This mine is a newly developed one. It has been studied before, but it has never been put into mass production.
Although this mine worked well in experiments, it has never been tested in rough seas, let alone in actual combat.
The method of using this mine is also very simple. Put the iron shell mine into a sealed large wooden box, sink it into the water, use three iron anchors to position it, and use a rope to connect the firing device to the shore. When the enemy ship approaches, the shore mine The ambush soldiers set fire to detonate.
It is actually a hair-pulling anchor mine.
But this is the sea, and there is so much time for you to arrange it, so how can you be given such a long line?
Therefore, improvements were made to this mine. The shell was made of wrought iron, weighed six pounds, and contained gunpowder.
The length of the incense can be determined according to the distance of the enemy ship.
The outside is sealed with beef giblets, and then the treated sheep intestines are used to bring it to the water surface for ventilation, and goose feathers are used to float it so as not to extinguish the fire.
He would be tied to a wooden raft, dropped into the water with stones, and floated down the river. "The fragrance was so strong that it burned, and it was knocked up from the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the boat was shattered."
This is the timed mine currently used by the navy, which can be set according to the distance.
Even so, it also tests the soldiers' experience.
If the time is too short, it will explode before the enemy can get close, thus alerting the enemy.
If the time is too long, the enemies will be killed in front of you, and those who don’t know may think it is to cheer them up.
Moreover, the speed of the enemy must be calculated based on the wind and waves on the sea, so it is very troublesome.
So King Kong Nu decided to retreat slowly, giving the opponent a chance to catch up, and then ordered to stop refilling ammunition.
After firing for so long, the barrel of the gun was already red. If we didn't take a break, there was a risk of exploding the barrel.
Moreover, he made a gesture of retreating and then stopped attacking, which can be regarded as a false display of weakness.
When the two armies are fighting, the game is all about mentality.
"Third master, the other party seems to have retreated!"
"I can see it!" Shi Renji narrowed his eyes, and the loud noise gradually became less and less. Does this mean that the opponent's long-distance attack weapon is not unlimited, and maybe it has been used up!
Thinking of this, he felt happy in his heart, but he remained vigilant, "Let Kuaizhou follow them and pester them first to find out their true and false status!"
"Yes, from the Third Master."
After receiving the order, hundreds of fast boats rushed past with the wind.
In the navy's serial number, there are all kinds of combat ships. This fast boat is similar to a raiding boat. It is small and fast, and is mainly used to penetrate on the surface battlefield.
Spy intelligence, harass enemies, report intelligence, etc.
Because the target is small and the speed is fast, it gives the enemy a headache!
Soon, these small boats rushed over, and not long after, Shi Renji received the news.
"I have reported to the Third Master that I am now certain that the other party is from the Daye Imperial Court. Moreover, the other party's long-distance attack weapons seem to have been used up. Now they are retreating!"
"Okay!" Shi Renji nodded. Since he didn't have the long-range attack weapon, he didn't have to be afraid of anyone on the sea.
The 20,000 navy men he leads are all good men. Many of them are serious soldiers. They make a living on the water all year round, and they are as comfortable as a fish in water on the sea.
"Tangle them, don't let them escape!" Shi Renji said: "Give me the order to let the sailors speed up and win this battle. It takes money after money, and women after women!"
"yes!"
Everyone's fighting spirit was high. At the beginning, they were beaten passively, and everyone was feeling aggrieved.
who are they?
It's the Peach Blossom Mountain pirates!
After occupying this place for many years, no one has ever made them feel so aggrieved.
Now, they want to bring shame and make these people regret coming here!
The order was passed down, and everyone was working hard, as if they were drunk.
At the main village of Peach Blossom Mountain, Han Fuchun frowned deeply, "Why did you chase him out?"
"The second master, the third master is so brave that he kills the enemies until they run away like rats. Just wait and wait for the third master to present his prisoners!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him smiled confidently.
But Han Fuchun didn't think that he could hear the terrifying loud noise just now even from a long distance away. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage.
And now, how can the other party lose even if they say they lose?
Shi Renji was on the battlefield and might not be able to see clearly, but he stood on the main stronghold and had a panoramic view of everything, and his inner uneasiness became more and more intense.
He even wondered, was this the enemy's plan?
But now, Shi Renji has chased him out, and no matter how many doubts he has, he can't express them.
If Shi Renji comes back and thinks that he doesn't trust him, wouldn't it cause more trouble if things get messed up?
He put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance with a solemn expression.
At this time, Vajra Slave watched the enemy gradually catch up, feeling very happy in his heart.
"Are the mines ready?"
"General Qizhen, we are all ready. If nothing else happens, they will be blown over when they get close."
Vajra Nu specially suppressed the speed of the ship, but did not release the water too obviously, and fired a cannon every now and then, hitting a ship.
While threatening the enemy, it also makes the opponent feel that they have run out of ammunition and food, and watch the opponent's speed get faster and faster.
The Vajra slave couldn't help but clenched his fists.
I hope the mines will be successful.
It is said that no less than two thousand mines have been dropped just now, but I don't know how many ships they can capsize.
...
At this time, Shi Renji was extremely anxious, "Hurry up, let the sailors hurry up. The other side has no means. Without the weapons for long-range attack, they are just weak. In close combat on the water, our Peach Blossom Army dare not say that it is invincible, but it is It’s also one of the best.”
The wind was getting stronger and stronger. This time it was not a tailwind, but a headwind. Seeing that the opponent was getting faster and faster, he became impatient.
After chasing for so long and confirming that there were no reinforcements behind the opponent, he was now certain that the opponent was out of options.
Capturing these people will not only further expand the army, but also severely attack the arrogance of the Daye court.
Maybe, you can also use this as a threat to make the Daye court bow its head.
Thinking of this, Shi Renji seemed to have countless lofty sentiments in his heart, and his whole body became excited.
But at this moment, there was a sudden explosion in my ears, and huge water splashes rose from the sea.
At first he didn't care, he just thought it was the opponent's long-range attack weapon.
But after a few breaths, loud noises exploded one after another, and the sounds were louder than before.
Speedboats and ships were constantly being hit.
Once hit, the ship is basically destroyed and everyone is killed.
Even a ship with eight hundred materials cannot carry it.
Shi Renji trembled all over, and a cold air shot up from the soles of his feet to the sky.
There was only one thought in his mind: It's over, they've been fooled!
He subconsciously wanted to escape, but found that the main ship he was on began to tremble violently.
At that moment, he could hardly stand!
