Chapter Ninety-Three: The Solution

"It seems that this is indeed the case...... the man in white agreed with a smile, but he still had some doubts in his heart - with a person like the man in Tsing Yi who only focuses on what is in front of him, can he really formulate a serial plan to completely kill Li Zhen? Isn't this their own fantasy?

No, probably not.

The man in white subconsciously rejected this conjecture - maybe the man in Tsing Yi is indeed short-sighted and not long-term enough, but he is not the only one involved in this matter, but the alliance of major forces, so many forces are united, and there may not be no long-term visions among them, so the plan they formulated should still be very reliable.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's play another game, this time I will definitely not ...... Eh, it's almost here, it's really a disappointment. The man in Tsing Yi put away the chessboard and suddenly looked up, only to find that his fleet was less than fifteen kilometers away from Coconut Harbor, and this had already entered the range of most coastal defense guns, and even some small-caliber cannons could reach this range.

Therefore, as his fleet approached closer and closer, the cannons in Coconut Harbor gradually intensified, and more and more shore defense guns began to join the battlefield, and correspondingly, the number of their ships lost more and more - although most of the cannons were not as powerful as the 'greedy wolf' cannons, but this was a cannonball after all, and the ships of the Tsing Yi people were all wooden, and one shot may not sink a ship, but a larger number could also send the enemy's ship to the bottom of the sea.

"We've got to figure out a way, the enemy's shelling is too heavy." Seeing this, the man in white flashed a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and almost in the blink of an eye, he saw with his own eyes that at least two ships were being shot and sinking, and the flames almost completely covered the entire hull, according to the concentration of the flames, there should be no living people on the ship.

How many people must have died?

At least a hundred people on each ship, that's already two hundred lives, and if it's a troop carrier, the number will be four or five times more - naval battles are so cruel, either you don't die, or you die a ship.

"There is no way, the range of our shells is still too close, now we can only rush forward desperately, and when we reach our range, everything will be easy to say." The people in Tsing Yi don't care.

First of all, most of the sunken ships and dead people in this did not belong to the royal merchant group, and it was not his turn to feel distressed if they died, and even he wished that those people would die more, and it was best to die all of them, so that in the next plunder, no one would rob him. Secondly, as he said, the cannons they are equipped with are all obtained from a mysterious factory, in addition to the shells are more floating, the serious lack of range is also another shortcoming, this is really no way, the best way is to continue to charge, and when they reach the range of their cannons, it will be easy to do, at least they can fight back and forth, so that they can only be blown up and killed like now.

"Woo woo woo~"

"Boom Boom Boom~"

While the two were talking, five more ships were sunk, and there were more than a dozen ships filled with fire, and the smoke had covered a third of the hull, obviously helpless, countless crew members were jumping from the sea, and desperately swimming far away, otherwise once the ship sank, the terrifying suction would suck everything nearby to the bottom of the sea.

Inside Coconut Harbor, in Sima Cuo's temporary headquarters, everyone was listening to the staff officer's report on the results of the battle and deducing the next battle situation.

A person dressed as a staff officer was reporting the situation: "At present, all the artillery on the shore defense batteries have been fired, from the time the greedy wolf cannon was fired to the present, a total of 191 enemy ships have been sunk, and there are also about a number of enemy ships are also injured, it should be impossible to participate in this battle, but the enemy ships are too many, although nearly 400 ships have been lost, but there are still about this number, that is, there are about 400 enemy ships rushing to the port." ”

"Most of these enemy ships that rushed in seemed to be warships, and they were all equipped with portholes, and it seems that Lieutenant Li Liangdu's inference should be correct, the enemy warships are really equipped with artillery...... Although our guns have not yet been lost, if we calculate the probability, when the enemy ships rush in, at least half of the ships will remain. ”

"In addition, according to the information detected by the Marine Corps scouts we sent before, the troop carriers currently mixed in their warship group are not all of their troop carriers, and there are many more troop carriers outside of our field of vision. At present, according to the inference of our general staff, they should be planning to play a trick of foolishness, the troop carriers in front are a cover to reduce our vigilance, and their real troop carriers are hidden behind, intending to wait for all the batteries to be destroyed, and at this critical time, they will give us a surprise and break our will psychologically. ”

Sima Coo nodded, and did not make his own judgment on the staff officer's explanation, but continued to ask: "Then according to your inference, what is the way to break this move?" Now the only thing we can rely on is the coastal defense batteries, and our army and marines are very short of ammunition, and if we are close to each other, the losses will be very large. In this case, even if the shore defense battery sinks one more enemy warship, it can relieve us a lot of pressure in the next hand-to-hand battle...... In response to this, your staff should have a corresponding response method, right? ”

"Yes." The staff officer did not sell the matter, and immediately took out the handling advice given by the general staff: "According to the inference of our general staff, the enemy is now very eager to enter the port, because only in this way can they engage our batteries as quickly as possible, and clear our batteries as quickly as possible, so as to provide conditions for the next close combat."

Therefore, the opinion of our staff is that the more anxious the enemy is, the more we will not be able to let their wishes come true, and it would be great if we could delay the speed of the enemy ships, so that not only can we prolong their landing time, but also use the batteries to kill and injure more of their living forces, and reduce the subsequent attrition......"

"Slow them down......" Sima Cuo nodded slowly, and then turned back and asked, "This is indeed a good way...... Do you have any ideas? ”

The staff officers only propose solutions, or they only give directions to solve the problem, but how to do it to achieve this goal still needs Sima Cuo to find a way to solve it.
