Chapter 62 Whale Swallow
The Chinese navy has a long history. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, its ship manufacturing technology had reached a mature stage.
The hull is huge, majestic and sturdy, and there are tall buildings on the deck, which can fight against wind and waves at sea.
The well-equipped building ship is a masterpiece of this period.
By this time the navy had developed into a powerful independent branch of the army, specializing in maritime combat.
Emperor Wu of Han used the navy in the wars of pacifying Nanyue and Wei's Korean, and his tower ship army had as many as 100,000.
By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the navy had new developments.
Emperor Yang of Sui used the navy many times when he fought against Goguryeo.
Emperor Taizong of Tang also built a large navy in order to expedition to Goguryeo in the east.
According to the "Old Book of Tang Dynasty Biography of Goryeo", in the 19th year of Zhenguan, Zhang Liang led "40,000 powerful soldiers and 500 warships, and went to Pyongyang from Laizhou to attack Goguryeo from the sea channel.
Volume 95 of "Tang Huiyao" "Goguryeo" records that Zhang Liang's naval army was 70,000. Based on this, it is inferred that the 40,000 powerful soldiers mentioned in the old Tang Dynasty were warriors, not including auxiliary sailors who drove ships.
The navy in the early Tang Dynasty was huge in scale and its equipment was very advanced.
In order to adapt to combat needs, naval ships are divided into several types according to their purpose.
According to Du You's "Tongdian Soldier Thirteen Levels and Water War Equipment Appendix", there were six types of military ships at that time.
The first one was the building ship. The building ship built by Yang Su in the early Sui Dynasty "upped five floors, more than a hundred feet high, six poles on the left and right front and back, and fifty feet high, containing eight hundred soldiers."
Du You said in the Tang Dynasty: "The three-fold building is built on the ship, with women's walls, battle grids, banners, crossbows, windows, spear holes, and throwing cars to build stone and iron juice, which looks like a city building."
The second is a turtle, which covers the ship with raw cowhide and covers the back, opens the lever holes on both sides, and has crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right front and back. The enemy cannot approach it, and the arrows and stones cannot attack it.
This ship is small and flexible in shape and fast in speed, and is mainly used for raids, reconnaissance and contact.
The third type is a fighting ship, with a female wall on it, which can be three feet high, with a lever hole under the wall, and a shed of five feet inside the ship, which is as good as a female wall. A female wall on the shed is built, which is re-arranged in the battle enemy, with no overturn on it, and the front and back, left and right tree-tooth flags, banners, and golden drums belong to warships.
The fourth type is to walk on the boat, stand on the side of the female wall, cover the boat with many boatmen, and have few soldiers in battle. They all choose those with elite courage, like flying gulls, riding over and over, riding over the people, with golden drums and flags on top, and warships.
Mainly used for raids and shocks.
The fifth type is a yacht, without a female wall, with a paddle bed on the side, and the left and right according to the size and length, four feet a bed. The plan will be to advance, return to the army, and turn around, and it will be as fast as the wind.
It is mainly used for command, dispatch and reconnaissance, and has strong mobility and belongs to a small boat.
The last type is called the sea falcon, with a low head and a high tail, a large front and a small back, like a falcon.
Floating plates are placed on the left and right sides of the side, shaped like falcon wings to help the ship.
Even though the wind and waves are huge, they can still be guaranteed not to overturn.
The back is covered with raw cowhide, tooth flag, and golden drums are like applause.
This warship of the river and sea.
In addition to the commonly used swords, guns, bows and crossbows, naval war weapons also include winch crossbows, rods and cannon trucks, as well as supporting arrows, stones, etc.
These are just the basic configurations of the Tang Dynasty Navy.
The rest are black turbulent oil, combustion bottles, and some special weapons introduced by Su Dawei, all kinds of them are all there.
On the other hand, the Japanese navy, in front of the Tang army, could be said without hesitation that they were just a younger brother.
Except for the large number, nothing else is really useless.
He also maintained the original pirate tactics and relied on the shore battle to seize control of the warships.
But the Tang army was completely a dimensional reduction attack.
Through strategy and tactics, the functions of the Tang Army's six ship types were fully demonstrated.
Often, ten Japanese troops sank, and only one Tang army injured.
By the time the Tang army's tower ship was dispatched, the Japanese army had completely lost their intention to fight.
Only win and lose one way.
At this moment, the Assassin Group led by Brother Zhongda touched Su Dawei's tower ship from behind.
This assassin group was so luxurious that later, Japan also recorded it specifically in history.
The leader of this assassin group is the eldest brother of the Japanese junior high school.
A real-powered prince who is expected to inherit the throne of the Japanese.
Beside him is the Ghost Room Fuxin, which is known as one of the double walls in the Baekje Restoration Army.
The Ghost Room Fushin is both the Baekje royal family and the Japanese royal bloodline.
He himself is also an alien who is not inferior to Daochen's level.
After the Ghost Room Fuxin, there were three strange people in the assassination group of Brother Zhong, six strange people, and seven half demons.
This strength is in hand, and Brother Zhong believes that even if Su Wo family is resurrected, it will be enough to eliminate it.
Except these seventeen people.
The remaining more than 400 people were all warriors from Japan and were private soldiers of Zhongda's brother.
They are all powerful soldiers with rich combat experience.
Everyone has seen blood in their hands, and has at least more than ten lives.
These hundreds of people can be used as thousands of people in the hands of Brother Zhongda.
In addition, there are a group of strange people such as the Ghost Room Fuxin.
Brother Zhong has absolute confidence to complete this consultation.
As long as you get the head of the general governor of the Tang army, the Japanese can be declared unilaterally in this battle.
Watching the Japanese aliens rushed to Su Dawei.
Two half demons are already clearing the scene.
The Tang soldiers on the deck of the deck of the building were already seriously injured and were controlled.
Now only the governor Xiong Jin of the Tang army, as well as several generals around him, remain.
These people should be important figures with great background in the Tang army.
Kill a few or catch a few, and it will be a great achievement.
Maybe, users can go to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to exchange for a generous ransom.
Brother Zhong’s eyes were slightly red.
The palms of my palms couldn't feel tight.
Sweat oozing out of palms.
Then, he saw a head soaring into the sky.
A straight blood fountain rushed straight into the sky.
So strange.
This blood, like having life, did not splash.
Instead, he rolled out of the ship and directly rolled into the waves and disappeared.
The person died, but the boat seemed to be clean.
Brother Zhong was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Finally, I was shocked to find that the Tang Dynasty governor was still standing there.
Instead, he was attacking him strangely and his head disappeared.
A headless corpse lay on the deck, twitching constantly.
The broken neck was pale and there was no trace of blood.
It seemed as if the blood in the strange body was sucked away by an inexplicable force.
Brother Zhong hasn't reacted yet.
His hand holding the knife was trembling instinctively.
Everything in front of you becomes extremely unreal like a movie slow motion.
Finally, Brother Zhong saw more than a dozen strange people, together with the Ghost Room Fuxin, rushed towards the young Tang Army General.
Because of the strangeness and the power of vitality, the entire space seemed to be inexplicably distorted.
All the light and shadow are in a mess.
It seems like there is an invisible black hole there.
Everything got very slow.
Behind more than a dozen aliens, they were Japanese soldiers.
By the way, that black hole is nothing else, it was radiated from the general of the Tang army.
Facing the approaching Japanese and strange people, the young general moved his mouth slightly and said two words.
Brother Zhong can understand Tang language.
