This kind of equipment is comparable to the machine guns of later generations!
Under such an attack, the soldiers of the Soochow Navy were all living targets, as well as the soldiers on the vanguard ship.
Before reaching the target ship, these people had no ability to fight back at all, and some only had bows and arrows.
The bows and arrows of the two sides were not at the same level at all. Before they could take aim, the Zhuge Liannu had already fired eighty arrows.
The dense arrows directly covered the water surface completely, and the Soochow soldiers on the water surface became living targets one by one, and they couldn't escape such intensive shooting.
In this icy river, corpses floated one after another, and then the deep red blood dyed the river red.
Even in such a situation, the Soochow Navy sailed towards the target ship one after another.It seems that there is no intention to stop.
For Cao Wei, this situation is not a good one, because they don't have many arrows prepared, and the Zhuge Liannu is very complicated, so they don't have many equipments.
Under such circumstances, it is still possible to persist for a while, but if you shoot towards the river quickly, the prepared arrows will not be enough!
Even under the situation in Heyang, all those Zhuge Liannus had no arrows.
Without the arrows, the Zhuge Liannu had no effect at all, and taking advantage of this time, the vanguard ships of the Soochow Navy immediately attacked with bows and arrows, and moved towards the target ship one by one.
Although it is still necessary to shoot with a bow and arrow, this situation is much better, unlike the Zhuge Liannu situation, the coverage is too wide!
With the quality of these Soochow soldiers and their proficiency in water, as long as they can land on the deck, there is no need to dispute the outcome of this war!
Water combat is not only a test for ships, but also for the soldiers on this ship.

Chapter 352 The Power of Weapons
Therefore, in the view of the Soochow Navy, as long as they can board the deck of the Cao Wei Navy, all this will end.
However, when these Soochow vanguard ships carried a dozen Soochow soldiers and landed towards the target ship, Cao Wei had already designed the slingshot weapon!
In addition to the Zhuge Liannu, the Cao Wei navy was also equipped with the powder barrel and the slingshot device.
One person does the ignition, and then two or three do the launching.
The Cao Wei soldiers cooperated very tacitly one by one, and in a moment, one by one wooden barrels were thrown out in perfect parabolas.
Such a situation made the soldiers of Cao Wei look forward to it very much, and after the people of the Soochow Navy saw this situation, they all didn't quite understand what such a thing was for.
This slingshot launching device was invented by Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and others. The reason why Zhuge Liang invented this is because he saw children playing with slingshots when he was in Xudu.
Compared with the catapult, the distance between this slingshot and the catapult is almost the same, but its weight is directly seven or eight times lighter than that of the catapult.
It is so light, and the projection distance is still very far. It is simply the second generation of trebuchet, an upgraded version!
Under the crazy shooting of the slingshot, the thunder barrel and the incendiary barrel were thrown out one by one.
The accuracy of this slingshot is relatively accurate, and coupled with the two barrels that can cause great trauma, it can be said that it has had a huge effect on this water.
While speaking, under the shooting of the slingshot, a barrel of thunder came smoothly to a Soochow ship.
And at the moment when the wooden barrel touched the Soochow ship, the explosives contained in the broken wooden barrel were also ignited by the front fuse.
The moment the wooden barrel was ignited, the huge impact force generated by the black powder knocked all the patches filled in it into the air.
The power of this thunder barrel is actually not great, what is more powerful is the iron piece placed in this thunder barrel.
This iron piece is the most lethal weapon, and it is precisely by relying on this destructive iron piece that the enemy can be wiped out.
After the thunder barrel exploded, the iron piece flew out in an instant, and all the Soochow soldiers around were hit by the iron piece one by one, and then they all screamed.
After being hit by the iron sheet, he was either dead or injured, and he was seriously injured!
This situation can be said to be very shocking.
Of course, this situation does not always happen.
Although the slingshot is accurate, it is not stable on the river, so it takes luck to successfully throw the barrel onto the boat.
All the barrels that were not thrown onto the ship were thrown into the water one by one.
These wooden barrels in the water have not been eroded by the river water because the wooden barrels are waterproof.
So even if these wooden barrels fall into the water, they will not cause damage.
These burning barrels floating on the sea formed a line of defense one by one, blocking the vanguard and the ship.
After the igniter ignites the fuel oil or black powder in the barrel, a sea of flames will be directly caused on the surface of the river.
When the sea of flames appeared, the vanguard ship was the first to suffer, and then the ship.
Under such circumstances, the Soochow Navy suffered heavy losses.
First of all, there is the steam ship that makes people feel a little bit incomprehensible, and secondly, the wooden barrel that people can't even imagine. All these situations can be regarded as a bitter experience for the Soochow Navy.
Faced with such a situation, the morale of the Soochow Navy has become low.
Because they have never seen such a situation before, and even in their view, this is not an equivalent relationship at all!
Ships emitting black smoke, arrows firing continuously, barrels that will explode and burn.
Such a situation is simply living in ignorance.
Therefore, the Soochow Navy is full of fear for such a situation, and I don't know if the Cao Wei Navy will come up with other things.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the traditional ships that Cao Wei followed behind the steamer all surrounded them.
And on the traditional ships, you can see the same vanguard ships as the Soochow Navy, and there are many Cao Wei soldiers on the vanguard ships.
Once such a situation occurred, the Soochow navy was forced to retreat one by one, because if they did not retreat, they would face the attack of the soldiers of Cao Wei.
As soon as the ship appeared, it immediately surrounded the Soochow navy in a double-team situation.
The vanguard ship of the Cao Wei navy was running very slowly, because the gunpowder barrel and the burning gun were still firing crazily at this time.
Cao Wei's vanguard ship was waiting in place, and they would intercept and kill any Soochow vanguard ship rushing over, and the range of the thunder barrel and burning barrel was far away from Cao Wei's soldiers, so it did not cause accidental injury.
It was another round of crazy bombing, and as the Cao Wei navy marched towards the Soochow navy, the encirclement was slowly shrinking.
Those Soochow soldiers who were seriously injured or survived by the iron pieces in the thunder barrel will be killed by the soldiers on the vanguard ship following the ship.
Some Soochow soldiers who were overturned and fell into the water would also be intercepted and killed by Cao Wei soldiers on the vanguard ship, and some who sneaked into the river would be chased and killed by arrows!
This Soochow Navy can be said to be very serious. It is unbelievable that such a situation happened to Soochow, which is famous for its navy.
