With the passage of time and the development of the battle situation, soon, the Qin officers and soldiers on the lifeboat were engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the first batch of fishing boats that rushed to their side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in the current situation of lack of effective long-range suppression means, many Qin officers and soldiers on the lifeboat found that they could only hide behind the two shieldmen in front of them many times.

"What are you hiding behind me?"

A Qin army commander looked back at the soldiers under his command helplessly.

And a Qin army crossbowman with an iron sword in his hand said to his chief with a bitter face: "My lord, if you don't go up, we won't be able to rush up!!"

In fact, when such a situation occurs, it is no wonder that the officers and soldiers behind this chief are not surprising. After all, they really did not have such combat training.

And these small lifeboats are not equipped with the corresponding equipment to deal with this situation.

As for them, like many Qin officers and soldiers, they also encountered a problem, that is, how should they climb onto the other party's fishing boat.

As a result, a lifeboat next to a fishing boat came up with a solution that was not the way to go.

The Qin officers and soldiers of this lifeboat, after stabbing down two Japanese with iron swords, then inserted iron swords into the hull one after another, and then some Qin officers and soldiers climbed directly along the "steps" paved with two or three iron swords and climbed onto the fishing boat.

In order to board the fishing boat, even the commander of the Qin army, who was in charge of defense, and another soldier had to throw their shields on the lifeboat.

"My lord, what should we do then???" The commander of the Qin army on the other lifeboats naturally found such a way, but then he found that some Qin army crossbowmen or the oarsmen behind looked at them in a helpless tone, and said such a sentence.

"After getting on the boat, follow behind the people in front of you to see if there are any weapons! If you have one, pick them up and continue to fight!" After many Qin army commanders said this sentence and made the officers and soldiers under their command not know what to say, the Qin officers and soldiers on the lifeboat quickly began to act.

......

Some of the ships were no longer alive, and they were even directly and slowly ignited by rockets, and the officers and soldiers of Qin who discovered this situation encountered a problem, that is, how should they get off the ship?

As a result, many Qin army commanders looked directly at the sea, and then said, "Jump down." ”

"Ah???h

"Do you think I'm joking with you? Either be roasted with these corpses and feed them to the fish, or jump into the sea and climb back into our boat!" the chief didn't waste much time explaining, just inserting the iron sword back into the scabbard, then took a deep breath and jumped directly into the sea from the side of the ship.

The soldiers of the Qin Army who saw this scene had to follow suit, because they could also feel the increasing temperature of the ship......

......

The number of Qin officers and soldiers who found that there were no living people on the fishing boat they boarded was relatively small.

Many Qin officers and soldiers, especially their commanders, climbed onto the opposing fishing boats, and soon got into a scuffle with the Japanese with shoddy weapons on board.

Compared to these enemies who they couldn't understand what the other party was shouting, and pounced on them, almost disorganized and formed combat methods, many Qin army commanders took a deep breath directly after glancing at their backs, and rushed towards these enemies with their long swords in both hands.

Soon, the chiefs discovered that enemy weapons were rarely able to withstand collisions without being severed.

Shi Chang, who didn't have much actual combat experience, would be slightly stunned for a moment, and then under the siege of other enemies, he was wounded or even pierced by the opponent with inferior weapons, piercing the leather armor on his body, and soon died because he was hit by the enemy many times.

And more people who have experienced battlefield situations will quickly come back to their senses and then deal with other enemies or make up for the same stunned enemy.

After a while, as more and more Qin officers and soldiers boarded these fishing boats, the Japanese gradually began to lose control of some of the fishing boats.

It's just that even Qin Min didn't know that on the backup ships of the Japanese fishing boat troops that came later, there was a big hero of Honshu Island at this time, that is, as the commander of the fishing boat force this time.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

In the middle of the two fleets was the sea zone, where the level of fighting was becoming more and more intense.

Many of the fishing boats in front of them either burned directly, and occasionally you could see Japanese or Qin officers and soldiers jumping directly into the sea.

And the other small lifeboats of the Qin army were not idle, it was not that they did not want to go up to the front to support the friendly forces, but they were powerless. After all, in this place, many abandoned fishing boats are either drifting with the current or being collided with lifeboats, almost restricting the forward route of the subsequent lifeboat troops.

Of course, they didn't have no work to do, that is, as long as they saw Japanese struggling in the water or swimming nearby, the Qin officers and soldiers on these lifeboats didn't mind giving them a ride.

And when they meet friendly forces in the sea due to various factors, they don't mind saving one or two people.

Of course, no matter how much it is, it won't be, after all, this kind of small lifeboat can only seat 12 people at most.

Soon, these Qin officers and soldiers found that they were not in the front of themselves, and they were fighting with the enemy on the fishing boat, or the comrades who were constantly shooting arrows in front of the big ship, because there were too many Japanese who fell into the water, and they could say that they were a little soft to cut people.

However, after some time, they saw an unbelievable situation happening before their eyes.

Many of the Japanese fishing boats in front of them were in the melee, and the Qin officers and soldiers on some lifeboats could even clearly see that some of their own people or enemies were thrown into the sea or kicked down.

As for this situation, the fishing boats behind can't see it???

Many officers and soldiers of Qin were able to see such a situation artificially in this matter. After all, those fishing boats are much taller than their small lifeboats.

What do they see?

What they saw was that many follow-up fishing boats directly collided with the boats blocking the road in front, and many officers and men of nearby lifeboats fell into the water again before they could breathe a sigh of relief.

Before many Qin officers and soldiers could see what was happening clearly on the sea, they saw the nearby fishing boats rushing directly to the west.

Many Qin officers and soldiers even saw that these fishing boats were only a few meters away from them, and they were so frightened that they swam directly in the opposite direction.

......

On the fishing boat that was hit, the Qin officers and soldiers who were fighting did not see anything after they got up on the board, and many people fell together again with the enemies around them because of the unstable center of gravity.

At this time, the Japanese should curse the people who sent them to fight, why they didn't equip them with armor or something.

Although the Qin army's Lou Chuanshi troops, only a small number of officers were equipped with iron armor. This is not to say that Zhang Jiashi wants to save money, but on the sea, iron armor or something is not as good as leather armor.

But in this situation where they can only use all parts of their bodies to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy many times, the leather armor on the Qin officers and soldiers can indeed offset more damage.

Of course, more people know that directly attacking the opponent's body is not actually a punch to the opponent's face or a knee or a punch to the opponent's vital point......

Soon, more and more Qin officers and soldiers got up by themselves or after their comrades stretched out their hands to pull them up from the plank, what they saw was that the fishing boat they were on was just pushing away for the enemy's other boat.

They really wanted to deal with the enemy who could even be said to be able to jump directly over the other party's boat, but seeing that these people actually had a color that looked more uniform and the bows and arrows they were holding in their hands, they knew that staying in this place like this, there was not much difference between waiting for death, and the officers and soldiers of Qin directly retreated and jumped into the sea from the other side.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

"Don't let the other party's fishing boat hit the fire!!"

Many captains of the Qin army who were on the front line saw that many of the enemy's fishing boats were not afraid of death, and brought up some fishing boats that were on fire from behind.

The captains of the Qin Army, who saw this scene, quickly discovered the other party's plan.

But in this case, the Qin officers and soldiers on the lifeboats who were preparing to meet each other in close combat did not have a good way, after all, their small lifeboats were even more resistant to collisions.

Several lifeboats were knocked over by the burning fishing boats in front of them before they collided with the other party's fishing boats, and most of the Qin officers and soldiers fell directly into the sea because the boats overturned.

Seeing such a situation, the Qin officers and soldiers on other lifeboats naturally did not want to "hit the stone with an egg". Although they can swim most of them, they don't think it's a good feeling to be in the water for an hour or two or more.

And before they thought about what they should do, they discovered the enemy archers on this group of fishing boats, and after they actually aimed at them, many Qin officers and soldiers on the lifeboat jumped directly from the boat into the sea.

After all, they don't have a shield in their hands, and they can still use an iron sword or an oar to shoot at each other, and the relatively dense arrows can't be used?

......

Captain Qin Jun, who saw this scene, knew that the small boat he sent out was basically useless.

At this time, Qin Min's ship once again conveyed the corresponding flag message.

After understanding the meaning of the flag, the flag bearers of the other ships of the Lou Ship Sergeant Unit quickly fed back to the ears of the captain of their own ship.

"My lord, Captain Qin has an order, let's raise the bed crossbow and shoot at the other side as much as possible!!"

Until now, these captains had not used bed crossbows, not because they thought that bed crossbows were useless, but because of the height of the ship, these bed crossbows were completely ineffective at all.

After thinking about it for a while, some captains didn't know what it meant, but as the other party got closer and closer, many of these captains used the methods they had in mind.

Some ordered four Qin soldiers to take the bed crossbow off the fixed frame, and four people carried the bed crossbow to a place with steps, the front two people were half-kneeling on the ground, while the two people in the back were standing on the board of the boat, and the three people were operating the bed crossbow to shoot.

After a while, the huge force transmitted by the bed crossbow caused the Qin soldiers on the four seat brackets to suffer a certain amount of shock injuries, and in this case, the other four Qin officers and soldiers were responsible for filling their positions.

In fact, this approach is not very effective, because many boats, there are steps where there are just a few places. It is not only the problem of personnel being injured, but also the accuracy of this is also difficult to guarantee.

There were many times, because of the powerful anti-shock force launched by the crossbow, the soldiers of the Qin army who were seated were injured, and the crossbow launched did not know where it flew at all.

And more captains of the Qin army are quite a relatively easy method. That is, the food bag in the cabin was used to raise the bed crossbow, and the Qin officers and soldiers who operated it only needed to fix the bed crossbow to reduce a lot of anti-shock force.

......

With the removal of the one-door bed crossbow and the use of the bed crossbow tactics inherited from the Lou boat soldiers of the Qin State, many of these Japanese fishing boats could not resist the destructive effect of the stout bed crossbow on the hull.

You know, the bed crossbows of this period, even the medium and light bed crossbows with poor tension, are not a problem to shoot through the city gates, not to mention that most of these crossbows are comparable to the crossbows fired by the heavy bed crossbows used to defend the city?

Soon, many of the crossbows fired out of the bed crossbows, because of the high depression angle shot, it was easy to penetrate these fishing boats, which could only be regarded as two planks in most positions.

Salt water poured into the cabin from the hole-pierced holes in the ship's plank.

As the flooding became more and more severe, many of them planned to attack the first line of defense constructed by the more than 20 large ships of the Qin army, and resist the follow-up fishing boats that were burning up and advancing directly, and the speed became slower and slower, until they were completely submerged by the sea......

This time, the Japanese can be regarded as a "broken cauldron and sinking the ship" mode of operation, and in the end they failed......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

History is more about the victors, and this sentence seems quite plausible at any time.

Later generations recorded that the naval battle that broke out in the Yang-Qin Inland Sea ended with a complete victory for the Qin army and the total annihilation of the Japanese fishing boat troops, which is in fact wrong.

At the very least, the Qin army and the survivors of the Japanese who experienced this battle are well aware of one fact.

The first large-scale naval battle (let's just say) of the Qin Army's Liaodong County Lou Ship Corpus, as the backbone of the predecessor of the Great Qin Empire's navy, went out to fight more than 70 medium and large ships, although there is no record of sinking.

However, more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Qin Army's Lou Boat Sergeant Unit were finally recorded as missing, and many people knew that these people were actually more than lucky.

In fact, it was not until more than 20 years after Zhang Jiashi's death that the Great Qin Empire, which officially included Japan's Hokkaido Island in its ruling area, finally did not figure out how many people were killed in this naval battle.

Perhaps, this has become a mystery.

On the other hand, the Japanese fishing boat units were also not completely wiped out. In fact, even if there were a large number of fishing boats that were directly "shot" and sunk by the Qin army's bed crossbows, there were still more than 200 or so fishing boats that did not sink.

Similarly, in the future, the Great Qin Empire's plan to verify the corresponding situation still failed.

According to the more mainstream version, in this naval battle of the Yang-Qin Inland Sea, the Qin army suffered about 2,000 casualties, while the Japanese suffered about 10,000 casualties.

......

This time the naval battle broke out quite a few problems.

Although the training of the Qin Army's building boat sergeant unit was sufficient, there were many problems that broke out in this naval battle, which Zhang Jiashi had to pay attention to.

(Some of these issues have already been described earlier and will not be repeated here.) ）

First of all, there is the problem of the ship's bed crossbow. Zhang Jiashi, who had never considered the need for a depression angle, after returning to Liaodong County, ordered the Liaodong military to renovate these bed crossbows.

Normally, this would not be a problem, but for a relatively small ship, these bed crossbows would not be able to do so.

Originally used to fight against the bed crossbow of the same level of ships, the problems exposed, Liaodong Military Construction finally designed a shooting bed crossbow frame similar to the adjustable height on the city wall as a way to improve the problem.

The newly designed bed crossbow frame allows a bed crossbow with a height of about five meters to fire a crossbow at an angle of up to minus 20 degrees.

However, after Zhang Jiashi saw the corresponding refitting fee statement, the corners of his eyes twitched several times......

As for lifeboats or assault boats, etc., corresponding improvements have also been made.

First of all, a fixed structure is designed under the middle seat of the lifeboat that can put about 100 crossbows, and under the other boats, there are barbed javelin hooks and ropes of corresponding lengths, which are used to facilitate the officers and men on the small lifeboat, so that it is easier for the officers and men on the small lifeboat to climb the enemy's ships.

This kind of design is also available in the kind of assault boats with 20 people, of course, there are corresponding improvements in some places, that is, some assault boats have a small bed crossbow in front of them, and in order to arrange this thing, the shipwrights of Liaodong Shipbuilding can only remove the seats in front.

At the same time, Zhang Jiashi began to consider the practicality of things like fishing javelins.

The bed crossbow of the Qin army did not have sufficient hooking ability, and through many tests of the Liaodong soldiers, even the crossbow of the triangular arrow could not effectively hook a wooden board without loosening.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi still ordered the craftsmen of Liaodong to create the corresponding wavy triangle style bed crossbow and firing type of short-rod harpoon.

Zhang Jiashi never imagined that his designs would bring him a decisive naval victory in an unexpected war......
