- Just when the blazing fire ship was still more than twenty feet away from the Yang Jiajun's ship, the Yang Jiajun side suddenly sailed out thirty small boats. These small boats were thin and long, like a smaller version of a dragon boat, and could carry two to three people. It has a baffle on the upper part and is covered with iron sheets. It is not afraid of rockets. Yang Yi once personally named this kind of boat: Flying Shark.
The two or three people on the boat were half-lying in the cabin, kicking the paddles with their feet, making the boat fly through the water at an astonishing speed.
And because the boats are low and close to the water, across the blazing fire boats, Busaoluo can hardly reach these speedboats that fly by.
As soon as these small boats rushed close to the fire ships, strings of grenades flew out immediately. With the continuous sound of explosions, the fire ships were directly bombed and sank into the river, and scattered debris splashed everywhere. From a distance Looking at it, the water in the f¨£ngfo river was on fire, and the surface of the river was boiling.
Some of the scattered flames were directly extinguished by the river water, and some drifted down with the waves. However, when the ship was moving, the waves split by the bow of the ship would naturally roll to both sides, and these scattered flames would also swing to both sides with the waves. Not enough to w¨¥ixi¨¦ to the safety of the big ship.
As soon as the fire ship's fire was resolved, Le Tao did not wait for the enemy to react and ordered the fleet to sail at full speed. The two sides were already close and soon staggered together. The Yang Jiajun's big ship walked in the center of the river, with a long collision angle on the bow. ;
Bu Shaoluo's small boats can besiege them from two sides. The Yang family's army is condescending, and their weapons, rockets, and flintlocks are intertwined into a net of death. Each enemy soldier is shot over and falls into the water, screaming and howling incessantly.
Yang Jiajun's shooting seemed to be chaotic, but in fact, several people cooperated with each other, and the rockets were fired to ignite an enemy ship. The fusiliers opened fire violently on the enemy, preventing the enemy from fighting. With this kind of cooperation, the enemy ships almost hit each other one by one. The river was full of fireships, which seriously affected the maneuverability of enemy boats.
The enemy ship is small, and it is difficult to damage the Yang family's army hiding on the side of the ship with bows and arrows. If the enemy ship gets too close, throw a string of grenades from the big ship, and with a few loud noises, the enemy ship will be destroyed immediately.
Bu Shaoluo now simply does not dare to order his boat to come close to engage in a boarding battle. That would be tantamount to death, so he can only use rockets to diffuse from a distance;
The division of labor on Yang Jiajun¡¯s big ship is clear. There are specialized fire-fighting teams. These people wear sophisticated armor to prevent themselves from being injured by arrows to the greatest extent. They put out the fire immediately wherever it catches fire.
In addition to the fierce firepower on the big ship that made the soldiers on Bushaoluo's side unable to raise their heads, what was even more terrifying was the twenty or thirty-type flying shark speedboats. This kind of small boat was low, close to the water, and as fast as flying. . Like terrifying sharks crossing the river;
Once they are approached, the enemy's ships will be out of luck and will soon be blown up and sunk. These flying shark speedboats will cause great losses to Bushaoluo's side. It even exceeded the fierce firepower on the giant ship.
The astonishing speed of the flying shark boat perfectly makes up for the disadvantage of the large ship's low maneuverability, and the two work together to fight. The effect is very significant.
Bu Shaoluo couldn't help but feel desperate as he watched his own ships being set on fire or being bombed and sunk one by one. This is still fighting on the river, if it is on the sea. If the opponent's big ship can maneuver flexibly, I'm afraid it will be even worse, and I won't even be able to fight back.
He no longer knows how to fight this battle. In this life, he has experienced many wars, but the battle in front of him is far beyond his imagination. The opponent's new weapons and new tactics are emerging one after another. In a hurry, He couldn't think of any countermeasures at all.
Yang Yi never interfered with Le Tao's command from beginning to end. It was very difficult for a person who was used to leading troops to fight without saying a word during the war.
In order to resist the urge to intervene in the command, Yang Yi brought a few flintlock guns and asked the guards to help load them. He himself looked for the officers on the enemy ship to shoot, one at a time, to attack the enemy's command system.
Don¡¯t think this move seems like child¡¯s play, it is actually very effective. The enemy is at a deep disadvantage and their morale has been completely lost. Once the commander on the ship is shot and killed, the whole ship will often hesitate to move forward or even secretly withdraw from the battlefield.
One, two, three or five guards around him were counting excitedly for Yang Yi. Almost every time he fired a shot, he could kill an enemy commander. At least half of the enemy ships chose to escape after losing their commanders. A hellish and cruel battlefield.
Yang Yi¡¯s actions once again gave Le Tao a great inspiration, and he quickly issued an order: beheading.
After receiving the order, more than 20 flying shark speedboats cooperated with each other and quickly headed for Bu Shaoluo's flagship. The fusiliers on the big ship also fully cooperated with them, clearing as many obstacles as possible for them with intensive shooting.
The Yang Jiajun on the flying shark boat were trying their best to suck the milk. The more than 20 speedboats were like a group of people who smelled the smell of blood.?Sharks rushed towards Bu Shaoluo's flagship from all directions.
Bu Shaoluo soon discovered the intention of these flying shark speedboats. His face changed drastically and he shouted to his messengers: "Intercept them, intercept them quickly."
The surrounding enemy ships no longer cared about attacking the giant ships on the river. They turned their arrows and launched a fierce attack on these small boats in an attempt to rescue Bu Shaoluo.
The sky was full of arrows raining down on these small boats. Although these small boats were fast, they could not withstand such intensive attacks. In a moment, seven or eight boats were set ablaze by rockets. The soldiers on board were unable to save them, so they had to abandon the boats and enter the water. escape.
But Bu Shaoluo couldn't stop them all. This kind of wolf pack tactic can often prevent one side but not the other. In the end, several flying shark boats came closer. In order to avenge his companions, the approaching flying shark boats seemed to be free of charge. The grenade was thrown at Bu Shaoluo's flagship, and there was a huge roar, accompanied by balls of fire;
Bu Shaoluo's two- to three-hundred-year-old flagship could not withstand such a fierce bombing. The entire ship was quickly shrouded in flames, and a large hole was blasted in the stern. The river water quickly poured into the hull, causing the bow to begin to tilt. As soon as they started, the enemy troops on the boat were covered with flames. They either jumped into the river or were burned to death.
As for Bu Shaoluo, he was already surrounded by fire before he could rush to the cabin on the top floor of the south. Even though the hull had slowly sunk into the river, Yang Jiajun on the flying shark boat still couldn't forgive his hatred and kept rushing towards the cabin on the top floor. Throw a grenade and blow up all the top cabins. In this case, Bu Shaoluo has absolutely no physiology.
The soldiers of Srivijaya watched helplessly as their general was bombarded indiscriminately and no body was left intact. They had already suffered heavy losses. How could they withstand such a blow? Jiangshang immediately turned into a comprehensive rout. No one wanted to He risked his life to attack Yang Jiajun, just hoping to escape from the battlefield quickly.
Letao ordered that enemy ships that can be sunk should be sunk as much as possible, but the premise is that the speed cannot be slowed down. From this moment on, the fleet must sail towards Bolin State at full speed.
In this water battle, the Yang family's army sank more than 140 enemy ships, large and small, and annihilated the enemy at the cost of slightly damaging two ships, losing 11 flying shark boats, killing 42 people, and injuring 70 people. There were more than 1,600 people, and the rest were completely routed.
The river was filled with corpses of enemy soldiers, blood stained the surface of the river red, and there were scattered ship planks and wooden blocks everywhere. More than 20 warships filled their sails, plowing a bloody river wave, and headed towards Bolin State in a mighty way. Kill.
For hundreds of years, Srivijaya has occupied a dominant position in Southeast Asia, especially in water warfare. Although they cannot build large ships with their national strength and technology, the people live by the water, and their water properties are excellent. In water warfare, Definitely not weak;
This time they fought at their own doorstep, Srivijaya and his ministers were full of confidence. Although the invading enemy ship was large, it would be difficult to maneuver in an inland river battle. Bu Shaoluo was at least 70% sure of annihilating the incoming enemy. Even if he could not annihilate them all, he would be able to block them. Enemies are always easy.
Therefore, when he received the news that the navy was defeated and Bu Shaoluo died in battle, Pu Ying slapped the soldier who reported the news several times. He could not believe this fact.
We have two to three hundred large and small warships on our side, while the other side only has about twenty. As the saying goes, if too many ants kill an elephant, our side still has the advantage upstream. How could we lose so miserably?
But then the battleships of the Yang Family Army arrived, and it was hard to believe it or not. There was no time left for Sri Lankan monarchs and ministers to react, and the cannons exuding murderous aura were already aimed at the water gate of Bolin State.
Bolin City is a city with a circumference of dozens of miles. The surrounding terrain is flat, with a maximum altitude of 12 meters. The Mosi River runs through the city, and the city is crisscrossed by waterways. It is a famous water city and was known as the Venice of the East in later generations. Whether it is common people or kings, they all travel by boat;
The depressions in the city, which account for 15% of the land area, are greatly affected by tides. When the tide rises, the seawater pouring up along the Mosi River will flood these depressions. Because of this, people often choose to build houses on bamboo rafts. When the water rises, the houses will be taller and they don't have to worry about being submerged during high tides.
As soon as Yang Yi's fleet arrived, he immediately ordered the artillery boats to load solid ammunition and bombard the water gate in the north. Such a city wall was far less thick than that of the Song Dynasty. After more than a dozen cannons, not only the water gate was smashed to pieces, but also the city wall. It was also destroyed by six or seven feet in width.
The defenders on the city were also blasted to the point of crying and running away. This phenomenon was expected by Yang Yi. In front of the cannon, the defenders holding swords and bows had no choice but to wait for death. Who else would not run away?
The city of Beijing is much stronger and has much more troops. It was not blown away by thousands of foreign devils in an instant.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the defenders fled. Yang Yi quickly adjusted his tactics according to the current situation. He led 1,500 men and horses, abandoned the ship and went ashore, rushed into the city from the collapsed city wall, opened the way with flintlock guns in front, and fired a volley when encountering resistance. The soldiers and civilians ignored it and just continued to kill the Srivijaya Palace.The key to this battle lies in the word "quick". No matter what, none of the three brothers Pu Ying, Pu Tuo and Pu Luo can let him escape.
Yang Yi¡¯s current intention is not to fully occupy Srivijaya, but to control it through semi-colonial rule. To achieve this goal, he must kill the three brothers in one fell swoop before controlling them.
If one escapes, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Therefore, you must act quickly to catch the other party off guard!
