It was night, and the Chen camp was quiet, but there was no movement at all.

However, no one dared to sleep, in fact, Chen Tianli had proposed that the Ming army attacked at night, and God knows whether it was the first half of the night or the second half of the night, so that people should take turns to sleep, so that once the enemy attacked, they could maintain the best state to meet the attack.

However, this initiative was soon opposed by a group of people, especially a group of experienced generals led by Yu Huagong, whose reason was very simple: they must not let people sleep, because once the war broke out, there were suddenly shouts of killing, so the sleeping soldiers were awakened, and it was likely that the camp would be bombed in a panic.

Bombing the camp is an extremely terrifying thing, a person is too nervous, and when he hears about the enemy's attack, he will also hold a weapon in his hand and slash each other in the dark night, regardless of friend or foe, and there is no need for the Ming army to land, and his own position may be chaotic.

So instead of this, it is better to restrain everyone to stay sober, otherwise they will lose.

In ancient times, there were many examples of war, what hundreds of iron cavalry raided the camp of tens of thousands of troops, killed thousands, tens of thousands of troops were defeated, this kind of war example certainly has the element of boasting, and the most important factor in the birth of such a large casualty is the bombing of the camp, in the dark night, suddenly issued a warning signal, and then a group of cavalry into the camp, the awakened soldiers were frightened, immediately took up arms, everywhere was shouting and fire, at this time anyone will become wary of those who are close to them, they will not hesitate to take up arms, do not distinguish between friend and foe, Kill each other.

Chen Tianli's apparent lack of experience led to everyone's opposition. More than 10,000 troops, no one stopped, and waited until the first half of the night. The Ming army did not send people to land.

Originally, I expected that since I didn't come in the first half of the night, I would definitely come in the second half of the night. However, after waiting all night, many people were sleepy and tired, and they could no longer eat.

Chen Tianli's eyelids had already begun to fight, and the entire camp was sleepy and tired, but the Qinghua Gong ordered someone to come and tell him: "Your Highness, the dawn is approaching, and the Ming army will definitely come to attack at night." At this time, the sea was foggy, and they could take advantage of this opportunity to land, and the soldiers were sleepy and tired. If they go ashore and raid, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

When Chen Tianli heard this, he immediately cheered up, this please Huagong is really a veteran. All of a sudden, the heavens were revealed. After waiting for so long, it was expected that the Ming army would take advantage of this time to attack at night, so he hurriedly ordered everyone to shake their spirits.

Pity...... They were still disappointed, which made Chen Tianli a little angry, this Qinghua Gong looked like a veteran on the battlefield, relying on the old and selling the old, and he swore every time, but the Ming army did not attack from the left and right. Now everyone is tired and hungry, and it is expected that the Ming army will not attack.

It's just that Chen Tianli can't ask that to be turned into a public. There was a lot of displeasure in my heart, but I could only give up.

When the dawn was revealed, seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Chen Tianli had to order the soldiers to rest.

Three quarters of the hour.

Suddenly, a shout came out: "The ship of the Ming army has moved, the ship has moved." ”

The whole camp was in chaos for a moment. Chen Tianli, who had just taken a nap, was awakened and heard that the camp was a little chaotic, so he hurriedly rushed out of the camp and led people to the beachhead, and sure enough, he saw seven or eight warships slowly approaching the bay and sailing into the bay.

Chen Tianli didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly shouted: "Order, order, wake everyone up, gather at the beachhead, and prepare for battle." ”

The battleship in front of him, in fact, is not very large, but only more than 20 zhang, the hull is also narrow, the whole body is dark, and now it is slowly breaking through the fog in the morning fog, getting closer and closer, Chen Tianli saw this behemoth, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

After he gave the order, the military attachés went to expel the tired soldiers from the camp, and everyone was not in a good state of mind, and they had already spent the night, and they were woken up just a moment after sleeping, so everyone's heads were not very clear, but they had to rush to meet the battle.

The battleship came to a steady halt a hundred or two feet closer to the bay.

The reason why Chen Tianli chose to stick to this bay is precisely because this is a deep water area, and the ships of the Ming army are bound to choose this place if they want to land, so even if they are hundreds of zhang away, they can still sail.

At this time, the boats began to lower their ropes and boats and sampans, and it was obvious that they were preparing to send people to land.

There were more and more rebels gathered on the beachhead, and everyone carefully avoided the traps, distributed bows and arrows, and cheered up the last point of spirit in the morning mist.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

On the big boat, Hao Fenglou was in good spirits, and after gradually overcoming seasickness, the whole person was light, and he slept for a while last night, and after refreshments, he looked energetic.

He faced the morning breeze, and with the naked eye, he could see the dense array of rebels on the beachhead.

At this time, Hao Fenglou seemed to be holding the side of the boat with a smile, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Order, turn the rudder!"

"Turn the rudder, turn the rudder......"

One voice after another sounded, and the horn sounded on the ship.

When the ships got the news, they turned their rudders, and the huge ship hung up its side sails, tilted slightly, and turned its bow.

Facing the beach, there are eight ships, all black and black, like a city wall. In this regard, the rebels on the beachhead were puzzled, what is the reason for this, and what are these Han people doing?

It's just that their thinking is a little sluggish, they haven't slept all night, and they haven't buried the pot to cook, when they arrived at the beachhead, this feeling is not obvious, but once they wait here with bated breath, many people's eyes begin to fight, and in this silent waiting, many people's spirits seem to be a little trance.

At this time, on the ship, Hao Fenglou gave the second order: "Prepare!" ”

"Ready! Get ready! ”

At this time, there was no more bragging, but on Hao Fenglou's boat, on the third floor of the cabin, one by one, shirtless and energetic wrestlers put down the baffles one by one, and on the right side of the hull, more than 30 black square holes were suddenly exposed.

One of the military attachés who led the team shouted: "Push the artillery out of the cannon, fix!" ”

There are more than 30 guns stored here, and the lower seat of each gun is fixed by a slide rail made of metal, which is a bit like a train track, and in normal times, the gun is restrained at the end of the track, and once it is used, remove the fixed latch, and everyone can fight to push the gun directly out of the cannon.

Such a design is the result of half a month of hard work by Hao Fenglou and a group of blacksmiths. The guns were heavy, and the ship was jolting, and in the event of wind and waves, the heavy guns would swing around, which could smash the men in the cabin and even destroy the hull. The gun is fixed and can be slid back and forth, maintaining excellent accuracy when firing from a ship.

These wrestlers were gunners, to be precise, they had been recruited half a year ago, they first practiced on land, and then on the ship, and in this case, they have tried and tested many times, and when they heard the order, they skillfully pushed out the gun, and the muzzle of the gun stretched out of the hull, and then they fixed the lower body of the gun with a bolt.

The cabins of this gun have been specially reinforced, and each layer of wood is made of the hardest ironwood, especially this cabin, which is several times more material than the other cabins, and is filled with sand and gravel in the middle to offset the recoil.

In order to test how much artillery recoil the cabin can withstand, the shipwrights have spent a lot of effort and conducted experiments again and again. As a result, this kind of special artillery on ships appeared.

In this era, the most important reason why artillery can't be put on board is that the artillery is bulky, many of which weigh thousands of pounds or even thousands of pounds, and the reason for the bulkiness is ridiculous, just because the materials are not up to standard.

Because the iron material is too poor, there are too many impurities, and the strength is not enough, if the cannon is made light and thin, it is only afraid that if the gunpowder explodes in the bore, the whole cannon will explode into the sky, not to mention hurting the enemy, and even it is difficult to protect itself. Therefore, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty did not put the improvement of the artillery process on strengthening the ironmaking process, but the mission was to increase the thickness of the barrel, some of the so-called Shenwu cannons, the thickness of the barrel was thicker than the small arm, so that such artillery was not only heavy and clumsy, it was extremely inconvenient to use on land, and the main use was just to place it at the head of the city and use it for defense. As for bringing this thing on board, it's a fantasy.

At the same time, in order to meet the needs of the ship, the blacksmiths also redesigned, such as reducing the caliber, strengthening the base, and trying to reduce the impact of the rear seat.

After several continuous experiments and improvements, it took more than half a year to finally finalize the shape, and now a gun in the gun compartment of this warship poked out of the hull, revealing a hideous appearance.

"Charge!"

"Reload!"

The military attache in command gave the order skillfully, and the wrestlers were also very relaxed, everything went according to order, first filled with gunpowder, crashed into the special shells, because of the redesign of the rifling, so the shells used on the ship were different from those on land, the caliber was much smaller, and it was much easier to load.

"Your Excellency, the third position is ready."

"My lord, the seventh position is ready."

"My lord, the twenty-first position is ready......

The artillery was reinforced, and the sound of the news was heard from the gun positions one by one.

The military attache was expressionless, and gave the most obscure order: "Start the fire!" ”
