Jingyuan closed his eyes to hide his anger and said in a hoarse voice: "Inoue-kun is right."
"Hurry and display the weapons."
"yes!"
Before Jingyuan had time to catch his breath, another soldier came to report that the warships were not obeying orders and several of them had collided with each other.
"Useless! You can't even sail a boat!" Jing Yuan slapped the soldier on the head.
"Two ships were particularly strange. We've sunk them with cannonballs," someone else reported later. "But both were warships equipped with cannonballs. Now, there are only... eight cannons left."
Jingyuan felt that things couldn't get any worse.
Seven days have passed. If they really have a way, it would be easy to take down those five or six artillery batteries.
Although they weren't evenly matched, they still had the resources to fight. This was an offensive and defensive battle, which was inherently disadvantageous to them.
Many soldiers have been at sea for seven days straight, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and are dehydrated. Military doctors have been quite busy lately.
"Attack with all your strength."
.
It must be said that Hu Zhi is worthy of being a skilled craftsman of the Ministry of Works. Encouraged by the food in the military camp, he works very well. The parts do not seem to be very delicate to him, and are not as valuable as the hairpins of the ladies.
A large lump was made in no time, and four artillery pieces were assembled on the spot.
Hongguang reported the matter to Yun Yan, the brainless guy. Since Situ Yue and Ye Heng were not at home, he insisted on trying the power of the artillery armor.
Well, Ye Heng and Situ Yue on the sea were almost scared to death.
"Yun Yan, what are you doing?" Liu Qinghuan was awakened by the explosion. Even in his daze, he knew what had happened. He immediately put on his clothes and went to the manufacturing plant to question the culprit.
"Cousin, the power of this artillery armor is really extraordinary." Yun Yan was excited and pointed at the place where the artillery had bombarded. A big hole was smashed out and there was still burning hay on it.
"Zijun is still at sea. Aren't you reminding the Ying army that we are secretly manufacturing artillery armor?"
Liu Qinghuan's face flushed with anger. "What are you standing there for? The Ying army should be attacking soon. Go gather the warships and load up the artillery and armor! Fight!"
Yun Yan slapped his forehead and really wanted to slap himself to death.
Before everyone could recover from the surprise and excitement, they fell into a state of nervousness again.
Only two of the highest-ranking generals were left in the military camp, and the other five generals followed Ye Heng out to negotiate.
"Madam, don't worry. Those Japanese pirates can't capture General Ye."
General Zuo never thought that one day it would be his turn to deploy troops.
"First, send two warships to go around and attack from both sides."
"That's not right! How many artillery pieces does Yingguo have?"
The left guard shook his head: "Ten."
"There are only four of us. If we are all alone and surrounded, what will we do?"
"What do you think, Madam?"
The left guard also knew that one should not take on a job if he doesn't have the necessary skills, and this was not his job, so he quickly asked for advice humbly.
"Have you ever heard of the Empty City Strategy?"
Liu Qinghuan swallowed his saliva.
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We need to send airships out in front to yell and draw the enemy forces. Then we can drive all four armored ships with turrets around the side of the island and gradually nibble away at them from behind."
Liu Qinghuan used a combination of the Empty City Strategy and a Feint to the East and Attack in the West strategy, which stunned the two guards.
"Qinghuan, I'm here." As soon as the boat arrived at the shore, Ye Heng immediately went to find Liu Qinghuan.
