"General, Sun Cejun has already jumped over and occupied the roof of the cabin! What to do! They're condescending! ”

On the fighting ship where Tai Shici was personally seated, more and more Sun Cejun soldiers had jumped over. Sun Cejun's crossbowmen also condescendingly shot at the top of the ship's cabin, shooting Tai Shici's troops who dared to show their heads on the top of the fighting ship's cabin, ensuring that the cabin roof was completely occupied and stable, and then attacked the cabin below floor by floor.

"Don't panic! Hold the hatch! Pikemen block the door! Sun Ce didn't come in so quickly! ”

Tai Shici's face was resolute, the situation was already so critical, but he was still not flustered, and he still remembered Zhuge Jin's tactics before the war, and he was improvised.

Inspired by his composure, he also mustered up the courage to stab several hatches intensively with spears, and quickly stabbed Sun Cejun's warriors who tried to take the cabin first.

After Sun Cejun's first attempt to attack the door was frustrated and several warriors were killed at each hatch, his momentum was also suffocated, and he calmed down a little, and changed to a fish paste clay pot that threw torches into the hatch, and the fire immediately began to spread at the hatch, forcing the spearmen of Minister Tai Shici who blocked the door to retreat.

The fuel of "fish paste" still had many opportunities to show its face in the southern war in the late Han Dynasty, and both sides were no strangers.

In the original text of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is recorded that in the bridge section of the Battle of Chibi, it is written that Huang Gai deceived the Cao army and set fire to the specific technical operation, which was "carrying dry and dry firewood accumulated in it, pouring fish paste, and covering it with a red mantle".

In ancient times, when animal fat was expensive, the southern land of fish and rice was looking for fire oil, and fish paste was already the cheapest. It's just that this kind of fish paste is not the same as the grease that Zhuge Jin uses to make lamp oil and lighting.

The lamp oil must be made from cetacean mammals, which is less smoky, brighter, and more expensive.

The fish paste of ordinary arson, which uses waste oil from cheap miscellaneous fish, burns up a lot of smoke, and the fire is not very bright, but these disadvantages become advantages when setting fire, and the smoke is so large that the enemy can't open his eyes.

As a dozen clay pots shattered and spilled and ignited by torches, the pikemen in the hatch retreated, coughing.

Because of the flames, most of the attacking soldiers could not immediately kill into the cabin, and only a few fierce beings who were not afraid of death chose to rush in with fire.

The defending pikemen were caught off guard, and unexpectedly, someone rushed out of the fire and was instantly slashed at close range.

But more pikemen immediately turned their guns and stabbed at the firemen, stabbing them like pulp, both sides fighting in a life-for-life manner.

In the fierce battle, Tai Shici even personally killed two Jiangdong soldiers with a sword of chopping horses, he waved his blood, and secretly thought in his heart: These enemies attack so quickly, they must be the most elite of Sun Ce's side, and the only way to deal with them is to fight to the death by any means.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant in his heart, thinking that he would not go that far, and he was also worried that his subordinates would be resistant to such a risky and death-daring style of play. But Sun Ce left no way to survive and killed them all, which can be regarded as helping Tai Shici make up his mind.

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath and shouted:

"The Sun thief has already attacked with fire! Let's also let them taste the power of fire attack, take out the fish paste jar and dovetail torch in the compartment, open the porthole and smash the side of the ship with all my might!

Carry the bentonite mud in the bilge and prepare to extinguish the fire! Check your own bamboo armor and be ready to abandon ship at any time! ”

Tai Shi Ci issued several orders in an orderly manner, and the soldiers in the death battle also followed the orders.

It turned out that Tai Shi Ci's fighting ships also stored a lot of fish paste clay pots, which was also one of the back hands arranged by Zhuge Jin before the war, and told Tai Shi Ci to "if when luring the enemy, he is entangled by Sun Ce's main battleship, and Guan Yu and Lu Yi can't rescue him for a while, so use this trick to break the cauldron and sink the boat to severely damage the enemy."

Of course, this kind of trick, under normal circumstances, it must be able to be used without it, and it is easy to spread and burn the enemy during the broadside battle, which is just a trick in a desperate situation.

Soon, hundreds of pottery urns filled with fish paste were moved to the portholes of the ship's side, and then the soldiers opened the portholes that were originally closed to avoid arrows, and threw the pottery urns directly against the ship of Sun Cejun's ship.

The urns shattered, and the fish paste flowed down the bulwark, as if it had a tendency to flow into the river. But soon Tai Shi Ci's soldiers threw out the dovetail torch with an iron hook at the end, and set fire to all the flowing fish paste, forming a large thin flame.

This change was naturally immediately noticed by the soldiers of the attacking side, and the burned building ship was in a panic, and the soldiers who were at a loss for what to do were burned by the flames, and some even threw themselves directly into the river to extinguish the fire.

As for the other fighting ships under Tai Shi Ci's command, seeing that Tai Shi Ci's ships began to ignore the spread of the arson, they also realized that it was time to activate the backup gambling plan. Anyway, if you can't beat it normally, then set fire to the enemy.

The ships under Tai Shi Ci's command followed suit, and several Sun Ce's military buildings caught fire one after another. Including Sun Ce's own ship, at this moment, it was also engaged in a battle with a fighting ship of the Taishi Ci Department, and it was soon burned by the combination of a fish paste urn and a dovetail torch.

Chen Wu, who was on the same boat with Sun Ce and was responsible for guarding Sun Ce, immediately noticed the situation and quickly reported it to Sun Ce:

"My lord! Let's keep our distance! The enemy ships also began to throw fish paste urns and set them on fire! It's already burning outside the ship's side! ”

Sun Ce had a heroic temperament and was not moved at all, and after hearing about it, he was very bold enough to rush to the side of the ship and observe it with his own eyes. There were a few bows and arrows flying by, and Sun Ce was unmoved, as if he was not afraid of being shot at all.

The moment he saw the fire, Sun Ce was still slightly frightened in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure, and after retracting the battlement, he waved his hand arrogantly, signaling Chen Wu not to panic:

"Don't worry! Isn't it the kind of new torch called the swallowtail torch, the fish paste can't be hung on the side of the ship, and it will soon be washed into the river, and this ignition can be completely stopped and extinguished!

Hmph, Tai Shici is counting on using the same tricks he used to fight Liu Xun to deal with me, how can I be comparable to Liu Xun? In today's battle, the enemy ship is short and our ship is high, and our torches and fish paste urns can be thrown directly onto the deck of the enemy ship, and all of them will be caught.

If the enemy ship is lost, we can only throw it on the side of the ship, and the side of the ship is vertical, there is no bump, and the fish paste can't be hung! Even if you hang the water, you will go down! Immediately let the soldiers prepare to fetch water and wash! ”

For the swallowtail torch, a weapon of water warfare and city defense, Sun Ce has also heard of it. After all, this thing was originally invented by Liu Ye of Yuan Shujun and used in water warfare. Later, Zhuge Jin also copied the past and improved it slightly, and used his way to return the favor and kill Liu Ye's army.

Later, Liu Ye defended Hefei and Zhuge Jin attacked Huangzu's Xiakou, and they all used this kind of weapon, and it has been three years now, and the diffusion of technology is inevitable.

In the spring valley-wet beard battle between Guan Yu and Liu Xun back then, Guan Yu was able to use a dovetail torch with oil to kill Liu Xun, that was because Guan Yu's ship was big and Liu Xun's ship was small during the decisive battle, but today's situation is the opposite, and it is not surprising that Sun Ce is not afraid.

However, just after Sun Ce ordered to fight to the death and prepare to extinguish the fire, within a short time of tea, the Jiangdong Army side soon discovered a new abnormality.

"Why are these fish pastes so thick? It flowed down for a while and then stopped! It's hard to flush it down with water! ”

"Oh no! The ship's side has been burned through! This fire can't be extinguished! ”

As for why this happened, the soldiers under Sun Ce's command naturally couldn't figure it out even if they wanted to break their heads.

But for Zhuge Jin, "thickening the oil" is the easiest way. Many protagonists in the crossing like to add rubber juice and sugar to the grease to thicken and prevent extinguishing. But the Han Dynasty had no rubber, and there was no white sugar, let alone white sugar, even the cost of brown sugar was relatively expensive, much more expensive than fish paste.

But that's okay, there are too many alternatives to oil thickeners for people who are well-versed in all secondary school chemistry. Considering the environment of Guangling County, it is easy to think of whether it is to boil konjac/agar with kelp, or boil gelatin with pig skin, slightly mix it into fish paste to thicken, or mix several recipes together.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin spent a lot of time practicing before the war, and the tricks he came up with were the best solutions that he had tried repeatedly in the laboratory.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't understand the principle of the fuel in this new fish paste urn, but it didn't matter, as long as he knew its characteristics, could use it, and could give full play to its advantages, it was enough.

Soon, Sun Ce's nine ships, all of whom were engaged in battles with Tai Shici's fighting ships, were all burning in the arson that hurt each other, and a raging fire ignited.

Of course, Tai Shici's fighting ship itself was not spared, and when both sides were fixed by hooks, once the building ship with two or three times the tonnage advantage was completely burned, the fire would soon spread to the fighting ship.

What's more, Sun Ce himself also spared no effort to throw fish paste jars and torches on Tai Shici's fighting ship, and they were all thrown on the deck, so that they could all be caught. Tai Shi Ci desperately took out the reserve bentonite mud and poured it on the fire source and tried to extinguish the fire, but it only delayed the process and made himself burn more slowly than the enemy.

Tai Shici's face was pale and resolute, and when his warship was about to be fully on fire and difficult to move, he took one last look to the north, and then ordered the boat that was used as a lifeboat to be put down.

Before abandoning the ship, he was pleased to see that Guan Yu's main fleet had already engaged Sun Cejun's peripheral boat troops.

Because Sun Ce's large building ships were all entangled by themselves, most of them caught fire. The fighting ships, ships, and boats on the periphery of Sun Ce's army did not have any advantage in the face of the rush and shooting of Guan Yujun's new keel warship fleet.

Sun Ce's original intention was to concentrate on the building ships to first eat all of Liu Beijun's fighting ships, annihilate them all in the broadside battles or even capture them, completely extinguish the hidden danger of Tai Shici's "central flowering" first, and then turn back to fight Guan Yu and Lu Yi, who had copied the bread from outside.

However, in the process of eating the bait of "Central Flowering", Sun Ce's own capital ships were all hit, and they directly ended up in a situation, which was very embarrassing.

Tai Shici wore the armor that was customized before the war and tied up with bamboo tubes, and followed the guards around him down to the lifeboat.

There are also many surviving sailors of the Taishi Ci Department, because the boat is not enough, or it is too late to escape to the boat, they have jumped directly into the river, but most of them are also wearing bamboo lifejackets, unlike Sun Cejun's overboard sailors who need to swim and paddle to keep themselves from sinking, so the difference in survival difficulty is different.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was originally a simple armor made of bamboo, and this armor was passed down to Fuso in later generations, and it was still used until the so-called Warring States period, mainly for the "ashigaru" composed of peasant soldiers.

However, the original bamboo armor of the Han Dynasty was cut into bamboo pieces and then braided together.

In the preparation period before this battle, Zhuge Jin created an additional armor for the Taishi Ci Department to perform the most dangerous mission, but it was directly connected with a hollow bamboo tube.

This also saves the amount of labor in processing bamboo chips, and the production is extremely fast, as long as there is enough bamboo for you to cut, cut down and string it together directly to be armor, faster than a bamboo raft, almost no business.

In this way, the hollow part of the bamboo tube provides great reserve buoyancy, and the effect is not worse than that of a modern life jacket.

In order to ensure the life-saving effect after entering the water, this kind of bamboo armor only has a top, and at the same time there is a tie through the crotch to ensure that the legs are facing down after entering the water, the upper body is floated upward, and the head can definitely breathe outside the water, which is very scientific.

Tai Shi Ci used several old-fashioned fighting ships that were about to be eliminated to be burned down, exerted his residual heat, and easily dragged Sun Ce's main building ship into the water, and died together.

I have a ship of 200 tons and more than 300 people in wartime. You have a ship of 600 tons, and you have more than 800 men in wartime. The limit is one for one and there is no loss, not to mention that we still have life jackets - to say a word of conscience, if Liu Bei's side can win all of today's battle, Tai Shici will definitely be the first merit.

Guan Yu and Lu Yi only harvested the endgame, even if they killed and captured more prisoners than Tai Shi Ci in the end, they could not compare to the credit of Tai Shi Ci Center's flowering and directly dragging the enemy's main force to death.

Sun Ce's people could only jump into the river without protection in the face of the raging fire, but Tai Shici could wear a life jacket and wait for Guan Yu to end the battle, and then come over to clean up the battlefield and rescue.

Tai Shici's task in this battle has been completed, and the follow-up is the work of his teammates.
