Chapter 1141

Fang Xie knew why Zheng Qiu had been avoiding the war so far, and why the sailors had not fired a feather arrow or a bullet so far. Because Zheng Qiu's avoidance of war is the fear of war in his heart.

Fang Xie also knew that Zheng Qiu had never been afraid of war before. As long as he was on the river, Zheng Qiu had never been afraid of anyone.

This time Zheng Qiu is still not afraid, but worried.

Zheng Qiu looked at Fang Xie with some fear. She wanted to explain, but she didn't find words. He led two naval divisions to transport the men and horses of Chen Dingnan and Chen Dongshan, but he had to stop in Ninghai. He was almost a thousand miles ahead of fangxie. Unexpectedly, he waited until fangxie came.

"Afraid of damaging the warship?"

"Afraid of losing? Losing morale?"

"Afraid of falling the prestige of the black flag army?"

Fang Jieyi asked four questions in a row.

Zheng Qiu opened her mouth and nodded heavily.

"My subordinates have been observing the warships of the opru empire for many days. It is indeed more reasonable than our warships, and the cooperation between their gunships is much smoother than that of our Navy warships. Our warships are equipped with less than one-third of the guns, so it is inevitable to suffer if we fight hard."

Fang Xie understood him, and Zheng Qiu opened the conversation: "My subordinates have been observing these days. The warship cooperation of the foreign navy has been practiced in actual combat, and our warship cooperation is still at the level of expectation. There are no few real shots in Xuanwu Lake water stronghold, but they hit fixed targets. In actual combat, it's good if we can hit one of the three guns with the control ability of our navy soldiers."

"However, the enemy will not give us the chance to hit one shot after three shots."

Zheng Qiu said, "my subordinates are not afraid of war. They are just afraid of such a white loss of warships. I'm sorry that the LORD made such great preparations. My subordinates dare not attack rashly without a complete preparation. The number of warships and guns of the foreign Navy is much more than ours, and they know better than us what time is the most appropriate to start firing."

Fang Xie nodded: "how long will it take you to come up with a comprehensive plan?"

Zheng Qiu shook his head: "my subordinates don't know, but even if the Lord ordered to fight this battle, my subordinates can't guarantee to win."

Fang Xie didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he turned and asked Andrew, "what do you think?"

Andrew came with Zheng Qiu's fleet this time. When he arrived at Ninghai, he was also very oppressed. The enemy who had killed his motherland cut off the waterway of the river not far away, but he just couldn't fight over it. It's really hard to feel.

"I think... General Zheng is right."

Andrew took a deep breath and said in fluent Chinese: "I have been observing the warships of the opru empire. Before I arrived at Ninghai, I imagined the appearance of the enemy warships countless times and thought I had done everything I could, but after seeing the enemy warships, I realized that it was still worse to build cars behind closed doors."

Andrew said, "if we are facing the original fleet of the Principality of Ross, our navy can crush each other. The fleet of the Principality of Ross does not have many warships, and it is far less huge than our warships, and the power of artillery is not as powerful as ours... However, the warships of the kingdom of oplu are really more reasonable."

He looked at Fang Xie and said, "on the one hand is the Navy just built, and on the other hand is the fleet that has conquered countless countries in the ocean. If this war starts rashly, I also feel that the victory is not on our side."

"That is not to fight?"

Fang Xie asked.

Andrew quickly shook his head: "now it seems that the number of warships in the oplu imperial fleet is far less than ours, but the leader must be an experienced general. The ship array he arranged on the water has brought his strength to the extreme. Although the number is small, they won't suffer if they just intercept us."

"The minister sent someone to test."

Zheng Qiu said nearby: "The Aupu Aupu empire's ship matching artillery range is almost the same as ours. But the enemy is guarding us and we are attacking. When the warship is facing the enemy, the main gun is obviously not powerful enough. And when the ship is firing, the low hit rate is also as can be imagined. To fight the enemy, we must turn the bow after entering the range, and fire the enemy with the artillery guns on the side. The range of human artillery is similar to that of our artillery. When our warships turn around and line up, the enemy's artillery can hit at least two rounds... "

He looked at Fang Xie and said seriously, "each ship has two guns, which has been a fatal blow to our warships."

"So."

Andrew said: "the Navy General of the opru Empire must be an experienced man. He just puts out the defense formation, and we have nothing to do. No... there is nothing to do on the premise of giving full play to the power of the warship."

"But!"

He looked at Fang Xie eagerly: "if the Lord can order those practitioners to attack, he can buy time for our navy. As long as the practitioners get close to those big ships and destroy some of them, our warships can turn around in the reduced resistance."

"How many ships does the enemy have?"

Fang Xie asked.

"No less than 360."

Zheng Qiu replied, "they are all sea ships. The enemies come from the ocean. Small boats can't go at all, so all the big ships intercepting the river."

Three hundred and sixty large ships.

Fang Xie felt a little wrinkled. This number of seagoing ships can completely seal the waterway of the Yangtze River.

"Chen Dingnan, Chen Dongshan!"

Fang Xie ordered: "you two immediately lead the army to land and rush to Fenghuang platform to meet Nalan dingdong. Sanjin Hou's men and horses have gone out of Shanhai Pass. After you meet Nalan dingdong, you can echo Sanjin Hou from afar, one south and one north, which is a deterrent to foreigners and mu mansion."

"Here!"

Chen Dingnan and Chen Qianshan held fists at the same time: "I take orders!"

"Go"

Fang Xie ordered, "you two are not as familiar with the terrain and war situation as Nalan, so don't feel that your senior leader can control the tactics and listen to Nalan."

"Here!"

The two men promised again, and then turned away to mobilize the troops.

......

......

"No matter what happens to the Navy, the brigade must rush to fenghuangtai to meet Nalan. This battle has been fought long enough. If it continues, the reinforcements of the opru empire will come from the other side of the ocean one by one, and our people will no longer be as angry as they were at the beginning after they gradually adapt to the war."

Fang Xie said quietly but in a heavy tone: "it has nothing to do with any nation. For example, when Andrew's hometown of the Principality of Ross was invaded by the opru Empire at the beginning, the resistance must be extremely strong. But over the past few years, the people of the Principality of Ross have begun to get used to their new identity... The people of the Principality of thurence."

"The last thing I want to see."

Fang Xie said slowly: "our people and the enemy walked face to face in the street without looking at anyone, as if they had integrated with each other..."

Zheng Qiu's face was ashamed: "I don't think enough."

"No"

Fang Xie shook his head: "as a navy general, what you do is your duty."

He turned his head and said, "let your navy make way. I'll take a dragon boat to see what foreigners' Navy is like and what our navy is like."

Zheng Qiu quickly ordered the Navy's fleet to move to both sides to make way for fangxie's fleet.

The name of the Navy General of the opru empire is susis. He is a standard young man of noble origin in the opru empire. He won't turn 28 until tomorrow. This young man, who had been appreciated by Lyman the great at a young age, was predicted by the nobles of the opru empire that he would become the commander of the Navy when he was 40.

For an empire that has maintained foreign aggression and expansion for a long time, it is obvious how high the position of naval commander is.

Yes, he is young.

However, under Lehmann's account, there are many generals who are younger and more important than him. Therefore, suzies did not think that his age was an advantage. He always thought that his ability was what Lyman the great valued.

"Dear Duke."

His Navy General de morens filled susys with a glass of red wine, looked at the red sun falling on the river in the distance and said, "Your Excellency just put the formation in this way, so that the Han people can't start. You're right. In terms of naval warfare, the experience of the Han people is almost zero, even worse than the weak Chu Navy."

"Don't underestimate the Han people."

Suzies has a tall nose, a wide forehead, deep in his eyes, and his blue eyes are also very divine. It seems that he can definitely afford to be a beautiful man in the opru empire. This is a young man who is deliberately not arrogant, but arrogant to the bone.

He inherited his father's Duke title and has become the master of the bird of Paradise family.

All the big families of the opru Empire have their own ethnic flowers, and the ethnic flowers of the susis family are the birds of paradise that would not die. This kind of flower was made from a flower produced by that tribe after his ancestors and companions conquered an extremely backward tribe many, many years ago.

Yes, the history of the susis family is not very long.

Yes, the symbol of this flower to the susis family is aggression and conquest.

Yes, the ancestors of susis gradually made their fortune by conquering that indigenous area. Although they do not belong to the real big family of the opru Empire, the bird of Paradise family also has a great influence on the other side of the ocean.

"The Chinese navy is different. Don't you find it, de morrens? They not only installed artillery, but also the location of artillery is very reasonable."

"I have to doubt that people who don't belong to this place are helping them," susis said

"Nine times out of ten, it's from that old man's territory."

De morens said, "after he got the fief, he was transferred here before he had time to govern... The people in that place are rude and barbaric."

"Your Highness!"

Someone outside shouted, "please come out and have a look! There's a... Monster on the other side!"

Suzies was slightly stunned, then stood up, walked out of the room and boarded the deck. Then he saw the warship described by the word monster when the soldiers shouted.

you 're right!

This is a monster!

"Han people... Always make something like this!"

Suzies found himself angry, perhaps because of jealousy and fear?

The huge warship looks really ferocious, and its huge body exudes a hegemonic force that can crush everything. It was like the king of beasts from the distant sky, overlooking susis.

Of course, looking down on susys was a young man in black standing on the monster's forehead.
