Chapter 654, the tough Liu Ye

"What's the situation?" The countless soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were puzzled.

According to common sense, even if the two sides are constantly approaching, when the stones from the trebuchet fall to the ground, they will not be able to reach the medium-sized building ship phalanx of the Jiangxia Navy Army. After all, the fleets of the two sides are not closing the distance head-on, but have an angle, and if it continues like this, it will soon become a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, instead of separating the upstream and downstream as it is now.

Medium-sized ships have a limited carrying capacity, and in such a large-scale battle, catapults are used to suppress or sink enemy medium-sized ships, and every stone on the ship carries the hope of the soldiers, hoping that every stone will make a contribution. It's impossible, but it's a hope.

This is true not only of the Jiangdong Army, but of every naval army.

But now, before the time comes, they have hastily started the catapult, which is undoubtedly consuming the hopes of the soldiers. Even if this order was given by the Grand Governor, even if it was possible that it was to test the enemy, such a useless effort would have disappointed the soldiers.

Disappointment is disappointment, but when the military order is issued, these people will still carry it out meticulously.

So, when the sound of the impact came, everyone was amazed.

Yes, under everyone's attention, the stone that flew up from the building ship glided in the air for an extremely long distance and slammed into Huang Zu's central building ship phalanx. Although most of them still fell into the water, they really attacked the medium-sized building ships of the Jiangxia Navy Army.

"Shhh Some knowledgeable people can't help but take a cold breath, this is definitely twice the attack distance of an ordinary catapult, and even more than the attack range of a medium-sized catapult.

Everyone knows that because of the carrying capacity, medium-sized building ships cannot be loaded with medium-sized catapults, and only large building ships will prepare medium-sized catapults.

"Could it be that the people in the Armory Workshop have developed a new type of catapult?" Someone thought in his heart.

"Whoosh ......" is a long story, but in fact, it is only an instant, since the first stone flew up, all the catapults have not stopped, continuously attacking the medium-sized building ships of the Jiangxia navy.

These sailors have never seen the battle of Shucheng, and if there are people who participated in the battle of Shucheng again, they will understand that this is not a new type of catapult, but a change of person who commands the catapult.

Yes, Liu Ye was in the naval army of the Jiangdong Army, commanding the catapult loaded on the ship.

At the beginning in Shu County, the catapults commanded by Liu Ye caused considerable trouble to the Jiangdong army besieging the city, destroying hundreds of siege catapults.

This is Liu Ye's toughness.

But it wasn't until Liu Ye and Lu Fan surrendered together that Liu Feng knew that he was still underestimating him, and Liu Ye, who was famous in history and offered Cao Cao a "thunderbolt" to help him break Yuan Shao, how could he only have such a little ability?

Doubling the attack range of the catapult at Tier 7 is only the most basic ability, and as long as it is in command of the catapult troops on the battlefield, it does not matter whether or not they are physically present. Obviously, when he was in Shucheng, Liu Ye was clumsy. Otherwise, not to mention bringing huge damage to the Jiangdong army besieging the city, with this ability alone, Liu Xun would never let him go when he left.

As a relative of the Han family, Liu Ye is of course unwilling to do things under a tyrannical thief, which is the main reason for his clumsiness.

When Liu Ye commanded the catapult, the attack distance was doubled, the attack damage was doubled, the accuracy was doubled, and the degree of equipment loss was halved...... In addition, he was also a great master of equipment, and mastered the method of making catapults.

Although the Thunderbolt has not yet been "invented", among its properties, there is already a "Thunderbolt" characteristic.

Characteristics, this attribute like a passive skill, even if Liu Feng has a large number of historical generals, not everyone has it.

With such "characteristics" in his body, Liu Feng believes that even if the special type of "Thunderbolt" cannot appear in the future, Liu Ye will definitely be able to develop this device.

Of course, Liu Feng will not let go of such a talent, and when he first arrived in Jiangdong, Liu Ye was arranged to manage the Ordnance Department and be responsible for the supervision of weapons. But it didn't take long for Liu Ye to get familiar with the situation, he was asked by Zhou Yu to join the navy, responsible for managing and commanding the catapults on the medium-sized building ship.

For Liu Ye, these two jobs are overkill, and Liu Ziyang in history is not only engaged in equipment research, but also an important adviser under Cao's father and son. But because he first entered Jiangdong, he couldn't suddenly be in a high position. Even Lu Su started as a middle-level officer.

Although it is overkill, it is not that it is not unimportant, for Zhou Yu, Liu Feng and the entire Jiangdong, Liu Ye is very important to join the navy.

For no other reason than his ability to command catapults.

In the siege war, as long as the logistics keep up, Jiangdong can dispatch thousands of catapults to attack the city continuously, but in the navy, a medium-sized building ship can only load 8 catapults, and it is still in different positions, and the density of the attack is greatly reduced. And there are only more than 20 medium-sized building ships in the entire Jiangdong.

The Jingzhou Navy has always been Jiangdong's biggest imaginary enemy - of course, it has now become a reality, although Jiangdong's Navy has been developing for a long time, but combat effectiveness has always been a big problem, Zhou Yu took over too short a time, and the attack on Jingzhou is imminent. How to defeat the Jingzhou Navy in the shortest time and at the fastest speed is a problem that Liu Feng and Zhou Yu have always considered.

So Liu Ye was transferred to the navy.

The purpose of Liu Feng and Zhou Yu is, of course, to give full play to Liu Ye's maximum role and rely on his ability to make up for the lack of catapults. Otherwise, with the performance of a small catapult, when will it be possible to sink a medium-sized building ship.

And Liu Ye is the key to solving this problem.

Although his own strength is strong and he is already a 7th-order intelligent general, Liu Ye does not understand the navy, so he can only join the navy in advance for training to understand the performance of the building ship and the way of fighting on the river.

Two years of hard work were finally not in vain, outside the range of the enemy's catapult attack, Liu Ye shot for the first time, and damaged two medium-sized building ships.

……

In the distance, there was a lot of noise from the Jiangxia Chinese army, mixed with all kinds of roars and screams......

But this is not the end, but just the beginning. In the continued approach, outside the attack range of the Jiangxia catapult, the catapult commanded by Liu Ye carried out 5 attacks.

One medium-sized building ship is gradually sinking, seven or eight have been injured, two of the small building ships that have been affected have been sunk, and there are a number of other small warships.

The tragedy of Huang Zu continues.

The next scene made Huang Zu furious.
