But although Ling'er has a lot of silver, she still likes silver very much, in the words of the fat man, there is not too much silver!

Lu Jing didn't actually want to buy any chocolate, but Li Qiu and Lin Qi insisted on this, because they were fortunate to taste a few pieces when they were fighting in Langya County, and they felt that the taste was really good......

Of course, it's not to satisfy your own appetite, but the main thing is that this thing can really be pleasant and uplifting.

Moreover, a small piece can add a lot of sugar and physical strength to the soldiers, which is a high-calorie military ration. We can't control other troops, anyway, we must have Haining Naval Division!

A dignified secretary of the military department talked about smuggling business with a yellow-haired girl, no one would believe this kind of thing, even Lu Jing was confused after leaving Xiao Chen's house, and it felt like everything was a dream......

But the business was also negotiated, because three days later, twenty-five Western warships really arrived as promised, and the generous Ling'er only accepted the silver of twenty warships, and the remaining five were a little broken, which was all given away for nothing.

Who said that we Ling'er are not interesting enough!

Ten days later, the ten large warships of Yanyun County were also in place, all of them were brand new, even the paint on the deck hull was newly painted on the way here, and the pungent smell was really special!

Li Qiu, who made the visit on the ship, walked obviously fluttering...... Mostly happy.

Seeing the dozens of Yanyun naval officers sent by Xiao Chen, he was even more overjoyed.

After all, the officers and men of the Great Zhou Naval Division had never piloted this new type of warship, and they didn't even know a lot of the new equipment on board......

"How far can this cannon hit?" Li Qiu came to the main guns in the bow and asked with interest.

"If you go back to the prince, the maximum firing range is three miles, and the effective firing range is two miles, but generally you won't hit so far, because if you fill too much gunpowder, it is easy to hurt the cannon body and you can't hit it accurately." A burly young general answered quite clearly.

"Good fellow so far ......away," Li Qiu was happy, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, the villain's name is Li Mancang." This young officer is Li Mancang, the eldest son of Old Man Li, who is now the battalion leader and the leader of the Yanyun Training Regiment because of his repeated military exploits.

"Li Mancang, good name!" Li Qiu smiled, "It's just that your warehouse is so full, what are you loading?" ”

"When you go back to the prince, you will be loyal to the country!" Li Mancang replied quite beautifully.

"Hahaha!" Li Qiu laughed, "That's right, Xiao Chen, this kid likes it very much, so why don't you stay in my Haining Sailor?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "These boys are the backbone of my Yanyun Navy, it is impossible for you to give it to the prince, even if I agree, Dugulou will not let it go." ”

"Alas...... You're so stingy. Li Qiu sighed and didn't say anything more.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this was not Xiao Chen's stinginess, but that no matter how good these officers were, they would never be able to stay in the Haining Naval Division.

Because the foundation of all the officers and soldiers of his Haining Navy Division must be clean, not to mention the officers of the Yanyun Army, even the officers of the White Dragon Guard, and even the officers of the Black Dragon Guard.

Although the Haining Navy Division is a Navy Division, Xiao Chen and Lin Qi both advised him to form an infantry team, of course, he can't have any number, just in the name of the Marine Division.

After all, the naval division not only has to fight naval battles, but sometimes also needs landing operations, and the general infantry and cavalry are landlubbers, not only can not swim, but they will faint when riding a boat, and even stand unsteadily, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness.

Therefore, if a special force is set up for landing operations, these problems can be avoided.

For example, if the 30,000 White Dragon Guards were all water-based, the casualties would not be so heavy, and most of them would have drowned alive......

"Mancang, which of your Yanyun's battleships is superior or inferior compared to Ross's ironclad battleships?" Li Qiu asked.

"Back to the prince's words, each has its own strengths and weaknesses." Li Mancang said, "The Ross ironclad battleship has heavy armor and very strong resistance ability, and under normal circumstances, dozens or even hundreds of shells cannot sink it, but it is precisely because of their heavy armor that their mobility is also poor, and they are often in a state of passive beating when they are in close combat." ”

"The advantage of our Yanyun battleship is that it is more maneuverable and has a long range of artillery, but this is only compared to large warships, if it is compared to these medium-sized Western warships, there is no maneuverability advantage at all." Li Mancang said and pointed to the dozens of Western warships moored in the harbor.

"When you say that, this king is still confused?" Li Qiu said, "Isn't the bigger the battleship, the better?" ”

"The bigger the battleship, the stronger the firepower, which is of course good, but it also depends on the actual combat situation, for example, the last time we fought with the Ross fleet, we relied on the flexibility of small and medium-sized warships to win, of course, battlefield command is also very important, otherwise if you directly fight them at that time, you will not be an opponent." Lin Zirui said.

"Sometimes when we have no choice but to do so, we can only be hard steel, for example, that time we met the Dongying fleet on the way to send Liu Guifei to the province with Hou Ye, we were at a disadvantage in firepower and mobility, we couldn't fight, we couldn't go, at that time, Zhuge Xiaosheng asked us to play with them directly, and there was a surprise, and the little devil caught off guard!"

Liu Haishan remembered the scene at that time, and he still couldn't help but boil his blood.

"Then if you say so, we don't need any large warships, we can use medium warships?" Li Qiu still didn't quite understand.

"Uh......" Li Mancang knew that this prince really didn't understand water warfare, and he was a layman, so he scratched his head and said, "What about this large battleship, it's like a heavy armored cavalry, and a small and medium-sized battleship, it's like a light cavalry, Lord Wang, you say it's a heavy cavalry, or a light cavalry?" ”

"Do you need to ask? Naturally, the heavy cavalry is powerful. Li Qiu said.

"Yes, that's it, in theory the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry are almost certain to lose, but in actual combat it is not all like this, the light cavalry can use interspersed detours, cut off supplies, encircled attacks, set traps and other tactics to defeat the heavy cavalry." Li Mancang said.

"That's right." Duan Qiyun said, "Before, our Great Zhou also sent the Black Dragon Heavy Cavalry to fight against the Northern Frontier Tribes, but they were repeatedly defeated, because the light cavalry of those Northern Frontier Tribes was fast, our side launched an attack, they turned around and ran, if you didn't chase, they would be interspersed with harassment, if you chase, you would fall into a trap and ambush, and the heavy cavalry could not fight for a long time, once the war horses were tired and couldn't run, they immediately caught up......"

When it came to combat, several generals also became good at talking.
