The five-tooth ship, this is a resounding name in history.

Yang Su was ordered to enter Bashu and build a five-tooth ship, on which a melee batter, a long-range trebuchet and a giant crossbow were placed to form a huge fleet, and went down the river to break through the defense line of Nanchen Jingzhou, so that Nanchen's defense could only retreat all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, laying a solid foundation for Yang Guang to launch a general attack.

Many people in later generations believe that what really made Nan Chen lose his fighting spirit was the mighty and powerful five-tooth ship, which was born to restrain the Nanchen Huanglong giant ship, which can be said to have condensed all the wisdom of officials and craftsmen in that time and space, and finally completely defeated Nan Chen's sailors, so that Nan Chen's biggest reliance was wiped out, so in the subsequent battle of crossing the river, Yang Guang basically did not encounter the enemy's sailors.

In fact, the scale of the Wuya ship is not much larger than Nan Chen's Huanglong ship, the key is that the advantage of the Huanglong ship is that it is equipped with a large number of bow and crossbow equipment, which can cause damage to the enemy in a short time, and the reason why the ship is built in this way is that Nan Chen actually has no opponent on the water, and the main role of the naval division is to cover the land division, so the strong shore support is obviously better than the water combat of the ship itself.

Therefore, the real invincible focus of the five-tooth ship lies in its specially thickened warship hull, which can effectively prevent the enemy's arrows from firing, and at the same time, the ship is equipped with specially built levers for broadside battles, which can hammer the enemy's ships fiercely when the warships are staggered with each other, especially the fragile superstructure on the ship, as well as crossbows, trebuchets and other facilities, so that the opponent's warship loses its combat effectiveness in a short time.

With the speed generated by going downstream, the Wuya ship can quickly rush into the enemy's fleet and then wreak havoc, so in Li Xinchen's view, the Wuya ship is really specially designed to defeat the Nanchen Naval Division, and how to play upstream downstream and melee destruction are all vividly reflected on this ship.

Looking at the warship that appeared in front of him, which was not very large, but absolutely heroic, Li Xinchen secretly admired, although Ouyang Mo had already gone to Hanzhong, he had to admit that several of his disciples were still very good.

This warship was almost built for war, with a heavy hull and a huge lever that made the ship look more like a moving fortress.

Of course, Li Xinchen did not intend to copy all the arrangements in history, the Wuya ship does have great limitations in history, especially the ability of naval warfare, and later Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty crossed the sea to expedition to Goryeo, the performance of the Wuya ship was unsatisfactory, its low side could not face the vicious waves at sea, and the powerful melee weapons obviously had no way to support the siege battle, and could only play the role of transporting soldiers and horses, but the side of the ship was already very low, if there were many people, the side of the ship would only be lower, and there was even a danger of subversion.

Although the five-toothed ship in front of him was very disgusting by Li Xinchen and still followed the name of history, there were too many differences inside.

First of all, the hull is protected with emphasis rather than full protection, which is enough to face possible dangers in close combat, and it also allows the ship not to be too heavy, increasing the speed and agility of the ship.

Secondly, all of the ship's bed crossbows and trebuchets are stored in the ship's hold, and with the use of clever mechanism control, they can be raised when needed, so as to avoid damage in close combat.

The biggest change is obviously the two huge wooden wheels on either side of the hull.

That's right, it's a wooden wheel similar to the paddle wheel of later generations.

Of course, this kind of wooden wheel, which only gradually appeared on the warships of the Song Dynasty, was not something that the craftsmen of this era could come up with, and Li Xinchen did not mind a point or two in it.

(Author's note: Here is a reference to the old version of CCTV's "Water Margin", and it is also rumored that Yang Xuan, the Dongting water thief that Yue Fei was conquest, was because of the use of this kind of warship, so he came and went on the water like flying, and no one could stop him, and finally the imperial court had to transfer Yue Fei to come to conquest.) ）

After all, the wind on the river is not as good as the sea breeze, and in many cases there is no way to drive a huge warship, so the warship mainly depends on the oars for its travel. But the two rows of oars obviously take up a lot of space, and once the strength of the soldiers who operate the oars is different, then the control of the ship becomes very difficult, which is why the southern dynasty can easily control the water, because commanding the sailor is indeed a more familiar technical job for southerners.

After Li Xinchen installed such paddle wheels on both sides of the ship, the soldiers only needed to use their pedals as constantly as bicycles to drive the leaves on the paddle wheel to slap the water, so as to make the warship move forward, this action was obviously more relaxed, and there was no need for everyone to deliberately maintain the direction of force, and at the same time, it could also save a lot of oarsmen.

According to the results of the training of the sailors, the ships with paddle wheels were able to travel two thirds faster than the previous ones, which was definitely enough to decide everything on the battlefield.

Of course, the paddle wheel also has an obvious weakness, that is, it is easy to be attacked, so the craftsmen do not need Li Xinchen's instructions, and they simply put the part of the bright ** that is exposed to the water with a wooden shell, so as to prevent the enemy from destroying it from a long distance.

As for the destruction of water spirits at close range······ When the water spirits get close to the paddle wheel, it would be nice if the Konoha that stirred the water didn't tear them apart directly.

Li Xinchen looked at this warship that brought together the experience of later generations and this era, and was full of emotion.

As a later man, he knew very well that Huaxia lost to the ocean in another time and space, so in this era, Li Xinchen must not let Huaxia ignore the role of the ocean anymore. And this warship in front of you is the starting point of everything!

Luo Ya said in a deep voice on the side: "As long as we give us another half a year, we can build more than fifty Wuya ships, and at the same time there are hundreds of supporting Mengchong and Lou ships." These warships are more than enough to deal with the current Jingzhou sailors! ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, at least this result was still very satisfactory, and then his gaze fell on Li Xun. The shipbuilding industry is performing very well, and the next thing naturally depends on Li Xun's soldiers and horses, only ships, and no one is naturally not good.

Wang Chang, the general of the sailor, is an old man who followed Li Xinchen into Shu, and most of the sailor soldiers are elite, so Li Xinchen is not worried, what he is really worried about is Li Xun's land soldiers and horses, after all, these soldiers and horses are going to be used for a decisive battle with Xiao Maha.

"Our new army barracks are just outside the southern county, and we ask the general to move." Of course, Li Xun knew that Luo Ya had passed, and the rest was himself, so he stretched out his hand at the moment.

Li Xun's cheerfulness also made Li Xinchen laugh: "Then let's go, let's go and see the future heroes who rely on the south of the Yangtze River!" ”

Li Xinchen's tone was full of trust, and Li Xun was even more excited, and immediately said solemnly: "I will not let the general down!" ”
