On Ruan Xiaoqi's side, the officers and men on the twenty gunboats were already boiling. Sriwijaya is an enemy country!

"Brothers, work hard. Destroy the Three Buddhas, and the time has come to grab money and rob the girls! The captains of the gunboats also shouted to encourage their men.

More than half of these people have been wandering in the South Seas for a long time, and they have long heard of the richness of the Three Buddhas, and the other new gunboat officers and men, who have been nurtured by others, are also full of news of the prosperity of the Three Buddhas.

If you don't start now, when?

I've already said that. If you don't give benefits to others, why should people work hard for you? The ideal thing is inspiring, but it doesn't eat or drink. Even during the Liangshanbo period, Emperor Lu knew that the ideal was just a gimmick, and real money and food were the truth.

Of course, in order to train a truly strong army, this "ideal" as a gimmick is really not to be disgraced.

Even on the bright side, you have to pay special attention to this kind of gimmick, whether the soldiers believe it or not, you must create a kind of style of a king and a heavenly soldier on the face. It's like the soldiers of the lighthouse country in later generations, standing high under the banner of 'cooking', and I am the king's teacher. But really? Whether it's the neon girl's two or three things, or Smecta's abuse and killing, or even the internal ha, such as the tail hook annual meeting, and the fluttering immortals, aren't all its dirty things covered up in the era of underdeveloped information?

Therefore, gimmicks and ideals must be adhered to. Because they are consistent with China's universal values.

For the foreign sailors who were destined to undertake arduous tasks in the future, Emperor Lu had faintly instilled a wildness in them from the beginning of its establishment. The spoils of war and the rewards of the battle, under a layer of gorgeous clothing, the officers and soldiers who were stimulated by the interests of Hongguoguo were all red-eyed.

Just like Lu Qi's earlier efforts to crack down on illegal profiteers who evade taxes and evade taxes, as well as the property registration of the households and the people after the Great Purge, the investigation and punishment of those who conceal and report falsehoods will be investigated and punished, and all or more than half of the assets will be confiscated if they enter the labor camp for one to ten years, and all or more than half of their assets will be confiscated, even if they only miss a small amount of taxes and hide a small amount of land. In addition, the people who denounce illegal businessmen and landlords are generally rewarded with high rewards, and half of the income is generally confiscated.

This is a bit like an edict from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Once it was released to the world, it caused a lot of excitement. I don't know how many people have made a windfall by letting the lawless people suffer from the seedlings. With the emergence of one case after another, the tax revenue of the Lu Qi court continued to increase, and the registration of households and property became smoother.

It's just because the world is too unfriendly to their merchants and gentry. A thief looks at whoever is a thief, how can people stand it day after day?

And why is the enthusiasm of the people so high? Isn't it because of the benefits of the red fruit?

Now the officers and men on the gunboat are like this, everyone seems to have a stove lit in their hearts, and they want to grab a handful!

At this point, the wildness of the officers and men of the Outer Sea Division of the Qi Army, after being nurtured by the waters of Fujian and Guangdong and the Battle of South Vietnam, is much more wild than that of the Army.

For a while, everyone was engrossed, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle!

Tuopan Yali is also wild, on the three-acre land of Malacca, he relied on the momentum of the Three Buddhas, was a fierce rush, and repeatedly succeeded. He was simply young and vigorous, developed a hollow-eyed temper, and looked down on the Chinese fleet that came from thousands of miles away.

It was the sailors of Nachola who all came to the South Seas along the west coast of Bagan, but the Chinese were like merchants who went straight through the South China Sea - it was impossible to follow Nanyue and Champa to touch the South Seas, otherwise they would have gotten the news a long time ago. After wandering on the sea for such a long time, how can there be any combat power left? Even the iron-beaten heroes have become soft-footed shrimps.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The warships on both sides were getting closer and closer, and when the distance was reduced to about a mile, the bow of the Tokai was deflected, and the slender hull was aimed diagonally at the Sriwijaya sailors, and continued to move forward until the distance was about 100 zhang.

A platoon of gunwales hit.

This distance is already the closest distance, and if you get closer, you may be attacked by the crossbow arrows of the Srivijaya people.

In a fight at sea, close contact is inevitable, but before that, the combat mode of the gunboat is to drain the opponent's blood first.

Tobeyari saw that the Tokai suddenly turned its head and leaned sideways to aim at him, feeling very confused.

In the warship warfare of this era, there are only three general outlines of the moves. The first is the ramming, followed by the crossbow shooting, and finally the jumping hand-to-hand combat. Like the Tokai, isn't it looking for death?

But the Dhabila behind him was already shouting, "Artillery! ”

Isn't the Chinese's legendary divine weapon loaded on the bow and stern of the ship? In this era when news spread slowly, the Sriwijaya people had heard of the name of artillery, but they never had a specific concept of it. Only a general idea of its distribution location and combat methods.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The loud sound of the sound, like a muffled thunder rolling across the sky, eight chain bullets spewed out of the muzzle one after another, under the action of the driving force generated after the explosion of gunpowder, the muzzle of the cannon quickly rushed out, and then the two iron bullets connected together will be told to rotate, and under the action of centrifugal force, they will burst out with a powerful force.

If it can hit the mast, the iron chain is entangled, and the iron bullet is dragged down, and no matter how thick the mast is, it may not be able to withstand such a blow.

The fast-spinning chain bullet can easily cut a person, which is a terrifying weapon, but because its hit rate is very poor, the range is far inferior to the cannonball, the biggest effect is reflected in the killing of the canvas, the target of the mast is too small, and the hit rate is very worrying. Unless you have already occupied an absolute advantage, you will greatly reduce the distance between you and the enemy, and concentrate your artillery fire.

The current Donghai is not as lucky as that one-shot achievement. Eight chain bullets hit half of them, but they only knocked out two window-sized openings in the sails of the leading Topan Arri, and then the ship's side cracked two small openings.

There was a burst of exclamations on the opposite warship, whether it was the tear in the sail or the gap in the side of the ship, which made them very confused.

At such a distance, their ballistas haven't yet reached the attack range.

Without hesitation, the Tokai pulled the sail and turned the rudder away, like a swordfish, drawing a perfect arc on the sea. Quickly cut to the back of the Thabi Yari. At the same time, a small detachment of three gunboats also approached Topan Yari.

Tuobila was shocked, and almost without thinking, he ordered in a loud voice, "The whole army is attacking!" He now has full certainty that these warships flying the red flag of the landing Qi in front of him are the sharp weapons of the Nanyang Naval Division across the South China Sea - gunboats.

The course of this sea battle in front of him was also clear before his eyes. Entangle the gunboats in front of you yourself, and then let the large forces attack, and defeat the main force behind the enemy as soon as possible, so that even if the gunboats with only twenty ships have great ability, they can only bear the end of defeat.

While the Sriwijaya front army was paddling like crazy, a sampan boat was pulling its sails to report to the main fleet. The Three Buddhas have used the sailors to dominate Malacca for hundreds of years, so naturally they have a set of contact methods, but that is too general. When necessary, a liaison ship is needed to report the news, just like a large army fighting on the road, no matter how clear the drum and trumpet flag is, the herald is indispensable.

"Boom, boom, boom, ......boom" A series of cannon sounds rang out, and three gunboats approached.

The spinnaker was hit one after another, and Tarbeyari's body shook violently, allowing him to stand unsteadily at this moment after being through the storms and waves of the sea, and squatted on the deck. The boat beneath his feet was hit by a series of cannonballs, and before he could come to his senses, he saw a shadow covering him. When he looked up, he saw that the main mast was like a mountain, and it was pressed down with the sound of dry wood breaking with a 'crackling' sound.

"Buddha, the main mast is about to fall!" There was a cry of terror from the deck, followed by a loud rumbling, and the huge dhows shook violently, and everyone could not stand still, and they all staggered to the deck. It is far more powerful than a hit bullet in the right place.

The salvo of three gunboats made the ship of Tarpanari no longer lucky to escape, with a creaking screeching sound, and a chain bullet hit its main mast!

The mast of a large dhower is probably thicker than the thigh of an ordinary strong man, but its breaking, chain bullet is just a trigger, and the force of the sea breeze. When the mast that was being blown by the wind was hit by a chain bullet, and the iron bullet wrapped around the mast, it was like a high-rise building that had been hollowed out of its foundation, and the result was only to collapse.

It's as if you were struck by a divine thunder falling from the sky! The whole spinnale was lying on its stomach.

Topianari was no exception to climb down on the deck, he looked up and watched the mainmast fall, although fortunately the mast did not hit him, but the canvas that fell with the mast made him feel the wind urgently, and he could not breathe for a moment. Unfortunately, however, the mainmast did not fall to the side side, but fell straight to the bow, and the entire ship lost its combat effectiveness.

His head was groggy. What kind of weapon is this? Is this the artillery that terrifies the Celestials? This is really a weapon used by the devil!

Topan Ari drew his knife and cut through the sails, and struggled to his feet, no longer proud, but gritted his teeth and looked at the mess of the deck, and shouted to the soldiers, telling them to cut off the mast at once, and throw the thick mainmast off the ship. Otherwise, they will be put on the board to be slaughtered.

"Well fought, well fought......" Ruan Xiaoqi shouted happily from the rear, who witnessed the whole process of the shelling just now. The shelling of the Tokai was also under his eyes, and he also lamented that the artillery fire was too small, the range was limited, and the accuracy was even worse. Now immediately shouting loudly.

In fact, the effect of the shelling was quite unsatisfactory, the bombardment of the four gunboats was at a distance of about 100 zhang, and the hit rate was not good, but it was lucky to break one of the opponent's main mast, and this main mast was coincidentally pressed straight on the bow. Most of the other shells missed, only a third or a quarter of the shells landed on the hull, making holes one after another, and some of the sailors were killed and wounded by flying pieces of wood. But the extent of the damage to the entire ship is doubtful.

Therefore, Ruan Xiaoqi is looking forward to the mature version of the sail battleship at this time, if the ship division can build the kind of sail battleship that the emperor said can carry more than 100 cannons, the spinnaker ship in front of him needs one round to be beaten into a hornet's nest.

Therefore, the current gunboats still have to fight the enemy in close combat with arrows and crossbows. Only by narrowing the distance can the tiger squat cannon and the earth-shattering thunder play a role, the cannonballs can be hit more accurately, and the scattered bullets can really come in handy.

Although it will cause them to suffer some casualties themselves. However, today's Qi army naval division has not yet developed to the point of fighting without casualties.
