Ma Benlei and Li Cunba each command an A-class battleship. This method of distinguishing the size of battleships is also newly stipulated by Kanglong. All Longxiang battleships with a draft of more than 10,000 stones are uniformly classified as Class A battleships.
, those with 5,000 to 10,000 shi are classified as Class B battleships, those above 2,000 and below 5,000 are classified as Class C battleships, and those below 2,000 are classified as Class D transport ships and landing ships.
The one commanded by Ma Benlei is the No. 7 Benlei Ship, and the one commanded by Li Cunba is the No. 8 Blood-killing Ship. They both named the ships themselves, and they had the boatmen paint the bows with red paint.
It's majestic.
Ma Benlei saw that those short Japanese pirates were so indifferent to everyone and made all kinds of obscene and shameless actions to disgust them. He immediately became furious, clapped the big knife in his hand, pointed forward, and ran away.
The helmsman of the mine ship sailed towards the two sea shark warships at full speed. He was going to kill them!
Liu Tong, the deputy commander of the Benlei ship who was standing next to Ma Benlei, was so frightened that he hugged Ma Benlei and shouted: "Commander Ma, don't be impulsive. You just told us about General Kang's military order. General Kang didn't
Are we ordered not to tangle with the Japanese pirates? If we charge forward, we will be disobeying General Kang’s military order!"
Ma Benlei said angrily: "His grandma, Liu Tong, haven't you seen those hateful short guys, disgusting us? Grandpa, if I don't rush over and kill them, I won't be able to calm down the anger in my heart!"
Liu Tong, deputy commander of the Benlei Ship, pointed at Li Cunba's blood-killing ship not far away and said with envy: "Commander Ma, look, Commander Li didn't even move. Look how relaxed and calm he is over there.
!”
Ma Benlei looked at the Blood Killing Ship not far away, and saw Li Cunba sitting on a big mahogany chair, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, drinking it happily, without paying any attention to those things.
I looked at the provocative behavior of the Japanese pirates as if I were watching a clown perform.
Looking at the people on the Blood Killing Ship, they are all sitting in their respective positions with weapons in their hands. They are also holding food in their hands and eating and drinking happily. They are not at all like the people on the Ben Lei Ship. Ben Lei
The soldiers and oarsmen on the ship were bombarded by Ma Ben Lei again early this morning. They were struggling all over the place, but they did not go on a mission. They were all standing listlessly on the deck, leaning on their guns.
The oarsmen, helmsmen, sailors and other boatmen were all sleepy-eyed, obviously having been tortured by Ma Benlei.
Ma Benlei sat down on the deck in frustration. Jiang was indeed old and hot. Ma Benlei had never fought in a naval battle or commanded a warship. He had been in a high mood for the past two days, so he gave Kang Long to him.
The sergeants and boatmen on the Benlei ship were so tormented that they could not sleep peacefully. On the other hand, Li Cunba was indeed a veteran on the battlefield. He knew how to cherish the soldiers' physical strength and never use unnecessary energy. In the past two days, in addition to rest, he
, almost all the time was spent chatting, communicating, and boosting morale with the sergeants and boatmen on the Blood Killing Ship. Occasionally, he would get food and drinks from Kang Long, and then he would take them all back to the Blood Killing Ship and share them with everyone.
In less than a day, he became familiar with the sergeants and boatmen on the Blood Killing Ship. Now he is able to follow orders and prohibitions. Although he cannot say that he can use his arms and fingers when fighting, at least he can do his best.
Utilizing the power of the entire ship.
When Ma Benlei saw the sergeants and boatmen on the Blood Killing Ship eating food leisurely and looking at his commander with admiration, he felt a little ashamed. Thinking about how he treated his subordinates these past two days, Ma Benlei felt a little ashamed.
Ah. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to sympathize with the soldiers. Every time he received wine and meat from Kang Long, he would take it back and share it with everyone. But in the past two days, maybe it was because he was too excited, and he often ordered the Benlei Ship to
He was practicing outside the camp, but after two days, there was still no effect. He was wondering whether it was because he had not encountered an enemy ship, so everyone was not enthusiastic, so as soon as he saw an enemy ship approaching, he immediately beat the drum
Get on the boat and urge everyone.
He looked at his listless men and had no choice but to wave his hand and said: "Brothers, since the general's order is not to take the initiative to attack, let's rest where we are. Deputy Commander Liu, go and eat the food prepared by the commander in the bottom cabin.
Take it up and share it with all the brothers to eat."
Everyone was so happy that they put down their swords and guns one after another and sat or lay down on the spot. Some of the tired ones started to snore as soon as they lay down.
Seeing the two sea shark warships at such a close distance, their opponents did not come out to fight. They thought they were scared, so they laughed wildly and sailed forward for a while. Previously, their distance had already reached the range of the crossbow.
It will move forward for a while and stop exactly three hundred meters away. This distance has already entered the range of ordinary crossbows.
I wonder if these Japanese pirates know that the warships of the Blood Wolf Fleet are not equipped with large-scale crossbows, and they do not even have strong crossbows or rackets for close combat. The only thing they can rely on is that they look shabby, but they are actually extremely tough.
A sturdy battleship, that's why I dare to get so close to test and peep.
Kang Long stood on the deck of the Blood Wolf Battleship No. 1, sneered twice, and said to Zhu Yuanlang next to him: "Yuan Long, you have been curious about what I tinkered with a few days ago. Today's weather
Yes, two more little fishes jumped out and writhed, which simply satisfied your curiosity. Come on, push the gun cart up from the bottom of the cabin, be careful. This is what our Blood Wolf Army is doing now.
The only Laoye gun carriage is scattered, so my 'bomb' has no power."
Zhu Yuanlang said in surprise: "Lord, is that thing you made called a 'bomb'? What is its use?"
Kang Long smiled and said, "You'll know if you take a look."
With that said, Kang Long turned around and walked back to the cabin, and took out a large wooden box from inside. At this time, the sergeant on the Blood Wolf battleship also shouted a slogan and pushed a heavy gun carriage from the bottom cabin onto the deck.
Kang Long looked at it and shook his head. He had seen this kind of artillery truck in many historical materials and knew how to use it. But he had never had the opportunity to use it himself. But looking at the artillery truck in front of him, he didn't know it could still be used.
for how long.
The so-called artillery cart is actually a stone trebuchet. The structure is also sophisticated and complex, and its power lies in the stones thrown. Of course, the whole large stone can also be replaced by a special bag filled with scattered stones.
After being launched, it falls into the enemy's position. The bag will shatter and the rubble will fall out, which can also injure people on a large scale. However, this kind of artillery cart is very heavy, has a complex structure, is difficult to operate, and wears out too quickly, so although
It was developed and put into production, but it has not been widely used on the battlefield.
Zhu Yuanlang looked at this old gun carriage with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. He was thinking about it and suddenly said in surprise: "My lord, although there is one gun carriage, no one knows how to use it! In those days, every battleship had
There are such artillery carriages equipped, and one artillery carriage is specially equipped with four gunners to operate it, but now we don’t have anyone who can operate the artillery carriage? What should we do? "
Zhu Yuanlang looked at Kang Long worriedly. He didn't think Kang Long would use this kind of artillery carriage. This kind of artillery carriage is called the Xuanwei artillery carriage. It was made when Zhu Wen was General Xuanwei. On the current battlefield, it is very difficult to use this kind of artillery carriage.
This kind of artillery carriage is rarely seen, not only because it is heavy and difficult to deploy on the battlefield, but also because the artillery driver is too difficult to train.
