Sweep the World

The sea is no better than the land. The bed crossbow is launched from a sinking and floating warship. It is not an exaggeration if the volley does not hit a single shot, but it is inevitable to be frustrated.

After about a hundred breaths, the Han army launched another salvo from the warship.

This time, the crossbow arrows fired by the seventeen bed crossbows hit four shots, two of which hit the non-flagship of the Gupta Dynasty, and the other two hits the warship with sails, olives and snakes.

The different hit positions of the bed crossbow produced different damage. The bed crossbow that was lased with the burning material, because of the distance, the arrow head nailed to the wood did not cause a penetrating effect, only when it hits the sail. Only when it comes out.

Picard Malik was once again surprised to see that the warships of the unknown forces could hit in the second round of the salvo. The warship he brought out this time was not a battleship in the Gupta dynasty. It was a medium warfare to patrol the sea and territories. ferry.

The marine fleet of the Gupta Dynasty inherited from the Guishuang Empire. Of course, it was a warship with its own bed crossbow. It is very clear that launching a bed crossbow from a battleship and launching a bed crossbow on land are two different things.

"No matter who they are, they are definitely not a small force somewhere." Didjean Kumar didn't think he was talking nonsense: "Their ships are very big and they can carry crossbows. A country with a civilized heritage. There is no such country around us, and the appearance of their ships is not the Roman or Sassanian style that we are familiar with."

Whether it was a strong and powerful Roman period or a declining Rome, in fact, the Romans had always been eating the Greek capital in the ship system. At most, the ship’s hull was enlarged based on the original Greek design. There was nothing. Create new achievements.

Sassanian is another Persian dynasty after the fall of the Parthian Empire. In some respects, the main body of Parthian and Sassanian is Persian ethnicity. There will be no exaggerated deviations in the succession of civilization, army and The construction of the navy is also in the same line. In fact, the Persians did not play well with the navy, and hundreds of years have not made leapfrog progress.

Every civilization has its own imprint, which can usually be distinguished from the appearance of civilization creations. Picard Malik and Djean Kumar have the same cognition, and they have the same understanding of the three warships in front of them. No impression.

The distance between the enemy and us on the sea has always been kept at about two hundred meters. It was because the warships of the Gupta Dynasty wanted to get closer, while the Han warships consciously kept their distance.

"They obviously don't have a long-range weapon over two hundred meters." Fu Wei's inner tension has disappeared, replaced by a self-confidence that adults bully children: "Just keep this distance and kill their combat awareness."

Every one hundred breaths or so, the Han warships will have a salvo. Sometimes as the positions of the two sides change, the orientation of the two sides of the hull changes. The crossbows on different sides of the ship are launched separately, at the bow and The bed crossbow at the stern maintains a salvo.

Liang Min found something and reported: "There is a ship in the enemy fleet leaving."

Fu Wei also discovered this situation. He thought about it for a moment and did not order a pursuit, but his self-confidence that was as stable as Taishan hesitated.

The Han people didn't come to this sea area for a long time. They didn't have a clear understanding of many things. They didn't know how many countries in this sea area could play naval battles. It was not clear how much sea power the Gupta dynasty possessed.

The battleship formation of the Gupta dynasty broke away from a single ship. It was obviously going to leave the battle and return to report. Without sufficient information, the Han battleship formation could not guess when it would return to Hong Kong, and how long it would take it back. How many reinforcements.

The sun in the sky is already in the center to the west. According to Liu Yanxin's timing, it should be around three o'clock in the afternoon?

The daylight in summer is longer than the other three seasons, and the sunset will extend for about an hour. The sea without any cover, the sun will not completely disappear until the sun completely falls into the shoreline on the other side.

"We have about three hours or so." Fu Wei could not be confused and resolutely said: "With three hours as the final time limit, we will leave the battle immediately when the time comes."

To say that there were warships in the Gupta dynasty's formation to leave to find reinforcements, Fu Wei could also assign a ship to leave to seek support. The problem is that the situation of the two sides is really different.

This area of ​​sea is Asan's traditional sphere of influence. The Gupta dynasty's own maritime power is not weak, and their naval port is still relatively close. There must be many warships in the port.

Han is a new force in this sea area, and the sea area is still in the exploratory stage. There is no such thing as a military port. The effective stronghold is also the stronghold of the Pingman Captain's Department.

Fu Wei had originally brought thirty-two ships from the mainland, but five ships were turned in during the journey. The thirty-two ships are not all warships. They are four supply ships (transport ships) carrying logistical materials. The voyages of thousands of miles have also necessitated some ships to be overhauled or maintained. In fact, they are still in the stage of utilization. Of the seventeen ships, five remained in the stronghold, and the remaining three were in a formation, divided into four groups to perform missions.

"We are currently in the position of G. 63." Liang Min looked at the nautical chart intently for a while, holding some rulers and making gestures, while saying: "You can choose the direction of retreat, and there is our second group. Battle formation."

They are relatively close to the continental shelf, and the second formation is further away from the continental shelf. It is summer now, and the southwest wind is blowing from Asanyo. Fu Wei can't directly withdraw to the stronghold if he doesn't want to reveal the location of the stronghold. If the warships of the Gupta dynasty are chasing, they can still find a second formation and unite to fight.

The watchman outside was reporting: "The enemy ship is on fire!"

The command system, which was trying to find a way out before winning, looked out and saw that the sails of an enemy ship were burning. It was the kind that didn’t know where to burn first, and then ignited all the sails. The fire.

"The wind on the sails is lost, and they still have the power of the oars." Liang Min said that, but a smile appeared on his face: "It can't keep up with the speed."

The two formations are always in motion, but they are not staying in place. As they move, different speeds will extend the distance between friendly warships. It is necessary to deliberately maintain the same speed to coordinate movement. Most warships will not sacrifice their ferry to take care of one of them alone. They are destined to follow. Ships that cannot be boarded will be abandoned.

From the beginning of the battle, it was the unilateral attack output of the Han warships. The battleship formation of the Gupta Dynasty that failed to effectively fight back was actually frustrated and frustrated. They always wanted to narrow the distance with the battleship formation of the Han army. Unfortunately, Under the headwind, even if the overseer in the cabin worked hard to whip the slave, the slave would break the oar without much effect.

"It can't go on like this anymore." Kapil Malik was naturally extremely angry, and he clenched his fists: "The enemy army clearly has the overall advantage but appears very conservative. We can disband the formation and lead them by the nose. , To create an opportunity for encirclement approaching!"

Dejean Markur had thought of this a long time ago, and the reason why he didn't raise it was the suppression of the aristocratic hierarchy. He had to wait for the decision of his superiors before coming to complete the plan.

There is a set of mature semaphores for effective remote non-voice communication in Han. Even without Liu Yan’s intervention, semaphores have appeared in Zhuxia Civilizations for a long time, but the ability to communicate is very limited.

Other civilizations are not pig brains. They must have their own creative system in the process of civilization development. A system similar to semaphore must exist. After the order of Picard Malik was issued, some flags were hung on the flagship. Color flags to issue pre-existing plans.

Soon, the battleship formation of the Han army saw the warships of the Gupta Dynasty doing scattered movements. This new situation allowed Fu Wei, as the commander, to realize who his opponent was, anyway, not the savages on the many islands in the South China Sea.

"The movement of the enemy's flagship is to cooperate with the other enemy ships." Chen Tan's role in the flagship is similar to that of later intelligence officers, and his official position is to accompany the army (staff officer or the like). He firmly said: "The enemy is setting up a conspiracy. Use the exposed flagship to attract us into the trap."

As for how Picard Malik knew that he was exposed, it was not the obvious pattern of olives and snakes on the sails. The sails of every warship of the Gupta Dynasty had different patterns. The main reason was that the warship he was on was constantly being Set fire cover.

There are not many choices in front of Fu Wei. Their warships are twice as small as those of the Jidu dynasty. The individual warships look far stronger than the opponents: "Patience, more patience! Wait until they are far enough away from each other. !"

Chen Tan has just reported that the height of the water level of the own warship is far higher than that of the enemy warship. If there is a battle between the sides, it is absolutely advantageous.

The fact that the gap between the enemy and the enemy was used made Fu Wei not afraid of a battle. What he hesitated was being surrounded by multiple ships.

"Did they find out our intentions?" Didjean Markur saw that the Chinese warships were still not hurriedly forming a long-range shot and had no obvious intention of pursuing them. He didn't know whether to ridicule or disappoint. : "The commander of the enemy army is too cautious."

"Yes, obviously their ship is bigger than ours, but they are still cautious." Picard Malik looks at things from the perspective of a superior: "No matter who they are or where they come from, powerful makes people fearful. , The enemy who is always cautious is the most terrible."

In many cases, the strong side will bury itself because of underestimating the enemy. Although such an enemy is difficult to defeat, it makes people feel hopeless.

Picard Malik was not very high-level in the Gupta dynasty, but he knew that in the confrontation with the Sassanian navy, there were obviously many Sassanian navies, but the Gupta dynasty was still able to win more and lose less because of the commander. The pros and cons.

"The Persians have more navies than us, but they look down on us, so we can always find opportunities to inflict heavy losses on them." Picard Malik felt obligated to teach Djean Macur, who had a good relationship, and was full of seriousness. Said: "When encountering enemies who are cautious enough, we should pay more attention to them, not to laugh at their timidity."

Dejean Kumar naturally made an appearance of being taught, but in his heart he knew that Picard Malik had his own arrogance and belonged to the pride of the powerful navy of the Gupta dynasty.

After all, their force is a relatively common battleship formation in the entire Gupta dynasty's navy. There is no shortage of warships that are larger than unknown enemies in the Gupta dynasty, and the number is still considerable. Furthermore, after some shots, they considered the unknown enemy to be inexperienced by comparison.

The running and chasing of the two sides has been going on, and the situation of the battle has changed with Fu Wei's order to get close to Qiangbow and diffuse to prepare for the battle.

After entering the shooting range of the bow and crossbow between each other, the sea is a picture of arrows like locusts. The crossbowmen on both sides are shooting arrows at each other desperately, which may not cause much immediate damage to the hull, mainly Mainly kill enemy personnel.

Under each other's arrows, there were people hitting arrows at all times, and the humming and groans were submerged by the sound of the waves. It was not enough until the two warships collided with a piece of wood and burst out a moan of wood.

The moment the warships collided, the personnel on the two warships felt a huge shock, and various shouts followed.

On the warship side of the Gupta Dynasty, they are at a lower altitude than the Han army~www.wuxiax.com~ Because of this, they shouldn’t be frightened. Those who are still calm have not thought about climbing up, but are greeting and preparing. Shoot arrows at the outcropping Han army. In the next moment, they were overwhelmed by some round barrels. After the barrels were smashed and cracked, some grease leaked out. Soon a torch was thrown from top to bottom, and the fierce oil hit the fire and immediately burned.

Fu Wei gradually mastered the methods of naval warfare over time. He destroyed three ships by throwing down the barrels filled with fierce fire oil. When he wanted to do the same, he found that the positions of the two sides were unknown. Kakuma had already changed, and the other three remaining warships, including the flagship, were already leaving the battlefield.

"What's this?" Fu Wei watched the enemy ship that had lost its sails parked on the spot. But it was not what he asked. He mocked himself slightly, "Sure enough, it's different from land?"

It's about seizing the limelight and failing to see the whole situation in battle.

Picard Malik is also looking at the ship that is still standing still. He ordered the ship to surrender. The reason is that if you lose the sail, you will definitely not be able to run. It is better to make contact after surrendering, perhaps after paying the ransom. After getting free, I can figure out where this unknown enemy came from and what purpose is there for appearing here.

What the Gupta dynasty did not expect was that Fu Wei didn't want to be captured at all. He asked one of his ships to lean over and drop fierce kerosene, leaving the torch to light it.

As the setting sun went down, he saw that scene from a distance, and the face of Picard Malik was extremely blue. He was angry at the uncivilizedness of the unknown enemy. He opened his mouth as a string of curses. He gritted his teeth and said: "We have met a barbaric The enemy is a barbarian who cannot communicate!"

Maybe it's barbaric, but Fu Wei thinks that it's just what he says must be done, which is what he thought at the beginning: meet for the first time, please go to death! 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to everyone's reading academy
