Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 783 Small Abacus

Seeing Zheng's fleet fleeing the battlefield like a family dog, Shen Tingyang breathed a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars, his hands were still trembling slightly.The sea battle just now was too tragic, the warships that were torn apart amidst the rumbling noise, the orange flames and the shrill screams all stimulated his nerves and made his heart tremble.For a young navy who had just raised their oars, it was too cruel to encounter such an unprecedented bloody battle in their first official battle. The plot of the ability to kill the big boss is unlikely to be staged on the battlefield. For a young army, you must win, and you must win every battle, winning nine games and losing one There is no point in fighting a battle, because the one you lose will most likely remove you from the order of battle!For example, in the just-concluded battle, if they lost, the Denglai Navy might have to be removed. Fortunately, they boarded, and it was Zheng Zhibao's fleet that should be removed.

"Master Hou, we won!" His voice was still steady, but he couldn't hide his inner excitement.

Yang Menglong said: "I have seen it all. You fought very well. Let the fleet stop the pursuit, anchor at Wusongkou, and do your best to treat the wounded!"

Shen Tingyang said: "Yes!" He breathed a sigh of relief again in his heart. What he fears most now is that Yang Menglong is greedy for meritorious deeds and ordered to chase and fight fiercely, thus missing the opportunity to treat the wounded.Zheng Zhibao's fleet has already had its spine broken, and it doesn't make much sense to continue to fight the dogs in the water, but those sailors were trained by him so hard, it would be too sad if they died because of this.But fortunately, although Yang Menglong is a layman in naval battles, he knows how to use the power of the Denglai Navy. Knowing that the Denglai Navy has reached its limit, he did not entangle with Zheng Zhibao's fleet.

Yang Menglong pointed to the sailors of Zheng's family who were floating in the sea and shouted loudly, and said, "Save them too. The battle is over, there is no need to continue to die."

The warships immediately put down their boats, or dropped their rope ladders to start fishing for people.Just as they were busy, a large-scale fleet sailed out from Wusongkou, came over, and joined the ranks of fishing for people. The sea area stained red with blood and fire suddenly became very lively.

Several small boats caught some black uncles and sent them to the Cybertron as if they had discovered a new continent.Yang Menglong didn't respond, black people, what's so interesting?The red lady looked very curious, wandering around these unlucky black uncles, looking at this and that, and exclaimed in amazement: "Why are these people so black? They look like they were carved out of a piece of charcoal!"

Yang Menglong said: "He is black in the first place, can he not be black?"

The red lady patted the bald head of a seven or eight-year-old black child, giggling, "It looks fun!"

At this time, a large ship came head-on. On the bow, Xue Siming and Zhong Ning had black helmets and black armor. Their waists were straight, like an extremely sharp long sword. Dressed in purple, with long hair fluttering in the sea breeze like ink clouds, a boatload of handsome men and beautiful women is quite seductive.Xue Siming yelled anxiously after traveling all the way: "Where is Lord Hou? Where is Lord Hou?"

Yang Menglong called lazily: "It's here, what's it called?"

The big ship approached, and it was still several meters away. Xue Siming jumped over like a cheetah. He deserved to be the number one general under Yang Menglong's command.Zhong Ning followed closely and jumped over. Li Yan and Catherine did not have such great jumping ability, so they had to wait for the two boats to be close together before jumping over. Seeing that Yang Menglong was alive and well, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Xue Siming complained: "Master Hou, the battle is so fierce, why don't you leave the battlefield and enter Wusongkou first? There is a lot of artillery fire, and no one knows what will happen. If there is something wrong with you, even if we win a big victory What does it mean?"

Zhong Ning had lingering fears: "Exactly! This sea battle is different from a land battle. Every warship is a target. The shells are overwhelming and no one can be spared...Master, don't take such a risk next time!"

Yang Menglong didn't care: "Fortunately, the flagship is safe, and the Zheng fleet has no chance to get close to the flagship!"

Li Yan glanced at the guards beside him and said, "You'd better let Zaji and the others wipe off the blood on their weapons before saying this."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that almost all the guards around Yang Menglong have become blood men, especially Zaji Chongweng, the horizontal knife still has blood dripping down the blade.The flagship has always been the focus of the enemy's attack. In the bloody battle just now, several large warships of the Zheng family rushed over and hooked the flagship with iron hooks. Armed sailors jumped up to fight melee, but Yang Menglong's personal soldiers used horizontal Knives and grenades were killed.

Yang Menglong smiled awkwardly, and said, "Don't pay attention to these details..." He kicked a shot put weighing five or six catties away calmly.

Li Yan snorted, dissatisfaction was written all over his face.In his opinion, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Yang Menglong has a high position and authority, and he is the blessing of thousands of people in Huguang. He should not take the risk of going to the battlefield. , and rush to the forefront every time?But he also knew that Yang Menglong couldn't listen to these reasons at all. This guy had an almost fanatical love for war and was as warlike as a mad dog. No one could stop him from going into battle.

Catherine, on the other hand, seemed very excited, pulling the red lady and chatting non-stop.She and Hong Niangzi have long been good friends, but since they came to China this year, they have never had the chance to meet Hong Niangzi. Now that they finally meet, can you be unhappy?Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Menglong boarded Xue Siming's big ship with everyone, handed over the command to Shen Tingyang, and then turned the bow of the ship to Wusongkou amidst Catherine's sparrow chirping.

Li Yan asked: "My lord, when did you arrive?"

Yang Menglong said, "I just arrived this morning."

Li Yan didn't know what to say: "I just arrived this morning and had a decisive battle with Zheng's fleet!?"

Yang Menglong said: "If you bump into them, you will hit them. Don't you have to pick a day to clean them up?"

Li Yan was so choked that he rolled his eyes, he just wanted to grab Yang Menglong's collar and yell, "Can you be more aggressive!?" But he endured and endured, and finally controlled his emotions, because the answer is before him.In Yang Menglong's eyes, fighting a war seems to be a very simple matter. Take as many supplies and soldiers as possible and set off, and fight when you encounter the enemy, and every time you push it head-on, you don't need any plans or tricks. Just hit it.What's more, he can win every time, and it is a devastating blow to the enemy, which makes Li Yan, who has always been strategic but not brave, quite collapsed.

Xue Siming said: "My lord, it is too risky for you to do this! Zheng's fleet has twice as many battles as our army, and our army has not raised many oars, and it is even more exhausting after traveling thousands of miles south. You actually fought a decisive battle with the enemy as soon as you reached Wusongkou ..."

Zhong Ning interrupted: "At least send someone to inform us, let us respond to your attack? It's really not very safe to head-on like this!"

Yang Menglong said: "Okay, I will send someone to notify you next time!"

Seeing his indifference, the generals had the urge to throw him into the sea to let him drink up, knowing how dangerous the sea is.

Catherine was full of praise for Yang Menglong's record, took Yang Menglong's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "Yang, congratulations on winning a great naval battle! I think your victory can be compared with the glory of Britain's defeat of the Spanish Armada !"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "I'm so proud of you, you're too much of a prize. What's wrong with that? Britain defeated the main force of the Spanish Armada, but I only defeated a vanguard force of Zheng's fleet. It's far, far away. La!" Suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "By the way, how is the British Navy doing now?"

Catherine curled her lips and said: "What else? After defeating the Armada, it was disbanded. Six thousand to eight thousand sailors who fought bloody battles with the Spanish Armada and fought desperately to protect Britain died of illness and starvation in extreme poverty. Now, The British Navy almost ceases to exist.”

Yang Menglong grinned: "Britain's ability to cross bridges and draw boards is really admirable!"

Catherine said: "Is there any way? The navy is a large military spender. It is easy to build a group of warships and recruit a group of sailors, but it is very difficult to maintain it for a long time. With the national strength of the United Kingdom, it is simply impossible to support such a large scale. navy!"

Yang Menglong still grinned: "I can't afford one..."

Catherine turned her head frequently, looking at the broken ship materials floating on the sea and the burning wreckage of the battleship, once again she was full of interest in the naval guns of the Transformers fleet.This is a unparalleled naval weapon, no matter how much it costs, she must get it!
