In this naval battle, in fact, the advantage of the Datang Navy is quite large, not to mention the maneuverability, the nine capital ships are specially built for ocean-going naval battles, and the soft sails of the three masts have brought great power to these ships, and the hull is generally slender, and the speed is even faster.

There are also the total tonnage of ships, the nine warships in the Datang Navy, the smallest is a frigate of more than 350 tons, the largest is a cruiser of 550 tons, just these nine capital ships, the total tonnage has reached 3,800 tons, and there are more than 20 armed merchant ships of more than 200 tons or even more than 300 tons.

The total tonnage of the Datang mobile fleet participating in the war is about 10,000 tons.

As for the Ming army sailors, although the number of ships is more, their ships are generally small, the largest is only more than 300 tons, the main warships are all ships of one or two hundred tons, and more are ships of less than 100 tons, as for those small fireships, all of them add up to not much, and the tonnage of more than 100 Ming army sailors adds up, and it can only reach 8,000 tons.

And in terms of firepower, the disadvantage of the Ming army is even greater!

The nine warships of the Tang Navy, plus more than 20 armed merchant ships, have more than 350 cannons and howitzers of various calibers with long barrels.

However, on the side of the Ming army, the total number of large-caliber guns against ships will not exceed 30, and most of them are anti-personnel shotguns such as Franc machines and bowl guns, while on the side of the Datang Navy, the two-pound and three-pound shotguns of the same level are not included in the statistical list of naval guns.

Even compared with these shotguns, in fact, the Datang Navy also has an advantage, after all, those large-caliber and heavy cannons can be loaded with so many, and those light shotguns can be deployed in large quantities.

In terms of protection, needless to say, the main warships of the Datang Navy are made of the finest wood, and they are extremely thick, and the ship design is also specially designed for engagement, so the protection ability is quite outstanding.

And the warship protection capability of the Ming Army's naval division is just the level of armed merchant ships!

So don't look at the small number of warships in the Datang Navy, but whether it is in terms of mobility, firepower, protection, or total tonnage, in fact, the mobile fleet has an advantage, and it is a great advantage.

If there is no such obvious advantage, the Datang Navy will not be able to attack Nanao Island with its main force.

The next morning, Vice Admiral Ouyang Gui also met Commodore Qi Wenhuan, the commander of the First Mixed Regiment who had arrived in a hurry.

Then a military meeting of the army and navy plus the Guards, covering the three armed forces of the Tang Dynasty, began, because the three parties were not under their control, and the three parties did not have a primary or secondary division, in order to avoid causing conflicts between the three armies, thus affecting the offensive of the three armies on Nanao Island.

Ouyang Gui also specially instructed the officers and men of the navy below to give enough respect to the representatives of the army and the guards to embody the spirit of the navy's mastership.

In the end, even the layout in the conference room is not a traditional rectangular table, but a large round table specially arranged, and the three seats are not distinguished from each other.

Ouyang Gui took four admirals, that is, the commanders of the four detachments, to participate, wearing navy navy blue officer uniforms.

On the army side, Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan of the First Mixed Regiment took the chief of staff and two infantry battalions who participated in the battle, wearing dark blue officer uniforms.

Although there are few people in the Guards, they are not inferior in the slightest, and the leaders are Brigadier General Chen Qutong, deputy chief of staff of the Guards, Lieutenant Colonel Jin Chongshan, commander of the Third Infantry Battalion of the Guards, and two major staff officers.

The establishment of the Guards, as well as the ranks and uniforms, are different from those of the army and navy, and the commander of an infantry battalion is a lieutenant colonel.

There were four people in all three parties, a total of twelve people sitting around this big round table!

Although the military branches are different, but the person with the highest military rank is still Ouyang Gui, so naturally he is to preside over this meeting, he first said simply, the navy has cleared the resistance of the Ming army sailors, although there are still dozens of Ming navy ships fled back to the port, but he said that the main fleet of the navy will directly block this port after the battle begins, and will definitely not let these Ming army sailors rush out to sabotage the landing.

However, how to conduct a battle on land after landing and annihilate the tens of thousands of Ming troops on the island is obviously not the strong point of the navy, and the authority in this regard is naturally Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan, the commander of the First Mixed Regiment of the Army.

Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan gave a detailed description of the battle plan he had prepared, and Ouyang Gui naturally couldn't distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, but Brigadier General Chen Qutong of the Guards on the side of the Guards expressed his approval.

Therefore, the navy naturally has no opinion.

In the end, it was decided that, according to the original plan, the blockade task would continue to be carried out by the navy, and at the same time, the armed merchant ships under the command of the navy would be close to the landing site to support the landing force, and after going ashore in the future, they would also directly remove the small and medium-caliber naval guns from the navy's warships and form a temporary naval artillery battalion to land and participate in the battle.

The commander of the ground battle was Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan himself, Chen Qutong, deputy chief of staff of the Guards, was the deputy commander, and the artillery commander was in charge of the navy.

In short, all three parties must participate, and each one will not fall short!

After the three parties finished discussing, they were ready to go, and Ouyang Gui personally led eight capital ships and ten armed merchant ships, directly blocked the port of the Ming Army Navy Division on Nanao Island, at the beginning, there were still ships in the Ming Army Navy Division trying to rush out, most of them were fireboats, and there were also ships trying to escape from the chaos, but they were all bombarded back by hundreds of artillery pieces of the fleet commanded by Ouyang Gui!

At this time, the Ming army's sailors have learned to be obedient and no longer rush out, but they have also prepared a large number of fireships for backup, if Ouyang Gui dares to lead the fleet to rush into the port, these fireships will be of great use.

Ouyang Gui, who was in sight of victory, naturally wouldn't take any more indifferent risks, so he didn't enter the port and stayed in the open sea!

At the same time, the landing fleet composed of more than a dozen armed merchant ships and dozens of small and medium-sized boats of various kinds of chaos was also close to the other side of Nanao Island, because there was no interference from the Ming army's naval divisions, so the landing operation was extremely smooth.

After learning that the puppet Tang thief army had landed, Qin Zhifu's face instantly turned extremely pale!

"My lord, what are we going to do now? Do you want to join General Chen and them to resist the attack of the puppet Tang thief army? A thousand households beside him said with a worried face: "The puppet Tang thief army that landed is only 4,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of troops on our island, so there may not be no chance of winning a fight!" ”

But as soon as this person's words were finished, he was slapped by Qin Zhifu!

"it, Lord Zhang has suffered a fiasco defeat in hundreds of thousands of troops in Huguang and Jiangxi, it can be seen that these pseudo-Tang thieves are tough, it is rumored that everyone in the Tang Dynasty can fight against ten, we have to fight against these four thousand Tang thieves, don't think about it without thirty or forty thousand people!" When Qin Zhifu said this, his face was gloomy.

Qianhu on the side also seemed to think of something, and then reacted and said with fear: "Yes, although the sailors of the pseudo-Tang thief army are sharp, but their army is even more powerful, some time ago, I heard that Yu Dayou's tens of thousands of thieves were pressed and beaten by the pseudo-Tang thief army of thousands of people!" ”

"This Yu Dayou's thief army is a new army with all guns, and our island is full of old guards, how can this be beaten!" When Qin Zhifu said this, the sorrow on his face became even stronger.

"So, my lord, what should we do? Why don't you ......" When Qianhu said this, he glanced at Qin Zhifu's expression, and then said boldly: "Or will we descend?" ”

Unexpectedly, he suddenly received a big slap from Qin Zhifu again, and directly beat his whole person in a circle, and after being beaten, the thousand households suddenly knelt on the ground: "My lord, spare your life, the small one didn't mean to fall!" ”

"It's just a casual remark, my lord spared his life!"

Qin Zhifu glanced at him, then took a deep breath and said: "Surrender, that's impossible, you don't see that there are not a few Tang thieves who surrender to the official army, but there are a few who have fallen well, I am the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, if it is defeated and surrendered, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the fate of being placed under house arrest, so this surrender is impossible!" ”

"No surrender? Then fight to the death, adults, small ones are willing to be forwards! The thousand households suddenly shouted loudly.

However, Qin Zhifu showed a cold smile at this time and said: "Since they are unkind and have swept away the official face, then don't blame the official for being a thief!" ”

Hearing the thief this time, the thousand households felt that their heads were not enough, and they just said that they would not surrender, how could they become a thief in one sentence!

Seeing the confused expressions of the thousands of households under his hands, Qin Zhifu said: "Idiot, it is definitely not possible to surrender directly, but anyway, if you are in front of the battle, even if you cooperate with the Tang Dynasty officials and soldiers to kill a wave of those pseudo-Ming thieves, it will be different, when the time comes, even if you can't continue to be in power, the glory and wealth of the first generation should still be guaranteed!" ”

Hearing this, the thousand households finally came to their senses!

"Your Excellency is wise, in this way, not only can we avoid this catastrophe, but we can also take the opportunity to take the carriage of Datang, and the glory and wealth in the future are just around the corner!" Those thousands of households seem to have changed after seeing themselves and become the Tang generals admired by everyone!

At this time, Qin Zhifu seemed to be incarnated as a real commander-in-chief, and said in high spirits: "You immediately run for this official, be sure to see the principal of the Tang Army, and tell the official what he means anyway, and the official will immediately gather soldiers and horses to prepare to seize the city, and the official will sacrifice the city anyway!" ”
