160 Went to war

Zhen Xiong's approach is precisely Tang Ping's biggest headache.

In Tang Ping's mind, the ideal thing was for the Great Wei to use the refueling tactic so that he could first eliminate a part of the Great Wei Navy's living forces.

It can only be said that Zhen Xiong has been the mainstay of the army in East Vietnam for so many years, and now in the face of the pressure of the whole army of the Great Wei Navy, Tang Ping can only give it a go.

"General Qian, General Luo, please!"

Leave professional things to professional people to do, Tang Ping will not feel that he is omniscient and omnipotent just because he is a traverser.

This is a real battle, not a game, not a game in which you can make your troops fight after selecting an order with the mouse box, everyone here is a living life.

Therefore, Tang Ping handed over the command of the battle to Qian Laosan and Luo Siye, who had the most experience in naval warfare.

"The last general will go all out!" The two of them bowed their hands, and then went to the deck to board the hot air balloon.

That's right, it's a hot air balloon.

As the commander-in-chief of this battle, they do not need them to charge, but to look at the big picture and then make the most suitable choice.

Even Tang Ping said that the control of the drone was handed over to Qian Laosan.

"Third brother, I remember that you seem to be a little afraid of heights, right?" Luo Siye said with a smile, before the Great Wei Navy came, the two were still a little nervous. ap.

But when the enemy was really in front of him, he suddenly relaxed, and Fourth Master Luo even made a joke.

"I'm afraid!" Qian Laosan did not shy away from it, and pointed to his calf: "Look, this is still a little shaking!"

"But the prince of Pingguo treats me as a national soldier, and we will definitely repay him as a national soldier!"

"Hey, who did you learn this little word from?"

"Hahaha, I learned it from Rengui's little ghost!"

Between the two talking, the hot air balloon has risen to more than forty meters in the air, and the weather is sunny today, and the two are in a high position, and their vision is broader.

I could already see a dense fleet of ships on the horizon in the distance.

"After the order, the Taihao ship and the East China Sea No. 3 to No. 9 pressed on the whole line, and shot a long snake formation. All Air Force hot air balloons take off!"

"Order, the rest of the ships of the East China Sea Fleet turn, the periphery is involved!"

"Order, Donghai No. 1 and No. 2 roam the periphery, attack the rear of the enemy fleet and find the location of the flagship!"

One by one, the orders were given in an orderly manner.

Most of the East China Sea Fleet was remodeled from the pirate ships of the past, and it was not comparable to the Great Wei Navy in terms of performance, so they could not be allowed to go up and fight hard in the early stage of the battle.

Therefore, the two chose the Taihao ship and the gunboat of the East China Sea Fleet as the vanguard, and discharged a long snake formation to maximize the power of the side guns.

Because its range is above that of the Great Wei Navy, it can turn the rudder to open up the distance after a round of shelling on the side side.

Almost at about the same time, the Great Wei Navy also discovered the traces of the Tang Navy.

"You Gan, tell me, what should I do now?"

Zhen Xiong sat on the tallest flagship, looking at the Tang fleet in the distance with an almost overlooking gaze.

After Zhen Youqian returned to Dawei, he actually took the blame for pleading himself, admitted to forging the documents of Admiral Rong, and demanded that Zhen Xiong punish him, but made him look down on his stubborn son.

So not only did he not deal with him for the time being, but he even brought him with him on this expedition.

There is no way, there is such a son in the family now, and if I believe in the ministers and generals of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that this Great Wei will still have to be handed over to his son in the future.

"Back to my father, the Tang Dynasty has always relied on the benefits of artillery, and this time when he came from the north, he will definitely not give up such a sharp weapon as artillery. However, the disadvantage of this object is also obvious, that is, although it is powerful, it has a slow rate of fire."

"And there are only a few dozen warships in Datang, even if there are artillery, there are not many of them, so we just need to disperse a little and then use ant colony tactics."

"Hahahaha, that's good!" Zhen Xiong was relieved

, my own loser came back this time, and it was really a little different.

Being able to express such an opinion now shows that he has also thought about it seriously.

"Then what do you say now?" This will make Zhen Xiong not take the Tang Navy seriously.

Although Datang is strong, it was not near the sea in the past, and there was no such structure as the navy.

I want to come here this time, the Datang Navy is just a patchwork of their inland water army, not to mention anything else, just this warship that looks different in shape from a distance knows that this is a patchwork fleet.

Although he Zhen Xiong avoided Nanyang to establish the Great Wei, what he was afraid of was not the navy of the Tang Dynasty but the iron cavalry.

In the battle of Baozi City, he led the 400,000 troops of Dongyue to suffer losses, so he ran to this Nanyang.

But at sea, he still has absolute self-confidence, and he has almost 500 large and small warships here, which is all the belongings of Da Wei, and it is also his confidence.

"Sail up, let go of the assaulter!" Zhen Youqian said categorically.

Zhen Xiong raised his eyebrows, Zhen Youqian's judgment was exactly the same as his own.

Although he looked down on the Tang Navy, he also knew that the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength.

Tang Ping, who he feared the most, actually came to the South China Sea, so he must be killed here.

And as long as this Tang Navy is destroyed, even if the Tang Dynasty takes East Vietnam in a few years, it will no longer be able to go south.

"Did you hear that? All the battleships, press the sails with full sails, and put the assault ships!"

The power and range of the Datang artillery are far above their bed crossbows, but now they have more ships and fewer ships, as long as they rush within the range of the bed crossbows, they will have the power to fight.

As for the assault ship they are talking about, it is a small boat hanging next to the battleship of the Great Wei Navy.

In addition to speeding up the warship, this assault ship uses a lowering sail structure, which as the name suggests, uses both sails and oars.

There were five oarsmen on each side of the ship, and ten strong men shook the oars plus the sails, and the speed was even about twice that of a large battleship.

From the very beginning, the purpose of the Great Wei Navy, which crisscrossed the East China Sea and the South China Sea Frontier, was to deal with the artillery of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the artillery is powerful, the rate of fire is slow, and there are few warships in Datang this time, so the artillery will not be much.

At this time, hundreds of such assault ships rushed towards the Datang Navy together, and their target was originally small, so he wanted to see whether the Datang Navy used artillery or not.

If not, these small assault ships are close to the Datang battleship, which can not only allow the sailors to go into the water to scuttle the ship, but also ignite the fire, which will bring a lot of trouble to the Datang battleship.

And if Datang is willing to attack these assault ships with artillery, it will be even better, not to mention how many hits their cannons can hit such high-speed boats, just by consuming the opponent's shells and reloading time, their Dawei will make a sure profit.

It can only be said that the Great Wei Navy can gallop across the sea and frontier, and it really has its advantages.

"Come, tell me about the second step, what are we going to do?"

Zhen Xiong asked loudly, he is building momentum for his son, and there are many important ministers and generals in the army who are also on this flagship, if his son is not a waste, then naturally let them know.
