Chapter 893: Preserving Heavenly Principles, Destroying Demons Four

Of course, Obaha couldn't understand Muto's Chinese, but he could still guess what the Chinese kid meant: he must have felt that his arms were thick and perfect for throwing spears...... In fact, spear throwing was the specialty of the noble warriors of Axum, and Obaha was no exception. Now I'm an oarsman again, and my strength is still there.

So he didn't think much about it and immediately took the broken spear, weighed it in his hand, and then found a bearded man in chain mail who was throwing feathered arrows at the back of the "iron man", and threw the broken spear with all his strength.

I saw the broken spear fly out at a very fast speed, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and then stabbed at the Ghulam warrior in chain mail. The chain mail made of countless thin iron rings linked to each other was like paper paste in the face of the broken spear that was thrown hard, and there was no way to resist even half a point, so it let the tip of the broken spear pierce alive, pierced through the chest of the ghulam, and then drilled out of the back, and came to a heart-piercing ...... The Qulam warriors, who had been screaming for all the infidels to go to Hellfire, fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, and after two calls, they were killed.

"Mixi! Saumasnay! ”

As soon as the dwarf Muto saw Obaha's ability, he immediately praised it in Japanese, and asked his men to search for spears and short spears, and gave them to Obaha.

Obaha was not polite, he took the spear and threw it, one spear (spear), and soon brought down seven or eight Gulam and ordinary Heavenly Sect warriors who were still resisting. The rest of the people also found out that something was wrong, just the opponent's bow and arrow couldn't stop it, how could there be a spearman! Still don't let people live? Although there are so many virgins in heaven, there are so many delicious foods. But everyone still wants to fight for the cause of the Heavenly Sect for a few more years!

The Heavenly Sect warriors, who were still desperately resisting, finally couldn't hold back anymore and retreated from the staircase to the aft railing, probably wanting to jump into the sea.

But where will the samurai of the Shinsengumi give them a chance to escape? They had already pulled out a lot of "cannon fodder" from the lower oarsmen's decks, all of them were armed, and they were huddled under the aft deck. The dwarf warrior who was in charge of observing noticed that the Celestial Sect warriors on the stern deck were beginning to collapse, and immediately shouted, "Preserve Heavenly Reason! Slay the demons! Kill to ......"

The other "dwarven warriors" who heard the shouts immediately drove the "cannon fodder" up the stairs on both sides of the aft deck and attacked the stern.

The newly liberated slave oarsmen have all been bullied and bitter by the Heavenly Sect warriors, and they are all bitter and bitter, and now is the time for revenge!

The final battle, or rather the final slaughter, soon unfolded on the aft deck!

……

"Hurry, hurry! Tell me the order to go down and all the ships rush me, and under no circumstances will let those despicable heretics escape! ”

Just when the Blade of Allah was taken by "Said. When the infidels on the "Wan Ge Su" (Pu Abu guessed, the Heavenly Sect would never be so despicable, and those who did this must be infidels) seized it, Pu Abu really hated it so much that he even had to bite off a yellow tooth.

Heretics are so despicable! actually disguised himself as the noble Said to deceive the kind and simple Heavenly Sect warriors, and he, a particularly kind naval governor, was really fooled. Not only did he get into a three-masted Arab galley warship, but he also came with two additional bows of the Ghulam navy.

Those two are the best sailors in the Pu family! It's so inexplicably gone, it's really distressing - in fact, Puab doesn't know how to fight water wars, and the developed Arab lords will not fight for a long time. They either raised Ghulam warriors to fight for themselves, or they were simply usurped by the Turks or Ghulam warriors.

The governor of Puab was no exception, neither leading the charge nor directing the battle. Each time he entered the battle, he was supervised from a safe distance on the "Sea of Allah", and Yusufu issued battle orders.

And the Ayub on the Blade of Allah was often responsible for charging into battle, leading the way with warships. Over the years, relying on the command of You Sufu and the charging of Ayubu, the Pujia naval army has hardly encountered opponents in the Srivijaya area.

But this time, Puab's right-hand man was cut down at the same time!

So he had no choice but to go into battle and command himself.

"Master, it is impossible for the infidels to have only one warship, there must be their brigade nearby!"

Yu Sufu's deputy, a forty-year-old Gulam named Salam, reminded Pu Apu at this time: "And we are now in a headwind, and if the enemy attacks from the north, it will inflict great losses on us." ”

There are four main ways to fight naval warfare in this year, one is to engage in broadside warfare; the second is to project various weapons, such as bows and arrows, spears, and incendiary bombs; the third is impact; Fourth, arson boats.

The entrance to the Sriwijaya Strait is relatively spacious, and arsonists are of little use. So all that's left is to catch the gunwale, throw and ram.

And the tailwind or headwind can be the difference between life and death in a collision battle!

"Where is the enemy's brigade?" "Is there a find on the mast?" ”

"......No," Salam said, "but they must be nearby!" ”

"Can they spot us, then?" Puab asked again.

"Probably not."

"That's not it!" "We can't see them, and they can't see us...... Maybe not at all! ”

"Untouchable" situations exist in both land and naval battles, and the ocean is more common because it is boundless. It often happens that two fleets pass by at sea, and neither of them notices the other.

"Master, the Chinese have something called a rocket that can release fire in the air." "Plus, they can set the True Blade on fire." ”

"So what?" Pu Abu said disdainfully, "As long as you are far away, you won't be so soon...... Since the clairvoyance on our mast cannot see the enemy's brigade, the sentries on their masts cannot see Said as well. Wan Ge Su. In this way, there is no way to accurately grasp the distance and course! ”

That's right.

Now there are no GPCs or anything, not even quadrants, sextants, or theodolites. Nautical positioning is a big problem, basically looking at the stars, the sun, the moon, the land, at most a compass and hourglass (to determine the time) to see.

In such a situation, it is understandably difficult for a large fleet to track a warship from visual distance. Even if you don't lose it, the distance is difficult to control. As long as it is more than 100 miles, even the slender Arabian galleys have to run for two hours at the fastest - the fastest speed of the large warships on the sea in these years is six or seven knots, almost an hour to run 256 kilometers, that is, about 50 miles. Even a sentry with astonishing eyesight is unlikely to spot such a distant fleet in good visibility.

So Puab's analysis is completely correct!

"Master," Salam thought for a moment, and then suggested, "Let the Spear of Allah, the Sword of Allah, the Fire of Allah, and the Wisdom of Allah collide!" ”

"Collision?" Puab turned his head and glared at Salaam, "That's two big galleys!" ”

The Blade of Allah and Said. The Wan Ge Su is two very good large galleys, and the price will certainly not be cheap. How distressing is it to be broken? And both ships were built in Guangzhou, using the Arabian keel technology and the Chinese water trap technology. The sinking resistance is very good, and it is difficult to sink into it.

In addition, ships operating along the coast of the South China Sea and China did not have ramming angles (they were not specially designed warships, but warships converted from merchant ships), and it was not easy to sink a warship with keels and water compartments, and its own bow would suffer serious damage.

So Pu Abu was a little distressed - his fleet was not owned by the Srivijaya Kingdom, but the private property of the Pu family. Those who carry "Allah" in the name of the ship belong to the Pu family of the Three Buddhas, and those who do not carry "Allah" belong to the Pu family of Guangzhou. In other words, the Sriwijaya Pujia only has a total of more than 20 warships, and if one is sunk and four are injured this time, it will be a heavy loss.

Puab ordered: "Let the Spear of Allah, the Sword of Allah, the Fire of Allah and the Wisdom of Allah go up to fight the broadside." Be sure to kill all the infidels!

Except for the Sea of Allah, the rest of the warships went to the northern sea of the battlefield, with the Damascus as the leader, forming a horizontal team to be responsible for the vigilance! ”

……

"It's just that the Pu family's fleet has taken the bait! They are besieging Said. Wan Ge Su! ”

On the "God of Light", the flagship of the Great Song Mission's fleet, Hu Yanqing, the Nanyang inspection envoy, was reporting to Ji Yi the discovery of the lookout post. The lookout post on the "God of Light" is expected to be far away, and of course it can be seen even further.

Therefore, the large fleet led by Ji Yi himself has always been in Said. The Wangesu followed at a distance of about 60 miles.

Ji Yi nodded, then turned his head to look at Wan Sisheng, who was sitting in the cabin drinking tea with him, and said with a smile: "Said, don't worry." Ling Lang has his own protection from Allah, and there will be no danger. ”

Wan Sisheng said: "Mr. Wu Jiang, now that my father and son are both officials of the imperial court, even if they promise the country with their bodies, they should be!" If the dog is not in the king's business, it is also the glory of my Guangzhou Wan family! ”

Ji Yi nodded movingly, and said: "Said really understands the righteousness, and when the envoy returns from Baghdad, he will definitely play the name of the Son of Heaven and then commend Said." ”

Wan Sisheng said: "What are these words? I have received the emperor's favor from my family, and now I finally have a chance to repay it, I should do my best, where do I need to be commended? ”

Ji Yi nodded again, and then said to Hu Yanqing: "Xia Du, you go to command on the Tianli!" Except for the God of Light, all the ships are yours! Hit me hard! Don't be afraid of losses! Don't be afraid to hurt Said. Wanmud! ”
