Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 498 Typed agreement (1)

Defense is never the way to win a war, offense is!It's not that Lin Hu doesn't understand this truth. It's not that he doesn't want to counterattack when the battle is so difficult. He just needs an opportunity, an opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. It is advantageous, but it is also difficult to fight against the siege of so many large food ships. There are too many ants and they can kill elephants, not to mention that the large food fleet is not only ants, but also a pack of wolves. In other words, once the crossbow arrows stored in the fleet are exhausted, it is absolutely difficult to compete with the fierce and fearless Dashi Navy in hand-to-hand combat. If you just attack blindly, not only will you not be able to defeat the enemy, but your own formation will be completely destroyed. , caught in the predicament of fighting each other, Lin Hu didn't dare to take this risk, so he could only wait, waiting for the Dashi Navy to show its flaws, and when all the frigates around the "Rose" came forward, Lin Hu looked forward to The long-awaited fighter finally appeared!
"Order: The two ships Weishun and Weining immediately turned to the north, and the enemy's flagship was sunk by a certain general!"

Seeing that the Chinese Army of Dashi had charged forward, Lin Hu didn't dare to neglect, so he raised his hand and gave the order to attack loudly. Immediately, Wang Yuanzheng, who was standing on the height of the mast, quickly fought The semaphore, with the waving of the two small flags in his hand, the order has been transmitted to the two ships "Weisun" and "Weining" located in the middle of the fleet array.

"The left rudder is full, the starboard side stops firing, the port side fires in turn, and the bow gun is ready!"

"Full starboard rudder, stop firing on the port side, fire sequentially on the starboard side, the bow gun is ready!"

Captain Wang Rong of the "Weissun" and Cao Zhendong, the captain of the "Weining", were both officers of the Datang Navy. They both participated in the Battle of Baicun River, so they are very familiar with the way of naval warfare, and their cooperation is extremely good. There is a tacit understanding, once Lin Hu's general order is received, there is no need to negotiate with each other at all, and the attack order is issued almost at the same time, but seeing that the two ships move at the same time, but the direction of the sideways turn is exactly opposite, and the burst out when turning The fire strikes just formed a Taiji-like figure, crossing each other to cover each other, and smashed more than a dozen Dashi Navy warships that dared to rush forward. Although only two small warships were sunk, they were scared. The rest of the enemy ships had to back away and watched helplessly as the two ships "Wei Shun" and "Wei Ning" made a beautiful tactical maneuver, forming a strategic situation of heading north side by side.

"Send the order, the Chinese army will immediately turn around and stop the two invading ships. The rest of the troops are not allowed to leave without authorization. Be sure to take down the enemy's first and last ships!"

Tari ibn Abi was considered a famous general in the Red Sea anyway, as soon as he saw the tactical maneuvers made by the two ships "Wei Shun" and "Wei Ning", he immediately guessed that the two ships were coming towards him, but he also He didn't really care about it, but ordered the Chinese squadron, which was originally to reinforce and attack the "Weiyuan" ship, to immediately turn to surround the two ships "Weisun" and "Weining", but his own eyes were always fixed on the "Weiyuan" ship. "Yuanhao".

"Command: full sail, full tailwheel drive, target, enemy flagship!"

The two captains Wang and Cao both noticed the turning of the enemy's Chinese squadron, but they ignored them. At the same time, they gave the order to advance at full speed. As soon as this order was issued, the captains of the two ships each led eight sailors. He frantically rushed into the hold, rushed to a compartment at the stern, and sat on several rows of small chairs, with both feet on the wooden steps under the chairs, followed by the sound of the bosun's trumpet. They all pedaled with all their strength, and after a sound of machine springs, a big wave suddenly rose below the waterline at the stern of the two ships, and the speed of the battleship, which was already sailing at full sail, suddenly increased. It was a few minutes faster, not only that, but with the passage of time, the acceleration continued. In less than half a stick of incense, the speed was more than twice that of when the sail was full, which was really amazing.

"Commander, the enemy ship is rushing over!"

Under the acceleration of the two ships "Weisun" and "Weining", the fleet of the Dashi Chinese Army, which hastily turned around, had no time to outflank it, and could only watch helplessly as the two ships charged more than ten feet away in front of them. In the past, even though all the big food warships tried their best to fire crossbow arrows and stone bombs, the Datang warships were extremely strong. Immediately, all the attendants standing beside Tari ibn Aibi cried out in shock.

"What? How could this be?"

Tari ibn Aibi had previously focused all his attention on the "Weiyuan", which was in full swing, and had never noticed the acceleration of the two Datang warships. When he saw the two ships approaching, Immediately, he was dumbfounded and didn't know what it meant, which is not surprising, not to mention that Tari ibn Aibi couldn't understand the abnormal speed of the Datang warship, even the real Datang navy would definitely know it when he saw it. The jaw dropped in shock—the tails of the six "Wei" battleships are all equipped with human-driven propellers, which provide additional power for the battleships through the action of gears and levers. The principle is not difficult, but the actual assembly of a complete set is not. It is not easy. The secret laboratory of "Mingdi" has achieved a technological leap after several years of exploration. These devices are definitely revolutionary innovations in the history of the navy. It is a section higher than the boss, and it is the unique secret weapon of this Datang Fleet.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw, full left rudder, quickly!"

The "Rose" that Tari ibn Abi was on was considered a big ship on the Red Sea, with a crew of more than [-] people. The ship was more than one foot above the water, and it was equipped with a giant ballista and two large catapults. , but compared with the Datang battleship, it is like a child. The size alone is far behind the old nose, and it is less than one-tenth of the Datang battleship. The gap between the two sides is too obvious. In view of this, seeing the two Tang warships approaching like flying, Tali ibn Abi did not dare to face the attack of the two Tang warships alone, and waved his hands in a hurry, one after another. A evacuation order was issued in a loud voice.

"Order: Adjust the front and rear sails, tilt to the northeast, and catch the enemy ship!"

Wang Rong's reaction was extremely quick. Seeing that the "Rose" was about to escape with full sails, he refused to let it go. He gave an order to go down, and the "Via Shun" that was rushing forward drew a beautiful arc on the sea. At the same time, Cao Zhendong kept his original direction and rushed straight towards the "Rose" like a sharp knife.

"Full left rudder, full rudder again, quick, quick withdrawal, quick withdrawal!"

Seeing that the "Wesun" turned first, Tari ibn Abby panicked and dared not sail to the left. He hurriedly shouted and directed a group of sailors to turn the bow and try to head towards the port. He retreated everywhere, and as for the troops who were fighting fiercely on the sea, he couldn't care about it at all.

"Rush up and sink it!"

How could Cao Zhendong, the duck that had reached his mouth, let him fly away? Seeing that the "Rose" was completely in disarray, he immediately grinned grinningly, and squeezed out a death command from between his teeth.

"Oh!"

Although the boat is small, it is easy to turn around, but no matter how easy it is to turn around, it will take time to control it. Rao, the sailors on the "Rose" have tried their best, but it is a pity that the goddess of luck is obviously not on their side. After the "Rose" completely turned around, the huge mountain-like "Weisun" rushed forward like sparks, but with a loud roar, the two ships collided firmly, "Weisun" Although the angle of attack of the "Rose" was broken by the huge impact force, the "Rose" was even worse. After a whirl, it quickly sank to the bottom of the water, and the officers and soldiers who jumped off the battleship were either sucked into the bottom of the sea by the vortex, or flopped on the sea surface indiscriminately, begging for help. The situation was really horrible.

It was chaotic, everything was chaotic. When the "Rose" was hit and sunk, the Dashi Navy, which was still shouting and fighting, was in chaos. The fleet entangled in the battle, all turned their bows in a chaotic manner, and retreated towards the port desperately. Everyone in the Datang Fleet was dumbfounded by the panic, and couldn't understand why the previous lion was so like this They soon became sheep. In fact, it is not surprising to put it bluntly. This is a common problem of the Arab army, not only the navy, but also the army. , it is a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Order: All ships are not allowed to pursue, Wei Shun and Wei Ning maintain a forward alert posture, and in addition, put down the small boat and save people!"

Seeing that the enemy fleet had been routed, Lin Hu couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat all over his face, and gave two orders in succession.

The Datang Fleet’s mobility is extremely high. As soon as Lin Hu gave an order, all the ships immediately moved after hearing the order. While gathering their formation, they lowered their small boats to rescue those Dashi soldiers who fell into the water. They didn’t seem to care that those who fell into the water were still As soon as the opponent who was beating his life to death, the expression of the Egyptian governor Yazid ibn Abu, who was standing expressionlessly on the observation deck at the top of the tower, suddenly became brighter, and there was a faint look in his eyes. The complicated look was constantly changing, but he didn't say much, but still silently observed every move of the Datang Fleet.

"If you lose, you lose, you lose, you lose..."

Naturally, Mu'a Via Aben did not have the ability of Yezid ibn Abuna and others to remain unchanged in the face of a landslide. When he saw his own navy returning from a complete defeat, his face instantly turned as white as paper. , whispering incessantly.

"Muah, go talk to Tang Ren Haosheng again."

Yazid ibn Abu observed silently for a while, then turned around suddenly, gave Mu'a Via Aben a serious look, and gave a command calmly.

"Ah I……"

When Mu'a Weiya Aben was full of emotions, he suddenly heard Yazid ibn Abu order his general. He was shocked and stunned. He stared at his brother-in-law dumbfounded, and even Couldn't say a complete sentence.
