    ?

    On the surface of the river, there are vast blue waves.

    Tang Jun's fleet is sailing fast.  The entire fleet of the Tang army consisted of more than fifty warships, and even some small boats behind them. Countless warships straddled the river, blocking the way out on the river. The lineup was extremely powerful.

    On the flagship.

    Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche and Xu Jingzong stood together.

    Now the three of them have looks of anticipation on their faces. According to Xu Jingzong's plan, as long as they get closer to Xia Guo's warships, the small boats on the Tang Dynasty's warships will launch into the water and charge forward with gunpowder.  Once it gets close to the Xia Guo warship, it will be detonated. At that time, the soldiers operating the boat will dive, and Xia Guo's warship will definitely be blown up, causing water leakage.

    In the eyes of the three, this is a sure-win situation.

    This battle must be won.

    Xu Jingzong looked very relaxed, chatting with two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche.  Although Xu Jingzong's appearance looks quite ugly, but Xu Jingzong is very good at talking, his speech and behavior are also very decent, especially good at matching his preferences, so in a short period of time, he gained the trust of Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers.

    Brother Xue Wanjun obeyed his suggestion.

    Xu Jingzong said: "Xue Shuai, as long as we defeat Du Qi in this battle, we can go northward along the canal, drive straight in, and go straight to Chang'an. This battle has won, and the layout of Xia Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty will also be  Complete failure. We, Datang, can turn the situation around."

    Xue Wanjun said: "What Junshi Xu said is true, if this plan can be completed, then it will be done."

    He agreed with Xu Jingzong's plan.

    This is an excellent opportunity to make a lasting contribution. Whether you can become a Marquis in this battle depends on this battle.

    Xu Jingzong continued: "The distance to Xia Guo's warship is getting closer and closer, and we are about to start a war with Xia Guo. I, Tang Dynasty, have been waiting for this battle for a long time, and today, I can be ashamed. General Xue, you can let  All the small boats on the ship were lowered, and after the distance was shortened, they gave the order to attack."

    Xue Wanjun made arrangements immediately.

    The small boats were lowered one by one.

    Xu Jingzong looked forward. At this moment, Xu Jingzong had expectations in his eyes, looking forward to winning this battle.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

    Just at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the water in front of him. The moment Xu Jingzong heard it, he raised his head and looked forward with wide eyes.  With the long distance, he could vaguely see the smog rising from the river in front of him.

    The roar continued to sound.

    The cannons rumbled.

    Xu Jingzong suddenly understood, but he sneered and said: "If we want to bombard our warship on the river, it is not easy to aim. If we can hit it easily, then it is not on the river."

    Xu Jingzong seemed very confident.

    Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were a little panicked at first, after all they were worried about being bombarded.  However, after hearing Xu Jingzong's words, he nodded in agreement, approving Xu Jingzong's analysis.  They are on the river, how could they be hit so easily, this is unlikely to happen, so Xue Wanjun never ordered to be on guard.

    Tang Jun's warships are still advancing.

    The cannonballs in the air have already crossed the sky and began to fall from the sky.

    "Boom!!!"

    The first shell fell and landed on the warship.

    The shell exploded.

    In an instant, the deck and side of the warship were blown apart, and even under the explosion of the artillery shells, many soldiers on the warship were killed immediately, causing countless casualties.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

    Successive explosions sounded continuously.

    The shells exploded one after another, without exception, hitting Tang Jun's warships.  Originally, the warships of the Tang army on the river were approaching aggressively, but under the explosion of successive shells, the warships of the Tang army on the entire river were completely messed up like ants on a hot pot.

    A warship was damaged.

    Soldiers were killed on the spot one by one.

    Xu Jingzong looked around, his confident expression had disappeared, and the smile on his face could no longer be seen.  He looked back at the warship he was on. The mast of the warship had been completely blown up, and even a hole was blown out in the back cabin of the warship, causing many soldiers to be injured.

    At this moment, Xu Jingzong was dumbfounded.

    what happened?

    This situation is different from what he expected!

    According to his expectation, the shells should keep falling into the water.  Even if a warship is occasionally hit by a shell, it is harmless and cannot affect the overall situation.  The current battle situation is that their warships are constantly being hit, resulting in countless casualties.  Even some warships had gunpowderThe hits caused the warships to explode one after another, making the situation even more miserable.

    Xue Wanjun said: "Military division, what should we do?"

    At this moment, Xue Wanjun was extremely panicked.  Because everything that is happening right now is completely different from what I expected, as if it is completely out of control.

    Xue Wanche said: "Military division, the situation is not good!"

    "Here we come, here we go again."

    Xue Wanche looked forward, and heard the rumbling sound of cannon fire again.  After the first wave of bombing was over, the second wave of bombing had sounded again, and another wave of shells had already flown.

    Xue Wanche was very panicked.

    Xu Jingzong's body trembled a little, his eyes showed a little panic, he said: "Xue Shuai, the situation is not good, Xia Guo's artillery fire is too precise. In the wave of bombing just now, at least ten of our warships were damaged, and even more  Countless small boats have been affected. Pass down the order, move forward at full speed, and quickly close the distance. Only in this way can there be a chance. Rush, rush over."

    At this moment, Xu Jingzong only thought of this countermeasure.  If you don't go forward with all your strength right now, but still hurry on your way slowly, then it is very likely that all the warships will be blown up in the end.

    This is the result that no one wants to see.

    When Xue Wanjun heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and quickly shouted orders.  With the implementation of the order, all the warships that can still move forward are constantly attacking and speeding up.

    It's just the second wave of bombing, which has already fallen.

    Boom!  boom!  boom!  !

    Successive explosions sounded again.

    After the bombardment this time, one after another warship was hit by shells again, so that the Tang army lost another batch of warships and suffered countless damages.

    Tang Jun's warships were still rushing forward, but the artillery shells continued to bombard, and Tang Jun's warships were continuously hit.  When the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than a hundred steps, the Tang army had less than twenty warships. Even though there were still some warships sailing, they were still burning and damaged.

    The overall combat effectiveness of the Tang army is not as good as before.

    Xu Jingzong's eyes were sharp, and his face was even more unwilling to admit defeat. He shouted: "Xue Shuai, order to advance at full speed. Charge, charge over. We have no other choice but to charge forward."

    Even now, Tang Jun is already in trouble.

    But Xu Jingzong was not reconciled.

    Just evacuate like this, and he will be the defeated general after returning. There is no possibility of recovery, and it is impossible to have such an opportunity again.

    Xue Wanjun also knew that this battle can only be won but not defeated, so after hearing Xu Jingzong's words, he also shouted and kept ordering to attack.  The remaining 20 warships are advancing rapidly, intending to get close to Du Qi's warship.

    Just at the moment, due to the continuous bombardment, the accompanying small boats were blown up, and even the small boats were affected and could not accompany.  At the same time, because the warship was avoiding the shells, it could not continue to put down the boat, so it could only continue to rush forward under the artillery fire, and could not proceed according to the previous plan.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
