Chapter 82: It's as fast as the wind
The Terrans set out from Hong Kong and sailed to Sheai Harbor in an ironclad ship, robbing families and houses along the way, not to mention sea ships, even the weak islands. The fish-man never dreamed that someone would dare to "mess around in his own backyard".
Players in Hong Kong didn't expect that what you said was urgent, it was this kind of urgency, shouldn't you go straight to the goal?
You have smashed and looted along the way, hundreds of warships have been sunk, and there are more than a dozen cargo ships loaded with plundered materials, are you really in a hurry?
"The Terrans are bullying the fish too much, we have to give them some color!"
The fish emperor can't bear it, and he doesn't need to endure it anymore.
The fishmen began to assemble a navy in a vain attempt to intercept Li Youqian's team on the sea. This kind of fearless spirit of not being afraid of death is tantamount to Wu Dalang punching Ximen Qing, and he didn't get anything and asked for his own life.
People are adrift at sea and have what to eat, not to mention picky eaters, some of them are good to eat. If you look at Li Youqian's team, there are so many looted materials that you can't put them down, and every day there is good wine, good meat, good food and drink.
This is a battle, this is a vacation at all.
Players in Hong Kong have found that life on board is even better than on land.
The crazy counterattack of the fish people finally provoked Li Youqian's 'anger'! He wants the fishmen to pay for their blood debts!
Players in Hong Kong looked at the vigorous appearance of the Red Reserve team members, and they really couldn't understand the meaning of blood debt and blood repayment. But I've been rich with Li for a long time, and I'm used to it.
Their emperor, when he was outside, ran the train with his mouth full of words, and did not tell the truth.
Li Youqian intensified his efforts and began to carry out a "surgical purge". Along the way, he sank more than 160 warships and supply ships of the Fishmen, and then rushed into Lanwei Harbor, one of the three major ports of the Fishmen, and sank 72 Fish-Man ships.
As the saying goes, can't I hide if I can't be provoked? It's okay if you bully the fish on the sea, people have hid in the sea and refuse to let go.
The Fish-Man Navy was beaten by Li Youqian and suffered unspeakably. The fish people had no idea where Li Youqian was going to fight.
Lee's rich fleet was like a hurricane, galloping in and out. Its swift strategy was taken to the extreme by Li Youqian's fleet.
He is like a gust of wind, and when he blows, he leaves, and no one can do anything about such a rhythm.
"We can't indulge any longer, we must crush the navy of the Terrans, otherwise our entire Fish-People will completely lose their supremacy at sea, and our Fish-People will be finished."
The Fish Emperor felt so tired, the human race that appeared inexplicably, the younger brother who was missing, and the child who refused to be born for a long time, all of which upset him.
"Your Majesty, judging from the location of the Terran's plunder, the Terran's next target is most likely to be in the Snake Harbor. We can ambush heavy troops and defeat the Terran navy in the Lisi Strait, the only place we must pass. ”
"Good! Mobilize all the navies that can be mobilized, and we will destroy the enemy once and for all. ”
"Subordinates obey."
The Fish-Man Navy organized the largest naval warforce in history to stop Li Youqian's advance.
There were 137 large warships, 421 medium-sized warships, and countless small warships, and roughly estimated to be more than 1,000 ships.
As for the Terrans, there are only twenty ironclad ships.
On the morning of the third day of the limited day, twenty ironclad ships of the Terran fleet and twenty transport ships of the plundering fishmen sailed into the Lisi Strait.
On this day, the wind was sunny and sunny, and Li Youqian was chatting with Nina and Constany about little secrets that were not suitable for children.
The tall and thin knight knocked on Li Youqian's door very inopportunely.
"Boss, come to life. This deal is a bit big, we can't take it? ”
Li Youqian looked displeased, got up, changed his clothes, and climbed to the lookout.
The Lisi Strait is a narrow stretch of strait that can be passed through a small area. For the current Terrans, it is a very undesirable place to fight.
At the end of the strait, huge fish-man warships lined up, blocking the direction of the Terrans.
At this time, the fish-man warships were still mainly old-fashioned building ships, which were very large in addition to sailors, but also filled with infantry, and the firepower was mainly based on heavy crossbow arrows.
For tens of thousands of years, the fish-man has won countless naval battles with this tactic, and no more agile sailor in the world is than the fish-man on the water.
Behind the Lixi Strait, countless medium-sized sea ships and small sea ships of the Fish Clan are approaching, looking at this posture, it is intended to completely surround the Terran Navy.
Fight, or withdraw? A decision must be made immediately.
Li Youqian looked at the sea and was a little distracted, with his usual style (cheap), he should retreat without hesitation.
But this time, I don't know why, he wants to give it a try and give it a try.
Don't look at the number of merfolk armies, so what? No matter how much fish there is, it is still a fish, and it can't taste like a toad.
"We count the brothers in Hong Kong and there are 4,000 people, and the fish people are more than 100,000 people. I'm going to wipe them all out, what do you think! ”
"Well, listen to you, all hands are ready for battle."
"Friends in Hong Kong, don't worry, our Red Reserve will easily and happily destroy 200,000 enemy troops with one enemy and 100,000 Red Reserve troops."
Players in Hong Kong are bleeding from their hearts at this time. Is your math taught by your Chinese teacher? I don't know who is big and who is small, and I can't see it with my eyes?
Easy your uncle, happy your sister, you are unreliable!
Li Youqian arranged twenty supply ships of the Fishmen in a longitudinal row to block the enemy's follow-up troops.
The twenty ironclad ships in front rushed towards the large warship of the fish-man at full speed.
Compared with the backwardness of the fishmen, the players in the Chinese region have adopted more advanced tactics, and as players who have experienced the changes of the times, their understanding of naval warfare is not at all comparable to that of the fishmen who have muscles in their heads.
Players in the China region paid more attention to the suppression of firepower, and fundamentally abandoned the backward method of "sequestership", in the words of Li Youqian: "The affairs of the sea should be solved by the ship, and it has nothing to do with the infantry." ”
In terms of firepower, ironclad ships use red-coated cannons to be arranged on both sides, and "column tactics" are used in battle, so that the ships are arranged from end to end and bombarded with gunwales. The Red Reserve stood on the boats and fired with arquebuses at enemies who fell overboard or tried to get close.
Twenty ironclad ships were shot in a row, arranged longitudinally, and the muzzles were aimed at the large warships of the fishmen, and they opened fire.
The fishmen's giant crossbows had not yet reached their farthest range, and the Terran shells hit first.
The cannon roared, and the wooden fish-man warship was heavily damaged.
The Fish-Man Commander grossly underestimated the range of human weapons, and suffered a big loss as soon as the war began.
"Whole army, raid, rush over, sink them!"
One hundred and thirty-seven large warships advanced under the fire of the Terrans.
Terran artillery didn't have much interest in fishmen, and their attack points were mostly concentrated in the mainsail or the lower half of the ship.
A large fish-man warship was shot and its cabin flooded. More than a dozen fishmen hurriedly ran over to mend and mend and pour water.
The fishmen were busy, and another cannonball was hitting the same position impartially, and more than a dozen fishmen were killed and wounded. The leak in the cabin widened, and cracks appeared in the bottom of the ship.
The ship is sinking, and if it is not rescued, it will be a matter of time before it sinks.
A new group of fishmen prepares to come to the rescue, and another cannonball blasts in, putting the already dangerous large warship even more precarious.
There were already four cabins underneath that were extensively damaged, and the bottom of the ship was leaking.
Fish-people are fish-people, not fish, they can be active underwater for a long time, but they can't be underwater all the time without coming out.
The captain sighed and ordered, and all the crew abandoned the ship and took refuge on a nearby ship.
In the fifth minute of the Battle of Lixi, seventeen large warships of the Fish-People sank.
