Chapter 601: Naval Battle
Except for a few, no one knew about the departure of the fleet.
This was to guard against the elaborate work of the two dynasties.
Don't think that only Cangguo will send spies to other dynasties, in fact, the other two dynasties have also arranged a large number of people to lurk in the territory of Dacang, and they will go back to report as soon as there is a disturbance.
Although, even if these details were to run back and report immediately, they would not have much impact on this attack on the Datong Dynasty, but in this way, maybe the Daqing Dynasty would get the news in advance.
The later you know, the better.
After all, as a great dynasty, two or three years have passed, and the losses of the last invasion of the Dacang Dynasty have almost been made up, if there is time to arrange it with high vigilance, it will be much more difficult for him to attack the Dacang army in the future.
In March, the three fleets landed in the Datong Dynasty, and with the maps drawn up by the Jinyiwei agents for several years as a reference, the three fleets officially took root on some islands off the coast.
At the same time, there are also huge ships on the mainland of Dacang, carrying supplies and supplies, going back and forth between the coasts.
In the case of inconvenient transportation, the transportation of materials is a major problem, sea transportation is definitely more cost-effective than land transportation, the three fleets are like the navy of the Datong Dynasty three years ago, the cost is extremely low, but it can cause great trouble to the Datong Dynasty.
After successfully setting the base, the three fleets did not rush to attack the coastal cities, because the purpose of the navy was not to land operations, once they landed on land, the advantage was gone, no matter how advanced the equipment was, the three fleets were not arrogant enough to think that with more than 100,000 people, they could attack cities and plunder land in the interior of the Datong Dynasty.
Some large islands were selected, and the three major fleets built some naval bases, which in the future were the forward bases for the Great Unification Dynasty, as a springboard for attack, unsinkable giant ships.
The sea and the sky meet, and the fog is thick.
A large ship docked in the harbor, the sky was slightly bright, and there was still a long time before the sailors and soldiers practiced, and the harbor was silent, only a few soldiers stood guard on the lighthouse, listlessly coping with their errands.
For the sailors, except for the serious war of raiding the Dacang coast a few years ago, the sailors have not fought a real war for a long time, even when they captured the Dahong Dynasty, they also undertook more tasks of sending grain and grass to each other.
As for normal times, it is generally a fight against water bandits and pirates.
For the imperial court, the actual role was not very large.
"Buzz—"
A deep voice rang out, as if there was nothing.
An older soldier awoke from his slumber, frowned, and then shook his head in disbelief and looked out to sea.
Unfortunately, the thick fog obscured the view, and only the sound could be faintly heard.
Could it be that there are some giant beasts?
The soldier yawned and shook his head, shocked by his own thoughts, and felt a little ridiculous.
There are some giant beasts in the sea, but at most there are some white sharks and the like, and I have never heard of any giant beast in the sea that can make such a sound.
However, this sound is real, and it feels very strong, and it should not be an illusion.
He touched another companion who had been standing guard and patrolling.
The latter opened his eyes slowly, and his expression became strange as he followed.
For a moment, the two woke up the others.
Everyone, looking along the surface of the sea, seems to have a special pair of eyes that can see through the thick fog.
"No, this voice is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere."
It was an old man who spoke, frowning as if thinking about something.
“……”
When the rest of the people heard this, they looked at him.
Among the sailors, experience is very important, even more important than the army, and many times the veterans rely on experience to survive in the vast sea.
"That's right! Last time we were in Dacang......"
The old pawn's words came to an abrupt end, and his face showed an incredible look, and a touch of fear and panic rose.
How can it be!
He clearly remembered that when his sailor plundered the coast of Dacang, he was pursued by Dacang's fleet, which was a painful experience, although there were not many ships in the Dacang Dynasty, but the ships and guns made the sailors of the Datong Dynasty suffer heavy losses, and finally fled in several directions, only to save a few bow ships.
He was one of the few who survived.
The tragic past came to mind one by one, and the unique humming sound of the ships of the Great Cang Dynasty sounded again.
"Quick! Light the lighthouse bonfire and ring gold! ”
After a brief loss of consciousness, the old pawn only felt a chill on his back and screamed in horror.
The robes around them all reacted, and although they didn't know what was going on, they did it anyway.
"Bell-"
The sound of gongs and drums resounded across the coast, followed by bonfires.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
Almost at the same time as the warning signal was issued, the sound of artillery bombardment shook the heavens and the earth, the coast shook, and the barracks were reduced to a sea of fire.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
The hundred-year-old military port, in the sound of artillery fire like God's punishment from heaven, suddenly collapsed and became history.
This battle shook the entire Datong Dynasty.
For many years, the homeland of the Great Unification Dynasty has not been invaded by foreign enemies for a long time.
Moreover, this invasion is still from the sea!
It's incredible!
You must know that the threat has always come from the land, so the cities along the coast have no fortifications at all, and there are no important passes to defend!
The news quickly spread to Kyoto, and more than half a month passed, the exchange of information was slow, and several military ports were reduced to ruins and turned into ashes.
……
Half a month later, the Datong Dynasty finally discovered the traces of one of the fleets of the Dacang Navy on an island, and sent sailors to attack in an attempt to recapture the island.
The mighty army and huge ships overwhelmed the territory, but they were destroyed one by one by the ship's artillery.
After several encounters, the sailors of the Datong Dynasty suffered heavy losses, as long as the ships encountered with the three major fleets, almost none survived, and one after another sailors were wiped out.
In this regard, the navy of the Dacang Dynasty was excited one by one.
Three years ago, the coastal area of Dacang was ravaged by sailors, and the people suffered greatly, and it has always been regarded as a great shame.
Now, it's finally time to raise your eyebrows!
The difference is that the discipline of the three fleets is very good, and they do not rely on armed landings to plunder the coastal people, but only consolidate the bases, and from time to time sneak attack the naval division station, paralyzing the navy of the Great Unification Dynasty.
If this continues, in a few months, the naval divisions of the Datong Dynasty will be completely wiped out and cease to exist!
