Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 434: You finally showed up, didn’t you?
"What kind of weapon is that?"

Wu Meng's face changed drastically.

It is hard to imagine that the soldiers were beaten into pieces and fell off the deck into the sea before they had time to use various boarding equipment.

Equipped with this weapon, the Tang Dynasty fleet has become invincible.

"General, this must be the new weapon of the Tang Dynasty, the fire gun!"

The deputy general standing next to Wu Meng was quite insightful and said, "I heard from some fishermen that the Tang Dynasty once displayed it in Chang'an when the new emperor ascended the throne."

"Not only is its power extremely amazing, but its range is far beyond that of ordinary crossbows. It is the most powerful weapon on the battlefield."

"Firegun?"

Wu Meng thought for a moment, "Those muskets that cost one thousand taels of silver?"

"Exactly."

"I, Luzon, also bought some."

"But General, those muskets were handed over to the Royal Guards by the King. The other armies do not have such weapons."

Wu Meng fell silent.

This is uncomfortable.

Obviously, Luzon also possessed such powerful weapons, but the king was only concerned about his own safety and handed the muskets to the Royal Guards!

If it were to be adopted by the entire army...

"But don't worry, General. This thing has a fatal flaw, which is that the speed of loading bullets into the musket is extremely slow."

The deputy continued, "Even if the new troops trained by the Tang Dynasty are equipped with these muskets, their reloading speed is not much faster."

"As long as our troops can successfully board the ship, the enemy will lose all their advantages. At close range, the muskets in their hands are no different from fire sticks!"

Wu Meng smiled and nodded, "You are right, but our ships are not as majestic as theirs, so it is difficult to approach and climb up smoothly on the sea."

"But once they climb up, their weapon advantage will be gone. With our 3,800-man numerical advantage, we will be able to take them all down!"

"Pass the message, the weapons used by the Tang Dynasty fleet can only be used for long-range attacks. Once they board the tower ship, they will lose their ability to resist!"

"Whoever gets on board the ship first will not only be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, but I will also personally present him with a musket and promote him three ranks!"

The speedboats, which had retreated quickly because of the deterrent power of the muskets, became completely excited after seeing Wu Meng's order.

Not only will you get a reward of 1,000 taels, but you can also be promoted three levels in a row.

The most important thing is that the muskets used by the enemy are long-range attack weapons. Once they get closer, the enemy's weapons will lose their deterrent effect!

For a moment, there was no one on the speedboat, only a row of bare speedboats approaching the building ship.

"My goodness, these people are really not afraid of death."

Seeing a round of volleys killing two or three hundred people and scaring away more than a dozen speedboats, Su Bing had no time to be happy before he saw more speedboats approaching them from all directions.

This made Su Bin a little annoyed.

You are so shameless!
If that’s the case, then my uncle won’t hide anything!
"Get closer and hit me!"

Su Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't they hiding in the speedboat? I don't believe they won't board the ship!"

"If they show up, beat them to death!"

"Kill one and you'll get ten taels of silver. Kill ten and you'll get a thousand taels!"

"I want to see how many people they have to kill!"

Wang Chong immediately shouted and conveyed Su Bin's order.

Faced with Su Bin's order that was almost like spending all their money, the 1,500 elite soldiers were all smiling happily.

This is so comfortable too.

It wasn’t simply because of Su Bin’s reward, but more importantly, he had never seen so many living targets!

They are all elites carefully selected from various armies. We cannot say that they can defeat ten with one, but defeating three with one is not a big problem.

When they were learning how to use firearms, they were despised as worthless because the cold weapons they were good at were useless in front of firearms.

However, when they gradually mastered the use of the musket and witnessed its powerful power, they naturally fell in love with it.

It’s a pity that there is no battle for them to practice.

now.

The opportunity is coming!

Not only will there be enemies coming to your doorstep, but you can also shoot and kill them without asking, and you will get rewards!
Is that an enemy?
Those are big gold coins that can be moved!
If you hit one, you'll get ten taels of silver. If you hit ten, you'll get one thousand taels!

What are you waiting for?
If they were not on the sea, these people would probably not be able to help but rush forward, get into the speedboat hold, and hack and kill the enemies. How could they tolerate these people being so presumptuous in front of them?

Speedy ships gradually approached, and soldiers on the tower ships, warships, and fighting ships were eagerly waiting.

As the enemies on the speedboat poked their heads out of the cabin and took out climbing equipment, everyone laughed even more happily.

You finally showed up, didn't you?
"Come aboard!"

A loud shout was heard, and one by one the enemies took out their own special skills, such as grappling hooks or rope ladders, and kept throwing them at the ship, trying to use them to board the ship.

at the same time.

Wang Chong waved his hand and the flag signal was sent out.

Bang bang bang!
The bullets fired were fatal alarm bells.

The enemies who had just jumped out of the cabin and tried to climb up using rope ladders and grappling hooks instantly became wriggling living targets.

The 1,500 elite soldiers showed no appreciation for these people.

In addition to these 1,500 elite soldiers, the remaining 500 strong sailors also took out their commonly used tools at this time.

Harpoon!

Pfft!

Compared to bows and arrows, the harpoon is what they are most familiar with on the sea. Every throw will accurately hit the enemies who want to climb onto the ship!

Even though they were wearing leather armor and felt hats, they still could not withstand the sharp harpoons.

Anyone who was hit by the harpoon would scream and fall off the rope ladder hook.

Most deadly of all, these harpoons are different from muskets.

If you are hit by a bullet, if you are lucky, it will only pierce your arm, thigh or leg, and you still have a chance of survival.

But being hit by a harpoon would be terrible.

These harpoons have very long barbs on them!

No matter where it hits, it is extremely difficult to take it out!

In addition, some harpoons are not two-edged or three-edged, but are covered with many sharp blades like honeycomb briquettes. This means that the speed at which blood flows out from the area hit by the harpoon is much more terrifying than that from being hit by a bullet.

A musket can kill people quickly. By the time a person feels the threat of death, they are already close to death.

The harpoon was wailing in pain, slowly losing its vitality!
More torture.

"My Lord, these people seem to be Wu Meng's men."

Wang Chong spotted a familiar figure, but unfortunately, when he saw the other person, he was hit in the face by a harpoon and fell into the cold sea with a scream.

The blood spread quickly like ink in water.

"Wu Meng?"

Su Bin raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of anger on his face, "Is it the navy commander who asked us to pay money before?"

"Yes."

"Bastard thing!"

Su Bin's face was grim.

When they landed in Luzon, they encountered Luzon's navy.

Perhaps it was because the upper beam was not straight and the lower beams were crooked, after seeing them, these navy troops not only did not show awe of the Celestial Empire, but habitually asked for tolls.

This made Su Bin extremely unhappy. Otherwise, he would not have increased the profit by 50% on top of the original price.

now.

These bastards collected their tolls and now want to steal their goods?

"Wang Chong, I'm not familiar with fighting. You take charge."

Su Bin looked at Wang Chong seriously and said, "I don't have any other requests now. I just want to see Wu Meng kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy!"

Wang Chong immediately showed a look of delight: "My Lord, this is so easy!"

Su Bin patted Wang Chong on the shoulder and said, "Su Chen often told me that a lion will do its best to fight a rabbit. No matter how weak the opponent is, we should not underestimate him."

"Despise the enemy strategically and take the opponent seriously tactically!"

"We only have 2,000 men, 1,500 elite soldiers, but the enemy has twice as many as us. We must not act rashly!"

Wang Chong patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, my uncle. Even though I can't defeat the Turkish cavalry, can I still defeat this group of insignificant Luzon navy?"

"If I fail to capture Wu Meng alive within an hour and make him kneel before my uncle and beg for mercy, I will bring my head to you!"

"it is good!"

Su Bing said in a deep voice: "If you really capture him, then I will let you take full command of the counterattack against Luzon!"

Counterattack Luzon?

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment.

What is the idea of ​​the uncle?

"Go."

Su Bing said in a deep voice: "You can use any weapon you want. At worst, I will buy more weapons after we dock!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chong nodded heavily and immediately left with a dozen guards.

Since we want to capture Wu Meng, we can't be so busy on the defense. We naturally have to take the initiative to attack!
"Brothers, the opportunity to achieve great things is right in front of you!"

Wang Chong shouted, "Li Chuan, you will lead the two battleships immediately to help out from both sides and surround the speedboat where Wu Meng is!"

"I have only one request, capture Wu Meng alive, or bring back his body if he's dead!"

"Yes!"

Li Chuan nodded and left immediately.

Wang Chong said again: "Zhang Ming, you make arrangements. If there are large numbers of enemy speedboats approaching, use bombs to open their eyes!"

"Yes!"

The enemy had many ships and twice as many men as ours.

but.

As long as they want to get on board, they must get closer!
Fire guns can kill a large number of enemies who want to board the ship, but they cannot destroy their ships!
and so!
When these people approach, destroying their ships with bombs is undoubtedly the best solution!

Now, Su Bing has handed the matter over to him to command, so he cannot lose face for His Majesty!
Don’t treat the guards of the Eastern Palace as generals!

As Li Chuan led the two fighting ships away, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.

One after another, the clippers filled the gaps in their fleet formation at an astonishing speed. Without the defense of the fighting ships, the attack power of the sailors on the cargo ships alone was not enough to suppress them.

"Come on!"

"Get on board the cargo ship and get a reward of 1,000 taels!"

"Quick, get on board!"
