At this time, Li Xiao casually shouted, "Why bring so many people to Qiongzhou?"
Hearing this, Linley finally believed in everything in front of him.
"How is it possible? This is actually Qiongzhou's building boat?"
"Where did they get so much money to build such a huge building?"
"That's right! Didn't it mean that Qiongzhou is desolate and barren, and it's already so poor that it's easy to have children?"
"This is absolutely impossible! It must be fake!"
Everyone had incredible looks on their faces.
"Wei Tianxing!"
Linley seemed to have thought of something, his face was very ugly, he looked at Wei Tianxing and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you report such important information earlier?"
"General Lin!" Wei Tianxing said with a frown, "The humble official said long ago that the Qiongzhou Navy should not be underestimated, if you can avoid it, you should avoid it. It is the general who insists on going his own way!"
"you!"
Linley was trembling with anger.
Only then did he remember that Wei Tianxing had indeed said such things before.
But at that time, he thought it was Wei Tianxing's crazy talk and didn't take it to heart at all.
If he had learned the information early, it would be impossible for him to order the fleet to turn around.
Now, the fleet has lowered its sails and stopped, and it is difficult to speed up in a short time.
Even if it can move, it is too slow.
No matter how powerful his collision angle is, it is not enough to cause damage to these three buildings.
"General, this is the end of the matter, there is no way to hide."
Wei Tianxing rolled his eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Since Li Xiao brought people here to intercept him, he must have guessed part of the purpose of our army's coming here."
At this time, a general stepped forward and said: "General, in my opinion, it is better to simply take the opportunity to lean over, board the building ship, kill people and seize the ship!"
Chapter 288: Fishermen can also lead troops to fight?
"General! We're going to get rich!"
Several generals were overjoyed when they heard the words.
Indeed, Li Xiao's sudden appearance on the boat gave them quite a shock.
But after thinking about it, this is not only a bad thing, but a great good thing.
"General, give the order!"
"Yes! General!"
A general analyzed with joy: "Li Xiao has only been in Qiongzhou for three years. Although I don't know where he got these three huge buildings, I dare to say that the Qiongzhou Navy is like a chicken tile." Dogs are vulnerable!"
"As long as we board the building, we can kill them all in an instant and take this huge building. When the captain finds out, the general must have done a great job!"
"That's right! In just three years, even if Li Xiao has money, he will never be able to train any powerful sailors. It's just a show."
"Haha! It's said that Li Xiao is resourceful and resourceful, but unexpectedly, he is also a fool. He knows that we are not good people, but he still dares to approach us. This is a ship for us!"
"If my Leizhou had such a huge warship, it would be so majestic..."
Several ministries have already regarded these three buildings as their own trophies after talking to you and me.
But Wei Tianxing sneered, and said calmly: "General, I feel that you must not attack the ship. We are definitely not Li Xiao's opponents!"
"shut up!"
Linley stared at Wei Tianxing, and reprimanded him, "You actually messed up our army's morale! Someone! Take him down!"
Several generals had long disliked Wei Tianxing, and immediately stepped forward to take him down.
Wei Tianxing was dragged away, but he was still shouting: "General! You must not launch an attack!"
The voice was not concealed at all, and it spread out in an instant.
On the upstairs boat, Xiang Jun's face changed, and he shouted anxiously: "Have you heard, Your Highness? They are going to attack the boat!"
"Don't shout! I'm not deaf yet!" Li Xiao said dissatisfied.
Linley and the others also changed their expressions drastically.
"quick!"
Linley quickly shouted: "Go and set down the fast boat! Get ready to attack the boat!"
"All archers, set up the deck, suppress the rain of arrows, buy time!"
"Water ghost team, swim over with the grappling hook!"
Wei Tianxing's words made all the members of the Leizhou Fleet move.
On the other hand, Li Xiao had a slight smile on his face, watching Leizhou soldiers busily busy with interest.
"It's over!"
Xiang Jun on the side was panicked.
"Your Highness, Leizhou soldiers are about to attack the ship!"
"Why are you so calm?"
"Don't panic."
Li Xiao said casually: "They are here to die, let them dance for a while longer."
"That's the elite Leizhou Navy! There are thousands of soldiers!"
Xiang Jun said with a puzzled face: "With such a distance, they can board the ship in a short time!"
"By then, it will be too late!"
"Your Highness, listen to me, let the boat turn to the left quickly, and use the speed advantage of the boat to widen the distance before they get close."
"At the same time, let the archers suppress the approaching Leizhou Navy!"
"As long as His Highness gives the order according to what the humble official said, this difficulty will definitely be avoided!"
"Do you still know how to command water battles?"
Li Xiao looked at Xiang Jun in surprise.
"What time is it now!" Xiang Jun shouted anxiously, "Your Highness, are you still asking this?"
Li Xiao asked again: "So why do you command water battles?"
"I... ugh..."
Xiang Jun was so anxious that he vomited blood, finally heaved a deep sigh, and said: "People in the Privy Council must be proficient in combat modes in all environments. This is a must."
After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness, I know you won't listen to what I say now, but I have to warn Your Highness that this Leizhou navy has undergone strict training, and its strength should not be underestimated. Your Highness had better stay behind." Otherwise, there will be nowhere to hide in the vast sea."
"A combat master in all environments..."
Li Xiao was thoughtful.
It seems that the people who left the Privy Council were right.
As far as the navy is concerned, Qiongzhou has not yet had a strong general.
Even Sailor Battalion is actually half-baked.
In the future, he will always form a sea army.
What is lacking most is various professional knowledge about life and combat at sea.
And Xiang Jun is a good candidate.
At this time, a dozen warships in Leizhou quickly put down dozens of small boats.
Every small boat was filled with Leizhou soldiers.
Holding up their shields to protect the soldiers rowing, they quickly approached the boat.
There were also quite a few brawny shirtless men who jumped up from the deck and dashed into the sea, disappearing in an instant.
Among them are sailors with a lanyard with a hook at the front.
This is used to fix the positions of the ships on both sides, and it is necessary for the string battle.
Seeing the mobilization of troops in Leizhou, Li Xiao finally said, "Okay, it's almost done, the sailor battalion assessment can begin."
After finishing speaking, Li Xiao turned his head and smiled slightly at Xiang Jun: "Xiang Jun, how about you command my sailor battalion?"
"I'll take command? Sailor Battalion?"
Xiang Jun froze in place, and asked in a daze, "There is still a sailor camp in Qiongzhou?"
"Of course there is!"
Li Xiao said angrily: "You just give the order, and someone will pass it on."
Hearing this, Xiang Jun stopped talking, and immediately shouted anxiously: "Quick! All strong archers come to the deck, and if there is an enemy within a hundred steps of the building, shoot arrows immediately!"
"Hundred steps?"
Next to him, a general in armor looked puzzled.
"Just do it." Li Xiao said lightly.
"As ordered!"
The general clasped his fists and immediately went to convey the order.
Li Xiao looked at Xiang Jun and said, "This person is the battalion commander of the Sailor Battalion, named Cai He, you can command the Sailor Battalion through him."
Xiang Jun nodded, but did not speak.
He frowned, and kept his eyes on the soldiers from the Thunder State who were approaching the sea.
After a while, hundreds of archers came to the deck, holding up their composite bows and aiming at the enemies below, but they never released their arrows.
After Cai He conveyed the order, he ran over again, looked at Xiang Jun with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Mr. Xiang, why does the enemy have to be within [-] meters to shoot arrows? Is there any mystery in this?"
Hearing this, Xiang Jun immediately frowned: "Just follow orders. The battlefield changes rapidly. If everyone asks questions like you, how can we fight?"
After speaking, he shook his head secretly.
Qiongzhou is indeed Qiongzhou.
Even if Li Xiao is capable of developing Qiongzhou's economy, he is not good at military discipline.
"Mr. Xiang, don't get angry."
Li Xiao said with a smile: "Cai He used to be a fisherman on the seashore, and commanding water battles is definitely not as professional as you, so you still need to give him more advice."
"Fisherman?"
Xiang Jun was stunned.
When will fishermen be able to lead soldiers in battle?
Isn't this nonsense?
But after thinking about it, he was relieved.
Even food in Qiongzhou was a problem, but Li Xiao has only been in Qiongzhou for three years, so how can he have time to train outstanding naval officers?
Thinking of this, Xiang Jun couldn't help but nodded and said: "Cai He, listen carefully, I'll just say it once."
"Mr. Xiang please advise!"
Cai He clasped his fists and said solemnly.
But Xiang Jun said slowly: "This hundred steps is the longest effective range of a bow and arrow."
"If it is a projectile, the hit rate is extremely low, and it will consume a lot of energy, especially in the case of limited manpower, you must not choose to projectile."
"Otherwise, when the enemy attacks the ship, our soldiers won't even be able to hold their weapons securely. How can we fight?"
"what?"
Cai He looked bewildered: "But the farthest effective range of our bow is [-] paces!"
