Chapter 81: Hot Air Balloons
Zhao Gang stood on the deck, obviously found that the strange warship he was riding was much faster than other warships sailing on the sea, since the shipyard of Tianjin Wei was completed, it began to carry out a thorough transformation and repair of all the existing warships of the Ming Dynasty, and now the sea surface of Liaodong Bay is no longer as deserted as it was back then, countless warships with the Daming flag set off from Tianjin Wei, along the coastline all the way to Laizhou, Dengzhou, Weihai, and finally across the entire Bohai Sea, to Phi Island, in along the double island, Changsheng Island, Lianyun Island, Shanhaiguan returned to Tianjin Bay, and the entire fleet was cruising in circles around Liaodong Bay. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Cruising in a circle in Liaodong Bay, that is Chongzhen personally issued a holy decree, the sailor has nothing to do with the shore, whether it is windy and rainy, or stormy waves, all warships must go to sea on time to cruise, issued such a holy decree Chongzhen is also forced to be helpless, the great Ming Dynasty, now what is actually a regular sailor, for Chongzhen this is absolutely unacceptable, the elite sailor can not be trained on the shore, only keep sailing in the sea, can encounter all kinds of problems, solve problems, If the sailors of the Ming Dynasty can't even overcome the bad weather of a small Liaodong Bay, how can they rely on such sailors to compete with European countries on the ocean in the future.
With the launching of various new warships and the completion of the maintenance of various old-fashioned warships, the whole Liaodong Bay is now much more lively, and the sea is full of ships coming and going, some cruising around Liaodong Bay, some transporting supplies between various islands, and all kinds of fast boats used for communication.
Zhao Gang's luck is very good, today there happened to be a new type of pulp ship tested on the sea passing by Changsheng Island, and when he returned, he happened to bring a lot of wounded people on the island back to the three customs, but, not everyone drank Zhao Gang's luck was so good, he retired alive on the battlefield and did not lack arms and legs to save the integrity of his body, most of the wounded were resting in their cabins at this time, and there were only three or three wounded and a few sailors on the deck.
At dusk, the warship slowly docked at the three customs, but the port of the three customs is more peculiar, directly is a section of the Great Wall stretching into the sea, there is a huge enemy platform on this side of the Great Wall facing the sea at the end, there is a huge suspension bridge below the enemy platform, the warship is parked below, after verifying the identity, the soldiers on the enemy platform began to overtake the winch, slowly put down the suspension bridge, the personnel on the ship entered the enemy platform along the suspension bridge placed on the side of the ship, and entered the three customs along the detour of the Great Wall.
After the drawbridge was lowered, the sailors and soldiers on board moved over a wooden slope. All people and chariots can walk up the suspension bridge through this slope, and Zhao Ang walked on this suspension bridge, as a soldier's instinct, he immediately observed the defense of this enemy platform. Although Zhao Gang couldn't see the specific situation above, as far as he observed, there were traces of the existence of bed crossbows above the enemy platform, according to the current ordnance configuration of the Ming Dynasty, where there was a bed crossbow, there was a divine rocket, and there was this big killing weapon, and ordinary warships really didn't dare to approach easily.
Suddenly, a dark shadow in the sky caught Zhao Gang's attention, and after a closer look, Zhao Gang's jaw was almost frightened off, only to see a huge spherical object floating in the air, with fire coming out below, and a long cable connecting the enemy platform.
"What is this, actually floating in the sky" Zhao Gang, who saw such a scene for the first time, was surprised and almost fell to the ground.
"Brother is stupid, you are from Lord Lu's side, it won't be long before Jiangdong Town will be equipped with this thing, what is this called, what is it called a hot ball" The two soldiers guarding the entrance of the enemy platform, one of them joked to Zhao Gang that the people who can come over as a warship are all their own people, and outsiders can't get on the warship, let alone directly dock on the enemy platform.
"Hot air balloon, how many times have you bragged, why can't you remember" For his comrade-in-arms who loves to brag, this is nothing, but this guy is stupid and can't blow well, if he meets an acquaintance, he will inevitably be ridiculed, thinking of this, another soldier covered his forehead, how could he meet such a comrade-in-arms.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's a hot air balloon, this thing is amazing, you can fly into the sky with a few people, you must know that at present, the entire Ming Dynasty is only equipped with large-scale equipment and use of our army Qin Liangyu" said with a smug face, now all the new weapons in the Ming Dynasty are the first to be equipped with the Three Customs Corps controlled by Qin Liangyu, followed by the Jiangdong Army that was loaded and shipped to Lu Xiangsheng in Jiangdong Town, and finally the new army of Sun Chuanting in the capital, of course, when the test begins, it must be the new army that tests first, It's just that Chongzhen ordered to give priority to equipping the armies of Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng, who faced the Jurchens.
"But why do you want to tie it to the city wall with a rope" What puzzled Zhao Gang was why he had to be fixed on the city wall since he had flown up.
"You are stupid, this thing is floating in the sky, what if you don't tie it up, what if the wind blows away" The braggart soldier looked at Zhao Gang with a disgusted face, which obviously meant to say, how could there be such a stupid person.
"Me, then what's the use of saying that this thing can't move if it floats in the sky" Zhao Gang was half angry by this fool's contemptuous eyes, and subconsciously fought back, but immediately regretted it, didn't this idiot's question give the other party sarcasm.
"Observe the enemy's situation, fly so high that the enemy is coming, you can see it clearly from a few miles away" After speaking, he looked at Zhao Gang with a serious face, "It seems, you are really stupid"
"Then you say that he flies so high, how can he communicate with the ground" was stunned and said that he was stupid, of course Zhao Gang was not convinced, and was still trying to resist.
"Say you're stupid, you still don't believe it, the sound of the arrow knows no, there is a careful bed crossbow on the hot air balloon, it is specially equipped with this kind of sound arrow, that arrow shoots three miles away can be heard clearly, where is the enemy shooting, listen to the sound to know which direction there is an enemy" After speaking, he also had an expression that you are a dirt bun.
Now Zhao Gang really wants to slap himself twice, why do you say that you have nothing to do with this kind of stupid thing. Well, now, being pulled into his logic by this fool, and being tortured and killed by him with his vast experience.
