Zhao Xuhai said: "While they turned behind the defense, the ships of the 'Wanjintang' rushed up, and they would definitely be able to kill them by surprise!"

At this time, more than 20 ships of Okura Castle had sailed to a place three or four miles away from the water village and were within the range of artillery. Just because there were no lights on the ships, there was no sign of artillery firing in the water village, and it must have been unnoticed.

The "Golden Jade" was slower, and was already far behind the ships rushing ahead.

From the rear of the water village, there was a constant rumbling of cannons, and from time to time there were fires rising into the sky, obviously the Cantonese naval division and the pirate ships had begun to fire artillery at each other.

At this time, Bai Yiling, who was next to him, suddenly spoke: "Master Gongzi, look, those pirate ships around the water village are tall and short, it's really strange. ”

Hua Bushi is not proficient in water warfare, but after listening to Bai Yiling's words, he also noticed that many ships sailing out of the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace" seem to be scattered on the sea surface at first glance, but in fact, they are tall and orderly, and they are surrounded by layers around the water village, not randomly moored.

The eldest young master couldn't help frowning, and said to Zhao Xuhai: "As a general of the imperial court, Mr. Zhao Qian is well-informed, can he see that there is a mystery in the arrangement of the other party's ships?"

Zhao Xuhai narrowed his eyes and looked at the ships outside the water village for a long time before he said: "These ships are indeed a little extraordinary, they look a bit like the legendary 'Thousand Scales Water Array', could it be that there are still masters who are proficient in formations among the pirates?"

The so-called battle formation is the method of attacking and killing by arranging the soldiers in the army.

Whenever a large army fights, it must be discharged in formation, just because if there are only three or five people, or more than a dozen people fighting, they may be able to rush together and fight in a chaotic manner, but in a large-scale battle of hundreds or thousands of people, the troops who advance and retreat and attack and kill in an orderly manner are much stronger than scattered armies that are completely disorderly and only know how to fight.

The famous generals and divisions throughout the ages are all proficient in marching formations, and some of the formations they have laid are also famous all over the world and have a long history. Among them, the most praised is that it is the gossip array of Zhuge Wuhou when it belongs to the Three Kingdoms.

Although the battle formation in the army and the combined attack formation in the martial arts are different, there are also interconnections, Hua Bushi also knows some about various battle formations, but they are all land formations, but he has no involvement in the naval battle formation, and he has never heard of the "Thousand Scales Water Array".

Zhao Xuhai talked about the "Thousand Scales Water Array", and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, if the pirates are really this kind of water array, the ships we are waiting for rush forward will definitely suffer!"

But at this time, the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace" was magnificent, and many silver scales suddenly appeared on the pirate ships, shining. These lights shone on the sea around the water village, and the unlit lights on the ships of Okura Castle were originally in darkness, but at this moment they were immediately exposed to the light of the silver scales.

Looking closely, Hua Bushi has seen that those so-called silver scales are actually many silver-plated mirrors. Ordinary lights can't reach far, and the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" use this way of refracting light to visit the sea around the water village.

The eldest young master's face changed, and he said to Sima Rulan: "Miss Lan'er, hurry up and give an order to all our ships to turn back!"

The ship in front had rushed within range of the pirate ship, and the target had been exposed, and the situation was already very dangerous. Sima Rulan immediately ordered the gang to pass the order to the ships to retreat quickly.

Passing a message on the sea, the flag can be used during the day, but now it is night, and the only way to do it is to use lights instead of the flag. A disciple of the "Wanjin Hall" lit two lanterns, stood on a high place and waved them, and transmitted the instructions.

Dozens of ships in Okura Castle immediately turned their rudders and retreated, and when the roar sounded, it was the water village of the "Black Dragon Palace" that had begun to attack. Dozens of pirate ships scattered across the sea began to fire artillery almost at the same moment, and the three clippers that had rushed to the front had no time to retreat, and they were instantly hit under the dense incoming shells.

I wanted to get close to the pirate's water village for a surprise attack, but I didn't expect the other party to discharge the "Thousand Scales Water Array", not only has a way to survey the surrounding sea, but the defense can be said to be extremely tight, and the ships of Okura Castle have lost three ships before they get close, which is tantamount to a blow to the head.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuhai luckily recognized the formation laid out by the other party, Hua Bushi saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately asked Sima Rulan to give the order to retreat, so that the other ships could turn around and come back in time, and there were no more losses.

Sima Rulan saw that the three ships that were hit had sunk into the seawater, the knuckles of the plain fingers holding the hilt of the sword turned white, and there were almost sparks in her beautiful eyes.

Hua Bushi also frowned, and said: "Among the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace', there must be masters who are proficient in naval warfare, and we are waiting for us to take the bait, we really underestimate the other party's scheming, it seems that the original method of internal and external attack is no longer feasible!"

Sima Rulan said: "The internal and external attacks were originally set by Cao Duyun, and the sailors of the Guangdong realm raided from behind the water village, but it is better not to fall for the pirates' tricks and fail!"

Zhao Xuhai said: "This 'Thousand Scales Water Array' is the water battle formation used by the thieves of the Japanese Kingdom in the past, and Zhao's qualifications are too shallow, so he has only heard of this formation, but he has never seen it with his own eyes." However, General Shi of Nantou Zhai in Guangzhou and General Lu of Beijin Zhai in Zhaoqing both participated in the naval battle between Luliang Island and the Wa Kingdom that year, and they will definitely know this formation. They led the ships of the naval division to attack from the rear of the large array, and even if there were some losses under the failure to respond, the defeat of the plan would not be achieved. ”

Hua Bushi said: "In this way, among the pirates of this 'Black Dragon Palace', there are even widows?"

Sima Rulan said: "Legend has it that the Black Dragon King is a Han Chinese, and I don't know if any of his pirates have joined the pirates. ”

At this time, the ships of Okura Castle had turned around and were out of range of the pirate ship's guns, and the "Golden Jade" had already anchored on the sea and was no longer moving forward. On the sea in front of a few miles, hundreds of "silver scales" illuminated it clearly, and the formation of the pirate ships in the "Black Dragon Palace" water village could also be seen clearly on the "Golden Jade".

The "Thousand Scales Water Array" is like a castle towering on the sea, and the tallest ships in the middle of the large array are the five giant shark warships that have reached more than four zhang out of the water, and next to them are more than 20 building ships more than three zhang high, and then there are medium-sized loach ships and sea falcon ships, each with as many as forty or fifty ships, and the outermost outermost ships are small eagle ships and centipede boats.

These ships are all sideways outward, with rows of gun holes exposed on the sides, and as the ships float on the water, the "Thousand Scales Array" is also slowly turning.

The staggered arrangement of these stars is clearly a hidden order, and it is laid out according to the range of firepower of each ship. The entire "Thousand Scales Water Array" is like a big net, if the opposing ships approach, they will be immediately bombarded by all the guns on dozens of ships, and the periphery is protected by centipede ships and eagle ships that are good at close combat, which is even more foolproof.

On the opposite side of such a large array, it is absolutely impossible to get close to the strong attack, especially the ships of Okura Castle are already short of gunpowder, only giant crossbows and bows and arrows can be used for long-range attacks, and the range is not far, if you force yourself to rush over, I am afraid that before you can sail to the front of the formation, you will all be sunk by the artillery in the opponent's large array.

Hua Bushi said to Zhao Xuhai: "This 'Thousand Scales Water Array' seems to be really powerful, I don't know if there will be a way to crack it?"

Zhao Xuhai said: "Of course, there is a way to crack it, when the Chaolu War was in the past, the thieves also set up this formation on the sea, and Zuihou was not defeated by my Daming Sailor." It is said that in order to break this formation, you must use the 'method of scaling'!"

Hua Bushi said: "I don't know what this 'method of scaling' is?"

Zhao Xuhai said: "The so-called scaling is to slowly cut off the scales of this array, and when the fish scales are shaved, this large array will be broken." Young Master Hua, look, on the sea over there, the sailors of the Yue Realm have called!"

Following the direction of this Zhao Qianzong's finger, Hua Bushi raised his eyes and saw that on the sea on the side of the "Thousand Scales Water Array", many battleship sails had been revealed, which were the ships of the Daming Naval Division. The fleet commanded by Cao Duyun and Shen Youlong did not directly rush the "Thousand Scales Water Array", but turned to the side and bypassed the side of the large array.

The fleet of the naval division was about three miles away from the big array, just on the edge of the range of the ship's guns, and the ships were sailing at full speed while firing at each other with the pirate ships, only to see the fire surging, the cannon rumbling, and the shells of both sides fell into the water, splashing rows of water on the surface of the sea!

Hua Bushi immediately understood what Zhao Xuhai meant by the "method of cutting scales".

Just because the defense of the "Thousand Scales Water Array" is too tight, if it directly rushes into the formation, it will not only become the target of the artillery salvo of dozens of pirate ships, but also the artillery on the side of the ship is not easy to aim and fire back, which is extremely unfavorable. The feasible countermeasure is to have the fleet around the perimeter and constantly attack the pirate ships on the edge of the large array, as if using a steel knife, turning and cutting obliquely, slowly removing the scales of the fish layer by layer.

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "It turns out that this is the 'method of cutting scales', and it is indeed a feasible way to break the formation." It's just that it is not easy to attack from the periphery one by one, and I am afraid that even if this formation can be broken, it will have to lose a lot of ships. ”

Zhao Xuhai said: "In this kind of sea battle, the loss of some ships is inevitable, I think that outside Luliang Island, my Ming Navy Division once annihilated more than 300 ships of the Japanese State, and killed tens of thousands of Japanese thieves, using this kind of tactics!"

For hundreds of years, the Japanese have been invading the coastal villages and towns of various borders, and they are the great enemies of the Ming official army, and the naval battle of Luliang Island is a great victory of the Ming naval division, which once wiped out the naval fleet of the Japanese State.

But at this time, I only heard someone say: "What 'scaling method' is just a stupid method, what can you be proud of!"

Zhao Xuhai turned his face to look, but saw that the person who spoke was Peng San.
