Chapter 242: Dark night

Xie Linlang was not afraid, only calm words made the warlord a little confused. Is the lord of Xiangcheng a bluff or really has a hole card?
He went back and answered these words verbatim. Chang Qiyu, who had decided to host the naval battle himself, hesitated.
The wire report said that Xie Linlang is not a person who can speak big words, she should be prepared, such as other weapons modified with kerosene.
But tonight, none of their ships have Yang Fan, and even if there is fire oil pounced on them, they have prepared enough fine sand to put out the fire.
In addition, there is no star or moon tonight, and in such a dark environment, even if Xie Linlang's bed crossbow is accurate, 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 handle it in terms of numbers. Even if she has enough kerosene, it can't be used.
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, let General Gu come for the naval battle tonight?" Anyway, they launched a general offensive. They could crush the enemy in terms of numbers and momentum, so the old man believed that this is not a battle that requires tactics. Everyone is the same.
Chang Qi Yu shook his head.
"No, Xie Linlang is difficult to deal with. This king must go to the battlefield in person and be ready to dispatch at any time."
He would be so anxious, in addition to the good weather tonight, there is also that the marsh country has broken through.
According to the agreement, he must lead the navy and marsh forces to join forces within ten days, and then join forces to attack the capital, destroy Daqin, and then carve up the Central Plains!
This layout has been deployed for seven years from his grandfather to his father.
Four years ago, they joined forces with the Numa country and formed a secret alliance with the Numa country. During the past four years, they infiltrated, while envisioning various situations and various coping methods...
Right 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, Da Qin's national fortune will come to an end.
If he can't attack, or is dragged by Xie Linlang for four or five days, then this great opportunity is gone.
Because Da Qin must have reacted to his rescue after breaking through the Marsh Nation. He has more bargaining chips than Da Qin, but his navy is faster and can seize the opportunity!
Once this opportunity is missed, they can only retreat, because they will not be pleased if the fight continues, so they can only stop the loss in time.
But is it possible? The emperor father secretly added 50,000 navy to him, and now he has 700 boats and 200,000 navy forces are all in the formation. Who else can stop him?
Thinking about it this way, Chang Qiyu's eyes gradually strengthened. Even if Xie Linlang still has a weapon, he can still win by number of people in the Red River Valley with only 20,000 people.
But if the opportunity is missed, it is missed, so tonight, in any case, he will break through!
At any cost!
Amidst 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 can't stop them.
As long as there are a few boats passing by, they will immediately circle to the rear of the Red River Valley and disrupt 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 the remaining boats don't have to be delayed, go straight through the defense to clear the way at Wanjiang Gorge, and the people behind will naturally follow after they hit the Red River Valley.
With such a straightforward tactical layout, the siege ship is still at the forefront!
Beside it, there are frigates, and beside it are heavy warships and light warships.
And light warships are their main force to break through defense in the dark! With the darkness, the enemy will definitely be invincible!
The heavy army came in threateningly, and it was obviously blown by the sea breeze, but the defenders on the water barrier still broke out in a cold sweat.
The secret weapon the Lord Lord gave them, although they had tried it in the Red River Valley, it was not very powerful.
Although the Thunderbolt modified on the basis of the trebuchet has a longer range, its accuracy is poor.
What is the intention of Lord Santo? Can they really stop the mighty 200,000 of the other side with only 20,000 people?
Every wind in the air makes people nervous.
There were obviously more than two thousand people on the fortress, but at this time, it was so quiet that even the sound of torches on the walls could be heard clearly.
At the same time, the first batch 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 short distance for those light warships.
At this time, Chang Qiyu suddenly ordered, "The order goes on, let the siege ship go ahead and prepare for the siege! In addition, let the light ship prepare and wait for the enemy to launch an attack from the siege ship, and the whole ship accelerates at the fastest speed. Rush through the Red River Valley!"
"Yes!"
With his order, the battle horn blew, all the ships were in their positions, and acted upon the orders!
As soon as the enemy's battle horn sounded, a bunch of blue fireworks rose into the sky!
Xie Linlang stood up suddenly, wearing a silver mask, raised her left hand.
"The first line is ignited, and the second line is ready to draw the rope!"
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 weighing two catties and placed it in the shrapnel.
In the next second, I listened to Xie Linlang, "Launch!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just listen to a series of explosions! Everyone on the water looked up!
I saw a series of fireballs thrown from the water barrier in the night sky without stars and moon, just like flowing fire in the night sky, mysterious and gorgeous!
But soon, those fires fell sharply in the direction of the ship!
In an instant, the explosion sounded everywhere, and there was a scream!
All the thunderbolts smashed on the ship exploded like fireworks, leaving a brilliant fire, accompanied by a pungent sulfur smell, and charming eyes of lime powder!
If a thunderbolt falls into the water and explodes, the sulfur will burn when it meets the water, and will jump out of the water and attach to the hull of the ship, leaving behind dots of fire.
And this is just the beginning...
Xie Linlang uses a three-stage style of play. Her water barrier is not wide enough, and one row can hold up to fifty Thunderbolt cars.
This is the size after she let the craftsmen use a lot of iron and bronze. If it were the original Thunderbolt car in history, it would be bigger and more overwhelming than the trebuchet.
She arranged one hundred and fifty Thunderbolt cars in three rows.
When the first column hits, the second column fires, and when the second column hits, the third column keeps up.
Then there are two more rows of reserve players, who are specifically responsible for delivering thunderbolts before getting started!
The structure of this explosive blast bomb is very simple, just like fireworks. The only change Xie Linlang has made is to add a little cottonseed shell and sulfur lime to it. The shell is made of a hard shell on multiple layers of paper and grease.
This kind of blitz 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 what she took out first.
In this way, even if someone is unfamiliar with cooperation and accidentally blows the blast on the water barrier, its lethality is very limited, but it is enough to bluff when it blows up.
But no matter how limited the lethality is, once it hits, people around two or three meters will lose combat effectiveness.
Moreover, it exploded with great movement, which would cause psychological fear to the enemy!
