Chapter 377 Good business
The most troublesome subject is even now. The floating target and the swaying warships increase the difficulty, especially in this era when targeting entirely depends on visual measurement and targeting, and can only increase density in exchange for accuracy.
.And it is dusk, and the day is the calmest time, and the local warships are large enough to provide the gunner with a good opportunity to make contributions.
The first round of volleys of the Song army warships made two Navy ships of Shi Guo's Navy hit the hull and were hit by shells. The sea water gushed in. The paddler cabin located on the bottom floor was already low and supervised the battle.
The sergeant ran away long ago when he saw this bad, and the paddlers were often held by slaves. In order to prevent them from escaping, they were locked in their seats with iron chains. Even if they wanted to block them, they could not leave. The influx of sea water
Soon the bottom cabin was submerged and went up the upper floor, submerged the second floor of the paddler cabin, and the lost power warship slowly sank like a dead fish!
With rounds of artillery bombardment, Shi Guo's naval warships were also hit one after another. It was okay if they were still bombing, but a few people were unlucky, but they watched their companions be smashed by the roaring iron ball.
The bloody and bloody visual effect is also impactful. If a flowering bullet just falls on the ship, the unlucky one will be a group of people. Neither the chain mail nor the thick bronze shield on them can resist it.
When shrapnel invades, a sound of shrapnel often makes half of the people on the ship get hit, killing and injured. The most terrifying thing is the fire caused by the explosion. At this time, there is no other way except to abandon the ship and jump into the sea.
As for the Song army's "non-contact" style, Shi Guo Navy, who had always relied on collisions and jumping to help board the ship, could not adapt to it for the time being, and could not think of corresponding tactics. The casualties continued to increase. Warships one by one after another
The destruction of the ship greatly affected their morale. They realized that it was difficult to win this battle. The disadvantage at the rear was the port they had just left for a short time. Some mercenaries were unwilling to fight. They were ready to escape if they couldn't win.
The little movements of Shi Guo Navy were soon discovered by the Song army. In order to prevent escape into the port, the squadron commander Liu Zhenwu immediately ordered four warships to cut between the enemy and the port, leaving the enemy with nowhere to retreat. The remaining warships were divided into two columns.
He turned and rushed towards the enemy fleet array. The left column was led by him personally, and the right column was led by Zhang Fan, the captain of the Shenlong, and two columns were inserted into the enemy naval array.
Because the Song army warships rarely need to use the bow to aim at the enemy ship to collide, but require the enemy ships with numerous gun positions to fire violently at the enemy ships, so the combat formation of the fleet began to change from horizontal to vertical
Formation. The ships in the column must be kept at a certain distance. If there are many sailboats participating in the battle, the head and tail of the column must be arranged several miles away. Not only is it difficult to contact and command, but the company will maintain the team when the wind direction is irregular.
It's impossible to shape.
The Song Shuijun realized this problem in the Battle of Jinhai, so he made adjustments to the combat formation, requiring that the vertical formation should not be too long. In other words, there should be no more warships in the column, but the artillery fire of each warship must be strong.
Ensure the combat effectiveness of the fleet. This theory quickly produced a new tactic. The fleet was organized into a single column, first occupying the upper hand, and then approaching the enemy to the range of the gun. Move parallel to the enemy's direction and the cannon is in a horizontal direction.
Destroy enemy ships.
The Song army warships and the enemy were sailing relatively slowly, and rushed in along the gaps in their array. Remember that the Shiguo Navy warships were both happy and surprised. The enemy was happy and could give full play to their advantages in close combat;
The enemy warships are tall and the waves they are unable to get close to, and the collision tactics are not useful. The arc-shaped beak-shaped hooks on the suspension bridge are still unable to get on the enemy ship, so there is no question of jumping and fighting.
.When they were in a state of chaos, the enemy ship's guns spewed out flames again, and there was no run at such a close distance, so they and the ship and people were sent to the bottom of the sea.
Two Song army warships inserted into the enemy group and fired artillery on both sides and kept bombarding the enemy ships. They escaped this round, and the next round was waiting for them, and the waterway to the port had been blocked.
There was nowhere to escape, so he could only be ravaged by the Song ship. When the Song army warships came out through the formation and turned back, there were less than twenty Jishi Guo warships that could still float on the sea, including five or six.
He was injured and could barely floated on the sea.
When he saw the Song army warships catching up against the wind, the heavy losses of the Shiguo Navy had no power to fight again, and they stopped sailing and lowered their battle flags and surrendered. The last ray of sunlight dyed the sea red, and the sound of the deafening cannons was silent.
The smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, and the seabirds returned to the sea. In less than an hour, the naval battle ended. The Song army sunk 32 enemy ships, seriously injured six, captured thirteen, and killed more than 4,000 enemies.
People captured more than 2,000 enemies and sank to the bottom of the sea with the ship. The missing person was helpless and there was almost no casualties on their own. The first large-scale naval battle between the East and the West ended...
When the naval war ended, the siege war came to an end. On the first day of its establishment, the New Song Army was fighting against aliens. Faced with the nomadic peoples who were all in the army, an unwritten rule was formed in the loyal and brave army: for holding weapons
The enemy, both men, women, young and old, can shoot first. It is said that this has been acquiesced by the emperor who has always opposed the murder of innocent people. It has also become an exception in front of Zhao Yi, the law enforcement team leader who has always been selfless and has been known for his harsh law enforcement. No one has been doing this for so many years because of this.
Punished.
This special military discipline, which was not written into military rules, benefited many people, and was passed down in the form of word-of-mouthed generations of veterans, becoming an iron rule to save lives. The subsequent new army was unparalleled from the loyal and brave army.
The kinship of nature naturally brought this military rule to various armies and was also inherited by the Marine Corps. When fighting in a foreign country and not speaking, there is no time to distinguish the enemy and us, and I can't listen to it.
I understand their explanation, but everyone knows that a knife can kill people, and stabbing them into the stomach will lead to death. But killing them can prevent themselves from being killed.
In fact, this seemingly indulgent and indiscriminate killing rules has saved many lives of soldiers. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are unjust souls under guns. The failure to write this into the military rules is to avoid those defenders in the court.
Noisy! Of course, everyone in Shiguo did not forget this iron rule. All those who hold weapons were shot dead, and killing was the common language of the international community. Everyone could understand it at a glance and did not need to translate it at all. This also made Lu
The team was able to quickly calm the resistance in the city, break through the city lord's mansion, and capture the city lord.
The person who escaped from the east gate soon found that he was fooled. The coast here was steep and there was no way to go. The island itself was a large cage. Fortunately, the Song army did not start a big killing at them, but just
The merchants from all over the country and those from Ji Shiguo were separated, and then the rescued merchants of the Song Dynasty came forward to identify them. All those who participated in the robbery, plundered property, and captured them were selected and shot to death on the spot.
Without making things difficult for merchants from all over the country, they were allowed to enter the city to rescue and find their own goods.
The people on the island spent a panic night with sporadic gunshots. The sun had just risen in the morning. The people of the 'Mozhina' who occupied Jishi Kingdom posted a notice saying that the Seljuk Empire's greedy and cruel king
, For many years, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was extremely angry when he heard about it, and decided to act on behalf of the heavens and sent heavenly soldiers to punish him. Now it is found that the Lord of Shiguo City was his accomplice, and he was against the Song Dynasty.
The collection of heavy taxes caused disputes and even used the army to publicly rob and arrested our people in the Song Dynasty. Now, the Ming Dynasty punishes the law of heaven!
The announcement was written in four common words in various countries and posted them all over the island. At the same time, the Lord of Shi Guocheng was executed publicly, and the body was hung on the flagpole to be displayed. The Song Jun, who then took over the island affairs, became the new owner of Shi Guo.
They sent troops to patrol and restore order, and drove the captured soldiers and officials to bury dead bodies and clear the ruins. Then they established a new trading market in the south of the city near the port, claiming that only 20% of the goods value was collected as transaction tax.
The people in the world are bustling for profit. The merchants on the island traveled thousands of miles to throw their homes and risked their lives to come here for money. They thought that after a war, the new occupiers would definitely take their goods.
All of them were confiscated, and then they left with tears and left. But what was surprising was that these 'Moorna' people not only reopened the port and allowed them to trade freely, but also greatly reduced taxes. Merchants pursued profits, as long as
If they have money, they don’t care about the smoke and blood. They immediately set up a tent, spread the stall and start doing business!
But what surprised the merchants was that the "Moorna" soldiers who acted as tax collectors all had the talent to be businessmen. As long as they boarded the ship, they could know how much cargo they carried on the ship. They could estimate their value by just a glance.
It is difficult to deceive, even if the goods are hidden in a very secret place, they can be found. After several battles, the merchants became honest and obediently paid taxes, and no longer dared to be slanderous.
The Song Dynasty navy was born in overseas trade, and many of them were old businessmen. The temporary city lord was once the leader of the largest caravan in South Korea and Fusang. Today, what he did was just to return to his old business and want to use it.
Isn't it delusion that those remaining "trails" they play in turn fool them into fooling them? But if the merchants knew the details of this "Moorna" navy, they would have been honest long ago.
Cheng Xishou, who was on the island, also made up his calculations. The property he confiscated from the city lord's mansion and the official office was enough to offset the military funds consumed during this expedition. In addition, the taxes collected this quarter were basically
It's enough for their navy to spend a year. If they could capture the capital of the Seljuk Empire according to the emperor's plan, wouldn't it be enough to build another Song navy? This is really a fucking good deal... (To be continued
