Chapter 263: The Final Word
Chapter 263 is final
The fish ~ thunder of the Shu army have been thrown out by the "Angry Birds" of the trumpet~ out, although the accuracy of this thing is far less accurate than the rocket, but it is sinister enough, powerful enough, as long as one falls into the cabin, the crew inside will almost all be injured, close to the immediate loss of combat effectiveness, close to the injury is light, but also have to endure great pain to fight, combat effectiveness is greatly affected.
Even so, it was not all the means of the Shu army, if the ships of the two sides approached further, to a distance of about ten paces, the Shu naval army changed the means of attack again. At this time, instead of using "Angry Birds", they instead threw thunderbolts directly with their hands.
The single-operated trumpet "Angry Birds" has limited ejection power and cannot eject the bulky and thick thunderbolt ~ out, so the Firearms Research Institute specially developed the kind of lightweight fish ~ mine. Now that the ships of both sides are close to the range of the projectile, of course the sailors of the Shu Kingdom will not be polite to them, and immediately take out thunderbolts to greet them.
The charge of the Thunderbolt is several times that of the Fish ~ Mine, and the power is large enough to serve the crew of a ship. Throwing it directly by hand is actually higher than throwing it with the Angry Birds, and it is easier to throw it into the cabin. (As for the principle, I was trying to explain it just now, but I found that I couldn't explain it clearly, but you can experiment with it yourself, and it's easier to throw something into the boat with your hands than to punch something into the boat with a slingshot.) )
These Shu sailors are obviously well-trained, and they can throw thunderbolts so accurately on a rickety and fast-moving speedboat, and they must have been trained in peacetime. Not only is it the training of the grenadier subject, but also the skills of using "Angry Birds", shooting rockets, and operating boats, they are all pure ~ proficient.
Since the Dongwu people invented the use of warships and the tactics of wolves to deal with super warships, Guan Gong has also been thinking hard about how to counteract. After thinking about it, he found that the only ones that could deal with the ships were the ships, because these speedboats were too fast, maneuverable, and flexible, and it was difficult for other ships to catch up.
If you can't catch up with others, every means is in vain, is it against the air? Therefore, for a period of time, Guan Gong has been secretly training a fleet of warships, hoping to one day fight to the death with the ships of Soochow. Therefore, he selected some elites from the navy, stepped up the training of various skills for them, and used them as a surprise army, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the wolves of the Eastern Wu in one fell swoop.
In addition to human resources, under the influence of Liu Hou, Guan Gong also began to pay attention to equipment. In terms of quantity, it could not compare with the Soochow naval army, so Guan Gong had to find a way to find a way in terms of quality and weapons and equipment. The rocket method of warfare is a traditional tactic of this kind of speedboat, which will be used by both naval armies, but Guan Gong is not satisfied with this and wants to find more efficient weapons of destruction.
Thunderbolt was the first thing that came to his mind, but unfortunately the cast distance of this thing was too short, and it could only be used as a final ultimate when the two sides were close. And the battle between the warships is bound to be a chase battle at high speed. The use of ranged weapons is necessarily.
The range of the rocket is long enough, but the lethality is very limited, the thunderbolt is amazingly lethal, but the range is too close, there is still a blank space between the two, and the Shu army needs a medium-range weapon that can supplement the gap between them. Guan Gong thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, until he saw the "Angry Birds" who were sent from Chengdu to Jingzhou and then to the northern front.
He suddenly had an idea, thinking that this thing was suitable for use on warships, so he asked for a few to install on large warships, and after trying it, he found that it was really easy to use. Although the range of this thing is much closer than that of the fire~gun, it is also much lighter than the fire~gun, and it occupies less space, which can save a lot of space and load capacity, and is used to load more gun~ powder and soldiers.
It's a pity that the size is still too large to be installed on the ship, which is a bit of a pity for him. Later, Guan Ping inadvertently said: "Why are these things so big, can't the guys from the 'Ministry of Industry' make them smaller?" ”
Guan Ping's complaining words made him suddenly open when he heard Guan Gong's ears. That's right, isn't the "Ministry of Industry" opened by his nephew the emperor? That's his family's property, as the emperor's uncle and father-in-law, he doesn't want them to do whatever he wants? There's no reason why they shouldn't face themselves, a relative of the imperial family and an important minister of the imperial court, right?
Even if they really don't give face, they go to the little emperor and talk to him, will that kid not give face to himself? As soon as he thought of it, Guan Gong immediately sent an envoy to the "Ministry of Industry" in Chengdu day and night, found the relevant research institute, told them his ideas and requirements, and asked them to study solutions.
When the research institute and the firearms research institute received the request of this big man, of course they did not dare to slack off, and organized people to carry out research overnight. Of course, it is no problem to reduce the scale of the "Angry Birds", but the power will be greatly reduced, and the weight of the projectile items and the distance of the projectile will be reduced accordingly.
So, they set out to develop ammunition suitable for this small "Angry Birds" and can be used in water warfare, and finally after many tests, they finally developed this small fish ~ mine. This was the first battle between Fish ~ Ray and Trumpet "Angry Birds", and this battle did not disappoint everyone, and achieved good results in one fell swoop.
Guan Gong spent so much effort and made so many preparations, it can be said that everything is ready and only owes the east wind, but before the Dongwu Navy was powerful, the number of ships of the Dongwu Navy was several times that of the Shu Navy Army. If Guan Gong rashly threw out his 50 warships, he might not be able to please under the impact of several times the strength of others who are not afraid of death.
After the failure of the Northern Expedition, Guan Gong learned to forbear, and he has been waiting for the opportunity, until Sima Yi's strategy was successfully implemented and more than half of the Eastern Wu Navy was transferred.
As soon as the thunderbolt came out, the sailors on the Dongwu warship fell into bad luck, and the sailors of Shu were well-trained, and after lighting the thunderbolt, they had to wait for a while, and then throw it over until the lead was almost burned, so as to ensure that the thunderbolt exploded as soon as it landed on the opponent's ship, and would never give the other party a chance to pick it up and throw it back.
Anyone who was thrown into the cabin by a thunderbolt was either killed or injured on the ship, and even the ship was damaged. The ships of the Eastern Wu were so frightened that they did not dare to approach the speedboat of the Shu army, and soon the shape of the battlefield was reversed, and the original Dongwu naval army relied on the advantage of numbers to chase the Shu army, but now it is reversed, and it has become the Shu army chasing, and the Eastern Wu army is running.
This water battle lasted for half an hour, and the fight was fierce and highly watchable. Standing on the high ship, just watching the more than 100 speedboats below sail at high speed, chasing each other, stirring up waves, like drawing white lines on the sparkling river, can make people feel pleasing to the eye.
If you look at the rockets on both sides, the sound of killing shocks the sky, it can make people's blood boil, and when the Shu army sacrifices fish ~ thunder, thunderbolt thunder, it is thunder rumbling, and from time to time there are fish ~ thunder exploding in the water, stirring up water columns, comparable to a musical fountain. Occasionally, a ship was bombed, and suddenly there was a scream, sawdust flew everywhere, and the fire was blazing, which was a magnificent picture.
