Chapter 878: The Decisive Battle (3) (Page 1/1)
"Boom ......"
With a thunderous explosion, a handsome ship directly rose into a cloud of fire. Explosions followed, and more than a dozen warships, which were listed as handsome ships, were instantly overwhelmed by the fire.
The fire of war did not subside for a moment at the beginning, and Haoda must also strive for the maximum lethality, and with the success of this sneak attack, he must destroy the enemy's warships to the greatest extent.
Suddenly, they were attacked by such a fierce attack, and the Yiren and the Japanese army were also panicked. Fortunately, the enemy's generals reacted in time and suppressed the chaotic military spirit.
But before they could find the attacking enemy, the heavy bombardment of the Dongjiang Army plunged them into chaos again.
A loud roar rang out in the explosions, and the sixty hot air balloons were already fighting on their own, no longer needing any command. As soon as an enemy ship is discovered, it will be bombarded indiscriminately, without mercy.
Some people on the battlefield were happy, and naturally some people were worried, and more than a dozen warships that were listed as suspicious were blown up by Haoda's order at the first time. However, to Haoda's surprise, even if he was so careful, he still failed to kill Auf and Taro Shinno.
Having fought at sea all year round, characters like Auf and Taro Shinno are perfectly experienced in avoiding such a thing. And they always keep it in mind, no, once again prove the advantage of being careful at all times, that is, the two of them will not die unjustly again.
Seeing that the warship that used to belong to him had been completely destroyed by the fire, Auf's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.
Taro Shinno was no better, and his ships were destroyed as well. Think that if I were on the boat tonight, I would have died.
The position of the two of them at the moment happened to be the place that they had overlooked, and since it was night, their vision was extremely limited. If it weren't for the burning warships underneath, it would have been difficult for them to see the enemy warships around them. But even under such circumstances, the Dongjiang Army still destroyed at least 50 or so enemy ships in this instant.
Auf and Taro Shinno watched their ships being covered in flames one after another, and this situation caused their hearts to bleed. Hate but helpless at the same time, and after sobering up, both of them felt a chill in their backs.
Taro Shinno suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Auf, we must give the order to escape as soon as possible......"
This time, Taro Shinno did not panic and only cared about running for his life, but opened his mouth to warn Aufu. Being shouted like this, Auf finally came to his senses, and he didn't say a word, but directly yelled at the generals beside him, telling them to flee immediately.
As soon as the order was issued, Auf and Taro Shinno immediately ordered the small warship they were riding on at the moment to turn around and run. did not wait for their subordinates at all, it can be seen that the crisis at this moment has far exceeded the ability of the two of them to bear.
Auf and Taro Shinno's escape, the vast unaware, he is still pouring out the anger in his heart for many days. He didn't even plan to go back with a little gunpowder or explosive oil, and vowed to use up all the things he had brought out.
In the end, under the massive and indiscriminate bombardment, nearly 100 enemy warships were destroyed, and only a few dozen were able to escape.
At this time, the sky had begun to lighten, and all the things that the Dongjiang army could throw down had been thrown away. The battlefield on the sea was now completely in shambles, littered with fragments and corpses of warships.
This time, Haoda won a complete victory, and the Dongjiang Army knocked out far more than half of the enemy's ships without losing a single person. With this record, he should be happy, but Haoda didn't have a happy expression on his face.
According to the outpost that went to investigate, dozens of enemy warships still escaped. And this means that it is very likely that the commander of the enemy army is still alive and did not die in last night's sneak attack.
This kind of result is the last thing Haoda wants to see, but it still happened. At this time, if you want to pursue again, there is no gunpowder or fierce fire oil, so there is no choice.
With a hint of loss, Haoda could only go home and return to Xiangjiang to explain the situation to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong obviously didn't know as much as Haoda, he knew that in the battle last night, Haoda actually defeated more than half of the enemy's strength, and laughed happily.
Laughed at Mao Wenlong and said: "Okay, this time I will give you a great credit, and after I go back, I will reward you!" ”
Haoda didn't shirk it, although this battle relied on luck, but it was also his hard work. Mao Wenlong wants to reward meritorious deeds, there is nothing polite about this, just accept it all.
The merits and demerits of other people are naturally recorded by the clerks in the army, and Mao Wenlong does not have to name them one by one. After packing up his mood, Mao Wenlong began to put his mind back on Xiangjiang Island.
It was inevitable to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but Mao Wenlong had to start thinking about another problem. That is, how should the defense of Xiangjiang Island be arranged?
There is no suspense in repelling the enemy army, but the next defense is the top priority. How to ensure that Xiangjiang Island will not be exploited by the enemy in the future is the most important thing at present.
After thinking for a long time, Mao Wenlong suddenly spoke: "Adou has not sent any news so far, and we don't know the situation over there yet." As for this side, we are still holding our troops for the time being, just stay vigilant. ”
After a pause, Mao Wenlong put his eyes back on the vast body: "You must always be ready to fight, once you find that there are enemy troops coming, no matter how many, you must defeat them, and no one will be left." ”
Haoda did not hesitate to give his hand: "Yes, chief soldier!" ”
Nodding, Mao Wenlong waved his hand to let everyone retreat and rest. The rush and the war in the past few days have tensed everyone's nerves. Now that the war has finally taken a turn, everyone can breathe a little sigh of relief and relax their tensions by the way.
The whole day was spent in peace, and the enemy army did not appear again after the defeat. It was as if they had disappeared into the vast sea, and there was no longer any chance of them appearing.
Early the next morning, the news sent by Adou from Guangzhou finally arrived on Xiangjiang Island. When Mao Wenlong learned that the Japanese robbed the supplies of Guangzhou City and set fire to the city, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot.
It is clear that the Japanese are feeding the war with war, and by the way, they also destroy the defense of the coastal cities of the Ming Dynasty. Their methods are very bad, and Mao Wenlong must not let them continue like this. Otherwise, if you don't wait for the development of the water division, it is very likely that all the efforts will be in vain.
In the end, Mao Wenlong decided to leave 20,000 troops on Xiangjiang Island to defend and half of the 60 hot air balloons to assist in the defense. After that, he hurried back to Guangzhou with the rest of his soldiers and horses to join Adou.
