Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Gao Shishu's plan does sound reasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, the meaning contained in it is different.

The first team walked to the southwest, facing the officers and soldiers head-on, to attract firepower, which was the most risky. If there was the slightest accident, they might lose their lives; the second team walked to the northwest, which served as a cover and supported the first team, which was risky. Second.

In comparison, after the third team left the island, they went straight to the northeast to find Japanese ships. The possibility of encountering officers and soldiers along the way was very small, so it was the safest.

Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. Everyone wants to go to the third team, but this cannot be said. After all, there must be someone in the first and second teams, otherwise everything will be in vain.

As the leader of the gang, Gao Shishu is also the proposer of the plan. If he only cares about his own escape and does not care about the life or death of others, then there is no need for everyone to obey.

The Japanese pirates all have their own motives at the moment, but they all have the same idea on this matter - I can take risks, but you can't hide behind and enjoy your comfort, using my life as a stepping stone to your glory and wealth.

So for a moment, all the Japanese pirates looked at Gao Shishu and stared at him closely: "Which team are you going to go to, leader?"

Facing the people's inquisitive or malicious eyes, Gao Shishu's expression remained unchanged and said matter-of-factly: "I won't leave any team. I will stay on the island and observe the situation at all times to adapt to changes. Wait until everyone has successfully broken through. Now, I will find another opportunity to join you."

"I know that you are angry with me these days. As the leader of the gang, I did not let you all live a good life, but I have reached this point. This is my dereliction of duty. You have followed me, Gao Shishu, through life and death. I Of course I have to be responsible for you, and this is what I should do as a gang leader."

The Japanese pirates did not expect that he would say this, and for a moment they couldn't help but feel ashamed of their malicious speculation, and said sarcastically: "I don't want the gang leader to think about us like this, I..."

"Okay." Gao Shishu waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to talk anymore, "Now is not the time to gossip, we still have to step up our preparations. After the sun goes down, the officers and soldiers must be somewhat relaxed, so we will break out at that time."

Naturally, the Japanese pirates had no objections. After nodding in agreement, they went about their business.

Seeing the sun setting little by little towards the west mountain, Shen Boyi felt increasingly uneasy and sighed: "There is no way to continue like this... Although the advantage is on our side now, it would be too expensive to dispatch dozens of warships to surround Mingsha Island. big."

"We don't know how many trump cards Gao Shishu has. If they have stored food for several months and the stalemate continues for a long time, we are afraid that we will collapse before the Japanese pirates have exhausted all their supplies. Otherwise... we will still be there. Go back first and make a long-term plan?"

Su Qi had already thought of this, and his expression was not very good: "Master Shen's worries are not unreasonable, but it's a pity that we don't have a better choice now. If we just go back home like this, not only will all our previous efforts be in vain, but also It is very likely to give Gao Shishu a chance to breathe, and we don’t know how many variables will arise in the future.”

"To cut the grass, we need to get rid of the roots, otherwise it will grow again. The government and Gao Shishu have been fighting for so long, and it is time for a decisive battle. Now is the best opportunity. Since Gao Shishu can leap over the wall and attack the port, there is not much that can be done. To save food, I still prefer to stick here and spend it with the Japanese pirates."

"General Su, you...hey." Shen Boyi couldn't convince Su Qi, so he had no choice but to turn to Gu Yunji, "Mr. Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Yunji said seriously: "If you ask me whether I want to withdraw my troops or continue to confront Gao Shishu at sea, then I can only say that I am more inclined to support Su Qi's decision." Mei Feng is not here and is currently crusading against Gao Shishu. Among this special fleet, there are only three of them who can take charge.Although Shen Boyi has the highest official position, he is not someone who uses his official rank to pressure others. Seeing that his proposal was rejected by two people, he had no choice but to obey the majority:
"Okay then... Now I just hope that Gao Shishu doesn't have much food reserves, and he won't be able to sustain it soon, otherwise we will really be in a passive position..."

When Gu Yunji heard this, he smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Who said that confronting the Japanese pirates can only be done in this way? Of course we can take the initiative. Master Shen, have you forgotten that we still have the divine cannon?"

The Shenwei Cannon is an improved version of the Fo Lang Machine Cannon. This was the name given to it by Emperor Jingfeng himself after he learned about it.

Although in Gu Yunji's view, the name "Shenwei Cannon" is a bit unflattering, firearms manufactured in his own country cannot always be named after foreign countries.At least it sounds much more pleasant than the "Folan Cannon".

Shen Boyi was stunned for a moment: "...Shenwei Cannon? But the effective range of the Shenwei Cannon is less than three miles, and we are at least four miles away from the Japanese pirate ships. How can this be possible?"

Gu Yunji smiled slightly: "You also said that the effective range is less than three miles. Although I, Gu Yunji, am an amateur in firearms, I also know the difference between the effective range and the maximum range."

Effective range refers to the maximum firing distance at which a firearm can achieve expected power, while maximum range refers to the farthest distance that a bullet can travel after being fired.

In layman's terms, the difference between the two is that the former is more powerful, but the distance is shorter; the latter is farther away, and the power is correspondingly reduced.

Gu Yunji said: "The effective range of the Shenwei Cannon is less than three miles, and we are more than four miles away from the Japanese pirate ship. Three miles and four miles are not much different. At most, the power is reduced by [-] to [-]%, which is enough. "

"There is essentially no difference between destroying a Japanese pirate's ship and destroying half of their ship. Anyway, it can scare the Japanese pirates to shit. Mr. Shen is proficient in the art of firearms. He should be more understanding in this regard than I think." .”

Shen Boyi had not thought of this level before, and he suddenly understood after hearing this: "This is a good idea. We brought three divine cannons with us this time, one with seven muskets, and the three cannons can fire 21 rounds together."

"Even if the Japanese pirates panic and want to abandon the ship and escape to the shore, they won't be able to do it in such a short time. If the launch can be accurate enough, we may be able to destroy more than half of their ships if we hurry up."

"If that's the case, Gao Shishu's vitality is really seriously damaged, and he will definitely not dare to leave the island rashly. We can just change to a shallow-draft boat, paddle directly through the reef area, land on the island and fight them hand-to-hand."

The more Shen Boyi thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, and he suddenly regretted: "It's a pity that there is a reef. We can't chase them too far now, so we can only attack from this distance. If only we could lure them away from the reef area and take the initiative to attack..."

At this time, the messenger came to report: "A large number of Japanese pirate ships were spotted leaving the reef area and heading towards our warship quickly!"
