Today's weather has been very good, the sky has been clear since the morning, and the moon is still bright and starry in the evening. The sea surface in early winter is a deep blue, like a sapphire embedded in the land - the sea of Daheng has always been more beautiful the further south it goes. When they were fighting in Liaodong, the North Bay was not frozen, and it looked like it was dusty, and Yu Jingning and the others saw the beautiful sea for the first time.

This is the East China Sea.

Tonight is a good time to train, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow may not be such good weather, Yu Jingning did not want this opportunity to be wasted at all, so he divided the newly built Fujian and Zhejiang naval forces into two teams, he led one team himself, and then Che Si led a team to "fight" at sea.

Yu Jingning, as before, chose a red flag and hung it at the head of the bed, and the team of soldiers he led also made some red marks on his body more or less.

When night fell, the two sides took up a posture and fought in the sea.

Just like in land training, when the two teams of men and horses "fight" each other, the guns are unloaded, and the swords, guns, and halberds are also wrapped in cloth, and the same is true when fighting at sea.

There is just no way to judge what the other side's ship will be like if this shell blows up, and the success or failure depends only on which side's flag will be cut first.

Although it is impossible to see what the result will be when training in this way, the best way for Yu Jingning and them to do it is like this.

It is true that the Fujian and Zhejiang naval forces have been training in the war, relying on the rebellious army and the Japanese to improve themselves again and again, but after all, it is a lesson brought by blood and tears, and now this kind of practice is indispensable like a "play house".

After all, on the battlefield, summing up experience all depends on human life.

Today's wind is already very small, Yu Jingning standing on the boat, can still see the flag on the main battle ship he is on, hunting, he relied on this to judge the wind direction, and directed the helmsman to sail the ship in the direction of the downwind.

If it is in the river, this geographical advantage is smooth sailing, and in the sea is not as obvious as the upstream and downstream in the river, but the wind direction can still be used.

The two ships were fighting, both trying to occupy a favorable position, and the green tendons on the necks of the two helmsmen were bursting, and they were about to fight to the death.

At this time, Yu Jingning glanced at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little soldier beside him - this was their trumpeter, and his voice was usually loud, but he had not yet become complete, and he could shout out two miles in one breath with a clear and bright children's voice.

I saw that the trumpeter took a breath, exerted his strength, and shouted at the other side: "You guys take it easy!" Don't crash the ship! ”

After all, this is just a military training, not a real war, and it is really not in that life-and-death situation, the trumpeter shouted out with a "whoop", and the helmsman on the opposite side was really stunned for a moment.

When the trumpeter saw this, he had an idea, and added: "Our ship got it so easily!" ”

It's good now, the other side really didn't dare to fight with Yu Jingning and their side, and hurriedly avoided a little to the side - now the imperial court is still making trouble about the military expenses of the new navy, these ships were brought here by everyone to save money, who is willing to crash them?

Yu Jingning took advantage of this opportunity to quickly command the helmsman next to him, and the helmsman naturally knew this meaning, and after a dazzling and dizzying operation, Yu Jingning's ship successfully occupied the position of the downwind.

The helmsmen on the other side were dumbfounded. If you dare to love what boat that kid shouted just now, that's for this!

Che Si, who was commanding on the other side, also couldn't cry or laugh: "The prince actually used this trick on us? He hurriedly commanded and lined up the boats here, all connected with iron chains, to resist Yu Jingning's attack in the downwind direction.

The warships of both sides put on a posture, and the battle was in full swing for a while.

The sound of the empty cannon was just as loud, and Che San and the little scouts under him standing on the shore, as well as the cavalry and infantry of the Northwest Army, who had no patrol task for the time being, all stood from a distance and looked at them, and they were all very excited.

Che San clapped his hands and laughed: "This is a refreshing fight!" It's so refreshing! On weekdays, I saw our Fujian and Zhejiang naval army being chased and beaten by others, and they didn't hold on long before they had to return to the port, and they always wanted us to save people, and now I finally saw them put on a posture and fight! ”

A few young scouts next to him probed their heads to look at them, and by the way, they squeezed their bosses: "What are these words?" At that time, the group of sailors was unhappy and wanted to fight with us, and when they told the prince, they all said that it was Che Shen who would sow discord among you. ”

"Fuck your fart." Che San slapped the back of the little soldier's brain, "Am I squeezing them?" It's obviously encouragement, it's already very good for people to be able to go into the water, where are you like one by one, all of them can only be heroes on land, and they all kick their legs when they get into the water. It's all landlubbers, and they want to compare themselves to others. ”

The little scout covered his head, squeezed his eyebrows in pain, and said in his heart: Isn't this what the car staff said that they were all "beaten up" by people in the past, and they still want us to save them? Why is it that he is boasting again, and he has laid all the charges on my head?

The more the little scout thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, holding his head and not wanting to talk to Che San.

Not long after he lowered his head, he heard a person next to him shouting: "General, why am I listening to the sound of cannons?" What fool didn't shoot a solid cannonball? ”

There was no place where the cannon was fired from this position at Che No. 3 Station, but he had been listening intently, and he did hear something wrong.

He suddenly panicked, picked up the soldiers on both sides, and ran forward a few steps.

A cluster of firelight flashed violently in the night, followed by the deafening sound of cannons and water, and the sharp-eyed little scouts on both sides shouted like crazy: "Look over there, look over there!" That's not our ship! ”

Che San also looked at the place pointed by the little scout, and saw several ships coming over like ghosts, and he was afraid that there was still a fleet behind him.

"What the hell is going on with defense today?" Che San almost jumped into the water, but he didn't have a boat after all, and jumping in didn't help, so there was no way to help Yu Jingning and Che Si.

There is no big problem with defense, but it comes from the sea, and it is simply impossible to prevent it.
