Lan Bing stood in front of Renault, pretending to be calm.

The moment she saw the Austrian fleet, she knew that the Charger was in serious trouble.

Flee without a fight, according to the military regulations of Dachu, and be punished as a deserter, the whole ship is up and down, and I am afraid that no one will survive. No matter what the current situation of the Northern Navy is, after all, it is a Navy Army, and it is military law that is practiced.

Therefore, after releasing the messenger of the clipper, she took more than 100 uncles and drove the Charge to the Austrian fleet. Naturally, she didn't want to die, and before issuing the order, she guessed that it was impossible for the Austrian commander to take care of the Charger, which was a small ant compared to a large group of warships.

Sure enough, the Austrians sent only three warships. That naval battle was not long, but the impact on Lan Bing was very great. Don't look at it as a northern naval army, in fact, she has never fought a naval battle, everything she knows is her uncle and father, who bragging, telling stories, and her own understanding.

That naval battle, Lan Bing recalled afterwards, it was often a cold sweat, the Austrian battleship had weapons that she couldn't understand at all, and now that she thinks about it, half of the order she issued at that time was her accurate judgment, and the other half was her luck, and the luck of the Charge was also so good that it was bursting, otherwise they wouldn't have come back at all.

Even with this level of luck, the final metal storm still cost the Charger a lot of money. Before the start of the war, of the 190 men, except for the more than 10 people who released the ship to deliver the letter, the remaining nearly 180 people, less than 10 of whom survived with all the tail and tail, and the rest all carried war wounds of varying severity.

When the charge returned to the northern naval camp, there were less than sixty people who could breathe, Uncle Sigou was killed in battle, Uncle Soldier was killed in battle, and six sons were seriously injured.

Although the sixth son is not dead, he only has one breath left to hang his life, fortunately, Lan Bing has spare money in his hand, he can afford to hire a doctor, and he can afford to use the best medicine.

Heavy casualties, just the beginning, followed by the self-examination of the Northern Naval Army, which lasted for more than half a month, and the final result was that ten living people, including Lan Bing, were sent to Shengjing Luocheng and imprisoned in the military prison, as for how to deal with it in the end, she didn't know at all.

The military department is also very hesitant about this, if what Lan Bing said is true, the charge has no fault, and even a promotion to the third level is not enough to raise merit. But afterwards, the Northern Naval Army, because of her intelligence, returned defeated, suffered heavy losses, and lost the strength of a battle in a short period of time.

Obviously, although Lan Bing's qualifications are not enough, he must be the first back-handed man, and then find a person of similar weight from the northern navy to be the second back-pot man, this matter is easier to explain, explain to the Ministry of War, and also explain to His Majesty the new emperor, Your Majesty Chu Ren, after a few years, the ability to control the court has been revealed, which is much more powerful than the old Chu Emperor.

As a result, before the result of this matter was contended, someone from the Shengong Palace came to spread the word, and the people on the Charge, from the captain to the small soldiers, even with their families, wanted the Shengong Palace.

Although Renault has left Los Angeles, his legend has become more and more intense. Especially at the top level of Dachu, all kinds of legendary stories of Renault have made up tricks. In addition to the stories that make people pregnant, the real cases are also extremely scary.

There is currently one Earth Immortal and four Grandmasters in the Shengong Palace......

Not to talk about secret arts, in a short period of time alone, Renault's talent development in high-end armed forces shocked a large jaw. The grandmaster is good to say, the earth immortal is hard to find.

Now the two earth immortals of Da Chu were both pushed up by Renault, do you say it's scary?

In addition, first the airplane, then the hot air balloon, and now the airship, can fly in the sky, this kind of secret technique, who is not convinced?

Reputedly......

It is said that Lei Shi found one of the chosen ones, full of gold and silver, and countless iron ores, so much so that Lei Shi had no place to put it, and was ready to build a city with fine iron.

Just ask if you're afraid!

Compared with the Lei Master who is far away in Nanzhang, the Jin Master in Los Angeles doesn't seem to be very conspicuous. In the past few years, except for the continuous improvement of the secret gunpowder of the Lei Master, I have not heard of any new secret techniques coming out of him.

Secret masters are all respected, but they are afraid of comparison in everything, compared with the Lei master who is far away in Nanzhang, Jin Shi seems to be more scum.

Lan Bing was in the prison of the Ministry of War, and she was ready to die, but she was brought out, and she came out with nine other uncles who were not injured, and then she got on the airship and returned to the camp of the Northern Navy Army.

Lan Bing is just a small person, naturally she has no right to speak, even if someone dies during the flight, then you have to accept your fate, and people don't bother to answer her at all. The only thing she knew was that the Great Chu Lei Master wanted to see her.

When she arrived in Nanzhang, she didn't see the legendary Lei Master, but was pulled here and practiced boat control in the open space every day, is this?

A group of people who have never operated a boat before, teaching a group of people who have been floating on the sea all their lives to operate a boat?

Ten bachelors, one holding a thick manual, read for a while, think for a while, and teach for a while. Lan Bing and her uncle are all bad, this is to send them to death.

It wasn't until ten days ago that they saw the ship, a ship made of fine iron!

The sailors who had been floating on the sea for most of their lives were dumbfounded.

What was even more dumbfounded was that the ship had no sails, and there were masts, but they did not have sails at all, and they were not allowed to hang sails, but they were asked to learn strange things and be literate.

What do you call this, let a group of sailors who play with knives and boats know how to read, it is better to kill them. But there is no way, people are under the low eaves, life and death are in the hands of others, you have to bow your head, including Lan Bing, you have to learn from scratch.

Not only do you have to know how to read, but you also have to know what pressure and speed you have......

Oh my God, kill me.

In ten days, everyone has learned hundreds of words, knows what pressure is, can understand the number of the secret master, except for two hours of sleep every day, the rest of the time is studying, and even eating and going to the toilet have to hold a book to read and write.

Looking at the short little girl in front of him, Renault's eyes widened, Lan Bing was young, even smaller, among the girls of the same age in Da Chu, she was also skinny, she grew up eating fish, she couldn't get fat at all, but fortunately, she was still healthy.

He has bronzed skin with a healthy glow, and although he is very short, he looks quite powerful.

"Uncle Greasy loves little Lori the most?" Renault muttered something that no one understood.

With a light cough, Renault sent away the unhealthy things in his mind and asked, "Are you Binglan?"

"Yes. "The person in front of him looks very ordinary, he is the thunder master of Da Chu who has been rumored to be a myth?

It is said that Lei Shi is not only young, handsome, and knowledgeable in secret arts, but also a martial artist. But it looks really average, you can't say you're young, and Junlang is even worse.

For fourteen-year-old Lan Bing, it's not strange to call Renaud an uncle, handsome or something, in the eyes of the little girl, there is a different interpretation, anyway, in her opinion, Lei Shi is an ordinary person, at least he looks very average.

Renault suddenly remembered one thing, the content of the battle report was very exaggerated and vague, he vaguely remembered that the last paragraph was doubtful, but there were many things at the time, so he forgot to ask in detail.

"What your ship is called, forget it, it doesn't matter. The battle report says that the last blow from the Austrians caused you heavy losses, what happened to this last blow?" asked Renault.

"Back to Lei Shi's words, Lan Bing didn't know, in an instant, countless iron balls swept across the deck of the Charge, causing us to suffer heavy casualties. Lan Bing's face turned pale, although she was different from ordinary people, after all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, every time she woke up in a dream, she was covered in a cold sweat, and she always dreamed of that hellish scene.

"Countless iron balls, how big are them, what kind of weapon did the Austrians use, was it fired from a bed crossbow or a ballista or trebuchet?" Renault's heart was beating so fast.

"It's so big, it's not a crossbow, it's not a trebuchet, Lan Bing doesn't know what it is, on the side of the Austrian warship, there are many gun windows, and there will be iron pipes sticking out of them, making a sound like thunder, and there will be iron balls coming, the big ones are several catties, and the kid is like a stone. Lan Bing said with difficulty, whether it was the Northern Navy or the Ministry of War, the last thing she wanted to say was this paragraph.

But she must say that it is this paragraph that people ask the most, and the Northern Navy and the Ministry of War do not seem to believe what she says, and some generals even directly denounce her for nonsense, which is a lieu of shirking responsibility.

Renault was struck by lightning, the sonic boom was like thunder, the iron pipes, the muzzle portholes, this is a special artillery.

Others don't understand, Renault couldn't be clearer, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't look down on that play, Shengong City would have started producing artillery a long time ago.

Front-mounted rifled seat retreat artillery, such an old antique, Renault naturally does not look down on. You can't deny the power of this artillery, especially at close range, which is definitely a big killer in the era of sailing ships.

Solid bullets, grape bullets, and chain bullets have their own advantages and disadvantages. At close range, the latter two bullets, one can sweep across the deck and kill like hemp, and the chain bullet can not only smash the sail, but even the mast can be broken.

The Austrians have developed into the age of firearms, at least in the early and middle maturity periods. With a shudder, Renault kept comforting himself, fortunately, he hadn't relaxed in the past few years, if he was loose, he would have a generation difference with the Aoren in the main face of the armed forces.

Although the initial firearms could not completely change the trend of the war, it is certain that they could take advantage. Lined up to shoot the party's horizontal columns and hollow phalanxes......

With a large number of muskets, the restraint of the cavalry is obvious, and although it is not yet a complete victory, it can increase the probability of defeating the cavalry with the same number of people. If it is a mixed array of multiple arms, it is not a problem to defeat pure cavalry.

If there are naval guns on the ship, the army must have land artillery, and Dachu will be in big trouble.
