Text Chapter 1141: Xu Jiantao's Naval Warfare

On December 5th, Philip, Marshal of the Great Merchant Empire of the Tianji Continent, ordered the assembly of all troops in the Xishan Province. A military order mobilized 300,000 garrison troops from the Qianshan City of the former Blackstone Empire. A total of 1.1 million troops were assembled in Xiping Mansion. At the same time, Feili mobilized almost all the large and small warships of the Great Merchant Empire, a total of more than 6,500 ships, and even many heavy fishing boats were erected with earth cannons, set up watchtowers, and transformed into For the temporary warships, hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited to work day and night.

...

The news was sent back to Nagagaki Island.

The heavy snow is still rustling, on the east coast of Changgaki Island, Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Wei Chou and others are cruising on horses, and in the distance in the sea are warships practicing battle formation on the water, shouting and killing one after another .

"Fei Li has almost prepared everything, and within half a month, he will definitely come for cover-up." Wei Chou said.

"I've been waiting for him for a long time." Lin Muyu smiled meaningfully.

Feng Jixing patted the snow on his shoulder and said: "There is another piece of news. I don't know if it's true or not, but it should be true. Chen Yumi ordered his 200,000 Heavenly Jue Bing to leave Xiping Mansion and go to Huo Yuan Xing is saved, this Chen Yu is really exhausted, he should have seen through our scheme, so he wants to preserve his own strength."

"The 200,000 Heavenly Absolute Army?" Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Who controls it?"

"Huang Wanxin, an unknown person."

"The Tianjue Empire is full of talents, so don't underestimate them..." Lin Muyu asked, "Brother Feng, is there any news about Chen Yu in our military situation? Will he continue to stay in Xiping Mansion and join Philip in the sea battle?" , or left?"

Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "Fei Li left eight thousand old, weak, sick and disabled defenders, and ordered Chen Yu to stay and guard Xiping Mansion."

"That's good news."

"Yeah, without Chen Yu, our chances of winning the naval battle are even greater!"

Lin Muyu pulled the reins of the horse, turned to look at Tang Zhen not far behind, and said, "Commander Tang Town, come here."

"Shuai Lin, do you have an order?"

Tang Zhen left his beloved wife Linghuyan, stepped forward and cupped his fists respectfully, "Your subordinate is here."

"There will be Chen Yu leading 8,000 defenders in Xiping Mansion. Chen Yu is not a simple person. Once you capture Xiping Port, don't act rashly. Wait until the main force of the army arrives before attacking Xiping City, understand?"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

Linghuyan also came on horseback, with a worried look in his eyes, he said: "His Royal Highness, we will fight next time... But please don't let my husband be an advance army, he is over half a hundred years old, he can't stand Please be considerate, Your Highness, for the fierce fighting and turbulence."

She still couldn't change her words from time to time, and still called Lin Muyu His Royal Highness Yu.

Lin Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Linghu, Tangzhen's mission is actually the easiest and safest. With Philip's bravery, he will definitely fight us at sea. The sea battle is the most dangerous. On the contrary. Commander Tang Zhen led a fleet to surprise the empty Xiping Port, but it is the safest, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Commander Tang Zhen, he is well versed in the art of war, so he should understand this truth.”

Tang Zhen smiled slightly: "Linghu, Shuai Lin is right. It is indeed Shuai Lin who took care of me for entrusting this task to me."

"That is, you are Xiaoxi's uncle, and you are also an important minister in the era of Emperor Qin Jin who left few in the empire. I will not let you be cannon fodder." Lin Muyu grinned, and snowflakes flew by and landed on his eyelashes , was a bit desolate, and murmured: "For things like cannon fodder, let me do it myself..."

"Shuai Lin, you..." Tang Zhen was a little stunned.

Feng Jixing smiled lightly: "Linghu, you don't know. The most dangerous thing in this battle is the two baits Qian Feng and Xu Jiantao, and the second most dangerous thing is the main fleet under the command of Ah Yu. Millions of troops, even if the heads are pumpkins waiting for us to chop, it is not so easy to chop them off, not to mention that they will fight back and bite."

Linghu Yanxiang's shoulders trembled, and said: "Your Highness Yu, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry..."

"What are you talking about?"

Maybe it was too cold, Lin Muyu shivered, and said: "Go back to rest earlier, the army of the Shang Kingdom will not consume too much food and ammunition, and they will come soon."

"yes!"

...

Four days later, on December 9, the drums in Xiping Port were rumbling, and the densely packed warships, consisting of a fleet of hundreds of ships, left the harbor one after another. Manpower is used to step on the wheels and paddles to drive forward. More than 60 large fleets are divided into two groups, one for Jiufeng Island and the other for Green Rock Island.

On Changgaki Island, the news came quickly.

"What? They are divided into two groups?!"

Feng Jixing took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Muyu with cold eyes: "Oops... Why did Fei Li, an idiot, split into two groups? This disrupted our overall plan!"

"It must be Chen Yu's suggestion. As the saying goes, eggs can't be put in the same basket. Chen Yu must have thought so. If it weren't for Chen Yu, with Philip's IQ, he would never have thought of dividing up the attack."

Lin Muyu stood on the handsome platform dumbly, let go of the letter bird he just got in his hand, took a deep breath, and didn't continue to speak.

"The battle is imminent, but the marshal is talking." Xiang Yu was a little anxious: "Fei Li has divided his troops. Even so, each route has 500,000 troops, which is enough to destroy our troops. We should not underestimate them!"

"Divide the troops!"

Qin Yong, the commander of the Iron Blade Army, clasped his fists and said: "They divide the troops, and we divide the troops. The Great Qin Empire's ships are strong and powerful, so why not be afraid?"

"No, we can't divide our troops." Feng Jixing raised his hand and said, "Once we divide our troops, our losses will be incalculable. We only have 450,000 troops at sea. If we have all our troops at sea, what are we going to do to attack Xishan Province? If we can't land If we go to the land of Tianji Continent, our expedition will become meaningless."

"Then what else can we do?" Qin Yong was very anxious.

Feng Jixing was at a loss, and Guan Xing, Lin Xun, Luo Yu and others behind him were also silent.

In the end, everyone's eyes were on Lin Muyu. In the end, it still depends on how the marshal of the empire makes up his mind.

"Ah Yu?" Qin Yin was wearing soft armor and a robe fluttering in the wind, looking at Lin Muyu with concern, fearing that everyone would put too much pressure on him and crush his nerves.

Lin Muyu pondered for a while, then finally raised his head to look at the generals, and said: "There is a way! We beat him with a time lag, ordered Qianfeng's troops not to fight with the opponent, and circled Jiufeng Island with their 500,000 troops That's good, once they want to leave, attack immediately, and once they hit, they will flee immediately, dragging them like this, while the main fleet will destroy another main enemy force near Green Rock Island, and once they are destroyed, they will immediately reinforce Qianfeng, don't consider the reserves of the magic crystal cannon, this battle is to annihilate the opponent's vital force as quickly as possible, don't take any prisoners in this battle, end the battle quickly!"

"yes!"

The eyes of Feng Jixing, Xiang Yu and the others lit up. Lin Muyu could always come up with a suitable solution in the most difficult times.

"Immediately send the order down, beat the drums, and prepare for the battle. In half a day, Xu Jiantao and Qianfeng's army should have already fought their opponents."

"yes!"

...

The battle is raging, and there is no room for too much slowness. The densely packed merchant fleet in the East China Sea is coming against the wind. To them, 200 miles is only half a day. After noon, more than 3,000 warships arrived at Green Rock Island. But Xu Jiantao led nearly a thousand warships from the headquarters to fight. The heavy snow stopped, and even a ray of sunlight in the sky pierced through the clouds and shone on the sea.

"Sunshine...the sun came out..."

Xu Jiantao raised his head, accepted the sunshine, and said with a smile, "That's great, that's great..."

The heavy artillery of the Great Qin Empire has been improved many times by Qin Ziling and others. Compared with the heavy artillery of the Shang Dynasty, it has a longer range, higher precision, and greater power, and these are all based on a clear field of vision. The magic crystal cannon can accurately hit targets within nearly 2000 meters, and the medium-sized magic crystal cannon can also bomb within 1000 meters, which is far superior to the heavy artillery of the Shang Kingdom.

In the distance, the dark battleships on the sea level galloped towards them. There was no wind at this time, and the speed of the human-driven ships was a bit scary.

"They are coming!"

Nangong Lie seemed a little excited.

Ice Palm and Fire Fist stood on both sides of Xu Jiantao, looking at the enemy in the distance calmly.

"Just in time!"

Xu Jiantao raised the binoculars made of bamboo tubes, squinted his eyes, and said, "The enemy's flagship is 4,500 meters away from us, wait a minute, concentrate firepower on their flagship later, let's destroy Philip's prestige first!"

"yes!"

On the mast, the observer also reported loudly: "Commander, the enemy flagship is approaching us 3,000 meters! The nearest ship is approaching 1,700 meters!"

"Continue to observe."

"yes!"

After a while, even the Great Mercantile War Flag hanging on the opponent's flagship can be seen.

"The enemy's flagship is close to 1800 meters, and the nearest ship is close to 1050 meters!"

"Command, the second echelon of warships begins!"

"yes!"

The flag bearer quickly issued the semaphore, and immediately the warships on both sides of the center where Xu Jiantao was located turned their warships horizontally, forming a horizontal bombardment posture, spitting out tongues of fire, aiming at 1,000 meters, and before the sound disappeared, there were blasts in the distance When the shock wave came, the power of the magic crystal cannon was so powerful that it swept the planks of the hull and shattered the hull, flying around and wreaking havoc.

With just one shelling, the merchant fleet in the distance appeared to be in disarray.

Xu Jiantao looked straight at the enemy flagship in the distance, and said: "The distance of the enemy flagship is 1700 meters, all the main guns of the first echelon will aim at it! The shelling will be fired according to the distance of 1600 meters and 1800 meters, and the shelling will be fired every half a minute. , attack in stages and correct the distance and angle by yourself, cover all possible positions of the enemy's flagship, implement straddle shooting tactics, and bombard Philip's flagship for Lao Tzu!"

"Yes, Commander!"

...

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of cannons continued, and mushroom clouds bloomed on the distant sea. The offensive of the Great Qin Empire Fleet was really scary! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
