Chapter Two Thousand and Forty: Collision, Suppression, Retreat
The first large-scale battle between the city-state of Nuya and the Yasi Empire broke out in the middle of the night. www.biquge.info In addition to the collision between Tang Chuxue's side and the First Fleet, there are two other battlefields. The combined fleets of the Seven Kingdoms faced off against the Third and Sixth Fleets of Yasi.
Tang Chuxue's ambush was successful, and he took the advantage when he came up. Although the First Fleet responded in time and scattered and rushed forward, it was still suppressed to death, and the opponent's artillery was so accurate that almost one out of forty or fifty shells could hit their ship, and even if they turned off the lights, it was useless, and people could find them by listening to the sound.
They also fought back frantically, but they could only roughly judge the position of the opponent's warship, and they couldn't hit the enemy at all.
Obviously, the speed of the ship is faster than that of the other party, and the weapons are more advanced, so it can fight far. But it didn't play any role, and it was eaten to death by others.
Not to mention, the other party's ships are obviously scattered, and the lights are out. There is no mess in the slightest, and they cooperate seamlessly with each other. Their ships were constantly hit by multiple artillery fire from the opposing side, as if someone was in command, which was simply inconceivable for them.
On the other hand, on the side of the Yasi Empire, although the dispersion reduced the intensity of the enemy's concentrated attack, it also caused a chaotic situation of fighting for each other. Due to the darkness of the sky, in order to avoid being attacked by the opponent, they all turned off the lights, and they couldn't see any instructions at all, so they could only rush up, hoping to withstand it!
The collision between the two sides was quite fierce, the cannon roared continuously, and Yasi's fleet was rapidly approaching, which looked violent, but in fact it was bitter. On the way forward, they had already lost almost two dozen battleships.
The city-state of Nuya had not yet suffered any losses, and they were beginning to retreat, their speed was not as fast as others, so they could only move in advance. In fact, since Yaxi's fleet rushed over, Tang Chuxue had already given the order to retreat.
On the flagship of the First Fleet of the Yasi Empire, Commander Hart saw that one battleship after another was sunk by the other party, and his face turned red with anger.
"It's a damn night!" Hart kept cursing, if it weren't for the fact that it was dark and difficult to judge the opponent's position, with the speed of the First Fleet and the range of the cannons, he would have beaten the opponent to the ground.
He was on fire at the moment, eager to sink all the opponent's fleet and throw all the opponent's soldiers into the sea to feed the fish. Completely does not take into account the root cause of their suppression. Darkness was of course the main factor, but the enemy's precise shelling and swift communications were more effective.
"Sir, Master Guoshi, please come over!" A soldier ran to Hart's side and whispered a report.
"Huh?" Hart was stunned for a moment, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that something was wrong with his command. Since it is suppressed by the other side, it is necessary to minimize losses, retreat backwards, and open up the distance, whether it is to consume until dawn or to give full play to the advantage of the long range of the cannon. Can ...... now As the commander of the First Fleet, he was too uncalm and carried away by anger, which was really substandard.
With a flash of thought, Hart quickly calmed down, whispered a few words to the soldier, and strode to the cabin. Although the command was wrong, it was too late to remedy it.
Arriving at the cabin, Hart respectfully saluted Ola, then took the initiative to tell him his mistake and waited to be trained.
However, what he didn't expect was that Aura did not get angry, but affirmed his command and told him to move on, rushing up to fight the fleet of the city-state of Nuya.
"What's going on?" Hart was stunned, shouldn't he retreat now, why should he rush forward? Could the national teacher also be so angry that he lost his mind.
Thinking of this, Hart wants to persuade Ora not to do this. But before he could speak, Ola said solemnly: "You must rush forward, this is a big plan!"
Hart straightened his eyes, turned his head and ran out, he had just ordered the soldiers to light the lights and go to the lookout to give the order to retreat......
The battle continued, and the First Fleet desperately rushed to fight its opponents, but only two dozen warships actually came forward. The city-state of Nuya took advantage of the darkness and communication to turn again and again, trying not to give the opponent a chance. An hour after the collision, the First Fleet had lost thirty ships. The city-state of Nuya also lost more than a dozen ships......
Unlike Tang Chuxue's side, which successfully suppressed the First Fleet, the other two battlefields were relatively stale. Although Tang Chuxue had already told them the way of fighting before, his proficiency in the use of wireless telegraphy and the accuracy of the gunners were very different from the soldiers of the Star Leader.
Therefore, in addition to giving the other party a head-on blow as soon as it came up, the initiative on the battlefield was gradually occupied by the Yaxi Empire. Judging by the number of ships lost, it was also Yasi who had the advantage.
But even so, the people of the city-state of Nuya are already very satisfied, even if they are at a disadvantage, they have sunk many of the opponent's warships, anyway, there are many ships on their side, and they can kill each other if they fight hard.
The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the commanders of the third and sixth fleets felt that it was not worth it. Even if you have the advantage, you can't fight like this, the other party's means of transmitting messages in the dark night are too powerful. So they gave the order to retreat one after another.
The speed of the ship is there, and the warships of the Yasi Empire want to retreat, but the city-state of Nuya can't stop it. After a few rounds of artillery in pursuit, they let out cheers......
The commander of the Sixth Fleet, Duris, stood at the stern of the flagship and looked coldly into the distance, where the battle with the city-state of Nuya was engaged. Although he gave the order to retreat sensibly, he was furious in his heart. When did the Empire's fleet have the upper hand against the city-state of Nuya, they fought each other a few days ago, but today they were forced to retreat, which is simply a shame. I don't know how angry the emperor will be when the news comes back, and how many people will laugh at him, and even the position of the commander of the Sixth Fleet may be lost.
Taking a deep breath, Duris gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, I will look for you again during the day, and I will definitely annihilate you all...... Then hit the north shore of the Dream Sea!"
"Woo~" Suddenly, the horn sounded, and Duris, who was being ruthless, was startled, looked up at the lookout, and asked loudly, "What happened?"
"Lord Commander, there is a large area of light in front of the left, it seems to be a fleet, so big!" The soldiers on the lookout shouted loudly.
"On the left front, in the east, could it be the fleet ambushed by the city-state of Nuya, there was no news before!" With this in mind, Dukes hurried to the foot of the mast, and with three or five strokes of his hands and feet, he climbed to the lookout.
Looking into the distance, Dukes grew his mouth, and a thought flashed through his mind: "It's too bright!" (To be continued.) )
