Chapter 231: Warship

"Where is the White Car Battalion?"

The herald shouted at the port, holding a roster of bamboo slips in his hand.

"Here, here!"

Qin Zhen hurriedly raised his hand.

After showing his identity token as a protector, the herald pointed to several ships docked in the corner, and said in a deep voice: "The ships over there belong to yours, and the people on board will send you to the designated location, so hurry up and board the ship." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the herald's finger, and saw several tattered sea ships docked on the shore, which was obviously more dilapidated than other ships, which made Chen Shu and the others who went to sea for the first time feel nervous.

"I said brother, can you get a few new ones? I look at that thing and I'm going to sink it! ”

The herald glanced at Chen Shu, and said angrily: "Who are you when you are?" If you want to change it, you can change it? A ragtag army, it would be nice to have a ship to carry you there! Do you know how short there is a shortage of seagoing vessels? Got you a new one? The sailor hasn't updated the ship for three years, and who wouldn't want to take a new one? ”

Chen Shu was anxious: "You can't say that, we are going to fight Haikou, how unjust it would be if we died at sea in the middle of the road!" ”

As a simple northern man, he has a natural fear of the endless sea.

You let him gallop through the desert on horseback, without fear at all! But if your feet are off the land, your heart will always be empty.

Qin Zhen persuaded Chen Shu, arched his hand at the herald, and led the people towards the broken ships.

"Zhen'er, you can't do this! The sea is unpredictable, this ship is our net worth, so we have to have a few good ships, right? Chen Shu's face darkened, and he was about to turn back and talk to the herald.

"One person is a soldier, what do you have to talk to him?" Qin Zhen sighed.

The Great Shang Naval Division had only been established for ten years, and the shipbuilding industry was only in its infancy, and most of the warships used were captured from the enemy. Although the warships developed and manufactured by themselves can barely meet the needs of coastal cruises, few ships can cross the ocean.

As far as the elite trump cards under the command of the generals are liked, they are still using the kind of sea ships made by the sea coars.

It was not that the broken ships were maliciously assigned to Qin Town, but that the entire Great Shang Naval Division did not have a few good ships, and the few ships assigned to Qin Town happened to be more broken.

"See Lord Protector!"

The bows of several ships came to meet them.

Except for the standing elite combat units that have special ship divisions to drive sea ships, other units usually do not have sea ships, let alone have their own ship divisions, but usually adopt a rotation system, and each time they go out on a mission, they are temporarily assigned ships and ship divisions.

In other words, most of the sailors were only responsible for fighting the war, not for sailing the boats.

"You ship...... Is it stable? Chen Shu couldn't help but ask.

"This lord just rest assured, our ship was captured during the Shang Evil Naval War, and it has gone through no less than a hundred battles so far, and it can't be stable!" One of the elderly bows of the boat said proudly: "I won't tell you that in the past, when the Marquis of Zhenguo fought the devils of the evil platform, they all took our boat!" ”

Listening to the bow of the ship telling the glorious past of these ships, I don't know why Qin Zhen and the others became more and more bottomless in their hearts.

"Ten years old on this ship?" Shanhai's complexion changed slightly, he looked back at Zhao Yu with a solemn face, and said in a low voice: "Isn't the boat this thing worse the older it gets?" ”

"I don't know." Zhao Yu said as few words as always, but his eyes were obviously full of caution.

In the distance, there was a long thunder drum sound.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's urging over there, let's get on the boat first, right?"

Qin Zhen gave an order.

The 500 soldiers of the White Car Battalion immediately boarded the ship.

"Gross!"

Not long after he got on the boat, Chen Shu was not very good.

"It's just that you can't swim, and you're still seasick?" Qin Zhen patted his back with a pouting as he found a white bulging gadget on his chest.

"Contemptible...... Not good at water-based ......" Chen Shu vomited a mess.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has gone to the sea, and it is sour and wonderful.

He looked at the white leather drum around his chest and asked, "What is this?" ”

"A lifebuoy made of lard skin."

Qin Zhen tied Chen Shu tightly.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, although Qin Zhen considered the various situations that the naval battle might face and made preparations in advance, it was a little hasty after all. Like the lifebuoys used for escape, only a few dozen of them were prepared, which could barely meet the needs of the troops, so that those who were not good at water like Chen Shu could have a chance to survive.

"Does this thing work?" Wearing a fat lifebuoy, Chen Shu felt like a fool.

"It's not easy to use, but it's better than nothing." Qin Zhen made no secret of the low usability of this thing.

This thing can really make you float in the sea, but you can't resist the impact of the waves, and if you can't make sure that a wave hits down, it will break, but it's better than nothing.

"Don't you use it?" Chen Shu looked at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "I'm okay with water." ”

It's not a thousand sails.

More than 200 ships were used in this operation, and it was quite spectacular at first sight. It takes courage and courage to sail out into the ocean, and the raging waves rush one after another, and the howling wind envelops the waves as if to tear the ship apart.

Many people's faces were filled with unease and apprehension.

For the old people of many small fishing villages in the White Car Camp, this is the first time they have left the land and stepped out to sea.

Looking at the harbor that was gradually moving away, one thing was clear in everyone's hearts.

They have truly become a member of the Great Business Water Division.

"Gross!"

Chen Shu sat in the cabin with a pale face, holding a wooden barrel and vomiting all kinds of meat and vegetables.

In comparison, Zhao Yu's condition is much better.

Not only can you walk around the boat at will, but you can also jump up and down and brag about it.

"Shanhai, take a few people with me to the cabin and see how those bows are going." Qin Zhen said in a deep voice: "Although we don't have a boat, we must know how to use this thing." ”

He also wanted to find an opportunity to grab a few sea boats on Rakshasa Reef and sail back to Deep Water Bay.

"Understood!"

Shanhai immediately ordered a few clever brothers to follow out.

The bow of the boat, which was sailing, saw the arrival of Qin Zhen and the others, and showed a smile of understanding, and did not stop it, but let Shanhai and the others observe at will.

They have seen such things all the time, and every time people from major battalions come to watch, just to learn how to drive a boat. According to the rules, other battalions could not have fixed boats, but it was not said that they could not learn how to drive boats, so these bows were left to their own devices.

After all, they only drove boats, and if they really started a war, they still had to rely on these soldiers, right?

Especially after Qin Zhen handed out a few pieces of silver without hesitation.

The old bow of the old ship from before even took the initiative to greet him and asked Qin Zhen.

"Official, if there is anything you don't understand, just say it, and I'll explain it to you."
