The white waves in Dongting are sparse with leaves, and Yan Hong begins to enter Wu Yunfei.
Wu Yunhan, Yan Hongku.
The wind whistles and the sand stays in Xiaoxiangpu, and the honest people shed tears like rain in autumn.
During the day, you can use your mind to understand the Lord.
A strong man is angry and heroic.
Ande relied on the heavenly sword to cross the sea and kill the long whale.

…
Although the "Meteor Repeater" firepower on the bednuo sea loach is fierce, it is only very lethal to the sailors (sailors), and does little damage to the hull of the warship. As long as the sailors do not stick their heads out from the side of the ship, these arrows will
It is difficult to shoot a soldier with an arrow.
Liu Yinjun discovered the characteristics of Ding Jiuqu's attack, raised a flag on the main mast, mobilized his troops, gathered dozens of giant ships, and launched a swarm attack on Ding Jiuqu's warships.
The second round of attacks by the Tang Army's navy followed, with arrows like locusts and rocks like bullets, hitting the rebel soldiers and the hull of the warship, smashing the men and the ship into pieces.
Liu Yin panicked and ordered the sails to be raised, trying to use the wind to retreat.
Ding Jiuqu's tactics caught the rebel navy by surprise.
The terrified rebel soldiers could no longer care about fighting and jumped into the water to survive.
Rebel soldiers quickly took out sand and soil to try to extinguish the flames.
The "Five Teeth" giant ship commanded by Liu Yin was equipped with trebuchets. Seeing that the giant ship had distanced itself from the bed-null sea loaches, Liu Yin ordered to fire stone bombs in an attempt to destroy these annoying bed-null sea loaches.
The rebel soldiers did not bother to put out the fire and hurriedly hid behind the parapet and below the deck.
The rebel navy clung to Ding Jiuqu's warship and chased it ten miles away.
The rebel navy was caught off guard. In a hurry, the order was at a loss, and hundreds of huge oars had no time to recover.
Upon seeing the signal, the twenty "sailboats" suddenly turned around and let the other ships sail downwind.
Liu Yin sneered and said: "You still want to do the same thing again and crash my boat?!
"Red Horse" is a small boat with a long and narrow hull. Each boat can only carry about five people. It is named after its red hull and extremely fast speed.
"Boom boom boom"
"Three...two...one!"
Hundreds of warships were fighting each other, one by one.
Seen from a distance, the fifty sea loaches look like flying fish, gliding back and forth among the hundreds of huge waves blooming on the lake, chasing the wind and waves.
The role of the "Red Horse" messenger was immediately highlighted.
The navy of the Tang Army was divided into several areas by giant ships, and the flags were blocked. The battle was stalemate, the shouts of killing in the waters were loud, and the sound of retreating was intermittent and could not be heard clearly.
The cannon tip of the trebuchet is about three feet long, and the long throwing rod throws stone projectiles weighing dozens of kilograms at the bed crossbow sea loach a hundred steps away.
At the critical moment, the advantage of the bed crossbow loach's maneuverability becomes apparent. The loach lives up to its reputation, like a loach in the sea, slippery and unrestrained.
The soldiers riding the sea loach are like riders on the grassland galloping on strong horses. They can move left and right in the overwhelming rain of stones and bullets with ease.
The tactics developed by the Qin (Roman) navy during the Hundred Years War to suppress pirates: build smaller warships, use the ship itself as a weapon, and use the ramming angle to destroy the oars of enemy ships.
I'm not afraid to tell you that the bows of my warships are all covered with iron horns, and the hulls are covered with copper and iron armor. They are extremely strong and far superior to Xu Yi's warships. If you are brave, just come over!"
Seeing that the fleet led by Ding Jiuqu retreated as a whole, Liu Yin ordered a pursuit. The rebel navy took advantage of the situation and launched an attack, but they did not expect that it was a trap.
…
Ding Jiuqu assessed the situation and ordered the warships to retreat.
Clay pots filled with kerosene were thrown by the trebuchets installed by the "Thunderbolt Falcon" and hit the rebel warships. The pots shattered and kerosene burst out and sprinkled on the deck.
The waves splashed on the faces of the sailors, which not only did not frighten the sailors, but also aroused their passion. The faces of the sailors turned red, and they shouted loudly, becoming more and more excited.
"Crack!"
Under the command and dispatch of "Red Horse", the fifty bedbow sea loaches that besieged the rebel navy quickly retreated.
The "red horse" shuttled back and forth among the warships, conveying Ding Jiuqu's military orders and coordinating the advancement and retreat of the Tang army's naval vessels.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, the sea loach shoots out and darts over the top of the waves, avoiding the stone bullets falling from high altitude.
Hundreds of oarsmen (oarsmen) on each warship put down their oars, shouted chants, rowed in order, and turned the bows of the boats to face the twenty "coasts" of the Tang Navy's navy.
There was a croaking noise on the water, like thousands of herrings tumbling and jumping in the nets when fishermen were fishing.
…
Once the trebuchet is launched, its power is astonishing. The stone bullet draws a perfect trajectory in the air and hits the bed crossbow sea loach.
Seeing that the stone bullet was about to hit the hull, the pilot on the loach decisively pulled down the engine control, released the propeller chord, and the propeller at the stern rotated rapidly, instantly increasing the speed of the ship by twice the speed.
These giant ships were converted from sea-going ships and had a relatively deep draft. They were stranded on the reedy beach one after another. They lost the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and escape, and were surrounded by warships of the Tang Navy.
Twenty "Oars" sailed down the wind and passed by the hull of the giant ship. They hit the most vulnerable part of the giant oar and broke hundreds of oars.
"There should be the last ten stone bullets left, just wait a moment."
The giant ship cut through the thorns, ran rampant, and rolled towards the bednuohailoach. The size of the giant ship was ten times the size of the bednuhailoach. Once it collided with it, the bednuhailoach's hull would disintegrate in an instant.
Ding Jiuqu's tiger eyes suddenly opened, and the firecrackers in his hands soared into the sky, blooming into a gorgeous firework in mid-air.
With no one to put out the fire, the blue flames spread.
Liu Yin ordered dozens of warships to adjust their hulls and aim their bows at the twenty "sailboats" flying down the wind to prepare for collision.
At this moment, the wind direction suddenly turned against the wind, blowing dozens of giant ships into a nearby reed marsh.
Dense rockets shot out from all directions, drawing beautiful arcs in the sky and falling like meteor showers, igniting the sails and the kerosene on the deck.
The stone bullet hit the water on the side of the loach boat, causing huge waves.
The wind helped the fire, and the kerosene burned rapidly on the deck and sails, turning the entire lake into a sea of fire, and the water battle turned into a fire battle.
Without these hundreds of oars, the giant ship immediately lost power and was spinning in the center of the lake, like duckweed floating on the water.
When Feiyun turned on the electricity, twenty Tang Army "艨艉" galloped over, but this time they were not aiming at the bow of the rebel giant ship, but at the hundreds of huge oars on both sides of the giant ship.
After the stone projectiles were fired, the recoil of the throwing pole caused the "Thunderbolt Sea Falcon" to shake violently. If it were an ordinary ship, it would have capsized. But the floating plates on both sides of the "Thunderbolt Sea Falcon" quickly stabilized the hull. Six bullets pointed.
time to continue firing.
This is exactly the method of water warfare mentioned by Bai Fu when he planned this water war.
Ding Jiuqu ordered the "Thunderbolt Sea Falcon" to fire!
The gunner on the "Thunderbolt Falcon" pulled away the iron hook of the gun barrel, and the boulder immediately fell, pressing the gun tip down, and the stone bullets were suddenly thrown out.
Ding Jiuqu has been silently counting the number of stone projectiles fired by the "Five Tooth" giant ship trebuchet.
…
"General, abandon the ship and escape!"
Liu Yin's personal soldier, the captain, shouted anxiously.
The demonic fire opened its bloody mouth at Liu Yin who was panicking and commanding on the bow. Liu Yin looked at the fire burning the ship in all directions and knew that the battle was lost.
Liu Yin let out a long sigh, stamped his feet, threw the flag into the flames, and under the protection of his own soldiers, jumped onto the boat and fled.
