Chapter 114: Half a Day (Part II)
In the distance, a red dragon shape rose into the sky, and if you look closely, it is a red Jiao.
This red Jiao was covered in scaly wounds, constantly flowing blood, and even dropped a lot of scales.
A pair of dragon eyes, staring at themselves, slowly shed blood and tears.
Lin Zhengyang was inexplicable for a while.
This is clearly the red Jiao turned by Wu Hou's dragon qi.
What are you staring at me now?
Then he sneered and looked at the red Jiao outside the strong and dry ground and roared silently a few times.
Then, the sound of a dragon's groan faintly came from the sky.
Above a white cloud, a jade-like white dragon circled down, slowly coiling with the majesty of divinity.
The white dragon's body was faintly cloudy, and his eyes were also wide, not to be outdone.
After a while, less than a third of the remaining fleet of the Wu army was finally defeated.
The Han army won a great victory, sank more than 30 large ships, and pursued them away.
The red qi was blazing for a while, and the white dragon in the air also raised its head and rushed forward.
A dragon and a dragon are entangled in one place, constantly tearing.
The white dragon is strong and healthy, and it looks much stronger.
Chijiao was already a little weaker, and he was old and weak, and soon gradually lost his support, revealing signs of defeat.
"Our luck has obviously suppressed the Wu army, and this victory has been decided."
Luck is only the overall performance and influence, in the real battle, as long as the command is right, defeat the opponent, slowly decrease, even if the enemy's luck is superior for a while, it can be changed.
That's why success or failure cannot be judged by luck alone.
Because money, food, logistics, and even the quality of personnel are all part of the gas number, and the whole of them is combined into the total luck.
Any one of them is indispensable, and although there is luck without it, there will inevitably be big problems in wartime.
That's why it's so often the less the more······· No matter how high the luck is, it is only a comprehensive strength, which does not mean that it will not lose the battle.
Although luck alone cannot reflect the entire battle situation, when it occupies a technical advantage over its own naval ships, luck is suppressed again, so the next development can already be predicted.
As long as there are no major mistakes in strategy and tactics, maintaining this advantage will be a big victory.
"It's a pity······ It's still a little slow! ”
"Fire Thunder!"
Lin Zhengyang commanded to a herald beside him.
"No!"
The herald knelt down on one knee and took the order, and on the high platform, waving the flag, informed the fleet below.
Leng Dongliu, a close minister beside him, asked curiously:
"Your Majesty, what is Fire and Thunder? Is it also the new equipment of the sailor? ”
"Yes, whether it is the Wu army or our army, most of the sailors use wooden boats, and they are most afraid of fire attacks."
Lin Zhengyang was in a good mood, so he explained:
"This fire thunder is actually similar to the oil bombs of the past, thrown with a mechanism similar to a trebuchet, and if it hits an enemy ship, it will burn."
"It's also this time that the sailor has a new weapon, but the production is not high for the time being, and the price is a little more expensive, but as long as you win this battle, it's worth it."
Leng Dongliu suddenly understood.
There were early signs of this.
When he was still the king of Shu at that time, His Majesty ordered people to collect craftsmen from all over the world, set up official jurisdiction, and secretly set up factories to produce military supplies······ and ate and lodging in the barracks, and was heavily garrisoned.
Presumably, it was for the sake of the secrecy of these new weapons.
Looking at it today, the fruit is sharp.
The ministers of civil and military affairs present were all thinking about this when they saw it with their own eyes.
Then watching the battle, I saw the large camp of the Wu Army's naval division in the distance, and the ships that stretched for ten miles were lined up one by one, connected together, mighty and mighty, occupying a waterway.
From a distance, the black pressure is full of ships, which makes people fearful.
This is the elite of the Wu Army's naval division, a strong ship, and an elite soldier, which is the elite of the Wu Army's naval division accumulated by two generations before and after.
In addition to these obvious river boats, Lin Zhengyang also noticed some obviously taller sea boats.
"I have heard for a long time that Wu Hou has operated a maritime trade route and made a lot of profits, so it turns out that he really raised a navy."
From afar, I saw those big ships, all of which exuded a majestic and majestic atmosphere.
Lin Zhengyang's heart sank slightly.
Elite over the years, with its own prestige.
But he wasn't afraid at the moment.
No matter how elite it is, the hard conditions of this ship are there, and a battleship that is not covered with iron will easily sink when it collides·········
The drums of war between the two sides sounded, shaking both sides of the strait, stretching for dozens of miles.
The respective warships were lined up, and the deck was full of people, and the atmosphere was gloomy, and the battle was about to break out.
A strong wind hung on the water, and the ships of both sides kept approaching.
On the Han side, the baffle was first erected and the sails were lowered.
The baffles are made of solid wood, covered with iron plates, and are found on the left and right sides of the ship's cabin, which can block the stray arrows and catapult attacks, effectively providing protection.
When the sails are lowered, the holes on both sides of the hull are exposed, and the long oars stick out, paddling continuously, controlling the direction and angle as they get closer.
Next, it was time to prepare gunpowder.
As they approached, a volley of muskets fired, and the opposing bows and arrows fired back.
After three rounds of musket fire, a puff of green smoke filled the water, and the Wu army's fleet suddenly flew out of the flesh and fell to the ground.
On the opposite side, many bows and arrows also rained down, mixed with a large number of rockets.
It's just that it's all blocked by the baffle, and it doesn't have much effect.
The two ships then staggered, killing and wounding each other, and took the opportunity to reload their ammunition or redraw their bowstrings.
At this moment, many small black dots flew out of the Wu military ship and landed on the Wu military ship.
"Boom", "boom", "boom", several successive rumors were heard, and several flames exploded on the deck, in which grease carried countless dots of flames, splashing everywhere.
Soon, the Wu ship caught fire.
In the midst of the flames, some people were not dead for a while, wailing, and constantly running and jumping into the river.
The sound of "plopping" and "plopping" jumping into the river is endless.
"Put!"
"Papapapa", the deafening sound of fire rang out again.
Smoke filled the air, blood splattered, and pieces of enemy soldiers on another enemy ship fell.
They were shot and staggered backwards.
For a while, their eyes widened, and they still couldn't believe it before they died.
On the battlefield, there was the sound of muskets firing everywhere.
From time to time, there was a muffled sound of fire and thunder exploding, and then you could see another enemy ship caught in flames.
Black smoke filled the air, burning on fire, and for a while, the sound of shouting and screaming filled the river.
One after another, enemy ships caught fire, sank, or were routed after several rounds of muskets.
The use of new weapons has brought about a change in the tactics of the navy.
Hundreds of enemy ships, after a few rounds, lost sixty or seventy.
The mournful shouting of killing shook for dozens of miles.
The vanguard was dismal, and the subsequent fleet had to be pressed down, and finally slowly sunk.
Within half a day, more than 300 enemy ships were sunk, more than 20,000 people were killed, and more than 17,000 prisoners were captured.
Wu's army was defeated, and all the ships were burned.
