Chapter 4058: Sandbag compartment for side protection
A hint of surprise flashed across Hu Lin'er's face, and she turned to look at Tan Daoji: "General Tan, the distance of a hundred steps is already very close. Monsters and thieves are good at water battles. If we are unfavorable in the boarding battle, we may need those brothers behind to ambush the ship.
How about coming back with a boat to attack?!"
Tan Daoji smiled slightly: "The opponent's general is not an incompetent person. At this time, he will not put all his strength into it. Even for the rear, he must be on guard. We can only wait for them to completely lower their guard before they can add more strength.
Only when they can be captured will they completely enter our siege. I think they also have many powerful water ghosts, which we may not be able to see with the naked eye. What I have to do is to lure out all their strength.
, Commander Hu, please do not launch an ambush in the rear at this time, wait for my order."
Hu Lin'er nodded and said with a smile: "General, you can keep your composure, but I can't. Then should we speed up our second formation's attack?"
Tan Daoji's eyes were fixed on the battle ahead. At this moment, Fu Hongzhi had arrived on the Wulin in front, raised the general's flag, and directed the warship to pass the front rear guard warship.
In the gap, they were almost a hundred steps away from the opponent's warships, moving forward at the same time. The speed of these Huanglong warships was also slowly increasing, and the oar frequency was getting faster and faster. Following the west wind, the speed had exceeded
The impact speed of the assault ship on the opposite side is obvious. The tall hull of the three-story ship is much higher than the two-story Mengchong warship on the opposite side. From the position of the fire, it can be clearly seen that this
height difference.
Tan Daoji said thoughtfully: "Commander Hu, if the enemy engages us in a head-on battle, what kind of tactics will they use? Jump to join the ship, attack with fire, or find a way to sink our warships?"
Hu Lin'er said sternly: "Generally speaking, in this kind of situation where a small one is attacking a large one, one has to consider two methods: sinking or jumping to join the ship. If the monster thief dares to use a small boat to directly attack our big ship, he must be on the ship.
Those who have done something wrong will put some crossbows on the side of the ship. When they pass each other, the crossbows will be fired in an attempt to penetrate the side deck of our army."
Tan Daoji frowned: "Then how to defeat this move? Before going out this time, Commander Cai and you promised that we could prevent this move, but we didn't tell Zheng Xi and me how to prevent it. Now we can say it.
"
Hu Lin'er smiled slightly, pointed to the lower cabin, and said: "Our Huanglong warships are all specially designed to deal with the demon thief's tactics, because the Jin army has fought many battles with the demon thief before, and in Huan
When Xuan entered Jiankang, our navy of the Chu army also had battles with them. We knew that they liked to arrange crossbows from the side bottom compartment to sink large ships. The monster thieves we faced this time were the old thieves back then. In order to prevent
For their approach, we divided the bottom cabin into four cabins, using a layout similar to their eight-stern warship."
Tan Daoji's eyes lit up: "That is to say, if they are separated from each other, if one cabin is flooded, the other cabins will not be flooded, right?"
Hu Lin'er nodded: "Yes, and when we meet each other, we will give up the bottom oar position and block the side of the cabin with more than two layers of sandbags and earthbags. In this way, the enemy's crossbows will be blocked.
Even if you shoot and break the outer hull, it will be difficult to break the earth bag inside, and it is not so easy to cause a large mouth of water."
Tan Daoji laughed: "It's really difficult for you to have such an operation. However, in this way, the cabin and rowers are completely blocked. Isn't the boat just parked on the river and passively beaten?"
Hu Lin'er waved his hand confidently: "Don't be afraid of this. What we want is to prepare to stop the ship and fight. Fighting with the big and the small, high with the small. This is our advantage. There are more than a hundred soldiers on each warship, and the enemy's assault ship
In addition to the oarsmen, there can be up to sixty or seventy people on board to fight, not to mention we also have racket poles and heavy hammers that can be used to smash enemy ships from high places. If the enemy fires crossbows, we can also attack them from above and break them into pieces."
Tan Daoji suddenly waved his hand: "No, we can't sink all the enemy's assault ships at once. This is not in line with my plan. I want to circle the enemy ships around our Huanglong warship, and then force the enemy to
The only option is to force a boarding battle and rush onto our warships, or we can kill them on these assault ships and engage in close combat and hand-to-hand combat. Is there any way to do this?"
Hu Lin'er frowned slightly: "That doesn't require high-altitude hammering or batting. However, this will complicate the battle that could have been easily solved, and will also cost a lot of brothers. Is it worth it?"
Tan Daoji said in a deep voice: "Only in this way can the enemy feel that there is hope of victory and invest all their reserve forces. This is what I call the method of luring the enemy and provoking them. Commander Hu, in order to win, we need such an adventure, Fu
This is what the general does when he personally goes to the front to direct the battle."
Hu Lin'er gritted his teeth: "Understood, then I will give the order right now. When all the enemy troops are brought forward to engage in battle, the ambush ship in the rear will be launched again."
Tan Daoji nodded: "Continue to give the order. Don't kill all the soldiers on the Huanglong ship at once to scare away the enemy. Let them go out to fight in batches. We should also give the enemy a chance to climb onto our warship. At the same time,
Our people also fight on the enemy ship, fighting together without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. Even if the enemy has water ghosts and the like doing mischief underwater and want to penetrate our warship, we can still move to the enemy's assault.
On the ship, in short, I can sacrifice the twenty or thirty Huanglong warships in front of me, but I must fight against the enemy’s fleet and not return even a single piece of it!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw ahead that the fleets of the two armies, which were about a hundred paces apart, were almost facing each other amidst shouts of killing. The second formation of the Jin army was about forty paces away from the rearguard fleet.
In the Huanglong warship, the Wulin took the lead, with Fu Hongzhi holding a big halberd and standing proudly behind the shield on the bow.
His feet have been put on special combat boots with barbed iron grips, so that he, an elite land combatant who is not a sailor, can avoid slipping while fighting on the ship. Opposite him, there are about twenty
At a position about one step away, three or four Tianshi Dao assault ships had already shot out of the yellow smoke.
On the bow of the ship, there were also many big men with black paint on their faces, holding sharp knives, and wearing suits or costumes all over their bodies. Their faces were wide open, and blood-like spells were drawn between their eyebrows.
From a distance, it seems as if the third eye has been opened. On both sides of the cheeks, there are two long colored lines ranging from yellow to red. Each person is chanting runes and spells that others cannot understand.
, all seem to be using this feudal superstition to gain superhuman strength for themselves.
