At this time, the sky was almost dawn, the fish belly appeared white in the east, and the fog gradually dispersed, Zhang Lang knew that this drama was almost done, and if it continued, it would really be lost. Besides, it is estimated that if Zhang Ying sends troops, the time is almost up. Zhang Lang's whole body is dyed red, but as the commander-in-chief, he is often a soldier, regardless of life and death, fighting on the front line. I like this kind of world of swords, guns and swords very much; I like this feeling of crisscrossing the battlefield and bloody. I think that in the rain of bullets back then, I could keenly dodge it, not to mention this era of cold weapons. The big knife in his hand was a little blunt, but the excitement in his heart did not drop a little, under his encouragement, the Yangzhou soldiers who had lost a lot of combat power were still able to stubbornly block more and more Liu Miao soldiers, and the decisive battle in the urn gate was life-and-death, so that the enemy's advantage could not be brought into play.

Finally, there was a detailed report that Zhang Ying dispatched the Niuzhu Army, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that it was time to give the order to the army.

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and dozens of sailors had already boarded the warship and met them on the shore. Because Jiang Qin expected that this battle would be lost, it would be a matter of time before he retreated, and at that time he was afraid that there would be chaos when he retreated, and many of the Xuzhou soldiers were not accustomed to the surname Shui, so they boarded the ship early and waited, so as not to let the enemy seize the ship, and it was also convenient to disperse. After Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci led a few people to break off, they waited for everyone to leave, and then they got on the handsome ship with Zhang Lang.

And Chen Heng and Yu Mi wanted to pursue, but the Xuzhou Navy had already raised their sails and went with the wind.

When Zhang Langsa was less than half an hour away, Zhang Ying's naval army had dispatched 10 large "Mengchong", "Xiandeng", "Doujian" and other warships, and 30 "red horse boats" to rob Zhang Lang's back road. Fortunately, Zhang Lang withdrew in time, and his ten warships were equipped with the balanced quadrangular sails that had been invented at that time, and went all the way with the wind, and when he came back, there were no bamboo rafts, and there were few small boats.

In this battle, less than 3,000 of the 5,000 soldiers who set out from Hengjiang remained, and you can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time. Later, when the people of Moling recalled the battle, their faces were still extremely shocked and said: "In that battle, the sound of killing spread for ten miles, Moling raised the city uneasy, the drums shook the sky, and the children did not dare to cry at night. In the morning, the people did not dare to go out. It can be seen how thrilling the real scene at that time would be, and Zhang Lang's soldiers were also suffering heavy casualties, most of them suffered losses from unfamiliar water battles.

Zhang Lang was on the bow of the handsome boat, still looking at nothing, watching the beauty of the river in the endless distance. And Zhao Yu rested in the cabin.

Maybe after fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he is so careless about human life, and his heart is numb, and his current mood is not as naïve and ridiculous as it was then. The birth of any kingdom is built on the blood and corpses of countless people, and what I can only do now is to stop the war with war, unify China by force, and then establish a complete system to let the people live in peace and tranquility. Maybe in this process, many people will lose their lives, maybe they will have accidents, but with their own and everyone's surnames in exchange for the peace and prosperity of the people in the world, and even put an end to the future "Eight Kings Rebellion", "Five Hu Chaos in the Central Plains", "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms", etc., how many years of turbulent wars and divisions, that is also worth it. With emotion in his heart, Zhang Lang was very surprised to find that his goal of unifying China, from the simple ambition of the road to hegemony at the beginning, and the pleasure of the rivers and lakes, gradually changed to the taste of worrying about the country and the people, and it was ruthlessly at the cost of the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers, and his heart was full of confusion and ridicule of himself.

At this time, his body was very tired after the war, but his spirit was surprisingly good, although he failed to capture Moling, but I believe that Liu Miao would also be irritable like thunder, so that he found that he was the perfect Moling defense line, which was so vulnerable. It is better to bring up all the troops in the rear to make it easier for yourself to do things.

The morning breeze on the river whistled away, blowing his short black hair, which made people feel refreshed.

In the distance, seagulls fly freely in the blue sky without any fear. The golden-red light rising on the horizontal plane dispelled the confused fog, and the glow filled the sky. In the rippling water, it can be so beautiful and moving. The endless sea, blue water and sky, let your mind be extremely broad and comfortable. The boats were running with the wind, and the fish were chasing each other. Zhang Lang had a calm smile on his face, but his heart was full of passion, but in his eyes this would be so charming.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet. How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. Zhang Lang couldn't help but hum the theme song of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which shows that his interest is very high. Yang Rong was also infected, and Qiong Nose also snorted softly.

Jiang Qin has changed into clean clothes, but his hair is still [***], his face is not very good-looking, it can be seen that he is a little dissatisfied with Zhang Lang, the reason for the failure of this trip, Zhang Lang has a great responsibility for the death of more than 2,000 elite soldiers. I didn't expect him to be so rigid and self-serving, not listening to advice, and seeing that Zhang Lang was still acting like nothing at this time, he didn't care about the dead soldiers at all, and regarded human life as a mustard. Humming a small song, although it felt very novel, he was a little disappointed in his heart, and he didn't reflect on himself at all, Jiang Qin's heart was flooded with the idea of finding another famous master for the first time.

The wind on the boat was strong, and Yang Rong, who was relying on Zhang Lang, gradually felt a little cold, leaned over with her delicate body, and tightly held Zhang Lang's tiger arm with her slender hand.

Zhang Lang then untied the wind, waved it to Yang Rong, and said with concern: "It's windy on the river, be careful if you catch a cold." ”

Yang Rong's delicate melon seeds showed a sweet and charming smile on her face, like an iceberg melting, she glanced at Zhang Lang gently, and gently bowed her head.

Zhang Lang felt what happiness was from Yang Rong's docile face, and at the same time, there was a burst of love and pity in his heart. This beauty, who has been with her since the meteor shower, originally had a beautiful style that the world was proud of, and a temperament and ability that others envied, but she was willing to accompany herself silently, born and died, and never complained. When he said that if he was not overflowing with lust, if he hadn't bullied her arrogant and noble with his domineering and somewhat perverted behavior, and he would not admit defeat, he first pressed Yang Rong in a wild dragon posture, disintegrating her self-esteem one by one, and then forcibly hugged and kissed, so that her heart left an indelible impression on herself, and then when she hated and loved herself, the overlord made a bow, zhan had her precious body, maybe the two were still in opposition.

At the same time, I thought of the wives who were far away in Xuzhou. Cai Yan Cai Wenji, a talented woman who is full of affection and beautiful and moving, I don't know if she is good? Do you wait every day for your victorious return? I didn't expect Wen Ji's surname Ke to be so different from the history books, although she was gentle and elegant, and her temperament was outstanding, but she was not as strong as the book said, the night before she set out on the expedition, she began to have red and swollen phoenix eyes, and when she was away, she secretly felt sad and parted. There is also Diao Xiu'er, one of the four beauties who are compelling and pleasing to people, how can she look beautiful and moving, which makes people feel pity, but when she looks closer, she is naturally charming, and she is charming and charming. I am often dizzy by the fascination, I wonder if she is good? Mi Huan, the political victim of herself and the Mi family, although she is a little helpless, fortunately she seems to really like herself, otherwise this No. 1 beauty in Xuzhou is depressed every day, and that is what a crime.

Zhang Lang suddenly felt a strong longing for the delicate women, hoping that they could accompany him to swim the beautiful Yangtze River. As the lord of a state, of course he can take them on the expedition, but what will the soldiers under him say, although they are not afraid of cold words, but once the morale of the army is unstable, the morale will begin to low, so how can they still fight?

Hey, Zhang Lang sighed in his heart, and looked up at the sky helplessly.

Inadvertently looking like a cloth sail, suddenly thought, looking back at the observation of the building ship, swept away the unhappiness just now, and said with great interest Jiang Qindao: "Gong Yi, now the warship is mostly with four-cornered sails, rocking the pulp, in the structure and the use of wind has unique advantages, shallow draft, small resistance, light and agile, fast sailing, good surname, but when it comes to the headwind, or when there is no wind, it is necessary to rely on the sailor to make the slurry, the resistance is very great, and it is not easy to make, you can let people design a thing called the oar and rudder." ”

Jiang Qin was stunned, although he was in a bad mood, he was really curious when he heard what Zhang Lang said, and asked: "What is the pulp and rudder?" ”

Zhang Lang tried to remember what he had seen in the "Ancient Boat World" before, scraping his bones and searching his intestines: "This guy has changed from paddling back and forth to pulling water left and right, and can continuously do useful work to propel the boat, and the effect is much better than the oars used now; The rudder is installed on the stern, and the stern rudder makes up for the clumsiness of the oars to control the course. In addition, the rudder is not highly dependent on the stern, and it does not immediately directly affect the stern when moving or turning, but it can move the stern indirectly and change the direction of the whole ship. ”

Zhang Lang struggled with his brain to think of this, and he wanted to be more detailed, but he couldn't remember it.

However, this should be helpful for those of them who know the structure of the ship well.

Sure enough, Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Sun Ben and others, who were deeply involved in the water war, all entered contemplation at once.

Zhang Lang continued: "At the same time, you can create a seven-mast ship, and the best way to avoid the ship from stopping due to the lack of wind is to erect another mast behind the mast. They did not simply erect a row of masts along the longitudinal length of the ship's heart, but erected them laterally and staggered on both sides. So as to achieve the best results. The sails are usable with a spinnaker or four-sided sail, which is flexible and easy to use, and the control is not very complicated, and the upwind can also reach a very fast speed. ”

Jiang Qin Zhoutai showed an extremely shocked expression on his face, every word Zhang Lang said hit his heart like a boulder, almost everything he said was unheard of, and it sounded very good, which could greatly improve the ship's ability to travel. If these are really put into practice, Zhang Lang's contribution to the history of the Navy is absolutely unparalleled.

In the chaos, Jiang Qin forgot about the unpleasant things, and said with an extremely excited expression: "The lord said this, the last general will go back to discuss with the shipbuilder, if it is really as the lord said, the rudder, etc., then the naval combat ability of the lord and the navy army will not only increase by three or four times." ”

Zhou Tai seemed to be addicted to listening, his fierce face was fascinated, and he said: "Lord, what about when there is no wind, is there a good way?" ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a long time, pondering for a long time, and couldn't think of a reason. However, Yang Rong suddenly said coquettishly: "I have a way." ”

Jiang Qin Zhou Tai was overjoyed, regardless of etiquette, he looked directly at Yang Rong and said excitedly: "What is the magic method of Madame?" ”

Yang Rong stroked her somewhat scattered hair with her hand, her demeanor was a little mediocre, her demeanor was charming, and she said: "The wind on the water is impermanent. We should not rely on combat, but should pay attention to the development of manpower to propel warships. You can design a wheel pulp. This paddle looks very much like a waterwheel, installed on both sides of the ship, each pair is 1 car, connected by an axle, the sailor steps on the axle, the shaft rotates to drive the paddle to paddle, when there is no wind, this is an efficient way to propulsion. Much better than syrup. ”

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bi Lan had invented the keel waterwheel, but it was not perfected and promoted. Although Jiang Qin knew about the waterwheel, he had not used it.

Everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces, and surprise spread all over their faces, although Yang Rong just put forward an idea, a suggestion, but for them, what a shocking idea. It's not clear how many viable surnames there are, but it sounds very tempting. If it is really developed, then the ship can maintain its mobile surname on the river day and night, and greatly improve its combat capability.

People are afraid of the unthinkable, not the impossible.

Zhang Lang saw that everyone was carefully digesting a few of his suggestions, and said: "After these things are in Jiangdong and have relatively stable conditions, your navy has set up a technical research team to solve these problems, so that the ship's combat ability and ocean-going surname will be greatly strengthened." In addition, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu said that they were training their naval forces at night, and they would definitely be able to have a powerful naval division on the Yangtze River. ”

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals responded in unison with a straight face: "Yes, lord." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and suddenly his words changed, and he said with a smile on his cool face: "What do the generals think about the battle today?" ”

Everyone was obviously stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Lang smiled and said: "In this morning's battle, I know that the people will be puzzled, or have a slight speech, right?" His eyes looked directly at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin saw that Zhang Lang's eyes were blazing, penetrating his heart, and directly clarifying his thoughts, his heart was whole, he thought for a while, and then made up his mind, and said decisively: "What the lord said is exactly what Jiang Qin is confused about. With the great talent of the lord, he should not make such a decision, so that our army will lose many lives of soldiers and queens for no reason. Although there was a change in his tone, it was mostly questioning, and his face was very resolute, without a trace of fear.

Zhang Lang nodded, chuckled twice, and explained: "Hehe, Gong Yi doesn't know, our army is really deceitful in this battle against Moling, the purpose is to attract Liu Xuan's focus on the line, thinking that our army is aiming at Moling, and the defense line a little far away from the vegetable scattering, so that its heavy troops can be stationed in Moling, Qu'a, etc., while our army is preparing to cross the tiger forest south in the upper reaches and kill it from behind." At that time, Liu Miao was bound to lose. And the reason why I didn't tell you in advance was because I was afraid that you would leak the news and let your soldiers know that they were making a show, and they would not fight to the death with all their might. ”

The generals realized this, Jiang Qin also understood the key to Zhang Lang's thoughts, remembered that he didn't know his intentions, and was dissatisfied, his arrogant face showed shame again, a little red, Nuo Nuo said: "The subordinates are incompetent, they don't know the will of the lord, and they are still unhappy, and they hope that the lord will give them sins." ”

Zhang Lang pursed his mouth lightly, patted Jiang Qin's arm, and comforted: "If you don't know the guilt, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

The soldiers on the ship were impressed by Zhang Lang's open-mindedness and magnanimity, so they bowed. All hearts are one.

Back in Jiangjin, Zhang Lang ordered Tai Shici to be the main leader, and Chen Wu to lead 10,000 soldiers as the deputy, and secretly went up the river to Xianxi, waiting for the opportunity.

And Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai began to make a big splash again, and began to train the Xuzhou Navy with peace of mind.
