After returning to Homesick Island, Yang Rui ordered Zhang He, Feng Ji, Trace Dragon Soul, and Burning Snow to disperse. He also ordered the aerial reconnaissance units to continue scouting the surrounding area.
Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow seemed to have something to discuss with Yang Rui. However, the conversation between the two of them, Zhang He, and Feng Ji became more and more intense. In the end, the four of them left together.
Yang Rui was very clear about the intentions of Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow. Of course, he was also very clear about the difficulty of subduing famous historical figures. Therefore, Yang Rui still did not care about Trace Dragon Soul and Burning Snow's actions.
After the four of them left, Ji Ling returned from her patrol and coincidentally came to see Yang Rui. Under her probing questions, Yang Rui roughly explained the course of the battle to her.
After listening to the story, Ji Ling naturally understood the key to victory. However, she did not show any joy or worry. Her expression remained solemn, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Originally, Ji Ling only came to meet Yang Rui out of courtesy. The two of them did not spend much time talking. Ji Ling only symbolically expressed that she was ready to fight at any time. After that, she got up and left.
"My lord, the Japanese pirates' ships are fast, but we still have the 10% speed buff from Sea Pioneers. However, the Japanese pirates' underwater soldiers are indeed difficult to deal with …"
Everyone left one after another. Only then did Fang Lan and Yang Rui really talk about the key points of the previous battle.
After dealing with the sea for a long time, Fang Lan's sea battle experience and insight were much better than the others. Now that she was alone with Yang Rui, Fang Lan finally revealed her true knowledge.
It was worth mentioning that Fang Lan had been wearing a veil in front of the others. It seemed that she was only willing to let Yang Rui know her true face. Fang Lan only took off the veil now.
As Fang Lan said, in the presence of other forces, Yang Rui had not used the 10% speed buff from Sea Pioneers. If this 10% potential was used, the speed of the turreted ship would not be much slower than the most common medium-sized warships of the Japanese.
Under such circumstances, even if Yang Ruilou's ships were still unable to completely deal with the scattered guerrilla attacks of the Wo Nation tribes, they would not fall behind too much in the pursuit of the Wo Nation tribes and lose the opportunity to fight head-on.
It could be said that Yang Rui had not used all of his speed potential was deliberately showing weakness to the enemy.
"… I just don't know how destructive the underwater soldiers of the Japanese pirates are. The ships under General Zhang He's command that were sunk by the Japanese pirates were mainly small and medium-sized ships. I don't know if they can pose a threat to the warships. If they can, how long will it take to sink a warship?"
Fang Lan continued to speak. She had already pointed out the key to Yang Rui's consideration.
In fact, what Yang Rui had been measuring was whether the attack power of the Japanese pirates on the water could effectively break through the defense of the ship. It must be known that the quality of the wood used in the ship was very high. It used wood from grade nine to grade six. The defense of the bottom of the ship and the keel was especially high.
Under such circumstances, not to mention whether the Japanese pirates could effectively break through the defense, in fact, as long as they could not sink the turreted ship in a short period of time, they could often fight the Japanese pirates head-on and entangle them.
"In fact, it's not completely impossible to deal with the Japanese pirates' underwater soldiers. The sea raiders can also dive underwater for a short period of time. Although the Japanese pirates are very good at destroying ships, their combat power is probably not high. Therefore, as long as the general location of the pirates is determined, our sea raiders should be able to eliminate the enemy's threat!"
Seeing that Yang Rui was lost in thought, Fang Lan deliberately reminded him.
"Oh? That's good! Let's reorganize the marauders so that they are evenly distributed among the ships so that we can deal with any possible situation. "
Hearing Fang Lan's words, Yang Rui was immediately overjoyed. He immediately ordered Fang Lan's more than 10000 exclusive sea raiders to be evenly distributed to 45 turreted ships.
Because of the great responsibility, Yang Rui also came to the dock with great interest. He took two turreted ships to a distant sea area to avoid everyone's sight and let the sea raiders on the ships test their diving ability.
The actual situation was just as Fang Lan had said. It was not a problem for the raiders to dive into the water for three to five minutes. Such a long period of time was enough for them to ferret out the sea devils who had damaged the bottom of the ship.
As for the underwater combat ability mentioned by Fang Lan, because there was no real opponent at the moment, it could not be verified for the time being.
He believed that since Fang Lan was confident, even if she couldn't completely subdue the sea soldiers, the combat power of the sea raiders should be about the same as the sea devil soldiers.
After verifying the diving ability of the sea raiders, Yang Rui let the scaly water soldiers on the turreted ships test it out. After verification, the scaly water soldiers also had a certain diving ability, but the diving time was shorter. Perhaps in an emergency situation, they could temporarily deal with it.
After all, the scaly water soldiers belonged to the inland river type. Although Yang Rui had already seen their swimming ability and had the experience of diving for dropped items, but it was the first time in the turbulent sea.
In any case, after the diving ability of the two types of soldiers was verified, Yang Rui's worries were reduced by half. At least in the following naval battle, he should not be restricted.
"My lord, there is one more thing worth noting. Previously, General Zhang He's fleet was only halfway to Wang Huzi Island. When the fleet was still a third of the way to Wang Huzi Island, the Japanese pirates near the island had already responded.
According to this, the other party must have discovered the whereabouts of Zhang He's fleet earlier. This is enough to prove that the other party has a very effective way of detecting information. At least in the case where my lord did not use the Golden Hawk and Flame Falcon to investigate, our detection ability cannot compare to the other party. "
On the way back, Fang Lan continued to speak to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui vaguely felt that something was wrong before. After Fang Lan's reminder, Yang Rui felt that this was the case. If the information transmission and reaction time were taken into account, by the time the Japanese pirates received the relevant information, Zhang He's fleet might not even be halfway there!
This was a simple reasoning and calculation problem. Even if the speed of the other party's information transmission was comparable to Yang Rui's flying unit, the result of Yang Rui's calculation would not be too different.
