Picking up the sixth son, Lan Bing was still issuing orders, and not far behind him, two sailors got up, also covered in blood, and ran to the deck with shouts, looking for those who were still angry in the pile of corpses, pulling them up and continuing to work.

Now is the most dangerous moment for the Charger, with a total of 190 people, and less than 60 people can get up.

Lan Bing glanced at the speed and direction of the ship, rushed out of the command cabin, walked to the bed crossbow with the good crossbow gun, adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow, picked up the wooden hammer, lit the oil of fire, and smashed it on the crossbow machine.

Three ballistas fired at the pursuing enemy ship No. 3, and the ballista shot like a meteor hit the enemy ship, and coincidentally, one of the ballista guns hit the powder keg of the ship's bow gun.

"Boom ......"

With a loud bang, the Oto-3 ship seemed to be smashed on the bow of the ship by a giant's fist, and the violent explosion made the stern of the Austronian warship high, and countless sailors fell into the sea like dumplings.

The remaining few bed crossbows, Lan Bing fired all the crossbow guns regardless of it, they were already filled with fire oil, and these crossbow guns could not be recovered.

"Except for the necessary people, they all came to save people. Lan Bingdou's big tears kept falling down, but he couldn't hear the cry, and there was only endless coldness in his tone.

As early as when she listened to the story, Lan Bing knew that war was cruel, but no matter how smart she was, she still couldn't connect cruelty with reality.

This time, she felt it herself.

The effect of several modifications was finally revealed, and the charge was full of sails and crosswinds, and it actually ran at a high speed of eleven knots, and in the blink of an eye, the damaged enemy No. 2 ship was thrown out of the third chain of land.

The three battleships separated by the Austrians were one sunk and one seriously injured, and the No. 2 enemy ship, which was still chasing, was also constantly smoking, and the fire on the ship had been extinguished, but the smoke was still there, and the speed could not be raised, so I could only watch the Charge ride into the dust......

"Bastard, idiot!" the fleet commander Lei Jun scolded angrily, the Grand Fleet had sailed forward for more than ten miles, and the lookout reported the entire battle process to the commander without any mistakes, making him thunder.

You must know that this fleet, although there are only 350 warships, is the essence of the naval army of the Lomon Islands, and all the ships are the latest and largest, and they have also been reinforced before the war.

Artillery is not easy to obtain, even in Austria, it is also the most cutting-edge combat power, ordinary merchant ships can only be equipped with bed crossbows and trebuchets, even if they are warships, usually only equipped with two guns in the bow and stern.

And this fleet, all fully manned, each battleship had at least thirty-four guns, and most had three decks and sixty-six guns.

What he chased out just now was a second-class battleship, with thirty-four guns each, and a small battleship against Da Chu, and he actually hit such a result, do you think he can not be annoyed?

In the past six months or so, the reconnaissance of the Great Chu in the Solomon Islands is the most detailed is the two naval armies of the Great Chu, not only the number of warships is not large, but also the equipment and tactics are far behind the Austrians, and even the will to fight is very poor, especially the northern sailors, the Austrian naval army does not look down on them at all, and compared with the Austrian naval army, the northern naval army of Great Chu is an amateur.

But such an amateur sailor, in the case of three to one, hit the vanguard fleet hard.

If the battle is like this, it's still a hair, just run away, no matter how scummy the Dachu Navy is, the total number of warships of the people is there, and it is not much less than the warships of the Austrians.

Twenty miles off the coast of Chunjiang Prefecture, the Northern Navy Charge fired the first shot of Dachu and the Austrians, sinking and severely damaging one Austrian warship and lightly wounding one.

This result, in the eyes of later generations, is simply incomprehensible, in the subsequent hundreds of naval battles, large and small, Da Chu has been in a state of defeat and victory, until the ironclad ship appeared, to curb the undefeated momentum of the Austrian naval army.

This victory brought a lot of misinformation to Da Chu, Captain Lan Bing, for the sake of his own interests, made too many wrong choices, and sent back extremely misleading results.

For Lan Bing, she has done nothing wrong, and it can even be said that she is a national hero, using iron and fire, blood and tears to kill the Austrians.

At the same time, the information she brought back did not have any mistakes in itself, whether it was her choice and results at that time, it was not exaggerated in the slightest, but unfortunately she did not know that whether it was the seemingly powerful Southern Navy or the Northern Navy at sunset, the problem was not the officers and soldiers on the grassroots warships, but the upper commanders.

When the Charge returned to the base camp of the Northern Navy and made a detailed report to Shangguan, Shangguan took it for granted that the Austrian warships were numerous but very weak.

Everyone knows the situation of the Stormtrooper, it is okay to fight fishing, even if it is a war, they have never fought and do not know how to fight.

Even the Charge can achieve such results, it can be seen that the so-called Austrian strength is blown out, the number of warships may be a lot, but the strength is quite average, compared with the results, the command of the squadron arbitrarily believes that the strength of the Austrian warships should be weaker than large pirate groups, only the strength of medium-sized pirate groups.

As for the sonic boom and the weapons that kill at the touch, they don't care at all, they have checked the Stormtroopers, and there are several places on the side of the ship that have been smashed, and judging from the traces, the general of the detachment thinks that it is a trebuchet, this thing is not new.

Although the life of the northern naval army was not easy, and the number of warships and personnel was only one-third of that on the roster, there were still trebuchets and a lot of bed crossbows.

What are you waiting for, the one who killed the special mother, the first merit!

Less than six hours after the Charge returned to the military port, the Northern Navy gathered nearly 400 warships to kill the Austrian Navy.

I won't say what the result was, it was far from enough to describe it as cruel, and the result was beaten hundreds to zero, the fleet commander was killed in battle, and the loss of personnel was nearly 10,000.

At the same time, in the first dry ship tungsten in the repulse bay of the Nanzhang Shengong Temple, the experimental No. 1 has been completed, this iron ship is only about 20 meters long, without any decoration, weapons, pure bare ship.

With Zhang Tan's order, the dry ship tungsten opened the gate and released the water, and it took thirty-one and a half days to build the experimental No. 1, which slowly floated up as the sea water entered the tungsten ship, and gently rippled with the sea water.

Although he has accepted the incredible theory of Lei Shi, when Xiao Man saw with his own eyes that the iron ship he participated in building, the special mother actually floated, how can you make sense in this matter, iron boat, do you understand, it is all a ship made of iron, it can float on the sea?

When the seawater was filled and closed, the boat stopped, and Zhang Tan gave an order, and dozens of boatmen boldly got on the boat, carrying small hammers in their hands, and beat around the hull to find the wrong place.

The first time the ship was cast by the pouring method, there were naturally many problems, although it had been repeatedly checked in advance, there were still six water leaks, and more than a dozen places where the welding was not firm.

It doesn't matter, this is a matter that has been thought about for a long time, the molten iron has long been prepared, sent to the ship, all the deficiencies are repaired, and then struck hard with a small hammer.

The small hammer is no problem, change to the medium hammer, continue to knock, it is said that this is to prevent virtual welding, all the shipwrights here, but the word virtual welding, are the first time I have heard of it. Fortunately, the principle is not difficult to understand, but it is not poured.

The hammer is followed by a sledgehammer, and the eighteen-pound hammer keeps knocking, and on the premise of not deforming the hull, it is knocked casually, especially the connection points of each pouring, which is the most important thing.

The whole process was very meticulous and took three full days to complete the first step of the survey.

Then hang up the sails, sail out of the dry tungsten, dry tungsten pumping, ready to start casting Experiment 2, an iron ship with a hull length of 35 meters.

Experiment No. 1 sailed at a turtle speed into the water wave test ship tungsten three miles away. What kind of broken name is this, from the name, the shipwright can't understand what it is used for.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, they are all old boatsmiths, and you can understand at a glance, this is used to test the performance in the waves of Experiment No. 1.

The tungsten of the water wave experiment ship is like a dam, one end is more than ten meters high, and the tungsten of the ship has been filled with water, and the experimental No. 1 enters the tungsten of the ship, locks it with iron chains, and all the personnel get off the boat.

Open the sluice gate and release the water, the first wave is as high as five meters, this kind of wave, people living inland, it is already quite scary, but people who can make a living at sea feel that this is normal.

As the saying goes, there is no wind on the sea, and the waves that are five meters high can only be regarded as medium waves, and fishermen go out to sea, at least a third of the time, they will encounter waves of more than five meters.

Experiment No. 1 is an iron boat, much heavier than a wooden boat, and it looks relaxed when it rises and falls in the waves at a height of five meters.

Xiao Man nodded again and again, although this iron ship is very bulky and extremely slow, but needless to say, it is not to mention the degree of sturdiness, no matter how bad it is, it is made of fine iron, and no matter how good the wood is, it can't be compared.

Next is the 10-meter wave, the experimental No. 1 will be in this wave boat tungsten, undergo a seven-day wave test, from morning to night, the personnel rotate the experiment, as long as the sea water is full, the gate will be opened and the water will be released.

On the third day, the hull found a few more inappropriate places, and continued to pour, and such experiments were indispensable before actually going to sea. After all, it is an iron ship, and Renault has no bottom in his heart about the pouring welding method.

The experiment, originally scheduled for seven days, was extended to ten days. After seven days, the boatmen felt that the safety should be fine, so in the next three days, the empty ship wave experiment became a manned water wave experiment, which not only increased the load, but also could detect the hull at any time, and some people even proposed that the sailors could be allowed to get on board and train while experimenting.

After more than half a month of experiments, Experiment No. 1 was a preliminary success, and at this time, the No. 2 experimental ship had also completed most of its progress.

In fact, the speed of making an iron ship is really faster than that of a wooden ship, and the process of laying the keel of the wooden ship is extremely complicated from laying the keel to the final completion, while the iron ship is much simpler, first casting the hull, and then pouring the connection, and it is finished.

Experiment No. 1 was successful, but Xiao Man had more doubts in his heart, the iron ship could be cast, but its speed was too slow, even if it was full of sails, its speed was less than one-third of that of a wooden ship, such a slow speed, let alone used in naval warfare, I am afraid that even maritime merchants could not look down on it.
