"Full speed forward!"
Mi Yuan is roaring loudly. Not only the warship under his feet is breaking the big waves, but also there are friendly ships on the left and right sides who are willing to die together. Their 15 warships also set out a triangle when charging. This is the standard formation of warships charging in the current era. It depends on the needs to change the formation before they will meet the enemy.
Fifteen warships faced hundreds of enemy ships. As they charged forward, the Gupta fleet responded quickly, katluk Kapp didn't know why he only sent the same number of warships to fight.
Two fleets of the same number soon clashed. That was the first firing of the bed crossbow after entering the range, waiting to enter the range of the bow and crossbow. There was another area in the sea area that always crossed the bright spot like a meteor in the air.
In rainy weather, ordinary fire cannot burn for a long time, but the rockets used in war are not lit with cloth strips. Even if they are basically processed with oil, the Han army uses fierce fire oil, and the Gupta Dynasty uses untreated crude oil (oil). However, no matter what oil is used, it will be extinguished as long as it is repeatedly caught by rain.
It's not easy to burn somewhere under the rain. It's usually shooting at the enemy's soldiers carrying oil pots, or simply shooting at the enemy's oil storage facilities, so that the fire can be enough to fight the heavy rain. In this case, although the two sides shoot at each other, the damage to warships (buildings) is very limited, but the lethality to personnel is no different.
On the other hand, due to the influence of the rain, the range of various long-range attack weapons is bound to be shortened. In addition, after the bow string and crossbow string are wet by the rain, the string will gradually become soft and soon lose tension. Even if it can shoot, it can't actually shoot far.
"Rush over and hit it directly!" Miyuan saw that the fire in the frontier Shuizhai of his home port was not small. Gupta warships began to approach the Shuizhai. He was nervous and confused. He didn't quite understand what was going on. In a hurry, he didn't have the patience to linger with the belligerent enemy ship: "engage in side contact!"
When the captain gives an order, naturally, the chief mate and relevant personnel convey the order layer by layer. On the warship, the soldiers gave up their bows or crossbows, replaced them with small shields and melee weapons, grabbed the surrounding objects that could reduce the impact force, and waited for the upcoming side contact.
"Ding sent a signal on the 26th that they are about to launch a collision and jump Gang!"
"Do it!"
"Promise!"
These Han warships who carried out the attack really didn't know a series of plans of their home port. They felt incredible that the frontier of the Shuizhai was broken through so quickly. At the same time, driven by a feeling of sadness and anger, they really wanted to fight with the enemy.
The rain has been falling in no small way, tens of meters apart. It seems that the outline of each other will actually be a little blurred. In this weather, the wind appears erratic. After the two sides enter the combat state, the ship actually lowers the sail and changes it to oar power. In addition to the erratic wind, they lowered the sails to prevent the open sails from being ignited by rockets.
The sound of the oars hitting the sea was covered up by too many sounds on the battlefield. Gupta found that the Han army was about to launch a collision, but it was too late to avoid it.
"Steady! Steady! Steady!"
The dull crash sounded in the ship collision, followed by a "creak" of wood, transmitting the distortion of the hull.
Mi Yuan's warship hit the half waist of the Gupta warship with its bow. After the collision, it directly broke the hull and drilled in.
When the two ships collided, people on the hull could feel that they were pushed by a huge force. It was better to grasp the object and fix it. People who touched it would really fall to the ground and roll the gourd.
"Back up, back up immediately! The hull of the enemy ship is damaged and has no value in jumping gang war. Find another target!"
Once the ship is damaged below the horizontal plane, the sea water will be poured obliquely under the action of water pressure, which can plug the breach. Naturally, it can also be rescued. Once the hull made of wood is broken, a large number of navies will pour in. There is no waterproof hatch. In addition, it is not easy to block, the cabin will soon be filled with sea water, and the inclination will occur in an instant, It won't be long before the whole ship should sink.
"The bow is leaking? It's blocked! If it can't be blocked, fight until the warship sinks to the bottom of the sea!"
In the final analysis, it's all wooden ships. No matter how strong the hull structure is, it can't withstand collision. Whether it's an active collision or a passive collision, water leakage will inevitably occur. The difference is which part is used to bear the impact force.
The sound of collision in this sea area sounded one after another. In an instant, two warships with various parts next to each other could be seen everywhere.
Not all Han warships were as lucky as Miyuan. When they collided, they hit half the enemy ship's waist. More often, the bow collided with each other, and then began to diffuse each other at a close distance. The soldiers of the two enemy and our warships were trying their best to transition to the enemy ship. Usually, they threw a rope with a hook to the enemy ship and swung over like an ape, and there was a picture of the soldiers falling into the sea.
War is to use all available violent means. As long as it can destroy the enemy, it is a good means. At the desperate stage, the two warship formations can see that they are next to each other. They are still controlling the bed crossbow to launch at the enemy. If they can throw burning cans at each other, they will lose their lives.
"How fierce!" Ugutai Bahram deliberately let the fleet close, looked at the scene of fighting mixed with a regiment, pondered and said, "put down the boat, lean over, and save the Han soldiers when you see them."
In any battle on the sea, it is inevitable that someone will fall into the water. For a while and a half, he will certainly die. Depending on how long the sea temperature can last, no matter the enemy or ourselves, we can't get a chance to save until the battle is over.
The Persian Sassanian side is hostile to the Gupta Dynasty and is subconsciously friendly to the Han people Bahram doesn't mind helping the Han people where he can. He wants to get in touch with the Han people. It's best to learn about the east from the Han people.
The Gupta Dynasty had long found that the Persian Sassanian fleet was close, but it did not do anything, or even sent warships to reinforce its own formation in the fierce battle.
"Regardless of victory or defeat, fifteen ships don't matter in such a big battlefield." Katluk Kapp paid more attention to the attack on the Han Army's water stronghold and asked, "has the striker been killed?"
By zanpt The Gupta formation led by Warren was indeed close enough to the Han Army stronghold. The warships under his command did not suffer heavy losses in the process of getting close, that is, every warship was nailed with arrows.
There is no means of remote communication in the Gupta Dynasty, zanpt Warren noticed something wrong. For example, there were too many burning points in the Han Army's water stronghold. The resistance was fierce at the beginning, but gradually weakened later. Most importantly, he did not find any sign that the Han Army had sent out any warships to resist. In fact, it was very strange for the latter.
When the military port is attacked, any Navy will try its best to make the warships in the port enter the combat state. Even if it is only to make the warships move, it is definitely much better than staying in place. Whether it can make effective resistance is another matter.
[it's raining today, and the Han Empire didn't find our fleet approaching in time?] zampt Warren thought this could explain: [but... Even if there was no response in front, there should be action in the back!]
Another doubtful point is that the fire in the Han Army's water stronghold should not be so big in rainy days, if it were zanpute Warren was able to find that there were only warships in the front row of the berth in the military port. He was bound to react, but because a large area of the water stronghold was on fire, the smoke was too thick.
Katluk When Karp received that the leading formation entered the Han Army's water stronghold and did not encounter effective resistance, although he felt it was a little easy for the war to develop smoothly, he thought that the Gupta Dynasty was indeed powerful and did not think in other directions.
Kapir Malik meets catrook Kapp intended to let the whole fleet join the battle and appropriately said, "it seems that the warships of the Han Empire can not launch effective resistance? Most of their warships may be out. Do you want to leave the necessary warships to guard against the sudden return of the warships of the Han Empire?"
Katluk Kapp just thought the same. He thought that most of the warships of the Han Dynasty went out to carry out raids and were not prepared for their raid because of the lack of intelligence support. He spoke to kapir with appreciation "You're good," Malik said
As the saying goes, you can't be too cautious in any action involving military affairs, in kapir At Malik's suggestion, catrook Kapp simply left kapir Malik's formation ordered regional ships to participate in the battle.
Kapir Malik was very depressed about being left behind and regretted why he said so much.
Maybe it's God's beauty. In fact, it's a fickle nature, right in catluk When Kapp decided to break in and launch the landing operation, the rain stopped.
On the coastal line where the war took place, the frontier facilities of the Shuizhai have basically been completed. There are drifting wood everywhere in the water, and there must be the bodies of dead soldiers. The most is the black smoke from burning, especially the burning of arrow tower facilities, which directly turns into a huge torch.
"The situation is wrong!" Zanpt Warren had gone deep enough into the water stronghold of the Han army. He finally found that the number of warships moored in the port was wrong. Moreover, the resistance of the Han army was too small. In the end, he simply didn't see organized resistance: "can you observe the land?"
The battlefield was filled with smoke. It was not easy to observe. It was gathered in zanpute There is too little useful information on Warren's side, but it shows that the Han army is massing its troops on the land, much like blocking the landing.
Zanpt After receiving the following information, Warren removed some doubts: "the naval battle shown by the Han Empire in recent months only relied on strong instruments and had no skills, which confirmed the rumor that the Chinese Empire had only strong land combat ability."
Katluk, who has led a large fleet in the approach However, Kapu received news from the rear. He had previously sent the same number of ships to fight with the Han Army's warship formation, and the results had been achieved. His own side was knocked down, three and seven were defeated in the jump Gang battle, and only five were evacuated.
"The Han Empire just sank two ships?" Katluk Kapp was very surprised by the news: "six of the other side stopped in place, and the remaining seven pursued us?"
Some of the six Han warships stopped in place because of water leakage, but some had to put out the fire during the battle. They had to stop in place for maintenance. They were also doing the same work as the small boats in bossashan to rescue the drowning people.
Kapir Didn't Malik stay? He was watching with his own eyes the only seven Han warships approaching him and facing dijean Makur said: "I don't know whether they are stupid or brave. They do their best to win a game that can be explained, but they don't think much of themselves to continue to charge."
Ugutai also expressed the same emotion Bakhram, the number of 15 ships that attacked hundreds of ships earlier was enough to prove his courage. There were only seven warships left behind, but he still didn't give up the attack. As a Persian, he was more willing to evaluate the behavior of a warrior.
Kuslow Sorodyas stopped erguti Bahram's willingness to fight side by side with the warships of the Han state, with full regret, said: "their warships have the courage to fight, but the number is really too small. Obviously, the Han Empire does not have enough strength at sea."
There are only 15 Han warships on the battlefield from the beginning to the end, which can win in the same number, but the number gap between the two sides is really boundless. The development of the war situation shows a one-sided trend with the breakthrough of the Han stronghold, which really makes the Persians who watch the war have little confidence in the Han Navy.
"The mainland of the Han Empire is too far from here." Ugutai Bahram looked at the smoky coastline from a distance, and at the Gupta Navy marching in high spirited formation: "if the Han Empire doesn't have enough warships, what's the use of guarding the land?"
On the land, Huanwen is located on the top of a mountain. As the rain stops, you can have a panoramic view of the battlefield. He could even see that his only seven warships were surrounded by more than 50 Gupta navy ships firing long-range attack weapons.
"Let the enemy land first." Huan Wen is in control of the whole war situation. In fact, his side will lose 15 warships or even more, which are all within the scope of loss. He looked at the direction of the deep sea with a telescope and said calmly: "let the beach troops try their best to resist and retreat again, and give up the second line of defense when necessary."
When the water stronghold is gone, it can be rebuilt, and a limited number of war damage is acceptable. What Huan Wen wants is to create an environment for annihilating the enemy in World War I. In addition, it is secondary.
