Chapter 1118: Storm (1)
Two days later, Jiang Qian's study in Guangxin Gongfu, due to the impact of the capital county, Guangxin's economy was impacted, but the overall situation was still stable, and there was no large-scale strike wave, but he had clearly felt the trouble caused by the economic shutdown.
What puzzled him even more was that the number of merchant ships that had recently stopped in Guangxin from the north had suddenly plummeted to an incredible level, and not a single merchant ship had entered the port for more than ten days.
"Mr. Chen, could it be that the domestic sāo luàn forced the princes to take measures against the Xian State, blocking the coast and prohibiting the passage of sea vessels, resulting in a sharp decline in merchant ships."
Jiang Qian asked Chen Yunfeng, pacing back and forth anxiously, his eyelids kept jumping, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.
"My lord, I can't make such a conclusion now. The rebellion in Sangbei was not serious, and the merchant travelers were still able to travel along the coast, which shows that Changsun did not block the border city, so he ......"
Before the words fell, Chen Yunfeng's eldest son, Chen Nuo, suddenly broke into the study, with a panicked and panicked expression:
"Lord, father, something is wrong!"
Jiang Qian heard that the news was unknown, so he hurriedly asked:
"Don't panic, let's talk slowly."
At this time, Chen Yunfeng said:
"Noir, what's going on?"
"It was the armpits, the armpit freak fleet attacked all the trade routes along the coast, and 20 days ago in the open sea encountered 20 warships of our navy, and under the fierce battle, our army was defeated, and 17 warships were sunk, and only 3 escaped. It is said that there are 100 armpit warships with only 30,000 stones, and there are countless 20,000 stone ships behind them, and they are rushing towards our Guangxin with all their might!
General Chen and General Sikong have rushed to the fortress after receiving the news, and in one day at most, the armpit fleet will arrive in Guangxin, and 100,000 are in a hurry! ”
Jiang Qian gasped, his face was as white as snow in an instant, and he only said two words:
"It's over, it's over...... It's all over ......."
Forty days ago, the armpit fleet arrived near the coast of Changsun Haitian County to carry out a forced landing operation, and about 14 days later, its main fleet arrived to converge, further control the beachhead, expand the results of the battle, and march inland.
Due to the constraints of road traffic and horse speed, it has been twenty days since the Lord of the Eldest Sun Kingdom got the news, but it still did not attract enough attention, and it was not until the armpit people continued to expand the results of the battle after the comprehensive capture of Haitian County, and it was more than a month later.
Soon after the frontal landing to consolidate the battle line, the main fleet of the armpit people was divided into three, all the way to the west coast of Changsun, and all the way to the east coast of Changsun, that is, Xianguo.
At that time, there happened to be a detachment of the Xian Navy patrolling the open sea, but unfortunately encountered the advance fleet of the armpit people, who only thought that they had collided with an ordinary large merchant fleet, so they opened fire on the Xian army, and the salty army counterattacked immediately, and the two sides immediately engaged in a full-scale battle.
At first, they only thought that human beings were still in the relatively primitive Bronze Age, with a small number of inferior huǒ yào and cannons, but the Xian army's fire undoubtedly shocked them completely.
The artillery of this detachment patrolling the open sea is still the old ship-based gun of the Type 645 that has not been upgraded, but the gun has a long range, high accuracy, and the cannon is far beyond the imagination of the armpit people.
Under the battle between the two sides, the Xian army immediately gained the upper hand, but as the naval battle continued, the main armpit fleet arrived on the battlefield one after another, and the Xian army was outnumbered, after sinking 31 ships and damaging 27 ships, its own side was also sunk 8 ships, and 9 ships were seriously damaged.
Due to the discovery of the human firepower stronghold, this fleet, which was supposed to pounce on the east coast of Changsun, decisively changed course, followed the three warships of the Xian army, and decided to prioritize the elimination of human settlements with industrial capabilities, so they chased all the way to Guangxin.
In the afternoon of the same day, 50 miles north of Guangxin, the battle clouds were dense with artillery fire, and the main fleet of the Xian army led by Chen Qu, the governor of the capital, broke out into a fierce exchange of fire with the armpit fleet, and the victory and defeat were not decided until dark.
In the early morning of May 28, Guangxin Hongling urgently delivered the Sima Mansion in Shanling, and the news was quickly sent to Lu Gao's Mansion:
"Lord Sima, Lord Sima, 100,000 urgent, 100,000 urgent!"
Outside the guard's dormitory, Lu Gao woke up in horror, thinking that the situation had deteriorated and there was a rebellion. Hurriedly put on his robe, Lu Gao came to the dormitory with a flashlight, only to see a large number of generals flocking outside the door, and the seriousness of the situation can be seen. Calming down, he looked at Gu Rentao, the envoy of the Division, and said:
"General Gu, is it a rebellion in the capital county!"
"Lord Si Nong, Guangxin sent an urgent letter for help, the armpit fleet arrived in Guangxin yesterday afternoon, and it has been fully defeated and defeated by General Chen Qu's navy, and Guangxin quickly requested to send reinforcements."
Hearing the news, Lu Gao was silent, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the next moment he fell to the ground unconscious. Everyone hurriedly sent him to the bedroom for rescue, and quickly sent someone to contact Taiwei and Lu Hou.
At the end of the day, Taiwei Zhang You and Luhou Xue Chong quickly entered the palace, King Xian was still asleep, and the two of them were blocked outside the Yanping Palace:
"Marquis Lu, Taiwei, the king is sleeping peacefully, why do you two have to meet the king overnight."
Zhang You said coldly:
"Yesterday afternoon, more than 600 warships of the armpit human fleet rushed to Guangxin and fought fiercely with General Chen Qu.
Yan Ping was shocked when he heard the news, and he asked:
"Lord Taiwei's words are true!"
"Can there be any fake, General Yan will see for himself."
Zhang You threw the urgent item to Yanping, and after a closer look, Yanping was shocked, and quickly entered the palace to wake up King Xian. Regarding this sudden news, Jiang Yu still didn't believe it:
"General Yan, is this matter credible!"
"My lord, the matter has come to this point, how can it be fake."
"Hiss......"
Yan Ping's words suddenly made Jiang Yu's back cold, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the inside and outside were transparent.
"Quick, gather the cabinet now, go quickly!"
"No!"
The movement of the inner palace soon reached Xihuan's dormitory, and Xihuan was hurriedly awakened from his sleep.
"Manager Gu, why do you have to wake up the palace late at night." Xihuan said unhappily, his eyes were foggy and he yawned.
Gu Chen didn't know what to say at the moment, and after brewing in his heart for a long time, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Queen, the armpit people are menacing, and they have already hit Guangxin, which is only more than 800 miles away from the national capital."
Xihuan's soul was still in her dream, and she didn't understand it at first, but then she suddenly panicked:
"What, it's all hit Guangxin!"
Gu Chen nodded with a sad face and said:
"Just yesterday afternoon."
"Is the news accurate, Ji Jinsheng!"
"The news is very accurate, General Ji is asking the school pavilion to inquire about the news, General Ji said that it is recommended to mobilize the northern army immediately, if Beihai County is lost, it must be evacuated immediately."
"What, evacuate!"
Xihuan was stunned, she never thought of running away so down, but Gu Chen said:
"It is said that there were more than 600 armpit warships that rushed to Guangxin, most of which were large ships of more than 10,000 stones, and each ship had more than 50 cannons or more than 100 guns. No matter how strong the Xianguo navy is, I am afraid it will not be able to resist, once the armpit people land in Guangxin, they will inevitably go all the way south to take the Lingling, with the current situation of the Xianguo, if the navy cannot resist, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed. ”
"Death, death!"
Xihuan was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
At the same time, the call has been made to Yongxing, Xuanyun, Ruitian and other places, because the incident was so sudden, that it greatly surprised everyone, including Bailiyan.
"I really didn't expect it to come so quickly!"
The next moment of the storm said:
"It seems that a catastrophe is inevitable."
"What do you suggest?"
"It's not easy to say, judging from the information provided by Jiang Jie, the armpit people chased the three defeated warships and found Guangxin, which means that they had made a serious mistake in their previous judgment of the human race, so they began to prioritize the elimination of the human system with industrial capabilities and potential war capabilities, so they will quickly gather forces, quickly extinguish them after finding out the strength of the Xianguo, and then land. But you still have a chance. ”
"Chance, what chance?"
"First of all, the armpit people are very wise, but now we have a basic understanding of them, they have a basic understanding of human beings, but they don't understand advanced civilization human beings, so once they find out that there are strong and weak human beings, and they have an opponent in chess, after finding out the strong side of human beings, if it is confirmed that the core of human industry and high-quality military resources are in the Xianguo generation, then they will attack wildly until they are frustrated."
"And then?"
"If you resist their attack, then you will enter the second stage, and they will gradually find that the core industrial area and elite armed forces of the human race are limited to this area, and the rest of the vast coastal inland areas are still very weak, so they will choose to turn back and continue to attack the Changsun Kingdom and other princes after encountering strong resistance.
At the same time, after a period of confrontation, they will find that there are also multiple countries in human beings, so they will think that there are fēn liè and contradictions within human beings, and they are not in harmony.
Next, they will change their strategy, try to block the Xianguo at sea to prevent the Xianguo Navy from going to sea, and at the same time invade other regions, forcing the mobilization of the elite army resources of the Xianguo to fight the fire separately, so that the advanced armed forces equipped with the industrial resources of the Xianguo can be continuously split and sent to various places to dilute the Xian ** force, and then they will be divided and eliminated. ”
"In this way, as long as they know the pain, he will change back to his strategy and suspend the war against Xianguo."
"Yes, according to normal logic, when the same ethnic group faces a common threat, they will forcibly unite under external pressure, so according to logic, the Xian country will inevitably send troops to rescue the areas attacked by them, so the Xian army will naturally be mobilized by them, so I don't recommend that you go abroad to fight when you are not prepared.
In addition, although it was menacing this time, I think that not all of them were warships, most of them were armed warships and supply ships, and a few were warships. ”
"How many are your minority, that's more than six hundred, even if it's an armed cargo ship, it's not a small number."
"It's not easy to say, from the data analysis you provided earlier, if there are more than six hundred, at least a quarter of the fully combated ships, that is, more than one hundred and fifty fully armed warships, if so, the North Sea Fleet should be able to achieve a decisive victory, and the rest is to drive away and sink their armed warships and supply ships."
