Chapter 262: Little Bird and Fish #Thunder
Chapter 262 Little Bird and Fish ~ Thunder
Each ship has about 10 crew members, four for archery and attack, four for rowing, one at the helm, and one for firefighting.
The ships of the two armies chased each other and fired rockets at each other, and the men on both sides did not come up and be killed by taking advantage of the rain of arrows, either with the help of baffles or shields. Where the arrow was hit in the hull, a damage manager immediately came to cut off the arrow, remove the oil cloth, and extinguish the fire.
In this case, the crossbow machine that can be fired in conjunction with ~ is not very useful, although it can be fired in conjunction with ~, which makes the crossbow arrows fired per unit time a lot more, but the range of the horse crossbow is short, the power is small, and it cannot penetrate the shield and baffle at all, nor can it be hung with oilcloth.
Unless you're lucky enough to shoot ~ into an exposed air attack on the enemy, you won't be able to inflict damage on the enemy at all. What's the use of a crossbow bolt that doesn't do damage, even if you fire too many of them?
Although the rockets used by both sides cannot penetrate the shields and baffles, if the strips of cloth soaked in fire oil are not removed in time, there will always be a time when the ship will be burned. However, this time can be quite long, and with the hard work of the damage management staff to put out the fire, this time will become even longer. So both sides are consciously prioritizing ~ shooting the damage controller.
The battle situation was stalemate for a while, and the two sides chased each other and shot each other, and the cavalry and archery tactics of the later Mongol cavalry were quite similar, but the war horses under the crotch were replaced by clippers, and the single combat units were replaced by group battles.
The Shu army was small in number and suffered a lot of losses at first, but when the distance between the two sides was closer, the changes in the Shu army came out. I saw that the soldier in charge of shooting in the Shu army put away the crossbow arrow in his hand. Take out an extra-large iron wedge and insert the lower end into the pre-made round hole in the side of the boat.
These iron slingshots are similar to children's slingshots, but they are not made of trees, but made of stainless steel, and the thickness of the slingshots is twice as thick as that of ordinary children. The key is that there is no rubber band, so springs and belts are still used as bolsters.
A thickened wooden board was nailed to the side of the ship, and a round hole was opened on it, and the thickness and depth of the round hole were just suitable for the main trunk under these iron maids to insert ~ into it. This is one of Guan Gong's killer features, the smallest Angry Bird. Similar devices are basically available on large, medium and small vessels.
After the iron girl is inserted ~ into the round hole, it is fixed, and the soldier does not have to play with a slingshot like a child, holding the slingshot in one hand and pulling the slingshot with the other, but can pull the slingshot with both hands, so that you can get greater ejection power.
I saw these Shu soldiers take out a "cannon battle" as big as a third of a banana, ignite the lead from the thick incense stick inserted next to it, and then stuff it into the leather pocket of the big slingshot, stretch the two slingshots with both hands, squint one eye and aim at the target, and wait until the lead is burned in, both hands are loosened at the same time, and this cannon battle flies like a meteor to the ship of Dongwu.
Of course, these "cannon battles" are not real artillery battles, although they look a bit similar, but their real names are fish ~ thunder. Because they can be thrown into the water to explode, blow up or stun the fish in the water.
If you use them to catch fish, it is really trouble-free, and the efficiency is very amazing, in the waters where there are fish, point a fish ~ thunder and throw it down, after a muffled "bang", there will be countless big fish and small fish on the surface of the water with their stomachs, and the rest of the thing is to pick up these fish like picking up garbage.
These fish ~ mines are so easy to use, but it took some thought to develop them. In order to avoid the lead being soaked ~ wet by water after going into the water, making the fish ~ mine become a dumb mine, the guys from the Firearms Research Institute thought of a lot of ways.
First of all, the lead of this fish ~ thunder is divided into two parts, the outer part is purely for the convenience of the user to ignite, so before throwing or catapulting this fish ~ mine, you must wait for the outer part of the lead to burn out before it can be launched, otherwise once the fish ~ thunder falls into the water early, the water will soak the lead ~ wet, and this fish ~ thunder will naturally become a dumb mine.
In order to prevent water from pouring ~ into the fish ~ and the pedo along the lead channel after falling into the water, at first the researchers also made a valve-like thing with a thin bamboo strip in the lead hole, hoping that when the water gushes in, it can act as a one-way valve to prevent the water from entering. Only later did I find out that it was a bit redundant.
When the lead is burned into the fish ~ mine, the lead burns along the narrow channel all the way in, because the lead burns, a large amount of gas is generated, and these gases gush out of the lead hole~ out, and the strong air pressure can effectively prevent the river water from gushing ~ in, so even if the fish ~ mine falls into the water, it can explode.
This is the case now, the Shu Army's Ship launched ~ Fish ~ Thunder with a Trumpet Angry Bird, most of them fell around the target Ship, and exploded into a cloud of water. No way, the first launch, of course, the accuracy is a little worse, even if it is a fire ~ gun, you have to test fire to correct the coordinates first, and this is the same with a big slingshot.
However, after launching a few times, these Shu troops quickly adapted to it, and the accuracy became more and more accurate, and many fish ~ thunder flew onto the Dongwu ship, blowing up the Dongwu sailors to the point that they were drenched in blood, and they shouted.
These fish ~ thunder are small, and the charge is naturally small, if it is simply a paper roll ~ medicine, it may only blow people up and slightly injure them, and it is really not easy to kill people. However, of course, these military fish ~ mines cannot be so simple, they are mixed with thin steel needles, these steel needles are as thin as hair, as short as a fingernail, called "milli needles", because they are like hairs.
When the fish ~ thunder explodes, these milli needles are pushed by the huge momentum to scatter ~ out, like a rainstorm pear blossom. Once they penetrate the human body, into the flesh for three points, although not necessarily fatal, but the victory is in the number, once hit, often full of needles, made bloody.
Although the wound caused by these milli needles is not big, but after the person is full of ~ this kind of thing, it is also painful, and the pain is so painful that it makes people want to go crazy. Many Soochow soldiers lost their combat effectiveness on the spot due to this bombing, and they rolled on the ground in pain. The worst thing is the person who was shot ~ into the eye by a millineedle, it is not as simple as pain, but direct blindness, and from then on you can wear a pair of sunglasses and go to the bottom of the overpass to pull the erhu to beg for food.
This weapon is actually very vicious, and even if the recruited Soochow soldiers do not die for a while, most of them will suffer painful torture in the next few months, slowly suppurating due to wound infection, and finally die of sepsis systemic infection in extreme pain.
Because these milli needles are embedded in the flesh and hidden under the skin, it is difficult to find and even more difficult to take out. Who can watch the whole body of their flesh being ripped off piece by piece? What is the difference between this and Ling Chi's punishment?
Not everyone in this world can scrape bones to cure poison and play chess like Guan Gong, even if it is Guan Gong, scraping the bones of a place may be bearable, but let him cut his whole body, I'm afraid he may not be able to stand it.
Of course, there is hemp boiling powder, but don't forget, it is Hua Tuo's invention, this anesthetic patent is in Shu, except for the military doctors and people's hospitals in Shu, there is no other place, so these Dongwu sailors are doomed to the end of the cup.
