"Full speed ahead" Mi Yuan was roaring loudly, not only the warship under his feet was breaking through the big waves and moving forward, but there were also friendly ships on the left and right who were willing to fight to the death.
Fifteen ships faced hundreds of enemy ships, and as they charged forward, the Gupta Grand Fleet reacted quickly, and Katruk Karp did not know why he only sent the same number of ships to meet them.
The two fleets of equal numbers soon clashed, and it was the first burst of crossbows to come into range, waiting to come within range of bows and crossbows, and there was another area of the sea that always streaked through the sky like a meteor.
In rainy weather, ordinary fires can't burn for a long time, but the rockets used in the war are not tied to cloth strips and ignited, even if they are basically processed with some oil, the Han army uses fierce fire oil, and the Gupta Dynasty uses untreated crude oil, but no matter what kind of oil is used, as long as it is repeatedly rained, it will be quickly extinguished.
It's not easy to make a spot burn under the rain, and it's usually a shot at an enemy soldier carrying an oil can, or simply a shot at an enemy grease storage facility, so that the fire is strong enough to withstand the heavy rain.
In this situation, despite the fact that the two sides are shooting at each other very lively, in fact, the destructive power to the warship buildings is very limited, and the lethality to personnel is no different.
On the other hand, due to the influence of the rain, the range of various long-range attack weapons will inevitably be shortened, and after the bowstring and crossbow string are wet by the rain, the string will gradually become soft, and it will soon lose its tension, even if it can still shoot, but in fact it will not shoot far.
"Rush over and hit it directly" Mi Yuan saw that the fire in the front water village of his home port was not small, and there were already Gupta warships that began to approach the water village, and he was nervous and confused in his heart, and he really didn't understand what was going on.
He was in a hurry, and he didn't have the patience to rub shoulders with the enemy ships: "Engage in broadside battles" When the captain of the ship gives an order, it is natural that the first mate and relevant personnel will convey the order layer by layer.
On top of the ship, the soldiers abandoned their bows or crossbows, replaced them with small shields and melee weapons, grasped the surrounding objects that could reduce the force of the collision, and waited for the upcoming broadside battle.
"Ding 26 sent a signal that they are about to start a collision and jump gang" "Do it" "No" These Han warships that carried out the sabotage war, they really didn't know a series of plans of the home port, and at the same time, they felt incredible that the front of the water village was broken through so quickly, and at the same time, they were driven by a sad and indignant mood, and they really wanted to fight with the enemy.
The rain has been falling on a small scale, and when they look at each other dozens of meters apart, the silhouettes of each other will actually be a little blurry.
In this weather, the wind appeared erratic, and after the two sides entered the combat mode, the ships actually lowered their sails and switched to oar power.
In addition to lowering the sails, in addition to the erratic wind, in fact, they also prevent the open sails from being ignited by rocket shots.
The sound of the oars slapping against the sea was drowned out by too many sounds on the battlefield, and Gupta was actually too late to evade it when they found out that the Han army was about to attack.
"Steady, steady, steady" A dull crash was heard in the collision of the ships, followed by a "crunch" of wood that transmitted the twisting of the hull.
The warship where Mi Yuan was located hit the Gupta warship with its bow and half of the Gupta warship, and when it hit, it directly broke through the hull and got in.
When the two ships collide, people on the hull of the ship can feel as if they have been pushed by a huge force in an instant, and it is better to grasp the object and fix it, and those who can touch it will really fall to the ground and roll the hoist.
"Reversing, immediately reversing the damage to the hull of the enemy ship, there is no value in jumping gang battles, find another target" Once the ship is damaged under the water level, the seawater will be tilted and poured under the action of water pressure, and the breach can be plugged naturally and can be rescued, once the hull made of wood is broken, there is a large number of naval water, there is no waterproof hatch, and it is not easy to block, and soon the cabin will be filled with seawater, and it should be tilted in an instant, and it will not take long for the whole ship to sink.
"If the bow of the ship leaks and can't be blocked, it will fight until the warship sinks to the bottom of the sea" In the final analysis, they are all wooden ships, no matter how strong the hull structure is, it can't withstand the impact, whether it is actively hitting people or passively being hit, there will inevitably be water leakage, and the difference is which part is used to withstand the impact force.
The sound of the collision in this sea area was heard one after another, and in an instant, two warships could be seen everywhere with various parts next to each other.
Not all Han warships can be as lucky as Mi Yuan's one, hitting the enemy ship halfway up as soon as it hits, more of the bow collides with each other, and then begins to diffuse each other at close range, the soldiers of the two enemy warships are trying their best to transition to the enemy ship, usually throwing a rope with a hook to the enemy ship, swinging like an ape, and there is a picture of soldiers constantly falling into the sea.
War is to use all the violent means that can be used, as long as it can destroy the enemy is a good means, to the desperate stage of the two warship formations, can see that they are next to each other, and are still controlling the bed crossbow to fire at the enemy, and can throw incendiary canisters at each other to throw desperately old times.
"It's really intense" Ergutai Bahram deliberately let the fleet approach, looking at the scene of a mixed fight, he muttered for a while and said: "Put down the boat, and when you lean over, you will save the Han soldiers when you see them." ” In any battle on the surface of the sea, it is inevitable that someone will fall into the water, and they will definitely not die for a while, depending on how long the sea temperature can last, whether they are friends or enemies, they will have to wait until the end of the battle to get the chance to be saved.
The Persian Sassanid side was hostile to the Gupta dynasty and was subconsciously friendly to the Han Chinese, and Ergutai Bahram did not mind helping the Han people where he could, but more wanted to get in touch with the Han people, and it was best to learn about the situation in the East from the Han people's mouths.
The Gupta dynasty had long since noticed that the Persian Sassanid fleet was approaching, but they did not make any moves, not even sending warships to reinforce their own formations that were caught in the fierce battle.
"Win or lose, fifteen ships don't matter at all in such a big battlefield."
Katruk Karp paid more attention to the attack on the Han army's water village, and asked: "The striker has already been killed" The Gupta formation led by Zampt Warren was indeed close enough to the Han army's water village, and the warships under his command did not suffer major losses in the process of approaching, that is, each warship was full of arrows.
There was no means of long-distance communication on the Gupta dynasty's side, and Zampt Warren sensed something wrong, such as the Han army's water village also had too many burning points, and then the resistance was only fierce at the beginning, but gradually weakened later.
The most important thing is that he did not find any signs of the Han army sending any warships to resist, which is actually very strange for the latter point.
In the event of an attack on a military port, any navy will do its best to put the warships in the harbor into a state of operation, even if it is only to make the warships move, it is definitely much better than staying where they are, and whether they can put up effective resistance is another matter.
It's raining today, and the Han Empire didn't notice in time that our fleet was approaching Zampt Warren felt that this could be explained: but even if there was no reaction from the front, there should be action from behind There is another suspicion, that is, the fire in the Han army's water village should not be so big on a rainy day, if Zampt Warren can find that there are only front rows of warships moored in the berth in the military port, he will inevitably react, but because the water village is on fire in a large area, the smoke is too thick.
When Katruk Karp received that the leading formation had entered the Han army's water village and encountered no effective resistance, although he felt a little easy about the smooth development of the war, he thought that the Gupta dynasty was really strong, and did not think in other directions.
Seeing that Katruk Karp intended to let the whole fleet join the battle, Kapil Marik said appropriately: "It seems that the warships of the Han Empire are unable to launch effective resistance, and most of their warships may be out, so do you want to leave the necessary warships in case the warships of the Han Empire go out suddenly return?"
Katruk Karp also thought so just now, thinking that most of the warships of the Han Kingdom were out to carry out sabotage warfare, and they were not prepared for the lack of intelligence support for their surprise attack, and when he heard it, he said to Kapil Marik with appreciation: "You are very good." ” At the suggestion of Kapil Marik, Katruk Karp simply left the formation to which Kapil Marik belonged and ordered regional ships to participate in the battle.
Kapil Marik was very depressed about being left behind, and regretted why he had talked so much.
Maybe it's a matter of God, but it's actually a fickleness of nature, and just when Katruk Karp decided to break through and launch a landing operation, the rain actually stopped.
On the coastal line where the fighting took place, the forward facilities of the water village were basically finished, and the water was full of drifting wood, and there must have been the corpses of fallen soldiers.
The most is the black smoke emitted from the combustion, especially the burning of the arrow tower facility, which directly turns into a huge torch.
"The situation is not right" Zampt Warren had penetrated deep enough into the Han army's water village, he finally found that the number of warships anchored in the harbor was wrong, and the resistance of the Han army was too small, and in the end, he simply did not see organized resistance: "Can you observe the land?"
The battlefield was full of smoke, and it was not easy to observe, and there was too little useful information gathered on Zampt Warren's side, but it showed that the Han army was massing forces on land, as if it were trying to block the landing.
Zampt Warren received the information that left to remove some doubts: "The naval warfare shown by the Han Empire in the past few months only relies on strong weapons, and the tactics have no skills at all, which confirms the rumor that the Han Empire only has strong combat capabilities on land. ” Catluk Karp, who had already led the Grand Fleet in the approach action, received news from the rear that it had previously sent an equal number to fight with the Han warship formation, and that three of its own ships were sunk, seven of them were defeated in the gang jump, and only five were evacuated.
"The Han Empire only sank two" Catluk Karp was very surprised by the news: "Six of the other side stopped in place, and the remaining seven came after us" Some of the six Han warships that were parked in place were forced to stop in place for repairs because of water leaks, and some had to be extinguished due to fires that broke out in the battle, and they were also doing the same rescue as the Persian Sassanid boats to rescue people who fell into the water.
Didn't Kapil Marik stay, he watched with his own eyes the only seven Han warships approaching him, and said to Dijan Makuer: "I really don't know whether to say that they are stupid or brave enough to do their greatest duty, and they can already account for the victory, but they still don't have the strength to continue the charge." ” The same sentiment was expressed by Ergutai Bahram, whose courage was enough to attack hundreds of ships in the first fifteen ships, but only seven ships remained but did not give up the attack, and as a Persian, he preferred to evaluate the actions of warriors.
Kuslauso Rodeas stopped Ergutai Bahram's willingness to fight side by side with the Han warships, and said with great regret: "Their warships have the courage to fight, but the number is really too small, and it is obvious that the Han Empire is not strong enough at sea. ” There were only fifteen Han warships that had appeared on the battlefield from beginning to end, and they could win the victory in the same number, but the number of both sides was really large, and the development of the battle situation showed a one-sided trend with the Han army's water village being broken through, which really made the Persians watching the battle not have much confidence in the Han navy.

"The mainland of the Han Empire is too far away from here."
Ergutai Bahram stared at the smoke-filled coastline from afar, and then at the Gupta navy marching in high spirits: "If the Han Empire does not have enough warships, what is the use of holding the land?"
On land, Huan Wen is located on top of a mountain, and as the rain stops, you can see the battlefield in full view.
He could even see his only seven warships surrounded by the Gupta Navy's fifty or so ships firing long-range attack weapons.
"Let the enemy land first."
Huan Wen is in control of the entire battle situation, and for his own side to lose fifteen ships or even more, it is actually counted within the range of losses.
He held his binoculars and looked in the direction of the deep sea, and said calmly: "Let the beachhead troops resist as much as possible and then retreat, and if necessary, they can give up the second line of defense." ” The water village can be rebuilt if it is gone, and a limited number of battle losses are also within the acceptable range, what Huan Wen wants is to create an environment to destroy the enemy in a war, and everything else is secondary
