Chapter 71 Testing the waters

The truth was revealed, a heart distorted by hatred, and even did not hesitate to strangle his brother to death to try to stop the evil deeds, such evil deeds were outrageous, but fortunately, in the end, the villain got the retribution he deserved, and with an order, Mu Chen shouted loudly and suddenly his head was different.

The boatmen worked day and night, the top of the ship was built, everyone had a smile on their faces, touched with their hands, how much sweat and hard work was condensed in it, and the skin on their hands fell off layer after layer, and now it was finally built, and all the hard work at that moment was completely replaced by shock.

The warship plus the dark compartment below has a total of three floors, both in terms of scale and height, it is more than several times larger than the previous warship.

"It's done, it's finally done."

"What is the use of the wooden poles that rise high on both sides and the ropes that are fixed above?"

"The king must have a deep meaning in this way, go quickly."

Zhao Kuo and the others rushed to the waterfront, carefully inspected and nodded again and again, each place was very strong, and the joints of the gaps were properly handled, "Wang, do you want to try it today?" ”

The old boatman stepped forward, and Zhao Kuo nodded, "This king has this intention, so he is tired of preparing for it." ”

The old boatman hurriedly said: "According to the rules of the water family, whenever a new ship enters the water, it must first pay tribute to the water god, so as not to provoke anger and suffer in the future." ”

"Okay, just follow the rules."

The bonfire was lit, the sacrifices were placed neatly, and a group of boatmen stepped forward in turn, with respectful expressions, and most of the changes in the wind and clouds could not be explained by the gods, and the magical water world was also given a mythological color, and the water world was unified by the water god.

Burning incense and sacrificing wine, the old man had words in his mouth, most of them were begging not to be embarrassed in the future, Zhao Kuo stood aside and waited for the sacrifice to be completed and immediately entered the water to test the performance of the big ship.

The wine bowl in the old man's hand spilled out, and the fire was even stronger, "King, the sacrifice has been completed, please board the warship." ”

Zhao Kuo is not polite, the figure jumped up and landed on the ship's board, more than a dozen experienced boatmen waited left and right, once the warship entered the water and quickly entered the dark grid, the soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the warship with both arms, and shouted bursts, the warship is located on the crosswood, so it can reduce the difficulty of entering the water, if it is built on the sand, it must be difficult to enter the water.

The warship was launched, and quickly descended along the slope, and the soldiers moved forward in unison, and a wave of water hit the bow of the ship head-on, and the water splashed everywhere, "Release!" ”

The warship entered the water, it was so magical, the heavy warship was completely floating on the water, and the strength on it still existed and went straight to the middle, and the left and right boatmen entered the water one after another, and drilled into the dark grid according to the prior agreement.

"Rise!"

The oar is more practical than the previous slender bamboo pole, the wide surface fluctuates, the arms exert force, the big ship suddenly shakes, the bow turns and rushes straight to the left, and another force comes, and the warship goes to the right again.

Mu Chen and the others stood on the waterfront and saw clearly, the warship entered the water, breaking through the waves and driving forward, it was spectacular, and they couldn't help but sigh again and again, "With this warship, it can be easily extinguished." ”

"The king has once again created a miracle."

As soon as the words fell, the warship shook from side to side like a drunken man, but fortunately, the bottom of the ship was wide and there were wings built on the left and right, and if an ordinary ship shook like this, it would inevitably capsize.

Zhao Kuo people are on the boat, the distance of the warship is shaking, the body is shaking, the devolution is the surging river water is bottomless, although he knows how to swim in the world, after all, he is in the swimming pool, here is different, the water is too urgent, and the situation in the river is unknown, once he falls into the water, he can not deal with it.

"Stop."

Under the order, the left and right boatmen stopped one after another, and they were also curious, they were good at boating and fishing on the water on weekdays, but now what is going on.

One person threw the oar in his hand aside, "It must be this strange thing, although it is labor-saving, there is always no bamboo pole to use." ”

"Since the king replaces the bamboo pole with this, it must have a deep meaning, so it's better to take a look."

The force was withdrawn, the big ship stopped, Zhao Kuo was protected by the guards and came to the lower level along the wooden ladder, in order to ensure the solidity of the warship when building the dark grid, the left and right sides of the dark grid were completely sealed, so that the dark grid could not achieve unified scheduling, and the timing of the rowing force was completely different, and finally the guide zhì force was deviated, so the warship would keep shaking left and right, and the speed would be affected.

"The King."

Seeing Zhao Kuo coming, Tie Dan hurriedly got up, Zhao Kuo nodded, "You have already felt the situation just now, if you can't follow the unified instructions, there will only be negative forces between them, and it will not be beneficial to the warship at all!" ”

"Negative force, what kind of force is this?"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "You just can't play to the maximum, and you can only ride the wind and waves if you go to one place." ”

"As soon as the king said this, we understood, but unfortunately our vision was limited, and we couldn't see it from such a distance."

"Yes, you can only draw by feeling, this kind of thing is the most error-prone."

"Isn't there an easy way to do it?"

"Yes!" Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something, "If you can't see, you can always hear." ”

"Listen?"

Zhao Kuo nodded, the battle of Handan that day was to issue orders with the sound of drums, and the current dilemma was also solved in this way.

"The drum sounds, the hands are raised, the drum falls, and the oars come out."

"That's a good idea."

"It's still the king who has a way, everyone has to clean their ears and hear clearly."

There was no war drum on the warship, so he simply found a wooden stick, there was a bronze vessel on the ship that was responsible for storage, and the soldier quickly took it, Zhao Kuo nodded, and the man's arm was raised and fell hard, with a bang, almost at the same time all the boatmen raised the wooden oar, and then there was another sound, the wooden oar fell, and the big ship moved forward steadily.

"It's done, it's done."

Everyone on the warship was overjoyed, a seemingly impossible solution was so easy to solve here in the king, and everyone admired King Zhao's ability.

Tie Dan said: "What if you need to change direction in a situation?" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "Brother Tie Dan has thought about it thoroughly, and after going back, he will study it carefully, and integrate the situation that can be encountered on the water with the sound of drums, and as for the boats, the guò flag can be used to convey orders between boats." ”

"King, the Qi warship has been found ahead."

A guard quickly ran down from above, things suddenly changed, and there was no panic on his face, "Change careers immediately." When the order was given, the boatmen turned around, and Zhao Kuo left one person to be responsible for issuing the sailing order, and quickly ran to the top of the ship with the guards.

There was nothing on the wide plank, and there were no crossbowmen with him, this time he was just testing the performance of the warship, and he didn't want to encounter the Qi warship, so he would inevitably suffer.

"There!"

The guard pointed with his hand, Zhao Kuo looked in the direction of his finger, and the shadow of the warship appeared in the distance, and it seemed that he also found that the warship he was on was on and the speed of the other party was significantly faster.

The ship slowly turned around, just as feared that day, the larger the ship, the less agile it became, and it would inevitably be impossible to travel alone without sufficient defense.

On the opposite side came the Qi army led by Qian Feng, Qian Feng lay there motionless, and the wine and beauty he brought completely ignored, originally thought that it would be so easy to travel by boat, but the result was the opposite.

One person walked in quickly, "Lord Xiangguo, I found a big guy on the water." ”

Qian Feng just turned over, "Big guy, how big is it!" ”

"At least four of them are that big."

"Can you see clearly?"

The sight of the fog on the water was inevitably affected, and the soldier hurriedly said: "I have seen clearly, not far from the waterfront of Zhao State, it should be a Zhao State warship." ”

Qian Feng's body jumped up, this kind of action was the easiest in the past, but now it is on the water, and he has not eaten for a day, and his body almost fell down, "Go and see." ”

Qian Feng covered his chest, that feeling could be reduced, and quickly came to the bow of the ship with his own soldiers, although the distance was still clear, the behemoth stood on the water, like a small island, with protruding wings on both sides, far exceeding the height of the warship he was riding.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, this is the warship of the Zhao Kingdom, attack at full speed, and you must sink the opponent before he returns."

"Xiangguo, after all, this is the place of the Zhao people, so aggressive, how to get out once surrounded by the other party."

Qian Feng sneered, "That's because you don't understand Zhao Kuo, this person is bold and careful, and he doesn't follow common sense, such a behemoth must be built by Zhao Kuo, the water is not as good as the ground, and there is no place to ambush the soldiers, the other party only has one warship, it must have just been built, how can such fat be lost, execute it immediately." ”

Qian Feng's eyes lit up, he knew each other very well after several fights, the previous attack was successful, and the Zhao people had to give up because they couldn't pursue it, but now it's only a few months, even if Zhao Kuo has the ability, he can't build a naval army that can compete with Qi, looking at the scale in front of him several times that of his own warship, he couldn't help laughing, "How can Zhao Ren's gift be unwanted." ”
