Chapter 583 Inspiration from Historical Naval Battles

The method of using this copper system is to use a stool as a stand, add a movable plate, embed a gun at both ends, and shoot a gun after one gun, and then fire another gun. When it is released, it is the most convenient to hold a big rock bullet in the muzzle, illuminate the bottom of the pirate ship, and shoot it flat on the water surface to break the ship. In fact, if this is explained in more modern words, it is a semi-automatic slingshot.

This is almost certainly the earliest naval gun device in the world, and it was the most advanced in the navy in this era. In addition to using guns, the warships of the Dongmu Navy also use firearms such as firearm bottles.

The fire bomb bottle is about twenty centimeters tall, with a bulging belly, slightly pointed at both ends, and is olive-shaped. It is packed with gunpowder and thrown onto the enemy ships to kill and burn enemy ships. It can be seen that the weapons on the Dongmu Navy warships in the Tang Dynasty focus on the needs of near-range combat. Not only are there a complete variety, but also a large number. Therefore, the naval warships of the Yuan Dynasty had the ability to fight independently and cooperate in combat, becoming a powerful maritime military force.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan dared to propose this so-called two-year period, and Muto Ichiro dared to agree to this matter.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty's warships have changed the pole used to hammer enemy ships in naval battles. This thing has disappeared from the newly built warships of Ichiro Muto and others, and the warship itself plows and sinks the enemy ships. In addition, the high-end and sophisticated weapons equipped on the warships can be said to be able to deal a very fatal blow to the enemy regardless of distance.

Not only that, Li Qing racked his brains to recall what the warships of all eras they learned in his previous life. After all, if he got an object related to a warship and wanted to buy a good price, he had to know the background of the use of this thing very clearly, which naturally also includes some things applied to the warship.

In fact, Li Wen had known for a long time that the sea boats of the Song Dynasty were headed by Fujian ships, while the sea boats of the Ming Dynasty were headed by Wuhua ships in Zhoushan. Zhejiang Zhijian often used sand boats to prevent the Japanese, and later used sand boats, Fucang ships and Dongguan ships to guard Zhoushan.

The large-sized lucky ship has great power, which is convenient for rushing to plow the enemy ship, which is the so-called fighting ship's strength but not manpower. The Dafu ship has three layers of turtle bottom and wide top, high head and tail, and can accommodate hundreds of people. The shape and specifications of the lucky ship are the most complete.

The skeleton of the main ship was made of iron-powered wood, which was stronger than that of the blessed ship, but iron-powered wood was rare and inconvenient to maintain. Later, the guerrilla general Hou Guobi improved it, using the blessed ship at the bottom and the blessed ship surface. During the Ming Dynasty, when fighting in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the two pointed eagle ships were often used to go first. It was quick to sail and was as easy as advance and retreat; the sand ship followed it and was invincible.

Especially the Shilu Cangshan boat in Zhejiang, which was originally a fishing boat in Taiping County, played a major role in the war against Japanese devils and was known as the "Cangshan Iron". Later, the battlefield moved south and used blessing ships to defend the enemy.

With so many warships, Li Nai naturally couldn't let Muto Ichiro build them all for him. He could only choose the most useful part of the Tang Dynasty, or find out a few things he thought were advantages and could achieve with the Tang Dynasty's shipbuilding technology.

Of course, there are also many contributions to the past lives of Li Neng's memory of the water wars in the Song and Ming dynasties. He has not shown anyone the text compiled by Li Neng. He knows that if the things he recalled randomly, he would probably have become a famous military strategist in history if they were circulated.

The most famous of these is the Wen Zhijie in Ningtai in the 40th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang, Hu Zhen and other warships fought in close combat with Japanese ships, plowed and sunk more than ten enemy ships, and burned five enemy ships.

From this battle example, we can see that the Ming army's warships had a great advantage at that time, and the structural strength and navigation speed of the ship were better than those of enemy ships. The Ming Dynasty also built "two-end ships" with rudders at both ends and rapid advance and retreat, as well as special warships, joint circumference boats and child-maternal boats.

The hull of the Lianhuan boat is at least four meters long and is divided into two parts. The front is blocked with one third, loaded with an explosive firearm, and then two thirds. When the warriors collided with the enemy ship, the boat fell and pulled the head and pulled it. After the firearm exploded, it was destroyed with the enemy ship.

During the impact, the iron ring connected to the front and back cuts is self-disassembled, and the rear cuts can be returned before the explosion. The mother and mother boat is 3 zhang and 5 feet long, and the front 2 zhang is a ship, and there is only the two side plates on the side of the side. The belly is empty, and a son boat is hidden. The mother boat gets angry and burns with the enemy ship. The sergeant can drive the son and return to the camp.

Although Li Yi did not tell Muto Ichiro directly these battle examples, Li Yi drew all the warships used in them according to his own understanding. He knew that this would definitely be of great inspiration to Muto Ichiro.

Not only did he bring out the experience of later generations, but before the Tang Dynasty, there were actually many things worth learning from by the current Tang Dynasty. When Li Zhi was the emperor, he was actually the time when the Tang Dynasty navy truly showed his power. Otherwise, before that, the Japanese navy was recognized as the number one among all tribes.

When Li Zhi was young, he confidently extended his expansion tentacles to the Korean Peninsula in later generations with his father's reputation that day. Su Dingfang, a famous kingdom crusher, began his magical legend of destroying a country in every battle. General Su's command of his command swept North Korea by 100,000, and Baekje was killed at that time.

However, when the main force of the Tang army retreated, the Baekje people launched the resumption movement, and Prince Fuyufeng returned from Japan and inherited the throne.

It can be imagined that this prince, in order to gain the support of the Japanese and inherit the throne, must have made many promises of losing power and humiliating the country. In order to protect his own interests, the Japanese had to interfere, and the Tang Dynasty and Japan inevitably collided at that time.

At that time, the Japanese navy had an absolute advantage. The Japanese navy had more than 1,000 warships of various types, with a force of 40,000. However, the Tang navy commanded by Liu Rengui had less than 200 warships and more than 13,000 soldiers.

One thousand against two hundred ships, which was the proportion of enemy and us warships at that time. The Japanese had an absolute advantage, and the entire battlefield was backed by Baekje. It can be said that the Japanese also enjoyed half of the treatment at home. The format was very unfavorable for the Tang army and it was difficult to have a chance of winning. However, just when the Japanese commanders were already looking forward to victory, the battlefield did indeed have one-sided phenomenon as they wished, but it was the Japanese navy.

Under the outstanding command of a famous general Liu Rengui, the Tang Dynasty's naval army showed that the enemy was weak and lured the enemy into deep. When the overall situation of the Japanese fleet entered the mouth of the Baijiang River, many warships blocked the narrow channel. The advantage of the number of warships not only did not become the key to victory, but instead became the burden of the Japanese navy's failure.
