Chapter 216 Navy "Boom" the Tianxuan ship fired a cannonball, and was shaken by the recoil of the gunpowder.
The sailors stretched out their oars, which were as dense as centipede legs, and worked hard to stabilize the warship under the command of the ship's boss.
The gunnery commander was barefoot and shouting on the deck, ordering the gunners to push the fired guns back to their original positions and aim the unfired guns at the target area as much as possible.
Due to the ease of transportation, the cannons on ships are much larger than those on land.
The cannonball already weighed five and a half kilograms and had a maximum range of more than 800 steps.
When paired with modified fuses, the lethality is astonishing.
However, the recoil of the artillery was also terrifying.
As a result, every time the warship fires, it can only fire one door at a time from the bow to the stern.
Otherwise, taking the risk of firing a unilateral salvo will definitely result in the ship being capsized and everyone killed.
For a man like Zhu Qiang, the commander of the navy, who is accustomed to the bumps on the water, no matter how violent the ship is, it doesn't matter.
On the contrary, he also enjoyed the feeling of the ship rocking back and forth every time the gun was fired, as if it was flying in the clouds.
For Lu Zeng, who took refuge on the ship, this was tantamount to torture.
Soon, he vomited until his face turned green, and he was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up on the deck.
"Why are you doing this?"
Seeing that Lu Luzeng was vomiting, Zhu Qiang took out a sweat-stained licorice root from his arms and stuffed it into the old man's hand, "Chew it, swallow the juice after chewing, maybe you can Be more comfortable” "Thank you" was almost vomiting to the point of falling apart, but Old Master Lu did not forget to be polite.
First he cupped his hand towards Zhu Qiang, and then stuffed the whole licorice root into his mouth.
The unique smell of Chinese herbal medicine immediately made him frown, and then he felt a soothing sensation in his stomach and intestines.
He cupped his hands towards Zhu Qiang again and gasped, "Thank you so much.
This time, well, much better."
"That's it.
It's just such a short paragraph, and it costs more than 20 yuan."
Zhu Qiang smiled and grinned, and whispered, "Why are you doing this?
Isn't it good to stay on the shore?
I don't believe it.
Even if the thieves are really capable of killing us, they can't protect themselves even with the butcher's knife in the governor's hand.
You still have to hide on the ship."
"He, he asked his soldiers to carry me up," Lu Lu Zeng said, his face turned red, and he frowned and emphasized, "I, although I am an elder, I have to follow him in front of the two armies.
So, that’s why.”
"Hey, okay, you can always be tough."
Zhu Qiang had long known the old master's stage fright.
He smiled and curled his lips slightly.
"Sit tight, our ship has been moved into position, and it will be our turn to fire soon.
Sit tight, sit tight, a few people will help support Lu Changshi."
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom" a series of explosive bombs flew out, blowing up smoke and dust on the shore.
Looking at Old Master Lu again, he was shaken until his face turned gray and his lips turned blue.
He was holding on to the deck with both hands, and half of his life was gone.
After finally enduring the bombardment, the ship began to row again.
Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer.
He climbed to the side of the boat and vomited a few mouthfuls of yellow water.
He gasped and asked, "Still, we still need to fight.
How long?
I, I, I'm going to die.
I'm going to die on the shore."
"It's okay, it's okay" Zhu Qiang was angry and funny at the same time.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the old man's back vigorously a few times to help him regain his energy.

"After this round, we probably won't have to fight again.
The Qing Army has been repulsed six times.
Even if Zhang Mingjian learned his lesson later and arranged the team No matter how sparse it is, at least one or two hundred corpses will be left behind every time.
If Zhang Mingjian loses all his money, what else can he do to gain a foothold under Tuohuan Buhua?"
"If you can't have fun without flowers, if you can't have sex without flowers," Lu Zeng put his hands on the ground and murmured softly.
He wanted to say that the king of Zhennan was in charge of the enemy forces in the south, and Zhang Mingjian, who had thousands of households in the Qing army, was not qualified to decide whether to fight or retreat.
But the boss in my heart was not sure.
After all, King Tuohuanbuhua of Zhennan was naturally weak in temperament, and his control over his army was far inferior to that of his uncle Timur Buhua.
As he was talking, he saw the Qing army retreating like a tide, and they did not stop even after retreating past the disgraced flag-bearers.
Tuo Huan Bu Hua and the soldiers around him must be trying hard to stop him, but the effect is minimal.
Because the Qing Army did not retreat, but strode away from the battlefield as a whole.
Unless the King of Zhennan immediately sends someone to fight with Zhang Mingjian, it is impossible to stop him.
"Alas, the master is weak and the servant is strong, and the hierarchy is disordered.
This is the result.
This is the result.
When I was training in the Gaoyou Lake area, I had already predicted that one day it would be like this."
Lu Lu Zeng suddenly became energetic again and rubbed his eyes.
He shook his head with the bile hanging on his beard and said.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Zhu Qiang, the commander of the navy, seemed to be in conflict with the old man today.
He stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance, and retorted loudly.
"I always let the Qing Army risk their lives, and the people around me have been hiding behind to watch the fun.
Besides, the Luzhou Army in the east, ah, the Luzhou Army in the east has collapsed."
"Ah" Lu Lu was shocked.
He jumped up, held the side of the boat and looked towards the shore.
Sure enough, we saw that something seemed to have changed vaguely two or three miles away from the canal due east.
The sound of muskets like exploding beans kept coming from over there, and every time, it was accompanied by bursts of fanatical cheers.
"We won, we won."
The sailor standing in the gondola on the mast in charge of lookout cheered, and at the same time waved a red flag vigorously, "We won, we won.
East, East, Fifth Army, and, And the Guards, Breaking through the enemy's last line of defense, Timur didn't dare to fight.
He took his troops and horses and ran away with his grandmother.
This prince was so unjust that he left tens of thousands of rebels and Khitan soldiers.
I took the Mongolian soldiers and ran away first.”
"Run away, how is that possible?"
Lu Zeng could hardly believe his ears.
In his impression, Xuanrang Wang Timur Buhua has always been a man of both wisdom and courage.
Although he has been jealous of the court in recent years, he has not achieved much.
But abandoning the teacher and running away should not happen to this person under any circumstances.
"Run away, King Xuanrang really ran away.
Oh my God, he ran so fast, without even looking back."
As if he heard the question in Lu Luzeng's heart, his lookout hand continued to move in the hanging basket.
Shouting loudly, he was so excited that he wanted to do somersaults in mid-air.
Just then, a strong wind swept across the river, sweeping away the smoke from the burning gunpowder.
Lu Lu once tried his best to look around, and he saw that there were countless people running in a panic two or three miles due east and south.
He saw the flags of the Red Scarf Army appearing behind the escapees one after another, chasing them north like tigers among sheep.

He saw a Mongolian riding a tall horse fleeing under the protection of thousands of guards.
He saw that Timur's large woolen blanket was chopped down to the ground, and countless vigorous figures flew past it.
"They are the Mongolian army.
The Mongolian army that swept across the Western Regions and Jiangnan."
Lu Zeng murmured as if something stepped on his heart.
For so many years, all he had seen and heard was how powerful and brave the Mongolian army was.
Even if you occasionally lose, you can still fight to the death with your opponent.
But I have never heard of an entire Mongolian team of ten thousand people actually fleeing without a fight.
How could this be the work of the Mongolian army?
How could it be the descendants of the Mongolian army that swept the world?
"Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo, woo woo."
At this moment, the rapid horn also sounded in the Fourth Army's position, interrupting the old master's emotion.
The Fourth Army took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack.
The soldiers in the front row quickly pushed aside the car wall and walked out in groups.
While marching forward, they reorganized their formation, like a tide, one wave after another, layer upon layer, swallowing up all obstacles.
Opposite him, the King of Zhennan, Tuo Huan Bu Hua, quickly gathered his troops and fled before the Fourth Army and Xuzhou Fu Youde's troops could reach his side.
Didn't offer any resistance at all
"We won."
Zhu Qiang, the commander of the navy, took off the iron helmet on his head and used it as a tambourine, making a "dong-dong" sound.
"Win, win, win!"
The gunners raised their faces blackened by gunpowder and jumped and shouted on the boat.
Even the stupidest person can see that the Yuan army was completely defeated.
Although King Timur Buhua and King Zhennan each had tens of thousands of well-organized Mongolian troops around them, with the rebels and the Tanma Red Army gradually collapsing, it was impossible to defeat the 20,000 Mongolian troops alone.
Kill another carbine.
What's more, the morale of the Mongolian troops was also at an extremely low level at this moment.
It is already rare to be able to protect Timur Buhua and Tuohuan Buhua and evacuate the battlefield, and it is impossible to turn the tide again.
"Win, win."
Old Master Lu suddenly forgot about seasickness and ran around on the deck like an old naughty boy.
No matter who you see, never forget to pat the other person on the shoulder to show encouragement.
The navy officers knew that this timid but face-saving old master was Zhu Bayi's elder, so they did not refuse to be photographed by Lu Zeng.
Whenever the old master ran toward him, he would take the initiative to squat down a little so that it would be easier for him to take pictures.
"Well done, all of you are well done."
The old master became more and more addicted to taking pictures, and wished he could encourage everyone on board.
"Today's artillery blast was good.
It made the enemy cry like ghosts.
It's a pity that King Zhennan ran too fast.
Otherwise, he would have sent a team of soldiers to outflank him from the water."
Suddenly, he felt that something was not quite right.
He rushed to Zhu Qiang and grabbed his arm, "Commander Zhu, where are the soldiers on your ship?
Why don't you have any soldiers on your ship?"
Navy commander Zhu Qiang's smile immediately froze on his face, and cold sweat rolled on his forehead, "No, there are no soldiers.
Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou were ordered to stay behind to train troops, and there was a lack of instructors under their command.
Governor Zhu could not find suitable personnel at the moment.
He gave it to him and took out the soldiers on the ship.
I thought that since there were no imperial naval forces on the canal, the soldiers on the ship might not be of use, but I didn’t expect that I encountered an ambush here
