Chapter 132 Battleship (2)

In terms of appearance and difficulty of transformation, the sign is a choice, but Zhao Bing did not choose it.?????                                                                                                                 ?b?i?q?u    This is because warships are platforms used for combat and also require weapons.

During this period, the warship fighting method not only continued to use ancient platoon battles, but also paid more attention to the use of projectile weapons. Generally speaking, the two sides fought at a certain distance, so the role of projectile weapons in naval battles is increasing. In naval battles, there is a saying that "bows and arrows are the best, hooks and guns are the next, and hand swords are the next. Due to the development of firearms, weapons such as rockets and artillery are also paid special attention to in naval battles.

Of course, the application of rockets and artillery in the Song and Yuan dynasties was still in its initial stage. Rockets were just bundled with a cartridge on the arrow, ignited and then fired with a crossbow to increase the range. Artillery was not a metal-body gunshot in the modern sense, but just a gunpowder pack powered by a stone thrower. However, because such weapons are both projectile weapons and fire attacks, they can destroy enemy ships while killing and destroying enemy ships, and they are still valued by all parties.

In order to gain an advantage in naval battle, Zhao Bing has already "understood" the crossbows and used them in actual combat, achieving great results. This solved the problem of the lack of artillery and the need for long-range powerful weapons. However, the crossbows are dozens of times heavier than bows and arrows, and they take up much more space. The shooter who operates the crossbows also needs to complete it by multiple people. Obviously, the small hull and low load capacity are difficult to handle.

In addition to long-range weapons, the turtle ship also has a killing skill, which is to rely on the angle on the bow of the boat to hit the hull under the waterline of the enemy ship, causing the enemy ship to sink into the water. In order to obtain the maximum impact force, in addition to the faster the ship must also have a larger size. Otherwise, after the collision, the sinking will not be known to whom it is? The same death is not the result that Zhao Bing wants. These fatal flaws forced him to be eliminated.

Another feature of water warships using warships as carriers is that warships must adjust the configuration of firepower and troops at any time according to the specific situation of the battlefield, which requires them to have good maneuverability and quickly divide and gather and disperse to obtain the initiative of the battlefield. On the contrary, if warships lose their mobility, they are in a situation where attack is difficult to attack and defense is difficult to defend, becoming a fixed target for the enemy's wanton attack, thus losing the initiative of the battlefield.

The turtle uses oars as power and is maneuverable and flexible. However, the sea hull is large in size. Therefore, it mainly relies on sails as power. Therefore, it is obviously affected by the climate and wind. In the case of a downwind, the navy warship can ride freely and can directly hit the enemy's formation. Try to use the influence of wind to turn it into its own advantages. Similarly, if it is against the wind, it will fall into a difficult situation of maneuverability and passively beating. The turtle ship uses surprise as the main tactical choice, and having good mobility is necessary. It is obvious that sea hull is difficult to be competent.

In this way, multiple paddle boats became the last choice. Although their mobility is not as good as those of the crafts, their hull is eight zhang long and three feet wide, with a load of 800 materials, and can carry 200 soldiers. It can fully meet the requirements of carrying crossbows and soldiers. Moreover, its size is large, and with the impact angle, it can not only severely damage the enemy ship during impact, but also ensure its own safety. As the name suggests, multiple paddle boats drive ships to sail by paddle paddles. The use of forty-two paddles can ensure that it can have high navigation and good maneuverability. When it is transformed, it also has the ability to sail by wind...

"This may be able to defend Qiongzhou!" Zhao Bing finalized the renovation plan, which was a matter of putting down some thoughts that had troubled him for a long time. He murmured with relief. A sea war appeared in his mind.

The two armies confronted each other on the wide sea surface in the strait. Our army first sent rocket ships to strike at long distances. Under the bombardment of rockets flying all over the sky, the enemy ships were either hit and caught fire. They tried their best to avoid each other, causing great losses. After the rocket attack was completed, the enemy reorganized and wanted to attack again. The turtle ships lie in the dark set off and continued to fire at medium and long distances, killing and injuring the sailors on the enemy ships and destroying their masts.

Although the enemy ship used stone throwers and crossbows to attack the turtle ship, the iron armor on its back provided it with good protection and could not cause fatal damage to us. After both sides approached, the turtle ship turned to the horn to hit the enemy ship. The enemy soldiers wanted to engage in close combat. When they successfully jumped onto the back of the turtle ship, the iron spikes on it became a new nightmare. They were either stabbed to death or dared not move again. Those who were lucky enough to climb onto the side of the ship were hit by arrows or spears shot out by the warriors in the turtle ship, and they could not escape death.

The enemy fleet, which had two rounds of attacks, was now seriously injured. At this time, our navy fleet composed of large warships launched the final attack, crushing the enemy small ships with the force of Mount Tai, attacking the enemy's main warships. At the same time, the equipment crossbow cannons continued to kill and injure the enemy soldiers on the enemy ships, cover our soldiers for the boarding battle, kill and injure the enemy crew, capture the enemy ships, and end the battle.

Of course, this ideal situation can only be achieved when the enemy and our troops are equal, or the enemy has a slightly superior force. However, if the enemy has absolute advantage in the situation of multiple attacks, it is inevitable that the strength of the navy will be too short and difficult to realize what they think. After all, there are many ants that can kill the elephant, so the Anti-Deng 6 battle will be inevitable.

"How should I defend the enemy forcefully climbed 6?" Zhao Bing, who had just been happy for a moment, was worried about this problem. He was worried about anything besides the turtle ship, the crossbows and the rockets. He fell into pain again. He felt like he was in the eyes of a storm. Although he temporarily avoided the strong wind and waves, there were surging waves around him. He would be thrown into it if he was not careful. He had to avoid it carefully, otherwise he would have to face it.

"Your Highness, Deputy Envoy Pan will lead the fleet to sail tonight and escort the last batch of supplies to Qiongzhou. He came to say goodbye and asked His Highness what else to explain." At this moment, a small yellow gate whispered a few words in Wang De's ear, and he came over to report.

"I have nothing to do, just act according to the scheduled plan. If I have something to think about, I will not see him." Zhao Bing heard it and saw that it was already noon, and frowned, obviously a little dissatisfied with being interrupted.

"Okay, I'll tell Deputy Envoy Pan!" Wang De said with a smile and retreated and went out.
