Chapter 187 Overlord of the Sea
() Yunfeng looked confident, but Han Yong was dumbfounded. He looked at the fireball flying like a meteor with an extremely ugly expression. Not only him, but the surrounding generals also looked ugly.
Unbelievable, the roar of laughter that filled the ship just now was like a loud slap in the face, slapping each of them hard!
Han Fu murmured as if he had seen a ghost: "How could the Qin army's trebuchet come over? How did he install the trebuchet on the ship? It is normal for a building ship to install a trebuchet, but his ship is also a fighting ship
Ah, the deck is only as big as a palm, could it be those weird-looking guys leaning on the bow? How is this possible?"...
After being reminded, everyone stared straight at the ballista installed on the bow of the Qin army. After taking a closer look, they found fireballs flying out of it. They couldn't believe what they saw and rubbed their eyes over and over again.
, however, the facts are facts and will not change at all because of their subjective wishes.
In their understanding, the bigger the trebuchet, the more powerful it is. At the bow of the opponent's ship, there are four trebuchets installed on big ships and three trebuchets installed on small boats. This shows that the Qin army's trebuchets are both small and light. Is this possible?
Their three views have been completely subverted!
"Could it be that Jiang Mingxiang is helping the Qin army?" A general suddenly turned pale, with a ray of fear in his eyes.
Another general took it over with an annoyed look on his face and said: "It must be so, but we also invited the Qinglong King of the East China Sea, why hasn't the magic appeared yet? Could it be that the Qinglong King thinks that the ten pairs of boys and girls are too few? I should have known better.
Bring dozens more pairs!" . .
The generals made a guess, and they attributed the power of the crossbow to the magical power exerted by Jiang Mingxiang. It was very different from the arrogance when they mocked Yunfeng for not knowing water warfare. Everyone showed up again and again.
Feeling anxious and afraid.
"That's enough!" Han Yong felt irritated in his heart. He waved his hand to stop the noise, and then snorted coldly: "No wonder the King of Qin is so confident that he dares to attack our water stronghold with only 300 boats. It turns out that he has a weapon at his side.
! Regardless of how he threw the fire bombs, there is no need to delve into whether there is a real helper, but you see, his attack points are all concentrated on
At the bow of the ship, there are no shooting poles visible on the ship. What does this mean? It means that he can only attack from a distance, not close combat! It is just for the sake of a temporary show. Our army only needs to spread out the fleet, approach from the side, and use it to its best advantage.
Taking advantage of the advantage of close combat and surrounding him with superior numbers, why worry about being unable to defeat the Qin army? Hurry, according to my wishes, send orders to all the ships as soon as possible!"
Having said this, the gloom in the hearts of the generals gradually dissipated, and their eyes reappeared. Their confidence gradually recovered little by little. Think about it, the sea is so big, the wind and waves are bumpy, and the bows of the Qin army are sparsely hit.
How many percent of the incoming fire bombs could hit? Even if a few warships were burned, the overall situation would not be harmed. The generals showed awe-inspiring expressions one after another, and some even turned red with shame.
After receiving the signal, the entire army immediately adjusted their course. The originally relatively compact formation spread out wider. Each of them looked at the target and sailed towards the side of the Qin army's ship.
"Hahahaha~~" Jiang Yan saw this scene and couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing: "Han Yong is very cooperative. He knows that our army is good at attacking from the side. He is really giving him a hot pillow while sleeping, haha
Haha~~”
Although Xie Shang's face was suppressed to be red, he did not dare to laugh unbridledly in front of the elders. Although he wanted to do so, he was wondering in his heart, what happened to Han Yong? He actually came to his door by himself.
Looking for trouble, this is good, it saves the effort of correcting the orientation.
If a god really looked down from the sky, he would see on the sea surface at this time, two groups of black dots, one large and one small, approaching rapidly, intersecting and intertwining with each other in an instant.
"General Xie, there is an enemy ship approaching on the port side!" A personal attendant raised his finger and reminded Xie Shang loudly.
Xie Shang took a look and saw that about five hundred steps ahead on the left, a fighting ship was sprinting towards his handsome ship. Dozens of sailors on the ship were manipulating the shooting pole with all their strength. Because the sea surface was much more bumpy than the river surface, it was stable.
It was even more difficult to balance on the boulder. They were blowing whistles neatly, and everyone tried their best. In the cabin of the ship, armored soldiers were also filing out.
Xie Shang smiled coldly, turned around and called out: "Send the order, fine-tune the course, move forward at full speed, and fire the crossbow at three hundred steps!"
The helmsman turned to the left and the sailor and oarsman cooperated one after another. "Crash!" A huge wave of white waves surged out from the right side of the ship, forcing the bow to turn to the left and sail straight towards the enemy ship at high speed.
As they approached, the enemy ship also adjusted its direction at all times, but Xie Shang's handsome ship immediately adjusted accordingly as soon as it noticed that the opponent's bow was slightly offset, so it always remained roughly parallel.
"Port side, prepare!"
"Bang bang bang~~" After a burst of sound, the crossbow windows on the port side were all opened, and a gloomy black shadow was revealed from every hole.
"put!"
"Stretch, stretch, stretch~~" As the bowstring vibrated, twenty black shadows were like twenty water dragons sweeping across the water. After a flash of black light, the target enemy ship was covered with sawdust, and six basin-sized holes suddenly appeared on the side of the ship.
The words are arranged neatly!
Three hundred steps away, six out of twenty shots!
The crossbow fires a plow dart, but the plow dart used for throwing is a soft rod. The momentary tremor when thrown helps maintain the flying posture, while the plow dart used by the crossbow replaces the soft rod with a hard wood
The rod can keep the trajectory as straight as possible under the huge initial velocity.
A plow dart thrown by human power can only hit a black hole as big as a bowl in the side of a ship at about twenty paces, but how can the power of a ballista be compared to that of a human? A plow dart fired by a human can attack the enemy at a distance of three hundred paces.
The boat caused damage the size of a washbasin!
"Okay!" Seeing this amazing result, Xie Shang couldn't help but hit hard with both palms. He saw the water rushing into the cave entrance one after another under the beating of the waves. The target enemy ship seemed to have sailed into the swamp.
It was as if the ground was moving, and the speed slowed down obviously.
"Strong, tight, tight~~" The second wave of plowshare darts poured out. Due to the first correction, nine large holes appeared out of thin air on the side of the target enemy ship!
In the second round, nine out of twenty shots!
Fifteen black holes exerted force at the same time, and the sea water no longer poured into the ship's cabin, but was sucked in. Under the impact of the waves, the cracks around the black holes spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ship's hull also moved to the left accordingly.
It capsized, showing a tendency to lose control and roll sideways. The ship was running around shouting, and huge rocks, people, and various objects fell into the sea one after another.
"Turn the bow around, add more force, and sink it!" Xie Shang's blood suddenly surged, and he shouted to the left and right.
"General Xie, no!" Jiang Yan hurriedly stopped: "Whether it's a naval battle or a land battle, the first priority is cooperation. You must not mess up the position just for the sake of quick success. This ship will be sunk by the escort ship behind it. General Xie, please sink it."
The right way is to focus on the surroundings and take charge of the overall situation.”
Xie Shang couldn't help but blush, and said loudly: "What Old General Jiang taught you is that Shang forgot his lesson for a moment."
