"Order the Beiyang Naval Division to start attacking!" Liu Hong gradually gave the battle order.

Qi Yuanfu did not hesitate, and immediately made a gesture to the flagbearer on the flagship Shanhaiguan, and the flagbearer waved two flags, one red and one black, at the same time, and the ships that received the order immediately attacked the target ship fleet in a wedge-shaped array.

Boom - Boom Boom -

The Shanhaiguan was the first to fire, and the Shanhaiguan was the flagship, and its leading heavy artillery was as high as 60 pounds according to the specifications of later generations for artillery.

With one shot, it happened to hit the stern of a target ship that was sailing to the left front of the Beiyang Naval Division, and shook the target ship in the sea.

"Hit!" The observer in charge of the lookout on the Shanhaiguan said, holding a telescope and looking down to record the battle results.

In the cabin, the first mate Bu Jiageng patrolled around, ordering the gunners of each gun to calibrate the muzzles, and the people who carried the shells and walked back and forth in the cabin were responsible for issuing orders, but they were busy and orderly.

At the bottom of the Fu ship, more than 20 soldiers in charge of the steam unit of the Shanhaiguan calmly observed the operation of the steam engine to which they belonged, sometimes ordering their subordinates to add coal, and sometimes opening the valve to reduce the power, so as to let the ship move forward stably left and right.

"Turn the rudder!" At the moment when the dragon cannonball fired a cannonball, the first mate of the Shanhaiguan Bu Jiageng jumped up and down like a monkey.

Using the huge recoil of the artillery, while reducing the speed of the ship, it can make the battleship quickly turn the rudder and aim the main gun on the side of the ship at the enemy fleet to launch a fierce attack.

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

Almost at the same time, the more than a dozen capital battleships of the Beiyang Naval Division array all opened fire, and then completed the rudder rotation in a moment, and arranged horizontally into a wedge-shaped array.

The sentinel ship that served as the frigate followed the No. 1 and No. 2 Fu ships and turned their rudders one after another, while the lighter winter ships had already achieved a round of side artillery bombardment.

The position of the wave-opening ship in charge of reconnaissance is rather awkward, after all, it is an exercise, and the ships of both sides are in front of them, so there is no need to reconnoiter from a distance.

The wave-opening boat is shaped like a big bird, and it is also nicknamed the bird boat, and the reason why it runs fast is entirely because of its small size and low weight.

There are only a dozen people on and off the whole ship, and there are only one front and one front artillery, and it is also a small type of artillery, and the reconnaissance warship is just to run fast.

The reason why the guns were assembled to the front and rear of the hull was because it made it possible to fight while running.

Even if the bird ship is useless and may even affect the rudder of other ships, it still has to be in the queue of the Beiyang Naval Division in order to simulate a real naval battle.

"My lord, the situation is a little bad, my brother is full of spirit, he has been unconvinced by the defeat of the lower officer in the last exercise, and this time he looks at this formation, he has pulled out all the target ships." Qi Yuan reported with auxiliary knowledge.

This Yuanbi, doesn't he know that the Admiral is here? What nonsense! Qi Yuanfu said in his heart, when he goes back, he will let his eldest brother teach him a lesson.

"Oh? How many ships are there? Mo Huan still has the energy to build so many target ships for the sailors? Liu Hong gradually wondered.

"My lord, there are more than eighty of them, and this target ship looks no different from our ironclad ship, but there is actually nothing inside the cabin except for the steam unit.

When it was built, it only needed to be based on a giant wood and covered with steel armor, which was easier to build than the wave-opening ship, and my brother specifically asked Mr. Mo of the treasure shipyard for it.

It's just that because you were far away in Beihai at that time, I didn't report it to you in time, and I hope your forgiveness. Qi Yuanfu explained.

In order to simulate naval battles to the greatest extent, the speed of the target ship is even comparable to the speed of the No. 2 main Fuku, and they are all moving targets.

The five guns in the target ship are considered sunk, the three guns are considered to have lost their attack power, and the one who completes the encirclement is considered to be victorious.

After listening to Qi Yuanfu's explanation, Liu Hong couldn't help but admire the whimsy of the old general Qi Jiguang.

This method of combat can not only minimize casualties, but also roughly calculate the hit rate of the Beiyang Fleet's shells, evaluate the strength of the fleet, and even evaluate the real strength of each battleship.

It's just that for the Beiyang Navy Division's camp, the current situation is not good at all.

The speed of the target ship is not slow, and there are even ten more than the Beiyang Naval Division, and although there are many guns on the side of the No. 1 main battleship, after all, the hull is too heavy, the rudder is slow, and the target is moving, and the efficiency is not as high as that of the 12 No. 2 Fu ships.

In only a quarter of an hour's effort, the target ships divided into two teams had already completed half of the encirclement......

At the back of the target ship camp, Qi Yuanbi sat firmly in the cabin, and in the narrow cabin there were sand tables full of small flags of various colors, red representing the sailors and blue representing his target ship team.

"Order the central target ships No. 10 to No. 22 to assault forward to attract the attack of the main ships of the naval division!"

Qi Yuanbi looked at the sand table and commanded the battle, he lost seventeen target ships in a quarter of an hour, but it didn't matter, according to the current situation, he almost had the chance to win.

If nothing else, it would only take a quarter of an hour for his target ship to close the sailors.

Although he pulled out more than a dozen target ships with his second brother Qi Yuanfu on his back, which was somewhat opportunistic, he was not tired of cheating, Qi Yuanbi didn't care, he was not a conformist, and he must win this time.

But the reason why accidents are called accidents is because they always appear inadvertently.

Because, Liu Hongjian is not a conformist person!

"My lord, more than a dozen of the main warships of the Navy Division have also rushed towards us!" A lookout panicked and ran from the deck into the cabin walkway.

"What?" Qi Yuanbi suddenly stood up from the stool when he heard this, but because the cabin was small and low, his head hit the top of the cabin......

"Order the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan to attack to the left! Tianjin, Datong accompanying! Liu Hongjian carried the binoculars in his hand and gave orders while listening to the report of the lookout.

"Weiyuan and Jingyuan to the right, Liaoyang and Fuzhou cruisers are with you! Burn the wind! The corners of Liu Hong's mouth gradually rose.

The target ship had to use the sand table to command the battle in order to avoid artillery fire, and the battle situation of the sand table was limited to time, but Liu Hongjian did not use it, because the target ship had no attack ability, and he could command on the deck unscrupulously.

It's called a rational use rule!

"My lord, according to the rules, we can't directly ram the target ship." Qi Yuanfu whispered on the side.

"According to the rules, the third child can't bring more than a dozen target ships! Since this king is the admiral of the navy, he has the right to change the rules, hurry up, don't be merciful! Liu Hong gradually glared at Qi Yuanfu and said.

The heart said that the third child's temper was quite twisted, so he didn't just reprimand him, and then he began to retaliate.

Want to win this king? Hehe, look at this king hitting you!

The greatest ability of the superior is to make rules and change the rules, but you Qi Laosan can only abide by them.

With more than a dozen capital warships rampage left and right, there was almost no suspense in the battle, 22 target ships were knocked to the bottom, and 31 target ships were either sunk or seriously damaged.

In addition, the target ship did not complete the encirclement at all, and the main battleship broke through in front, so it was simply a lost temper.

Why don't you play your cards according to common sense?

Qi Laosan was almost crying to death, it seemed that at least a dozen target ships would be lost during this exercise, and almost all of them were directly damaged.

On the side of the Beiyang Naval Division, Liu Hongjian had already counted the battle results, and seeing that the first place in the battle record was actually a No. 2 lucky ship, Liu Hong gradually couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Call the captain of the Liaoyang." Liu Hong gradually ordered.

The No. 2 Fu ship had 12 fewer guns than the No. 1 Fu ship, and the Liaoyang ship still ranked first with 28 guns, which shows the ability of the captain of the Liaoyang ship.

With little leaning, the Liaoyang ship moved closer to the Shanhaiguan, its hull stretched out a pair of support plates, and a tall and ugly-looking man walked out of the Liaoyang ship.

"You are the captain of the Liaoyang? What is your name? Liu Hong gradually frowned, this guy looks really sorry for the audience.

"Back to Lord Admiral, the little one's name is Cui Geng."
