Volume 2 Gang Crush Chapter 73 The Holy Gang is a joke
After all the enemy ships retreated, Chen Zuyi asked each battalion to report the battle damage. Of the 15 battalions that came out this time, 11 battalions engaged the enemy in a helping fight, and the battalion with the least losses suffered only a few hundred casualties. The largest loss was the Wuzi Battalion, with more than 400 casualties, and only 100 people were able to stand.
The 15th Battalion suffered 2,356 casualties and 1,023 wounded, which made Chen Zuyi's heart twitch. It's really better to be counted by the sky, and you can see from their hurried reactions that the other party did not intend to ambush. Otherwise, your fleet really can't get out of this sea passage!
The Black Shark warship slowly sailed out of the sea passage with seven captured Javanese warships. Except for two of the seven warships, which were newly assigned to the Youzi Battalion and the Xinzi Battalion, the remaining ships had other battalions assigned to operate the ships with extra manpower. Chen Zuyi and Lin Xian stood at the bow of the ship and whispered about the need to continue recruiting new soldiers, when suddenly the lookout shouted loudly, "I found ten warships approaching!" ”
Chen Zuyi frowned, but still asked the flag officer to come over and order: "Let the ships be ready for battle!" ”
"Sure it's the Holy Gang fleet!"
"The distance is five miles, and the other party has slowed down!"
"The other party is in battle formation!"
"Oh? Our old friend came just in time! Chen Zuyi said to Lin Xian with a smile, and after speaking, his heart moved, and the other party was able to chase after them a day apart, which showed that there was a secret stake of the other party in the gang, and the news was very timely.
At this time, Lin Xian also looked over, "There are internal ghosts!" The two said at the same time, and nodded solemnly to each other after speaking.
"Since the other party has a secret stake in the gang, if it is someone from the Black Shark Army, from the time we set off until now, he has no time to spread the news......"
"The news must have come from the left-behind personnel on the island, and we will find out if anyone has left the island after we set off!" Lin Xian reacted a lot, and he was also more sophisticated, and he hit the nail on the head at once.
"Good! I'll have someone check it out quietly when I get back! The Holy Gang only has a total of 3,000 people, and since they have a secret stake in the gang, who gave them the guts to pick up the tiger's whiskers!? Chen Zuyi was a little puzzled, although his own people had more than 3,000 casualties, they still had about 4,000 combat strength. Aren't the Holy Gang all Tie Hanhan, just rushing over and sending warmth to themselves?
"I can't figure this out either, the most likely time is that the other party has also increased its manpower, or is it that the four of them came together and just ambushed on the side?" After Lin Xian finished speaking, he shook his head and denied this possibility. Because it's not necessary, they just entered the sea, and the other party just blocked the way, and it was too late to spare. If the other three gangs also come, they will rush up, and their side will suffer a big loss!
"Hmph, just because his Holy Gang still wants to eat our Black Shark Army, that's a joke!" If Chen Zuyi didn't even have this bit of confidence, he might as well plunge into the sea and drown himself.
"Artillery charge!"
"Artillery charge!"
......
"Trebuchet loads firebombs!"
......
On the twenty warships, the shouts of the battalion commanders came and went.
The ten warships of the Holy Gang had already lined up, apparently waiting for the Black Shark Gang to approach and fire artillery.
The Black Shark Army is not a rookie of the Holy Gang, thinking that as long as they fight a round of artillery bombardment, they can fight the archers at close range, and then jump to the gang to fight! That's all the old calendar!
A certain strategist once said: a stagnant army or country will eventually be eliminated!
When the Black Shark Army's warships were a mile away from the Holy Gang warships, they suddenly split into two columns, rowing past each other's two ends. At the same time as the passage passed, the guns on the side of the ship opened fire one after another. This kind of flowing water blow makes the other party very blind.
With only one blow, it took a quarter of an hour from start to finish for two flotillas to pass. The artillery rang for a quarter of an hour, and only the Black Shark Army's artillery rang out. The rookies of the Holy Gang can't fire because of the angle problem!
The pirates of the Holy Gang, who were still laughing at the tattered Black Shark warship, were blinded by the other party's unreasonable way of playing cards. It's obvious that I'm here to rob the other party.,Why does it seem like you're the little suffer!?
Abdul broke out in a cold sweat! Damn it! It's time to remind the gang leader, the last time I attacked Lombok, I felt that the other party didn't talk about the routine, and this time it's like this again! This group of cowards can't fight a naval battle well, let's have a hearty hand-to-hand battle at close range!
Chen Zuyi's Black Shark flagship once again made a big move, sinking one of the opponent's warships with just one round of artillery fire.
"Herald, all ships turn around! One more time! After that, if you have the opportunity, you will take the battle and take the ship! ”
With Chen Zuyi's order, the flag officer conveyed the order of the gang leader, and then the two warships drew a huge arc and went straight to the warships of the Holy Gang that turned around one after another.
When the two ships approached again, Abbasid, the leader of the gang, ordered the ships of the Holy of Holies to face each other with their bows facing each other. This time he suffered a loss, but he can't eat it a second time! Let the Black Sharks also taste the fierce artillery fire of the Holy Gang! The guns on his ship were purchased from distant Portugal, and they were the most advanced of the artillery.
To the surprise of the Abbas, the other side no longer lined up, but again drew an arc and then two columns and lined up, lined up, and the guns on the side of the board were once again aimed at the bow of his ship.
"Oh! O Allah! Have you abandoned us?! ”
"Damn sailor, turn around! Smash these / Orientals with my artillery! The Abbasids shouted in a rage.
"Boom! Boom! ”
It's a pity that it's too late, the artillery fire of the opponent's entire twenty warships is covered, and that is a disaster!
The Abbasids watched as their gunners on deck flipped on their backs, their limbs flying! Two more ships were sunk. When you are panicking, the opponent's warship is indeed approaching quickly, which is ready to take on the battle!
Looking at the only seven tattered warships, the Abbasids had only one thought, flee! But their positions have been swapped with the Black Shark Gang, and if they escape now, they must pass through each other's ship formation!
"Allah willing!" After the Abbasid said a word, he said: "Give me orders!" Break through with my ship! ”
The two fleets soon scuffled, and four of them were grabbed by the Black Sharks with their thick flying catches, and only three escaped. Luckily for the Abbasids, he escaped. His deputy gang leader and 1st battalion commander, Abdul, was unlucky, and his boat was hooked. I had to do my best to fight against the tiger-wolf-like Black Shark Army. In the end, he was defeated and captured!
The Black Shark Army, who did not hook the opponent's ship, was very helpless, their warship was loaded with too many things, and it was too cumbersome to drive, so they could only look at the distant shadow of the ship and spit!
In this naval battle, four ships of the Holy Gang were captured, all of which were about 1,500 materials, 800 people were captured, and the rest were all killed. The Black Shark Gang suffered heavy losses this time, and the little centaurs were gone. Therefore, the captives of the Holy Gang cannot be killed, and the Four Holy Alliances should not completely turn their faces for the time being! In the final analysis, the strength is still not enough, and I can't afford to provoke it!
The fleet continued to set sail, and the two warships, whose masts had been broken, had just been battled against the Javanese, and could only be dragged and paddled slowly by the other ships. It took three days to return to Lombok.
When they returned to Lombok, the cargo ship had finished unloading, and Chen Zuyi rewarded the Gengzi team with five million taels of silver, so that each of them received 10,000 taels of silver, and another 5,000 taels were added to the death pension. The battalion commanders personally delivered it to their families, and after this battle, Chen Zuyi only had 10 million taels of silver left from robbing Pontianak City.
This made him sigh, he really can't play the navy without money, this thing burns money!
Datu took the guards and personally sent them back to the homes of every fallen soldier in the Bo Ni Country. The family was sad and grateful, never expecting so much of a pension. Fifteen thousand taels of silver is enough for them to live without food and clothing until they are old!
Whoever has a brother in the family must rush to follow Datu to the army. They vaguely knew that this army was not the same as that of the Bo Ni Kingdom, but it did not hinder their desire to follow. It's not because of silver, it's because of silver. The reason is that everyone has their own scale to measure!
Datu has to grieve once every time he gives a pension, and when he finishes it, he brings back one or two children, and he will be relieved and happy again! He believes that these people will be his help and foundation in the future! Until the Datug family becomes a family!
On the night of his return to Lombok, in Chen Zuyi's study.
"Daddy Meng, who left the island on the day we visited our camp as soon as possible in the past two days!"
"Yes, don't worry, you should be able to find that person in half a day at most!" Meng Zhuang is very confident, he has dealt with the bankers the most and is familiar with each of them.
"Yuan Liang, there may still be people in the camp about this matter, you and Dad also find a way to inquire quietly, this matter will affect the morale of the army very much!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Leaving aside the matter of Lombok for the time being, let's first mention the junction of West Kalimantan and Sarawak on the state of Pontianak on Borneo is the front line of the battle between the Javanese army and the army of the Bo Ni Kingdom. Governor Vikramafahana was in the tent to approve the official document when he overheard a soldier report that there was an urgent military report for 800 miles from Pontianak City. Let the herald enter the account.
"Report to your lordship, the humble duty is the Pontianak City defender General Mo Daifeld marked the small flag Uda, Pontianak City was destroyed by the Srivijaya Sailor last night, and all military funds were looted! General Mordaifeld was assassinated, and there was not one in ten of the defenders! ”
"Smack!" Vikramafahana directly pinched off the brush in his hand, and asked in a calm voice, "Even if there is no one in ten, how did you escape?" ”
"My lord, when the enemy attacked last night, the general had been assassinated, and there was no one to command, so he had to gather his own banner and retreat while killing, and in the end, only eight of our fifty people broke out of the encirclement! Wait until dawn when the killing in the city gradually stops, and risk death to investigate! It was found that the two warehouses of soldiers and civilians in the city were looted! Gather your comrades again, and only 300 people remained! ”
"Are you sure it was the Three Buddhas who did it?"
"I have been in the army for 12 years, I have participated in the Sumatra landing campaign, and I have fought several battles with the Srivijaya sailors, and I am confident that I will not mistake their armor!"
"Well, you go down and rest first, don't mention this news to others, understand? If you dare to disturb the hearts of our army, you will not be spared! ”
"Obedience!" Uda came to report desperately, thinking that he would be able to get a good deal and that the governor would give him some reward for his hard work. Now it seems that it would be nice to be able to save my life!
