The Wang Hua incident did not make any waves, the Wang family has a good reputation in Jixiang, and even the second princess who is not welcomed can be benevolent and righteous, not to mention others.

After a few days at the transit station, Da Gaoqiang arrived in Jixiang at the end of February.

Due to the tense war in the north, the Hu Yue people have been compressed around Xingfeng City, even if there are still dozens of cities in the west holding on, there is no hope in sight.

Lonely city, lonely army, as long as the people of color eyes block the city gate, the defenders are turtles in the urn.

Without the grassland, there is no room for horses to gallop, and the cavalry that enters the city is like an eagle with folded wings, waiting to die.

Cole turned gray at this.

The princes and ministers in the city, trust the relationship, find the way to find the way, as long as the money can be spent, no one cares whether it is the right person or not.

Every time auspicious reinforcements go north, they can bring back half a boat of Hu Yue's high-level officials, either family members, relatives and friends, and of course, a lot of wealth.

Cole could only turn a blind eye to this matter, he had his own considerations.

If the city is finally broken, it is better to cheapen the mascot than to cheapen the color people.

If it is finally kept, the wealth that fled from the country will still have to be returned.

In either case, it's much better than the current scruple and infighting.

At the moment of the great enemy, he can no longer ask for more from Jixiang.

Jixiang has successively sent nearly 8,000 people, and Great Xia also has 3,000 leading troops stationed under Xingfeng City.

But he did not move any of these soldiers.

I don't know if there was an agreement, or if it was tacitly understood, the reinforcements of Jixiang and Daxia only did the errand of defending the city, and never took the initiative to fight with the Semu people.

Jixiang is worried about increasing casualties, and Daxia can't beat people at all.

Hu Yue still has cavalry that can rush down the battle and gamble on luck, can the people of Daxia rely on two legs to compare the speed with their guns? No one is stupid.

Cole naturally understood the intentions of the two support forces, but there was nothing he could do.

However, auspiciousness is better than Great Xia.

In addition to the number of enemies defending the city far exceeding the Xia army, sometimes when they get information, they will take the initiative to sneak attack, and the miscellaneous gains add up, which is not a small number, which makes the face of the Great Xia people very ugly, but they are helpless.

Eventually, Cole asked Jixiang for help again.

This time, I want the navy, to be precise, I want the river fleet of Bactria to come to support.

Xingfeng City is a border city across the North Xingyao River, it can be said that when Hu Yue was weak, it was built with the strength of the whole country, which is very majestic.

Later, Hu Yue became powerful, and the only role of Xingfeng City was to serve as a front-line military camp, and then as a transit point for north-south trade, pumping some oil and water.

Unexpectedly, the world has changed over time, but this city has now become the last straw that Hu Yue people can grasp, which is really a trick.

Due to the special structure of this city across the Xingyao River, it is natural for the ships of the Semu people to reach the north of the city, or even sail into the city.

Under the bombardment of many powerful naval guns, Cole didn't think that the old city of decades ago could withstand it, so he hoped that the auspicious super battleship would come to help and protect the Star Peak City.

If Xingfeng City is defended, even if Hu Yue is defended, the rule of the royal family will be continued.

Therefore, Da Gaoqiang did not stay long in Jixiang, and after taking a ten-day vacation, he was ordered by the king to lead ten Type II river warships to the north.

Among them, there were two steam ironclads, with the paddle wheel canceled and powered by steam engines.

Especially at night, when the lights of the whole ship were shining, it shocked many people in Great Xia.

"This is auspiciousness, this is the auspiciousness you want to know!"

"This ship is really mighty, I heard that it is all made of iron lumps, why doesn't it sink?"

"You don't know this, people have a research institute in Jixiang, and King Jixiang allocates a huge amount of money to them every year to do research, and he is amazing. ”

"Hey, don't we have any weapons supervisors in Daxia?"

"Fuck the weapons superintendent, it's all moths, all fat heads and big ears, and they almost stick two green onions in their noses. ”

Because Jixiang took revenge on Great Xia and took the initiative to suspend his troops after obtaining the land of the Seven Territories, the relationship between the two sides can be regarded as in a cooling-off period of armistice.

Moreover, the auspicious people have never been angry with the people's past, so the people of Daxia are not worried about their own safety, and they are pointing at the two ironclad ships around the river, their eyes full of envy.

Then he buried his own ordnance supervisor.

In the end, the goods have to be thrown away, and people have to die compared to people.

The high-strength inland river fleet has earned enough eyeballs and celebrity addiction along the way, and has passed thousands of empty alleys, just to see the magical light show.

With two steam-powered ships on board, the remaining eight conventionally powered ships were led forward, and the speed was much faster, arriving at Starpeak City on March 18.

On March 20, the small gunboat of the Semu people came to provoke, and the people of Daxia were silent, with a posture that they had nothing to do with themselves, which made Colonel Qin want to go up and slap him a few times.

Hu Yueren himself is even more unbearable.

After fighting for so many rounds, the best record was to flee quickly, and after nearly half of the casualties were left the battlefield.

Now that he is in the city, there is no place to escape, so he also pretended to be his grandson.

Da Xia and Hu Yue were silent, and Qin Xiaoxiao naturally didn't go to be the bird that came out, so he did the same and pretended to be a stuffy gourd.

These people have reasons not to be in a hurry, but Cole, who is the king of Hu Yue, is not good, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

If you can't dampen the opponent's spirit this time and let it do it, after only three or two provocations, your own morale will inevitably collapse, and then it will be too late.

As a last resort, he had to beg for Da Gaoqiang, who had just arrived for two days.

"Commander Da, the people with lustful eyes are rampant, and a few gunboats dare to come to show off their might, are they really deceiving me that there is no one to shine in the stars? If this goes on for a long time, how can our tripartite alliance still have any face-stodian scientific research, let alone stabilize the morale of the army. ”

The agitation method is useless to Da Gaoqiang, but thinking about His Majesty's explanation, he also responded, which made the people present breathe a sigh of relief.

March 21, overcast.

As soon as the day dawned, the two ironclad ships rushed out through the open water gate, and the billowing smoke from the chimney was even more provocative to the other.

On the city wall, everyone ignored the smoke and squeezed the palm-sized place to the ground.

"Look, both sides are within range of each other, but neither has fired the first shot. ”

Someone held up a double telescope of auspicious birth and shouted.

"Hey, two against six, there's not much chance of winning. "This is the general of Great Xia.

Colonel Qin was silent and waited to see what happened.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that he is about to break down, this is to resist the impact of the current, maintain the best distance and shooting posture.

"Look, the mascot's ironclad ship has stopped, and they are actually changing direction, crossing the middle of the waterway and dropping anchor?"

According to common sense, if one side of the battle breaks anchor, it becomes a fixed target, which is no different from sending him to death.

That's why so many people in the city were surprised, thinking that the coach was either a fool who didn't know anything, or he was too confident, and when the strength was not much different, it was two against six, and he was so rampant, how could he be undefeated?

In the midst of everyone's belly, the lustful man fired the cannon first.

At present, the distance between the two sides is only more than 1,000 meters, which is the distance when the artillery shells are at their most powerful.

When the roar reached everyone's ears, layers of water curtains were raised around the two ironclad ships.

Some shells hit the side of the ship and even the superstructure, and there was a shrill dull sound, and the sharp-eyed could see the scene of sparks, which was unheard of.

The two ironclad ships did not return fire, but they saw that the three two-mounted naval guns on the deck began to rotate, measure the range, and aim.

This process did not last long, it happened to be the time of the first round of shooting, so there were a few more scars on the two battleships.

"Why don't you fight back, is the captain scared stupid?"

"The auspicious sailor turned out to be so powerful, and I have seen it for a long time. ”

"Hmph, I'm ashamed to be with you. ”

After everyone saw that after several rounds of beatings, the mascot still did not react, and immediately despised it, thinking that the auspicious water army was nothing more than this, and there was no way to deal with it for so long, which was simply an insult to the water army.

In the crowd deep in Qin Xiaoxiao, those people not only spoke more and more unscrupulously, but also glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were deliberately speaking to him.

What Qin Xiaoxiao thinks in his heart is unknown to others, but it does not prevent them from being self-righteous and self-congratulatory.

Fortunately, after the fourth round of attacks by the Semu people, the two auspicious ironclad ships were finally ready to prepare, and they saw that the entire hull of the ship leaned back sharply, and a string of flames burst out on the right side, and a deafening sound was heard.

Then the entire hull of the ship moved back a few meters before it barely stopped, shaking incessantly.

Before everyone on the city wall could share their feelings, the two gunboats in front of them were instantly shattered, the superstructure was almost completely destroyed, and the remaining half began to burn.

Everyone was stunned.

The two ironclads didn't have time to pay attention to their feelings, and before the next wave of attacks from the Seemuns, they opened fire again.

This time the shell passed over the wooden warships that were still burning in front and hit the two in the middle.

Not surprisingly, the two wooden warships also followed in their footsteps, burning even more fiercely.

At this time, the eyes of everyone on the city wall were so wide that they forgot to breathe.

After reacting, the fear of auspiciousness is even worse, and I can't wait to get on the ship now, disassemble it and study it.

If you also have this kind of warship, wouldn't it be a higher level?

Regardless of everyone's reactions, Qin Xiaoxiao leisurely put away the quadruple binoculars and began to appreciate their demeanor, which was still the kind without scruples.

People are ashamed, and some people begin to change the direction of the wind to praise the mascot for his calmness, but they are drowned out by the sound of the third wave of counterattacks.

Sure enough, the remaining two Semu battleships were hit by several cannons and began to disintegrate, even if the mascot did not pursue and no longer shelled, it was doomed to sink.

Three rounds, thirty-six shells, sank six enemy ships, and slightly wounded themselves.

This record ......

"Two to six, after three rounds, all six enemy ships were annihilated, and they were only slightly injured, and this battleship still can't work, it's not good!"

As Colonel Qin spoke, he went down to the city, and everyone took the initiative to give way to the passage.

When he went downstairs, he said that the people who were still on the city wall were embarrassed and faceless, and they wanted to explain but could not find a target;

This time, Hu Yue's cavalry was good, and before the opponent's infantry came up, they wiped out all the people who fell into the water, a full hundred people, judging from the war history of both sides, it was undoubtedly a great victory.

When the cavalry raised the head of the colored-eyed man and entered the city with his head held high, it attracted the praise of the whole city, and the epic scene of the triumph of the expedition moved the world.

That night, King Hu Yue feasted his ministers.

The wine exchanged for some cattle and sheep seemed to be like no money, and the boxes were moved up one by one, and even Junior Colonel Qin was stunned.

"This is the day when my Hu Yue raised my eyebrows, thank you for the auspicious allies, thank you for the allies of Daxia, and thank me Hu Yue boy, this king respects you!"

Cole is full of pride, and after he has achieved fame, he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds.

The princes and nobles of the Great Xia people and Hu Yue are really open, talking about drinking and drinking, and eating when they say, as if they have really driven away the Semu people, and Xingyao has returned to everyone.

Subsequently, everyone complimented Qida Gaoqiang and Qin Xiaoxiao, praising them as the world's prodigies in the mainland, who have never been seen before or since, and the numbness of the flesh made the parties have goosebumps.

The two had to follow the local customs, make a show, and socialize for the sake of entertainment.

They couldn't see this kind of scene, but they felt deeply bored.

Even so, they still have to cooperate well, and they will not be able to withdraw from Hu Yue until the three armies of Jixiang have been fighting in turn.

Therefore, the relationship that should be maintained must still be maintained, and the drama that should be acted must not be left behind.
