The calm sea was calm, and although the clouds in the sky were still high, the air was dreary and oppressive.

On the flagship of the Bohai Sea Army, the "Eagle King", a slender female soldier is tightly hooking the mast with her hand, looking at the sea in the distance. As the daughter of a fisherman who grew up on the seaside, although she has been married to Youzhou for several years, once she returns to the sea, it is still like returning to her mother's arms, and there is no jerky estrangement. The athletic skills trained by her father since she was a child and the life and death tempering of several months of fighting in Youzhou, coupled with her innate sharp eyes, made her stand out and became one of the three high-profile female crew members in the entire Bohai Sea Army, specializing in the important task of overlooking the enemy's situation.

Tightening the rope around her waist, she easily wrapped her legs around the mast, spread the flag with both hands, and waved a "safe" signal to the flagship and the "Black Hawk" and "Flying Eagle" ships accompanying the ship on the left and right.

After receiving the reply of the "continue to observe" flag, she planted the flag at her waist and continued to stare vigilantly at the vast sea. Since this morning, Captain Pinghai announced that he had entered a state of imminent battle, all the officers and men on the warship had extended their shift time, and the boring work of long-term observation made her eyes a little dry and stinging, but she did not have the slightest sense of fear and boredom, the delicacy and tenacity of women are of course an important factor..., the biggest reason is that she cherishes the hard-won life in front of her very much.

A few months ago, her family was suddenly in a tragic disaster, and even her husband died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Karasuma people in order to protect her, and she was once on the verge of collapse and madness, but if it weren't for the bitter support of the belief in revenge in her heart, she would have chosen to die on the way to be escorted by the Karasuma people.

Her gaze inadvertently swept over the unsealed corner of the cabin below, where the signal of her flag was received, and a tall figure in a black cloak stood out...... It was that general, who descended from the sky like a savior when he was in despair, not only dragging hundreds of sisters out of the fire pit, but also leading them all the way to a bloody battle, and gradually annihilated the monstrous hatred in their hearts with the heavy head of the Karasuma people, and since then they have a new life.

The sense of gratitude and pride in her chest spontaneously arose, from a woman who was almost reduced to slavery, to today's female military officers, and even those unruly veterans saluted respectfully to themselves. Such an honor for a woman has only been heard in the story of the legendary Shang king Wu Ding's queen Nu Hao and Sun Wu training court maids for the king of Wu...... Even if you are broken bones, how can you repay this kindness that is like recreation?

Just as her heart was shaking, an anomaly in the extreme distance caught her attention. She rubbed her eyes vigorously, and there was no mistake, a dozen small black dots that were almost invisible to the naked eye appeared on the surface of the sea in the southeast, and it would have been difficult to spot if it weren't for her superhuman eyesight.

"Dangdang!" Without hesitation, she struck the gong on her waist and shouted with all her might: "The enemy ship is in sight!" ”

The dull drum sound of "Knock Knock" sounded from the three ships of "Eagle King", "Black Eagle" and "Flying Eagle" at the same time. Although the cabin was almost completely closed, and there was no scene of the soldiers running and busy, the dense and heavy footnotes could not suppress even the drums....... the first naval battle of the Bohai Sea Division was about to begin.

"General!" Gan Ning rushed behind Nan Ying and roared like thunder: "About fifteen unknown warships have been found in the southeast, and they are occupying the direction of the tailwind and are quickly heading towards our army!" How to deal with it, please show the general! ”

"Are you mistaken? You are the commander of the water army! Nan Ying looked at the enemy ship through the telescope without looking back: "From now on, if there is no danger, I will only observe!" ”

"Hey! That's a great lookout! He ignored the stunned Gan Ning, and said to himself: "Ben will only see it through the telescope, but she can actually observe it with all her eyes...... Hey? What are you doing here? Don't go to command the battle! ”

"General Rongyu!" Gan Ning stared at the telescope in Nan Ying's hand with salivation, and his face was full of flattery: "As the Eagle King, the general is naturally sharp-eyed...... You don't need this gadget, do you? Let's give it to the last general! ”

Nan Ying slapped down the palm he touched, and said angrily: "I just borrowed a compass from you, and you want to exploit the general?" Get out of here, I can't command this battle, and see how I clean you up! ”

Looking at Gan Ning's embarrassed figure, Nan Ying suddenly smiled dumbly: "Eagle King, Eagle King?" These boys are really ghosts, Mo Zhe's ship is named Black Eagle, and Su Fei's ship is named Flying Eagle, are you afraid that these boats will be robbed by others in the future? Even Gan Ning, this kid, wants to be the Eagle King once! These little bastards! ”

"General Gan has an order, observe the speed of the ship!" The herald yelled.

"Yes!" Immediately, a sailor poked his head out of the bow porthole and threw a piece of coloured wood into the sea.

"....... three breaths!" The sailor in charge of observing the stern of the ship had just caught the piece of wood that was rapidly floating by from his eye-level gaze, and immediately calculated the speed of the voyage quickly in his heart, and shouted: "The current speed, about twenty miles per hour!" ”

"What about enemy ship estimates? Hurry up! ”

“…….”

"General!" A crisp female voice said: "According to the prediction of the subordinates, the enemy ships have three or four sails, plus the tailwind, the speed is at least twice as fast as ours!" ”

"You're the lookout?" Nanying and Gan Ning's eyes lit up at the same time: "Well done!" ”

"Subordinate to the naval army, Cui Yuxiu, the leader of the hand!" The female military officer gave an impeccable military salute, and her movements were smooth and pleasant: "Xie Yingyang, General Zhonglang, Captain Pinghai!" ”

"Excellent! Keep watching! Nanying approvingly: "Come, this is for you first!" ”

Gan Ning saw Nan Ying stretch out his hand and hand over the telescope in his hand, and couldn't help but say in a hurry: "General, this, this!" ”

"General Xie!" Cui Yuxiu unexpectedly did not stretch out his hand to take it, but bowed down and said: "My subordinates are confident that with their own eyesight, they are competent enough to observe the job...... The two generals have the heavy responsibility of commanding, so it is better to keep this strange thing by their side! ”

With that, she saluted again, and turned away.

"This woman...... No! This female soldier is not simple! Gan Ning looked at Nanying, who was also dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "Now the last general really admires the general's decision that day more and more, choosing a female soldier to enlist in the army is indeed stronger than a man in many aspects!" ”

"Humph!" A sneer came, and Zhang Meng came according to the money: "Who said that women are inferior to men? Is such a superficial truth known today? ”

Gan Ning shrank her head, wisely did not dare to speak, but Nan Ying was a little angry with her domineering, and said stimulatingly: "In the battle of Yunwu Mountain that day, Miss made a miraculous feat, so please make a plan again, so that our army can defeat the enemy in one blow?" ”

"Think beautifully!" Zhang Mengyi said leisurely: "When you are helpless, this girl will come to save you again!" ”

"You!" Nanying couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and was about to fight with her, but he heard the herald shout: "Report the two generals!" When the enemy ship approached the middle ......., General Mo Zhe and General Su Fei asked for instructions at the same time, whether to close the top compartment and attack the enemy ship with a strong crossbow? ”

"Permission!" Gan Ning said in a deep voice: "Close the top cabin, lower the sail and drop the mast, and the oars and ships are ready to move with all their might, just waiting for the enemy ship to approach, release the fire oil with the bow and crossbow, and storm the ...... of its front position."

"Nope! Maintain the status quo! Nan Ying suddenly interrupted: "If we attack the enemy from a distance, it will make our army's advantage come to the fullest, and once the enemy army suffers a long-range attack, it will be far away without any hope of victory...... At that time, the enemy was outnumbered and could not expand the victory, so Ben ordered: The bow and crossbow do not move, let the enemy come closer! ”

"Order the Guardians and Marines to prepare for broadside combat!" He showed a challenging smile to Zhang Mengyi: "Please Miss Mengyi, please take a look, this general can also capture the enemy without losing anyone!" ”

"General!" Gan Ning opened his mouth wide: "Didn't you say that you would not command, but only observe?" ”

"The war requires, and Ben decided to temporarily revise the combat order!" Nanying glared at him viciously: "Why do you have any problems with this?" ”

"....... will not dare!"

On the pirate side, more than a dozen sand boats were guarding the two tall and majestic building ships, and the wind tent was exhausted, and they were pressing towards the three strange-shaped Han warships in the distance with the help of the wind.

"My mother!" Li Shaojie looked at the never-before-seen warships without blinking, and suddenly laughed wildly: "Just need to put a head again, and it will be a big turtle!" ”

"Such an ugly warship......" he sighed faintly, "The vain marshal also had a lot of respect before!" It's really a joy to come and go away! ”

"But you can also use waste!" Li Shaojie blinked, and laughed again: "It's not bad to snatch it back for the children to play!" ”

Several of the pirate leaders beside him also laughed wildly, and their faces were full of contempt.

"Nanying, what a hubr!" He laughed for a long time before he said with a straight face: "Look at the volume of these warships, each one can only accommodate two hundred soldiers, and three ships are only six hundred...... How dare he try to provoke this commander with his meager strength? I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

"Look, big man!" A leader pointed to the Han army and said: "The enemy ships are bulky, only have two sails, and the wind direction is unfavorable, we can give full play to the speed advantage, take two building ships directly into it, and the two teams of sand boats will attack the left and right, and we will definitely wipe them out!" ”

"No, that Southern Eagle is good at fire attack, although the wind direction is in my favor, it is still necessary to guard against it!" Li Shaojie thought for a while, and said categorically: "Order, each with three sand boats to divide the left and right boats, and the brigade slowly presses up." Wait for the enemy's main ship to lose its response on both sides, and then go all out! ”

"Yes!"

"Two teams on the left and right, raise the bow skew!"

"Lower the sail ....... turn the rudder!"

"Turn the sails in the wind, detour the enemy's flanks, and prepare to attack!"

In a loud roar, the flag waved like flying, and the formation of the pirate fleet changed, and the whole home team lowered its low sails, and used seven sand ships to protect the two building ships, holding down the formation steadily. The six sand boats drew two arcs on the left and right of the branches, and went straight to the two ships of the Bohai Navy, "Black Eagle" and "Flying Eagle".

"Li Shaojie is so cautious?" Looking at the enemy's warships changing formations freely, Nan Ying was a little surprised and said, "With such an advantage, he still wants to break them one by one?" ”

"That's it!" He paused and sighed, "I still can't achieve much success!" ”

"General, it seems that we are all underestimating him!" Gan Ning's eyes were blazing, full of fierce fighting intent: "These pirates don't have complicated orders, but their actions are like controlling horses, whether it is overall command or water operation cooperation...... Far better than the Han army sailors known to the last general! ”

"Very high!" Nan Ying crooked the corners of his mouth: "How do you think they compare to our army?" ”

"In terms of experience, our army may not be as good as it!" Gan Ning smiled slightly: "But when it comes to ship equipment and soldiers' combat strength, these pirates can't catch up with our army!" ”

"The general's previous decision may really be the best policy!" He propped up the railing with both hands and looked straight ahead: "The enemy has taken advantage of the direction of the wind, if our army shows a little cowardice, maybe they will all pounce on it, then our soldiers may have many mistakes in the first battle!" ”

"But now!" He laughed: "The enemy army does not know the reality of our army, and only dares to attack in detachments, which just gives us the opportunity to eat them!" ”

"You wait!" Nan Ying pondered Gan Ning's words in his heart, suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Ben Jiang didn't calculate like this before....... are you sarcastic about Ben Jiang by mistake?" ”

"How dare the last general?" Gan Ning snorted, turned around and said sharply to the commander of the banner: "Didn't you hear the general's military order?" Inform the Black Hawk and Flying Eagle ships to prepare enough fierce materials and prepare to capture the enemy ships according to the established method of boarding and combat! ”

"Open all the top cabins of the Eagle King!" He silently calculated the speed of the enemy's main team in his heart, and shouted: "Just wait for the Black Hawk and Flying Eagle to engage the enemy, and immediately launch the Vulcan at the enemy's main ship!" ”

"The main ship?" Nanying suddenly screamed: "Those building ships are all the things of the generals!" ”
