Chapter 577: Cannon Roar (Part I) (Calling for a Monthly Pass)

I'm fine anyway, I haven't figured out a lot of questions about the navy yesterday, and now General Manager Zhang has already tasted what he wants, and wandered over to chat with my artillery standard-bearer very pleasantly. I walked to the side and walked around to Liu Renliang's side: "Lord Liu, what do you think of these academy students?!" ”

Liu Renliang nodded subconsciously: "Yes, quite good, every soldier who is trained is meticulous in every action, and he will never be distracted, there are many sergeants that the lower officials have seen, but they have never seen such elite, so they said that those soldiers who stood behind and watched the performance were all standing like pine, which really made the lower officials envious." ”

Immediately afterwards, he probably remembered what happened to Fang Cai, pulled the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, and bowed his hand to me solemnly: "I can't imagine that the flag language used by the general is far beyond what Liu thinks, if our navy gets the help of this thing, it will be able to command like an arm. ”

I smiled and waved my hand, and then said, "Where, but Fang has doubts in his heart, and I hope that Lord Liu can give me some advice." ”

"Although the general inquires, the subordinate knows everything."

"Fang Mou wants to ask Lord Liu, if you go to sea to fight, and the ships are so far apart, what will you use to contact the command?" I'm curious.

Liu Renliang listened to my question and said with a smile: "My Datang Navy also uses the Ling Banner as the name to fight, but depending on the color of the flag, the role is different, and when the naval battle is carried out, it also needs to be accompanied by drums and gongs. For example, if you hear the sound of drums and erect white flags and crimson flags, ships of all sizes should be killed, and if you see an order not to attack, you should be beheaded immediately. When the gong is heard, the white flags are lowered, the green flag is raised, and the boat should be stopped, and if anyone does not stop, he should be beheaded. When you hear the sound of drums, raise two yellow flags and arrange them in a circle on three sides...... In short, it is a sentence, listen carefully to the drums, and carefully look at the flags of the conductor. If you don't obey the order, you will be beheaded. ”

----------------------------------------------------, "Oh, thank you Lord Liu, Fang has finally gained some more knowledge, but there is another thing, I want to ask Lord Liu." "I am a teacher, but I am a good teacher, I am not ashamed to ask, and those who understand the three elements of people must have the truth of my teacher.

My modest attitude made Liu Renliang very useful, although he didn't even dare to say it, but it could be seen from his expression that a trace of self-satisfied joy climbed up his cheeks.

"When the people set sail this morning, Mr. Zhang threw a lot of money into the sea, and then he muttered a lot of things."

Liu Renliang smiled and stroked his short beard: "This is the practice of the navy, every time the navy sails, or when crossing the river, the commander in charge usually sinks a quick white jade into the water first, and it is written: A certain commander sent a messenger to someone." I would like to say to the river god that the thief made a rebellion, and the Son of Heaven sent someone to lead the army across the river to recruit the thieves, so he offered white jade, only hoping that the river god could punish the thief...... "It seems that my knowledge is shallow, as the so-called travel of thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, this statement is really true."

The waves continued to collide happily with the ship, and I was also very happy, at least until now, many strong soldiers had already squatted and vomited, and the ones who could stand next to me were Xue Rengui and Duan Yunsong, Su Dingfang vomited very rhythmically, perhaps in order to maintain his famous general's face, after spitting, he always asked his own soldiers to get him water to rinse his mouth, and then tidy up his face, however, he has repeated the above behavior no less than ten times so far. I squeezed my eyebrows with Duan Yunsong, and Xue Rengui said seriously: "It seems that General Su's concentration is insufficient. ”

I almost didn't laugh out loud, seasickness has a fart relationship with concentration, but Xue Rengui's words are not only boastful, but also a slap in the ass.

Fang Cheng over there looks much better, too, vomiting, spitting, and getting used to it, although the face of the house is still pale, but at least he can pick up the dough and put it in that crazy mouth, and the Bonnard on the side snorted and leaned on the deck, it can be seen that he has not recovered yet, pitiful, there is no seasickness medicine for him to take at the moment.

I just asked the medical staff in the army to bring some salt sugar water and pour it with him, Bo Naljin finally got better, grinned at me to thank me, I signaled him not to speak, patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Rely on more, don't think about anything, it's like sleeping in the cradle, Fang Cheng, take care of him, if there is anything, remember to report me quickly." ”

Dealt with the two loyal servants, it was time for lunch at this time, pinched a piece of meatloaf and chewed it, well, while looking at the sea view, letting the sea breeze with a little fishy smell blow on his cheeks, while eating fragrant cakes, this is not a kind of enjoyment, Su Dingfang had no appetite, sat on the deck and was panting, looking haggard.

At this moment, the sergeant who was looking around with a telescope in the middle of the ship's mast suddenly pointed to the left front and shouted loudly: "There is an enemy ship in front of the left!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, I quickly took the whole cake and bit it in my mouth, and pulled out the binoculars on my waist, but because my position here is not as high as Wangdoudou, and my vision is not as wide as his, I waited for a long time before I saw a faint mast appear at the farthest point of the sea level...... "Damn, let no one eat a quiet meal, put a mark, there is an enemy ship approaching, ready to fight." Holding a piece of meat cake that had been gnawed and lacked, the angry Zhang Liang Zhang Daguan burst out of the hatch and shouted angrily. At this time, Liu Renliang on the side suddenly narrowed his eyes, and came to the ear of Manager Zhang and muttered, Manager Zhang's eyes immediately fell on me, and the meatloaf in his hand was stuffed directly to the soldiers on the side, and he strode towards me. "Hahaha, virtuous nephew, as the saying goes, come early, if you come by chance, last night I also said that today is the test gun, no, there is such a large group here, but it is enough for you to try it well."

---------------------------------------------------- hearing this, all the academy soldiers who were still there performing a boring cannon ranging show immediately turned their heads in unison as if they had eaten gunpowder, and looked at me with longing eyes.

"Then the general will order, and the artillery will be assembled immediately." I stood at the end of the line and shouted, and more than 20 people all stood straight in front of me, and the disabled people who were seasick naturally could not be counted. "Have you all heard the commander's order?!"

"I heard you!" More than 20 people replied neatly like a person's roar, after taking the binoculars and looking at them for a long time, his expression became relaxed, and he signaled to let all the ships slow down, the opponent's warships are only a hundred, and they are just looking for death, and General Manager Zhang can just take a look at the power of the Tang artillery to fight on the sea ships.

When the artillerymen excitedly untied the ropes that held the guns in preparation for the ranging charge, I found a problem, a big problem, I took my foot and gently stomped the deck, and I was a little apprehensive, God knows if this thing is strong or not, what if the deck is too thin to withstand the downward recoil of the gun's tail and pierce the ship's roof?

The artillerymen were confused by my movements, and they all stopped what they were doing and looked at me. I looked at Liu Renliang, who was stunned by me, then looked at my lightly stamped foot, and then smiled: "The general is worried that this ship is not strong?" ”

"Hehe, what Lord Liu said in his words is not a question of whether it is strong or not, the power of the artillery is extraordinary, but the power of the clumsy aftermath is also not small, if the cannon hits a broken ship in Goguryeo, but the deck of my Datanglou ship is damaged, so it is difficult to explain to Lord Liu and General Zhang."

Zhang Liang was also a little dumbfounded when he heard what I said, he hadn't thought about this problem. Liu Renliang spoke first: "It turns out that the general is worried about this, in fact, the general can rest assured, the deck of my Datang Building ship is not comparable to ordinary boats, and the wood used in the deck is a century-old solid wood, and the two methods of wooden lapping and flat connection are mixed, with a total of three layers, and there is a horizontal wood support below, and the thickness of this deck alone is close to half a foot, which is to prevent the enemy from throwing boulders to destroy the ship." ”

"I see, that Fang is a little worried, hehe......" I replied with a smile, but my heart was still a little unstable, so if you use a mortar on such a thick deck, then you don't need to worry a little, but the power is much inferior to this bronze artillery, and it can't show the huge power of the artillery.

"Lord Zheng, Second Sergeant Chen Liang has an idea." Just as I hesitated, one of the gunners beside me raised his hand, mustered up the courage to blush, and suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Say it. "When I looked back, I saw a white and innocent young man, quite burly, but with a white face. When Chen Liang heard what I said, he plucked up his courage: "If you fire at a distance of 800 to 500 steps, you don't have to worry about recoil." ”
