Chapter 1027 full firepower
On Poyang Lake, the sound of cannons continued.
On the wide lake, the wind was strong, and the ships of the King's Army were very skillful in mastering the wind, always gaining the upper hand, and maintaining a safe distance from the enemy fleet.
Fifty steps away.
At this distance, Li Chao's fleet was almost safe, with only sporadic arrows shooting across the opposite side, but they did not pose much threat to Li Chao and the others. Even if they were shooting rockets, on the shaking ship, and the strong wind on the lake, their arrows were not threatened.
"Continue to shoot!"
All ships strictly implemented Li Chao's tactics.
Taking advantage of the artillery, they first set aside to shell the enemy ships. Their morale was scattered and their morale collapsed, and their formation was also scattered.
Li Chao was still very cautious when he used thirty boats against more than one thousand boats. Once he was surrounded, the opponent could really kill the elephant with more ants. Li Chao did not have many marines on the boat, and he never thought about fighting the jump gang battle at the beginning.
The gunners were loading desperately in the cabin, and according to their usual training, one gun team was responsible for two guns. However, because there were only one gun on one side at a time, they were quite relaxed. If it was time to fire the two sides, the Marines would also act as gunners to help.
"Teacher, the morale of the Restoration Party is in chaos."
Suffering unprecedented fierce artillery fire, the Restoration Army was in chaos. They were not navy troops, and they had never seen such artillery tactics. Such huge artillery bombardment made the Restoration Army who were seasick on the ship even whiter.
Close-range shooting caused their merchant ships to be shot continuously, the cabin was broken, the mast was broken, the cable ship collapsed, and the ship could not control the direction after being shot, and the ship collided...
The direct lethality of the iron bomb is not very large, and it is often a hole when it hits. However, the iron bomb hits the ship, and the cracked wood thorns and wooden board fragments, etc., has amazing lethality, and one blow can damage a large area.
The most terrifying thing is that they can only be beaten from afar and cannot even fight.
It is the most terrifying to be beaten but not fight back.
If it was on land, tens of thousands of people formed a large formation, they could still believe in relying on it. However, on the lake, ships swayed and artillery fired in the sky, and the command system of the Restoration Army was in chaos at this time.
There is no command at all.
Some ships continued to rush forward, some stagnate, and some had already begun to turn around and escape.
Collision with each other, the morale of the army was disintegrated.
Li Chao sat in the cabin, looking at a report on military consumption. He didn't raise his head, "Continue shooting and keep a distance. Now it's not time to be happy. The Restoration Army still has enough strength and must continue to fight until their morale is completely disintegrated."
The artillery fire was endless, and Li Chao actually had no time to read the report.
But he really doesn't want to go to the deck.
Just committing suicide and killing, Li Chao was a little tired of it.
The Tang Dynasty had already unified the world and the world was already peaceful. This was a war that should not have happened.
The people who died outside did not have to die.
Put down the book, lean on the back of the chair, close your eyes, and listen to the sound of cannons.
One hour later.
Liu Rengui came in and reported, "Teacher, the rebels are fleeing in all directions. They have completely lost their fighting spirit and only know how to escape."
Li Chao opened his eyes, "When the time comes, the net will be closed, and the warships will rush into the enemy ship and open fire on both sides until they surrender their sails and surrender."
"Tell Pauline that he will lead another fleet and Marines to block the lake entrance, and no rebels will let them escape."
On Poyang Lake.
Thousands of ships of the Restoration Army were already running around like beasts. When they ran away, ships collided from time to time. Behind them, many of the ships hit fell behind because of their masts breaking or the ship's side breaking into water.
But the Li Chao fleet, who was like a vicious wolf, ignored these ships that had lost their combat effectiveness. He began to chase the fleet running in front from behind.
The sails are all open, and the pursuit is full.
Li Chao's fleet is a new type of soft sailboat. Compared with the rabic fleet composed of old merchant ships and fishing boats, Li Chao's fleet is faster, and Li Chao's ship does not have so many soldiers, so it is lighter and more agile.
The fleet was like an arrow off the string, or like a tiger going down the mountain, crashing directly into the fleeing fleet.
The soldiers on the Restoration Army boarded the ship were shocked. They looked at the warships next to them, and didn't even know what to do.
The two ships were only twenty or thirty steps apart, and they seemed to be able to collide at any time.
The porthole muzzle sprayed orange flames, and iron bullets roared out. The ship next to it was immediately full of holes and wailed.
Run, you can't win, and you can't beat it.
Many crazy soldiers even jumped directly into the lake.
"Slow down the sails and lower the anchor." A captain panted as if he was panting. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and decided not to run away.
"Quick, why are you still stunned?"
In battle, the sails are lowered and the anchor is equivalent to dropping weapons on the battlefield and sitting on the ground, which is surrender.
Surrender is much better than lifelessness.
"Duke Zhao will definitely not kill us, surrender."
One ship lowered its sails and got anchored, and more ships began to stop running away.
Sails descended one by one.
Boats stopped one by one.
Liu Zhenghui's ship was broken because the main mast was broken, so he had already transferred to a sailboat. It was a brig, which was not as big as a three-masted ship. However, it was lighter and faster.
On the deck, watching the fleet fleeing in a panic, his heart was bleeding.
If you lose, you will lose like this, and you will lose inexplicably.
He was dissatisfied.
At this time, he remembered Li Jing's words.
I regret not being the first. If I had followed Li Jing's words, I would have waited for the work in Jiangxia. But then I thought that Li Chao had such a naval cannon, even if he didn't come, Li Chao would go there, and he would be defeated.
"Ship Liu, those who have no backbone are surrendering." A captain reported.
Liu Zhenghui raised the Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, sure enough.
"Let's go back to Jiangxia, pack up and fight again." Liu Zhenghui no longer had time to pay attention to the surrenderers. When he arrived in Jiangxia, he asked Li Jing to lead the troops and might be able to fight.
The ship ran.
The lake mouth is right in front of it, and the lake surface is getting narrower and narrower.
Go out from here, drive into the river, and you can return to Jiangxia.
But at this moment, a warship suddenly drove out of a bend of a bend of lake and bay.
There were more than the Li Chao fleet that he had chased them and fought just now, at least sixty or seventy ships.
"It's Li Chao's ship!"
Liu Zhenghui exclaimed, and now he finally knew why Li Chao had only used twenty or thirty ships to fight him, and Li Chao left all the other ships here.
With a roar, a cannonball roared and fell not far in front of them, splashing a large splash of water.
Liu Zheng met like death.
There were pursuers behind and interceptors in front. Looking at the dozen or so boats following next to him, he knew that he could not escape.
"Master, what should I do?"
