Chapter 45: Shit

Countless Qin army warships have covered the water, and now they have covered Daze. The two armies of Zhao and Wei were almost all horse-wing warboats, and the two armies had 243 warships with wings, and the coalition forces had as many as 419 warships at one time. The Ba people are not unfamiliar with water warfare, the Ba people's war boats are not three-oared and winged, they are all old-style single-oared war boats, and some of them are still big boats that cannot be hit, but they choose not to retreat.

No refund! Hunting together can eat meat together, this is the most simple truth. Only by fighting with the Chu people, the Zhao people, the Yue people, and the Wei people can the Ba people have a place after the war, and can they restore the Ba country and revive the glory of the Ba people - the Ba people have not forgotten the blood feud with the Qin people, and they have never forgotten that the king of the Chu people was defeated by their ancestors, so that they could not return to their palace.

Chengtong's military order was issued, with Chu Yue as the central army, Zhao Wei as the left army, and Ba as the right army. The Chinese army had 176 warships, of which 100 were in the front line in a horizontal formation, and the other 76 were used as youguque; The left army has 243 warships, because the width of Daze is limited, only 160 warships can be discharged on the left, and the remaining 83 are the same as the Chinese army, as a tour; The right army had the largest number of boats, numbering nearly three hundred, and these single-oared war boats lined up two horizontal formations, occupying all the space on the right side.

The armies of Zhao and Wei and the Ba people entered the ranks in the sound of drums, and the Qin army's warships were also rapidly forming formations. The northern end of Osawa is narrow, and the rear warships must quickly fill the gaps on both sides caused by the widening of Osawa. Seeing that the battle boats of the Chu army were about to finish the formation a few miles away, Zhao Ying on the flagship in the rear suddenly ordered to beat the drums, and the flag waved quickly, and the Qin army boat in the front rushed quickly to the sound of drums.

"General Yu, Yoshiya!" The Qin army had already rushed forward, and the Chu army on the flagship had just finished divination.

Daze rose from the northeast and blew to the southwest, and the Qin army's war boats fought in the wind, but the coalition forces all closed their sails due to leeward. The Qin people's sails were bulging, and the water splashed in the ups and downs of the wood pulp on both sides, and the whole boat array was like a long wall carried by countless centipedes. When the long wall hit, the drumming of the array stopped, and the northeast wind carried the autumn rain and hit Chengtong's face.

"Gee?" He finally laughed and nodded again, "Good! ”

With a smile, the news of the formation of the Ba Shi came out, and he drew his sword while nodding, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the long wall that attacked: "Enter ——! ”

"The General Has an Order: Enter the ——!" The military officer quickly pointed the feather forward, and the flag man kept waving the flag to the left and right. When the flagship where Chengtong was located began to row, the drums of more than 500 warships were all beaten, and the drums and the drums of the Qin people were mixed and reflected, shaking the entire Tianchi Daze.

The ship advanced, and the corporal on the deck rowed vigorously the pulp. Unlike the Qin army's hammer paddling with the navigator, they controlled the speed according to the orders of the boat officials, and the boat officials were on par with the generals of the formation, and the boat was fast if the boat was fast, and the boat was slow if the boat was slow. More than 500 warships were displayed on Daze, and as the Chinese flagship accelerated, the left and right wings also accelerated.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the speed of the warboat is getting faster and faster. The boatman on the armor shouted loudly.

"Collect the oars!!" The soldiers in the boat warehouse immediately stopped the oars, and the wooden oars were lifted and quickly put into the boat.

Unlike the direct collision of the single-oared warship, the battle between the three-oared warship is still developed in two ways: one is the Romans, who are unfamiliar with water warfare, they lack the skill of interspersing maneuvers and ramming, and can only use crow hangs to hook the enemy, turning water battles into a land battle;

The other is the ramming tactics of the Athenians, which are directly interspersed if they cannot maneuver to the enemy's flank. Interspersed is not a collision with the enemy's warship, but a collision is the same end. Interspersed is to cut off the opponent's wood pulp, lose the wood pulp The enemy loses at least half of the power, and the speed and agility are not as good as their own.

The two ships were less than fifty paces apart to the sound of drums, and the crossbows and archers on the deck began to shoot. The wooden oars accelerated to take off and land, and the speed of the warship reached the fastest. Just when the two boats were about to collide, the warships of the Chu and Yue armies suddenly retracted their oars, and at the same time, the boatmen on the deck quickly turned the rudder behind the deck with arrows and iron bullets. The rudder is very sensitive at high speeds, and as soon as the rudder turns the bow, it deviates from the existing course, and the stern grabs the bow of the opponent, and the front ramming angle shaves off the wooden oars on the enemy's side.

The Qin people on the deck watched as the enemy deviated from course and did not collide with their own side, and the boat officials also gave the order to turn. Then the command is not an action, and steering with the tail rotor is several beats slower than with the rudder. By the time the bow began to turn, the enemy's ramming angle was already sharpening the wooden oars, which were making a piercing 'click' sound.

"Hooray! Banzai! Long live the ......", including the flagship where Chengtong was located, most of the Chinese army's warships quickly turned by relying on the rudder advantage before colliding, and broke the oars from the side of the Qin warships. Listening to the extremely pleasant sound of broken oars, the more than 40,000 Chu Yue soldiers who were paddling in the warehouse couldn't help but burst out into a shout of long live. The enemy broke one oar, and when he finished maneuvering, they were like fish on the board, and they were left to slaughter.

"Drop the oar! Drop the oar! Before the boatman's order came, the oars on both sides fell rapidly, but strangely enough, the warboat continued to row forward, and did not immediately turn back to ram the enemy boats, which had lost half of their power.

"General, the enemy oarsmen have good paddling skills, and they can make a sudden turn at the last moment and hit our oars......" On the deck of the flagship of the Qin army, Zhao Ying stood Magas and Wuji and others. They set out from Yongcheng in the middle of the night, chased the southbound boat master, and finally boarded Zhao Ying's flagship before the decisive battle. Zhao Ying was the general who commanded this battle, and Magas and Armenas were only equivalent to the advisors of the shogunate.

The widest width of Tianchi Daze was less than twenty miles, and like the coalition army, the Qin army's war boats could not be fully opened. The front rush led by the right general Tian Pu was behind the enemy's first array, and there was also a slightly shorter second array of warships led by Yang Duan and his relatives; Behind the second array led by Yang Duanhe is the third array led by Zhao Yingqin. The Qin army's warships all fought in the wind, because of the blockage of Fang Fan, Chu Yue's boat officials who passed through the first boat formation saw the two boat formations behind the Qin people.

"So what are we going to do?" Wuji, who was called up in the middle of the night, thought that he was being arrested by the Tingwei Mansion, but later learned that he was going to go to the battlefield. With a pale face, he interpreted for Zhao Ying and Magas and others.

"We must immediately merge the ships on both fronts, line them out in a tighter formation, and prevent them from performing their excellent paddling skills with a head-on impact......" Magas and Armenas consulted a few words, and gave his advice.

The Qin army could not engage in broadside battles like the Spartans or the Romans. Their oarsmen were all missing a foot, which limited them to broadside combat. It is reported that the oarsmen of the enemy army are all soldiers, and once they are engaged, two or three hundred soldiers of the enemy ship, including the oarsmen, will beat their own troops to the point of howling wolves.

"What do you mean by Bai Di people?" The northeast wind was sandwiched with the autumn rain, and it was inevitable that not only his face was pale, but his body was also shaking. But what is more painful than the body is the tormented heart. He heard that the Song Vara had died, and that this stranger who was not a Xia man had died for the freedom of the Xia people, but he, a Xia man, was helping the Qin people defeat the Chu army.

The Chu army in front was shouting long live, and Zhao Ying's displeased gaze stared at his face, enduring his unhappiness.

"Bai Di people say..., it means that the general needs ... It is necessary to slam the thorn head-on to make it ...... so that it is impossible to perform the oarsman's skills. The answerer's body trembled even more, and he began to burp for some reason. His head was also lowered, avoiding Zhao Ying's gaze.

"Really?" No one understood Greek, and Magas and Armenas could not understand the Xia language. Zhao Ying was a little suspicious when he heard this, which means that he didn't say it. Just now, Tian Pu was head-on with the Jing people, but this was only useful for the left and right flanks of the Jing people, and it was useless for the Chu Yue war boats of the Chinese army.

"That's true." Wu Ji restrained his trembling and mustered up the courage to meet Zhao Ying's gaze.

"General, General Yang in front...... Bai Di taught the Shaofu craftsmen how to build three-oared war boats, and also taught the boat masters how to contact in wartime, and the messenger relayed Yang Duanhe's inquiry in front.

"Herald: Hit it again, attack!" Zhao Ying said viciously, he didn't have any other tactics, this was not the boat division war he was familiar with. After the order was given, the second boat formation began to row forward.

Not all warships can cut off the oars of the Qin people's boats and pass through the Qin army's boat formation, although the warships of the Zhao and Wei armies on the left wing are also equipped with rudders, but the warboats and boats who are negligent in water warfare cannot grasp the opportunity to turn and change direction. The warships either turned too big or turned too late, and the vast majority of the one hundred and sixty warships collided with the oncoming Qin warboats;

On the right wing, poverty made the Ba people have no money to buy Chu war boats, and their self-made old wings have no rudders. They also disdained the rowing skills of the Chu Yue war boat, and rushed up and fought on the side, which was what the Ba people were thinking about.

The left and right wings of the warship collided with the warboat, and the soldiers on the deck crossed the side to attack the enemy soldiers, and the water under their feet was boiling, and the fighting on the deck was also boiling. Only nearly 100 Chu-Yue warships of the Chinese army passed through the formation, and after discovering the second boat formation of the Qin army, these warboats quickly assembled.

Seeing that the second array of his own side stepped forward, but the third array he was in did not come forward to merge with it, listing a tighter array. Magas looked at Wu Ji and asked, "Why don't you merge immediately and line up a tighter formation?" ”

"The general thinks that the failure of the first array is all caused by you, and your suggestions are all shit! He doesn't want to listen to any of your suggestions anymore. He said that he alone could defeat the Chuni fleet. Wu Ji, who no longer trembled, returned to his previous calm appearance, and said dirty words with a smile on his face.

"He ......" Magas heard as if he had been struck by lightning, and he clenched his fists for a while before he exclaimed, "Insult!" It's an insult! I will certainly tell King Qinni that his commander-in-chief of the navy ......"

Magas's shouting alarmed Zhao Ying who was standing in front of him, but unfortunately Zhao Ying couldn't understand what he was shouting. Wu Ji hurriedly said: "My suggestion is to please exercise restraint, according to the laws of Qinni, the commander-in-chief of the navy can kill anyone here, including you, you, and me." ”
