Chapter 1262: Crash and sink the Yedu!
The fleets of the two sides met again at 62.2 degrees east longitude, 24.5 degrees north latitude, and 60 nautical miles north of the Tropic of Cancer.
On this day, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, and the visibility on the sea reached twenty nautical miles.
The Great Qin fleet was imposing, and although the Roman fleet suffered many hardships, it also put on a fearless posture. As a result, the two sides competed against each other, and they set up a formation outside the maximum range of 400 meters, and the situation on the opponent's ship could be seen at this distance.
Qin Feng was wearing a military uniform, a golden helmet and golden armor, leaning on the heavenly sword on his waist, and his hand on the pergola to look at it, it was amazing. Although he could not see the appearance of a human being, he could see many black dots scurrying around on the deck of the enemy ship. And on the sail, there are also many black dots dotted, like sesame baked cakes that have not yet been baked.
Behind him, Pang Tongyi slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "There are so many mice!" ”
The monarch burst out laughing.
Guo Jia was very admiring and said with a smile: "The emperor's plan is really a divine plan, biological and chemical weapons, tsk, there are no military artists in the past!" ”
Jia Xu also arched his hand and said: "Looking at the behavior of the Romans, it is obvious that there is no good way to deal with rats, and I believe that soon these rats will be able to play a huge role." ”
Great Qin and Rome, between the two great masters on the sea, this is the same as two top masters, any small difference can break the balance, so that one side loses.
For the Romans, they were familiar with the situation on the sea, and even if the Qin army's formation was subtle, they could respond to all changes with the same. However, the concept of Hongwu Emperor's biochemical weapons is thousands of years ahead of the times, and it is really impossible to prevent it.
Qin Feng shook off the cloak with a golden face and red lining, and said with a smile: "Someone's coming." Cloth tea ceremony. He said to the ministers, "Let's drink tea for our rats." Buy time. ”
So, Emperor Hongwu laid down the tea dojo. Drink tea and chat with the ministers, and study government affairs.
And the Romans were on high alert and therefore did not have time to catch mice.
Since the Romans held out the confrontation, the two sides were very close, just a little outside the maximum range. The Roman dictatorial trio saw Emperor Hongwu drinking tea and chatting, and the three of them were furious.
Marinus said: "It's so hateful, it's too despicable! ”
Hippasos's face was extremely ugly and said: "It must be that Emperor Hongwu learned about the difficulties of our army, and he deliberately came to confront our army." Let's not have time to get rid of the rats! ”
Marinus waved his hand and said, "Let's take the initiative!" ”
Conon was shocked and shouted: "No, if our army takes the initiative to attack, it will lose the advantage of taking the initiative and detouring." If the Qin army has any formation, it will surround us ....... ”
The three of them were terrified together, and as a result, the effect of the joint dictatorship of the three was revealed, and the Roman fleet still maintained a confrontation that did not seek nothing but no fault.
Squeak ~ squeak, a few mice ran over. These little creatures. After the crowd, the courage also increased.
The faces of the three changed greatly, and they shouted together: "What about the cat, what about the Persian cat?" ”
There are guards centurions. Cautiously pointed: "Here, there!" ”
The three of them looked up and saw five Persian cats. Each climbed a mast and lazily lay on it.
It turns out these Persian cats. At first, they also scratch rats, but they have to deal with thousands of rats on a single basis. They were as tired as dead dogs. Later, the Persian cats also saw it. They found that this ship was really a wonderful world, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun on weekdays, and when they were hungry, they had a big meal at hand, and they didn't have to run around, and they lived a leisurely life from then on.
"It's so hateful, it's not a blessing to catch them, drive them down and catch mice!" Conon shouted.
However, cats and mice have always been active, not forced.
In this way, the Roman fleet began to confront the Great Qin fleet again. This time, the Great Qin fleet had the help of biological and chemical weapons, so Emperor Hongwu was very patient. The rat plague would disrupt the Roman fleet, and he was waiting for his chance.
As the days passed, the Roman fleet was always heard day and night, and the screams of humans were always heard.
The rat, too, has the concept of home, and it doesn't go there and burrow there. Instead, they go out at night to forage for food, and when they are full of food and drink, they return home to rest, and under normal circumstances, rats do not move.
And the Roman fleet set sail during the day, when the rats were resting at home, and when they opened their eyes and went out to sea.
In port, rats can get off the boat to forage for food, and it is good to gnaw on fresh grass roots. At the moment, however, the rats could not get off the ship, and there was nothing to eat on the ship, so the Romans had to use them as food.
When the rat is hungry, it is to eat everything.
Three days later, the rats went crazy with hunger and began to gnaw at the Roman battleships everywhere. Ancient ships were made of wood, and wood was edible for rats. Rats gnawed on Roman warships on a large scale, when they were hungry, and when they were full, they also gnawed their teeth. Subsequently, the rats found that the oil bomb was a good thing, the oil was good, the rats were good at stealing oil, and the oil of the oil bomb was similar to the lamp oil, and the rats were to eat it.
The angry screams of the dictatorial trio came, "Quickly hide all the fire oil bombs, they are all eaten by rats, what should the Great Qin people do when they attack!" ”
So, the sailors moved the oil bomb to another room and sealed it.
However, rats can burrow, and making holes in wooden planks is a breeze.
Early one morning, "Wow! The rats came in with a hole, and my oil bomb was all over, all over! ”
The dictatorial trio roared, "Eliminate the rats, the rats must be destroyed!" ”
Therefore, there was always the same scenario, which appeared on the ships of the Roman fleet. I saw the Roman soldiers holding brooms, chasing mice, and on the heights, the Persian cat squinted its eyes and yawned, looking at this qiē. The cat's heart was thinking, "These people are all swollen, there are so many mice, we cats are too lazy to care, what are you all worried about." ”
Emperor Hongwu's biochemical weapon was a fire oil bomb, and then he focused his attention on the crossbow arrows. This crossbow bolt is soaked in oil, so that it can catch fire at a moment, forming a greater lethality. Biochemical weapons love to eat oil, and the oil is on the wood, crunchy and fragrant.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the crossbow bolts have also been eaten!"
"What!" The dictatorial trio pulled their hands through their hair, nearly straightening the curly gold that was characteristic of ancient Rome.
For a time, the weapons of mass destruction of the Romans were massively exterminated by rats.
How can you fight a naval battle without ranged weapons?
"Retreat!" This time, the dictatorial trio was surprisingly unanimous.
The Roman fleet turned around and retreated, and the Great Qin fleet was nearby, and at a glance, Emperor Hongwu immediately got the news, and he laughed and said: "This must be the biological and chemical weapons that have played a role, set sail, chase!" ”
The Great Qin fleet began to pursue the Roman fleet, because the Roman fleet started first, the soldiers worked hard to survive, and the Great Qin fleet could not catch up for a while, but the Qin sailors rose up and were not left behind. Looking down from the sky, I saw two large piles of "ant colonies" floating on the water. The Roman fleet ran straight, and the Great Qin fleet chased straight after it. The Roman fleet turned and ran, and the Great Qin fleet turned and chased. No matter where the Roman fleet runs, the Great Qin fleet will chase there.
For a time, on the endless sea, it was really a hundred ships competing for thousands of sails, with the waves in front and the shore behind.
The next day.
Qin Feng took the lead on his Yedu and led the whole fleet to chase after him. On the bottom deck, the sailors who pedaled did their best, faster than the gym pedaling bikes. On deck, sailors control the sails and sing trumpets.
After chasing, it was found that several Roman warships were lagging behind. At the beginning, Qin Feng maintained a high degree of vigilance, only thinking that the Romans had some conspiracy. However, after going through it, it turned out that the ships had entered the water and began to sink themselves.
Qin Feng laughed, "This must be the credit of the biochemical weapon, which bit through the bottom plate." ”
The retainers began to stir up, and according to this, the destruction of the Roman fleet was just around the corner, and depending on the situation, it might be possible to eliminate it without loss. The ministers were excited and shouted: "This is the emperor's biological and chemical weapons!" "Singing praises one by one, admiring from the bottom of my heart, who would have thought that a little mouse would be able to make such a miraculous feat. In the whole world, only the Hongwu Emperor is alone.
And the Romans, without fire and oil bombs and crossbow arrows, did not dare to stop at all. No one will save the sunken warship, and the Qin army will certainly not save the enemy.
On the third day, Qin Feng had just come to the deck.
Pang Tong ran over as if he was invited, and said with his hands dancing: "Your Majesty, look, the speed of the Romans has slowed down, and the sails of the Romans are full of holes!" ”
The speed of the Roman fleet slowed down overall, and the Great Qin warships quickly caught up.
Emperor Hongwu was also able to clearly see the situation on the Roman battleship, and saw that on the Roman battleship, a man-rat war was being staged. The Romans frantically attacked the rats, which were driven mad and began to bite. There are timid rats that dare not bite, but they cannot stay in this place where there is no food. Qin Feng clearly saw that the swarms of rats had jumped into the sea.
What's even more weird is that high on the mast, there are always Persian cats poking their heads to watch the man-rat battle. The cat's heart doesn't understand, how can a creature like a human have such a deep hatred for mice!
The Qin army chased after them and began to fire fire oil bombs. The Romans, on the other hand, were gone with no more fire bombs and crossbow arrows, and all went into the stomachs of rats.
The sea was full of water, but there was a monstrous flame, and the Roman warships, which could not fight back, caught fire and fell silent.
Not willing to accept defeat, the dictatorial trio of the Romans brandished their command knives and let out a final roar, "Sink the Yedu!" ”
At first glance, it was very imposing, but before it could rush over, the whole ship caught fire, lost direction, and finally sank in the sea. The commander died, and the entire Roman fleet surrendered.
Only then did Daqin know that the rats had eaten up the fire oil bombs and crossbow arrows. In the face of such a great victory, it was really bloodless and unscathed, and the ministers of Great Qin were shocked, and praised the uniqueness of biological and chemical weapons and the prestige of Emperor Hongwu one by one. Even generals like Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Lu Meng are no exception.
They finally learned that they could destroy the enemy without bloodshed on the endless sea. (To be continued......)
