When the Palci fleet suddenly appeared above sea level, there was a panic in the port of Guimado. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Li Tianhao skillfully used the wind to change the course and rushed to the port of Jimado as fast as possible, and its speed even exceeded that of all the spies, so the port of Jimado was not prepared at all.

Even ordinary people can see the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, so almost without exception, the people in Hong Kong chose to pack their bags and flee. The situation of the soldiers was even worse than that of the common people: the generals quarreled into a pot of porridge, and the guards of the port wanted to let the fleet out of the port to meet the battle, so as to form a flanking posture with the port garrison; The general of the fleet refuted that this was nonsense, that the force of the horns would make the fleet unable to maneuver, and that a fleet that was completely unable to maneuver would be smashed into ashes by a huge enemy ship. Only by sticking to the port can there be a glimmer of life.

Li Tianhao didn't give them any time to take measures at all, and at the moment when they were arguing, Li Tianhao's fleet was already approaching, so the plan to go out of the port to meet the enemy was naturally scrapped, so if he left the port again at this time, it would be like sending his own ships to the other party's sharp teeth one by one and tearing them apart.

The offensive and defensive battle of the port of Guimado was thus fought in an extremely unfavorable situation for the Arubanian side. After quickly clearing out the outlying strongholds, Li Tianhao began a tentative attack on the sea walls of the port of Guimado. He used five small warships to attack the walls of the port of Guimado, and for the defense of the port of Guimado, the firepower of the small warships could not hurt its skin at all, and even if it sent people to land, it would be too little. Li Tianhao's purpose was only to find out the firepower of the Arubanian army, and when he saw all this, he immediately withdrew the small warships, and instead pushed the seven outer steamers except the flagship of the Tianlong in a row, and they used the catapults and large ballistae equipped on the ships to launch a series of attacks on the port of Guimado beyond the range of the Arubanian bow and arrow.

Flying stones and arrows from large ballistas continued to erode the earth-and-stone walls of the port of Guimado. This attack would have been much less effective if the walls of the port of Guimado had been made entirely of stone, but unfortunately the walls were made of stone and the upper floors were a mixture of earth and stone. The men who built the walls had no idea that they could equip ships with large catapults and ballistas, since a giant ship like an outer ship had never been seen in the surrounding seas before. After the Battle of Kinting, the Arubanian Navy, which had seen the Palci Giant Ship, could not even renovate the city walls. Seeing the walls peeling off and cracking little by little, the will of the people in the port of Guimado to fight was gradually lost like this wall. Everyone knows that once the outer city wall is captured, then the fleet in the port will not be able to stop the enemy's advance at all, and the city wall in the port will not last long, and the end of this port is coming.

Patura stood beside Li Tianhao and watched this scene quietly. She sternly rejected the Queen's advice and insisted on watching the battle, but her mother, Alfrit, returned to her cabin early to rest because the battle was too ordinary. Patura stayed, she carefully watched her father constantly give orders, adjusting all aspects of the entire fleet, which was completely out of tune with the mediocrity on the battlefield, and couldn't help but ask: "Father, our ships are safe, and the enemy can't hit us at all, why are you still so busy?" ”

Li Tianhao glanced at her sideways, and replied with a smile: "My Royal Highness the Princess, fighting is not as easy as it seems. In order to achieve victory, you must be more effective at killing and injuring your enemies, and at the same time more effective at the same time protecting yourself. As a commander, you must always be aware of every aspect of the battlefield. On the surface, we had the upper hand, but it was largely because the people in the harbor were blinded by our surprise attack, and their fear overwhelmed reason, preventing them from making the right judgment. However, if one of the commanders of them can calmly analyze the situation, he will understand that it is very risky for our army to protrude from the protection of small ships by protruding huge ships in the front. It is true that the outer ship looks indestructible, but in fact, even the strongest weapon has its weakness, and once the enemy discovers its weakness, then they will not hesitate to attack. At this time, our army needs to react as quickly as possible to prevent the other side's attempt from succeeding. You see, the wind direction and undercurrents here are changing, and if we don't make corresponding adjustments in time, then how can our army respond in time? ”

Patura rolled her blue eyes and thought for a moment, "So father, you have already thought of ways to deal with it before the enemy army is likely to take action?" ”

Li Tianhao touched her head and said, "Yes, if you can't expect the enemy to go first, then you have to be led by the enemy." ”

Patula suddenly raised her head and asked, "Father, why does Mother never care about these things and entrust them all to you?" ”

Li Tianhao was asked by his daughter, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "As a king, you don't need to do everything by yourself, as long as you know how to entrust things to the most appropriate person to do." ”

Patula smiled evilly, "You didn't tell the truth, and another reason is because Mother trusts you, so she is so relieved to leave it to you." ”

"Ghost girl, you're right." Li Tianhao smiled helplessly.

"But," said Patula with a sudden frown, "Mother said that you are a genius of command, and if I become queen in the future, and the people I trust are not talented enough, then how shall I govern this country?" In that case, my territory will be eaten by the hostile little by little, just like the port of Guimado today. ”

Li Tianhao was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he really didn't expect that Patura would think of such a long-term thing at such a young age. Indeed, as the future queen of Palci and the only royal heir, no matter how hard she is trained to become an excellent monarch, even an excellent warrior and general, it is impossible for her to be on the front line every time to command the battle, because one mistake may make the Palchi royal family extinct. Therefore, Patura's concern is not unreasonable, and the trust in a person has nothing to do with the strength of the person's ability, and there have been countless people in history who have been trusted by kings who have become the gravediggers of kings. What does the future hold for Palci? No one can say anything about this except the mysterious old witch Nisinis, but it can be prevented.

Thinking of this, Li Tianhao smiled at Patura and said: "You don't have to worry about this, the policy that Dad is implementing now includes the reform of the Palchi talent selection system, and cultivating talents is not a simple matter, and this reform will not see results in ten or twenty years." Therefore, the actual beneficiary of this reform should be you, and by that time, you should have a lot of available talent around you. As for how to make them loyal to you, you also have enough trust in them, and that's what you're going to learn later. ”

Patula nodded, "And before that?" ”

Li Tianhao replied with a smile: "Before that, I can only work harder and help you destroy all the enemies as much as possible, so that you can feel more at ease?" (To be continued.) )
