Chapter 606: Naval Guerrilla Warfare (Part II)

"Your Majesty, there is a fight on Tessie's side. The Great Qin Navy has already set off from its home port of Taranto and headed south. Xu Tianxiang came to Li Xuanqing early in the morning and handed the urgent information he had just received to Li Xuanqing. Because Hu Xiaosi has been busy deploying armed gold to Tianzhu and Nanyang recently, he handed over the power of Xuanyingwei's emergency intelligence disposal to the General Staff.

"The Great Qin Navy has finally been dispatched?" Li Xuanqing was also a little curious about what the outcome of a naval battle before Armageddon would be if a pair of rivals who had never faced each other in this parallel world would have before the Armageddon. But to be honest, from Li Xuanqing's point of view, whether it is the Great Qin Navy or the Great Food Navy, the warships equipped with them are not technically inferior to the Tang Dynasty of the same period. While the Eastern warships had entered the era of watertight compartments and tenons, the Western warships still relied on the use of cowhide strips to tie them. If it weren't for the concept of intentionally transporting watertight compartments to the two countries before, I am afraid that they would not be able to fight at all, and that kind of warship needs to be hit with one shot, even if it is an export artillery, it is enough to send them to the bottom of the sea.

Li Xuanqing indifferently threw the information aside and continued: "Before, you asked Guo Chongtao to give Qu Chengxing an order and assign people to guide the Great Food Navy, where have you reached now?" Don't fail to catch up in time, it will be in vain. Li Xuanqing knew what the General Staff had been thinking recently, and he intervened in the Great Food Navy in the hope that they could drag on for a longer time, so that at least the Grand Canal could be repaired for a longer period of time. However, this delay will not help at all in the record that the more than 200 kilometers of canal there have been built for nearly a decade. In fact, if you do it yourself, it will be difficult to continue to work in the desert area. And after all, it is impossible to send domestic workers to it, and it is not of much use to rely on the various folk husbands brought by the great cannibals to send even the most powerful overseers.

"Don't get your hopes up, the Great Food Empire originally rose from the nomads in the desert area, how could the navy be as strong as the Great Qin Empire, which had dominated the Mediterranean region for nearly a thousand years." When Li Xuanqing said this, in fact, Li Guixin and Wu Sanxing had already seen the little white sails on the distant sea level. However, unlike the two predicted from the north, this naval fleet sailed from near the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

"It looks like they're going to attack tomorrow at most." Li Guixin took a long breath and said, "Have you finished talking about your wolf pack tactics?" I, the death squad, didn't fight hard against these strikers of Daqin. ”

"Captain, please okay, I'll take them out of the harbor tonight, and then try it out early tomorrow morning." Wu Sanxing is also a single at this time, anyway, it is not his own fleet, even if he is defeated, he will pat his ass and leave. But he and Li Guixin are waiting, the total number of warships of the Great Qin Navy is enough for hundreds, even if it is not a one-time sortie, then at least a hundred search warships can still be sent, how to say that it has been dominating the Mediterranean for thousands of years, how can it not save such a small amount of possessions. Therefore, the guerrilla fleet of Wu Sanxing needs to take on the task of dealing with the opponent before the arrival of the opponent's main fleet, and Li Guixin's death-daring tactic is only a one-time and must be launched when the opponent's army gathers.

Li Guixin accompanied Amdullah to sit in Phoenicia City and the rest of the main fleet in a posture of relying on the port forts, but Wu Sanxing took the forward fleet of twenty-three elite warships selected in advance to leave the port at night and then disappeared into the vast sea. For the small-scale fleet of the Great Food Navy to leave the port, the Great Qin Navy on the opposite side did not stop it, on the one hand, even if this small-scale fleet slipped away, it would not matter the overall situation, and secondly, they themselves were not prepared. According to Elidogan's previous deployment, his Eastern Detachment must wait until the Western Detachment arrives before launching an attack at the same time, flanking the Great Food Navy with one left and one right, and finally waiting for the arrival of the main fleet to quickly and completely eliminate the opponent. By the way, even the landing operation can be carried out at the same time.

The Great Qin Navy did not intercept the fleet of Wu San Province, which was tantamount to bringing an unpredictable opponent to itself. Each of the twenty-three warships in Wu San Province has at least two of its own naval officers brought over by themselves, so the degree of cooperation between ship control and cooperation has gradually increased, and the Dashi Navy soldiers selected by themselves are also elite. Therefore, early the next morning, while there was still fog and haze on the sea, Wu Sanxing ordered the three warships to take the lead in attacking while the other party had temporarily docked at sea and had not yet set up a formation. The three warships themselves wanted to attract the other side to send ships out to pursue them, so after reaching the artillery range, the six guns on the three warships fired continuously at the opponent's naval formation, and they didn't care whether they could hit the target or not. Wu Sanxing's purpose was to disrupt the other party's line of sight, so the rumbling cannon quickly woke up the Great Qin Navy. The opponent's subsequent reaction was enough for everyone to see that their tactical literacy was much higher than that of Da Shi. Almost at the same time as being attacked, the sharp sirens began to come out one after another, and the warships on the perimeter of the guard quickly started to force towards the three warships, and the ships of the formation also began to evade according to the methods they had trained on weekdays, and the whole process was almost perfect, and there was no major chaos, and even the warships that were occasionally shot were able to avoid other ships, and all the crews were trying to deal with the damage to the injured warships.

However, the task that Wu Sanxing originally gave to the three warships who went to harass them was to attract the incoming ships to pursue, so when they saw that some ships were chasing after them, they immediately turned around and ran wildly, and they also fired back while running, which was almost a method of attracting firepower, which really made the three warships chase after them. The speed of the wooden galleon in the Mediterranean Sea was not fast at all, and several ships were already traveling in the same direction, so after chasing the distance of five or six miles, the distance between the two sides was still not much different. However, when the several Great Qin warships that were chased out saw that there was no effect and were about to turn around, they found that in the distance, there were Great Food Warships coming from both sides of their own at some time. And the number made them desperate, and the three ships that had fled in front of them turned around again at some point, and the black guns continued to fire as they went. In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, Wu Sanxing transferred the three gunners he brought over to these three forward warships, so the accuracy of their firing was much more accurate than that of the remaining twenty battleships, almost against the opponent's counterattack and continued to advance, and quickly pulled the distance to a distance of more than a mile, six guns quickly spewed out six projectiles, two of which almost hit the Daqin battleship at the front like arrows from the string, and the two shells continued to concentrate on the bow of the ship, directly and completely shattered it, and countless sawdust flew in it, The boiling sea water quickly invaded the ship's hold, and the warship was quickly swallowed by the sea before it had time to react, and the whole process lasted less than a minute.

This scene even made Wu San Province who rushed to the front a little dazed, the warships of the Great Qin Navy seemed to have too poor anti-sinking, but he didn't have time to think about this problem, these battleships that rushed to the front fired at the remaining two Great Qin Navy warships together, and after countless cannonballs rose into the air, this sea area was quickly filled with billowing smoke, two against twenty-three, even if the level was higher than that of the Great Food Navy, they had no power to fight back, and they were soon hit by several shells in a row, and quickly fell silent in this warm sea.

"Blow the trumpet and retreat immediately." Wu Sanxing didn't care to check the results of the battle and immediately ordered to blow the horn to retreat, and according to the plan made before, the three battleships with the gunners of the Tang Navy once again headed head-on towards the Daqin Navy, which had already sent more than ten warships to chase after them, and continued to carry out harassment and fishing tactics, while the other warships fled separately.

This method of luring you to catch up and then disperse their forces, while your own side gathers and waits somewhere ahead, needs to be calculated and carefully arranged. Wu Sanxing spent a lot of effort in order to win the first battle, carefully arranged several ambush sea areas on this sea, arranged his plan in advance, and then dispersed the other party's pursuit force by scattering and escaping, and then used his own preparations, with more than a few, and soon achieved a record here, and the more than ten Daqin Navy warships chased out did not react to Wu Sanxing's tactics, and nearly ten ships were sunk in a row in one morning, and the Dashi Navy basically had no other damage except for sinking one. And in the end, the morale of the Great Food Navy is getting higher and higher, and the Great Qin Navy has almost completely collapsed. Because when you catch up, the other party bullies you too much, and when you retreat, the other party pounces on you like a pack of wolves and bites you, so that you don't know what to do. Rao is Great Qin Navy has great experience in naval warfare, but he was also dizzy, and he didn't know how to deal with it in a short period of time, so he kept losing warships. By the time most of the opposing navy came to respond, more than ten ships had been sunk, and the remaining ones were all wounded and needed to be withdrawn from the battle for rerepair. This scene almost made the opposing admiral grit his teeth, but he could only withdraw his troops in a huff.

However, Wu Sanxing did not have time to celebrate the success at this time, and took the fleet to move westward overnight. He and Li Guixin jointly speculated that since the Great Qin Navy could send a fleet along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, there would also be a detachment in the west that was not inferior in size to the east. Only in this way can we encircle on three sides and completely encircle the Great Food Navy in the port of Phoenicia, and succeed in the first battle. So he had to rush over in advance, find a way to sneak attack again on the way, and interpret the wolf pack tactics to the extreme. For this reason, Li Guixin almost immediately asked Amdullah to arrange for people to prepare supplies and ammunition at a small port in the west almost as soon as Wu San Province led the troops to start at sea, so that the forward fleet could dock and replenish at any time.

In the next few days, when Li Guixin ordered all the main fleets of all ports to rely on numerical superiority to repel several attacks by the remaining 20 or so Great Qin Eastern Fleet, Wu San Province also achieved brilliant results in the west, and the unprepared Great Qin Navy was not prepared at all in the face of this almost rogue tactic, and was still immersed in the previous formal naval combat experience and could not extricate itself, and was suddenly sunk by the other side in this kind of harassing attack and counterattack in a battle with more than 10 warships.

That is to say, when the main elite of the Great Qin Navy had not yet arrived in the port of Phoenicia, Wu Sanxing and Li Guixin had basically destroyed more than 20 warships of the other side, which was equivalent to the number of ships of the opponent's fleet. What's more, this kind of continuous victory, which brought high morale to the Great Food Navy, also made the other party fall into a kind of confusion and confusion, and did not know what to do to deal with it. In desperation, the commanders of the eastern and western fleets coincidentally adopted the same method to deal with it, concentrating all the main warships, forming a tight array and then moving forward. In this way, although Wu San Province has not been able to achieve big results, it has become more unscrupulous, and the other party will not be able to move forward at full speed if all the warships are lined up, and they still need to be closely connected with each other, so compared with the forward fleet of the Great Food Empire that does not need to be formed alone, although it avoids being tricked by the other party, but it also has no active confrontation against this kind of mosquito harassment. However, fortunately, the distance between the Western Detachment and the port of Phoenicia was not far away, and relying on this method of marching in battle, the two fleets were finally united on the first day of the fifth month of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse. It's just that the two main generals look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads speechlessly, in addition to being harassed and sneak attacked, more than 20 warships were killed, and more importantly, the task assigned by Eridogan didn't seem to have been completed. But now they have no good way, so they have to block the port of Phoenicia on the one hand and prevent the Great Food Navy from escaping on a large scale, and at the same time send clippers to inform Eridogan to lead the main fleet to join as soon as possible.

"Haha, you kid can do it, this guerrilla war is better than mine, I'll report to the general department to transfer you out of the staff office when I go back, how good it is to be in charge of a ship alone." Li Guixin laughed when he saw Wu Sanxing, and he did not hesitate to praise the young man who played so well in this desperate situation.

"Don't boast, Captain. That's all we can achieve. "Wu Sanxing had previously hidden the forward fleet in the small port that had been arranged and fed before, and he rushed back with all the rest of the accompanying advisory group to join Li Guixin. So he said with a bitter face: "Calculate the time, the main force of the other party is almost there, listening to the meaning of the dark guard, it is not the opponent we are facing now, the head is rigid, and I don't know how to be flexible." I'm afraid that the wolf pack tactics will be countered by the other party, and the tactical literacy of the Great Food Navy itself is worse than that of the other party, and once the tactics are countered, then it will definitely collapse quickly. At that time, the morale we have accumulated will also be completely depressed. ”

"So you mean an early decisive battle?" Li Guixin glanced at Wu Sansheng and shook his head and said, "What you said is true, but you have to understand that even if we wipe out all the left and right fleets of the Great Qin Navy, as long as the main force of the other party is not damaged, then it will actually have no effect at all." The destruction of the two sub-fleets on the left and right was not a big loss for the overall strength of the other side's navy. So since we are here, let's find a way to make a big vote and surprise the Great Qin Navy. In this way, even if all the big food navy is eliminated, I don't think Amdullah will feel distressed. Li Guixin's words made Wu Sanxing's frowning brows furrow even tighter, but then he said, "So the captain means that we wait?" ”

"You think the other party isn't waiting?" Li Guixin smiled, but there was a bit of an unfathomable feeling. (https:)
