back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 293 Late Night "Visit"

The warship broke through the waves, and the sound of the water was rushing.From a distance, this speed is not fast.But this is already the result of all the minions on the warship taking turns trampling on the bottom of the ship.Even if it is a short-distance charge with a warship, it doesn't look like this.

You can't hurry, now the entire Liangshanshuipo is almost the territory of the Flying Fish Gang.Zhu Quanyu's warship must be the target of their hunt.Now that Zhu Quanyi has decided to return to Dashun and seek the protection of the imperial court, he must find the place where the forbidden army is stationed as quickly as possible.

Zhu Quanyu didn't want to submit to the court, but he had no choice.With Hutouwu's eyesight, he couldn't see through the tricks of the Flying Fish Gang. As for that stupid Wan Tong of the Xueshan Society, how could he see through it?

In desperation, Zhu Quanyuan, in order to save Bai Tongyu and himself, still bit the bullet and took his minions, and drove over according to the location of the Dashun Navy in his memory.

Zhu Quandi had already waved away the minions beside him, feeling depressed, finally couldn't sit still, and walked out of the cabin.He didn't expect that he was already in his forties, but he suffered the worst defeat in his life.

It would have been great if he had listened to Bai Tongyu's persuasion back then, but it's a pity that there was no if!
With a heavy sigh in his heart, he stared at the flagship on which he had poured so much effort.This flagship has three types of power.The first type is the sail that is used to move forward with the help of the wind on weekdays.The second type is the oars that are usually equipped with vehicles and ships.And the third type is the reason why this kind of vehicle and ship is different from other warships.

This kind of vehicle and boat was improved by a man from Li Gao in the middle of the previous dynasty.As for when it was invented, it will not be put into the history books.However, this did not hinder the vigorous development of this "fast as flying" car and boat.Of course, this kind of speed is only relative to this era. Ships that use human power are no match for later generations of ships powered by machines.

The biggest advantage of this kind of vehicle and boat is that it can run smoothly in big rivers and lakes, advancing and retreating like flying.And the shortcomings are also obvious.There are mainly two aspects, one is that it cannot sail in shallow water, and the other is that it cannot enter the sea.

The main driving force of the speedy car and ship comes from the power room under the cabin, relying on human stepping to drive the wing wheels on both sides of the ship's side, and using the principle of transmission to drive the blades, it can fly quickly on the water.

Zhu Quanyuan's chariot and boat was 24 feet long, 190 foot [-] feet wide, and [-] feet [-] feet [-] inches high. It was hard to imagine that it was made entirely of wood for such a colossal object.This car boat is twelve cars, with [-] wheels and [-] two paddles.

The 24-car vehicle and boat show that if you want to drive this vehicle and boat with human power, you need at least [-] sailors to move forward at full speed by pedaling hard.As for the entire flagship, if it is fully loaded with soldiers, it can hold more than [-] soldiers.

Such a flagship, at this time, can indeed be ranked among Liangshan Shuibo.But compared with the largest warship built in the Song Dynasty in official history, it pales in comparison.The Southern Song Dynasty paid great attention to the construction of warships due to the emergency of river defense.According to historical records, the largest chariot and boat built in the Southern Song Dynasty actually had 53 chariots and 53 wing wheels!Calculated according to Zhu Quanyuan's warships, forty chariots are at least 53 feet long! 160 What is the concept of length?The Song ruler is [-] feet, which is equivalent to [-] four meters in later generations.

It is shocking that this kind of ship is actually comparable to the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty.It's a pity that this kind of vehicle and boat cannot go to sea before it is modified.

Of course, Zhu Quanyu didn't know that there are people outside of people, there is sky beyond the sky, and the truth that a boat is still as big as a boat.Previously, he was satisfied with his own flagship, but unexpectedly, during the battle with the Flying Fish Gang, Fan Jianglong Youjun's warship was five or six feet longer and more than a foot wider than his own.

As soon as such a flagship came out, the morale of the Azure Dragon Gang was severely hit, and the result was self-evident.

"Hey, after tonight, this boat will no longer be in my possession..." Zhu Quandi sighed inwardly, but out of the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed the shore of the water.

"It's here so soon?" Zhu Quanyu was a little surprised. He didn't know that under the threat of death, people often burst out their greatest potential.Those sailors in the power room explained this truth well.

Through the moonlight, Zhu Quandi saw the small water village of the Dashun Navy.In the brightly lit water village, the sailors and soldiers inside seemed to have spotted them too.

That's right, anyone who is not blind can see such a huge flagship.

The sentinel on the sentry tower with eyes drooping and half asleep, suddenly saw this huge vehicle and boat approaching by the wind, was startled, and stammered, shouting: "Water... the water thief is here, the water thief is here!" Here come the thieves, here come the water thieves..."

As soon as he bluffed, the soldiers of Dashun who had already fallen asleep immediately woke up from their sweet dreams.They took up the weapons beside them one after another, and they rushed out of the tent without taking a few breaths, ready to defend against the enemy.

Shi Chengxing, the commander of the navy, was half drunk and half asleep. After being told the news by his own soldiers, he was so frightened that he woke up from the wine. He immediately asked: "How many people are here? Go and inform the imperial army. Let them come for reinforcements!"

The soldier who had never seen Shi Chengxing was so panic-stricken that he stood there for a while.It wasn't until Shi Chengxing put on his armor and kicked him that he reacted: "Commander, there is only one big ship coming, and it is estimated that there will be no more than two hundred water thieves at most..."

Shi Chengxing was also stunned: "A ship with less than 200 people? How is it possible..."

Before he could figure out what the intention of the water thieves was, the soldier was almost out of the camp of the Chinese army, Shi Chengxing stopped the soldier: "Forget it, if there are really two hundred water thieves, don't be afraid. Tell the brothers to light the torches, so as not to fall into the tricks of water thieves. The rest, guard the water fortress, and are not allowed to go out without my order, understand?"

After Shi Chengxing issued the order, he picked up the plain knife, put on his tasseled helmet, and left the tent of the Chinese army fully armed.

Bypassing the trap in front of the Chinese army's tent, Shi Chengxing came to a female wall and used the cover to look at the huge vehicles and boats that were slowly approaching.

Shi Chengxing's eyesight was good, and he vaguely saw a white flag hanging above the car and boat, and he couldn't turn his head for a moment: "What kind of tricks are these water thieves trying to play?"

The vigilance in my heart has deepened. There is a saying that "the one who comes is not good, and the one who is kind will not come"!Shi Chengxing, who cherishes his life so much, is naturally cautious, and dare not be negligent towards these water thieves.

The vehicles and boats moved slowly, and did not stop there until they were more than [-] feet away from the water village, because a few feet further on, there would be shallow water areas that vehicles and boats could not reach.All the water thieves in Liangshanshuipo knew that there was a warship trap outside the water stronghold of the Dashun navy.Although the navy's warships are all parked next to the water village, these warships came in according to a certain path.If others broke into the water stronghold without knowing it, the bottoms of these vehicles and boats would definitely be punctured by the sharpened hidden stakes in the water until they sank.
