Chapter 518: Huge Ship

"Roar, go!" More than a hundred jacking boats gathered on the coast near Dagukou.

They were like fish, passing through the waves, densely occupying the entire sea surface.

With the help of the sea breeze and the desperate paddling of the paddlers, these shuttle boats rushed towards the shore quickly.

Soon, these shuttle boats charged to the shore and then ran aground on the beach.

However, the soldiers on the boat were not worried at all, but instead jumped off the boat one by one, rushing towards the shore with deep and shallow steps, stepping deep and shallowly on the sea water and the sand on the shore.

As soon as they stepped onto the shore, the soldiers formed a small three-talent formation in units of three people, and then continued to charge.

The soldiers stranded on the boat also raised their bird guns and shot at the targets on the shore, killing sounds shook the sky.

"It's still not possible!" Seeing that the soldiers quickly seized the fortress on the shore, Zhao Lizi, who was standing on a high place to watch, couldn't help but shake his head and said.

"Ah? I think this is already good?" Tianjin General Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but say in surprise.

"How is this good?" Zhao Lizi pointed to the team and said, "First of all, we can't get it."

"As a naval combat surveyor, a cruise ship, the net shuttle ship has too deep draft and too few people."

"Not only it was stranded before it even approached the shore, it was easy to crash the ship, but it could only carry four people, and even one soldier could not carry."

"The training of all our soldiers is carried out with the army as the basic unit."

"Without Wu, everything will start from scratch. Now that the war in Dongjiang Town is about to begin, how can it be too late?"

"Look at these soldiers, after landing, the soldiers did not recognize the generals, the generals did not recognize the soldiers, and they were in chaos."

"If you encounter the elite soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, wouldn't you be beaten up in one fell swoop?"

"Uh... General Zhao, you are so strict in training!" Zhao Liangdong couldn't help laughing awkwardly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel gushing in his heart.

No wonder the Ming army could not defeat King Shun's soldiers. If the generals under King Shun were trained at this standard, I am afraid that the one or two thousand people under my command would be no different.

It turns out that most naval landing operations in this era choose to land in a place where no one is allowed, and then fight.

This is inconsistent with the forced landing combat method envisioned by Zhang Shun, so there are no suitable ships among the Tianjin Navy.

The only ships that can slightly meet this landing combat needs are the rushing ships and shuttle ships equipped by the Ming army.

Among them, the rushing boat is a large lucky boat, divided into two types, and can carry a load of between 1,500 and 1,000 stones.

The medium-sized rushing ship, also known as the rushing ship, was the basic form of the sea transport ship in the Ming Dynasty.

Now the rebels have finally established the Dongjiang and Tianjin routes, trade food and wood, and are also in short supply of ships to rush and foreign ships.

Therefore, after Zhao Lizi's repeated applications, two troop transport ships serving as naval marines were allocated.

The ship is shaped like a shuttle, with bamboo masts and wooden sails. It has a drift of only seven or eight inches deep, with three or four people in the contents, and is equipped with two or three bird guns. It is convenient to travel in the small port and narrow rivers. It can be dragged to the shore with two or three people. It was also recruited by Zhao Lizi as a landing ship.

However, this net shuttle is all good, but there is only one thing that is difficult to accommodate a group of people, which causes great trouble to Zhao Lizi's command and combat.

"This...why, after you apply to Zhang Zizhou, ask him to help you develop a warship specially used for landing, and return this shuttle ship to me first?" Zhao Liangdong pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but start another topic.

"What a joke? Not to mention that Zhang Zizhou is so busy that he can't do anything. Even if he is too busy, he will focus on rushing to make bird boats. How could he build this small boat for me?" Zhao Lizi shook his head and said.

"I understand it. If you want to complete this landing battle, you must have a flatbed!"

It turns out that although this jacking ship is small, it is still a pointed sea ship structure because it is to be used at sea.

Although this type of ship is conducive to the ability to travel at sea and inland rivers and lakes, it is easy to get stuck and is not conducive to landing operations.

"Flat boat? Isn't that a sand boat?" Zhao Liangdong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but flash his inspiration.

"Hey, don't say anything, the sand boat is really suitable!" Zhao Lizi couldn't help but slapped his thigh when he heard this and immediately reacted.

It turns out that this sand boat is a kind of sand-proof flat-bottom wooden boat used for navigation in ancient China. It has the characteristics of square head, square tip, flat bottom, and shallow draft. It has the advantage of being able to sit on the beach with a flat bottom, not afraid of stranding, and being less affected by the moisture.

"It's just... it's just that this sand boat cannot be far away!" Zhao Liangdong saw that Zhao Lizi took it seriously, and couldn't help but remind him quickly.

"I'm not afraid, I have a way!" Zhao Lizi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile.

"What's the solution?"

"Big boats carry small boats, eat boats in deep water, and release boats in shallow water!" Zhao Lizi pointed to the rushing boat on the sea.

It turns out that after this experiment, Zhao Lizi also had his own ideas.

These small boats used for landing are naturally difficult to cross the ocean. However, according to Zhang Shun's idea, it is impossible for the navy and marines to sway at their doorstep. What should I do?

Well, since the boat can carry people, it can carry ships naturally.

In this case, why not carry it on a large ship and cross the ocean?

As soon as Zhao Lizi said this, Zhao Liangdong couldn't help but lit up and couldn't help but praise: "Good idea, good idea!"

"Ship, ship, big ship!" Just as the two were talking, a soldier suddenly warned.

"Huh?" The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and quickly looked into the distance, and saw a mast on the ocean was exposed on the sea.

"Good guy, here's a big guy!" Zhao Liangdong had quite a sea experience. Seeing this, he was shocked and quickly ordered.

"The navy is preparing to go to sea to intercept it. As for land, I can only entrust General Xiao Zhao!"

Zhao Lizi experienced a naval battle for the first time and couldn't help but be both excited and nervous. He quickly ordered the soldiers to drag the net shuttle to the shore and ordered the other soldiers to line up.

When Zhao Lizi finished his work very easily, he looked up and saw that the big ship had already exposed most of the sea level. Zhao Liangdong also led a lucky ship, two Haicang ships, and four Cangshan ships to meet him.

However, when the two sides slowly approached and negotiated for a while, for some reason, they slowly drove towards the Dagukou port.

"General, the ship issued an order to remove the alert!" At this moment, the flag bearer reported to Zhao Lizihui.

"This... wait a little longer!" Zhao Lizi was meticulous, afraid that Zhao Liangdong would be scheming, so he did not dare to move lightly.

After finally waiting for a bunch of ships to approach, Zhao Lizi couldn't help but look shocked and couldn't speak for a long time.

Why do you think?

It turned out that the ship was an extremely huge ship, not only with many literary styles, but also with five masts and eight sails, spreading like bird wings.

The ship was more than twenty feet long in front and back, and the hull was as tall as a building. The mast on the ship was even taller, giving Zhao Lizi a great sense of oppression.

Although Zhao Lizi has lived on the bank of the Yellow River for many years, he has never seen such a huge ship before and has not come back to his senses for a while.

After finally regaining his mind, Zhao Lizi looked at it carefully before breathing a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Zhao Lizi was shocked, but he also discovered that although this giant ship was extremely large and luxurious, it had its main mast broken and its firepower was not very strong. Judging from the muzzle exposed on the side, it was only equipped with a dozen thousand-pound Franchise.

Of course, the most important thing is that such a huge ship is not protected by other ships.

If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, Zhao Lizi will be confident that he will climb forward with his soldiers and capture the ship.

Just as Zhao Lizi was thinking about himself in his mind, the giant ship had already been anchored in the port.

Soon, Tianjin General Zhao Liangdong got off the Fuchuan warship and immediately led a group of people to come.

"This is..." Zhao Lizi looked at Zhao Liangdong with a puzzled look and asked.

"I didn't expect that this is the Fengzhou giant ship that Your Highness would be transferred back from Fujian a few days ago!" Zhao Liangdong also looked up and down at Fengzhou with a shocked look on his face, and couldn't help but explain to Zhao Lizi.
