But he was very shrewd and didn't ask, since Leng Feng didn't tell him, then this thing shouldn't be exposed easily.

After agreeing that the loud noise was the signal for an attack, the crowd went into action.

Li Jing asked for the direct command of the Dragon Tooth Army, and also divided Zhang Liang's two ships as the Dragon Tooth Army's car.

Li Jing has the name of the god of war, and in the Tang Dynasty, he claimed to be the second to lead the soldiers, and no one dared to recognize the first and third.

Putting the Dragon Tooth Army in the hands of Li Jing, Leng Feng was not worried.

The warships and ordinary sea ships were divided into two camps, and as soon as Leng Feng gave the order, the fishermen drove the sea boats to disperse, forming an encirclement far away from the island, waiting for Leng Feng's cloud-piercing arrow signal.

Leng Feng found a small island and put the children and Liu Shuwen and the others down.

Then comes the time of war, and if he cannot succeed in deterring the enemy, then he must start a naval battle with real swords.

Although the Chengtai is enough to laugh at the ship, it is still very dangerous to take them with them.

After leaving some fishing gear and cooking gear for Leng Jing, Leng Feng smiled and said, "Next, Daddy is going to fight, you are fishing and playing with your sister here, and let your mother help you find out if you can eat it, and when Daddy finishes the war, I will come to pick you up." ”

Leng Jing nodded, although he really wanted to see what the battlefield was like, but he knew that he couldn't hold his father back at this time.

Seeing Leng Feng looking at him, Li Tai hurriedly ran to the side of the boat, "Master, don't let me stay here!" I've got something to do! ”

"Okay, let's get on board."

Although he really wanted to leave Li Tai on the shore, since Li Tai insisted, Leng Feng couldn't force him.

The Chengtai retracted its planks and headed north.

After not taking care of the wooden ship, the Chengtai immediately showed its performance, and the black smoke was spewing out, and the speed was approaching fifty kilometers per hour.

The steam engine developed by Li Tai and the Gongyi family is really powerful.

Regardless of convenience, it's time to catch up with the average engine.

Next, the Seungtai was to the north of the Goto Islands, where the Wa and Goryeo fleets were stationed, and if they wanted to escape, it was the first choice to go to the Wa Kingdom. Otherwise, they will plunge into the vast sea. In the absence of charts, this is no different from sending people to death.

Along the way, Leng Feng saw that the ordinary boats driven by the fishermen had completed a simple encirclement.

When these fishermen heard the news of the recruitment, they all took the initiative to come to the call, and although most of them are old, their experience is definitely top-notch.

They knew that this operation was a part of the war, but they did not hesitate.

used to recruit marines, and he was a man who was the number one man at sea, but when he arrived in front of the battle, he was not much better than a landlubber.

But naval battles are different, they are very experienced at sea, even if they fight, they have the upper hand. Especially when they heard that they would not only have a sum of money to get after participating, but also get military merits, they were even more positive.

It took an hour and a half for the Chengtai to reach its set goal.

When the bow and stern of the ship could vaguely see the land, Leng Feng gave the soldier a look.

The soldier immediately raised the eight-ox crossbow and aimed it at the sky.

Because the range of transmission signals is too large, ordinary cloud-piercing arrows cannot transmit signals at all.

Therefore, this cloud-piercing arrow is the eight-bull crossbow version.

Sou!

The cloud-piercing arrow rose into the air, and began to spew red smoke less than halfway through.

The column of smoke persisted for a long time, and even if it was dissipated a little by the sea breeze, it was still clearly discernible in the distance.

Seeing the red plume of smoke, the fishermen began to approach the island in their boats.

There is a shore current, and you don't need to control the sails to move forward.

When the shore was still faintly discernible, they stopped in unison and dropped anchor.

The task given to them by the Lord Protector was to park the ship here, and if they encountered a ship that broke through, they would do what they could.

With more than 500 ships, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the people on the shore, and it was not long before wolf smoke rose from the shores of the outermost islands.

Seeing the wolf smoke through the binoculars, Zhang Zhongjian said to Li Jing, "They have discovered us, and the Protector has let those ships stay in a position that is faintly visible in sight, and the people on the shore can't distinguish between the reality and the fiction of these ships." There is deterrence, but isn't the protector afraid of them to break through? When the time comes, these paper tigers won't be able to scare people. ”

Li Jing turned around and asked the guards for another telescope, and looked at the battle arranged by Leng Feng.

When his telescope arrived in Zhang Zhongjian's hands, he never changed hands again. Li Jing knew that his brother was reluctant to use this far-sighted tool. The telescope has many wonderful uses, and for people at sea, it is close to the existence of an artifact.

Since it was useful, Li Jing simply gave it to Zhang Zhongjian. It's just that a little distressed about the price of the telescope.

At present, telescopes can only be made by one glass workshop under the umbrella of the Academy of Letters, and the price is ridiculously high. Although high-ranking generals will be equipped with binoculars when they go on an expedition, who wouldn't want to treasure one after knowing the magic of this thing?

The price of the telescope is outrageous, but considering that this is a workshop for scholars who have no means to make money, no one is willing to bargain, so they should do their part in teaching and educating people in the academy.

After seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly, Li Jing nodded, "Although these fishermen are good at sea, they are still insignificant compared to the large-scale rout of the military ships. However, I feel that the Protector Guild has cut off the enemy's idea of breaking out. It's just that I don't know what he's going to do. ”

After speaking, Li Jing arranged for someone to issue an order to prepare.

Although he agreed with Leng Feng that the loud noise was the signal, Li Jing was not a "rule-abiding" person, and if the loud noise could not appear in time and the enemy made some action, he would not mind attacking in advance.

Also thinking the same thing is Zhang Liang, who has already prepared his ships to attack.

Everyone is waiting for Leng Feng's signal, and what is Leng Feng doing?

in the spout

The canvas-covered thing on the Chengtai had been revealed, and it was a swarthy cannon.

The artillery had already been disliked by Zhang Zhongqing, but when the ironclad ship manufacturing plan was proposed, he had to continue to study it.

A sea ship can carry an eight-ox crossbow, but a ground-level thunderbolt or something, it is a bit dangerous to launch it with a trebuchet. Because of the distance, the trebuchet cannot hit the enemy ship 100%, and if it gets close, it is in danger of being doomed.

Artillery can be replaced by powerful thunderbolts and trebuchets on land, but at sea, trebuchets cannot accurately strike ships at a distance.

How big is the ship compared to the city?

And the use of close quarters, needless to say, is also the same end of the behavior.

Therefore, the combination of artillery and ironclad ships is a perfect match.

The artillery made by Zhang Zhongqing has an amazing recoil that ordinary wooden ships simply cannot afford it.

So it is the Chengtai that carries it.
