Chapter 249 Seizing Power
Zhao Bing calculated that if the enemy's main fleet had about ten warships lined up, they would take 500 of them, and they would have to be as many as fifty rows. They kept a distance of 100 steps, and they would have to be ten miles long, thus forming a square formation with a front width of two miles and a depth of ten miles.? �
"It can only be a victory in chaos!" Zhao Bing murmured after observing for a while. The widest part of the dragon boat is more than three meters, and the oar is three meters long, totaling nine meters, which is about twenty steps. In other words, the dragon boat can be unobstructed if it has a width of twenty steps. The enemy ships are separated by hundreds of steps, like crisscrossing lanes. The dragon boat can use its good mobility to insert it into it. The two sides of the crossbow can shoot at the same time, and the attack range is doubled. Moreover, their boats are thick in the skin, and have a fireproof layer, and have strong natural protection. As long as they are not hit by the giant rod, there will be no problem.
"Turn to the south, rammed the enemy ships, crippled them and then faced the central army!" Zhao Bing observed that the enemy's central army was about ten miles away from the battlefield. Even if their large warships were sailing and kept sailing at seven quarters, it would still take more than half an hour. The brigade's marching was impossible to maintain this level in order to take care of the slow warships. Therefore, he still had half an hour to deal with the front army, but he did not need to sink them all, as long as most of them lost their combat effectiveness.
"Your Highness, the command is the command of the ship, and the command of the team is the courageous. I can't respect the order!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said. Although he was not killed by His Highness yesterday because of the pilotage, he was scolded by the commander. He claimed that if there was such a thing, he would take his own head with his own hands.
"You..." Zhao Bing had no choice. He was called self-binding. Who told him to promise not to interfere in command before the war? And Zhang Hao said it was not his direct leader, and he did not lose his command ability. Of course, he could not command easily, and he could not kill people on this ground. I think Chen Renweng was sure of this.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. If your Highness has an unexpected accident, the Defender Army will die for a hundred deaths!" Zhang Hao lowered his head and waited for his highness to be angry, but for a while, he had no sound. He looked up at the helpless look on his highness apologized.
"Hmph, I can't do anything about this?" Zhao Bing snorted coldly and sat down. He knew that Chen Renweng's command was more conservative, one was on the ship. In addition, this was the first time that the Defighting Army had participated in actual combat after it was formed. No one could understand the combat power. Moreover, the enemy had to leave room for room for the moment. But this battle could not be retained. However, if Chen Renweng's control was removed, it would damage its majesty, and it would be difficult to control the Defighting Army in the future. It was a dilemma.
"Your Highness, the war is rising from Qixing Ridge!" Zheng Yong suddenly reported loudly.
"Oh, it's great, reinforcements are expected!" Zhao Bing picked up the telescope and looked towards Qixingling, and saw three smoke pillars rising. According to his agreement with Liu Zhu, a smoke rose up to indicate that the strait the court was walking in, and the second smoke was heading to Leizhou. There was no need to ask about the three smoke, which indicated that he had already led his troops to aid.
"Protect Your Highness, open the crossbow window, and shoot the enemy soldiers who are approaching!" Zhang Hao's existing enemy ships took advantage of the gap between the dragon boats and rushed up regardless of the casualties. He immediately put the soldiers on guard to prevent the enemy ships from approaching. Due to the limitation of the pitch angle of the crossbow, light boats such as close boats entering the shooting dead corner were powerless and could only rely on the soldiers to deal with them.
Zhao Bing followed the crossbow window to observe, and found that although the enemy's vanguard had been disrupted at this time and some warships were damaged, they were still combat-effective. After the enemy general calmed down from the initial panic, there were only 2 or 30 warships in the enemy's army. They immediately divided dozens of light boats, paddle boats and medium-sized warships, turning around to fight, and gaining time for the large warships to turn and seize the limelight.
"Hey, block me!" Zhao Bing wanted to take a closer look. Ni Liang waved his hand and more than a dozen guards came forward with a large shield in his hand to surround him in the middle, so as not to fly in through the crossbow window and hurt Your Highness. This way, he blocked all his vision, and he could not see the situation outside even if he jumped high.
"Your Highness, stop shouting!" Ni Liang blocked his highness and said in a deep voice.
"You...you all bully me, when I grow up, it depends on you!" Zhao Bing was so angry that he cursed unrestrainedly, but he knew that Ni Liang would not let go at this time.
"Crash them, those small boats can't stop us, don't fight with them!" Zhao Bing, who had shouted for a while, saw that there was no effect. At this moment, the soldiers had already started shooting in turn, but he could only hear the "bang bang" sound released by the bowstring, the banging sound of arrows hitting the shore and the shouting of enemy soldiers. Zhao Bing, who was eager to see the situation outside, lowered his figure and used his small figure to search for the gap between the shield and peek out. Seeing that an enemy ship had been inserted in front of him, he had already been attacked by two enemy ships in front of him. He knew that the dragon ship would lose its mobility and would not help but shout.
"Oh, why avoid it? What a great opportunity!" Hearing the shout of Your Highness, Zhang Hao just hesitated for a moment, ordered the rudder to turn, give up the enemy ship, and ordered the suppression with crossbows. This made Zhao Bing sigh.
But at the same time, Zhao Bing understood a problem. The Burning Army used to be a local naval army and was equipped with small and medium-sized warships. Under normal circumstances, they did not dare to collide with enemy ships. After modifying the dragon boat, although they had conducted training in this area and had collision drills, the generals' army was too poor to take out a good ship, and the big ships made them really hit. Now, after entering actual combat, these officers knew it was a good opportunity, but they still couldn't overcome that hurdle in their hearts.
"Ouch!"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Bing asked hurriedly when he heard the scream.
"Your Highness, Commander Zhang is shot!" Ni Liang frowned and replied.
"Save people quickly, why are you still surrounding me?" Zhao Bing said anxiously after hearing this.
"How is it?" Ni Liang hesitated for a while, and still let his highness come out until the crack was released, but he still did not withdraw the shield formation, but only expanded the scope. Zhao Bing rushed closer and saw an arrow inserted in Zhang Hao's thigh and asked hurriedly.
"Your Highness, it's not a problem, it's just hurting your flesh!" Zhang Hao lifted up his battle robe and said.
