Zhao Yu listened to the report, and the casualties, gains and losses of this battle were also roughly counted and reported. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn this battle, a total of 123 officers and soldiers of each battalion of the naval army were killed, and more than 300 were seriously wounded; Three small warships were destroyed and more than a dozen warships were damaged and damaged, including three dragon ships, all of whom had to be brought in for repair. In this battle, more than 60 enemy ships of all sizes were sunk, more than 10 ships were severely damaged, and more than 700 enemy soldiers were captured.

Judging from the summary, Zhao Yu found that the casualties of officers and soldiers and the destroyed warships were caused by the enemy's stone throwers, and his own results were mostly from ballistas and rockets. Therefore, it can be concluded that this battle was a contest of long-range firepower, rather than traditional ramming and hand-to-hand combat, which shows that the enemy army has learned from the experience of the previous defeats of the Qiongzhou naval army and strengthened the assembly of long-range strike weapons. From the other side, it also proves that these trolls are coming at themselves.

On the surface, the results of this battle are not small, and it is called the last victory, but it has also exposed many problems, especially the mistakes in intelligence that led to passivity everywhere and improper handling and response. If it weren't for a flash of inspiration in his mind, he intuitively judged that the enemy naval army had basically been assembled and sent reinforcements in time, it was very likely that Liu Wenjun would have been left at sea.

"Although our army won this battle, it was also extremely dangerous, strictly speaking, it was a defeat, and I don't know why you still laughed?" Zhao Yu slammed the scroll on the desk with a 'snap', squinted his eyes and scanned the generals in the hall and asked.

Originally, everyone thought that although there were small losses in this battle, they would destroy more than ten times the enemy themselves, and it could not be said that it was a defeat. And the little emperor also nodded frequently when listening to the report, and did not show any dissatisfaction, and also gave the officers and soldiers who returned to the ship more vegetables to treat them well. Therefore, everyone thought that even if they would not be rewarded, they would definitely praise it. It was with this thought that everyone was very relaxed, talking and laughing about the battle that had just ended, and laughing at the enemy army who had been beaten so badly. But the style of painting changed abruptly in an instant, and the little emperor became angry, which overwhelmed everyone for a while.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates thought that this battle was unfavorable, first of all, they underestimated the strength of the enemy's army, so they rashly launched a large-scale search and put the sentinel detachment in danger, thus causing unnecessary losses, which is all the fault of their subordinates!" Liu Zhu saw that everyone was stared at by the little emperor's 'sharp' gaze and didn't dare to raise his head, and he was also sweating, but the little emperor was afraid that he would be even more angry, so he hurriedly self-examined.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates were too careless and underestimated the power of the enemy's golden juice cannons, causing damage to many ships. Again...... Then you shouldn't use the tactics of attacking hard to rush forward when you are passive; In addition, the wrong tactics were adopted, and without destroying or suppressing the enemy's trebuchets, they launched a collision, causing serious damage to the three ships on the battlefield and having to withdraw from the battle ahead of schedule! Chen Renweng said with great shame that when the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us in Qizhouyang was extremely large, and the battle situation was several times more intense, none of the ten dragon ships withdrew from the battle from beginning to end because of injuries, which showed that he had a problem in command.

"Your Majesty, the fault of your subordinates is that they failed to judge the situation and miscalculated the combat effectiveness of the enemy's army. And after receiving losses, they did not correct their mistakes in time, but were carried away by anger and rashly launched a pursuit, if it were not for the timely arrival of reinforcements, it would have caused great losses! Liu Wenjun saw that both of them had started self-examination, and he also understood that His Majesty was not satisfied with their performance, and hurriedly launched self-criticism.

"Your Majesty, the combat preparations of his subordinates were not done well, so that they only replenished supplies when they received the order to sail, which delayed time; In addition, after sailing, no sentinel ships were sent to join the search, and only relied on the intelligence provided by the sentinel ships that patrolled in the early stage, and failed to arrive at the combat site in time, so that the fighters were missed. Dong Yicheng thought that he didn't catch up with the battle, but there was also a mistake, and he also reviewed.

"That's a good point!" Zhao Yu nodded, but said sharply, "But what you said is only a superficial fault, but none of you have said it fundamentally!" ”

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!" Liu Zhu saw that the little emperor was still not satisfied, but he really couldn't think of what was wrong, so he could only get up and ask politely.

"We're all wrong about a proud word!" Zhao Yu said with a straight face, "Our navy has won several battles since it became an army, but it has also grown arrogant, thinking that the world is invincible, everything we say and do is based on this setting, but we don't know that there is a sky outside the sky." If it weren't for the fact that the newly arrived enemy forces were not familiar with our combat methods, they would have been completely annihilated! ”

"Your Majesty is saying that this conflict is not an accident, but a trap of the enemy?" Liu Zhu came down in a cold sweat when he heard this, if this matter was premeditated by the enemy, but he didn't know it, thinking that the enemy army was still complacent after defeating, this was very terrible. If you don't realize it, then you may not be so lucky next time.

"Think about the whole thing. The fact that the enemy has been secretly assembling for nearly a month and have never shown any flaws shows that they are extremely cautious, but this time they 'mistakenly crossed' our cordon in broad daylight. ”

"And when our sentinel found out, it came close to the boarding ship and was suddenly attacked, isn't it?" Zhao Hao asked again, and everyone nodded and thought that His Majesty was right, "Okay, many of you have operated trebuchets before, which of you can remove the camouflage in just a few breaths, set up the trebuchet, and complete the loading, aiming, and launching?" ”

"Your Majesty, even if a small trebuchet is operated by a dozen or so men, it will take at least a quarter of an hour for a well-trained soldier to complete the launch from the time he receives the order, and it will be slower at sea. This shows that the enemy ship has completed its preparations for launch when the sentinel ship approaches, but perhaps the enemy ship is worried about being discovered after discovering that it has crossed the cordon, so it is ready for battle! Liu Wenjun said, but also expressed his doubts.

"Well, even if the enemy is worried about crossing the line and preparing for battle to prevent accidents, then do you think three medium-sized warships can beat it, or can't catch up with a damaged sentinel ship?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty laughed, how did you fight!" Liu Wenjun said with a smile.

"Okay, let's turn around, if you are the leader of three enemy ships, are you in a hurry to flee after you have a successful blow? Or do you sink the 'enemy ships' all together, instead of watching them calmly rescue the overboard robes and let them pass on the news of the attack? Zhao Yu was not annoyed, but made assumptions based on his statement.

"If the subordinates lead the army, they must sink all the sentry ships and shoot all the enemy soldiers who fall into the water, instead of rushing away!" Liu Wenjun replied without thinking, and everyone also nodded yes, indicating that they would do the same when they encountered this kind of thing.

"That's just the second thing I suspect!" Zhao Yu reconfirmed and continued, "Even if they fled in a hurry because they were afraid of being hit by a blow as you said, everyone already knows that the enemy army is already very familiar with the routes and nodes of our cruise, and with the speed of their warships, they can completely avoid our interception, and have time to enter Xuwen Port, there is no need to hide in Guantou Village and hide overnight, expose their transit place, and then chase and beat them after we find out the next day!" ”

"Your Majesty's suspicions are completely justified, this is exactly the enemy's trick!" Liu Zhu thought about it and said, "The enemy has calculated that we will definitely retaliate if we suffer losses, and will search for us on a large scale, so they used three ships as bait to lure us to the open sea of Xu Wen, and more than 70 warships have been ambushed there, annihilating the fleet that we have reinforced one by one. Although this move cannot shake our foundation, it is also a great blow to our morale. It's just that they didn't expect that the mobile fleet we sent out would have so many warships, so they didn't succeed.

"The enemy fleet behind the headland was supposed to be preparing to ambush our reinforcement fleet, but they didn't expect Xu Wen's enemy army to be defeated too quickly and fled to the ambushed sea area, which exposed the reinforcement fleet in advance. And it was just that the reinforcements of Chengmai arrived almost at the same time, so that the two sides were evenly matched, and they did not dare to engage in the battle without authorization, and our army was able to escape this catastrophe. Your Majesty, is your subordinate's analysis correct? ”

"Well, that's pretty much it." Zhao Yu nodded and said with a little relief, his subordinates are not all straw bales.

"Eh, fortunately, as soon as they met, they gave them a meal of 'hot meat', otherwise they would have really succeeded in their tricks!" Liu Wenjun listened to it and shouted for his wise decision.

"yes, yes, if I hadn't given them another beating when I retreated, maybe they would have caught up!" Dong Yicheng also laughed and agreed.

"Hmph, I haven't asked yet, you two are invited!" Zhao Yu looked at Liu Wenjun, and then at Dong Yicheng and snorted coldly.

"The subordinates don't dare!" The two of them listened to His Majesty's bad words, and immediately regretted their self-inflicted cleverness just now, didn't they have nothing to do? They glanced at each other and quickly got up and saluted.

"Commander Liu, if you want to disrupt the formation of the enemy's fleet with the first round of rockets, it can be regarded as the past, and I can't say anything. But when you have already destroyed seventy percent of the enemy ships, why did you fire a second round of rockets in a salvo? Zhao Yu walked over with a pace, raised his hand and patted Liu Wenjun's shoulder, who was bent over.

"Your Majesty, subordinates are ......" Liu Wenjun stammered for a long time and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, but sweat flowed down his neck.

"Commander Dong, tell me that the enemy army has not moved, and the two armies are more than a thousand steps apart, will your round of rocket salvo blow up the ship or the fish?" Zhao Yu turned around again, and asked Dong Yicheng with his hands behind his back.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are really ......" Dong Yicheng snorted for a while and couldn't come up with a reason, he knew that the rocket was made by His Majesty, and he knew better than everyone here how to use it, and he didn't feel a little regretful about his impulsiveness at that time.

"Hmph, if you can't say it, you are dereliction of duty, false reporting of loss, and dereliction of duty!" Zhao Yu pointed at the two of them and said.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" I couldn't stand which hat was buttoned down, and the two knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty.

"Do you know how many processes it takes to build a rocket, and how much money it takes?" The more Zhao Yu said, the more angry he picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it on the ground, "It takes more than 20 processes, through the hands of more than ten craftsmen, and it costs thousands of dollars to send it to your warship, and you will need 500 yuan for a salvo!" That's enough for a battalion of soldiers to pay for five days' food, and it takes 500 acres of land to pay taxes, but you don't have to let me off fireworks for nothing. ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are wrong, you have to fight and punish without complaints!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng said with a look of shame when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, although the two of them have had a relationship, but the big war is coming, please ask Your Majesty to deal with it at your discretion." Liu Zhu saw that the little emperor was angry and ruined, and he was really afraid that he would withdraw the two generals in anger, and how could the battle be fought, so he hurriedly pleaded.

"Your Majesty, although the generals in this battle are at fault, it can be regarded as a small victory, and please allow Your Majesty to allow the two generals to make meritorious contributions and avoid the pain of flesh and skin!" Chen Renweng also hurriedly stepped forward to help speak.

"Eh, they both interceded for the two of you, so what do you think I should do with you?" Zhao Yu squatted down and asked Liu Wenjun with a smile.

"I only hope that Your Majesty can leave his subordinates with his life and allow his subordinates to go into battle to kill the enemy!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng looked up at His Majesty and said.

"Well, this attitude is not bad, but if you are not punished, you will not have a long memory!" Zhao Yu stood up and circled around them.

"As long as you can go into battle, whether you are beaten or punished, your subordinates will never say anything!" The two of them craned their necks to watch the little emperor turn around and turn around, and it was very difficult to speak.

"Oh, there's an idea. From this day onwards, the two of you will be given the same amount of food as an ordinary sergeant, and you must share three meals a day with the soldiers, and you must not open a small stove privately. Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are willing to fight with military sticks!" Liu Wenjun said with a bitter face when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, let's confiscate your subordinates!" Dong Yicheng's face darkened, and he also pleaded.

"Not allowed! For a tentative period of one year, I will make people stare at you, if you open a small stove privately and add food without permission, go to the Sheji number to wipe the deck of me! Zhao Hao said sharply.

"Your Majesty has dealt with it lightly, you are still bargaining, thank you quickly, wait for death!" Yoo so walked over and kicked them, and said softly.

"Subordinate Xie Your Majesty Longen, long live, long live, long live!" Liu Wenjun and Dong Yicheng had no choice but to kowtow and thank them.

"I'm sleepy, you guys should rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow if there's something to do!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to let the two of them get up, yawned, and walked to the backyard after speaking.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" And the crowd hastened to salute.

"Dutong, Your Majesty's trick is ruthless, not only did you lose your stomach, but also lost face, it's really better to be beaten with a military stick!" Seeing that His Majesty was gone, Liu Wenjun straightened up and complained to Liu Zhu.

"Beat you with a military stick, and the scar will heal in three or five days, and forget the pain, and this ...... When you eat, you will remember today's mistakes and never forget them! Liu Zhu smiled and said in his heart, His Majesty is really not simple, he can come up with such a ruthless trick, but it is even more interesting to think that the two of them will have to squat on the deck with bowls and soldiers to dine in the future......
