Chapter 82 Muze 2
At this time, Xiong Jing took back his thoughts. Lu Lijing turned to the tower ship that was bulging and was about to be attacked. The lifting arm on the tower ship was still hanging a forty-ton bridge pier, which was not put down or raised, and was suspended on the Muze water surface.
Xiong Jing, who had witnessed the enemy drills in Shaopi, knew very well that this was also a way for the defense of the building ship. The pier weighing 40 tons could be rotated and the enemy boat on the marsh surface could be dispersed like a scarecrow.
Perhaps this problem was discovered. The warship facing the bridge pier in the west did not shoot the flag like the other three sides. A small boat that was sent to the command rushed to the flagship where the flag was located, and soon returned to the west. Amid the drum sounds, a flag on the warship on the west was raised helplessly. The five warships in the front row were all in the wood pulp, and they were about to collide.
"Here!" Xiong Jing murmured, whether the tower ship can block the collision of the Qin army's warship depends on this time. If the Qin army is blocked this time, they will be afraid of the tower ship next time. If they taste the sweetness this time, they will attack in groups next time. The tower ships equipped with huge iron armor on all sides are not afraid of impact, they are afraid of...
"The Qin people are here! The Qin people are here!" Wei Zeng, the King of Wei at the head of the city of Daliang, shouted at the Qin army's warships that were getting faster and faster, almost like a speeding Qin army, and his heart was raised to his throat. He also wanted to avoid Penglai and preserve the Wei country's country's country. However, the Qin army suddenly besieged the city, and the warships patrol the marsh faces. The Wei country could not avoid it even if it wanted to avoid it. His son was weak outside the city, without ministers, soldiers, and gold, silver and treasures, and the country was difficult to survive. The only hope now is that the Chu people successfully built bridges.
Unlike him, Empress Dowager Zhao, who was also standing under the banner, looked at a figure in Mu Ze's carriage silently. She had seduced that man, but that man only loved his wife. But some of the actions of the man a few months ago made her hope. He favored the princesses of various countries and lie down with several princesses. Will he still refuse himself?
A woman's life is very short. Once a person is old and yellow, she will be abandoned by a man. Linghui tries her best to maintain her body, which makes her beauty continue to this day. But in two years, she will grow old. Even now, her skin is no longer tight, her breasts are no longer tall, and she will die of old age in this surrounded city.
The rumbling drums trembled everyone's heartstrings, and only a woman was trapped in the beauty's sorrow. Climbing onto that man's man's bed was not just for the benefit of Zhao State, but more of a kind of spiritual sustenance before the stunning beauty passed away. The most beautiful face in the world should have been dedicated to the greatest man in the world, but now there is a big lake that is more than twenty miles wide between the two.
"It's a little more!" Unlike the people around, the thrust in the boat cabin was paddling with all their strength. The warship was slow at first, and then it was like a small boat. The boat officials were still not satisfied with this, and they kept shouting about speeding up in order to hit at a faster speed.
On the lifting tower ship, Bu Liangju kept shouting "Be prepared". "Be prepared" is not the literal meaning. What he really wanted to express was to "stabilize" and not to fire the cannons without authorization. In nearly a year, Jutiedu Mansion built a short-barrel cannon weighing 68 kilograms. This kind of cannon with a larger caliber and a lower initial velocity can smash the three-oared warship with one shot, causing it to sink.
However, it also has its own flaws: the artillery cannot reach far. There is no killing or injury a mile away, and it cannot even break the side of the warship boat for more than 450 steps. His order was that the enemy boat would only fire the cannon within one mile, and it would never fire in advance.
"It's ready!" The warships rushing towards him became louder and closer, and Bu Liangju's voice became more and more urgent. He expected that the enemy boat had advanced to three hundred steps and suddenly shouted: "Let it go--!"
"Let it go!" The cannon leader's voice was even higher than Bu Liangju. A short-barrel cannon opened fire with a "bomb" and the fire broke out. The speed of the cannon was visible to the naked eye. The cannon sounded continuously. There were the newly built short-barrel 68-jin cannons from Jutiedu Mansion, and more were the ten-jin cannons of the Lingshi cannons. The lifting ship suddenly turned into a broken chimney, and the smoke of gunfire spread.
If you are hit by a ten-pound shell, you will leave the body and limbs of Yizhou Cang. If you are hit by a sixty-eight-pound short-barrel cannon, the warship will make a big hole. There is nothing wrong with the waterline, and the warship below the waterline will slow down instantly. The boatman has to put away the oars and let the warship that follows closely behind fill its position.
A distance of 300 steps and a speed of 12 knots will take sixty-seven seconds. These sixty-seven seconds are enough to fire four guns for ten kilograms, which is enough to fire three guns for sixty-eight kilograms. The closer the warship, the higher the hit rate. One shot can make the warship boat break through the 68 kilograms of slowing down the warship boat roar continuously. Two of the five warships rushing in front of them were destroyed. The warships behind could not see the situation ahead because of the smoke of gunpowder. In the west, there were only three warships rushing to the side of the tower ship at full speed.
The sound of "bang--" was so loud that the soldiers of Wei Zhao at the head of Daliang City and the soldiers of Chu on the south bank of Muze could also hear that the warship that first hit the tower ship in the smoke suddenly stopped, and the stern of the high-rise scorpion boat flew up from the ze surface because the bow of the boat suddenly stopped. After the forward momentum was exhausted, it fell from mid-air and shot a huge splash of water in the smoke. At this time, the warships on the other three sides also hit the side of the boat, making a huge sound.
"Why is this?" Wang Jian, who was watching the battle, asked. He had seen many warship impacts, but never the stern of the warship would rise up like this time.
"The last general, the last general is unknown." Tian Pu was sweating all over his head, and the scorching sun in the summer tanned his face. He frowned and looked at the building ship that was hit by continuous impact. Under the cover of the smoke, he could not see the degree of impact.
"General——" The boatman beside him pointed to the huge bridge pier that was originally suspended in the air. When the striking, the bridge pier did not move, but now the bridge pier was moving. The lifting arm that was hanging on it slowly rotated around in place. The war boats that had no time to retreat in the smoke collided with each other under the squeeze of the bridge pier, and finally turned over. The boatman, the armored soldiers, and the stern hands floated on the surface of the marsh.
"Can the enemy boat be broken? Will the enemy boat be broken?" It is inevitable that Tian Pu wants the result, but unfortunately no one can answer his question. The cannons on the tower ship had not stopped, and the cannons loaded with shotguns killed and injured the Qin people in the water. The thick smoke of gunfire enveloped the entire tower ship, and no one knew whether the tower ship had been broken. Just waited for a little by little, and when the cannons stopped and the smoke dissipated, everyone saw that the tower ship was floating on the marsh surface without any damage, surrounded by the bodies of the Qin people floating.
"Long live! Long live..." The people in Muze also saw the lifting of the tower ships were unscathed. They cheered, and some people even took off their iron helmets and threw them into the air. After a brief shout, the simple "Long live" was replaced by "Long live Da Ao". Finally, even the people in Daliang City who had never witnessed the battle in Zebei were shouted excitedly.
"The Qin people were defeated! The Qin people were defeated! The Qin people were defeated..." Xia water was overwhelming, and the Daliang city walls had not collapsed, but the water in the city was insufficient from the besieged city, but now the water was deeper than a foot. Deaths are inevitable, and epidemics occur from time to time, but the most important thing is not to despair. The 600,000 Qin troops were defeated now. People in the city who did not know the truth shouted and cried bitterly.
"Crash again!" Tian Pu's face turned pale and green, and red. He originally thought the tower ship would be injured, but he didn't expect that the tower ship would be damaged after being hit by more than ten warships. Wang Jian didn't say anything, and he had guessed that things would not be so simple.
The flag was waving and the drums calmed down Mu Zenanbei's cheering crowd again. However, unlike the anxiety just now, people believe that the Qin people would not have any results this time. Moreover, several tower ships on the Ze were also mobilized, and the ships transporting the piers were already helping each other. Another tower ship also quickly lowered the crane arm to support it and lifted a piers for defense.
The warships were speeding on the marsh again. This collision was not as fast as the previous one, but the density was far higher than the last time. When the tower ship was fifty steps away, the five warships in the front row suddenly retracted their oars, and the five warships in the back row also retracted their oars. They quickly inserted into the gap between the front row warships. It didn't matter how many warships were sunk by artillery damage and sinking, and more warships hit the side of the tower ship.
However, the tower ship still did not break through. A warship boatman who had been killed or injured countless times and barely retreated from the smoke of gunpowder found that the bronze horn at the front of the warship had actually broken. Wang Jian, who saw this scene in Lu Li's mirror, shouted in a flash: "Jiujia!"
The huge armor can be worn on soldiers or on boats. Wang Jian, who learned that he only had more than 90,000 armor-breaking spears, was thinking about armor-breaking. The broken bronze strike made him laugh bitterly. The Qin army on the shore cannot break the armor, and the Qin army on the water cannot break the armor. Is God going to destroy the Qin Dynasty?
"Send orders! Each boat..." Cheers came from both sides of Muze, and cheers came from Daliang City again, and Tian Pu, who was unwilling to give in, wanted to order again.
"Stop!" Wang Jian said to stop him. "The Jingren Tower ships were all covered with giant armor. How can I break them?"
"General, if the Jing people win, if the long bridge is complete, our army..." Tian Pu defended that he did not believe that the Chu people's tower ship would not sink.
"The bridge cannot be made in one day. Even if it is built, it can be destroyed. Why should the general be anxious for a moment?" Seeing the bronze bow breaking, Wang Jian knew that Tian Pu had no choice but to face the Chu people's giant armor like him. If he fights again, it would be unprofitable to kill soldiers. Although Zhao Zheng did not have the requirement of winning theories, saving soldiers was Wang Jian's instinct.
"The last general..." The tower ship was not sank, and Tian Pu wanted to hit him. Now that he retreated, the two warships in front were dead.
"General Tian will set another method and withdraw the troops." Wang Jian gave the order personally. Seeing that Tian Pu did not object, the zombies immediately rang the bronze zombies. With the sound of the zombies, dozens of warships slowly retreated, and the calls from both sides reached a rush in an instant.
Xiong Jing smiled. The Chu army finally had a powerful weapon to deal with the Qin army's warships. Perhaps, if the output of 68 kilograms of cannons was enough, the Chu army could attack the Shahai Camp in winter.
