"First of all, it has to sail on the sea. The height cannot be too bad, otherwise it will not withstand the wind and waves. The smallest of their sailboats is thirty meters, and the largest one is more than sixty meters, usually about forty or fifty meters, and there are at least fifty oars on each side of the ship."

"Each oar has at least three slaves rowing, and that is three hundred people, plus almost the same number of sailors and combat soldiers, a large 50-meter-long galleon has at least five hundred people!"

"The Aral Sea-class Clippers we are waiting for are only sixteen meters long, and the total number of people is only about forty. If the artillery is converted into personnel, the total number is only about fifty people."

"In other words, the weight of a large galleon is conservatively estimated to be ten times that of an Aral Sea-class Clipper. With its huge body, the resistance in the sea water is greater. Even if there are three hundred oarsmen driving at the same time, the speed cannot exceed that of only sixteen oarsmen. There is also a sail that can be quickly manipulated, and the bow is a sharp Aral Sea-class Clipper!"

When Li Simu was rushing towards the enemy ship with ten clutches, he couldn't help but hear what he said when Sun Xiurong personally taught them for the first time. Although the weight, resistance, and control, and sharp shape were very unfamiliar to him, he could not help but have the bonus of being in the sea for more than ten years.

The two fleets walked against each other again!

Since the Gothic ship was just a good wind, the only huge sail was naturally full. With the crazy paddling of three hundred slave oarsmen, the surge caused in an instant was still very large. At this time, if the ships much smaller than them were too close to them, they would easily be overturned by the surge.

However, for sailboats, due to the large size of the ship and the outrageous long oars, the surges formed between them also affect each other, so the distance is very wide.

For sailboats, if they go hand in hand, there is basically no possibility for small ships to penetrate into the gap between them and are still calm. In that case, it would be good to ensure that the ship does not overturn, let alone launching cannons.

But if it is a ship of the same size, due to its draft, it can withstand the swell to a certain extent and free up hands to bombard it with cannons.

Li Simu, the navy commander who had been in the Great Qin Kingdom for more than ten years, obviously knew all this. As the enemy ship approached, he took great care of it.

"what to do?"

In fact, when the enemy's sail was hung with a good wind, paddles, or in a relatively calm bay, its speed was not slow. His slowness was in the open sea. In that case, because the swelling of the sea itself was higher, the greater the resistance formed by his ship shape, which naturally could not match the cross sail with a triple mast and full-fried wind.

At this time, Li Simu had several choices.

First, follow the previous idea and continue to rush through the gaps between the sailboats. If you have a good gun skill and brave gun skills, you can get a cold phone for the enemy ship, and you will make a profit if you hit the target with one shot.

The second is to drill through the gap and don’t think about casting artillery. It would be nice to ensure that the artillery is not pushed into the sea by highly tilted ships. Then turn the bow of the ship and use the advantage of the boat’s maneuverability faster than the opponent to create a situation of more attacks in the local area.

Third, turn back immediately. If the enemy still catches up foolishly, they can gather in the bay and annihilate it.

In the end, he chose the second one, and the ten small boats were divided into three teams, and they penetrated straight into the gap between the sailboats!

At this time, in order to avoid the enemy ship coming suddenly, the clutch must paddle vigorously, and then the tail rudder must swing with all its strength!

Soon, although I was a little scared, the unique keel hem of the Qin Navy ship (one meter of water, plus one meter of keel hem actually reached two meters! The keel hem is a powerful tool to fight the ship's capsizing!) and the design of the ballast stone made all ships pass through the gap without any danger!

The length of the galley was about fifty meters. When the Aral Sea-class Clippers were passing through quickly, the people on their ship naturally shot arrows and threw javelins, etc. The Qin sailors did not fight back and suffered some minor losses.

After creeping over, the sailboat took great thought.

At this time, if they continue to rush forward, but the enemy is already behind. If they turn around, such a huge ship will take a long time to turn around and will easily cause chaos. Of course, they can naturally change the boating method to "pull" to "push", so that the ship can turn the direction in place.

However, the speed is much slower. You should know that all slave paddlers sit on the ground to pull the "l"-shaped paddle, and the three of them pull a long paddle side by side. All postures are to satisfy the maximum pulling force. They are wearing shackles on both feet. It is not impossible to change the posture, but it will take some time to prepare.

As for continuing to rush forward, they naturally had never thought that in the big bay, there were several equally huge ships of the enemy, and there were giant cannons they were afraid of!

So, continue to rush forward for a while, just don't rush through the exit and then turn according to the normal way.

When Li Simu and others sailed out of the range of four large galleys, everyone suddenly felt relieved due to the disappearance of the swell.

“Woo…”

In the middle, Li Simu's flagship issued an order to turn around immediately, and then he completed the turn at a very fast time while issuing the order!

This is the advantage of a ship with the concept of "keel hem". Otherwise, if the turn is too fast, it will still be easy to cause overturning.

The wind was windy, the oars, and the ten speedboats were still three groups. The four middle ships were swaying in front and back, and the three left and right ships were swaying in front and back, and suddenly penetrated through three gaps between the four front ships!

This made the enemies in front of them a little stunned. The officers on their ship naturally knew that the big ship was likely to cause swells when sailing on the sea. Their own small boats were also frightened when they crossed. Generally, they drove past the outside of the big ship, but what was the name of these enemies rushing over now?

What they don’t know is that whether they are traveling in opposite directions or in the same direction, they will cause surges between the ships. However, if they are traveling in the same direction, the surges they cause can also be leveraged for small boats in the same direction!

At this time, the ship was slowly turning, and at this moment, with the help of the south wind and the oar force, the ten Atami-class clutches had cut in!

When three small boats come in in a pose with one leap forward and one lever, the length of the front and back exceeds that of the large boat!

"boom......"

Under the premise of three-force bonus, the Clippers quickly advanced with four large ships!

At this time, all the small cannons on the ship, 300 kilograms and 200 kilograms, began to bombard. The short-barrel cannon of 300 kilograms, and the 200 kilograms of Fran cannon was shot out!

In an instant, a large amount of smoke filled the sea!

In the smoke of gunpowder, the Qin sailors continued to row forward until they stopped far away from the large ship.

At this time, they happened to be stuck at the exit of the bay!

On the bay, Sun Xiaojin and Feng Ce were watching the bombardment effect of this round in the telescope.

As mentioned earlier, there are only three 300-pound short-barrel cannons on each side of the Ate-class Clippers, plus two Franco cannons, which is five. Although they are walking in the same direction, they can also borrow the help of the swell, but it is a swell after all, and the swaying up and down is also very large.

There are four clutchs in the middle, and there are twelve 300 kilograms on one side. Since the height of the clutch is much lower than that of the sailboat, if the cannons on the clutch are in flat firing at the beginning, when the swelling waves strike, the side of the ship will naturally rise high, so the muzzle will be facing upwards. If the height and area of ​​the galloping are included, the probability of hitting the enemy ship is also very high (at about ten meters, the cannon has almost no sinking after the bore).

As for the other Franco cannons, they are completely relied on the sky. If they happen to be cast at the moment of the swell, they can kill the enemies on the ship. If they are not shotguns, they will all be shot into the boat or into the water. However, in any case, they will also cause damage to the slave paddlers who are paddling.

Generally speaking, twelve short-barrel cannons hit 30% at a distance of ten meters, which means there is no problem for three to four cannons to hit the target.

The five-pound iron bullet looks very light, but in fact it is also an iron ball with a diameter of more than eight centimeters!

At present, all the sailboats in the world have fewer than ten centimeters of ships. Since all the artillery on the Qin army's clutch are arranged on the first deck, they are temporarily set up and not fixed. Therefore, their position is not like the artillery on the middle deck of the large ship. When bombarded, even if they hit the enemy ship, their position will be diverse.

Some hit the top of the boat gang, some flew in from the oar mouth, and some blasted into the area below its waterline!

The shotgun is more comprehensive. When a pack of shotguns is wrapped in a net bag, the shotguns naturally melt at high temperatures, and one shotgun is spewed out in all directions, causing a blow to all directions of up, down, left and right!

When we looked again, the speed of the four galleys suddenly slowed down, and two of them even knocked down, but in the telescope, we could not tell whether the ships had been fatally damaged.

At this time, Li Simu showed off her excellent sense of battlefield smell.

The ten fast-turned the ships quickly completed the turn and rushed towards the four big ships!

"boom......"

At this time, the ten fast ships finally began to implement the strategy of "bombing three or four ships around a large ship", and another burst of smoke filled the sea.

For a short-barrel gun with a 300-pound dose, due to the small amount of medicine, it can only take one stop for ten rounds of bombardment. Therefore, the smoke never dissipated until the end of the ten rounds of bombardment!

After the south wind, the bay exit is clear at a glance:

A large ship was overturning, and the five-pound shell obviously hit its waterline;

Half of a large ship's hull has been sank into the water, and the other half is sinking;

A big ship ignited a raging fire;
Chapter completed!
