arranged for the sergeants to lower the boat.
These people are all from the Ming Dynasty. It was King Qi who rebelled, not them.
Although they are involved, they still need to be rescued if they can. Now there is a shortage of manpower in the north. The imperial court will not hesitate to expend great efforts to immigrate from Shanxi. If tens of thousands of people are killed here, the emperor will be angry.
Although the damage caused by several rounds of cannon-rock strikes was huge, after all, a few tubes of cannon-rocks couldn't kill everyone. More people jumped into the sea, and ended up drowning because they couldn't swim.
There is no way, this is a sea battle, not on land. If you lose, you still have room to run. If you don't have time to run, you can lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Ordinary tricks will not work at sea...
In addition, these people are not good at swimming. In just a short time, corpses with intact limbs can already be seen floating on the sea.
Small boats were lowered one after another, and they began to search and call for help from the drowning people. Some of the surviving sergeants lost the will to fight and became prisoners willingly.
"The Qi Dynasty ran away from the shore, what should we do?"
Li Xing searched with a telescope for a long time before he saw the embarrassed figure of King Qi.
Zheng He looked into the distance, tilted his neck slightly, and said, "Don't he know that there is Fan Gong Dike? I'm wondering how he plans to climb up the embankment..."
Li Xing grinned and suddenly laughed.
If you run, you can't escape.
With his short legs, he still can't climb up Fan Gongdi...
Zheng He seemed very calm. After fighting against the Chen Zuyi pirates and Japanese pirates, he had become a qualified battlefield commander, but this was not his dream.
What I really want to do is to go to that distant holy land, touch the holy stone, and express my feelings.
End this as soon as possible and prepare for a second trip to Nanyang. The emperor has big plans and he needs to keep up with them.
