But what?

Although the Yizhou fleet under Lu Ren's command will show its face and emerge in the coastal areas of Jiangdong every once in a while, the size of the fleet is not large, and it is generally only a formation of 20 or 30 ships. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And they didn't get close, just threw a stone and shot a crossbow arrow from a distance of more than 100 meters, as soon as the Jiangdong naval fleet made any moves, these Yizhou ships immediately turned back to the flashing people.

You say that where can the ships of Jiangdong catch up with the multi-sail clippers of Yizhou on the sea? Therefore, almost every time the ships in Jiangdong have just sailed out, the ship formation in Yizhou has already run out a few nautical miles away. Then as soon as the ships from Jiangdong returned, the ships from Yizhou ran back again, and then I will bring you stones and crossbow arrows.

After making such a fuss, the Jiangdong side naturally saw that the Yizhou side was simply teasing them, but no one dared to take it lightly. If you ignore the ships in Yizhou, but suddenly the ships in Yizhou seize a certain opportunity to rush over and put a fire on you or something, who can stand this Nima? Who can afford to be careless?

After all, the Jiangdong Sailor was known as unparalleled in the world at that time, but now he is being teased like this...... As a result, this is like a cat-and-mouse game, and all the Jiangdong sailors along the coast are full of birds.

However, the only thing that reassures them is that the fleet of Yizhou is indeed strictly abiding by the document issued by Lu Ren before, and it is just playing these tricks on the military facilities along the coast of Jiangdong, but it has never launched any improper actions against the coastal villages, towns and counties, and there has even been an accident with a fishing boat in Jiangdong, but it was rescued by the Yizhou ship, and then a small boat and some property were sent to the fishermen home.

As a result, Yizhou's fleet was in many places along the coast, and it had a very good reputation among the people of Jiangdong, so that after a little time, there was still such a situation, that is, you fight your battle, and I will fight my fish. The stones and bolts on the other side flew in mid-air, and the nets on this side were scattered into the sea.

The funniest thing is that there is also such a thing, that is, some fishermen who do not hide from the Yizhou fleet are fishing here, and someone on the Yizhou ship at the other end will ask "do you have fresh fish" or "do you have anything with you", and then throw a hanging basket down on it, and there will be some things from Yizhou in it to exchange with the fishermen...... To put it mildly, this Nima looks like he is fighting?

Of course, this was actually done intentionally by Lu Ren. Again, Lu Ren didn't want to provoke the Jiangdong people to become enemies with him, so in the shouting at that time, in the published text, and then in the harassment of the Jiangdong coast, Lu Ren would emphasize that this was just a grudge between himself and Sun Quan, and had nothing to do with the Jiangdong people, and even used this way to maintain a fairly good communication with the Jiangdong people. On the other hand, Sun Quan knew about these things, and he definitely didn't dare to do anything to the people of Jiangdong who had contact with the Yizhou fleet. Lu Ren didn't dare to offend the anger of the people in Jiangdong, so how dare Sun Quan?

In addition, there is another reason why Lu Ren has not made any big moves for the time being, that is, Lu Ren wants to use this time to speed up the production and replenishment of ammunition. The previous bombardment of Quanzhou and the naval battle of ordinary scale, Lu Ren lost seventy or eighty percent of the family wealth he had saved before. And Lu Ren's own family knew his own affairs, and he knew very well that he couldn't fight the conventional water battle of that era with Sun Quan's ships, because he didn't have that force. If you want to truly form an effective sabotage and deterrence against Sun Quan, you still have to rely on the superiority of weapons to carry out long-range strikes.

Therefore, on the one hand, Lu Ren asked Shirley to hurry up the production and replenishment of ammunition, and on the other hand, he reorganized the existing fleet and harassed Sun Quan's coastal areas in a small-scale and multi-batch manner, so that Sun Quan's coastal forces could be exhausted, and then he could not do anything to Lu Ren, and Lu Ren would be able to win time for material replenishment.

――――――――――――――――――――

On the coastline at the junction of Wu County and Huiji, there are about 300 large and small warships of Jiangdong gathered here. This is the main warship force that Sun Quan is currently mobilizing to defend Yizhou, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people on the road, and the combat effectiveness on the water is extremely strong. As for the commander-in-chief of this army, it is still Lu Meng, who is guilty...... This is also Sun Quan's opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Lu Meng. Moreover, at present, only Lü Meng has combat experience with Yizhou, and it is most suitable for Lü Meng to guard against Yizhou.

Lü Meng had already suffered in the Battle of Quanzhou, so during this period of time, the army was extremely strict, and he did not dare to relax a little, and he also personally led the team to force Ganning's fleet back several times. However, Lu Meng knew very well that he seemed to have taken advantage of several times, but in fact, he didn't win a single battle, and the Yizhou side should be preparing for a large-scale offensive, and he must not be sloppy here, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. Especially the "demon thunder" that night, Lu Meng is a little frightened when he thinks about it now.

Finally, in the morning of this day, the alarm bell sounded in the water village, and then the herald reported that Lu Meng said that dozens of large warships were approaching the water village in the southeast sea. After hearing the news, Lu Meng sighed softly and said, "What should come is always coming...... The herald ordered the whole army to be on guard, and the Chinese army in Shuizhai sent out 30 ships, and 20 warships on the left and right wings to meet the enemy! ”

It didn't take long for Wu's seventy warships and ships to sail out of Shuizhai and take advantage of the favorable wind in the northwest to meet the Yizhou fleet sailing on the opposite sea.

In my heart, Lu Meng's order should be correct, but it was based on the theory of water warfare at that time. However, this is not the case with the warships on the Yizhou side, not to mention that the ships of the Ganning fleet are all the top and most sophisticated warships in Yizhou......

"Set sail on all ships! Approach while the enemy's sails are still on and engage in melee combat! ”

The Jiangdong Navy must have been the elite division on the water at that time, although it was beaten by more than a dozen rounds of stone-throwing attacks by the Ganning fleet at this time, it was full of ghosts and wolves, but the formation was not very chaotic. With Lu Meng's military order, the main sails of these seventy warships were immediately sailed to the top, and the anchors of each ship were also pulled up at the same time, and then these seventy warships were rapidly approaching Ganning's fleet.

To tell the truth, the Jiangdong Naval Division, as the top naval division in the world at that time, won the Battle of Chibi before, and they were all arrogant and arrogant, and once upon a time they were pressed and beaten like this and couldn't fight back? So now that Lu Meng's military order is given, they are all as energetic as clockwork, and they can't wait for their ships to rush under the other party's ship immediately, and then throw the hook to board the other party's ship, and fight face to face with the other party.

Due to the lack of long-range attack methods at that time, and the power was relatively limited, the tactics of water warfare at that time were mainly to suppress with bows and arrows in the medium range, and then engage in close-range hand-to-hand combat on the deck after the broadside. Now that Lu Meng's fleet had received such a blow at a distance of about 200 meters, it was indeed an effective tactic that could make the most of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses by rushing into the opponent's fleet at the fastest speed to engage in hand-to-hand combat, taking advantage of the opponent's sails before the sails were raised.

In Lu Meng's opinion, his own side has now dispatched seventy ships, and compared with the dozens of giant ships on the other side, the difference in crew should not be large. And if you are approaching the opponent and making the opponent's long-range attack capability unable to exert it, your own water village can also send a follow-up ship to provide strong support.

The idea is not wrong, but Lu Meng's mistake is a mistake He didn't know that the tactical method of Gan Ning's ships was beyond the scope of water warfare at that time, after all, Lu Meng fought a land battle that time, and the water battle was not played at all. In addition, there is actually a Dong attack, and some people have seen it when Sun Quan was bombarded. But...... Dong Xian's serious injuries have not healed, and the rest of the people were bombarded, and they didn't go into battle at all. So it can only be fought by Lu Meng. And Lu Meng's words, don't say it.

For now, two hundred meters is not a long distance...... If two hundred meters were on land, an ordinary person could run faster, about thirty to fifty seconds, but this was not the case at all for ships on the water at that time.

Sun Wu's ship had to set sail and raise anchor, and even if the people between the various posts were in place, it would take about two minutes to complete the distance of 200 meters. Relatively speaking, this is already very fast, if they encounter other sailors, the Jiangdong Navy can directly approach the other party, but they are now running into the Yizhou fleet led by Gan Ning.

On the command platform, Gan Ning saw Wu Jun's sailman starting sail with a telescope, and immediately ordered the ship that had been lined up to start turning around, changing the whole ship to meet the enemy on the right rear sideboard, but the sail still did not rise. Since the power of ships at that time was wind and oar, under the premise that the sails were not raised, the ship had to rely on the cooperation of the wooden oar and rudder on one side to turn around, and the speed of turning around would be slower for large ships.

The other most important point is that although these large warships of Ganning have sails, they do not have wooden oars! Therefore, Lu Meng saw from a distance that Gan Ning's fleet began to turn around slowly, but when the sails were still not raised, he didn't pay much attention to it. Because according to the way of sailing at that time, the speed of Gan Ning's large ships was relatively slow, and according to the current distance, if Gan Ning's fleet had turned around and raised its sails, the seventy ships under Lu Meng's command would have already joined Gan Ning's ships.

It's a pity that Lu Meng didn't know that these large ships of Ganning were dual-powered ships of the steam engine and propeller type, and in many cases they didn't need to raise their sails at all. And Gan Ning was originally a big water thief, and he had been rampant in the northern seas for many years before, and his experience in sea combat was far greater than that of Lu Meng.

At this moment, Gan Ning swept his eyes and calculated the starting distance of the propeller, and immediately ordered the steam engine power of the whole ship to start at full strength, so when Lu Meng's ship was still more than 20 meters away from Gan Ning's ship, and Wu Jun was ready to board the ship, he was shocked to find that the other party's ship was moving forward rapidly without raising its sails and rowing without wooden oars, and soon pulled the distance between the two sides to about 70 meters. And such a distance...... Hehe, you didn't negotiate it! (To be continued.) )
