Chapter 334: The Qin Army Goes to Sea
The fleet of the Qin army, a fleet of more than 50 ships and a sail battleship, marched mightily on the Bohai Sea. The hundred-meter-long sail battleship was hung with the Black Dragon Flag of Great Qin at the bow and Li Zishuai Flag at the stern. This fleet has been cleaving the waves on the endless Bohai Sea for more than half a month, and if the wind does not change much in the past few days, it will be about three or five days to dock.
Battleship Xianyang, war room.
This hundred-meter-long sail battleship was named Xianyang by Li Chen, which is also a warship in the true sense of the word of Great Qin. Sail battleships are faster and have longer and narrower hulls, which means that the sides of the ship can carry more firepower. Compared to the sail battleship, the more bloated Fuship is more suitable for use as an armed merchant ship or troop carrier.
In the cabin of the battleship Xianyang, the largest cabin was Li Chen's war room, and a rudimentary map hung in the war room. This time the army was sent to the Korean Peninsula too suddenly, and Li Chen did not have a very detailed map in his hand, and this rudimentary military map was also provided by Goguryeo's sister Hua.
Li Chen's generals gathered around the map, and it could be seen that they all seemed to be a little out of shape. Most of the generals under Li Chen were landlubbers, and even some people who were slightly watery were adrift at sea for more than ten days in a row, and they were very tired physically and mentally. It's still good now, and after more than ten days of adaptation, everyone is better. In the first few days on the ship, whether it was the generals or the soldiers under him, there were countless seasickness, and the whole day was stinking.
"Cheer up Lao Tzu, you're about to dock, are you going to organize a group to deliver food in this state now?" Li Chen looked at these uncompetitive generals under him, and said with hatred. Li Chen happens to be one of the few people who does not get seasick, and it can be said that he is justified in training people.
"Master Hou, we just don't adapt to the sea, as long as this foot touches the ground, we are guaranteed to beat this group of aliens crying dad and calling mother." Fan Xu's face was a little pale, but there were bold words in his mouth.
"What's the use of blowing cowhides, when you go ashore, your Lao Fan is the pioneer, and the mule is the horse that comes out to slip." Li Chen said with a smile.
"According to Goguryeo's information, we will log in at the shallows of Turtle Fort. Turtle Fort is a fortress of Weihan, with a garrison of about 30,000 troops. There are ships, but it is not clear how many there are. If we move forward, we may encounter Wei Han's patrol navy. Li Chen pointed to the map and said to his generals.
"Who will tell me, if we encounter Wei Han's fleet, how will we fight?" Looking at his generals, Li Chen asked.
Although Li Chen's subordinates have a lot of generals, they are all famous generals from the Qin and Han dynasties in the previous life, but asking them about the naval battle is a bit of a piano. Fan Xu looked at Han Xin, Han Xin looked at Wang Li, and Wang Li looked at Zhou Bo. You looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end, no one said why.
"Master Hou, as far as Wei Han's broken ship is more or less our opponent, and the fleet composed of that broken thing is embarrassed to say that it is a navy, it is really shameless."
"Wei Han's boat is called a turtle boat, the largest is only about 30 meters long, and most of them are only more than 20 meters, mainly relying on the boat oars to provide power. Most turtle boats are only wooden boats, and the defense is extremely low, and a few turtle boats will also be covered with a layer of copper skin. These turtle boats rely on arrows to kill enemies from a long distance, and at close range, they still rely on getting close to enemy ships, and then climb on them to kill enemies. ”
"The turtle ship of the Wei Han people is far inferior to our fortune ship, not to mention that we have this big guy in front. Under the bombardment of these hundred and ten cannons, it was a problem for the little turtle ship to get closer. Even if they come up, we don't have to pay attention to it, and it's not a problem to bump into it directly. Meng Fei opened his mouth to speak, and the turtle boat of the Wei Han people was mentioned in his tone, full of contempt.
Today, Daqin's technology is ahead of any country in this land, and Daqin's navy is now strong and powerful, while the turtle ships of the Wei Han people are still fighting in close combat. This kind of technological crushing makes the strength of the two parties obviously unequal.
Li Chen glanced at the generals and said slowly: "Notify all the ships behind, let the soldiers in the best condition go to the lookout, and keep an eye on the sea for me day or night, to guard against the sneak attack of the Han people." Once these sons of bitches dare to raise themselves, they will all throw me into the sea to feed the fish. ”
"Yes." The generals shouted in unison.
Since it was not far from the landing of Turtle Fort now, the sentries on the watchtowers of each ship were in good spirits, and the Qin army was always ready for the upcoming sneak attack. This is a huge fleet of more than 50,000 ships carrying an army. On the unsheltered sea, there are no secrets at all about the whereabouts of such a large fleet.
The news of Daqin's dispatch to rescue Goguryeo has reached the ears of the Wei Han and Ma Han people, although they are a little afraid of the behemoth of Daqin, but now there are only nine cities left in Goguryeo. Naturally, this beaked duck couldn't let him fly because he was afraid of Daqin, so while Ma Han and Wei Han continued to attack Goguryeo, Wei Han also sent all his ships to attack Daqin's fleet at sea and delay Daqin's rescue of Goguryeo.
In the early morning, a pale white mist floats on the blue sea, and a red sun slowly rises on the eastern sea, which also makes the pale white mist exude a golden halo.
The sentry at the lookout stood straight and looked out to the sea in the distance. The sea is full of emptiness, and the view is barely obstructed. Suddenly, the sentry looked at the sea, and saw that in the pale white mist, many black spots appeared on the sea in the distance.
The sentry wondered if he had been standing all night, and his eyes were a little glazed, so the sentry rubbed his eyes and looked into the distance again, and when he looked at it, the black spot in the distance was getting bigger and bigger, where was the black spot, this was a fleet.
"Woo, woo, woo."
The sentry hurriedly took out the horn hanging from his waist and blew it violently, and at the same time as he blew the horn, all the ships sounded the horn of "woo". The long sound of the horn was the signal of an enemy attack, and the soldiers, who were resting in the cabin, immediately subconsciously climbed up from the narrow beds.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
Some of the soldiers in the cabin who had come to their senses shouted to wake up their colleagues who were still in a daze, and hurriedly put on their armor and ran to the deck.
