On July 3, the sixteenth year of Chuizheng, he encountered on the lake of Liyang Island.

Wang Hongyi stood on the high platform of the ship, and his own soldiers stood behind him.

In the distance, a large number of fleets of the Wu-Chu coalition army were already in sight, and one after another enemy ships were connected together, spreading out for ten miles, forming a mighty team, covering the river section in front of them, stretching endlessly, making people daunting.

When Wang Hongyi saw it, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was awe-inspiring: "Looking at it like a mountain!"

The elite soldiers of the strong ship, in this era, are as powerful as the guns of the strong ship, and the momentum is overwhelming.

Wang Hongyi pondered for a moment and said, "Summoning Gu to meet Zhang Fanzhi and Lu Suhai." ”

"Yes!"

A moment later, the two of them, who had been waiting for a long time, came over and saluted.

"The Wu and Chu coalition forces are strong ships, our warships are small and cannot attack on the back, direct attacks will be frustrated, only with more firearms can we win, but the enemy ships also have drawbacks, the enemy ships are huge, the end is connected, it is not conducive to advance and retreat, and the steering is not effective, so it should be broken by this one!" Wang Hongyi said calmly.

Suddenly, the two people below looked at the lord with surprised eyes, this was supposed to be played in person, and the lord said it in one bite if he didn't want to.

Wang Hongyi said: "General Zhang, you are already familiar with the three-stage attack of the fire gun, right?"

"Yes, it's familiar. Zhang Fanzhi said cautiously.

"Why do you say Lone is using a three-stage strike?"

"My lord, the gun is slowly loaded, after the gun is fired, you must put in gunpowder and lead pellets, you must tamp it, you must aim at the enemy after lighting the fire rope, and you must clean the hole of the gun after shooting, even if you are proficient, it will take twenty breaths (the time of twenty breaths) to load, not a skilled hand, or if you are indiscriminate on the battlefield, sometimes there are sixty breaths. ”

"That is what the lord said, on land, twenty breaths of time, enough time for the enemy to rush up and kill a few times, but on the ship, it can be practiced, and now the lord uses this method, in a group of three, to choose elite shooters as firecrackers, and the latter two also hold firearms. ”

"When the elite shooter finishes shooting, the latter person hands over the loaded gunpowder and continues to shoot, while the empty-handed person takes the gunpowder that has been fired, and loads the gunpowder and projectiles, and when the second shot is finished, the third person hands the gun, and then takes the gunpowder and projectiles that have been loaded, and then rams and adds the fire rope, and the loading is completed. ”

"This method is continuous, dense and alternate, the interval time is greatly shortened, and the intensity of shooting is also greatly strengthened, and a shot, the target is too concentrated, there are often several people in the dozens, this is a waste, three consecutive shots can better select the target, this is really the wisdom of the lord. ”

"Since you know, then do you know what tactics our army will adopt?" Wang Hongyi said inquiringly.

In terms of training alone, Zhang Fanzhi can be said to be very qualified, but when he really debated the battle, he couldn't understand what Wang Hongyi meant for a while, and he couldn't help but get stuck and sweat flowed.

Seeing that Zhang Fanzhi couldn't speak for a while, Wang Hongyi turned to Lu Suhai: "What is your opinion?"

Lu Suhai bowed his head and said: "Yes, Xiaochen thinks that this is the same as firearms, our military ships are small, but they are fast, and our firearms are strong, but the number cannot be too much (the ship cannot carry too many firearms, it is easy to explode), and our army can only take three strikes." ”

"Divide our army, divide it into several teams, take turns to bombard, exert the maximum strength in a short time, take turns with each other, and once most of the firearms on board are consumed, you can return to the army to replenish the army, and you must not fall in love. ”

Hearing this, Wang Hongyi stared at Lu Suhai with a surprised gaze, Lu Suhai is still a handsome young man, with a shaggy beard that has just grown, with the color of wind and frost, and a thick layer of calluses on his hands.

When Wang Hongyi saw it, he took it to heart and said: "What you said is not wrong, it just so happens that there are 20,000 sailors, and the division of 600 people and four boats is not appropriate, and there must be a new division...... The order went down, and the guard should also set up a capital, twenty ships and one capital, and now divide it into seven capitals and attack in turn. ”

He asked again: "What is Lu Suhai's official rank now?"

Zhang Fan thought about it, and then hurriedly said: "After the expansion, he is a guard general, and he can't be promoted again because of his qualifications." ”

Wang Hongyi said: "What qualifications? In wartime, you will be specially promoted, and I will promote you to be the chief general of the first water division, called the governor, and in the future, you will be divided into the governor and the governor." ”

Zhang Fanzhi's heart rolled, but he immediately agreed: "No!"

He turned to Lu Suhai and said, "Don't thank the lord for his great kindness - this is the lord's special grace, and there is no need to go through deliberation." ”

Lu Suhai was originally a teenager, but in the barracks for several years, he had been deeply refined, and he was excited in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, and he bowed his head and said: "The micro-minister has not built an inch of merit, and he is ashamed to accept the favor of the lord. ”

Wang Hongyi felt that this was reasonable, but how did they know their thoughts, Zhang Fanzhi in front of them, of course, had excellent military training, and laid the foundation of the water division, but his limit was only the governor, and he could barely afford to lead 7,000, and it was already insufficient to lead 20,000 troops as the governor of the capital.

This is why Wang Hongyi personally took over the command of the sailors.

Only Wang Hongyi took over to suppress the sailor, and if nothing happened, he smiled at this time: "What are you afraid of? Gu Yiyi has already said something, how can there be any reason to take it back? Gu will appoint you as the governor! But what you said is also reasonable, so let's lead a ship to attack, be the vanguard, and show the prestige of our army, prove that Gu is not wrong, and also convince the whole army!"

This is actually Wang Hongyi's original intention, he deeply understands the way of luck, since in general, King Wu suppresses himself, but he can slowly recover it one game at a time.

If you want to redeem it, you have to make a good start, among your own sailors, only Lu Suhai has pale cyan luck, and can withstand the suppression of King Wu without much influence.

And he usually pays attention to it secretly, knowing that this person is deep and resolute, and he is not a mediocre person who only has luck and no ability, so at this time, he is asked to reverse his luck.

In ancient times, there was a field of horse racing, and the number of Qi princes galloped and shot hard.

Sun Tzu said: "Today, the king is under the donkey and the other is on the horse, the king is on the horse and the middle is taken from the king, and the king is under the horse." ”

Tian Ji won again and again, and won the king's daughter.

Of course, the battle situation is more cruel than this, but if you win the first battle, you can greatly shock your morale, destroy the enemy's sharpness, and you can increase your luck and cut off the enemy's luck.

Of course, the parties don't understand these thoughts, but the meaning of appreciating, loving, and reusing is already very obvious, Lu Suhai listened to the words of the lord, and only felt that the blood in his chest was surging, and he was boiling inside.

At this time, I recalled that when we met for the first time, I took a fancy to myself among everyone, and I didn't think I was young, so I let myself be a camper, and this grace was really as deep as the sea.

Although he has been in the army for several years, he has seen blood, killed people, and fought in Jingzhou, but he was faintly suspicious of the governor, and he was tired, helpless, and wronged...... All melted and dissipated under Wang Hongyi's gaze and orders.

Thinking about these words, he was more gentle and affectionate than his father, and he had high hopes, so he kowtowed again and again, choked up and couldn't speak, and said, "Minister...... How dare the minister be such a great favor to the lord, only to break his bones, in case of emergency, the lord can rest assured, the minister is fighting for his life, and he will also break the enemy ship for the lord. ”

Zhang Fan listened directly, but lowered his head and grabbed the gap in the deck tightly with his hands.

However, Lu Suhai is an extraordinary person in the end, and he has regained his calm for a moment, wiped his tears, and bowed down again and said, "Respectfully accept the order." ”

As soon as he said this, I saw that the original golden seal on his top exploded violently, and turned into a new golden seal, and almost at the same time, there was a gold-colored luck outside, and it poured in frantically.

It's just a moment, the gold-colored luck is flourishing, and a pale cyan natal qi is running and harmonizing in it, making the gold-colored luck condense into a group, and unconsciously, the entire gold seal has been filled with tenths of **.

Seeing this situation, Wang Hongyi couldn't help but smile, sure enough, he had a foundation, and at this time, he was promoted to the governor of Chengdu, and he was immediately able to accommodate and digest it, and he was full of confidence in the first battle.

When the two armies start a war, they must first be in the vanguard, so that all armies know the truth and the truth, but even if King Wu is at the peak of talent, it is impossible to have a pale cyan general as the vanguard!

At that moment, Wang Hongyi ordered again: "General Zhang, you are the governor of the capital, you can't go to the front line in person, and sit in the flagship with Gu, but now the whole army is divided into seven capitals, you go down and distribute it immediately, and within half an hour, Gu will see the distribution completed." ”

The fleet was divided into seven teams, each armed with firearms, hand mines, and crossbows.

Zhang Fanzhi responded at this time: "No!"

At this moment, he and Lu Suhai retreated, at this time, the morning sun was shining, but the river was full of war clouds, murderous spirit, and the two armies were making final adjustments.

Seeing that the fleet was adjusting, Wang Hongyi's heart was calm, but he inexplicably thought of something that had nothing to do with the war.

According to the intelligence of this world, now the Western Qin (West) has been quite prosperous, and there are trade contacts from time to time, and it is not difficult to reach the level of maritime trade in the Song Dynasty. ”

"As long as you open your own customs, build a sea office, and carry out large-scale stimulation, merchants will gather like ants, and of course, a strong navy must be used to ensure the safety of the sea and rivers. ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang has the most powerful sailor in the world, but unfortunately he was idle after seizing the world, and in my hands, not only can he not be idle, but he must also have the world's most powerful and sophisticated sailor to put the waterways of the ocean under control. ”

Originally, on the earth, the Daming Sailor had the reputation of being undefeated for 300 years.

In 1352, Hongwu raised troops, the Ming army built a water division at the beginning, and Quarry Rock became famous in the first battle. Poyang Lake broke the 600,000 land and water army of the Han King and pacified the heroic Zhang Shicheng.

Later, there were the Battle of Liaoluo Bay with the Netherlands, the Battle of Luliang with the Netherlands, the Battle of Penghu with the Netherlands, the Battle of the Nine Mountains and the Ocean with the Portuguese and the Pirates, the Battle of the Little Yellow River with Vietnam, and the Battle of Xiamen with the Qing Dynasty.

And among them, there was "Zheng He's Seven Voyages to the Western Ocean", and the fleet was invincible at that time!

This has obviously grasped the lifeblood of the Great Voyage, but unfortunately, it was wasted because of ignorance of the economy.

Wang Hongyi naturally wouldn't let it go like this.

"And I still have a law, it doesn't take 20 years, whether it is the civilian or the military, it is invincible in the world in navigation. Wang Hongyi thought.

But in the blink of an eye, he smiled dumbly, this is really far away, let's pay attention to today's battle first!

At this time, Lu Suhai had already completed the reorganization and led twenty ships to attack.

In another moment, twenty enemy ships sailed out of the water gorge, their sails heavy and the figures on the deck were numerous, apparently in a state of readiness for battle at any time.

The war drums of both sides sounded, continuously, and the battle broke out at the first touch!
