Chapter 292: Bursting Crossbow Arrow
On the ship, the soldiers of the Qiongzhou regiment looked at the screaming and swarming Japanese robbers, as if they were looking at fools.
In the same way, the Japanese looked at the Qiongzhou regimental training fleet that stayed where they were, and even took the initiative to adjust the direction of the bow, as if they were looking at a fool who took the initiative to seek death.
The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and Zhang Can, who was in charge of directing the battle, frowned involuntarily.
I don't know that the shogunate has issued a similar order for a reward, and the Qiongzhou regimental training is not clear, and now they are the fat in the eyes of the Japanese invaders, whoever can pounce on them and take a bite can get a reward, and whoever can kill their owner can become the pirate daimyo of the shogun's own seal!
With the identity of a pirate daimyo, in the future, on the East China Sea, all ships floating on the sea, I'm afraid not every one of them will be eligible to take taxes, right?
Even, with the identity of a daimyo or not, all of them have been whitewashed, and in the future, like the Matsuura family in Hirado Castle, they can find a place to engage in maritime trade, and the benefits contained in it are so great that even the fierce and vicious Japanese in the eyes of the world are willing to fight for it!
It was precisely this temptation that after the boats of the pirates appeared on the sea, they pulled their sails and moved at full speed, as for the scattered formation of the formation.
Twenty or thirty tall clippers rushed ahead, and more than three hundred small sampans behind were desperately chasing, Zhang Can only wanted to scold his mother!
As the commander of the Qiongzhou regiment training sea, Zhang Can is qualified to know some strategic layouts, and clearing out the pirates in the East China Sea has extremely profound significance for Hou Ye's future layout!
A little observation of these robbers in front of him can be found that they are improvised by many gangs.
In the past, it was a difficult thing to find these widows, but now it is not easy to take the initiative to gather together, if you can't catch them all, you will leave a great regret!
After all, what the hell will become of the defeated Japanese robbers, Zhang Can couldn't be clearer.
The vast sea is not as good as the land, and the most difficult point for the Qiongzhou group training is to find the traces of the other party, and the second difficulty is how to set up a boat to catch up with them after discovering the other party!
Like now, the pirates of the Japanese invaders are swarming and taking the initiative to gather to attack Qiongzhou's group training, which is simply an unavoidable thing!
Once the opponent's formation was stretched, the fleet of Qiongzhou regimental training launched an attack, and the tall clippers that rushed to the front naturally couldn't escape, but the small sampans that followed behind had a chance to escape.
For the pursuit of the sea, Zhang Can is not blind and arrogant, he knows where his and his brothers' shortcomings are, and he knows better what his and his brothers' strengths are.
If it weren't for Hou Ye and he was on the General at the moment, Zhang Can would definitely use the Qiongzhou regiment training himself as bait and risk putting the Japanese robbers closer before fighting, but now Hou Ye is in the fleet, but he is a little bit wrong......
Just when Zhang Can's eyes widened, staring at the Japanese ship that attacked like a locust, the general waved a flag and put it closer to fight, leaving no one behind!
Zhang Can instantly came to the spirit!
Hou Ye doesn't care about his safety, he has to take this opportunity to wipe out these widows, if I, Zhang Can, can't do this beautifully, wouldn't I be sorry for Hou Ye's trust?
The use of monoculars and flags made the entire fleet of Qiongzhou regimental practice as one, and the seven sea ships turned their bows to face the incoming Japanese invaders, and the flying thunder cannon was not used for the time being, and the bed crossbow was fired!
On the surface of the sea, the wind is high and the waves are fast, and even if it is something like a bed crossbow, the hit rate is very touching.
However, when the ships of the Japanese invaders all pounced on the fleet of the Qiongzhou regiment in a straight line, if the bed crossbow could not be shot again, it would be impossible to say!
"Pass the order and replace all the blasting bolts!"
The bed crossbows practiced by the Qiongzhou regiment are all fixed at the bow position, which cannot be transformed or moved, which is essentially different from the trebuchet.
This is the limitation that science and technology can't keep up with at the moment, Zhao Hengyi and Zhang Daniu mentioned that they had to install a turntable base that could be rotated on the bed crossbow, thinking that there was ready-made tungsten steel, and it would be very simple to make, but Zhang Daniu and Wu Ren chatted for a long time, and said in unison that they couldn't make it.
Seemingly simple things, which involve the technology of the current Yushuwan smelting workshop, Zhao Hengyi, a half-asserted man, can't help, so he can only point out the direction and let Zhang Daniu and Wu Ren lead people to work in this direction.
On the sea, the red-eyed, howling pirates, driving a sail-full clipper, split the waves, and plunged straight into the fleet of Qiongzhou regimental training, almost the two sides approached in a straight line, and the bed crossbow could hit the target as long as the crossbow arrows were not shot into the sky!
The soldier who controlled the bed crossbow was sweating excitedly, there was no such a suitable opportunity, the most powerful weapon on our ship, but the most ridiculed by others, was finally about to raise his eyebrows!
With the command of the squad leader controlling the bed crossbow, the burst crossbow bolt was installed on the bed crossbow, and in the tooth-aching crunch, the heavy spring was snapped into the launch slot, and finally, with a howl from the squad leader, the huge mallet smashed into the bed crossbow!
Airplanes!
The metal reed suddenly broke free from its restraints, and the thick crossbow bolts tore through the air, like a black shadow that flashed away, and plunged straight into the Japanese sea ship that had already entered the firing range!
The black shadow of death submerged into the Japanese ship, and the sound of the ship's hull cracking reached everyone's ears, and then a huge roar sounded, seven bed crossbows, seven Japanese ships, and at the same time a terrifying fire ball bloomed on the sea!
A thermal weapon that has never appeared in a naval battle, hitting the target in actual combat for the first time, showing the same power as the artillery of later generations, really subverted everyone's cognition!
Even Zhao Hengyi, who was standing on the deck of the Great General and watching the battle, was shocked by the fire balls that bloomed one after another in front of him!
Zhang Daniu's gang, how much gunpowder did they fill in the bursting crossbow arrows?!
The power of this crossbow arrow when it explodes is not much worse than the modern artillery in Zhao Hengyi's memory!
In fact, it is still an illusion caused by the fragility of the wooden structure of ancient sea ships, even if the wood used to make a fine sea ship is extremely exquisite, strong and corrosion-resistant, almost just a requirement for entry, but after all, it still cannot be compared with the steel giants of later generations!
The arrows of the crossbow made of tungsten steel can easily tear through the wooden hull, no matter how strong the wood is!
Later, once the body of the arrow stuffed with gunpowder and various metal fragments is detonated, the energy released will not be wasted at all, and all of it will bloom inside the Japanese ship!
The scorching gas expanded rapidly, and the metal fragments that had no rules to speak of were frantically cut, causing extremely terrifying lethality!
Almost as soon as the ship exploded, there was no one left on board!
"Bed crossbow ready, load burst bolts!"
