Chapter 253: The heart is unsettled

Chen Renweng was a little depressed, seeing that the dragon boat was fighting with the enemy, he could only sweep away from afar, and all this was only because he was on the wrong boat. Of course, this scene is also terrifying, especially the Warrior's series of 'adventure' behaviors, which made his nervous heart pop out. In order to save the Valiante, it used three ramming tactics in succession, which in the eyes of others only showed that it had superhuman courage and audacity, and dared to attack at all costs. In Chen Renweng's eyes, this is not something that can be done just by being bold.

First of all, we must have a cool head, so that we can judge the current situation, which one to hit first, which one to hit later, we must judge it; Secondly, it is necessary to have accurate calculation ability, not only to ensure its own safety when impacting, but also to ensure that it does not accidentally damage your own warship. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the influence of waves on the route, only in this way can the impact point and timing be accurately selected; Finally, it is a test of the commander's courage, because no matter how good you calculate, there may be an accident, maybe you will be hit and sunk by an enemy ship, or accidentally damage your own warship, which will bring disaster to yourself.

And the Warrior's series of bold and precise movements made Chen Renweng conclude that he had been deceived by His Highness again, and that he had not kept his prior agreement - never to interfere with his command, because he knew the abilities of each of his subordinates. Zhang Hao is a flexible person, brave in battle, and able to adapt. However, he was more than calm in his work, and conversely, he lacked the spirit of adventure, and it was for this reason that he was chosen to be the captain of the Warrior, so as not to put His Highness in danger because of his adventure. However, Zhang Hao's accidental injury changed everything, and His Royal Highness took over the command reasonably and legally.

Chen Renweng thought about replacing His Highness, but he finally gave up.

His Highness's intelligence and boldness are well understood by anyone who has dealt with him, so he believes that His Highness will not be brutal even if he takes over the command, but will be more cautious, because the Destroying Front Army can be said to have been built by him, and he knows the current situation better, only by successfully intercepting the enemy fleet can he save the imperial court's fleet, and the current situation has not developed to the point where he needs to fight hard, and His Highness will not do those things that harm others and are not beneficial to himself.

In addition, Chen Renweng knew that His Royal Highness had an understanding of the performance of the dragon ship, and no one in the Destroying Front Army could match it, and it was in this way that the combat power of the warship could be brought into full play. And if he decides to replace His Royal Highness, it will definitely damage his majesty and be detrimental to His Royal Majesty's command of the army in the future. In this way, it showed His Royal Highness's outstanding command ability and courage, which made the whole army more convinced. Moreover, he knew that the protection of the dragon ship was far better than that of his own ship, and the survivability was stronger, and it would be safe for His Highness to stay there. But if His Highness is in danger, he will also resolutely withdraw his command and 'detain' His Highness back.

"Your Highness, this is to take the head of the general in the Ten Thousand Horse Army!" Chen Renweng arranged the rocket ship, and his eyes did not take off the Warrior, and he quickly saw His Highness's intentions.

Seeing that the enemy turned around and turned to sail against the wind, and in this way they could only constantly change the angle of the sails in order to take advantage of the wind, and the ship could only take a zigzag route, not to mention going slowly, and constantly changing directions. The enemy generals are also aware of this, so they can only intercept and squeeze the encircling dragon fleet by expanding the battle line and squeeze them into the middle, limiting their mobility. However, in Chen Renweng's view, their idea was good, but it was not easy to realize, because after the fierce battle, the enemy's strength was weakened, and he could only sail in a single column, and the front was much weaker.

Chen Renweng knew that the most deterrent weapons of large warships against dragon ships were trebuchets and slapping rods. The trebuchet is a weapon that uses manpower to pull the lever to achieve projectile, according to the size can throw more than ten catties to 100 catties of stone projectiles, of course, the greater the weight of the projectile object, the trebuchet also increases proportionally, and the personnel also need more. The size of the ship is only relative, and it is always not as spacious as the land, so it can only carry a small stone thrower, but its accuracy is similar to its own rocket, and whether it can hit depends on the character.

The beating rod is shaped like a water tool orange tree, that is, a T-shaped wooden frame is set on the side of the ship, in which the vertical part of the wooden frame is a fixed rod, the horizontal part is a movable rod, the movable rod sticks out of the outboard side of the ship and ties a heavy object, one end in the side of the ship is fixed somewhere on the ship, when the ship meets the enemy ship, untie the fixed end, and the heavy object of the outer probe falls, you can penetrate or even smash the opponent's ship, this is called 'shooting', relying on the falling energy to smash the approaching enemy ship. The big one is as high as five zhang, and the hammer weighs hundreds of catties, which can easily smash the city wall, and is the largest and most powerful weapon on the warship.

The hull of the dragon boat is sturdy, and as long as the 20 to 30 pounds of stone bullets fired by the stone thrower do not hit relatively weak places such as portholes and watchtowers, they will not be able to cause damage to them. The slapping rod is fixed in the front, back, or middle of the ship, and can be placed up to six, which is powerful but difficult to move, as long as you can avoid their location, or destroy it in advance, you can't hurt your own warship, and it is not impossible to destroy the slapping rod with a ballista, plus His Royal Highness Quintle will definitely be able to avoid it.

I figured out this, but Chen Renweng was still uneasy, as a general of His Royal Highness, he couldn't charge for him at the moment, but needed His Highness to personally lead an army to fight, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Maggots of tarsal bones!" At this time, Chen Renweng found that it was not those huge enemy warships that could cause trouble to His Highness, but those boats that were floating on the sea. Don't look at this kind of ship although the size is small, but the speed is extremely fast, it is generally used to transmit military information, sentry into the enemy's movements, the best at pursuit and fighting, usually tied to the back of the big ship, can carry dozens of sailors to attack the enemy ship in wartime. They now take advantage of the speed and more agile body of the dragon ship to weave back and forth in front of and behind the ship, blocking its progress, waiting for the opportunity to launch rockets, ramming the ship's tail rudder, and even throwing hooks in an attempt to board the ship to fight, causing great trouble to the dragon ship.

The dragon ship is taller than the boat, and the ballista set on the second floor is difficult to carry out effective attacks on the approaching enemy ships, and the closed hull makes it impossible to go out of the cabin to fight, and can only be shot with a bow and crossbow by the soldiers, but it is also limited to the position of the crossbow window, and cannot be sniped in time. If you want to hit it, it is more agile than the dragon ship, and can always avoid it dexterously, and the dragon ship seems to have no way to deal with it. The Warrior was entangled in two ships.

"Good!" Chen Renweng suddenly slapped the railing and shouted, everyone followed his line of sight, only to see the Warrior struggling to move forward turn at high speed, and the stern of the ship set off a huge wave, and the boat that followed it lost control and crashed head-on into the dragon boat......
