Chapter 1321: Preferential Treatment of Prisoners
Because this naval battle was initiated by the Dongying people, their commander Abe Baihui was optimistic that the Yanyun Navy did not have the strength to compete with them at all, and it should collapse at the first touch.
Then they all withdrew to Shunfeng Harbor, relying on their offshore superiority, and combined with the fortified batteries of Shunfeng Harbor as the last line of defense, to make a more stubborn resistance.
Therefore, the main battlefield of this battle is not to fight against the Yanyun fleet at sea, but to attack the tough battle launched on the shore, although this may be a bit of a difficult task, but it must also be quickly resolved.
Because there is also a powerful Rus' fleet in the North Sea that will go south at any time, they must take and occupy Shunfeng City as soon as possible, otherwise they may face the dilemma of fighting on both sides.
In fact, in order to capture Shunfeng Harbor as soon as possible, they also transferred back some of the main warships from the North Sea, from the current strategic layout, this is actually a very risky operation, and the key to victory or defeat is time.
Abe Baihui gathered almost all the warships that could be mobilized in the northeast sea, trying to deal a fatal blow to the Yanyun navy, and this also caused the number of warships on their outskirts of Gaojuli to drop sharply, almost to the point that they could not cope with it.
But this should be no problem, because the Yanyun Navy is too busy to take care of itself, and it will definitely not send a fleet to attack the coast of Gaojuli, and even if it is an attack, it must be a very small-scale harassment, which is basically negligible...... This is the judgment of Abe Baikai.
Therefore, the patrol fleet that Xiao Chen encountered was only a few dozen ships, and there was not even a large main warship among them, and half of them were temporarily converted from fishing boats.
How surprised they were when they saw the combined fleet of several hundred ships led by Xiao Chen approaching in battle formation!
How is this possible in Baga Yalu?
Could it be that the Yanyun Navy is crazy?
They didn't defend Shunfeng Harbor, but they sent all the main warships to attack Goguryeo?
The reason why Xiao Chen was identified as the main fleet was because there were fifty ironclad battleships made by Russ in the fleet, which looked like a behemoth from a distance!
Moreover, since Wu Hanming knew that the other side only had dozens of non-main warships, he did not let the troop carriers avoid it at all, but covered them up together, and the Dongying Water Division could not see it clearly from a distance, thinking that those troop carriers were also warships......
Xiao Zihao took the lead, and with the indomitable momentum, he directly killed it, and fired a cannon in advance outside the range of the Dongying battleship's cannons!
The artillery on the Xiao Zi is a super-first-class existence in Yanyun and even the world, under such a good shooting range, on such a stable sea, in this most comfortable distance, it cannot be said that 100 shots are hit, but 10 shells are fired, and at least five shots accurately hit the target!
The artillery fire is fierce and accurate, but the most terrifying thing is its super-first-class armor, and the guns on these non-main battleships of the Dongying fleet can't cause any substantial damage to it at all, it's basically like tickling! It seems that there is only one way, and that is to stick it desperately and melee with them!
I have to say that the officers and men of the Dongying fleet are very decisive, they are not afraid to retreat in the face of the suppressive superiority of the Yanyun Navy, but come to the fire like moths, not seeking to win the battle, only to break the jade!
Of course, if you can sink this Xiao Zi before the jade shatters, it will be a great victory!
It's a pity that in the face of absolute strength, their courage to die and high morale are not worth mentioning, in the face of their swarming, Xiao Zihao not only did not do any evasion, but rushed head-on, without giving them any chance to break jade, and directly knocked them all into a state of parts!
The armor of this battleship in Bagaya Road is really amazing......
It was a battle of suicide and massacre, and in less than an hour the fleet was completely annihilated.
The sea was full of overboard soldiers, dying in the fierce currents of the battleship, waiting to be shot one by one by the archers on the battleship.
However, no, when the Yanyun battleship approached, it neither fired a shot nor fired an arrow, but lowered the boat on the side of the ship and rescued them all.
There was neither torture nor interrogation, but an amiable young man conversed with them in a broken dialect, admiring their spirit of death and solemnly informing them that your battle was over......
Now that you are our captives, our Yanyun Army has always treated our captives preferentially, and if you have any grievances about this and insist on breaking jade for your emperor's sake, we will also respect your opinion.
Of course, I won't let you cut your stomach, because the defeated soldiers are not qualified to hold knives, so you can only jump into the sea, anyway, there are sharks everywhere that smell blood......
The officers and men of the Dongying Water Division are relatively 'civilized', and they generally do not shoot soldiers who fall into the water, and if conditions permit, they will also salvage and treat them. In the battle, they can choose the jade shatter, but the battle is over, then the jade fragment has no meaning.
Anyway, it was you Yan Yun who took the initiative to save us, and we didn't ask for your help, and we didn't surrender, but we just passively became your prisoners in a helpless situation.
This means that we will neither thank you for your kindness, nor refuse your help, and certainly not jump into the sea to feed the sharks.
In addition, although you are victorious, you are not victorious, because the difference in strength is too great, so you should not work too proudly.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, you personally led all of Yan Yun's main fleet here, did you give up Shunfeng City?" A young Dongying officer with a bloody face suddenly asked Xiao Chen in fluent Chinese.
"Huh? Do you recognize me? Xiao Chen was surprised.
"My name is Nakamura Akechi, I am a graduate of Yanyun University, and I have always been taught by you!" The young officer bowed deeply at Xiao Chen.
"Oh...... You're a student at a military academy, right? Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"The students are the first graduates of Yanyun Military Academy, and our dean is the respected Mr. Zhuge , as well as General Lin Yue, General Yue Zhonglin, Mr. Yibu, General Zayama George, and General Wu Hanming have all been our visiting professors." Nakamura Akeshi knows a lot of people.
"Hehe, no wonder your kid's battleship is running for me, you want to sink me first, right?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as we take the Xiao number of Mr., we will achieve the greatest victory. If we can kill Mr., then the whole victory will be ours...... But the student really didn't expect that Mr. Xiao Chen, you would personally participate in the battle......" Nakamura Akechi said.
