Jinyi Night Walk

Li Yifeng's fleet followed the instructions from the flagship, and carried out all kinds of maneuvers meticulously.

Reconnaissance, feedback, tentative contact, outflanking, volleying, charging...  

The magnificent lake water was plowed by warships one after another, and the waves were rolling. Sensing the violent fluctuations on the water surface, fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs and various aquatic creatures escaped far away.

On the main ship, apart from Li Yifeng and Xia Xun, all the main figures of the Yu family came, all neatly dressed, standing on the battleship to observe.

Even Princess Jinhua and the little princess Ming'er boarded the battleship, but the little princess seemed unwell, so she forced herself to watch halfway, and then went into the cabin with a flushed face to rest.Her wine power is too weak, she can be drunk for half a day with a glass of wine, not to mention the old wine made by the Yu family.

Yu Zhenglong stood firmly on the battleship, with a disdainful smile on his face, pointing and snickering with his brothers from time to time.Regarding the many changes made by Li Yifeng, he felt that they were just grandstanding and good-looking, not of much use.He didn't read much, commanding warships relied on his elders' oral instruction, and the ability to command battles was honed by the elders bit by bit, and Li Yifeng had read a lot of military books in his spare time, and always liked to ponder some new ways.

In fact, Yu Zhenglong was also somewhat curious about this, so he tried to fight against this elder sister. It was a kind of exercise that was close to actual combat. As a result of the two exercises, he won a big victory.With the actual results in place, he naturally no longer paid attention to Li Yi's flamboyant command tactics.

His sarcasm and jokes and showing off of his two great victories, along with the wind, faintly drifted into the ears of Xia Xun and Li Yifeng who stood side by side. , but he couldn't attack again, Bing Hao pretended not to hear.

He and Yu Zhenglong's two trial drills were indeed a complete failure.There is no person in this world who is born a genius. His first combat exercise was the first after he made drastic reforms to his fleet. The running-in between the ships is not enough to serve as the soul of the entire fleet. There are indeed many immature aspects of reform and innovation. That time it was a real failure, and the loss was not wronged.

After this battle, based on the results of actual combat, he corrected many of his own flaws in tactical design, and strengthened his drills, so that the naval officers and soldiers under him who were only familiar with traditional combat methods gradually became familiar with his tactics. In the second exercise, he failed again.Although this time it was not as immediate as the last time, they confronted each other equally for a long time before finally being defeated in a head-on confrontation.

In fact, this failure was not due to Li Yifeng's inappropriate tactics.There are three reasons why he failed. First: His reform of the fleet was supposed to go out of Chaohu Lake, deal with various water potentials and conditions, and deal with the tactics created by various enemies. This is Chaohu Lake, and the place where they fight is always Chaohu Lake. , For the water conditions here, each of them knows everything well. His superiority in reconnaissance and detection over the other side is useless.

Second, know yourself and your enemy.Because he was a family, they practiced in Chaohu all day long on the number, function, equipment and personnel of the ships of both sides. They were all clear to each other. Many of his tactical actions could not be hidden from the opponent, and naturally they became flashy in the eyes of the opponent.

The third and most important point is that a fixed area is delineated when performing martial arts.The water area is narrow and the combat space is limited, and many of the outflanking techniques he designed are useless.And his reform was based on giving up part of the force, and strengthened the maneuverability and specialized functions of each ship. At this time, he was forced to carry out a frontal collision, and his advantages could not be manifested at all.

Advanced tactics are not superior to traditional tactics in any environment or under any conditions.If this kind of competition is compared for 1000 years, he will definitely lose.In this regard, Li Yifeng, who has always been stubborn, believes that it is not that his tactics are not feasible, but that his design is not perfect enough, so he has since corrected the defects exposed in the battle, and constantly improved his tactics.However, there has been no actual combat exercise since then, so he can't test his results.

In actual combat, no matter how careful you are, there will always be losses.The world is peaceful, without the pressure of external threats, the elders of the Yu family do not approve of this kind of drill. Li Yifeng is the son-in-law of the Yu family. And Yu Zhenglong, who is qualified and able to propose another battle, has completely lost interest in his fleet and is too lazy to fight him again.

Therefore, Li Yifeng had no choice but to carry the title of the often-defeated general, and the entire fleet has never been able to hold its head high in front of the other two fleets of the family. The reason for the opportunity to fight is that they have reached the time when they must prove their abilities, and must use their military exploits and strength to win the respect of the family.

With only one born long house body, their right to speak in the family will become smaller and smaller. If things go on like this, I am afraid that the only privilege is the honor of being the head of the long house when offering sacrifices to their ancestors.Ming'er knew these troubles of Yu's parents' house through her previous contact with Princess Jinhua in the palace, as well as some discussions she had heard from her brothers by chance.

It's just that her brothers knew only a little, and they didn't discuss it in detail, so Ming'er's judgment in advance was that Yu's family was the most attractive force.But he didn't expect that in the past few years, the situation of Yu's parents' house has become even worse, and it has come to the time when he must take the initiative to prove himself.

Of course, this kind of embarrassment does not mean that the second and third members of the Yu family used tricks, stumbling blocks, and conspiracy to suppress the head of the house in order to steal the position of the head of the family.A big family that has been passed down for many generations, of course there will be some dandies and some scum, but more people have a sense of family responsibility. It is the strength of the entire family, which makes the internal divisions, which is not advisable.They rely on undisputed strength. If you cannot fulfill your obligations to the family, you will naturally have no confidence.

Xia Xun took it very seriously. In his original plan, he was going to choose the fleet of Yu's parents.The pressure of internal competition will exert all their motivation for their own use. Even if they are not the best fleet of the Yu family, they must be the most suitable fleet for their command.So before he boarded the ship, he made up his mind that no matter what the results of the exercise were, he would not hesitate to praise and praise them.

A force that has been excluded and despised within the family, first has the opportunity to stand out, consolidate its due status with meritorious service, and then be appreciated and praised by the general in front of the whole family, he believes that he can get this army loyalty, obedience, trust and support.It is a means, a leadership technique.

But when he saw Li Yifeng's performance with his own eyes, Xia Xun was shocked.This general is not a naval general who is conservative and only knows about inheritance. His combat philosophy and command style are a bit more perfect in modern times.Yang Xu has never been in the navy, nor has he learned this knowledge, but he still has some knowledge in this area. He intuitively feels that he has found a treasure!

Originally, the reason why he chose the Yu family was because the Yu family's navy and the Xidong navy would never have the slightest connection. This time, he has enemies not only outside, but also inside. He really can't divide it into another part The energy comes to compete with the fleet under his command at all times.And the reason why Yu's family's family was chosen was not because Yu's family's navy was the strongest, but because they thought they were the weakest, and they needed military exploits to consolidate their position.

But it doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. Today, when Ming Dynasty gave up the sea for 30 years, there is no fleet more suitable to go out than the one in front of him.

As long as they are adapted to the handling of sea-going ships and are familiar with the wind and waves at sea, they are a qualified naval fleet.And these aspects are easy to overcome. They are like a group of senior engineers in the same field and under the same system. They are only in charge of a certain aspect, but the knowledge and foundation are there. It is very easy to switch to another department. Quick to get used to.

Following the last general order, the warships slowly sailed back to their original places and re-formed the formation of the fleet for battle. The lake in front gradually calmed down, and the turbulent waves were smoothed by the wind and turned into a sea again. With Zhan Jian's waves, everyone in the Yu family cast their eyes on Xia Xun, especially Princess Jinhua and Li Yifeng, with a hint of tension and anticipation in their eyes.

If the Fuguo Duke who came on behalf of the imperial court also expressed disappointment with their fleet, it would undoubtedly make things worse for them who were no longer recognized within the family.Especially Li Yifeng, for a long time, he has also shaken himself, and now he is very anxious. If he can't get the appreciation of Fu Guogong, if he wins this opportunity, not only Yu's family will lose a chance to rise, I am afraid that from now on. He will also be devastated.

Li Yifeng forced himself to suppress his nervousness, and asked Xia Xun: "Hehe, Duke Fu, look... Can this fleet of the last general still fall into the eyes of the Duke?"

Xia Xun took two steps forward slowly, leaning on the tall battleship and looking down at the entire fleet. Everyone's eyes fell on his back. After a while, Xia Xun slowly turned around and looked at the young and old members of the Yu family. With a serious expression, he said: "Your Highness, to be rude, before today, Yang had always thought that among the Yu's navy, the fleet commanded by General Li was certainly not the strongest, but it was barely enough. I live in the middle reaches, but I saw you today..."

Hearing what he said, Li Yifeng's face turned pale at that moment. Maybe Duke Fu's next words would make people feel ashamed to find a way to slip in, but Xia Xun then opened his arms and said very solemnly: " There is no doubt that General Li's fleet will be my Ming Dynasty's strongest fleet."

Ming'er Mimi was lying in the cabin in a daze, a little sick, wine was something she could never conquer.Originally, she was much better after a night's sleep, but as soon as she boarded the ship, the wind was blowing and the waves were blowing, and she felt uncomfortable again. Suddenly, she felt her little hand being held by someone, and a pleasantly surprised voice came from her ear: "Ming Minger, Minger, you are really my lucky general!"

"Ah?" Ming'er Mimi opened her eyes in a daze, she couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and it took a long time to focus, see Xia Xun's face clearly, and replied in a nasal voice: "What's wrong?"

Xia Xun held her hand tightly, and was already incoherently happy: "Ah! No, you are really my lucky star! No, you are really my lucky baby!" @.
