Chapter 256: Countermeasures

Zhao Yu looked at the general ship of the Yuan army, his mouth was hard, and he still played a little drum in his heart. It was fully equipped with long-range and short-range weapons, and the ship's side, deck, and upstairs were full of people, and it was estimated that it carried not a thousand but eight hundred soldiers, and it was simply a mobile arsenal; Besides, this head is really a bit majestic, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sink it in a collision, and when it is separated, it must be considered, and if it is not good, it will be smashed by it and buried with it; In addition, if you want to get close to it, you have to think of a way.

"Did you find the bed crossbow?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously. The accuracy of the bed crossbow is a fight with the ballista, and the power should not be underestimated, but it can easily shoot into the rammed earth wall, so that the soldiers can step on the crossbow arrows to climb the city, so there is also a crossbow in the city. Just hit the thickest roof on the ship, covered with iron sheets, and if it were anywhere else, it might be a chopstick poke tofu - worn.

"Report to Your Highness, it is hidden in the building, and it is being searched!" The artillery commander on the second floor reported back.

"Speed up the search, increase the smoke, snake maneuver!" Zhao Yu frowned and said, he knew that it was only possible to find the bed crossbow when the other party fired again, and his own side could not withstand another shot, so he hoped to use smoke to disturb the enemy's sight, it would not work, at least it was a comfort in his heart.

'Whoosh, whoosh......'

"It's dangerous!" As soon as Zhao Hao's words fell, several black shadows appeared in the telescope and shot towards the Warrior, causing a series of splashes on the port side, and it was the bed crossbow on the enemy ship that fired again, if it didn't just turn to the right, at least a few of these crossbow arrows would hit their own ship. Zhao Hao secretly called it lucky, but at the same time, he suddenly thought that although this crossbow could not achieve continuous fire, it could be loaded with multiple crossbow arrows at a time, and up to seven large and small arrows could be fired at the same time to achieve a small area of coverage.

'Bang, bang! The enemy's bed crossbow was fired again, and the bow gun, which had been prepared for a long time, also found the target, and immediately followed suit, smashing two large holes in the third floor of the enemy ship.

"Turn the rudder, fire a salvo from the starboard gun, fly the target on three floors, fire freely, and destroy it completely!" It's scary! Uneasy not to completely destroy the bed crossbow, he ordered a volley of gunfire across the hull.

However, Zhao Hao also regretted a little when he looked at the battle results of the bow gun, he knew that it was very difficult to sink the warship with this kind of solid iron bullet or stone projectile, unless it could hit the position below the waterline, or by chance, the stone bullet that fell vertically smashed through several layers of ship planks, and happened to smash a hole in the bottom of the ship. And the best weapon against a warship is a flowering bullet, which can not only cause huge damage to the hull, but also kill and injure a large number of people and cause a fire.

The original flowering bomb was actually a hollow cast iron ball, which was filled with gunpowder and attached to the lead. When firing, just ignite the fuse and throw it out, similar to the modern children's artillery battle, it can be said that it is very simple to make, but it is also dangerously tight. Therefore, Zhao Yu only let the gunpowder workshop of the capital institute try to produce a few for experiments, and did not produce them on a large scale and use them in actual combat, he was worried that an accidental enemy did not blow up, but sank himself, especially the closed hull of the turtle boat, once it exploded inside, the destructive power was greater, and I am afraid that there was no chance of escape.

Considering the current technical conditions, and Zhao Hao felt that it was really unsafe, so he temporarily put this matter down, and he thought that if there were rockets, he would be able to hold up the scene, who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing of bullying more and less today. But now it's too late to regret it, if you have the conditions, you have to do it if you don't have the conditions, everything has to wait until you survive today's big scene.

"Report to Your Highness, all the enemy ships and ballistas have been destroyed!" When Zhao Hao regretted it, the starboard gun smashed the unresponsive bed crossbow to pieces, and even the three-story flying house was beaten to a thousand holes, which was miserable.

"Keep your distance, use it in parallel, and destroy all their superstructures. At the same time, the port side of the alert will be strengthened, and those who are close will be resolutely attacked! "Zhao Yu is ruthless, since you compare long-range weapons with me, then give you some color to see.

His Royal Highness has an order, and many of these people on the ship have been in battle, so why don't they know which one is powerful and which one is easy to bully. The bed crossbow had been killed, and the trebuchets couldn't hide in the cabin, they were all placed on the deck, and the height was basically the same as the second-floor gun bay of the dragon ship, so you could see it clearly wherever it was placed. The men used their advantage to bully them, destroying their sails with chain bullets and then killing the crew of the trebuchets with their ballistas.

Think about how powerful the ballista is, the thick tree with the mouth of the bowl can pass by without delay, not to mention shooting people, even if you wear iron armor and hold a shield, it is difficult to resist the powerful implementation of crossbow arrows, and if you can't get it, it's a string of sugar gourds. The trebuchet, on the other hand, was made of thick pieces of wood, and the ballista smashed on it also made it fold. After a round of firing, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves on the front and rear decks of the enemy general's ship, and no one dared to approach the side of the trebuchet. After a few rounds of shooting, there was a dead body there, and the trebuchet had become a 'nest chicken'.

"Vomit ......"

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" His Highness, who was observing the enemy's situation, suddenly retched, and the people around him hurriedly came up and asked,

"It's okay, Your Highness is just looking at so many dead people for the first time, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Ni Liang stepped forward to look at His Highness with a pale face, waved his hand and smiled.

"Oh, this king is fine, it will be fine in a while." Zhao Hao spat sour water, and said with white eyes. The heart said that this child's heart is still so real, and he will not cover up for himself, which is too much.

But what Ni Liang said was not bad, Zhao Yu was frightened. Although there was still some distance from the enemy ship, with the help of Zhao Yu's telescope, the situation on the enemy ship was as close as a hand, and there were corpses all over the eyes, some of them were shot off by ballistas, and some of them were pierced in their chests, leaving a basin-sized hole, and their hearts, liver, and lungs were scattered aside. Others were nailed to the board of the ship by crossbow arrows, and for a while they could not stop convulsing in pain, and they didn't know what they were shouting with their mouths wide open...... Zhao Yu had never seen hell, but he felt that hell might be nothing more than that, those extremely miserable corpses, the stumps and internal organs scattered everywhere, and the blood flowing down the deck, was simply the Shura hell depicted in the book.

At first, they often fought with the enemy in an instant, knocking the enemy ship into the water, and the dead bodies could not surface for a while, Zhao Hao didn't feel anything, but this massacre happened in front of him, and those people had no power to fight back under the fire of the ballista, but there was nowhere to hide on the empty deck. He watched as these people were killed, stoned, and shot one by one. Although he knew that this was the battlefield and imagined what the battlefield would look like, when it was really presented in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel fear, and his stomach twitched......
