Li Feng stared at the distance between the two armies and suddenly shouted loudly: "Let go!"
The Han army was about 160 steps away from the Wu army. As Li Feng issued an order, the Han army's fleet, which had been silent, first turned on the spot and turned sideways towards the Soochow warship.
Then he let out a roar.
Lu Ju was speechless.
Xin said that the three-bow bed crossbow was developed by Liu Chan. He had also heard that the Han army's bed crossbow had a range of up to 600 steps. However, in the past few days of fighting, he discovered that the Han army's bed crossbow had multiple feather arrows, with a range of
Wu Jun’s single shot is almost the same.
It’s also about five hundred steps.
It is also for this reason that Wu Jun's bed crossbow works.
If the Han army's bed crossbows had a higher range than the Wu army, they could have opened the distance between the two armies and made the Wu army's bed crossbows unable to reach them. However, the Han army kept an equal distance from the Wu army and fired down in the past few days.<
/p>
Lu Zhi believed that the Han army's crossbows could reach six hundred steps, which was definitely a rumor.
But even so, is Li Feng crazy?
Why did he have to close the distance before starting to attack when he could shoot at five hundred paces?
Just when Lu Zheng was confused, the Han army's spear suddenly flew towards him.
Bang——
Suddenly there was a violent explosion, followed by sawdust flying everywhere, and the mast not far behind Lu Zheng was blown off.
What the hell?
All Wu Jun soldiers were stunned.
The next moment, several more Han army spears fell on the Wu army warship, a three-bow bed crossbow was blown up, and nearby soldiers were blown into several large pieces.
"Monster!"
"Run!"
"..."
Wu Jun had never encountered anything like this, nor had he seen such weapons. In the past, everyone used weapons such as bows, crossbows, and swords, even if they had a certain degree of lethality.
But there are ways to resist.
But what weapons are the Han army using now?
It actually explodes.
Moreover, the lethality caused by the explosion is definitely not comparable to that of a crossbow.
Bang bang, bang bang, bang.
In an instant, four or five Wu army warships in the middle exploded one after another, while the Han army's crossbows were still roaring.
It was also because of the explosion that the soldiers of the Wu Army were so frightened that they had forgotten to fight back, and they all ran away, fearing that they would be hurt by this terrifying monster.
"Let it go!"
"Let it go!"
"Let it go!"
Li Feng kept shouting loudly. He was very excited. This thing was also very powerful on the water. After two rounds of attacks, three of the Wu army warships in front had lost their combat effectiveness, except for their masts.
After being blown apart, large holes visible to the naked eye appeared in the cabins, and with the flames generated after the explosion, several warships of the Wu Army were already in flames.
This fire is definitely not the effect that the three-bow crossbow's musket and rocket can achieve.
"Prefect!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Suddenly a spear landed a few steps away from Lu Zheng and exploded, an iron piece the size of a thumb, in just the blink of an eye,
He hit Lu Ju's right leg, causing Lu Ju to fall onto the boat with a bang. The nearby soldiers hurriedly ran to pull him away.
"Quickly retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!"
His right leg was suddenly injured, and Lu Zheng could no longer stand normally. He was supported by several soldiers. While he was retreating to the back boat, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw quickly.
There is no way to fight this battle.
With the support of the soldiers, Lu Ju quickly retreated to the ships behind him, but at this moment, five warships in front sank in front of his eyes.
"Stop shooting!"
After sinking five warships of the Wu army, Li Feng finally ordered to stop the attack.
Because what he wanted to achieve has been achieved.
Although he can continue to move forward and sink more Soochow warships, he only has more than 800 explosive packs. After this attack, he has used fifty or sixty.
If the explosion continues like this.
It won't take long for him to consume all the more than 800 explosive packets.
After withdrawing his troops and returning to the camp, Lu Zheng looked gloomy. Today was the most embarrassing and timid day in his life.
"What kind of weapons did the Han army use?" Lu Ju, who was lying on the couch, asked the generals around him.
But all the answers I got were head shaking and deathly silence.
This was also their first time seeing it. How did they know what weapons the Han army used?
In today's battle, the Wu army originally won a great victory, because they surrounded and annihilated twelve Han army warships, killed thousands of Han army soldiers, and Wu's army sank all twelve Han army warships.
This could have allowed them to hold a celebration banquet, but at this moment, they seemed to have suffered a big defeat.
Five warships were sunk and more than 2,000 soldiers died.
If we only compare the death data, Wu Jun is still the victor.
However, no one in Wu Jun was excited about this. Instead, they all frowned.
"Prefect!"
In the silence, a middle-aged general suddenly came out and said: "What kind of weapons are used by the Han army? This is the first time we have encountered it." After saying that, he paused, then glanced at his companions around him and said:
"Didn't we capture a lieutenant general of the Han army? Why don't we call him over and ask, maybe we will know what kind of weapons the Han army used."
As soon as the man finished speaking, Lu Zheng, who was originally frowning, was so happy that he forgot that his right leg was still injured and sat up suddenly. He didn't move his right leg because of the pain, but there was a look of surprise on his face.
: "Go quickly and bring Meng Hua to see me!"
"No!"
A small school immediately accepted the promise.
Not long after, Meng Hua, escorted by two Wu soldiers, came to Lu Zhi's tent. Looking at the Wu generals, Meng Hua said angrily: "Kill me if you dare! Kill me!"
"Meng Ziyuan!" Lu Zheng said with a smile: "There is no need to be so angry, I will not harm the general."
"Quick! Untie General Meng!" Lu Ju ordered the people around.
"Go away!" Meng Hua swung the two approaching Wu soldiers away.
"General Meng!" he said with a smile: "Han and Wu were originally allies. This time your army invaded the territory for no reason. Now that the general has been captured by our army, why not..." After speaking, Lu Zheng paused and then said:
Yan said: "It is better for the general to surrender to Wu. Lu will definitely report it to the emperor. With his talents as a general, he will definitely be reused by the emperor."
"Bah!" Meng Hua laughed angrily: "The Han Dynasty only has beheaded generals, how can there be people who surrender to the enemy and betray the country?" As he said, he smiled coldly and said: "This time our army of the Han Dynasty marches eastward, and the destruction of Soochow is inevitable.
It must be done. If you know the current affairs, you might as well take the opportunity to lead the people to surrender. If not, when Soochow is destroyed, it will be the day when you will be killed."
"Meng Ziyuan!" a bearded general roared: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Hahaha!" Meng Hua laughed loudly and said: "Meng Hua lives and dies as a general of the Han Dynasty, and dies as a ghost of the Han Dynasty. Besides, everyone is mortal, so why should Meng Hua be afraid?"
Of course Meng Hua knows the situation at hand.
He is very clear about how powerful the Han Dynasty is now. Although the navy that led them to attack Soochow this time has never been on the battlefield before, there are 100,000 soldiers in this navy who can destroy Soochow.
The navy's weapon.
When Soochow wanted to stop the Han army from destroying Wu, they were using their arms as a chariot.
Although he is now a prisoner, he would rather die than surrender, because surrender only delays death. Once the Han army attacks Wu, if he surrenders at this time, he will not only be executed as a traitor, but also
It will also leave behind an eternal infamy for being greedy for life, afraid of death, and surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country.
Moreover, now he hates these Wu people in front of him very much. Yesterday evening, he led 3,000 elite Han troops and was about to rush out of Yishan. However, before leaving Yishan, he was ambushed by the Wu army. The 3,000 Han troops were ambushed.
Except for him, everyone was shot to death.
Those were the three thousand elite Han troops he brought.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Meng Hua said loudly: "If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you."
The generals of the Wu army were furious, but they had nothing to do. After all, the Han army was now strong, and today the Han army used such an unknown but surprisingly powerful weapon.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's expression changed slightly, he looked at Meng Hua and said: "General Meng is unwilling to surrender to me, Wu, and I will not force anyone to do anything. As long as General Meng clears up our doubts, I will release the general immediately."
Return to Han camp."
???
Meng Hua was stunned.
What does this guy want to know?
Now that the Han army is on a four-pronged expedition to the east, and the war letter has been sent to Soochow, and the war has begun, is there any secret that the Wu army wants to know?
"Today..." Lu Ju said in a deep voice: "Today, your army used a weapon that made a violent explosion. I don't know..." After saying that, he paused, looked at Meng Hua, and asked:
"I don't know what this thing is. As long as General Meng informs us, I will release the general immediately."
Explosive package?
Meng Hua was instantly shocked. Of course he knew about the explosives. As Li Feng's deputy general, if he didn't know about these things, his work as a deputy general would have been in vain.
It’s just that he can’t figure it out.
Didn't the Grand Governor say that the number of these explosive packs was limited and they should be reserved for the final attack on Wuchang City? How come they were used in advance and used against Lu Zhi?
Seeing Meng Hua panic, Lu Zheng was also confused.
Naturally, he didn't believe that Meng Hua didn't know, but Meng Hua's panic made him very puzzled.
"General Meng!"
"General Meng!" Lu Jue called out twice and said, "General, if you want to return to the Han camp, please tell me, general, what is this thing?"
"Hahaha!" Meng Hua laughed when he heard this and said: "This thing is the only one I have, it's called an explosive pack. One explosive pack can sink a warship." As he said that, he glanced at Lu
According to the report, he said with a smile: "Prefect Lu, since I asked about this thing, your army must have learned the power of this thing."
Although Meng Hua didn't know why Li Feng used the explosive pack in advance, since it had been used and Lu Ju was so anxious to know about it, it meant that he had learned about it, and he must have been lying on the couch at this time.
He was injured by the explosive package.
Now that the explosive pack has appeared on the battlefield, he is not afraid to let Lu Zhi and the others know what it is, but Lu Zhi and a room full of Wu army generals are all a little confused.
Explosive package?
What is an explosive pack?
"Prefect Lu!" Meng Hua continued: "This thing was only available to me, a big man, in the world, and it is extremely complicated to make. Even if I am a big man, there are very few people who have the method to make it. This time, I, a big man, am determined to march eastward and destroy it.
Wu, without cutting-edge weapons, will never attack easily."
Meng Hua wanted to strike while the iron was hot and scare these Soochow generals to death.
After saying that, Meng Hua looked around at the Soochow generals. Not to mention, their expressions already told him the answer.
They are very scared.
"Surrender! Prefect Lu!" Meng Hua suddenly said coldly: "The power of this explosive pack is amazing. Not to mention these wooden warships, even the solid city walls can be blown into dust by it. I am a big man.
The emperor used this explosive pack in the Western Regions before, and he attacked eighteen cities in the Western Regions within three months. How can you stop them?"
