Chapter 162 A naval battle with zero losses

Xu Fu's reaction did not exceed Zhao Si's expectations.

Before leaving for the banquet, Zhao Si carefully analyzed Xu Fu's possible reactions.

Either run or fight.

Without the third possibility, it was impossible for Xu Fu to surrender, and it was impossible for Da Qin to accept Xu Fu's surrender.

The current situation is not unexpected, and of course, it is very simple to deal with it.

"Then...just follow the plan." Jing smiled and motioned for the fleet to move closer to the shore.

"sail!"

Jing gave the order, and twenty ships set off and approached the port.

As the Qin warships approached, there was obvious commotion on the shore.

At present, Xu Fu's military strength is relatively mixed. Although Xu Fu calls himself emperor, he is not a real emperor.

Today's Fusang is jointly ruled by Xu Fu and the stranded Qin people. Xu Fu is the largest noble, the other stranded Qin people are the foundation of the rule, and the Fusang natives are at the bottom.

Xu Fu has the most weapons and wealth. Although he used coercion and inducement to scare most people in the palace, but!

That’s Da Qin!

When Da Qin's warships began to approach, not to mention the group of old Qin people, even Xu Fu himself panicked.

Even if there are only twenty warships and one or two thousand men.

Even now Xu Fu has hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of troops.

But everyone knows that the other party represents Da Qin. What kind of country is that?

It was a country that could raise millions of troops at will. It was a country that built hundreds of giant ships just to seek longevity medicine. The number of people who died in the process of that horrible country's domination of the world was even greater than the entire population of Fuso.

It all adds up to more.

They were born in the Central Plains, and even if ten years have passed, they still cannot forget that terrifying country and king.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The ships had just started sailing and the battle flags had just waved. The "civil and military officials" under Xu Fu's rule had already begun to become timid.

Everyone knows how powerful their opponents are. Opponents? Can they really be called opponents?

No matter what the image of the First Emperor is, no matter how much the remnants of the Six Kingdoms smear him, they will only make a fuss out of the First Emperor's cruelty, not his weakness.

Everyone knew that the First Emperor's will could not be shaken.

When the Great Qin warships lay across here, the First Emperor's will had arrived, and everyone knew what it meant to reject the First Emperor's will.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... King Qin is cruel... We wait... I can't wait to go elsewhere and make other plans..."

The war has not yet started, but the "civil and military officials" under Xu Fu's rule have already begun to consider running away.

"Transfer? Where to transfer? How to transfer?" Xu Fu's rhetorical question made "all civil and military officials" hesitate.

Yes... ever since Zhao Si took the ship and went to sea, the ship was dismantled by Xu Fu to build houses.

Now, what should we run for? Canoes and wooden boats? Where can we run in the vast sea?

Da Qin's twenty warships are still lying across the sea.

Da Qin's warships continued to move... while slowly approaching the port.

Xu Fu's men moved!

They are Fusang natives!

The bravery of the Fusang natives is worthy of recognition. They don't understand what Da Qin represents. They only know that there are only these twenty warships and one or two thousand people on the sea. They are outnumbered.

Ignorance... sometimes is also a kind of courage.

Although the natives used soft bows, their arrows could shoot farther than those of Xu Fu's civil servants.

It's a pity... Jing left a sufficient safe distance, so the arrow could not reach the warship, and could only land softly on the sea and drift with the waves.

"Haha..." Upon seeing this, Jing continued to order the ship to move, and then controlled the ship to the limit of the opponent's firing range.

"The ignorant are fearless..." Lin Baiyu shook his head, standing on the deck and watching the indigenous soldiers jumping up and down. There were even indigenous soldiers pushing the boat to prepare to go into the sea.

"These indigenous people are quite interesting." Jing shook his head and smiled.

"When we first landed, we raided the indigenous tribes. They were afraid of weapons and chose to surrender. The blame is here. After they became slaves, they became not afraid of life and death." Jing smiled and gave Lin Baiyu some science information, without minding it at all.

The approach of an indigenous boat.

"Although they are a little short, they are full of ferocity. As long as they can suppress them, they are not afraid of life and death. They are really good guards and guardians." Lin Baiyu gave a high evaluation after hearing this.

Not afraid of life and death but afraid of strength, isn't this the best slave?

Unfortunately, it's a bit short...it looks like a monkey.

"How is farming? Is it effective?" Lin Baiyu asked.

"Senior brother, you want to ask whether these natives are suitable for reclaiming wasteland and mining?" Jing smiled.

Jing's job has been decided. He will be responsible for exploring the open sea, while Lin Baiyu will be responsible for searching for mineral deposits in the Fuso area, opening up wasteland for mining, and organizing offshore development.

"I have to ask..." Lin Baiyu smiled.

"It's possible to reclaim wasteland and farm. Strangely enough, they learned farming very quickly and worked diligently." Jing spoke highly of the Fusang natives.

"This is the best! If it is used effectively, there will be no need for the Central Plains to continue to deploy manpower for corvee labor."

While the two were chatting, the indigenous boats and wooden boats had begun to approach, and they began to try to fire bows and arrows at the big ship. Under the cover of arrows, some indigenous people were approaching Da Qin's ship at a very fast speed, and the oars were shaking very fast.

It seems that they want to take the opportunity to board the ship and fight.

"Fire the arrow!"

Jing saw that the opponent had reached the range of Qin Nu and gave the order!

Compared with the limp bows of the natives, the arrows of the Qin crossbows were sharper and had a longer range. With only a thousand Qin crossbows, thousands of the natives were unable to resist.

“Try this!”

Lin Baiyu pulled Jing!

I saw two giant crossbows displayed on the hull!

The capstan wrapped with hemp rope was gradually tightened, and the two soldiers loaded the arrows.

It's carrying...

Because light arrows are as thin as a forearm and more than three meters long.

With the tooth-aching sound of the winch tightening, loading was completed.

Lin Baiyu took aim personally and then released the winch.

The arrows flew out like thunder...directly towards the opponent's canoe!

The huge arrows hit, and the inferior canoe was cut in half. Several natives on the boat were swept by the huge waves, and struggled repeatedly in the water.

"The effect is average..." Jing shook his head.

"It's still not as practical as the trebuchet!"

The giant winch crossbow is just one of the achievements of the Yin Yang family's transformation, but unfortunately the effect is not very satisfactory.

It is too bulky, the launch and reload speed is too slow, and its power is mediocre. Of course, it is a dimensionality-reducing attack against canoes and planks, but if it encounters an equally large ship, it may not be able to cause effective damage.

In comparison, ship-borne trebuchets are obviously more convenient and more powerful.

"The upper racket..."

Although the Fusang natives have been suppressed and beaten due to the disparity in weapons and equipment and ships, their bravery and fearless style really allowed them to get close to Da Qin's ships.

Unfortunately, their canoes and planks were too small. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were condescending, swinging their huge bats, and the boats were shattered...

"Use the trebuchet..." Jing said.

"This ship's crossbow will have to be dismantled later. To use this ship's crossbow, it is better to use it to hold a few more stones."

Currently, each ship is equipped with a trebuchet. In order to install the trebuchet, the load-carrying capacity of the sea-going ship has been further reduced, and it can carry fewer people, but the combat effectiveness is much stronger than before.

Twenty trebuchets were launched at the same time, with great momentum...but the hit rate was not too high. After all, this was the sea, and it was impossible to hit wherever you pointed.

On the sea, let alone trebuchets, even artillery's hit rate is not high. In the Age of Discovery, there are many examples of two ships firing cannonballs into the air without making any mistakes.

However, the natives used canoes and planks, and they had more and denser manpower. Twenty trebuchets were launched at the same time, and the impact was still very satisfactory.

The natives fell into the sea one after another like dumplings.

However, it was still difficult to cause effective damage to Da Qin's twenty ships. They were not even able to board Da Qin's ships.

"These natives are really brave..." Lin Baiyu was amazed when he saw it.
