"First use a bed crossbow and conduct more explosive pack delay training. We must ensure that every crossbowman knows how to cut the fuse." Renault finally decided to use a bed crossbow.

The reason is that the manufacturing speed of the bed crossbow is now faster than the cannon, with at least five times lighter, and there are fewer personnel than the cannon. Only five people can control a bed crossbow. In the early stage, at least eight people must serve.

This is still on the warship. If it is a land battle, a thousand-pound cannon will transport up to 30 or 50 people, and a large number of pack horses will be added.

The bed crossbow can not only be used on naval warships, but as long as the wheel is installed, a horse can be dragged and run, and a supply cart can be easily handled by ten people.

"Sir, the Ao people have landed. The location is Chunjiang Mansion, the same as you predicted." Cui Qing quickly got into the RV and took the latest battle report.

This is not the official newspaper of Da Chu. The speed of the thing is too slow and the transmission range does not include the Nanzhang area. I specially prepared a copy for Shengong City and could only pick it up by myself. Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to deliver it to here.

The battle report was brought back by the airship troops. As the number of airships increased, every half month, an airship troops would travel between Luocheng and Shengong City. In addition to transporting some daily necessities, the most important thing is to convey information. After all, in the Nanzhang area, the information is too closed.

After taking the battle report, Renault looked carefully from the beginning. Because it was a war report from the military headquarters, the content was very detailed, including the general's statements, analysis, summary, and the statements of the parties involved in the battle.

The first battle was started by the Charge, so naturally, there was her statement in the battle report. Renault had no doubt about the outcome of the battle, and had guessed it long ago, but he didn't expect that the northern naval army of Great Chu would be so bad.

Spend.

Of course, there are naturally some things that caught his attention, such as the Ao people's warships with artillery, and there are a lot of them.

As for that battle, the only highlight was the result of the Charge, one sank and two injuries, one sank against three, and one sank against them and defeated them in battle.

But in the war report, the results of Shangguan summary and military command were completely opposite. At this time, Lan Bing was already in prison, and the charges were very clear, and he lied about military information. Although he had made merits, he had even greater demerits.

Lan Bing's problem can only be put aside now, and the person is locked up, but he is not completely convicted. After all, he rushed forward to the large fleet of the Austrians with the Charge and took the initiative to fight, and the results of the battle made the entire northern naval army look dull.

I won, but I was guilty. Where can I make sense?

But this is the case. After receiving the battle report, the Northern Navy dispatched half of the warships, but was sunk more than 100 ships and injured more than 200 ships. It can be said that in this battle, the Northern Navy was basically crippled and lost more than half.

The reason for all this is attributed to Lan Bing's lies on military affairs. You can fight against three with one broken warship. Although you are seriously injured, you won after all.

The generals of the Northern Navy made military comparisons according to this battle report and believed that with the same number of warships, they should be able to easily defeat the level of the Austrians. This logic is fine.

"Interesting, Lan Bing, the daughter of Lan Guangzu, is fourteen years old, and is temporarily in charge of the captain of the Charge. He is fourteen years old, only fourteen years old..." Renault was quite speechless after reading the battle report. The people of Da Chu were really precocious. They were still junior high school students at the age of fourteen. They dare to lead nearly two hundred men to charge against a fleet of hundreds of thousands of Austrians.

"Immediately send an additional airship unit, go to the Luocheng Military Headquarters first, take the people out, and fly to Chunjiang Mansion. The Charge is on the Charge. As long as the people who are not dead, the disabled are also needed, and their families are all here." Renault fell in love with her at a glance. Lan Bing is a good person, and the sailors on the Charge are also first-class.

It took him several months to build a ship. According to the current progress, at most half a year, the ironclad ship will be launched. If the ship has it, it will not be a problem, but there is no one in him. Not to mention the navy, no one can even fiddle with the civilian ships.

Leaning on the beach, they dared to go out to sea to fish under the command of Renault, and let them go out by themselves. Even along the coastline, they dared to sail to the boat and look at them secretly...

"Yes." Even Cui Qing doesn't have to come forward with such a small matter. Just show the sign of Shengong City and any small manager can handle it.

In fact, Lan Bing is not guilty, and there is no problem with what others do. First, send a Clipper to deliver a letter, then fight against the Austrian warship, and fight against the Austrian fleet with a warship. How courage does it take?

In fact, even if he reports the letter and turns around and runs, no one can say anything. But you have wiped out the northern navy's skin without dealing with it. Who will you deal with if you don't?

Chu Ren is a good emperor. Chu Xingyun handed over the great Chu country to him at the death. In Renault's opinion, he chose the right one.

After receiving the military newspaper that the Austrian fleet landed, Chu Ren issued an order to send nearby troops to harass the Austrian army as soon as possible, without asking for killing the enemy, at least not allowing the Austrians to build a camp comfortably.

At the same time, with the landing location as the center, regardless of the military and civilians, all the troops and civilians moved, within a thousand miles, the walls were cleared, and a grain of food was not allowed to be left to the Ao people. All the houses were burned, and the wells were filled and the roads were broken...

Especially livestock, even donkeys cannot be left to the Ao people.

Chu Ren didn't know much about military affairs, but he was extremely smart. After guidance from several generals, he had already gained his own insights on military affairs.

After starting the battle report, he found out the weaknesses of the Austrians. Aoi is tens of thousands of miles away, and no matter how many transport ships there are, they cannot transport many people. In fact, this Austrian's tax pioneer not only has more than 150,000 people, but also has the most excellent equipment. There are shortage of supplies in the rear, but their food and supplies are not reduced at all.

The only thing that cannot be solved is war horses. Not to mention war horses, there is not even a pack horse. Not only does the vanguard troops, but there is not a Romon Island. Although the area of ​​the Romon Islands is not small, there is no horse.

In fact, even if there are horses on the Romon Islands, they can only be transported in small quantities. After all, horses are not suitable for navigation, and require much larger space than people, and more feed is needed.

This vanguard unit is all infantry, and even the large trucks for transporting and supply can only be driven by manpower.

Except for the three days before landing, more than 2,000 people from Chu were arrested nearby, the days ahead, let alone the people of Chu, even the Great Chu army could not see it.

The scouts sent out are also lacking, so they can't get faster and can't even make a hundred miles a day. The scouts are not faster than anyone else, you have to stop and reconnaise.

On the tenth day of the landing of the Austrian army, the farthest scout was already five hundred miles away, and the battle report sent back was quite a headache.

The thing that the Ao people were most worried about was still happening. The Chu people used the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, leaving no grain of rice, and not seeing a single person.

These two thousand people in Chu were not killed, but there were only less than four hundred of them. The rest could only waste food, which was a worry!
