Chapter 725: Comparison of Horrific Casualties
Captain Cornell glanced at Captain Lena, the meaning was very obvious, you see that the accountability is coming.
Lena glared at Cornell, and on her somewhat wild and sexy face, she squeezed out a soft smile and said, "Captain Gordon, can you reveal why Your Majesty summoned us?"
Gordon, the king's messenger, had a standard poker face and replied coldly, "No." ”
"Captain Gordon is well-known for his loyalty to His Majesty, Captain Lina should not embarrass him anymore, we are all serving His Majesty, and we are not selfish. Captain Cornell sang and said in harmony on the side, "Your Majesty just wants to ask, we just lost the war, and it is an indisputable fact that we let go of the enemy, no matter how angry Your Majesty is and how to hold him accountable, it is understandable, and we will bear it with all our might." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm embarrassing Captain Gordon. The smile on Captain Lina's face became softer, "There is no way to answer this question, so how is Your Majesty feeling now?"
"What do you say?" asked Gordon with a blank face.
"Ahem......" Captain Lina's eyes flashed with anger, and he cursed in his heart.
If I knew, would I have to ask you?
The guy who fights with people doesn't look at what he is, but he is just a courtier, and he really thinks of himself as a thing.
Those dirty things in your private, don't think that others don't know, annoy the old lady, and bring them all out for you, so that you don't know how to die.
"Your Majesty has just smashed his most beloved glass. After a few seconds, Gordon said coldly.
"Thank you, Captain, for going back and inviting you for a drink. Captain Lena replied with a smile.
Gordon's sentence has already answered Lina's question in disguise, how angry should King Stubbin be when he broke his favorite thing that he usually never left in his hand.
The situation is the worst they think.
Gordon snorted, and replied to Captain Lena, he knew that drinking was just a reference, and there would definitely be a greater reward at that time, so he turned around and walked towards the warship that came, "Please don't let Your Majesty wait too long, I'll wait for you on the side of the warship." ”
"Find a Spearhead of the Eternal Night. Lena said to the guards beside her.
"What do you want to do?" said Cornell, confused.
Snort!
Captain Lena replied while tearing out a large section of the leather armor on her body: "Your Majesty is a wise person most of the time, but when anger dominates his emotions, he is prone to do radical things that he regrets, and we must find a way to cool down His Majesty's hot head before he will listen to our explanation." ”
"Captain Fleet, you want a knife. A guard came up with a saber of the eternal night.
Looking at the Eternal Night Sabre, Captain Cornell suddenly realized, "You mean, faking the injury, isn't this a deception to Your Majesty?"
"Deceive Your Majesty? No, let's help Your Majesty have a clearer understanding of the power of the Eternal Night Army's leading formation, so that Your Majesty can make correct judgments and layouts in the next battle. As Captain Lena spoke, he was already slashing at his non-critical position, and he slashed several times, especially on his chest, and cut a large section of it, revealing a full outline, which was very eye-catching with his current miserable appearance.
"But......" Captain Cornell always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
"Shall I come, or will you do it yourself?" Lena stared at Cornell coldly, as if you were already on a thief ship, and you had to do it if you didn't do it.
"I'll do it myself. "Captain Cornell wisely took the Saber of the Night.
If Lena is allowed to come, who knows if the other party will give him a knife in order to make their experience look more miserable.
Although Cornell had never done this kind of thing before, he really had no teacher to do it, and he quickly handled his appearance very miserably, looking like he was fighting bravely to kill the enemy and survive.
When they appeared in front of Captain Gordon in this new look.
Captain Gordon didn't show any surprise, but glanced at the two of them with a meaningful gaze before waving his hand to return the ship to the flagship Izumo.
"Lina and Cornell, two fools, have failed to live up to the trust that this king has placed in them, and they have failed to live up to the trust that the East Sea Kingdom has placed in them.
Look at what they did? With 20,000 of the most elite soldiers, they collapsed without a fight, and let the enemy go.
The king's infantry of the Third Fleet died in vain? Even if they were worthless pigs, they didn't use it like this.
Bastard, this king is going to chop them up with his own hands, he must chop them up with his own hands. ”
Stubin roared in anger, and even from half a nautical mile, it was clearly audible.
In his opinion, the whole beach rush operation is absurd and incredible.
The infantry of the two corps of the Third Fleet never managed to gain a foothold on the beach.
This can also be explained by the fact that the Eternal Night Commander is well prepared, and the two legions of the Third Fleet are just a rabble of improvised patchwork.
The collapse of the infantry of the two fleets, led by Captain Lena and Captain Cornell, is incomprehensible.
They landed smoothly and smoothly, completed the encirclement, and occupied an absolute superiority in troops.
The miserable appearance of the two captains frightened Stubin a lot, the strength of the two generals, he knew very well, the previous battle was so fierce?
The Izumo, where he was sitting, was a little far away from the battlefield, and he could only see the general situation, and it was unknown what exactly happened on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the brothers don't do their best to fight, but the enemy is too strong, I once joined forces with Captain Cornell to lead the attacking team to charge, but the opponent's military formation is more terrifying than we imagined, they have trained the joint operation of soldiers to an unbelievable level, and many people work together to use tower shields to restrain the soldiers who fall into it, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if the champion knight and the grand knight fall in, they will be hacked to death by their knives.
I could only watch as the Calorie Boatswain and Earlboatswain died in front of me.
We rushed out of their army in desperate desperation, not in fear of life and death, but to bring back news to Your Majesty and warn Your Majesty.
The Eternal Night Leaders are even more difficult than we expected, not only are they well-trained military formations, but they also have a very high level of research on magic, and the equipment on their bodies is suspected to be the magic armor of the Witches' Secret Society, giving ordinary soldiers the ability to cast spells. ”
Seeing that his bitter plan was effective, Captain Lena didn't give Stubin a chance to be angry at all, and directly threw out the most shocking news.
Sure enough, when he heard the name Shujia, Stubbin's face was obviously condensed, and he said coldly: "Shujia, are you sure?"
"I'm not 100% sure. Captain Lina saw that Stubbin's face changed again, and hurriedly added, "But it is an indisputable fact that the Soldiers of the Eternal Night have the ability to cast spells, and I really can't think of another possibility except for the magic armor of the Witch Society." ”
"Could it be that the Eternal Night Commander has secretly formed an alliance with the Witch Secret Society? The Witch Secret Society has shared its top-secret technology with the Eternal Night Commander? When did the Witch Secret become so generous?
He knows more about the old rival than the Eternal Night Leader, including their latest technology.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years, intertwined, you have me, I have you, spies and spies are dense, and it is too difficult and difficult to keep a secret.
"The black powder of the Eternal Night Army also has its own uniqueness, and the two sides have exchanged techniques back then, and there are quite a lot of Eternal Night soldiers who can perform spells, which shows that the popularity of magic armor among them is quite high, which is by no means something that can be done overnight, so we must be more cautious next, who knows if those women in the witch's secret meeting have shared the manufacturing method of the ironclad warship. The more Captain Lena spoke, the more convinced she was of the correctness of her assumptions.
Because only in this way can it be explained clearly why the Eternal Night Soldier used magic at a critical moment.
This is far more acceptable than every soldier of the eternal night being a warlock.
"This group of ghostly guys, even if we go to the East China Sea, we can't get rid of them completely. Stubin cursed viciously, and then glared at Captain Lina angrily, "Even if the soldiers of the Eternal Night are all wearing magic armor, it is not a reason for you to let go of the gap and let them evacuate calmly, do you have anything else to say?"
"When the battle damage statistics on both sides come out, Your Majesty will know why we ordered the breach to be opened and allowed them to retreat. Captain Lena said with a sad face, "The proportion of battle losses is too large, and the entire battlefield is full of the corpses of our soldiers, but there are very few on the other side, is it worth keeping them at the cost of the collapse of the infantry of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet?"
At least I don't think it's worth it, because the war has just begun, and the rest of the deployments are not yet fully in place.
And large-scale legion warfare has never been what we are best at, water warfare, sneak attack and sabotage, is what we are best at.
We only need to break through their water defense line and defeat their water power, Jiangmen Port is a lonely son hanging outside, even if they have a strong infantry combat ability, they will be trapped by us alive.
There are better options, why fight to the death when the situation is unfavorable?
Preserving the living force is the most important thing we need to do at the moment, anyway, our main purpose is to land, which is not already successful.
Keeping the military strong enough is the most important thing, and as long as this is ensured, the Eternal Night Leader will have some scruples about whatever he does. ”
Captain Lena had apparently figured out a reason to deal with Stubin and opened his mouth to come.
"Your approach, from a strategic point of view, is really fine, but I don't like the way you fool me. Stubbin's cold gaze fell on Captain Lina's wound, "Please make it more realistic next time you disguise the wound, the enemy stabbed is different from your own stroke." ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and nothing can be hidden from you. Lena looked happy and convinced, "We never wanted to fool Your Majesty, we just wanted His Majesty to calm down and give us a chance to explain, and we are willing to accept all punishments." ”
"Death crimes are avoidable, living crimes are not avoidable, and each of you shall receive a hundred lashes for yourselves, and since the great war is imminent, write it down for the time being, and when it is triumphant, you will be punished together. Stubin said coldly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, we will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy and make up for our mistakes. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Kane. ”
Lena and Cornell hurriedly thanked her.
They knew about it and had it done for the time being.
If the next battle goes well and Jiangmen Port is successfully captured, this whipping may be spared after the punishment.
If the war is unfavorable, then no one will have good fruit to eat, and this flogging will naturally not matter.
Soon the casualties of this beach blockade were counted.
More than 6,500 soldiers were killed, more than 1,800 were missing, and more than 5,000 were wounded.
As for the exact casualty figures of the Eternal Night Leader, Stubin didn't get his hands on it.
The Eternal Night Army retreated too calmly, and the battlefield was completely cleaned, not only did the wounded take all the wounded, but even the dead soldiers did not leave a few of them.
It can only be estimated according to the situation shown by the other party, and the overall casualties will definitely not exceed thousands, otherwise the battlefield will not be so clean.
As Captain Lena said, this comparison of battle losses is really terrifying.
Just looking at the numbers, Stubin felt terrified, not to mention the soldiers who were charging in front, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Captain Lena had made a smart decision to stop the loss in time.
I couldn't help but worry that the part of the East China Sea soldiers who scattered to the Danube Plain to plunder, the infantry led by the Eternal Night Army was so ferocious, they wouldn't suffer a big loss.
But there is no turning back from the bow, and with so many troops, they can't just give up halfway because of a fierce resistance from the other side, right?
If that's the case, they'll be honestly nesting at home in the future, waiting for the Eternal Night Army leader to come to the door!
The only thing Stubbin could do was to send his envoys to catch up with the scattered marauding army and warn them that the Eternal Night led the ferocity of the infantry and not to engage them head-on unless absolutely necessary.
I believe that those experienced old boatswain, should understand what they mean.
In view of the caution of Captain Lina, who preserved the infantry in the East China Sea to the greatest extent, Stubin took the opportunity to appoint her as the commander-in-chief of the infantry this time, and was fully responsible for all matters concerning the siege of Jiangmen Port by the infantry.
Captain Lina, who was deeply aware of the ferocious combat effectiveness of the infantry led by the Eternal Night Army, was very cautious in the next use of troops, and the infantry of the 50,000-man fleet who had landed and repaired was always in a group, slowly advancing towards Jiangmen Port.
and the speed of the advance of the East China Sea Fleet on the Danube, go hand in hand.
The East China Sea Fleet has indeed explored a set of demining methods.
This kind of demining method is really not complicated to say, but it is more cumbersome.
First, he sent water ghosts into the river to find a safe path, and then sent two small warships in parallel to drag fishing nets to violently clear mines.
It's a little slower, but it's very effective.
The mines laid in the Danube River, no matter how dense they are, are limited, and if they are pushed slowly, there will always be a moment when they will be discharged.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Eternal Night Commander to sit idly by and watch them clear mines so easily, the Explorer Navy would come out from time to time to harass them, and the Longbow Corps would also come out from time to time, giving them a few waves of rocket rain on the shore.
The results were mediocre.
The three dreadnought-class galleons of the East China Sea Fleet followed closely behind the demining team, and once the explorer navy led by the Eternal Night Army attacked, they didn't talk nonsense at all, and all kinds of black powder scatter bombs and black powder keg bombs were smashed down.
