Chapter 643: Whale Swallowing


The Chinese Navy has a long history, and as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, its shipbuilding technology has reached a mature stage.The hull is large, majestic and sturdy, and the deck is built with a high-rise fence to withstand the wind and waves at sea.The well-equipped building ship is a masterpiece of this period.By this time, the navy had developed into a powerful independent branch of the armed forces, specializing in naval combat.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used the navy in both the Pingnan Vietnam and Wei Korean wars, and his fleet of ships numbered as 100,000.By the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was a new development in the navy.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty used the navy many times during his eastern expedition to Goguryeo.Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also built a navy in order to conquer Goguryeo in the east.According to the "Old Tang Dynasty Book of Goryeo Biography", in the 19th year of Zhenguan, Zhang Liang led "40,000 soldiers and 500 warships to Pyongyang from Laizhou" to attack Goguryeo from the seaway.The "Tang Hui Yao" volume 95 "Goguryeo" records: Zhang Liang's naval army of 70,000 people, from which it can be inferred that the 40,000 soldiers mentioned in the old Tang book were soldiers, excluding the auxiliary sailors who drove the boat.At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the navy was huge in scale and very advanced in equipment.In order to meet the needs of operations, naval ships are divided into several types according to their use.According to Du You's "Thirteen Levels of Tongdian Soldiers and Attached to Water Combat Equipment", there were six types of military ships at that time.The first is the building ship, the building ship built by Yang Su in the early Sui Dynasty "rises up to five floors, is more than 100 feet high, and has six poles on the left and right, and is 50 feet high, accommodating 800 soldiers."

In the Tang Dynasty, Du You said: "The ship built three buildings, the female wall, the battle grid, the tree flags, the crossbow window spear hole, the car base stone iron juice, the shape of the city fortress. ”The second is the ship, covering the back of the ship with raw cow skin, the two compartments are opened, there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right, the enemy can not be close, and the arrows and stones can not be attacked.This type of ship is small, agile and fast, and is mainly used for raids, reconnaissance and liaison.The third kind is the fighting ship, there is a female wall on it, it can be three feet high, the hole is opened under the wall, the shed is built five feet inside the ship, and the female wall is built, and the female wall is built on the shed, the enemy is rearranged, there is no back, the front and back left and right tree tooth flags, banners, golden drums, belong to the warship.The fourth is to walk the boat, set up a female wall on the side, cover the husband more, the soldiers are few, all choose the elite of bravery, back and forth like a flying gull, take the time of the people, the golden drum, the flag is listed on the top, and the warship is also.It is mainly used for raids and impacts.The fifth is a yacht, without a female wall, with a paddle bed on the side, left and right with the size of the length, four feet and a bed, the plan will advance and stop, return to the army, turn the formation, and its speed is like the wind.It is mainly used for command and dispatch and reconnaissance, and it is highly mobile and belongs to small boats.The last type, called the sea falcon, has a low head and a high tail, with a large front and a small back, like a falcon.Floating plates are placed on the left and right sides of the board, shaped like falcon's wings, to help the boat.Despite the stormy waves, it can still guarantee that it will not capsize.The back is covered with raw cowhide, and the tooth flag and golden drum are like palms.This river and sea battle ship.In addition, in addition to the commonly used swords, guns, bows and crossbows, naval weapons also include winch crossbows, shooting rods and gun carriages, as well as matching arrows, stones and so on.These are just the basic configuration of the Datang Navy.There are also black fire oil, Molotov cocktails, and some special weapons introduced by Su Dawei, and so on.On the other hand, in front of Tang Jun, it can be said unceremoniously that he is just a younger brother.Except for the large number, nothing else is really good.He also maintained primitive pirate tactics, relying on broadside battles to seize control of the ship.But the Tang Army was completely a dimensionality reduction strike.Through strategy and tactics, the functions of the six ship types of the Tang Army were brought into full play.Often, the Japanese army sank ten ships, and the Tang army only wounded one.By the time the Tang army ships were dispatched, the Japanese army had completely lost its will to fight.Only one way to win and one way to lose.At this moment, the Assassin Heavenly Regiment led by the eldest brother touched Su Dawei's building ship from behind.This Assassin Regiment was so luxurious that it was later recorded in the history of the Wa Kingdom.This group of assassins, led by the eldest brother of the Wa Kingdom.A powerful prince who is expected to inherit the throne of Wa.Beside him was the ghost room Fushin, who was known as one of the two walls along with Dochen in the Baekje Restoration Army.The ghost room Fushin is both the royal family of Baekje and the royal family of Wa.He himself is also an alien who is not weaker than Daochen's level.After the ghost room Fuxin, in the assassination group of the eldest brother, there are three aliens, six weird, and seven half-demons.With this strength in hand, the eldest brother believes that even if the Su I clan is resurrected, it will be enough to sweep away.Except for these seventeen.The remaining more than 400 people are all warriors in the Wa Kingdom, and they belong to the private soldiers of the eldest brother.They are all experienced soldiers.Everyone has seen blood in their hands, and at least a dozen human lives.These hundreds of people, in the hands of the eldest brother, can be used as a thousand.Plus a group of strangers such as Fushinobu Ghost Room.The eldest brother has absolute confidence that he can complete this bargain.As long as the head of the governor of the Tang army is obtained, this battle can unilaterally declare the victory of the Japanese people.Watching the aliens rush to Su Dawei's side.The two half-demons have already cleared the field.The Tang soldiers on the deck of the building ship had suffered heavy casualties and were under control.Now only the governor of the Tang Army, Xiong Jin, and a few generals around him.These people should all be important figures in the Tang Army.Kill a few casually, catch a few, it's a great achievement.Perhaps, users can go to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to exchange a lucrative ransom.The eldest brother's eyes were slightly red.The palms of the hands clenched unconsciously.Sweat oozing from the palms.Then he saw a head rise into the sky.A straight fountain of blood rushed to the sky.It's weird.The blood, as if it had life, didn't spill out.Instead, he rolled out of the boat, swept directly into the waves and disappeared.Someone died, but the boat seemed to be clean.The eldest brother was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.Finally, to his astonishment, he found that the Tang Governor was still standing there.On the contrary, it was a strange shot at him, and his head was gone.A headless corpse lay on the deck, convulsing incessantly.The broken neck was white, and there was not a trace of blood.It seems that the blood of the weird whole body has been sucked away by an inexplicable force.The eldest brother hasn't reacted yet.His hand holding the knife trembled instinctively.Everything in front of me becomes as unreal as a movie slow motion.In the end, the eldest brother saw that more than a dozen strangers, along with the ghost room Fuxin, rushed towards the young Tang Army general.Because of the weirdness and the power of the vitality, the entire space seemed to be inexplicably distorted.All the light and shadow are in confusion.It's as if there's an invisible black hole there.Everything is getting very slow.After a dozen Inhumans, there were soldiers of the Japanese people.By the way, that black hole is nothing else, it is emitted from the Tang Army general.Facing the approaching Japanese people and weirdness, the young general, his mouth moved slightly, and said two words.The eldest brother can understand Tang Chinese.He tilted his ears and remembered that the two words were "whale swallowing".()
