Volume 4 Bohai Eagle Yang Chapter 68 Victory is also difficult to be arrogant
At the same time, the stern of the ship suddenly swelled with white waves, and the tumbling wooden wheels stirred up a splash of water like a pearl and jade, showing a colorful psychedelic mist under the refraction of the sun.
Under the incredulous gaze of all the pirates, the "Eagle King" increased its speed dramatically, and the bow of the ship suddenly deviated, and it easily escaped the semi-circular encirclement before the nine enemy ships were far from reaching the ideal encirclement zone.
"It can't be!" Li Shaojie exclaimed in shock. How could such a bulky hull, with only two sails, suddenly burst out with such an astonishing speed?
The "Eagle King" drew a graceful arc in the continuous rudder rotation, and finally the hull of the ship was horizontal, a hundred paces away, and gradually formed a parallel trend with the outermost sand ship.
On the originally closed deck on the port side of the "King Eagle", one after another portholes were opened, and heavy ballista carts were pushed to the window, and the tenacious crossbow strings had been pulled into a full moon, like a bloody mouth that devoured people; Under the tips of the spears that shone with cold light, the clay pots wrapped in grass pockets trembled gently, as if they were eager to try before the outbreak.
When the first ballista brought the enemy ship into sight, the officer who commanded the launch immediately let out an angry roar: "Release! ”
The spear of the long rainbow pierced out of the string, crossing the sea for more than a hundred steps, and the tip of the spear pierced into the gang of the sand boat, and the clay pot that had been ignited under the tip of the spear was smashed into the hull of the ship.
The miraculous fire burst into the sky, and before the pirates could scream, a second spear had already been inserted into the hull with a sinister smile, igniting an even bigger fire.
"Quick! Fire suppression! The pirates rushed over buckets of precious fresh water and poured them desperately towards the flames that were gradually rising and burning to both sides.
Under Bai Lian's watering, the raging flames only pressed down slightly, and immediately stubbornly raised their heads, almost burning the pirates who were extinguishing the fire on the side of the ship, and the blazing temperature made their beards all roll back.
When the third spear ignited another fire outside the ship, the pirates finally despaired, and one of the leaders let out a reluctant howl: "All, abandon ship!" ”
Looking at the pirates who jumped into the sea like dumplings, a voice on the Han warship laughed wildly: "Order!" The fire bolt raises a scale and ignites the torch...... Ben will not be uncommon, this kind of broken ship! ”
By the time the last pirate had just jumped into the sea, a succession of firebolts had slashed into the deck of the sandship with precision. Almost at the same time, in an instant, the towering flames greedily licked the huge sails, causing the entire sand ship to immediately turn into a huge floating fireball.
Under the fierce fire, the entire sand ship made a "creaking" sound as if it was overwhelmed, and it was about to disintegrate and sink.
"This fire...... There are quirks! Li Shaojie on the boat in the distance turned pale. He has been a pirate for a long time, and of course he has done countless acts of arson and ship, and it is unimaginable that such a sky-high flame can be formed in such a short period of time....... which is unimaginable.
His throat was rolling, but he could not swallow the bitter water, and compared to the tragedy that befell him in front of him, all the triumphant deeds of the past had become a joke. For the first time, he felt remorse in his heart, could it be that he came this time with the momentum of victory, and he would return with hatred? No, no! If you can't say it, you have no return!
He gritted his teeth violently and shouted wildly: "The building boat stepped forward to meet the attack, dragged the enemy ship ...... and the rest of the boats, and did everything to rescue the fallen sea brothers, and prepare to run away!" ”
"Is that all?" One of the leaders, apparently carried away by the rage, shouted, "Commander, let's rush up and smash them!" ”
"Fuck off!" A loud slap knocked the leader around in half a circle, and before he could stand firm, Li Shaojie had already grabbed his shirt and gritted his teeth: "The Han army's firearms are so sharp, do you want to teach us all to turn into torches?" ”
"Lou Ship Fight!" He shoved the leader down on the deck and said miserably, "Before we have enough ships to escape...... Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, this round, you win! ”
"Huh? This is Li Shaojie's boat, right? On the "Eagle King", Nan Ying stared at the pirates' rapidly changing formation with some surprise: "The rest of the ships are all retreating, but he rushed up alone?" Good boy, Ben will underestimate him! A pirate who loves his subordinates so much, sure enough, ......"
Facing the expectant eyes of his subordinates, he said leisurely: "Still a pirate!" ”
"General...... Takami! Gan Ning almost slipped under his feet, and he cleverly changed the topic: "The enemy army is in chaos, do you want to use the speed of our ship to detour and burn a few more of his ships?" ”
"Nope! As you say, scare them off! Nan Ying stared at the enemy flagship rushing towards him with blazing eyes, and said with emotion: "If I wanted to win this naval battle without losing one person before, I would still be angry with that eldest lady!" Well, Ben has really changed his mind now! ”
"Li Shaojie is this person...... Ben will have the heart to take it! Before the blood feud is settled, it should be enough to stop! He turned around and said in a deep voice, "Vulcan Shock! ”
At the sound of the order, the oars on the left side of the "King of Eagles" stopped shaking, and the oars on the right side of the ship flew like a fly, and the bow of the ship was straight towards the enemy ship.
"Dinglu! Vulcan...... Launch! ”
On the left deck, with the roof wide open, there was a dull thunderclap.
The spring of the cow tendon strangled and stored was instantly released, and the thick lever was suddenly raised high, and the powerful force threw the piso connected to the front of the lever forward, and the terrifying superposition made the spherical object in the leather bowl at the front of the piso project out at an unimaginable and astonishing high speed.
It was an extra-large clay pot with oil oil, and in the high-speed rotation, the clay pot soared into the air more than 100 steps away, and then drew a parabola and dived down. At this moment, the external burning grass rope burned through several wax holes used to seal the oil outside the tank, and the instantaneous high temperature caused the entire tank to burst open in midair.
A flash of fire appeared in mid-air, and a large area of small fireballs and black oil fountains were thrown out, and soon formed a rain of fire in the sky, and countless light points of fire shrouded down like a goddess scattering flowers, and sprinkled straight on the head of the speeding building ship.
In the battle of Luoyang City on the same day, the hastily filled oil clay pot caused a large number of accidental bursts because it was not tightly closed, which caused a lot of unnecessary losses to the enemy while inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. Afterwards, Nanying learned from the pain, and Ma Jun tried many times, and finally succeeded in making this kind of "bomb" with high safety and great explosiveness, and then used the improved trebuchet to launch it, forming the so-called "Vulcan".
In naval warfare, if the quasi-head of the trebuchet alone wants to accurately hit a long-range target, it is undoubtedly a trigram to look up to the sky, and if a firearm such as the "Vulcan" does not have a considerable scale, it can be said to be extremely weak in offensive and defensive warfare and field warfare, but it is an extremely effective killing weapon for all-wooden warships at sea. The rain of fire thrown over a large area ignites the ship as soon as it touches the ship, especially for the enemy's sail with obvious targets, as long as it is successfully ignited, it will occupy an overwhelming advantage in speed.
However, even if this weapon named "Vulcan" is installed on a warship, it is not without flaws....... the huge deck of the "Eagle" class warship can barely accommodate one such launcher on the left side, and the completely enclosed top compartment must be opened before it can be put into use.
Li Shaojie raised his head in shock, his eyes were full of sparks, and before he could wake up, the entire building ship had already ignited dozens of fires of different sizes, and although more fire rain fell on the sea, it was still burning and not extinguishing, which caused an indescribable visual impact on the pirates.
The sound of exclamation and screaming resounded throughout the ship, two of the four huge sails were ignited, and the rings of fire the size of the bowl were spreading rapidly.
"Sail down! Drop the sails! The pirates screamed hoarsely, scrambling to extinguish the fires, but no one knew it would be futile in their efforts. As soon as the sails dropped, the speed of the ship naturally decreased greatly, and if the Han warships hung them with an absolutely superior speed and kept firing the firearms of Fang Cai, then it was only a matter of time before the entire building ship became a fireball.
There were also a few unlucky ghosts among the pirates who were hit by the rain of fire, and the ghosts cried wolf and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, and the pirates with organic spirits stepped forward and tore off their burning clothes with great force, so that they could be regarded as snatching back their lives, but they had already been burned to the ground.
Li Shaojie was cold and speechless, as if he was in a nightmare that was difficult to wake up from, until a pirate shouted: "Handsome! The Han ship is signaling with the common flag of the Han army....... they said, they said that they let us go today, and hope that we will surrender as soon as possible! ”
Li Shaojie let out a deep lament, and for the first time in several years of crisscrossing the sea, he issued an order that made him feel ashamed and indignant: "We...... Fall back! ”
"Haha! General, we won too easily! Gan Ning felt that the blood all over his body was boiling and burning, and for the first time he felt the supreme glory of being a naval general, so outnumbered to sweep the enemy army, it was really the dream that every general pursued all his life.
"Are we going to keep tracking?" He consulted Nan Ying with a tentative gaze: "General, if you want to subdue Li Shaojie, as long as you chase him to the sky and enter the ground, why worry if he doesn't surrender obediently?" ”
"With such a disadvantage, he still hasn't given in!" Nan Ying sighed: "Ben will be worried that once he is cornered, it may cause him to fight back desperately!" ”
"So what should I do?" Gan Ning frowned: "This Li Shaojie is as his name suggests, not only young and ambitious, but also an outstanding character. After the last general is afraid that he will escape, he will lie dormant and forbear, recuperate and recuperate, and become a disaster in the future! ”
"Unleash the Eye of the Sky!" Nanying heard the word "dormant", and his body shook and said: "Ben Jiang suddenly remembered that there is still one thing that has not been confirmed!" ”
"What?" Gan Ning exclaimed: "Could it be that the general has forgotten that the enemy army also has ......?"
"Plop la la" Before Gan Ning finished speaking, the Sky Eye Warrior behind him had already released the Harrier Eagle. The eagle chirped with joy and soared into the sky, spreading its wings towards the enemy ship.
"Ben will understand, you see!" Nan Ying narrowed his eyes, staring at the trajectory of the eagle's flight, and slowly raised his right hand.
On the enemy ship in the distance, an even louder eagle chirped out, and a giant white eagle flapped its wings and headed for the harrier eagle.
Nan Ying's face changed, and his right hand made a gesture. The Sky Eye Warrior hurriedly took out the eagle whistle and blew the whistle to summon the eagle back.
"It turned out to be ...... Hai Dongqing! Nan Ying looked at the binoculars, his face was both happy and worried: "Sure enough, their giant eagle does not have the ability to detect the enemy, but simply deals with our heavenly eye!" Just ......"
Seeing that the white giant eagle was difficult to catch up with his own harrier eagle, he exhaled a long breath: "But how did they tame this vicious bird of prey?" ”
"It turns out that the general wants to find out the details of the white giant eagle?" Gan Ning said suddenly: "The general said that the eagle is called Hai Dongqing?" ”
"Ben will always wonder why the other side has been dormant before the naval battle if it does have a psychic giant eagle...... Shouldn't they send out to reconnoiter the movements of our troops? Nanying put down his binoculars and regained his relaxed expression: "It seems that their falconer is far from reaching the fire, and this eagle can only attack our Heavenly Eye according to the simple instructions of its master!" ”
"Thankfully!" He sneered, "Otherwise, even these pirates have the ability to detect enemies like us, how can they sleep peacefully in the future?" If you can't take ......"
Nan Ying waved down with one hand and said fiercely: "You can only destroy them!" ”
"Speaking of which, it's back to the question before the last general!" Gan Ning smiled bitterly: "How exactly does the general plan to carry out his next move?" It can't be lowered, and it can't be killed, but it's really a headache! ”
"Flag Message! Ling Mozhe and Su Fei came to discuss it! Nanying also had a headache: "Winning a battle is not a skill, and being able to defeat the enemy without a battle shows its cleverness!" Whoever can design Li Shaojie to surrender sincerely, there will be a lot of rewards! ”
"Is this true?" A delicate voice said lightly: "What if the little sister can make the general achieve what he wants?" ”
"What? You! Nan Ying and Gan Ning turned around at the same time, but saw Zhang Mengyi smiling like a flower, stretching out his hand to support the railing.
