Section 853 Water Warfare (4)
Because they did not adapt to the attack method of the Tang boat, the big food boat obviously suffered a big loss, although they were big, but the Tang boat attack was extremely flexible, or find the weak side of the big food boat and slammed into it, knocking open a big hole one by one, causing the river water to pour into the big boat; Otherwise, the rockets that were fired would rain down, and the warship would have become a firework tube that shoots fireworks, but the big food ship that was shot would not have been so pleasant; He simply went on it again, using the small bridge on the ship to build it on the big food boat, and the Marines went up directly to cut people.

The key is that the speed of the Tang boat is fast enough, and it is very free to fight and run if it wants to, and the big cannibals are often unable to fight back, and they hate them so much that their teeth itch.
There was a mess on the water, and many places were engaged in battles, and it was difficult to separate. More and more ships from both sides crowded into the water opposite the city of Amadan, and the scene was like a chaotic water village, with a large mass of sails and sailless boats huddled together, and on the periphery, the Tang ships kept firing fire crossbows.
The battlefield is out of control, and both sides are killing each other, anyway, just kill all the enemies.
Zahivi did not participate in the scuffle, and he let his new ship swim back with the wind.
Escape, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!
Annoyed, the whole three Tang boats ate him, and kept firing rockets around him, and there were no ships around him to cover him, and the other ships were entangled in the Tang boats.
The Tang boat was not in a hurry to attack, but just released the fire crossbow, but the big food boat was tall and crowded, the fire fighting was effective, the ship board was hard, and after the two sides were entangled for ten miles, seeing that the wind turned stronger, the sails on the big food boat were full of wind and puffed up, and when they ran faster and faster, one of the Tang boats hit hard from its side and front!
The force was so strong that almost all the people on both boats fell to the ground!
Immediately after that, the second and third Tang boats crashed into the big food boat in turn!
The Tang boat and the big food boat are closely glued together, and if you don't say it, you can see the truth on the bottom of your hand.
Immediately let the big cannibals know how powerful the marines are, after they boarded the big food ship, the horse steps were solid, the moves were powerful, and the left and right cooperation, the comrades behind them released arrows to cover, and the accuracy of arrow shooting on the shaking deck was very high!
In just one face, the Tang army will kill the big cannibal to the point of screaming, even some brave people are busy in front of the Tang army's team!
Zahivi led his guards into battle to kill, but even he was not easy to do on the shaking ship, although he had a certain combat effectiveness, but under the steady advance of the Tang army, he could only retreat step by step.
Finally, when he retreated to the stern of the boat, there were only two personal soldiers around him, and the others either died or dived, and in front of him was the bright Tang Army sword!
"Surrender! Spare you from dying! "Someone beckoned in the language of the big food.
With a long sigh, Zahivi gave an order, and his two personal soldiers took a slight gesture, and at the same time held knives and stabbed them through his left and right flanks!
It should have been a stab in the lungs, Zahivi vomited blood from his mouth, and soon, his eyes lost their sparkle
According to religious etiquette, Zahivi can't commit suicide, but he doesn't want to surrender or die at the hands of the Tang people, so he will play a sideline ball and let his own soldiers do the work for him!
The Tang army did not take the opportunity to press forward, they looked at Zha with respect, a person who looked like an officer said a few words, and immediately someone said to the soldiers in the big food language: "Check it on us, if you don't die, we will be responsible for treatment." If he dies, take him with you, and we will allow you to take him back to your homeland! ”
The two pro-soldiers also threw down their weapons and let the Tang people come forward to check, and Zahivi was indeed killed.
So the two soldiers and the captured cannibals were responsible for bringing Zahivi's body, but they also had the task of returning to the battlefield by boat, and they shouted: "Zahivi is dead, Zahivi is dead!" ”
It is better to open your mouth yourself than to be beheaded by the Tang Army to show the public, which is like now, just laying Zahivi's body on the boat for display.
The soldiers used earthen loudspeakers to shout, and dozens of captured prisoners followed suit.
They circled the field, and the two armies, who were in a hurry, heard clearly.
Hearing the shouting, and looking down from the big boat, it seems to be true, the heart of the big food army is gradually scattered, those who can still escape by boat, hurry up and leave, if the boat can't escape, they will jump into the water to escape, and the scene is chaotic!
On the water, the ships were scattered, each retreating, as if a catastrophe was coming.
The wind is urgent, the drums are ringing, and the Tang boat is galloping like the wind, chasing and killing the big food ship!
Gradually, the situation became clearer, the big food boat was burned down, the runaway ship was washed down by the current, some ran aground on the river beach, some crashed on the shore, some surrendered, and the big food boat escaped... Five of the big boats, sailing, had no wind, and because of a lack of manpower, they could not sail in a zigzag pattern, and they were washed down by the current.
A team of Tang boats surrounded them, and the rockets fired wildly!
……
There was silence in the city of Abbadam, and all the soldiers had their eyes scattered, and they clearly saw the scene that was revealed in front of them...... Reinforcements are gone!
In fact, the role that the Great Water Army can play is limited, and they cannot go ashore, but they play a role in inspiring the morale of the army.
Now, they are immersed in water, and the hearts of the defenders of Abadan, frozen in water!
And Wei Xi, who was sitting on the hill on the shore and even had a banquet to watch the excitement, and the generals were celebrating with their crowns: "Hahaha, our steamship is good!" ”
The emergence of the steamship means that a new mode of combat has been introduced, in the past, water battles had to rely on the wind or oars, with the steamship, there is no need to watch the sky to eat, and there is no need to rely on manpower, and the power of the steam engine is large, the ship can be built very large in the future.
And the army directly went on board to crit, which also made everyone's vision new: "Originally, the water war could still be fought like this!" ”
In the past, there were many ship-to-ship battles, and the sailors faced each other, but they were all petty fights, but now the marines rushed to the enemy in a battle formation, and the enemy was unexpected, and the enemy was difficult to resist.
"It's all the prince's steamboats and marines!" Everyone complimented.
Wei Xi laughed and said, "The result of everyone's unity!" ”
Among the marines who participated in the battle, there were no famous generals and they were young, but they defeated the big cannibals!
In the evening, the battle situation was reported: 120 ships of the Great Diet Army, 11 escaped (8 of which went downstream), 85 were sunk, 24 large ships were captured, about 20,000 sailors were beheaded, and more than 3,000 were captured.
Fifty-eight steam ships have been involved in the war, thirteen have sunk, they are all violent collisions resulting in both defeats, and they themselves are sunk, the rest of the ships, almost all of them are wounded, at least eighty percent have to be repaired, and 1,600 marines have died or are missing, which shows the fierceness of the battle!
"No matter what, the water battle has been won, let's attack the city of Abadan quickly!" Wei Xi Huo Ran stood up and said.
"Take the city of Abadan!" Everyone responded.
