Chapter 288 The Bride in the Sea of Yarria
"Which way do you say they will go?" Garris had his own military conference, and Saladin also had his own military conference. At his military conference, he was a powerful Emir and his own confidence.
The map in front of Saladin is not as precise as Garris, but anyway, the rivers and mountains and mountains that should be marked.
Just like Garris and they will consider logistics, supplies, and diet when they formulate military programs.
When Saladin received the news of the Grand Army of the Jerusalem, he realized that the war was coming.
From Tir to Jerusalem, there is a straight line distance of 1.60 kilometers. On the open land of Palestine, there seems to be no levels that can barely bump.
But that is the idea that there is no conspiracy.
"Victory or defeat is determined by Allah, but it also depends on the preparation of war, troops, the health of soldiers, and clean drinking water. In this strong sun in summer, the problems brought by drinking water are more serious. Get enough drinking water on the road, in fact, there are only two roads that allow them to come to Jerusalem. "
Say Saladin pointed to the Jordan River on the map and the coast.
"March from the Jordan River, naturally there is no need to worry about drinking water, but from the coast, the Venetian fleet can make up for the supplies that consume it from time to time. If you are the commander of the Frank, you are going to be in these two roads. Which one is selected "
At his military conference, Saladin asked his subordinates that he actually answered himself, but it was indispensable for the benefit of thinking. This is an important reason why he can stand out in a group of Saraon warlords.
"If the Jordan River? Jordan River, getting drinking water is actually more convenient and safe than through shipping, and they can meet with the Frank people in the area of Jordan. By then, they would have more army to fight."
A Turkic Emir said his point of view,
Hearing this answer, Saladin was a bit satisfied, but did not make a clear evaluation. At this time, Adil said: "They will march along the coastline."
"Why?"
"Villages in the Palestinian area have been severely plundered by our tribes. And we can also build a strong wall to clear the wild in the area near the Jordan River and create a large uninhabited area to increase this trend. The output cannot maintain long -term operations of tens of thousands of troops. "
When he heard such a reply, Saladin agreed that his brother said that he was well -founded. He not only considered the enemy's action, but also pushed the other party what he would do from his own response.
What Adir wants to say is not over yet.
"And if they choose to march along the coast, it is actually our opportunity."
"What to say?"
"If we can't win on the land, then at least have the opportunity to be able to call on the sea."
Egypt under the rule of the Ayub dynasty accumulated a huge paddle sailing fleet under the governance of Adil.
...
The Navy of the Kingdom of Jerusalem really has no sense of existence. Even the ship was replaced with the Venetian not long ago. After such a long time, compared with the booming army, the navy was a rowing paddle hand. together.
Even if the navy's allowance is higher than 50%of the Army, there are only a thousand people in the full calculation so far,
The 30 -meter -long paddle sailing boat requires at least 90 people to row paddles, and 160 people with a 40 -meter -long paddle boat start. If other people on board and rotate paddlers, then this number can still be doubled. In order to play a complete combat effectiveness.
In other words, the scale of 1,000 navy is just filled with 5 large paddle sailing boats.
On weekdays, the main task of this navy is naturally not to stop roads, but it is impossible to train on the shore every day.
In the end, the launch of the merchant ship was worked. At a route of a route such as Cyprus, Lataki Harbor, and Haifa Port. While sending newspapers for Detir's newspaper, they often used to earn some fast subsidies to subsidize their homes.
However, there is another advantage of doing this, that is, from Cyprus to the route of Haifa Port, there is a normalized escort navy.
这个年头的桨帆船，基本上就等于军舰，40米长的旗舰，虽然不是最大号的那种，但也已经相当庞大了，要知道当初麦哲伦环游世界唯一成功的那条船，也不过是The Karak sailing boat from 18 to 21 meters, about 55 crew members.
Generally, as long as the brain is not sick, when you see such a large paddle boat, you will not think about it. Even if you see the 30 -meter -long system ship, the pirates will go around when they see it. It's better to do less.
The sunlight of the Mediterranean was sprinkled on the blue sea surface, and the breeze brushed lightly, setting off the sparkling ripples.
On the Zhonghai bathtub in this place, the navy of the kingdom, as expected by Adir, patrolled on the coast of Li Fante.
However, the fleet led by Watt now is not to confront the pirates, but to face the Egyptian fleet of the Ayubu dynasty. Well, after all, this is their first war.
Even Water himself was a little bit embarrassed.
However, the Venetian liaison officer sitting on the side of Watt was extremely relaxed. From time to time, it was very pleasant to eat hard sugar and fruits produced by Tur.
"You are not in a hurry at all, don't worry about the battle that may face next?"
Water was a bit helpless and asked to the other Arnold beside him.
"What are you worried about?"
Looking at the endless sea, Arnote yawned.
"The Army of the Satraon people was a waste later, and their naval was inherently waste."
"I admit that they are good at business, but the ocean is a beast that doesn't know how to tame."
Starting from the first Crusades, the East Mediterranean is like a back garden for the European Christian world.
Basically, it is a place where you want to come and go. When you meet the Muslim Navy, you can seize the new ship when you go to fight. That is, in recent years, Saladin has governed Egypt a good governance, and has built a system of systems that have made the Christian world jealous, but it is only jealous.
"They regard the sea as their own enemies and think about the sea war with tactical tactics on land.
The bride of the Adrite Sea is a ritual, and it is also a nickname for Venice. When this ritual is not available from when it starts, it should be around 1,000 AD. Under the leadership of the II Olcelo conquered Dal Martia.
And 23 years ago, in 1176 AD, the Pope Alexander III proved the existence of this ritual. He fell behind in the war with Barbarosa. Gold ring.
Said him: "My son, Governor of Venice, this is your marriage ring, marry the sea. From now on, we hope that you and your successor will marry her every year."
Every year, Christ ascending the sky, the fourth day of Jesus' ascending heaven, the Governor of Venice will board a huge paddle sailing boat, wearing a brocade cloak made of mink, wearing the duke horns (one top (one top, a top Exquisite linen hat) holding a scepter.
Governor of Venice sat at the stern, the right side of the Pope, the French ambassador on the left, and members of the Venice Senate occupied four seats.
When the ship sailed out of Venice, the Master of Venice boarded the ship to bless the wedding, and then the governor threw the ring into the sea.
"Ocean, we support you, this will be an oath of eternal rule."
When this paddle sailing boat returns to Venice, it will welcome them to a feast famous for its glory and wealth, and a large -scale rally held in San Marco Square.
Arnot naturally participated in such a festival celebration. When he described the feelings of the Venetian and the sea in a nostalgic tone, it was impossible to immerse themselves.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
"I will have a chance to see it."
And just when they chatted, someone suddenly called out: "General Water! Discover the enemy ship!"
Water hurriedly took Arnote to the bow, where the captain of the ship was holding a single binstrace and stared at the south of the south.
"The tightness of the 01-50 west of the south, and the enemy fleet was found at about 2 liges from the distance of 2 liges. The number of enemy ships has been clearly driving from south to north. Battle. After the enemy's earlier 25 minutes, the identity of our army was clear.
As a more fine unit, the secret position can provide a better reference on a large scale. For example, when the artillery intends to shoot the target of 50 meters on the right of the right side of 1,800 meters, you will calculate the 00-28 secret position to the right. This is equivalent to 1.28 °, and 1.28 ° This statement is very troublesome to adjust the angle of artillery.
This system of systematic knowledge is exactly what is lacking in this era.
And these knowledge can not only give artillery, but also bring advantages during naval battles.
Annut on the side was extremely surprised after hearing it, because the professional literacy revealed by the captain was surprised.
And when Arnold took over the captain's telescope, he saw the enemy fleet under his guidance, and then put down the telescope and turned out nothing.
It was even more shocked by heaven. Obviously, the stuff he held in his hands would change the naval battle.
This is half of the time in advance to identify the enemy!
At this time, Water also said to the signs on the side: "Send a signal to other ships, we go around the sea and inform them that the enemy fleet is discovered."
As the Venetian, Arnold did not question the order of Water. Obviously, he also knew that when he found an enemy ship, he to control the wide sea of sea was more advantageous than the coastal battle.
Through the Venice's signal transmission system, he ordered the order to other ships and asked them to follow the flagship operation.
It's just that the Venetian people are more primitive than the kingdom navy, and they cannot explain what their flagship has found.
When the command was passed, and the entire fleet was leaving the coastline to the outside sea under the leadership of the flagship, Watt ordered the map to calculate the position of the two parties on the map, and then calculated the data of the relative motion.
"Arnold, we will observe the opponent's fleet in the outside world, calculate their accurate speed of the speed, and then calculate the timing of the attack and cut them directly. This naval battle, we are divided into two teams, one is your Venetian, one is your Venetian. One is our Jerusalem. "
"When attacking, the five ships in Jerusalem walked in front, slowing down at a distance of about 500 steps from them, firing them at them, disrupted their deployment and formation.
"When your Venetian fleet is closer to them, it will accelerate more than five vessels, hit the corner directly, and fired at the distance of the face. Then fight, you decide yourself."
There are a large number of paddles on both sides of the paddle sailing, which is difficult to arrange for artillery. Therefore, unlike the sailing battleship, the artillery of the paddle sailing is generally concentrated on the bow or tail. The favorable shooting position of the war is not the top of the T -shaped shape, but a vertical below.
However, it is a very dangerous thing for the battle of artillery to grab a profitable location. For this year's paddle sailing battle, it is a very dangerous thing.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the shelling, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the boat, and in the naval battle, the speed can be said to be the fatal factor of victory.
The sail battle ship can teach those enemy ships that are closely close to by dozens of artillery.
Therefore, it is impossible for all paddle sailing boats to fight. Although the Venetian has artillery, they do not have many training. On those ships, there are only some army artillery of the Jerusalem kingdom.
Instead of letting all paddle sailing boats participate in the shelling, it is better to let the kingdom navy fight first, and fight in the past, so that the Venetian can exert their experience advantages of long -awaited experience.
...
The Arabs set foot in the history of the ocean, which is much later than they conquer the earth. The long -term political crushing pattern is reflected in the ocean, causing strange results.
While the Arabs have developed marine trade, they cannot maintain a long and solid navy.
This means that the navy inheritance in the Muslim world is interrupted daily. The tradition accumulated by the ancestors often disappears without a trace with a political turmoil, and in the end, he has to touch the stone to cross the river again.
When they do not understand how to fight naval battles, they often use the way of fighting on land to understand naval battles, and often make some things that laugh, such as trying to use paddle sailing boats on the sea ...
