Tong Wei and Tong Meng are no longer the ignorant young men in the countryside who followed Li Jun to mingle with the Yangjiang smuggler salt dealers, and are now the commanders of Li Jun's two main battleships, but at this time, they are not on their respective warships to command and dispatch to prepare for naval battles, they are all on gunboats.

In order to efficiently clean up the Goryeo naval army in Jian Province, facilitate the patrol of the Yalu River, the waters of the Wa Kingdom and other water areas in the future, and combat the invasion of the peninsula by the Jin Liao Wa, Zhao Yue just transferred two iron ships from the South China Sea.

The vast majority of the soldiers of the Northern Army had never seen an iron ship, but they had long heard that the empire had such a weapon of great destruction. Many of the officers have already seen it.

This is because the Northern Army and the Southern Army have always maintained interaction, exchanges, and study at the level of military academy instructors and officers of military units, strengthened mutual understanding and affection between the two armies, as well as the sense of large groups, and strived to make progress together, so that when the time comes, the North and the South will be able to tacitly coordinate operations, so as to avoid the hostility and merit of the two armies resulting in internal strife and dragging back when the grand strategy is being carried out.

The Navy is a technical branch of the armed forces, and exchanges and training in this area are particularly frequent.

The Tong brothers have tried gunboats in the South China Sea, and they are no strangers to this iron guy, and they have seen the shrimp sea general triumphantly driving it to wantonly chase and bombard foreign ships that try to invade the South China Sea, and often a boat can scare and paralyze the huge fleets of the Eastern Roman Empire and the Persian Empire, which are not good for cattle, and they know that although this iron guy is small and powerful, the speed is fast, and the 'work' on it is too enjoyable, and they are all fanatical, and as soon as the gunboat arrived, they were ecstatic to apply to Li Jun to study in gunboats.

No matter how strict the management of the Northern Army is, no matter how strict the management of the Northern Army is, and no matter how official it is in official affairs, Li Jun will inevitably give priority to taking care of it within the scope of principles, and naturally not only approved the applications of the two little brothers, but also specially exhorted and encouraged them to study and master it in an all-round way.

These two iron ships will be used by the Northern Army in the future, and if the Northern Army does not master the use of it itself, will it still let the soldiers from the Southern Army work for a long time?

I can't afford to lose that person.

Because the Southern Army is guarding the scientific research base on Bay Island, it has the geographical advantage that it can always be the first to come into contact with and use the latest scientific and technological weapons achievements, and the Northern Army has already suffered a big loss in this respect, and if it has the opportunity to master new weapons, how can it not pay special attention to efforts to catch up with the gap with the Southern Army.

Tong Wei Tong Meng took the smart and capable soldiers to the gunboat, not only to learn, but also to be proficient in the operation of iron ships in the Northern Navy.

Li Jun and other senior naval officers knew in their hearts that starting with gunboats, the era of ironclad warships in the empire was slowly coming. The empire is using the experience of iron-making gunboats to carry out the construction of larger offshore iron fellows, and the progress is slow, and it is said that Prince Puji is disappointed in the scientific research team's ability to understand and absorb new technologies, but it is only a matter of time before the power wooden hull ships are eliminated.

Zhao Yue is disappointed in the scientific research people of this era, but the quality gap of the human era is objectively existent and difficult to change quickly, and he does not force it, but only concentrates the most intelligent and creative talents on learning and tackling some priority development fields, such as materials, engines, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, electronics, etc. In the military, the most important thing is iron ships, artillery and aircraft.

In order to steadily realize the imperial territorial strategy, to defend the vast and vast territory, and to effectively consolidate the all-round new political and ideological rule, it is not possible to rely mainly on cavalry, navy, police, and other manpower, and even if the troops are equipped with various guns, it is not the most effective way.

The ancients were familiar with guns and always overcame their fears. There will always be fanatics who are not afraid of death or cunning elements who create trouble and invade the empire.

Zhao Yue also did not want the new empire to raise too many soldiers to maintain its rule, which would consume too much, greatly waste the country's financial resources and increase the burden on the people, not to mention the precious young human resources, and seriously drag down the country's development.

In order to overcome the terrible traffic conditions of this era, to cross natural geographical barriers such as primeval forests, deserts, vast grasslands, and remote mountainous areas, to be able to send people to manage and pacify in a timely manner politically, to quickly reach the place of sudden accidents militarily, to quickly and accurately strike at the enemy who dares to commit crimes and to make trouble, and to be able to achieve long-range surprise attacks to deter enemy countries and clans in the most effective and economical way.

Airplanes are the most effective weapon to deter and conquer this superstitious and ignorant world, and it is Zhao Yue's highest military priority.

With his expertise in materials and machinery manufacturing, he has the foundation to lead the development of the dream of an aircraft power far ahead of his time.

It is said that Tong Weitong stood beside the gunboat cannon excitedly, very modest and serious to observe and learn the gunner's operation.

During the trial in the South China Sea, they fired artillery, but they only understood that if they wanted to fight accurately, they could not solve it quickly if they were smart and savvy, and it required a lot of experience and judgment from shell shooting.

The two gunboats were divided into left and right, and they opened a large distance to meet the huge enemy fleet that covered an entire sea area under the pressure of black pressure.

On the gunboat on the left, the main gunner from the Southern Army saw Tong Wei staring at him greedily and rubbing his hands and eagerly trying it, but he knew that his level was poor and he had no self-confidence, he couldn't help laughing and said: "General Tong, if you want to play, you can come up and operate a few." ”

When Tong Wei tried in the South China Sea, the two knew each other, very angry, the main gunner used the South China Sea lobster and other warm hospitality Tong Wei, teaching technology more enthusiastic and meticulous tirelessly, formed a friendship, this time to the north to help the war, Tong Wei in turn hospitably entertained him, the relationship between the two is better. This righteous and clever brother of the Northern Admiral wants to play with artillery to attack the enemy, what is wrong with this?

Tong Wei's eyes lit up, but then he swallowed his saliva, shook his head very hard, and said, "I'm not good at it." This is a big battle, not training. Military affairs should not be neglected, let alone child's play. Don't delay business. I'm going to have to kill them like you. ”

But the gunner laughed and said, "What's the child's play? ”

He pointed to the more and more turtle boats that had been transferred up in the distance on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "General Tong, do you see this dense black turtle all over the sea, and it is particularly accurate to fight with the requirements?" ”

"Shoot at random in that direction, maybe you can happen to hit the barrels of explosives on the small boat where the sticks are placed, which will be more lively."

Tong Wei turned his attention to the sea and couldn't help but smile, "I'm so excited that I'm so nervous, I forgot about it." ”

There's no need to be cautious and polite.

Tong Wei went to the main gun position, and with the guidance and help of the main gunner, the range was measured and corrected according to the artillery firing law.

The main gunner grinned and said, "Brother, the classic deeds of shelling turtles, start?" ”

"I hope this cannon can blow up a flower and get off to a good start."

At this time, Tong Wei was like a recruit who had just enlisted in the army and was looking forward to the first target shooting, and his brain was a little confused with excitement and nervousness, and when he heard the words of the turtle, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and screamed: "Brother said it well." Let's just play cannon turtle shooting. ”

Shelling was launched amid a strange scream.

The enemy marshal on the opposite side, Jin Yuanhao, suddenly saw two silver shining things coming out from behind the opponent's huge warship, divided into two ways, the speed was extremely fast, and he pounced on the front of the enemy ship in a few blinks.

Because of the distance, he couldn't see the gunboat clearly, but in the end, he was a veteran of the navy, and he had a high sensitivity to the dangers of war that had been formed by his military career for many years, and his heart suddenly palpitated, he felt bad, and his eyelids spasmed uncontrollably, but then he comforted himself that there was nothing to worry about, the opponent was cunning, didn't he just get two strange clippers painted in silver and white, and still wanted to play tricks to scare us?

Amusing.

But, suddenly, a blinding flash of fire appeared from a small silver-white boat that had slowed down, accompanied by a dull thunderclap.

Jin Yuanhao and his subordinates were stunned, and an earth-shattering explosion followed by the turtle boats. In the huge waves of water, a sturdy turtle boat carrying more than 300 soldiers disintegrated in the blink of an eye, countless blood and stumps splashed in the air, mixed with pain and panic screams, the nearby fire boats and several turtle boats were destroyed or destroyed in the waves and explosion shock waves and capsized, and the soldiers planted were planted into the icy sea one after another, desperately struggling without death, and those floating on the surface of the sea were all terrified and desperate screams.

To make matters worse, the gunpowder placed on the fireship also exploded, and although the gunpowder was not in good performance, it could not withstand the large amount of specially prepared to blow up the huge enemy ship, and the power of this explosion was also considerable, causing greater waves and shock waves, which further affected the surrounding ships. At the same time, the clay pot on the fireship shattered, and the oil spilled out, igniting the flames in the explosion, and soon ignited a fire as the oil drifted away, spreading out on the surface of the sea.

The chain reaction caused by this cannon alone dyed the sea water red, and it was soon drowned in a sea of fire.

Jin Yuanhao, who was coaxing on the flagship, was frightened by this groundbreaking bloody and terrifying scene, and his legs were weak, if he hadn't been squeezed by the generals and personal soldiers on the left and right, he had no time around him, and he was designated to fall.

At that moment, another roar was heard.

It turned out that Tong Meng on the right also tried to shoot the cannon. He didn't hit the tortoise, but it hit the large powder keg of a larger fireship, and the explosion caused by the cannonball was even more terrifying, destroying and overturning more turtle ships and fireboats around it, and the fire became more intense.

This cannon not only frightened Jin Yuanhao's group collectively, but also stacked a bunch of Goryeo troops to attack, and everyone who could see a terrible scene in front was also frightened, and those who did not fall were not afraid of their strong psychological quality, either they were scared to pee, or they were stupid, their whole body was stiff, and they couldn't even fall.

Although these two cannons only destroyed the small two areas of the turtle formation, they scared the enemy's courage, and the oil fire drifting everywhere with the waves also frightened the surrounding turtle boats, especially the fire ships loaded with sulfur fire oil gunpowder, desperately trying to avoid it, lest they also become one of the center of the explosion and the burning point of the fire, and the death was too miserable and terrible, but the oil fire that did not extinguish on the sea surface but burned more fiercely due to the expansion of the oxygen surface still ignited some turtle boats and fire boats, resulting in a continuous disaster and further increasing the power of destruction.

The ships had been crowded around all sides, forcing the equally frightened ships to squeeze out even more, so the chain reaction caused the entire huge tortoise formation to be crowded and chaotic, and they had long forgotten the ferocious attack and means that had been planned before.

The tactics carefully planned by Kim Won-ho and the powerful Strategists of Goryeo collapsed along with the resulting confidence in victory.

Li Jun ordered the gunboats to stop the attack, and asked the junior lieutenant to shout again.

The little lieutenant came back to his senses from the thrilling scene in front of him, rubbed his straight eyes, and threatened and surrendered to the broadcast.

"Listen to the Goryeo Army, listen to the Goryeo Army, you have seen the invincible Tianwei attack power of our army, don't take chances, hurry up and raise the white flag and surrender honestly. Otherwise, it's just a small aperitif, and the next thing is the total destruction of the slaughter. ”

After repeating it several times, the little adjutant didn't react when he saw the enemy ship, remembered something, and shouted: "Listen to the Goryeo army, although our side is a pirate, it is a pirate who founded a country, and the main thing to fight you Goryeo is to rob the population and soldiers that are lacking." If you surrender honestly, you will not be killed by us, and you will not become miserable slaves. Our pirate army is a new type of pirate, stresses humanity and discipline, and does not abuse and kill prisoners of war. Understood, downhill. We are pirates and our only downside is our lack of patience. Hurry down, or if you fight again, you don't care about your life. ”

But the Goryeo army still did not react.

Jin Yuanhao recovered some consciousness from the paralysis, and realized that the enemy had a weapon like heavenly might, and it was impossible to win the naval battle, so he turned his mind not to listen to the surrender, but to naturally want to escape. As long as he can keep the vast majority of the warships and soldiers of the army, he can still be his general after returning and enjoy his glory and wealth. He is not Park Sung-eun's unlucky bastard, he has the Lee family as the backstage.

Li Jun saw the scene on the enemy flagship clearly from the binoculars, and scolded: "It seems that if you don't directly threaten Jin Yuanhao's life, this grandson won't learn a lesson, and he just wants to lead the fleet to escape with luck." ”

At the sound of an order, the flag was played.

The gunboat received the order, and this time it did not shell the turtle formation, but increased the firing range, and aimed at the only 5,000-stone ship in the Goryeo army other than the flagship. These two large ships were left on the peninsula to defend Jeju Island and survived without participating in the war.

The excited Tong Wei fired the cannon first, but he was a little short of a distance, and blew up the bow of the thousand-stone ship next to the giant ship.

Standing at the bow of the ship and watching the form, waiting for the order, a group of officers and soldiers flew into the sky with a bang, and the corpses fell into the ship or the sea in a rain of blood, and the blood red stained the sea in a blink of an eye. The warship blew up the bow of the ship, and instead of losing its balance and throwing it backwards into the sea, the warship directly shook the hull.

With a squeaky sound, the big ship dispersed in slow motion, and the countless planks that made up the big ship split and collapsed, and hundreds of soldiers with the screams of the ship spread out to sea.

When the Goryeo army saw this scene, they were completely frightened and collapsed when they saw their compatriots who were sinking rapidly in the icy sea water or struggling for help.

The enemy's strange weapon like thunder could hit so far and directly threaten the flagship, and Jin Yuanhao's attempt was shattered in an instant.

Tong Meng over there saw that the first strike missed the target, and was about to carefully compare it with the help of the main gunner to strive for his own hit, but he saw the enemy flagship trembling and pulling up a white cloth.

The Goryeo army came out to fight, full of confidence, and naturally it was impossible to prepare cloth for surrender in advance. They didn't expect to fail. The ancients of this period did not regard raising the white flag as a surrender. The white flag of surrender that was played at the request of the opponent was hastily torn off the body of a general in white underwear and temporarily filled with it. (To be continued.) )
