Chapter 441 Two Heroes Compete ([-])

"Huang Ama is here, my son is asking for orders to go out, please give permission to Huang Ama!"

As soon as the old fourteen came out, the old thirteen could not stand still. Whether he could be in command was the key to whether the old thirteen could be released from captivity. After finishing the work, this also flashed out from the side, pleading loudly.

"Huang Ama Mingjian, the fourteenth brother has been in the military department for a long time, and he is familiar with the art of war and strategy. If he is in command and goes out to fight, he can ensure that everything is safe."

"Huang Ama has learned a lesson, the fourteenth brother is unparalleled in bravery, and he is the best candidate to be in command. Please also ask Huang Ama to judge!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think that the fourteenth elder brother is the best choice for the handsome position, and the ministers second the proposal!"

……

As soon as the voice of the old thirteen fell, the ninth, tenth, Nalan Kuixu and other people immediately stood up to support the fourteenth.

"Huang Ama, my son thinks that the thirteenth brother is familiar with military tactics and naval warfare, so this is a good choice for the commander."

"Huang Ama learned, my son thinks that what the fifth brother said is true. Although the fourteenth brother is also handsome, but he doesn't understand naval warfare, he is not suitable to be the commander of the army. It is more appropriate for the thirteenth brother to be the commander."

"Your Majesty, I think the thirteenth elder brother is a handsome talent today, and if he is handsome, a big victory is within easy reach!"

……

As soon as Lao Jiu and the others moved, Lao Wu, Lao Qi and others, who had been instructed by the third master, were not to be outdone, and they also stood up to look at the old thirteen. Immediately, most of the courtiers who were close to the third master also stood up, The momentum is no longer inferior to Master Jiu's side.

"Well..., fourth brother, what do you mean?"

Seeing that the two sides couldn't stop arguing, the old man's face immediately turned a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to offend everyone at the moment, so he grew angry and didn't rush to make a decision, but Glancing at fourth master calmly, he asked indifferently.

"If you go back to Huang Ama, I think that the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers are good candidates, but if Huang Ama makes a decision, I have no objection."

Seeing that all the people on the side of the third master supported the old thirteen, the fourth master felt really sad, and he didn't want to speak for the old thirteen anymore, so he just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't expect the old man When the question came to his head, he couldn't help but panic, and after a little hesitation, he still decided that he didn't want to help, so he played a trick and kicked the question back to the old man.

Ha, Fourth Master is going to lose points this time, so there's only one word that he didn't say - Cool!

As soon as the fourth master answered, Hong Qing immediately felt overjoyed, nothing else, if the fourth master was so cunning, not only would the old man have pimples in his heart, but the old thirteenth office would even be at odds with him, and this, obviously, was Hong Qing The most pleasing result, how can I not snicker last time.

"Third brother, what do you think of this matter?"

The old man didn't comment on the fourth master's words, nor did he continue to question him endlessly. Instead, he turned his head and threw the question to the third master who was accompanying him.

"Imperial Ama learned, my son thinks that the two younger brothers are loyal and brave people, and they are not afraid of the danger of war. It is a good thing for the country, but there is only one commander-in-chief. If you can't argue with each other, you may hurt the harmony. Why don't we come to a competition to determine who is handsome, so that we can convince each other, this minister's humble opinion, I would like to invite the emperor Ama to judge."

The third master had expected this situation a long time ago, and he had already made relevant preparations. When answering the old man's questions, his attitude was obviously much more sincere than that of the fourth master.

"Competing to be handsome? How to compare, please explain clearly."

Hearing what the third master said, the old man became a little interested, but he didn't rush to make a decision, but raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest.

"So that Huang Ama learned that Qing'er had contributed a sea battle deduction map a few days ago, and my son had played a few moves on a whim, and found it novel and interesting, so that it could not only improve the mood, but also be used for war chess deduction. Just let the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother deduce it on paper, maybe it will determine the outcome."

The third master came prepared, and he was very relaxed when he dealt with it.

"Oh? There is such a thing, Qing'er."

When the third master said this, the old man's interest suddenly came, so he waved his hand and called Hong Qing out again.

"The grandson is here!"

Hearing the old man called his name, Hong Qing didn't dare to delay at all, she hurriedly strode out from the side, and humbly agreed.

"Did you bring the naval battle deduction map I presented?"

The old man didn't say much, and got straight to the point.

"Returning to Huang Mafa, this sea battle deduction map was made by Dai Zizhi, the doctor who made the palm print of the library. It is used to verify the military exercise. It is currently in the army, and let my grandson go and get it."

The naval battle deduction map is a masterpiece invented by Hong Qing, but right now, Hong Qing doesn't want to attribute this kind of credit to himself. If you want to show off, you're digging your own grave. When it's time to be humble, you have to be humble, so you don't hesitate to give the credit to Dai Zi.

"Well, let's go."

With a wave of his hand, the old man readily agreed to Hong Qing's request.

"twitter!"

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, Hong Qing didn't dare to delay, she hastily responded, trotted down the high platform, and after a short while, led two soldiers and turned back.

"Just put it here, spread it out!"

After getting the imperial front, Hong Qing didn't say much, she just pointed to the place ten feet away from the imperial front, and gave orders to the two soldiers.

"twitter!"

Hongqing had an order, and the two soldiers dared not neglect to go, they all complied, and each got busy, one of them spread out the scroll of sea charts he was holding in his arms, and the other was busy holding the roll of sea charts in his hands. Take out the battleship model from the carrying box, divide it into red and blue and place it on the two corners of the chart.

"Please look at Huang Mafa. This is a sea battle deduction map. There are islands and hidden reefs on the map. There is also a rotator to show the direction of the wind. The red and blue sides each have [-] large and small warships. When the wind is down, each step can move three squares. , the headwind can only go one square, the crosswind is two squares, the fleets of both sides have the same standard, and the firepower is roughly equal. Among them, the large warships have [-] guns on each side, one at the head and the tail, and the small warships have ten guns on each side. , there are guns at the bow, but none at the stern. A medium-sized battleship has twenty guns on each side, one at the head and one at the tail. When laying out the black screen can be drawn in the center of the chessboard, and the competition starts with pulling down the black screen."

After Hong Qing waved back the two soldiers who were in charge of helping, she faced the old man, pointed to the chart, and explained the rules of the competition in detail.

"Well, this game is interesting, it can be regarded as ingenious, since that's the case, the old thirteen and the old fourteen, you two can play it in battle."

The old man is the emperor on horseback, and he doesn't really know much about sea battles, but he has a lot of knowledge. After listening to Hong Qing's introduction, he already understood the mystery of this chart. After commenting a few words, Then with a wave of his hand, he signaled the old thirteen and the old fourteen to go to battle.

"twitter!"

Since the old man had given the order, neither the thirteenth nor the fourteenth dared to have any other opinions, they all complied with the promise, and each went forward, but they were not in a hurry to set up the formation, but they followed the rules of the chart deduction , and questioned Hongqing in detail, until all the details were clarified, the two brothers went to their own camps. Among them, the old thirteen chose the red side, while the old fourteen chose the blue side.

"The wind blows from north to east, and the competition begins. Please arrange for both sides, and a stick of incense is limited, and the timer begins!"

After the two old thirteen brothers reached the opposite corners, Hong Qing patted the rotator with her hand, but after seeing the rotator rotated a dozen times, the arrow on it pointed in the direction of north by east Seeing this, Haoqing loudly announced the official start of the competition. Two soldiers waiting by her side inserted a large black cloth with inserting rods on both sides into the center of the chart, and the old thirteen and old ten All four eyes were separated.

The sea chart is not small, and there are many grids. It is roughly 160 grids vertically and horizontally. The two sides each occupy half. It is more than enough for the layout of [-] warships. However, there are many islands and hidden reefs in the picture. It is obvious how to arrange them reasonably. One of the key points of victory and defeat, this point, both sides of the competition are obviously aware of it, and because of this, they are extremely cautious in arranging troops, the difference is that the old thirteen has been from Hong Qing a few days ago Having obtained the sea charts and the tactics and tactics of naval warfare everywhere, he has long been confident in his heart, so he is not in a hurry to deploy troops, and the old fourteen, although he is quite insightful in military books and warfare strategies, has also recruited some sailors in the past few days After grinding the materials such as tactics, but they still don't have much confidence in naval battles, and they are very cautious when setting up the formation, and the moves are extremely slow, and they seem a little hesitant.

"It's time, take off the tarpaulin!"

Time passed by every minute and every second, and soon, the stick of incense burned to the end. With the last flash of the incense head, a puff of green smoke curled up, and the time for the duel had come. After a delay, he waved his hand abruptly and announced the order loudly. Two soldiers rushed forward and took off the black cloth that covered them. Thirty warships are almost gathered together in three rows. Generally speaking, the large warships are in the center, and the small and medium-sized warships are swimming on the sides. The old thirteen is divided into two groups, and the strength of the left and right squadrons is roughly equal. , staggered by [-] grids, it is a pattern that echoes each other from a distance. As far as the layout stage is concerned, it is hard to say whose layout is more reasonable, at least in the eyes of all the officials.

"The deduction begins, the blue side moves first!"

Others can't see the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides' layout, but Hong Qing knows it very well, but when it comes to speaking, Hong Qing will not talk carelessly, so she just waved her hand blankly and announced The official start of the decisive stage of the deduction.
