Chapter 308 No one is allowed to run
away
"Why are they still moving?"
This question made almost everyone on the shore feel strange that ships can move freely on the sea without sails or oars, which has long surpassed their beliefs.
At this moment, on the bottom of the "Qinhuang"-amp warship, in the originally empty space, there were chairs one by one. Sitting on these chairs, the thick cushions made people feel like they were lying on the bed with their legs bent.
In front is a pedal that looks like a bicycle, and on the wide wooden conveyor wheel are toothed belts that transmit power. The toothed belt extends to the drive shaft below, but it is already wrapped tightly there. Behind these chairs is an acceleration wheel with a metal outer ring. It can transmit twisting in a relatively balanced manner, and behind it is the so-called speed change mechanism.
The two large axles now lead to the two cabins below that are not in the water. Everyone should still remember that the "Qinhuang"-apm warship is a catamaran. The rear of the two hulls are two large propellers. By adjusting the torque distance and rotation speed, the differential steering of the two propellers can be achieved. Moreover, these things are wrapped in the shell.
Considering that there are too few people who know how to use machinery at this time, Martin tried to use a simple power transmission system when designing it.
At this time, Matt was relying on hundreds of unduly duty crew members, gunners, as well as marines, chefs, etc., who were not used in artillery battles in the bottom cabin, and then gathered here to increase the mobility of the warship.
Maybe I feel a little incredible, how could human power reach this level? In fact, it has been explained very clearly in the first season of "Chapter 93 Humans Also Have Power". And remember that there are huge differences in dynamic and static power.
Because of the need for drives, there were not many crew members on the warships, but now Marines are arranged in it because of drives and near-shore combat and defense tasks. This makes the originally empty bottom cabin full of climbs.
In addition, due to the installation of the main power system, an ammunition hand on the crossbow cannon was abolished. The winding and the operation of the stone thrower were all provided by this main power system. Although the "Qinhuang"-apm warship is the subsequent system of the Qinhuang-class warship, it is obviously the warship with the most machinery, the fastest and the best mobility in human history.
The change caused by this is that these warships will no longer act as transport ships and carry a large number of soldiers. Fortunately, those whale-class transport ships have already undertaken transportation tasks, and will not cause trouble to the fleet because of transporting soldiers.
The "Qinhuang"-apm-class warship itself carries 250 Marine soldiers, including archers. Although they only have bows, swords, flying swallows i-type crossbows and stone throwers, they cannot truly become forces against cavalry and other large-scale troops. However, this infantry equipped with heavy weapons can defend somewhere in the coastal area and attack relatively close.
The massacre on the sea shocked the people on the shore, and they all put down the telescopes in their hands one by one. Because they found that there were almost no other figures on the strange ship except those who had operated stone throwers.
"Ghost ships...those ships are ghosts that are manipulating ghost ships..."
People who are unaware of the truth say such words, on the coast where the night cold has not subsided, these words make people's backs chill. It's not surprising, just like when people see lightning at this time, because of their knowledge, they are not just a collision of clouds.
They rushed back to the camp in the east, and quietly discussed their future with each other.
"It seems that this Aladdin Emperor's army is indeed blessed by the God of Lamps! Are we..."
It is a rather stupid act to oppose gods and immortals, and it is the case with Arabs who at least have absolute beliefs. However, it is easy to change what they had promised at the beginning.
The person sitting there drinking tea raised his eyes and looked at the panicked others coldly. Without any warning, he held the expensive crystal tea cup bought at the island of Laike in his hand and smashed it into pieces underground.
"We swear to Allah at the beginning, so if someone goes back on his word now..."
When he spoke, his eyes were coldly staring at the panicked people, as if he wanted to tear him apart with his eyes.
"What, are you scared? If you are afraid..."
In Arabia, especially when facing the so-called Arab warriors, they said that the other party was timid, as if they were spitting on the other party's face. Facing his cold gaze, the people who were still afraid of the so-called "ghost ships" just now stood up again.
"Okay, we promised, so we can't back down. If anyone suggests that if that just happened, we will treat him like this!"
Another person who spoke seemed to be planning to compete for the second seat in the future Aden province. He pulled out a long arrow from his quiver and broke it into two pieces.
Since the first person smashed something and the second person broke the arrow, it means that their oath could not be changed. If this is the case, then the scared person is likely to be killed by these guys who have become thugs.
"Okay, okay..."
The scared man mumbled, looking at the faces of others.
"Anyway, there is only one Allah, and there is no Lamp God in the world!"
When everyone seemed to no longer pay attention to his reaction, he still said something quietly in his heart.
"My Allah, forgive me for your thoughts. But you are an upright God. I think you will be willing to be afraid of other Gods, at least this will not cause any inconvenience to you!"
He said this in his heart because he was still worried about the battle that happened at sea in the early morning. His eyes turned around and wanted to find someone to deliver letters to his subordinates, or he could leave here quietly. No matter what kind of god he was, it was not something that a small human like him could deal with!
He was thinking about things with a sad face, and suddenly saw the eyes of others returning to him. He quickly tried his best to crack his mouth and smile, pretending to be brave.
"Yes, everyone is right. We have all made vows that no matter who wants to run, everyone will kill him together, so no one wants to run!"
These words also alerted the others, knowing that they are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If they rebel, they would be killed by others before they could be killed.
At this time, the sea had just solved the fleet behind the Lord of Ashlever's fleet. Several huge sailboats and those that had not been improved, and the fleet led by Matt's father Abu Bakr appeared near the coast.
On the high watchtower in the camp, the city lords of the eastern cities looked at the enemy worriedly. The city lord who was drinking tea issued an order to make everyone understand that he was really scared by the other party's military appearance.
"Go and tell the little Lord Ashlever that the enemy is coming. Our cavalry in the east may not be able to stop them and ask them to line up behind us!"
It's no wonder that he was nervous. Whoever saw the black iron armored cavalry in front of him would become a little nervous when they lined up in an attacking formation.
This time, in addition to the 1,000 main combat cavalry of the Song Yulin Army, Zhao Fubo also followed behind him with cavalry from the Arab army with a total of 3,000 people. These well-trained cavalry were still in a mess even when advancing. The drums beat the rhythm, and whether the horses or soldiers, when they advanced, they determined their rhythm and speed based on the sounds of these drums.
In front of them were the Arab Mamluk cavalry running out of the barracks. Their helmets were crooked and their armor was slanted, and the flags were not spread. It was obvious that they had no intention of fighting. As Fatima told Zhao Fubo, they would pretend to intercept and then let his army go. When he was fighting with the 10,000 cavalry of the little Ashlefford, the Arab cavalry in the eastern cities could launch an attack from behind him at any time.
No matter from any perspective, this is a battle of death. Even if the Matt battleship is added, those stone throwers and flying swallow i-type crossbows that are arranged in the middle of the cavalry, which are mainly long-range firepower, are also hopeless battles.
"preparation……"
Zhao Fubo raised his hand and the cavalry brigade stopped. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves and drums disappeared without a trace. No one of his cavalry moved, nor did he neigh.
The battlefield was as quiet as a cemetery at midnight, with only the eternal wind roaring across the battlefield. At this time, from the camp of the Little Ashleffor City Lord, a large group of Mamuru soldiers ran out. Little Ashleffor was sitting in a carriage with about 20 cows. The carriage was a tall wooden tower, where he could almost see the entire battlefield.
In front of them was a line formed by the lords of the city lords in the eastern region. Although the soldiers seemed to be unemployed and listless, they should have eliminated the charge of the black-armored cavalry. When they came to their own formation, they would first be blocked by the infantry.
Then came his own central army camp, and on both sides were his own cavalry. Little Ashleff's plan was that when the opponent's cavalry began to charge, his cavalry would detour from both sides. At that time, no matter how brave and good the black armored cavalry were, they were surrounded by nearly 20,000 Mamluk cavalry, where would their chances of victory be?
"What a pity, we didn't have time to push out the stone throwers and giant crossbows in the camp!"
The old financial officer sighed quietly beside him, and his heart was also sighing.
"It's over, the Ashlever family is about to end here today, maybe no one can escape!"
