Chapter 608: A Small Test
Chapter 608: A Small Test
The battlefield is a stage for the embodiment and sublimation of the value of soldiers' lives. As a member of the Liaodong fleet, Yu Fei finally stepped onto the long-awaited stage in his heart to show his talent to his opponents and even the world.
Providence is unpredictable, and fate 'makes' people. From the laid-off grassroots officer of the Tang Navy Division to the pioneer captain of the Liaodong escort fleet, from disheartened to high-spirited, from a nobody to a fierce general, he only took half a year.
At the mouth of the Liaohe River, the men of the "Yufei" paddled frantically, and the boats bravely moved forward and "inserted" into the warship group of the Bohai Division. Against the wind and against the current, showing the true 'color' of heroes.
The rebellious attention of the Bohai Sea was focused on the west coast, and when the figure of the "Yufei" was discovered, it was too late to turn around and fight.
Yu Fei's courage and courage were vividly displayed in this small battle.
Don't shoot them, lean in and shoot them to death!
As soon as they saw the enemy's tracks, the sailors on the "Yu Fei" hurriedly prepared for a long-range attack, however, Yu Fei's order startled them a lot. Lonely will be beaten by a group, it's too late to keep a distance, isn't it sent to death if you take the initiative to step forward?
Why don't you abandon the catapult and winch crossbow? Good question! Tell me, who is guaranteed to take out the enemy before the enemy's winch crossbow strikes back?
Doubts from the sailors were categorically rejected by Yu Fei. In terms of individuals and equipment, the "Yufei" is far superior to the Bohai Rebellion that it encountered first, and it is reasonable to give full play to its long-range attack advantage.
However, the reality does not allow it. The "Yufei" was the vanguard of the Bohai fleet, and its strength was weak, while the rebellious fleet of the Bohai Sea consisted of three fighting ships and two walkers, and the number was superior. Discovery is destruction is not entirely applicable in this era, the so-called long-range attack weapon of the stone thrower or winch crossbow, the hit rate can reach the single digit of the egg, it seems that the effect of scaring people is greater. If you want to hit the target, unless it is a collective salvo of more than a dozen building ships. However, Yu Fei fought alone, he didn't want to be besieged by the enemy after sending a few stones and a few crossbow arrows without pain, after all, the enemy had more long-range weapons than him, although the 'shooting' range was slightly inferior.
In close combat, the big guy is the king, and if you can't die, you will be killed!
"Hehe, run away, run away, the more 'chaotic' the better!"
Looking at the enemy's panicked dodging moves, Yu Fei grinned. His command post was at the highest end of the ship, and his vision was open and the situation on the river was clear at a glance.
The Liaoshui River seems to be wide, but in fact, large ships can navigate in deep waterways, and the consequences of 'chaotic' scurrying are very serious, and the possibility of running aground is very large. In this regard, Yu Fei's years of life in the Huai River and the Yangtze River have accumulated countless experiences for him.
Sure enough, a Bohai rebel fighting ship panicked and rushed to a dark beach in the center of the river, unable to move.
"Smash it!"
Yu Fei viciously ordered. On his ship, there were three large levers, and at the beginning of the charge, the Popeye were already in place, just waiting for the most tense and 'exciting' moment to come.
The slapping rod is to use the principle of levers to build a large T-shaped movable frame on the boat, tie the boulder to the rope, set it on the crossbar, hang the stone at one end, and pull the rope at the other end to maintain balance. When approaching an enemy ship, turn the boulder over the enemy ship, then release the rope pulled by the man, and the boulder will be smashed into the enemy ship. The boulder can be used repeatedly, and the 'operation' is flexible.
The first to attack was the Bohai Rebellion, and the crossbow arrows released by the winch crossbow or flew over the bow of the "Yufei" with a terrible whirring sound, except for splashing some "waves" and "waves", which were useless.
Such a result is normal, the "Yufei" greeted the bow of the ship, and the frontal exposure to the enemy was minimized, and the distance was too close, and the rebellious winch crossbow in the Bohai Sea was difficult to threaten.
Another painful part of the winch crossbow is the preparation time for firing, taking advantage of this gap, the "Yufei" sailed to the side of the stranded fighting ship.
The cries of the enemy on the battling ship were clearly audible, and the short spears and axes thrown wildly were like flying locusts.
It's just a dying struggle! Yu Fei sneered, the drumstick in his hand slammed down, and the big drum in front of him made a shocking "dong dong" sound, covering up the roar in his mouth.
Smash!
The sailors in the second position read the drum command, collectively released the rope in their hands, and the boulder on the volley fell mercilessly, accurately kissing the fighter.
"Boom!"
With a deafening loud sound, the fighting ship was suddenly broken in two and sank in a blink of an eye. Broken pieces of wood, struggling overboarders, in vain resisting the fate of being swallowed up by the whirlpool of undercurrents.
Refreshing! Enjoyable!
The entire crew of the "Yufei" cheered and unleashed the unique pleasure of the saboteur.
Retaliation came quickly, and one of the walkers approached from the other side parallel to the head-on.
The 'female' wall is erected on the side of the boat, there are many husbands, few soldiers, all of them choose the brave 'elite' sharp, go back and forth like flying gulls, take advantage of people's reach, mainly used for raids and impacts.
More than a dozen rockets were 'fired' one after another, and the targets were the mainsail and sidesail hoisted by the "Yufei".
Rockets 'shoot' through canvas.
Miracles happened. In the past, the scene of over-fire and ignition did not appear in the eyes of the Bohai people, and the canvas of the "Yufei" ignored the open flame!
The exclamations of the Bohai people even reached Yu Fei's ears.
Stupidity! Do you know the fire cloth of the Celestial Empire?
Yu Fei's face was disdainful.
Scorn and taunts do not affect the speed of counterattacks in the slightest. Under Yu Fei's calm command, another racket that was always ready moved over. Apparently, the enemy ships were aware of the attempt of the "Yufei", and the rowing sailors received the order and hurriedly rowed to evade.
The sailors of the "Yufei" were not slow, and the red of the No. 1 robe was deeply stabbing and "excited" them, and their full energy turned into a roar, and there was almost no space when they arrived.
Walking fast, borrowing water faster, the boulder dropped by the rope can graze its tail, and it seems to be unscathed. was so angry that Yu Fei stomped his feet, causing a sigh.
The taste of regret has just risen, and before it has disappeared, the surprise has crept in, and on the water, the boat that has escaped the catastrophe is actually spinning, rushing downstream with the current.
"Haha, it must have hit the rudder!" Yu Fei is overjoyed, like the expression of the lucky winner of the jackpot who has read the wrong number after rechecking.
The loss of the rudder means that the ship loses the ability to control its direction, and there is only one fate, which is to wait to be swallowed by the sea 'waves'.
The power of the slap rod is amazing, the canvas is not afraid of fire and is even more terrifying, and the remaining two fighting ships and a boat represent that the Yali pear is very large, indicating that the Celestial Empire has a great admiration for the 36 schemes.
Running away?
No 'door'!
Yu Fei beat the drum and ordered to hunt down the poor and expand the results of the battle.
Will be crazy, crazy nest. After winning the first battle, the sailors on the "Yufei" became madmen, their faces distorted by excitement, their eyes red from the thorns, and the order of the lord was exactly what they wanted, and no matter how the wind and the water were against the water, they could not stop their enthusiasm and madness.
"Yufei" continued to move forward bravely, vowing to carry out the pursuit to the end.
In terms of speed alone, Yu Fei has little chance of catching up with the enemy ship in front of him, after all, the power systems of both sides are artificial, and they are equal to each other.
Yu Fei had a lot of eyes, and seeing that he couldn't eat the 'meat' after the stupid chase, he promptly ordered the stone thrower and the winch crossbow to go into battle.
In addition to the coolies paddling on the bottom and the technicians who control the sails and rudders, there are more than 200 combatants on the deck.
Limited by the 'shooting' realm, there is actually only one stone thrower and one winch crossbow that can operate.
The egg-wrenching attack began, and it 'shot' several rounds, either too far or too close, and there was also an offset, and the splashed water 'splash' didn't even reach the opponent's boat.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! Loaded with counterweights, it's still a waste! ”
Yu Fei stomped his feet and cursed angrily.
In view of the shortcomings of the trebuchet exposed during the training, Jingshan proposed to equip the trebuchet with weight.
At the beginning, the stone throwers brought by the big cannibals when they attacked Ningyuan City had counterweights, and later the armed courtyard also imitated a few cottages, and the accuracy was not bad, and Jingshan remembered it very deeply.
The rock-throwing mechanism is simple, it is nothing more than adding a lever on a horizontal bar, the lever has a long arm and a short arm, the long arm is loaded with stones, and the short arm is added to the weight such as pig iron or lead as a counterweight, when the 'shot', the long arm is pulled back to almost horizontal with a winch, and the stone bag is quickly lifted when it is suddenly released. When the hammer is completely lowered, the projectile flies out of the magazine at an angle of about 45 degrees. With his memory, Jingshan drew a rough sketch, and the ingenious craftsman understood it at a glance, and then installed a new type of stone throwing machine on all the buildings.
It is not a new technology junk, even if it is "sophisticated" equipment, it needs well-trained people to 'operate' it in order to exert its due power. The Bohai fleet has only been established for half a year, and the sailors are still very young.
The size of the fighting ship is one size smaller, so there is no stone thrower, and the range and power of the winch crossbow are relatively insufficient, so it cannot threaten the "Yufei", and only has the share of sparring.
Another big rock fell from the sky, this time much closer, and the smashed 'waves' and 'flowers' splashed on the side of a fighting ship.
Perhaps the Bohai rebellion on the fighting ship was scared, and from Yu Fei's point of view, the fighting ship obviously had a rudder dodging action - to the left.
The accident happened, which is a tragedy in the eyes of Bohai people, but a comedy for Yufei. The two fighting ships collided together, and the stern touched the bow.
The result of the collision was severe, and the stern was damaged and the rudder was damaged, and it became a headless fly; There was an extra hole under the damaged waterline in the bow of the ship, and it became a super snail.
The fish flew overjoyed, like a shark smelling blood, and went straight to the target.
The lesson of the previous car is very terrifying, the rebels in the Bohai Sea looked at the closer and closer slapping rod, and their hearts were 'furious', no one dared to resist, and the crew of the last fighting ship rushed to perform diving.
"Boom!"
The rod was slapped, the boulder fell, and the fighting ship was firmly broken into two.
In the blink of an eye, a large whirlpool appeared in the place where the fighting ship was, mercilessly absorbing the broken wood on the surface of the water and the sailors who had not had time to escape.
Next!
The fish flew out with excitement. Sail towards the last turtle-speed fighter.
Surrender?
Yu Fei looked inexplicably at the few pieces of white cloth that rose from the rebellion in the Bohai Sea.
"His grandmother's, he can't be surrendered, kill him!"
Yu Fei was not 'tempted' or 'confused', and ordered viciously.
The boulder fell, accompanied by desperate cries for help, and another whirlpool on the river...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
