There are more than 1,200 water demons under Gu Zhi's sect. They are well versed in the nature of water and are also extremely good at water fighting.
However, Chentian integrated various resources and found no decent warships. Only a black-awned boat less than three feet long served as a means of transportation, which was better than nothing.
Of course he asked Xie Pengfan, and it turned out that the water demon disliked the bulkiness of the warships, and felt that fighting by ship was like fighting on land, which was extremely restrictive.
Chen Tian was speechless and could only explain the combat ideas to Xie Pengfan in detail, explaining that warships are not only transportation tools, but also mobile logistics bases that can completely determine the direction of a battle.
If a navy wants to move from victory to victory, it must go far across the waves. There is absolutely no future for it to just stay at home and show off its power.
So Xie Pengfan was ordered to collect boats for Chen Tian to train. The boat now parked at the pier was Xie Pengfan who came here after raking in all his money.
舴苋, the thing is as its name suggests.
This grasshopper-shaped boat is slightly larger than the awning boat.
Moreover, the boat is no longer powered by a bamboo pole, but two sets of thick tail rotors are placed at the stern. At the same time, there is a set of rudders and sterns at the center position of the bow as a backup.
These three sets of six oars are of distinct sizes and arranged neatly from front to back. Standing on the trestle and looking from a distance, Chen Tian felt like a grasshopper lying on the water.
"Only a dozen ships?"
"Report to your lord." Xie Pengfan clasped his fists and nodded, "Except for the awning boats used for transportation and the merchant ships dedicated to transporting goods, we will only find these sailboats in the end."
The core of the development of Guzhi is mostly in Gusu City on the shore. It does not specialize in water transportation, and it does not have its own independent manufacturing supervisor like Yongtai City.
If Chentian was in Yongtai City, he could order Qianji Pavilion to immediately build a giant ship, but in Guzhi, he could only rummage through the property.
"Okay, it's barely enough." Chen Tian thought deeply. A fully equipped sailboat requires six sailors and can carry a weight of 10,000 kilograms. Those dozen sailboats can fully cope with the logistics consumption of a battle.
He lifted up the front train and stepped onto the boat. He turned around and asked Xie Pengfan: "And how did you go about the weapons I entrusted?"
Water warfare is different from land warfare. It is difficult to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Most of the time, they are shooting at each other with arrows. Only when there is an urgent need to change the direction of the battle, can they join forces.
But considering that the water demons have just transformed into human form, expecting them to learn the art of controlling strings in two days and to be able to pierce the enemy with a hundred steps is obviously forcing them to do something difficult.
Therefore, Chentian specially arranged for Xie Pengfan to cast steel forks based on the water monster's fighting habits to arm the water monster.
After all, the time cost of practicing ordinary swords is not low. Only the steel fork, which is similar to a spear, is suitable for the water demon to exert its brute strength. Moreover, there is great resistance to swinging the sword underwater, and the steel fork is perfect for thrusting.
.
Xie Pengfan followed Chen Tian closely, opened the curtain to reveal the cabin, pointed at the neatly stacked steel forks and said: "They are all made of Yongtai City iron. They are extremely hard and can easily penetrate limbs and bones."
"Gu Zhi still has trade relations with Yongtai City?" Chen Tian picked up the steel fork at his feet. The heavy touch was very reassuring, especially the sharp three-prong tip flashing with cold light, which was particularly courageous.
Xie Pengfan shook his head: "On the eve of the war between the Northern Territory Yin Clan and Yongtai City in Makino, my Immortal Lord had already begun to hoard supplies. In addition to salt and iron, there were countless grains and grasses."
Seeing his proud face, Chen Tian couldn't help but smile and boasted: "Your Immortal has prepared for a rainy day, which is admirable."
After the quick chat, the sky cleared up.
The afternoon sun is not too dazzling, and along with the sparkling water there is a soft light, and the reeds are also covered with white velvet, as colorful as snow.
After leading the water demons to swim as usual, Chen Tian began to train the formations. This process was very boring, and the water demons' faces turned gray from exhaustion.
In fact, the flying goose formation is not difficult.
But if you want to show your true combat power, you still need to study hard and practice hard.
After all, the competition between the two armies is not all about individual bravery. Only a neat and orderly formation can form a favorable situation in which one is against ten thousand.
Chentian sat cross-legged on the deck of the boat, looking back at the water demon's rise and fall, and realized that after more than ten days of training, they had finally mastered the flying goose formation.
"Xie Pengfan is barely qualified as a general."
"He has the courage to break away from mediocrity. He is destined to be different from ordinary people and destined to go further than ordinary people."
Chen Tian thought to himself, recalling the anecdotes that Xiao Li talked about last night. In order to master the military formation as soon as possible, Xie Pengfan trained the water monster day and night.
He ordered the water demon to form a flying geese formation and hunt the fish with his bare hands. He would not rest until he harvested tens of thousands of catties of fish every day.
Now the private army was well-trained, but when they suddenly made trouble, the fishermen on the shore were so frightened that they shouted to the river god to bring disaster, and even more urged the Black Tiger Gang to deal with the monster problem as soon as possible.
Chen Tian saw this clearly, and increasingly believed that Xie Pengfan was a malleable talent. If he were taken under his command, Yongtai City's new naval commander would no longer have to look for candidates.
But I want to think about it.
Xie Pengfan is deeply benevolent by Liu Yiyi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a reborn parent. This close relationship, which is almost a blood relationship, is still extremely difficult to suppress.
"Where is Commander Xie?" Chen Tian waved.
Xie Pengfan came through the waves and swam beside the ship: "May I ask what your orders are?"
"Now that the steel fork is in hand and the military formation is mastered, it's time to merge the two into one." Chen Tian waved his hand to the ships to move closer and set up a platform for the school, "You must also have martial arts skills, you might as well show them off.
"
Hearing this, everyone saw Chen Tian take out an exquisite wooden box, knowing that it contained the Zhen Hua Dan.
In short, this martial arts display is actually a competition, and the winner will of course be rewarded heavily, so everyone's hearts are on fire, and fierce fighting spirit suddenly arises.
With Chen Tian nodding, the two water monsters immediately jumped onto the platform. After receiving the steel forks, they stationed themselves on the left and right, and then launched an offensive under Xie Pengfan's flag wave.
The scene was not intense.
But it’s extremely confusing.
Because the two water monsters have been recuperated and have become huge, the steel forks they hold in their hands are as thin as toothpicks, and each move is just a duel of strength.
When they got to the back, they simply dropped the steel forks and clashed with each other with fists.
The sudden sound waves set off a huge wave that made the boat sway from side to side, like a violent storm falling from the sky.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
"The power is indeed abundant, but what about the skills?" Chen Tian frowned deeply and saw the two water monsters falling off the boat and did not surface for a long time. He shook his head helplessly.
He stepped over a steel fork and kicked Xie Pengfan, and then came on the scene himself: "Let's do it, let me see if your foundation is solid when you step into the Lingtai realm."
Everyone has heard that Chen Tian has great fighting prowess, but they have never seen him take action. Now that they are lucky enough to see him compete with their own leader, they are naturally looking forward to it.
One thousand and two hundred water monsters surrounded the school grounds on the platform, with blazing eyes, fearing to miss every move.
Xie Pengfan was not afraid of the stage. He caught the steel fork and immediately jumped onto the boat and said loudly:
"Fistes and feet have no eyes!" "I dare you to please bear with me!"
