Chapter 894: Preserving Heavenly Principles, Destroying Evil Demons Five
It turned out that Wan Sisheng and Wan Mude father and son also became loyal and patriotic good bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty!
Ji Yi and Mo Niangzi are very good at convincing people with virtue, and after they were invited into Huaisheng Temple by Wan Mude that day, they had a good talk with Wan Sisheng and Wan Mude father and son. Then he also warmly invited the Wan family father and son to participate in the mission to the Great Food Country and go to Baghdad to meet the Caliph of the Heavenly Sect together.
The father and son of the Wan family accepted the invitation at that time, and also expressed their willingness to do their part for the long-standing friendship between the officials and peoples of the two countries of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Food.
Then Ji Yi proposed to borrow the warship Said of the Wanjia family in Guangzhou. Wan Gesu's request was naturally agreed to by the Wan family's father and son.
Therefore, Ji Yi can make himself the head of the water army in Said. A trap was laid on the Wan Ge Su, and the Blade of Allah of the Pu family was overshadowed.
But Said. The mission of the Wan Ge Su has not yet been completed, and it has to hold on for another two hours, until the main fleet led by Ji Yi arrives, and the mission can be considered a successful completion.
It's not easy!
"Mo Niang, you quickly take Said into the cabin to hide!"
"Order everyone to evacuate from the enemy ships, and don't forget to cut off the mainmast and throw all the oars away......"
"What? Captive? There is no need for prisoners, all the slave oarsmen who can fight with us are brought back, and those who can't are thrown on the ship! ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up the Eight Ox Crossbow!"
"Prepare to burst the rocket!"
"Where's the fire tank? Hurry up and put one in front of starboard, be careful! That's a little bit! ”
"Muto kinichi, can your people still fight? Where did this Kunlun slave come from? ”
"Report to the inspection, this Kunlun slave is a slave oarsman on the enemy ship, good at throwing spears! Can you get him to join the Shinsengumi? ”
"Good at throwing spears? That's an errand......"
Said. At this time, the Wan Ge Su was in a hurry to prepare for battle! The battle against the Blade of Allah can be said to be surprisingly smooth, and the battle has ended before the surrounding Celestial Sect warships can react.
However, solving the Blade of Allah is only the beginning, and there are at least twenty Heavenly Sect warships around it - more than fifty warships of Puab's fleet are scattered over a large area of sea at this time, and it is not easy to concentrate them all. Therefore, there are only more than 20 Heavenly Sect warships that can really participate in the battle immediately.
Even if the signal from the Sea of Allah through the burning ship (carried by the Sea of Allah) can be seen, it will take some time to arrive.
But these more than 20 Heavenly Sect warships are enough for Said. The Vango Su coped for a while.
But Cheng Gui also has a trump card in his hand! In addition to the ironclad samurai and the "children's new selection group", Hu Yanqing also allocated 12 eight-bull crossbows, 200 burst rockets, and two fierce fuel tanks to Said. Wan Ge Su.
Bursting rockets are amazing! There is a secret weapon developed by the professors of the Yuntai School Palace Physics Research Room, which took tens of thousands of dollars and several years to develop—particle gunpowder! During this period, there were several explosions, and two professors were injured at work! This is still an achievement obtained on the premise that Wu Haogu contributed to the general direction of making granular gunpowder.
However, having granular black powder (due to the poor purity of sulfur and saltpeter, so the power did not reach the maximum) did not mean that the Great Song Dynasty could run into the era of hot weapons.
Because to make a bomb out of black powder, you have to solve the problem of casting the shell - which is much more difficult than making black powder! If the quality of the shell is not up to par, the gunpowder cannot be fully detonated, and it cannot be broken into multiple fragments to cause damage.
If you want to build guns and cast cannons, there are more technical difficulties to be solved. The barrel is simply black technology! By the time Wu Haogu dies, he may not be able to make it. As for the bronze barrel, it can be cast—Wu Haogu has already given instructions for research and development—but I don't know how many days it will take to solve the problem of cannon breeching?
However, black powder is not useless, and the professors of the equipment department of the Cavalry Academy and the Ship Master Academy have developed a burst rocket with black technology.
This burst rocket is actually a "giant arrow" fired from an eight-bull crossbow, similar in size to a short spear. However, the barrel of the gun is specially processed, and the part near the tip of the gun is hollow, and it is filled with granulated black powder, and cotton thread soaked in nitrate water is used as a lead. Igniting the fuse before launching or throwing it, although the wooden-hulled burst rocket doesn't have much damage after exploding, but the momentum is still quite scary.
As for the fierce fire oil tank, it is a flamethrower of the Song Dynasty! Light oil is used, and the ejected oil is ignited with gunpowder or something else, and the enemy ships are set on fire.
However, this thing is a bit dangerous, and it will set your own ship on fire. Therefore, Hu Yanqing only took out two fierce fire oil tanks from the equipment warehouse of the Coastal City Shipping and Purchase Division, and now they are all given to Said. Wan Ge Su.
……
"Big black man, stand up, now put on leather armor for you, why can't you reach it, how do you look like a person? It's so high, is it sick? …… Don't hug me, I'm not a child! Baga! ”
Obaha saw the "big Chinese boy" Muto bring a leather armor that looked very large, and seemed to want to put it on himself, but he couldn't reach it...... He simply picked him up and sat him down on the folded sail.
Muto had no choice but to scold and help Obaha put on leather armor and fasten an iron helmet on the big black man's head. Then he pointed to a bundle of bursting rockets on the deck next to him and said, "Yours, take the rockets and follow mine!" Be sure to listen to my command, let your throw, your talent throw! Otherwise, you're going to die! Dead! ”
Obaha didn't understand a word, but he could read the gestures, so he went over and slung a bundle of exploding rockets over his shoulder.
Muto nodded in satisfaction and jumped off the sails, "Misai! Big black man, follow me, let's go to the side of the ship to ambush now! You must listen to me, you know? ”
Obaha's comprehension was still quite strong, and he immediately understood what was going on—he must have thrown a spear!
Throw it, and maybe even roll a noble title......
"Enemy ships are approaching! Squatting ......"
Obaha had barely crouched down against the port board when he heard someone shouting. Most of the warriors on the deck squatted down with Obaja when they heard this, and pulled the ropes that were tied to the deck. Only the soldiers guarding the Eight Ox Crossbow and the Fierce Fire Oil Tank leaned down on the Eight Ox Crossbows, and their eyes were fixed on the approaching enemy ships in the distance.
At this time Said. The oars of the Vangsu began to shake with all their might, and the ship began to turn northward, drawing a beautiful arc on the water, as if trying to flee north.
But how could the ships of the Heavenly Sect let Sayyid go. Wan Ge Su? The Spear of Allah, the Sword of Allah, the Fire of Allah and the Wisdom of Allah have now rushed to Sa'id. The Wan Ge Su was only three or four miles away on the sea - at this time, the north wind was blowing on the sea, and the warships of the Heavenly Fang Sect were in the south, so it was against the wind and retrograde, and it was not difficult to understand that the speed could not go up. If it had been a tailwind, they would have rushed to Saeed. The Vange Su came along.
"Bow of the ship, the heretics are on the run!"
At the head of the four "Truths" is the Spear of Truth, whose bow Saleh is also a brave Gulam warrior, who is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and has been serving on the Pujia warship since he was 21 years old. From a brawler to the bow of the ship!
In the system of the Pujia Water Army, he is the second strongest general after Ayub! Now Ayub is very likely to go to heaven, so he is the number one warrior of the Pu family.
Thinking of the tragic death of Ayub's brother, Saleh was full of anger.
"Warriors of Allah," Saleh said, standing high outside the stern wheelhouse, and delivering a pre-battle speech to the Celestial warriors on the deck below, ready to go, "the sinister, cunning, cowardly infidels are fleeing!" The warriors under the banner of the caliphate are winning! Now is the time to spread the truth with sword and fire and send all enemies to Hellfire!
Long live the Caliphate! Allah is Greater! ”
"Allah is great!"
I wonder if Saleh's speech inspired the slave oarsmen below deck? It seems unlikely! But the Blade of Allah and Sa'id. The distance between the Vango is indeed shrinking rapidly. In less than a stick of incense, the two Arabian warships, which were almost identical in appearance, were almost end to end.
"Steady, steady...... Rush up against their right side! Saleh shouted, "Break the pagan oars!" ”
The so-called "breaking the oars" means that when two warships are moving closely, the oars of both sides will be stirred together and break one after another.
In the case of galleys, when one side of the oar is broken, it can no longer be driven by the oar, and the ship's maneuverability in headwind conditions will be greatly reduced. Although the Spear of Allah could no longer maneuver against the wind, the number of Pujia warships on the sea was superior, and even if the Spear of Allah withdrew from the battle, other ships would be able to defeat Saeed. The Wan Ge Su was taken.
At the same moment, standing Saeed. Cheng Gui on the stern deck of the Wange Su also discovered the intentions of the Blade of Allah.
"Put away the oars on both sides! Get the paddlers ready for hand-to-hand combat! Cheng Gui gave a loud order, and immediately a herald rushed down the oarsman deck.
But before all the oars were put away, the Spear of Allah had already been removed from Saeed. The flanks of the Vangsu slammed up, much faster than expected. That's the benefit of using a slave oarsman – you can do whatever it takes to do anything when it happens, and you can even kill one or two slaves to get the most out of everyone!
Although it was against the wind, the Spear of Allah was still affixed to Said. The flanks of the Wan Ge Su rushed straight ahead, and the distance between the two warships was less than two zhang away, and many of the Saids who had no time to retract them. The Vangelsu suddenly mingled with the oars of the Allah Spear, making a piercing click......
The sea battle with bayonets is about to begin!
