On the herald booth at the top of the ship, two flag soldiers held red and blue flags, waving the same flag to both sides.

Soon, Wang Baobao's order to attack reached all the net shuttle ships.

"Attack!"

Two simple words came out of the mouth of the first soldier at the head of the shuttle boat almost at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, on the side of eighty large warships, eighty small net shuttle boats, began to move forward quickly under the oars of the soldiers.

A moment later, they appeared in front of eighty large warships, and on the wide shallows, they lined up and moved quickly.

The design of the shuttle boat is exactly the same as that of the 'shuttle' on the loom, with both ends being aerodynamically sharpened.

This design is mainly to reduce the influence of wind and waves on the direction, and at the same time to increase the speed as much as possible.

As for its power source, it is exactly the same as the dragon boat in the river during the Dragon Boat Festival.

They don't have the mighty and domineering appearance of a dragon boat, but at this moment, they have the aura of a Chinese war dragon!

"Swift stroke,"

"Everyone's working hard!"

“.”

The net shuttle boats that were running side by side just now have been presented as a living picture of 'hundreds of boats competing for the current'.

Each shuttle boat has a crew of ten, and when they charge the beach, they are oarsmen, but when they reach the shore, they are warriors who seize control of the beach.

The beach landing battle is the same as the land siege battle, only the first batch of soldiers to climb the city wall can make the soldiers behind like bamboos.

Therefore, the first warrior to climb the city wall can be awarded the merit of 'ascending first'!

In the same way, this first batch of naval officers who rushed to land and engaged the enemy army could also be awarded the merit of 'first arrival'!

But the challenges they face are also enormous.

Sacrificing all protection for speed, they must face the challenge of enemy long-range weapons.

And the only way they can avoid being shot by the enemy while on the march is to reach land as soon as possible!

Therefore, since the establishment of these naval officers, they have been holding dragon boat races in Ningxiang Bay for a long time.

The dragon boat used for the festival is shaped like a dragon, but the non-aerodynamic design increases the resistance of the air, and the force is also reciprocal, so that the faster the row, the greater the resistance!

Originally!

The dragon boat used for festivals is not for combat, in addition to being festive and ornamental, it is for exercising, after all, it is also a traditional sport.

The common people race dragon boats for festivals, and these naval officers race dragon boats for a long time to fight for the country!

And Ye Qing's purpose of letting them race dragon boats for a long time is also very simple!

That is the difficulty of playing with non-aerodynamic dragon boats in peacetime, which is basically equivalent to playing with aerodynamically designed net shuttle boats in wartime environments!

"Yaga!"

"Archer, shoot me!"

"Crossbow bed, shoot me!"

"Trebuchet, smash it for me!"

Kazuki Yamamoto stared at the scarlet bloody eyes, gritting his teeth and issuing this series of battle orders.

At the same time, Wang Baobao, who was standing on the battle pavilion of the handsome ship, overlooking everything with a condescending posture, also immediately issued his military order.

"All the naval guns, aimed at their long-range weapons to hit."

"Destroy their trebuchets first, and the crossbow bed!"

On the bow deck of a handsome ship,

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, the Japanese soldiers on the coast were debugging their trebuchets and bow and crossbow beds.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help frowning when he looked at these two long-range weapons that were commonly found in military history classics and were created in the land of China.

And his eyes as sharp as a falcon are also full of hatred!

It stands to reason that he, as the ninety-five emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the man sitting on the throne, should not blame his ancestors.

But at this moment, he wanted to scold the Tang Dynasty and accept the ancestors of the Japanese students.

"Promoting Chinese culture, isn't it such a promotion method!"

"They learned the shipbuilding technology of the Tang and Song dynasties, as well as the armament technology, and they used it to fight us."

“.”

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but start thinking again.

He was thinking about how he should promote Chinese culture!

In his view, it is necessary to promote Chinese culture, because armed conquest is only a means, and cultural identity is the policy of domination.

He must make all the surrounding barbarians, and even the barbarians in the world, become vassal places that recognize Chinese culture.

But what should be taught and what should not be taught, we must draw a line.

Thinking of this, he leaned to Ye Qing's side and said in an emotional tone: "If Your Majesty sees that the students of the Tang Dynasty actually use the Datang shipbuilding technology and ordnance technology they have learned to kill our children, he will definitely make some trade-offs in promoting my Chinese culture." ”

"Ordnance technology, not teachable!"

"Shipbuilding technology, navigation technology, not teachable!"

"Tea-making, salt-making, agricultural grain, medical technology, can't be taught!"

"We only need to sell a large number of finished tea, finished porcelain and glass products, finished silk brocade, and use business to promote our culture!"

"And our Taixue, the foreign students we accept, can only learn the way of respecting the emperor and the Confucian way!"

“.”

Ye Qing listened to this, and the afterglow that looked at Master Guo also flashed with a look of relief.

At this moment, he looked at Master Guo, who was a fan of Zhu Yuanzhang's brain, and he was also a little pleasing to the eye.

I have to say that he is really enlightened!

Therefore, the ancients really did not deceive me, and the saying 'it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books' is really reasonable.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"In the book, I don't think I think so, only by seeing it in person, can we know what is going on."

As he spoke, Ye Qing looked at the current Xi'an Mansion, the direction of Chang'an City back then, and a flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes.

His only regret is that he didn't live long enough in that life.

If he lived long enough, those Confucians who sang 'technology has no borders' would not dare to accept the Japanese students at all.

Now he just wants to say to those great Confucians, 'If you have a spirit in heaven, if you see this, will you regret your decision?' ’

And now, he just wants to say a word to Master Guo.

Ye Qing looked at this enlightened Master Guo, and said in a respectful tone: "General Guo, if Your Majesty stands here in person and sees them use the techniques they learned from us to smash huge stones on the bodies of these sons, and shoot through the chests of these sons with a giant arrow as high as one person, he may have such thoughts." ”

"It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing, who respected 'Master Guo' so much, and only secretly glanced at him, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "Stinky boy, Lao Tzu is watching here." ”

"Who do you look down on?"

"They haven't used these weapons to hurt me Da Ming Erlang, Lao Tzu has already figured it out!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just patted Ye Qing's shoulder and said, "Lord Ye, don't worry, our old Guo has fought for this life, and we will also advise Your Majesty." ”

"Even if we are a cheap businessman, there are Xu Shuai and Wang Shuai who follow suit."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Dadao and said, "Xu Shuai, did you say it?" ”

Xu Da immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely advise Your Majesty." ”

And Zhu Di on the side, looking at this scene, only said secretly in his heart: "I'm thinking, if my master knew that a few of you were acting in front of him, how would he react?" ”

And Mao Xiang, who was watching the play at the end, looked at this scene, and also said secretly in his heart: "If Lord Ye knew that he had fed a group of dogs with his heart, what would he do to this group of high-ranking dogs?" ”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were each pregnant with ghosts and thinking about it, they heard the first cannon sound and the sound of arrows breaking through the sky.

"Boom!"

"Whew!"

In their eyes, all the guns in the bow of the ship bombarded their trebuchets and their crossbow beds.

At the same time, the naval soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom also fired huge boulders and arrows shaped like javelins.

The boulder thrown by the trebuchet is not a complete boulder, but countless brick-sized stones, bound into balls with fishing nets.

When trebuchets throw them into the sky with great force, the force generated by their parabolic motion causes the nets to tear through the air.

In this way, within a certain amount of airspace, it will be 'stone rain'!

This was the method used by trebuchets dedicated to bombarding city walls before the advent of cannons, and were used to hit targets in the city, or nomadic legions.

But now, the Japanese slaves are using this method to fight these descendants of China!

"Dodge!"

"Sharp turn to the left, sharp turn backwards!"

The soldier at the head of the net shuttle boat looked at the sudden attack of the rocks and the huge arrows that flew in, and tried his best to let everyone cooperate and dodge.

Countless stones grazed their sides and smashed heavily on the water, directly smashing the splash effect of a small bomb exploding.

There are also many unlucky fish and shrimp, which directly turned up their white bellies, and immediately stained the sea with blood.

"Ahh

"My eyes."

Individual stones hit the hull of the shuttle boat, breaking and flying away in an instant, some scratching the soldiers' cheeks, and even a flying stone directly hit a soldier's eye.

However, the soldier was strong, he was bleeding in one eye and tearing in the other, but he still gritted his back molars and endured, while paddling with all his might.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's naval guns, under this round of bombardment, destroyed all their trebuchets and nearly half of their crossbow beds.

Kazuki Yamamoto frowned directly when he looked at the broken trebuchet and the crossbow bed, as well as the wailing soldiers lying on the ground, and the torn corpses.

Because he knew that they had one and only one effective remote chance.

Kazuki Yamamoto said loudly: "All the ballistae, aim at their oarsmen, and give me a hard beat!" ”

Dozens of giant arrows shaped like javelins, with a piercing sound of breaking the air, went straight towards the first oars of each net shuttle boat.

At the same time, dozens of shells, dragging black clouds, bombarded their last remaining crossbow bed.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, the only remaining long-range weapons of the Japanese soldiers were all blown into slag.

The scattered sawdust also injured a lot of Japanese soldiers!

But this result did not make them happy, because more than a dozen of the huge arrows fired at the end of these crossbow beds hit their targets.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, more than a dozen net shuttle ships suddenly slowed down.

The first oarsman, with stubble on the bed of the nearest net, had been pierced in the chest by a giant arrow described as a javelin.

The penetrating power of the giant arrow is too great, not to mention the armor of the Southern Army, even the cavalry armor of the Northern Army, which can be called heavy armor, cannot stop this powerful crossbow giant arrow that can be nailed into the city wall.

In order not to hurt the soldiers behind him, he actually abandoned the oars as soon as possible and held the body of the giant arrow, lest the giant arrow that pierced his chest would also penetrate the body of the soldiers behind him.

Blood kept pouring from the corners of his mouth, as well as from the piercing wound.

"Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu, how are you, Brother Liu?"

The soldiers behind him shouted anxiously.

The soldier with stubble, who was slightly older, and was called Brother Liu, smiled lightly: "What else, I have a sword!" ”

"Brothers, do me a favor and turn me over, I don't want to watch these Japanese soldiers die, I want to watch our hometown die."

The soldiers all burst into tears, and they all knew Brother Liu's true intentions.

Obviously, the other party has no long-range weapons, and if they advance further, they will be greeted by the most ordinary and dense rain of bows and arrows.

He was going to use his own back, as a shield for these brothers of them.

Of course, I really want to make the sky of my hometown the last picture in my eyes.

"Okay,"

"I'll help you, my good brother!"

“.”

Soon, the soldiers pulled out the giant arrows from his body and reversed the direction for him.

He sat with a golden sword like this, and his sitting posture was exactly the same as that of Guan Erye in the temple, which was a standard martial artist sitting posture.

Immediately afterwards, the second soldier also discarded the paddle in his hand and hugged his good brother directly.

The feelings of hugging a good big brother are real!

Let Brother Liu put his head on his shoulder and take a look at the sky in the direction of his hometown as much as possible!

Help stabilize the body, so that Brother Liu's back and his chest can become a solid shield for the eight brothers behind him, which is absolutely true!

"Row!"

"Row quickly!!"

The second soldier who hugged Brother Liu shouted loudly.

"Yes, General!"

The eight soldiers behind him, with tears in their eyes, paddled with all their might.

At this moment, they had only eight oarsmen, but they outpaced the boats of ten oarsmen, and soon caught up with them.

This scene is not only Brother Liu's net shuttle boat, this scene is staged on more than a dozen net shuttle ships at the same time.

Soon, eighty shuttle ships were less than five hundred paces away from the shore.

Kazuki Yamamoto looked at this scene and ordered again: "All archers, shoot me hard!" ”

At the same time, Wang Baobao, who was already scarlet in his eyes, also issued his last handsome order:

"Ships, the bow guns are not enough, so push the side guns over to me and bombard them fiercely."

"But if you are a Japanese soldier, you will bomb casually, until our net shuttle ship lands and engages!"

"Stop the musketeers, archers, and melee soldiers, and land on the beach with the commander!"

As soon as the words fell, he took his nine-ring broadsword and quickly headed for the bilge.

meanwhile

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already full of murderous intent in his eyes, after giving Xu Da, Mao Xiang and Zhu Di a look, also carried his saber and went straight to the bilge.

Soon, on the bow deck, only Ye Qing remained.

Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Qing and said, "Master, why don't you follow us to slaughter two Japanese soldiers with your own hands?" ”.
