    So Zhu Youxiao gave them adequate food and salary and the highest respect, and they reciprocated the favor and trained with full energy!  A soldier dies for a confidant, a woman looks for someone who pleases her, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a short time, fighting as a soldier, shrouding corpses in horse leather, killing the enemy to serve the country, making achievements, and selling goods to the emperor's family. These have become things that are ripe and fall into place. Being close to the army, this kind of  Honor is not as simple as in the early Ming Dynasty. As long as it is a unit, it will be given the title of pro-military. Even the secret service organization has a designation.  The current pro-army are the emperor's pro-army in the true sense!  See how difficult it is to obtain the designation of many pro-army soldiers. The white-pole soldiers were killed. The Tianxiong Army was built by the most favored Lu Xiangsheng. Needless to say, the reputation of Jingjun and Jinyiwei is good. Tianqiu Army and Tianying Army are well-known.  The soldiers were all forced to fill it out with their lives.  The other armies didn't even dare to think about it. Only two teams came to fight desperately. One was in the northwest grassland and the other was in Liaodong.  "The Navy was labeled pro-military when it was established. How lucky it is!"  Navy generals cherish this title.  Especially when they learned that the emperor had considered the Leiden Navy soldiers as the seeds of the Ming Navy, they trained even harder.  What are seeds?  The seeds are blooming all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, spreading all over the country. Wherever there are waterways and navy, the generals in front of you are likely to take root and bear fruit wherever they go.  If you don¡¯t endure the hardships, it will be difficult to become a master!  In the initial stage of the Navy, the competition at this time is the fairest, and everything is based on skills!  Now that your ¡®supreme leader¡¯ is in the middle of the team, it¡¯s time to test your results, it¡¯s time to show off your power, it¡¯s time to kill the enemy and make your name, how can you show off your performance?  After a brief circle, the fleets on both sides finally found their direction and began to accelerate and charge forward with an indomitable offensive.  Western fleets rely on more ships and more guns.  But the Ming army relies on the fact that the ship is tall and big. If it hits you, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed!  The Western fleet is accustomed to naval battles and is a veteran among veterans, talking and laughing equally.  The Ming army was extremely nervous, despite the return of the old navy of Leiden.  But most of them are new recruits, and their nervousness and excitement are all showing.  The two fleets finally got closer. Once they reached the artillery range of six miles, the coalition force Zorn immediately ordered the rudder to be turned sideways, facing the Ming fleet with the side string, and after a slight formation.  Begin their ¡®volley of ten thousand guns!  'This is to give the Ming army a show of strength. In this battle, Zorn represents the Netherlands. The largest number of ships in the fleet are Dutch ships. This comes to show off his power and establish his absolute dominance in this sea area. It is shocking.  Shocked other countries.  And Mingguo is his stepping stone!  Suddenly there was an overwhelming amount of ¡®cannonballs¡¯.  In the ear-piercing explosion, it was launched!  Even the process of testing the gun is eliminated.  Anyway, it was a test launch, and the results were not much different.  The volley of two to three thousand cannons was so terrifying that the ocean was shaken by such a huge sound, and there were also more waves.  It¡¯s not accurate enough to make up the quantity!  This was the navy's strategy, before the lack of targeting devices and guidance systems, on such undulating seas.  This is all that can be done.  In fact, the entire Western world had already begun an arms race during this period. The competition was very simple, to see who could build the biggest ship and be equipped with the most cannons.  Obviously this is the only way to determine the status of the ocean.  The Netherlands is making a lot of money out of this. The cost of their ships is always about 40% lower than that of other countries.  Therefore, he built more and more ships. At most, it exceeded the total number of ships of Britain, Portugal, Spain, France and other countries, with more than 10,000 ships.  Pushed the coachman to the highest position.  The shells roared in, carrying the black color of death!  Coming overwhelmingly.  This visible power made Zhu Youxiao's heart palpitate. He didn't know how many of this wave of shells would fall on his fleet and how many lives they would take away.  "Boom!" A cannonball was grabbed quickly.  It was the first to hit the bow of the cement ship, but there was no unexpected sensation.  The sound of the iron ball colliding with the cement concrete was heard, and the ship swayed.  A lot of cement also fell from the ship.  The iron ball was also bounced into the water and splashed.  "Can't penetrate?" "How is this possible?" Zorn, Luo Bao and others, who were holding telescopes to look at the effect of the first round of firing, could easily see the effect of the first shell!  But give them a pretty big hit.  Is the ship not afraid of cannonballs?  Then the shells began to fall like rain, and some rushed to the ship, rampaging and attacking, and they were invincible to all who stood in their way, whether it was cannons or sniper crossbows, they were directly and ruthlessly destroyed!  Of course, the damage caused by the solid iron ball to the hull is not the initial impact. The greater force is the 'bounce' back and forth when it hits the ship, which may be harmful to the real thing.He has the qualifications and ability to block, but for the human body, blocking means death, and the lightest one is disability, which is equivalent to grabbing the jackpot.  It wasn¡¯t until I encountered a ¡®sandbag¡¯ that I encountered a buffer and became more honest and no longer naughty.  Things like SARS can stop the bounce of artillery shells. This common sense of war was of course proposed by Zhu Youxiao.  ??????????????????????????????At first, everyone was puzzled. The ship is already heavy, so what does it mean to have all this dirt on the deck?  But after Zhu Youxiao explained it, everyone finally understood.  Even so, hundreds of cannons and sniper crossbows on the deck were broken.  Personal injuries?  There are no personnel on the third deck at this time. Except for the gunner on the bow, it is a charge now. We are still five or six miles away from the opponent. What are the pro-troops doing on the deck at this time?  Everyone who was up there hid behind the deck, and everyone who wasn't there hid in the cabin.  This round only resulted in tens of casualties, which can be completely ignored for a battle of this scale.  "Okay!" The opponent's round of artillery shells had at least thousands of artillery shells, but the Ming army admitted that this first round of strikes was not that big. Too many artillery shells missed the target and sank into the sea.  What actually landed on the ship were only thirty or so iron balls.  And if it hits the ship, no matter where it hits, it won't have much significant effect.  You must know that this is a cement ship. There is steel inside the cement. Hitting it with a cannonball is the same as smashing a wall. At most, the cement will be smashed away, but the steel will still stay inside.  "The ship built by the emperor is indeed impregnable!" Yuan Keli took a deep breath, feeling relieved now.  You must know that this kind of charge is the same as Jiannu's charge against the Ming army. It means carrying long-range weapons, enduring casualties, and engaging the Ming army in the shortest possible time.  If you can get over it, it will be Jiannu's victory, but if you can't get over it, you will have to die on the road.  Now the Ming army is charging the Western Allied Forces. What's more troublesome is that during the charge, the enemy can retreat calmly.  There is also time to charge, because this is the sea, and the speed of the ship is limited no matter how fast it is.  Moreover, the opponent does not have a fixed position and can move in and out.  There must be some damage in this process, just big or small.  But now, it is obvious that this loss is so small that it is pitiful, which of course makes Yuan Keli quite relieved.  "The distance in front of you is the most critical point of this battle, Yuan Aiqing, proceed as planned!" Zhu Youxiao has always been most concerned about the hit rate of artillery. Regarding the artillery output of Western ships, the Ming Dynasty is still far behind.  In this battle, we don't dare to count on our own cannons to show off their power. The most important thing is to rely on sniper crossbows.  But the short range of the sniper crossbow is the biggest drawback. What we have to fight now is whether the Ming army can hold on within the range difference between the opponent's artillery and the sniper crossbow. They held on and got within two miles of the enemy ship.  Therefore, the balance of victory in this battle has already reached the side of Ming Dynasty.  Whether you can hold on or not depends on the hit rate of the enemy's artillery. Cement is good at resisting fire, but cement is only resistant to the hull. The sniper crossbows and soldiers on the deck are not targets of resistance.  At a distance of four miles, depending on the enemy's guerrilla and artillery fire rates, six or seven artillery shells can be fired.  During this period, tens of thousands of artillery shells will be fired. If every shot is successful, one Ming army ship will have to withstand two to three hundred artillery shells.  Then all the weapons on the deck would be destroyed.  And now, the hit rate is only one or two percent, so why should we be afraid?  "Your Majesty, this ship is really not afraid of artillery? And the cannons that hit the ship didn't even jump a few times. Your Majesty, there are some divine ships, so why worry about the instability of the sea and the disturbance of the coast? Your Majesty is a wise man!" Zheng Zhilong had seen the cement early in the morning.  For ships, we have long heard about the inspection of sturdiness.  But now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am still amazed. Everyone can see what it means.  Isn't this just like the vertical shield held during land battles?  With this layer of solidity, you don't have to worry about the enemy's long-range artillery, you just have to step forward.  "Long live!" "Long live!" "Long live!" This round of passive beatings for the soldiers on the Ming Dynasty ship finally ended. It was quite difficult. Of course, this difficulty was only due to psychological factors.  Seeing that the enemy's volleys had no effect, the soldiers were naturally excited.  The sturdiness and durability of cement ships was tested for the first time by war. This test was so prestigious.  It seems like two people are fighting. One person has magical power to protect his body and the other is normal. So the person with magical power to protect his body has nothing to worry about. He can just chase the other person and beat him up.  This is very similar to the vertical shield owned by the emperor. When standing in front of the body, it is a final layer of protection that cannot be penetrated. But when you pick up the divine crossbow, you can shoot it accurately, and you can advance, retreat, attack or defend.  What is this, the perfect combination of spear and shield, the most considerate care of the warrior, RuyiIt's so outrageous, it's a cheating device on the battlefield!  The morale of the sailors was even more shaken. Everyone likes to fight this kind of battle.
