The 12,000 cavalry of the fried flower department had been stationed on the other side of the Sancha River crossing in the north of Dongchangbao for three full days.

In the past three days, the mood of Fried Flower Taiji has never been better, and the current and behind the news have made him annoyed.

The current annoyance is understandable, after all, there is nothing to do about the "Ming Army Sailors" in the Liao River who can't reach it, but it can't give it a few cannons at every turn, although it seems that their number is limited, at most twenty or thirty ships, but the ship is really big, and the key is to have guns and cannons, and it must be self-defeating to force a crossing in front of them.

In addition to the "current", "behind" seems to be in trouble, that is, the Tumen Khan has been grinding all the way, originally the distance between the two armies was only a day's journey, but he waited here for three days, and the Tumen Khan still did not appear, if it weren't for the messengers of the two sides You and I didn't stop, and I could also grasp the whereabouts of the other party, I am afraid that I have to think that this Mongolian Khan was so frightened that he retracted back to Chahanhot.

In fact, the Great Khan of Tumen has really been walking, but it is as slow as the infantry of the Ming army, and he is still half a day away.

"No wonder Tumen this guy has suffered such a big defeat in Tumut, and he doesn't even understand the truth that soldiers are expensive and fast, if you don't eat defeat, who will lose the battle!"

Hearing his own Taiji scolding this sentence for the thirteenth time, the soldiers at the gate of the big battle all rolled their eyes helplessly, and looked at each other speechlessly.

At the same time, more than forty miles north of here, the Great Khan of Tumen not only did not sneeze, but was smiling and talking to Burihatu.

"Is the news true? That Qin Deyi really sent troops under the coercion of Zhou Yong and Han Guang, the two lackeys of the Zhu family emperor, and urged the troops to be rewarded three times a day, but he refused to go south decisively? ”

Burihatu smiled and said to the Tumen: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, the news is absolutely true. This shows that Qin Deyi, a subordinate of Li Chengliang's descendant, does not have the slightest desire to go south, and his attitude must also be Li Chengliang's attitude. ”

Tumen nodded again and again, and laughed loudly: "Yes, such a big thing, how dare Qin Deyi make his own opinion, naturally he was instructed by Li Chengliang, and he and Li Chengliang are quite far away from their current location, plus Li Chengliang is in the mountains, it is already inconvenient to communicate, and it is too late to communicate...... This can only be said that Li Chengliang knew that there would be today's step early on, so he greeted Qin Deyi in advance. ”

Burihatu smiled: "So big Khan, can we speed up?" Judging from the messenger's return, Fried Flower Taiji has now remembered a mouthful, we are all descendants of Dayan Khan, and it is not good for him to be tortured so much. ”

Tumen snorted, apparently disimpressed by the statement that "they are all descendants of Dayan Khan".

Of course, it's no wonder that he is, after all, I am also a descendant of Dayan Khan, but he forced the Chahar Department to move eastward, and Hannaji, who is also a descendant of Dayan Khan, even dared to meet him in arms, which made him lose his strength and prestige.

However, although it doesn't matter whether it is Dayan Khan's descendant or not, after all, Fried Flower still has a certain strength now, and it is the object that needs to be wooed, and this time the army will also use his strength, so it is indeed not good to completely ignore his ideas.

Therefore, the Tumen Great Khan nodded at this time and said: "Although this guy has no ability, and he was forced to cross the river by a few boats from the Ming people, but after all, he is still a loyal minister of Ben Khan, and Ben Khan really can't chill his heart, so he will speed up and discuss with Fried Hua Taiji how to cross the river." ”

Tumen Khan said that if he accelerated, he would speed up, and he would have to walk for half a day at the previous speed, but now it was completed in just over an hour.

The two sides each said a few extremely intimate words in front of each other's soldiers, so that the Mongolian cavalry on both sides, who did not know the truth, thought that the two of them were really like brothers.

When the fried flowers welcomed the Great Khan into his big tent, the smile on his face like a warm sunshine immediately turned into a sad face, and he sighed and said to Tumen Khan: "Great Khan, I really didn't know that this Ming army's sailor was so troublesome!" I waited here for three days, it's not that I didn't do anything, I once deliberately divided my troops to make a roundaround in order to find out the speed of the opponent's sailors, but the opponent's speed far exceeded my estimate, almost not much slower than the cavalry, what do you say about this? ”

This news was a bit unexpected, not only were the Tumen stunned, but even Burihatu immediately frowned.

However, after all, Buzhihatu is a figure like a military advisor, frowning for a moment, and then asked: "Fried Huataiji, do you divide your troops downstream, or do you divide troops upstream?" ”

Fried Flower Taiji's eyes widened and said, "Am I so stupid that I can't even understand this bit of truth?" Divide the troops downstream, they can go downstream, and the speed is naturally fast, can I not know? But the problem is, even if I divide my troops upstream, they are still not slow, which is why I feel like I am a ghost, I suspect that their ships have witchcraft! ”

At this moment, Burihatu also fell into doubt. Due to his limited background, of course, his understanding of the water master is not much stronger than that of fried flowers, where does he know the doorway?

Actually, there are two main reasons for this problem.

One is the ship itself, the Gao family's ships belong to the "hybrid", of course, not the mixture of gasoline engine and electric motor, but wind energy plus paddle, these two technologies are leftovers, Gao pragmatic just let the masters join in the design.

Theoretically speaking, the two sets of power systems will definitely have greater requirements for the volume of the ship, and most of them will also affect the cargo capacity, but Jinghua these ships are originally large ships, which does not matter, and the habit of high pragmatism is that "the faster the transport ship, the higher the transportation efficiency", so a little burden on the manufacturing cost does not matter in fact - as long as the business is not finished, it must be more profitable.

But just two sets of power are not enough, because if the wind is against the wind, the wind energy is almost difficult to use, even if the Chinese hard sail can "eat the eight-sided wind", but when it is completely against the wind, it is not rut.

However, when you open the map, you can see that in autumn, Liaodong has begun to blow the west or northwest wind - that is, the wind brought by the so-called Siberian cold current and West Siberian cold current in later generations.

If this kind of wind is eaten by Western-style soft sails, the efficiency loss is very large, but the utilization rate of Chinese-style hard sails for this kind of wind energy that is not completely downwind, but "roughly downwind", is still worth mentioning.

The Jinghua fleet can hardly be much slower than the fried flower cavalry in the countercurrent, relying on these two points.
