Chapter 564 (1/2)

When he stepped out of the cabin and came to the deck of the bow of the ship, he saw a Japanese warship floating on the sea not far from the ship's ships. On the surface, a man with a tongue was shouting to Li Chunfeng with the same horn.

After receiving the telescope that couldn't be handed over, I saw that there were dozens of the same Japanese warships in the distance behind the Japanese warship. On each ship were soldiers with complete armor, armed with long hooks, spears, axes and other weapons, they were looking at the front nervously.

”Are you in combat?” Li Hong asked Li Chun's way.

Li Chunfeng, who did not know when his royal highness was standing behind him, was startled when he heard Li Hong's words. After turning around, he looked at Li Hong standing beside him, concentrating on the rows of Japanese warships in the distance.

”Your Highness, you are all ready to go to war.” Li Chunfeng is also a suit of armor, salute said.

”Just explain your intention. If you don't pay for it, you'll start the war immediately.” Li Hong pushed aside the armor handed over by the sky, but took a knife and leaned on the deck.

”Your Highness...” Li Chunfeng is still hesitant.

”Don't be polite to them. Let them see the power of the names.” Li Hong looked at the bow of the Japanese warship, and said coldly.

The Japanese have always been the virtue of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. Only when they are completely defeated, will they respect you, will they be like dogs, and will obey the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

”The crossbow is ready to launch!” Li Chunfeng looked at Li Hong, and his mind was filled with the words of yesterday's Li Hong on the deck, so he ordered in a deep voice.

With Li Chunfeng's orders, the whole ship began to tense up, and the sails began to rise slowly to half, and began to move quickly on the sea like a giant whale.

”Hoo...”

The crossbow, with a plume of smoke, quickly shot out of the porthole and, visible to the naked eye, hit the deck of the nearest Japanese warship.

There is no difference between the arrow of the firerope crossbow and that of the ordinary arrow, but the explosive with lead is added in it, which makes the firerope crossbow explode after being shot into the hull.

As the hull of the most advanced Japanese warship began to be blown apart, the riprap cart on the Japanese warship carried a round ball, which turned from red to black in the air, and flew to the Fu Zhuhao like a human head.

However, before he could get close to the Fu Zhus and still be a hundred paces away from them, he quickly fell from the air and fell into the turbulent sea. Then, at the place where the ball fell, a stream of white smoke suddenly came out.

As the ship began to tilt, the sails on the four masts began to rise slowly and change direction in the air. The Fuzhu also began to cruise in the direction of the dozens of Japanese warships ahead.

”You see, how fast these bastards are learning. The sharp weapon on the warship has been perfectly copied by them, but the range and accuracy are much worse.” Li Hong leans with the boat and laughs at the sea where the white smoke disappears in an instant.

”The Japanese warship is too small, and the melting pot on the warship will not be very big. Just look at the iron ball that has just fallen into the sea. If the range is longer and the accuracy is higher, it can really pose a threat to us.” Li Chunfeng said solemnly.

This kind of iron ball is made by melting molten iron in the furnace installed on the ship. As soon as the red iron ball is formed, it will be quickly thrown to the enemy ship from the rear riprap truck. Once it hits the enemy ship, with the rolling of the iron ball, it will scald and disrupt the formation of soldiers on the warship.

Once the hot iron ball is still contaminated with cloth and other inflammable materials, it will cause fire to the warship at the first time, so that the ships in the naval battle can no longer concentrate on attacking.

In fact, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, there were already warships equipped with furnaces, which used the high temperature of molten iron condensed into iron balls to attack each other's ships.

Cui Zhibian, the commander in chief of the Tang Dynasty Navy, including the defeat of Japanese warships in baijiangkou a few years ago, made the Japanese warships suffer a lot. All the warships were wiped out, and the soldiers were either killed or drowned in the sea.

However, in less than 10 years, the Japanese once again built so many warships, and also introduced this kind of high-temperature iron ball attack means.

We can imagine that if we give Japan another 10 years, its strength at sea will be a major threat to the Tang Dynasty.
