There is of course a reason why the hole was made on the side of the warship instead of drilling into the bottom of the ship as in the legend.
For such a big car and ship, even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that the bottom of the ship cannot be thin.
How long does it take to drill a hole in the bottom of a ship?
If the hole was not dug properly, the person would be suffocated to death first.
When a large ship travels through the water, it creates a large current.
If you don't secure yourself to the bottom of the boat, you will be dragged to death by the bottom of the boat!
This method is often used by pirates and is called dragging the keel. It is one of the most cruel criminal methods to punish the enemy.
Throw a person into the sea in front of a moving ship and let the ship run over the person.
No matter how good the water quality is, it is impossible to escape in this situation. The person is sucked by the current under the boat, dragged from the bow to the stern, and is rubbed to death by the bottom of the boat!
The sailors of the Onezawa bandits spend all day in the water, so they will understand this truth.
Although the river boat is not as big as the sea boat, if it is dragged from the bottom of the boat, it will still die without negotiation!
Therefore, if you want to cut the ship, you must hang it on the side of the ship and cut from the side.
It's not impossible to dive to the bottom of the boat, but it can only bully some small boats.
Leader Zhang's ship-cutting skills are professional and he has been trained countless times.
Even though the side of the Loach boat was very thick and strong, more than twenty centimeters, it was still broken by him after a period of time!
Seeing the water rushing into the boat, Leader Zhang showed an evil smile on his lips.
Grandpa wants you to become fish and turtles in Onozawa!
For such a large loach boat, just a small hole is not enough. Leader Zhang kept working hard and continued to expand the hole he dug.
It is much easier to enlarge an already dug hole than to make a new one.
So Leader Zhang started chiseling again.
Chisel, chisel...
Chisel, chisel...
Chisel, chisel...
Waiting until the hole became as big as the mouth of a bowl, the giant sea loach boat was still scurrying across the water. Except that its speed had slowed down slightly, there was no sign of sinking!
Damn ass!
Leader Zhang was puzzled.
What the hell are you doing? Why are the warships of the dog officers and soldiers so evil?
It's been filled with water for so long, why doesn't it sink?
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the situation, Leader Zhang felt a chill on his back, followed by a sharp pain, as if he had been bitten by something.
Looking back, it turned out that it was the officers and soldiers on the nearby ship who shot him!
Before Leader Zhang could react, there was another arrow!
Leader Zhang softened.
The strength quickly disappeared from the body.
After a short time, it turned into a corpse hanging on the side of the ship.
Until his death, Leader Zhang did not know the reason why the official warship did not sink!
Leader Zhang was not the only Onosawa sailor who left this world with regrets.
There are not many people who have the same experience as him.
These Onezawa bandits who were able to evade the reconnaissance of the officers and soldiers, avoid accidental damage in the war, and dig holes in the officers and soldiers' ships were all true masters of the water.
It's a pity that their death was not only aggrieved, but also meaningless. Until their death, they didn't know why the army's warship would not sink!
This is the limitation of vision.
The ships that the Onezawa bandits had built before were all what they thought were big ships, not the big cars and ships brought by Gao Qiu.
For an ordinary ship, as long as a hole is dug below the waterline, if it cannot be blocked in time, it will soon take in water and sink.
However, this was not the case with the large loach ship brought by Gao Qiu.
This brings us to the great invention of ancient Chinese shipbuilding - watertight compartments.
The so-called watertight compartment is to use bulkheads to separate the cabin into independent compartments that are not connected to each other.
This technology actually existed before the Tang Dynasty.
However, after the Dawu Dynasty, it gradually became widely used on sea ships.
Later, some inland ships also began to adopt this technology.
The installation of watertight compartments has many advantages.
Since the cabins are strictly separated from each other, during navigation, especially ocean navigation, even if one or two cabins are damaged and water enters, the water will not enter other cabins, so that the ship will not sink, which increases the safety of navigation. .
The ship is divided into compartments to facilitate loading, unloading and management of cargo.
In addition, because the bulkheads are tightly nailed to the hull plates, the overall lateral strength of the ship is increased, replacing the process of adding ribs, and also has the function of strengthening the hull.
Due to its many advantages, the technology of watertight compartments became very popular once it was made public and has endured for a long time. It has not only been passed down from generation to generation in China, but has also been adopted by various countries in later generations. It is an important equipment in ships.
It’s really sad that the Onozawa bandits don’t know about such awesome stuff!
In this battle, the Onozawa bandit's navy was almost wiped out.
In the end, the leader of the Song Dynasty ordered the troops to withdraw, and they managed to escape with some ships.
When they returned to the shore and took inventory, they found that only one-third of the navy was still weak. Leader Song cried on the spot.
My navy...
Without you, what else would I have to talk to the court about recruitment?
However, the Onozawa bandit's navy was not without achievements, and the official army also suffered considerable losses.
Among the large loach ships alone, seven or eight had holes dug out, and dozens of smaller ships were damaged or sunk.
There is also a guy named Xiao Li Guang, who is known for his accurate archery skills. He can hold no less than a handful of generals in his hands!
Even Gao Qiu's boat was hit by an arrow. If it hadn't been far away and the guards' skills were high enough, the dignified Captain Gao might have died this time.
Therefore, Gao Qiu did not pursue him, but stopped to clean the battlefield and salvage the fallen officers and soldiers.
In this way, those Ohnozawa bandits who fell into the water would be unlucky.
How could the officers and soldiers let go of such a good target and use bows and arrows to name them one by one!
After cleaning the battlefield, Lieutenant Gao ordered the entire army to withdraw, repair the damaged ships, regroup, and then deal with Ohnozawa's disobedient gang!
Well, it was actually Captain Gao's selfishness that violated him again.
This is a clear plan to prolong the war.
After thinking about it, Lieutenant Gao, after learning this lesson, the Onezawa bandit would never dare to harass the army's food route again, and could only act as a tool for him to attract money!
…
Some Onezawa bandits who fell into the water swam to the shore in order to survive and were captured by Yun Family Army scouts.
Therefore, Yun Chao quickly received detailed information about the water war.
Yun Chao immediately laughed when he heard that the army led by Gao Qiu had defeated the navy army of Onezawa bandits.
"Haha, hahahaha!"
"Haha, hahahaha!"
"Haha, hahahaha!"
"..."
Yun Chao smiled so unscrupulously, as if no one was around, coquettish and creepy...
All the key members of the Yun Family Army were laughed at by Yun Chao.
I don’t know what kind of problem their super brother has committed.
Isn't it normal for the army to defeat bandits? What's the fuss about? Why are you so happy?
Even if he deserves to be happy, Brother Chao, who has always been confident, shouldn't be so rude. Why is this?
