There was a strong wind in the sky, blowing the steel charcoal in the brazier extremely red, and from time to time there was a crackling and popping sound.

Lin Xiaowu and Goudan'er carefully leaned against the wall of the rattan basket, and they didn't dare to come out, quietly looking at the back of the new aunt of the six families in a brocade robe in front of them, their eyes were full of reverence and worry - reverence was because such a big figure as the new aunt actually risked his life and climbed to such a high place in order to observe; The worry is that the hot air balloon will be blown away by the wind again.

Chu Fan's mood at the moment was much more worried than the two little guys behind him, and behind the clairvoyant mirror, his thick brows were almost wrinkled together.

In order to grasp the most timely situation, he climbed into the hot air balloon to watch the battle when the first detachment departed, and he could clearly see the stalemate between the two detachments from the initial surprise attack.

In just over an hour, Chu Fan, a former firefighter, learned too much about the experience of naval warfare at once.

First of all, the importance of formation - at first the Dutch fleet suffered heavy losses because of the wrong formation, but now the remaining two Dutch warships, because of the proper choice of formation, were able to outnumber the enemy, and under the siege of nine warships, not only did not fall behind, but also seemed to be quite comfortable.

The second is that the difference in command level can indeed determine the life and death of a fleet. I have to say that Ge Dijiao, who has always been petty in commanding the fleet, is still a big step behind Yang Dijiao, who grew up running to the sea with the Yang family's fleet since he was a child -- Yang Dijiao did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in exchange for the initiative on the battlefield when he encountered an emergency situation on the battlefield, which is very different from the benevolence of Ge Biu's woman, who cannot adhere to the strategy of "it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers."

What made Chu Fan shake his head even more was that perhaps it was because Ge Bi relied too much on the technical advantages of the Fuliao Army, and he should have shown bravery. However, he was still obsessed with the tactic of attacking the bow and stern of the ship - when he rushed over to rescue the Yinyan and encountered the interception of the other side, he should uphold the principle of "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road" and crush the other party in one fell swoop, so that the two detachments would not face such a stalemate and such a tangled situation.

It's no wonder that the modified warships have always shown a crushing advantage over these hard sailing ships in the East China Sea. Not only Ge Bi, but even Chu Fan didn't think about jumping to the gang to fight; When they encountered the Dutch Galen ship, whose technical level was not much worse than that of the Fuliao Army's naval division, the two sides competed with the captain's command level and the soldier's will to fight, and this shortcoming of the Fuliao Army's naval division was exposed.

Seeing that more and more sails were hanging on the Dutch flagship, Chu Fan slowly lowered the clairvoyant mirror, raised his head and took a deep breath.

Dutch devils, let's fight!

And let me see how the Chinese broke the cauldron and sunk the boat!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

To the southeast of the battlefield, 10 miles away.

Six warships of various sizes floated on the water, rising and falling with the waves.

Including the Galen ship of the Shimazu family. All of the ship's mainsails were lowered, leaving only the auxiliary sails that helped the boat maintain its current position.

And the last ship, now with full sails, galloping from the direction of the battlefield - it was sent by Shimazu Hisao to reconnoitre, and has now returned.

In the lookout pavilion of the No. 2 lucky boat, Chen Xinji looked at the Haicang boat that was getting closer and closer, and his face was cloudy.

The rumbling sound of cannons more than half an hour ago made Chen Xinji inexplicably excited -- he knew that the Dutch had caught big fish again, and generally only the Dutch would fire their cannons to drive them away when they encountered a relatively large fleet.

Chen Jinji, who was immersed in the pleasure of plundering, ordered his subordinates to prepare for interception. While fantasizing about how much loot he could get this time.

But he waited left and right, not only did he not wait for the shadow of the "fish". On the contrary, the artillery fire in the northwest direction was heard more and more intensively.

This made Chen Xinji stunned - who was the saint who came from and dared to fight with such a powerful Dutch fleet?!

But soon he knew who his opponent was, because he had been looking northwest and spotted several winged warships turning in his clairvoyant mirror!

This made Chen Xinji happy and surprised, happy that the six families who abandoned themselves actually dared to provoke the Dutch fleet, which was clearly looking for death; Amazingly, the boat of the six families was similar to their own. Is it because you have the right wings to compete with the Galen ship?

According to Chen Xinji's original intention, he wanted to rush over with these seven ships and join the encirclement and suppression of the six families, but Shimazu Hisao quit.

This kid was beaten off by Chu Fan last time, and now he still has palpitations when he talks about the strange ship with wings. Then dare to rush through?

If it weren't for the repeated insistence of the people sent by Chen Xinji, this guy would have wanted to run away with his three ships at that time, even if he was persuaded to do so, this guy still sent his next Haicang ship to reconnoiter first.

Now that the Haicang ship has been reconnoitred, Chen Xinji can't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart: what is the situation on the battlefield? Will Hisao Shimazu be scared to run faster?

If this coward really turns around and runs, he will go up and see even if he only has three ships!

Thinking of this, Chen Xinji pursed his lips and slammed his fist on the railing - the longer the time, the deeper his resentment towards the Six Masters became.

But fortunately, Shimazu Hisao didn't let Chen Zhenji wait long, so he came over on a sampan, and as soon as he came up, he poured out the situation that the battlefield was now glued together, and looked at Chen Xinji with a blank face after speaking; After all, this guy is still a spoiled kid, and when it comes to this kind of decision, his greedy, incompetent, and cowardly nature is fully revealed-he wants to reap the benefits and is full of deep fear of the Fuliao army sailors, so he came to Chen Xinji in a dilemma.

"Brother Jiuxiong, at this time the battle situation is a good time for us to show our talents!" Chen Zhenji endured the contempt in his heart and tried his best to persuade Shimazu Hisao, "The Dutch were just stunned at first, but now that they have come to their senses, the six families have nothing to do with them; But the Dutch suffered a loss because of the lack of ships, and they couldn't surround the six families, so they could only take a defensive position...... We are now joining the war group, which just makes up for the disadvantage of the Dutch, as long as we help the Dutch block the way of the six families, we can let the Dutch clean them up one by one...... In terms of credit after the war, we have made a great achievement! …… The Dutch could no longer decide on the distribution of the spoils...... Brother Jiuxiong, this is a God-given opportunity, don't miss it! ”

He lured with the booty, and sure enough, Shimazu Hisao's eyes lit up, and even the command was given to Chen Xinji, and he didn't go back to the Galen ship, so he gave orders to the ships on the No. 2 Fu ship.

Amid the sound of the simmering conch, seven ships hung up their full sails one after another and swooped towards the battlefield ten miles away! (To be continued.) )
