The advent of artillery completely changed the combat mode of naval warfare, and the artillery of both sides became the main form of victory, and also completely abandoned the primitive way of naval combat hand-to-hand, and naval warfare became more tragic and bloody.

Of course, Zhen Qian knows that artillery is the god of war, but unfortunately the processing and casting process of artillery is too complicated, and the small artillery taken away by Wang Peng can't actually be regarded as a real artillery at all, the volume is too small, the power is too small, and even the power of the tiger squat cannon in the Ming Dynasty has not been reached, it can only be regarded as a larger hand, when such a handpiece develops in two directions, arquebuses and artillery also appear.

If primitive naval battles had to be fought in hand-to-hand combat, Zhen Qian would rather choose to avoid a war that consumed a lot of human lives like frontal fighting, which was simply an unacceptable reality for himself.

In this era, I am afraid that only Zhen Qian is thinking about how to conduct naval warfare, of course, this naval battle is not counted as a water battle in the inland river, and he is now just a step ahead in a field that no one understands, and after the navigation technology of the Song Dynasty was further improved, there was a prototype of post-modern naval warfare.

Now the biggest weapon in the naval battle in Zhen Qian's hands is this kind of launcher that can fire fire oil bombs, and the biggest advantage of this launcher is not the firing distance, but the accuracy of the launch.

Fighting in the sea, if the two ships are not close to each other, the distance between them will always change, which does not change with the will of both sides, and with the waves of the sea up and down and swaying left and right, even the most accurate person will not know what kind of relative position the two ships are in the next second, which is completely different from the calm inland river, the target of the attack is swinging, and the target of the shot is also shaking, usually the best way to shoot at this time is to use weapons to carry out indiscriminate covering attacks.

It's a pity that this kind of combat method is not suitable for Zhen Qian for the time being, and there is not much space for the launch racks that can be set up on the Qianshi Sea Ship at all, and the ten launch racks have already covered the entire ship's deck, and it is not possible to achieve the effect of indiscriminate coverage of the attack at all.

However, there are always more ways than difficulties, and the methods that the Tang people can't think of don't mean that they, the future generations, can't solve them.

Zhen Jiu stood at the bow of the ship, his raised arm fell down violently, and he heard the sound of a wooden hammer behind him, and a swarthy ceramic jar flew into the sky, flying in the air for a few breaths before landing less than three meters away from the pirate ship.

"Calibrate the distance, target one hundred and thirty-five steps, ready!"

This time, as Zhen Jiu's order was issued, the ten launchers on the deck of the ship made a tooth-sore "squeak" sound together, and soon someone shouted: "No. 9 is ready!" ”

"Number Two is ready!"

“……”

After Zhen Jiu heard the shouts one after another, the pennant in Zhen Jiu's hand was raised, and he pointed sharply in the direction of the pirate ship, shouting angrily: "Launch!" ”

The sound of "Ping Pong" immediately rang out, and the whistling sound of "whoosh" came from behind Zhen Jiu, this time it was still a swarthy ceramic jar that flew into the sky, just a little more spark flickered strangely on it, and after a few breaths, it flew over the pirate ship, and then there was a faint explosion sound, and the ceramic jar immediately exploded in the sky, with a large cloud of orange-red flames sprinkled towards the pirate ship like a heavenly fire.

This is Zhen Qian's secret weapon: oil bombs, or incendiary bombs, of course, these are still unpurified fierce fire oil, and the purified gasoline is easy to leak and volatilize into the air during long-term transportation because of the sealing, especially in the enclosed space of the ship, it is very easy to cause fire and explosion, so Zhen Qian has basically not ******considered this extremely dangerous weapon now.

Glass bottles with very good sealing properties are already under intense development, and it will not be long before the ****** with greater lethality will be available.

The pirate ship had no chance to taste the power of ******, and the fire oil bomb completely enveloped the entire pirate ship in the moment the pirate ship exploded, and those pirates who were standing on the pirate ship and screaming with all their might, laughed wildly after seeing the first test bullet, and brandished their weapons in their hands without knowing what it was, shouting and mocking loudly in the Japanese language, showing their strength and fierceness.

At this time, the pirates' final madness, when the pirate ship was getting closer and closer to the other party's ship, the pirate's eyes showed a greedy color, in front of him was a thousand stone ship, although the appearance was a little strange, but the price of the thousand stone ship made the pirate excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he had already been impatient to prepare the hook rod and flying claw, as long as he was close to a dozen steps away, there would be countless hook rods and flying claws to hook the opponent's ship, and then jump on the opponent's ship to carry out a massacre.

Many times this group of pirates did this, and they all succeeded, but this time they met Zhen Qian and Zhen Jiu, and they could only be regarded as unlucky.

When the orange flames fell on the pirate ship's head, some pirates who reacted quickly immediately noticed that something was wrong, especially when the flames fell on the body, and the first scream rang out on the pirate ship. Because the weather has begun to get hot, most of the pirates have no clothes on, only a strip of white cloth wraps the unclean things under the crotch, which is not only cool, but also more convenient to move, which is very common among pirates.

As the first screams rang out, more and more pig-killing screams sounded like the evil spirits of hell were wailing, and those seemingly bewitching orange-red flames stained the body of the red stripe, like maggots burning the skin of the tarsal bones, and some pirates slapped with their hands, and the flames immediately spread throughout the body with the slapping.

However, after all ten fire oil bombs exploded in the air above the pirate ship, the pirate's whole body was completely burned, and those pirates who were on fire jumped and jumped on the ship to find a place to hide, only to find that the whole pirate ship was burning, the ship's planks were burning, the mast was burning, and the sails had long since become huge torches, and there were flames everywhere, surrounded by heat waves in the middle.

Soon there were pirates who jumped into the sea from the ship very smartly, one after another jumped into the sea like dumplings, the pirates were not wrong, the pirates who jumped into the water immediately found that the flames on their bodies were gone, but when they surfaced, they were desperate again, the sea was also burning, and those flames floated on the water and became a large piece, as long as they showed their heads, they would be burned by those flames.

"This is the fireball that Zhen Ying used to send the envoy to attack the military camp that night?" Shao Er Dongshang was so shocked that he was almost speechless when he saw the terrifying scene on the sea, his personal experience was completely different from the feeling of being a bystander, at that time, Shao Er Dongshang had already lost his square inch, and he was thinking about leaving the battlefield as soon as possible, and he didn't have much time to see how much damage those fires had done to the army!
