Chapter 298: Encountering an Enemy Ship for the First Time
"Hey! The art of war! The art of war!"
Guo'er was at a loss when he saw Li Chongrun rushing to the ship with a dozen ragged guards in a hurry. He thought that all the art of war he had memorized before was in vain?
"It is said in the art of war that when things are urgent, follow authority and that soldiers must be quick. This is so imminent that there is no time to act steadily."
Fortunately, the camel machine on the paddle steamer was still on. Although the wind was in the wrong direction, the two black boats, led by a few guards who were familiar with the terrain, plowed through the turbulent waves and headed towards the opposite side of the Han River estuary without hesitation.
The city (modern Danang, Vietnam) sailed away.
The Khan River is not big, but because the rainy season has just passed, the current is very turbulent, so there are no ships wandering near the mouth of the sea.
In the command room on Galen's ship, Li Chongrun asked several guards who were familiar with the terrain about the surrounding terrain and some enemy garrison locations. He decisively gave up his original plan to land at the dock built by his brother at the mouth of the river and decided to directly
Go deep into the Khan River and directly attack the beautiful mountain holy land where the royal palace is located.
"It would be inappropriate to directly enter the enemy's heavily surrounded area."
Although Guo'er objected to Li Chongrun's strategy of rashly advancing with light troops, now that the fleet had set off, he still tried hard to persuade Li Chongrun to take a safer approach. "My sister still feels that the previously planned strategy of landing at the mouth of the river is safer."
"Bao'er, reading is indeed useful." Li Chongrun knew that this little stubborn boy would probably keep chattering to him today. Anyway, the pre-war meeting had already been held, and the palace was still twenty or thirty miles away.
Even though there are hotpot machines to help, I'm afraid it will take an hour to get there.

There was still plenty of time, so Li Chongrun simply gave a lesson to this sister who had been eager to help him with his advice for a long time.
"But sometimes, we still have to proceed from reality, take into account the changes in the problem, and extract some useful things for us from the experiences summarized by predecessors in the book." Li Chongrun brought Bao'er to the bow of the ship, and the huge
The original ramming angle position on the bow has been replaced with a dual-mounted special bow gun newly developed by the weapons factory. Although the caliber has not changed, after all, double the barrels, double the happiness, right?
"For example, if we disembark from the dock, the dozens of miles of mountain roads are not easy to pass. I am afraid that the enemy will know the news of our attack earlier. Although it is safer, it will not be in line with our combat goal today.
conflict."
Although I was really anxious, it was the time for the girl to establish her world view. Li Chongrun didn’t need to worry too much about Xianhui’s temper. Anyway, he probably wouldn’t even think about going into politics in this life. Bao’er was still
He has a lot of talent for cultivating.
"Brother is saying that if the enemy knows our movements in advance, he will be prepared, but the meaning of a surprise attack will be lost?"
"Yes, this is the first point, and the most important point is, what kind of ship is this?" Li Chongrun patted the cannon that had already taken off its gun jacket, and showed it off to Bao'er proudly.
"gunboat!"
Bao'er had been on the boat for so many days, and naturally saw the brothers of the second battalion practicing, and knew that these two boats were Li Chongrun's hard-earned hard work.
"They are two of the only four gunboats in the world today." Li Chongrun rubbed Bao'er's curly hair with the same style as Xianhui, "Brother, I know you like to read books about sages, and I always feel that Xianhui is
What you are tinkering with is strange skills, have you ever thought about a question, why does brother always allow Xianhui to do things that only craftsmen like to play with?"
"Because I can make money." Bao'er curled her lips and expressed her confusion tactfully that Li Chongrun gave up the way of being a sage and turned to such a lowly career as business.

"Then why can you make money?" Li Chongrun himself has taught Jianzhen and Rosa. Although he is not a famous teacher, he still has some experience and knows how to use some open-ended questions to stimulate students' thinking.
"It's not because my sister-in-law knows how to do business." What Guo'er said is correct. Although Li Chongrun did make a lot of money in Yangzhou, Wang Rong was in control of the specific business matters. Li Chongrun, the hands-off shopkeeper, was quite responsible.
easy.
"Rong'er's methods are really impressive, but how are they different from the previous seven major firms?"
Guo'er was stopped by Li Chongrun's question and thought about it carefully, "Is it because of those strange skills in Dongxi Factory and Jinshan Mountain?"
"It's the difference in productivity. Have you met Wei Niang's parents?"
"The steward of Xichang Winery? He's a very nice person. The fermented glutinous rice made by Aunt Xie is delicious."
"When I first met Uncle Xie, Aunt Xie had to drive more than ten miles every day to sell some glutinous rice grains by the Guan River. Uncle Xie even cried because the price of food was half a penny lower." Although.
It didn't happen a long time ago, but when Li Chongrun said it, he felt like he was remembering the past. "But brother just improved Auntie Xie's method of making wine. Although Auntie Xie's family is not rich now,
He is already a well-known wealthy family from all over the country."
"Is this the productivity improvement effect that brother mentioned?"
"Yes, let's take our expedition to Linyi this time. In the past, this trip would have taken two months to complete. But now it only takes us twenty days to cover six thousand miles.
On the waterway, the apes on both sides of the river can't help but cry, and the boat has already passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
"But what does this have to do with us rushing directly into the enemy's encirclement?"

Bao'er is a very stubborn little girl. Although she was fooled by Li Chongrun for a long time, she still has her own little persistence.
"Report to the prince."
Li San's voice sounded just right behind Li Chongrun: "An enemy ship was spotted ahead. It should be the enemy's guard ship."
Li Chongrun and Bao'er unanimously raised the telescopes in their hands and looked in the direction Li San was pointing. A slender ship sailed out of a port in front, and the densely packed oars moved the water like a long-legged centipede, hurriedly
The land sailed towards the black ship.
"Bao'er, today I'm going to let you see what technology is the primary productive force."
The bow cannon is ready for battle. The black ship is moving very quickly under the pull of the camel machine. The centipede ship on the opposite side is not running too slowly. In just a moment, even without a telescope, you can see clearly who is standing on the centipede ship.
A group of Zhenla soldiers with arrogant teeth and claws.
Unlike Linyi, who are mostly descendants of the Han family, the Kunlun people in Zhenla have heavier blood, and their skin is naturally darker.
"Two miles away!"
What came out from the opposite side was a small boat, which was not equipped with heavy weapons such as catapults or crossbows. The range of the bow and arrow was only a few dozen steps, so Li Chongrun was not in a hurry to open fire now.
Seeing that the enemy ship had already entered half a mile, and was only a hundred steps away from the enemy. Judging from the range of the artillery, there was no need to even aim. Li Chongrun raised his hand, and before he shouted the order, the Galen ship
The newly installed bow cannon roared.
