Chapter 294: Seizing the Bridge (1)
The Wei Navy suffered heavy damage twice, especially in the battle against the Shu Han Navy. It was defeated by four enemies and one, but the entire army was wiped out, which seriously damaged the Wei Navy's confidence. Although they still have four tower ships now
, but he did not dare to attack at all. In fact, from the moment Ma Jun set up two underwater refusals on both sides of the pontoon bridge, these four tower ships were limited to within twenty steps on both sides of the pontoon bridge.
Ma Jun installed a thunderbolt chariot and a crossbow truck on the tower. The thunderbolt chariot's range was two or three hundred steps, and the thunderbolt chariot's range was more than one hundred steps, covering the distance of twenty or thirty steps before the first obstacle.
The enemy will become the target of attack when being blocked before obstacles. If you try to clear these obstacles, you will of course be taken care of. Thunderbolt chariots are used to attack large warships, and crossbow chariots are used to attack small boats and soldiers on the ship.
If you want to maintain balance on a shaking ship and clear those obstacles, you will definitely have poor protection for yourself. It is the time when the dense crossbows show their power.
If we include the thunderbolt chariots and crossbow chariots arranged on the two sides of the strait and on the city wall, any enemy that launches an attack will be blocked from three sides, and the difficulty can be imagined.
The two tower ships rushing in the front were first attacked. As soon as they entered the attack distance of the Pili chariot, the Wei army's Pili chariot began to show their power. The cannons raised the wooden hammers high and hit the Pili chariot hook with force.
The heavy counterweight box suddenly sank down, and the long wooden tips drew an arc, threw it into the sky, throwing the stone the size of a human head out.
The stone bombs flew in the air, making a harsh roar, flying towards the two slowly coming ships.
"Boom!" A stone bomb fell into the water, stirring up a water column two or three feet high, splashing everywhere, and the sound was amazing.
"Bang!" A stone bullet hit the top of the armored ship, making a loud noise. The armor shook violently, and the top of the ship seemed to have faded in an instant.
Fu Xing raised his head, stared at the place where the armor was hit, and involuntarily held his breath. The other soldiers were also holding their breath. The stone just now seemed to hit their hearts, making a trembling trembling
The loud noise made people frightened. Although Wei Ba said in advance that although these armors cannot be said to be indestructible, the possibility of the Wei army's stone bullets breaking into the armor is very small. Now is the time to verify whether Wei Ba's words are correct.
Once they find that the prediction is wrong, they will turn around and leave the position.
The armor creaked and cracked a crack, but it did not break through. As the power of the stone was exhausted, the armor bounced back and returned to its original state. Even the crack looked much more subtle.
"Okay!" Fu Xing clenched his fists, shouted, and laughed loudly at the soldiers, "Everyone, how about it?"
"It's so good."
"It's right to join the army, you can't get through it."
"Now, there's nothing to worry about, go up and ** my mother!"
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and shouted happily.
"Go forward, push to the obstacle and prepare to clear the obstacle." Fu Xing issued a series of orders, and the wheelman slowly turned the wheels and controlled the tower ship to push forward slowly and resolutely. They dared not walk too fast.
I was afraid that I would hit the wooden stakes under the water all at once. The boat's belly did not have strong armor, and once it hit, it would probably penetrate it.
In fact, wheeled warships are not required to clear obstacles. The reason why they were sent to the battlefield first was that they were worried that if the armor was not strong enough, they could quickly evacuate the battlefield to avoid casualties after the armor was penetrated.
On the other side, Zhang Wei also directed the tower ship to approach slowly. They braved the Wei army's increasingly fierce counterattack and approached the obstacles carefully.
The soldier in charge of the detection stared at the long wooden pole. As soon as the wooden pole shook violently, he screamed: "Discover the obstacle!"
Zhang Wei passed the lookout hole and looked at the muddy river water. He tried his best to see the wooden stakes hidden under the river. He ordered loudly: "Turn, lift the pole, prepare to clear the obstacles!"
"Here!" The stewards worked together to control the ship to overturn the head and aimed one side of the warship at the obstacle. At the same time, several soldiers with upper bodies pushed the hatch cover a crack and formed a trunk.
The bracket made of thick tree poles was raised, and one of them was directly mounted on the bracket from a giant tree pole.
"Get down, hook down!" Shi Chang shouted loudly, directing his soldiers to throw a huge anchor hook into the water. With a loud "blocking", the anchor hook suddenly sank, turning the arm thick
The chains were pulled straight.
"Move, move!" Shi Chang shouted, and picked up a wooden pole, pushed the chain, pulling the anchor and shaking it under the water. Not long after, the chain swayed, and it seemed that something was hanging on it.
Shi was overjoyed, threw down the wooden pole, and shouted, "Get up, get up!"
Several soldiers moved the wheels to stretch the chains. As they pulled tighter and tighter, the lever made of log was raised high, like the tail tip of a giant thunderbolt car.
When the chain was tightened to the tightest, the soldiers on the medium-sized warship that had been hidden behind the building began to rotate the two giant wooden wheels on the ship. The giant wheel drove the rope tied to the tail of the wooden tip and began to turn the wooden tips toward the top of the wooden tips.
Pull down. The huge force pressed the boat gently and tilted slightly.
"Damn it, it's buried very deeply." Zhang Wei cursed and shouted sternly: "Tight hard!"
"Ho hey! Ho hey!" The soldiers on the warship shouted neatly and turned the wooden wheel together. The wooden wheel made a moan of Titicaca, and the tighter it became. The huge force pulled the entire warship upwards.
It floated a few inches. As the rope became tighter and tighter, the wooden pole made of a whole tree gradually bent, like a huge bow that was pulled.
Zhang Wei looked at the wooden pole nervously, afraid of hearing the sound of the wooden pole breaking.
Seeing the Shu Han army crossing the hull sideways to clear the obstacles, the Wei army was overjoyed. Hundreds of thunderbolt vehicles were fired together, and stone bullets flew across the river like meteors, hitting the two tower ships. After the direction was adjusted,
Their accurate heads were getting higher and higher, and almost one-third of the stone bombs could hit the warship. The warship's armor was smashed to a loud bang, and a sound of rupture became louder and louder, and the sound of rupture became louder and louder.
The more harsh it came, the gap became bigger and bigger, and gradually, you could see the golden sunshine outside.
Zhang Wei's heart was raised to his throat. He stared at the straight chain, clenched his fists, and tried hard.
"Move quickly, move quickly."
"Move quickly, move quickly." More and more soldiers began to work hard.
It seemed that I felt the soldiers' feelings, and the tense iron chain finally let out a trembling tremor. Suddenly, the entire warship shook suddenly, and then a turbid river water surged from the bottom of the river.
After coming out, a huge wooden stake surfaced.
"Okay!" Zhang Wei clenched his fists excitedly and shouted loudly.
"Okay!" The soldiers were also excited and laughed in unison.
"Boom!" A stone bullet roared and smashed into the water three steps away from the side of the ship, stirring up the water column soaring into the sky, and the dirty water splashed Zhang Wei's face. The guards were shocked and hurriedly called Zhang.
After Willa arrived at the armor, Zhang Wei laughed happily, and a smear of water on his face, shouting: "Continue, continue!"
The soldiers continued to work hard and cleaned two wooden stakes one after another. Seeing that the cracks on the armor could almost stretch out one hand, and if they dragged them down, stone bullets might break into the armor at any time, so they reluctantly left.
Dragging two wooden stakes, he drove away from the range of the Wei army's thunder chariot.
Not long after, Fu Xing also dragged three wooden stakes back to a safe distance. They came to the coach's ship, pushed away the seriously damaged armor, and reported their achievements to Wu Yi and Wei Ba in high spirits. The sound was louder than that of almost every soldier.
All can be heard.
Wu Yi looked at the unreasonably large wooden stakes towed behind the warship, and smiled into a flower with his old face. He stroked his beard and said, "If it weren't for the way Ziyu came up with, it would be just for him."
Human resources are really not enough. Ziyu, this time you are the first to do it."
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "General, I'm just thinking of an idea. To talk about the first meritorious service, the soldiers who take risks and the craftsmen who work hard day and night are the real heroes."
"Hahaha, don't worry, I will not forget them. Everyone has made contributions, but the first contribution is yours." Wu Yi waved his hand and asked Feng Jin to arrange two other tower ships to attack, Fu Xing and Zhang Wei.
Then they took the warships to the back for emergency repairs. In order to pull out these obstacles from the river, they could only carry the attack of the Wei army's thunder chariot head-on. No matter how strong the armor was, it could not resist such a blow, and it was already very damaged. Fortunately, it was not so badly.
Wei Ba had made arrangements to make people prepare tools and materials for emergency repair and repair them in time.
Four building ships took turns to attack, each of which was salvaged for half an hour. No matter what the harvest was, they had to return for maintenance. Wei Ba would rather be slower than be too aggressive than to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Ma Jun stood on the floating bridge, looking at the water splashing in the distance, his brows became tighter and tighter. When he saw the long lever on the Shuhan Naval Tower ship, he knew Wei Ba’s countermeasures.
Although this countermeasure is a bit stupid, it is very effective. It is the best way to be figured out in conjunction with the protection ability of the Shu Han Navy warship. In just half a day, a gap was broken on the first line of defense.
In less than two days, Wei Ba could clear all the two obstacles he set up and then go straight to the floating bridge.
He hasn't seen any special features of Wei Ba's warship yet. It's too far away. He can only see the outline of the warship, but can't see more details. However, he found a problem, that
The warships of the Shu Han Navy were very fast, and the huge tower ships were not inferior to small and medium-sized warships. It was really incredible.
Ma Jun realized that this might be Wei Ba’s real secret and the secret he wanted to know the most.
"I want to... go ahead and see..." Ma Jun quickly walked up to a small warship: "Take me... over."
"No, it's too dangerous." The soldiers on the warship changed color in horror and shook their heads. What a joke, stone bombs are flying all over the sky, our warship has no armor. If it is hit, it will be done.
Ma Jun was anxious. The more anxious he was, the more he spoke, the more he was. After all, the soldiers refused to obey the orders. Ma Jun had no choice but to rush ashore and ran forward desperately. There were only those who were moving quickly in his eyes. The tower ship didn't notice that he was on a dangerous battlefield.
Jin Dongliu was shocked and shouted: "Stop him, stop him!"
Several personal guards rushed forward and threw Ma Jun to the ground without saying a word.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Ma Jun struggled hard, roaring angrily, like an angry lion.
