Chapter 732 Live ammunition misses, eat zero eggs

"Of course, I didn't let you commit suicide, your target will be a small sampan. Every training day, you have twenty chances with a gunboat. Of course, because of too many guns in this general's flagship, I only have eighty chances. There is no way. Who made me your boss? Is this a loss? Do you recognize it?" I stopped and looked at these students with a smile, so they naturally had to recognize it.

"Hehe, of course, that is, every gun position on each gunboat can be attacked twice. As long as you hit the small sampan, then you gunners will give up the opportunity to eat eggs. Without the gunboat, you can eat delicious eggs. And if there is a gunboat that misses the sampan, then you must hang such a flag on your mast.

If your gunboat did not hit any target during one day's training, I would like to tell you with relief that not only do you have to eat eggs for me, but you also have to hang five such flags! Hang me on for a whole day, "I laughed proudly. Well, I felt so happy. General Zhang and others standing behind me were all stunned. The students in front of me were all straight and looked at me, the master of the college, with a black look. It seemed that at this time, a tail with a barbed tail stretched out from my butt, and two twisted long horns grew on my head.

I still walked two steps slowly and said loudly: "If I failed the next day, I will do this and give this general eggs and hang this flag. If there is any gunboat that has failed for three consecutive days, then I, the chief of the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty, will put a unique medal on your chest, and there is a zero egg on it, and the flagship of the general is changed. Now, you answer me. Who wants to eat these eggs?!"

"Don't want it!" All the students of the twenty-one square formations roared with great courage. The expressions of everyone's greedy expressions had turned into anger. Well, at least when they stared at the pile of eggs and the flag, the eyes of one and two turned into hatred.

"Very good!" I nodded, satisfied with everyone's performance, and waved: "Today, you only have one task, that is, to quickly understand your artillery position as soon as possible, and to familiarize yourself with the weapons in your hands as soon as possible. Let it play its due role in this battle. Instead of letting you hold this broken flag, become the laughing stock of my Tang navy, and become a shame to my Tang Military Academy! Do you understand?"

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"I understand!" Everyone stood upright, and their tone seemed so powerful and firm. The morale now cannot be described as high, but can be expressed as boiling. Under the command of the captains of their respective places, the students began to trot and lined up neatly toward their ships. The pier trek, which was only two meters wide, did not show any congestion or discomfort. Moreover, the students only stepped to the rhythm of the whistle and did not make any noise.

General Zhang's arm fell on my shoulders. When I turned around, the general's thumb was raised: "Boy, ox, I have never seen soldiers with such a way of leading them, and I have never seen a soldier like this. I have gained some knowledge today."

"It's just that the general laughs. These are just means that they cannot be used as a prestigious method. How can they be seen by everyone?" I smiled and said modestly. This method is probably effective for students like the Tang Military Academy, who have a strong sense of collective honor. As for other troops, we can't say anything about it.

"General Fang is too humble. This method not only motivates the soldiers, but also makes the whole ship all the people unite, which is beyond the expectations of the officials." At this time, a middle-aged official behind General Zhang stood up and smiled faintly at me.

Liu Rengui, it seems that he hasn't left the navy yet. I said excitedly: "Oh, it was Lord Liu, haha, you and I have been separated for more than a year. Today I meet Lord, and my style remains unchanged."

General Zhang smiled proudly and pointed at Liu Rengui: "I love you, I know that you are very close to my chief minister, so I will bring him together today. If there is anything, just discuss it with him." It turns out that General Zhang is quite good at caring about people, so he sent me a contact officer who was able to negotiate, which is exactly what I want. "In this way, it is better to obey your orders than respectful."

"You guys, you all come here to see Deputy General Manager Fang. From today on, if you have no training, you will take turns to the gunboat ship led by Deputy General Manager Fang and have a good look at me, how Deputy General Manager Fang trains gunboats. In the future, if you don't understand what you are, you will be very wrong. Don't blame me for the ruthless military law." General Zhang raised his face and shouted loudly to the dozens of generals behind him seriously.

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Then, accompanied by Xi Junmai, I led General Zhang and his group to visit the gunboat. On the deck of the naval gun, General Zhang's eyes were lit and his mouth was stroking the naval gun with a shiny surface. The black holes seemed to swallow everything. There were four wheels under the cannon body, two large wheels in front and two small wheels behind. After being placed in the cannon position, a horn about one centimeter thick and about two meters long and width was installed below the cannon position. The two small wheels behind the naval gun had been folded down and a special leather pad was installed. This way, the impact on the ship's body and deck when the naval gun was fired can be reduced.

This is a three-layer artillery deck, with a total of ten naval guns installed. Moreover, on the ship board at the head of the third-layer artillery deck of the gunboat, two sealed muzzles were specially opened to prevent sudden attacks from the enemy. Without the time to transfer the ship to meet the enemy, you can directly bombard the enemy from the front. Of course, I also poked two muzzles on the buttocks of the ship.

General Zhang praised my ideas very much. Of course, who are we? We were a time traveler who came to the Tang Dynasty from the era of electronic space shuttles. If we didn’t even have this knowledge, it would be better to squat in the thatched cottage and kill myself.

"Can you try?" General Zhang hesitated for a while and thought that I had made this request. Of course, there was no problem. My Tang Dynasty gun fleet was originally a model fleet. Its main purpose was to fight, but more importantly, it was to bring new tactical concepts into the Tang Dynasty naval commander so that they could understand that the naval commander was not only fighting in small rivers, but could even be strong enough to occupy and conquer other countries.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

As the artillerymen became familiar with the extreme operation, in less than a minute, everything was ready. With the huge roar, they felt that their ears were hidden, and a smoke rose from the muzzle. Then, the generals and schoolmen who were watching the muzzle soon saw a water column rising from the far away of the blue sea. This marked the official start of the debut of the Tang Dynasty Navy Gun Fleet.

A fast-speed car was pulled by a fast car and painted a red sampan with a long rope. On the sampan, several long poles were specially erected, with flying red cloth strips tied to it, and were walking towards the target area quickly. Soon, it had reached more than 1,500 meters away from our warship. Soon, the car and ship threw down the small sampan and fled from the target area alone. Then the messenger on the sampan waved the signal flag and told us that everything was ready to be completed.

The flagship captain, a school-level teacher of the Datang Naval Military Academy, was yelling loudly: "The enemy ship appears on my port side, everyone will immediately go to the combat post!" Then, with the sound of commands being passed down, the gunmen on the deck of the ship quickly ran to the left gun position with my order, cleared the gunboat, loaded the medicine bag, and fired the artillery shells. The distance measuring officer measured the distance and the speed of the opponent and reported loudly: "The distance is 1,500 meters, move one or five degrees right..."

At this time, we could already see a cannon barrel extending from the side of the ship. Under the sun, there was a silver-white and blue-toned cold light, slowly tilting towards the target.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! I stood on the upper deck of the gunboat, and there were Liu Rengui and some generals who came here to learn gunboat tactics. Everyone was holding telescopes and looking into the distance. After a few breaths, a water column appeared on the edge of the sampan. Unfortunately, no shot could hit it. Apart from the sigh of annoyance, there was no second sound or emotion.

I also slapped the ship in the side of the ship angrily. The general's warship had already finished the first round and he didn't even touch the hair of a sampan. Although eating eggs was nothing to me, I could still gain a good reputation for sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. But the problem is that everyone will feel uncomfortable when eating this kind of egg, including me who came up with this bad idea.

Liu Rengui put down his telescope, pointed to the target ship that was wandering leisurely in front of him, and smiled at me, "Sir, this seems to be too difficult. Such a small ship, even a magic gunner, may he not be able to hit a single shot even if he has a hundred shots?"
