Beside Qin Dongyang are the Ge brothers, Lin Cunxin, Dong Ruixiang, Li Xingwu, Li Fuxiang, Li Pu, Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan, and other generals led their troops respectively. All the soldiers were placed in a location of more than ten miles and gradually began to gather.

The main force of the First Army was still in the Nan'anxi military camp, but gradually set out towards Huaxi.

Jin Baoyi was the deputy commander of the army. His flag was raised high, and a team of commanders rushed to the garrisons everywhere, one after another, and the flags were flying, and then another battalion. The six battalions of the First Army were arranged for several miles, with more than 500 people and one military formation. Each military formation was arranged in a horizontal lineup. After responding to the flag, it was lined up in columns. Then the soldiers did not immediately start wearing armor, but originally sat with swords, drinking water, chatting, and waiting for the next military order.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, with the military horns, the flags, and the generals gathered together to talk, and there was nothing special about it.

The same is true for the Second Battalion. They are even further away. The gray gray robes are quite conspicuous on the green fields and grass. Even if they are far apart, you can still see the fiery red military flags and the pieces of gray robes, as well as the distinctive military formations they set up like knife-cuts.

Military flags, drums, military horns, and the horses that were sent to the orders were galloping in the gaps. The soldiers either sat in a stern or cross-legged, and there were baggage soldiers not far away. Now fire soldiers, transport soldiers and medical soldiers formed a baggage barracks. Each army had a baggage barracks to support them. They were responsible for many logistics matters. When fighting on the island, the logistics pressure was relatively small, but the fire men still set up a stove in the good places to prepare hot water and food in advance.

The medical soldiers were the most nervous group. They had already set up tents at a safe distance outside the battlefield. A group of medical officers walked out of the Marquis' mansion with great worries and walked towards the field hospital.

It is enough to leave one or two people by Junhou. More doctors, especially those in trauma and orthopedics, should mostly go to positions they are familiar with in time.

Disinfection, debridement, stop bleeding, bandage, bone assembly, bone correction, they are very skilled and good at.

With the efforts of the military medical officers of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, countless soldiers of the government were saved, and many soldiers of the government who might have been disabled were also freed from the bad luck.

When seeing doctors in white robes gathered, this scene made the soldiers feel creepy and no one wanted to enter that place, but it also made the soldiers feel at ease.

This is the last reliance. No one wants to use it, but when you know it, it makes people feel relieved.

"Each general returns to the base camp and wait for the military order." After the order was passed, Qin Dongyang led some senior generals to the top of Nan'anxi port. He observed the situation on the sea for a while. The sails gathered more and more, and the ship in front was quite close, and almost the whole view of the hull could be seen.

This is a typical style of a Tianfang ship. The waterline type is easier to get wind than a pointed and square-tailed bus, so the speed will be faster. However, without a watertight cabin, it is easy to overturn a wreck. This kind of ship sails near the sea is not as good as a bus. However, if it is a long-range sailing, the bus is safer, but it carries less goods and is slower, so it is not very suitable for long-distance sailing.

Of course, this is not fair to the people who have traveled across the East and West countries. It can only be said that the people of the Great Wei are more able to endure hardships, be braver, and go further. If there are different marine cultures, the Great Wei can actually do more successfully.

It is only the threat from the north that the Great Wei and even the entire China must adhere to the social model that is mainly farmed, form the imperial court, determine the national system, and deal with nomadic use through farming and fighting. This is a deeply rooted thing. Even though the people in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou in Mingzhou were extremely superior, the entire imperial court, especially the people in the north, would still regard them as hens laying golden eggs.

The Tianfang Ship is narrower and longer, and the Garen Ship has not yet appeared. After the artillery, the Tianfang Ship and the European Ship have become larger, with cannons installed in the cabin, and the tail building is larger and wider. Now the situation is still different after the large-scale application of the hull and artillery.

There are still corners and legacy of the style of paddling battleships.

These ships are warships, or converted into warships. Some have built tail towers and equipped with crossbows or stone casting cannons. Some even have early-style artillery.

Although it is still far apart, the approaching pirate ship is obviously equipped with horns.

Crossbows, cannons, catapults, a large number of fully armed pirates, and those horns. Although they would not fight with pirates at sea, such a fleet still gave people a very strong sense of oppression.

Qin Dongyang also felt a sense of powerlessness.

He was surrounded by the Ge brothers, Zhang Huchen and Gao Shilai also rushed over, Liu Yi and Tian Heng and other generals were in Penghu, and the entire Nan'an Marquis' Mansion had their own strengths.

Many generals have emerged, including Qin Dongyang, Liu Yi and others, including Zhang Huchen, are quite famous on Fujian Road. Especially Zhang Huchen, who followed Xu Zixian in the capital to rush into the Dasan Mansion. His beard and heroic figure immediately left a deep impression on the capital.

In the land struggle for power, Qin Dongyang and others were not afraid of anyone, including elite troops like the Great Wei Imperial Army.

On the sea, when you see cloud sails in large numbers and see a large number of pirates coming, you have to feel a little frustrated and awe-inspiring.

fear.

Pirate ships are not divided into warships or merchant ships, and almost all are equipped with various long-range weapons, whether they are crossbows or stone cannons for throwing. In addition, the horns and vicious pirates give people a strong sense of oppression.

There are about 300 pirate ships, and there may be fewer or more. There is no specific judgment in a hurry. But it is certain that many are large warships, and there is a large ship in the middle of each small ship. The small ships next to them seem to be toys. Although Qin Dongyang and others are not experts in naval warfare, they have some understanding. They know that those seemingly huge warships are at least large ships of about 300 to 500 tons. When the Great Wei was in its peak, they once built thousands of tons of treasure ships, but it was quite difficult to build those treasure ships. Later, the main battleships of the Wei Navy were large blessing ships or Guangdong ships of about 500 tons. Now, the main battleships of the Wei army did not have more than 300 tons of warships. On the other hand, although there are no large ships of thousands of tons, there are many large warships of 300 to 500 tons. Compared with the two, a sense of sadness arises naturally.

"I wonder what happened there?" Ge Cunzhong and Ge Cunyi looked at each other, and both brothers could see each other's concerns.

Qin Dongyang heard this and said, "It should be no major problem."

Liu Yi, Tian Heng and others were stationed in Penghu. In addition to the two thousand navy soldiers, there was also the Penghu garrison army recruited by Wei Yi later, and there were about two thousand people.

Because Penghu was attracted by the Dongfan, more than ten thousand people were strong, and there were about thousands of families, the pressure on life on the island was greatly reduced. Then, with the support of Xu Zixian, Wei Yi also recruited two thousand wing troops. Of course, this wing army is the real wing army, which is to pick some wing troops among the locals, do simple training, distribute weapons, adjust private goods, prevent theft, and check whether there are any evil things in the place. In wartime, it is just an auxiliary to the war soldiers.

There are two thousand regular soldiers and two thousand auxiliary soldiers in Penghu. In addition, Wei Yi is a good official, honest and cautious, and often goes to the countryside and county. Penghu does not control the local officials and gentry and clans. Once there is a warning, it is estimated that Wei Yi will recruit people and strong people. There are still 20,000 to 30,000 people in Penghu now, and it is not difficult to recruit thousands of strong people. The people all know that once pirates capture the defense of Penghu, the people on the island will be slaughtered. Therefore, they can share the same hatred and fight against the enemy together.

Qin Dongyang briefly analyzed a few words. After hearing this, the Ge brothers nodded. They were also very smart people. They were not only brave, but also knowledgeable about the general trend. If not, how could they have been rampant on Fujian Road for more than ten years?

It was just caring and chaotic. Liu Yi was introverted and weird. He had a bad temper. He had few friends in the Nan'an Prefecture Army system. He had good friends with the Ge brothers because they were all straightforward men. After drinking several times, several people established a considerable friendship. Now that the sea and sky are separated, they saw the sea boats that covered the sky and isolated Penghu and the Dongfan. A sense of powerlessness made the Ge brothers feel a little worried.

However, Qin Dongyang's analysis was very reasonable. Everyone present nodded. The water flowed rapidly and the terrain was steep. There were warships, two thousand warships and thousands of soldiers, and the civilians were strong. There was no reason for pirates to bite that hard bone.

At this time, the garrison personnel on the lighthouse had already got off the tower. Several people rowed the boats to rush to the shore. The pirate ships several miles away had their cannons fired their cannons. The stone-cattering cannons on the boats were the return cannons. The Tianfang boats had the tradition of loading stone-cattering cannons. In the whistling sound, the polished rocks roared into the air with a loud noise, flew out hundreds of steps away, and then smashed into the sea water, smashing out the water column that jumped into the air.

Several warships were throwing stones, but the paddling boats were quite flexible. They shuttled back and forth in the water column and quickly sailed to the shore. A group of guards did not care to dock the boats, and even threw stones fell one after another. They threw the boats and walked forward in the knee-deep sea water. After they arrived on the shore, they ran wildly until they ran to the vicinity of the warehouse area. They were shocked, bent down and half-squatted down, and breathed heavily.

A large number of civilian soldiers and soldiers saw the situation when the pirate ship fired their cannons. The civilian soldiers were silent, and the civilian soldiers could not stop the screams of people.

Qin Dongyang looked solemn and said to everyone on the left: "Fortunately, we never planned to attack the enemy halfway."

"If that's true, his mother's intelligence is wrong." Jin Bao spitted on the ground and cursed: "These maids are raised by plundering at sea all day long. It would be strange if there are no cannons or powerful crossbows."

It was originally a good choice to attack the enemy half-cross, but if the enemy landed on the beach, it would be bombarded by pirate ships of all sizes with stone cannons and powerful crossbows. Under the suppression of these warships, the government army would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Even if it could be stopped for a while, the pirates would come ashore sooner or later, and the government army would no longer have the ability to line up and fight again.

This is the biggest difference between naval warfare and land warfare!

A large number of sea ships appeared and gradually forced them. Judging from the number of ships and the number of large ships, these pirate ships did not leave many ships in Penghu.

Qin Dongyang nodded slightly and said to himself softly: "He has a great ambition, and he is also arrogant and arrogant. He has the opportunity to defeat the enemy."

The voice was very low, but the Ge brothers, Jin Baoyi and others heard it, and everyone nodded slightly.
