Chapter 562: Report, I'm Not Feeling Well and Can't Fight!
Hua Duxiu still participated in the pre-war meeting of the Four Highnesses in the end.
In the wide and bright operational command room of the four princes, more than a dozen men with dark faces and strong bodies stood around.
When Hua Duxiu was finally carried in, everyone stared at him with strange eyes, and even the four princes sitting behind the table rolled their eyes and held their foreheads speechless.
Among these people, in addition to Ouyang Dingtian and other three personal guards of the Fourth Highness, Hua Duxiu knew a Li Fugui. Hua Duxiu was dark and thin, her eyes were dull, and she barely raised her hand to say hello to everyone:
"I'm late, everyone has been waiting for a long time, sorry, sorry. ”
Ouyang Dingtian looked at Hua Duxiu's eyes with a hint of schadenfreude, as if to say, you kid also have today?
The fourth prince coughed lightly, as if he didn't see Hua Duxiu, and raised his hand and said:
"Alright, everyone's ready, close the door. Lao Li, you tell everyone about the battle plan set by Uncle Huang. ”
Li Fugui took a step forward and began to explain the next battle plan.
Hua Duxiu had never experienced a naval battle, let alone a war of this scale, so he listened very carefully while lying there.
The first stage of naval warfare had nothing to do with the small fleet of the Shenji Battalion, and its own Mobei Naval Division stood in the way. When the enemy's fiercest attack is stopped, the three Imperial ships will immediately attack in the middle of the attack, responsible for tearing apart the opponent's formation and creating the conditions for the third phase of the general attack.
The second stage is the hard steel on both sides.
When the enemy begins to rout, it will be the fourth stage, that is, the two wings of high-speed battleships quickly outflank, striving to leave all the opposing sailors and eat them.
When Li Fugui finished talking about the strategy, the fourth prince asked, "Have you heard it clearly, and what's the problem?"
Everyone explained, but Hua Duxiu raised his arm and asked, "That...... Your Highness, the minister has a question. ”
The fourth prince glared at Hua Duxiu angrily and said, "What's the problem, let's talk about it." ”
Hua Duxiu said: "Your old man wants to participate in the war in person?"
The fourth prince sat up straight, and said righteously: "In the second stage of the naval battle, if the palace wants to lead the flagship to charge, it will naturally participate in the battle. ”
Hua Duxiu asked again: "Are you standing on the bow of the ship and showing your face, or are you jumping on the enemy ship with real knives and guns to cut people?"
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they all looked at Hua Duxiu like fools, and Li Fugui interrupted: "General Hua, His Royal Highness's daughter's body, and the deputy marshal of the army, naturally stay on the ship to dispatch and command." ”
Hua Duxiu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Then I'll rest assured." As long as Your Highness doesn't take risks yourself, I don't have to get up and work, after all, I am His Highness's personal guard.
If His Highness ends up fighting, how can he be without me by his side?"
The fourth prince coughed lightly, and said with a dark face: "You are enthusiastic and loyal, but with your current state, let alone protecting me, you can't even protect yourself, right?"
Hua Duxiu said loudly: "If the heart is there, the dream is there, I Hua Duxiu is serious, and I am no worse than anyone else!"
The fourth prince waved his hand in annoyance: "Okay, okay, this palace knows." Do the others still have problems? If they don't, they will give the military order and wait for the fighters to come, and the ships will attack with the Honguza ship!"
After the leaders of the warships dispersed, only the four princes, Li Fugui and the four guards were left in the huge command room.
The fourth prince glanced at Hua Duxiu: "Hua Qing, you still have this dry hair, go back and rest." ”
Hua Duxiu struggled to sit up from the stretcher and said, "The big war is about to start, how can you rest?" If Your Highness is not busy, can you tell the ministers what is going on with the rebels, and who are their masters?
The fourth prince was speechless and said, "Didn't someone tell you about this information before it went to sea?
Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Have you talked about it? When did you talk about it? Why don't I know?"
Hua Duxiu glanced at Li Fugui, Li Fugui said with a dark face: "Didn't I send someone to talk about it when I was in Mobei Military Port, and I also sent detailed information to each of you, didn't you read it?"
Hua Duxiu suddenly remembered that someone had indeed told him about the enemy when he was in Mobei, but at that time, Young Master Hua had just established a relationship with Ding Qiqi and was falling in love, and his head was full of Qiqi's figure, and he didn't listen to what others said.
Especially since he didn't plan to participate in the war at all, it was impossible for him to rush to the front as the fourth prince, and he had the right to travel this time to escort.
As for what information, as soon as he got on the boat, he fainted, how can he read any information?
The more I look at it, the more dizzy I get.
But these days, after seeing the battle between King Minghong and the rebel bosses, Hua Duxiu became interested in these top masters again, and wanted to know about the information of the rebels.
The fourth prince looked at Hua Duxiu with a stunned look, and sat down again: "Lao Li, tell him about it." ”
Li Fugui was also quite speechless about Hua Duxiu.
However, it is undeniable that Hua Duxiu in a normal state does have merits.
Don't look at him now, it seems that a weak woman can beat him, but in fact, Hua Duxiu has excellent swordsmanship, and his actual combat skills are probably not inferior to those three masters of the third realm.
Li Fugui patiently introduced the situation of the Canghaiyue rebels.
The leader of the rebel army is named Shu Daqiang, who was originally a member of the Canghaiyue Governor's Mansion, and due to fate, he cultivated a heaven-seizing demon method in Canghaiyue, and his strength entered the realm of "God King".
This demon method, which is said to be called the "Six Calamities Ascension to Heaven Dafa", can attract the power of heaven and earth, simulating six forms of terrifying disasters such as sending troops, drought, waterlogging, inflammation, wind, and demons, and is extremely powerful.
In addition, Shu Daqiang's children are all gifted, and they have learned some of his demon methods, and the Shu family gradually controls the actual control of the government army.
When the Shu family was ready, with the five-year rotation of governors, Shu Daqiang launched a rebellion, occupied the entire Canghaiyue Island, sat on the ground and became king, and fought against the empire.
This is the general information of the rebels.
After listening to Li Fugui's speech, Hua Duxiu asked, "Six forms of terrifying disasters? What does this mean?"
Li Fugui said: "Do you remember the strange wind that arose on the sea not long ago?"
Hua Duxiu was taken aback and asked, "Is that the demon method created by the leader of the rebel army?"
Li Fugui shook his head and said, "According to the intelligence, it should be a form of the 'wind' disaster in the 'Six Calamities Ascension Demon Method'. His Royal Highness King Minghong saw where the opponent's life was, and he broke the skill with one sword, which should have severely damaged the opponent. ”
Hua Duxiu: "...... It's so easy to hit Shu Da Wall?"
Li Fugui said earnestly: "Easy? Do you think that knife is easy? Moreover, the enemy who suffered heavy losses may not be Shu Daqiang, but probably one of his sons." ”
Hua Duxiu is a little messy.
That knife is indeed amazing, almost even the sky is split into two pieces, if the person who took this knife is not Shu Daqiang, but one of his sons, then his son is too violent, right?
At least he was confident that he wouldn't be able to take that knife, and the few big masters he knew, Batu, Bao Qinggang, etc., couldn't take it either.
Hua Duxiu said in a deep voice: "A son is so strong, what kind of strength does Shu Daqiang have?
The fourth prince said: "According to the intelligence, when the first expedition was made a few years ago, Shu Daqiang was already in the realm of 'unity of heaven and man'.
But don't worry, Shu Daqiang has his own emperor uncle to deal with, and when the enemy sailors are annihilated and the army lands, the annihilation of the rebels is just around the corner. ”
Hua Duxiu didn't refute, but he always felt that there was something wrong.
A son is so powerful, how many children does he have?
That's it, there are still two "god kings" on the empire's side who haven't made a move, and there are countless great masters of the third realm who are in charge, and it is not my turn to worry about a scumbag with seventh-level combat power.
I just have to watch the big guys fight, it's a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity.
After talking for a while, Li Fugui ordered someone to carry Hua Duxiu back to the lower cabin to rest.
Two hours later, the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet and the rebel fleet finally came within range, and the tragic sea battle began.
The main force of the naval battle on the Imperial side was hundreds of huge heavy ships with heavy iron at the bow, and after two hours of sailing and changing formations, the heavy ships stopped the rebel fleet in a half-arc.
Although there are many sea boats on the rebel side, the types of ships are too messy, and many of them even look like they are converted from fishing boats, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.
There were several heavy ballistae on the left and right sides of the imperial giant ship, and the ballista fire required extremely powerful elastic power, and it often took five or six elite men to work together to shoot a long crossbow more than a foot long from the ballista.
Once the crossbow arrows were fired, the vast majority of the rebels' sea ships could not withstand it at all, and they were penetrated in an instant.
The head of the longbow was made of steel, strong and heavy, and the wooden ship was fragile like a layer of window paper in front of it.
When the distance between the two sides was close enough, countless archers immediately flashed on the side of the giant ship, shooting at the much shorter rebel ship, frantically harvesting the lives of the rebel soldiers.
Hua Duxiu rested for a long time, took a few seasickness pills, and then climbed to the top of the mast and watched this epic naval battle from a high lookout.
The rebels' sea ships were divided into two waves, front and rear.
In the previous wave, hundreds of warships were sunk as soon as they entered the range of the ballistas, and the remaining warships sailed forward desperately, wanting to stick to the imperial warships to board the ship for hand-to-hand combat.
Unfortunately, even though their warships were able to get close to the Imperial ships, most of the rebel soldiers were shot dead before they could board the ships, and the fierce battle lasted for a long time, and the sea was full of floating corpses.
Most of these bodies were left behind by the rebels.
Even if a small number of lucky people rushed to the deck of the Imperial Ship, slashed and killed with real knives and guns, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force, they could not escape the fate of being dismembered by random knives in the end.
There's no way, a good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves.
Besides, the Imperial samurai on the heavy warships are all the elite of the elite, even if they are one-on-one, the rebel samurai may not be their opponents.
The encounter lasted for half a day, and the rebels were able to stick to the ships of the Empire's heavy warships, and the combined number of ships was less than a hundred.
Most of the ships were sunk by the powerful ballistas.
At this time, the second wave of rebel sea ships approached.
As the ships approached, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky.
This time, it's the north wind!
The hundreds of ships of the rebels were all slender and long, high-speed sea ships, and when the north wind rose, the sea ships immediately hoisted their sails, and their speed suddenly increased more than doubled, and they rushed towards the Imperial fleet with an indomitable attitude!
Hua Duxiu looked at this scene in surprise from a high place, and asked herself:
"What is this for, suicide? The bow of the Imperial warship is covered with iron, and the head is iron, even if it is a hard hit, you can't hit the iron giant, right?"
