Chapter 453 Shipbuilding

An incredible scene occurred.

Qin Huaidao rushed forward and cut down more than a dozen people in one breath. He found that his men were like wolves and tigers, charging and slashing fiercely, chopping melons and vegetables, and no one could stop them. He pushed forward and crushed them with a one-sided massacre.

Everyone uses the Eight Breaking Swords taught by them. They are wide open and closed, simple and rough, but efficient and fast. They can only see the swords being raised, chopping, raised again, and chopping again. The fierce swords are shining brightly.

Eye.

"good!"

Qin Huaidao couldn't help but cheer. He seemed to have practiced well in the past six months. Although he was not as good as the team members who protected the village, he was better with more people and it was enough to kill the enemy.

"Uncle, wait, let me kill them." Luo Ying rushed forward excitedly, acting as an arrow, leading the team to rush forward, with overwhelming momentum.

The team rushed into the sheep like countless tigers, causing a shower of blood.

"good!"

Qin Huaidao was very excited. Luo Ying had helped him forge a good sword. With this team in hand, the strength around him had greatly increased. Thinking that there were a thousand similar troops on the island, he became even more heroic. He stopped,

He shouted to the team members who were guarding the village: "Come on, don't let the rising star compete with you."

"Young Master, it doesn't matter if the competition goes on, your safety comes first." A team member shouted.

"You're a good boy. You can still keep a clear head at this time and put your responsibilities first." Qin Huaidao looked at the other party and praised him. Jia Youcai's nephew is considered a family general and one of his own. He looked forward as he spoke.

Under the leadership of Ying, the troops were devastated, and the enemy left most of their bodies behind and retreated step by step.

"The team protecting the village will attack from the side of the mountain. No one is allowed to escape. Tell everyone to survive and go quickly." Qin Huaidao shouted, his eyes gleaming. He wanted to run after he came, but there was no door.

"Your side..."

"I'm just here, not going anywhere, waiting for you to come back from killing the enemy."

Everyone looked around and saw that there was no danger. Several teams were exchanging glances in a tacit understanding, leaving one team behind just in case, while the others rushed forward, like tigers coming out of the gate.

Qin Huaidao sheathed his sword and watched the battle of his subordinates with great interest. There were three people in a combat team, one was responsible for slashing, one was responsible for blocking, and one was responsible for supporting and preventing others from sneak attacks. The positioning was also the three-three system taught by him.

, no one can survive with the three people joining forces.

Both the enemy and the enemy did not speak a word, but they were killing each other desperately. The sound of weapons clashing echoed one after another, resounding throughout the beach, giving people a strange feeling.

"Death warrior?"

An idea flashed through his mind, and Qin Huaidao observed carefully. Only dead soldiers, killers and absolutely elite teams would fight without shouting and shouting and focus only on killing.

It is impossible for so many killers to appear at the same time, which is not in line with the characteristics of killer combat. The most powerful elite force in the Tang Dynasty is the Yulin Army. It is impossible for them to come over in Chang'an. As for the pirates, they howl and scream, hack and kill indiscriminately, for fear that others will not know that they are here.

, the only thing that can explain it is the dead soldiers.

"The Li family of Zhaojun?"

Qin Huaidao thought to himself that with the background of the Li family in Zhaojun, it was not surprising that he would train a group of thousands of dead soldiers.

The cool moonlight fell on Qin Huaidao's face, cold and indifferent.

After a while, Luo Ying hurried over excitedly: "Uncle, no one ran away, none of our people died, dozens of them were slightly injured, they will be fine in a few days."

"Where are the survivors?"

"Well?"

Luo Ying scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.

At this time, the team members guarding the village hurriedly spread out to guard around Qin Huaidao. One of the team members said: "Young Master, these people are so ruthless. If they are injured, they will stab themselves without mercy. No one will survive."

"He is indeed a dead soldier."

Qin Huaidao said coldly, with angry murderous intent in his eyes. He stepped forward to inspect the body and soon discovered that these people were using the same weapons, but they were wearing two different styles of black coarse cloth. The difference was not big. If you don't pay close attention,

It's hard to tell the difference. Could it be that dead men from two families joined forces?

After thinking for a moment, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Clean the battlefield, take off all the clothes for inspection, and bring them back to the mountain col. The people there are short of food and clothing. They have all brought their weapons with them. The corpses are piled up. There is no fire left."

"Follow the order!" Luo Ying said solemnly, commanding the team to move quickly.

"You guys, follow me." Qin Huaidao strode towards the mountain col.

The village protection team quickly followed up, guarding the surrounding area and being careful.

The group hurried back to the mountain col. It was quiet and there was no sign of a sneak attack. Qin Huaidao felt relieved and saw Yuchi Baolin running up and asked for confirmation: "Is there a sneak attack?"

"No, how are you doing there?"

"It's been resolved. Unify weapons and uniforms. It's like two family warriors joining forces."

Yuchi Baolin's expression changed, and he asked in a low voice: "Are they the Li family of Zhao County and the Lu family of Fan Yang? These two families are currently highly valued and supported by the Holy Emperor, and they are representatives of the new power of the imperial court."

"There are no clues and it is difficult to judge, but we are not in a hurry. What is urgent now is them. If thousands of people are dead, they will definitely not be able to sit still and will take action." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

As they talked, they returned to the yard. After chatting for a while, they saw Luo Ying hurried over. Qin Huaidao shouted: "I'm back. Sit down to eat and have a drink. It's time to celebrate. You've trained well."

"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment." Luo Ying was so excited that she sat down and poured a bowl of wine, then drank it hard. The spicy liquid went into her throat, and her whole body felt warm.

"Ha... so happy!"

Luo Ying said excitedly: "Uncle, I haven't fought so happily for a long time. I've been holding myself back for the past six months and I'm almost going crazy. You don't know, I know that you went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I'm envious...

Stop talking and drink!"

"It's better to hold back your madness and use all your strength in training. Otherwise, how can you have such good results today? However, from the battle just now, it can be seen that the experience is still not enough, the cooperation is not skilled enough, and there is less confidence and decisiveness. Let's go back to the team as a unit.

Let’s summarize it carefully and find more people to come out and talk about their thoughts on the battle, which will help improve our combat effectiveness.”

"Can you still play like this?" Luo Ying's eyes lit up and she secretly wrote it down.

After chatting for a while, the team returned with the spoils of war, keeping the weapons for themselves as spares, and gave the clothes to Yuchi Baolin to distribute to the people in need.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

So many things happened on the first day here. It was obvious that someone was keeping an eye on their whereabouts. Are they really the Li family of Zhao County and the Lu family of Fan Yang? Is there anyone else?

After thinking for a long time but not finding what he wanted, Qin Huaidao fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up the next day, Qin Huaidao sent half of the village protection team out to investigate the surrounding area just in case, and the other half left behind to guard supplies. After breakfast, he went to the low-lying area and directed everyone to continue working.

Perhaps the two battles shocked all parties, but the next few days were uneventful. Even Yao Xunsi, the captain of Haizhou Zhechong Prefecture, did not come over. The sea was even quieter, and not a single sail was seen.

Before you know it, more than half a month has passed. The trench has been dug and connected to the sea. The sea water has been let in. Many straw sheds have been built. Many crucible stoves have been built in the straw sheds. A large pit has also been dug. The pit is like the bilge of a warship.

It is long in shape, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. The triangular shape at the front is convenient for breaking through water waves, reducing resistance, and can also hit enemy ships when necessary.

Qin Huaidao planned to build a troop transport ship similar to the one used for the Normandy landings during World War II, but he made slight changes. The remaining conditions were limited, he had no machines and could not weld, and there was this big hole.

To put it simply, the big pit is the shape of the base of the troop carrier. Use kaolin clay mixed with some cement to smear the surface in a thick layer. The melting point of kaolin clay is as high as over 1,700 degrees, while the melting point of iron is over 1,500 degrees. The molten iron is poured on the kaolin clay.

It won't melt.

Only one bilge was not enough. Qin Huaidao ordered the carpenters to help him build a mold with wood, cover it with kaolin clay, use a rope to drop it down, and maintain a certain space with the bilge below. Pour molten iron into the space, fill it up, and after cooling, it would be a ship.

Troop ship base.

This method can be cast in one piece, without welding, without gaps, and without worrying about leakage, cracking, etc. after being put into the water. The disadvantages are roughness and unsightliness, high impurity content in the molten iron, easy bubbles, and short service life, but it does not affect use.

.

More than ten days later, the base of a troop transport ship was poured. Water from the trench was brought in. Watching the base slowly float, I felt relieved and it was done!

The common people who helped the workers never expected that something made of iron could actually float. Their lifelong understanding was overturned. They all looked at Qin Huaidao with shocked expressions. They were as shocked as heaven.

Qin Huaidao was too lazy to explain, so he directed everyone to help guide the base of the troop carrier to the trench. After soaking for three days and three nights, there was no leakage. He was completely relieved and organized everyone to continue the construction.

Only one base was far from enough. Qin Huaidao divided the inside of the base with thick wooden boards and divided it into two. The lower part was about 1.5 meters high. It would be used to store coal, steam engines and other materials in the future. The upper part was the cabin, which was erected.

The two masts, which are useless other than that, leave enough space for people to stand.

The two masts are tied with sails, and the ship can travel with the help of wind and save coal.

Steam engines are good, but being adrift on the sea without coal is a big deal, so you have to be prepared.
