"Why?"

The four dogs stepped on his buttocks, Captain Xiaolan said stop, don't talk nonsense, ask a hair, if you want you to be the captain, see if anyone listens to you?

"Boss, the net is already halfway down, how do you get it?" asked Sigou.

The boss is in his early forties, an old man on the Stormtrooper, and although he is not an official, he speaks better than that of a junior officer.

The boss didn't say a word, he pulled out his waist knife, the cold light flashed, and the tough fishing net was cut in two, it is said that this batch of fine iron was bought by Captain Xiaolan at a high price, and it was produced in Nanzhang.

When I say this, few people believe it, what kind of hell is Nanzhang, where in addition to producing fruits, it also produces refined iron? Isn't this nonsense, I believe you are a ghost!

Regardless of where this batch of fine iron is produced, the quality is really good, there is nothing to say, and the waist knife created is extremely sharp.

The fishing nets on the Charger are not the same rotten goods as before, there are too many fish, and they can be torn apart. There is money in hand, and the preparation is all good things, and the fishing net can not only catch fish, Captain Xiaolan said, and when he fights in the future, he can still use it.

The ability to cut a fishing net half a foot thick into two sections shows how sharp this waist knife is.

"Just do it, hurry up, didn't you hear the alarm?" In the blink of an eye, the second-level alarm has become a first-level alarm, and something is wrong.

According to Captain Xiaolan's rules, the first-level alert is no longer preparing for war, but the battle is about to begin.

The lookout hand standing on the mast was crumbling all over, and he was holding a telescope in his hand, which was said to be a sacred object that also came from Nanzhang, so as long as it was easy to use.

The lookout needs to have good eyesight and patience, and he doesn't need to be flexible or high, he is the eye of the battleship, and he needs to be one step ahead of the enemy to spot the danger.

The sixth son has arrived, he is not tall, just over seven feet, which is extremely short among the Chu people, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a cripple, but he was born with good eyes, his eyes are not big, but he can see twice as far as a normal person, plus this pair of binoculars, dozens of miles away, he can see clearly.

"Confirmed?" Lan Bing was very thin, her body had not yet grown, and she was about the same size as Liuzi, who had already climbed the watchtower and taken the binoculars at this time, but she could only see the fleet in the distance vaguely, and she couldn't even see the type and flag of the ship clearly.

"Captain Xiaolan, it can be confirmed that it is the fleet of the Austrians, and now there are more than three hundred large and small warships, and there are still more than a thousand transport ships. Liuzi said with certainty, when he first saw it, he couldn't believe it, but in this area, except for the Northern Navy, it is impossible to have such a large fleet.

In fact, even the northern navy can't pull out so many ships, and half of the ships are already lying on their stomachs, so they can only wait for rot in the military port.

"Captain, what should I do?" Liuzi's limbs were cold, his legs trembled, don't look at them as a northern navy, in fact, they are not much stronger than fishermen, and when they encounter pirates, they must gather heavy troops before they dare to attack.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Great Chu has never fought a serious water war, and I don't know why the ancestors of the Chu family established a water army.

The southern navy is good to say, with the support of maritime merchants, they can receive a large amount of sea tax every year, and they eat with a mouth full of oil, but the northern navy is miserable, there is no oil and water at all, and it is a luxury to be able to fill their stomachs.

"Put the car and ship back to report the news, and both ships will be released, one will go back to the base camp, and the other will be put into the southern navy. The dinghy went ashore and alerted the nearby village that it was no longer needed and immediately moved to evacuate. Lan Bing said firmly.

There are a lot of small boats on the battleship, the largest is two car ships, the two sides of the ship are equipped with oars, foot mechanisms, and the wheel turns the boat, and the speed is fast, this was originally a boat on the river, and it was brought on the battleship by Lan Bing, this thing is not strong, and the only advantage is that it is fast.

As for the dinghy, it was used for life-saving, and when the battleship sank, the sailors used the dinghy to survive.

In fact, this thing has already existed, and the vast majority of warship captains have taken out the lifeboats in exchange for money. After all, it is a battleship, and if you are defeated, even if you flee to the dinghy, will the enemy be able to let you go?

"Captain, what about us?" the six sons trembled, and had a very bad premonition.

"We, of course, are fighting, and don't forget, we're the Northern Navy. Lan Bing said as a matter of course.

It's over, Captain Xiaolan is crazy.

After getting off the watchtower and summoning the navy, Lan Bing said with a gloomy face: "The Austrian fleet is here, and now I see more than three hundred warships and thousands of troop carriers, all of whom are my uncles, who have been begging for a living at sea for decades. ”

Indeed, everyone is a naval army, with a crew of more than 180 second-class battleships, at least 300 first-class battleships, and more than 1,000 special-class battleships.

As for the transport ships, it is difficult to say, some are large and some are small, if it is a troop carrier, one can transport at least 300 to 500 people, and the large ones can even transport thousands of people.

1,000 transport ships, to say less, are more than 100,000 people, and this number may even reach 300,000 or even 500,000.

There is only one stormtrooper, and it is still a second-class battleship, but the personnel is full, even a little overstaffed, and even so, it is less than two hundred people.

"Everyone usually thinks that life is not bad, but don't forget, we are the Northern Naval Army of Great Chu, and the Charge is a second-class warship. I know you're scared, but I'm scared too. ”

"Don't say it, Xiaolan, you say, whether you fight or flee, I believe you. The Boss said.

"Boss, Uncle, Xiaolan wants to fight, fight on behalf of his father, this battle, the charge will be lost, there is no possibility of victory, there is only one goal, to damage an enemy ship, get at least ten heads, as long as this goal can be achieved, the charge can retreat. Lan Bing said, she was naturally not crazy, in fact, now that she was retreating with the Charge, as long as she sent the information back, at least it would be useless.

But she knew in her heart that after she returned, she would inevitably be incorporated into the fleet, and the next battle would be even more tragic, and no matter what, the Charge would face a certain death. Now, maybe in a few days.

If you don't die this time, the battleship crew will be wounded, and you will have a chance to avoid the next mortal naval battle.

"I said that in front, this is a battle of nine deaths and a lifetime, there are four lifeboats on the ship, I Lan Bing will not be reluctant to those who don't want to, you can get on the boat and row to the shore now, we are less than three miles away from the nearest village, the Austrian fleet is still dozens of miles away, and time is in a hurry. Lan Bing said calmly.

The Austrians will definitely come, this is the consensus of the northern navy, as long as they come, the two navy armies of Dachu must suffer heavy losses, and no one knows how many people can survive.

The question is, at this time, who dares to retreat? Will the court and military department of Great Chu allow it? Great Chu has fed the naval army for 300 years and has not fought a decent water war.

Dream about it, with the temperament of those officials, if you really become a deserter, not only will you be doomed, but your family will not be able to survive.

No one speaks, and there are many people who are excited, but everyone understands the reason, can they escape?

"Since no one is leaving, let's prepare for battle. Lan Bing said with satisfaction, there are not many foreign sailors on the Stormtrooper, most of them are his father's old subordinates, plus after he took over in the past few months, everyone can have a full meal, don't look at her young age, but she has been recognized by everyone.

The sailors on the ship all knew that this was nine deaths, or even ten deaths. But there is still an old captain on the shore, even if they die, the family will get a pension, and under the care of the old captain, the family will at least have a way to live.

Fight!

The charge turned around with full sails and sailed against the huge fleet of the Austrians, the arsenal was open, the hidden crossbow house was raised, the bed crossbow was wound, the long crossbow gun was placed in the crossbow trough, and barrels of fire oil were carried to the deck.

The sailors took off their rotten fishing armor and replaced it with brand new chain mail, which shone black in the sun.

The speed of ships in this era was extremely slow, even if it was a battleship, the speed was not much faster, the Charger was going against the wind, taking a zigzag route, with the power of the crosswind, the full speed was only a little more than seven knots, and the Austrian fleet on the opposite side, by the downwind, even the transport ships were not much slower than the Stormtrooper.

An hour later, the huge Austrian fleet was clearly visible, they could see the Austrian fleet, and the Austrians could naturally see the Stormtroopers.

On the Austrian flagship, the commander Lei Jun pouted, he met a madman, a dilapidated ship, he couldn't even tell if it was a battleship, and when he saw such a huge battleship, he didn't run, what is it not a madman?

"Order, divide three warships, sink it, the big fleet accelerates, the Chu people already know that we are coming, and they will land on the beach as soon as possible. Lei Jun knew in his heart that there would not be many battles at sea, and the Aoren had spent more than half a year to find out the bottom of the Dachu navy, and the two sailors together did not have many warships.

The real difficulty lies in the fact that after the landing, this is the battle to destroy the country, the Chu people will definitely go crazy, the task of the Lei army is very difficult, he needs to open up the landing field, and hold it here, at least three months.

Don't look at the five armies he brought this time, 150,000 people, plus tens of thousands of sailors in the fleet, it seems to be a lot, but compared with the whole country of Great Chu, the gap is really too big.

In one year, the Austrians must hold on for at least a year, and invest no less than 500,000 troops in succession, before it is possible to hold on.

Lei Jun had his own plan in mind, not only to open up a landing field, but also to grab enough resources, especially food, which was the top priority. The food in the camp of the Lomon Islands is quite sufficient, but the troops that come later only have men and armor, and they will not bring too much military funds, and they must be replenished, and they must be counted on to eat in Dachu.

He's not a good pioneer officer, and he has to fight while grabbing grain. It's not about requisitioning grain, it's about robbing, Lei Jun has already issued a death order, and there is no need to take prisoners, only the dead Great Chu people are good Great Chu people.

The three battleships separated from the Grand Fleet, adjusted their direction slightly, opened their guns widely, and seized the T-shape.

Seeing the three Austrian ships separated, Lan Bing's eyes narrowed into a line, and the six sons standing beside him said softly: "Captain Xiaolan, the Austrian warship is very strange, I didn't see the bed crossbow, and there were a lot of windows on the side of the ship, and there seemed to be an iron guy inside. ”

"Order, zigzag forward, ready to turn the rudder. Lan Bing felt the aura of danger.
