Chapter 4092: How to destroy the giant ship? Everyone offers suggestions
Zhu Chaoshi waved his hand: "Everyone, I'm afraid you don't realize what the most powerful means is in this water battle on the river."
Jin Fu wondered: "The most powerful method of water warfare? Is to directly collide with the warship and sink the opponent? This giant ship is so big that if it hits our warship head-on, it will be directly rammed and sunk, right?
How do we avoid this?"
Zhu Xiaofan nodded and said: "That's right. However, the enemy's giant ship can sink our Huanglong warship by ramming it, but our warship is not that big. To sink the enemy's giant ship, do we have to do something else?"
Think of a way? For example, attack from the side, break their cabin, let the river water flow in, and sink it? "
Having said this, he suddenly shook his head: "No, the bottom cabin of the demon thief's giant ship has been specially designed and processed. The eight cabins below are separated from each other. Even if one cabin is flooded, it will
You can close this cabin and drain water while continuing to float on the water by relying on other cabins. Moreover, the side walls of their ship are extremely thick, as thick as a city gate. If you want to directly cut through and pierce them, make a big hole and sink them, I'm afraid
It’s very difficult.”
Another soldier named Jia Jun said unconvinced: "Our Huanglong warship has eight oxen crossbows and even twelve-stone strong crossbows. We ran to the side of their giant ship and fired the strong crossbows at close range. Is it possible?
Are you still worried that you won’t be able to penetrate the side of this giant ship?”
Jin Fu sighed and said solemnly: "Brother Jia Jun, you think too simply. Even if a strong crossbow is fired, it is just a broken spear, or a harpoon. Of course, if it hits someone,
The one who is hit will be killed immediately, but the power of hitting a thick wooden ship plank as thick as a city gate is much less. The most likely situation is just to insert this flying stick into the thick ship wall.
It's just like shooting an arrow through heavy armor. It looks like the arrows are as densely packed as the thorns on a hedgehog, but they are unable to penetrate and cause much damage."
"Even if the ship wall can be penetrated, it is just a small hole as thick as a broken branch. It is far from a big hole, and it cannot even break the area below the waterline, allowing the river water to pour in, and follow us.
The degree of sinking the giant ship that we hoped for is much lower. What's more, as Brother Xiaofan said, the enemy giant ship can also forcefully sink other ships by closing other cabins, repairing leaky cabins, throwing away ballast stones, etc.
To float a giant ship, unless dozens of big holes are punched through it at the same time, it will be even more difficult to sink the giant ship through this method."
Having said this, Jin Fu looked at Zhu Chaoshi: "Brother Shitou, what do you think of our analysis?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "Your analysis is very good. The most important thing for a giant ship is to prevent the side from being penetrated and causing water to sink. Because they are almost invincible in frontal combat. In addition to the tactics you just mentioned, I will add
Some, that is, the side protection of the giant ship. The reason why the giant ship must be five stories high is to attack the enemy ships on the side from a high position. There are rackets and rocks on the upper floors, which can sink the enemy ships approaching from a high position.
Boat."
"And on the lower level, when the ship is stopped during combat and the oars are folded, the rowers can also launch the ballistae to attack the warships on the opposite side. Although the big wave attack just now washed away many people, crossbows and catapults on the deck surface.
Go, but there is no loss of the crossbows in the lower cabin. These crossbows are dual-purpose. They can be used as backup crossbows and pushed to the upper deck for combat to supplement the losses of long-range weapons on the upper deck. They can also be placed on the bottom floor.
Launch and attack the enemy ships on the side."
Jin Fu stuck out his tongue: "It seems that this side attack will not work. In fact, when we fought in Wu, many of our Jin army's warships tried to attack the eight-armed giant ship from the side like this, but they never succeeded.
The best result is to jump on the giant ship and fight hand-to-hand. This time we have thirty Huanglong warships and fight against his four isolated giant ships. If we all join together and use the power of our Beifu army, can we seize the ship by force?"
Zhu Xiaofan shook his head: "The people on the giant ship are not ordinary sailors. They are all Sanwu old thieves. At least a few thousand of them followed Lu Xunxu to revolt, traveled across the ocean, and mingled all the way to where we are now.
Zhan Yusheng, we have all seen their abilities on the ship. If we are talking about fighting on land, our Beifu Army soldiers have advantages due to their combat skills and equipment. Fighting on this river, it is difficult to stand firm under the wind and waves.
It's absolutely impossible to defeat them. What's more, before connecting to the ship's side, the demon thieves will wet the ship's planks with oil, just to make our people unstable and slip directly. They have armor on them, so if they fall, they will stand up.
If you don’t get up, you will be slaughtered by others.”
Jin Fu began to feel a little irritable. He walked back and forth, rubbing his hands while walking, and kept saying: "This won't work, that won't work either. Is there no way to sink these damn giant ships?"
?”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes lit up and he stopped. He looked at the ships that had already rushed in front of the giant ship. They separated the queue. More than half of the ships circled around from the outside to outflank the giant ship, and the other half came from the distance between the giant ship.
At a distance of about ten feet, they forcefully penetrated, and dozens of small boats followed closely behind these Huanglong warships that inserted into the space, sprinting forward at full speed.
"Peng" and "Ka La La", the iron ropes between several giant ships, covering the ship planks and allowing them to run back and forth, broke one after another under the strong collision of the Huanglong warships, and there were also several iron ropes.
Although the ship's planks were shattered, the iron cables still remained, which stuck the Huanglong warship. The mast on the top of the ship, under the impact of the river current, suddenly collided with the iron cables, and was simply strangled.
It broke and fell down. The mast, which was several feet high, hit the deck of the Huanglong warship directly. There was another huge impact sound. Visible to the naked eye, the soldiers who stayed on the deck suddenly felt helpless.
Few people threw themselves to the ground, and some were thrown out of the boat and fell into the river.
Jinfu murmured: "Could it be that our Huanglong warships are going to forcefully break through the iron chain connection, cut off the connection between the giant ships, and then break them one by one and fight hand-to-hand one by one?"
Jia Jun gritted his teeth: "It's a pity. I didn't expect that the momentum was so strong, and the iron cable was so strong, it actually broke our mast directly. Now our brothers have to use sharp axes and knives to chop it down."
These are the iron ropes, otherwise it would be terrible if they get stuck and cannot move."
Zhu Xiaofan sighed: "No, the enemy jumped on our ship first."
