There's Still a Move, Crash
At this moment, on a five-tooth ship of the Yuezhou navy fleet.
On the side of the ship, Yuezhou Governor Lu Guangyi looked at the thirteen strange-looking warships in the distance.
"Mr. Qian, have you seen such a ship?”
Lu Guangyi asked a scholar beside him.
That was his advisor, Qian Deye.
Qian De pinched his goatee and shook his head,""Viceroy, I've never seen you before.”
Lu Guangyi looked at Li Chongyi, the son of King Hejian, who had a gloomy expression on his face.
"Your Highness, I have fought with the Black Tiger Navy several times. They are indeed very difficult to deal with. But you have 36 Mengchong Warships, how could they be wiped out so easily?”
Li Chongyi raised his head and looked at the thirteen battleships in the distance. The shadow in his heart was boundless.
"Viceroy, the Black Tiger Navy has a few ships, and each ship has at least a hundred oarsmen. They are rowing at full speed!”
"A hundred oarsmen?"
Lu Guangyi was stunned.
"This boat is slender and doesn't look too big. If there are so many oarsmen, there won't be many soldiers.”
"Viceroy, they don't rely on close combat to kill their enemies.”Li Chongyi said.
"Crossbow?"
"It's not a bow, but a kind of... It was a kind of red-hot iron bullet that was fired from a mile away. Once it hit, the fire would immediately spread and it was beyond saving!”
"A red-hot iron ball with a range of one mile?”
Lu Guangyi and Qian Deye looked at each other with a serious expression.
"Viceroy, the Black Tiger Navy's ships are extremely fast, and they can advance and retreat freely. In addition, they have a divine weapon that can shoot an iron ball a mile away. There's nothing we can do."
Li Chongyi said dejectedly.
His father, Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian, was a master of water warfare in the Tang army. He did not expect him to lose so thoroughly in water warfare.
"Fast speed, easy to advance and retreat, long shooting range, and an incendiary iron bullet.”Lu Guangyi's expression turned grave.
Mengchong was the fastest ship among the Tang Dynasty warships.
However, Li Chongyi said that Mengchong's speed could not even catch up with the enemy's tail.
"We can also use this red-hot iron bullet. This is a wonderful move. We can use the red-hot iron bullet to ignite the ship. Are we going to move the catapults onto the ship?"
Lu Guangyi thought.
Of course, the Tang army had catapults with such a long range, but the manual catapults needed manpower. The Tang Dynasty also had the balanced catapults, but the balanced catapults were so heavy. How big would it take to move them onto the ship?
Lu Guangyi was indeed an outstanding water battle general, but he didn't know that there was such a thing as a torsion-type stone cutter in this world.
"Viceroy, I have a plan!”
Qian Deye cupped his hands and said.
"Oh, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Guangyi asked hurriedly.
"These pirates rely on the speed of their ships and the distance of their cannons. If our army rashly uses the large ships to suppress them, I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy casualties.”Qian Deye said.
"Therefore, we have to use smaller boats that are faster than them. We have to use ten thousand ships at the same time to rush up quickly and entangle them. Then, the larger ships will press up and engage them in close combat. The bandits only have thirteen warships. Once we get close to them, the situation will be settled!!”
Lu Guangyi was overjoyed when he heard this.!”
Qian Deye was delighted.
Aren't you a fast boat? Why don't I just use a faster boat to entangle you?
Aren't you good at setting fire?
I use a hundred boats
The Tang army also had fast boats.
They were boats and ships equipped with footboards.
This was a boat with impellers on both sides. When the pedal was stepped on, the impellers would spin rapidly.
In Dongting Lake, where the waves were not big, the speed of this small boat was extremely terrifying.
In the eyes of Lu Guangyi and the others, Zhang Xun's Centipede Ship was a big ship after all. How could its speed be compared to a small ship like a boat?
"Guan Daji, listen up!" Lu Guangyi said seriously.
Beside him, a dark-faced man cupped his fists."I'm here!"
"I order you to lead a hundred carriages and attack at full speed to tie down the bandits!”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, Guan Daji immediately ordered more than a hundred small boats. Each boat could only carry more than twenty soldiers. Fishing nets were hung on both sides of the boat for climbing, and side signs were set up. There were two impellers on both sides of each boat. More than a dozen strong men shouted slogans and stepped on the pedal. The impellers started to rotate quickly!
"Beat the drum! Charge!"
Lu Guangyi personally took off his armor at the highest point of the Five Tooth Ship, revealing his strong muscles as he beat the drum.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of cars and boats split the water, leaving a clear white line behind them.
The speed of this boat was indeed astonishing.
...
"Father, they're here!"
Zhang Deyi said nervously.
"Not bad, this Lu Guangyi really has some skills.”
Zhang Xun praised.
As expected of the army of the early Tang Dynasty, their ability to summarize was still very strong.
By using the small boat to charge, the power of his incendiary bombs would be reduced by half. Moreover, the small boat was fast, so it would be difficult for him to dodge it.
"Order, all troops, line up in a horizontal line and prepare to charge!!”
Zhang Xun said loudly.
Not far away, Empress Zhangsun was being monitored by a few Black Tiger Navy soldiers, but they did not restrict her movements. Zhangsun Wugou stood on the side of the ship and nodded in admiration after seeing Lu Guangyi's response.
At this moment, after hearing Zhang Xun's order, Empress Zhangsun was suddenly stunned.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Xun, her body trembling slightly.
That's right…Crash!
It was a collision!
Lu Guangyi had sent out small boats, while Zhang Xun's side was filled with large boats.
The speed was too fast, and the bows of these boats were all installed with iron rams. As long as they hit them, these small boats would be destroyed.
Whoosh!
Very quickly!
The thirteen galleys paddled with all their might, breaking through the water surface and charging forward at the highest speed!
