"Last night's battle, although we won, but the losses were not small, a total of sinking is mainly to sink more than 100 boats (small warships), 18 Mengchong (river boats), more than 400 casualties, nearly 100 of them were injured by those harrier eagles, this kind of tactics we have never seen, so we will suffer a big loss." Wu Hanming said.

"Well, in the future, we must take corresponding measures to defend, and we can also learn from this kind of tactics, I have also seen many people boiling eagles in the country of Moxi, but it is the first time I have seen them fight with eagles." Dugu Corridor.

"We have sent two Mengchong ships to transport the wounded back, and sent twenty ships to escort them, and there are currently four hundred and fifty ships left, and twenty ships of Mengchong." Wu Hanming said.

What's interesting is that none of the hot air balloons were lost, and all of them landed smoothly, and the pilots trained by Liu Fuhai were really amazing, which impressed everyone.

On a night with very low visibility, landing on the deck of a ship with very little space during navigation is much more difficult than landing on an aircraft carrier today!

He is truly the pride of the sky!

Although they did not directly participate in the battle, they all took the same credit as the water ghost troops and the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and everyone did not have any opinions, because they did play a huge role in this battle.

This encounter was actually unexpected by both sides, and it was a narrow encounter.

The reason why Yanyun Shui Division won was that the soldiers fought bravely and tactically accurately, and Wu Hanming of Dugulou made a decisive decision and commanded properly, but it has to be said that there are some elements of luck.

Because they reacted quickly, they took the brunt of the opponent's flagship, the Condor, and paralyzed the command system of the Ross fleet.

Moreover, the Ross battleship was not familiar with night battles, but the Yanyun Navy Division had practiced many times, and had also experienced actual combat on the Bailong River, and had a certain amount of experience, so it won the victory.

The cooperation between the hundreds of ships is quite tacit, using their own mobility and the vastness of the sea area to bring the wolf pack tactics to the extreme.

In addition, their weapons are much more advanced than those of the Rus, although there is only one cannon on the ship's bow, but their power should not be underestimated, and they fire a variety of shells, including solid projectiles, bursting shells, and incendiary eggs.

In particular, the effect of the blast bomb is particularly significant, once it hits the deck, the effective killing range can reach about ten meters!

Although this burst bomb could not cause any damage to the Rus' ironclad battleship itself, it caused great psychological pressure on the Rus' soldiers.

Due to the current technical limitations, the new type of explosive bomb created by the madman is actually not perfect, for the sake of safety, the gunpowder filled in it is very limited, and there are not many shrapnel, so the lethality is not very large.

Generally, the Rus soldiers who are hit by shrapnel at a distance of two meters will not be fatal, but they will be injured, and they will lose their combat effectiveness at the least, and they must be rescued on the battlefield at worst, which will greatly consume their troops.

It takes at least two people to lift a wounded soldier off the deck, and forty people for twenty wounded soldiers, so how many people are there on a battleship?

However, the wounded soldiers should not be left alone, which will disturb the morale of the army to a great extent, so it is necessary to treat the ......

Under the cover of this kind of artillery fire and the intensive fire of bows, arrows and muskets, the Mengchong ship had the opportunity to get close to the Rus battleship and force its way on.

This style of play was also a helpless move, because the Ross battleship was so strong that it could not be sunk by their artillery fire alone.

Eleven of the eighteen Monchong ships lost were rammed and sunk by the Rus battleship!

If the Yanyun Sailor also had this kind of sturdy ironclad giant ship...... Not now, but there will be in the future.

In general, the Yanyun Sailor only relied on the existing strength, which was enough to fight the Ross Ironclad!

Although the losses in this battle were not small, Dugulou also knew the next battle.

Originally, it was going to play the side drums, but now it can officially participate in the war as a formed fleet.

The fleet supported by the Rus' side was routed, but they entered the battle in time, so that the situation on both sides had changed dramatically.

Now what Dugulou needs Xiao Chen to show is, what kind of state are we going to participate in the war?

Whether to find a way to preserve your strength, or to fully commit to it, all or nothing!

"The current situation is still very serious, we can't care about these small gains and losses, and if we don't completely defeat the Ross fleet, everything will be in vain, so we must do our best and go all out!" Xiao Chen made a decision after a little groaning.

"That's what the boss said, and that's what we think." Dugulou was very happy that Xiao Chen's thoughts were in line with his own.

"You've thought about it, and you're asking me what I'm doing?" Xiao Chen said angrily, "You are the commander of this battle, not me." ”

"Hehe, in fact, now our chances of victory are already very good, as long as Shaoyan Mingguang's Dongying Water Division can withstand it, let's solve the enemy in the southern battlefield and wave our troops north together, and attack from both sides, the Rus will definitely be defeated! So Han Ming and I don't think it's a big problem to save some of our strength. "Dugu Corridor Road.

"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, Li Wanjiang won't come to me to grab Shunfeng Harbor in a short time, because he knows what the strength of the Great Zhou Water Division is, if he arranges all the main forces in Shunfeng Harbor, hehe, he will have to face strong pressure from Dongying in the future...... Li Wanjiang is very smart. "Xiao Chen is also very smart.

He's just always confused about the little things.

"And pressure from Rose." Dugulou said with a smile, "I think if Li Wanjiang is really as smart as you say, the boss, he will take the initiative to ask you to talk to Roth in the next step." ”

"Well, Li Wanjiang is actually far smarter than we think, and he will be our biggest enemy in the future." Xiao Chen sighed, knowing that he and Li Wanjiang would have a fight sooner or later.

Who wins and loses is still unknown.

But he hoped that the day would come as late as possible, and as late as possible......

Li Shi's combined fleet finally started a decisive battle with the Third Fleet of Rus, and the only eighteen large warships left in the Great Zhou, more than a hundred medium warships, hundreds of small warships, dozens of pirate ships, and even Qian Yunfei's Yizhou Navy Division also participated in the surrounding battles as a response.

This was a hard-fought battle, both sides were all red-eyed, playing with their lives, the sound of artillery fire, shouting and killing was earth-shattering, dozens of battleships on the blood-stained sea were on fire, but there were countless soldiers slashing each other in the flames!

Although the pirates are brave, their ships are too small and fragile compared to the Ross ironclad warships, and they can only rely on superb piloting skills to maneuver around them, and if they are not careful, they will be knocked and sunk!

Only the eighteen large warships of the Great Zhou could be hard steel with it, but in the face of more than fifty Rus ironclad ships, they were greatly inferior in terms of numbers, and they could only rely on the assistance of medium-sized warships to launch an effective attack.
