Chapter 673: In the name of a strong man (middle)

"Full speed ahead!"

Mi Yuan was roaring wildly, not only was the warship under her feet breaking through the big waves and moving forward, there were also friendly ships on the left and right who were willing to fight to the death together. Their fifteen warships also formed a triangle when they charged. This is the standard formation of warships charging in the current era. It depends on the need to wait for the formation of the warships to change into before they will take the enemy.

The fifteen warships faced hundreds of enemy ships. When they charged forward, the Gupta dynasty’s large fleet quickly reacted. Katlukkap didn’t know why they only sent the same number of ships. The battleship meets.

The two fleets of the same number quickly clashed. It was the first lasing of the bed crossbow after entering the range. Waiting to enter the range of the bow and crossbow, there was another area in the sea that always struck a meteor-like bright spot in the mid-air. .

In rainy weather, ordinary fires cannot burn for a long time, but the rockets used in wars are not tied to cloth strips and ignited. Basically, they will be processed with some grease. The Han army used fierce fire oil, and the Gupta Dynasty used it. Crude oil (petroleum) that has not been processed, but no matter what oil is used, as long as it is repeatedly rained down, it will quickly go out.

It’s not easy to burn somewhere under the rain. Usually it’s when the enemy’s soldier carrying an oil can is shot, or the enemy’s grease storage facility is simply shot. Only then will the fire be strong enough to catch the heavy rain. The point of contending. In this situation, regardless of the fact that the two sides are shooting to and fro, it is very lively, but in fact, the destructive power to the warship (building) is very limited, but the lethality to the personnel is no different.

Another point is that due to the influence of rain, the range of various long-range attack weapons will inevitably be shortened. After the bowstring and crossbowstring are wetted by the rain, the strings will gradually become soft and lose tension soon, even if they are still wet. Shoot, but actually can't shoot far.

"Rush over and hit it directly!" Mi Yuan saw that the fire on the water village at the front of his home port was not small, and there was already a warship called Gupta approaching the water village. My heart was nervous and confused. I really didn't understand what was going on. . When he felt anxious, he didn't have the patience to dawdle with the warring enemy ship: "Let's go to the side battle!"

When the captain gave the order, it was natural that the chief officer and related personnel relayed the order layer by layer. On the battleship, the soldiers gave up their bows or crossbows, replaced them with small shields and melee weapons, grabbed the surrounding objects that could reduce the impact, and waited for the upcoming battle.

"Ding on the 26th sent a signal, they are about to start a collision!"

"Do it!"

"promise!"

These Han army warships engaged in raid warfare, they really didn’t know the series of plans for the home port. They felt incredible that the frontier of the water village was broken through so quickly. At the same time, driven by a feeling of grief and indignation, they really wanted to fight the enemy. .

The rain has always been small or small, and they look at each other tens of meters apart, but the outline of each other will actually be a little fuzzy. In this kind of weather, the wind seemed to be erratic. After the two sides entered the fighting state, the ship actually lowered its sails and changed its power to the oars. In addition to the erratic wind, they actually lowered the sail to prevent the open sail from being fired by the rocket.

The sound of the oars hitting the sea was covered by too many noises on the battlefield. On the side of Gupta, when he discovered that the Han army was about to launch a collision, it was actually too late to evade it.

"Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!"

A dull crash sounded in the collision of the ship, followed by a creak of wood conveying the distortion of the ship's hull.

The warship Miyuan was on hit the Gupta's half-waist with its bow, and directly broke through the hull and got in.

When the two boats collided, people on the hull could feel like they were pushed by a huge force in an instant. It’s better to have grasped the object to fix it, and the person who touched it would really fall. Roll the gourd on the ground.

"Back up, back up immediately! The enemy ship's hull is damaged and it is no longer worthy of jumping to help fight. Find another target!"

Once the ship is damaged below the water level, the seawater will be poured under the action of water pressure. It can block the breach and it can be rescued. Once the hull made of wood is broken, a large amount of navy will be poured in, and there is no waterproofing. In addition, the cabin door is not easy to block, and soon the cabin will be filled with sea water, and it should be tilted in an instant, and it will not take long for the entire ship to sink.

"The bow of the ship is leaking? Block it! If it can't be blocked, you will fight until the warship sinks to the bottom of the sea!"

After all, they are all wooden boats. No matter how strong the hull structure is, it cannot withstand collisions. Whether it is actively hitting people or being hit passively, water leakage will inevitably occur. The difference is which part is used to withstand the impact.

The sound of crashing in this sea area sounded one after another, and two warships with various parts next to each other could be seen everywhere in an instant.

Not all Han warships can be as lucky as the Miyuan ship. They hit the enemy ship halfway when they collided. Most of the ships collided with the bows. Then they began to diffuse each other at close range, and the two were fighting against each other. The soldiers of the ship are trying their best to make the transition to the enemy ship, usually throwing out the hooked noose to the enemy ship, swinging past like an ape, and there will be a scene of soldiers falling into the sea continuously.

War is to use all available violent methods. As long as it can eliminate the enemy, it is a good method. When the two battleship formations in the desperate stage can see each other, they are still controlling the crossbow to shoot at the enemy. , Being able to throw the burning can to the other party would be a life-threatening loss.

"It's really fierce!" Egutaibahram deliberately brought the fleet closer, watching the scene of the mixed fight, and said with a deep thought: "Put down the boat, and leaning over, you will be rescued when you see the Han soldiers."

In any battle on the sea, someone will fall into the water, and they will definitely not die for a while. Depending on how long the temperature of the sea can last, no matter how long the battle is over, the enemy will have a chance to be saved.

The Persian Sassanid side is hostile to the Gupta dynasty and is subconsciously friendly to the Han people. Egutaibahram doesn’t mind helping the Han people wherever he can, and wants to get in touch with the Han people, preferably from the Han people’s mouth. Learned about the situation in the East.

The Gupta dynasty had long discovered that the Persian Sassanian fleet was approaching, but did not make any moves, and even did not send warships to reinforce its own fleet that was in fierce fighting.

"Regardless of victory or defeat, fifteen ships do not matter at all in this battlefield." Katlukkap paid more attention to the attack on the Han military water village, and asked: "The striker has already entered. ?"

The Gupta formation led by Zampte Warren was indeed close enough to the Han Army Water Village. The warships under his command and organization did not suffer major losses during the approaching process, that is, every warship was full of arrows. arrow.

There was no remote communication method in the Gupta dynasty. Zampte Warren noticed something wrong. For example, there were too many burning spots in the Hanjun Water Village. The resistance was only fierce at the beginning, but gradually weakened in the back. Most importantly, he didn't notice any signs of the Han army sending out any warships to resist. The latter point was actually very strange.

When the naval port is attacked, any navy will do its best to put the warships in the port into combat. Even if the warships are moved, it is definitely better than staying in place. Whether they can effectively resist is another matter. .

[Today is raining, the Han Empire did not notice that our fleet is approaching in time? 】Zampute Warren thinks that this can be explained: 【But...even if there is no reaction in the front, there should be actions in the back! 】

There is another doubt. The fire in the Hanjun Water Village shouldn’t be so big in rainy days. If Zamptewarren could find that only the front row of warships in the military port’s berth, he would definitely react, but because the water village is so big. The area of ​​fire smoke is too thick.

When Katlukkap received the leading formation into the Han Army Water Village and did not encounter effective resistance, although he felt a little easy for the smooth development of the battle, he thought that the Gupta Dynasty was indeed powerful, and did not think in other directions.

Seeing that Katlukkap intends to let the entire fleet join the battle, Kapil Malik appropriately said: "It seems that the warships of the Han Empire cannot initiate effective resistance? Most of their warships are probably going out. Is it necessary to stay behind? What about the sudden return of the Han Empire warship that the warship prepared for going out?"

Katluk Karp also thought so just now. He believed that most of the warships of the Han Kingdom went out to carry out raids. They were not prepared for their surprise raids and lacked intelligence support. He said to Kapil Malik with appreciation. :"You are very good."

The so-called cautious sailing ship for thousands of years, any action involving military affairs can not be overstated. On the advice of Kapil Malik, Katluk Karp simply left the formation that Kapil Malik belongs to and ordered the regional ships. Participate in the battle.

Kapil Malik felt very depressed about being left, and regretted why he talked so much.

Maybe it's the beauty of heaven, but it's actually a fickle change of nature. Just when Katlukkap decided to break in and launch a landing operation, the rain stopped unexpectedly.

On the coastal line where the fighting took place, the facilities at the front of the water village were basically finished. There were wood drifting in the water everywhere, and there must be the bodies of dead soldiers. The most is the black smoke emitted from the burning, especially the burning of the arrow tower, which directly turns into a huge torch.

"The situation is not right!" Zampte Warren has penetrated deep enough into the Han army's water village. He finally found that the number of warships in the harbor was not right, and the resistance of the Han army was too small. In the end, he didn't see it at all. Organized resistance: "Can you observe the land?"

The battlefield is filled with smoke everywhere, and it is not that difficult to observe. There is too little useful intelligence gathered here, but it shows that the Han army is gathering forces on the land, which seems to be necessary. Block the landing.

Zampt Warren was able to remove some of his doubts after receiving the following intelligence: "The naval battles shown by the Han Empire in the past few months only relied on powerful weapons, and the tactics of war were not skillful at all. This confirmed the rumor that the Han Empire only had land. Rumors of strong combat capability."

Katlukkap, who had already led the large fleet in the approaching maneuver, received news from the rear. Previously, he sent the same number of battleships to battle with the Han army and the results have been achieved. He has been hit by three and seven ships. Lost in the gang jump battle, only five were evacuated.

"The Han Empire just sank two ships?" Katlukkap was very surprised by the news: "The other party has six ships parked in place, and the remaining seven are chasing us?"

Some of the six Han warships parked in place were due to water leaks, while others had to extinguish the fire during the fighting, so they were forced to stay in place for repairs. They were also doing the same as the Persian Sassanian boats to rescue people who fell into the water. Rescue.

Didn't Capir Malik stay? He was watching with his own eyes the only seven Han Chinese warships approaching him, and said to Dijean Marcour: "I really don't know if they should be stupid or brave? Do your best to achieve victory. I can explain it, but I still don’t know what I can to continue to charge."

Egutaibakhram also expressed the same emotion. The number of fifteen ships that attacked hundreds of ships earlier was enough to prove courage. There were only seven warships left but he did not give up the offensive. As a Persian, he More willing to evaluate the behavior of the warriors.

Kuslausorodyas stopped Eguthebahram’s willingness to fight alongside the warships of Han, and said with full regret: "Their warships are willing to fight, but the number is really too large. Less, obviously the Han Empire did not have enough strength on the sea. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

There are only fifteen battleships of the Han army that have appeared on the battlefield from beginning to end, and they can win the same number. However, the number of both sides is really huge, and the battle situation develops with the Han army water village. The breakthrough showed a one-sided trend, which really made the Persians who watched the battle have little confidence in the Han Navy.

"The homeland of the Han Empire is too far from here." Egutaibahram stared at the smoky coastline from a distance, and then at the gupta dynasty navy marching forward in vigorous formations: "If the Han Empire does not have enough warfare Boat, what's the use of holding land?"

On the land, Huanwen is on the top of a mountain, and as the rain stops, the battlefield can be seen in full view. He could even see his own only seven warships being surrounded by more than fifty ships of the Gupta Navy launching long-range assault weapons.

"Let the enemy land first." Huan Wen is in control of the entire battle. The loss of fifteen warships or even more to his side is actually within the scope of the loss. He raised his binoculars and looked towards the deep sea, and said calmly: "Let the beachhead troops do their best to resist and then retreat. If necessary, they can give up the second line of defense."

If the water village is gone, it can be rebuilt, and a limited amount of battle damage is within the acceptable range. What Huan Wen wants is to create an environment for destroying the enemy in World War I. All other things are secondary.
