The functions of things like bump horns and racket sticks are similar to human arms and swords in hands.
The greatest value and function is that it is used for "hand-to-hand combat". The bigger the ship, the stronger its "hand-to-hand" ability will naturally be - the strength of a boxer first depends on the heavyweight.
Generally speaking, in addition to ramming and shooting sticks, the means of naval battles include bows, arrows and grenades. In terms of the method of using grenades, the first is of course direct brute force throwing. The second is... what Yeon Gaesumun has heard recently.
, the Tang army possesses a specially constructed unique crossbow machine that can be used to throw grenades farther - this is definitely a big threat in Yeon Gaesumun's view.
However, this kind of threat is actually not bad, because you can use a special crossbow machine to throw the grenade farther... No matter how far it is, it is not very far, and the hit rate is always highly doubtful.
The hit rate is doubtful, which means...as long as you quickly escape as soon as possible after seizing the ship, the Tang Army's pursuit will not really pose a threat to you.
In general... Even if there is a grenade, because of its difficulty in hitting, the role of the impact angle and the racket cannot be underestimated. Because of the difficulty in hitting the grenade, unless the Tang Army organizes a large-scale attack, it will
Prepare numerous grenades to ensure that enemy ships can be destroyed. In addition to fire attacks by small boats - which are also called "junk ships" by the Dutch in the world line in Li Sheng's memory - the main combat methods they rely on are
It's still about corner collisions and pole shooting, as well as hand-to-hand combat with helpers boarding the ship.
So……
Here comes the problem. All the dukes and generals in the Southern Dynasties were human beings who grew up eating arrows and horseshoes on the battlefield.
How can we easily cancel such highly used weapons as the bumper and racket?
not to mention……
Although these ships came from the West Lake Shipyard, Yeon Gaesumun also clearly heard that the initial and major improvements to these ships were all the work of Li Sheng himself.
Yeon Gaesumun has learned how weird and terrifying this Li Sheng is more than once.
...How could people like this easily cancel the armaments on the warship?
This is almost impossible!
Realizing this, Yeon Gaesumun understood at this moment the reason for his inexplicable sense of vigilance. There was something missing from the Tang Army's warship, and although it was not the most important, it was the most commonly used collision angle.
and racket stick.
Is this... normal? Just think about it and you’ll know it’s definitely not normal!
However, even Yeon Gaesumun couldn't figure out what the mystery was.
There is too little information. My reputation in Goguryeo does not mean that I am the God of War. I can see everything clearly.
But at this time, the Xianbei boy on the side suddenly came closer and said, "Gang leader, this Tang Jun is ridiculous. If you are acting as a martial artist, you will hit the corner and take the stick away, for fear of damaging the boat. How can you perform martial arts like this?"
When this young man from Xianbei said this, Yuan Gaisuwen felt as if a light bulb lit up above his head for an instant, his eyes widened... and he slowly came back to his senses.
Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the case...
The Tang army was practicing martial arts, not fighting. What if the expensive sea-going ship was damaged by the installation of ramming horns and racket poles? These things are very expensive.
Although it's a bit funny, as I, a Xianbei soldier, said, even if no one is allowed to die in martial arts, if you are afraid of breaking things, then you, Tang Jun, are acting lonely...
After thinking this way, Yeon Gaesumun finally felt relieved.
To be precise, the nervousness I had been worried about for a long time finally disappeared completely, and I was just waiting for an opportunity to capture the Tang army!
A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, Yeon Gaesoo's eyes were cold, and his whole body was like a tiger lying down, breathing fiercely.
But then, the Xianbei boy on the side suddenly said "Huh?" and then said, "This Tang Army's ship is really clean!"
"clean?"
Yuan Gaisuwen was startled when he heard this, and then followed the Xianbei younger brother's gaze to look at several warships on the sea.
It was a good thing that I hadn't paid attention before, but when I saw it... I immediately realized that something was wrong.
The deck of the Tang army's ship was so transparent that it could be seen through the smeared light!
It's like expensive furniture.
The Xianbei boy on the side was still watching with interest and curiosity.
But Yeon Gaesumun's brows were already frowning tightly, because...
Because this situation is so unusual.
The average Xianbei soldier does not understand the Han army, but that does not mean that Yuan Gaisuwen does not understand.
Yuan Gaisuwen, who had repeatedly fought against the Sui and Tang armies countless times, had an extra understanding of the Han army than the average Xianbei people. He also knew that the quality of the Xianbei army depended on the Xianbei people in the army.
Is it good or not, is the body strong or not, how is the balance ability on horseback, then...
There is a very accurate indicator of the strength of the Han people's army that few people know.
See if the weapons are kept clean!
Most Xianbei people would only marvel at this strange feature, but who was Yuan Gaisuwen? He had conducted repeated and in-depth investigations and studies on the Han army many years ago.
In short, once you find that the Han army's armor suddenly becomes clean and bright one day, polished like a mirror, and the spears, spears and crossbows in their hands are plated like expensive furniture, then you can be sure of one thing directly.
The Han army...
Someone must have stayed here and taken care of it personally!
And now...
Yeon Gaesumun suddenly realized that things were not simple. This was not something wrong that he had discovered before... it was just the doubts that arose in his heart when he observed that Tang Jun had canceled the racket pole and the collision angle.
But this deck is as polished as a mirror... Damn it, this thing is almost equivalent to an army on land, turning the camp into the emperor's palace.
If it weren't for the extremely powerful and skillful generals running the army, there would be no other explanation!
even……
Yeon Gaesumun briefly recalled that the "precision" feeling revealed by this deck was something he had never seen before when he directly fought against the army led by Chai Shao in the past!
this……
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant, and Yeon Gaesumun's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
Damn, this...
Could it be that in addition to Chai Shao, the Tang army that came out to perform martial arts today had other generals secretly training them?
If this is the case... then the action I am planning today will be very risky!
Realizing this, Yuengai Suwen felt that he was a loser. This Tang army was so crouching tiger, hidden dragon!
The key is……
I still don’t know what skills Tang Jun has today.
Although the Xianbei troops... or "helpers" beside him gradually calmed down and began to be eager to fight again, Yuan Gaisuwen still looked over decisively.
