The sea is surging and the waves are rising and falling, and the twelve ironclad ships take the lead, riding the wind and waves, like a giant spear in the sea, piercing the Japanese kingdom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a pioneer.

"The spies at the front reported that more than 320 ships and more than 50,000 soldiers were scattered outside Kagoshima and were waiting for them. Wherever an enemy ship is found, the rest of the ship can become two wings, which can be quickly retracted to form an encirclement. Li Xiaogong saw Xia Hongsheng enter the bridge, so he said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng was resting in the house, and as soon as he woke up and looked through the book a few times, he was called out by Li Xiaogong's personal soldiers, saying that Li Xiaogong invited him to the bridge.

No matter where the ships of the Tang Dynasty appear from, the ships of the Japanese Kingdom in other directions can immediately surround them from both sides and surround the warships of the Tang Dynasty in the middle.

Listening to Li Xiaogong again: "In this way, it is not convenient to attack by fire." As soon as the battlefield of the naval division appeared, the warships of the Japanese naval division would immediately gather and surround them. There are more than 300 ships, and it is too easy to encompass our twelve ships. Even if we bombard it directly with artillery, it will take some time. This is also enough time for the other Japanese ships to surround us. Once it is wrapped in a circle, the gasoline is burned, although the ships of the surrounding Japanese countries will be burned, but it will also trap themselves in the fire ring. Although the ironclad ship is not afraid of fire, it has ammunition on board, and once it is ignited, it is also dangerous. ”

"Then Uncle Li...... What does the Grand Governor mean? Xia Hongsheng opened his mouth and asked, thinking that he was already in the middle of the war at this moment, so he called the title.

"Wait for the arrival of the Chinese army." Li Xiaogong said: "As soon as the Chinese army arrives, the naval warships can be stretched into a line, and with these warships of the Japanese State, they will not be able to surround the naval warships with the power of artillery." It could only be connected head-on, but the artillery had a very long range, and by the time they got closer, they would have been almost sunk. The rest of the people who are closer will directly throw gasoline barrels and set them on fire, destroying the warships of the Japanese Kingdom in one fell swoop. ”

Li Xiaogong's idea is a good way to be safe. There were a hundred ships behind the sailors, and there were no guns on them, but they all had catapults and bombs, and gasoline drums. As soon as the number was too large, it was stretched into a long line, and the warships of the Japanese State did not form to achieve encirclement. When the time comes, it will become a war on all fronts. And in a frontal war, the performance of those warships of the Japanese State is not good, the firepower is not good, and no matter how many there are, they cannot form an encirclement, and there is no advantage at all.

However, Xia Hongsheng thought about it and suddenly asked, "What is the wind direction today?" The little nephew has two ways to surprise him, and he doesn't need to wait for the arrival of the Chinese army. ”

"Oh?" Li Xiaogong knew that Xia Hongsheng had always had the most ghost ideas of finding a different way and being unexpected, so he immediately asked, "And your method comes?" ”

"Well, the first one, since the Japanese sailors are waiting for us in Kagoshima, then we can go around it! The Japanese country is an island country, surrounded by water, and he has set up a ship formation here, and we will turn the rudder and go around from the side, and go around to other places, in order to surprise and attack it. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Xiaogong: "We can go east, bypass Kagoshima, go around to the east coast of the Japanese Kingdom, launch an attack from the east coast of the Japanese Kingdom, and make a landing." Zhang Daguan happened to pass Tsushima Island, landed from the west coast, and attacked from both sides. Well, it's going to take some more time. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "It is not a good idea to bypass Kagoshima and go to the east coast of the Wa Kingdom opposite Tsushima Island, and attack the Wa Kingdom with Zhang Liang." However, it is true that it is necessary to spend more time at sea. What about the other way? ”

"What about this second method...... Xia Hongsheng glanced outside and said, "At this time, there are many southeast winds in the country, which is exactly what I want." The chief manager can make all the hot air balloons on the ship ready, load them with gasoline drums, fly over the ships of the Japanese Sea, and then bombard them with artillery, crash the hot air balloons, ignite the gasoline, and then give him a 'fire company camp'. In this way, the naval warships did not need to get close to defeat the Japanese naval divisions. ”

"Good! That's a good idea! When Li Xiaogong heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said. Immediately, he asked Xia Hongsheng again: "However, how did General Xia know that there would be a wind on this day to help the hot air balloon on my warship fly above the Japanese Navy?" ”

Xia Hongsheng was in his heart, and shouted in his heart: Get out of the way for me, this son wants Zhuang Boyi!

"Haha, doesn't the chief manager hear that Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms borrowed the east wind?" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile.

Li Xiaogong was taken aback: "Zhuge Kongming's strategy is like a god!" Why, the virtuous nephew will also borrow the east wind?! ”

Li Xiaogong was shocked in his heart, and even changed his title back.

Xia Hongsheng laughed, shook his head, and said: "Where is there anything to borrow the east wind, I just know some knowledge of Gewu, and I know what direction the wind often blows in this season." It's the end of August, and we're still catching up with the east, but if it's too late, we won't be able to do that. By the way, how many hot air balloons do we have in total? ”

General Wang next to him replied: "Back to Xiahou, the hot air balloons equipped with the naval warships are mostly used for temporary lift-off and long-distance exploration, so the size is not too big, and each warship is equipped with five. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, calculate, twelve ironclad ships are sixty hot air balloons. Compared with the more than 320 warships of the Japanese array, it is still too little.

However, sixty hot air balloons, each of which is estimated to be able to put down at least seven or eight barrels or ten barrels of gasoline? In addition, the hot air balloon was punctured in mid-air, and the gasoline barrels were burned and scattered, and the gasoline rained down like a rain of fire, and as long as it could burn some ships, the gasoline would flow on the water, and naturally it could also ignite the surrounding ships.

Moreover, even if it was not enough to burn all the warships of the Japanese Kingdom, the fire on the sea and the spread of the fire could disrupt their position. The warships of the Tang Navy Division can also take advantage of the chaos to shell and expand the damage.

"Sixty, that's enough." Xia Hongsheng said to everyone: "Fill the hot air balloon with gasoline cans, and after it is released, wait for it to float above the Japanese warship, and then hit it with artillery, igniting the gasoline and falling down, like a rain of fire, igniting the Japanese warship." The fire on the surface of the sea, which spread rapidly and could not be extinguished, must have caused great confusion in the Japanese army. The warships of the Tang Navy Division could take advantage of the chaos to shell and release sampans carrying gasoline drums to increase the fire. The Japanese naval division was in flames, and it was bound to be chaotic, and the Tang warships only needed to shell their heads. ”

"Good! Hahahaha......" Li Xiaogong laughed, patted Xia Hongsheng's shoulder, and said: "When I first conquered the Turks, after I came back, Wei Guogong always said that you were handsome, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!" ”

After that, he turned around and said: "Come, pass on the king's generals, teach each boat to take out the hot air balloon, and prepare for the wind!" (To be continued.) )
