Chapter 1,793: More Is Good, Big Is Beautiful

The history of the development of naval weapons is difficult to describe in one sentence. Things like rockets and racket sticks have slowly changed over the course of history, and the racket stick has disappeared.

Why is the racket stick missing?

Because the racquet stick only existed in the era of small boats. On a big ship, if you hit it with the racquet stick, the frame of the clapper board would collapse, which would be more severe than anything else.

The Great Ogres were very prominent at that time. Hundreds of years ago, they sent a powerful fleet to attack Byzantium, and Byzantine's navy was almost wiped out. As long as this place is captured, the door to the west will be opened.

What... Don't underestimate the Great Cannibals. They were powerful beings back then, but they were just too lucky to catch up with the good times.

So in many cases, if you want to do anything, you have to act according to God's eyes.

The cannibals obviously did not get the favor of God. Just when they were thinking triumphantly about the sour feeling after breaking the city, the remaining dozens of Byzantine warships appeared.

There are countless man-eating warships, so these dozens of warships can be said to be like ants.

But these warships used pipes to start spitting fire, and any warship that was touched would burn.

This flame could not be extinguished until the warship sank to the bottom of the sea.

This is the famous Greek fire. From that time to countless years later, it was a Byzantine artifact-like existence.

After the big eater suffered a loss and was deceived, he became more wary of firearms.

But the Song Dynasty's firearms were very inconspicuous at the beginning. They were gunpowder cans. They had good lethality in naval battles, but their accuracy was terrible. But when the gang war began, the gunpowder cans and kerosene bombs taught the cannibals a harsh lesson.

This reminded the generals of the scene hundreds of years ago.

"Greek Fire! Byzantium!"

After an exclamation, the generals looked solemn.

"That ship, it's coming!"

If the Song Dynasty's firearms reminded the Great Eaters of Greek fire, then the artillery ships were unparalleled.

Greek fire had to spit fire before it could be used, but the Song Dynasty's warship didn't spit fire. Isn't this more advanced than Greek fire?

The key is that the mysterious weapon of the Song Dynasty can not only kill people on the deck, but also smash the sails and sink the warship. This kind of multi-purpose skill can only be described as a magical weapon.

Wherever the ship passed, the decks of those large warships were either cleared, or were penetrated near the waterline, and then sank.

"Failed!"

The general waved his hands and said painfully: "Withdraw."

But it's too late.

The Song army threw all kinds of firearms desperately, their crossbows and arrows shot wildly, and their swords and axes cut blood everywhere.

The entire sea area has become a killing ground, with smoke and screams everywhere.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The faces of the generals were full of heartache.

The Great Flood Army was defeated by Byzantium hundreds of years ago. Will it happen again now?

A general murmured: "Yesterday, my son had a nightmare. He dreamed of having diarrhea... When he woke up, he had diarrhea all over the bed. What does this mean? A sudden diarrhea? Or is he completely defeated?"

The leading general wanted to kill this idiot who was shaking the morale of the army. "Quickly, pull back and let the archers at the dock gather to intercept the Song army!"

Ahead, the retreating Great Flood Army only had about thirty warships left.

"Where are the rest of the boats?"

The leading general stood on tiptoe to look and saw a thick smoke.

After the big eater received the order to retreat, he tried his best to escape.

But people in Song Dynasty threw kerosene bombs like they didn't want money.

Those warships were burning and there was no one on the deck. How could they escape?

"It's so rich!"

The Great Eaters have always been known for their wealth and wealth, but after encountering the Great Song Dynasty, they realized that they were among the poorest!

People are poor and have short ambitions, and horses are thin and hairy, but the Song army didn't even think about capturing the warship. Is this too much?

They set fire to all the enemy ships, and then proudly began to form a fleet.

"Force me!"

Chang Jianren put his hands on his clothes, and the general beside him forced a smile. During the fight just now, Chang Jianren tried to take off his clothes several times, but they held him back forcibly.

A person who was used to fighting with his upper body naked was now trapped, which made Chang Jianren even more angry.

The fleet began to gather together and headed straight for the dock.

"The Song people are coming!"

The escaping cannibal looked back, and couldn't help but feel the soul of the dead.

"Run, run from the edge!"

Those who still go to the dock at this time are fools. In a word, when the father and the mother are married, everyone takes care of themselves and is in charge of the life and death of the dock.

The remaining defeated generals ran away.

The soldiers who were preparing to meet them on the dock almost spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed loudly.

It's just that their scoldings were really lackluster. If it were the women in the market of Da Song Dynasty, Jubi could not repeat them for three days and three nights.

"Song Jun is here!"

At the dock, tens of thousands of cannibals began to prepare. The archers had prepared rockets and were waiting for the Song people to come up.

come!

Everyone is looking forward to it, and it is inseparable from the Wangfu Stone.

"Trebuchet..."

The warships would pick up their bows and arrows wherever they were, and they would line up outside the shooting range.

"put!"

Trebuchets began hurling firearms.

The warship is a small target at sea, and the warship is rocking, so the hit rate is very impressive. The wasted firearms can make the three divisions furious.

But with tens of thousands of cannibals on the pier, how big is this goal?

If the giant food warship on the sea is a basketball court, then the tens of thousands of people on the dock are the airport.

Facing such a big target and still failing to hit it, Chang Jianren could turn around and stuff them into the pocket of the trebuchet and launch them.

So when the firearms covered the front of the dock, the cannibal exploded.

It is common for those big cannibals to cry for their parents when they are bombed. The worst thing is when they are set on fire by kerosene bombs. The appearance reminds people of a barbecue.

"That's magic fire!"

someone was exclaiming.

The so-called magic fire is Greek fire. Hundreds of years ago, when fighting against the great water-drinking army, Byzantium's Greek fire was not extinguished by water and would still burn, so it was also called magic fire.

The Song Dynasty's kerosene bombs had this ability.

"Stop!"

The general who presided over the interception of the Song army was hit on the shoulder by debris from the gunpowder can, but he still raised his sword and shouted: "For the sake of the king, we will not retreat even one step!"

"For the king!"

Several civil servants who quietly evacuated behind were moved and fled faster.

Someone volunteered to die to stop the enemy for everyone. How loyal!

The civil servants ran away, no, they beat their horses and ran wildly.

"Crossbow arrows..."

The shouts of the Song Army came from behind, and then the sound of a crossbow firing was heard.

A civil servant looked back.

"Oh my God!"

Intense crossbow arrows plundered the dock, and countless giant cannibals fell down after being struck by arrows.

His exclamation made the civil servants turn around.

The dock had turned into a hell. The surviving archers fearlessly fired rockets, but they all fell into the water in front of the warship.

The range advantage of crossbows over bows made the Big Eater passively beaten.

The two were fighting, one was taller and the other had long hands, and every time he punched his opponent, his face was covered in blood. The opponent is not only short in stature, but also has short hands. No matter how hard he punches, he cannot hit the opponent.

How to fight this?

This is a losing battle!

"Get back!"

Some civil servants shouted unbearably, but were immediately carried away.

The big cannibals on the dock were not brave. They rushed to the edge, shot out the rockets in their hands, and then watched in despair as the rockets landed more than ten steps in front of the enemy ship.

That sharpshooter?

"Where's the sharpshooter?"

Of course one person is useless, but in times of despair, everyone needs someone to inspire confidence.

"I'm coming!"

The stocky archer came running from the side.

As soon as the warship carrying him docked, he was the first to rush over.

Warrior!

Everyone couldn't help but admire.

At this moment, they had retreated to the edge of the crossbow's range and were considered safe.

"Shoot an arrow!"

"We cannot retreat without a fight!"

The stocky archer nodded. He felt that the Song people would not cover the dock with crossbow arrows for their own sake.

"Go with confidence."

Two equally brave warriors came out, holding shields and preparing to cover him.

"Song people will not waste crossbows for three people, let's go."

This is the pride of the cannibal!

Three warriors went up.

The Archer lit the rocket, then took a deep breath and shouted, "For the King!"

"For the king!"

The archer stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, tilting it.

"Crossbow arrows..."

"put!"

Bang bang bang bang!

A dark cloud flew over.

Suddenly there was a forest on the dock.

The archer's body was filled with crossbow arrows. The two warriors carrying shields looked after themselves at the critical moment, but it was useless. The shields only blocked part of the body, and the rest of the body turned into a forest.

The last thought of the three people was that Song people were really rich.

"Run!"

The big eater all turned around and ran away.

Someone on the warship said: "Junhou, what a waste."

This wave of crossbow arrows wasted at least hundreds of arrows, and the target was only three people. It was not worth it!

Chang Jianren looked at his generals and asked: "When the army is fighting, what is the primary means of attack?"

"Crossbow, just three people are not worth it, right?"

"Wrong!" Chang Jianren said: "An army relies on momentum to fight. It must use strong numbers to overwhelm the enemy. Whether it is crossbows or anything else, more is good, and big is beautiful!"

Everyone was confused for a while and thought this was a great statement, but it was a bit weird.

"Marquis, who said this?"

Chang Jianren said: "Shen Long Tu."

That was a famous general of the Song Dynasty, and these generals were not qualified to question it.

"Look, this wave of crossbows seems to have been wasted in vain, but the enemy is afraid. They refused to disperse before, but now they have all run away." Chang Jianren praised: "More is better, big is beautiful, Shen Long Tu is indeed The means are superb.”

In another time and space, countless turret parties chanted slogans and had high morale.

Shen An is sick, and his condition is similar to that of most Chinese people.

That's underfire phobia.

This problem was brought over by him, so big bombism became his mantra.

If anything happens, just use crossbow arrows to cover them. Even if you can't kill them, you'll scare them to death!

So Chang Jianren put it into practice today, and it was indeed the case.

"Log in!"

He was thinking about Shen An, and he had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask him, such as how that kind of artillery warship would develop in the future.

He didn't know that in Shen An's mind, the future navy warships should be smoking. As for the artillery, Shen An's standard was big!

The bigger the better!

Caliber is justice!

…

Tomorrow, that is, after 24 o'clock tonight, the monthly ticket will be doubled.

In addition, it seems that starting from tomorrow, disciples of a book will be able to vote ten monthly votes for that book. There will be more leaders in the helmsman hall, and there is no upper limit for alliance leaders... I urge everyone to vote for the man, thank you.

Good night!
