Chapter 377: Zheng He's Fleet (450 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"Congratulations to the host for being qualified to summon Zheng He's treasure fleet! This treasure fleet consisted of sixty-two ships and fifteen thousand soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" accompanied by the words of the tiger talisman, a huge treasure ship icon appeared in front of Li You, and the note next to the icon clearly wrote the treasure ship's data.

The length of the ship is about 44 zhang and the width of the ship is 18 zhang, the fat and short hull is conducive to resisting the waves, the bottom is wide at the top, and the head is high and stern, which can maintain the stability of the ship even in bad weather; The two sides and the stern are equipped with long oars, the long oars enter the water deeply, many people swing, and the action of the oars semi-rotating under water is similar to today's propellers, and the propulsion efficiency is higher. It can also maintain a considerable speed when there is no wind, and the wading area of the oar outside the ship is small, which is suitable for sailing in the crowded waters of narrow harbors.

In addition to the treasure ship, there are smaller types of warships, tree three masts, the main mast is 4 zhang high, the length is 20 zhang, the cabin is five floors, the ship is as high as a city, can accommodate 300 people, and is equipped with 8 Hongyi cannons, 40 thousand catties of Buddha Lang machine, the firepower can be called powerful at that time, which is also the foundation of Zheng He's fleet to be able to cross the seven seas.

Hey, I remember that Zheng He's fleet to the West had more than 27,000 people at its peak, why did he give himself 15,000 people this time? Could it be that it was given to half a fleet? After carefully studying the information given by the tiger talisman, Li You found the answer, Zheng He did not go to the West specifically for combat, in addition to searching for Emperor Jianwen, he also shouldered the task of trading with coastal countries and promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zheng He's treasure ship fleet is also more complex, there are five kinds of treasure ships, war ships, horse ships, seat ships, grain ships, treasure ships and war ships, and the role of treasure ships and war ships goes without saying, and the horse ship is also known as the horse clipper, it is a large fast water war and transportation ship in the early Ming Dynasty, its length is 37 zhang, width 15 zhang, there are eight masts, its main task is to carry the horses carried by the crew and a large number of items exported or imported when going to the Western Ocean, and pirates can also participate in the battle.

The grain ship was twenty-eight zhang long, twelve zhang wide, and had seven masts, as the name suggested, to transport grain and grass materials for the use of the army when sailing; The ship was twenty-four zhang long, nine zhang four feet wide, and had six masts, which was mainly used to carry accompanying soldiers and envoys from various countries along the way to the Ming Dynasty.

The latter two items are not very useful for combat, so the tiger talisman has been reduced here, the number of ships and grain ships has been reduced, and the soldiers accompanying the army have also been put on treasure ships, war ships and horse ships, so the number of people required has been greatly reduced, from 27,000 to 15,000 people, but the combat effectiveness has not only not decreased, but also has been improved to a certain extent, without the drag of grain ships and ships, the treasure ship fleet can use all its energy on combat.

Isn't the next mission to participate in a naval battle? Otherwise, why did Hu Fu give himself so many ships and send Zheng He, a commander who is proficient in naval warfare? Li You couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't summoned Zhenghe, otherwise, the next time he encountered a naval battle, even if he was given such a powerful fleet, he wouldn't know how to command.

The Daming Water Division is also a great army in Chinese history, this army was born in the Chaohu Lake Water Division at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and also participated in the Poyang Lake Water Battle of Zhu Yuanzhang's Dingding World, and achieved remarkable results; In the future, it became the strong wall of the Ming Maritime Frontier, and repeatedly defeated the invading enemy; Under Zheng He, they once crossed the seven seas, defeated countless vicious pirates and armies of various countries along the way, and even captured the king of Sri Lanka alive to the Ming Dynasty; In the Battle of Imjin, they once defeated the Japanese sailors who invaded Korea; Even in the late Ming Dynasty, which was so corrupt, they once expelled the "sea coachman" Dutch sailors from Penghu; And Zheng He's fleet is the most powerful existence of the Ming Naval Division, with such an army, as long as it is not to fight those modern enemies in the late Qing Dynasty, Li You is confident that it can be used to defeat all enemies who dare to invade the Chinese maritime frontier.

I just don't know if the next mission will be the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty or the Renchen War to Aid Korea and Resist the Japanese in the Wanli Period? Li You fell into thought.

After thinking for a moment, he put the matter aside for the time being, he didn't know when the next mission would start, so let's wait until the time came! Now is not the time to worry about this, there are still these chaotic people of the Mixed Yuan Sect in front of me to deal with. Thinking of this, Li You didn't bother to let people come in and clean up, so he turned over to bed with the Liquan gun and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Song Zhiqing still didn't make much move, neither dared to attack Li You, nor was he reluctant to leave, but just drove a group of displaced people to come to test, but was beaten back by an impact from the Yunzhou regiment. Sending his generals to keep an eye on the enemy's movements, Li You called Zhou Bofu and Pan Feng to the school grounds, and he couldn't wait to test the power of the Liquan gun.

"Hey, where did the general get this spear? Doesn't that look extraordinary? Zhou Bofu saw the Liquan gun that Li You took out, not only his eyes lit up, but he hurriedly stepped forward to look at it carefully, and after getting Li You's permission, he took it in his hand and tried a few tricks, the weight and feel of this spear made him very satisfied, looking at his appearance, or he was used to using a big knife, he would definitely be cheeky to ask Li You for it.

"Let me use this spear today to meet your Mo knife for a while!" After that, Li You took the spear and pulled a spear flower, and invited Zhou Bofu to fight, "If you win, I have a big gift here!" ”

Zhou Bofu, who is belligerent by nature, has not been hidden enough in the past few days, how can he bear it when he hears this, and immediately brandishes the Mo knife to attack Li You, and the two sides have a good time.

Liquan spears and guns went like dragons, dancing like a golden snake in Li You's hands, and immediately covered Zhou Bofu in it, Zhou Bofu was not to be outdone, wielding a Mo knife to block Li You's attack one by one, and he had more strength to counterattack.

Sure enough, it's a good gun! Li You felt that when he held the Liquan gun, his mind was extremely clear, and there was no sense of panic at all, it seemed that this treasure gun was not only exceptionally sharp, but also had the effect of calming people, which was extremely important on the battlefield.

With the help of the Liquan Gun and the force value that had been raised to 56 points, Li You insisted on thirty or forty moves more than last time before he was defeated, which surprised Zhou Bofu, "Why did the general's martial arts progress so quickly?" I'm afraid I'm going to lose in a little while. ”

With just a few more missions, wouldn't it be a matter of course to defeat you? Li You smiled and didn't answer, "Since General Ben lost, then the good deal promised just now should be fulfilled, you come and sit down, and I will tell you about the use of this Mo knife and the training of the Mo Dao team......"

Then Li You carefully taught him the skills he learned from Li Siye, and Zhou Bofu nodded again and again. (To be continued.) )
