Father can be an enemy to the country

However, out of respect for His Highness, the two of them still expressed their willingness to hear the details.

"What do you think about sex?" Zhu Zhen asked first.

"It's cool." Liao Dingguo said gruffly: "When the cannon goes off, the mountains shake and the ground shakes. If you encounter a timid enemy, you will be scared out of your wits."

"It's definitely more powerful than bows and arrows." Yu Tongyuan nodded and said: "Especially in naval battles, sometimes a single shot can dig a hole in an enemy ship. The power is incredible! It's a pity that it only hits so rarely... "

"Then install a few more cannons. The large quantity will do wonders! I have seen your naval battles and your training. I found that although you are equipped with artillery, the number is too small and it will not have much effect." Zhu Zhen asked again.

"The bow of the ship is so big, and it can't be opened if two doors are installed." Liao Dingguo said: "I can only say that it is better than nothing."

"Why not put it on the side? It's much more spacious than the bow." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with a smile.

"Blank?" The two men couldn't turn around for a while and asked: "Then how to fire? Will the one in the back not hit the one in front?"

"That's why I asked you to face the enemy from the side." Zhu Zhen was convinced by these two guys' understanding.

"Hiss..." The two of them were confused and quickly apologized: "Your Highness, let us figure it out first..."

"With the brains you two have, you may not be able to figure it out even if you keep trying until dark." King Chu waved his hand, and Gao Tie led someone to bring a few trays to the two of them.

What was on the tray was not food, but some model ships. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, shipwrights would make a ship model of the same scale before building a ship. This allowed the shipowner to understand the ship type, test the advantages of the ship type, and determine the size of each part.

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

Yu Tongyuan and his two had just seen the pond, and they could naturally recognize that what was in front of them was the models of battleships.

But what is different from the real thing is that the two sides of these models are full of artillery.

On the two largest four-thousand-material warships, sixteen artillery pieces 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 is twenty-four on each side, and a total of forty-eight on both sides.

On the two-thousand-material battleship, sixteen artillery pieces were placed on one side, for a total of thirty-two cannons on both sides.

It becomes more intuitive when we have the actual object. It turns out that the muzzle of the gun is facing outward.

"It turns out that we are facing the enemy from the side." Yu Tongyuan complimented: "Your Highness is really a fantastic idea!"

"In this way, if ten warships are facing the enemy on the broadside, there will be 176 artillery pieces that can fire at the same time. The power will be increased several times?" Liao Dingguo was not as fancy as Yu Tongyuan, so he thought seriously:

"If it were like last time, with enemies on both sides and 352 cannons firing at the same time, it would be a spectacular scene..."

"Holy shit, 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 is too 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 very high formation requirements, and a long snake formation must be maintained at all times to unleash the firepower of all warships. .”

"One word long snake formation? It's true!" The two of them were indeed experienced navy generals, and they instantly understood what His Highness meant.

"Come, I will teach you a war game again!" Zhu Zhen asked someone to remove the cups and plates, put the model directly on the table, and placed it end to end in a line.

Then let the two people control another part of the model to simulate an enemy attack. Now the power of the side artillery plus the long snake formation becomes clear at a glance.

No matter how the two men controlled the warship, they were always under Zhu Zhen's concentrated broadside firepower. Both of them are veteran generals, so they naturally know the damage that this number of artillery can cause.

After the two discussed, they changed their tactics and approached each other in a dispersed formation. Zhu Zhen's fleet then moved toward the northeast while fighting, always keeping a distance from the two.

This was what the two of them had expected in advance. As long as they could withstand a certain amount of losses, they would be able to force the opponent to lose range and eventually lead to a chase.

But unexpectedly, His Highness's long snake formation suddenly turned around and headed west in the distance, once again maintaining verticality with them, and struck them with firepower from the other side.

Zhu Zhen's fleet kept turning in a zigzag pattern, always keeping a distance from them, and attacking them in turn with firepower from both sides.

Once again, the fleet of the two men was completely wiped out without even touching a hair.

After seeing how powerful it was, the two of them began to pay attention to His Highness's new tactics.

"Your Highness is such a fucking genius..." After Liao Dingguo finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake and quickly apologized.

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

"It's useful, it's definitely useful." Both of them were knowledgeable and nodded vigorously: "This kite-like fighting method is quite similar to the Mongolian Mangu evil fighting method. It can be invincible. Slowly Wear the enemy to death."

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

"Don't be afraid of pursuit, just rush forward with a long snake and mount the bayonet on the cannon." Lao Liu said, pushing the battleship into the enemy's formation, shouting loudly: "This way, when others come to the side, we use the artillery to fight with the bayonet! Only by dealing with the face-to-face output can we hit Extreme damage!"

"Really, this way you don't have to turn around." The two were immediately overjoyed, obviously this method of warfare was more to their liking.

Normally, naval warfare in this era was still dominated by boarding combat and hand-to-hand combat, which relied on courage and close combat capabilities. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. There is no distinction between arms.

So they prefer the latter fighting method of the brave.

Zhu Zhen struck while the iron was hot again and explained to them various naval battle essentials he had learned from a certain game, such as 'Get the upper hand' and 'Ding Zitou', which made the two of them excited!

"Have you decided?" His Highness looked at the two people with bright eyes. "Should we change our tactics?"

"Change!" The two looked at each other. If it had been a different time, they would not have agreed even if His Highness gave him a direct order. How could something as fundamental as tactics be changed so easily?

But in the process of switching from the river navy to the navy, they encountered tragic failures, and coupled with their desire to save people, they finally decided to take a difficult step.

The two of them 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.

"Your Highness, where can we get so many artillery pieces?" Yu Tongyuan asked another practical question.

"Yes, in this case, the needed artillery will be lost." Liao Dingguo also said worriedly.

"Don't be anxious, I have already made arrangements." Lao Liu said proudly, "Let's go, I will take you somewhere."

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