Valley Emperor

In this naval battle, in fact, the Datang Navy's advantage is quite large, not to mention the mobility. The nine battleships are specially built for ocean battles. The three-masted soft sails bring these ships a Great power, and the hull is generally slender, and the speed is faster.

There is also the total tonnage of the ships. Of the nine battleships in the Datang Navy, the smallest is a frigate of more than 350 tons, and the largest is a cruiser of 550 tons. Just these nine battleships, the total tonnage is It has reached 3,800 tons, and there are more than 20 armed merchant ships of more than 200 tons or even more than 300 tons.

The Datang mobile fleet participating in the war has a total tonnage of about 10,000 tons.

As for the Ming navy, although the number of ships is larger, their ships are generally small, the largest being less than 300 tons. As for those small fireboats, they all add up to not much. The tonnage of more than 100 Ming navy ships can only reach 8,000 tons.

As for firepower, the disadvantage of the Ming army is even greater!

With the nine battleships of the Datang Navy and more than 20 armed merchant ships, there were more than 350 long-barreled cannons and howitzers of various calibers.

However, on the Ming Army side, the total number of large-caliber anti-ship artillery will not exceed 30, and most of them are shotguns that are mainly anti-personnel such as Folang Machine and Wankou Cannon. , the two-jin and three-jin shotguns of the same level are not included in the statistical list of naval guns.

Even comparing these shotguns, the Tang Navy actually has an advantage. After all, those large-caliber and heavy cannons can be loaded with so many, and those light shotguns can be deployed in large numbers.

In terms of protection, it goes without saying that the main battleships of the Datang Navy are made of the highest quality wood and are extremely thick. At the same time, the design of the ship is also specially designed for combat, so the protection capability is quite excellent.

And the protection ability of the warships of the Ming army navy is only the level of armed merchant ships!

So don't look at the fact that the number of warships of the Datang Navy is less, but whether it is in terms of mobility, firepower, protection, or total tonnage, the mobile fleet actually has an advantage, and it is a great advantage.

If there is no such obvious advantage, the Datang Navy will not come out to attack Nan'ao Island with its main force.

The next morning, Vice Admiral Ouyang Gui also saw Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan, the head of the First Mixed Regiment, who arrived in a hurry.

Then a military meeting of the army and navy plus the guards, covering the three armed forces of the Tang Dynasty, began, because the three parties are not affiliated, and there is no priority among the three parties, in order to avoid military conflicts, thus Influence the three armies' offensive on Nan'ao Island.

Ouyang Gui also specifically instructed the naval officers and men below to give sufficient respect to the representatives of the army and the Guards, and to reflect the spirit of naval mastery.

Finally, even the layout of the conference room is not a traditional rectangular table, but a large round table specially arranged, and the three-way seat does not distinguish between high and low.

Ouyang Gui attended with four admirals, that is, the commanders of the four squadrons, wearing navy blue officer uniforms.

On the army side, Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan of the First Mixed Regiment joined with the chief of staff and two infantry battalions who participated in the battle. They were wearing dark blue officers' uniforms. Well, although the uniforms of the army and navy are called Not the same, but in fact they are all the same color with very little difference.

Although there are few guards, the lineup is not inferior at all. They are led by Brigadier General Chen Qutong, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Guards, Lieutenant Colonel Jin Chongshan, battalion commander of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Guards, and two others. The major's staff, their uniforms are not the same color as the army and navy, but pure black uniforms.

The establishment of the Guards, even the ranks and uniforms are different from those of the Army and Navy. The battalion commander of an infantry battalion is a lieutenant colonel.

There are four people in the three parties, a total of twelve people are sitting around this big round table!

Although the military types are different, the person with the highest rank is still Ouyang Gui, so he is naturally the one to preside over this meeting. He first briefly said that the navy has cleared the resistance of the Ming navy, although there are still dozens of Ming ships. The navy ship fled back to the port, but he said that the main fleet of the navy would block the port directly after the battle, and would never let these Ming navy rush out to destroy the landing.

But how to fight on land after landing, annihilating the tens of thousands of Ming troops on the island, this is obviously not the strength of the navy, and the authority in this regard is naturally Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan, the head of the first mixed regiment of the army.

Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan gave a detailed introduction to the battle plan he prepared. Naturally, Ouyang Gui could not tell the difference, but Brigadier General Chen Qutong of the Guards side agreed.

So the Navy naturally has no opinion.

In the end, it was decided that according to the original plan, the blockade task will continue to be carried out by the Navy. At the same time, the armed merchant ships under the Navy will approach the landing site with artillery fire to support the landing troops. After the subsequent landing, they will also directly remove small and medium-caliber naval guns from the Navy’s warships to form a Temporary naval artillery battalions landed to take part in the battle.

Brigadier General Qi Wenhuan personally served as the commander of the ground combat, Chen Qutong, deputy chief of staff of the Guards, served as the deputy commander, and the artillery commander was the navy.

In short, all three parties must participate, and none of them will fail!

After the three parties negotiated, they were ready to go, and Ouyang Gui personally led eight main ships and ten armed merchant ships, and directly blocked the port of the Ming army navy on Nan'ao Island. At first, the Ming army navy There were still boats trying to rush out, most of them were fire boats, and some boats tried to escape, but they were all blasted back by hundreds of artillery pieces of the fleet commanded by Ouyang Gui!

This time, the Ming army navy has learned to be good, and no longer rushed out, but also prepared a large number of fireboats as spares. If Ouyang Gui dares to lead the fleet into the port, these fireboats will be of great use. .

Ouyang Gui, who was victorious in sight, naturally would not take any insignificant risks, so he did not enter the port and stayed in the open sea!

At the same time, the landing fleet composed of more than ten armed merchant ships and dozens of various messy small and medium ships also approached the other side of Nan'ao Island. Because there was no interference from the Ming army navy, the landing operation was extremely smooth. .

After learning that the pseudo-Tang thief army had landed, Qin Zhifu's face became extremely pale in an instant!

"Sir, what should we do now? Do you want to join General Chen and the others to resist the attack of the pseudo-Tang bandit army?" There are tens of thousands of troops on the island, and there is no chance of winning a fight!"

But as soon as this man finished speaking, he was slapped by Qin Zhifu!

"Fuck, Master Zhang has been defeated by hundreds of thousands of troops in Huguang and Jiangxi. It can be seen that these pseudo-Tang thieves are powerful. It is rumored that all Tang thieves can defeat ten. We have to fight against these four thousand Tang thieves. There are no three or four. Don't even think about it!" Qin Zhifu's face was gloomy when he said this.

Qianhu on the side also seemed to remember something, and then reacted with a look of fear: "Yes, the navy of the pseudo-Tang bandit army is sharp, but their army is even more powerful. I heard about Yu Dayou a while ago. The 10,000 thieves troops on the side are all being crushed and beaten by thousands of fake Tang thieves!"

"Yu Dayou's bandit army is a new army full of guns and guns, and on our island, it's all old guard soldiers, how can this be beaten!" Qin Zhifu said this, his face was pale. Sadness is even more intense.

"Then, what should we do, my lord? Or..." When Qianhu said this, he glanced at Qin Zhifu's expression, and then said boldly, "How about we descend?"

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly slapped by Qin Zhifu again, and he turned his whole body around in a circle. After being beaten, the thousand households immediately fell to their knees: "Sir, spare your life, little one. It's not intentional to drop!"

"It's just a casual remark, the adults are spared!"

Qin Zhifu glanced at him, then took a deep breath and said: "Surrender, that's impossible, you don't see that there are not a few officials who surrendered to Tang thieves, but there are a few who have fallen. Okay, I am the President of Daming. Soldiers, if they are defeated and surrender, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the fate of being placed under house arrest, so this surrender is impossible!"

"Don't surrender? Let's fight to the death, my lord, the little one is willing to be the striker!" The thousand households suddenly shouted loudly.

However, Qin Zhifu showed a cold smile at this time and said, "Since they are not benevolent~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and disgraced this official, then don't blame this official for casting a thief!"

When they heard about throwing the thief this time, the thousand households felt that their brains were not enough, and they said that they would not surrender just now.

Seeing the confused expression of Qianhu under his hands, Qin Zhifu said: "Idiot, it is absolutely impossible to surrender directly, but if you are in front of the battle anyway, even if you cooperate with the Tang officials to fight back a wave of those fake thieves, it will be different. When the time comes to the Tang Dynasty, even if you cannot and continue to hold power, the glory and wealth of the first life should still be guaranteed!"

Hearing this, Qianhu finally came to a realization!

"My lord is wise, in this way, we can not only avoid this catastrophe, but also take the opportunity to get on the carriage of the Tang Dynasty, and the future prosperity and wealth are just around the corner!" The thousand households seemed to see that they had transformed themselves and became The Great Tang General whom everyone admires!

At this time, Qin Zhifu seemed to have transformed into a real commander of real power, and said in high spirits: "You immediately run for this officer, you must see the person in charge of Tang Jun, and tell this officer what it means anyway, and this officer will also immediately convene. The soldiers and horses are ready to seize the city, and this officer wants to offer the city anyway!"
