Zhang Bao followed closely and came to the Japanese ship.
Although the current Japanese ships can be called large ships, they are still an order of magnitude smaller than the ships of later generations.
In addition to a huge mast, there are some wooden boxes and rope nets.
Messy display on the deck.
Before Zhang Bao had time to take a closer look, a Japanese man brandished a knife and struck at Zhang Bao.
Perhaps after seeing Zhang Bao coming up, he stood there motionless, thinking that Zhang Bao was easier to deal with, so the Japanese came up with a sword.
While waving the knife, he was also chirping some bird language in his mouth.
The board of the boat was very slippery at this time, but Zhang Bao did not fight hard with him.
He took out the crossbow from his chest and knocked down the short radish with one arrow.
The people who came up with Zhang Bao were also fighting with Zhang Bao's men on the boat.
On the other ship, it seemed that it was not as smooth as Zhang Bao's ship. There were many Japanese on that ship, and the few men who got on board were all surrounded by Japanese and besieged.
Some Japanese reacted quickly and cut off the rope they had thrown down earlier.
Zhang Bao and his men only went up to a dozen people, and while dealing with the Japanese, they took the time to set fire to the boat.
The deck was full of flammable things, but the Japanese lights on the boat seemed to be made of fish oil. After being knocked to the ground, they burned instantly.
Fortunately at this time.
Even the Japanese people on the boat had no reaction.
Most of them didn't even have time to pick up weapons, so they just used whatever was on the ship to deal with it.
"Let's not set a fire here yet!"
"Kill all the Japanese!"
Zhang Bao saw that his men were also preparing to set fire to the ship, and immediately stopped him.
"Search every corner of this ship, and be sure to pay attention to the mezzanine layers of the ship's planks."
"Kill all the Japanese we can find!"
Zhang Bao said to his men.
Not a moment.
The entire ship was cleared by Zhang Bao's people.
"You use these small boats to select as many of our people as possible who are good at martial arts and know how to swim, and transport them to this boat. We will go meet those Japanese!"
Zhang Bao turned to the people around him and ordered.
Although another ship was burned, there were relatively few Japanese on this ship and they were all killed. There was no need to set fire to the ship.
Instead, you can disguise yourself as a Japanese and get close to other Japanese ships.
Then you can take the opportunity to deal with them.
But unfortunately, their language and height are different from the Japanese.
Although Zhang Bao knew some Japanese languages, they were limited to Baga, Kawaii, Yachudie, etc. Communication was impossible.
Although he could board the ship with those who had contact with the Japanese in Huizhou and understood some of the Japanese language, it was difficult for Zhang Bao to grasp their details.
Not to mention their height.
In all likelihood, the Japanese will discover you as soon as you meet them.
At this time, we must find ways to deal with them as much as possible.
The Gold Touching Brigade has not yet developed the artillery according to Zhang Bao's wishes, but according to Zhang Bao's idea, it is possible to install a catapult on this ship.
Use a catapult to throw the explosive packets over a long distance.
This ship was kept by Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao and the others came to Huizhou this time with Bao Wei's Thirty-Six Riders in a hot air balloon.
Although they also brought explosive bags, the number was not very large.
According to the current size and structure of Japanese ships.
It is estimated that if you want to sink a ship, you will need at least a dozen explosive charges.
Moreover, it is unrealistic to transport the catapult from Hezhou. It will take at least a month to come and go.
Zhang Bao asked people to park the Japanese ships on the sea here, and arranged for people to adapt and become familiar with the control of the Japanese ships.
After all, this ship is a Japanese ship. For their current soldiers in Daxia, there are not many people who really know navigation skills. Fortunately, this is Huizhou, and many soldiers themselves grew up on the seaside.
I am naturally familiar with these things.
At present, the operation of these ships is not the most difficult part. The most difficult thing is the height of the ship.
Because the height of the Japanese is basically only about half of that of the Daxia people.
The same goes for the height on this boat.
Basically no one goes in.
Even in the sleeping area, the Japanese bed board was like a crib, unable to accommodate anyone at all.
Many places also need to be renovated.
But there are advantages.
For this kind of sail, it is more troublesome to control the height and weight of the Japanese.
But for Zhang Bao and his people, it was relatively simple.
When they were adapting to the ship, Zhang Bao took Baowei's thirty-six men and horses to build a miniature version of the catapult in Huizhou.
After all, when I was studying catapults before, the bigger the better, and the heavier the things thrown, the better.
But it's inconvenient on a ship because the space on the ship itself is very limited.
And the thing to be thrown does not need to be heavy, just an explosive bag is enough.
As for the explosives, the men of Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry also collected materials in Huizhou and made a batch temporarily.
They knew how to make explosives before.
While Zhang Bao and the others were preparing.
The Japanese didn't stop either.
It's even becoming more frequent.
A group of people also ventured into the inland villages and towns.
It's just that Zhang Bao and the others were well prepared and didn't let these Japanese get any advantage.
However, the current situation can also reflect that the Japanese people are anxious and their supplies have been almost exhausted.
Naturally, they were forced to have no choice but to go inland to plunder.
This is just the beginning.
They will definitely attack the interior more frequently in the future.
However, these attacks also let them know that Huizhou was already prepared.
For today's Japanese people.
If they want to obtain as much supplies as possible, they need to gather their ships.
It is possible to gather more people and deal with the Huizhou people together.
But it was precisely because of this situation that Zhang Bao was given the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
For an area as large as Huizhou.
It's harder to stop them on land.
This is especially true after they come together.
When they were scattered before, Zhang Bao might be able to predict them based on their movement trajectories.
But now it's no longer possible.
Relying on guesswork and casting a wide net would involve too much energy on Zhang Bao's side.
The mobilization of soldiers and horses and this kind of garrison consume a huge amount of food, grass and morale.
But as far as the sea is concerned, in the eyes of the Japanese, they are all their own ships and they will not be wary at all.
so.
After Zhang Bao and others equipped the catapults on the Japanese ships, they took Baowei's thirty-six riders and the selected people to control the Japanese ships and headed in the direction where the Japanese were coming.
