Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 615

The hull of the Baotou steel ship turned greatly, which quickly alarmed Zhao He, Wang Erniu, etc. who were resting in the cabin. It was the first time for the children of farmers who went to sea. The waters of the Wa Kingdom in early February were still very cold. If they want to see what the legendary naval battle is like, they don't want to stay in the cockpit on the deck.

"We are now in the upwind position, and order the ships to launch the hot air balloons on board, bring the kerosene bombs, and push the catapults and bed crossbows to the deck. I want that after this battle, any Japanese will not dare Arouse the thought of fighting against me, Datang."

"Order."

The horn with constantly changing scales sounded, and the ordering flag was also given accurate instructions by the sailors who sent the orders. Almost instantly, Zhao Long's orders were conveyed to the ships hundreds of meters apart. The combat quality of the years-old crew has improved.

"Wow, the fight is about to start. Get some telescopes. There seem to be a lot of people on the opposite side. However, it seems that we are now on the offensive side. The other side seems to be afraid of us and is shrinking."

The control cabin on the deck is the place with the best viewing angle. It is equipped with pure transparent glass with a thickness of about [-] mm on all sides. This design can not only block the wind, but also be waterproof. Zhao He and the others who had fun to watch crowded here immediately. As for the binoculars, there are many things in the cockpit.

There are not many opportunities to encounter wars at sea, Zhao Gang, the captain of the ship where the few are, inevitably takes this opportunity to teach them.

"When fighting at sea, communication is very important. Even if you are not needed in battle, you must also learn to listen to the horn and read the command flag. At night, you must also pay attention to the signal lights. Sometimes, when it is issued, it may be It's an escape signal, when you receive the signal, you should strap on your life jackets immediately, jump into the sea and swim away, or you may be taken to the bottom of the sea by the hull of the ship if it is too late."

Hearing this, the little guys who went out to sea for the first time said in shock, "Ha! Is it so dangerous? The sea is so cold, you want to jump?"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Of course, when receiving instructions from the flagship ahead or orders from the captain, don't hesitate at all. Three of the steamships manufactured by our Weinan Shipyard have capsized at sea. Many, although wooden boats do not carry heavy cargo, they are generally unsinkable, and were finally towed and repaired by us, but in these accidents when they hit the rocks or failed to avoid the big waves in time and capsized, hundreds of our brothers died in the sea It’s because they failed to evacuate in time.”

In the face of strong winds and waves, the boat itself may become a dangerous existence. Sometimes the people on board may be knocked unconscious due to the huge shaking. Everything on the ship had to be thrown into the sea, even if it was as valuable as gold ore. Similar experiences were accumulated by Zhao Long and the others after running at sea for so many years.

However, the current new boats are already very advanced in terms of drainage, sealing and other aspects of design. The wind and waves that overturned those wooden water ships in the past may not be able to do anything about it. It may not damage the hull, but the safety factor has been improved a lot.

While they were talking, the hot air balloon on the deck had begun to inflate and lifted off, and the small boat sent by Wa to communicate was within 200 meters of the flagship.

"Catapult, are you sure that the bullet will hit you?" Zhao Long looked at the hot air balloons on each ship, and asked the catapult commander who had already arranged them on the wide deck.

"The distance has been calculated, whether to launch it immediately."

"Launch immediately."

"Order."

"The catapult on the left is loaded with solid stone bullets, adjusted to the left to an angle of 58 degrees, and the elevation angle is 56 degrees, 54 degrees, [-] degrees, [-] degrees, and launches."

"anti······"

There was a sound of firing a hammer hitting the metal frame, and a stone ball the size of a watermelon flew out immediately. The catapult with a fixed weight hammer on the ship, as long as the weight of the stone bullet is standard, will not cause damage in this kind of wind and waves. When the hull is shaking, it can basically hit the stone bullets to a fixed point according to the different angles. Since the attack target is large, even if there is a slight error, it can still hit. When the impact force of a [-]-jin solid stone bomb hits from high altitude, it will basically be pierced and sunk directly.

Sure enough, shortly after the stone bullet was fired, everyone heard the sound of "click". Zhang Gongjin clearly saw a big hole in the middle of the Japanese ship being blasted by the stone bullet through the binoculars, and the hull began to enter the water and sink.

"This······"

Zhang Gongjin can be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield, but this is the first time he has seen a confrontation at sea. This new-style catapult is so accurate. Having witnessed the whole process, he knows that to achieve this kind of precise strike, it seems to be necessary. Pretty good math foundation.

In fact, the catapult commander has a table with detailed data on the angles and landing points of all parabolas. He only needs to visually calculate the approximate distance, angle, and distance to the landing point recorded on the table. , you can immediately find the angle of launch.

For example, the target is now 180 meters, and the elevation angle of the catapult is [-] degrees, just to bombard this position. The two ships are facing each other, and every time they approach three meters, they lower by one degree, and when they approach six meters, they lower by two degrees. The commander only needs to visually measure the distance and refer to the table. Read out the angle of launch, and the launcher adjusts it at the movable elevation angle port. Just launch quickly. Anyway, sea ships are generally more than ten meters long and several meters wide. The target is so big, and there is still a mistake of one or two degrees. hit the target.

It’s just that this way of fighting, in the eyes of Zhang Gongjin, who has never seen the application of this new type of equipment, is rather miraculous. Few of his leading soldiers can read characters, understand angles, and understand the table of parabolic drop points.

With the hit of this bomb, and the hot air balloon rising higher and higher began to float over the Japanese army along the wind, a huge commotion had already occurred on the Japanese navy side. As for them, however, they don't have the slightest confidence to win.

Because they can tell at a glance that the warships that suddenly appeared in the port of Kyushu Island belong to the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and past combat experience tells them that even a Tang army team with only 800 men and ten water-wheeled warships can't It's not something their [-]-strong team can defeat.

As early as several years ago, the joint naval force formed by them and Goryeo, Silla, Baekje and other countries was hanged and beaten by eight hundred Tang troops.

"Your Majesty, Tang Jun never gave us a chance to negotiate."

"What are they doing? What are those things flying in the sky? Does anyone know?..."

On Stable House's ship, he began to panic. No Japanese navy general could answer his question. Now they can only barely see the high side of the Tang Army's ship, and they haven't even discovered that these ships are It is covered with a layer of steel plates, and the ramming angle of the bow is a large steel ingot poured in one piece. Even if it hits the reef, it can crack the reef, not to mention that they don't even have a keel. backward wooden boat.

And at such a long distance, Tang Jun's attack has already started. The newly developed three-bow bed crossbow specially developed by the Weapons Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry has a limit range of 500 meters. The distance of the army is less than 800 meters, and it is still in a downwind state. Its penetrating power is extremely strong. The arrow shaft with a thick arm and the fine steel arrowhead with a big fist can directly connect the deck of a Japanese ship to the bottom plate or the bulkhead. Penetrating, on the decks of ten large ships, only sixty bed crossbows fired in salvo, hitting dozens of ships on the edge until they lost their ability to move.

The scariest scene of this kind of blow is that when the arrow penetrates the body of a person, the entire chest and abdomen will be directly smashed into blood and flesh by the high-speed rotating arrow, splashing everywhere. One arrow can penetrate the bodies of several people.

"Ah! Woo~"

The sound of screams came from the forefront Japanese warship, Zhao He and other little guys couldn't help covering their eyes, the scene was too cruel.

As the bed crossbow arrows were shot round after round, the sense of fear suddenly spread throughout the Japanese army. Although the arrows shot by the Tang army were not many, their lethality was huge. The key was that they were completely passive and beaten. The strongest bow and crossbow equipped on the ship can only shoot the arrows more than 100 meters away at most under the condition of headwind. Even if the shooting range is doubled or three times, they still can't touch the ship's side of the Tang army's warship. How can we fight?
"Stretch, stretch, stretch..."

The shooting of the bed crossbow continued, and soon, the ships at the front of the Japanese army began to shrink back. The soldiers, sailors and boatmen on board ran to the ships behind one after another. Some even jumped into the sea and swam to the ships behind. , No one wants to be bloody from being shot by such a big arrow.

"The Japanese didn't make any progress at all. This kind of battle didn't have any technical content. All the ships in their front shrank back, and the soldiers and sailors also fled back. All the warships were nestled in the port. As long as our The hot air balloon is in place, and after a few rounds of kerosene bombs are dropped, they will be wiped out. Let’s kill them all, or keep a few prisoners, what do you say?” Zhao Long didn’t even bother to stand on the podium to direct in such a non-technical battle Yes, come down and ask Zhang Gongjin for instructions.

"This is coming to an end? Then you leave me the ship with the flag of the Japanese royal family! It may be of some use to us to capture a big figure of the royal family."

"Order."

From the beginning of the war to the present, there has not been even half an hour, and the enemy ship is still 500 meters away. Zhao Long is about to announce that the battle is over. This kind of victory makes Zhang Gongjin a little confused. Wanwo National Navy!Is this a naval battle?

When his binoculars swept over the Japanese navy, Zhao Long had already given the last order according to his intention, and then, he saw black jars being thrown down by the soldiers on the hanging basket, Then, the crowded warship area of ​​the Japanese Navy turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Since the warships on the edge were all damaged by the big arrows shot by the bed crossbow, and the crew and soldiers on board also fled backwards, all the Japanese ships were nestled in the harbor, and they couldn't disperse. Smashed on their boats, even if they flowed to the surface, the fire would burn directly on the water, and the speed of overfire was simply too fast.

Zhao Long, who saw this scene in the telescope, turned dark and said, "It seems that we used too much force. For a naval force like the Japanese, we don't need to use this joint sea-air attack method. Now if you want to catch a big shot in their royal family, you will have to go into the fire to save people."

　Thank you snstonemark for the reward, thank you, ask for tickets once a week, brothers and sisters, don’t forget, recommend, monthly tickets, is the motivation for me to work hard to code, thank you everyone.
