Xie Linlang is not afraid, only calm words, so that the war envoy is a little uncertain, is this lord of Xiangcheng bluffing or really has a hole card
He went back and reported the words word for word. Chang Qiyu, who had decided to preside over the naval battle in person, hesitated.
The report said that Xie Linlang was not a big talker, and she should still have preparations, such as other weapons modified with kerosene.
But tonight, none of their boats were sailing, and even if kerosene came up, they prepared enough fine sand to put out the fire.
In addition, there are no stars and no moon tonight, in such a dark environment, even if Xie Linlang's crossbow has good accuracy, it is difficult to aim.
The most important thing is that they have so many ships and the army is overwhelming, and Xie Linlang can't cope with the number of people. Even if she has enough kerosene, she will not be able to use it.
He has considered all aspects, and it can be said that he has never been so cautious!
Seeing this, the old man beside him suddenly said.
"His Royal Highness, should we let General Gu come in the sea battle tonight?" Anyway, when they launched a general attack, they could crush the enemy in terms of numbers and momentum, so the old man believed that this was not a battle that required tactics. Everyone is the same.
Chang Qiyu shook his head.
"No, Xie Linlang is difficult to deal with. This king must come to the battlefield and be ready to dispatch at any time."
He would be in such a hurry, not only because the weather was good tonight, but also because Swamp Country had already broken through.
According to the agreement, he must lead the navy army to join the marsh army within ten days, and then join forces to attack the capital, destroy Daqin, and then divide up the Central Plains!
This layout has been deployed for seven years from his grandfather all the way to his father.
Four years ago, they joined forces with Numaku and secretly formed an alliance with Numaku. During these four years, they infiltrated while imagining various situations and various ways to deal with them...
Now, it seems that the most critical step has been reached!
If he can break through Xie Linlang's defense and go all the way north, Daqin's national fortune will come to an end.
If he can't attack, or is delayed by Xie Linlang for four or five days, then this great opportunity will be gone.
Because after Da Qin broke through the swamp country, he must have realized that he was deploying troops to save himself. He has more chips than Da Qin, but his navy is faster and can seize the opportunity!
Once they miss this opportunity, they can only withdraw their troops, because they will not be able to get better if they continue to fight, so they can only stop the loss in time.
But is it possible? His father secretly added 50,000 navy troops to him. Now he has 700 boats and 200,000 navy troops all in line. Who else can stop him
Thinking of this, Chang Qiyu's eyes gradually became firmer. Even if Xie Linlang still has a weapon, he can still win by numbers when there are only 20,000 people in the Red River Valley.
But a missed opportunity is a missed opportunity, so tonight, no matter what, he will break through!
at any cost!
In the sound of war horns full of deterrence, more than 700 warships scattered and approached the Red River Valley!
The so-called tactics are also very simple. With so many ships, the opponent will definitely not be able to stop them.
As long as a few ships pass by, they will immediately circle to the rear of the Red River Valley, disrupting Xie Linlang's camp.
When they were in chaos, more ships passed, and more people went to the Red River Valley to capture the water barrier.
Then there is no need to delay the rest of the boats, and go straight through the defense to the Wanjiang Gorge to open the way, and the people behind will naturally catch up after they hit the Red River Valley.
Under such a direct and clear tactical layout, the siege ships are still at the forefront!
On its side are frigates, and on the side are heavy and light warships.
And the light warships are the main force for them to break through the defense while taking advantage of the night! With the night, it will definitely make the enemy hard to guard!
The heavy army threatened to come, and it was obviously cold from the sea breeze, but the defenders on the water barrier were still sweating.
The secret weapon given to them by the Lord of the City, although they have tested it in the Red River Valley, but it is not very powerful.
Although the Thunderbolt car improved on the basis of the catapult has a longer range, its accuracy is poor.
What is the intention of the Lord of the City? Can they really stop the 200,000 people on the other side with a mere 20,000 people
Every gust of wind in the air makes one nervous.
There were more than 2,000 people prepared on the fortress, but at this time it was so quiet that even the sound of torches bursting on the walls could be heard clearly.
At the same time, the first group of ships that were about to approach the Red River Valley were also very nervous. At this time, they were only 300 meters away from the Red River Valley!
Three hundred meters is already a very short distance for those light warships.
At this time, Chang Qiyu suddenly ordered, "Go on, let the siege ships go first, and prepare to attack the city! In addition, let the light ships prepare, and when the enemy starts to attack the siege ships, the whole ship accelerates at the fastest speed. Rush through the Red River Valley!"
"Yes!"
With his order, the war horn sounded, and all the ships took their places and acted according to the order!
Just as the enemy's war horn sounded, a bunch of blue fireworks rose into the sky!
Xie Linlang stood up suddenly, wearing a silver mask, she raised her left hand high.
"The first line ignites the bombs, and the second line pulls the ropes to prepare!"
As soon as her voice came out, everyone behind her moved! I saw that every six of them controlled a Thunderbolt car, and one of them quickly ignited a round Thunderbolt that weighed two pounds and placed it in the shrapnel.
In the next second, Xie Linlang said, "Launch!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just listen to a series of explosions! Everyone on the water looked up!
I saw a starless and moonless night sky, and a series of fireballs were thrown from the water barrier, just like a stream of fire in the night sky, mysterious and gorgeous!
But soon, those stray fires fell fiercely in the direction of the ship!
In an instant, there were explosions and screams!
All the thunderbolts that hit the ship exploded like fireworks, leaving behind a brilliant flame, accompanied by the pungent smell of sulfur, and the eye-catching lime powder!
If the thunderbolt fell into the water and exploded, the sulphur would ignite when it met the water, and would jump out of the water and attach to the hull, leaving behind a little bit of fire.
And this is just the beginning...
Xie Linlang used a three-stage style of play, her water barrier was not wide enough, and at most fifty Thunderbolts could be placed in a row.
This is because she made the craftsmen use a lot of iron and bronze, and the improved size, if it was the original Thunderbolt car in history, it would be bigger than the trebuchet, and it would not fit.
She arranged one hundred and fifty Thunderbolts in three columns by mistake.
When the first column hits, the second column fires, and when the second column hits, the third column catches up.
Then there are two more columns for the reserve, who are specially responsible for delivering thunderbolts before getting started!
The structure of this explosive thunderbolt is very simple, similar to fireworks and firecrackers. Xie Linlang's only change is to add a little cottonseed husk and sulphur lime inside.
This kind of thunderbolt is easier to make than fireworks, so Xie Linlang prepared a lot.
She usually uses this to let everyone practice their hands, and this is the one she takes out first.
In this way, even if someone is unfamiliar with cooperation and accidentally blows a thunderbolt on the water barrier, its lethality is very limited, but it is enough to bluff people when it explodes.
But no matter how limited the lethality is, once it hits, people two or three meters around will lose their combat effectiveness.
Moreover, it bursts too loudly, which will cause psychological fear to the enemy!
