The blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, presenting a soothing and moving scene, but beneath the layers of rolling waves, the unfathomable and unfathomable heart of the sea is enough to make anyone feel humbled and fearful.

On the surface of the sea, three strange warships shaped like giant turtles are speeding through the waves at a high speed that is not commensurate with their bodies, and the bow of the ship is rowing away the little white foam caused by the waves, and in the sunlight it is like a splash of crystal pearls, which is beautiful.

It is a new type of warship that resembles a turtle ship that later shone in the Great Patriotic War of Korea. Compared to the traditionally built turtle ship, it did not have a turtle head in the bow and could not be equipped with a gun that fired in all directions, and was replaced by a powerful giant crossbow that could be fired from the left and right windows in front of the hull, but it still inherited the characteristics of the turtle ship's closed roof, so that the warriors inside the ship could be most effectively protected in close combat.

Different from the legendary ironclad battleship, this kind of warship designed by Nanying with great thought and painstaking design only installed a certain number of thin iron plates on both sides of the hull, but the top of the ship is covered with yak hides that are difficult to penetrate, which greatly reduces the weight of the hull, but the protection power is unabated. The seemingly completely closed roof can actually be disassembled and assembled in blocks through the refined iron tether of the ink, and the two thick masts can be erected and put down.

It also makes this kind of warship have a strong camouflage and deception.

The bulky hull design is another clever trick. No one can imagine the incredible speed of the twenty oars on either side of the hull, together with the two wooden trolls placed in the stern of the boat, if they were to move at full speed while the wind was blowing. This is not a technological product of this era at all, and it will only come out in a few hundred years, but due to Nanying's ignorance of later warships and Morang's meticulous research on the way of steel wheel teeth, this incomparably powerful "ship" was born without hindrance.

To be able to perfectly integrate such exquisite craftsmanship and huge materials, in the world, I am afraid that only Nanying can have such a big stroke.

It is no wonder that on the day the warship was launched, he felt the amazing speed of the galloping horse, and touched the outer body of the battleship, which was difficult to penetrate, not only Gan Ning was shocked to the point of dementia, but even Mo Rang and Mo Zhe, who made the warship by themselves, were also in tears, and they were embarrassed.

Standing in front of the bow window, Nan Ying stretched out his hand against the railing, looking at the infinitely stretching line of sea and sky, listening to the sound of hunting as the sea breeze swept through the cloak behind him, and his chest was full of ambition and ambition.

"General!" Gan Ning's voice sounded from behind him, as if he was sighing softly, "Why do you have to fight in person? The last general ......"

"Why? And you in general! Nanying didn't look back, pointed to the blue sea and blue sky in front of him, and said with emotion: "Being able to chase the waves and play in such a moving scenery, as a general...... Is there a more fascinating war in the world? ”

"General, you are such a general! Being able to follow you may be the wisest decision in the last general's life! Gan Ning said sincerely: "Not to mention that you were able to design such a world-famous warship...... It's been three days since you went out to sea, but you seem to be completely unaffected by the turbulence of the sea, which is really admirable to the general! ”

"Dare to underestimate the general!" Nanying laughed, reached out and patted his broad shoulder: "Will Ben be a landlubber?" Back then, Ben had endured half a year of high-intensity training at sea! Don't say that now the wind and waves are calm, that is, the turbidity waves are empty, and there is no fear at all! ”

"The general is such a strange man...... But the last general is still strange! Gan Ning pouted behind him, Zhang Mengyi was standing in front of an open porthole, letting the sea breeze blow her hair and dance, showing a heartstring-shaking elegance.

"Since that eldest lady has a unique identity and is delicate and expensive, why would the general allow her to go to sea with the ship?" He lowered his voice and said, "Even if it won't damage a single hair of her, how can she endure this suffering at sea?" If you vomit for a while, I'm afraid it's a big bad scenery! ”

"The person behind the discussion is not a gentleman's doing!" Zhang Mengyi turned half of the jade noodles sideways, and the faint words came over clearly: "Although this girl has never had the experience of going to sea, she has good medical medicine, and she has taken a few doses of medicine to suppress the irritability in her chest, and she expects that there is no problem...... Don't bother General Laogan! ”

Nan Ying looked at Gan Ning who stuck out his tongue, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he slowly stretched out his hand, and used sign language to type out the general meaning of the test agreed with Zhang Mengyi, but he didn't dare to test this strange woman's extraordinary ear power anymore.

Sure enough, Zhang Mengyi couldn't see through the meaning of sign language, so she let out a coquettish snort coldly, turned her face sideways, and seemed to vent her dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Gan Ning, you feel that you are good at water warfare, but you don't want to underestimate others!" Nan Ying coughed lightly, and said, "Is a water battle the same as a sea war?" Even though you can cross rivers, once you are at sea, it is completely different...... That's the real reason why Ben is going to go on the ship! ”

"The general also understands naval warfare?" Gan Ning was a little unconvinced: "It's the first time I've heard of it since I followed the general for many years!" ”

"O frog at the bottom of the well! So I will ask you first, the sea is boundless, and there is no comparison of scenery on both sides of the strait, how to orient yourself on the sea? Nanying deliberately asked casually.

"Naturally, you can watch the day during the day and the stars at night!" Gan Ning blurted out: "The ancients, when you are worried about losing your direction at night, you should take Doujian as the right, add four o'clock, and know what to advance and retreat!" ”

"General, although the last general has never been in a naval battle! But he is also quite familiar with hydrological celestial phenomena! He said triumphantly: "On the sea, the sun is the main wind, the moon is the main rain, the wind and rain all come from the halo, the stars are twinkling, and the clouds are scattered like smoke, all of them are the main winds......

"Yes, that's a good point!" Nanying said casually: "Have you ever thought about a question, what if the dark clouds cover the stars at night?" ”

"This?" Gan Ning was almost speechless, he scratched his head, and then said: "Then only stop driving at the lower pier and wait for the clouds to disperse..."

He saw that Nan Ying looked like he was smiling, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Since ancient times, no one has been able to discern the direction in the dark night covered by clouds and mist, can the general do it again?" ”

"You're right!" Nanying saw Zhang Mengyi's pair of crystal cute little ears not far away gently shuffling again, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, he said seriously: "In the world, there is really only one person who can do this!" ”

He reached into his arms and felt out the military dagger that had been with him until now, and in Gan Ning's stunned eyes, he slowly unscrewed the bottom of the handle, revealing a compass.

"This, this is!" Gan Ning pointed to the red pointer that kept shaking gently in the disc, and said sluggishly: "Could it be that this arrow is pointing ......?"

"Not bad! No matter where you are or what time of day you are, this arrow will always point you to the north and south! This thing is unique in the world......" Nan Ying said lightly, he suddenly remembered that it was recorded in history that Ma Jun had tried to produce a guide car, and couldn't help blurting out: "In the future, maybe only Ma Jun can imitate it!" ”

Zhang Mengyi also turned around in disbelief, and a look of surprise shot out of her eyes.

"There are not many opportunities to be at sea, so today I will borrow this thing for the time being!" Nan Ying cherished the handle of the knife, handed it to Gan Ning, and said with a smile: "I said in advance, if Ma Jun can make this thing, you can return the original thing!" ”

"Thank you, General! The last general is really an eye-opener today! Gan Ning was surprised and delighted, and said embarrassedly: "It's ridiculous that the last general was still playing ....... in front of the general before."

"Would you like to hear more about Shogun's experience of naval warfare?" Nan Ying interrupted: "If you are not convinced, just you and I will discuss it purely for you!" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Gan Ning no longer had the previous conceit, and said with a look of ecstasy: "Please teach the general!" ”

"On the vast sea, even if we have such an advantage as the eye of the sky, it is impossible to control the overall situation, and the soldiers continue to use the treadwheel and the giant oar, which is the key to naval warfare, and the first wind power!" Nan Ying pondered the ancient books he had vaguely learned in the textbooks back then, and said slowly: "It is the old soldier of the sea, no wind and no war, no wind and no war, no rain and no war, no war against the wind and tide, no battle in the clouds and fog, no battle in the dark of the night and night, the hurricane is coming, the sand road is not familiar, the thieves are outnumbered, there is no place to moor, and they do not fight......"

Gan Ning listened respectfully, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he was completely caught in the essence of this unheard-of naval battle, and the two of them who were concentrating on each other, no one noticed that Zhang Mengyi was staring at Nanying in a daze, with colorful ripples in his eyes, and he wanted to melt the tall figure that was gradually entering the role into his eyes.

An island hundreds of miles away. The island is surrounded by mountain peaks, towering into the clouds, in the middle of dense forests, springs and streams, but it is quiet and quiet, without hearing half of the human voice, it seems to be an extinct paradise.

However, if you follow the current of the sea in the north of the island, which is just right for boats, you will suddenly open up after passing through several steep mountain walls that seem to be exhausted. The calm lake in the middle of the island is located on the shore of a valley surrounded by peaks, and the lake is lined with masts, and warships are quietly anchored in it, like a fine military port. On the flat and wide valley, the houses are scattered, and the fertile fields are hidden among the green waters and green mountains, showing a quiet and tranquil peaceful atmosphere.

In a tall wooden house, Li Shaojie and a group of pirate leaders were listening intently to a report from a subordinate.

“…… According to the urgent report of the coastal pile, just two days ago, three strange warships that had never been seen before passed through their fishing village, and they were looking around for our news, and then thinking of the intelligence that Yingyang Zhonglang would return from the northern expedition, his subordinates thought that these warships must be retaliating against us after we robbed the slipway! ”

"Humph! Sure enough, it came! Li Shaojie raised his chin proudly: "This is the end of despising this handsome...... What should you do about this? ”

"Dashuai!" One of the leaders hesitated: "My subordinates think that since we have taken advantage of the situation and have not hurt the other party in the slightest, it is not appropriate to make a big fight while there is no irresolvable hatred between the two sides......

"Fuck it!" Another leader pouted and said, "We suffered a loss before, but now we are just paying back the color, which is called not owing each other." Besides, on the vast sea, he also wants to find us with just three warships? Ignore him! ”

Several leaders were talking endlessly, and suddenly they only heard a loud "bang", and several people looked at it in surprise at the same time, but saw that the handsome man was blushing, and his eyes flashed with anger like madness.

"A bunch of guts! I'm so angry! Li Shaojie had bruised muscles on his forehead, panting and roaring: "Why does this marshal want to retreat from that Eagle Yang Zhonglang? He has repeatedly humiliated us, if we are cowardly and afraid of war, what face will this commander stand between heaven and earth? ”

"Dashuai, you also said a bold word the day before yesterday!" A leader was stunned and said: "My generation of heroes on the sea, I can't go up to the sky, I can't go down to the ground, I am free in the stormy waves, and I show my true colors as a man...... What stands between heaven and earth? Does it have anything to do with us? ”

"You!" Li Shaojie was so angry that his eyes rolled and he choked in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

A leader saw that the face of the big man was getting redder and redder, and it seemed that he was about to go on the spot, and immediately said: "Big handsome! At the end of the day, you're the one in charge, and we're at your disposal! ”

Li Shaojie's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "You kid still knows the general ...... The decision of this commander has been decided, and the whole army will attack to meet the Han army! ”

"Active engagement?" Several leaders showed surprise together, and one of them even blurted out: "We have always attacked and harassed the Han army's naval divisions, and only attacked lone ships, so it ....... inappropriate to engage in such a frontal and tough battle, right?" ”

"You know what a?" Li Shaojie sneered and said: "The Han army knows that we have robbed two large building ships and greatly increased its strength, but still dares to fight with only three warships, what is the reason?" One is because they don't know how powerful we are, and the other is because of their blind confidence in the new warships....... in other words, these three warships must be extraordinary, hahaha! ”

He suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Haven't you heard? If we can take advantage of their absolute superiority to take these three warships in one fell swoop, the coastal areas of Hebei, Qingdao and Xu will be our world sooner or later! ”

"What?" A clever leader immediately understood the meaning of the marshal's words, and he gasped: "The marshal wants to use these warships as a model to imitate a huge fleet?" ”

"It can't be!" One of the leaders saw the marshal nodding triumphantly, and immediately objected: "Even if we have the method of making ships, where will the craftsmen and money come from? ”

"Humph! It's all ignorance! The handsome man smiled incomprehensibly: "Craftsmen can invite, hire, or even catch!" As for money, this boss just happened to learn about a shortcut! ”

"What shortcut?" The subordinates' eyes all lit up.

"Right now, you don't have to know too much!" The marshal's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of unforgettable hatred, and he said calmly: "Capture the enemy ships first, and then raze the management and destroy Li Pei...... After that, this marshal will tell the truth! ”
