The width of the dragon turtle warship is very large, in terms of appearance, the width is larger than our Wanjun, but the length is only half of Wanjun, and the collision ship of this shape looks like a tumbler. ”

The bearded man said: "I don't have any research on shipbuilding, I don't understand, but those craftsmen and masters in the Anyang dockyard say that there is almost no possibility of such a warship turning on its side, which means that no matter how our collision ship hits it, it is useless." ”

The bearded man said: "But since it is a collision ship, will they wait until the melee to use it?" It must be the charge ahead, as long as the dragon turtle warship is in front, we have a way to deal with it. ”

Shen sneered: "I knew you could do it." ”

The bearded man was silent for a moment, and then said with some regret: "However, it is not so easy to install firearms on a warship, and I have been running to the foundry workshop a while ago, and I have been testing whether I can cast something more powerful, that is, a large crossbow array car, as long as the power is raised, let alone so many crossbow tubes like a crossbow array car, as long as a single tube is enough, but ......"

The bearded man looked at Shen Leng: "The cast cannon barrel can't be used at all, and the explosion is very serious." ”

Shen Leng snorted: "If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, this kind of thing can't come in a hurry." ”

"If."

The bearded man gestured: "If we can dig out some holes on both sides of the warship, and place the kind of single-barreled cannon that I came up with with the craftsmen and masters of the martial arts workshop on both sides of the ship, the lateral force of the warship is very strong, and it will not roll over because of the power of gunpowder, and it can be fought on both sides, but in this way, the overall structure of the warship has to be changed, so the martial arts workshop and the Anyang dockyard have gathered many masters to discuss ways together, if you don't recruit me, general, I think it is interesting to design a new weapon with them." ”

Shen Leng: "Then you go." ”

Bearded: "Don't go." ”

Shen Leng said: "I called you back because I also have an idea, just try to see if I can change it on the basis of the existing things." ”

Shen Leng pointed to the side of the naval division's camp: "Our Wanjun warship can be more than 20 zhang long, nearly 30 zhang, such a large ship can completely install a crossbow array car on the ship, and my flagship Shenwei can have more than 30 zhang after the transformation, we can't install the kind of single-barreled cannon you said, but we can install a crossbow array car, and when it is staggered with the enemy ship, the crossbow array car can completely suppress the enemy's archers." ”

"I thought about it."

The bearded man said: "But water warfare is not like land warfare, land warfare uses crossbow array vehicles, the speed of replacement is faster than on the water, the distance between the two ships is short, after a salvo, there is no power to fight the second round, and the self-damage of the crossbow array car is too serious......"

He looked at Shen Leng: "We can't make such a thin iron pipe, so the crossbow arrows are all wooden or bamboo pipes, which are too easy to damage, once they explode, people on land can run, but they can't run on the ship, and the gunpowder can blow up the deck, which is very dangerous." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "I thought about it, so I asked you to come to discuss, how to ensure that in case the crossbow array vehicle self-destructs, our casualties are not so big, and we can even try our best to have no casualties." ”

The bearded man frowned: "It's hard to say...... Unless. ”

He looked at Shen Leng: "Add a cover to the crossbow array car?" ”

At this moment, a soldier strode in from outside and handed Shen Leng a letter: "Sent back from Sang Kingdom." ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand and took the letter, opened it and looked at it, it was Gu Le's handwritten letter.

"Geng Shan has arrived in Kyoto, Sang Kingdom, and is ready to contact those courtiers of Sang Kingdom."

Shen Leng handed the letter to Xin Jigong, who was standing aside, Xin Jigong took it and looked at it and said: "It is often more painful to make a cut in the back of the enemy than to stab the enemy in the front, the enemy has armor and shields in front, but there is nothing behind it. ”

sink

Leng hummed: "You are responsible, no matter what they need in the future, no matter what they need, money, people, and things, try their best to find a way to send it over in the shortest possible time." ”

"Yes."

Xin Jigong responded.

Shen Leng got up: "Let's go, go to the sailor to see, only on the boat can you see clearly what to do, beard, I'm ready for you." ”

The bearded man didn't expect that Shen Leng was preparing a Wan Jun, the cost of a Wan Jun warship was very expensive, this kind of sea ship that was more than 20 zhang long was complicated from the selection of materials to the construction process, and the requirements were extremely strict, Shen Leng prepared such a Wan Jun for him, and said a word to him.

"Use this ship for experiments, the ship is destroyed, I'll give you another one, and if it's ruined, I'll give you another one."

The bearded man was surprised: "This ......"

Chen Ran was taken aback: "General, if you really destroy a few Wanjun, the court will participate in your performance and fly to Your Majesty like snowflakes, the cost of this ship is too expensive, otherwise try to change to another ship." ”

"That's it."

Shen Leng waved his hand: "Bearded, even if you try it, without going through the test, you will force people to guarantee 100% that it is a hooligan, although I occasionally play hooligans, but I still know how to face, if this Wan Jun is destroyed because of the test crossbow array car on the ship, it will not be a loss, even if it destroys a few more ships and it will not succeed in the end, it will still not be a loss, there is no predecessor to tell us how to do it is right, then we will come by ourselves, the people of later generations can stand on our shoulders to improve, no one tells us how to do it, we will tell the people of future generations how to do it, If you can't tell them what is right, then tell them what is wrong. ”

Shen Leng said: "If I am punished by the Wanjun Imperial Court for destroying a few ships, I will carry it." ”

He looked at the bearded man: "Before I came, I entrusted the military department to transport twenty crossbow array vehicles, and the second batch should already be halfway there, I didn't plan to use these twenty crossbow array vehicles to kill the Sang people, you can use them to see if they can be installed." ”

The bearded man grinned: "The cost of the crossbow array is also very high. ”

Shen Leng glanced at him: "That's not something you should think about. ”

Three days later.

Eastern Xinjiang Sword Battalion.

A group of cavalry stopped outside the gate of the camp in Eastern Xinjiang, and the swords guarding outside the door immediately stepped forward to stop, and the captain led by the captain carefully looked at Shen Leng, the person who came did not wear battle armor, so it was difficult to distinguish the military rank, but in terms of bearing, he felt that this person should be very talented, and he looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and that kind of temperament was somewhat similar to their general Meng Chang'an.

"I was tired of making a report, and the sailor Shen Leng begged to see the general of Dongjiang."

Hearing the name Shen Leng, the captain's face changed a little, Shen Leng...... Among the generals of Daning's generation, who is the most admired by young people? One is Meng Changan, the general of their sword soldiers, and the other is Shen Leng, and to be honest, Shen Leng's status in the minds of young people is higher than Meng Changan.

"Let's go!"

The lieutenant turned and ran.

Not long after, Meng Changan rode out of the camp, the sword battalion was too big, so he would not come over, so it would delay time.

Riding a horse to the door, he jumped down, glanced at Shen Leng, and saw that Shen Leng had nothing abnormal, and Meng Changan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is this time coming?"

Meng Changan asked.

Shen Leng looked up at the sun: "Hmm, I deliberately calculated the time, and I just arrived at the point of eating." ”

Meng Changan: "Breath!" Let me tell you first, all the soldiers in my battalion regard you as a fairy-like figure, so don't lose your identity in front of them. ”

Shen Leng walked over and walked around behind Meng Changan and jumped up: "Back in, it seems that my status is high." ”

Meng Changan threw Shen Leng out with a side fall, Shen Leng turned over in the air and landed steadily, and snorted: "Little family is angry." ”

The two men went in side by side

Daying, Shen Leng said as he walked: "How long does it take to walk from here to the place to eat?" ”

"About two moments."

"Then say on the way, eat directly in a while, and you don't have to delay the time to eat."

Meng Changan: "......"

Shen Leng said: "I'm here to borrow someone from you." ”

"Borrow?"

Meng Changan looked at Shen Leng: "Who to borrow?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Xinjiang Naval Division are new recruits, and most of the current training time is to let them adapt to the sea, but their hand-to-hand combat skills are still poor, so I want to borrow some veterans from the sword soldiers from you and let them teach the sword skills of the sword soldiers." ”

"I don't borrow it."

Meng Changan glanced at Shen Leng: "The sword technique of the sword soldier is a land battle array knife, and it is not very useful on the ship...... But I can lend you all six spearmen, as well as the spearmen veterans they have trained under them. ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Okay, the sword soldiers can give some, I can't give none of them." ”

Meng Changan pouted and said, "Your sword skills are not impossible, and you still want to come to me to borrow someone?" ”

Shen Leng: "How can I teach so many people to practice knives by myself, to be honest, the fighting style of the sailor soldiers is also the fighting style of the land soldiers, their combat power on land is definitely higher than on the water, I have been thinking about how to sum up a set of knife techniques suitable for fighting on the ship in the past few years, so ..... I still have to borrow you, you go back with me for ten days, ten days, you help me perfect this set of knife techniques. ”

Meng Changan: "Ten days is not good, I can't leave the camp for ten days, two days at most." ”

Shen Leng: "Five days." ”

Meng Changan: "Three days at most." ”

Shen Leng: "Seven days." ”

Meng Changan: "Why do you still add more?" ”

Shen Leng: "Reducing it looks like it's more faceless." ”

Meng Changan thought for a while and nodded: "You're right, you can't do anything to save face...... That's five days. ”

Shen sneered: "Okay, there's nothing else, now you can seriously face the lunch of your sword battalion." ”

"Eat a big pot of rice?"

Meng Changan was stunned, and asked again in some disbelief: "Are you planning to eat a big pot of rice?" ”

Shen Leng is not the same as other leading generals, as long as there are conditions, Shen Leng will let himself eat better.

Shen Leng shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, with your financial resources, do you have the money to eat Xiaozao?" ”

Meng Changan thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It's true that there is no money." ”

Shen Leng sighed: "When did you ever have money?" ”

Meng Changan: "Every time I take money from you for a few days, it's okay, but it won't work in a few days." ”

Shen Leng: "Want face? ”

Meng Changan: "If you want to be a brother with you?" ”

Shen sneered and said, "That's too." ”

He looked back: "Bring the present." ”

The soldiers immediately came up with a box, Meng Changan took it and opened it to take a look, and found that the box was full of jewelry.

"What is this for?"

"For my siblings and children."

Shen Leng said naturally as he walked: "From the sailor to this passing through Dongtu City, it is really prosperous, it is not far from your Dongjiang sword battalion, it is only more than 20 miles, the city is full of shops, I think I can't come empty-handed, so I went into the city and walked around, the jewelry and jewelry in this shop are all overseas goods, it's okay, although the price is a little higher, but the things are good." ”

"You're spending money again!"

Meng Changan glared at him, but his heart was happy.

Shen Leng said: "It's okay, the IOU I typed is your name." ”

He walked forward with his hands behind his back: "I asked him to send someone to the sword battalion tomorrow to get it." ”

Meng Changan: "......"
