Chapter 109: The Real Water War
"The left rudder is full, sailing to the right with the big ship of the bandit army's striker, and the guns of the first to fifth strings on the left are loaded with solid shells." Yang Lin's fingers quickly calculated on the mobile phone, just like the battle of Weishui, but this so-called solid bullet is just like the warhead of a paper bullet, it is just a large heavy iron ball, once this thing is remotely smashed into the wooden boat of the bandits, it must be a big hole, Yang Lin's primary target is a few big ships of the Japanese State, as long as the big ships are destroyed, those small boats will be crushed by the Cheng Qian.
The eyes of the minister looking at the Chengqian were completely greedy, this kind of thing is simply an artifact of destroying the country overseas, he is used to water warfare, he found the problem for the first time, the speed of the imperial court ship is too fast, even the Abe No. 1 with a full sail with a tailwind is not comparable to the speed of his boat against the current, no wonder he dares to send only one ship to deal with an enemy dozens of times more than his own.
Just as the lieutenant was thinking hard about the countermeasures for besieging the Chengqian, an earth-shattering loud bang shook the sky above the lake, and the Chengqian, which was emitting white smoke, opened fire, and only fired one shot.
"Bang"
A cracking sound of wood cracking sounded not far from the prime minister, followed by a panicked shout.
"What? Ship No. 6 was struck in the hull, and a large hole was beginning to bubble into the boat, a distance of two hundred paces. "The minister got the report of the No. 6 ship, which really realized the strength of the Chengqian, the water distance of two hundred steps is insurmountable by the bow and arrow of the Wa State, but the Shenwei cannon on the Chengqian is this range, one hundred and twenty meters, Yanglin's calculation is extremely accurate, not so much that he is fighting, but that he is doing an arithmetic problem, as long as he pinchs the time of the standard answer to fire, the landing point of the cannonball must be the corresponding position, and at the same time, Li Tai, who was watching from the sidelines, also realized the strength of the magic weapon in Yanglin's hand, because Yanglin started the war from the beginning, just kept fiddling with his magic weapon.
"Two, three, four, and five guns firing."
Another military order from Yanglin was issued, and the chamberlain lit the fuse as ordered. After a few loud bangs, four shells were fired almost simultaneously.
"Smack."
The mast of the fourth ship of the Japanese kingdom was hit, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the creaking mast slowly fell to the side under the impetus of the wind, and the other two ships, No. 3 and No. 5, were like the No. 6 ship, and a hole was smashed into the deck, and the cabin began to flood.
"Boom"
The mast of the No. 4 ship fell and smashed into the No. 5 boat not far away, and the lieutenant on the No. 1 boat was shocked, and he shouted in the air: "Plug the loophole." The whole team dispersed, outflanked left and right, and closed the distance to capture the ship. ”
Yanglin's Japanese is also good, roughly understand their Tang Dynasty native Japanese, the voice of the minister is too loud, and in the upwind position, Yanglin heard it clearly, four shells, hit three shots. There is also a shot falling into the water, which is a very good situation, but the current equipment is not able to make a powerful flowering shell, otherwise these cannons will come down. The ships of the Wa Kingdom were reduced by half.
"Hmph, I want to besiege and dream. Raise the sails and walk in a zigzag. Keeping a distance of about two hundred paces from them, the left string 1 to 5 is shotshot. Solid shells on the right chord 6 to 10 can be fired when the hull is straightened. Yang Lin ordered again. Once the Chengqian raised its sails and sailed with the wind, the speed was faster than that of a galloping horse, and it was by no means something that the sailing ships of the Japanese Kingdom could catch up, let alone encircle, and the speed of his zigzag turning the hull of the ship was also comparable to that of the Japanese fleet, and it was able to leave the oars of the Eighteen Villages far behind.
The response of the minister is undoubtedly the most correct, the scattered Japanese ships are more difficult to aim, but unfortunately the second group of people greeted them with a huge killing range of shotguns, Peng Jian, who was pressed on the big ship in the rear, had a very bad complexion, and the rumbling cannon sound had frightened his subordinates, and half of the ships were damaged by just one of the Japanese people, dozens of dead and wounded, and the lethality of the imperial court ships was terrifying, which instantly made his more hesitant heart even more hesitant.
"Big boss, I said a long time ago that we can't provoke the court now, they will definitely not attack us without certainty for the sake of face, the Japanese people are extremely vicious, and now we are in a hurry to stop, as long as we take the opportunity to shoot from their rear, destroy them, and raise their heads to the court, maybe we can save the situation."
The person who spoke was Dou Yuming, the owner of Dou Jiazhai, and he was accompanied by a young man, if Yang Lin's memory was better, he should still be able to remember his appearance, he was the Han Dou Yingshan who was active in the Turkic cavalry camp last year, and Dou Jiazhai was a rebel force planted by Hebei Dou Valve in Huainan, the reason why Dou Jiazhai changed the belligerent style of the past, it was precisely because of the Dou Ying Mountain that fled from Hebei to Huainan to stop, after seeing the power of gunpowder many times, he didn't think that there were any other forces that were opponents of the imperial court, and wanted to plot big things, It is necessary to have firearms that are as sharp as those of the imperial court, and this has to start from within the imperial court.
Peng Jian himself also has some eyesight, the big ship of the imperial court is too fast, and there is no need to use the wind, the fleet of the Japanese country may be difficult to subdue, but if he is asked to do treachery in public, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the saliva of his own people, and the position of the head of the eighteen villages will be difficult to bear, after thinking about it, the people who benefit the most from this are probably the people of Doujiazhai, no wonder there will be so many people and horses they summoned to watch the battle today, once they treacherously attack the Japanese of the Japanese country, I am afraid they will provoke those people to attack themselves, seized the position of the head of his own village, so as to beg to the imperial court, and accounted for the greatest benefit.
Realizing Dou Yuming's possible plan, Peng Jian glanced at him resentfully, not to mention, his conjecture was roughly the same as Dou Yingshan's plan, but Dou Yingshan did not want to replace his position as the head of the village, he just quietly broke into the imperial court's naval army to steal water ships and gunpowder technology, and then launched Peng Jian to bear the blame after the incident, and at that time, the Dou Jiazhai people who had been surrendered by the court could not only take over his position in the imperial court, but also serve as an internal army after he secretly made a large number of steamships gunpowder.
"How could I do that treacherous thing, I took them three boatloads of silver, handed them over to three thousand brothers, and the eighteen villages were cleared with them, as for their victory or defeat with the court, it was their own business, the old man sent a clipper to recover Mrs. Xie, as long as they did not harm the people of the court, there was still room for turnaround." Peng Jian said a little angrily, and at the same time, as soon as he beckoned, there were minions around him who drove a fast boat to chase Mrs. Xie's fleet, and now they all thought that Mrs. Xie's son Xie Feiyu was killed by the court's men and horses, and Mrs. Xie, who rushed to the imperial court's cargo ship with all her might, was eager for revenge.
If the prime minister knew that there was already infighting in the rear at the beginning of the war, he would probably vomit blood in anger. The big ship of the imperial court was too fast, he couldn't catch up at all, and three of his own ships had been shot, and two of them had been shot more than once, the gap could not be blocked, and it began to sink slowly, and one was blown off the mast and lost the ability to sail, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the battlefield.
"The second and third ships went to rescue the people on the sunken ship, the first ship except for weapons, abandoned all the heavy loads, sailed at full speed, I will personally kill the big ship of the imperial court." The minister of the central minister gave the order, and Yang Lin saw the two sunken ships of the Wa State that needed to be rescued at a fixed point, as long as the ship could not move on the water, it would become a live target for the Chengqian, and if the Wa State sent a boat to rescue, there would be more live targets.
"Pull over, don't rush to attack the two ships that are about to sink, all reload solid bullets, and prepare to sink the ships that come to help." Yanglin has always maintained a safe distance from the Japanese ships, and now he suddenly changed his strategy and used the strategy of encircling the point to help, although it was a more effective way to attack the Japanese ships, but it also gave the eighteen village water bandits who followed the rear by pulp boat a chance to approach.
"Horse, a Japanese ship is approaching." It is very likely that this ship of the Japanese Kingdom, which is obviously much lighter and more agile than other ships, is controlled by a powerful person, and Xuan Erfan, who has been guarding by Yang Lin's side, reminded.
"Attack it with two small cannons in the bow of the ship, load it with shotguns, and the escort will go to the side of the ship, and once the enemy ship enters the range of musket damage, all of them will be killed." Yang Lin is bent on sinking all the ships of the Japanese Kingdom, and Qi Erfan can see a trace of hatred for the Japanese people from his command state, if he knows that Yang Lin is from the later generations of the Anti-Japanese War drama Domination, he will not be surprised.
Sure enough, as Yang Lin expected, the Wa State sent two ships to rescue the two ships that were about to sink, and the end result was that the four Wa ships that were surrounded by the Cheng Qian and spared two circles were hit by more than a dozen shells in a row, and one of them fell apart directly. But the situation is not very optimistic, Cheng Qian is also caught in the eighteen Zhai water bandit minions of the boat semi-encirclement, the only gap is only a big ship of the Japanese country is struggling to Cheng Qian, needless to say, this must be trying to hit the ship and jump tied, once thousands of people board the ship hand-to-hand combat, the end can be imagined.
On the cargo ship, the art troupe and the crew members who were cheering because the Chengqian sank four large ships of the Japanese Kingdom were instantly dumbfounded, and many of the more enthusiastic people were even shouting for the boat operators to hurry over to support the Chengqian, but they were stopped by the escort team, only the people in the escort knew how terrifying the strength of the Chengqian was, needless to mention the two hundred internal servants with high martial arts, and more than 100 escorts armed with long and short guns only needed a few bullet clips to shoot down, and they could quickly eliminate those sailors who tried to board the ship.
Yang Lin naturally will not let the big ship of the Japanese country hit and injure the Cheng Qian, this ship is going to go to Jiaozhi to show its might, immediately issued a new order, all the cannons loaded with shotguns, fired at no intervals, blasted out of a way, drop the sails, go against the wind at full speed, and run over from the small boat pile of the water bandits, as long as it breaks through to the rear of the enemy formation, then the Cheng Qian, which turns back to attack the water bandits, becomes a tailwind, and the big ships of the Japanese country and the small boats of the water bandits that are traveling against the wind will slow down again, and completely become the meat of the mouth of the Cheng Qian.
