Zhang Yanling was silent. To be honest, Zhang Yanling didn't have a good countermeasure for the current situation.
"Let's take another look. We still don't know how powerful their firearms are. If only the Folang machine gun we know has insufficient range and power to compete with our Tiger Howling Cannon, it still has the power to fight. If, among other things, it has the power to fight.
If the warship's artillery is upgraded, there is no chance of winning. Then, I'm afraid we have to... go back home." Zhang Yanling said softly.
Chen Shiyi was speechless. This was the first time he heard such words come from Zhang Yanling's mouth. The Duke of Guo was always full of confidence and resourceful. He had never heard such words of cowardice. Today he said it
I'm afraid that when I say this, I don't say it casually, but because I really feel that I have no chance of winning.
"My lord, I have a bold proposal." Chen Shi said.
Zhang Yanling said: "Please speak."
Chen Shiyi said: "Last night, when I saw the warships of the Folangji people gathered in the harbor, with the ships next to each other and the sails connected to the sails, I thought in my heart: If I could set a fire and burn his mother
Aren't all the warships destroyed in one fell swoop? Even if we can't burn them all, burning a dozen or twenty warships will be beneficial to our subsequent operations. Now that the Duke of Guo thinks there is no chance of winning in a frontal battle, why don't we kill him?"
Zhang Yanling looked at Chen Shiyi, who was looking at him expectantly.
"Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, I also had this idea last night," Zhang Yanling said.
"Oh? So, Duke Guo and I have the same idea? The hero has the same idea? Can we give it a try?" Chen Shiyi said excitedly.
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chen, although I thought about it, I quickly gave up the idea because I'm afraid this plan won't work. With the four of us, there is no way we can sneak into the harbor. You saw the defenses beside the harbor.
Are you there? It's heavily guarded, with layers of sentries and watchtowers. There are also high walls.
Ka. Including the navy, there are at least tens of thousands of French soldiers and horses in the military port. Not to mention whether we can get out alive, the key point is that we can't get in. If we can sneak in, we can do something.
But I’m afraid they will notice us as soon as we show up. Our faces are too conspicuous and we are completely different from them.”
Chen Shi scratched his head and looked disappointed. But he actually understood that Zhang Yanling was right. He also saw the guard towers surrounding the military port, countless patrolling soldiers and horses, rows of military camps, and Jiangjun Port.
Completely fenced with high stone walls and checkpoints.
This thing sounds beautiful, but it may not be possible to implement.
Chen Shiyi sighed and said: "I thought this was a good plan. I have been with the Duke for so long, and I wanted to imitate you and go straight to the internal affairs of Huanglong. But I didn't think it through well and made a joke. I still have to listen honestly because of my humble position.
That’s what the Duke of Guo ordered.”
Zhang Yanling hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Chen, you don't have to be depressed, your idea is right. This matter is not completely impossible. Maybe there are loopholes around the port that you can sneak in. But you can't act blindly and lose your life in vain. This way
, if you have good physical skills, you can go down to the cliff forest above the port and do a good reconnaissance to see if there is a way to sneak in secretly. You can also investigate the location of the opponent's sentry tower and the patrol pattern of soldiers and horses. If there is an opportunity, act
, these are all things you need to understand.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shi cheered up again, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm thinking of approaching for investigation. I'll go right away."
Zhang Yanling said: "Be careful, don't expose your traces. I will observe the enemy ship formation training here. After the fog dissipates for a while, you should be able to see the firing of their artillery. We each perform our duties. In the afternoon,
This meeting."
Chen Shiyi accepted the promise and asked the remaining bodyguard to protect the Duke, and then he took another bodyguard brother and disappeared into the dense forest.
Zhang Yanling squatted on the rock and observed the actual combat drill of the Folang robot warship on the sea. As the sea fog dissipated, the situation observed in the telescope became clearer and clearer.
The opponent formed three combat formations around three giant warships. They moved forward and retreated, encircling and outflanking, and advanced and retreated in a controlled manner.
Zhang Yanling understood clearly that the three large ships were the flagships of the three warship formations. Someone waved a flag above the ship building. As the flags changed, the ships made various maneuvers in a uniform manner. The flags were orders.
Among the three large ships, the one with a red background, white square frame, and a white cross in the middle of the diamond-shaped corners is the core flagship of the entire fleet. Zhang Yanling observed that every time the flag changed, it was this one.
Change first, and then other combat formations will immediately follow suit.
Zhang Yanling memorized this ship. If a war breaks out, this flagship will be the first to be dealt with. This should be the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Fleet of the Fo Langji Kingdom.
Zhang Yanling's guess was correct. The war ship flying the flag of the Franchi Empire was Almeida's ship, named "Flower of the Ocean".
Soon after, the warships at sea began artillery shooting drills again. This time Zhang Yanling could see clearly that seven or eight target ships came from the east canyon, and the Fo Lang warship formation immediately outflanked them from both sides and blocked them in the middle, forming a siege.
Amidst the roar of cannons, in just a tea break, the target ships were hit one after another, caught fire, and then sank.
Zhang Yanling was very surprised, but what surprised him was not that the opponent sank the target ship so quickly, but that he estimated the distance between the target ship and the firing ship, which should be about two miles away. The opponent may not have used the one he used.
Zhifa Lang machine gun.
The Folan cannon that I know has a range of up to two miles, but that is the ultimate distance, and the artillery fired on the sea obviously has a longer range than the Folan cannon that I know.
That meant that the opponent's warships were equipped with artillery with newer power and greater range. This was what surprised and troubled Zhang Yanling.
However, only a few warships opened fire, and it seemed that not all of the opponent's warships were equipped with new artillery. This was probably the only news that could make Zhang Yanling feel better.
After observing for a while, the opponent came and went with the same several formations and tactics, but there was actually nothing to see. Zhang Yanling was in a bad mood, and at noon, the sun was shining directly above his head, making it very hot, so he retreated to the forest on the top of the mountain.
I wanted to drink water and rest. At the same time, I also wanted to think about countermeasures quietly.
It was very quiet in the woods. Although the rumble of cannons could be heard in the distance from the sea, it made the woods seem even quieter. Zhang Yanling squinted and sat under a tree, deep in thought. He could hear the leaves rustling in the wind, and the birds.
Birds chirped in the shade of the trees, and my mood gradually calmed down.
Zhang Yanling warned herself that at this time, she must stay clear-headed and calm, do not rush to conclusions, consider everything comprehensively, and do not act hastily. While not belittle yourself, you must also pay special attention to your opponents. This is all about life and death, honor and disgrace, and everything.
The big picture.
A shrill neighing sound was heard, and outside the woods, there seemed to be the sound of horse hooves galloping rapidly.
Zhang Yanling stood up in a hurry and looked out of the forest alertly. The guards beside him also put their hands into their arms, ready to take their weapons.
Zhang Yanling waved her hand and tiptoed to the edge of the forest. She could hear the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, but it was inside the wooden fence of the tall manor standing not far away. Through the fence that was one person high, nothing could be seen.
not see.
Zhang Yanling was relieved. He thought that some Franco Cavalry had discovered the trace and came to search for it. Now it seems that it was just someone riding a horse inside the manor wall. However, the horse's hoofbeats were rapid and the horse neighed for a long time, which seemed to be mixed with
A woman screamed. This made Zhang Yanling stop and listen carefully to carefully identify what happened.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and it seemed to be within the fence, and it seemed to be rushing straight towards the fence. Just when Zhang Yanling was in a daze, he saw a silver-gray horse leaping into the air and leaping over a person.
The high wooden railings and walls jumped out like soaring clouds and mist.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Yanling would have thought it was a weird dream. A horse leaped out from a fence that was as tall as a person, and sitting on the horse was a pale-faced girl with blond hair and blue eyes, and her beautiful face was full of panic.
, a woman screaming at the top of her lungs. This scene is simply weird.
The horse jumped into the air and landed on the ground. The girl immediately screamed and hugged the horse's neck. She almost fell due to the bumps and hung half of her body on the horse's back. The long pleated skirt on her body was rolled up, revealing her slender and strong thighs.
The horse actually didn't fall down and rushed towards the woods where Zhang Yanling was.
Zhang Yanling immediately realized that this was a frightened horse, because the horse's eyes were red and white foam was spraying from its mouth. Horses are sometimes very elegant animals, but sometimes they become crazy when they get angry. They
They will rush and bite regardless, even if there are mountains of swords, seas of fire, and cliffs ahead. In this situation, once the horse rushes into the woods, the woman on the horse will be seriously injured. Because the scraping and collision of the trees will cause
Her life is at risk.
"Ajiuda! Ajiuda!" Immediately, the blond girl screamed loudly with a crying voice.
Although Zhang Yanling didn't know what he meant, he figured it must be something like saving lives. At that moment, he had no time to think about it, so he ducked out of the forest and rushed towards the horse's head.
The horse, with red eyes and bared teeth, rushed towards it with no intention of stopping. Zhang Yanling knew that he could not force himself, and his purpose was to save people. So at the moment the horse rushed towards him, he flashed his body and reached out to grab the horse.
on horseback
The girl on one side pushed her waist hard, then rolled back. One of the girl's feet came out of the stirrup, and her body was dragged off the horse by a strong force. Then she and Zhang Yanling rolled on the ground into a human hot wheel.
.
The crazy horse rushed into the woods, and heard a series of clicking sounds. The horse broke several small trees, and finally the saddle was caught on the cross branch of a tree, and it stopped with a loud neighing.
Zhang Yanling rolled around on the ground holding the girl, and finally his back hit the root of a tree. His body was in severe pain, and he finally stopped.
