Liu Daogui looked calm and said: "You don't need too many warships to besiege the enemy's giant ship. You don't even need the Huanglong warship to do such a thing. I just said that attacking the enemy's giant ship relies on rushing in from the side. Then the tactic is to throw a pheasant tail torch at the side of the enemy ship, so the one word that needs to be emphasized is fast. If there is another word that needs to be added, it is small."
Lu Zongzhi frowned: "Quick is understandable, but what is the purpose of this small word? In water warfare, isn't the bigger the better?"
Liu Daogui waved his hand: "The eight-armed giant ship is too big and too high. If it is the size of the Huanglong warship, the enemy can be seen at a glance and use long-range weapons to attack our warship from a distance, as Commander Cai said Yes, before approaching the enemy's giant ship, I am afraid that dozens of warships will be lost on the impact route. This kind of loss is something we must try to avoid."
Having said this, Liu Daogui looked at Cai Lunzhi: "If I remember correctly, each of the Huanglong warships we built this time also brought two to three walking speedboats, right?"
Cai Lunzhi nodded: "Yes, the draft of these fast boats is very shallow. Each boat can accommodate more than ten people. They don't even have sails and masts. They purely rely on eight to ten oarsmen in a closed bottom cabin. When rowing in a river, the speed will be very fast once it is flowing smoothly. This is a small boat specially used when the warship is not safe and you have to abandon the ship to escape. When I evacuated from Huan Chu's warship, I used this kind of barge to escape. of."
Liu Daogui nodded: "It's just that this kind of barge has almost no combat capability. Once the enemy jumps on it and lands, it will be over, right?"
Cai Lunzhi said with a smile: "That's right. This kind of boat is for escaping, not for fighting. As long as people jump on the boat, they are basically waiting to die. The reason is that it has a shallow draft and many rowers, so it can compete with others. Large and medium-sized warships can leave the battlefield faster."
At this point, he paused: "When Huan Xuan was still there, seven or eight such small boats were placed behind his flagship, but they were not used to evacuate civil and military officials or soldiers, but to evacuate these small boats. The small boat was filled with calligraphy and paintings. He said that these calligraphy and paintings are rare treasures. The war is fierce and dangerous. Even if the war is unfavorable, these calligraphy and paintings cannot be destroyed by the fire, so they must be put on the walking boat and evacuated at any time."
Liu Zunchao laughed: "No wonder Huan Xuan later betrayed his relatives and separated. He couldn't bear to change whoever was his subordinate. He regarded a few calligraphy and paintings as more important than human lives. Brother Jinu was the one who charged forward in every battle, whether he was dead or not. He wanted to survive and cut off his retreat, but Huan Xuan wanted to escape without fighting, and he was just escaping for his own life. He took calligraphy and painting with him, but did not take soldiers with him. He was lucky not to mutiny. "
Cai Lunzhi nodded: "Yes, so after He Danzhi's defeat, I stopped serving Huanxuan because I knew that if people's hearts were lost, Huanxuan would be defeated. However, I have been supervising him for more than half a year. The Huanglong warships were built according to the standards of the Chu navy at that time. Each warship carried three walking gangs in order to save the lives of the wounded and important generals in adverse times. According to Zhengxi's wishes , are you going to use these walking boats to attack the enemy's giant ships?"
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, these ships run fast. If they are put down when the Huanglong warship leaves the battlefield, the enemy will think that these are fleeing ships and are unlikely to abandon the Huanglong warship and attack them. In this way, we There is a chance that we can use these mobile weapons to attack the enemy's giant ships. Commander Cai, do you think we have a certain chance of attacking like this?"
Cai Lunzhi said thoughtfully: "If you are facing a giant ship directly, it won't be a big problem. The giant ship moves slowly and is far slower than these small ships, and the ballistae and trebuchets on its deck can't fight against such a big ship." It is difficult to hit a small target, but if there are dozens of enemy warships guarding the giant ship in front of it, it will be difficult to get close to the enemy giant ship even if you walk around."
Liu Daogui frowned: "Can we ignore these escort warships and rush directly through the gaps to attack the enemy's giant ships?"
Cai Lunzhi sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Although the huge ship is too high and it is difficult to hit such a small ship with a stick from several decks, but the escort warship, such as the Huanglong Ship or smaller Mengchong Ship No. 1 can use long poles and harpoons to attack the barges passing by. If we use pheasant tail torches to attack the enemy's forward warships, we will
It will expose our tactical intentions, and the enemy's giant ship will definitely try its best to command its surroundings.
.
The surrounding warships can come forward to block, or even lay a large number of fishing nets and iron locks in front, and put down the small walking boats they carry to stop them. I am afraid that by then, the clever plan of conquering the west will still be difficult to realize. "
Liu Daogui gritted his teeth and said: "Is there any other way to divert these escort warships in front of the enemy, or to form a melee with them to prevent them from blocking the warships?"
Cai Lunzhi said solemnly: "I'm afraid that our army will have to mobilize the water ghost team, go down to the river in advance, and then fight on the enemy's escort warship. Moreover, such an attack must be carried out in the dark night. If it is in broad daylight, Next, the enemy will definitely be on guard when they see our hundreds of small boats rushing towards their giant ship."
Tan Daoji said solemnly: "I think we can also let some Huanglong warships pretend that they are too late to catch up with the breakout fleet in front, and turn around to escape in another direction. This may separate some enemy warships from escorting warships to pursue them, or even If you choose to use barges, you can also deliberately sacrifice some and pretend to be in a panic so that the enemy's escort ships can capture them. In this way, the demon thieves' escort ships will want to make a meritorious service and capture the enemy ships, so they may break away from the formation. , are here to pursue us. As long as there is a gap in the enemy's formation, we will have a chance to attack them."
Liu Daogui nodded: "Yes, you can also ask some brothers from the Water Ghost Team to pretend to be panicked and jump off the ship, but they will sink to the bottom of the water. When they see the signal, they will sneak back to the ship and directly attack the enemy's giant ship. During the battle, the enemy must have no interest in paying attention to the empty ships floating on the river. When the enemy ships are gone, they can return to raid. But, Commander Cai, you said before that the enemy also has a large number of water ghosts. If they All the water ghosts came out and discovered our sailors lurking underwater, how can we crack them?"
Cai Lunzhi shook his head: "I can't think of a way to solve this. I can only leave it to fate. I hope God will favor me. Maybe the enemy's water ghosts want to protect the giant ship and cannot leave easily. This will give our army a chance. If If you want to be more secure, you can ask our water ghost troops to first send out capable underwater scouts to detect the situation in the water. If we find that the enemy does not have a large number of water ghosts underwater, we can then notify the attack."
