Chapter 73 Preparing for War

Facing more and more Zhao State fishing boats, Qian Feng looked helpless, and the dignified Qi State Navy was finally defeated at the hands of these inconspicuous fishing boats, "Hateful, hateful, Zhao Kuo, one day you will taste defeat." ”

The Qi navy retreated, the dark compartments of the warships were opened, with the sound of knocking the warships slowly landed, the left and right fishing boats followed, on a warship, a person holding a broadsword, the soldiers of the Qi army were killed under his feet, and the blood kept flowing out of the wounds.

"Resistant, die!"

On the side of the warship, the four people with sharp blades looked flustered, and when they looked sideways, the warships sailed away one after another, and they were completely abandoned.

Four people against one person, the odds were originally in hand, especially a tired person, Mu Chen was carrying a broadsword, the warship shook his body and barely stood firmly, he couldn't fall, once he fell, he would definitely not be able to stand up, and he could only be slaughtered by others.

"We've dropped."

Bang bang, sharp weapons were thrown on the board of the ship, the battle stopped, several soldiers climbed up along the rope, Mu Chen pointed with his hand, "Look after these people, the warship is docked." ”

The sunset reflected a golden light, falling on the water, the original beauty was completely broken by the war, shattering the warship, floating corpses, and the clouds slowly covered the water and suddenly became a little more bleak.

Mu Chen's whole person leaned on there and gasped for breath, he didn't want to fight on the warship so hard, while dealing with the opponent's attack, he also had to take into account the changes that would happen at any time, and watched the soldiers go down with Qi Bing and sit on the ground.

The warship docked, the old shipwright quickly stepped forward, Zhao Kuo and others quickly got off the ship, and the injured guards were treated without many casualties.

"Look, my lord."

Zhao Kuo turned around, and a total of four warships, two large and two small, slowly approached, one of which was obviously dilapidated and could only barely maintain, and it was the big ship that hit and finally overturned the small boat.

Mu Chen, Bai Ying and the soldiers jumped off the warship one after another, and walked a few steps to the front, Zhao Kuo nodded, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, so it was enough, and the feelings were more in mind than on the lips.

"What about the casualties?"

"More than ten people were killed and wounded, but fortunately, I got a few warships back."

"Check it out."

The warships of the Qi country are quite impressive, the small ships are fast and flexible, and the medium-sized warships can quickly line up to launch an offensive, but in comparison, the large warships are of limited use, of course, it depends on the use of the troops on them.

Zhao Kuo came to the front to take a closer look, one small boat was intact, the other was almost unusable, the small boat hull was long and narrow, and the sides were pointed, so that it could quickly change direction, and it was perfect for water reconnaissance.

The medium-sized warships of the Qi State are also particular, compared with the records in the book, they have been improved, the thickened plates on both sides should be increased, and the long rod left on the ship, the head of the long rod has a crossbar, once it is close, you can use the rod to hook the soldiers on the boat, Zhao Kuo waved it in his hand, it was very light, "This is a good thing." ”

"King, this is called a lever, it was originally used for fishing, and I don't want Qi people to use it as a weapon."

"Every step of human development is to learn from nature, what we use in our hands, what we wear on our bodies, some things seem useless, as long as the combination is reasonable, it can often burst out with unimaginable power."

"What the king said is that after inspection, the big ship is slightly damaged, and it will definitely be restored to its original state after repair."

Zhao Kuo nodded, he almost suffered a big loss, but fortunately, Mu Chen, Bai Ying and others came to help in time, otherwise they would inevitably fall into danger, "Old man, can you build a warship like this?" ”

Zhao Kuo was referring to the captured Qi warship, and the old man nodded, "Yes." ”

"Okay, it is inevitable that the Qi country will invade my border again, and the only way to do this is to increase the number of craftsmen and quickly complete the naval army."

Zhao Kuo intends to create an elite naval army, here is not as good as the northwest, the waterway is extremely smooth, one of the most urgent problems to be solved is in front of Zhao Kuo, craftsmen, just these people in the village, want to build a hundred ships on the warship I am afraid it will take more than ten years, Zhao Kuo can not wait, the spies sent back the news, the Qin State raised troops to attack Chu, the general Meng Tian Lianke several cities, the Chu army can only hold on to Gaocheng, once the Chu State loses its deterrence to Qin, the peak duel between the two great powers of Zhao and Qin is inevitable, and what needs to be solved before this is the Qi State.

"Bai Ying, immediately bring people back to Handan, bring more craftsmen, and bring all the people from the military alliance here."

"The king is at ease."

Bai Ying couldn't take care of the tiredness and led people to ride back to Handan, the previous battle was extremely expensive, and he took a few soldiers to defeat dozens of Qi troops and finally capture the warship.

Mu Chen got up from the ground, his armor was covered with dust, and he was too anxious to fall into the water when he set off, but fortunately he was rescued in time, and seeing Bai Ying riding away from the unknown So, he quickly came to the front, "King, what are Bai Ying going to do?" ”

"Go back to Handan."

"It takes a lot of time to come and go!"

Zhao Kuo nodded, "How did you feel about the first battle?" ”

Mu Chen sighed, "I don't need any strength to dangle on the water, it's really uncomfortable." ”

"It's good to get used to it, the real water war is far more cruel, and many things have to be taken into account."

"Mu Chen prefers to ride a horse to kill, that's called a pleasure."

"There is a specialization in all arts, and there is still a lack of someone in the camp who can lead the naval army."

Zhao Kuo's voice was not loud, and the person next to him could indeed hear it clearly, it was Tie Dan, who had a plan in his heart, and stepped forward quickly, "King, Tie Dan is willing to share worries for the king!" ”

"Brother Iron Egg knows the art of water warfare?"

Tie Dan shook his head, "I have never learned the tactics of war, but I have been on the water since I was a child, and I know a lot about boating and crossing the water. ”

"This king wrote down, and after the naval army is completed, it will be dealt with as appropriate, and this king has always used talent as a person."

"Iron Egg Xie King."

Zhao Kuo stepped forward, Tie Dan's expression was firm, for the sake of Xiuzhu, and also for himself, he must make achievements.

Two months have passed, after some research, the warships obtained from the Qi State have been improved, the speed of the small ships is faster, the offensive means of medium-sized warships have also been optimized, and the big cars are approaching, and the person at the head is Bai Ying, who rushed back to Handan to find the leader of the military alliance to explain the king's intentions.

Blackbeard didn't dare to delay, leaving some people to continue building weapons, and the rest of the craftsmen hurried day and night with tools and a lot of supplies, and finally reached the waterfront on this day.

"The King."

"Brother Heihu, you will be relieved as soon as you come to this king."

"The king's order does not dare to delay, after General Bai comes, pack up and set off immediately."

"This king wants to build an invincible sailor here." Zhao Kuo's eyes fell on the rolling river in front of him, and it was not enough to rely on cavalry bows and crossbows to complete the hegemony.

"The king has the world in his heart, and he must be able to do it!" After Hei Hu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the waterfront, and he couldn't help but admire again and again, "What a big warship." ”

Heihu is well-informed, and his original business was to sell weapons everywhere, and he also knows something about warships, but it is the first time he has seen the behemoth in front of him.

"Go up and take a look."

Everyone boarded the warship, Heihu carefully inspected, and the subtleties were also examined one by one, and he couldn't help nodding again and again, "The design is unique, it must be from the hands of the king, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it is a rare good ship." ”

"The ship is strong, the defensive power is sufficient, but what is lacking is aggression, and only a combination of both can give the opponent a fatal blow."

Heihu also nodded, "The high places on both sides can be equipped with bows and crossbows, as for the empty space below, I don't know how the king is going to equip them?" ”

"This king intends to equip a giant crossbow here."

"Giant crossbow!"

Hei Hu's eyes slowly closed, it is completely conceivable that a huge warship appeared, several warships appeared head-on, and the huge bow and crossbow above the board of the ship slowly pulled away, and the warship approached, with a whistling sound, and all the places it passed penetrated.

"How?"

"The king's decision is always a surprise, and if the warship is equipped with a giant crossbow, he will surely be able to conquer the seas one day."

"Since the Heihu brothers are in favor, this king's confidence has doubled."

"Blackbeard immediately ordered someone to start building."

Zhao has the conditions to build a giant bow and crossbow, during the Battle of Changping, a giant crossbow was arranged at the top of the mountain, more than a dozen people worked together to pull it away, the powerful bow and crossbow can instantly penetrate the armor of the soldiers, and the powerful power even made the Qin army frightened, and now it is used on the warship, compared with the bow and crossbow used in the hands of the soldiers, the range is longer, and the power is more powerful.

With the participation of all the soldiers in the military alliance to build warships, the speed of the construction of warships increased significantly, and Qian Feng fled back, losing six warships and nearly more than 100 soldiers.
