The feather arrows in the sky shot out from the dragon boat and shot on Zhu Jun's chest, shoulders, and head. Countless Zhu Jun rushing in front fell down, but no one stopped killing the red-eyed Zhu Jun roared wildly. They stepped on the bodies of their companions and rushed forward desperately.

This momentum made the Han army a little afraid, but at this moment, the emperor was in charge of the army, so how could he show weakness? Besides, the Han army was condescending, and the power of the muskets and feather arrows was not to be underestimated. The Han army confidently continued to fire muskets, crossbows, feather arrows, and artillery, and took turns to fire. Although everyone in the Zhu army was not afraid of life and death, they did not move forward any further.

The Zhu army's stagnation shocked the confidence in the Han army. After the Zhu army repeated charges, screams, and many actions of falling to the ground, the Han army was still guarding the dragon boat, using muskets, feather arrows, and red robes to sweep, and the rumbling artillery continued to spread over the Poyang Lake. A battle that had already won and lost was still continuing cruelly. Zhu army's 200,000 troops attacked in turn, with many casualties, and no one stopped or escaped. The soldiers in front fell down, followed behind, and followed one after another, none retreated, and used their flesh and blood to resist the artillery shells pouring out by the Han army.

Although artillery is easy to use, artillery is usually composed of two parts: gun body and gun mount. The gun body includes body tubes, gun tail, gun bolt and other body tubes. It is used to give the projectile initial velocity and flight direction; the gun tail is used to load shells; the gun bolt is used to close the barrel and fire the shells. The gun mount is composed of an anti-recoil device direction machine, a high and low machine, a sighting device, a large frame and a moving body. The anti-recoil device is used to ensure the reset of the artillery after the artillery fires the shells; the direction machine and a high and low machine are used to control the direction and height of the gun body to control the gun body change direction and height of the high and low aiming device consists of a sight and a sighting lens, which is used to install the gun shooting data to perform aiming and shooting. Therefore, when using artillery, you must prepare in advance.

In the past, the Yuan army attacked Bianliang and built hundreds of stone carts, fired day and night. The stone bombs fired almost filled the moat of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the first month of 1273 AD, the Yuan army launched a general attack on Fancheng in a key battle to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. First, soldiers familiar with water-like nature dived into the water and cut off the ropes, burned the floating bridge, and cut off their connection with Xiangcheng. Then the troops were divided into multiple routes, accompanied by a new stone cart with powerful and long range, attacking Fancheng by water and land. The warships in the north went straight to the city; the vanguard of the Yuan army tore a gap and attacked the people in the southwest; the main force of the Yuan army in the northeast risked his life to attack, and finally broke through the city. Fancheng fell, and Xiangyang was like a tooth loss. While the Yuan army was stepping up the siege, they shouted and surrendered, and continued to bombard the city tower with stone carts. 2

In the month, the commander of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Wenhuan, saw that there was no hope of breaking through, was frightened by the pressure of the Yuan army and finally surrendered to the city. This battle broke through the strategic defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty and opened a passage for the Yuan army to drive straight to the heart of the Southern Song Dynasty. Early artillery was rarely used in the war. The main reason was that the throwing objects was light in weight and had limited damage ability. On the battlefield, it could only kill soldiers and destroy combat vehicles. The stone chariot could also be used as siege weapons. Since the invention of gunpowder, the stone chariot could also be used to fire "gunpowder bullets" and other ignition materials.

Therefore, it became arson weapons. With the emergence of rockets and muskets, the cannons became more and more sophisticated, but there were always some defects. The cannons were extremely lethal, but the cost of each shot was also long, and the ammunition was consumed. Therefore, after a while of fire, Chen Youliang decisively stopped the occurrence of cannons. Looking at the Zhu army who was swarming in, the attack of the cannons could not suppress the Zhu army's rapid charge for the moment, especially the killing of the red-eyed Zhu army, who was rushing towards the dragon boat with no life at this moment.

Seeing this situation, Chen Youliang was not polite. The muskets and cannons continued to greet him. The Zhu army had already lost all courage to this deadly weapon. The Zhu army, who had been killed and injured everywhere, had lost their advantage. They could not fight against the Han army, which had several times their strength, was very strong and had fierce firepower. Amid the rumbling cannons, another large number of Zhu army fell in a pool of blood.

Splashes were everywhere, cannons were swirling, feather arrows were flying all over the sky, flesh and blood were flying in Poyang Lake, corpses were piled up like mountains, screaming like howls, the Han army shouted to attack desperately with cannons, rockets, and muskets. Zhu's army finally stopped attacking due to countless casualties and injuries. On the ships, warships, and on the lake, there were more and more corpses, and the rumbling cannons were still heard clearly several feet away.

"Brother Xu... If this continues, we will be done soon... Let's retreat?" Chang Yuchun ran over and gritted his teeth at Xu Da.

Xu Da's face was cold. Because of the long shouting, his voice was already hoarse and could not be spoken. It took him a long time to say a deep voice to Chang Yuchun: "Retreat...must retreat...?" Tens of thousands of soldiers fell down one after another. Xu Da, who was unable to attack the dragon boat, had to look at the huge waves of Poyang Lake and sighed and issued an order to retreat.

The order flag flashed back and forth, and the commanders sent the commander's command to each team and battalion. The Zhu army, who received the order, began to retreat in an orderly manner. It was rare to defeat the Zhu army. The Han army naturally would not miss this opportunity. Since then, the artillery continued to bombard the vanguard of the Zhu army and the rear camp, biting the Zhu army's vanguard and the rear camp, hoping to destroy them all in Poyang Lake. After all, the Zhu army's small boat was flexible. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops were under the command of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, they calmly retreated from Mount Wangkang. Wherever the rocks stood, the dragon boat could not be used, so they would not be afraid of the Han army.

The dragon boat ran wildly, and everywhere he went, he saw countless dead bodies. Because Zhu Jun fled quickly, when he wanted to catch up, he realized that his dragon boat could not catch up with Zhu Jun's fishing boat. Zhu Jun had fled in a hurry in the sky.

"Bastard... Our army is in full swing, and it is a good opportunity to wipe out Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop. Why not catch up with him!" Chen Youliang, on the dragon boat, was furious and kept scolding Han Shixun.

Han Shixun knelt outside, trembling and did not dare to look up. He just waited for Chen Youliang to scold him and said in a trembling tone: "Report to Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang is cunning by nature. Is he ambushes after chasing him? Isn't it that he was ambushed? Just now, the Wei minister has sent a team of troops to investigate. If he has not ambushed, with His Majesty's power, wouldn't Zhu's army still flee? "
