Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 420 New Tactics

But out of respect for His Highness, the two still put on a gesture of willingness to hear more about it.

"What do you think of the cannon?" Zhu Zhen asked first.

"Splendid." Liao Dingguo said roughly: "When the cannon is fired, the mountains shake and the ground shakes. When you meet a timid enemy, you will be scared out of your wits."

"It must be more powerful than bows and arrows." Yu Tongyuan nodded and said, "Especially in naval battles, sometimes a single cannonball can dig a hole in an enemy ship. The power is incredible! It's a pity that there are too few hits... "

"Then install a few more cannons, a miracle will happen if there is a large quantity! My king has seen your naval battles and your training, and found that although you are equipped with cannons, the number is too small to be of much use." Zhu Zhen asked again.

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

"Why not put it on the side? It's much more spacious than the bow." His Royal Highness King Chu laughed.

"Sideside?" The two couldn't turn the corner for a while and asked, "Then how do you fire? The rear doesn't hit the front?"

"That's why I asked you to confront the enemy sideways." Zhu Zhen was also convinced by the understanding of these two guys.

"Hiss..." The two were a little confused, and hurriedly apologized: "Your Highness, let us smooth it out first..."

"As long as you two have brains, you may not be able to stroke until dark." King Chu waved his hand, and Gao Tie brought a few trays to the two of them.

In the tray is not food, but some model boats.Since the Tang Dynasty, boat workers have made a ship model of the same proportion before building a ship, so that the ship owner can understand the ship shape, test the advantages of the ship shape, and determine the dimensions of various parts.

This is one of the magic weapons for the rapid advancement of my country's shipbuilding technology, and Bao Shipyard has naturally passed it down.

Yu Tongyuan and Yu Tongyuan had just seen Zuotang, so they could naturally recognize the models of those warships in front of them.

But different from the real thing, the two sides of these models are full of artillery.

On the two largest battleships of 24 materials, sixteen cannons were placed on one side of the ship.In addition to the four cannons on each side of the forecastle and stern, the total number of guns on one side is 48, and the total number of guns on both sides is [-].

On the two-thousand-material battleship, there are sixteen cannons placed on one side, a total of 32 guns on both sides.

With the real thing, it is much more intuitive. It turns out that the muzzle is facing outward.

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

"With ten warships facing the enemy broadside, there are 170 six cannons that can fire at the same time, and the power has increased by more than several times?" Liao Dingguo did not have as much fuss as Yu Tongyuan, and thought seriously:

"If there are enemy troops on both sides like last time, and two 350 cannons can fire at the same time, the scene must be extremely spectacular..."

"Fuck, it's true!" Yu Tongyuan was also aroused by the scene described by Liao Dingguo.I can't wait to turn this unprecedented feat into reality immediately.

"It's very rare to fire from both sides. Most of the time, only one side should fire." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Because this kind of tactics requires a lot of formation, you have to maintain a long snake formation at all times in order to exert the firepower of all warships. .”

"Long Snake Formation? Really!" The two of them were worthy of being experienced navy generals, and instantly understood what His Highness meant.

"Come on, I'll teach you another game of war chess!" Zhu Zhen ordered the cups and trays to be removed, and placed the models on the table, connecting them end to end to form a line.

Let the two manipulate another part of the model to simulate the enemy's attack.Now the power of the broadside artillery and the long snake array is clear at a glance.

No matter how the two of them manipulated the warship, they were always under the concentrated attack of Zhu Zhen's broadside firepower.Both of them are veteran generals, so they naturally know what kind of damage this amount of artillery can cause.

After discussing with each other, the two changed their tactics and approached each other in a scattered formation. Zhu Zhen's fleet then marched northeastward, keeping a distance from them all the time.

This was what the two of them expected in advance. As long as they endured a certain loss, they could force the other party to lose range, and finally formed a tail-to-tail chase scene.

But what was unexpected was that His Highness's long snake formation suddenly turned west one by one in the distance, kept perpendicular to them again, and hit them with firepower from the other side.

In this way, Zhu Zhen's fleet kept turning in a zigzag shape, keeping a distance from them all the time, and attacking them with firepower from both sides in turn.

The fleet of the two men was wiped out without even touching the hair again.

After seeing it so well, the two of them paid attention to His Highness's new tactics.

"Your Highness is a fucking genius..." Liao Dingguo realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly apologized.

"That's all." Zhu Zhen was in a good mood and said without fussing with him: "Is this method of warfare still useful?"

"It's useful, it's definitely useful." Both of them were knowledgeable, nodded vigorously and said: "This kind of warfare like flying a kite is quite similar to the Mongolian Manguzai warfare. It can be invincible, slowly consume the enemy to death."

"But our enemies are pirates. Their biggest characteristic is that they turn around and run away when they see a bad situation." Liao Dingguo thought more deeply, "Your Highness's style of warfare is not conducive to pursuit."

"Don't be afraid of chasing, a long snake rushes up, bayonet on the cannon." Lao Liu said, pushing the battleship into the enemy's line, and shouted loudly: "In this way, when someone else joins the board, we will use the artillery to fight the bayonet! Only when the output is close to the face Extreme damage!"

"Really, there is no need to turn around like this." The two were immediately overjoyed, obviously this kind of tactics was more to their liking.

Normally, naval battles in this era are still mainly boarding and hand-to-hand combat, relying on courage and close combat ability.When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, regardless of arms.

So they prefer the latter method of bravery.

Zhu Zhen struck while the iron was hot again, explaining to them various naval battle essentials he learned from a certain game, such as 'grab the upper hand' and 'Ding Zitou', which made their blood boil!

"Have you decided?" His Highness looked at the two with piercing eyes. "Do you want to change your tactics?"

"Change!" The two looked at each other. If it was changed from the past, even if His Highness gave orders directly, they would not agree.How could such a fundamental thing as tactics be easily changed?

But in the process of turning from the inland water army to the navy, they encountered a disastrous failure, coupled with their eagerness to save people, they finally decided to take a difficult step.

The two nodded heavily and said: "If you don't change, you will still lose. Why don't you give it a try and win by surprise!"

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision." His Royal Highness King Chu showed a satisfied smile.

"It's just Your Highness, where can we get so many cannons?" Yu Tongyuan asked another practical question.

"That's right, if that's the case, all the artillery needed will be lost." Liao Dingguo also said worriedly.

"Don't worry, the king has already made arrangements." The sixth child said complacently, "Come on, I'll take you to a place."

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