The ninth and forty-fifth chapter turned out to be soft persimmons
More than thirty nautical miles outside Hangzhou Bay, ten giant shark warships of the Chu army hung dozens of Japanese sea ships with z-shaped characters on the sea./Extreme literature/
"Mr. Commander, something is wrong - ah, the Japanese have several sea boats that are closer to us at extremely fast speed! At present, we are less than two nautical miles away. If this continues, we will be caught up in less than two quarters of an hour!"
Dongfang Wen, a junior of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Fu's cousin, is still the senior of Leng Zhuo in Shengtian Academy. However, although Dongfang Wen had heard some legends about Leng Zhuo, the two had never contacted each other. Later, Dongfang Wen went to Yunzhou Navy for training. In a blink of an eye, it was already the year of the year.
Dongfang Wen raised his monocular lens and looked at the Japanese ship behind the warship. Although it was two nautical miles away, the telescope could clearly see the Japanese ships in the distance. These Japanese ships were obviously not ordinary sea ships.
In the limited world of the telescope, an enlarged Japanese warship came into Dongfang Wen's eyes. This is a sea centipede ship. The reason why it is called a centipede is that dozens of thick paddles poked out on both sides of the ship's side.
The shape of this sea centipede ship is very sharp and thin, just like a knife shattering all the way. The huge paddles are neatly and uniformly thrust the sea surface, generating huge propulsion, allowing the sea boat to accelerate. However, it is obvious that shaking such huge paddles is not something that a few people can do, and they cannot last long with manpower.
However, the sea centipede ship maintained a stamina speed and quickly narrowed the double reversal distance. Obviously, there is a unique secret in the sea centipede ship.
Dongfang Wen is immune to the Japanese's special naval warships. The Japanese's progress on the ship for the past hundred years has left the empire far behind, but the empire is working behind closed doors, and its investment in the navy is less than a year. In addition, the generals are greedy for the upward and downward, and their combat effectiveness is valuable, not to mention designing and building new ships.
“How far is it to the reservation ambush place!”
"There are about ten miles to return to the commander!"
Dongfang Wen looked at the sea centipede ship that was approaching quickly. If it was approached, once it was entangled, the Japanese sea ships that followed would go up to fight the shore battle. Obviously, he was at a disadvantage.
"Send all ships to throw all the turbulent oil on the ship into the sea in a quarter of an hour, so that the catapults at the stern are ready to attack! Aim at the sea warships that are catching up and bombard me!"
The hit rate of the catapult is questionable if the ship does not move, not to mention that it is in rapid movement, but Dongfang Wen does not expect these catapults to play a big role. As long as they can interfere with the chasing of the ship in the rear and make them afraid of it. Very literary
Wow, wow, wow, the huge throwing stone quickly crossed the sky, then plunged into the arms of the sea and knocked up a water column that was more than ten feet high. However, the landing point was two or three hundred meters away from the sea centipede ship that was catching up with it behind.
The sea centipede ship quickly approached and soon the distance between the two was less than one nautical mile. After all, the giant shark warship relied on the sails to walk the z-line, while the sea centipede ship directly used paddles without worrying about the influence of the wind, and rushed forward in a straight line.
Thump, swell, sturdy oil barrels with open openings were pushed off the warship. As the main means of attack at sea, each ship had a sturdy oil reserve at that time. When in the South Bay, only a small part was used, and most of the remaining were pushed into the sea.
A distance of one nautical mile, using a telescope to even see the faces of the people on the opposite boat. After a few minutes, the distance between the two sides was closer again, and thousands of barrels of turmeric oil were also thrown into the sea.
"Fire Crossbow, let it go!" The large crossbow at the stern of the ship had already aimed at the sea surface behind him. The crossbow arrows burning with flames flew out and cut through the air and landed directly on the sea surface.
Boom, the flames rushed up quickly at a speed visible to young eyes, and a sea of fire suddenly ignited on the sea surface. The sea centipede ship that followed closely behind us drilled into the sea of fire. The scorching air waves rolled with the sea breeze and slapped on the hull. Several sea centipede warships that were advancing together suddenly became disordered.
The neatly rowed out of control and the speed of the boat suddenly dropped, but this was not the main thing. This kind of paddling boat also influenced the stability and direction of the boat, so when the paddling lost its rhythm, the bow began to deflect.
With a sound of puff, two sea centipede ships that were not a few dozen meters away collided head-on. The paddles that poked out of the ship were immediately broken and caused considerable damage to the side of the ship.
The sea centipede ship was in chaos for a while, which made the ten giant shark warships distance themselves from it again. When the sea centipede ships were waiting for the order to recover, they caught up with them with anger, the ten giant shark warships were less than a few miles away from the ambush.
"Turn the hull and prepare for the battle on the sidelines!" Dongfang Wen stood on the bow deck, looking at the dozens of Japanese sea ships behind him, and issued a loud order. Although the giant shark warship was already the fastest sea ship in the empire, it was a little different from the Japanese sea ships. After all, these Japanese sea ships have been improved on the basis of the imperial sea ships.
Wow, several arrows penetrated the sky and entered the sky. Then the sound of the puff exploded. The sound was like thunder and spread far away. The huge fireworks could be seen from a distance even during the day.
Yu Dayou, who had been ambushing in the nearby waters, saw the signal and ordered the attack without saying a word. They were only seven or eight nautical miles away from the ambush site. Moreover, they were on the wind direction. If the sails were on the way, they could speed up a lot. But even so, it would take at least an hour to reach the ambush site.
The battle of the boarding battle still occupies a considerable weight in the battle of the sea, and it is even the key to determining victory or defeat!
When the giant shark warship rushed to the front, there was an intimate contact with the Japanese warship huts, the two ships swayed suddenly, but the naval soldiers who were ready to go were ready to jump into the gang.
While shaking, the soldiers on the two boats jumped onto each other's warships, and countless ropes were thrown out, tying the two boats together, and the decks on the two boats became the venue for the decisive battle between the two sides.
Dongfang Wen was carrying a tooth blade in one hand. This weapon was a bit similar to a water spike, but in addition to being sharp, it also had a blade. The blade was only two feet long, like a short sword, but slightly curved. This tooth blade was polished with the serrated teeth of a high-level sea beast. At the end of the tooth blade, there were two water sapphires the size of a baby fist. Through the patterns on the tooth blade, there was a thin layer of water mist attached to the tooth blade.
At this time, there was no command at all. It was the simplest and barbaric hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, Dongfang Wen knew that before his warships arrived, they had to face the Japanese who were several times, or even dozens of times, alone.
And he wanted to weaken the Japanese as much as possible before the other Japanese warships surrounded him and gain more time for himself.
Dongfang Wen has been on the sea for ten years and is no longer the rookie who was the first to board the boat. He stepped on the shaking deck of the ship like walking on the flat ground. When he jumped, Dongfang Wen had already jumped on the deck of the Japanese sea ship next to him.
"Water Dance!" Dongfang Wen both sides waved their teeth blades. As he waved, a three-foot-long water blade was dragged out. The teeth blade, which could only attack the target at close range, suddenly became a soldier, and the three-foot-long Japanese sword that rushed up was not enough to see.
Before the slash was taken down, the water blade had cut through the necks of several Japanese people. Before the head fell, the eyes of several Japanese people were filled with resentment. They were obviously short-lived, but why did they suddenly become longer?
Dongfang Wen ignored the idea of the dead and rushed towards the next target. Dongfang Wen slashed with one left and one right, slashed seven or eight Japanese people, and then went to find the enemy, but found that there were no enemies. On the deck were soldiers from his side standing in groups of three or three.
Dongfang Wen was a little confused and glanced at the corpses of the Japanese on the ground. It seemed that there were not more than fifty Japanese people who jumped on their warships. It seemed that there were only about seventy people in total, which was a little wrong.
However, Dongfang Wen didn't have much time to think about this issue, because another boat leaned up from the side, and dozens of Japanese soldiers shouted and jumped onto the deck.
The question that Dongfang Wen was puzzled was not difficult to explain, because most of the Japanese warriors anchored in the Nanwan went to attack the county town, while most of the remaining people were sailors carrying boats, and only a small number of warriors. Dongfang Wen led ten sea boats to attack Nanwan, and the furious Japanese rushed out of the water bay and chased after them.
Many warships actually only have necessary sailors and 20 or 30 warships. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of these seaships is the lowest point in history. These Japanese people did not expect this, but they were too arrogant. They had dozens of warships that were chased out, and the enemy only had ten, so they did not consider themselves defeated.
This also made Dongfang Wen, who was planning to be broken, and his soldiers not only had no pressure, but instead relied on their local number of advantages to swallow up several Japanese players and seized several sea ships of the other party.
When hundreds of warships led by Yu Dayou came up from the rear, Dongfang Wenzheng led his troops to grab another ship. On this water surface, dozens of warships were entangled around ten giant shark warships, and Dongfang Wen completely left his giant shark warship and led his troops to jump ship to fight.
When Yu Dayou's warship came, Dongfang Wen led his troops to fight against the Japanese. Because he gathered all the soldiers and sailors on the ten ships, the Japanese on the single ship were almost killed when they met, and other Japanese ships gathered together to pursue them.
This also led to the fact that most of the Japanese ships were not operated. When the fleet led by Yu Dayou rushed up, almost no Japanese ship ran away and went straight to the end. Yu Dayou's hundreds of sea ships were loaded with warriors, with thousands of numbers. When they leaned forward, the Japanese who gathered all the sailors and warriors had only a few hundred numbers, and the number was more than ten times different.
The expected war was over in just one round. Even Yu Dayou wanted to let go of several boats, but the plan he designed had to change. Yu Dayou simply sent someone to send a message to two other troops and kill Nanwan.
