Chapter 802: There is an Enemy in the East China Sea (Part II) (Second Update)

Water warfare is about the same as land warfare, or rather, like cavalry warfare.

Cavalry charges and kills, which require speed, and warships that fight also need speed. Interspersing requires speed, and impact requires speed. For large ships such as Lou Chuan, ramming is their most common tactic, relying only on their size, using the thick plank and the metal ramming angle of the bow to directly crush the small boat warship and impact the opponent of the same size, which is a tactic that every naval commander will prioritize.

Otherwise, the building ship would not have become a decisive liliang. Each building ship is a mobile battle fortress, a small city that can actively hit people.

If you want to have a higher speed, you must have enough acceleration time and acceleration distance, otherwise, it will be difficult for the haode boat to reach full speed, and you will definitely suffer in the face of faster opponents.

Seeing that the battleships of the Shu Han army were only speeding up for a long time, Zhuge Zhi was very happy. Since the opponent's warship is huge, the acceleration is bound to be slow, and the speed is bound to be limited, and it will naturally suffer a loss when it collides.

It can be seen that the general of the other side is a newcomer and does not understand water warfare at all. Otherwise, he would never have made such a mistake. Zhuge looked directly at the battle flag on the warship, he couldn't see what was written on it now, but he could roughly see that it was a compound surname.

I don't know where Wei Ba found such an idiot to send us a warship from thousands of miles away?

When Zhuge was proud, the forwards of the two sides had approached about two hundred paces, and several Meng Chong rushed out of the queue like arrows from the string, and rushed towards the oncoming Shu Han warships. Their speed is very fast, not the liliang when they hit. Rather, it is to shorten the time to rush through the arrow array. The number of warriors on the Meng Chong is small, and the bow and crossbow are not advantageous when firing, and they must rush into the enemy group in the shortest possible time, jumping in close combat, in order to give full play to the greatest advantage.

Behind them, Sergeant Wu on the medium-sized battleship drew his bow and arrows, ready to shoot. As in land warfare, about 100 paces is the best distance to shoot, because after all, the speed of a warship is not as fast as that of a man, and it is impossible to compare with a galloping warhorse. There was a lot of time left for shooting. Therefore, the importance of the sailor's bow and crossbow shooting is even greater, and it is the main means of long-range attack.

But something that surprised Wu Jun soon happened, the distance between the two sides had just entered two hundred steps, and some of the Wu soldiers had just caught up with arrows. Some had just taken off their shields. Not yet fully in combat mode. A black shadow suddenly jumped on the giant battleship opposite, and in an instant, the black shadow flew in front of the Wu soldiers with a loud roar.

The whoosh sound is endless. The overwhelming dense arrows shot through the bodies of the Wu soldiers, and the unprotected archers were hit hard, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen crossbowmen fell in a pool of blood, and even the shield bearers fell three or four people because of insufficient protection.

Zhuge was dumbfounded, his building boat was still more than three hundred steps away from the other party, but it was also attacked, several giant arrows like spears pierced the sky, crossed a distance of more than three hundred steps, as if through the clouds, tore the sky, and suddenly appeared in front of him. The spear-like arrows pierced the deck, shot a large hole, and wiped out the deck, and a few slightly smaller arrows were nailed to the deck and bulkhead, and the feathers trembled and buzzed.

Zhuge Zhi was inexplicably frightened, he looked at the building boat that was shooting frantically in the distance, and then looked at the giant arrow less than five steps away from him, a chill rose from his back, and rushed straight to the back of his head along his spine, making him feel a chill to the bone.

Three hundred paces away began to shoot, as soon as the shot was like a raging storm, not giving the opponent any time to breathe, the arrows were dense like clouds, the sky was dark, what a dense array of arrows? Where is a building ship, looking at the arrows that keep shooting, Zhuge intuitively feels that this is clearly a dragon that sprays rain, but now it is not ordinary rain, but a rain of arrows.

Zhuge Zhi was very embarrassed, he and the Wu soldiers on the ship did not expect that the other party would start attacking at such a distance, and they were caught off guard all of a sudden, and they didn't even have a chance to counterattack, so they were directly stunned. The surviving soldiers shouted, some raised their shields, some looked for a place to hide, and some pulled up their bows and arrows to counterattack, waiting for the long arrows to leave their hands, they reacted, their arrows could not shoot at all, and they could only accidentally injure their comrades in front.

The pressure on the soldiers of the Wu army who rushed to the front was far more direct and oppressive than Zhuge Zhi and the others on the ship. Before the soldiers of the Wu army could recover from the shock of being attacked by the rain of arrows, the huge ship had already rushed in front of them, and the huge figure was like a mountain pressing down. From a distance, I can only feel that this building ship is larger than ordinary ships, but it is not shocking. Now that they are so close to each other, they really feel the pressure brought by the huge volume.

The first few Meng Chong swept past the giant ship, they didn't dare to collide with such a battleship head-on, they were like rats facing a giant elephant, they didn't have the power to fight back at all, just the splash of the giant ship made their Meng Chong bump, unable to keep balance, if it really hit, there is only one possibility, there will be no accidents.

Relying on the flexibility of the hull, relying on the skillful oarsmanoeuvre ability and the tacit cooperation of many years of cooperation, several Meng Chong avoided the frontal collision with the giant ship in a millimeter, and rushed towards the medium-sized battleship behind, while the medium-sized battleship that met the giant ship head-on was not so lucky. The frightened Wu soldiers watched the giant ship run over unstoppably, but they didn't have time to adjust their direction. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they rushed through the rain of arrows and entered the shooting corner, but they did not feel the slightest joy. They watched as the huge ship, which was as majestic as a mountain, pressed down.

"Phew!" With a muffled sound, the general medium-sized battleship slammed into the huge ship, the bow sank down, the stern was cocked, and in the exclamation of the Wu soldiers, the warship quickly sank into the water.

The bow of the giant ship was raised, and then it sank again, as if shaking its body, its spirit was even more invigorated, and it continued to gallop forward, rushing towards the Zhuge Zhiza ship that was making an emergency turn a hundred steps away.

Zhuge Zhi's face turned blue, he saw with his own eyes that a battleship was pressed to the bottom, but he could not stop the enemy from continuing to advance. Now, the enemy was less than a hundred paces away from him, he could clearly feel the pressure of this huge ship, he didn't feel that the two sides collided, and he had any possibility of victory. His building ship was larger than an ordinary medium-sized warship, but his speed was also far inferior to that of a medium-sized warship, and he had no chance of being spared in front of this monster.

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!" Zhuge roared with a pale face.

More than a dozen helmsmen gritted their teeth, their muscles flexed, and they struggled to pull the seven or eight-foot-long rudder, trying to turn the ship at full speed. Although the speed of the building ship is not fast, but the volume is too large, it is a very difficult task to turn in a hurry to avoid the huge ship that is crashing, not to mention that there is a dense rain of arrows overhead, and in a few moments, three or four people fall from the arrows.

More soldiers of the Wu army rushed over with shields, some used shields to cover their companions, and some pulled the giant rudder together, turning the giant rudder to the limit. In a shocking moan, the boat began to turn with difficulty, and Xiangyou slid in front of him.

In front of the shadow of the giant ship, Zhuge Zhi saw the compound surname on the opponent's battle flag, and he was surprised to find that the other party was also surnamed Zhuge .

It turned out to be cannibalism with the same surname. Zhuge couldn't help but shudder. However, he immediately put this thought behind him, and although his ship turned in time, it was not completely out of danger, and the left side of the giant ship still pressed against him.

In Zhuge Zhi's frightened gaze, the two sides collided sideways, the building boat shook violently, the hull Xiangyou tilted sideways, Zhuge Zhi had already prepared, his legs were apart, his combat boots grabbed the deck, almost twisted and deformed, and his left hand tightly grasped the railing, maintaining the balance of his body. His guards were also experienced, and they each found a way to avoid the end of the fall. Most of the officers and men of the Wu army had many years of experience, and although the ship tilted as high as 30 degrees, it did not cause much commotion.

In a piercing friction sound, the two sides passed by, the left side of the boat was empty, and the fierce xiangxia fell, slapped on the water, causing a splash, and the boat made a creaking sound, shook a few times, and then slowly stabilized.

Zhuge was soaking wet, not only splashing, but also cold sweat. Had it not been for his timely order to turn the rudder, he believed that he would have been knocked over, if not pressed to the bottom like the medium-sized warship. Despite this, he had just walked around on the edge of life and death, and if the impact had been more intense, his ship would not have been able to avoid the doom of the bottom of the ship.

He looked at the huge ship in the distance and was terrified.

On the giant ship, Zhuge was full of spring breeze and was not worried at all. Zhou Yin also breathed a sigh of relief, he caught up with the sailor halfway, far from being as familiar with the performance of the giant ship as Zhuge Dan, and collided head-on with the slightly smaller building ship, the giant ship has an advantage, it is needless to say, but how much advantage it can have, he is not sure in his heart. Now the giant ship easily crushed a Wu army warship, and the side almost overturned Zhuge Zhi's ship, and the giant ship only shook slightly, and it didn't have much impact, the strength of the two sides is already very clear, even if it collides head-on, the giant ship will probably not have much impact except for slowing down.

"Zhongying, what's next?" Zhuge Dan turned his head, glanced at the boat that was still shaking behind him, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go back and clean up Zhuge Zhi, or continue to move forward?" ”

"Go ahead and go straight to Wei Wen." Zhou Yin sighed softly: "Zhuge Zhi's heart is broken, so leave it to Xiahou Governor to clean up." Only by keeping Wei Wen can we eat these three thousand sailors in one bite and fight Liwei for the first time. ”

Zhuge Dan chwowed slightly, put one hand behind his back, and stroked his short beard: "Just Yi Zhongying." Let Taichu pick up a bargain, and we will go directly to catch Wei Wen. ”…… (To be continued......)
