The Struggle of the Reborn Prince
Chapter three hundred and seventy fifth coercion
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." Record the sentry on Shiguo's watchtower first discovered the situation. A warship on the sea was running back with his life, and he kept sending a signal of being attacked.
Two large ships of unknown origin were chasing each other, and in the distance, they could see a fleet of ships who wanted to come here, so they immediately sounded the alarm and sent out a war preparedness signal.
The Shi Kingdom is not big, but merchants gather. Every time during the monsoon season, caravans from all over the country will come to trade, bringing countless rare treasures and gold and silver. In anyone's eyes, they are a rare piece of fat.
I will never have to worry about eating and drinking for several lifetimes. Therefore, wealth often attracts the covetousness of surrounding tribes and pirates. Those with few people and small boats robbed merchant ships halfway, but this often makes little gains, and these small forces will conquer.
The group of people and attempted to rob the island also prompted the country to have a strong armed force to protect.
In order to protect this money bag, there is a standing army stationed on the island. They are all mercenaries hired by the city lord for a large sum of money. They are fierce and good at fighting, brave and powerful, with a number of 30,000 people. They are divided into two armies, including navy and army stationed in Zhonghe.
Harbour. Whenever this time the huge wealth will attract countless bandits, it is naturally the busiest time for them to not only deal with the bandits who may come, but also maintain the security of the island, and stand by 24 hours a day.
Always prepare for emergency response.
Hearing the warning, the well-trained mercenaries immediately went out. The first thing they had to do was to close the city gates to prevent the bandits from entering the city while they took advantage of the chaos. There was a sudden chaos on the island. Although there were not many robbers and bandits, there were still
The ones who passed by would be a disaster for the merchants on the island, not only would they lose all their money, but their lives would be difficult to save. The smart ones rushed to the city without caring about it, and it was important to save their lives first; some were also busy cleaning up
If you want to reduce losses in goods, of course, you must take advantage of the situation and robbery!
For a time, there was a chaotic chaos inside and outside the city on the island, with chaos and dust flying everywhere, mixed with the sound of calling your wife and children. But the city gate was still amid the pleading and angry accusations of the merchants.
After being closed, a large number of soldiers appeared on the top of the city, and they bent their bows and arrows to complete their combat preparations. At this moment, the naval warships in Hong Kong also raised their anchors and sailed to go out to fight, but were occupied by merchant ships who entered the port to take refuge.
I was unable to leave the port for a while.
The chasing Ji Shiguo warship also rushed over at this moment. The shells that kept landing on the side of the ship had already made them frightened. All the paddlers used their energy to eat, but fortunately the port was there
In front of them, they rushed in without slowing down when they entered the port. The merchant ships were in trouble. Some of them were leaking under the collision of warships, some were directly sunk, and other ships were under their brave attack.
They all avoided one after another, and actually opened up a passage to escape into the port, leaving the enemy ship behind.
The two enemy ships that arrived later did not rush to chase into the port. Instead, they lined up and swam outside the port. Their murderous looks also made people understand that they were not here to do business, nor to drink tea.
It was because they were killed. The Shi State soldiers on the city wall also felt that their opponents were not good. But this time, it was not only the other party's tall warships, but also the sailors were not the same as before.
Those Persians, Tuque people, were not even pirates from Europe. They had an oriental face.
Ji Shi's defenders soon discovered the advance ship that arrived first, and hundreds of warships appeared in front of them. After approaching the island, they quickly divided into two fleets, one heading towards the port. The other headed for the other.
The branch entered the strait. The other party's attempt was already obvious. They wanted to cut off the connection between the island and the local area and trap them on the island, but they still couldn't understand why the warships of the Orientals came here without hesitating to sail thousands of miles away.
It reminds them of what they did this morning, were these people from the distant "Mozhina" and they came to take revenge...
Cheng Xishou arranged everything yesterday and returned to the expeditionary fleet. He ordered two Yongzi-class warships to conduct mobile reconnaissance in the direction of Ji Shiguo, and at the same time ordered each ship to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to pull the anchor and enter the battle at any time. News was heard in the early morning.
Come, there was a riot in Jishi State. They dispatched troops to suppress the merchants of the Song Dynasty who refused to pay heavy taxes, and snatched supplies and seized merchant ships. The time was ripe, so he immediately ordered the fleet to dispatch and march towards Jishi State.
The entire fleet immediately formed a team on the sea surface and divided into two squadrons. The main fleet consisted of three test ships, ten god-class warships and five Yongzi-class warships, carrying the Fourth Land Warfare Brigade, serving as the main offensive mission;
The attacking fleet consists of fifteen Yongzi-class warships, transportation and supply fleets. Their mission is to block the straits and land on the ground to prevent the enemy from sending reinforcements to the island.
During this expedition, the Song navy did not dispatch many warships, but they were all large main battleships in the Song navy. Needless to say, the Shenzi and Yongzi class warships have always been the second-generation main battleships of the navy. However, with the test ships, they have always been the main battleships of the second generation of the navy.
Completed the trial sailing and the test launch of weapons and equipment, and became the main battleship of the Song Dynasty Navy. Not only was its hull tall and powerful, but its load-bearing capacity greatly increased. According to current saying, it can reach a level of more than 1,000 tons. This enables it to
Loading more artillery, the firepower is stronger, and the five huge sails provide sufficient power and the speed is not slower than other warships.
In the emperor's plan, five such super warships were to be built. Three of them have now been completed and tested, and the other two are still under construction. However, this has also caused the emperor, who has always been spending military expenditures, to bite them.
The cost of teeth is calculated at 100,000 yuan, not counting the training and maintenance costs of the post-commissioned train, but the five ships forced the emperor to tighten his belt. According to the emperor's plan, each of the four major fleets was equipped with one ship.
As a flagship, the extra ship will serve as the emperor's imperial ship to satisfy his desire to travel around the world, although I don't know when that day will come!
With the entry of these three super warships, the combat methods and functions of the Dasong Navy have undergone major changes: First, the space on the battlefield has expanded, and with the use of artillery, especially the dense equipment of the strait guns, the
Long-distance combat becomes possible; second, the target of naval warfare has changed, and the main target to be eliminated in combat is no longer the opponent's soldiers, but mainly to destroy the opponent's warships; third, the function of the warship has changed, and it is no longer
It is just a means of transportation for loading soldiers, but a combination of ships and artillery connections. It can not only carry out maritime operations, but also provide powerful fire support for coastal land warfare.
Moreover, the large sailing warships are strong and suitable for navigation, and can withstand ordinary sea storms and carry sufficient food, fresh water and military supplies. They can perform combat missions for a long time without the need for shore base supplies.
This has enabled the naval battle to break through the barriers of the near-shore waters and move towards the vast ocean, making maritime expeditions possible, and completing combat missions in areas that cannot be reached on land!
Although the three super warships are good, there are still some problems when naming them. The warships that the Dasong Navy entered the service are all named after the "Shen Guowang Wei Yang", and these three ships are obviously beyond the scope. The Navy Command specializes in this regard.
The meeting held a study and put forward the opinions of re-classification. After approval by the Privy Council, the emperor gave the name. Unexpectedly, the emperor only scanned it and threw the memorial aside, scolding the full man in the Navy Army that he didn't know that the hungry man was hungry. Now he is five
The warship emptied its pockets and wanted to increase them. Furthermore, the classification was readjusted, and the names of almost all warships had to be adjusted, which was also a major project.
But the new ship cannot be without a name when it is put into service. After a brief thought, the emperor asked to use the name of the new ship as the name of the five mountains, and wrote the ship names for the three ships that have been built, and then all sent to participate in this Persian
On the way to the Bay, the super warship became the new level of the "Five Mountains". Now Cheng Xishou is sitting on the "Songshan", followed by the "Huashan" and "Hengshan" two ships are coming to Shi Guo, and they are in front and behind.
It is a warship of the God-class who serves as the outer guards, and the Yong-class who is circling around the formation and is responsible for the alert.
After approaching Ji Shi Guo, the Song army re-formed, anchored in the sea one mile south of the island, lowered the main sail into two columns, and set up a formation. The majestic hull was like several small islands suddenly popping up on the sea, with the top floor
The deck is almost flush with the city wall, and the towering mast exceeds the watchtower. When you stop, you feel stuffy in your chest, and the invisible pressure makes you breathless. You feel like you can't help but bend your knees and worship...
"Send someone to see where they are from and what do you want to do?" The Lord of Shiguo City heard the warning sound and hurried to the city to observe. The scene in front of him made his face look extremely ugly. He kept swallowing his spit and said, but he
It’s not because of envy, but because of nervousness. I don’t know which evil god came to visit.
"You, you, go out of the city immediately to ask. Is it because I'm spending a lot of money to invite you to watch the fun?" The city lord asked twice, but no one was involved. In anger, he clicked his two subordinates around him and asked them to do so.
They went out of the city to negotiate, and the two men were as sad as if they were dead fathers.
"City Lord, the enemy ship has sent people to the shore!" Just as the city lord was frightened and angry, a soldier on the city pointed to the sea and said.
"Call all the interpreters in the city to see which country they are?" Looking into the distance, I saw a small boat dropping off the largest enemy ship, and then a few people got off on the boat, and paddled hard to row towards the shore
Come on, I remember that as an international market, Shiguo has people from all countries, and now I can’t tell where the visitor is. I can only find all the translators in case I just need them from time to time.
"Listen to the people in the city, we are the escort fleet of the Great Song Dynasty Navy. You will immediately release the merchants and sailors who seized our country and return the goods to compensate for the losses. Otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!" The visitor walked to the city and looked up and shouted loudly.
Dao…(To be continued...)
