Chapter 499: Repeating the Old Trick
Seeing Cao Xiu so showy, Liu Qi chuckled and said, "If you take out the Feiyun Battleship at this time, I don't know how Cao Xiu should deal with it?" ”
During the period of the Three Kingdoms, if you talk about shipbuilding technology, you still have to be the first to promote Jiangdong, which even the Jingzhou Navy is not as good as it, Gan Ning, Lin Wen and others visit a trip to Chaisang Water Village, all amazed.
Ancient shipbuilding was the first to promote the Yue people, they traveled in the water and lived in the mountains, famous for their good boat making, forging weapons, for them to sail the boat is just the most basic survival skills, Lin Wen's technology is in the South Vietnam area to learn.
The building ship that appeared in the Three Kingdoms period was also the first large warship developed in Jiangdong, with three cabins on the deck, the appearance of a building, and it was a behemoth above the Yangtze River, which was enough to run rampant.
Ordinary small and medium-sized warships were torn apart as soon as they were hit by the building ship, even if they were close to the building ship for white-knuckle combat, they were condescendingly beaten and had no power to fight back, and even Liu Qi grabbed more than a dozen ships with a hook just now, which shows how powerful it is.
Cao Xiu's fighting ship set up a female wall around the ship, similar to the city wall, and more holes, can shoot arrows to attack from afar, can also use spears to defend closely, has been similar to the gunboats of later generations, it can be seen that the shipbuilding technology at this time has been very advanced.
Jiangdong also has two larger fighting ships, five stories high, called "Feiyun" and "Gaihai", which can accommodate 3,000 soldiers, and can drive on the deck, like a moving city, which can be called an aircraft carrier in the world.
When Zhou Yu went to sea, Sun Quan gave the fleet of battleships, and Feiyun stopped at Niuzhu, and the manpower and material resources invested by Eastern Wu in shipbuilding were even greater than the consumption of Cao's army in cavalry, and with the help of the danger of the Yangtze River to block the Wei attack for decades, the solidity of the three rivers was by no means a simple slogan.
Decades later, the young generation of military wizard Wang Jun was born, and he also had to build a warship of the same level in Yizhou, so that he could go down the river, break through the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and eliminate the Wu State.
Cao Xiu thought that building a few big ships and training for three years would be able to compete with the Jiangdong naval army, but he still took it for granted.
Lu Xun smiled lightly: "If people do their best and make the best use of things, the battle will be won." Now that the soldiers of the Wei army have not obtained their duties, and the warships have not obtained their positions, Cao Xiu will undoubtedly be defeated, so why do you need to move Feiyun lightly? ”
"Kill chickens with a knife?" Zhou Tai laughed and said: "I look forward to the crossbow brought by the general, one crossbow with ten rounds, the power of the warship will be greatly increased, and it will definitely surprise the Wei army." ”
All the generals nodded, the crossbow can shoot ten rounds at a time, and the strength is fierce, although the cost is slightly higher, but for the shipbuilding consumption in Jiangdong, it is nothing.
"Wolong is really a god and a man!" When he first saw the crossbow, Lu Xun was also shocked, and he didn't expect that Liu Qi would use it for the Jiangdong Navy without reservation, only this kind of bearing and courage are not comparable to Sun Quan.
While they were discussing, Cao Xiu had already sailed to the center of the river, pointed at Liu Qi and shouted: "Liu Qi, since you have written a war letter, why are you hiding in the rear?" ”
Lu Xun made a move, and the command ship broke through the waves, and on the bow of the ship, Liu Qi wore a silver light armor and a moon-white robe, standing with Lu Xun, both of them looked indifferent, incompatible with this bloody and chaotic scene.
Liu Qi said with a smile: "The generals of the Cao Thief clan have almost been captured by me, and you junior still dare to shout, do you have to follow in the footsteps of your predecessors?" ”
Cao Xiu was furious when he heard this: "Liu Qi is so rampant, he will be ashamed today." ”
"Cao Wenlie, Qianli Ju?" Liu Qi squinted at Cao Xiu and said slowly: "Warm horse! ”
Everyone was puzzled, but Lu Xun smiled and said: "The stronger the horse, the more competitive it can arouse the horse herder." ”
"It seems that Bo Yan is well versed in the joy of horse training!" Liu Qi smiled heartily, he didn't expect that Lu Xun looked polite, elegant and deep, but he was a person with a strong desire to control in his bones.
This kind of person is like a torrent hidden under an iceberg, on the surface it seems harmless to humans and animals, once it breaks out, it will destroy the world, and the surprise attack on Jingzhou and the battle of Yiling can see Lu Xun's deep and ruthless.
Cao Xiu saw that the two were talking and laughing, and if there was no one around, his face turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "Liu Qi, do you dare to fight me head-on?" ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "General Jiuwen has trained the navy for many years, and he has achieved something, so he might as well send out three hundred warships, what does the general think?" ”
Cao Xiu saw that Liu Qi didn't dare to fight alone, so he laughed condescendingly on the battleship: "Are you afraid of my big ship?" ”
Liu Qi chuckled: "Cao Wenlie, you have to remember: big, it doesn't necessarily work, the key depends on whether the technology is proficient." ”
"Hmph, today I will let you see the power of the Cao family's disciples!" Cao Xiu ordered the battleship to retreat.
Because of the breaking of Chang Diao, Niu Jin went to attack Houzhai again, so he asked the deputy general Cao Yong to command the fleet, not only to win the first place, boost the military prestige, but also buy time for Niu Jin.
Liu Qi watched the battle from the command platform, Lu Xun waved the command flag, transferred out 300 warships, and Zhou Tai personally commanded them.
The earth-shattering drums sounded again, and four horns were erected on both sides of Cao Xiu's fighting ship, which were trophies obtained from the Xianbei army, and the low and long horn sound was even more majestic above the water.
On the Huai River, Cao Yong led ten ships, three hundred ships, and countless other boats, with hidden knives and axes, just waiting to stop the enemy ship, and then board the boat to fight.
However, the Jiangdong side transferred 50 floor boats, which were neatly arranged on the surface of the river, and even connected by iron cables, and the small boats were hidden behind them, as if forming a city wall.
"Serial boats?" Xiahou Nan pointed at the iron ropes and shouted: "Liu Qi dares to use this trick again, use fire quickly." ”
The last time he saw Jingzhou connecting the boat with iron cables in Xiangshui, he had an idea to offer a series of plans to Cao Cao, but he didn't want to be burned by Zhou Yu in Weixu, and suffered heavy losses, becoming a joke of the whole army.
Now seeing Liu Qi's old tricks repeated, Xiahou Nan is excited, isn't this looking for death?
Cao Xiu frowned secretly, but felt that this matter was not so simple, Liu Qi was by no means a stupid person, how could he use it again if he burned the chain before?
"It's not too late to crush the building ship first, and then use fire!" Cao Xiu thought about it for a while, decided to test the reality first, and ordered the boat to prepare a rocket straw.
With the wave of the command flag, Cao Yong sent a hundred ships to open the way in front, and the erection ship followed up, although the attack of the ships just now was ineffective, but the formation must be disrupted.
The Wei warship sprinted at full speed, the soldiers rowed hard, the bow of the ship raised high, the iron cone shining coldly, and slammed into the huge building ship with the momentum of moths to the fire.
On the building ship in the center, Zhou Tai stood proudly with a gun, the scars on his eyebrow bones seemed to be shining with excitement, and when he saw the enemy ship approaching quickly, he shouted: "Throwing stones-"
I saw that on the Jiangdonglou ship, the catapults on both sides of the ship started at the same time, and huge stones fell from the sky, and the momentum was terrifying.
"Hmph, carving insect skills!" Cao Xiu smiled coldly.
The catapult had already seen it on the mustache last time, and this time it was not only equipped on its own warship, but also on the ship and the small ship.
The ship is agile and extremely fast, and the number of stones seems to be large, but the threat is not great, and it is necessary to use the ship to prevent the collision of the ship.
If two tigers compete, the stronger one wins, to see whose equipment is better and whose soldiers are more skilled.
