Chapter 352 The Austrians have guns

Lan Bing stood in front of Renault, pretending to be calm.

The moment she saw the Aoist fleet, she knew that the Charge was in big trouble.

If they flee without fighting, they will be judged by the rules of the Great Chu military and deserters. I am afraid that no one will survive on the entire ship. No matter what the current situation of the northern naval army is, it is a navy army after all, and it is a military law.

So, after she released the message, she drove the Charge to the Austrian fleet with more than 100 uncles. Naturally, she didn't want to die. Before she issued the order, she guessed that the Austrian commander could not have paid attention to the Charge. Compared to a huge group of warships, the Charge is a little ant.

Sure enough, the Ao Ren sent only three warships. The naval battle was not long, but it had a huge impact on Lan Bing. Although it was the northern naval army, it had never fought a naval battle. Everything she knew was all her uncle and uncle, who bragged about it, told stories, and her own understanding.

Lan Bing recalled that naval battle afterwards, often in a cold sweat. The Austrian warship had weapons that she could not understand at all. Now, half of the order she issued was her accurate judgment, and the other half was that she was lucky. The Charge was so lucky that they would not have come back at all.

Even though he was so lucky, the final metal storm still caused heavy losses to the Charge. Before the war, 190 men, except for the more than ten people who sent ships and sent letters, the remaining nearly 180 people had to survive, and the rest were all accompanied by war injuries of varying degrees.

When the Charge returned to the Northern Navy camp, less than sixty people could breathe. Uncle Sigou was killed in battle, uncle soldier was killed in battle, and his sixth son was seriously injured. The doctor deducted hundreds of iron pieces on him, but he was not dead, and even the doctor shouted a miracle.

Although Liu Zi was not dead, he was only left with a breath of life. Fortunately, Lan Bing had the extra money in his hands, and could afford the doctor and the best medicine. If he was counting on the Northern Navy, it would be better to throw it into the sea and enjoy it.

The casualties were heavy, but the beginning, followed by the self-inspection of the Northern Navy. It took more than half a month. The final result was that ten living people, including Lan Bing, were sent to the city of Shengjingluo and imprisoned in the Ministry of War. As for what to do in the end, she had no idea.

The military headquarters was also very hesitant. If what Lan Bing said was true, the Charge had made merits and no mistakes, and even upgrading to three levels was not enough to make the contribution. But afterwards, the Northern Navy returned from a great defeat due to her intelligence, and suffered heavy losses and lost the power of a battle in a short period of time. Someone will always take the blame.

Obviously, although Lan Bing's qualification is not enough, he must be the first scapegoat. Then, he found someone of the same size from the Northern Navy and became the second scapegoat. This matter is easier to explain. He explained it to the Ministry of War and also to the New Emperor. His Majesty Chu Ren, after several years, his control over the court has been revealed, which is much more powerful than the old Emperor Chu.

As a result, the matter had not yet been concluded. People from the Shengong Hall were sending messages, and the people on the Charge, from the captain to the small soldiers, and their families, the Shengong Hall were all in need.

Although Renault has left Luocheng, his legend has become more and more intense. Especially in the high-level officials of Da Chu, Renault's various legendary stories have been made up. Apart from the bullshit stories that make people get pregnant, the real examples are also extremely scary.

There is currently a Earth Immortal and four Grandmasters in the Divine Works Hall...

Not to mention secret techniques, just in a short period of time, Renault's talent development in high-end force shocked a large piece of his chin. It's okay to say that the master is hard to find a ground immortal.

Now the two earthly immortals in Da Chu are all pushed up by Renault. Do you think they are scary?

In addition, first there are planes, then hot air balloons. Nowadays, airships can fly in the sky. Who is not convinced of this kind of secret technique?

It is said that...

It is said that the Lei Master found one of the choices, with gold and silver all over the ground, and countless iron ores. There were so many that the Lei Master had no place to put them, and he was preparing to build a city with fine iron.

Is it amazing? I just ask if you are afraid!

Compared with the Lei Master who is far away in the South Palm, the Jin Master in Luo City seems to be less conspicuous. In a few years, apart from constantly improving the secret technique of Lei Master, he has never heard of any new secret technique being released.

Secret masters are respected, but in everything, they are afraid of comparison. Compared with the Lei Master who is far away in the South Palm, Master Jin seems to be a bit bad.

Lan Bing was ready to die in the prison of the Ministry of War, but was brought up by someone. There were nine other unscathed uncles who came out with her. Then she boarded the airship and returned to the northern water army camp. Whether it was the sailors or their families, they all boarded the airship, and they were transported away as long as they had a breath.

Lan Bing is just a little person, so naturally he has no say. Even if someone dies during the flight, you have to accept your fate. People are too lazy to answer her. The only thing she knows is that Master Lei from Da Chu wants to see her.

When she arrived at Nanzhang, she did not see the legendary Lei Master, but was pulled here and practiced boat control in the open space every day. Is this a bullshit?

A group of people who have never fucked a boat, teach a group of people who have been floating on the sea for the rest of their lives to fuck a boat?

Ten bachelors, one of whom was holding a thick instruction manual, read for a while, thought for a while, and taught for a while. Lan Bing and her uncle were both in trouble, so they were going to die.

It was not until ten days ago that they saw the ship, a ship made of fine iron!

The iron ship can actually float on the sea. Where can you reason about this? The sailors who have been floating on the sea for most of their lives are stunned.

What was even more shocking was that the ship had no sails and had masts, but there were no sails at all, so they were not allowed to hang sails. Instead, they were asked to learn something strange and read.

What do you mean by this? It would be better to kill a group of sailors who use swords and boats to read the word. But there is no way. People are under the short eaves and life and death are in the hands of others. You have to bow your head, including Lan Bing, you have to learn from scratch.

Not only do you need to recognize words, but you also need to know the pressure and speed...

Oh my God! Kill me.

In ten days, everyone learned hundreds of words, knew what pressure was, and could understand the secret master's numbers. Except for two hours of sleep every day, they were studying at other times, and even had to hold a book to recognize words when eating and going to the bathroom.

Looking at the short girl in front of him, Renault's eyes widened. Lan Bing was young and even smaller. Among the girls of the same age as Dachu, he was also a thin girl. He grew up eating fish and couldn't get fat at all. Fortunately, he was still healthy.

The bronze skin is covered with a healthy luster. Although it is very short, it looks quite strong.

"The greasy uncle loves little luoli the most?" Renault muttered something that no one could understand.

With a light cough, Renault sent away the unhealthy things in his mind and asked, "Are you Binglan? The captain who sunks the Austrian warship?"

"Yes." The person in front of him looked very ordinary. He is the Lei Master who was circulated into a myth?

It is said that Master Lei is not only young, handsome, and has a mysterious secret technique, but also a warrior. But he looks really average, and he can't say he is young, so handsome is even worse.

For fourteen-year-old Lan Bing, it is not surprising that she calls Renault Uncle. It has a different interpretation in the eyes of the little girl. In any case, Master Lei is an ordinary person, at least he looks very ordinary.

Renault suddenly remembered something. The content of the battle report was exaggerated and vague. He vaguely remembered that the last paragraph was in doubt, but there were many incidents at that time, so he forgot to ask in detail.

"What's your warship called? Forget it, this doesn't matter. The battle report says that the last attack of the Austrians will cause you heavy losses. What's going on with this last attack?" Renault asked.

"I don't know when I say to Master Lei. In an instant, countless iron balls swept across the charge deck, causing me to suffer heavy casualties." Lan Bing's face turned pale. Although she was different from ordinary people, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl. Whenever she woke up in a dream, she was covered in cold sweat and always dreamed of the hell-like scene.

"Countless iron balls? How big are they? What weapons are the Apolloes using? Are they fired by the crossbow or crossbow, or catapult?" Renault's heart beat so fast.

"It's so big, not a crossbow or a trencher. Lan Bing doesn't know what it is. On the side of the Austrian warship, there are many cannon windows, and iron pipes will stick out inside, making thunderous sounds. Iron balls come over, the big ones are several pounds, and the boy's are like stones." Lan Bing said with difficulty. Whether it was the Northern Navy or the Ministry of War, she was most reluctant to say this paragraph.

But she must say that the most asked was this paragraph. The Northern Navy and the Ministry of War did not seem to believe what she said, and some generals even criticized her for nonsense, which was a rude statement to shirk responsibility.

Renault was as if struck by lightning, and his sound was as loud as thunder. The iron pipes, muzzle portholes, this was a cannon.

Others don't understand, Renault would have known it much. If he hadn't looked down on the game, Shengong City would have started producing artillery long ago.

The front-mounted rifled seat retracted cannon, Renault naturally doesn't like this old antique. But even if you don't like it, you can't deny the power of this cannon, especially at close range, which is definitely a killer weapon in the sailing era.

Solid bombs, grape bombs, and chain bombs have their own advantages and disadvantages. Solid bombs are fine. At close range, the latter two types of bombs can sweep across the deck, killing people like hemp. Chain bombs can defeat sails, which can not only crush sails, but also crimp the masts.

The Ao people have developed into the firearm era, and at least they have entered the early stage of maturity. After shivering, Renault kept comforting himself. Fortunately, he has not relaxed in recent years. If he relaxed, he would be in the main face of the martial arts market, he would be different from the Ao people.

Although the early firearms cannot completely change the trend of war, it is certain that they can take advantage. They line up and shoot the party in a row, a hollow square formation...

With a large number of muskets, the restraint of the cavalry is obvious. Although it cannot achieve complete victory, it can increase the chance of defeating the cavalry with the same number of people. If multiple arms are mixed and arrayed, it is no problem to defeat pure cavalry.

If there are naval guns on the ship, the army must have land war artillery, and Da Chu will be in big trouble.
