"These artillery pieces are too powerful."
Some generals came to their senses and couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Although the small boat is not as good as the warship, it is still more than ten meters long. Its materials are the same as those of the warship. It is made of anti-corrosion hardwood. Its sturdiness is far from comparable to that of ordinary fishing boats.
However, it is unimaginable that such a small boat that they usually used to cross the river turned into debris in the blink of an eye.
If the small boat is replaced by a warship, how many such shellings can the warship withstand?
Thinking of this, the generals turned their attention to Ying Zheng.
The meaning is obvious.
Your Majesty, we want this!
"Hahaha--"
Ying Zheng recovered from the shock, feeling ecstatic and laughing loudly.
Such a sharp weapon is indeed a great treasure of the country.
After he laughed, he put away the gun in his hand and was about to touch the barrel of the artillery. The soldiers on the side quickly stopped him and said: "No, Your Majesty!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned and said somewhat displeasedly: "Why not?"
My son's things belong to me, what's wrong if I touch them?
Is it possible that you can touch it but I can’t?
What a joke!
Seeing that the First Emperor's father was showing signs of getting angry, Zhao Hao quickly stepped forward and explained: "Father, it's not that they don't let you touch the barrel, but after the cannon is fired, the temperature of the barrel will be very high for fear of scalding you. hands!"
After speaking, he nodded to an artilleryman.
The artilleryman picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on the barrel. The barrel immediately made a "sizzling" sound and a burst of mist.
"His Majesty."
When Zhao Gao saw this, he stood in front of Ying Zheng with a look of horror.
Ying Zheng stretched out his hand to brush him away, and said with lingering fear: "You have made great achievements and deserve to be rewarded!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two artillerymen were overjoyed and quickly saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand, then looked at the artillery carefully.
At this time, all the building generals, including Sima Chao, also came to their senses and gathered around the artillery, talking all over the place.
"If Doan had a few artillery pieces on the ship, future naval battles might be as simple as the young master said. As long as the enemy appears, just set up the artillery. As long as their warship is damaged, there will be absolutely no place to die. , it’s impossible to survive!”
"Yes, with this artillery, our soldiers will be invincible!"
"Hahaha, who will dare to underestimate our soldiers in the future!"
Listening to the excited and joyful cheers of the generals, Zhao Hao couldn't help but express his deep sympathy.
Compared with the Great Qin Army, these navies are indeed not impressive enough.
Because there are very few opportunities for them to participate in the war.
In the vast sea and endless rivers, there is not much room for them to use. It is really a great regret in life.
However, with this artillery, their role is much greater.
Not only can you attack the sea from a distance, but you can also attack along the coast, which is really cool.
"Sir, I have a question, I don't know whether to answer it or not!"
A building general who had never spoken before seemed to remember something and asked Zhao Hao cautiously.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "General, please tell me if you have anything to say!"
"Back to the young master, the general is a little worried. If the enemy gets artillery and shoots at us, how should we defend ourselves?"
"this"
When the generals heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all moved closer to Zhao Hao as if they had come to their senses.
"Sir, please don't forget the faults of villains. Can you teach us new tactics in naval warfare?"
"Sir, I admit that my laughter just now was a bit loud. Please be merciful and tell us."
"You hurt me!"
Zhao Hao curled his lips and glanced at the arms, thighs and slender waist hugged by the generals.
The generals chuckled and let go of Zhao Hao knowingly. Sima Hao immediately laughed with him: "Young master, please forgive me, it's all our fault. We are all a bunch of rough people, and our hands are neither light nor heavy."
After saying that, he started directly: "Come, Master, I will give you a massage."
"I'll rub it too."
"And I"
When the generals saw Sima Hao taking action, they also grabbed Zhao Hao's various parts and started rubbing them carefully.
Zhao Hao's forehead was instantly covered with black lines, and he quickly broke free; "I tell you, don't touch me, I don't need you to rub it."
This is not kneading, this is clearly an opportunity to get oil stuck!
A bunch of salty knuckles and greasy uncles!
"Really don't need it?"
"It's really not necessary!"
Zhao Hao resolutely rejected the generals, then stayed away from the generals, came to Ying Zheng, and said lightly: "I can't talk about new tactics, but I have some ideas!"
"but."
As he spoke, he changed the topic and said with a cold gaze: "I will not let the artillery fall into the hands of the enemy. If it happens, anyone involved in this matter will destroy the nine tribes!"
"this"
The generals were suddenly shocked when they realized that this seemingly cute young master actually had a murderous nature different from his age.
No wonder His Majesty attaches so much importance to him. It turns out that he is not only approachable on the surface, but also decisive and ruthless at heart.
As if he had read through the thoughts of the generals, Ying Zheng smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "It's just about destroying the nine tribes, don't worry about it."
"???"
Look, what does this say?
Sure enough, we are not a family, don’t enter the same family!
Just when the generals were at a loss, Zhao Hao put away his coldness and said calmly: "I have expressed my opinion to you just now. Naval warfare is nothing more than strong ships, powerful weapons, and fast enough speed. You No objection?"
"No."
When the generals heard Zhao Hao's point of view just now, they looked contemptuous and even ridiculed wantonly. Now that Zhao Hao emphasized his point of view again, the generals shook their heads and did not dare to object.
But Zhao Hao said again: "My father said that we can build bigger ships. This is true, but big ships do not mean they are strong. We need to build stronger ships. You may wish to think about it, if our What kind of scene would it be like if the big ship could withstand the bombardment?”
"this"
Everyone was shocked and thought, how could this be possible?
How could the warship withstand the bombardment?
If the warship can withstand the bombardment, wouldn't it be invincible?
When others can't get artillery, they can only scratch their own warships with crossbows. Even if they get the artillery by chance, they can't destroy their own warships. What is this but invincible?
"This should be impossible."
With the experience just now, Sima Hao did not refute Zhao Hao immediately, but questioned Zhao Hao more tactfully.
Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "Why is it impossible?"
Sima Chao had never seen the kind of warship Zhao Hao mentioned with his own eyes, so he naturally thought it was impossible.
But Zhao Hao knew what that kind of warship was, so he gave an example: "What did the ancients do thousands of years ago? Wooden boats! Can they know what our current warships look like?"
yes!
What the young master said makes sense!
If you don’t have it now, it doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future!
If there is such a warship in the future, it would be unimaginable to command such a warship to fight again.
The generals recognized the example given by Zhao Hao and couldn't help but feel excited as they thought about the future.
Zhao Hao cleared his throat and said again: "After talking about the warship, let's talk about our artillery! In fact, as far as the artillery I have got so far, there is nothing special, it is just a more powerful artillery with a longer range!
Among them, long range is a major advantage, and you should understand what long range means."
"hehe."
The generals looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"As long as our artillery has a far enough range, we can seize the initiative in the war and become invincible."
Zhao Hao said, reaching out and grabbing the air slightly, as if pinching the enemy's throat.
The generals burst into laughter when they saw it, and then heard Zhao Hao continue: "After that, the warship is strong, the artillery is superior, and the last thing is speed!"
"Everyone knows about the cavalry. The reason why the cavalry has become the backbone of the battlefield is because it comes and goes like the wind on the battlefield. It fights when it wants to fight and leaves when it wants to. When it encounters someone weaker than itself, it takes decisive action. I am so strong that I can run away directly, or even harass you in roundabout ways, which will cause all kinds of headaches!"
After hearing this, the generals instantly understood what Zhao Hao wanted to express.
Because every example Zhao Hao gave is closely related to them.
As a soldier, what you are most familiar with is always the battlefield.
But I heard Zhao Hao talk about it: "Speed is just as important to the cavalry as it is to the navy. The navy sails in the sea and rivers and often encounters unexpected situations. If there is no speed advantage, Easily targeted by armies on land;
For example, in terms of hiding methods, it is basically difficult for the navy to hide in the water, while the army can hide anywhere on land. Once the army takes advantage of the navy's slow speed and adopts a targeted attack, no matter how strong the warship is, no matter how far the range is. , there will be no use for it! "
"So, the navy can also become the cavalry in the water!"
At this point, he paused and continued: "Those things I just mentioned are all my own hard powers, and they must be possessed from the very beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to use the strength of the navy army!"
"Could it be that the navy can only fight head-on?"
Sima Chao asked with some confusion.
Zhao Hao glanced at him and said jokingly: "In the water, what else do you want to do if you don't go head-to-head with others? You can't hide, so you can only fight head-on. As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. If the ship is with people, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die!"
"this"
Sima Zhen was speechless and couldn't help but put his head in his waistband in shame.
Zhao Hao shook his head in amusement and added:
"Actually, it doesn't mean that there are no tactics at all. It's just that compared to one's own strength, tactics are of little use. In the face of absolute strength, all tactics are a desperate struggle!"
After hearing this, the generals nodded as if they suddenly understood.
Ying Zheng on the side was a little skeptical: "According to you, the tactics are useless?"
"That's not to say that tactics are completely useless."
Zhao Hao chuckled twice, dipped some water in the tea cup, put it on the table and said:
"Father, please see, if these are three enemy warships, if I were to command them, I would arrange my warships like this!"
As he spoke, he pressed three more horizontal seals in front of the three watermarks.
Ying Zheng looked like he was admiring him, and then asked: "Why do you have to put it like this?"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao smiled and did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked around at the generals and said, "Here, let me remind you that from now on, the artillery equipped on warships can only be on both sides, not at the bow and stern!"
"Why is this?"
Ying Zheng praised him again.
Zhao Hao smiled and replied: "Because our artillery is too heavy, if it is installed at the bow and stern, the keel in the middle may not be able to bear it. Coupled with the effect of speed and the pull of the waves, it is easy to break the keel, causing the ship to be destroyed and people killed."
After saying that, he couldn't help but ask a question: "So, there will be a problem here. Do you know what the problem is?"
"this"
The generals looked at each other, confused, and finally their eyes fell on Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng coughed awkwardly, waved his hands and said, "If you have any questions, just ask!"
"hehe."
Zhao Hao scratched his head and smiled, and then he asked and answered wisely: "Since we can only install the artillery on both sides, what should we do if there are enemies coming from the front or behind?"
As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the mark on the table, and said: "Please see, everyone, as long as the warship is arranged like this, it can attack the enemies on both sides."
"Their artillery is also installed on both sides. They cannot attack us at this time. If they want to attack us, they must aim at us from the side. As long as we get into this pattern first, they will almost be dead."
Zhao Hao was seen drawing a circle outside the enemy warship while speaking.
Ying Zheng was the first to react and couldn't wait to put his hands on his hands and smile:
"Okay, good idea. As long as our warship is fast enough and placed like this, we can aim at the enemy from the side first. They will definitely die!"
"good!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Sima Chao reacted instantly and said with emotion: "We underestimated the young master. I didn't expect that the young master knows so much about naval warfare!"
Hearing this, Zhao Hao waved his hands modestly: "You guys are overly complimentary. I only know this and nothing else!"
"These are enough. What's more, facing an opponent of comparable strength, with the current military strength of the Qin Dynasty, it is difficult to encounter it. Unless there is a rebellion, it can almost achieve a victory like plowing the court and sweeping the holes!"
Sima Chao is worthy of being a descendant of Sima Cuo, and his insights are quite similar to those of his ancestors.
If the opponent does not have such strength, then what is there to say? Just open the bombardment. Being able to get close to your own warship is considered lucky for the opponent.
However, the rebellion mentioned by Sima Chao made Ying Zheng frown and vaguely felt that something big had happened.
Could this kid really be hiding something from him?
Just when Ying Zheng suspected that Zhao Hao was hiding something from him, Sima Hao asked coldly: "Sir, can we test-fire the artillery?"
"You want to cum too?"
Zhao Hao was stunned.
"Why, can't you?"
"It's not impossible, I'm just afraid of hurting you."
Zhao Hao looked hesitant and then raised a hope: "How about next time? I'll shoot again when I have the chance. I have more powerful artillery that I haven't shipped yet!"
"Is there any more powerful artillery?"
"Yes, I have!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Actually, the Academy of Sciences has designed a total of three types of artillery. This time the artillery is close-range shotguns, long-range solid bombs, incendiary bombs, etc."
"What is an incendiary bomb?" Sima Zhen looked curious.
Zhao Hao explained patiently; "Incendiary bombs, as the name suggests, are shells that can burn when fired, which is amazing!"
Hearing this, the generals were extremely excited and quickly grabbed Zhao Hao's arm; "Sir, we want it!"
"Well"
Zhao Hao felt a chill and quickly broke away from the generals' hands and said with a straight face, "If you have something to say, don't touch it!"
"No sir, we want incendiary bombs!"
Sima Chao said excitedly: "With this incendiary bomb, those Yue people hiding in the dense forest will have nowhere to hide!"
"."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he looked at Sima Chao as if he was crazy, thinking to himself, aren't you afraid of forest fires? !
