But out of respect for His Royal Highness, the two still put on a posture that they were willing to hear about it.

"What do you think about artillery fighting?" Zhu Zhen asked first.

"Cool." Liao Dingguo said in a rough voice: "As soon as the cannon sounds, the mountain shakes the ground, and when you encounter a timid enemy, you can directly frighten your guts." ”

"It's definitely better than a bow and arrow." Yu Tongyuan nodded and said: "Especially in naval battles, sometimes a single shot can chisel a hole in the enemy ship, and the power is absolutely amazing!" It's a pity that there are too few hits......"

"Then a few more cannons, a lot of miracles! The king has seen your naval battles and your training, and found that although you are armed with artillery, the number is too small to be of much use. Zhu Zhen asked again.

"The bow of the ship is so big, you can't open it with two doors." Liao Dingguo said: "It can only be said that talking is better than nothing." ”

"Why not put it on the side side? It's a lot bigger than the bow of a boat. His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with a smile.

"Broadside?" The two of them couldn't turn around for a while and said, "Then how do you shoot?" The back doesn't hit the front? ”

"That's why this king let you side against the enemy." Zhu Zhen is also convinced of the understanding of these two goods.

"Hiss......" The two of them were a little confused, and hurriedly apologized: "Your Highness, let's take care of the ...... first"

"With your two brains, you may not be able to handle it until dark." King Chu waved his hand, and Gao Tie brought a few trays to the two of them.

There was not food in the tray, but some model ships. Since the Tang Dynasty, shipwrights have built a ship model of the same scale before building a ship, so that the shipowner can not only understand the ship type, but also test the advantages of the ship type, and also determine the size of the parts of each part.

This is one of the magic weapons of China's shipbuilding technology that has advanced by leaps and bounds, and Bao Shipyard has naturally been inherited.

Yu Tongyuan and the two had just seen Zuotang, so they could naturally recognize that what was in front of them was the model of those warships.

But unlike the real thing, these models are full of guns on both sides.

Two of the largest of the 4,000-material warships had sixteen guns on one side of the ship. Combined with the four guns on each side of the bow and stern, there are twenty-four guns on one side and a total of forty-eight guns on both sides.

On the 2,000-material battleship, there were 16 guns on one side, and a total of 32 guns on both sides.

It's much more intuitive with the real thing, and it turns out that the muzzle of the gun is facing outward.

"It turned out to be such a starboard enemy." Yu Tongyuan complimented: "Your Highness is really a wonderful idea! ”

"In this way, ten warships will have one hundred and seventy-six guns that can fire at the same time when they are facing the enemy, and their power will increase several times?" Liao Dingguo didn't have as many fancy intestines as Yu Tongyuan, and thought seriously:

"If there were enemies on both sides, as in the last time, three hundred and fifty-two cannons could fire at the same time, it would have been a spectacular sight......

"Holy, really!" Yu Tongyuan was also teased by the scene described by Liao Dingguo. I can't wait to turn this unprecedented feat into reality immediately.

"It's so rare to fire from both sides, and most of the time there should be only one side." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Because this method of battle has high requirements for the formation type, you have to maintain a long snake formation at all times in order to give full play to the firepower of all warships." ”

"A long snake formation? Really! The two of them deserved to be experienced generals of the navy, and they instantly understood what His Highness meant.

"Come, this king will teach you another trick of war games!" Zhu Zhen asked people to remove the cups and plates, and directly put the model on the table, arranging end to end in a line.

They also had the two of them manipulate another part of the model to simulate an enemy attack. The power of the lower side guns and the long snake formation is clear at a glance.

No matter how the two of them controlled the warship, they were always under the concentrated attack of Zhu Zhen's side firepower. Both of them are generals, so naturally they have a good idea of what kind of damage they can do to this amount of artillery.

After the two discussed, they changed their tactics and approached each other in a scattered formation, and Zhu Zhen's fleet fought and walked in the northeast direction, always keeping a distance from the two.

This is what the two of them expected in advance, as long as they bear a certain loss, they can force the other party to lose their range, and finally form a scene of Ouroboros pursuit.

But unexpectedly, His Highness's long snake formation suddenly turned around in turn to the west in the distance, maintained a perpendicular to them again, and struck them with fire from the other side.

Zhu Zhen's fleet kept turning in a zigzag pattern, always keeping a distance from them, and striking at them with firepower from both sides.

Again, the two fleets were wiped out without even touching the hair.

Seeing that it was powerful, the two of them paid attention to His Highness's new tactics.

"Your Highness is really a fucking genius......" Liao Dingguo knew that he had lost his words after speaking, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"That's it." Zhu Zhen was in a good mood and didn't bother with him: "Is this tactic still a little useful?" ”

"Useful useful, certainly useful." Both of them are knowledgeable, and they nodded vigorously: "This kind of kite-like tactics are quite similar to the Mongols' Mangu tactics, which can be invincible and slowly consume the enemy to death." ”

"But our enemy is the Haikou, and their biggest characteristic is that when they see a bad situation, they turn around and run." Liao Dingguo thought more deeply and said: "Your Highness's tactics are not conducive to pursuit." ”

"I am not afraid of pursuit, a long snake rushes up, and the cannon is bayonet." As he spoke, he pushed the battleship into the enemy line and shouted: "In this way, others will take the side, and we will fight with bayonets with artillery!" Face output is the only way to deal extreme damage! ”

"Really, you don't have to turn around this way." The two of them were overjoyed, and it was clear that this method of warfare was more to their liking.

Normally, naval warfare in this era was still dominated by broadside warfare and white-knuckle warfare, relying on courage and melee combat ability. When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, regardless of the type of troops.

So they prefers the latter method of the brave.

Zhu Zhen struck while the iron was hot again, and explained to them various naval battle essentials he learned from a game, such as 'seizing the upper hand' and 'Ding Zitou', and the two of them listened to their blood boiling!

"Is it decided?" His Highness looked at the two of them with blazing eyes. "Do you want to change your tactics?"

"Change!" The two glanced at each other, if it was the same as before, even if His Highness gave a direct order, they would not agree. How can something as fundamental as tactics be easily changed?

But in the process of moving from the inland water army to the navy, they encountered a painful defeat, and with the eagerness to save people, they finally decided to take a difficult step.

The two nodded heavily and said: "If you don't change or lose, it's better to fight and win!" ”

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled with satisfaction.

"It's just Your Highness, where are we going to get so many artillery?" Yu Tongyuan mentioned another practical problem.

"Yes, in this case, the artillery needed will be lost." Liao Dingguo was also worried.

"Don't worry, this king has already made arrangements." The sixth man smug himself and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Yes." The two had no choice but to keep the doubt in their hearts.
