Chapter 70: Encounters at Sea
The army was handed over to Qin Shubao, so Mu Han didn't have to worry too much.
When he returned, he gave the iron ore to the blacksmith shop, who arranged for it to be built.
The blacksmith shop has a large order, has a large number of good mines, and can train a lot of talents, so the blacksmith shop plans to arrange dozens of more apprentices to enter.
"Master Ding, please study these two drawings carefully and see if they can be used in the village." Mu Han handed over the two drawings given by Xiaoqu Shuai to the blacksmith master Ding Mao and said.
Ding Mao accepted the drawings and said that he would do his best.
After the arrangement, Mu Han explained the matter of herbs and charms again.
After the matter was arranged, Mu Han went to sea with Lin Chong.
This time I went to sea, the team was huge, and I directly brought 500 people out.
The fleet was divided into three and became three sub-fleets, and Lin Chong and them went out to explore.
This time, the fleet has two large ships of 50 tons, 10 large ships of the 30 class, and 7 auxiliary ships of the 30 ton class.
The procession marched south.
Half a day later, Mu Han and the others passed by the island where the second- and third-order hardwoods were found, and they did not stop and continued to go south.
In the evening, the procession continued south.
In the dark night, Mu Han had been cultivating until dawn.
Another day passed in the game, and the morning sun was mild, and Mu Han watched the morning glow for a while.
The fleet moved forward in an orderly manner, and did not deviate from the course in the vast sea.
I walked for another half day.
"Woo woo woo~"
Suddenly, several urgent short voices came, it was an emergency.
"Village Chief, there's a group of pirates ahead." Lin Chong said.
Mu Han took out a big knife and rushed forward.
There was indeed a pirate ahead, with 9 ships, one of which was even larger than Mu Han's 50 tons, and the other eight were all 30 tons.
"This is not a level 3 pirate." Lin Chong immediately judged it and said.
The two armies are already relatively close.
"Kill it."
Lin Chong knew that it was too late to evade, so he decisively ordered the impact.
The skull became more and more obvious, and Mu Han's heart was also excited.
The two fleets are close enough to see each other.
While moving forward, Lin Chong had been directing the auxiliary ships to slow down, and his own fleet was also separated in battle formation.
Two ships of the 50-ton class were close together, in the middle, ready to attract enemy fire.
"Launch."
The bolts in front of them were the first to strike, and four bolts roared out and attacked their large ship.
At a greater distance, three crossbow arrows did not hit the target, and one smashed into the hull of the ship, stirring up some sawdust.
The opposing ships were about the same height, and they had three crossbows in the bow.
At this time, their crossbows also roared, and three crossbows attacked and killed.
"Keep rushing up."
In the first round of the encounter, neither side took advantage.
"Launch."
The crossbow was fired again, and the opponent's crossbow was also attacked.
Approaching, the two sides were already loaded with bayonets, facing each other.
The surrounding boats also surrounded it.
For a while, many crossbow arrows on the sea were roaring, attacking each other.
"Bang~"
The bolt slammed into his ship, half-plunging into the hull.
None of the soldiers on either side had the courage to fight, nor were they afraid of the terrifying crossbow arrows.
Mu Han and the others had a slight advantage, because they had more bows and crossbows.
The same is true for small boats, Mu Han and the others have two small boats that are right on the side of the big ship, and when they shoot at other small boats, the crossbow arrows on the side can just attack their big ship.
Mu Han's ships have been modified, with some crossbow arrows installed in front and behind and on the sides.
"Bang~"
The crossbow roared away again, smashing through a piece of wood on the side of the ship, and a pirate stood there and attacked with a bow and arrow, only to be shot and killed.
In a short period of time, the two sides fired dozens of crossbow arrows at each other, and most of the crossbow arrows fell into the sea.
"Whoosh~"
The crossbow arrows have been attacking, and they just flew past Mu Han's ears.
The wind brought out by the crossbow arrows blew Mu Han's ears painfully, and Mu Han felt that this was a bit terrifying.
"Quick, concentrate on attacking their crossbows, and all four pairs of crossbow arrows are attacking in that direction."
Lin Chong shouted, and shouted to another big ship next to him.
The two sides continued to get closer, and four pairs of crossbows fired a salvo, facing each other's crossbows.
But the ship was sailing on the sea, always unsteady, the bows and crossbows were deflected, shooting other targets.
"Go on, salvo."
Lin Chong commanded a salvo of bows and crossbows, and the power of the salvo was relatively large.
The crossbow roared again, but was unlucky enough to shoot two archers, but missed the other's crossbow.
"Bang~"
Instead of hitting the opponent's crossbow, he was attacked himself, and a pair of crossbows were smashed and turned into debris.
"~"
Lin Chong scolded.
Several archers got to the side of the ship and had already begun to attack, and the two sides were firing at each other.
When the two sides reached a certain distance, they did not come closer, but circled in circles on the sea.
"Fetch two small boats."
Lin Chong asked the soldiers next to him to wave the order flag.
They have more bows and crossbows, and this is the right time to give full play to their firepower.
The crossbow continued to fire, and Mu Han saw a crossbow fly over, piercing one pirate, castrating, and piercing another pirate.
Mu Han saw that the crossbow had been hitting their mast again, and the mast was immediately broken.
The two sides fought fiercely.
Lin Chong was in command, and he couldn't take care of Mu Han, and Mu Han couldn't help at this time.
Mu Han also knows naval warfare, but he is not so skilled in commanding.
Two small boats were killed, and they approached and entangled with the big ship.
The two sides were killing hotly, and the crossbows continued to fly around.
Looking at the boat again, Mu Han and the others were a little more numerous, but they also beat half a catty.
Naval warfare is a test of command.
The two sides continued to wrestle.
"Bang~"
Finally, Mu Han's crossbow hit the opponent's crossbow, smashing the local crossbow to pieces.
The pirate's large ship lost a pair of crossbows, and its firepower suddenly dropped a lot.
Mu Han could hear the other party's leader scolding angrily.
Bows and arrows are flying, but the ships are shaking, and the attack effect is poor.
But from time to time, someone gets an arrow.
The two sides continued to fight, maybe it was Mu Han's luck that hit the opponent's bow and crossbow with another crossbow arrow, scrapping the opponent's bow and crossbow again.
In this way, the pirate's big ship was able to attack Mu Han, and their big ship was left with a pair of bows and crossbows.
"Approaching."
The other party has a pair of bows and crossbows, which can completely press them to fight, so Lin Chong let the fleet press up.
When the bow and crossbow get closer, the accuracy is greatly improved, and the opponent's personnel are repeatedly hit.
Mu Han saw that there were more than a dozen crossbow arrows stuck outside the hull.
The two sides continued to move closer, and other ships followed.
The two sides were already facing each other, and Mu Han was holding a big knife, ready to jump over and fight at any time.
"Archers, concentrate on attacking the opponent's crossbow arrows, and don't let the crossbow fire again."
Lin Chong ordered to attack the opponent's crossbow and prevent them from firing, while Mu Han had three crossbows on his side, and although they were also attacked, they could still be fired.
