Chapter 505 Naval Battle
In Guangling County, Yang Yishan also led 100,000 soldiers across the border of Xiao State overnight, and drove straight in with Xiao Liming's seal, surrender letter, etc., without even encountering any decent resistance.
Hearing the arrival of King Shang and Yang Yishan's promise, the soldiers started cheering!
In the rear, Yan Zhengqing led a small number of elites to fly directly to Wufeng City, and took control of the imperial capital of Xiao Kingdom, which was once the seat of Baofeng County. At dawn the next day, the Xiao Kingdom had already become a part of the Shang Kingdom.
At this time, Emperor Cai Guo was leading 300,000 elites and began to retreat——Li Yulong later copied his hometown!
Emperor Cai's eyes were fierce, and every time he saw or heard the names of Li Yulong or Li Xian, he would grit his teeth. Things happened too fast and too intensely. Emperor Cai Guo never dreamed of this result.
The so-called backfire is probably the current situation!
Xiao Liming surrendered to the Shang Kingdom without integrity, that's all, but Li Yulong had already seen through his tricks - no wonder Li Yulong was so quiet after the last war.
Emperor Cai Guo looked around, and there was only Xiang Bowen beside him. You can only ask for comments on blog posts.
Give Bowen a good opinion, "Arrest all the merchants in the surrounding Shang Kingdom and take them as hostages. At the same time, nationalize the wealth, materials, and arms of these merchants in the Shang Kingdom."
"Okay!" Emperor Cai immediately agreed, and asked Wang Zongbao, the head of the bodyguard, to arrest him.
Many merchants in the Shang Kingdom were well prepared, and their own cultivation and guards were not bad; but Wang Zongbao was the head of the royal bodyguard after all, and he was leading the royal bodyguards, and they attacked suddenly. Most of the merchants were caught off guard and arrested.
But there are also individual escapes. For example, Wang Linyuan, who has been active in the land of Cai Guo and is almost half a spy, ran away immediately. After running away, contact Li Xian urgently.
No need to think about it, Li Xian was furious and livid upon receiving the news. With a sudden slap on the table, even Zhao Guo's negotiating envoys were taken aback by Li Xian's action, and Ji Buxian almost jumped up.
King Xian, why are you so angry? !
Li Xian held back his anger and said the matter again. Then he said: "Mr. Sun Ming Sun's kidnapping has not been found out yet, and this Cai Guo is here again! This matter must be given a strong response, otherwise we will learn how to kidnap in the future. The plan will be seriously affected!"
Li Yuanming also had a fierce look in his eyes: "King Xian, I think we should make an example! Since Cai Guo dares to kidnap our people, we will kill Cai Guo without leaving any behind!
Otherwise, it is not enough to warn those who have evil intentions! "
As he spoke, Li Yuanming quickly glanced at Zhao Guozhong's secretary Ji Buxian.
Ji Buxian frowned slightly, not knowing what Li Yuanming meant. Do you think Zhao Guo did the kidnapping of Sun Ming? Or, is this a demonstration against Zhao Guo?
Xu Ren was also very tough this time, "King Xian, use Lei Zhenzi. The two consecutive kidnappings have already had a serious impact on the stability of the Shang Kingdom and greatly damaged everyone's confidence.
Therefore, we need to use the strongest means to make up for this loss! "
In public, Xu Ren and others called Li Xian "Xian Wang". Only in private will they call "Young Master" to get closer to each other.
Lei Zhenzi? Ji Buxian's heart immediately lifted up. Ji Buxian came a bit late, and did not see the so-called Lei Zhenzi explosion scene; but through various information, and having personally seen the destruction of the red copper mine, Ji Buxian still has a few thoughts on the so-called "Lei Zhenzi". Very appalling.
Now hearing Xu Ren's suggestion to use Lei Zhenzi to attack Cai Guo, Ji Buxian's ears perked up, and his eyes stared at Li Xian motionless.
Next, it's a matter of Li Xian's words!
Li Xian hesitated for a long time, "This way, first rescue the captured hostages. For this reason, we are willing to withdraw our troops and return to Guangling County. You can discuss the losses and so on as appropriate. After all the hostages are safe... kill!"
A killing word, what Li Xian said was full of evil spirits!
Ji Buxian rolled his eyes and got up immediately, "Your Majesty, how about letting us handle this matter? It may be more convenient for us to intervene in the negotiation as a third party."
Li Xian looked at Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, and Yan Ze'an, and the three nodded in agreement. Li Xian also smiled at Ji Buxian, "Then please trouble Mr. Ji."
"Should be, we have already formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Shang, and the affairs of the Kingdom of Shang are our affairs."
Immediately, the cooperation negotiations between Zhao Guo and Shang Kingdom could only be temporarily suspended. At the same time, Li Xian also contacted Li Yulong. Almost instantly, the war between the Kingdom of Shang, the Kingdom of Tang, and the Kingdom of Cai ceased.
As for Xiao Guo, it has completely surrendered. On the political map, there is no power of Xiao country anymore.
…………
The northwestern direction of the Shang Kingdom was turbulent, and the Chen Kingdom was facing a political incident of the replacement of the throne. The Deng and Zheng countries in the north also began to send troops to the border of the Cai Kingdom, just in case.
In the south of the Shang Kingdom, the war between Liu Guo and Jin Guo started again.
Along the border between Liu State and Jin State, more than 300,000 elite soldiers from both sides, and an ordinary army of one million troops started the battle. Compared with previous wars, the current war has more arms besides masters of cultivation, spells, formations, and strategies.
At the same time, the domestic reforms in the Liu State have not yet ended. The reforms have made the Liu State stronger, and the people have increasingly supported the country's construction. With the progress of the reform, a large number of businessmen rose up. These new businessmen did not have so many intrigues, and they devoted themselves to the national construction of Qi State.
The common people and businessmen joined forces to continuously send various military supplies to the front line of Qi State. However, Jin also mobilized a large amount of military supplies because of the large amount of railway support built by the Kingdom of Shang. The border between the two countries can be said to be evenly matched.
But because of the input of arms, this so-called half-baked, but also suffered heavy casualties, with corpses strewn all over the field.
At the same time, a new type of war is going on in the eastern sea of Jin.
General Zhang Jianchao of the Liu Kingdom stood on the bow of the flagship, commanding 13 warships of different sizes under him, and began to turn the muzzle, aiming at the dark shadows at the end of the line of sight that were almost covered by the waves—there was the fleet of the Jin Kingdom!
Behind the thirteen warships, there are 18 refitted merchant ships, which are responsible for transporting supplies and so on.
In the north, Cheng Liqiu, the newly appointed admiral of the Jin State, also led 15 large and small warships and 12 refitted commercial ships to sail south.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Cheng Liqiu looked far into the distance, and the Liu Guo fleet was already faintly visible under the binoculars.
Originally, Cheng Liqiu was just a small partial general, but because he was attacked by the artillery of warships, and he also stayed in the Shang Kingdom and studied the warships of the Shang Kingdom, and Cheng Liqiu himself had extraordinary military talents. This naturally became the first generation of admirals.
And in the depths of the ocean, there are still the fleet of the Shang Kingdom and people from the Dragon Palace watching; of course, for such an unprecedented war, there are many representatives from other countries watching, even inland countries come to watch and learn more about arms. strength.
Many monster races in the sea poked their heads to watch the fun-gossip thoughts, but there is no limit to race.
Liu Guojin's fleets approached quickly. The warships on both sides were all second-generation warships, and even first-generation ironclad ships. The fastest speed was 60 kilometers. But the flagships of both sides are 356mm cannons, which are powerful enough to blow up the weak Nascent Soul stage masters head-on.
However, Liu Guo's warships are newer and more powerful.
…………
Further south, 40,000 kilometers away, a naval battle is about to break out between Wu and Yue.
At the last moment, the Yue State fleet suddenly slowed down, which made the Wu State Fleet finally block the Yue State Fleet sailing south.
The Shang Kingdom's fleet immediately left the Yue Kingdom's fleet, sailed to the depths of the sea, and watched from afar. It means we don't interfere.
Wu Daqian, the former naval commander of the state of Wu, and now the current naval commander, laughed when he saw the Shang Kingdom's fleet leave. Then he commanded the four warships under his command to turn their guns and stop the thirteen warships of Yue State.
Wu Daqian flew high into the sky and shouted: "Yu Aixian, today I will let you be completely buried in the sea and turn into a carefree little fish. Haha, aim for me and prepare to fight!"
However, when Wu Daqian was proud, he suddenly realized that the situation was not right. The thirteen warships of the Yue Kingdom were suddenly crowded with people.
Thirteen warships with complete combat capabilities, compared to four warships with relatively hasty preparations!
