Chapter 1124: Tempest (7)

On the first day of the first month of March, the eldest grandson's urgent letter of state was delivered to Chenling, but due to the rebellion of Qingtian, Sangnan and Sangbei, the traffic was blocked, and the letter of urgency arrived five days late.

On the third day of the first month of March, the letter of urgency of the Liang State was also delivered to the Lingling, but this was only a month ago, and the Liang State had fallen into a sea of fire at this time.

Due to the landing of the warships transporting infantry on the west coast of Changsun Kingdom, it was temporarily unable to seize the beach of Jinye, but in the coastal waters outside the city, the shelling of Jinye was carried out for more than ten consecutive days, and the whole city fell into a sea of fire, and countless victims were killed, and the Son of Heaven was forced to flee.

Due to the menacing situation, the Liang State Navy did not dare to fight, and the turtle retreated in the inland river to look at the ocean and sigh.

On the seventh day of the first month of March, the naval battle of Guangxin had been ten years, and the battle was still stalemate, and Bailiyan was trapped in Chenling and could not escape, so Jiang Jie went to Guangxin to understand the situation, and at the same time brought more arms.

However, on the ninth day of March, the decisive battle began, and the two detachment fleets of the Xian Army, each with 20 warships, returned to port as scheduled to replenish supplies.

The appearance of forty Xianguo warships disrupted the deployment of the armpits, and launched a breakthrough from behind, causing heavy damage to the back of the armpit fleet, and the armpit fleet was forced to send the main warships to the north to help, Chen Qu took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, biting its main force, and using white phosphorus bombs to attack.

After a fierce battle in the early stage, Chen Qu and others found that the armpit people were indeed unkillable, but if they sank their ships and threw them into the sea, even if they couldn't be killed, as long as they were not fished up, they could drown them.

As soon as this news was transmitted back to Chenling, Bailiyan suddenly discovered that the biggest weakness of the axillary people at this stage was not on land, but on the sea.

In addition, armpit men engaged in broadside warfare is also not advantageous, the navy is equipped with 647 and 648 types of guns, as well as grenade launchers and grenades, while the Xian artillery has a longer range and higher accuracy, and can fire before the armpits.

Within 500 meters, there were not only artillery, but also grenade launchers. Within 60 meters, grenades flew all over the sky, almost like a hedgehog piercing the hand, a strong fortress, killing and injuring its living force in large numbers, even if it could not be killed, blowing up its ship, sinking into the sea, and soaking to death.

After a fierce battle until June 20, the battle situation became clearer, the armpit fleet retreated to the open sea, Chen Qu led the army to pursue the enemy for a day, did not continue to pursue the enemy, gathered the fleet to patrol on the spot, and reported the victory to Guangxin. So far, the first battle of the Guangxin naval battle, which lasted for nearly a month, was won.

"Great victory, great victory, great victory in the naval battle of Guangxin......"

Yan Ping shouted a great victory, and rushed into the state political prison with the good news in his hand.

Unlike Jiang Hai, who was in power, Jiang Yu preferred to work in the state political superintendent, and preferred civil and military officials to work under his nose.

Hearing the news of Guangxin's naval victory, hundreds of officials rushed in, Jiang Yu got up and took the battle report, he still couldn't believe that he had won this battle.

"General Hiko, is the news accurate?"

"Back to the king, the news is true, and Guangxin is a great victory."

Yan Ping replied affirmatively, Jiang Yu immediately opened the good news, and his hands trembled excitedly.

In this battle, 157 armpit warships were sunk, 126 were damaged or seriously wounded, and 37 were captured.

Fifty-two Xian ships were sunk, 43 ships of 10,000 stones, nine ships of 20,000 stones, 31 ships were wounded, none of them were captured, 2,700 men and 29 men were killed, 1,768 were missing, and 8,600 were seriously wounded.

Jiang Yu couldn't hide his excitement and shouted loudly

"Victory, Xianguo wins, widow wins......"

But the next moment Bailiyan said

"Congratulations to the king on his victory in the first battle, but the king must not be complacent, although our army forced the armpit fleet to be retreated with an overwhelming victory, it does not mean that our army has achieved a final victory, and our country has also suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Before the start of the war, our army had a total of 155 warships of 10,000 and 20,000 stones, including 17 that were sunk or sunk in mid-February, and now it has lost 69 warships, of which nine are still 20,000 stone warships.

Another 31 ships have lost their ability to continue fighting, and now only 55 ships are capable of fighting, with losses of 6 out of 5, and the possibility of continuing a decisive battle has been lost in the short term, and even the initiative at sea will be lost for a long time to come.

The armpit people retreated northward, not only because they were shocked by the combat strength of our army, but also because they did not know whether our army still had reinforcements, and they had to make a strategic retreat as a last resort in order to cover their warships. ”

Bai Liyan's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Jiang Yu's head, although he was not happy in his heart, he knew very well that this battle was indeed not easy to come by.

"The widow understands, what is the best way to deal with Dasi Nong next?"

Chen Qu continued to patrol two hundred miles north of Guangxin, wait for the war-damaged ships to be repaired, and return to Hong Kong immediately, and then go to the mouth of the Wangqin River, enter the inland river to be on guard, take turns to strengthen and upgrade, and wear copper and iron armor. At the same time, the minister has ordered to successively recruit Wanshi merchant ships to turn into warships, and go to Yongxing and Dongyuan shipyards to upgrade and renovate warships in order to accumulate strength.

5,000 stone river warships were transferred to Yongxing Shipyard for renovation to make up for the loss of naval combat strength. ”

"Would it be too arbitrary to give up the coast to the armpit man in this way?" Jiang Zhen asked.

The Ninth Town Army is about to be formed, a large number of mines will be laid along the coast, and mines will also be laid along the rivers leading to inland rivers.

In addition, there are countless people with armpit eyes captured this time, and the minister needs to rush to Guangxin immediately to prevent changes. ”

"The widow is allowed to play. The Marquis of Yongxing must be captured alive and taken to the Lingling, and the widow wants to see with his own eyes what these monsters that eat human flesh and drink human blood look like. ”

"The minister does not recommend that he be taken into the capital immediately, these armpit people have a special epidemic and will turn people into monsters, and it is not appropriate to be taken into a crowded place before the minister understands the situation, but the minister will take some photos and videos and present them to the king to read, I don't know what the king wants."

"It's still Yongxinghou thoughtful, so good."

The victory was both expected and unexpected.

The glorious results of two hundred and eighty-three are rare in the entire human calendar, but the Xian army also lost a hundred ships for this, and the Xian army could not afford to fight for it.

It can also be seen in this naval battle that the armpit man was taken by surprise, especially in terms of firepower and rate of fire, he was not the opponent of the Xian army, but the breech guns of both sides had an advantage in terms of range, accuracy, and projectile power, and the rate of fire was basically the same, but the density of firepower was not the opponent of the armpit man at all.

If it had not been for the timely upgrading of naval guns and the equipping of more breech-fired rapid-fire guns, this naval battle would have been much more dangerous, and the Xian army was more conservative and dull in tactics, which also caused certain losses.

The good news quickly spread throughout the palace and then throughout the city under the instruction of King Xian. Knowing that the naval battle was a great victory, Xihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief

"It seems that this palace has to thank Bailiyan."

"Your Highness, this is not the time to be happy." Ji Jinsheng reminded, and then said, "Before the war, there were 155 warships of 10,000 stone and 20,000 stone, but only 55 were left in this battle, and another 31 were damaged.

The minister heard that Bailiyan was going to transfer the water army to retreat to Wangqin Jiangdongyuan County for repair, regroup, and fight again. Therefore, in the short term, there will be no coastal defense in the North Sea, and there is still no room for relaxation. ”

"Is he crazy, what should I do on the coast of Jin Kingdom if he transfers the sea boat!"

"The minister thinks that Bailiyan will never allow the armpit people to land in our Jin country, which is very unfavorable to the Xian country, so although he temporarily retreats to look at the Qinjiang River, the Xian army will not sit back and watch the armpit people advance eastward, and Her Royal Highness the Queen can rest assured.

The most urgent matter at the moment is to mobilize the northern army to move to Jiangdong and respond to contingencies at any time. At the same time, I don't know what the king's plans are, if he continues to hold his troops, I'm afraid it will anger Bailiyan. ”

"Then write a letter immediately to urge, this battle is so dangerous to win, if it is my Jin Kingdom, how to parry."

"The Queen's Wise ......"

Soon after Xihuan got the news, the envoys of various countries received good news one after another, and the responses were very different.

Some people blindly think that the threat of the armpit people is exaggerated, and some people gloat, and Ji Feng's mood is very complicated, he began to worry about Liang Guo, although he has not yet received the news, but the previous urgent report shows that the armpit fleet has reached the coast of Liang State, Xian State is still a tragic victory, how Liang State can protect itself.

At dusk, Bai Liyan called Yongxing City, and informed Yuke of the results and decisions, not long after the naval battle began, Xiao Gongyi was stranded in Yongxing City and was uneasy, he did not expect that the first major battle would break out in Xianguo, but the victory was so tragic.

In one battle, more than half of the most elite warships of the Central Plains Navy were defeated, and the royal guests were still on the way to assemble, so they could not give much support in a short time, and if they could not withstand the invasion at sea, the efforts of the previous ten years would be in vain.

Xiao Gongyi proposed to go to Guangxin for inspection, but was rejected by Bailiyan, and the reason was also very complicated, and it was unclear for a while.

That night, Bai Liyan and Jiang Rong rushed out of the city overnight to Guangxin to deal with the aftermath of the prisoners of war and the losses caused by the naval battle, and at the same time needed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the items captured in the naval battle.

In addition, the vast majority of the captives captured this time were axillary giants, with only a few dwarves, but in addition to this, new breeds were discovered, to be exact, new breeds that had emerged from rapid genetic evolution.

This new breed had not been known to overseas white populations until now, so it was either scarce and rarely seen, or it was a new breed.

This breed is not only about the same height as humans, its eyes are also on the head, but it has a pair of long antennae like ants on its forehead, and the eyesight of the eyes is much worse than other axillary people of the same species but of different kinds, and it requires very thick glass glasses to identify targets, perhaps due to nurture but not ruled out as a congenital defect.
