Great Tang Southern Emperor

It's childish.

Benyin naturally didn't know what was going on in Guan Wenhai's mind, so he just said: "Let's not talk about this, you have already seen the power of torpedoes, and then you all go about your own affairs, we also have to prepare for the next program .”

"Oh? Could it be that Master Benyin has other means?" Because of what happened just now, Guan Wenhai didn't dare to call Benyin's name directly, but appended the word "Master" after it.

"Of course, do you think His Royal Highness is the ultimate move of torpedoes?" Benyin said with a smile: "Torpedo boats are indeed terrifying, but they are all shortcomings except for power, and speed is the shortcoming of shortcomings. The enemy has already seen it. When it comes to the horror of torpedoes and the blockade of torpedoes, the price they have to pay to break through is too great-they have lost nearly half of their strength in the previous bombardment, which is what they expected, but the torpedo boats But it was an artifact beyond their expectations. If too many damages occurred in the torpedo boats, then even if they broke through the blockade of the torpedo boats, how many ships would be able to dock? Even if the remaining ships could dock, In the face of the huge Coconut Port, what is the use of their few people? Under such circumstances, any commander with a little sense will choose to retreat to preserve his strength instead of coming up to fight us."

"But they still have more troop carriers outside." Sima said wrongly: "The shells of the fort are almost exhausted. If their troop carriers come here at this time, they can definitely occupy Coconut Port."

Ben Yin smiled and said, "That's why I need a second secret weapon."

"My lord, what is that?" Guan Wenhai was very curious.

"You will find out later." Ben Yin smiled mysteriously: "I can only say that this weapon is no worse than a torpedo at all."

"what……"

Chapter 1159 Water Mines and Land Mines

Chapter 1 Naval Mines and Landmines

"It's almost as powerful as a torpedo. Oh my God, what a terrible weapon this is..." Guan Wenhai and Sima Cuo were inexplicably shocked—if Ben Yin said that before the torpedo showed its power, the two of them would Maybe I don't have an intuitive impression yet, but now the power of the torpedo has been proven, it can be called a devastating existence.

But now Benyin told them that there seems to be more than one kind of weapon like torpedoes. of.Could it be the legendary [-]mm mortar?But even a mortar is not as powerful as a torpedo, right?

"Uh...you misunderstood." Seeing the expressions of the two, Ben Yin knew that they were wrong, and quickly explained: "This weapon is called a sea mine, and its power is not strong-to be exact, the power of a sea mine alone is not so powerful. It is not as good as torpedoes, but the main feature of sea mines is that they are numerous, densely packed, and very secretive, hard to guard against.

The functions of the two are also different. The torpedo directly attacks the enemy ship, which is similar to the shell. The difference is that the torpedo sails underwater instead of above the water surface.

However, the main function of sea mines is not to sink warships. The main function of sea mines is to block waterways. In terms of status, they are comparable to torpedoes, but their nature is different, and it can even be said to be completely opposite. If torpedoes are single-pair If you are a real warrior if you put your sword and spear correctly, then the mine is an assassin hiding in the dark, deadly with one blow and hard to guard against. "

"So that's it, I really have learned a lot." Guan Wenhai and the two of them suddenly realized what they heard, but they were scolding their mothers in their hearts-what the hell are they talking about?What is an assassin hiding in the dark?You have said so much, what is this thing called a mine?According to what you said, this mine should also be a weapon, but what is the attack method?Could it be that he just hid in the dark and rushed out to attack the enemy ship when the enemy ship passed by?But how to get out?

It's no wonder that the two are confused, because the concept of trap-type thermal weapons such as mines has not appeared in this era. In their impression, thermal weapons should be like cannons and guns, launching projectiles through tools. To achieve the purpose of killing the enemy - even if it is a torpedo, the attack method is the same, but the torpedo is a little bigger, and the barrel is replaced with a torpedo tube.

Weapons such as land mines or sea mines should be classified as traps. Put the mines in the water. Once the enemy's ship touches it, the fuze will be activated immediately, and the sea mine will explode, sinking or injuring the enemy ship, similar Weapons and landmines—in fact, the concept of such weapons existed before the Tang Dynasty. For example, traps set up by hunters, barbed caltrops scattered on the battlefield, horse pits, tripping ropes, etc., are all types of trap weapons, but But no one has put this theory on thermal weapons to improve it.

It’s not that the ancients were not smart enough, it’s that hot weapons appeared for too short a time, and it took only 20 years to fight and count, and during these 20 years, most of the time was in a state of peace, and there were only a few large-scale wars , This also led to the fact that although thermal weapons are widely known, few people have actually seen them—not even thermal weapons, let alone further research and development, or some people have such ideas, but have no chance to practice , Naturally, it cannot be researched.

In terms of understanding of hot weapons, Li Zhen should be the No.1 in the world, but he did not take out the mines and mines early. The reason is very simple. Let's take mines as an example:

The first reason is that although landmines are good, they are not that important to Datang. Datang is the most powerful country in the world, and its military power is the strongest in the world even without the addition of thermal weapons. It may be difficult to push the world flat, but sweeping Asia is just like playing. Now with the assistance of guns and cannons, it is even more powerful. It is more than an era ahead of foreign countries. With such powerful weapons, the role of landmines is not so important. Yes, one more is not much, and one less is not much.

The second is that it is not necessary. Datang has always had an overwhelming advantage in foreign wars in recent years, and landmines are a defensive weapon. Winning is the final result, and there is not even a single defeat. Landmines are defensive weapons, and most of the time they are used by the loser to resist the invaders and delay the enemy's invasion time.And now in this world, which country can defeat Datang a few times?Of course not, since no one can defeat Datang, then naturally there is no need for landmines to defend.

The third is Li Zhen's little selfishness. He doesn't want landmines to appear in the world so small, because the structure of landmines is too simple, and the principle is also very simple. The firing method is similar to that of grenade shells, but this Landmines are passive triggers.This is the only difference between landmines and active weapons, but there is no technical gap. Anyone who understands the principle of thermal weapons can easily manufacture them.

However, although landmines are cheap to manufacture, they are quite powerful. In addition, this thing is buried in the ground, so it is impossible to defend against it. If the enemy knows how to make this thing, the consequences will be very serious——Everyone Think about it, if the enemy mass-produced landmines and buried them outside a certain city, who would dare to leave the city?

Also, if the battle between Tang and the enemy on the front line is at the most critical moment, and logistics supplies are urgently needed, but the enemy has planted a large area of ​​landmines on the only way behind you, hindering the smooth flow of your supplies, even if you cannot attack the transport team , The impact on the efficiency of the transport team is also very large, and the impact on the frontline warfare is fatal. Maybe the frontline army may lose a lot because of this.

Landmines are not very powerful weapons, but they are very disgusting, and they are hard to defend against. In later generations, Yue Monkey invaded our Celestial Dynasty, and the Celestial Dynasty was furious. Tanks drove directly to their capital, forcing Yue Monkey to raise a white flag to surrender.Not only that, in order to punish Yuehou, the Celestial Dynasty not only dismantled all the industrial facilities built to Yuehou, but also planted a large number of landmines in the north of Yuehou...

Until the 21st century, these landmines have not been completely cleared, and there are frequent incidents of mine strikes (it is said that the quality of these landmines is really good, and they can still work after more than 30 years), which also caused Yuehou’s north until Li Zhen crossed. It is still barren, let alone industry, and even agriculture has not developed much - after all, if a hoe is dug down, it is likely to be struck by mines and explode. Even farmers who are not afraid of death dare not farm in such a place. ?

Chapter 1160 The Regretful Man in White

Chapter 1: The Regretful Man in White

Therefore, landmines are such a difficult weapon. Although it may not be possible to determine the victory of a war, if landmines are used to cause trouble for the enemy or simply play terrorist attacks, then it is really impossible to defend against. Absolutely It can make the other party want to die - such a disgusting weapon, the cost is still very low, and the structure is also very simple, as long as someone who knows a little mechanical design can see the general structure at a glance, or even just need to listen, Inspiration can be generated, and as long as there are enough materials and time, it can be imitated soon, and then mass-produced, maybe this disgusting weapon will fall on Datang's head.

In case the enemy planted landmines everywhere after obtaining the technology and launched a terrorist attack on Datang, without active mine detection means, although it would not cause Datang to perish, the impact on Datang would be very fatal.

And the last reason is also the most important reason, that is, land mines and sea mines have a very powerful function besides being wretched, that is, to block the battlefield - the previous three reasons can only be regarded as minor reasons, especially the third one Actually, Li Zhen is not very worried. There are so many mine-sweeping methods in later generations. Even if he does not have a mine-sweeping device, he can use other methods to clear the enemy's minefields. He is not afraid of the enemy's minefields at all.

This last reason is the most important reason why Li Zhen didn't take out the landmines and water mines in the first place - anyway, Datang doesn't lack the means to win now. Entangling, in this case, why not take out the mines at the critical moment?I can use landmines and sea mines as trump cards. Although this trump card can only be used once, a one-time trump card is also a trump card, and it can play a decisive role if used well.

Just like today, when the enemy attacked Coconut Harbor, they were first attacked by the fort, leaving half of the sunken ship in that sea area. They should have expected this loss, but the appearance of the torpedo was far beyond their expectations. Unexpectedly, the power of the torpedo severely frightened everyone, making them dare not continue to charge forward, and rationally chose to retreat.

But the retreat is not that simple, because in the previous artillery battle, Creevey had led the people left by Li Zhen to unknowingly planted a large mine array in the port of Yegang...

"I really can't be reconciled. We are about to succeed, but we actually ran into Li Zhen's trump card..."

Standing on the merchant ship of the Diamond Chamber of Commerce, looking at the retreating fleet, the man in Tsing Yi thumped the railing hard, full of unwillingness: "I really didn't expect that Li Zhen would leave such a powerful weapon in Yegang. A few volleys have caused us heavy losses, and now our plan to break through Yegang is about to go bankrupt..."

"Yeah, no one knew that Li Zhen made such a powerful weapon." The short-haired middle-aged man next to him looked worried. Although he had grown his hair, he could still see the ring scar on his head through the short hair: " Now our losses are really too great, even if we break through the blockade of that kind of weapon, it will be difficult for the rest of us to gain a foothold in Yegang, let alone win Yegang, hey..."

"Please don't be discouraged, gentlemen. Although we did not win the Coconut Port, this mission was a failure, but fortunately our overall plan has not been destroyed." The hair next to him was shaved into a classic Yuedai head, wearing a The wretched-looking man in a kimono said in blunt language: "Yegang was not successfully captured, it just caused a little trouble to our plan, but our overall plan has not been destroyed. As long as we continue to work together, We will definitely be able to kill Li Zhen overseas."

The man in Tsing Yi also cheered and said: "That's right, if you can't take Yegang, you can't take it down. We just lack a certain amount of funds, but if we make up for these fund gaps, we should be able to continue We have planned, we have not completely failed, or we have not failed at all, but the plan has suffered a little setback, as long as we regroup, we must win in the end..."

"That's right, and we still have allies who are destroying them inside Yegang. After we repair it in a few days, we can completely kill a carbine. At that time, Yegang has no guns or cannons, so why don't we just let us do whatever we want? "

"Yes, yes, it should be so, then I will have a good time, and I will fade out of the bird on the boat..."

"..."

While talking, this group of people actually became sexually active.

"Are you still thinking about this?" The man in white listened for a long time, he really wanted to laugh, not a happy smile, but an angry smile - but he also knew that now is not the time to laugh, so he could only ask in this way, But the meaning in his words also made others very dissatisfied.

"What do you mean?" The Japanese snorted coldly, very unhappy with the tone of the man in white.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" The man in Tsing Yi and the man in white were in the same group, seeing him pouring cold water on him, they quickly smoothed things over.

"It's okay...forget it, let's not talk about it." The white-clothed man waved his hands in disinterest, but didn't say anything, but cursed in his heart.

A bunch of trash, what time is this, you guys are still in the mood to discuss future issues, don't you find anything abnormal here?

Didn't any of you think about why Li Zhen left such a terrible weapon in Yegang?

Why did he leave this weapon in Yegang?

This clearly proves that Li Zhen has taken precautions against your actions.

Even more frighteningly speaking, he already knew your plan thoroughly, and everything he did from the very beginning was setting up traps.

In other words, everything we do is within Li Zhen's calculations.

With such calculations, do you think Li Zhen will let us go so easily?

Do you think Li Zhen only has this terrible secret weapon?

Instead of thinking about how to escape the trap this time, you are still thinking about the future?

How big is your heart?

The man in white regretted it very much at this moment. He regretted how he had been deceived by lard, and actually joined the so-called plan of this group of people.
