Chapter XVI: Asymmetrical Naval Warfare 3

In the past, the pirates were invincible with their indomitable momentum and fearless spirit, but they encountered a professional army that was armed to the teeth in this era. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The eldest grandson handed over the command to Zhang Xingping, which also avoided the serious consequences caused by the chaotic command.

More and more pirate ships rushed out, and soon about ten pirate ships rushed out of the walled gate, but Changsun Tang's luck was really not good, and at this time the artillery did not dare to compliment the accuracy of such a moving target.

Therefore, the artillery team commanded by Changsun Tang hit the wall of the wall with one shot, and all the rest blew up the fish. But the other two artillery crews have gained.

I don't know the gap without comparison, as a person who thinks he knows the most about artillery, and the person who is most familiar with the trajectory of artillery, such a comparison is unacceptable to Changsun Tang.

"Hurry up, hurry up, didn't you just have breakfast?" Changsun Tang began to complain, and the object of this complaint was naturally the person in charge of carrying the shells and primers in the artillery crew.

"Master Hou, we have tried our best, according to the regulations, there is no bottom medicine on this deck, so it is a little slower." This artillery commander is naturally unwilling, Changsun Tang deprived him of his command, missed the target, and actually planned to let them carry the black cauldron, which is a little unbearable.

Changsun Tang was stunned when he heard this, this regulation was formulated by him at the beginning, and the reason for this is that if the base medicine is detonated, it will be dangerous. However, the current situation is that there is no threat to do this, and the only thing that can make the base medicine explode can only be the enemy's rocket, but the rocket has no streamlined arrows, and the air resistance of the flame, this speed and range are far from comparable to ordinary bows and arrows.

"Then you can make an exception this time and move more at a time, but only this time, and you can't tell anyone." The eldest grandson is ashamed of himself for the sake of face, and he is out of the way.

"Okay, okay, Master Hou, I'll go, I'll go." As soon as the gun commander heard this, he hurriedly went to the ammunition depot. At present, he is the most idle person in the artillery crew. No matter who commanded it, he naturally hoped that this cannon could play a significant role. Or even this sentence that is said while running.

The eldest grandson shook his head and continued with the work at hand.

"Ready, put!" Still missed. Everyone was a little speechless about the poor performance of artillery in naval battles, which was already close to firing shells, and even a fish was not hit.

Before the next shot could begin, the gun commander came up panting and carrying a large pile of gunpowder.

"Master Hou, I'm back."

"It's good to be back, everyone hurry up and go their own way."

"Yes!"

"Ready, put!" Another shell was fired.

Maybe it's the gunner's approach that has changed his luck, and maybe it's time to hit the statistical probability. This shell hit a large ship, but due to the solid shell, the damage caused by this shell was not too great, and a hole was made in the side of the ship, which shattered the plank, and under the effect of momentum, the shell still did not stop, and rolled into the interior of the cabin, but the consequences were invisible.

This is the beginning of an era, and perhaps future generations will go down in history as this event, and at the same time continue to praise and praise it with all kinds of beautiful words. But for the fleet led by the Yellow Emperor on the battlefield, this is really not a turning point.

By the time the hit ship moved on, the number of ships that had rushed out of the gate had reached fourteen.

The giant bed crossbow began to wield.

Due to the gun's power and crosshairs, as well as the trebuchet's parabolic trajectory, the hit rate of both is outrageously low. The artillery had just been seen, but the trebuchet had an even lower hit rate.

And the bed crossbow has been in use for a long time, and for the sake of direct aiming, this hit rate and so far only about five percent of the artillery is not at all a level thing.

Whenever a huge crossbow arrow is fired, bringing out a gust of wind, it means that the opposite side is very likely to pay the price of life.

There were a total of thirty bed crossbows on the seven ships, and every time the five men had loaded the crossbow arrows with the help of a geared winding device, they hammered down, and a web of death that harvested life was spread out to the opposite side. There was even a very small ship that was hit on the side of the ship, and it was directly taken out of a huge hole by the huge inertia, and the constant influx of sea water quickly carried the ship to the bottom of the sea.

Even so, the pirates still relied on the small and agile characteristics of the ship to quickly approach the Yellow Emperor. Looking at the posture of only three or five people on each ship, Zhang Xingping knew that these pirates were planning to attack with fire, and these sailors who were paddling must have made all the preparations.

This made Zhang Xingping can't help but have a layer of fine sweat on his palm. After all, this kind of battle with real knives and guns, he is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.

Zhang Xingping's concerns Changsun Tang didn't know, and he didn't care if he knew. If it is said that defeating the strong with the weak often occurs in land warfare, then at the campaign level, there are very few cases in which the navy defeats the strong with the weak, and naval warfare is nothing more than a big ship defeating a small ship. The issues involved in this may be more complicated, but Changsun Tang has basically taken into account all the issues that may affect the performance, such as morale and logistics.

Now the eldest grandson is fighting at the right time, but he doesn't care much about the swarming pirates. This time, the gunpowder was moved, which really changed the luck, and the artillery crew under the command of Changsun Tang actually hit three shells one after another, although the damage caused was limited. But the progress is already evident.

A fire had already risen on one of the pirate ships, and it was clear that this was not caused by an attack, but rather that it was a ship that had been attacked. Nor is this their last resort. When the fire on the ship grew bigger and bigger, three people had already entered the water with Emei stabs, and their task was simple, to scuttle each other's boats with the chisels they carried with them.

No matter how big the ship is, as long as it is wooden, I am afraid of the other party's water ghosts, the bigger the boat, the more serious the consequences will be after being chiseled. The ships were all designed to be compartmentalized, and it wasn't too dangerous to gouge through one of the other hatches, but none of the captains wanted their ships to be pierced by the chisels of these water spirits.

However, the eldest grandson had already prepared for all this. After consulting a large number of documents and some low-level officers of the navy, Changsun Tang also knew the seriousness and harmfulness of this problem.

The most fundamental way to solve this problem is to lay a layer of iron plate on the outside of the wooden ship and convert it into an ironclad ship, but with the current level of craftsmanship and power factors, this is destined to be impossible to succeed.

Therefore, Changsun Tang thought of another way, doping the fishing net with iron wire, just like the lightning net set up by later generations to defend against torpedoes. The net had been laid down by the time the fleet stopped to attack.

Therefore, these water ghosts who went into the water were sad. After all, people's lung capacity and physical strength are limited, and this ten-meter-high net makes them really unable to start, use a chisel, this net itself has holes; Use Emei to stab it, and you can't deal with this doped wire. What's even more tragic is that once they show up, what awaits them is a large wave of bows and arrows, and some of them have already come over before they can emerge.

Now on the largest ship of the pirates, who is the flagship, the pirate leader Zhai Zheng has no idea, and all the means he can use have been used, and it is the kind of situation where the landlord will blow up as soon as he comes up, and he can't play the cards. This is not just depressed, Zhai Zheng even has the heart to die.

Although I thought that one day I would encounter such a situation, it was inevitable that it would come too quickly. This Zhai Zheng also has a lot of background, he said that he was the nephew of this Wagang Zhai Rang, so he gathered a group of people to do this business.

"Newspaper. The big boss, the fire attack and the water ghost were all sent up, but the lookout did not find any movement of the other party's ships, and the other party destroyed four of our ships in a row with a huge slapstick. "The minions under his command came to report.

"You go down first." Zhai Zheng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"The big boss, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, it's better for us to escape." Someone under this hand came up with an idea.

Zhai Zheng waved his hand and stopped a similar discussion.

"Big boss, this is such an opponent, we are not wronged, now it is important to escape, as long as there is a life, everyone will continue to work with you, or everything will come back soon. After all, your reputation as 'Town All Over the World' has been earned by hard work with real knives and guns. Another said.

As a pirate, running away is not a shameful thing, if anyone can run away every time, this is the real skill. It can be seen that there is a reason why this Zhai Zheng did not escape, and said: "Do you think I don't want to escape? But if you look at the terrain, the other party has blocked our only exit, how can we escape? ”

Zhai Zheng's words made everyone silent.

"The big boss, we can go ashore and hide on the shore, such a big island, with their little strength, what are we afraid of them?" Another idea.

"Then if they burn down this dock and the water village with a fire, will we be savages on this island?" Zhai Zheng was really a little speechless, but he really couldn't ask for too much. If you understand that there are many people, it is estimated that you don't know how many times there has been infighting.

The crowd was really silent this time, and the mood was brewing in the silence.

"His grandmother's, since he won't give us a way to live, then we'll fight with him." As he spoke, a bearded fellow picked up a knife and rushed out. Zhai Zheng didn't stop it, he really had no reason to stop it.

"Yes, **** mother, since you don't give us a way to live, why are we still cowering." The robber's logic is really weird. He never mentioned the bad consequences of this robbery, and said that he was like a saint. However, as people who can come here, they basically have some skills, and these people still know the powerful relationship here. Some people rushed out, ready to board a small boat, and went forward to fight this behemoth.

Naturally, the eldest grandson and Zhang Xingping did not know what happened to the pirates. All they need to do is prevent a boat from leaking out. Changsun Tang is no longer commanding the artillery now, and this hit rate is really a little too low. In addition, the use of the barrel has reached a specified limit, and if it continues to fight, it may explode.

So Changsun Tang is currently standing at the front of the deck, staring at the real scene in front of him. A ship caught fire, caused by an incendiary grenade fired from a trebuchet, and an archer hit a water spirit, who let out a scream and floated up from under the water, and the blood soon stained a large area of water.

Very few of the opposing ships were left intact, and the battle was almost coming to an end. From time to time, a water ghost enters the water, and then is stopped by a defense net, and becomes a real water ghost.

However, the pirate army is getting closer and closer to the Yellow Emperor.

Finally, the distance between the two fleets is enough to carry out gang jumping, which is the pirate's strength, and it is also the significance of Changsun Tang's establishment of the Marine Corps. A larger pirate ship approached, and the other party used grappling nails and other tools to quickly bring the two ships closer and closer, and some pirates had already begun to talk about sawing off the ship's main mast, using this as another route to carry out gang jumping.

The Yellow Emperor seems to have fallen into a period of internal and external difficulties.

But it is clear that they underestimated the degree of perversion of the eldest grandson. This pervert can make a rule that does not allow the propellant to be piled up on the deck without any danger, which shows that this is definitely a moderate persecution syndrome patient.

On the one hand, the boulders hanging from the pole will cause serious or even irreparable damage to any kind of building. In this case, it is clear that the efficiency and defensive ability of the lever far surpass that of other long-range attack weapons.

When they thought they could board each other's ships right away, it all began. There are a lot of defensive soldiers in the middle of the attack, and what is even more terrifying is that they actually have a crossbow in their hands, and they have studied it for more than half a year, and they have solved this problem in one sentence.

The naval battle had come to an end, and the sun was ready to reach noon.

The sea was littered with burning planks, convincing dead bodies, and billowing smoke.

All this shows that sometimes technology and equipment really don't come naturally by courage.

The eldest grandson did not leave a mouth, he took a look, there was no crew here, there was no doubt that their whereabouts were already obvious. Because the eldest grandson took all the prisoners of war to the shore and cut them all.

In this world, the first naval battles in which thermal weapons were used in real combat ended.

The eldest grandson returned full of honor. (To be continued.) )
