372, the magic wheel [1/3]
Sun Yuying came out of the city, only to see Gan Ning with fifty subordinates rowing a few light warships to the dock.
She was still dressed like that, in shorts and shorts, and had a bit of a swimsuit taste. Healthy bronzed skin, streamlined waist exposed, a silver chain tied around the waist, hanging a copper bell on it, with the river breeze blowing, the copper bell makes a tinkling light sound, which is extremely charming.
She didn't bring her army of Jinfan thieves with her, and it was obvious that she didn't plan to join the Gongsun army yet.
"General Gan...... Why didn't you bring the soldiers? Sun Yu asked depressedly, "Didn't we talk about it?" You come to Gongsun Army, let's make you the governor of the navy......"
Gan Ning raised his head, laughed a few times, and said a few words, but unfortunately the voice was too small and was blown away by the river wind, and Sun Yu didn't hear a word clearly.
Fortunately, Meng Xiang also followed, and he hurriedly helped Gan Ning to pass the word: "The old lady doesn't want to be the governor of the navy just now, so she will be pulled out as a gunman, and fight with Liu Biao's more than 1,000 warships with outnumbered enemies. ”
Sun Yu wiped his sweat, kicked Meng Xiang into the water, walked to a very close place in front of Gan Ning, and said seriously: "Miss Gan, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to use you as a gunman." Our Gongsun Army really needs you to be the governor of the navy, and when you join our Gongsun Army, the whole army will treat you as a family, and they will definitely not just want to use you. ”
Gan Ning snorted and laughed a few times: "I'm not a child, I'm not so easy to deceive, even if you really treat me as a family, but the little strength in my hand is not enough to deal with Liu Biaojun's water army, and you yourself don't have the water army strength, I am not being used as a gun." ”
This time, Sun Yu got closer and finally heard clearly.
Sun Yu had no choice but to say seriously: "We are also organizing our own naval forces, and when the time comes, more than 3,000 sailors will be assigned to your command and handed over to you, and I am still making warships for them." In the future, all the officers and men of the naval army that will be expanded by our army will be handed over to you, which is enough to prove that I have no intention of treating you as a gunman. ”
Sun Yu took Gan Ning to the edge of the dock, only to see Yu Ban training 3,000 newly formed naval troops, these people rowed a small fishing boat recruited temporarily, and were practicing the fighting skills on the boat.
Several new sailors were wielding spears and spears on the boat, and suddenly their feet slipped and they actually fell into the water.
Two novices were gliding a small boat, but the way it was slipped was wrong, and the boat spun straight on the surface of the water, not moving forward at all.
Gan Ning looked at these jerky novices and couldn't help but shake his head, where is this water army, it's just a group of rabble.
She shook the copper bell on her waist, and said to Sun Yu with a proud smile on her face: "You temporarily scrape together three thousand sailors to build some messy garbage boats, which is also called a navy?" Hahaha, let's do it, you send fifty sailors out, if you can win on the water, I bring these fifty sailors, I will agree to join the Gongsun army, and be the governor of your navy. If they lose, I'll go back to my water village immediately. ”
"Really?" Sun Yu was overjoyed.
"The rivers and lakes are mixed, and they are full of words." Gan Ning smiled.
Hehe, it turns out that your broken woman is a special trip to test me, although your sailors are very powerful under the effect of your military skills "Jinfan", but the role of ships in water warfare is more than that of sailors, as long as you use the new ships I manufactured, no matter how powerful your sailors are, I will let you see what the concept of warships in the Ming Dynasty against the warships of the Han Dynasty is.
Sun Yu laughed and said, "Okay, Miss Gan, let's compare!" ”
Gan Ning waved his hand, and fifty brocade thieves returned to their small boat, Gan Ning brought a total of five ships, the smallest one could only hold four people, and the largest one could hold 20 people, these ships were all very simple wooden warships, there were no cabins or anything like that, and there were no guards or the like. The warships of the water thieves are not very particular in the first place, not to mention that these ships are light ships, and light ships are not particular.
When fighting, the sailors on these boats mainly fought the enemy not by boat, but by gang. In fact, most of the water battles in the Han Dynasty were gang hopping operations, because there were no naval guns in this era, and the enemy could not be defeated without gang jumping.
Although these small boats are of different sizes, they all have one thing in common, that is, there is a Xichuan brocade hanging on the sail, this Xichuan brocade is their symbol of being a brocade thief, if there is no Xichuan brocade on the ship, Gan Ning's military system "Jinfan" will not be able to have an effect on them.
Gan Ning waved her hand, and the word "Jinfan" in gold jumped up, reflecting her fifty subordinates in it, and the fifty people immediately rowed up the boat, advancing and retreating like flying, not a little stronger than the sailors that Gongsun Jun practiced by the dock just now.
Looking at the Jinfan thief's skillful boat technique, many Gongsun Army sailors lowered their heads in shame.
Gan Ning looked at Sun Yu proudly and said with a smile: "How is it?" Do you dare to compare with me? ”
Sun Yu said with a smile: "Of course you dare, it's not better than how to know who wins and who loses!" ”
He waved his hand at Yu Ban and said, "Drive out our latest three wheels." ”
"Wheels?" Gan Ning said curiously: "What is it?" Haven't heard of it. ”
Under the order, the fifty most powerful sailors in the Gongsun army stepped out of the column and got into the three strange ships on the dock. This strange ship is four feet two feet long and one foot three feet wide, with no sails and nail boards on both sides, which looks like a hedgehog from the outside.
The belly of the ship was very large, and as soon as the soldiers of the Gongsun Army got on the ship, they all got into the belly of the ship, and there was no one left on the deck.
Gan Ning couldn't help but say curiously: "Pretending to be a ghost, there is no one on the deck, who will row the boat?" Who's going to attack the enemy? It's not a coffin floating on the water, my brocade sail is not something a coffin ship like you can win. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the three wheels actually moved, and drove so fast that they rushed out of the dock in a blink of an eye, faster than a boat rowed with a paddle.
"Huh? A boat that can walk without sails and without rowing? Gan Ning was taken aback, and when she looked closely, she saw several wheels on both sides of the boat that resembled waterwheels, and the wheels were spinning rapidly, more powerful than rowing with a paddle. She immediately guessed that the Gongsun soldiers in the belly of the ship were turning the wheels by some kind of mechanism, so there was no need to leave people on the deck to row.
This stuff is kind of interesting! Gan Ning's eyes immediately narrowed, and he thought: This wheel is spinning fast, much more powerful than pulp, and this kind of clipper can quickly seize the advantage in a water war, not bad.
"Although you are running fast, but your soldiers are all shrunk in the belly of the ship, how can you meet the enemy?" Gan Ning asked Sun Yu.
Sun Yu laughed, didn't answer Gan Ning's mouth, and shouted a loud order to the river: "We are friends with the Jinfan thief, and it's not embarrassing to fight when we meet, let's make a demonstration of our fighting method first, and then fight after the demonstration." Let's come back first, find a broken ship to attack, and put on a show of our full set of tactics. ”
The three boats on the river answered, turned the rudder, and sailed back to the quay, where a dilapidated old fishing boat was parked, which was no longer in use.
Yu Ban stretched out his hand and pointed to the fishing boat and said, "Wheel No. 1, you go and kill this fishing boat and show our weapons to our friends who are thieves." ”
"No!"
Wheel No. 1 sprang out of the formation and rushed towards the small fishing boat.
Gan Ning was very curious, and the fifty Jinfan thieves on the river also stretched their necks together and prepared to watch the show.
I saw that the No. 1 Wheel Boat Boat rushed towards the broken fishing boat, and just entered the land of an arrow, the deck above the wheel boat suddenly turned over to both sides, and ten sailors jumped inside, all of them were holding rockets, they didn't want to think about it, and fired arrows at the fishing boat together. The arrows were not very accurate, only one hit the fishing boat, and the others fell into the river.
Gan Ning was about to laugh at their accuracy in archery, but the ten sailors suddenly shrank back into the belly of the ship, and the upper deck fell to the ground with a thud, turning into a large coffin.
Sun Yu smiled and said: "The archers on our ship, only the archery will be exposed to the enemy's eyes for a moment, and the rest of the time is hiding in the belly of the ship, so ...... No matter how powerful the enemy's sailors are, they can't do anything about them. ”
Gan Ning was slightly surprised, although the accuracy of these guys' arrows is not worth mentioning, but the combat method of shooting an arrow and immediately concealing it in the belly of the ship can indeed ensure the safety of the sailors to the greatest extent, and such a ship can almost keep the sailors from being injured at all in a small-scale battle.
After firing a round of arrows, the wheel boat continued to rush towards the small fishing boat, and when it was about six or seven feet away, it was seen that the plank of the boat was separated again, and the dozen or so sailors jumped in it, and what they were holding in their hands was no longer bows and arrows, but was replaced by javelins, and the heads of the javelins were still wrapped in tarpaulin, and they were burning.
The sailors shouted, and threw their javelins at the small fishing boat, this time so close that the javelin's accuracy increased greatly, and all but one javelin shot crookedly was inserted into the small fishing boat, making a characteristic "bumper" sound of metal piercing into the wood.
As soon as the javelin was thrown, just like just now, the sailors immediately retracted into the belly of the ship, and the deck of the ship was immediately covered again to ensure the safety of the sailors.
Sun Yu smiled and said: "This round of javelin attacks, the enemy ship will be miserable!" ”
Gan Ning also felt the same way in his heart, and actually nodded along with Sun Yu's words. But she was very strong, and immediately said: "You are indeed invincible in this battle, but this is only a long-range battle, if the enemy approaches, jump into the gang...... There is no one on the deck of your ship, how can you meet the enemy? If you change to my Jinfan, hum, this round of javelins can also be all next. ”
Sun Yu laughed and said: "Don't worry, if you get closer, you will naturally have a close way to play, continue to watch!" ”
I saw that the car and boat had rushed to the side of the small fishing boat about two feet away, which was already very close, and the deck was opened again, and the ten sailors just now jumped up together, and this time the things in their hands changed again.
He saw that the ten people were holding ten bottles and cans in their hands, and each of them had a wooden cloth on the mouth, which was burning on fire.
"What is this?" Gan Ning couldn't help but ask.
"These things are called fish oil incendiary bombs, hehe, you will know what they are for right away......" Sun Yu laughed.
I saw ten sailors wave their hands, and ten bottles smashed into the small fishing boat together, these strange bottles that were burning on fire, filled with fish oil, the bottles fell to the small fishing boat, hit the wooden deck, and immediately shattered, and the fish oil in the bottles splashed all at once, flowing everywhere.
Then the flame on the strip of cloth ignited the fish oil, and with a bang, the whole fishing boat was immediately bathed in the majestic fire, and there was not even an inch of place to stay.
Gan Ning was stunned when he saw the power of this "fish oil incendiary bomb".
The fifty Jinfan thieves on the river were also startled, although they had the golden military skills "Jinfan" to help, but after all, they were flesh and blood, if they were on the boat with two "fish oil incendiary bombs", in addition to being killed in the fire, then they could only jump ship to escape...... The ten sailors who threw out the bottles retracted into the belly of the wheel.
Yu Ban said loudly: "Deal with the enemy jumping gang!" ”
"No!"
The sailors on the wheels answered loudly, and then suddenly a spear, two spears, three spears popped out of the smooth deck of the wheels...... It turned out that there were many spear holes in the deck, and the sailors in the belly of the ship pierced the top with spears through the holes reserved in the deck.
These spear tips came out of the deck from the left and right, completely irregular, and there was no way to parry and dodge. As you can imagine, if an enemy jumps on the deck and doesn't get a foothold, the soles of their feet will be pierced with a few holes, and if they fall to the ground, they will die.
The Jinfan thieves, who were still thinking about jumping gang and fighting without being afraid of rockets, javelins, and fish oil incendiary bombs, suddenly gasped, they touched the soles of their feet, and thought: It's so dangerous, if Lao Tzu jumps over, I'm afraid that the soles of my feet will be worn.
Gan Ning's face also changed greatly, this kind of boat is so vicious, it is really all kinds of tricks...... Armed from head to teeth...... Isn't fighting a water war with such a ship looking for death?
It seems that it is a dream to win such a ship with sailors.
The only way to deal with this kind of ship is to use a huge ship to directly knock it over, or rely on a powerful military general like himself to jump up, or gouge through the bottom of the boat...... But a big ship is not something you can have if you want to have it, it takes half a year to a year to build a big ship, and even the most powerful Jiangxia navy does not have many big ships. Powerful generals are even rarer, and it is impossible to rely on generals to attack enemy ships.
At this time, Sun Yu laughed loudly at Gan Ning and the Jinfan thieves on the river: "The demonstration is over, let's compete now!" Let's see whose sailors are great......"
As soon as he said this, the fifty Jinfan thieves on the river suddenly almost fainted to the ground: Competition? Try a fart, your boat is so vicious, you will die if you try it. It's a bow and arrow, it's a javelin, it's a fire oil, it's a spear stabbing around, and your strange ship is a competition, Lao Tzu's ten lives are not enough to spend, don't be so shameless?
