Chapter 317: Imperial Naval Army

Chu Nan and Chen Zhong were on their way to Linzi at this time in disguise, but the two did not choose to go to Linzi by land, but spared a lot of circles and finally chose to start by water.

This hardwood warship is covered in iron armor, and the sails on the hull are more than ten feet tall enough to carry more than 300 soldiers of the Empire, and there are huge offensive equipment such as ballistas and tilters on the bow and hull.

The boat has double cleats, with soldiers on top and oarsmen on bottom. The building ship is built with a triple building, with a female wall and a battle grid. In order to increase the combat capability at sea, the warships of the Qin Empire Navy were equipped with two large combat equipment: a repeater and a transfer machine. The repeater weighs 75 pounds, the arrow cluster used is 2.3 meters long, can fire 60 rounds in a row, is operated by 10 people, and can be maneuverable. The tail of the arrow is tied to a rope and can be retracted by a roller after firing. The 1.38-meter-long transmitter is mounted on a rotating wooden frame and is operated by two people, and the shooter can manipulate its rotating part to change the direction of the shot.

How could such a behemoth farmer be an opponent.

"It's just a pity that there are not many such buildings and ships in the entire empire."

It was General Gongshao, the commander of the ship, who spoke with his arms on the hull of the ship and watched the two men.

"It must be because of the occupation of Langya County."

Gong Shao nodded, because Langya County is also one of the few bases in the empire to manufacture warships, and with the fall of Langya County, the entire workshop has been completely occupied by the farmer, which is one of the reasons why the farmer chose to occupy Langya County as soon as possible.

Li You had burned down all the workshops when the omen appeared in Langya County, and if the peasants wanted to restore the entire workshop, it would be impossible to catch up with the empire's sailors in ten years, and this was also the time left for the empire.

At the mention of Li Youchu Nan's gaze dimmed.

"It's just that I don't know if the general is loyal to Hu Hai or Fusu Gongzi." Chu Nan said bluntly.

Gong Shao looked at Chu Nan meaningfully, and a smile flashed on the corner of his lips.

"Whether it is Your Majesty or the Prince of Fusu, they are all part of the empire, and of course the imperial navy is only loyal to the empire."

Gong Shao did not answer.

......

......

The calm sea breeze blew quietly and scattered Chu Nan's long hair, and more than a dozen black spots on the blue sea in the distance were heading towards the warship at high speed.

Chu Nan's pupils shrunk Where are the black dots but the water army that was pieced together from the temporary products of the farmer, and some black and white flags were dazzling in the scorching sun.

The entire warship had woken up at the sound of the horn, and countless Qin troops in black armor had come out of the cabin, and the arrow clusters on the crossbow cart had been tightened, just waiting for the general's order.

Chu Nan looked into the wind, the so-called warships of the peasant family were at least twice as small as the imperial navy, but they were only better in number, and they crossed the sea and followed closely behind those small boats.

The peasants rushed towards the Imperial Navy, and their operations were very orderly, leaving only a few warships in front to block the Qin warships, while the rest scattered and cruising around in search of an opportunity to attack.

Obviously, they have fought with the Imperial Navy many times, and they have advanced and retreated.

The clusters of arrows on the caterpillar exude cold, and this two-meter-long machine crossbow is enough to tear any enemy apart.

Different from the fierce battle on land, there was more of a crossbow battle between the two sides, countless arrows shot towards their respective warships like black spots of rain, and from time to time there was the sound of being hit by arrows to the ground, as well as the sound of painful cries, the sword intent in Chu Nan's hand was exhausted, and he didn't know how many arrows had been cut off.

The arrows on the Qin army's crossbow carts not only killed the disciples of the peasant family, but even pierced the weaker warships, which gradually sank into the water and disappeared.

Chu Nan looked at the fierce battles everywhere and had a better understanding of the empire's naval army, if he could master such a naval army, he didn't know how much more convenient it would be to go south.

The casualties of the peasant family gradually increased, and the number of casualties of the Qin army was not small, and what was more dangerous was that the peasant family had a steady stream of reinforcements and they only had such a warship, and the elephant would only be gradually bitten to death by ants if they stayed here.

"It doesn't seem like it's the way to go." Chu Nan killed a peasant disciple and came to Gong Shao.

Gong Shao looked at several peasant warships in front of the bow of the ship, and said in a deep voice: "Rush over and sink them." ”

Chu Nan understood what kind of determination this represented.

The Qin soldiers on the warship did not hesitate, the sails on the ship were completely erected, and the entire warship broke through the wind and waves like a giant beast sailing in the sea and headed towards the farmer's warship.

In front of the Qin warship was a bronze angle of attack, enough to smash anything in its way.

Chu Nan felt the wind and waves on the sea, and used the sword in his hand to insert it into the hardwood in front of him to fix his body.

How could those peasant warships expect the Qin army to attack in such a way, the warships that could not dodge were slammed into the sides, the hull shattered, and the seawater poured into the cabin. Many peasant disciples even abandoned the ship and fled, and the entire Qin army warship let out a burst of cheers.
