Chapter 879: Waiting for Reinforcements!
The sight of more than sixty large warships firing together is really terrifying!
The cannonballs that flew out can only be described as covering the sky and the sun. One by one, they exploded, the entire sky was covered in thick black smoke, and the entire sea was engulfed in boundless fire!
Screams were heard on Buck Island, and the screams were drowned out by the deafening sound of artillery.
Xu Ao and the warships of the poisoned queen were sunk one by one, a large amount of seawater poured in, and groups of soldiers scattered and fled. Some jumped on lifeboats, some jumped directly into the sea.
The smell of gunpowder and blood permeated the waters already near Buck Island. The scene in front of me was so miserable, like purgatory on earth.
More than ten minutes passed, and the side of the poison suffered heavy casualties, killing more than 300 soldiers in the explosion, and most of the rest were injured.
Eleven of the thirteen ships were sunk, and only two remained!
Xu Ao's heart is dripping blood, the family wealth he has accumulated for nearly twenty years, and the fleet that has spent countless efforts and money has been dried up in just ten minutes!
The only two remaining warships, carrying Xu Aogaman and a group of wounded soldiers, withdrew towards Buck Island. No more fighting, or they will all die. The opponent's firepower is too strong, and the naval battle can no longer continue, so they can only retreat to the island and defend it!
Looking at the scene in front of him, victory in sight, Yan Baixiong nodded with satisfaction, he should have attacked with all his strength a long time ago, and the other party couldn't resist it at all.
Rong Lu stood beside him, feeling uneasy in his heart, more than sixty warships, more than ten minutes of bombardment, it is estimated that the ammunition has been almost consumed.
Sure enough, the sound of the cannonballs thinned out, and it was not as violent as it had just been. There were even warships that went out directly.
Rong Lu's heart tightened, it seemed that the arms carried on the warship had been exhausted.
"Stop firing, all the ships stop firing!" Rong Lu shouted loudly and gave the order to stop the attack.
Soon, all the ships fell silent, and the scene of destruction disappeared, leaving only a scene of devastation.
Yan Baixiong came over again and asked Rong Lu: "What are you doing, most of their people are dead, and they have all retreated back to Buck Island." Now that victory is in sight, just concentrate all your firepower and open fire on Buck Island. It is estimated that it will not take three rounds, and all the people on the island will be killed!"
Rong Lu was very worried in his heart, how could he not know this problem, but how could he fire when he had no arms?
He wants to open fire more than anyone else! After extinguishing the poison, Jinshanjiao will be his world!
It's a pity that Mr. Ghost went and Pippen went, and there was still no news about the arms on Terugetsu Island.
Rong Lu naturally couldn't tell Yan Baixiong about this matter, if there was a problem with the arms, he would only have a dead end!
"Speak, Rong Lu, why don't you continue to attack? Blow them all up, didn't the young master provide you with fifty tons of munitions!" Yan Baixiong was very anxious and yelled at Rong Lu.
"Brother Yan-" Rong Lu smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, you haven't fought a naval battle and don't know the preciousness of arms." Just such an ordinary 155 mm high-explosive grenade, the price is about 3000~5000 US dollars, and we have a total of more than 60 guns on our warship, and a salvo of several million yuan is gone!"
"There are also those modern destroyers imitating DGG-1000, and the AUG shells they use are each priced at a million dollars!"
"One cannonball is a million dollars!" Yan Baixiong was suppressed. He is a martial arts master, he is only obsessed with martial arts, and he doesn't pay much attention to these things, so he naturally can't figure out the situation.
"Yes, Brother Yan-" Rong Lu smiled bitterly: "This special war is all about money, just now our more than 60 warships attacked with all their strength for more than ten minutes, all kinds of shells and weapons in a salvo, and at least 100 million US dollars were struck!"
$100 million!
Yan Baixiong was taken aback.
"So-" Rong Lu's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "The reason why I stopped attacking is to save money for Young Master Chen." According to what you said, if you raze Buck Island to the ground, it is estimated that all the arms on the ship will be smashed, which will be at least a billion dollars!"
Yan Baixiong squinted his eyes thoughtfully.
Afterwards, Rong Lu said: "Therefore, the best choice at present is to let the soldiers land on the island to fight, most of the people of the poisonous queen and the young master of the southern faction have died, and the rest are all wounded, and there is no longer any power to resist!
Yan Baixiong frowned and said, "If we land on the island to fight, won't our people also suffer casualties?"
"Casualties are casualties. Rong Lu smiled lightly and said, "What is the least valuable thing in Jinshanjiao, it is human life! One thousand dollars can buy a life! This cannonball is worth four or five human lives!"
"Therefore, landing on the island to fight is the most suitable choice!" Rong Lu stared at him and said.
Yan Baixiong watched the situation, they did suffer heavy losses after the poison, the situation was completely controlled by them, and the other party could not make any waves. No matter which way you play, the opponent will inevitably be destroyed!
Since this is the case, he waved his hand and said: "Anyway, these are all your soldiers, you don't feel sorry for me, naturally I have nothing to say, just land on the island to fight!"
Hearing this, Rong Lu breathed a sigh of relief, which grandson wanted to land on the island to fight? Anyway, the shells were provided by the Qianmen Northern Faction, and they had nothing to do with him. If the arms from Terutsuki Island were brought over, he would definitely have razed Buck Island to the ground with a volley of cannonballs!
It's a pity that he has no arms, so he can only use his soldiers to land on the island to fight!
Subsequently, Rong Lu immediately arranged for each of Deli's subordinates to lead the soldiers to land on the island!
……
Buck Island!
The island, which was originally beautiful, is now devastated, full of craters, ruins, and bloody corpses, and the scene is extremely miserable.
There were also wounded soldiers, either with their legs broken or their arms blown off, covered in blood, lying on the ground and wailing in pain.
"Madam—" Gaman, covered in blood, said with difficulty, unable to hide his sadness, "Our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and only about fifty are still intact. The rest are either dead or wounded. ”
"Madam, our warships have been sunk eleven times, and only two remain, which are also in tatters and cannot fight anymore!"
"Madame—"
……
Sad and desperate news came out of Gaman's mouth, and all the people hiding in the pit bowed their heads and remained silent, their faces unable to hide their sadness.
The poisoned queen smiled faintly and said: "Fortunately, we are still alive! Don't be discouraged, there is definitely something wrong with their arms, otherwise there will be no ceasefire! Next, they will definitely land on the island to fight, Gaman, you arrange for men to defend Buck Island." We occupy a good location, even if there are few people, we can deal with them!"
"As long as we hold on until the reinforcements arrive, we will win in the end!"
She was covered in the smoke of gunfire, her silver soft armor was covered with dust, her beautiful face was even more dirty, and her black hair was scattered, and she looked quite embarrassed.
However, her momentum is not half a point weaker!
Xu Ao raised his head and glanced deeply at the poisonous queen, appreciating it in his heart. In today's situation, it is really commendable that this woman can still have this confidence!
It's just—
The rest of them didn't think like this, and even Gaman had a wry smile on his face. Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements that Madame has been talking about? Where is the young master of the Qianmen Southern Sect?
It's all very hard to fight, the people and the ships are almost gone, and the reinforcements have not yet appeared—Gaman suspects that the poisoned queen is lying to everyone, and that the reinforcements are only there to boost everyone's morale, just like Wangmei quenches her thirst.
Taking a step back, even if there are really reinforcements, but now all of them are going to die, and the next moment Ronglu's soldiers come to charge, everyone can die! Even if the reinforcements come, they are all corpses, so what's the use?
"Ma'am, where the hell are the reinforcements, our men are dying!" said Nashin with a wry smile.
……
At this moment, on the surface of the sea twenty nautical miles away, the roar of warships was heard, and more than a dozen steel giant ships carrying fifty tons of munitions were speeding towards Buck Island!
The big banner of the word "Tang" fluttering in the wind was hunting under the tearing of the sea breeze!
"Buck Island, I'm coming!"
I stood on the deck and looked out at the sea ahead, muttering.
