Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Gan Ning was indeed victorious.

A small half of the warships of the Western Shang Empire sank, and most of them were captured.More than [-] enemy soldiers were captured, and countless guns and shells of various types were captured.

This is really a big victory.

It is the most brilliant record since the battle with the navy of the Western Shang Empire.

Before the battle, Xu Ding boarded a large battleship.

"Your Majesty, the battleships manufactured by the Western Shang Empire are indeed much larger than ours. I don't know how to carry the weight. There must be something we can learn from." Gan Ning said.

"That's why I asked you to capture their warships."

Xu Ding entered the cabin.

The cabin is even bigger, like a huge warehouse, which can accommodate thousands of people.

Xu Ding had never seen such a big ship.

In modern times, he has only seen ships.But the ship is not so big.

In ancient times, seeing a warship of this size is absolutely amazing.

"Xingba, what have you gained from this water battle with the Western Shang Empire? What do you think is unique about the Western Shang Empire's navy?" Xu Ding also asked Gan Ning while watching the cabin.

Gan Ning replied: "If it wasn't for the [-] shells sent by the lord, I'm afraid that the general will be defeated again. It can be seen that the Western Shang Empire has some talents in water warfare."

"At least, their artillery is stronger than ours."

Xu Ding said: "You told the truth. In fact, the skills of water warfare with hot weapons are not as good as those with cold weapons. The key to their victory lies in the artillery."

"The artillery is strong, and if it can sink the enemy ship, it will be easy to win."

"If the artillery is weak and cannot compete with the enemy, it will also fail."

"Yes."

Gan Ning had already figured this out.

No matter what military wizards or masters of war, they can't compare with the range of artillery.Whoever has the longest range and the strongest power is the winner.The weaker side, even if they try again, will find it difficult to win.

"Go back to Liyang first. We will cross the Yangtze River tomorrow." Xu Ding said.

"Follow the order."

The army returned to Liyang the same way.

in the account.

Xu Ding said: "Xingba, I have already discussed with Fengxiao and Wenhe, and I am going to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the navy. If you need anything, just mention it. After this battle, I will let Xi Zhicai supervise it." .”

"Your Majesty is serious?"

"You have no jokes!"

"Great." Gan Ning was so happy that he couldn't find Bei.

"In the end, we will need [-] new troops, build [-] warships, and five divisions' weapons and ammunition." As soon as Gan Ning opened his mouth, he reported a lot of numbers.

To put it bluntly, five divisions are needed.

Jia Xu said: "General Gan, are you going too far? How can our country have [-] troops?"

"You can conscript. Are there no young men in the Central Plains?" Gan Ning had heard Xi Zhi said earlier in the morning.Due to the Great War in the Central Plains, the common people in all states and counties were famous on the battlefield.

And because of the famine, a large number of people starved to death.

The troops that can be recruited now are really limited.

But

Gan Ning didn't believe it.

In such a big world, how can there be no people?

As long as the imperial decree is confirmed, within a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers will be recruited by the states and counties, and it is said to be very easy.

"This matter, I just mentioned it first, so that you can prepare in your heart. I promised you and gave five divisions. However, now is not the time to talk about this matter. Before forming these five divisions, you We have to bring Li Yang's [-] troops to Jiangdong. Are you sure?" Xu Ding asked.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely complete the task." Gan Ning replied.

The next day.

early in the morning.

Gan Ning prepared enough warships.

There are more than [-] ships in total.

More than 300 of them are fishing boats looking nearby.

These fishing boats are not big enough to hold many soldiers.

But expensive in quantity.

Still can play a certain role.

The whole army set sail.

Move towards the opposite side of the Yangtze River.

In order to ensure the safety of Xu Ding, Jia Xu, and Lu Su, Gan Ning did not dare to be careless.He sent three troops as vanguard.The first troop, the scout army, had a total of ten small boats, one every 50 meters, lined up.

The second force is the Vanguard Army.There are twenty fighting ships and thirty warships, carrying the strength of three regiments.That is a trip.

Their mission is different from that of the Scout Army.

If you encounter an enemy army, you need to fight immediately to repel the enemy.

To put it bluntly, they are death squads.

In any case, always the first to appear.

Remove all obstacles for the army behind.

The third unit is the guard unit.

Their mission is to protect Xu Ding.
