Chapter 286: Assault Building Ship
The standard equipment of the ship was 100 wheelmen, 200 crossbowmen, 100 spearmen, and 100 axemen. But now, in order to increase the speed of the building ship to the fastest, Feng Jin asked a hundred sword and axe men to change to wheelmen and go all out.
Under the operation of two hundred strong men, the wheels were like flying, and the building boat was like a flying fish breaking through the water, showing a speed completely disproportionate to the huge volume. In just 100 steps, the building ship entered a state of full speed forward. The calm river was ploughed into a ditch by the bow of the boat, and the snow-white waves rolled down the sides of the boat, and quickly rolled back.
The beak-like metal ramming angle of the bow of the ship was like a galloping arrow, and in a matter of moments, it was forced in front of the Wei army's sailors. A medium-sized warship bore the brunt of the attack, and the Wei soldiers on board were stunned as they looked at the rapidly approaching ship. The drummer at the bow of the boat spread his hands outstretched, but he did not know when the drum pole fell into the water.
Lou boat, actually running as fast as Meng Chong?
The Wei soldiers didn't understand how the Shu people did it, but they all knew that the size of the two sides was not on the same level at all, and if there was a head-on collision, they would only have a shipturned and people died. Without the command of the boat behind them, the oarsmen reacted most instinctively.
"Turn, turn, get out of the way!" The oars were screaming as they paddled hard.
They reacted correctly, but they were too slow. Feng Jin had the intention to stand up, how could he let them escape, seeing that they wanted to turn away, Feng Jin immediately ordered to rush forward.
You don't need to adjust the direction, just rush up at full speed, relying on the liliang of the building boat, with the simplest and most direct attack: impact!
With a "boom", the bow of the building ship trembled, raised slightly, and then sank again. Continue to gallop forward. Everyone in the cabin could clearly hear the muffled sound of scraping against something on the belly of the ship.
It was the Wei warship that they had run over the water.
The piercing scraping sound was like the most beautiful fairy music, which stimulated the hearts of every Shu army soldier to surge, and they roared in unison. Accelerating again, a Wei warship rushed over.
Behind them, the surface of the water shook violently, and the bottom of the Wei warship, which had been forcibly pushed into the water, surfaced towards the sky. One by one, the Wei soldiers who fell into the water fluttered in the water, stirring the surface of the water into a ball. Before they could understand, they were greeted by a rain of arrows. The Wei army had no room for resistance at all. was shot by the Shu army and screamed again and again.
The first battle was won, the soldiers in the building ship worked harder and harder, the building ship was like a wild horse that had escaped, and the momentum of the Wei army was unstoppable. If you can't avoid it in time, in front of the building ship that is moving at full speed. They simply did not have the strength to fight at all. Bump, they are not opponents, and they don't have time to get close. While the ship was galloping, sharp arrows were constantly shooting out of the shooting holes on both sides. Shoot those Wei troops who were busy dodging in embarrassment, and they had no power to fight back at all.
"Turn left, turn left!" Feng Jin's keen eyes were closely focused on the ahead, and when he saw the Wei army's armored building ship coming into view, he immediately gave the order to turn.
"Turn leftβ" The wheelmen on the left shouted loudly, pulling the spinning wheels, reducing the rotation, the thick wheels made a gurgling sound, the wheel blades suddenly slowed down, and the boat deviated to the left.
Under all the gaze, the huge building boat drew a beautiful arc on the water, and lightly swept over the starboard side of the building ship that the Wei army rushed to the front, almost passing by. Thinking that a collision was inevitable, the Wei army soldiers, who had already made the worst plans, looked at the Shu army armored building ship speeding past in a daze, and wondered if they were dazzled.
This is like a big fat man of 280 pounds, but like a light dancer, standing on tiptoe and making a beautiful ballet standard operation. As long as you are a normal person, you will wonder if you are wrong.
On the body of the Lou boat, more than 30 small and medium-sized warships of the Shu army followed closely, shooting a rain of arrows at the Lou boat, and then rushed at Xiangxia A Wei army formation. Wei Jun hid behind the shield, listening to the sound of arrows hitting the shield and the sound of the ship's plank dissipating, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard another frightened scream in his ears: "Be careful, be careful!" β
The Wei soldiers looked at the shouting place in confusion, only to see that their captain was holding the railing with one hand and pointing to the distance, his face was hideous, and his eyes were about to protrude. Looking in the direction of his finger, many Wei soldiers also gasped.
A medium-sized warship of the Shu army, which was long and narrow, rushed towards their starboard side like a sharp arrow, and in front of the bow, a cold and shining bird's beak-like collision angle was faintly visible, almost all of which were hidden underwater, splitting a wave, and approaching quickly.
"Boom! Click! "The two ships collided.
Lou Chuan shook slightly, and then regained his composure, but the fear did not dissipate. Everyone knows that the sound just now was not a simple impact, but I am afraid that the collision angle hidden under the water of the Shu warship has broken their belly.
Sure enough, the oars in the cabin suddenly let out an exclamation: "The ship is broken, and the water is in!" β
Wei Jun immediately panicked, and the lieutenant let go of the railing and shouted loudly: "What is it called, quickly block it for me, block it!" He rushed to the side again, pointed at the retreating Shu warship, and shouted: "Shoot me, shoot them!" β
Wei archers stabbed the side of the ship and shot a dense rain of arrows at the Shu warships. However, they immediately discovered that such a shot was not of much use to the Shu army, and the Shu army's warships were covered with a layer of wooden planks, and even if a strong bow was fired, it would be difficult to hurt the Shu soldiers below.
Before they could find a way to deal with it, another Shu warship sped up, and the beak-like angle of the bow of the ship hit a large hole in the belly of the ship.
The river rushed in, carrying infinite panic, all the oars panicked, and the armored boat, which was not fast, completely stopped, and slowly tilted in the river. Those warships that were lucky enough not to be knocked over by Feng Jin surrounded the sinking ship, and they couldn't find a better way than to take their companions on the ship to their own ship.
On the hillside, Wu Yi's hands were clasped tightly together, and when Feng Jin's building boat passed by Wei Jun's building boat just now, he almost dug his nails into his flesh. The ships on both sides are about the same size, even if they are faster, once they collide together, they will suffer a lot of losses, and they will definitely not be able to be so brave. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he took a long breath and scolded: "Feng Jin, this erection, almost scared Lao Tzu's guts." β
"Haha, when he comes back, the general will punish him!" Wei Ba said with a smile.
"Yes, you have to be punished." Wu Yi scolded viciously: "However, I hope he can come back safe and sound to be punished." β
Wei Ba smiled but said nothing. He knew that although Wu Yi had not watched the sailor drill once or twice, he was still worried about this one-on-four battle, worried that if he could not fight the tiger, he would be injured by the tiger. However, he knew that as long as nothing else, the new warships driven by wheels had an absolute advantage in speed, which was enough to keep these Wei army sailors here.
The tactics studied by him, Feng Jin and others were very clear, not to use building ships against building ships, and small and medium-sized warships against small and medium-sized warships, if so, then the numerical superiority of the Wei army was enough to make up for the shortcomings on Jishu. He used the opposite, taking advantage of the speed advantage and protection ability of the Lou ship, forcibly broke through the Wei army's escort warship, and opened up a passage for the medium-sized warship equipped with special ramming angles, so that they could smoothly approach the Wei army's Lou ship. Wei Junlou's ship is slow and inflexible, so it is a huge target that can be hit with his eyes closed. It only takes one or two holes to turn these buildings into waste.
After getting these building ships, the building ships commanded by Feng Jin are the only giants, and they can calmly attack the small and medium-sized warships of the Wei army. The small and medium-sized warships of the Wei army did not have the kind of beak-like ramming angles, and it was difficult for the hull alone to cause substantial damage to the building ship. The two sides are not on the same level at all, and victory is expected.
Wei Ba's worry was whether Feng Jin could leave all these Wei warships here, and the deadliest weapon was the weapon that the enemy did not know. The speed of the new warship was his biggest reliance, and he didn't want the Wei army to know too early that only by keeping this killer weapon in his hands could he gain a greater advantage in the next battle. Once the Wei army knows this secret, even if the Wei army can't find a way to increase the speed of the building ship in a short time, they can offset this deficiency with their numerical superiority, at least they will be much more cautious, and they will not send it to the door as recklessly as they did today.
This is also the reason why he chose to fight the Wei army here, which seems to be a sign of weakness, but in fact, he wants to wipe out this Wei army's naval division.
He stared closely at the battlefield, staring at the rapidly advancing building ship.
Feng Jin was more nervous than Wei Ba, not surprisingly, he would be the general in command of this naval division in the future, and of course he didn't want this secret to be known by the Wei army. And to win more with less, and to wipe out the outnumbered enemy, he must strike with lightning speed, crippling the enemy before they realize the danger.
The two Wei Junlou ships in the center were in front of him, and Feng Jin immediately gave an order: "Turn right!" β
"Turn right!" The wheelmen agreed in unison, the wheelman on the left turned with all his strength, and the wheelman on the right grabbed the spinning wheel.
The huge building ship turned again and rushed towards the Wei army building ship that was walking side by side.
At this moment, the first building ship had just been hit, and it had not yet shown signs of sinking, and the Wei army behind did not realize the danger. They were just very shocked by the speed of the Shu Junlou ship, and when they saw the Shu Junlou ship rushing over, they unanimously made a choice, preparing to forcibly stop the Shu Junlou ship, which was extremely fast.
