Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 1049 The Great River Water War

Jiang Fenghua was persuaded by Yang Shida and he escaped.

He abandoned his country and his people and went south to hunt.

All this was done secretly, and Yang Shida stabilized the situation in the city, allowing Jiang Fenghua and his wife Bai Lianhua to escape.

The people who protected them were all martial arts masters. They were lightly dressed and running for their lives, and they easily escaped from the encirclement.

Facts have proved that although martial arts masters cannot defeat the army, they can still run away if they want to.

The Han army's mountain brigade and marine brigade totaled only 40,000 people, and they could not fully control the situation, so Jiang Fenghua disappeared completely that night.

However, this did not change the Han army's offensive. According to the plan, an army of 300,000 troops had been prepared beside the Jingzhou River, ready to attack at any time.

The naval fleet moved west along the Yangtze River, making preparations to completely block the enemy's naval fleet.

Above the river, warships from both sides gathered, covering the river. The rocket launchers were not as effective as the naval guns at this time.

After five years of development, all the main battleships of the Navy have been transformed into ironclad ships. Each battleship has a two-inch gun.

There are only two kinds of shells used in these artillery guns, one is single-point bullet and the other is shotgun.

At the same time, the bed crossbow and racket pole that a battleship should have are also available.

"The naval gun is loaded in one shot."

"put!"

Before the fleets of both sides came into contact, the Taiping Taoist fire attack ships had already rushed down the river towards the Han army.

The Han navy acted decisively and directly bombarded the fireships.

"Bang bang bang!"

When a single-headed bomb falls in the water, it can splash water ten feet high, but if it hits these fire ships, it can be broken into pieces in an instant.

Its power is many times more powerful than the bed crossbow.

This is when the remaining fireships broke through the fire network formed by the naval guns, and the bed crossbows began to show their power.

The Han army's bed crossbow has been modified again and can fire twelve crossbow arrows at once to carry out a saturation strike on an area.

"put!"

"Shhhhhh!"

The sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the air brought with it a small roar, quickly crossing the sky and falling into the target of the shooting.

"puff......"

"what!"

With so many crossbow arrows, some of them can hit the fire ship.

The Taiping Taoist sailors above were directly penetrated by sharp arrows and died wailing.

"Puff thump thump!"

Many sailors who saw that the situation was not good had already abandoned their boats and jumped into the river at this distance.

Logically speaking, these fire ships used to ram warships can only ignite the collision when they are close to the enemy ships.

However, the pressure brought by the Han army's shelling and crossbow attacks was too great, and many people lit fires in advance, abandoned their boats and jumped into the water to escape.

However, there are also those who are bold and careful, who just shout out the overwhelming rain of arrows and artillery fire, and come to the prescribed distance to light fire.

For this type, the crossbow operators of the Han Navy were basically in advance, and the people sank to the bottom of the river together with the ship.

"Gunshot, release!"

At the same time, the nearest warship had switched to shotgun shells and fired at ships with people on them.

At this moment, these people were like honeycombs, with blood gushing out and they fell limply.

"boom!"

The firepower of the Han army was still not intensive enough, and eventually a fire ship hit the battleship, making a loud crunching noise.

"bingo!"

Naturally, enemies from further distances could see clearly, and they couldn't help but cheer.

However, their joy lasted only a moment, and the fireships completely fell apart.

Seeing this, the captain of the battleship couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately the ships have been refitted."

The battleships in the first row of the Han army are the absolute main battleships. Not to mention their thickness, the front ones are also made of iron sheets and refractory materials, so they are not afraid of fire ships.

Now, hold on.

"Continue the attack!"

After this collision, the officers and soldiers of the Han Navy were full of confidence. Then in the surprised eyes of the Taiping Dao Navy, these warships could continue to move forward even if the bows were on fire.

"how is this possible?"

The navy of Taiping Dao Kingdom didn't know what was going on and could only sigh.

The Han navy continued to swim upstream, and soon reached a suitable distance for firing.

"Single-head bomb, release!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, thousands of guns were fired, and the river was covered in gunpowder smoke. Then the Han army's warships rushed through the gunpowder smoke and continued to attack the Taiping Tao Kingdom.

The artillery shells pierced the sky and hit heavily on the river and ships, causing considerable casualties to the Taiping Dao Kingdom's navy in an instant.

"I thought I already knew the Han army very well, but I didn't expect that the Han army is now more powerful than before."

Since this naval force was trusted by Jiang Fenghua to be responsible for the defense line of the river, it was naturally because he served as the navy of the Eastern Expedition Army that Jiang Fenghua was responsible for during the founding war of the Taiping Dao Kingdom.

At that time, he had seen how powerful the Han navy was.

Over the years, he used what he saw and felt back then on the navy.

It can be said that the current navy is many times more powerful than the navy at the founding of the country.

Even at the beginning of the war, he firmly believed that his naval forces could severely damage the Han army.

But the result was completely beyond his expectation.

"How did the Han army use this kind of weapon on all warships?"

The navy general murmured to himself, when the Han army fought against Daqian five years ago, the navy did not have so many such weapons!

At this moment, boundless fear arose in his heart.

The Han army was developing so fast that he couldn't understand it and couldn't catch up, just like people from two eras.

"attack!"

He continued to grit his teeth and issued orders to fight the Han army to the end.

Moreover, water battles are not just a battle between ships on the water, but also a battle under the water.

A group of water ghost troops had quietly sneaked into the water and came down the river to the Han army's navy.

"Bang bang bang!"

With the hammering of the chisel, the paint on the ship's surface was knocked off, revealing the steel material inside.

"what is this?"

"Ironclad ship?"

However, before they could react, the Han soldiers on the battleship discovered them.

"There's another water ghost under the water!"

"Launch deep water torpedoes!"

Nowadays, the main battleships of the Han army will naturally be equipped with three to five torpedoes to target the enemy's water ghosts.

So in the surprised eyes of the water ghosts from the Taiping Tao Kingdom, a special stick fell from the boat.

"what is this?"

Accompanied by the gurgling white smoke, the water ghosts didn't wait for them to react.

"boom!"

The mines exploded in the river, and huge shock waves continued to superimpose, slamming hard on the water ghosts and ships.

"Crench!"

The ship was obviously unstable, but the place where the explosion occurred was even more miserable.

I saw these water ghosts floating one by one with bleeding from their orifices, and a large number of fish did the same.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, even though this is the third time I've seen it, its power is still fresh in my memory."

The captain who dropped the depth charges was amazed when he saw this, lamenting the passage of time, and at the same time marveling at the increasing power of this weapon.

Back then, this torpedo could not affect the ship.

Now it feels like the ship is going to be torn apart with each shot, which is really scary.
