Chapter 765: Dayan Navy, the war begins!
Yan Fuyao protected Gongsun Wan'er and glared at Shen Changgong, which made Shen Changgong lose all his temper.
The family status is too low.
Then, Yan Fuyao pulled Gongsun Wan'er and said,
"That's great, you're pregnant too. The three children are all about the same age, so they can study together, grow up and play together in the future. They'll all be companions.
Unlike me, I have never had any companions since I was a child. Only you occasionally come to the palace to play with me, and you are still with me when I grow up.
In the future, our children won’t have to follow my path and will have companions from a young age.”
Gongsun Wan'er nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes. When my daughter is born, let her brother the Crown Prince and her brother the Prince take her out to play, and they must protect her and pamper her."
"How do you know it's a daughter? Zi Ling and I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl until the baby is born."
"It must be a girl. I like girls. When she grows up, she will be as happy and carefree as me every day."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"As lively as you, jumping around every day?"
"Do you not like it?"
"I like it. Girls should be lively, cute and happy every day."
Shen Changgong also pulled Gongsun Wan'er over, let her sit next to him, and gently stroked his belly with a smile.
"Who would have thought that after not being able to have children for the first two years, I got pregnant so quickly this year, three at once. I, Shen Changgong, will be blessed with many children in the future."
Yan Fuyao laughed and said,
"Isn't that all thanks to Xiao Qiao? I tell you, when you have time, you must go back to Mount Tai and thank Xiao Qiao."
Shen Changgong nodded and smiled.
"Of course I have to go, just consider it as fulfilling a vow.
After we defeat the Qian Kingdom and return to the capital, we will pass by Linzi and go to Mount Tai.
At that time, you will be the eternal emperor who has unified the world. You should fulfill your vow to the gods and be enthroned again.
I am also going to Liujiazhuang to look for Liu Laosan."
"Liujiazhuang? Liu Laosan? Who is that?"
"It's the guy on Mount Tai Road who said I would have no children. I'm going to take my children and go to his house to find him. I'm going to show him that I, Shen Changgong, have many children and grandchildren."
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao chuckled, rolled his eyes at him, and said,
"Why are you acting like a child? You are a prince, but you are angry with a commoner."
"Tsk, if it were any other prince or noble, they would have killed him long ago. It's just that I have a good temper and let the palace enter the goods from their village. What's wrong with me showing off to him?
I said, I have to go."
"Okay, okay, whatever you want. It's on our way anyway. Take Wan'er out quickly and ask the imperial physician to make her some medicine to preserve her pregnancy. She should drink it regularly."
"Ah? I don't want to take the medicine. It's too bitter."
Gongsun Wan'er said with a bitter face.
"You have to drink even if you don't want to. This is an imperial decree."
"Oh."
Gongsun Wan'er was in a bad mood. She stood up and jumped out again.
"Stop jumping around, there's a baby in your belly."
"understood."
In the afternoon, Fairy Meiyan, Tang Xinyi, and Jiang Ruoxue all learned that Gongsun Wan'er was also pregnant. They came to visit and looked at Shen Changgong with resentful eyes.
The look in his eyes was so intense that it could make water drip out of it.
Shen Changgong sighed, covered his lower back, and thought about how to find a reason to escape.
In the evening, he went to have a drink with Southern King Ma Ling.
The King of the South is happy every day. He drinks and listens to music every day, and he has become a little fat.
Shen Changgong drank with King Nan and pretended to be drunk, but he still couldn't escape the disaster and was carried back by the female hero Mei Yan with one hand.
Because of this incident, he was bullied by the King of the South for a long time.
……
The next day, Shen Changgong issued an order to the navy to prepare for war and to attack.
Many large ships had cannon firing ports on both sides, and cannons were mounted inside the cabins. Tens of thousands of naval soldiers continuously transported shells into the ships. The sailors checked the sails, and the astronomers calculated the weather. It was just the beginning of autumn, and they calculated that there would be a north wind in two days.
Therefore, the day of attack was chosen to be two days later.
The navy commander Pang Lei has been living and eating on the ship these days, and has been checking things nervously.
This was the first battle of the Dayan Navy, and it was also the decisive battle at the beginning. The enemy navy must be completely wiped out.
Most of these naval soldiers were from Chu and were good at swimming. The enemy was also from Chu, but their navy was a professional one, while the Dayan navy had only been training for one or two months.
But even so, the morale of the Dayan navy was high and they were ready to teach the enemy a lesson.
Two days later, Shen Changgong, Yan Fuyao, King Nan and other infantry commanders came to the observation deck on the shore to watch the first battle of the Dayan Navy.
In the morning, Pang Lei gave the order for the entire army to set sail and attack the enemy.
As soon as the Yan army moved, the Chu navy, which had been monitoring the Yan army, immediately received the news.
Commander Zhou Yun immediately came to the flagship and looked into the distance. Seeing the Yan army's warships coming towards them, he immediately gave the order:
“First Fleet, line up in the middle to meet the enemy and charge forward.
The second fleet sailed upstream and took the initiative to attack the enemy.
The Third Fleet went downstream, dropped anchor and held its ground to block the enemy.
All fleets, surround them with fire, catapults and rockets ready!"
Zhou Yun had personally witnessed the power of Dayan's artillery. He thought about it for a long time and finally determined that the only way to counter Dayan's navy was to attack with fire.
The Yan State's artillery was powerful, but it would explode if it encountered fire, and the ships were all wooden. The main purpose was to ignite the ships and ignite the shells in the cabin. The power of the explosion would be extremely large, and one ship could overturn many surrounding ships.
Therefore, he also wrote to the court to collect a lot of kerosene from all over the country, and also installed a catapult on the ship to specifically throw kerosene jars.
The Yan army's large and small ships were arranged in a military formation, with the large ships staggered relative to each other to ensure that the artillery could strike enemies from all directions.
The Yan army headed south, and the Chu army headed north. The river, which was only a few miles wide, soon reached the attack range of the Yan army's artillery.
The large ship in the center of the Yan army began to turn the rudder, facing east instead of south, and slowly turned. The cannon muzzles on the side were all aimed at the south and began to fire.
Boom boom boom! !
One shell after another was fired from the launch port and hit the enemy's large ship heavily.
Many shells also landed on small boats and in the water.
The shells exploded with a bang, and the small boats were blown to pieces with one shot. Even those that were not hit would be overturned by the waves.
As for those large ships that were hit, their bows were blown open, revealing the skeleton inside, and then water began to take in.
On the Yan army side, only the central army turned the rudder, while the left and right armies did not turn the rudder because the enemy fleet circled around and encircled them.
They can attack directly from the side.
