The clay man was stunned, but it does not mean that the clay man was defeated miserably.

The Song Army's artillery hit rate was too low. In order to improve the hit rate, they only had to line up horizontally.

Even so, it is impossible to cause substantial destruction at a distance of more than a hundred meters.

For example, at this time, the warship Li Kun was on fired from both sides at the same time, firing a total of forty cannons.

But in fact, eighteen of them fell into the sea, and a dozen of them hit the opponent's ship, and only nearly seven of them hit the opponent's people.

Only about twenty people were actually killed.

With this hit rate and damage, it is impossible to destroy the opponent with just one shot.

Objectively speaking, the destruction of the opponent's combat power is almost negligible.

As for a mast being broken, firstly, it’s because most of the warships of the Bangni people are small warships, which are only half the size of the Song Dynasty ships. Secondly, it’s because of... shitty luck!

What confused the Clay Man was not only the shocking scene of his own men being blown to pieces in front of them, but also the roar of the artillery and the blows to the hull.

At least, in the long past, people who sailed on the sea have never seen something that can smash a corner of a warship at such a long distance in an instant.

To the Bangni people of this era, this scene is like people in the 21st century suddenly seeing a powerful missile flying from the East China Sea to the Caribbean Sea in one minute.

This completely broke through the cognition of the times.

The shock brought by this kind of cognitive level being impacted in an instant makes people feel suffocated and overwhelmed.

The clay figures at this time were like this.

Their minds went blank, and the wanton noise just now came to an abrupt end.

All of them have big mouths and wide eyes.

It is easy for people in the 21st century to understand. Even the Song Army knew that the firing range of this tiger squatting cannon was about more than three hundred meters. After firing, it had to cool down before refilling the shells.

Moreover, the Song Army also knew that their number of artillery shells was limited and they should not waste it at will.

But the clay man doesn’t know!

At this time, the group of clay men only saw some black shadows roaring towards them, impacting on their own people, turning them into bloody flesh, and those who were closer were also hit.

Many of them didn't even see clearly what it was.

It is inevitable that some people will have ghost-like things in their minds.

When some people saw the fist-sized iron ball on the deck, their poor minds couldn't figure out what it was.

What's even more frightening is that the Weni people don't know that the Song Army's artillery needs to be cooled down, and they don't know that the Song Army's artillery is limited in number.

They instinctively covered their heads and climbed on the boat.

Fear was like a huge net, pressing down on them.

The four ships that were going to surround and kill Liu Xiang were also a little confused.

They were not hit, and they could barely see what was going on here. However, they were shocked when they heard the roar and saw a mast collapse.

Then, someone shouted: "Poseidon is angry!"

Everyone on the ship looked horrified.

In this era, what people at the seaside fear most is the anger of the sea god.

Therefore, people at the seaside tend to have religious beliefs.

The sudden series of rumbling sounds, the attack on their own warship, the splash in the sea, and the screams all made the clay men here feel a little scared.

When they looked at Liu Xiang's boat again, their fear became even more intense.

Liu Xiang was also a little confused. He and his crew members went from panic to shock and surprise, staring blankly over there.

I saw a cloud of blue smoke rising from the Song Army's warship.

There seemed to be nothing but blue smoke.

After the brief loud noise and impact on the clay figures, some of them seemed to have returned to normal.

The sea is still blue and the sea breeze is still gentle.

But the oarsmen below the deck of the Bangnimen continued to paddle, and the Bangnimen's warships continued to approach the Song army.

When the distance was reduced to 100 meters, nearly half a minute had passed since the artillery attack. The trembling clay man lying on the deck realized that the situation did not seem to be the same as before.

Some people then raised their heads and took a look again, and found that the surrounding sea was also very calm, so they couldn't help but stand up.

Others also stood up one after another and looked at each other.

Someone carefully looked at the surrounding sea and found that everything was normal.

"Kill!" an officer shouted, and the fear of the people around him immediately disappeared, and they began to shout loudly, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Archers also began to set up bows and arrows on the side of the ship, preparing to attack the Song army at any time when they were close.

However, they did not know that this half minute was enough for the Song army to cool down its artillery.

"Approach at full speed!" The same officer shouted loudly in Malay.

He was only about 1.4 meters tall. He was tanned, but his eyes were fierce, and he held a short knife in his left hand.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of artillery started again.

boom……

A handful of minced meat and blood splashed on the officer's forehead, and a pungent fishy smell hit his face.

The soldiers on the officer's deck were not hit last time, but two were killed this time.

I just recovered from my dazed state and tried to raise my energy, but was directly shattered from the front.

But this time, it's not just artillery.

The distance between the two sides had shortened to ninety meters, and the crossbows on the Song warships burst out with a dense rain of arrows, flying forward.

The arrows rained down, and the clay man's boat was filled with blood and screams.

"Quick! Get out!" the officers roared.

Seeing this, the other ships did not dare to attack and immediately turned around.

"General Staff Army, do you still need to fire artillery?"

"No need, save artillery."

I saw those clay figures' ships flying away like frightened birds.

Liu Xiang and his crew have not yet recovered.

"Guardian, has the clay man escaped?"

"I saw."

"what happened?"

"Probably artillery."

"What is artillery?"

"I haven't seen it either, but there are rumors within the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce. It is said that it is only available in the capital. There is a person in Guangzhou who has made one and plans to copy it and equip it on his own merchant ship. I thought this was just a rumor."

Liu Xiang's heart was filled with waves.

He stared blankly at the green smoke floating on the bow of the Song Army's ship and said, "I didn't expect it to be true!"

He is keenly aware that the situation in the South China Sea will change dramatically from today on.

The mud men who fled back to the shore got off the boat one after another.

Li Kun led the Song army to the harbor. The Nine-striped Dragon Flag fluttered in the sea breeze, symbolizing its majesty and courage.

At this time, King Bali was still in the palace eating fruits, drinking wine, and watching beautiful women dancing.

He would also ask his ministers from time to time: "Did the Song army surrender?"
