396. The Toyo will surely become a legend on the sea
The sky is blue, the blue waves are rippling, and the sky is cloudless.
Countless broken wooden planks, wine barrels, debris, etc., were washed by the waves onto the beach on the shore.
And, of course, the human corpses that have soaked to the point of swelling and white.
The sea was silent, the shattered military port deserted, but the smoke that had not yet dissipated, the corpses of some humans, and the blood-stained and clumps of sand on the golden sand. The human limbs are scattered, and crows hovering above them, croaking, as if calling friends to enjoy this gluttonous feast on the ground.
A steel battleship painted in navy floats silently on the surface of the water.
A total of 5 warships, all of which had been anchored, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the city of Ylan on a distant ridge.
An artillery bombardment just now has shattered the enemy's guts, and the backs of them dragging their butts and running frantically are really beautiful, and there are no more active targets on the entire reef and beach under their eyes.
On the deck, the tall Zhang Shan stood at the bow of the ship, with the Dragon Sword straddling his waist, holding a telescope in his hand, and his eyes turned to Xiongguan in the distance.
"First of all, there was a naval battle in the East, which completely annihilated the Far East Fleets of Yi and Gansu in Xiluo Prefecture, and then shelled the golden beach, I am afraid that at this time, these Yi people in Xiluo Prefecture are already afraid of each other, and they dare not come out of Yilan City!
Yilan City is a Xiongguan built by the Yilan Kingdom and the Ganwax Country, relying on the original Yao Mountain City on the Yilan Mountains. There are also five batteries on it, but they are the inner defense area that belongs to the deep defense circle, and with their range, they can't hit the sea.
But our range can be tried to touch! ”
Behind her, with a smile on Peggy's face, the sea breeze blowing through her hair in a mess, she pulled her hair in a bun and turned the seven-inch nail in her hand to insert it.
Now thinking of the naval battle the day before yesterday, she still feels excited, in that big battle of artillery fire, gunsmoke, rolling waves, roaring voices, and broken ships, the Dongyang fleet, with the Dongyang as the main ship, five battleships with absolute speed, absolute range, absolute rate of fire, and absolute firepower, occupied the absolute initiative with more than 80 main sail warships on the opposite side!
In the end, he completely annihilated the enemy's fleet and won a great victory that had never been seen or heard of in the entire history of the Oriental Naval War!
She believes that when this naval battle spreads, it will be the time when the legend of the Dongyang Fleet will become famous on the sea!
Peggy was originally a subordinate of Major Officer Zheng, who had experienced countless battles at sea and was more familiar with the fighting methods of pirates.
In the past, although Zheng Shaoguan was a maritime merchant in Jingguo and a big force in the East China Sea, in the final analysis, he was only messing around in the coastal seas, and once he encountered the main fleet of Xiluo Prefecture, he either escaped or offered to make offerings, and he didn't have the courage to touch it at all.
After repelling the East China Sea Sea Clan and signing the Donglou Treaty, Peggy and Zhang Shan entered the White Tiger's field of vision, after the Dongyang was launched, under the recommendation of the White Tiger, Peggy became the adjutant of the Dongyang, and now she has become the adjutant of the entire Dongyang fleet, she also slowly changed her thinking, and gradually became familiar with this way of naval warfare relying on ironclad ships.
With such a hearty sea battle, the evil qi in her chest was exhausted, which strongly stimulated her brain, and made her quickly reshape her understanding of this new naval combat mode under the climax.
"The court of the Yao Kingdom is now very chaotic, and the king Jin Datong is inclined to Jingguo, but the general is in favor of the prince Jin Yuchan, who is inclined to the Xiluo kingdoms and advocates a complete fall to the Ilan Kingdom.
When he went to Wendao to replenish supplies the day before yesterday, Jing Haiwei also sent an order from Commander Bai that he must take Yao back into his hands before the military parade begins, and the ideology of Yao should also be mastered.
The time is short, the task is heavy, and we don't have time to clean up the strongholds of the surrounding Xiluo countries in the Yao Kingdom.
The best way for us now is to directly attack the capital of the Yao Kingdom, Dahancheng, and use force to deter the monarchs and ministers of the Yao Kingdom. And this Ylang Pass is like a nail, we must pull it out! ”
Zhang Shan put away his binoculars and looked up at the drones flying around in the sky: "Now, we have swept away Hongyi's sail warships, coastal defense troops and other outer and middle defense areas, as long as we pull out the Yilan Pass, we can send troops to land, drive straight in, and go straight to the Great Han City." ”
Zhang Shan retracted his gaze and looked at the gunner, who had run to the deck.
"Captain, the drone sent out, has completed the positioning. However, there are still many civilians in the city, and if the shelling is carried out now, I am afraid that civilian casualties will not be avoided······"
The gunslinger reported.
"It's all Hongyi, how many of those who go to sea are not pirates? Ordered ······" Zhang Shan raised his hand to look at the time, and decisively ordered: "Ten minutes later, at eleven o'clock, a round of shelling will begin!"
Prepare your assault boats and get your Marines ready for landing. ”
"Yes!"
The gunslinger took the order and left.
"Let's go in too."
Zhang Shan called Peggy and entered the bridge of the Dongyang. At this time, on the big screen on Cambridge, the image taken by the drone from the sky of Yilan City was transmitting.
Yilan City is the settlement built by the Yilan Kingdom in the Yao Kingdom, which is the largest stronghold in the entire Xiluo Prefecture, and it is only less than 100 kilometers away from the capital of the Yao Kingdom, Dahan City.
There were many people in the city, and even under the clouds of war, commerce was still going on in the city.
"Whew~"
Davis sat on the terrace of the small white building, pipe in hand, a smoke ring in his mouth, and looked down the mountain. On the lawn below the small building, a lively drinking party is being held, and at this time it has entered the final stage, and in the corner of the courtyard, there are a couple of men and women who are in the middle of the match.
With a slight appreciation of these people, he skipped the courtyard and looked farther away.
In this fortress mountain city built on the mountain, there are not only noble Yilan people, but also many Xiluo people, as well as a large number of low-level Yao natives.
He looked at the coolies of the Yao Kingdom who were carrying stones and cannonballs to the city wall, like small ants that could be crushed to death with just one hand, and they didn't know how many they could step on if they stepped on it, moving on the ground.
On weekdays, his noble eyes would not fall on these little ants, but at this time, he had a feeling: "Look at these short, dark and thin inferior people, they are born to work as coolies!" ”
Davis spat out a puff of smoke rings and raised his glass to the two men next to him.
The man across from him raised his glass, but his face was sad.
This man has vigorous hair, although it is a cold winter, but he has an open chest, the chest hair is like a blue-black sweater, covering his skin, his turquoise eyes, emitting a faint fluorescence, and the pupils are locked.
Far beyond ordinary people's eyesight, he could see from afar the dark blue battleship docked in the sea that had been completely smashed, and it seemed as small as a toy because of the distance.
I couldn't help but have a flash of horror in my eyes.
"Sir Davis, you can still enjoy the beauty of the mountains and feel the beauty of life here. But I'm afraid I'm going to go back to my country to stand trial. ”
He said sadly.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Fleet, and this time there is an epic defeat, and no one can afford to bear this pot for him.
Bitterly swallowed the wine brought from the country in one gulp.
No one can compare to his perception of the horror of Jingguo's warships.
To this day, he still can't understand why steel can float on water!
Under a sudden encounter, before he had time to judge and react to the warship of the steel cannon, the opponent's gun muzzle was the first to spray flames, and the cannonballs fell on their fleet like raindrops, and the largest and strongest Far East Fleet, composed of more than eighty sail warships, which was famous in the entire Oriental region, was destroyed in this way!
Like a water dog, he dived under the water and survived, but the losses of this war were too great, and he could already imagine what fate awaited him when he returned to the country of Ilan.
I'm afraid that I will be torn apart by the angry nobles of the Ilan Kingdom!
"I sympathize with your experience, but it is the most important thing to stabilize our economic interests in the Far East, the decay and incompetence of Jingguo is rapidly declining, and their northern barbarians have gradually swept the steppes and deserts.
The Jin, the Ruertes, and the Hagenta have gradually formed the Daru Dynasty, which is a new and rapidly growing empire. I saw the desire to devour the world.
The Tiger tribe next door to our Xiluo Prefecture has also ground their teeth and allowed blood, entered the territory of Jingguo, and tore a large territory from this sick giant.
I don't think it will be long before the Daru Dynasty will be completely wiped out, inherit the legacy of Jingguo, and become a major empire in the entire Eastern world!
In the process, we will be able to draw huge benefits from the East.
And Yaoguo is such a springboard that cannot be missing! ”
Davis spoke eloquently, and after finishing speaking, a pair of blue eyes looked at him and said, "Roshmin, my friend, Ylang City needs you. ”
Roshmin's turquoise eyes rolled for a moment: "Your Excellency, I know your influence on Watson Street, maybe you can help me." ”
"Of course, my friend. As long as Yilan City can be defended, it will be good to wait until the support of the Dongluo Continent arrives. I should step down as Governor of the East in May next year, and I can help you mediate in Watson Street. ”
Davis agreed.
However, he hid the arrogance in his eyes. For Roshmin, a dilapidated aristocrat from the countryside, he couldn't see it in his eyes, this stupid guy, who buried the entire Far Eastern Fleet, but he escaped back with all his beards and tails, what a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death!
He should have been buried at sea with the destruction of the Far Eastern Fleet!
But now, Jingguo, who should have been weak and only survived, actually destroyed the Far East Fleet in an incredible way and hit the naval port! It was just when he needed to unite the people, and he had to compromise to invite such a filthy country ragged aristocrat to his noble drinking party.
And he didn't believe a word about the god-like invincible navy described by this incompetent guy, he felt that this guy must have said it in order to wash away his stupidity and shirk responsibility!
However, this morning, it is an indisputable fact that the Golden Beach Fort on the front line was easily captured, and the soldiers who came back from the front line, Davis also knew that the firepower of these Jingguo people was not ordinary, so he was willing to put down the pride in his heart and invite Roshmin, the wolf king, to participate in the defense of the city!
Roshmin, on the other hand, heard Davis's assurance, and his whole body became relaxed.
But just as Roshmin was about to say something, the man in the black robe next to him suddenly stood up, holding a civilization stick inlaid with rubies, and walked to the edge of the white marble stone guardrail on the terrace, with a pair of eyes looking at the location of the harbor, and an incredible expression on his face: "How is it possible!?" ”
Roshmin also jerked to his feet.
"This is the shelling of Jingguo people? Can they hit here? ”
Davis sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai and sneered with a crooked mouth: "Jingguo people are afraid that they will be carried away by the joy of victory, this place is more than 20 kilometers away from the sea, and no country in the world has such a long-range artillery ······"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't go on.
The shells spun violently, the tail rubbed violently against the air to create vortices, and a piercing screech resounded in the sky.
The people in Yilan City also heard the screaming sound of "Xiu Xiu", and they looked up at the sky.
Black things are falling from the sky!
Curly-haired John was standing in the doorway with a urine bucket in his hand, and a cannonball "clicked" and stuck into the ground at his feet.
A puff of dust was kicked up.
The next moment.
"Boom!"
The earth shakes and the mountains shake.
The violent explosion instantly destroyed his body, and in the violent scream, the shock wave quickly spread out with shrapnel, stumps, tissues, and urine, leaving only a charred black crater that spread radially in its place.
Almost at the same time, more than a dozen shells had already fallen around Ylang City.
"Ahh
"Oh my God, where did this cannonball come from!"
"My legs, who's going to save me, who's going to save me!"
There was an instant panic in the mountain city.
People ran frantically towards the stone houses, under the city walls, and others outside the city.
Luo Shimin and the black-robed man turned around and wanted to ask Davis for an idea, but they found that Davis had already taken three steps and made two steps, and his body was as flexible as a monkey, and he quickly escaped from the terrace, and stepped down the stairs to seven or eight steps, and hurriedly ran down to the underground cellar of this white building, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jingguo people actually have such an artifact, which can hit more than 20 kilometers away!"
"But how is this possible? Jingguo has such strength, how can it still be invaded by the Daru Dynasty? ”
Davis said in disbelief.
When the war did not fall on his head, he could use a lupine scarf, he could remotely control thousands of miles, he could talk and laugh and go up in ashes, but when the shells fell on his head, he turned around and ran.
Because he knew that a few defeats in the Far East could not shake his position, and as long as the interests of the imperial nobles were safeguarded, he would be a political star with outstanding achievements at home!
But when life is gone, there is nothing!
