Chapter 463: Military Ship Water
"Pang Dutong, is this the time that Li Sima told you?"
A Jiangzhou guard dressed in a dark water robe with a pointed beak and a somewhat treacherous appearance stepped forward, saluted Pang Yu, and said.
"What, you're in a hurry?"
Pang Yu glanced up at the sky and said, "Li Sima didn't say the specific time, but it's better to arrive early than late, right?" ”
"But, what qualifications does General Li have to inspect our defense?"
The soldier's brows were about to twist into the Sichuan character, and he said with some anger:
"In terms of position alone, his position as General Shenwuwei is only comparable to yours, and Lord Assassin Shi will overpower him; Now he is inexplicably going to inspect the defense of our Jiangzhou Guard's naval army, is he really a first-class member who shouts five and six? ”
"Xia Feng, you said that if you send us to Xue Yantuo's hinterland, can you make a big difference?"
Pang Yu did not answer the words of the Jiangzhou guard, but asked a rhetorical question.
The Jiangzhou guard named Xia Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said:
"Are you kidding? As far as the 5,000 or so people of Jiangzhou Wei are concerned, it is said that it will not be possible to go to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, and even if they go, they will not do anything big, and eighty percent of them will have to lose their lives there! ”
"This kid is really telling the truth!"
The corners of Pang Yu's mouth grinned unnaturally, and then he said:
"See, we can't, but they can. Although they have half more people than us, they still defeated Xue Yantuo, and also slaughtered nearly half of the Xue Yantuo people, just by virtue of this, this Li Dade is qualified to inspect the defense of our navy! ”
"Isn't it a bit far-fetched to just talk about military merit?" Summer Wind Road.
"Is it far-fetched?" Pang Yu glanced at Xia Feng and said, "Believe it or not, just the hundred Shenwu guards who arrived yesterday are enough to sweep our entire Jiangzhou Guard?" ”
"Ah...... It's not that exaggerated, is it? ”
Xia Feng was visibly frightened. He said: "No matter how powerful Shenwuwei is, after all, he is a human being, not a metal and iron weapon, as long as we overwhelm them in numbers, we can pile them to death, right?" ”
Pang Yu didn't speak this time, just frowned and shook his head.
……
Just when Pang Yu and the others were talking about Li Yuanba and others on the military ship, Li Yuanba had already taken Su Dingfang, Li Ke and a group of about 100 soldiers of the Shenwu Guard, dressed in black patrol uniforms, and hurried to Fengling Ferry.
"Lord Wang, yesterday I heard General Su say how the divine ship and the navy are doing. I really don't believe it, I have to see it today. ”
Cheng Chubi rode his beloved horse, grinning, and seemed to be a little disdainful.
Li Yuanba smiled and said, "Since Dingfang said so, then there must be something extraordinary!" After all, we northerners have always fought the world on horseback, while the southerners rely on the advantages of boats and boats, and if they don't even have a navy. The Jiangzhou Mansion is indeed furnished! ”
"Hahaha, whether our Shenwuwei is swimming in water or riding a horse in land warfare, which one is not proficient in both? If they fight us, I am afraid they will not be able to please us! ”
Cheng Chubi laughed. "In the cold winter, while the Weishui has not yet frozen, we have been practicing hard in the Weishui for more than half a month! There is the tune of the prince. Teach, top the Jiangzhou guards have been practicing for several years! ”
The corners of Li Yuanba's mouth twitched. Squinted at Cheng Chubi and said: "You kid don't have to shoot the king's ass, don't call you to play when the time comes, you can make soft-footed shrimp." ”
A group of people. After walking forward for about half a pillar of incense, I saw from a distance that the Fengling Ferry was full of people standing shoulder to shoulder, and the noisy scene was extraordinary.
In the distance, in the center of the river, there is a row of big boats directly berthed, and the big ships are connected from end to end, forming a 'one' character, like a city wall built on the Han River, and the momentum is extraordinary.
"Yo, that's good!" Cheng Chubi whistled and said.
"It's spectacular."
Li Yuanba blinked his eyes and said:
"Such a huge military ship should have appeared on the ocean, but it didn't come to be seen on the Han River. This is also the land of rich Jiangzhou, even if you want to build one in other places, it will be enough to paralyze the finances of a state! ”
"Indeed!" Wang Jun, who was following closely behind Li Yuanba, also nodded, and he said: "Even if you put it in the five surnames and seven wangs, if you want to build such a big ship, it will take some thought!" ”
Li Yuanba turned his head and glanced at Li Ke and them, and said, "Have you ever seen such a huge ship?" ”
"Uncle Four Emperors, when my father led the army down to the south of the Yangtze River, we followed all the way! Such a large military ship is rare, but we have ridden it before! ”
Li Ke said very ostentatiously.
"To tell you the truth, this is the first time this king has seen it. In the past, when I was in the Lizheng Palace, I accompanied the imperial brother to see the drawings of the sea ships sent by the Ministry of Engineering, so I had a slight impression. Building such a ship is better than building thousands of iron horses, and it is indeed worth a lot! ”
Li Yuanba was very emotional, but he was also telling the truth, he had not seen such a big ship, but it was the iron boat he saw in his previous life, the cruise ship he saw, not a wooden ship made of wood throughout.
Seeing such a large wooden ship intuitively, Li Yuanba was indeed shocked.
Just as he was saying this, a group of cavalry rushed from the direction of Fengling Ferry, and a soldier led by him dismounted and said: "General Li, the commander of the capital ordered the small ones to come and lead the commander to go to review the defense of the navy!" ”
"In this way, it is hard work!"
Li Yuanba answered, and with his group, he dismounted and walked towards the river.
"I said, 'Who are those people?'
"How do I know? However, these soldiers are quite arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and today they can treat these people so respectfully, I am afraid that they all have a great background! ”
"Makes sense...... Well, I said don't stand in my way? ”
Seeing those soldiers in armor leading Li Yuanba and others straight to the ferry, the onlookers let out an uproar, and they all looked forward to it.
Walking to the wharf, three smaller sand boats were waiting here quietly, Li Yuanba and others got on the ship in turn, and the soldiers on board waved the flag, and then beat the war drums and blew the horn on the military ship.
Seeing the flag and hearing the sound of the horn, the ten divine boats that were side by side on the Han River also responded, and the fierce flag was unfurled, and a huge 'Tang' character jumped into the eyes of everyone.
"These soldiers are quite neat."
Seeing the flags of these soldiers, Li Yuanba laughed.
"General Li, you also know the flag language?"
The soldier who led the way was extremely surprised, he really didn't expect that this general of horse warfare actually knew the flag language.
"Surprised?" Su Dingfang interjected: "For our Shenwuwei, all aspects of knowledge need to be absorbed, and we must be proficient in all kinds of battles!" ”
"I see, your fellow Shenwu Wei is really different from the other soldiers!"
Although the Jiangzhou guard said this, he was a little disappreciative in his heart, it was not easy enough to be fine, and he was greedy and wanted to develop in an all-round way, dreaming, right?
While everyone was talking, several sand boats that Li Yuanba and the others were riding on had already sailed towards the middle of the Han River.
Strictly speaking, it is not small for a sand boat to carry about 30 people, after all, among the passenger ships berthed at Fengling Ferry, the largest can carry about 30 people, of course, it cannot be compared with cargo ships.
However, when the sand boat slowly sailed into the middle of the river and approached the military ship, it became a small grass next to a big tree in an instant, because it was too incomparable.
Soon, one of the largest of these warships opened the side cabin and let Li Yuanba and them walk in.
"I didn't expect this ship to have a side door, it's really advanced enough!"
Li Yuanba's heart suddenly felt quite surprised, I'm afraid that even the Ministry of Industry doesn't have such superb skills, right?
However, it is not a big deal for the Shenji Battalion, after all, it is not difficult to have Lao Hei in the Shenji Battalion, and the skills of the Ink Guild that have led the Tang Dynasty for so many years.
The soldiers of the Jiangzhou Guard came to the deck at the bow of the ship, and the soldiers of the Jiangzhou Guard, under the leadership of the capital commander Pang Yu, saluted Li Yuanba in unison.
With a relaxed smile on his face, Li Yuanba returned a salute to everyone and said, "Everyone, please be exempt!" Li came here today just to see, and there is no other meaning, please feel free to do so! ”
"General Li is polite!"
Pang Yu took two steps forward and said to Li Yuanba: "It is an honor for General Li to come to our Fengling Ferry to inspect the ship, how can we neglect you?" ”
Li Yuanba walked between the Jiangzhou guards with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "Pang Dutong, your military ship is so huge, it must have taken a lot of thought to build it, right?" ”
Pang Yu smiled slightly, and said: "General Li, in fact, this military ship is not a commonly used ship in Jiangzhou, but a master of the Assassin Shi Ming Shangguan, plus some wealthy businessmen in Jiangzhou donated a huge amount of money to invite a boat master from Wuyue, and it took three years to build this Shenxing fleet. I dare to say that in the inland of our Datang, our Jiangzhou military ship is the No. 1. ”
"Hmm." Li Yuanba nodded slightly, and said, "This military ship is indeed the best in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, but it seems that such things are more suitable for naval warfare, right?" ”
"Smack!"
Pang Yu clapped his hands and said, "What General Li said is not bad, but at the moment, the salt gang and bandits are rampant in the Jiangzhou area, and this military ship is not overkill!" ”
"I don't think so, right?"
At this time, Li Su stood up, glanced at his lips with some disdain, and said, "Although your ship is big, the target of the attack is also obvious?" If I release rockets on a large scale, your ship will be a living target! ”
Su Dingfang also followed and said: "Yes, such a big target, if it is me, I will definitely use fire attack, the wooden ship is attacked by fire, even if I dodge, I can't dodge!" (To be continued......)
