Chapter 43: Naval Battles
Dangdangdang -
Three loud bells pierced the silence of the night, which was the signal for an enemy attack, and in three days, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Before the bell was over, the lights of thousands of homes were suddenly lit up, and the residents hurriedly pulled up the family and began to move, and the sailors were ready to gather in front of the Admiral's Mansion. But I saw Tianxin walking out of the Admiral's Mansion with the body of Lord Chang in his arms. The warriors looked at each other, and when Tianxin walked up to them and put Chang down, everyone was stunned.
Is this really Chang Man? How can this be, didn't Chang Daren die in the sea?
Even if the cape is scattered and the body is covered with bruises, the warriors will never admit their mistake. This person is Chang Minsheng, a good brother who once led them from birth to death, and a good boss who loves the people like brothers. Lingxuan told the truth that ordinary people died unexpectedly, and also informed them of Qiandeli's conspiracy to collude with the enemy army. At the thought of being used by the Gandeli family, the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and knelt down in front of the body of Chang Daren and wept bitterly, extremely sad and indignant. Some people even wanted to apologize with death, but fortunately they were stopped by Lingxuan and Tianxin in time.
The two showed their official seals and said loudly that the enemy army had now arrived. If you are so sluggish, Chang Minsheng will really be disappointed in you. Brothers, do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. If you want to die so much, you will die on the battlefield! Vent your grief and anger on the enemy, and let them see the majesty of the Zhenyao Empire's sailors back then!
"Commanded!"
All the armaments hidden by Qandley in the Admiral's Mansion were turned out, and the amount was shocking. Without exception, all were given to the fighters. At this time, the enemy report came from the No. 1 and No. 3 lighthouses, and the enemy dispatched four warships and divided into three routes. One of them had two ships, six nautical miles north-east of Lighthouse No. 2, one ship at Lighthouse No. 2 seven nautical miles north-west, and the last one was directly east of Lighthouse No. 3, about fifteen nautical miles. The speed of the whole ship is 24 knots, and the total strength of the ship is conservatively estimated at 2,000.
"Everyone obeyed my orders and was ready to board the ship. The scouts continued to observe enemy movements at the lighthouse. Lieutenant, give me a chart and tell me all the armaments of our country. ”
The deputy guard brought the charts and said that we had only a thousand men, and only two warships could be dispatched, and the third was being repaired at dock No. 1. Although there is a technical warship provided by the Ghost Refining Sect that can reach a speed of 28 knots, but the disparity in military strength is so great, how can it win?
The enemy forces are now lined up, and for the time being, they are named Enemy 1, Enemy 2, and Enemy 3 from west to east. The deputy guard helped Tianxin analyze the situation, because there is an ocean current between the mainland and Island B, and if the enemy wants to advance, he must pass through the area between the submarine volcanic area and Island B. Therefore, blocking at point A next to island A is the best way, but it may be attacked by the enemy 2 directly in front of point A. At the same time, the enemy 3 may take advantage of this to occupy Island C and the No. 2 lighthouse, you must know that there is a large reef in the south-west of Island C, and under the factor of ocean currents, you can only think of Island C through the BJ route, once the enemy forces capture Island C, it will be difficult for our troops to fight back.
Because it was night, it was not clear where the enemy troops belonged to. After all, the navies of the two countries have been exchanging fire for many years, and their naval strength is also one of the best, not to mention that Qiandeli will not be stupid enough to collude with other countries with low naval strength.
That makes sense, in that case, the enemy must be well aware of the sea conditions in Shiowang Bay, so it seems a bit difficult to do. But one thing must not be forgotten, it is night, and there is one thing they must not have guessed, and that is the news that Gendeli is dead. Hmph, see me invite you into the urn.
"Summons Lighthouse No. 1 and contacts Lighthouse No. 2 to give orders to Enemy Three. Let it land on Island C. ”
Tianxin's order made the soldiers who were preparing stop in an instant, staring at him with a different expression. Just let them land on Island C, no kidding, right?
"There is no time, please believe me, and at the same time let the two ships of Port 1 set off immediately, Lingxuan, you take 400 people on the No. 1 ship to follow the current to point A and stand by, and the other 400 people will board Island A with me. The remaining 200 people helped the residents to evacuate and raise their vigilance!"
The deputy guard and the officers and men replied in the affirmative, immediately carry out the order. After boarding the ship, news soon came from the front that the enemy three were gradually approaching Island C. A quarter of an hour later, Enemy 3 landed on Island C, Enemy 1 entered the area between Island B and the volcanic area, and Ship 1 was less than 5 nautical miles away from Enemy 2.
Tianxin ordered No. 1 to fire straight ahead, and stand by after a round of shelling, and the sound must be loud to indicate that we have fired. Then he and the soldiers landed on Island A and sent a signal to let No. 1 evacuate towards Point B at full speed, and asked Lingxuan to summon Xiao Yan out, try to maximize the fire, and the speed is basically the same as that of the enemy No. 2, so he lured it. He and his soldiers did a good job of concealment. Sure enough, although he was not attacked, how could the enemy No. 2, who had been bombarded, give up and hurriedly pursue No. 1. The enemy who heard the sound of artillery knew that we were going to meet them, and a quarter of an hour later the enemy received the signal from the enemy 2 and rushed to the vicinity of point A, and the enemy 3 had just reached point J, and the enemy 2 passed through point A.
Now is the time!
"All soldiers!
A burst of artillery suddenly sounded on Island A, and before the enemy could react, the stern and sails were blown off by the first round of shelling. In an instant, the enemy forces on the enemy were in disarray, and by the time they realized that the attack was coming from Island A, it was already too late. Not only was Island A attacking, but No. 1 also turned around and launched a fierce attack on it with the sound of artillery as an order. In less than half an hour, the enemy II announced that it was sinking!
First of all, you can come out on top, but you can't be proud, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Tianxin asked No. 1 to continue the attack, because after Enemy No. 2 was attacked, Enemy No. 1 would definitely come to support. At that time, Number Two will be able to go around to the rear and launch a sneak attack while Enemy 1 and 1 are engaged. As planned, the enemy 1 really came to support, and when he saw the No. 1 bombarding himself incessantly and the sinking enemy 2, who was only one head left, the enemy was immediately angry and launched a wild and indiscriminate bombardment of No. 1. Due to the strong light and emotions, they had no idea that Tianxin had boarded the second and circled behind them. Bang! I only felt a violent shaking of the hull of the ship, and the enemy was shot in the stern! After a period of scrambling, the enemy No. 1 found that No. 2 had emerged from the stern of the ship to outflank them.
"Fighters, hit me hard!"
Now that the enemy No. 1 had no way to escape, the fighters were in high spirits and together with No. 1 they poured tons of shells at the enemy. Bow, stern, sails, hull...... The anger of the soldiers hit every enemy mercilessly, and every soldier longed for a cannonball to hit them. Under this front and back attack, the enemy 1 sank to the bottom of the sea faster than the enemy 2, and suddenly the wail overwhelmed the sound of the splashing waves. In the face of the wailing of the enemy, the warriors showed no mercy, picked up their bows and arrows, and shot all the enemies who fell into the water.
The head of the Crossfire No. 1 was somewhat damaged, but it was fine. After a brief moment of excitement, news came from Lighthouse No. 1 that Enemy Three, who had just arrived at point B, was heading at full speed towards point A. Two ships, 2v2, the warriors who won two games in a row saw the enemy coming towards them, and the whole team burned, urging Tianxin to quickly order to rush up and kill the enemy. Tianxin looked at the chart and ordered solemnly:
"The whole army, wolf smoke rises on the deck, stand by in place!"
"Huh?"
All the soldiers shouted, thinking that Tianxin would let them charge with the whole army, but they didn't expect to be on standby, and not only that, but also wolf smoke on the deck!? This order frightened them all to jump, and the two ships shook violently.
Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and even Lingxuan began to question Tianxin's strategy, could it be a fluke to break the second consecutive just now?
A quarter and a half of an hour later, I saw the two ships of the enemy three rushing towards me. At this time, Tianxin ordered to drop mines and then move towards the port area at full speed, oh, I see, everyone finally understood what Tianxin meant. Deliberately standing by and raising wolf smoke is to make the enemy mistakenly think that we are badly damaged, so that the enemy can let down his guard and pursue, and then he can-
Bang bang bang!
A series of explosions rang out, and many columns of water jumped around the enemy three. Mines frantically attacked the hull of the enemy three, and soon the whole ship was crumbling. No. 1 and No. 2 immediately turned their rudders and lined up and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the enemy. Because of the influence of mines, the enemy 3 could not aim and return fire at all, and after four rounds of shelling, the enemy 3 finally broke the hull and began to sink.
"yes, win!"
Without spending a single soldier, it was a complete victory. With the cheers of all the soldiers, Tianxin also breathed a sigh of relief, and together with the soldiers, he took bows and arrows to destroy the enemy troops in the water one by one. However, as soon as he shot the flare and picked up the bow and stringed, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
No, there are two ships in the enemy three - one has been sunk, and where is the other?
