Cao Cao couldn't help but nod and ordered, "Let's start!" ”

Gan Ning responded and immediately ordered the herald to dance the order flag.

After a while, there was movement on the river, and I saw the fifth and sixth class escort fleets escorting the third and fourth class capital warships quickly spread out a protective formation around the main fleet, and at the same time, the main fleet adjusted its hull to launch a long-range attack.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that the gunboat suddenly spewed out countless cold rays, and the loud noise a moment later couldn't help but be moving.

Countless columns of water rose from the surface of the water where the enemy ship was located, and at the same time, the wreckage of the smashed wooden boat rose with the water column, and the surface of the water was like boiling water.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be moved, and Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Cao Cao's reaction.

After nearly a quarter of an hour of fierce attack, the main battleship stopped firing, turned its hull and rushed towards the enemy fleet that had been beaten to pieces, and mixed with the enemy fleet.

Soon after, some of the water ghosts boarded the enemy ship, and thus the surface warfare drill came to an end.

Although the drill was very exciting, Cao Cao frowned, which made the two admirals, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, a little apprehensive.

After the fleet defeated the enemy fleet, the main battleships withdrew and set up attack positions, while the frigates slowly approached the shore.

The roar of ballistas rang out again, and the enemy camp and beachhead were boiling and filled the sky with smoke and dust, after nearly two quarters of an hour of ballista strike. There was a scene that Cao Cao had not expected, as the escort battleship rushed forward to the beachhead. The main fleet alternately advanced and fired in depth, a tactic that did not appear even in Europe, where sail slashing was already commonplace in the late Middle Ages

Cao Cao nodded in surprise

With the extension of the ballista fired. When the frigate finally reached the shallow water, the doors opened, and thousands of officers and men jumped out of the warship, shouting and rushing towards various points on the beachhead

In the end, the battle flag of the Wei army was planted on the highest hill, and the landing war exercise of the Wei army came to an end

At the end of the exercise, all the officers and men of the navy who participated in the exercise gathered in a large open space at the water's edge, and everyone looked very excited because they were informed. It will be reviewed by the Emperor.

When Cao Cao, who was dressed in military uniform, rode a horse and appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers, all the soldiers couldn't help shouting together: "Long live Your Majesty!" Long live the Great Wei Empire!! ”

When Cao Cao returned to the big tent, he still looked very happy and excited.

Cao Cao calmed down his mood for a while, smiled and said to the admirals standing in the big tent: "Today's exercise is very good!" It can be seen that you are very careful in training the army in peacetime! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The generals hugged their fists together, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

Cao Cao's face turned pale, "However, there are still some things that I am not satisfied with!" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the generals became apprehensive, especially Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who were the commanders of the navy. Cao Cao walked to the sand table in the big tent.

The sand table in front of me is a small sand table, which reflects the topography of Chaohu Lake and its surroundings, and a model roughly equivalent to the situation of the exercise is placed at the location of today's exercise.

Cao Cao said: "The front and back sections of this exercise are very good! However, at the time of attacking the enemy fleet. Why did you let the main fleet and the convoy attack the enemy ship group together? ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai couldn't help but be stunned, and Zhou Tai said: "This, water wars are generally like this!" ”

Cao Cao shook his head. "The advantage of battleships is their powerful long-range damage, and letting them fight with enemy ships is simply their own shortcomings. Very unwise! ”

After a pause, Cao Cao's tone softened a little and said, "I know." You may be doing this because of the sheer size of the ship, which can give you an overwhelming advantage over the enemy in close quarters melee with a frigate! ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai nodded, and Gan Ning hugged his fists and said, "That's how we think about it!" ”

Cao Cao looked at the sand table and thought for a moment, then frowned and said: "The advantage of the battleship lies in long-range strikes and killing, so if it is not necessary, the battleship must not participate in a close-range melee!" I hope you will improve your water warfare again! ”

Gan Ning and Zhou Taisi nodded thoughtfully, and hugged their fists together.

Cao Cao patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "In the future, the security of the entire coastline of our Great Wei Empire will depend on you to maintain, and the responsibility is heavy!" ”

The two couldn't help but be excited, and they clasped their fists together and bowed down: "The last general will definitely repay with death!" ”

Cao Cao picked up the two of them and nodded heavily at them.

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and joked: "These warships are all piled up of gold, they are very precious, you have to cherish them for me!" ”

The generals couldn't help but laugh.

After reviewing the navy, Cao Cao repaired here for a day, then returned to Chang'an, and arrived in Chang'an after the 15th, and at this time, Xun Yu and other important ministers were waiting for Cao Cao.

In the Qianqing Palace, Xun Yu frowned and said to Cao Cao, who was above him: "Your Majesty, some information about the floods in the Qingzhou area must be reported to Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, remembering the flying pigeon biography sent by Xun Yu a few days ago, the flood in Qingzhou, Cao Cao still attached great importance to this natural disaster, and asked Xun Yu and others on the spot to do their best not to let the disaster expand, but he didn't want to hear about the Yanzhou flood today, and asked: "Is the water situation more serious?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the water situation in Qingzhou is tending to ease, but people are coming one after another!"

"Human suffering?! What Wen Ruo means is that someone took advantage of the flood to make a fortune? Cao Cao looked a little angry.

Xun Yu nodded and said, "The county orders of Licheng and Tai'an counties swallowed up the disaster relief food allocated by His Majesty, and afterwards even instigated people who didn't know the truth to gather to make trouble······

Ping!

Cao Cao slapped the case suddenly, "What a big boldness!" How did you deal with it? ”

"Wechen has taken control of the situation, and the two county orders and the rebellious officials and people have been captured! Zhong Jun Shou submitted it and asked for instructions on how to deal with it. ”

The Zhong County Shou in Xun Yu's mouth is Zhong Xuan, for such a famous person, of course Cao Cao will not let it go, let him serve as the county guard of Qingzhou, just to add some political achievements to him, so that he can be recalled to Chang'an in the future and used in the court!

Cao Cao calmed down, glanced at the four of them, and asked, "What about your opinions?" ”

Several people exchanged a look, and said angrily: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter must not be tolerated!" ”

Lu Su on the side immediately said: "But it should also be treated differently!" For those who are deceived by the people, they should be extrajudicial and merciful, and for these two county orders, the rebellious officials, the local rangers, and bandits, they must be thundered! To shock the world! (To be continued.) )
