The battle at sea was far less romantic than imagined, and several guards around Li You who had never been on a ship gradually turned pale after experiencing the initial curiosity, and the vomiting caused by seasickness consumed so much of their energy that they couldn't even escort Li You, and it wasn't until they survived the first ten days that they got better. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li You himself has no adverse reactions, he is full of energy every day, walking on the deck like an old sailor, which makes Qian Hua and the sailors on the flagship amazed, Qian Hua thought about it carefully, and never turned out Li You's experience of going to sea in his memory, he can only regard it as a capable and omnipotent, and his own world friend is not only all-encompassing in foot warfare, horse warfare, and city defense warfare, but even his adaptability is far above ordinary people.

They knew that Li You had commanded the fleet with Zheng He to sail thousands of miles, saying that the experience of the sea and the familiarity with the treasure ship, among the more than 10,000 sailors, there was really no match for him, but Li You did not plan to resolve this doubt, you must know that looking at his own commander like this, the sailors and officers on the ship were in a lot of spirit, and the morale of the whole army was also greatly encouraged, but it was also a good thing to think about it.

The observer on the lookout at the top of the mast changed shifts for the third time today, and after coming down, he shook his head, there was still no gain today, Qian Hua walked to Li You's side and explained, "The most important thing in sea warfare is to find the enemy, the sea is vast, and it is indeed not easy to find a small fleet. ”

"If it were another opponent, we might have to worry about the enemy's fleet hiding and not fighting us, but Zheng Feihuang and their fleet don't have to worry at all." Li You pointed ahead and said, "In three more days, we will approach Zheng Feihuang and their lair, if their fleet does not appear again, we will attack the port and burn their docks and warehouses; Zheng Feihuang is also reluctant to suffer such a loss, their fleet will definitely come out to intercept before we reach the port, the reason why it has not appeared now, I think one is to observe our fleet, and the other is to wait for the East China Sea Daoyi to gather more ships. ”

"The last general thinks so too." Qian Hua nodded and replied, "Although I haven't found the Grand Fleet in the past few days, I can often see merchant ships and fishing boats appearing nearby, and I don't hurry to avoid us when I see us, if it weren't for Zheng Feihuang's spies, who else would be so bold?" After discovering these ships, Qian Hua did not directly order an attack, but only sent a clipper to drive them away, and reported the news back through the sailors on the clipper, and the people on board did not want to be serious merchants and fishermen.

"In the past two days, there have been more and more ships checking the news, and in my opinion, the enemy's fleet will surround it in the next two days." Li You said firmly, "General Qian must be prepared earlier." ”

"The Admiral understands that from this day onwards I have ordered all sailors to be ready for battle, and that the lights are strictly forbidden at night to prevent the enemy from attacking at night." With such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Qian Hua really couldn't think of any other possibility for them to win besides a sneak attack, as long as they prevented this hand, they would be invincible.

The second day was still uneventful, and on the morning of the third day, a little sail shadow finally began to rise below the sea level, and countless sailors on the lookout sounded the alarm horn at the same time, and slips of paper with information about the enemy troops were stuffed into bamboo tubes and slid down the lookout along the cable, and the staff officers of the sailors integrated the enemy situation observed by these observers into a block for analysis.

When all the ships of the enemy army appeared in front of Li You, the analysis results of the naval staff officers also came out, Qian Hua hurriedly walked to Li You's side with the results, "Lord Qiyu, most of the ships that appear now are the usual warship style of Donghai Daoyi, only a few are Zheng Feihuang's fleet, through the verification of the information collected before, at least half of the ships of Zheng Feihuang's naval fleet are hiding, and the staff unanimously deduces that Zheng Feihuang wants to use these cannon fodder of Donghai Daoyi to consume our strength, Their main fleet is hiding nearby and ready to pick up the bargain, and the last general intends to ......"

Li You raised his hand to stop his report, "Everything in this battle is up to you, don't report to me, I'll just stand here and cheer for the soldiers." After that, Li You took the drumstick from the guard, looked at Qian Hua, and waited for him to issue an order.

"Thank you Lord Lieutenant for your trust, this battle will be easily won." Qian Hua suppressed the excitement in his heart, gave a military salute to Li You and then left in a hurry, and after a while, the flagbearer on the flagship lookout began to use the flags of different colors in his hands to send one signal after another to the entire fleet, and the whole fleet quickly changed formation and pressed the enemy in front.

"Gunner ready, rocket ready, crossbowman ready!" Commands were loudly tipped across the flagship, and everywhere were soldiers who moved quickly but without any confusion, and they quickly poured gunpowder into the chambers of their guns according to movements they had honed countless times, and then compacted and placed the shells; On the other side, the bed crossbow was also in place, and a soldier with a torch was ready to light the grease-soaked strip of cloth at the tip of the arrow.

On other ships, soldiers placed clay pots filled with flammable fuel grease and wrapped in straw ropes, also soaked in grease, in the trebuchet's launch bucket, ready to be ignited and fired; More sailors flocked to the deck, armed with a variety of weapons, ready to attack the enemy who approached their ships.

Qian Hua stood on the command podium of the flagship, and the second middle school listened intently to the numbers reported by the staff officers, until the enemy's fleet had already entered his range, and then he roared and issued an order, "Beat the drum!" Launch! ”

"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock! ......" Li You, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately swung his drumstick and smashed it on the drum surface decorated with the Kui Niu pattern, and the war drum made a heart-moving sound, which instantly spread to the surrounding warships, and all the ships with war drums also beat to his rhythm, and the morale of the soldiers gradually rose with the sound of the drums.

"Boom!" The cannons on the flagship let out the first roar, and the cannons on the rest of the treasure ships also began to work, and then the bed crossbow fired rockets at the enemy fleet, and the trebuchet threw huge fireballs forward, and one by one the fireballs with black smoke slammed into the enemy's deck in a wonderful arc from the sky, and the clay pot immediately shattered, and the grease inside splashed all around, and a huge flame suddenly rose on the deck.

"These enemies are really vulnerable." Looking at the scattered formation on the opposite side, Li You shook his head and said. (To be continued.) )
