1288. The Prosperity of Sea Ships

And at this time, the Manraka warship was still heading ahead.

Although their ships were also catapults pressed down, who would have known that the range of the Great Song grenadier could be so far.

In this era, communication was extremely inconvenient, and the next county was like a country, not to mention how far Manraka was from the Great Song Dynasty.

In Manchuria, I am afraid that only a very few people have heard of the majesty of the Great Song Forbidden Army. And it may not be taken seriously, it just feels like an exaggeration.

It's all raised by their fathers and mothers, who can be afraid of whom?

Since Manraka dared to attack Mayi, Boni and other countries, it was also an ambitious country. And such countries often do not lack self-confidence.

At this moment, when the cannonballs of the grenadiers of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army fell on these Manchurian warships, these Manchurian soldiers who were rampant overseas and full of confidence were finally a little confused.

What is this?

How can you hit so far?

How can it be so powerful?

The grenadiers and shells were more powerful than the stones they used, and I don't know how much.

At most, the stone will make a hole in the warship, and the cannonball of this grenadier cannon, if it is hit accurately, can even blow up and sink the warship of Manchuria.

This is simply a strong man with a big knife bullying a young doll.

On the warship, Wang Zaikan and other navigators, generals, and envoys of Ma Yiguo all showed extremely excited expressions.

Although the Great Song warships that fired at the same time were only more than 20 in the forefront, the results achieved at this moment were already quite gratifying.

The soldiers on the warships of the Manchurian Republic screamed in amazement and panicked.

Two warships were directly blown up and broken, and slowly capsized.

Several warships were also blown up and bruised, showing signs of capsizing at any time.

Although it seems to be a small number, this is already a very heavy loss in a naval engagement.

The total number of Manraka warships was probably only about 60 or so, and only after the confrontation had just begun, more than one-tenth of the warships had already lost their combat effectiveness.

And on these ships, there were 400 to 600 soldiers on each of them.

Falling overboard in such a naval battle, it is difficult for them to have any hope of survival.

In other words, in this short confrontation, the number of soldiers lost by Manraka was as high as 4,000, and it was probably more than that.

No matter how panicked these soldiers of the Manchurian and Canadian countries were, the Great Song Forbidden Army obviously would not stop firing their cannons.

The successive shelling also made the ship shake slightly. Waves rippled on the side of the ship.

The Manchurian naval warships did not want to sit idly by, and also responded with catapults.

It's a pity that although the catapults on the naval ships are very large and have a range that exceeds that of ordinary catapults, they are still far inferior to grenadiers.

It was in vain for them to throw stones from such a distance. The huge rocks fell into the sea and made huge waves.

When the admirals of Manraka saw this, they were shocked, angry, and hated.

I hadn't heard of how powerful the Song navy was before, and the Song State had always been dormant in the inland and inland seas, so why was it suddenly so ruthless?

It was as if a docile lion had suddenly erupted and devoured several large living people.

If you continue to fight like this, then what's the point?

Originally, they wanted to use the encirclement to deter these Song navies who came from afar. Now it seems that it is undoubtedly gnawed on the hard bones.

How could the Song Navy regard them as an encirclement, and it was clearly regarded as a delivery of food!

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat!"

On the main warship of the Manraka Kingdom, the general was busy shouting. Of course, it's the shouting of Manraka.

There were a few drums on the boat.

The naval warships of Manraka could not care about the ships that were already unable to move, so they hurriedly changed their sails and retreated to the back.

The ships of the Great Song Forbidden Army resounded with continuous laughter.

It turns out that this Manchurian navy, which is rampant and domineering overseas, is nothing more than that!

In fact, they really underestimated the Manchurian Navy.

Manraka can be so crushed that Mayi, Boni and other countries can't raise their heads, and they are already the strongest navy in the South China Sea.

Their naval warships are much more advanced than those of Mayi, Boni and other countries. At the same time, the soldiers are also much more powerful.

It's just that they encountered the Great Song Forbidden Army, and the original advantage became a disadvantage.

The naval warships of the Great Song Dynasty were designed and invented by Zhao Dongting himself.

In terms of firepower, each naval ship had five grenadiers in two rows on the left and right, and ten catapults. In the bow and stern, there were also two grenadiers.

As for defense, the vital points of the Great Song Dynasty's naval warships were wrapped in new steel.

The joints of the ships are connected by screws.

These are all sample drawings drawn by Zhao Dongting based on the screws used to stabilize the formwork on the construction site of later generations.

In many other places, Zhao Dongting used many shipbuilding skills in later generations.

With Xinxing Iron and Steel as the foundation, and Zhao Dongting's careful design, the naval warships of the Great Song Dynasty were called the second in this era, and no country dared to call them the first.

The Manchurian naval warships are now considered to be today, and in addition to the sails, there are also water wheels on both sides. When they retreated, the water wheels were constantly rolling.

In the cabin, I don't know how many soldiers are shaking these water wheels vigorously.

"Chase!"

However, although they castrated quickly, the naval warships of the Great Song Forbidden Army were much faster than them.

Zhao Dongting also designed water wheels on these naval battle ships, but the water wheels he designed were quite ingenious.

Although it does not involve steam engine and other technologies, it also has the mystery of perpetual motion machine.

On these naval ships of the Great Song Dynasty, in the cabin as the power room, there were only more than ten crew members.

There are a lot of huge gears in the whole cabin.

The dozen or so crew members sat on high chairs with their feet on the pedals, as if they were riding bicycles.

But the water wheel outside the boat was spinning very fast.

The naval warships of the Great Song Forbidden Army were like sharp arrows chasing after those Manchurian naval warships.

The naval warships in front were still turning, and the warships behind were already bypassing the side and hurrying forward.

The soldiers on the Manchurian naval warship were stunned when they saw the Great Song Naval Warship approaching at such a fast speed.

How can there be such a fast naval ship in this world?

Their Manchurian naval warfare ships are already the fastest and most agile naval warfare ships in the South China Sea. But at this time, compared with the naval warships of the Song Kingdom, it is like a toy.

Although most of the two armies of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army were new pawns, relying on the advantages of naval warships alone was enough to eat these Manchurian navies.

In the confrontation at sea, in fact, the soldiers did not have much to do.

Both sides carried out artillery and stone attacks from afar, and did not use swords to fight. The recruits will not be scared to the point that their legs and feet will be weak, let alone faint blood.

Who can see blood from such a distance?

It was not long before the sound of cannons began to sound again on the sea.

Although there were only two grenadiers on the bow of the Great Song Naval Warfare Ship, the firepower of so many naval warfare ships was naturally quite terrifying.

The two armies pursued at sea.

The Manchurian navy, which had just come to encircle it, looked like it was a lot of.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

Their naval warships were far behind those of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course they could not avoid the result of being beaten.

Huang Zhijie saw that he had such an upper hand just after the war, and he was quite relaxed, and said to Wang Zaikan: "Lord Wang, this Manchurian navy is nothing more than that!" ”

Wang Zaikan was a little crying and laughing.

Their sailors and generals only helped the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army train the navy and teach naval combat experience, but they did not really understand the naval warships of the Great Song Dynasty. Who would have thought that the naval warships of the Great Song Dynasty could be so strong.

Where is this like a country that has just reorganized its navy can have a naval warship, even the country with the most powerful navy in the world, there should not be such an advanced naval warship, right?

In fact, Zhao Dongting did not use too advanced technology on these naval ships, and he couldn't do it. Even so, it can make people in this era shocked.

Many of the ordinary skills and knowledge of later generations are difficult to imagine in this era.

It's like going to the moon.

Before the successful moon landing, who would have thought that something could actually fly to the moon?
