Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 846 Exploding the New Era
Putting down those miscellaneous thoughts, Su Dingfang suddenly felt relieved, and focused his attention on the upcoming naval battle.

"Why didn't the chief executive allow Hussain to board the ship?" Su Dingfang was puzzled by this.

Ordinarily, this trip to the sea to eliminate pirates was nominally entrusted by Hussein. After all, he received a generous reward from him, and even a treasure-like ocean chart!However, when the army went to sea, they left their employers on a cargo ship and followed the fleet.
He was allowed to go ashore only after the den to search and rescue his nephew and clansmen, which was a bit disregarding of human feelings.

Fang Jun sat on the chair in the cabin, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "Because we will experiment with the latest weapons in this battle, and we must constantly test the effects according to the situation on the battlefield. , can’t let those barbarians know our secret.”

Su Dingfang suddenly said: "Cannon? Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge, can the cannon really be a weapon of naval warfare as the chief executive said?"

These days, Su Dingfang has been leading the navy to drill in batches at sea. Although he knows that Fang Jun has manufactured a new type of firearm called "cannon" in the manufacturing bureau, he is at a loss as to what it is.

Fang Jun proudly said: "It's not just a naval battle? With this thing, future wars will completely change their shape. Even Wei Gong, an unborn military genius, has to change his previous strategies and tactics in his military book! "

Although there is only a difference between cold weapons and hot weapons, in terms of the form of warfare, it has changed drastically!In the era of cold weapons, even the cavalry and infantry with the most disparity in strength had a death rate of only about [-]%.If [-]% of the army dies, they will often be injured in four cities or more. Even the elite troops will collapse in the face of such a casualty rate!

Words such as "the whole army is exhausted" that appear frequently in history books are either deliberately exaggerated to show their merits, or they are dead, wounded, wounded, and captives. The entire army organization has completely disappeared.

It is almost impossible to completely wipe out an army.

Of course, killing tens of thousands of prisoners at once like Bai Qi does not count...

But in the era of hot weapons, nothing is impossible!

What is the casualty of tens of thousands of people in a battle?
How many times has an army of tens of thousands of people been wiped out?
On the day when hot weapons appear, human life becomes just a cold number...

Naval battles in the era of cold weapons are nothing more than covering with bows and arrows, close collisions, and then boarding.But what about the era of hot weapons?As soon as the artillery bombarded it from a distance, a warship fell silent immediately, and all the soldiers on the ship were buried in the belly of the fish.

There is no upper limit to the scale of the war.

No matter how strong a battleship is, it can't resist a few small torpedoes...

Su Dingfang's eyes almost popped out of shock at Fang Jun's words. He wanted to refute, so he opened his mouth. After all, he didn't say anything unpleasant because he cared about his face.

Wei Gong Li Jing is not only Su Dingfang's chief, but also not only his teacher, but also the most admired military god in his life!
Li Jingzhi's use of troops has already reached the state of supernatural powers. Victory with less is nothing at all. The most basic pursuit is to surprise, descend from the sky, wipe out the enemy and be invisible!
And what is Fang Jun?

Apart from being good at making money, this guy knows how to fight a war!
Su Dingfang dared to say without pride that if he was given the same strength as Fang Jun to face off on the battlefield, he could completely beat this dude to death!

With someone like you, how dare you comment on Duke Wei's art of war?
Su Dingfang rolled his eyes, and decided to ignore Fang Jun's wild words, as if he had heard a really not funny joke...

*****
Fire Reef Island is considered to be among the best among the Sea Continent Islands. This island covers a very large area, with mountains, rivers, ports and fresh water. Naturally, it has a large population.

And the title of "Qingpijiao" is even more famous among the pirates in the East China Sea!

Fire Key Island is peaceful and quiet in the early morning.

The sea breeze blew the waves, making a rustling sound, and the sun rose from the east, and the golden light still illuminated the golden scales of the sea, as if ten thousand golden snakes were squirming.The gentle waves licked the bottom of the ship in the harbor, causing the ship to shake slightly.

When a huge fleet appeared on the horizon of the sky, the piercing sound of horns resounded in the harbor instantly, shattering the tranquility.

Countless strong men with disheveled clothes and even bare feet ran out of houses all over the island, flocking to the warships in the harbor.The pedals on the trestle bridge were set up, and the pirates leaped onto the ship with all their abilities.

Looking for weapons, setting up sails, and hoisting anchors, countless warships turned around slowly, and schools of fish raced out of the harbor, rushing towards the attacking imperial navy from afar.

The pirates on the deck drew their horizontal knives, held their spears, and their crossbows were stringed.Hammers with iron chains were hung on the poles on both sides of the ship, and the horns of the bow were showing teeth and claws. Everyone was sharp with swords and guns, and they were all heroes who had been fighting at sea for many years.

Murderously, they rushed straight to the naval fleet in the distance.

???? "Qingpijiao" Jiao Shixun looked at such a lineup, full of ambition and lofty ambitions!Apart from Zhang Tiecheng's fleet, the biggest pirate in the East China Sea, who else is Jiao Shixun's opponent?
Imperial navy?

Ha ha……

Jiao Shixun had a self-confident smile on the corner of his mouth, standing proudly on the bow of the boat, full of disdain in his heart.No matter how heroic Fang Jun is, it is impossible to form an invincible navy in such a short period of time.

The water army is different from the infantry, and slightly similar to the cavalry, that is, the quality requirements of the soldiers themselves are too high!An excellent fisherman can go out to sea by himself, but it definitely does not mean that he can become an excellent sailor!
Could it be that Fang Jun regards himself as a small shrimp like Ga Haihai?
Then let you see, what is a pirate who runs amok across the ocean!

????Countless warships raced forward on the sea, and the minions on the pirate ships were as courageous as their bandit leader Jiao Shixun, not worried about the upcoming battle at all.From their point of view, it doesn't take much effort to fight the imperial navy. Their side is a strong man who kills and loots almost every day on the sea, while the navy's side is improvised government soldiers. What's the difference between a fleet of fleets fighting on board, and catching a chicken in your backyard, killing it and eating it?
The only thing that frustrates the pirates is that the navy of the imperial court does not carry a lot of money and goods, nor does it have any young ladies. It is also impossible for the minions to share a ship with no one.

no motivation...

The two fleets were heading towards each other like arrows leaving the bowstring, getting closer and closer.

Jiao Shixun's ship rushed to the front, and he had excellent eyesight. He looked at the four leading warships rushing forward from a distance, looking a little weird.

The sails were big and white, full of wind and swelled up, but the hull was narrow and slender. Jiao Shixun was beating drums in his heart—these ships were sailing too fast!

The slender hull cleaves the waves on the sea, and it really flies like an arrow leaving the string, and its speed is no less than that of a galloping horse on land!
However, Jiao Shixun was only shocked by the speed of the opponent's ships, but he was full of confidence in the battle that was about to begin.

His own warship has four masts and eight sculls on the left and right.The soldiers swayed the oars and the sails to eat the wind, and the speed was extremely fast.Moreover, the hull of the ship is strong, heavy, strong and durable, shooting arrows from a distance, hitting angles and slapping sticks from a distance, and then fighting on board with the enemy. The gangsters under him are naturally a blow to a group of improvised civilians. That is to say, there is nothing to lose.

Is this Fang Jun stupid?

Do you really think that you are such a low-ranking guy like Gai Dahai, and you want to win another big victory?
How naive...

The two fleets approached quickly.

Jiao Shixun ordered the flag bearers on the ship to raise the flag, and the minions on each ship got ready.

War is imminent!
However, at the next moment, an incredible scene appeared before Jiao Shixun's eyes.

I saw that the four fastest boats in the navy suddenly drew a circular arc on the sea surface, and the white water at the stern showed a semi-circular trajectory, with their sides facing themselves.

Then, a dull thunder exploded in the ears.

The flames on the four enemy ships flickered, and then puffs of black smoke rose.

Jiao Shixun couldn't believe it, the enemy ship was on fire?
