Of course, there are disadvantages to doing like that, for example, the hostile soldier can imitate it, or you can tear the red satin on the arm of the dead soldier or something, in short, it is not very easy to use, it is better to wear armor, at least there is a guarantee.

However, Yan Hongxin didn't expect that Xiao Xiantang would actually think of using smell to distinguish his own people, which is indeed not easy to be imitated, but it is probably not easy for ordinary people, after all, it is far more difficult to train an army that can smell and distinguish people than to train an army that is brave and good at fighting, not to mention, Xiao Xiantang's soldiers are obviously also brave and good at fighting.

"What the hell is going on?" On the distant deck, a general asked angrily.

This general, named Wei Wendong, is not too old to stand, has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and can also be called a white-clothed general, but at this time, the helmet is crooked, the head is messy, and the whole person is in a state of mental collapse.

He came this time because the state capital got the news, saying that there were pirates here, and it was the Red Tassel Pirate Group, so he asked him to bring two boatloads of people disguised as maritime merchants to come over to see the situation.

However, if the current group of people from the Dinghai Navy appear here and try to exterminate the Red Tassel Pirate Regiment, then try to pass the news back, and at the same time help the Red Tassel Pirate Group drag down those people in the Ding Navy together, and try to catch those people in the Net.

However, he came here with two boatloads of people, and at first he didn't see anyone from the Red Tassel Pirate Regiment, but then he finally saw a ship, not a pirate or a navy, and not even a flag, so he thought that it should be a group of maritime merchants.

In line with the principle that since he came, he would have to make a little "hard money", Wei Wendong started to rob the maritime merchants, and then planted the blame on the head of the Hongying pirate group.

As a result, what Wei Wendong never expected was that as soon as the ships of the two sides met, the other party directly attacked them, and the other party shot very quickly, and even before the two sides said anything, they started to fight directly, you know, although there are not many rules at sea, but there are rules, even if it is a pirate to rob a merchant ship, it is necessary to give the other party a chance to abandon ship and escape in advance, how can they act like this?

However, no matter how angry Wei Wendong is, he still has to fight when he fights, but fortunately, although they are disguised as maritime merchants, they are actually not real maritime merchants, they have weapons in their hands, and they also hide cannons on the ship, so when they fought at first, they still had the upper hand.

Sensing this, Wei Wendong's confidence increased greatly, but soon he couldn't laugh, because the battle at sea was different from the battle on the 6th place, and there was no way for the two sides to fight face to face, especially when both sides had artillery, the battle at sea almost became a battle of artillery.

The shells of the artillery are solid iron balls, once they fall on the deck or hull, they will bring more or less damage to the ship, if the ship is smashed into a big hole, it is likely to sink the ship, not to mention the soldiers.

The other side may not have as much ammunition as them, but the quasi-head is far superior to their side, so there is no intention of ending for a while, but there is a posture of losing.

After realizing this, Wei Wendong ordered the soldiers on the deck to quickly change the sails and masts, and asked the helmsman to pay more attention, rotate the rudder at the right time, dodge the cannonballs smashed from the opposite side, and try to get close to the opponent's ship, trying to see clearly what the other party is coming from.

However, when the ships got closer, and after a roar of artillery fire, they realized that those people had somehow run to them, mingled with their people, and kept slaughtering.

Because everyone is in civilian clothes, there is no distinction between clothes, so it seems that everyone is an enemy, which also causes a scene where everyone fights each other.

On the other side, Zhao Yongkang and his party saw that the fighting over there had stopped, so they looked at Xiao Xiantang and asked, "My lord, is this...... Did you win? ”

"yes, won." Xiao Xiantang didn't have too much emotion, and said lightly, as if he was stating a normal fact.

When Zhao Yongkang heard this, he immediately became excited, and said: "If we can train such a team more, if we want to win, we will be able to catch it." ”

Ge Lao shook his head with a smile: "What Master Zhao said is not true. ”

"Oh? Why? Zhao Yongkang looked at Ge Lao with some puzzlement and asked.

"Soldiers are expensive, but a vanguard army like this also has their drawbacks, and it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive to train a large number of them, and it will also lose their sharpness." Ge Lao explained that the so-called use of soldiers is not only one kind of soldier, but that soldiers with various characteristics must be arranged in a special position to make them play the best role, which is the simple meaning of the art of war.

"Here they are." Mu Chonglan suddenly spoke.

Xiao Xiantang glanced at Mu Chonglan: "How many are here?" ”

"I can't hear it, but there are more than our boats, let's withdraw first, leave the green mountains here, and I'm not afraid of running out of firewood." Mu Chonglan tilted his head and said to Xiao Xiantang.

Xiao Xiantang shook his head: "Let's go now, it's a little late, let's fight." ”

"Okay then." Mu Chonglan shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.

Xiao Xiantang and Mu Chonglan said a word, I said these words one word, but Zhao Yongkang and the three of them on the side were full of confusion, until they saw more than a dozen warships rushing towards this side, they didn't understand.

"Nine girls have good ears." Zhao Yongkang said with emotion, he already knew that Mu Chonglan was good at fists and feet, and now it seems that Mu Chonglan's ear power is also very good.

Ge Lao looked at Xiao Xiantang, and he secretly said that Mu Chonglan may have heard it by hearing, but Xiao Xiantang mostly guessed it, compared to Mu Chonglan's ear power, Xiao Xiantang's guess was actually more terrifying.

Of course, these speculations are actually not difficult to guess, after all, those people were attacked and defeated, it is impossible not to pass on the news, the only thing that is difficult to guess is how far away those reinforcements are and how long it will take to come to support, Xiao Xiantang obviously guessed correctly, so it seems a little scary.

"My lord, there are so many warships, I'm afraid your vanguard army will be difficult to resist, so let's send troops, right?" Yan Hongxin said to Xiao Xiantang, he is also a general of the Dinghai Navy, and after so many years, he doesn't know how many naval battles he has fought, so he can still see these situations clearly.

Xiao Xiantang shook his head: "For the time being, there is no need for support." ”

"Don't need support?" Yan Hongxin's eyes widened, puzzled.
