Chapter 42: Cloud Movement

The black pressure of the endless flotilla appeared on the horizon.

Dangkou's spirit was shocked, and the spear in his hand drew a strange trajectory in the air.

A melodious trumpet sounded at the flagship, and the ships that had been prepared for a long time became busy in an instant.

Buckets of black stuff with a disgusting smell were set up on trebuchets.

Oil, crude oil that has not undergone any refining. This thing was discovered very early, and the name is different in different places, stone paint, stone grease is different. Until Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty was officially named Petroleum, it is still used today.

In addition, unrefined crude oil burns with thick smoke and a peculiar smell, and ordinary people generally do not want to use it. In the Great Song Dynasty, another function was developed, ink making.

Of course, the player is here, although the system restricts the refining of oil, but direct burning is also a sharp weapon.

Originally, Wang Qing still wanted to fiddle with the level of his amateur military fan, and tried to recall the ancient naval battles, saying something T-shaped to grab a position or something, and was despised by Xue Lei.

That was all after the prevalence of artillery, and in order to increase the firepower, whoever flattened the ship first, so that more guns were facing the other side, had the advantage. Now, one shot, two strokes, three hooks.

One shot is the first round of attacks using long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, javelins, etc. Then there was the rush, and the bow of the warship was equipped with hard ramming angles. It's so direct.

This has to be said that another weapon that is almost installed on a large ship, the rod. It was an erected mast with a boulder on top, held in place by ropes. Once you get close to the enemy ship, cut the rope, and the boulder falls freely, slapping on the enemy ship, and the bow of the ship can be smashed directly. It's a pity that it can only be used once, and the judgment of the captain and sailor is quite demanding.

Wang Qing has few people and a shortage of ships, but he is not interested in relying too much on this means of fighting for his life. Through the relationship of the Tang Gate, a large number of bed crossbows and trebuchets were purchased, in order to reduce the enemy army in the first stage.

What was the best way to use water warfare in ancient times? Fire. The wooden hull, the cloth sails, and all kinds of ropes and debris are all flammable.

In the Song Dynasty, there was no oil production, but some shallow oil deposits from some geological activities were discovered and used.

But again, the player is coming.

A group of geology majors, and reality as a contrast, deep can not be dug, shallow can still be mined a lot. After all, this is a world of martial arts, as long as there are enough people, the efficiency is no worse than that of a machine.

Dangkou stood at the bow of the ship, his face gradually cold. Wang Qing didn't notice behind his back that Dangkou's expression at this time was almost the same as Xue Lei, who had entered a state of war.

Silently calculating the distance, soon, the gun was raised and waved.

On the mast of the ship, a soldier held a double flag, and when he saw this, he waved the flag.

Quack, hum.

Each ship that received the signal, at the same time excited the trebuchet.

Countless burning barrels flew out in response.

The sailors skillfully reset the trebuchet, put the barrel, lit it, put it.

A set of actions, more than a dozen sailors cooperate tacitly, and the flow is smooth, showing that they have been well trained.

The first casks were still far away, and the nearest was nearly a hundred meters from the enemy ships.

The bandits were taken aback by the sudden attack, but found that they were still far away, and they laughed at the panic of their opponents, all kinds of foul language, and presumptuousness. Water bandits, you can't expect them to be more civilized.

But soon, the bandits of the boats in the front row realized that something was wrong.

The wooden barrel smashed heavily on the surface of the river, and the fragile barrel body could not withstand the impact and exploded. Turned into a sea of fire and floated on the surface of the river.

Fire in the water, burning for a long time will not be extinguished.

Some of the water bandits who are a little knowledgeable shouted in horror, fire oil!

It was too late, and the ship at the head plunged headlong into the flames.

A barrel of oil was limited, and with the exception of a few unlucky ships that ignited the ropes, some small fires spread to the deck, and the threat was not great.

Before the bandits could breathe a sigh of relief, the second wave came.

This ancient trebuchet, although it has been improved by those masters of the Tang Sect, but the quasi-head still can't bear to look at it directly.

However, there are many bandit boats, and for the sake of strong momentum, the interval is not large. Once in range, you can smash eight or nine without leaving ten with your eyes closed.

The oil barrel smashed into the ship, and the fun was great. A cloud of fire covered the enemy ship, nothing did not burn, and water could not be extinguished.

There were screams, the boats were on fire, and the sailors jumped into the water to escape.

Losing control, the sails were burned to the brig's feet, the speed plummeted, and even began to drift down the river, drifting backwards.

The ships behind rushed to the rudder and avoided left and right.

Originally, it was a miscellaneous army united by many water villages, and his life was at stake, so he just wanted to escape by himself.

The originally neat fleet was in chaos in an instant.

In the cabin of a flagship at the rear of the fleet, several pairs of eyes watched the chaos ahead. A disdainful voice rang out.

"I'll just say, it's good for a few of us to raid the island directly, and a new first-class can turn the sky upside down. If you don't engage in these rabble, look at what a little trick can become. ”

Another, slightly muffled voice rang out.

"This incident was done by the water bandits, and it must be done by the water bandits. Heavenly King, Kunlun needs an explanation. ”

"Humph! Rebellious ministers and thieves, sooner or later, kill them all. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, wait a while to pick up the broadside, and directly raid their flagship. Also, that giant ship must be destroyed, and the face of the imperial court cannot be trampled on by them like this anymore. ”

As he spoke, a murderous aura spread out of his tone.

Dasanguan, one of the four passes in Guanzhong, guards the west gate of Chang'an. After the Great Scattered Pass, it is the Guanzhong Plain, which is almost unsafe.

An army of about 80,000 men quietly touched the vicinity of Guancheng.

There were 100,000 garrisons and nearly 200,000 miscellaneous servants. Although the army is not much, it can be ten times the enemy by virtue of the dangerous land. And as long as the enemy attacks and ignites the beacon fire, it will not take half a day for the defenders of Chang'an to rush to help. It's impregnable.

With only 80,000 people, do you want to hit a stone with an egg?

Of these 80,000 people, except for the 30,000 elites of Wangbei City led by the veteran Ji Shuban, the rest are all players.

As a scenic spot in reality, many people have come to see it. But the first time I saw it in the game, many people couldn't help but spit out a dirty word.

The system is too pitiful.

The walls are nearly thirty meters high, and they are not visible from the inside. What can be seen from the outside, there is no shortage of various defense facilities such as horse faces, arrow towers, and urn castles.

The serious ancient city wall, with a height of about ten meters, is a rare big city. But in the game world, just a dozen meters can't stop the martial arts masters who come and go. Not to mention the nearly 50-meter-high wall of Xiangyang, it is the 30-meter city pass in front of you, which makes people despair.

Thirty meters is nothing for a martial arts master, especially the uneven city wall. But that is in the case of light work, but the defenselessness of light work, facing the archer of a wall, is to die.

The players swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Nima, those animals in the staff department, you can't fool people.

This kind of heroic, this can be outwitted, and it is difficult to beat.

Swords and soldiers robbed, murder, arson, broken homes, and scattered people.

Xue Lei frowned, and there was a raging apocalyptic scene around him.

I was finally forced out, but forget it, it doesn't matter anymore.

After the Heavenly Ninja disciple took the medicine, he was completely burning his life and fighting, and he was not afraid of death. Xue Lei was forced to be helpless, and finally showed his fangs.

His ability is more to cooperate with the army, but even so, it is not a mere second-rate can compete with.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Ninja disciple gave up resistance after seeing the artistic conception attack, and smiled so brightly.

"Senior brother guessed well, you are really first-class. Haha, interesting. ”

After speaking, his breath quickly declined, and he died without waiting for Xue Lei to make a move. The Holy Fire Pill is so domineering, no matter whether it wins or loses, it will definitely die. This medicine is not for those fanatical religious elements, and no one really dares to use it.

Xue Lei looked unlucky, rubbing, he knew that he would hold on a little longer, and now he could find a reason for ridicule by Wang Qingna.
