This battleship is—艨艉.

A very powerful weapon of war.

Especially on the water.

Liu Xi of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote in"Shi Ming·Shi Chuan":"The outside is narrow and long, and it is called a 艨艉, so as to conflict with enemy ships." The

艨艨艉 is a ship that is narrow and long in shape and has a fast speed. It is specially used to attack enemy ships. Panchong was the main ship of the ancient navy. The hull is narrow and long, and has strong maneuverability, making it easy to clash with enemy ships. This ship is"covered with rawhide on the back, with hatches on both sides, and there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right sides. The enemy cannot enter and the arrows cannot defeat them."

The turtle has three characteristics:

1. It is covered with raw cowhide and has good defensive properties.

2. Open the crossbow window and spear hole, which has the combat capability of attacking and counterattacking enemy ships.

3. Using oars as power, it has the performance of fast sailing.

In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, used"dozens of fighting ships, which were actually filled with firewood and anointing oil." After lighting fires, he broke into Cao's fleet and burned it in one fell swoop.

This is a typical example of a military assault in Chinese military history.
