The next day's round of artillery battles resulted in the sinking of one of the Soochow gunboats, two of which were lying on their stomachs, and the remaining five were injured and fled in a hurry and withdrew from the range of fire ~ artillery.

Of course, there was also a little damage on the side of the Jingzhou naval army, but basically the result of the artillery battle was similar to the first day, only a few solid bullets were smashed on a few battleships, individual crew members were injured, and individual superstructures were damaged, and such losses were almost negligible.

There is no way, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, the Dongwu gunboats can only fire ~ 80 shells at a time, while the Jingzhou battleship is 540, and the launch speed of the rockets is much faster than the fire ~ artillery, the rockets are fired three rounds, and the fire ~ artillery only has time to fight two rounds.

So, when the Jingzhou battleship fired 1,620 rockets, the Soochow gunboat fired only 160 shells.

The difference in the number of shells fired by the two sides was an order of magnitude, and the disparity in results was not surprising.

The superiority of cement warships also played an important role.

This kind of large warship generally has many layers, and the floor slab between each layer is also made of wire cement, although the solid bullet of Soochow has a lot of kinetic energy, but it can't break these cement slabs, even if it can smash a layer of cement slabs, but there are N layers of cement slabs when it reaches the bottom of the ship.

Therefore, these shells can only cause a very small amount of damage, and they will not play a role in sinking the battleship at all.

And those local injuries are also very easy to repair, just find a craftsman to connect the notched barbed wire, then use a few wooden planks to make the shape of the defect, and finally pour cement.

As soon as the fighting stopped, the restoration work could begin, and the army was accompanied by craftsmen, and the restoration work was quick and easy to complete on the same day.

The ship did not need to be towed to the dock for repairs, or even to leave the battlefield.

The wounded ships can still participate in the next battle in the battle sequence, as long as the casualties are replenished, this slight damage will not have the slightest impact on the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou naval army.

The Soochow Navy withdrew from the battle, and across a reef belt, the Jingzhou Navy could not pursue, so the twelve warships had to stop the shelling and quietly stop at the edge of the reef area to be on guard.

The boats stepped up their work to clear the nets as much as possible.

The situation on the second day of the battle was basically similar to the first day, with the Soochow Navy also breaking out and then ending with the same anticlimactic tail.

For the rest of the day, the entire battlefield was quiet, and there were no more clashes, leaving only the boats of the Jingzhou Navy Army quietly clearing the fishing nets.

Slightly different from the first day, the losses of the Soochow gunboats today were a bit severe, they lost three battleships at once, and their combat effectiveness dropped by a small half.

In fact, even the Eastern Wu Navy did not fight a war.

These eight gunboats are already the elite of the Dongwu Navy, and if they are lost, the entire Dongwu Navy, in front of the Jingzhou Navy, is like a flock of hungry wolves, no matter how many sheep there are, what is the use?

"Alas!"

Ling Lie, the commander of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly, what should I do?

This battle is simply unfought.

"How can Shu have so many cannons, thinking of my Wu country, it took the strength of the whole country to cast a hundred cannons, but Shu has arranged no less than five hundred cannons on these twelve warships alone, how is this possible? This is only one of the twelve gunboats of the Jingzhou Navy Army, and it is said that their army has the most artillery. Could it be that Shu has thousands of cannons? How much copper and iron does that cost? Even if all the copper and iron in the world are concentrated in Shu, there can't be so much, right? ”

Ling Lie still referred to the Han as the Shu Kingdom to show his disdain.

But no one could answer his doubts, because the people present were all generals and ministers of Eastern Wu, and they didn't know much about the industrial system of the Han Dynasty than Ling Lie.

This is due to the fact that Liu Hou has always kept a strict secret about a key industry in China, especially the military industry, and it is difficult for Wei and Wu to obtain information in this regard.

"My subordinates have heard that when Shu and Wei were at war, they used to use a kind of artillery ~ cannon to fire ~ overwhelming shells, which could cover the entire Wei battalion, which was very terrifying. It is reported that they call this new type of fire ~ cannon 'Keqiu kill'. As for what exactly Keqiu killed, no one knows yet. The subordinates watched the cannonballs launched by these twelve warships ~ dragging a long tail flame, which was very different from the shells fired by our gun~ guns, but it was very similar to the rumored Keqiu killing. The subordinates estimated that the Shu army might have moved the Keqiu killing to the ship. ”

The person who spoke was dressed as a scribe, and he also shook a goose feather fan in his hand.

For such an important task as defending the defensive line, it is not enough to rely on bravery, but also to have a strategist as a plan.

This person dressed as a scribe is Zhang Cheng, the eldest son of Zhang Zhao, an important minister of Eastern Wu, the word Zhonghei, because of his good background, he has received a good education since he was a child, and he is quite strategic, this time he was sent by Lu Xun to serve as the military advisor of the defenders of this road, assisting Ling Lie to defend the defensive line.

"Alas! If the warships of Shu are equipped with this kind of Keqiu killing, then there is no need to fight this battle at all, we will lose, even if there are only these twelve warships, it is not something that our navy can resist. In the face of such a big killer, no matter how big our ships are, they are not enough, is it really the destruction of our Wu country?"

Ling Lie couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, letting out a desperate cry.

"The general doesn't have to worry too much, although the fire ~ cannon is powerful, it is difficult to cast, and the cost is also amazing. Thinking of our Wu country, exhausted the treasury, and almost the whole country built a hundred cannons to equip these ten gunboats. Although Shu has strong national strength, it will not be ten times better than us, not to mention that they have also fought for many years, and they have just finished a national war with Wei, and they must have consumed a lot. If they are allowed to wait for three or five years and completely digest the territory of the Wei State, it will indeed be difficult for our Wu State to resist. However, Liu Chan was so stupid that he began to launch aggression against our country only a year after destroying the Wei State, which was doomed to failure. Their national power will definitely be depleted. Of the twelve warships of the subordinate Guanshu Kingdom, each of them had at least forty or fifty Keqiu killing guns, and twelve ships were more than five hundred. This is simply incredible, and it must be like my country, which has built these important weapons with the strength of the country. So the general doesn't have to worry that they have other gunboats, they must have concentrated all the Keqiu killing guns in the whole army and placed them on these twelve battleships. As long as these twelve warships are destroyed, the Jingzhou Navy will definitely collapse. When the time comes, the general will cover the past with superior forces to ensure that the Jingzhou naval army will be annihilated. ”

Zhang Chengdao.

When Ling Lie heard Zhang Cheng's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Could it be that Mr. has a way to break these gunboats?" ”

He believes that since Zhang Cheng said so, there must be a way to crack it.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "My subordinates have a plan to wipe out these twelve enemy ships overnight. ”

Ling Lie was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Sir, come quickly." ”

Zhang Chengdao: "These twelve warships will stop at the edge of the reef area to guard our army, the general only needs to send our remaining gunboats to approach the defense line from time to time, and it is best to fire a few shells from time to time to make a feint attack, so as to create a kind of coercion for them." The purpose was to hold off the twelve enemy ships and prevent them from retreating. And then in the evening, the general just had to do this, and it would be done. ”
