Chapter 612: The Battle on the River
Among all the 13,000 soldiers, Yang Rui's exclusive special class, the Scaly Armor Water Pawn, accounted for more than two-thirds, the remaining long-range archers only accounted for about one-third, and a small number of people were responsible for controlling 40 large national collapses.
The number of Ptolemy XIII's water reinforcements exceeded 100,000 soldiers, and the ratio of soldiers to soldiers was about 8:1.
Moreover, the 50,000 Rank 5 Anubis Slayers and the 50,000 Rank 5 Mummification Devourers who flowed out of Alexandria were evenly distributed among the three reinforcements, and one-third of the reinforcements from the Nile waterways.
Therefore, only from the analysis of combat power, Yang Rui's troops are completely at a disadvantage, his biggest advantage is 7 large and medium-sized warships, as well as his exclusive special troops, the 5th Order Scale Armor Water Pawn, and most of the opponents are transport ships, and there are not many escort ships.
In the plot of [Dong Zhuo's Rebellion] in the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region before, Yang Rui had used Ge boats, small clippers, and transport ships to outflank enemy lines, and he also gathered and annihilated Dong Zhuo's ferry boats across the river on the Yellow River many times.
However, at that time, Yang Rui relied on the number and flexibility of the ships, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo did not pay attention to the construction of the navy, and basically did not have a decent navy, which led Yang Rui to succeed repeatedly.
Nowadays, the shape of the Egyptian civilization area is very different, the original Ptolemaic Dynasty nest is in the port city - Alexandria City, and the Nile River in the area is very extensive, compared to the Ptolemaic Dynasty's water power is much stronger than the original Dong Zhuo.
However, these disparities did not affect the Nile resistance battle much, when the reinforcements from the waterways were numerically superior. The role of large warships soon became apparent.
The captain of the building is 70 zhang. It is 15 zhang wide. 10 zhang high, column female wall, battle grid, open window spear hole; The fighting ship is 30 zhang long, 8 zhang wide, 5 zhang high, the side of the ship is empty, the five feet inside the ship and the shed is built flush with the female wall, and the female wall is rearranged on the shed, and the arrow hole is set on the female wall; The length of the ship is 22 zhang. 5 zhang wide, 4 zhang high, with a special attack point, the cowhide covers the back of the boat, the two compartments open the holes, and there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right.
The common feature of the 7 warships in Yang Rui's hands is that the upper part of the ship is very tall, like a small castle, with special female walls and long-range and short-range attack points, and the materials used in the construction are all high-grade wood, so the entire hull is very strong.
This is also the guide. When the escort warships of Ptolemy XIII's waterway reinforcements rushed near Yang Rui's seven warships, they could only face them with a looking up vision. Even if the short-range attack can reach Yang Rui's troops, it is still at a disadvantage, and it is completely suppressed by Yang Rui's long-range archers!
Even if the waterway reinforcement warship can attack the hull of 7 warships, it is difficult to gnaw the durability of the hull, and at this time, the advantages of high-grade wood construction materials begin to be reflected, and the sword attack will not cause much damage for a while!
And because they were so overwhelmed by the ranged archers behind the female wall above, these soldiers didn't have much chance to attack the hulls of the seven ships
The situation of these waterway reinforcements can be described in two words - they have no way to start, and they are beaten passively!
This also directly created such a scene: more than 30 small and medium-sized Egyptian civilization-style warships, after the wolves surrounded Yang Rui's 7 large warships, they had no way to speak, so they could only spin around in place
"Boom! Rumble! Boom"
ââ
If it was said that when they were in a distant position before, the 40 large national collapses did not cause much damage to the other party, then when the opponent's more than 30 warships were close at hand, the large national collapses once again let out an angry roar, which was not the same in terms of accuracy and power.
With the sound of several cannons in the collapse of the large country, several warships surrounding the ship were immediately shot, and the hull was almost opened a large hole, and the bubbling Nile water instantly entered its cabin, and then slowly engulfed the hull.
"Whoosh"
"Puff! Poof"
ââ
At the same time as the large-scale national collapse was launched, the attack of more than 3,000 archers on the 7 warships never stopped, and the rain of arrows kept pouring down on the warships around below, and the sound of arrows hitting the flesh continued to sound, and the sound of pain and wailing resounded.
"Ping! Ping-pong! â
"Zila"
"Ahh Ugh"
Occasionally, when a soldier tried to attack or climb the 7 warships in the center, the 5th Rank Scaled Sailor who pressed on the side of the ship also began to exert his might.
As a fifth-order exclusive special class, the water surface is their paradise, if the archers hiding behind the female wall on the upper floor are still a little uncomfortable because of the shaking of the hull, and even have dizziness, vomiting and other phenomena, Yang Rui's exclusive special troops do not have such a problem as zĂ i at all.
Not only that, they made good use of every shaking of the hull, and each shaking would be converted into the moment of their attack, and every shaking was the best time for them to shoot, and in such a home battle, their strength also completely exploded.
What Anubis Slayer, what Mummy Devourer, in this battlefield environment, in the eyes of the scaly soldiers, they are not much different from ordinary soldiers!
"Hulala"
"Wow yes"
"How else is this going to be fought?"
"Run"
ââ
As several ships of reinforcements from the nearby waterways began to sink, some transports were also affected by the farther away, but some of them had already discovered that the situation was wrong in time and began to flee in the direction of the downstream.
However, this is only a part of it, the total number of ships on this route of reinforcements is five or six hundred, and most of the transport ships are still following the pace of their warships, which also makes the more than 30 warships in the core at this time unable to run away if they want to!
"Get out of the way!"
"Help!"
ââ
The soldiers on the transport ship did not understand the situation faced by the warships in front, but the warships that were beaten everywhere obviously could no longer hold on, and struggled to start jumping into the dense transport ships in the rear, and those who really couldn't break into it directly chose to rampage and kill!
The negative feelings are easy to spread, and the more than 30 warships in front of them quickly collapsed into a mess, and all the transport ships were impacted, but the more anxious they were, the more they spun in place, colliding with each other, and entangled inextricably
In the face of Yang Rui's 7 large warships, this surface reinforcement was already only able to escape at this time, but the speed of their ships also did not have any advantage! (To be continued......) R1292
