Letting go of those miscellaneous thoughts, Su Dingfang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he paid attention to the upcoming naval battle.

"Why didn't the Grand Governor allow that Hussein to come aboard?" Su Dingfang was puzzled by this.

It is said that this time he went to sea to exterminate the pirates, nominally commissioned by Hussein, after all, he received a generous reward from others, and even a treasure like a treasure of ocean-going charts! However, when the army went to sea, they left their employer on a cargo ship and followed the last of the fleet, and could only capture the pirates in the sailors

It would be a bit reckless to allow him to go ashore and search for his nephew and his people after the den.

Fang Jun sat on the chair in the cabin, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Because in this battle, we will experiment with the latest weapons, and we must constantly test the effect according to the situation on the battlefield, and we can't let those Hu people know our secrets." ”

Su Dingfang suddenly said: "Artillery? I beg your pardon for the shallowness of the general's knowledge, can the artillery really be used as the chief said, and can become a weapon of naval warfare? ”

For these days, Su Dingfang has been leading the sailors to practice in batches at sea, although he knows that Fang Jun has made a new type of firearm called "artillery" in the manufacturing bureau, but he is at a loss as to what it is.

Fang Jun said proudly: "What's more than a naval battle? With this thing, future wars will completely change their form, and even an unborn military genius like Duke Wei will have to change the previous strategy and strategy in his military book! ”

Although the difference between cold weapons and hot weapons is only one word, in terms of the form of warfare, it is a earth-shaking change! In the era of cold weapons, even the cavalry with the most disparity in strength rushed into battle, and the mortality rate was only about 20%. If the army dies in two, the wounded will often reach four cities or even more, even the most elite troops, in the face of such a casualty rate, they will have to collapse!

Words such as "the whole army is exhausted" that appear at every turn in the history books are either deliberately exaggerated to show their merits, or they are the dead and wounded, the wounded and the prisoners of prisoners, and the entire army has completely disappeared.

It is almost impossible to completely annihilate a force in a real way.

Of course, killing hundreds of thousands of prisoners at once like Bai Qi is not counted......

But in the age of hot weapons, nothing is impossible!

What is the death and wounding of hundreds of thousands of people in a battle?

How many times has a force of tens of thousands of people been wiped out?

When the day the hot weapon appeared, human life became a cold number......

Naval warfare in the era of cold weapons is nothing more than bow and arrow coverage, close combat, and then broadside. But what about the age of hot weapons? As soon as the cannon bombarded from afar, a warship fell silent, and all the soldiers on board were killed.

There is no upper limit to the scale of the war.

No matter how strong a battleship is, it can't resist a few torpedoes......

Su Dingfang's eyes were about to pop out when he was shocked by Fang Jun's words, and he wanted to refute, so he opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything ugly.

Wei Gong Li Jing is not only Su Dingfang's commander, not only is he a teacher, but also the most admired military god in his life!

Li Jingzhi's use of troops has already reached the realm of transcendence, winning more with less is a matter at all, surprise, divine soldiers descending from the sky, annihilating the enemy and invisibly, is the most basic pursuit!

And what is Fang Jun?

In addition to being a good hand at making money, this guy knows how to fight!

Su Dingfang dared not to say proudly that if he was given the same strength as Fang Jun to fight on the battlefield, he could completely torture this dumb kid to death!

Even like you, dare to beak Wei Gong's art of war?

Su Dingfang rolled his eyes and decided to ignore Fang Jun's wild words, as if he had heard a joke that was really not funny......

*****

Huojiao Island is one of the best islands in the middle of the sea, this island covers a very large area, with mountains, rivers, ports and fresh water, and naturally has a large population.

And the name of "Qingpijiao" is even more famous among the bandits in the East China Sea!

The island of Fire Reef is peaceful and quiet in the early morning.

The sea breeze blows the waves, making a rustling sound, the sun rises in the east, and the golden light still shines on the golden scales of the sea, as if ten thousand golden snakes are twisting and wriggling. The gentle waves licked the bottom of the ships in the harbor, causing them to shake slightly.

When a huge fleet of ships appeared on the horizon, the harbour instantly resounded with a piercing horn, shattering the tranquility of the serenity.

Countless sturdy men, disheveled and even barefoot, escaped from the houses all over the island and flocked to the warships in the harbor. The trestles on the pier were erected, and the pirates leaped onto the ship with all their skills.

Searching for weapons, hoisting sails, and wringing anchors, countless warships slowly turned around, and schools of fish generally rushed out of the harbor and pounced on the imperial sailors who came to attack from afar.

The pirates on deck drew their swords, spears in hand, and bows and crossbows were wound. The hammers with chains are hung on the batters on both sides of the ship, the horns of the bow of the ship are fangs and claws, and everyone is bright with swords and guns, all of whom are heroes who have fought at sea for many years.

The murderous flotilla of sailors swooped into the distance.

????“ "Jiao Shixun looked at such a lineup, full of ambition and ambition! In addition to the largest pirate Zhang Tiecheng's fleet in the East China Sea, who else is his opponent Jiao Shixun?

Imperial Sailor?

Hehe......

Jiao Shixun had a self-contained smile on the corner of his mouth, standing proudly on the bow of the boat, his heart full of disdain. No matter how heroic he Fang Jun is, it is impossible to form an invincible sailor in this short period of time.

The navy is different from the foot soldiers, and it is slightly similar to the cavalry, that is, the quality requirements for the soldiers themselves are too high! An excellent fisherman can sail out to sea by himself, but it definitely does not mean that he can become an excellent sailor!

Could it be that Fang Jun also regarded himself as a little shrimp who covered the sea?

Then let you see what it means to be a pirate who roams the oceans!

???? Countless warships raced across the sea, and the minions on the pirate ships were as bold as their bandit leader, Jiao Shixun, and they were not at all worried about the upcoming battle. In their opinion, it doesn't take much effort to fight with the imperial navy division at all, their own side is a strong man who kills and plunders on the sea almost every day, and the sailor side is a temporary patchwork of government soldiers, once the two fleets are engaged in battle, what is the difference between it and catching a chicken in their backyard and killing and eating meat?

The only thing that makes the pirate minions a little unrefreshed is that the sailors of the imperial court will not carry a lot of money and goods, and there will be no tender little ladies, even if the sailors are killed, it is impossible for the stolen ships to be given to the minions without one.

There's no motivation......

The two fleets were moving in opposite directions like arrows from a string, getting closer and closer.

Jiao Shixun's ship rushed to the front, his eyesight was excellent, and he looked at the four warships led by the other party from a distance, looking a little strange.

The sails are very big and white, full of food and the wind is swollen, but the hull is narrow and slender, Jiao Shixun is beating the drum in his heart - these ships are really driving too fast!

The slender hull of the ship cleaved the waves on the sea, and it really flew like an arrow from a string, and its speed was not inferior to that of a galloping horse on land!

However, Jiao Shixun was only shocked that the speed of the other party's ships was too fast, but he was full of confidence in the battle that was about to start.

His own warship was built with four masts, eight oars on the left and right. The soldier rocked the oars and the sails ate the wind, and the speed was extremely fast. Moreover, the ship's body is strong and sturdy, and the arrows are shot from afar, and the angle of attack is slammed and the rod is slapped closely, and then the enemy is engaged in a battle, and the bandits under his command are invincible in the face of a group of improvised civilians who have been put together.

Is this Fang Jun stupid?

Do you really think that you are the unpopular goods that cover the sea, and you want to win again?

It's naïve......

The two flotillas quickly approached.

Jiao Shixun ordered the flag-bearers on the ship to sound the flag, and the minions on each ship got ready.

The Great War is imminent!

However, the next moment, an incredible scene appeared in front of Jiao Shixun's eyes.

I saw that the four fastest boats among the sailors suddenly drew an arc on the sea, and the white water at the stern showed a semicircular trajectory, facing him with the side side.

Then, a dull thunderclap exploded in his ears.

The fire on the four enemy ships flickered, followed by a puff of black smoke.

Jiao Shixun is simply unbelievable, the enemy ship is on fire?
