A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 10 Trebuchet!The giant ship shows off its evil deeds
"Let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up from his seat, looked at the Yuan army that had been divided into two halves, and gave the order to attack!

"kill!"

Sky-shaking shouts rang out from the other side of the river, countless sails fluttered, artillery roared, and the rebels launched a general attack!

Barbarian Hague had regained his composure at this time. Looking at the rolling incoming rebel ships, he did not panic.

At the beginning, the Yuan army was caught off guard and was indeed at a disadvantage for a while, but generally speaking, the hard power of the Yuan army overwhelmed the rebels by too much.

As long as they can restore their formation and rekindle their morale, the rebels will still not be their opponent.

"Send the order, shell the outer ships to block the enemy's advance, and make an all-out assault from the middle. Be sure to merge as soon as possible to eliminate the bandit army in the middle!"

"As ordered!"

The Yuan army warships on the periphery began to rotate, and the black muzzles were aimed at the speeding rebel ships. At the same time, countless Yuan army soldiers stretched their bows and strings, and above them were blazing rockets!
"Let go!" Along with the roar of the Yuan army generals, a deadly rainstorm suddenly fell in the sky!

The rebel ship in front of the Yuan army's ship suddenly flew into pieces and ignited a raging fire!Countless rebel soldiers were forced to jump into the river. Some were swallowed up by the flames before they could jump into the river, and some were hit by artillery shells and turned into a ball of flesh and blood.

Fortunately, this is a water battle. The artillery of this era is not very accurate, and the hit rate is even lower in water battles. The same is true for rockets. Although the dozen ships in front have suffered devastating blows, more Many rebel ships are still advancing fearlessly!

"If we defeat the enemy in this battle, everyone will receive a heavy reward!" They all remembered the marshal's words, and they even got a rare banquet of wine and meat before leaving.

It is time to repay the emperor for his salary!
The rebels approached the Yuan army with terrifying firepower. They hooked the side of the ship with hooks, and an even more brutal hand-to-hand combat began!

Here, generals such as Tang He and Liao Yong'an led their troops to attack the headquarters of the Central Prime Minister in Hague. Generals Zhang Desheng, Yu Tonghai, Deng Yu and other generals led their troops to attack the divided Yuan army. However, the Yuan army desperately moved closer to the center with the intention of reuniting. , on the other side, Xu Da used his inferior combat power to desperately entangle the Yuan army and prevent them from returning reinforcements.

The two sides fought a fierce battle, which lasted for nearly two hours. The entire river was filled with floating corpses and destroyed warships, and the blood almost dyed the river red!
"Hold on! Don't retreat!" Chang Yuchun was roaring. Even though he was injured in many places, he still shouted for a fierce fight.At this time, his body was already spattered with blood, even covering his head and face, but he wiped the blood from his eyes with his hand and then fought again with the knife full of gaps.Although the rebels were getting smaller and smaller, they still stood tenaciously between the two armies, forcibly using the wreckage of the ship and the last troops to isolate the Yuan army.

At the rear, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wanted to sit upright. He stood up anxiously, stood on the top of the building ship, and looked at the battlefield in the distance. If he had not been the commander sitting at the rear, he would have already driven his flagship to join them. fighting!
The rebel casualties are becoming increasingly heavy!

But at the same time, the Yuan army at this time was completely entangled with the rebel army, and it was impossible for them to escape from the war!If any party retreats at this time, the outcome will be a complete defeat!
It's now!

Zhu Yuanzhang and the generals of the rebel army had this idea in their minds at the same time.

They were not disappointed. On the other side of the river, towering sails heralded the arrival of sand ships, and the giant ships were coming like a hill!
In order to prevent the Yuan army from discovering these three giant ships, they anchored far away from the battlefield. At this time, they arrived!

Perfect timing!
Even the sound of killing could not cover up the huge sound of hundreds of oars hitting the water. For a moment, the entire audience was focused!
The high-flying "Zhu" flag marked their position. The rebels were cheering, but the Yuan army was trembling!

"Voyage...sand ship..." Barbarian Hague fell to the ground, his face pale.It turns out that they were waiting for this!

As a naval general, how could he not recognize this sand ship that Yuan Ting was proud of?
In fact, the fleet itself should have such a giant ship!However, there has been peace for too long, and there has been no war for a long time. The sand ships in the army have been transferred to participate in sea transportation a long time ago, transporting grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to the north to maintain the luxurious life of most Mongolian nobles.

So much so that the equipment of the dignified imperial navy was inferior to that of a group of traitors!
At this time, huge devices stood upright on the sand ships, each with dozens of them. They were trebuchets!

This is no ordinary trebuchet. The prepared stones are so huge that even starting the trebuchet requires dozens of people to exert force at the same time!
Under the command of Yan Ling, the sand ship's target was directly at the Yuan army fleet where Manzi Hague was located. In order to avoid accidental damage, their ships stopped behind the fierce fighting rebels.

"Get ready!" Yan Ling's eyes were serious. He held a small flag in his hand and stood at the highest point to give orders. Below, all the trebuchets were ready.

"Let go!" he roared, his eyes wide open at the losses of the rebels. At this time, he just wanted to completely destroy the enemy!

Like a rain of meteorites, the boulders carried a terrifying momentum straight towards the rear of the Yuan Dynasty fleet. Small, no, even medium-sized ships could not withstand the blow. Suddenly, dozens of small boats were turned into powder, and ten more were turned into powder. The remaining medium-sized ships were directly destroyed, and the Yuan army either fell into the river or turned into flesh. Even the tall ships of the Yuan Dynasty were hit by this blow, and they were smashed through and severely damaged!
The Yuan army is wailing!This scene, which was like a natural disaster, completely broke their defenses!Dozens of ships ahead were turning. They were scared and tried to escape!

Even the elite members of the Yuan army who had gone through hundreds of battles on the flagship were trembling with trembling hands and feet at this time.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Barbarian Hague lowered his head feebly. At this time, even if he was reluctant, he had to admit that this battle had failed and there was no way to recover.

Where there is life, there is hope!He gritted his teeth and looked back at a large ship on the distant lakeside. He knew that it was the flagship of Zhu Yuanzhang, the traitor commander.

And his flagship was behind the Yuan army, blocked by those ships. At this time, he had time to escape to the shore.

I'll come back and beat you!Barbarian Hague secretly swore in his heart.

However, God told him that you have no chance.

As if destined, a huge boulder rose into the sky and hit a unique direction——

"Zhongcheng!" A scream sounded from the flagship, and the flag on the tall ship fell heavily.

The flag falls!The coach died!
The battlefield seemed to suddenly become silent. Both sides noticed the landing of the high flag. Just four hours ago, it was flying proudly over the Caishi River, overlooking the entire river.

Tang He was the first to react. He shouted in a hoarse voice at the top of his lungs:
"Barbarian Hague is dead! Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"

The Yuan army collapsed.
