The new right general Shang Liao promised the Dragon King that he would sweep the Xiaoyao Sea within half a month, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and after a few days in office, he didn't even go to inspect the navy under his command, but instead selected a large number of craftsmen from among the soldiers to create secret weapons behind closed doors.

This is one of the theories, the other is that he secretly set up an altar, intending to ask the gods to come down to help him, and the ill-intentioned speculation is that General Right is wasting half a month of the Dragon Army's time so that the Jinpeng Army can calmly build bridges.

Gu Shenwei couldn't be indifferent to this, although he gave Kang Wang Shangliao complete trust on the surface, in fact, he had been secretly observing his words and deeds.

The rumors were somewhat exaggerated, and although Shang Liao had never checked on the navy, he had to summon the generals every day, inquire carefully about the situation, and give extremely detailed orders.

Shang Liao was not much more expensive, and he cut out more than half of the old and unqualified ships, and kept only about fifty, each with thirty to fifty oarsmen, and the same number of soldiers, and it was under his orders that all ships were working overtime to carry out reforms.

The bow of the ship was covered with iron sheets to facilitate collisions, which showed that Shang Liao did know a little about water warfare, but his other measure made many of his subordinates scratch their heads.

The ten best ships of the whole navy were each equipped with a new set of weapons, such as siege catapults, but they were much smaller, and it took a lot of effort to attach them to the hull.

In the face of the dragon king, several naval generals were very unanimous in their opinions: the probability of hitting the enemy ship with the stones thrown by this thing was about the same as shooting a mosquito with a bow and crossbow a hundred paces away.

If this is the magic weapon that the right general relies on to win, there is not much confidence left, and a outspoken general said to the dragon king: "There is no need for these tricks, we have more ships, and the enemy ships are few, so it is much more effective than rushing over and letting the soldiers settle the battle with their swords." ”

Gu Shenwei's confidence is also declining, but he doesn't show it in front of everyone.

Why did he reuse Shang Liao? Because of the recommendation of Prince Kang before his death, the prince knew that he was being used by Shangguan Yun, but he still believed that Shang Liao would be the person who turned things around, which was Gu Shenwei's greatest source of confidence.

The secondary but not unimportant reason is Shang Liao himself, the unattractive King Kang, who has a surprising bearing in his conversation, and even the Dragon King, who knows countless people, is also impressed.

Gu Shenwei hoped that Prince Kang would know more about Shang Liao, a son of the same clan, than himself.

On the fifth day of Shang Liao's tenure, when he sent someone to invite the Dragon King, Gu Shenwei immediately went to know what General Right was doing these days.

Shang Liao's workshop was located in a remote place outside the capital, and there were no homes within a radius of several miles.

Gu Shen surrounded the workshop for a guard of hundreds of people, and after Long Chuanyun went in to check it in person, he invited the Dragon King in.

This is not what he is arrasing, as soon as the war began, the Jinpeng killers were active, relying on the strict defense of many sentry posts, Xiaoyuetang disciples and killer apprentices, to keep the assassination out of the barracks.

The Jinpeng killer is full of tricks, and even if Shang Liao is loyal, he may be inadvertently used.

Long before Nandu, the Dragon King's guard standards had been upgraded, and at any given moment, he was surrounded by at least two hundred guards, and Gu Shen couldn't sneak out anymore.

Shang Liao's most important purpose in inviting the Dragon King was not to show his strength, but to make a request, "There is one thing that is very troublesome. ”

"Say it, I'll try to solve it. ”

"The intelligence brought back by the spies said that more than 30 warships of the Jinpeng Army were cowering in the fjord, trying their best to protect the bridge, and it seemed that they would not come out to fight. ”

"Hmm. Gu Shenwei had already seen this information.

"The trouble is that the enemy ships are too close to the shore, and if our ships rush over, they will be fired upon by the archers on the shore. ”

There was a map of the Xiaoyao Sea in front of him, and Gu Shenwei pointed to the narrow lake in the westernmost part, "The task of the navy army is not to destroy the bridge, but to bypass it from here and attack the Jinpeng army that smuggled on the south bank, there are only more than 500 people." ”

Before the river was formed, the north bank was a high mountain, which was originally a natural barrier, but with the help of Huiguo, the unfinished work was being quickly completed, and a wide road was carved out to reach the lake.

A little east of the southern shore is a flat, narrow area where Jinpeng soldiers who have smuggled across the sea are stationed, erecting obstacles to prevent the dragons from approaching the unfinished bridge from land.

Dugu Xian had already sent troops to attack the tidal flat position, but because of the cramped place, he couldn't give full play to the advantage of numbers.

However, the navy can easily go around the flank and attack.

This was a simple plan, but Shang Liao shook his head with a smile, "The Dragon King doesn't know, the Jinpeng Army's warships and the enemy army on the south bank are each other's horns, and the attacking side will be counterattacked by the other, those ships are now shrinking and not moving, if our army is ready to land, they will definitely come out." ”

Gu Shenwei understood what Shang Liao meant, and the most direct solution was to send more warships to fight on two fronts, but that water area could not accommodate hundreds of ships at all, and once trapped, it would become a target for archers on the shore.

"You want to lure the enemy ship into battle?"

"It's not me, it's the Dragon King, and I'm only responsible for making a plan to destroy the enemy. ”

Gu Shenwei doubted his choice again, so he didn't speak, he was thinking, if he didn't count the casualties, he could send a large number of ships to crowd the waters on the west side of the Xiaoyao Sea, as long as he took the enemy position on the south bank, he could destroy the bridge across the sea, forcing the Jinpeng army to only transport soldiers in batches.

In this way, all the sacrifices are worth it.

Shang Liao was still confident in persuading the Dragon King, "The Dragon King, please." ”

General Right is about to reveal his secret weapon, and he used it to completely convince Prince Kang in the first place.

The houses in the backyard had been demolished, and several craftsmen were already waiting there, with three round objects beside them, like lacquered animal stomach pouches, filled with liquid.

"With such a thing, it would be a waste of precious troops to compete with knives and guns. ”

Shang Liao nodded, and the three craftsmen first bowed to the Dragon King, and then held a round bag in each hand and placed it in the middle of the courtyard, dozens of steps away from everyone.

"Is the dragon king good at bows?"

"It's fine. ”

Another craftsman sent a bow and an arrow.

The bow is normal, but the arrows are a bit peculiar, there are no clusters of arrows, instead of a mass of cotton cloth soaked in oil.

This is a rocket.

After Gu Shenwei set it up, the craftsman held the velvet in his hand and bent down to light the arrowhead.

The distance is not too far, Gu Shenwei aimed slightly, and shot an arrow.

"The Dragon King is really a marksman. Shang Liao sighed, and the smile on his face showed that he would also pat himself when necessary.

Gu Shenwei had already guessed what was in the capsule, but the effect was still surprising to him, after the capsule was shot, the flames rose into the sky, and a large number of sparks scattered on the ground, detonating the other two capsules, the intense flames continued to be extinguished, covering a large area, and the heat could be felt from afar.

"That's what you want Black Fire Oil for?"

Black fire oil is one of the specialties of Xiaoyaohai, it is available in many places, Gu Shenwei once used it to scare Shangguan Jianyi, and indeed has a lot of reserves, intended to be used to block the enemy cavalry, but most of them were asked by Shang Liao.

"Black fire oil is flammable, but the effect is not so good, you have to add a lot of things, and the proportion has to be accurate, this is a secret technique from abroad, Beiting and the Central Plains do not have it, I call it 'fierce fire bomb'. Shang Liao was a little excited, pointing to the fire that was still burning, "Imagine the dragon king, more and more extensive flames, it also has many wonderful points, I can't show them all." ”

Gu Shenwei could only say that he had a little more confidence, "How are you going to throw this thing on the enemy ship?"

"I have my own magic method, the specific details, or if I don't say it for the time being, no one can guarantee that there are no spies from Jinpeng Castle here, all in all, if the Dragon King has a way to lure the enemy ship out, I promise to wipe it out, as many as possible. ”

Gu Shenwei pondered for a while, "Wait for my news." ”

"The day after tomorrow, I will lead the army to the battle, and I hope the Dragon King can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded.

The fire bomb is a new situation, and Gu Shen has to think about its usefulness, but it is just a useless technology.

Gu Shenwei rode out of the workshop, and began to imagine all kinds of possibilities, but in the end he couldn't get around the projection problem, when the cavalry charged, the good archer only had time to shoot three or four rounds at an effective distance, and things like fierce fire bullets could only be thrown once.

Shang Liao still has to hide the strength of the fierce fire bomb, maybe the enemy ship in the west of the sea can let him show the whole truth, only the actual battle is the most reliable test.

In this way, it is still necessary to find a way to lure out dozens of warships of the Jinpeng Army.

It's time to use Shangguan Fei.

Although the experiment of "three skills in one" has not yet achieved perfect results, Gu Shenwei feels that it is almost over, as long as the two great divine skills do not conflict, there is a way to fuse them, and there is no need to train Shangguan Fei to become a master.

As the sons of Dubu Wang, Shangguan Fei and Shangguan Hong's role in the Dragon Army is not only to embarrass their father, Gu Shen has to make them pay a huge price in order to save their lives, both of them have done some things before, but it is far from enough.

Shangguan Fei lived in a secluded house in the city, and the Dutch girl came over three times a day to supervise his practice.

When Gu Shenwei arrived with the guards, the lotus girl had not yet come.

Shangguan Fei was obviously surprised by the presence of the Dragon King, and used exaggerated enthusiasm to cover it up, "It's an honor for the Dragon King to come, I said that when I got up this morning, I vaguely felt that something was going to happen." Don't worry, Dragon King, I'm practicing, the strict master produces a high apprentice, the Dragon King and the Lotus Girl are both strict masters, if I don't become a high apprentice, I'm really sorry for your hard work. ”

Shangguan Fei's cover-up was actually very successful, and what made him reveal was another thing.

"Have you ever competed with Chu Nanping again?"

"Uh, no, hehe, I'm not in a hurry, people have to be self-aware, I know that I am still a little short of ......"

This is not Shangguan Fei's character, in Gu Shenwei's impression, Shangguan Fei can come up with four or five tricks to defeat Chu Nanping in one night, and he doesn't even try, that is, he is hiding a bigger trick.

"You haven't practiced for a few days?" asked Gu Shenwei.

Shangguan Fei's face changed suddenly.
