Chapter 446: No choice at all
On this day, the wind and waves at sea are relatively light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first test of the East China Sea Fleet's first sea exercise officially began.
The fleet left the harbor of the naval base and rode the waves at sea in the shape of an arrow.
The Dingyuan is in front, and Yang Wei and SF are on both sides of it.
The four ships of Yuantong, Shentong, Zhongtong and Huitong are at the back door of Yang Wei and SF, and then there are sand ships and Zheng He's treasure ships.
The main task of this naval exercise is to familiarize themselves with the performance and combat methods of these ironclad ships, and the goal of the mission is to sail to a place called Biluo Island in the East China Sea, and the fleet will circle the island for a week, and fire a few shots at the island before returning to the naval base, so that the exercise mission will be considered a success.
After all, they are new to ironclad ships, and the requirements for them cannot be too high as in later generations, step by step.
The journey of the entire fleet from the port to the sea area of Biluo Island went smoothly.
On the Dingyuan, the command of the Dingyuan was handed over to Deng Shichang.
On the deck, a table was set up, a little side dish.
Li Chu invited Wang Delin to have a drink here.
Wine, three rounds.
And Biluo Island is almost here.
At this time, the sailor in charge of observation suddenly came to report that there were five sand ships in the fleet.
"Don't bother, keep going, and rush to Biluo Island."
After a while, the observing sailors came to report again, and the fleet of the Japanese came close.
On the Dingyuan, the flag bearer kept waving the flags of the Japanese fleet that leaned forward, but these flags were all in the late Qing Dynasty, and now in the Northern Song Dynasty, these Japanese ships did not understand their meaning at all, so Wang Delin stood up and leaned over to take a look.
Li Chu handed a telescope to Wang Delin.
At this look, Wang Delin's face immediately changed, and Wang Delin, who had been fighting against the Japanese for many years, recognized the true identity of these Japanese fleets at a glance, and immediately exclaimed: "It's not good, these people are Japanese invaders." ”
Woko?
Li Chu didn't know that it was okay, but when he heard that it was the Japanese bandits, he immediately ordered that the task of this exercise be revised, and that there was no need to go around Biluo Island, and the goal of this mission was changed to sink these Japanese ships and then return to the sea.
When it became clear that it was the enemy approaching, the ships immediately mobilized, and the Krupp 305mm breech gun on the Dingyuan was aimed at a Japanese ship that was hitting the front.
At this time, there were no telescopes in ancient times, and they relied entirely on a pair of eyes on the sea, but people's vision was limited after all, and when these Japanese robbers leaned over and could see clearly with the naked eye what the ships in front of them looked like, they immediately became frightened.
The group of would-be robbers thought they had encountered some merchant ships and were about to come over and plunder, but they saw huge monsters without sails spitting black smoke into the sky, and the number of monsters was far beyond their expectations.
Run!
This is their first thought, and robbery depends on the object.
Want to run?
Before the ships could turn their heads, the main guns on the Dingyuan had already been fired.
Deng Shichang personally served as the commander of the gunner, and in order to give these soldiers who were just familiar with the main guns full confidence, Deng Shichang even ordered the cannon to be fired when these Japanese ships were approaching in front of him.
When the second gun, the third gun started.
There is no more after.
These Japanese ships are all wooden sand boats, and they have no ability to resist under the 305 mm breech guns, and even these Japanese boats on board don't know what a cannon is, so that when the cannonball hits them, they can't even jump into the sea at the most basic level, and they just watch the ship being hit by the cannonball and explode and kill all the people in the boat.
The distance, very close.
The accuracy of this cannon is that it hits.
In a few moments, there was nothing left of these would-be robbers who were still on the ship.
With the destruction of these Japanese ships, the mission of this exercise was successfully completed, and the fleet began to turn around and return to Tongzhou.
Li Chu and Wang Delin also sat down again.
Li Chu asked Wang Delin: "How about the control of the adults to view my fleet?" ”
Wang Delin: "......"
Faced with Li Chu's question, Wang Delin's heart was very complicated.
As the envoy of Tongzhou, he is also very familiar with this ship, if the effect of these tests on the port shocked him before, then now it is a real battle, such a distance can directly smash the enemy's warship, this at sea, who else can face this Qilin Army East China Sea Fleet as an enemy?
'M afraid......
"Invincible at sea." Wang Delin said these four words.
Invincible at sea!
Isn't it invincible?
That's it.
The ships on the sea are the most Song ships, but no matter how the Song ships are built, they are all wooden, and now you have an ironclad ship, which is not counted, and there is a cannon that can destroy local ships several miles away, which is placed on the sea, how do you let others fight with you, how can they beat you? Isn't it invincible?
Wang Delin glanced at Li Chu.
"Invincible at sea, after all, it is only at sea." Li Chu sighed lightly, but Wang Delin was a little puzzled by these words, so he only heard Li Chu continue: "Don't hide it, my lord, my Qilin Army appeared in Jiangnan this time, not to get the secret decree of the official family, but to see the people in Jiangnan live a hot life, and send troops here privately." ”
Wang Delin: "......"
Li Chu: "I deceived Lord Zhizhi. ”
Wang Delin: "......"
"You!"
Li Chu threw out another fierce message: "Now that the imperial court has known that my Qilin Army has sent troops to Jiangnan privately, I am afraid that it will not take a few days for the imperial court to take me down to Jiangnan." ”
The corners of Wang Delin's mouth twitched.
At this moment, if he still doesn't understand the meaning of Li Chu's words, then there is a ghost!
If you know that your Qilin Army is coming here without permission, the ghost will help you, and bring 3,000 people to help you attack Fang La.
Now what?
What can we do now?
Wang Delin stood up and looked at the vast sea, he was completely pitted by Li Chu this time, and the pit was very miserable. Li Chuda didn't have to tell him these things, but at this time, at this time, when he told himself about this matter, wasn't this obviously forcing himself to make a choice?
Choose your sister.
Take me to the sea, surrounded by your people.
Let me know the secret of your unicorn navy's invincibility.
He also sank a few Japanese ships in front of me, and it turned out that all of this was deliberately tricked into me to make a choice.
Now, do you still have a choice?
It's a no-brainer.
Wang Delin hates this Li Chu to death, and now if he doesn't give Li Chu an explanation, he is afraid that he will probably stay in this sea area forever, knowing so many secrets of the Qilin Army, if he doesn't go along with them, this Qilin Army will let him go? (To be continued.) )
