Chapter 236: The first water battle between Xiangcheng and Zeguo

Xie Linlang's arrogance made the people of Ze people amazed. They have a total of 500 warships, 150,000 naval forces, and a small city in her area. There is no decent navy. What does she use to fight?
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Ze Guo's general didn't say anything. Since this great Qin's number one talent toast does not eat or drink fine wine, then they don't need to cherish talents, just crush them!
The three Zejun warships retreated, and then just listened to the sound of the horns. In the rear ship camp, hundreds of light warships rushed out!
In addition to sails, these warships also have a three-layer oar design, in which dozens of people are commanded to paddle.
In an emergency, the commander can use the technique of paddling to make the boat turn sharply in a circle, or go backwards or sprint, with strong mobility.
The opponent's combat method is very straightforward, that is, sending heavy troops to suppress the battle!
If Xie Linlang had any large-scale long-range attack weapon, it would have limited lethality for such a small light ship.
If Xie Linlang does not have a corresponding weapon, then Ze State's navy can rush ashore at the fastest speed and occupy the Red River Valley.
Seeing this, Xie Linlang put down the binoculars, then raised his right hand, making a fist.
When the drum master next to her saw this, he started playing drums!
Triple and one light, three times in a row.
Amid the dull drums, ten large warships soon sailed out of the Wanjiang Gorge behind the Red River Valley!
It is said that they are warships, but they are actually cargo ships. Xiangcheng owns more than a dozen large ships, most of which have been modified and used here.
Although it is a cargo ship modification, these ships look very powerful!
I saw that they had tall "beating rods" on the front, back, left and right, and huge rocks were tied to the top of the rods. As long as an enemy ship approached, just suddenly put down the rods, and the power of the rocks would destroy the enemy ship.
The design principle of this design is actually the same as the catapult, except that the catapult is used for long-range combat, which is close combat.
There is also a wheel under the rod, which can adjust the angle of smashing, making this melee weapon more flexible.
This is also the best weapon to deal with light warships, because light warships have shallow draft and poor stability. It is possible to smash a heavy gap when the pole is shot, not to mention overturning.
In addition, Xie Linlang's big ship also has a three-layer oar design, and the speed is not too far behind, so she is looking forward to the result of the two battles.
When Ze Jun saw Xie Linlang's weird big ship, he didn't know what it was for at first, and he kept rushing forward, intending to pass directly through the big ship's camp and go to the opposite side.
Unexpectedly, when they passed by, the rod on the big ship was hit hard like the captain had taken his hand, and they were caught off guard!
This weird way of fighting stunned the enemy!
Generally speaking, traditional water warfare is to use boats to rush, to shoot with crossbows, and then to fight in close combat. They had never seen Xie Linlang like this before.
Because he hadn't seen it before and lacked a way to deal with it, Ze Jun's first round of assault was quickly photographed by Xie Linlang's boat!
In a burst of screams, more than a dozen ships were directly sunk!
With such a rapid offensive, the remaining ships began to retreat in fear.
So the first official confrontation between the two sides, Xie Linlang wins!
Xie Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of rod was seen in history books when she was studying before, and it was used by the Sui Dynasty.
Because of the simple principle, she talked to the craftsman and made it. At present, it seems that the lethality is not bad.
In the afternoon, Ze Jun attacked again!
This time they changed their strategy and sent more than a dozen super large siege ships!
This kind of ship can carry a thousand soldiers! And at its front end, there is a siege pillar wrapped in iron.
The tip of the pillar is tapered, looking heavy and majestic!
This is a warship specially designed to conquer a floating fortress. In a downwind situation, it only needs to hit a place several times to knock out a hole, and then crash the entire fortress!
Daqin didn't have such a siege ship, only Zeguo had such a powerful country on the water.
The advantage of this kind of ship is unstoppable, it carries a lot of troops and can destroy everything!
Its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the draft is too deep and the mobility is poor.
After Xie Linlang judged, he let the previous pole boat retreat.
To deal with this kind of very large warship, her pole boat is very limited, because the opponent can completely ignore her pole and smash her ship with a siege pillar!
And she must make a response as soon as possible, not let this kind of ship get close, otherwise they can easily destroy the water barrier in the Red River Valley, not to mention, they can also send a large number of navy ashore, which is one of Ze Guo's big killers.
That being the case, she also dispatched a killer!
Just listening to her order, in the Wanjiang Gorge, a row of medium-sized cargo ships gushed out.
The only modification of these cargo ships is that each cargo ship is driven by five improved bed crossbows.
The huge arrows used by the bed crossbows are all tied with porcelain bottles with leads.
In the porcelain bottle is Xie Linlang's fierce fire oil prepared with asphalt oil, gasoline, etc.!
The kerosene bomb and the crossbow and arrow are tied together, which can cause direct damage and indirect fire. Moreover, this kind of fire is very difficult and difficult to extinguish. It is a fatal blow to all wooden ships!
More importantly, the bed crossbow has a farther range than the bow crossbow!
Therefore, when Xie Linlang launches an attack, the navy holding bows and crossbows on the enemy's giant ship can only be seen. Good hit!
So what follows is a unilateral fight!
Countless Zeguo naval forces were burned, and successive "rockets" fell on the siege ship, which also caused them a big blow!
In addition, their bows and crossbows did not have enough range, amidst howling, they retreated faster this time!
The ship here in Xiangcheng seized the opportunity, took advantage of the victory, and kept launching "rockets".
In the midst of turmoil, they burned and sunk two Zejun siege ships, which was not a small loss for Ze Guo!
Although not many people died, in a short period of time, Ze Jun, who had a big win, was wounded twice! On the other hand, Xie Linlang had no loss at all...
This made Ze Jun's generals regretful, but also had to face Xie Linlang's enemy more squarely.
She was more difficult to deal with than they thought!
Although Xie Linlang won two rounds, she didn't care about it at all. She stared at the opponent's movements with a telescope, her thin lips pressed slightly.
Speaking of this battle, she actually suffered a lot.
If it's not for the wrong direction, where she needs to be so troublesome, just send the other party a set of "Baili Red Makeup".
It's a pity that the wind didn't help her, she set fire to the water, and the fire would eventually burn in her direction, which was too wasteful.
