Most of the rocket artillery equipped by the navy were heavy rocket artillery, weighing more than 60 catties, and a rocket shell fell into a Fuzhou naval division warship that rushed up, and actually broke the opponent's ship at the waist and slowly sank into the sea.

It stands to reason that if this were a Western warship, it would never have been hit by a single rocket launcher and would have been broken in two.

Taking the British Navy as an example, the requirement for warships is to be able to carry more than 30 pounds of solid artillery shells within a few tens of meters, which is very strong, and the rocket artillery with a much worse intrusion force than solid artillery shells will fall on the hull of British warships, and will even eject back, and it is absolutely impossible to have the brilliant result of sinking a ship with a single shell.

However, most of the ships of the Chinese sailors are traditional hard sailing ships, and the hull connection is mostly made of wooden tenon structure, and the keel is not strong, so there will be a situation where rocket artillery shells can sink a ship.

To say a cold knowledge, the first Chinese warship sunk by the British in the Opium War was sunk by a rocket shell, and it was also a shell that cut off the hull of the ship lazily and directly lost its combat ability and mobility.

At this time, the Chinese sailors also used the ancient tactic of jumping gangs, preferring to rush desperately in front of them and then jump to fight rather than attacking with long-range artillery shots, which was also reflected many times in the Opium War, and many British officers expressed surprise in their post-war diaries.

Li Xian also used gang-jumping tactics, but he never used them in frontal combat, but took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to carry out a sneak attack, or create various conditions to get close to the enemy's warship, and then send a monk with strong martial arts to jump over and suppress it, which was very different from the reckless attack method of the Fujian sailors.

Seeing the warships more than ten times larger than his own rushing over, Qiao Daqing was not willing to fight hard, and commanded the fleet to retreat slowly, destroying the enemy who was too close little by little in the process.

According to Qiao Daqing's original intention, he wanted to lure the enemy to the ocean, and then use the vast space to grind the enemy to death little by little.

After the fleet of the Huaxia Army opened up the distance, the Fujian Navy Division turned around and returned to Fuzhou, but there was no desperate posture at all.

After returning to Fuzhou, the Fujian Navy Division trumpeted the results of this battle, and also told the court that on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, the Fujian Navy Division attacked the rebel Navy Division, and forced the enemy army with absolute superiority in numbers to retreat under the orders of the officers and soldiers, and also sank and damaged many ships.

In fact, according to the actual battle situation, the Huaxia Navy did not lose a single ship, but sank seven or eight enemy ships, and the results of the battle were quite impressive, but it was impossible to say anything about being smeared like this.

"These bastards!" Qiao Daqing intercepted some officials' requests for merit reported to the court through various channels, and some of them couldn't laugh or cry, but they were helpless.

"The Fujian sailors are getting more and more slippery, but we have to think of some good ways. Navy Commander Hu Chong said thoughtfully.

Yes, everyone is not mistaken, the naval commander appointed by Li Xian is Hu Chong, that is, one of the big treasurers of the Thirteen Foreign Banks who entered the Huaxia military system with Zhang Sicheng, and he has no experience in commanding operations before.

A few years ago, when Li Xian founded the navy, everything really started from scratch, there were no suitable officers, no suitable captains, and no suitable naval commanders.

In this case, everything about the Navy is easy to criticize.

First of all, the commander of the navy, that is, the nominal commander-in-chief Hu Chong, was originally just the shopkeeper of the Thirteen Elements Wu family, and he had no military experience, nor was he a descendant of Li Xian.

Li Xian himself also felt that Hu Chong was not particularly suitable to be the commander of the navy, but he had a hard time.

What he wants to build is a modern navy with ocean-going combat capabilities, rather than the traditional river navy or coastal naval divisions, and there is a great shortage of talents in this area.

Neither the Mixed Yuan Sect nor the Sanyuan Sect had a qualified captain who could command a ship thousands of miles away and come back safely, let alone command several ships to form a fleet and perform various complex combat missions during the voyage.

In comparison, it is easier to solve the problem of warships, whether it is to buy or build, there is a channel at all.

In the entire Huaxia Army sequence, or the entire crowd in Guangzhou, only the big shopkeepers of large merchants such as the Thirteen Oceans have the ability to command the fleet to reach the ocean and return safely.

This Hu Chong is only a business shopkeeper, but in his early years, he was the captain of an ocean-going merchant ship of the Wu family, and later led the fleet to the South Seas or Japan many times to do business, which is one of the few talents with professional skills close to that of a naval commander.

In fact, Hu Chong was more surprised than anyone else to know that he had been appointed commander of the navy, and he had to resign many times, and finally insisted on it only after Li Xian's kind words.

After that, Hu Chong recruited familiar or well-known captains and experienced sailors from various merchants in the Thirteen Lines through his connections, and finally built the skeleton of the navy.

In comparison, it is not easy for Qiao Daqing to become the commander of the Marine Corps.

Qiao Daqing was originally the nominal commander of the mercenary group, leading the original five hundred boat gang members of the Huashan faction, and the members of the Lin family led by Lin Pingzhi and Yang Tianming's demon sect members to jointly build the mercenary group, and he also had many beautiful achievements.

It's just that later, the Huaxia Army divided the princes, Yang Tianming led his subordinates to Qinzhou to develop, and the Lin family and Huashan faction went to Yazhou together, and this mercenary group existed in name only.

However, with the ability and spirit of Qiao Daqing and others, they were naturally unwilling to stick to Yazhou, which was a big palm, and later it happened that Qiao Daqing, Ling Huzhan, Lin Pingzhi and other three people led fifty capable disciples of the two families to join the Huaxia Army to fight in sequence.

From a soldier to a regular army general, there is more than just a name change.

There have always been rumors on the rivers and lakes that Li Xian agreed to the Huashan faction and the Lin family to take charge of Yazhou, on the condition that the young disciples of these two families officially join the army to do things.

In short, the matter of these fifty disciples changing Yazhou was widely spread below, and the parties concerned neither admitted nor denied it.

Li Xian has always felt that there are too few people available under him, and he wants to recruit more talents to come in, so he naturally welcomes Qiao Daqing and others to join.

However, after Qiao Daqing and other warriors officially joined the army, their identities were a little embarrassing.

Taking Qiao Daqing as an example, he was originally the head disciple of the Huashan Sect Qi Sect, and he has been cultivated as a martial arts seed and leader since he was a child.

Don't look at Qiao Daqing's usual appearance of a rough man, in fact, his knowledge is good, at least it's no problem to take a show, plus martial arts are the best among contemporary young disciples, which can be called both civil and military.
