Chapter 4847 Invincible in Naval Battle
"King Wei" is a derivative of the "Royal Princess" series. It is the same level but has also made many improvements on the original basis. The hull structure is stronger and can be equipped with more artillery. The melee racket can be made of metal and gears. Composition, higher wear resistance, heavier, more powerful strike force, more convenient operation...
The "King of Wei", which is stationed in Da Nang all year round to deter Nanyang, is a giant on the sea. It is worthy of being the "number one in the world" in both long-distance and close combat. It has the ability to crush ships from all over the world across dimensions. , has already exceeded the limit that can be defeated by numbers.
When he went into a naval battle with full soldiers, normal weather, and sufficient weapons, there was only one word to describe its combat effectiveness - crushing.
If there is another word, it is "invincible".
Abu Awal's tactic of tying up the ships with chains and charging to death could theoretically achieve its strategic purpose - they would not be overwhelmed by the faster Tang war ships. More than sixty ships and four The huge "ship formation" composed of more than a thousand sailors ran rampant and was irresistible. They rushed directly into the opponent's battle formation to destroy the flagship and destroy the command center, turning the tide of the battle and turning defeat into victory.
But in front of the "King of Wei", all this is like a mayfly shaking a tree or a mantis acting like a chariot. Abu Awar's self-conceited "using more to overwhelm the few" and partially "using more to create fewer" are just idiotic dreams...
The "King of Wei" used the bow rod to smash the surrounding enemy ships into pieces, broke through the "ship formation" and entered the formation. Then the windows on both sides of the ship were opened up and down, and more than a hundred artillery pieces fired freely without targets. , the roar of cannons was earth-shattering, and a large sheet of smoke enveloped the "King of Wei". From a distance, the huge hull was hidden in the smoke and darkness, constantly spitting out flames and smoke, looking like a demon and indestructible.
When they got deep into the "ship formation", the racket poles on both sides of the ship and the stern of the ship were all put into battle. Four huge racket poles were controlled by the soldiers one after another. Each time they fell, they hit the enemy ship with wood chips flying everywhere.
The soldiers stood on both sides of the ship with muskets and kept firing from a high position. With the banging gunshots, rumbling cannons, flames from the muzzles, and rising smoke, the "King of Wei" was like a fire-breathing vessel. The monsters are rampant and invincible.
All the sailors of the Great Food Country have been stunned. Is this a scene that can happen in the human world? The demon god who is simply hell came to the world from the Nine Netherworld, bringing only death, blood, brokenness, and sinking...
No one continued to row, and all the sailors were frightened. They jumped into the water from the warships and swam towards the port. The huge "ship array" remained motionless, allowing the "King of Wei" to break through the array and penetrate deep into it. Indestructible and unstoppable.
Obaid led his people to follow behind the "King of Wei" and kept jumping out of the ship and attacking. After annihilating the enemy on one ship, he continued to jump out of the ship and attack. Facing the frightened Dashi sailors who had no intention of fighting, they were invincible, but the attack The speed is limited, because if you are too far away, you accidentally enter the attack range of the "King of Wei" artillery. If you are too close, there is a risk of being accidentally injured by the musket, so you can only keep a distance that is neither too far nor too close. Slow down. Move forward slowly.
"I just killed two enemies in a row. Did the captain write it down for me?"
"I am the first to board this enemy ship. Can it be counted as first boarding?"
The captain was a little impatient: "When the Tang army was fighting, few people counted such small contributions. What's the point of giving an extra three or two hundred copper coins per head? But if the ship in front can be captured and captured alive, That person with the axe, I will not only give you ten times the credit, but I will also personally go to the general to ask for your credit!”
"Huh?!"
The eyes of the soldiers of the Azid tribe lit up, and they all looked forward. They saw that the soldiers on a warship, instead of jumping into the sea and escaping like the others, fought back and forth with the besieging Tang army. The armor held a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. He was very brave and forced back the Tang army who tried to board the ship several times.
"This is Ibn Attat!"
Obaid recognized at a glance that this was a general under Abu Awal, and said excitedly: "This man's name is Ibn Atat, and his status in Shirov Port is only second to Abu Awal's!"< br>
The captain was also very excited: "Do you dare to rush forward and capture this person?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Although this guy is brave, I'm not afraid!"
"Well, the credit goes to us!"
The captain rushed forward with the Azid tribe, and when he got close, he shouted: "Brothers, this ship belongs to us, you can go elsewhere!"
The besieging Tang army was dissatisfied: "This is a big fish, why should I give it to you?"
The captain smiled and said: "Brothers are assigned to the Azid tribe. This is their first time fighting with the army. They only caught some small fish and shrimps. They are really worthless. The general has the skills to take care of them. How about giving this credit to them?" ”
The besieging Tang troops looked at each other and said nothing. Someone shouted and they all withdrew and went elsewhere...
There was a military order before the war that the local natives who had attached themselves to fight with the army. Under appropriate circumstances, some hard-to-gnaw bones could be given away, and some credit could be given to these natives so that they could get sweet rewards and make them more willing to fight with the Tang army.
Therefore, although Tang Jun was not willing to accept a big fish, he had to give up this credit.
The captain turned to Obeid and said: "This is the Tang army's military exploits, but they are willing to give it to you, so you must bite it off, otherwise you will be laughed at by the Tang army!"
Obaid's pressure increased sharply, but he was not afraid: "Captain, please don't worry, even if all Azid's soldiers die on this ship, we will bring this ship down!"
"People, this is a feat given to us by the Tang Army. Tell me if we can defeat it?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Although these tribal warriors have never seen much of the world and have little culture, they have grown up in an environment where the weak and the strong eat the fittest. The competition is extremely fierce. Especially since the war started, smooth sailing has given rise to endless confidence. How can they embarrass themselves in front of the Tang army? ?
"Follow me!"
Obaid took the lead, holding a horizontal sword and a shield and leaping onto the enemy ship in one run. The giant shield blocked several incoming scimitars. He waved the horizontal sword to force the enemy back and create an open space on the deck. , the tribesmen behind him jumped on the boat one after another under his cover and launched an attack.
……
Ibn Atat was very angry. He came from a noble family and had fought since he was a child. He had witnessed dozens of large and small battles. Although he had won and lost, he had never encountered such a crushing battle. Although the navy of the great food country had ship technology, weapons and equipment, They are not as good as the Tang navy, but after all, they have the advantage of occupying the home field. The number of soldiers and warships far exceeds that of the opponent. Even if they cannot win, they can rely on Shirov Port to remain invincible, and then negotiate with the Tang people.
But who would have thought that the power of Tang army's firearms could be so devastating?
The cannonballs falling from the sky have never been seen even in the most terrifying nightmares of the cannibals. They were bombarded to pieces by artillery before they took over, and they were frightened. Countless warships were smashed through the decks and sides of the ships by the cannonballs, resulting in The hull leaked and sank. Some of the shells exploded, and the flying shrapnel and kerosene cut everything into pieces and ignited. The fire was raging and black smoke could not be extinguished even by sea water, and it suddenly fell into a terrifying hell.
How to fight this battle?
Not to mention winning, you can't run away even if you want to.
This "iron chain conjoined" tactic was not only useless when facing the invincible warship of the Tang Dynasty, but also made the disadvantages appear to the maximum extent - more than 60 warships are connected, advancing and retreating as one, who wants to move forward alone? No one can retreat if they want to.
The Tang army's rockets ignited the entire "ship formation" overwhelmingly. There were blazing fires and hissing screams everywhere. The rockets finally stopped, and the densely packed Tang army pounced on them again. Ibn Atat stood on the side of the ship holding a shield and a tomahawk and kept repelling the Tang army. He was brave and unparalleled, but this was not his original intention. He just wanted to run but couldn't.
As a descendant of the Iben family, although he cannot escape, he must not become a prisoner either.
Hearing what the Tang troops under the boat were shouting, the pressure in front of them suddenly relaxed, and the Tang troops who were about to board the boat receded like the tide. When Ibn Atat was at a loss, another person came from the warship on the side. Leap over and jump onto the deck.
Listening to the other party's shouts and shouts, Ibn Atat suddenly understood. He was furious and slashed an enemy who had just jumped on the boat with an ax. Be an enemy of the Caliphate and fight against the whole Are you an enemy of a big food country? Not only did you lease land to the Tang Dynasty to have a stronghold in the Persian Gulf to station the navy, but you are now colluding with them. Do you really want to be the lackey of the Tang Dynasty? "
"Bah!"
Obaid rushed forward and slashed with his knife, cursing: "We followed the Tang people and were treated like dogs. The Tang people would even throw us a bone, but when we were enslaved by your cannibals, we were not even as good as dogs! You don’t care whether we live or die, you will only force us to do the most cruel labor, and after we die, you will use our bones and flesh to pad the roadbed! If the Tang people are man-eating tigers, then you are blood-sucking demons!”
There was a muffled sound of "poof". Ibn Atat raised his shield to block the knife, but the blade sank into the wooden shield wrapped with iron. Ibn Atat was startled. Obaid slashed with the knife again, and Ibn Atat was stunned. Atat blocked again, and after three strikes, the wooden shield was broken open and cut in half with one strike.
The big eater's wooden shield wrapped in iron sheet could not withstand the sharpness of the Tang army's standard horizontal sword. The sword broke through the shield and went straight to Ibn Atat's shield-holding wrist, scaring him into hastily throwing away the broken shield. He took two steps back, then became ferocious and swung the battle ax at Obaid's head without hesitation.
The sound of the battle ax piercing the air roared. Obaid gritted his teeth and quickly raised his shield to block his head. He held the knife in his right hand and slashed at Ibn Atat's lower body. (End of chapter)
