False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

In addition to the merchant ship and the three hundred sailors who were left behind by Xue Biao, they all stood in front of Lin Chen anxiously.

They didn't expect that Xue Biao would recruit them into the capital and ask them to surrender to the army!

Many sailors have already begun to regret it.

Lin Chen was also sizing up these sailors.

All of them have strong bodies and tanned skin from working for a living at sea.

"Zhang Heng."

"The humble position is here!"

Lin Chen pointed at these sailors, "These will be your subordinates in the future."

Zhang Heng nodded quickly, with a look of surprise on his face.

But it also made Zhang Heng look bitter.

He thought that the navy ships Lin Chen mentioned earlier were these three merchant ships.

As Zhang Heng, who grew up in the river, he knew very well that this was unreliable.

Although the merchant ship is big, it is just like a thin-skinned dumpling.

In ancient times, naval vessels were generally divided into stern ships, building ships, etc.

Among them, the building boat, as its name suggests, is a giant ship sailing in the water.

This one is about three stories high, and hundreds of archers can stand on it to shoot arrows from a high position.

At the same time, the ship is equipped with an attack angle for ramming enemy ships.

If this merchant ship encounters a regular naval vessel, it will be a slow and indefensible target!

As long as the stern collides with it, the merchant ship will sink into the river.

Just when Zhang Heng complained about Lin Chen's unreliability, he never noticed the thoughtful look in his general's eyes.

Lin Chen was thinking about it.

How to take out the sail battleship from the system backpack without shocking Zhang Heng and others.

So Lin Chen chose to let Zhang Heng's famous merchant ship continue to move along the canal.

"Zhang Heng, did you know that there is a Caoqu Pier five miles ahead?"

Lin Chen said calmly, "I will be waiting for you there."

"yes!"

Zhang Heng could only bite the bullet and agree.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh as he watched Lin Chen lead the remaining two hundred Shenji camp musketeers away.

"Brother, it's normal for General Lin not to know how to fight on water."

Zhang Shun comforted his eldest brother at this time.

"The so-called navy of the White Lotus Sect is just a group of fishing boats."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shun's eyes sparkled.

In his opinion.

Even without a boat, he could still take the sailors to scuttle the White Lotus Navy ships.

"Come on, we'll figure it out later."

Zhang Heng nodded when he heard this.

If our Navy is dead, how much better can the White Lotus Sect be?

The two brothers are very confident in their abilities.

Even if there are no navy warships, I am confident that I can kill the White Lotus Sect's navy.

As for these sailors who were inexplicably incorporated into the navy, none of them were very interested.

If Lin Chen hadn't said before that their monthly military pay was very high, these sailors might just give up and leave.

"Straight bitch, hurry up!"

When Zhang Heng saw this, he immediately shouted angrily.

Hearing this, the movements of these sailors suddenly became numb.

However!

When Zhang Heng and his party arrived at Caoqu Pier, what they saw made their eyes widen.

"What...what is this?!"

"I've seen it before. I've seen Hongmao Fanzi's boat look like this."

A sailor who had gone to sea vowed, "But Hongmao Fanzi's ship is not as big as this!"

Just when Zhang Heng and others were shocked.

Lin Chen's figure appeared on the bow of the sailing battleship.

Zhang Heng and others were overjoyed when they saw this.

I bet this is the navy warship prepared by my general!

"Brother, little brother, go up and take a look!"

Zhang Shun was very happy. He plunged into the water with a sudden movement and came to the side of the sailing battleship like a swimming fish. Then he used his hands and feet to climb directly onto the side of the seven-meter-high ship.

After Zhang Shun came aboard, his first impression of this ship was that it was big, too big!

It is not inferior to the building boat!

It's just that the shape of the pointed head and narrow body does not seem to be as stable as the building boat.

Zhang Shun felt that this boat was not suitable for traveling on inland rivers, but it would be fine on the sea.

If Lin Chen knew what Zhang Shun was thinking, he would have to praise him for growing up in the river.

indeed.

If the size of a sailing battleship is placed on an inland river, the sails will be almost useless.

Only in the sea is there enough wind to propel its movement.

Fortunately, this kind of sailboat also has oars under the cabin, which is enough to provide kinetic energy when there is no wind.

same.

The huge size of the sailing battleship means that the canal can accommodate it, but steering is also troublesome.

but!

None of this matters to this sailing battleship!

Because Lin Chen originally planned to use it as a fort!

Yes!

The most critical thing is that this sailing battleship is also equipped with a full 120 24-pound forward-loading artillery!

This front-loaded artillery with a range of four to five kilometers weighs 2,500 kilograms.

In the face of such firepower, the various shortcomings of the sail battleship are not a concern.

After Zhang Heng and others boarded the boat, they entered the Grand View Garden one by one like Grandma Liu, and they suddenly felt extremely novel.

But Zhang Heng soon discovered.

This big ship seems to be useless only for looking at!

Before Zhang Heng could go to Lin Chen to talk about this matter, he heard a thunderous roar.

"Mom, is it thundering?"

"Ball! It's this thing on the ship. The general calls it an artillery piece!"

Zhang Heng quickly came to the deck and looked at the artillery manned by soldiers from the Shenji Battalion.

"put!"

Hear another deafening roar.

A solid iron ball left the chamber at high speed, and then landed in a canal about several miles away, splashing a column of water.

Zhang Heng swallowed and looked at each other, both seeing the frightened look in the other's eyes.

What kind of weapon is this?

If it were his two brothers who were fighting each other, they wouldn't be able to get any benefits!

But this kind of weapon.

There are hundreds of doors on this ship!

The two brothers, who were quick-thinking, immediately understood something.

Is this artillery the attack method of this big ship? !

"Zhang Tuanlian, how are you?" Lin Chen asked Zhang Heng with a faint smile.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he hesitated to speak, and finally he could only hold back this sentence:

""Sir...Sir, this artillery is really a magic weapon! ""

"In this case, with this sailing warship, does Zhang Tuanlian have the confidence to deal with the navy of the White Lotus Cult thieves?"

Zhang Heng nodded desperately when he heard this.

Are you kidding? Isn't this easy to handle? !

Lin Chen laughed when he saw this.

"But before that, there is one more thing to do."

Lin Chen's eyes grew cold as he thought of the water village where the White Lotus Sect hid food that Zhao Min had told him before.

As long as he takes away this water stronghold, the White Lotus Sect in Xianping City will start to worry.

at the same time.

Above the imperial court in the capital.

"I impeach the rebellious general Lin Chenjia. During this period, I will not move forward in fear under Xianping City!"

A royal censor handed over the document in a righteous manner.

But as soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court looked at their noses, and their noses looked at their hearts.

After hearing this, Li Zhao waved his sleeves and asked him to go down as if he was tired.

joke.

No one in the court knew that there were hundreds of thousands of White Lotus Sect thieves gathered in Xianping City.

How many people are there in Lin Chenjia?

Less than fifty thousand!
