Chapter 38 Collision
The manpower brought by Qi Zhengyan was basically a regular army with no strength.
That is to say, after the general situation was over, they retreated in an organized manner.
There were 395 people and 25 cavalrymen, most of which were warriors; each cavalry led the Yi Erlang Party, the Four and Five Peasants were light, and most of them were complete military equipment, forming the backbone of combat. The ship carried twelve horses and fourteen pack horses.
Don’t ask why horses are counted on their heads. Chen Mu now thinks that Mongolian horses are not low.
There were hundreds of Japanese pirates, rich and poor, and several of them were fully equipped with armor. The weapons ranged from spears, spears, swords, and swords to throwing arrows. They were also considered to be a job.
The Ming army's iron cannon team with a scale of the general flag, they used real iron cannons. Qi Zhengyan purchased a very distinctive iron cannon nearby through the Jieshang Xiao Xilosso. Their characteristics are fine workmanship, different lengths, and different calibers, but they look good.
He even brought three messengers, which looked better than the three hundred households, because they could fight alone.
Due to limited troops, large corps operations are definitely not good, but scattered combat is their strength.
After contact between Long Junxiong and Liandou and the Japanese soldiers, it was confirmed that they were indeed what Qi Zhengyan said and were defeated in Japan. Because he had a way, he escaped. His future is uncertain and he had no other ideas. Just like other Japanese pirates on Luzon Island, he wanted to work hard to make a living.
But after all, it is a regular army there, and its military quality is better than the gangsters under the Lotus Dog.
"This is a map. In the next battle, the lord asked us to go out to sea with Toshio. We might board the ship and seize the ship. For each warship, we would reward 200 guan of good money." Qi Zhengyan spread a sketch to show the navy soldiers, Nasa, Niesuke, and the samurai soldier who had rescued by him, saying, "If there is no naval battle but only land battle, we will reward 100 guan of good money after winning."
Money can be divided into good and evil. For example, Japan's own money and severely worn Song money will be called evil money. Ming money has become the most good money flowing into Japan because of Yongle Tongbao as a tribute trade currency.
The 200 stakes of good money in Qi Zhengyan was added to 200 taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty and 1,500 taels of silver in Japan, so Qi Zhengyan didn't say that the money was going to be small.
"The lord never stings in rewards, and he has made merits in his battles. The amount of money is all about his loyalty."
Nasa Nissuke looked at Qi Zhengyan who was very interested in giving orders and said for a moment, and Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Hehe, it seems that Zhengyan is going to be a general now--I understand, seize the ship and kill the enemy, and win Chen Shuai's trust!"
Here, we still have to rely on Qi Zhengyan!
On the second day of August, Manila Bay.
boom!
There was a loud noise on the sea surface, and a shark boat from Nanyang Guard hit a Fu Ship that was damaged in a typhoon. The explosion of the impact angle exploded and opened the hole in the hull. The shark boat crashed into the hull without any obstruction in the sky, following the gap, and almost the entire bow of the boat plunged into the Fu Ship, almost as if it was riding on it.
Chen Mu nodded slowly on the shore, put away his telescope and said to Chen Lin beside him: "The keel should have broken at this depth."
"It was broken, much bigger than before." Chen Lin still held the telescope, with a dilemma on his face, and said, "It would be inappropriate to send such weapons to Nanyang Guard at this time. How good would it be if it had been thirty years earlier?"
Chen Mu nodded, agreeing with Chen Lin's words very much, and said: "Although we know that sea artillery battles are better than jumping battles, we will inevitably encounter jumping battles, and prepare some ships that change the horns. When jumping battles, hit him hard."
As he said that, Chen Mu sighed: "Although Lao Guan made this thing a little expensive, it is very useful. Hey! Is it sunk? It's sunk."
With just one impact, the explosion angle on the waterline breaks the hull, reducing resistance and causing the hull of the same speed to crash into the hull, which will directly hit a slightly smaller bus.
Chen Mu even believed that even if the enemy ship was bigger, this impact would sink the enemy ship because the breach was too big, and the cracks and loopholes under the water line were not temporarily repaired by the boatman.
This power is because of Lao Guan's progress in skills. The old man has been tinkering with things related to artillery and warships in the Nanyang Guard. Chen Mu brought back a large number of excellent skills from the Qi family army from the north for him to learn. At the same time, he was teaching military artifacts in the Navy Military Academy, and he accidentally made a new collision.
In fact, the impact of the corner is no longer of much use to Chen Mu's fleet. The larger hull and most of them have no oars, and more artillery. These big guys who are preparing for the ocean are not strong at close range. He even planned to clean up the crazy man on the sea and then remove the impact of the corner on the new warship.
But Guan Yuangu's idea is still very good. He used a semi-solid metal collision angle, put hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder in it, and inserted it into the existing upper and short lower collision angles on the bow of the ship, forming an explosion collision angle. There are two biggest technical difficulties.
One is to make the splicing stronger and Nanyang Wei's better metal fine rice processing plays a role; the other is the ignition mechanism of the impact angle explosion. Lao Guan used Qi Jiguang's steel wheels to ignite in the northern landmines.
When the impact angle hits something, the middle part will sink, and the two sharp sections pierce into the hull, and the middle position will be squeezed and moved by the ship, pulling the internal frame, and the steel wheel quickly rubs against the flint and ignites, igniting gunpowder. This fire mechanism determines that only when the impact angle hits into the enemy ship will fire, and then there will be a loud bang.
Fourteen taels of silver exploded with the hull of the enemy ship. The cracks would expand into holes with the immediate impact of the warship, and would be holes that could be stuffed into the entire bow of the ship.
In fact, this thing is more than fourteen taels, but the cost is indeed so high, because it only requires a lot of iron and gunpowder. As for the wages - no, Chen Mu does not need wages, and now his craftsmen are all receiving their salary.
This idea is amazing!
After two experiments with Nanyang Gu, Guan Yuangu sent someone to bring two corners and a new bow shark boat to him for his try.
Chen Mu was very satisfied as he watched the lucky ship that was damaged in the storm slowly sinking, saying: "In the future, each fleet can prepare a ship like this, five hundred shark boats, big boats and small boats can be hit by the normal battle. Those Western barbarians must be chasing us to hit, thinking they are invincible in the world."
Chen Lin continued at this time: "It is indeed invincible in the world. I have read the military books on the battle of the Western Yihai. We are far inferior to them when it comes to jumping into the battle."
"It doesn't matter. A fleet of six boats, five of them are hiding from them. If a shark boat hits, they will definitely not expect that when they hit, they will send a boat of people to feed the fish. Moreover, this method of fire should not be placed on the bow of the boat, but in the cannon or in the shell."
"Um?"
Chen Lin turned his head in surprise and saw Chen Mu holding his arms and looking at the sea, his eyes deep and delusional in his face.
