Seven or eight sloops have already raised their sails and left the shore, preparing to intercept the ice ships from Jinxia City.
Bonfires and hot oil were also lit near the camp. As long as the opponent dared to continue approaching, they would be greeted by an overwhelming volley of rockets.
As for those small boats, no one paid attention to them.
Everyone knew that even if the boat was filled with grease, it would pose a very low threat to the army. The sides of the boat were made of wood that had been soaked in water for a long time, so they could not be easily ignited. This amount of effort was enough for the boatman to push the boat away with a pole. Even if one or two ships do catch fire, other ships can quickly distance themselves before being affected.
Another point is that the speed of these small boats is too fast. The intercepting sailboat has just left the shore, and they have already inserted themselves into the fleet on the shore.
"Bring the pole over here!"
"Watch for fire!"
The boatmen reminded each other, and the shore seemed lively for a while.
But the expected flames did not appear.
The small boat was still trying to move forward gruntingly. Even though it was stuck on the side of the ship by the big ship, the foam surging behind it did not subside.
"What on earth is this thing for?"
"It seems like an ordinary wooden shuttle"
"Ordinary wooden shuttles won't move on their own. Why don't you pick one up and take a look."
At this time, the extent of the foam's churning became smaller and smaller.
Clockwork power has come to an end.
Some soldiers actually brought a net and planned to fish it out to see what happened. At this moment, the propeller stopped rotating. The chain trigger was triggered, and a cluster of high-heat sparks quietly appeared, igniting all the charges inside the hull.
In an instant, there was a series of violent explosions on the river bank. Balls of flames rose into the sky with wave columns. The wild air currents stirred up layers of shock waves on the water, and at the same time tore the surrounding ships to pieces!
For a moment, everyone noticed the strange changes happening on the shore of the camp.
Not only the main force of the Chinese army, but also the chasing cavalry team became a little panicked.
Could it be that this alchemist pretending to be Qian was just a cover, and the enemy’s real purpose was to invade the east and attack the west? The food and baggage in the camp are all stored along the river. If the river bank is not protected, the situation in the rear will be precarious.
Some people have subconsciously slowed down their pursuit.
Qianyan, who was three miles away, used the ice platform to climb up a big tree and placed the electromagnetic gun firmly among the branches of the tree crown. She is considered to be one of the first people in Jinxia City to master the method of activating the streamer. Her progress is only slightly slower than that of Mo Yun and Li. She has lived for hundreds of years. She thought that the days to come will be spent in dullness and loneliness. Unexpectedly, Jin Xia Cheng made her enthusiastic about learning new things again.
As long as there is something he has never seen before, Qian Yan will study it one by one, regardless of whether it is useful or not.
After all, what she lacks most is time.
Through the first-generation sight that was transformed from a lookout, Qianyan saw Gan Shi, who was galloping on horseback, and the alchemist who was chasing behind her. She pushed the projectile into the gun chamber, held her breath and concentrated, and set the crosshair closest to Hagoromo. On the body of the alchemist.
According to Xia Fan, compared with the new gun's killing range of more than five miles, its shooting accuracy is a problem that cannot be solved for the time being. Each barrel can only ensure that the first ten shots are accurate enough, and then it will get lower and lower. Of course, the first ten shots also have the problem of gradual decline. In addition, each time the barrel is replaced, it takes two to three test shots to adjust the scope. Therefore, the actual recommended combat distance is something like one mile, and Unless otherwise necessary, it is best to aim and shoot directly with the naked eye.
Qian Yan can naturally tell that Xia Fan is worried about the loss of the barrel. Once equipped with a scope, everyone will want to shoot as far as possible. Test firing and debugging are inevitable processes, which is equivalent to further shortening the barrel. life span. On the other hand, if you only use the machine sight, you will barely need to test the accuracy within one mile until the barrel is scrapped, which is considered to be a method of maximizing the use of the weapon.
But Qian Yan didn't take it seriously.
Since the characteristics of this weapon are its amazing range and power, it should be used to its limit. As for whether it will cause headaches to the Machinery Bureau, that is not a question she should consider.
The moment the alchemist took out the talisman, Qian Yan pulled the trigger.
The gun body suddenly shook.
Only a sharp roar was heard, and the head of the horse chasing at the front suddenly exploded, followed by the warlock on the horse. His chest was swept by the rolling projectiles, and a large ball of red mixture suddenly spurted out from his back!
Others were horrified!
What kind of magic is this
From their perspective, it was as if the colleague suddenly exploded from the inside, and the hole opened in the back was the size of half a basin. This kind of injury, not to mention the Dui magician, even the magic spells of the gods were damaged. Can't be saved!
However, the person being pursued clearly didn't even turn around. How did he perform the spell on the people behind him
At this time, the same situation happened to the second person
The explosion occurred at the waist. The user lost half of his body in an instant and fell off the horse. The organs in his stomach flowed all over the floor.
There was no warning, the spell type could not be distinguished, and there was no way to deal with it. The horror quickly turned into fear. Almost without anyone reminding them, everyone had already distanced themselves from Qian and spread further apart from each other.
But in the triple-magnified scope, these movements were almost as static. As long as they were still following Qian Yan, Qian Yan didn't need to spend much energy to adjust the direction.
She wrapped the barrel of the gun with ice and fired continuously. The enemies fell to the ground one after another, or even killed their mounts. Until now, the enemies had not noticed her hiding in the canopy.
When the eighth person fell, Qian's back had become a god-like presence in the pursuers' hearts. Finally, someone was overwhelmed by fear and fled backwards with a pale face. This move was quickly passed on to others, and everyone turned their horses around and fled, hoping to get as far away from Qian as possible. No matter how determined the alchemist is, he will feel sincerely frightened when faced with this irresistible death spell.
Seeing the mixed teams fleeing in all directions, the generals of the heavy cavalry troops also murmured in their hearts.
The task they received was to assist the alchemists in capturing the Jinxia Qi-sensing person. Now that the alchemists have withdrawn, do they still need to swarm forward and continue to surround the opponent? What if this person is really a decoy and is proficient in escape techniques, but instead leads them into a trap? The general looked back at the billowing black smoke rising from the camp behind him, and finally gave the order to stop the pursuit and return to the reinforcement camp.
In fact, even if they continued to pursue, it would be too late to complete the blockade before Gan boarded the ship.
The moment they were caught, the elves hiding in the jungle on the shore immediately withdrew to the boat and evacuated at full speed towards Jinxia. With the triple blessing of the celestial device, green shuttle tentacles and downstream sailing, any sailing paddle boat can only look forward to it in front of these ice speedboats.
At the same time, the news of the failure of the meeting with the Privy Council Army quickly spread throughout Shenzhou via radio waves.
