Zhang Luan said: "The enemy's warships are equipped with steel plates, which greatly enhances the defense, but correspondingly, it also greatly reduces the flexibility of the warships, and in terms of the agility and speed of the warships, our warships have an advantage, but now the morale of the soldiers is low, and the enemy warships are even more afraid, and they are afraid of each other, and if there is another battle, I am afraid that our army is still difficult to win."

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and muttered for a long time, so long that everyone present thought that he didn't want to talk anymore, and he suddenly said: "The navy army continues to carry out attack and harassment tactics! Even if it is defeated, even if it does not dare to confront the enemy army head-on, it will not be peaceful to attack and harass the enemy army!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhang Luan replied. Shangguan Xiu turned his head to look at Luo Ren and said, "Ah Ren, order the soldiers, the whole army will cut wood, collect straw, and build rafts!"

Hearing this, Zhang Luan and the others were also shocked, and asked one after another: "Your Highness wants to cross the river to fight?"

Shangguan Xiu said expressionlessly: "I can't wait here for half a year! Within half a month, I must take down the East China Sea Army! If it can't be used by the imperial court, it must be let cease to exist!"

"But ......" Zhang Luan and the others looked anxious, crossing the river to fight, it was not realistic at all, what could the rafts made improvised do, as long as the East China Sea Army came over, under the collision of the warships, all the rafts would have to be smashed.

"The last general obeys the order!" Luo Ren simply intervened neatly to receive the order. He doesn't care about that, whatever Shangguan Xiu orders, he will execute.

Over the years, he has already realized that Brother Xiu will not take them to fight uncertain battles, as long as Brother Xiu believes that it is feasible to cross the river, then this tactic will definitely be feasible, and his own side will definitely be able to implement it successfully.

Under the order of Shangguan Xiu, the Zhenjun army began to cut timber and make rafts on the south bank of the Dongjiang River with great fanfare, and many people nearby were also hired by the Zhenjun army to assist the Zhenjun army in making rafts.

The rafts made by the Zhenjun army were not foolish, and the wood on each raft had to be of the same thickness, and then tied repeatedly with thick hemp rope, and finally, thick straw was laid on top.

Crossing the river with such a raft can effectively protect the ammunition from moisture.

There are a lot of people who help the Zhenjun army to work, there are tens of thousands of people, most of the people are fishermen in the Dongjiang area, and people are also talking to each other when they are making rafts.

"We've made a lot of rafts these days, at least thousands, right?" muttered a dark-skinned man in his early thirties.

"Thousands, I think there are thousands!" replied another elderly fisherman.

"Brother, why did you say the Central Army built these rafts?"

"Do you still need to ask? It must be for crossing the river. ”

The swarthy man narrowed his eyes and said, "Cross the river......"

The older fishermen snorted out laughing and said, "Brother, you don't understand this, do you? What kind of army is this central army? Zhenjun Army! The Zhenjun Army is the king and hegemon on land, but when it enters the water, it will all become soft-footed shrimp. But in a water war, the Zhenjun army was not an opponent on the other side, so he could only find a way to sneak across the river and fight with the East China Sea army on land. ”

"I see. The swarthy man had a teachable look on his face. That night, after leaving the camp of the Zhenjun Army and returning to his home, the swarthy man took the carrier pigeon from the backyard and released it.

The news of the Zhenjun army cutting down trees and building rafts soon spread to the East China Sea army camp.

After reading the information from the spies, Li Yongfu scoffed at it.

The Zhenjun army has already tried to cross the river, but it was defeated by its own side, and now it is going to do this again, isn't this a self-defeating road? It is ridiculous to think that it also crosses the river on a raft.

While the Zhenjun army rushed to build the raft, the southeast navy army was not idle, and every day it had to send several waves of ships to cross the middle line of the Dongjiang River and sail to the north bank to attack and disturb.

If the East China Sea Army does not fight, the warships of the Southeast Sea Army can still pretend to fire a few cannons, as long as the East China Sea Army warships leave the port, the Southeast Sea Army will run faster than rabbits.

On the morning of that day, more than 20 warships of the Southeast Navy left the south shore and headed for the north shore. This time, however, the ships went deep into the north shore and did not stop until they were only 150 meters away from the north shore and shelled the ships anchored in the harbor.

The East China Sea Army has been harassed by the Southeast Water Army for several days, the key is that the Southeast Sea Army does not fight with them at all, and when they see the East China Sea Army's warship coming, they turn around and run back, and in terms of speed, the East China Sea Army really can't catch up with the Southeast Water Army, and more importantly, the Southeast Sea Army has the Zhenjun Army as a cover on land, and the East China Sea Army does not dare to go deep into the south coast at all.

This time, the Southeast Sea Army was even more bold, and it actually went deep into the north shore and directly shelled the port, how could the East China Sea Army endure it?

The East China Sea Army immediately sent more than 20 medium-sized warships to meet the battle, and as in the previous situation, seeing the warships of the East China Sea Army leaving the port, the ships of the Southeast Sea Army turned around and ran away.

More than 20 medium-sized warships could only watch as the ships of the Southeast Navy were wiped out. As soon as more than 20 warships returned to port, the warships of the Southeast Navy came again.

The generals of the East China Sea Army were so angry that they ordered their subordinates to stop using heavy warships and use light warships to catch up with the enemy and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This time, the East China Sea Army dispatched more than 50 small and medium-sized warships to fan over the more than 20 warships of the Southeast China Sea Army.

These more than 50 warships were completely different from the more than 20 medium-sized warships in front of them, especially the small warships, which were as fast as arrows off the string on the water.

Perhaps even the Southeast Navy Army did not expect that the speed of the warships of the East China Sea Army would suddenly become so fast, and more than 20 warships stopped on the river and did not withdraw at all, as if they were stunned and stupid.

Soon, the roar of artillery and the firing of guns came from the small warship.

Due to the limitations of the hull, the small warship had only two or three guns arranged on it, and all of them were small guns, with a short range and little power.

In water warfare, the main purpose of small warships is to use the advantage of speed to penetrate the enemy's position and rush into the enemy's interior to cause chaos, so as to disrupt the enemy's formation. It can also be used to transport water spirits, sneak underneath enemy ships, and gouge through the bottom of the cabin.

Small warships still play a great role in water warfare, but using small warships to confront the opponent's ship formation head-on is death.

On the warships of the Southeast Naval Army, artillery fire rang out in unison, and fierce artillery bombardment was launched on the small boats that were the first to attack. In the first round of artillery bombardment, not a single bullet hit, and all of them were hit into the river; seeing this, all the officers and men on the side of the East China Sea Army laughed and laughed, and the group of Southeast Navy troops in front of them were all new recruits? As soon as they came up, they gathered artillery bombardment, and you were so sure that you could hit the target, and you didn't even need to locate the three artillery pieces?

The positioning of the three artillery was the artillery term at that time, the artillery at that time did not have a ruler, and the shells that were fired out were all based on feeling, and the experienced artillery units would first fire a shell for positioning before the whole army gathered fire, so as to calculate the distance of the deviation, and then adjust the muzzle and hit the second artillery for positioning.

After the positioning of the two artillery pieces, the third artillery can basically hit eight or nine, and even if the artillery has no talent, after the positioning of the three guns, the next one can almost hit the enemy.

And the southeast naval army is good, what is not positioned, it doesn't care, it comes up and launches a salvo, so wasting precious shells, it is obviously a mistake made by recruits.

The East China Sea Army guessed correctly, these Southeast Navy troops are indeed all new recruits, and they are all female soldiers. After a failed salvo, the women immediately reloaded, and soon a second salvo began.

This time the deviation was slightly smaller, but still not a single shell hit the enemy ship. As if they did not know the value of the shells, the female soldiers reloaded and fired another salvo.

This time, two small boats failed to dodge and were hit by female soldiers of the Southeast Navy in the form of blind cats touching dead rats.

With two loud bangs, boom and boom, the two small boats were instantly blown into the sky. Seeing that the enemy's small warships were getting closer and closer, the female soldiers on the deck loaded their guns one after another, aimed at the small boats that were approaching, and fired a salvo.

The high-speed movement of the small warship may be able to avoid the shelling of the artillery, but it cannot avoid the shooting of the gun, and the board of the small warship is too thin, and the projectile of the firearm can directly penetrate the board and kill the crew inside.

While the female soldiers condescendingly shot at the small warship, the soldiers on the small warship also launched a counterattack, and the two sides went back and forth, and the distance between the ships was almost close.

On the female soldier's side, the commander in charge of the command is named Hu Jingqiu. She was originally a partial general under Li Ying, and after the establishment of the Women's Soldier Corps, she was transferred by Li Ying to serve as the commander of the corps.

Hu Jingqiu has been in the Southeast Navy for a longer time than Li Ying, and he is an experienced veteran.

Seeing that the enemy's boat was already close at hand, and there were people on the boat falling into the water from time to time, and there was no blood in the water, Hu Jingqiu thought about it and understood what was going on, it was the enemy's water ghost coming. She immediately gave the order for her own water ghosts to go into the water and kill the enemy water ghosts.

There are two weapons of the water spirit, one is a hammer and the other is a chisel, and after launching into the water, there is only one mission, to chisel through the bottom of the enemy's ship. The water ghosts on both sides went into the water one after another, and bumped into each other under the water.

Seeing the water ghosts of the Southeast Water Army coming towards them, the water ghosts of the East China Sea Army were dumbfounded.

It's not that they haven't trained in underwater fighting, but they've never seen a female water ghost.

I saw the water ghosts of the Southeast Water Army, all wearing tight-fitting water backings, with bumpy figures, especially on the chest, the plumpness of the two large groups was particularly dazzling. The male water ghosts did not expect to meet so many female water ghosts in the water, just when people were stunned, the female water ghosts were not idle, as if the fish in the water, they swam forward quickly, smashed and smashed, held the chisel and stabbed, only in an instant, more than ten male water ghosts were smashed and stabbed, and the light red blood water continued to surface from the inside of the river.

The water ghosts of the two sides are fighting underwater, and the ships of both sides are also fighting fiercely on the river.

The warships of the Southeast Navy seemed to be loaded with countless ammunition, and they could not be used up no matter how they were used, and the artillery pieces had never stopped firing since the beginning of the battle between the two sides.

The East China Sea Army ridiculed the female soldiers on the side of the Southeast Water Army for being recruits, and they couldn't even position the three artillery, how did they know that the salvo of the Southeast Water Army was positioning, and the continuous supply of ammunition in Zhenjun gave them sufficient capital to waste and go capricious regardless of the cost.

The gap in firepower between the two sides was soon exposed, and the Southeast Navy Army had only more than 20 warships, but the firepower was so fierce that it even overwhelmed the more than 50 warships of the East China Sea Army. Moreover, this time, the warships of the East China Sea Army were not equipped with steel plates, and as long as the shells fell on the ship, it would cause huge damage.

Seeing that their own warships were sunk one after another, and the enemy's warships were still constantly attacking with gunfire, the eyes of the main generals on the side of the East China Sea Army were red. Since the beginning of the war, your side has been winning battles, and if you are defeated and flee, how can you explain to the general when you go back?

"General!...... The Southeast Navy seems to be ...... It's all female soldiers!" The adjutant general put down his binoculars and looked at the chief general with a surprised face.

Among the navy, it is not surprising that there are female generals, and from top to bottom, from generals to pawns, they are all women, and they have never heard of what they have seen and done.
