Chapter 1400: The Han Flag World (90) is vulnerable
Pu Cheng held the mast with both hands, wrapped a single leg around it, climbed steadily on the mast, watched the cannonballs passing in the air, crossed the large area of ship mooring, and landed on a large number of Chu Navy Division warships moored in the area on the right side of the pier.
"It's spectacular!" Park Sung cheered loudly. When he served, even the navy had not yet popularized the equipment of artillery, but as a former first mate of a battleship, he had more or less heard some news, and heard that there were experimental battleships that had been equipped with some powerful weapons that were being tested, but until he retired, he had not seen this kind of weapon equipped on the ships he served, and now that he thinks about it, it must be artillery, and it is really powerful, since even the inland water division is equipped, let alone the naval battleship.
In the distance, more than ten three-story battleships are horizontally hulled, and there are constantly fires accompanied by thick smoke on the side, on each deck, five guns are installed, and on the three-story deck, that is fifteen guns, and when added up on both sides, it is thirty, Pu Cheng tilted his head and thought, the battleship at the head of the inland river division is installed with thirty guns, and the battleships that served in the past can at least install hundreds of guns, and he sketched in his head the spectacular scene when half of the fifty guns are fired at the same time, and he can't help but gasp.
"Holy shit, I didn't catch up with the good times!" Pu Cheng looked down at his broken leg and thought regretfully.
"Pu Cheng, second child, get down and find a way for your shit, otherwise I'm going to be finished." Yang Yunhua jumped to his feet below and scolded, at this moment, there was already a big chaos in the dock, and the attacked Chu warships were eager to flee for their lives, and they raised their sails and anchored one after another. Regardless of the surrounding civilian merchant ships, desperately sailing outward. At this moment, the officers and men of the Chu Army's naval division can be said to be working with their lives, and under the full control and rowing, some civilian merchant ships close to them were either forcibly squeezed away, or they were directly rammed and crushed into the water.
Pu Cheng raised his head on the mast, and his heart was bad, because his ship was properly up and down. It's not far from the inside of the dock, and when those Chu warships rush out, they will definitely bear the brunt.
Zi slipped down, grabbed the helmsman in a few steps, and shouted: "Everyone let me go down to the cabin to row, Lao Tzu will take the helm, let's squeeze out." ”
The merchant ship flying the Yellow Dragon Flag was sailing backwards, and Pu Cheng was almost hanging on the rudder, because he only had one leg. This made it more difficult for him to take the helm than normal, and from time to time he collided with the next ship, causing the whole ship to stagger as if it had encountered a powerful storm. After a while, the stern of the boat and the boats on both sides were already scarred, but Park Cheng seemed to have found the feeling when he fought against the wind and waves on the sea. Found the experience of naval battles with those natives, and roared excitedly as he steered the ship. actually stumbled and plugged in the wind and ran out. Behind them, some clever merchant ships, following them closely, even escaped.
This very rare situation also attracted the attention of Li Quan, the commander of the Han army's naval division, and when he saw this domestic merchant ship escape, he couldn't help but admire: "Good technology, send a small boat to ask, who is driving the boat, are you interested in joining my inland water division?" ”
Pu Cheng drove the boat directly towards the Han army sailors, of course he didn't have the courage to sail head-on to the Han warship, it was sure to be targeted as a target, the merchant ship that came out turned a corner, avoided the frontal strike range, and slowly sailed from the side to the Han army sailors above the river, and he himself, at this time, gave up the position of the helmsman, snatched the two flags on the ship responsible for flag communication, stood at the bow of the ship, desperately playing the flag.
Military flags are different from civilian ones, but this is not a problem for Pu Cheng, who has served in the navy for many years, and for the sailor flags, it has almost become a human instinct like eating and drinking.
Although the flag language of the navy is slightly different from the flag language of the inland water division, it is basically the same, seeing the flag from the opposite ship, Li Quan finally understood, dare to love the ship operator on this merchant ship is actually from the navy, maybe it may be his former colleague! No wonder it is so powerful, compared to the turbulence and danger of the sea, a little wind and waves in this inland river is indeed not worth mentioning.
And Pu Cheng, when he saw a small boat coming towards him, he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and now he was safe.
And behind him, the sweaty Yang Yunhua cried and looked at his scarred boat, "Dog's day, dog's day, Lao Tzu's boat that has just been overhauled, all the hard work of this year has been in vain, Lao Tzu will go to the council to complain after he goes back, and let their inland river sailor compensate Lao Tzu's boat." ”
Pu Cheng walked over with one leg jumping and jumping, "Boss, I'll give you an idea, maybe after this battle, we can not only recover this loss, but also make a fortune." ”
"What do you mean?" Yang Yunhua raised his teary eyes and asked.
Pu Cheng smiled, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was killing all sides overseas with the navy, "Boss, the commander of this inland water division is called Li Quan, do you know?" ”
"Who the fuck doesn't know, after I go back, I'll go and complain about him, ignoring the national property, wantonly attacking my own people." Yang Yunhua said angrily.
"Commander Li has also worked in the navy before, but he is a senior official, and I am just a first mate of a warship, I know him, he may not recognize me, but as long as I reminisce about the past, I can still make a little friendship."
"What do you mean by that?" Yang Yunhua asked puzzled.
"When you start a war, you can get rich quickly." Pu Cheng lowered his voice: "Let's go and ask Commander Li to incorporate us into his combat sequence, you also know, this naval division fights, in addition to battleships, there are supply ships or something, our sailors on this ship, but most of them are sailors, you have also seen this face, the Chu State Naval Division is not vulnerable at all, we are mixed into the combat sequence, we can make a fortune in this process, not to mention anything else, at least we can grab a good ship, those Chu State warships can be regarded as finished this time, if we do it well, we can get one, go back to repair." , isn't it much stronger than our current ship? Moreover, after the war is over, our ship can still go up to report the war damage, according to the regulations of our Han Kingdom, the state will compensate, maybe we can get another one. With this little bit of incense between us and Commander Li, it is possible to lose two ships if we don't make it happen, anyway, after this battle, these hundreds of warships of Chu State have not been sunk, but they will all become trophies. ”
"Will this work?" Yang Yunhua asked suspiciously.
"Of course, have you forgotten that I used to serve in the navy, when we were overseas, and we often requisitioned caravan ships, and after a battle, those caravans all made a fortune!" Park Sung-do.
"Which is it, second child, if this thing is done, I will give you a share increase, and the annual dividend will also be increased by 20%, how about it?" Yang Yunhua was overjoyed.
"That's settled." Park Sung was overjoyed.
As he spoke, the boat that came from the sailor's side was slowly approaching. Pu Cheng rushed to the side and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the sailor, my name is Pu Cheng, I used to serve in the navy and fought with Commander Li, and now I want to meet the commander, Ke Cheng?" ”
Not to mention that Pu Cheng went to see Li Quan to catch up with the old days, and by the way to implement his plan to make a fortune, Taihe Wharf has been in disarray at the moment, except for a few Chu warships that escaped from the wharf after a lot of hardships, the others were beaten down, and many of them were on fire, and those Chu warships that escaped naturally couldn't please them, and each Chu army sailor was being surrounded by several Han army sailors. A building ship at the front has slowly sailed towards the dock, with its tall size, rampage all the way, leaning towards the dock, and the sailors above the river have already made way to a passage, with the troop transport behind the sailors is moving forward.
On a troop transport ship at the front, Wei Zhiwen, the commander of the Second Front Army of the Han Kingdom, was standing on the bow of the ship with a horizontal sword, laughing loudly: "Brothers, it's finally our turn to play, the sailors have done a good job, our army can't lose face, after going ashore, take Jiangdong County as quickly as possible." ”
"Yo ho ho, Wan Sheng!" On the troop transport, the soldiers of the 17th Army were already so excited by the previous battle scene that they waved the weapons in their hands one by one, shouting wildly, and eager to fly to land in one step.
Wei Zhiwen, the former bandit of Qi Land, after following Bai Yucheng, rose all the way to the high position of the army commander, and he was born as a bandit, and the army he led did have a banditry spirit.
Taihe Wharf is only more than ten miles away from the county seat of Jiangdong County, and at this moment, the news of the large-scale attack of the Han army's naval division has spread to the county town, and the entire county town has been completely chaotic.
Jiangdong County as the base of the export of silk from the south of the Yangtze River of Chu to the Han State, and also as the first major city of commercial transactions between the Han State and the Chu State, its prosperity is not even worse than Yingcheng, the capital of the Chu State, but because there are too many exchanges with the Han State here, the people here know much more about the Han State than the rest of the Chu State, the strength of the Han State is all-round, I heard that the Han army is coming, the first reaction of the people of Jiangdong County is to flee quickly. At this moment, the streets of the city were full of panicked people, many of whom hurriedly rolled up a little gold and silver, and fled to the city gate, and in a few moments later in the evening, when the city gate was closed, no one could escape.
Jiangdong County Taishou Wenzhuang's face turned pale at this moment, and his lips trembled: "Water Master, Water Master is so vulnerable?" (To be continued.) )
