Text 566 Resistance Battle
The boats slowly set off from the outer port of Hakata, and the fishermen who were originally standing far away on the shore, hoping to go out to sea to fish today, watched the boats of Datang suddenly start and slowly sailed to the sea, one by one with happy faces, and even some fishermen have begun to run to tell each other, planning to wait for the boat to go to sea, and then leave the sea to fish.
Li Hong didn't have time to pay attention to them, holding a telescope in his hand, carefully observing the three sneaky warships of the Japanese Kingdom.
Since three warships were set out, there must have been a master and a secondary, and there must have been two warships to protect the other warship.
How can we get closer to them and find out which one is the main warship?
Between thoughts, the ship has smoothly sailed out of the outermost port, slowly into the sea, the sound of waves on both sides of the ship suddenly sounded, as the speed is getting faster and faster, the waves on both sides of the ship are getting more and more urgent.
The first three Wa warships have been going north along the coast, so for the Lou ships chasing them, they have a great speed advantage, after all, the coastline has less wind and waves, whether it is for the Lou ships or the Wa warships, it reduces the risk of high winds and waves, and the driving is much smoother.
In less than half an hour, all the soldiers on the building ship were already ready for battle, and the soldiers such as stones, molten iron, long hooks, swords and axes, etc., were all ready.
A loud sound of arrows sounded in the sky above the three warships in the distance ahead, which immediately caused a panic among the soldiers standing on the deck of the warships of the Japanese Kingdom.
As more and more people looked behind them, the three warships began to become chaotic, and the soldiers and sailors ran quickly, apparently to speed up.
"Female?" Li Hong put down the binoculars, and just now, from the first warship of the Japanese Kingdom, he found a woman: "Who are they trying to protect?" The Japanese people are chic, are there no men, and women should be allowed to protect them? ”
"Or maybe they deliberately put the main warship at the front in order to confuse the public? Use the two warships behind as cover. Wutian finally said correctly.
"You can teach, and you finally know how to use your brain." Li Hong patted the shoulder of his inability and signaled to continue accelerating.
The two sails on the building ship are already full, and the direction changes with the wind, and sailing against the wind in the sea is basically a zigzag, using the wind to hit the sails, and then acting on the hull.
Therefore, it is very difficult to sail against the wind, and it is basically impossible to make the ship move in a straight line, and now as the sea breeze gets stronger and stronger, not only the speed of the ship slows down, but also the three warships of the Wa Kingdom have to slow down at this time.
The zigzag shape is even less advantageous for the warships of the Wa Kingdom, but for the pursuing ships, the advantages are becoming more and more obvious.
As the zigzag went bigger, the Lou ship and the Wa warship finally became two roughly parallel lines under the speed difference, although according to the distance of the route, the distance between the two ships did not get much closer.
However, due to the fact that they are also walking, when the two boats are also going sideways, the horizontal distance between the two is getting closer and closer, so that there is an unexpected effect for Li Hong.
When it was the closest, the long hook on the building ship almost stretched out to reach the last warship of the Wa Kingdom.
But with the zigzag turn, the two ships began to widen laterally again after missing the nearest distance.
Therefore, Li Hong had no choice but to change the speed, so that the speed of his ship would be the same as that of the last warship of the Wa Kingdom, and strive to destroy the warship of the Wa State before the next zigzag.
"Where's my blindfold? Hurry up and give it to me! Cast the crossbow! Li Hong took the blindfold and put it on his eyes, and at the same time ordered to look at the warships of the Japanese Kingdom that were getting closer and closer to him laterally, and ordered to start attacking.
Similarly, both ships were equipped with furnaces for molten iron to smelt iron balls, and the warships of the Wa Kingdom could not reach even the closest Datanglou ships because of their short range.
The Datang Lou ship is because of the small reserve of iron balls, it cannot be launched at will, and can only be launched under the premise of absolute certainty, so this pursuit battle is lifeless, but it is like a game of chasing around.
However, fortunately, the powerful bow and crossbow provided Li Hong with a technical advantage, and after three close battles, the warship of the Japanese Kingdom was originally tilted with the wind when sailing against the wind, and the hull naturally tilted with the wind, becoming more inclined and crumbling.
It wasn't until a red and black iron ball landed accurately on the warship of the Wa Kingdom that the first warship was scrapped, as puffs of smoke emerged from the warship of the Wa Kingdom with an increasing inclination.
The ship laboriously circled a smaller zigzag, and when the hull was about to tilt forty-five degrees, it finally narrowed the distance between it and the second warship.
At the same time, the iron hook issued by the bow and crossbow, like Hai Dongqing's powerful and cold iron claws, firmly grasped the last Japanese warship, and under the huge pull of the building ship, the smoking Japanese warship was immediately torn apart, and the tattered deck and scattered hull were scattered on the huge sea like the toppled building blocks.
The second warship was also used by Li Hong to deal with the first warship, and in less than two zigzags, his warship was successfully scattered on the sea, and as the billowing smoke rose, blocking the view of the ship, Li Hong had to start ordering the soldiers with knives and axes, and began to drive away the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom who were surged under the ship by the waves at the side of the ship, asking for help.
Bypassing the billowing smoke, Li Hong raised the telescope again, and from time to time there were a few terrible screams in his ears.
"! The wind has stopped! Li Hong looked up at the two sails above his head, and then at the last warship of the Japanese Kingdom that had turned back into a straight line, and when he destroyed the other two ships, he widened the distance between himself and himself again.
Lawless looked at Li Hong's somewhat anxious expression, and the two of them went down to the cabin along the side of the ship, one left and one right, and ordered the soldiers who rowed to speed up!
Then, like an ape, he didn't know where he came from, and ran to the sail soldiers, looking at the same big sails, although there were only two, but how could they be so slower than Suzaku and Xuanwu in speed.
Li Hong looked coldly at the lawlessness After saying a few words to the sail soldiers, he actually folded his hands together, as if he was praying for two sails, and he couldn't wait to go up immediately and throw these two ignorant goods into the sea to feed the sharks!
"Let go of Meng Chong! Put half of it down, catch up with their ships, and thwart their progress, stupid! Li Hong held the horn in his hand, after the two skirmishes just now, he was now wearing a pair of shorts, standing barefoot on the bow of the boat, and yelled at Lawlessness.
Lawless was stunned for a moment, Xuan even jumped down from a high place, and began to release seven Meng Chong into the water with the other soldiers on the ship, and then personally led the soldiers to chase the last Wa warship with Meng Chong's small, fast and flexible speed.
The improved Meng Chong was similar to the one-man sailing ship of the previous generation, one sail was erected in the center of the ship, and dozens of soldiers sat on both sides, putting down the bows and crossbows and spears in their hands and replacing them with wooden oars, and then the two people controlled the sails and rushed towards the Japanese warship at great speed.
After Li Hong watched the seven Meng Chong leave, he picked up the telescope in his hand to observe the warship of the Japanese Kingdom, and at this time, the figure of the woman who disappeared in a flash just now appeared more in the field of vision.
From the expressions that flashed several times, it can be seen that the woman seems to be the leader of the three warships of the Japanese Kingdom, and now her warship is under her command, accelerating and preparing for war in an orderly manner.
When the seven Meng Chong were not far from the warships of the Japanese Kingdom, they suddenly dispersed, and the iron balls on the Japanese warships smashed down from the air, and then fell on the surface of the sea and raised a puff of white smoke, but not even a single iron ball hit Meng Chong.
Meng Chong, like the pirates of the previous generation intercepted the cargo ship, surrounded the Japanese warship from a distance, and from time to time someone took out a bow and crossbow and began to shoot at the soldiers on the ship, trying to prevent the Japanese warship from continuing to accelerate forward.
"I'll go, and there's even a slap stick." Li Hong watched as the head-sized iron ball fell into the water like rain, but it did not cause substantial damage to Meng Chong.
The most thrilling one was just splashing a soldier on the face of the storm, and the rest was completely out of reach.
But what he didn't expect was that when he saw a Meng Chong dodging the attack of the iron ball, dodging the bow and arrows and approaching the warship of the Japanese Kingdom, it was slapped right by a slapstick, and everyone on Meng Chong was unprepared, and was actually overturned by Meng Chong, and dozens of people on it all fell into the sea at once.
However, in this way, it still effectively blocked the speed of the warship of the Wa Kingdom, so that the ship of the building was about to approach the warship of the Wa Kingdom, and it could immediately enter the range of the iron ball.
The remaining six Meng Chong are no longer close to the warships of the Wa State at this time, they are waiting for the response of the Lou ships, otherwise, if they get closer, they will still be overturned by the patter of the Wa State.
The strange thing is that the slapstick of the warship of the Japanese Kingdom is not like the conventional four corners of the cabin, but is placed horizontally at the four corners, which makes Meng Chong not notice it at all when he hit the past, and when he noticed, the clapstick had already smashed down from the bottom up.
Time passed slowly, and with Li Hong's order, a wave of four red and black iron balls flew out from the back end of the ship.
"Your sister!" Li Hong scolded angrily, but he didn't expect that in the end, only one of them smashed on the stern of the Japanese ship, and the other three all fell into the water.
But then, with the vibration of the stern, the two levers behind were all ignited, and with the lure of Xiao Kuailing's Meng Chong, the two levers broke apart at the moment of lifting after shooting back and forth twice.
"Let Meng Chong go again!" Li Hong looked at the remaining six Meng Chong, and all ran towards the stern of the Japanese warship that had no close defense lever, and the bow of the Japanese warship actually released two small boats, and quickly abandoned the ship with the only woman on the boat.
