Shi Xun transferred seven large ships to protect the coast, not only carried out a series of modifications that were conducive to combat in advance, but also selected brave and strong sailors, in his mind, against ordinary merchant ships or troop carriers, it was enough to crush them, and it was enough to defeat five enemies, right? And when those shipowners set sail, they were all full of confidence, and even discussed in private, should we rely on the strength of the ship and take the opportunity to go to the coast of Liaodong to loot?

However, these guys are just merchants after all, neither warriors nor pirates who have accumulated years (although they occasionally bump into merchant ships smaller than themselves on the sea, they will also temporarily go to grab a vote), if there is gold in front of them, although thousands of people go to me, but when there are only some troop carriers on the other side, they are not so bold. In particular, the size of the ships in the eastern part of the Liao is not inferior to its own, and the number is almost three times that of its own...... Can this battle be won? Even if you win, how much will you lose? Will the prince allocate sufficient compensation and bereavement benefits afterwards? Ah, let's wait and see for a while......

Therefore, only Wei Xun was charged forward by one ship - this is not that Wei Xun is more courageous than other maritime merchants, but as the "commander of the fleet", he is burdened with the guilt of sailing away from the war zone without permission, and is eager to redeem his achievements. When he got close to the enemy fleet, Wei Xun turned his head and wanted to beckon his companions to follow, only to realize that you were a hundred or twenty feet behind me, right? How dare you get off the sails and stop the oars, just wander around in place, refusing to lean forward even further?!

Wei Xun really wanted to cry without tears, and was about to give the order to turn around, but was grabbed by the arm of a house slave. The house slave pointed ahead, his face full of anxiety and depression: "Master, I can't retreat at this moment!" ”

Nearly twenty large ships on the Liaodong side. Originally, it was anchored on the coast. Suddenly attacked. I can't help but mess around. But when chaos returned, everyone could have thought that they had to hurry up and prepare for battle or flight, so they lifted anchor and pulled up the sails. At this moment, the east wind is blowing, they are upwind, and Wei Xun is downwind, if he really turns around, I am afraid that the speed has not been able to add up. You will be hit directly in the ass by the enemy ship. But if three or five boats collide with each other, how can there be any reason why they should not sink on the spot?

In desperation, Wei Xun had to give up the idea of escaping, and instead ordered to rush. On the one hand, the speed of their own ship towards the northeast has already risen, and the enemy has just been unberthed, if they take advantage of their failure to speed up the opportunity to slam into the past, there is still a glimmer of life; On the other hand, enemy ships are moored loosely and can pass through if they can find a gap. is also a few points more likely to survive than to turn around and leave.

This Mr. Wyneth had never fought much in naval warfare. However, he has been engaged in maritime trade for many years, and he still has some experience in the control of ships.

So the big ship of the guards first rammed into the nearest enemy ship. In those days, the means of naval warfare were very scarce, and the left and right were only archery, collision, and hand-to-hand fighting, but compared with the Mediterranean world, which was thousands of miles away, East Asia had generally wider ships and lower length and width, and theoretically they were not good at collision attacks. It was Xun who originally planned to install a ramming angle for the fleet, but because the workload was too great and it was inconvenient to grasp the balance, he had to give up and just wrap some more iron sheets in the bow of the ship. However, the frontal impact intensity of the Guardian fleet is second to none in the East Asian seas.

The ship that happened to be in front of it was slow to prepare, and although it had closed its anchor and raised its sails, its direction had not yet been adjusted, and it was still facing the guard from the side. According to Wei Xun's idea, I will directly knock you away, and take advantage of the trend to the east, and then run away from the side wind!

He was holding the mast tightly with both hands, steady, and at the same time staring at the enemy ship with his eyes unblinking, guarding against the powerful impact of the impact, when suddenly there was a "whoosh", and a feathered arrow was nailed to the mast impartially, just over an inch away from his left hand. Wei Xun let go of his hands instinctively, sat on the deck, and then shouted, "I also have arrows...... Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! The house slave next to him also helped to add: "Release the rocket, release the rocket quickly!" ”

Liaodong was originally a troop transport ship, and after Liu Xu led his troops to land, the guards who stayed on the ship were only seven or eight on each ship, and the rest were sailors without weapons, so the opponent's first round of feather arrows did not hurt anyone at all. On the other hand, the ships were full of more than 100 sailors, and more than half of them were ready to fight at any time, except for those who had to paddle, rudder, and handle the sails. Therefore, when he gave an order, even if more than a dozen arrows were fired at the enemy ship, and the bow was strong and the head was fine, the archers on the enemy ship could not raise their heads.

Then came the second round of arrows - all rockets. According to the arrangement of the ship in advance, the ship stored a lot of vegetable oil in clay pots - no gunpowder was given, on the one hand, the gunpowder was easy to get damp at sea, and on the other hand, Xun himself did not have enough stocks, so he had to supply the army - when even a sailor opened the jar, soaked it with a strip of linen cloth, soaked it in grease, tied it to the back of the arrow cluster, lit it, and shot at the enemy ship.

The enemy sails were set on fire first, and the sparks flew wildly, the fire fell, and the deck was in chaos. At this time, the two ships were also approaching, and only a loud noise was heard, including Wei Xun himself, who had just risen, and more than half of the sailors on each side were overturned on the spot and rolled into a heap, and many of them were injured by the collision. Fortunately, although the guards overturned, their minds did not stop, and they shouted again: "Right rudder!" Roasting, fast baking! ”

The so-called "baking jade" or "baking fire arrow" in the original time and space was a weapon used by the Japanese more than 1,000 years later, that is, filling a clay pot with gunpowder, igniting it and throwing it into the enemy ship with a rope, causing an explosion and burning. It's just the weapon that Xun gave to them, and it's just plain oil, and another medicine twist sticks out of the mouth of the can, which can ignite - so this thing can start a fire, but it is absolutely impossible to explode. Shixun was lazy for a while, so he applied the Japanese name of the later generations and told Sù Weixun: "The name of this thing is baking." ”

Most of the sailors under Wei Xun's command were brave and strong, and many of them had experience fighting on land or sea, so they reacted quickly. When even a few people lit the roast, they danced the rope thrower and threw it fiercely. The clay pot fell into the enemy ship and shattered, and the grease flowed out, and in an instant a fire ignited.

Actually, strictly speaking. The ignition of such a fire on a ship is not a catastrophe. Experienced sailors can quickly cover it with fine sand. or cover it with a thick cloth and extinguish it. The problem was that there were not many sailors on the enemy ship, and they had just been hit by a violent collision, and almost everyone was rolling around with their heads in their hands, and they could not extinguish the flames in time. So there was a gap that had just been broken, and the sea poured in, and a raging fire spread on it, and the sailors managed to get up. The first thing to do was not to gag the mouth or extinguish the fire, but to jump into the sea - most of them were also experienced, and knew that the ship could not be saved, and if they did not flee at this time, if they waited for the ship to capsize and then jumped into the sea, they would surely be swallowed up by the whirlpool!

The remaining few infantry who assisted in the defense did not dare to jump into the sea, nor did they know how to put out the fire, so they simply held their heads and abandoned their weapons and called for help.

The large ships of Wei Xun also turned their rudder in the direction of due east, and sailed straight past the flanks of the enemy ship regiment. and they will flee. As soon as the Liaodong ships saw the friendly ship, they were hit and damaged by the enemy ship and set on fire. They were all shocked and didn't dare to stop Wei Xun. Anyway, the sails are raised, so let's just ram into the enemy ships that are shrinking behind and dare not move...... Let's turn on the way and run away from the fuck!

But seeing that they were about to approach, three of the five boats left on the other side turned the rudder and tried to escape, but two of them sailed straight up to meet them--this, this, should we chase and kill or escape?

If you want to talk about maritime trade, the wind and waves are unpredictable, and it is likely that you will make a lot of money in one trip, or you may go out and never come back, so the maritime merchants are more gambling than the land merchants. They did not dare to come forward, and they wanted to shrink back and watch the situation, but when they saw the guards in front of them, they severely damaged an enemy ship, and two of them were bold. Besides, these two still think, Wei Xun broke the enemy ship, and he may be able to atone for his sins when he goes back, and if the blame is put on our heads at that time, what will it be?

At this moment, these Youzhou ships are facing the wind, and when they see the enemy ships rushing towards them, if they turn around and escape, they are afraid that they will not be able to slow down, so the two of them will turn their hearts sideways - we will also rush forward and fight!

However, they did not dare to collide with the enemy ship on the opposite side - the enemy is downwind, we are against the wind, and even if the bow of the ship is covered with iron sheets, there is no guarantee that it will be able to collide - but they began to fire rockets from a distance, and then adjusted their course in a vain attempt to penetrate the gap between the enemy ships. On the spot, another Liaodong ship ignited a flame, and then the enemy and us passed by, and the brave Liaodong soldiers ordered the sailors to hook the enemy ship, put on the plank, and wanted to jump to the gang to fight.

The Youzhou boat didn't dare to jump with them - although there were many people on their own boat, they couldn't hold up the other party's boat, so they had to be tripped up for a while, and then another ship would collide with them from the side, so how could it be good? So he cut off the enemy's hook with a sharp blade, and on the other hand, he poured arrows on the enemy's ship to prevent the enemy from jumping.

There was one shipowner whose mind was alive and remembered in time: "What about the pat rod that makes you give us?" Spin! ”

So some sailors turned the lever towards the enemy ship, and suddenly broke the rope and let it go. The pole was more than two feet long, and one end was tied to a leather pocket, filled with boulders, and struck hard under the action of kinetic energy, when even if the bow of an enemy ship was smashed to pieces, the sea water poured in, and the ship tilted, and it was no longer possible to fight in parallel with the jumping gang.

The owner of the ship was overjoyed to see that the secret technique taught by the assassin was effective, and ordered the sailor to quickly pull the lever up again, and then turn to the enemy ship on the other side. Another Youzhou boat saw it from afar, and it hurriedly painted cats and tigers. So the arrows were fired indiscriminately, roasted and flying, and then the rod hit the boat, and in an instant, three Liaodong ships completely lost their combat effectiveness, and the rest of the people were frightened, shouted out, and fled in all directions.

In the battle on the sea, the people on the shore could not see the victory or defeat in a short time, and Liu Xu was surrounded by the remnants and wanted to flee to the sea, but from a distance, fireworks rose from many of his own sea boats. After Liu Xuxin finished speaking, there must be an enemy ship attacking, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pick me up and wait for me to go to sea in a short time. So he was forced to turn his horse's head and shout to gather his people.

I only heard him shout: "And when our boat repels the enemy, you can take us into the sea, if you can hold the shore, there is a way to live, otherwise, there is an ocean in front, and there is an enemy in the back, and we will die!" He who wants to live will turn back with me against the enemy! ”

Don't say it, the art of war has a cloud of "putting death and then rejuvenating", if this person is really driven to a corner, the desire to survive can trigger a powerful force. Dian Wei Ruo erected a flag behind the battle, shouting "those who surrender will not die", it is estimated that seventy percent of the Liaodong soldiers will abandon their weapons on the spot and kneel down, the problem Dian Wei did not expect to take prisoners, so those Liaodong defeated soldiers listened to the order of the main general, and soon regrouped again, and then lined up again.

Dian Wei sat on the big shield, looked at it from a distance, and said in his heart that it was not good—the coastal terrain was relatively wide, and the strength of our troops had declined, not only could we not continue to expand the results of the battle, but we might also be counterattacked by the enemy and suffer heavy losses. What does the book say? What can't you wear at the end of the crossbow? At this time, the portrayal of our army is also! (To be continued......)
