The first thousand two hundred and sixty-two chapters are defeated like a mountain
Just as Liu Xianjun's fleet was rushing and killing fiercely in the siege, the Liu Xianjun's fleet on the periphery had already broken into the middle of the Wu army's formation!
The gunship began to bombard opponents with explosive bombs and shots.
The so-called explosive bomb is a special shell filled with gunpowder and leads. The gunpowder fires the shell out and ignites the leads on it.
When the shells hit the middle of the opponent's warship, the leads burned out and immediately exploded in the opponent's warship. With the roar of flames, the Wu army warships hit by the bomb were smashed into pieces from the inside!
Some warships were ignited by bombs and the gunpowder depot was then exploded. Huge fireballs rose up, illuminating the entire battlefield, and the scene was very shocking!
The Wu army warship that caused this explosion was blown into pieces, and the goddess fell on this large area of water like a scattered flower!
Liu Xianjun's gunship also used shotguns to bombard the opponent. The so-called shotgun, as the name suggests, is to not load individual projectiles, but wrap a large number of iron nails, steel balls, etc. in cotton cloth, add a bottom support made of wooden boards to the bottom, and load it into the gunbore together.
After the fire was opened, the powerful force of the gunpowder erupted and spurted these things out of the cannon chamber, and the cotton cloth and wooden boards would immediately split, while a large number of iron nails and steel balls would rush towards the target like a storm!
After rushing into the opponent's ship, a Liu Xianjun gunship fired a volley of Wu army gunships next to him using shotguns!
In an instant, countless iron nails and steel balls enveloped the entire gunship, and then the extremely dense sound of gold and iron collision sounded, and the gunship was riddled with holes in the dense sound!
The Wu army officers and soldiers on the deck, as well as the officers and soldiers who were working on artillery, screamed and were blown away and fell into the water as if they were swept through the storm!
The officers and soldiers who did not fall into the water fell to their comrades' side. When the comrades looked at him, their scalp suddenly became numb because what he saw was the almost broken corpses, bloody and bloody, and almost all their facial features disappeared!
The Wu army was still trying hard to resist, but with the impact of the opponent's fleet, their losses became greater and greater, and their positions became more and more chaotic!
Finally, with the roar of huge cannons, Huang Gai's flagship was attacked by fire, and suddenly there was a tragic scene of the mast falling down. Many officers and soldiers on the deck could not escape and were swept into the water by the powerful power of the cannon fire, and the scene was in a mess!
Huang Gai lay on the platform, feeling dizzy, roaring in his ears, shook his head, calmed down, and then realized that his flagship was smashed to pieces by the sudden bombardment just now!
Several generals rushed to Huang Gai's side and helped him up.
Huang Gai looked around and saw that his own fleets were all defeated! The enemy fleet was rampant and had no firepower, and wherever he passed, he destroyed his own defense and counterattacks one after another!
The roar of artillery fire shocked the world, and the raging flames even ignited the reed marsh. The water surface was densely filled with wreckage of warships and officers and soldiers who fell into the water to survive. The entire Wu army was already in full collapse.
Huang Gai was sad and angry, but he knew that when the war reached this point, he was powerless to turn things around!
After calming down, he shouted loudly: "Retreat! The entire army retreat!"
In fact, the Wu army was already in a collapse at this moment, and with the order to retreat, all the Wu army lost their fighting spirit and began to be defeated in full swing, and fled to the depths of Taihu Lake.
Liu Xianjun did not intend to let them escape like this. All warships chased after them with all their might, and the artillery and crossbows kept firing at the maximum frequency they could achieve!
The whistling shells and flying guns and arrows fell into the middle of the defeated Wu army. Many fleeing warships were destroyed and the officers and soldiers fell into the water!
The fierce battle gradually faded away, but the fire in the reed marsh became more and more prosperous. The strong fire illuminated the water surface, and countless wreckage and corpses were floating!
...
Lu Meng, Sun Jing and others were looking at the battlefield on the west gate tower, with anxious expressions on their faces, because the battle situation in front of them was different from what they expected, why was the sound of fierce fighting gradually fading away?!
At this moment, an officer stumbled to Lu Meng, and Sun Jing said in front of him with a panic look on his face: "No, Governor General, Deputy Governor!
Our army, our army was ambushed and defeated!…”
Sun Jing, Lu Meng and others were shocked. Sun Jing pulled the general up and shouted loudly with his eyes, "What did you say?"
The officer swallowed and said anxiously: "Just as our army besieged the enemy, a large number of enemy ships suddenly appeared around us to launch a counterattack against our army. Our army was caught off guard and was immediately beaten to chaos.
However, the enemy fleet that was surrounded by us launched a fierce counterattack at this time. The iron-armored warships were simply steel monsters. We could not resist them at all, and all the ship formations were washed away!
Although everyone resisted desperately, they were finally defeated by the enemy! Now the veteran General Huang Gai is leading the remnants of defeated generals to escape to Taihu Water Village!…”
Sun Jing let go of the officer, became stunned, looking at a loss and at a loss, murmured constantly, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Although Lu Meng has always been resourceful, he looked flustered and could not speak at this time!
Lu Meng thought that his plan had completely planned the opponent, but he didn't expect that in the end he fell into the other party's trap!
The navy army, who intended to destroy the opponent in one fell swoop, did not expect that it would suffer such a crushing defeat. It was difficult for him to accept the situation in the middle of heaven and hell.
Suddenly he remembered something and asked: "Did General Huang not use the Water Ghost Force to launch an attack? Why can he still let the other side's surrounded fleet launch a counterattack?"
The officer hurriedly said: "Our army's water ghost attacked, but was ambushed by the opponent's water ghost. He could not threaten the opponent's fleet at all, but instead fell into a desperate situation.
After this battle, even if our water ghost troops were not wiped out, they would probably have lost most of the losses!"
Lu Meng was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but murmur: "All our methods were captured by the other party! Damn it! Damn it!"
Sun Jing looked at Lu Meng, and showed a look that seemed to be holding a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "Deputy Governor, you have to find a way to rescue General Huang and the others!"
Lu Meng frowned.
On the other side, the navy led by Huang Gai fled all the way. When the sun rose from the east and illuminated the entire Taihu Lake, they finally escaped into the water village located on the island in the middle of the lake.
The officers and soldiers were shocked and looked around, but found that there were only a few people and boats around them.
A sad feeling rose in Huang Gai's heart, even the desire to die.
