Chapter 151(2/2)
Frankly speaking, the Dutch warships are really good. The five huge sails can turn the wind from all directions into sufficient power.
The warship cut through the waves, and its speed was more than twice as fast as Li Xiao's slow, cargo ship-modified warship. If coupled with forty bronze cannons, this would be an invincible warship of this era.
I don’t know how many cannons Mr. Yu will be able to build when he returns to Pi Island.
On the first day of September, Li Xiao returned to Pidao.
I still remember Gu Long’s very classic line, September is the day when eagles fly.
There's a damn eagle!
Several eagles were hovering over Pidao, which made Li Xiao very uneasy. Only the Jurchens liked to tame Haidongqing. Could it be that the Tatars wanted to take advantage of Pidao again?
"Haha! Who said that only Jurchens can train Haidongqing? Do you mean that we Mongolians can't fish and hunt?" Man Gui was very dissatisfied with Li Xiao's behavior of looking down on their Mongolians.
"Did you train them?" This actually made Li Xiao very excited. As a scout, Hai Dongqing is the best. They are in the sky and can see everything below.
Li Xiao's army needs this kind of advance reconnaissance and prediction. Time must be left for the infantry. The firing rate of front-loading guns is still too slow. It is far less convenient than breech-loading firearms!
The army still has to stand in dense formations to increase the hit rate and firepower density of firearms.
Only by tinkering with the steam engine can preliminary precision processing be achieved.
"Of course we train them. They are all cubs obtained from the Jurchens. We Mongolians naturally have the Mongolian method of training eagles. The Haidong youth training is no worse than the Jurchens." Man Guike
No matter what Li Xiao was thinking, he was patting his chest and bragging.
"Shouldn't you be training your cavalry on Changxing Island?"
"Lao Ao is gone. I can't do the training of troops. Besides, Mongolians are born to ride horses. The cavalry formation you mentioned is actually of no use. I can finally see that my cavalry can only be used when riding horses.
Only when the enemy army is defeated can a battle be fought.
You are both a cannon and a blunderbuss. Sooner or later, the cavalry will not be able to survive. I want to learn from the old fisherman here, otherwise I will only know how to ride and kill people, and I may not be able to win any wars in this life.
