Chapter 522: War Method

During the next period, according to Jiang Lang's intention, the Ming Dynasty sent a large number of spies. These spies either disguised merchants or disguised as fishermen and began to search for the Komu Army's fleet in the vast sea. According to Jiang Lang's words, they should thoroughly clear the Komu Army's warships from the sea.

At the same time, these navy soldiers also began to strengthen the warships and transform the original small boats.

A few days later, Jiang Lang was handling official business. Deng Yuanjue walked in excitedly and said, "Sir, our boat has been successfully studied, please check it!"

Jiang Lang put down his official duties after hearing this. Relatively speaking, this boat was also a very important one, and it was also a very effective way to fight against the last attack method of Kou Mu Jun. So he nodded, stood up, and said, "Okay, take me to see!"

Deng Yuanjue quickly agreed, took Jiang Lang out of the camp gate, and then boarded a warship, and several other warships went out to sea at the same time.

After the fleet sailed for a certain distance, the warship that Jiang Lang was riding on dropped its sail, then dropped its anchor and stopped, while the remaining warships sent out a single formation, assuming that they were preparing to fight the enemy, but it did not start.

"Please give an order!"

Deng Yuanjue said.

Jiang Lang raised the glasses in his hand and said, "Okay, let's start!"

Deng Yuanjue immediately issued a loud order, and the red flag in the hands of the soldiers on the mast immediately waved.

"boom……!"

The warships fired together, and the loud noise echoed on the sea like thunder.

Then on the sea, it suddenly became like rain, splashing countless water splashes, and in front of the entire warship, a dense rain of steel bombs was poured.

Jiang Lang also used this move to fire shotguns with artillery and use the dense shotgun to form a steel barrage in front of the battleship, thereby intercepting the small warships of the Gumu Army near. Although it may not necessarily destroy all the enemies, if the enemy is shrouded in the barrage, there will probably be a lot of casualties under such a intensive attack.

After the barrage, many soldiers holding muskets immediately appeared on the deck, and they started fire. From the ripples splashed on the water, it can be seen that the bullet point was slightly closer than the cannon. The purpose was to intercept the enemy who broke into the cannon during the free time of loading. I believe that the cannon's shotgun was much more sparse, but compared to the cannon, the accuracy was higher, and the equipment of the new rifle has a faster firing rate and higher accuracy. However, there are also problems. The penetration of the bullet is not strong. If a thick enough wooden shield is laid directly in front of the enemy's ship, the damage ability of the bullet will be very limited.

At this time, the rumbling cannon sounded again, and the sea surface was covered with iron rain again. Due to the shooting angle, the place where the shooting was still the first place to fire, with the purpose of attacking the boat that was chasing afterwards.

After the sound of gunfire, two small boats began to be released on each warship. Eleven soldiers were riding on each small boat, one of which was responsible for the helm, two were responsible for operating the ship, the one in the front was responsible for setting up wooden shields to prevent enemy attacks, and the other eight people were shooting with muskets. The new rifles were not only not afraid of water, but also had a fast firing rate, which was very suitable for attack.

At the same time, according to Jiang Lang's intention, a mast was erected on the ship, but the sails on it were not opened. After all, the purpose of the small boat is only for defense, not for active attack, and the fewer the ships, the greater the impact of the wind.

However, the boat, with eleven people crowded, seemed a little crowded, and if it was rowing by people, the boat would be very slow.

Seeing this, Jiang Lang couldn't help but frown slightly. In this case, if the boater increases, the firepower will inevitably be sacrificed, but if the power is insufficient, the ship will not be much faster. Moreover, if the enemy uses the boat to attack, it will definitely be smooth sailing. This will make the ship's speed very fast and not easily intercepted. However, for the blocking party, it will be in a very unfavorable state.

"What are you dissatisfied with by the adults?"

Deng Yuanjue noticed the expression on Jiang Lang's face and asked at this time.

Jiang Lang put down the telescope in his hand and said, "The ones in front are not bad, but I think the best place to prevent the Komu Army is to prevent the Komu Army from shooting ranges, not in the part close to the hull, so that the Komu Army can easily break through the defense line and directly attack the main ship, and our muskets can shoot accurately. Even if the Komu Army breaks through, we still have time to block. Moreover, the most important point is that the enemy will have a good time to attack us last time, so that their speed will be faster!"

Deng Yuanjue nodded. What Jiang Lang said really made sense, so he asked quickly: "That adult thinks, how should our ship be improved!"

At this time, without gasoline engines and diesel engines, we naturally cannot rely on machinery to provide power. Therefore, the only thing that can be used is manpower and wind power. Wind power is more suitable for the attacking party, and it is a completely big disadvantage for the defense party, so what can be used is manpower.

However, there are also problems with manpower. The other party's boat is flexible and flexible. To stop them, your own boat must also be flexible so that it can effectively block it. At the same time, the maneuverable and flexible ship can also be used as a tool for landing. After all, the water near the coast is very shallow, and if the warship draws too deep, it is easy to get stranded.

The best thing is to liberate the soldiers' hands to use weapons, while also keeping the ship at a certain speed and maneuverability.

After thinking about it slightly, Jiang Lang had no good idea in his heart. He shook his head slightly and said, "In this way, let me think about it carefully and go back first, but this kind of exercise can be carried out more."

Deng Yuanjue immediately agreed and conveyed Jiang Lang's order. The warship recycled the small boats and then began to return. This seemingly simple training took nearly one morning to go. After the warship landed, it was already noon.

As a result, Jiang Lang turned over the horse with the reins handed over by Sun Yuanbiao, and then Sun Yuanbiao said: "Sir, the lady has prepared lunch, she invites you to go home!"

Now the city has been repaired almost, and Jianglang has now moved into a yard, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. In front is the naval yamen, which is the place where the camp is located, and behind is Jianglang's yard, where he lives now. The rest, like Deng Yuanjue, also have their own yard, while other generals live in the army.

After returning home along the road, I saw a lot of wine and dishes on the table. Zi Yu once again, the dishes were rich every day, so Jiang Lang didn't find anything strange. After sitting down, he saw Zi Ling coming over with a stack of dishes and smiled and said, "So many dishes are enough, but I can't eat them when I'm cooking!"

Zi Ling put down the plate, reached out to wipe it on the apron, then unbuttoned it and said, "I heard you went to the sea again today?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, Deng Yuanjue and others have developed a new tactic to let me see these things. I can only feel at ease after seeing them!"

"How is that?"

Zi Yu asked and served Jianglang rice.

"It's OK!"

Jiang Lang said lightly, took the meal handed over by Zi Yu, and said, "But it is still a bit unsatisfactory, especially the ship, which still needs great improvements, but at this time, no way to improve it has been found!"

"Don't think about it now!"

Zi Yu hurriedly arrived, picked up a piece of rib for Jiang Lang, and said, "Now, eat, eat well with me, and then if you have time in the evening, go with me!"

Jiang Lang nodded and agreed to Ziyu.

After lunch, the two of them took a short break and knew that the sun was setting, so they left the city and walked out of the city.

It is July now. Even in the north, the sky is still very hot in the evening, and the two of them are not taking the bus, but just walking slowly.

Even when it is close to the beach, many people make a living by fishing, but there are still two days on the beach. Now it is the time to go to the rice fields to talk about good times and listen to the sound of frogs.

However, today's high-strength weather seems a bit dry and there is little rain. This is not a good situation for rice, so every distance you can see some people stepping on waterwheels, then lifting the water and watering it into the fields. For these people, rice is everything.

Seeing those waterwheels, Jiang Lang suddenly felt inspiration and couldn't help but think of the boats in the amusement park. Those boats did not row with water, but pedaled with their feet. There were paddles like waterwheels on both sides of the boat. As soon as they turned, the boat could move forward. In my memory, it seemed that the first steamboat was in this style.
