1.82 Meeting on a narrow road
King Ji gave the order. The female Amazon warrior threw oak barrels into the sea.
Seeing the Crow, he lost his cargo and lost weight, and wanted to escape from the light ship. Pirates shouted and waved their swords. Guards in the cabin, struggling to beat slave oarsmen and speeding up the paddles. The paddle sailboat was driven by two forces. The speed of the boat was faster than that of the sailboat. Especially the sailing trajectory could be man-controlled, so the paddle sailboats were more obvious than sailboats and had a significant advantage in naval warfare.
Rumor is that it was the first time for ancient Greeks to build a sailboat. As early as the era described in the "Homera Epic", the Greeks had already cruised the Mediterranean on twenty-alt battleships. Later, it increased to thirty oars and fifty oars. Due to the limitation of the hull, the oar positions were insufficient. Many oar positions were born. The most famous ones were three oars. The three oars had one hundred and seventy oars and one hundred and seventy oars. At the same time, the oars were extremely fast (can maintain a speed of 7.5 knots, up to more than six hours).
Five hundred years, a quick glance.
The Mediterranean, which was dominant in the ancient Greeks, has become a lake in the Roman Empire.
As a large galleon that swallows gold, its glory no longer exists. However, all kinds of galleons are still active along the Mediterranean.
The One Piece flagship in front of me is the three-row galley sailboat.
This ship has shallow draft, slender hull, and extremely small deck. Although it has a sloop to assist navigation, the main power is the power. As far as Liu Bei knows, this type of warship is only suitable for near-sea navigation and cannot escape from the sea. Although its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, it was the main battleship of the early Phoenician Navy, the Greek Navy, the Carthage Navy and even the current Roman Navy.
Initially, it was only for mixed archers and spearmen. Later, metal horns, hook claws, stone crossbows, etc. were installed, and gradually expanded. Five rows of oars warships with 300 oarsmen appeared, making the paddles and sailboats, and even the early Middle Ages, were of great use.
However, since the invention of the invented hanging the spinnaker with the spinnaker, merchant ships have abandoned the galleys.
Just like the lucky ones, the reason is that the cost-effectiveness of the slurry is too low.
Sailing boats are useless to merchants, but they are of great use to pirates. It is one of the sources of slaves. It is good to control and sprint quickly, and it is suitable for surveillance and intercepting passing merchant ships.
Just like now.
The oak barrel was constantly thrown into the sea by the Crow. Then a pirate passed by and salvaged it onto the boat. With one knife, the wine was splattered. It turned out to be the rose apple wine known as liquid gold. Look at the hot lacquer, it is produced in Rome, only for nobles and nobles, and the most expensive Falernian!
It is so expensive that it was abandoned first. It can be imagined that the value it carries on the ship is of great value.
While the pirates were splitting out small boats and salvaging fine wine, they snatched to catch up with the big fish.
Seeing the Crow, he was in a panic. He deviated from the channel and fled to the Naked Island. One Piece sneered, scolded his subordinates loudly, whipped the oarsmen, and accelerated the ship without mentioning it.
"Full sail." Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, King Ji ordered.
Then a crew member moved the mechanism, drove the wheel axle, and slowly turned the mast. The three-masted phoenix wing sail was filled with wind. The soles of his feet flapped, and the waves gradually rose. The crow accelerated to escape.
How can the sloop sail hanging on a galley boat be compared with the three-masted phoenix wing sail?
Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, One Piece was furious. He jumped out of the cabin and chopped several people in a row. His face was full of flesh and his hands were catching the knife, and his murderous aura was impressed. The pirates, silent as if they were cicadas, hurriedly caught the paddlers from the cabin to replace them.
Waving the whip, blood stained on the back.
The slave rose up and rowed desperately.
"Don't panic!" Relieving the anger, One Piece calmed down: "The naked people on the island like to eat human flesh. There are mangroves everywhere, and there is no place to land. Spread the boats and surround the treasure ship."
"Abide by the order!"
Why do you have to be strange about siege and blocking wolves?
The crow's number, the lord's room.
Looking into the distance with a thousand miles of mirror, I saw the pirates' galloping and sailing boats, divided into two, and circled around the island. Liu Bei smiled and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. The lust is so vigilant that he ignores the beginning and end."
How can a group of indigenous pirates know how brilliant the plan is.
As mentioned earlier, Narajirao is composed of three major islands, north, middle, south, and surrounding islands. From north to south, it is in a long series. The coast is winding and the waterways are divergent.
The Crow takes a circumnavigation around Beida Island. It seems to be in a panic and runs into a narrow waterway between Beida Island and Zhongda Island.
Reefs are everywhere on both sides. If you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and the people will die.
At the same time, the pirates who were more familiar with the sea conditions here were also surrounded by two ends and entered the narrow waterway.
Chasing closely, the sun has already set.
"Hahaha--" Seeing that the Crow was at a desperate situation, One Piece kept smiling.
With a knife and a finger, the big and small pirate ships rushed forward.
"kill--"
Although it is not Chinese, I think the pirates must be shouting and beating and killing.
When One Piece flagship also enters the waterway. Liu Bei smiled happily: "The Rocket is."
"promise."
Then there were continuous beads that shot straight into the air.
The ship of the Shuiheng Duwei, who was lying near the outlying island, came out in full bloom.
The sails were like forests, attacking them from front to back. The pirate ships of all sizes were blocked in a narrow road.
The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.
When the boat came from the opposite side, a riot suddenly broke out. One Piece looked back suddenly, and his eyes were suddenly filled with tears.
The Jiguo Tower Ship dominates the world. A mere three rows of galloping boats are really a big deal.
Moreover, the Ji Kingdom's major ships are all "iron-wall plows". The hull is covered with enamel armor, and the bow is under the waterline. The plows are hidden to plow the enemy ships. There are also crossbows, thunderbolts, stone chariots, and other long-range attack weapons.
Wait for range to enter, cast a stone volley.
The stone bullet roared down.
Water columns soar into the sky, broken wood splashes, brains burst and blood are everywhere.
Although the volleys at sea were limited in hits, the number of pirate ships, large and small, surrounded by narrow waterways, rowed oars and concentrated boats, which also made this annihilation battle.
Stone bullets are not as good as oil jars. If they are thrown into oil jars, they will not only be farther away, but also burn them continuously. It is because they are on the middle bait boat, and there is also the King of Ji in front of them. Once the fire is set on, it will burn the sea surface. Our king is in danger.
"Break the siege--" Don't escape at this time, and when will you wait? One Piece flagship is the largest in size. The surroundings are filled with pirate ships, collide with each other, and often fall into the water. The paddles collapse and often occur.
In a panic, the stone bomb attacked again.
How can flesh and blood fight against stubborn stones? Some small boats were even bombarded with multiple bombardments, split into pieces and sink to the bottom of the water.
The giant ship shot from a long distance, and the stone fell like rain.
Anyone hits will cause a bloody collapse. If unfortunately, it will hit and smash it through one after another. In an instant, the ship will be destroyed and the people will be killed. The slave oarsmen will be affected and the ship will sink together.
Witnessing the paddlers, indifferent, and sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Liu Bei suddenly asked: "Why didn't the slaves escape?"
"Report to the lord, all the slaves were locked in the slurry position. The ship was there, and the ship was destroyed and the people were killed. I could not escape in this life." Amina said.
"This is actually happening." Liu Bei couldn't help but frown: "The death to stop shooting."
"Lord?" Amina was shocked: "The pirate licked blood from the knife and was not afraid of death. If he was connected to the white blade, there might be casualties."
"It's okay." Liu Bei said: "Transfer the order, join the front and back, and crossbows break the enemy."
"No." The flag was uttered and the giant ship slowly approached.
"Hmph!" I thought the stones were shot out, and One Piece finally found a glimmer of hope: "Go to the ship to the side!"
"Click the side! Climb the side!" Survived from death, the pirates, with ferocious expressions, raised their scimitars and shouted randomly.
Chapter completed!
