Section 851 Water War (2)
The hit rate of fire bombs on bumpy water is very low, and in fact, the level of fire bombs played by big cannibals is really not high. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if it was low, the blind cat would catch a dead mouse and hit the Tang ship, but it was blocked by the protective baffle on the hull!
Even if a puddle of oil falls on the Don ship, it will only burn, but it can't set the boat on fire!
The stone bullet smashed on the baffle, and the metal sound made it clear that it was an iron ship!
Not only that, the stone bullet smashed on the hull, and there was also a metallic sound, and it turned out that the Tang ship was an iron ship!
This surprised the great cannibals, how could it be that an iron ship could sail on the water?
Of course, they would not have thought that when steam trains appeared, how could there be fewer steam ships!
Wei Xi's steamships used paddle wheels, i.e., wheels on both sides of the ship, which were propelled by steam engines.
In order to seize supremacy on the water, the valley of the two rivers is where steamships come into play.
The Tang people used the train to transport the parts of the steamship from the far east, reassemble them, and suddenly put them into the battlefield, killing the big cannibals and leaving them behind!
However, it is said that the Tang ship is made of metal, but it is not so high-tech, it is just that the wooden ship is nailed with metal plates.
Despite this, the stone bullets could not be smashed, and the arrows were all bounced away, which had already surprised the great cannibal.
The two sides got closer and closer, and when the first boat of the two sides was less than thirty meters away, the Tang boat played a "big acrobatics", it came to a big maneuver, the hull of the ship turned sharply to the right, and the starboard side almost touched the water!
This kind of maneuver is beyond the imagination of the big cannibal, and it is impossible to play such a sharp turn,
A scratching oarboat can't do it, and a sailboat can't do it.
If they can't do it, it doesn't mean that the steamship can't do it, the level of the Tang people's shipbuilding is high, the speed of the paddle steamer is faster, the rudder effect is more obvious, and it is also smooth.
When the Tang boat ran to an almost vertical position, it made a sharp turn to the left and brazenly crashed into the port side of the big ship!
It frightened the commander of the Great Eater Ship by juggling like this, and although he ordered to turn to the left and try to meet the bow of the Tang Ship, where could he have such a mechanical power!
"Peng!"
With a loud bang, the bow of the Tang boat slammed into the forward position on the port side of the big food boat.
The whole ship shook violently, and suddenly to the right side, at least a small half of the people on the boat fell into the water, and the oarsmen in the cabin rolled together like gourds.
To the shock of the big cannibals watching the battle, the Tang ship, which had been embedded in the hull of the big eater, retreated and quickly broke away from the contact between the two sides.
Damn the Don ship actually has this function!
Reverse the oar, thus bringing yourself out of the dilemma of crashing together.
Some of the great cannibals groaned, "God, how is this possible! ”
A creepy hole appeared in the hull of the Great Eater, and the river water poured into it in a large area, and soon the waterline of the Great Eater Ship was lowered.
The ship does not have a watertight compartment, so much water is poured into the hull that everything is irreversible!
The big food boats that became victims came one after another, even if it was bow to bow, it was the Tang boat that had the upper hand.
I saw that the bows of the two boats collided together, and after shaking violently, the Tang boat flexibly retreated, and the collision angle on the bow of the big food boat actually disappeared, and the river rushed sharply to the oarsmen inside, and there was chaos in the cabin, and the oarsmen and officers fled to the upper deck in a hurry, but there was no time!
The ships on both sides faced each other fiercely, and for a while, everyone was very happy when they collided with the boat.
When the Tang ships broke away one after another, everyone knew that the big food ship was defeated!
Compared with the big food boat, the Tang boat is obviously stronger, and it uses the high speed to knock over most of the big food boat!
The rest of the oar-scratching boats rowed backwards in fright, trying to retreat into the main formation of the Great Food Fleet.
But he fetched water for the paddle wheel of the Tang ship, quickly caught up, and a tragedy occurred immediately.
More than 20 oar-scratching boats sank or flooded too much in a short period of time and could not move, which shocked the big water army.
At this time, the sailboat of the Great Water Eater Army slowly met the Tang ship that rushed in high spirits, and the sailboat kept throwing stone and fire bombs, and firing bursts of arrows.
But they all blocked the baffle on the Tang ship, and it was in vain.
The Tang boats quickly approached, and began their sharp turning maneuver, using the collision angle of the bow of the ship, slammed into the left and right sides of the big food boat, and knocked out one big mouth after another, allowing the raging river water to rush in, even if the big food boat had a watertight cabin, but there was no pump, it was enough for them to drink a pot!
With the Tang boat like a water hawk boat flying over the water, the big food boat is clumsy like a water duck crawling on the water!
One after another, the Tang boats crashed into the hull of the big food boats, and under the continuous impact, three more big food boats sank at once, and five big food boats stopped after entering the water and were washed down by the current.
Feeling the peculiarity of the Tang boat, Zahivi frowned, there were only two roads in front of him, and he faced it for a while, but the other party went downstream, and the wind direction was not good.
Or the strategy is to change troops, go downstream, temporarily get out of the unfavorable situation, and find a good place to fight again.
However, after seeing the speed of the Tang ship, he dispelled the second thought, and ordered the ship to divide into two groups to meet the Tang ship.
The first batch of thirty-five large ships headed for the small Tang ship with a crushing momentum!
At this time, the Tang ships had already played their old tricks again, although the collision was powerful, but the collision sank and injured the enemy at the same time, and at the same time, they also injured themselves by 800, and some Tang ships also had cracks in various places, and they entered the water, or they were slightly injured, and the collision could cause a big disaster.
Facing the fierce big food boat, the Tang boats fought horizontally, and the side walls opened a square "cannon port", and then the whistling sound!
A strong crossbow was fired from the "muzzle"!
The bed crossbow used to defend the city is loaded on the ship, and the hit rate is extremely high.
The crossbows were all loaded with fire bombs, which were ignited before they were fired, and they fell on the enemy ship to cause flames!
The Don ships spat fire, violently jetted rockets, and constantly fell on the big food ships, and fire broke out everywhere on their sails, hulls and decks!
The crew became confused, and to the shouts of the officers, splashed water or extinguished the fire with sand and drenched blankets.
The officers kept giving orders, and the big food ship wanted to catch up with the Tang ship, but the speed of the Tang ship was even higher than theirs.
The big food boat is against the wind (not the front and the head) against the current, and it has to go in a zigzag, and sometimes it can't even move, but the Tang boat is turning back and forth, left and right, and it is extremely flexible, beyond the imagination of the big cannibal: how can it be possible without oars and sails!
They tried their best to put out the fire, but the Tang boat just circled around the big food boat, and the rockets shot hundreds of branches, burning some of the big food boats into dry pyres!
The fire grew larger, the flames spread, and it was out of control.
However, the power of the rocket is still weak, and it cannot sink the big food boat, and there are many people on the big food boat, and the fire is busy fighting and controlling the fire.
Most of the big food boats saw that the situation was not good, and they couldn't catch up with the Tang boats against the current, so they simply went downstream with the water.
In the same way, another part of the large food boats retreated without a fight under the leadership of Zahivi,
The Tang boats quickly pursued, leaving more than 20 boats to sweep the water and prevent any fish from slipping through the net, while the rest of the boats swarmed towards Zahivi.
