Chapter 812: Big Killer
Qin Lang has been standing on the deck to watch the battle, saying that he will not interfere with the command, so he will never intervene.
The fleets of the two sides were chasing each other back and forth in the strait. Although it had only been more than half an hour since they had just exchanged hands, the blood of the people watching was still very high.
Naval warfare is very different from land warfare.
Niu Jianhu didn't use the big killer weapons of the navy, such as fierce fire oil tank, fire dragon out of water, general magic machine, and general cannon.
Just firmly seize the upper hand, constantly use the advantage of the upper hand, keep the distance, and attack the enemy ships with bows and arrows.
Arrows come and go.
But it is obvious that the Tang army has a big advantage, and the bearded men on the eagle boat suffered a lot of casualties.
After nearly an hour of dog-walking confrontation, the Guangming Church also knew that it would bleed to death if it continued like this, so it began to rush forward at all costs.
Niu Jianhu looked at the sky and did not back away.
The two fleets collided like this.
However, Qin Lang carefully discovered that even if they collided like this, the Tang Army's navy is quite particular. For example, those battleships still maintain the battle group mode, and there are warships and walkers around each big battleship. , Speedboats, etc. guard the periphery.
It will not prevent the lone ship from being besieged.
Don't worry about being attacked by the enemy with small boats.
Close combat on board is the cruelest.
It is also the place where the warriors' bravery is most reflected.
In the cabin, teams of marines had already put on their armor and equipment, sitting there with their weapons in hand, waiting for orders.
When an order was given, the hatch opened.
Under the leadership of their respective team leaders and fire chiefs, the soldiers got out of the cabin with a murderous look.
There was a hissing sound.
Arrows and swords.
The knife is sharp.
Qin Lang and others were invited to the stern tower to prevent Liu Ya and others from accidentally injuring them.
Just played against each other.
Tang Jun's strong bows and crossbows severely taught the bearded men to be human. Although the sailors and assassins on these armed merchant ships were very sturdy, they were all light.
Short knives, short axes, light armor or even no armor, which was light and combative in the past, but at this time, they encountered a Datang Marine Corps, which is an iron armored warrior.
They were originally born for land warfare and belonged to the navy. In fact, their combat thinking is still the idea that land warfare is king. It was not designed for combat on board.
So their equipment is the same as the general Tang army? There is no armor reduction or modification of equipment.
When they rushed out of the cabin wearing iron armor, they formed a square formation on the deck.
Raise the shield wall? Set up a spear array? Then when the crossbowman holds the crossbow and shoots it non-stop, that powerful firepower? Coupled with the iron turtle-like defense, even those who are barefoot? The bearded sailors who jumped over with a short knife on their shoulders were dumbfounded.
How can the boarding battle be fought like this?
The space on the boat is small, and there is a lot of shaking. It is inconvenient to jump around in iron armor, and it is not easy to use long weapons, let alone wear such a heavy armor. Once it falls into the water, it will sink to the bottom of the sea and never return.
But that's exactly how Tang Jun greeted them.
A piece of crossbow shot? In an instant, the dozen or so bearded men who jumped over were shot into hedgehogs.
One after another.
In a short time, after a few waves of arrow rain, those bearded people who rushed over screaming have all lay down.
"Why are there so many armored soldiers on the Tang ship?"
The bearded men on the opposing ship were also dumbfounded.
"Their ships are very special. Although they are not tall, they are very narrow and long? The forecastle is canceled and the poop is used instead? This ship has multiple decks, many masts and many sails? It is fast and has a strong wind? Can hold a lot of soldiers? The wide deck is also suitable for array operations.”
The bearded captain listened? I just want to scold, when did Datang have such a professional navy?
This is very different from the Tang Renhai ships usually seen in the South China Sea.
Since the opponent is so powerful, why didn't he take over and fight with a hammer just now after running away for a long time?
"Previously they estimated that they were deliberately exhausting us, and taking advantage of the advantages of seizing the upper hand and excellent bows and crossbows to deliberately consume our soldiers. We have lost a lot of bows and arrows and consumed a lot of physical strength. Now if we want to retreat, we can't escape. "A bearded man exclaimed.
It's a conspiracy.
All the bearded people were there in fear.
But the boats have already collided, and there is no chance to break away at this time, it is either win or die!
Although the Damascus steel knife is sharp, it can't defeat the rainy bows, the forest of spears, and the thick armor.
"careful!"
Suddenly, an iron crossbow as thick as an egg struck, instantly piercing through several light warriors rushing up to raise their shields to guard, and strung them into a string of human gourds and nailed them to the deck.
The bearded beards who escaped the catastrophe were sweating from fright.
They were horrified to find that on the opposite big ship, tall and big racket sticks were raised one after another, and they were raised and lowered continuously, hitting their ship hard.
The huge racket rod is carrying strong winds, and the eagle boat is constantly shaking. If you are not careful, the people on board will be photographed into meat sauce.
"General, our boat is leaking, someone is digging the boat underwater."
Someone hurriedly reported that the bull sees the tiger.
"Damn it, you're playing dirty. Fortunately, our ship is a watertight cabin." Niu Jianhu was taken aback, "Immediately send the water ghost team with a harpoon to shoot all those bastards at me. Dare to chisel me!" Boat, tired of work."
Niu Jianhu was also a little impatient.
Even if there is a watertight cabin, it is not afraid of breaking one or two places, but it will be troublesome to repair. If a few more places are broken, it will sink.
"Speed up, invite General Shenji out, blast his mother, kill the enemy ship, and finish the battle quickly!"
"General, didn't you say that you don't need a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?"
Niu Jianhu glared at him, "Go away!"
······
There was a loud bang.
A tiger crouching machine gun fired, and hundreds of large and small iron ball bullets sprayed out from the barrel, and all of them were sprayed down at once.
Then another shot rang out.
The side of the ship was instantly empty.
The Tang army marines carried the bridge deck onto the side of the enemy ship, and took the opportunity to rush over.
"What's that?"
A bearded man with a gray beard on the enemy's flagship asked in surprise, this is one of the five major protection methods of the Guangming Sect. He was originally in charge of the Funan area in Linyi. , was originally going to bloodbath the city of Guangzhou.
Later, when he heard that Qin Lang left Guangzhou and went south, he laid an ambush near the Strait.
"This... is amazing!"
A group of bearded beards were shocked and sprayed a large area.
This thing is much better than the Greek fire of the legendary Roman Empire.
The naval fleet of the Greek Empire, relying on the exclusive secret weapon of Greek fire that can breathe fire, has always dominated the sea. Persia and Rome fought for hundreds of years. Every time Persia attacked at sea, it was defeated by this weapon, but no one was able to do so. Know what that is.
Now there is such a miraculous secret weapon in Tang Dynasty in the east. It makes a loud noise like thunder and shoots out flames, but it doesn't use fire to kill.
I haven't seen the specifics clearly, but the lethality is no worse than the Greek fire.
One after another, the magic guns roared, and the marines used these artillery to blast the defense of the enemy ship, and took advantage of the situation to kill the enemy ship.
With a strong bow and crossbow, a strong helmet and thick armor, and a sharp Tang knife, he killed all the way.
"The battle is over."
Seeing this, Qin Lang couldn't help sighing twice.
As for those members of the four major families of Feng Ning, Chen Xian, they were all on the spot in a daze.
They haven't recovered from the shock yet.
"Wei Gong, what kind of magic weapon is that?"
Qin Lang smiled.
"Little thing, the imperial court has artifacts that are a hundred times more powerful than this, and there is also an elite forbidden army that specializes in manipulating these artifacts, called the Left and Right God Machine Army."
"One cannon can smash a fighting ship, and it can also overturn a section of the city wall. You know that I used a thousand men to capture Beisha, a city in Liaodong, ten miles away? At that time, I just blasted Beisha city with one cannon. !"
There was an incredible look in everyone's eyes.
The imperial court actually has such a big killer?
But thinking about the advanced battleship they were on now, and the sharp attack they had just witnessed, they were dubious, and became more and more awed by the court.
In fact, there is no suspense in the next battle.
Although the South China Sea Fleet has a total of 4,000 people, but this time there are still many soldiers on board. At this time, the gang fights began.
Many bearded people wanted to escape.
But I can't run away.
Some people desperately set fire to the boat, and even wanted to burn the Tang boat as well.
But at this time, it is difficult to even burn the ship.
Niu Jianhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for being able to capture these ships, capture those people, and even take a fancy to the goods on board, he wouldn't have to work so hard, causing a lot of casualties.
Although the process has some twists and turns, the result is always good.
There will always be casualties in the battle, and Niu Jianhu thinks it is worthwhile to pay some casualties and win these ships.
The sun was setting.
There are many broken wooden ship boards floating in the strait, and the blood attracts countless sharks.
The Tang army was cleaning the battlefield, and the bearded ships had basically been seized and controlled, only a few were burned or scuttled by them.
"Throw all those seriously injured into the sea!"
The body was stripped and thrown into the sea, which made the sharks more active. The wounded captives were also being screened out at this time. Those who were a little bit serious or disabled were considered worthless, and they were stripped naked and thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
"I don't have so many medicines to treat them!"
The cabin is narrow, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine at sea, the seriously injured are difficult to treat, and it is easy to cause some diseases to spread, so they are simply thrown away. This is very similar to the way of slave ships at sea. Those slaves who are sick are sometimes thrown directly into the sea. so as not to infect other slaves.
"Sanlang, the seizure is not bad, more than a hundred boats." Niu Jianhu reported with some pride.
Qin Lang just snorted, "There wouldn't have been so many casualties in the first place, but your greed has caused Bai to increase many casualties. In future wars, you must not do this. Remember, a lion must fight a rabbit with all its strength. You fight Before you fight, you treat the enemy ships, enemies, and enemies as your trophies. If you are not willing to fight, then you are not willing to bomb, it is really wrong to be so cautious!"
"There must always be casualties in war." Niu Jianhu said.
"Bastard, of course there are casualties in war, but their sacrifices are not worth it. If you need money, I will get it for you. If you need a ship, I can get it for you. A brave and loyal soldier is very rare. Soldiers, but you can't sacrifice soldiers needlessly, remember."
"Send someone to interrogate those guys quickly. I want to know where they come from and what lairs they have. If they dare to attack me, I will definitely take revenge one by one."
"The fleet will temporarily go to Lingao, Yazhou, Hainan Island, and enter the port to rest. Throw these prisoners to Lingao for custody, and deal with them later." Qin Lang ordered.
