Chapter 2148: The Battle of Holy Light City

Shengguang City is also a very important city for the Southern Empire, not only because of the large population here, but also because this place is one of the most important transportation hubs on the Luan River. , it is really possible that the people of Cao's House can go straight up from here, and they can attack most of the cities below the Southern Empire. This is the worst nightmare for the Southern Empire, so it is absolutely not allowed This kind of thing has become a reality, and most people have seen what the Cao family firm wants to do. The high-level officials of the Southern Empire also want to have a controllable war with the people of the Cao family firm in Shengguang City. They also know that this time The outcome of the war will definitely determine the future direction, because if the war fails, they will have no room to pay back. At that time, the Southern Empire may have to lose one-fifth or even more of the empire's territory in exchange for Cao Cao. If it is possible now, it is estimated that it would be enough to lose one-twentieth of the truce, but it is correct that the high-level officials of the Southern Empire did not know this. The troops of the Jiajia Commercial Bank were killed here, and this place will definitely become an end point of the Cao Family Commercial Bank. It is impossible to continue to compete with the Southern Empire here. This is not the southern coast, Cao Cao It is impossible for the people of the Cao family firm to love this place and succeed, that is, because most of the top officials of the Southern Empire think so, so they may really fail. This place has also become the battleground between the Southern Empire and the Cao family firm. The last battle, known as the Battle of Holy Light City in history, was also the most tragic battle that broke out between the two sides.

The battle started in three stages. In the initial stage, the person in charge sent by Cao's firm was Wu En, commander of the navy's second fleet, as the main attack leader, and the Marine Corps' No. The people in the first division have become affiliated. Because the first stage was mainly to clear some ships on the Luan River, the Marine Corps can be said to have nothing to do at this stage. Although hundreds of thousands of troops were killed, most of them were from the Southern Empire. The army rushed towards their barracks. With the help of a dozen airships. Killing these troops means that there is nothing worth promoting, but the combat performance at sea is remarkable. There is nothing wrong with being caught in the sea of ​​ships arranged by the Southern Empire. Those in power in the Southern Empire wanted to turn this place into a battlefield, so they gathered about 30,000 ships of various kinds. up. The largest is a 1,000-ton ship. There are more than 3,000 such ships. Most of these ships are the former transport ships of the Cao's House. After these ships were captured by the people of the Southern Empire, because of Some of the modern things in it would not be used, so each of these ships was decorated with style and turned into an old-fashioned sailing ship. The main method of their sea attack in this era is to get close and send their own personnel to the opponent's ship. If this attack method is facing the enemy of this era, there should be no problem, but facing the Cao family The army of the commercial bank is not enough. Their attack can be said to be thousands of years behind the artillery attack of the Cao's commercial bank.

Wu En was born in the Navy of the Eastern Empire. When the army of Cao's House of Commerce attacked the navy led by Wu En, they used this method to attack the navy of Cao's House of Trade. That's less than a hundred, but now the artillery on both sides adds up to more than two hundred and fifty. Such a number is a very scary number for them.

And at that time, none of these gunners did anything. These gunners were not very proficient. At that time, a gunner used at most less than 100 rounds of training ammunition. This accuracy needs to be improved, but now It's different. These people can be said to be veterans. They can easily kill those targets. This kind of ability is still very good. If they fight against those people now, they will definitely have a good result. Yes, such a situation occurred at that time because the fleet of Cao's House was not very familiar with this kind of coordinated operations, but even the original kind of separate battles could make the fleet of the Eastern Empire led by Wu En at that time The entire army of the division was destroyed. Now they have trained the fleet for a long time. It is definitely not something that the improvised navy of the Southern Empire can solve. Since these troops dare to come to the river, their result is already doomed , that is to be completely annihilated, and Wu En has no mercy for them. This is what this era is like, and they will be beaten if they fall behind.

On the first day of the Southern Empire, the Duke of Katara led more than 10,000 ships of various types to face the battle, because the lake around the Holy Light City has been enlarged, so if you don’t look carefully here , I thought it was on the sea, and Wu En was very satisfied with the situation here. Since there is such a big place, you can't catch up with me, and you can't beat me. I want you to pay a good price. Someone on the other side has already sent a message that if Wu En surrenders honestly, their million sailors will be able to let them go back honestly, but this kind of thing is for anyone. It is impossible to say that your million-strong army is the same as nothing when it reaches the water. Although your ships are the same size, you can tell by looking at your weapons. You still use bows and arrows to follow some A weapon like a small trebuchet, such a thing is a little threat to the warships of Cao's House, except for the trebuchet, and there is nothing else. This is impossible. If you want to use this, you can defeat it. The people of Cao’s House, stop dreaming. At the beginning of the war, many people in the Southern Empire believed that they could win. Two squadrons meant more than 20 warships. The army of the Southern Empire is dozens of times larger than theirs, but they don't think about it. Almost every battle, your millions of people are driven away by our hundreds of thousands of people, just like sheep. You don't remember the result. m

Wu En observed the surface of the river at that time, and the army of the Southern Empire wanted to divide into two groups to outflank it. The width of the river around here has reached nearly 20 kilometers, and the depth of the water is no problem, and there is no need to even investigate. In the past, the transport ships of Cao's House had already taken some of the situation here. It is very clear to explore. Where there is such a reef underwater is a very certain thing. They are very familiar with these things, and the Southern Empire also has its own plans. They just hope to encircle the warships of Cao's House, and then they can fight to consume them. Anyway, they have a lot of ships, as long as the warships of Cao's House are besieged by them. No matter how powerful they are, the final result will definitely be eaten, that is, the loss will be greater. Wu En of Cao's House also knows about this, so he will never do it like this. What he has to do is Let the people of the two fleets divide into two columns and rush directly to the queue of the Southern Empire. The speed must not be slowed down, go in and kill seven in and seven out, then the navy of the Southern Empire will collapse directly, and there may be no need for seven in and seven out at all. Seeing how powerful the navy of Cao's House is, they probably don't have the will to fight. This kind of cooperation is especially important when fighting at sea. At sea, if a ship escapes, it will flee with the surrounding ships. Not everyone can afford this result.

The Marine Corps has also received Wu En's order. The order given to them is to stand firm and wait for help. They are also the only land army that can attack the city so far. They must not be given by the army of the Southern Empire. Killed, once the war starts, no matter what the situation is at sea, the troops on land are not allowed to take any action, they can only stay there honestly, if there are troops from the Southern Empire around, as long as they don’t come Don't worry about those who attack you. The navy will take care of things at sea. You just need to keep yourself safe. I also left two airships for them. These two airships are tools for them to use for investigation. , They must also know the trend of the navy at all times. If the navy is really defeated, they must build a larger area, because the people in the navy die, and their pressure will definitely come over immediately. They want Standing firm and waiting for help, they waited until the army of Cao's House came over. Therefore, for them, if the navy was destroyed, they would not be able to persist for a long time under the siege of a large number of troops from the Southern Empire. The final result was also defeated. Killed, so for the war at sea, they are definitely paying close attention to it, and they must not make any mistakes, otherwise, they will really have no way out, and it is not a small matter for anyone Yes, especially the Marine Corps, it is absolutely impossible for them to take down the Holy Light City with the strength of one of their divisions. It is unrealistic, and no one has that idea.

"Keep a distance from them. We must not get caught up in their entanglement. Although we are all equipped with hand crossbows, our number is still too small. They will feel uncomfortable even if they exchange a hundred people for one of us. It’s very worthwhile, we just have to persist for 30 hours, after 30 hours our army will have reinforcements, if we can’t hold on, they will be prepared, and we will not be able to cause any consequences Yes, although we have already caused a lot of panic to the people of Shengguang City in the past few days, we have also used a lot of shells. This war is definitely not a little bit, tell the following Brothers, you have to aim before you fight, otherwise you may really run out of ammunition and food, and it is so helpless to go deep into the enemy's rear." Wu En said to his deputy, the fleet commander of another squadron, the two of them In the past, they all came out of the navy of the Eastern Empire, and they didn't pay much attention to this war. In their view, this is not a war at all. This may be a massacre, but no matter what It is said that everything here is not so easy to deal with, especially seeing today's huge fleet, tens of thousands of ships of all sizes are in front of him, and there are only a dozen or so ships on his side. It's unbearable. Looking at the shores on both sides, they are all troops from the Southern Empire. Except for the underwater, they are all from the Southern Empire. If they can't win, they have no other choice but to feed the fish. , very helpless.

"We brought a lot of shells, because we were determined to blow up the Holy Light City into a waste area before. There is only another problem, that is, if we advance in two columns, we will have to turn around." The leeway is much less. On the map, we set sail from store a, and we have to come back at point x. But what if we all arrive at that place at the same time. We must have a fleet watching there Then, the other fleet began to turn around. This may give the enemy an opportunity due to the weakening of firepower, so I suggest that our two fleets should be formed into a column, which is also a threat to them .Although our attack may be lowered by a notch, it is much safer for us.” I didn’t expect the Southern Empire to get so many troops before, so some of their arrangements at this time seem a little bit Something is wrong, so certain modifications must be made, and this is what must be modified. For them, it is not impossible to temporarily modify the combat agreement. It may be very troublesome to just notify, but a little trouble is better than a big loss. Just like now, they have to adjust. Otherwise, it is possible to lose one-half of the troops. As long as it is possible, they can't do it. To be honest, they don't know where their future is. It's too big, almost reaching a ratio of 1 to 500, and the combat power is strong. Under such a ratio, it is difficult to do much, and they all know that such a result is terrible.

When Wu En was a thousand years ago, he admired this kind of military method very much. He thought that on Guangdong, he would attack according to manpower. How many people are there on the ship? If this kind of thing really develops like that, it is estimated that the army of Cao's House of Firms will not have any hope of winning. They will go according to their ideas. Since they can't go according to their way, Cao's firm will have its own set of combat methods, which is to let their troops quickly intersperse among their warships. With their own rapid attack, so that their people can't reach themselves at all, and it is impossible for some of their warships to rush to their side, then they may win in the end. Of course, if you want all It is impossible to wipe out these people, just to break their will to fight. At that time, reinforcements from Cao's House will come. If they still fight like this, it is estimated that they may be killed. It was completely annihilated, and the entire army of the Cao's House of Merchant was very much in favor of this method. For them, they knew this way of fighting very well, and these people were also proficient in facing such battles. At that time, the tens of millions of sailors in the Eastern Empire were killed in that way, but the difference now is that one is at sea and the other is in the inland river. There are still some things that need to be paid attention to.

When at sea, you don’t need to pay attention to the speed of the ship and the edge. It’s not good here. After all, this is an inland river. Although it is already very wide, sometimes it is completely different from the sea. Some places here have edges, and the places very close to the shore have the army of the Southern Empire. If they get too close, their bows and arrows will be ignited and shot towards this side. If it is on fire, some things will be a little difficult to handle. On the one hand, they have to pay attention to the fire, and on the other hand, they have to watch over the enemy's attack. They also have their own ideas on this aspect, that is, they can't take detours, and if they go in a straight line, although the attack of Cao's House will be a little scattered, but the same word Changlong composed of more than 20 warships will also Let the army of the Southern Empire not find a good time to attack, and they will not know where to start. Only in this way can the army of the Southern Empire be dispersed. In this way, it is still the people of Cao's firm It's relatively bright, after Wu En's battle plan is set, the entire fleet will start to operate. There must be no delay at this time, because if you go out like this before the enemy is ready, you will definitely deal them a tragic blow. Yes, if they are ready, I don't know what the situation will be. The Duke of the Southern Empire over there probably doesn't know that the people of Cao's House are ready.

Don't look at the people of the Southern Empire facing a huge ocean, but their navy is actually a nuclear fleet. Although there are quite a few ships, they have no experience at all. For them, it is no problem to bully the common people to collect taxes. But against the navy of such a powerful Cao's firm. They never even thought about it, this time they came to resist the navy of Cao's firm. In their view, they must win because the gap between the armies of the two sides is too great, but no one wants their men to be the first wave of people to attack, because most of the people who go up in the first wave will Become cannon fodder. These people are all like hedgehogs. It is impossible to fight against them. I don’t know how many people will be killed by them, so they all think that others will rush to fight them, and then they will fight against them. It's good to go up and pick up cheap, but if everyone thinks that way, it won't be so easy to do. Someone must be sacrificed. The first batch of 2,000 large ships that rushed up were the ones who were going to be sacrificed. The soldiers on top of them were all trembling with fear. Look at the black black stick out from the warship of Cao's House They are already very scared of the cannon. I have never seen such a thing before. I heard that the kind of shells fired by this thing only need one to sink the ship under their feet. In fact, the ship under their feet seems to them to be Very good, they have never used it before, but now they know the difference between a merchant ship and a warship when they see the warships of Cao's House.

Because they don't know how to use the motor on it, they can't make the boat run fast. They can only turn the boat into that kind of sailboat again. If this speed is normal, it feels like It's not too slow, but now it looks like an ant compared to the warships of Cao's House. They were still far away from me just now. Why did they come to me in a short while? Such a skill It really surprised me, and another thing is why there is a sense of oppression when other people's warships come over. Their number is only one percent of ours, but people like me used to have no sense of oppression, but I The people on the side feel very scared, especially when those gun barrels come out, they are even more scared. Although these people don't know how they attacked when they saw those gun barrels, they can imagine it, after all They also have a lot of people who came back from the front line. According to what those people said, don't look at how many people you have. If you are not careful, the people from Cao's House can easily kill you , don't think this is a joke with you, it may become true, these things are often like this in front of you, and you don't know the final result yet, but you lose first psychologically, Wu En knew it when he saw the expressions on their faces. The shelling a few days ago had paid off. If you want to fight against us, you must first defeat yourself. If you can't defeat yourself, you can only It's bad luck.

"Quick interlude, I must rush over in half an hour. No matter what kind of warships are encountered on both sides, I will sink them all. They must not be allowed to approach. Prepare fifty soldiers on each side of the ship. Equip them all with the strongest chain crossbow. As long as you see a ship approaching us, kill everyone on it immediately. Even if their ship comes, it doesn’t matter as long as there is no one on it. , if their weapons hit us, they must be dealt with as soon as possible. Once our warships are no longer capable of combat, they will immediately withdraw from the column. You cannot let all the fleets be buried with you just because one of your ships made a mistake." Wu En issued his own order, and the soldiers on the ship also went to their positions. There are four super chain crossbows on the deck of the warship, and two soldiers operate one. With such a thing, even if the enemy ship approaches, It is not that simple for them to board the warships of Cao's House, they can definitely be torn apart in the first place, and the withdrawal of the injured warships from the column is actually announcing their death. At that time, the navy of Cao's Commercial Bank would definitely not make such a decision, but it is also an act of no choice now. If not, there may be a lot of damage in the end. What we have to do now is to sacrifice Some people can make most people survive. It is very cruel for a commander to make such a decision, but if you don't do it that way. Things are really difficult.

Seeing that the warships of Cao's House began to change, the navy of the Southern Empire (of course, that's the name, if they can also become a navy) is ready. At this time, they felt the helplessness of their own people. Because they don't have the initiative to start the war, they can only wait here. There is no possibility at all to hold the war in their own hands, and they all set sail. At this time, it can be seen how useless these people are, in order to compete for the front seat. At this time, the ships lost the momentum they had just now. They all wanted to run out of these ships, because the gathering is too tight now. They knew that if the artillery came over, they could directly Bombing down all the ships around them is absolutely unacceptable, just because they have such a selfish heart. So it's not that simple for them to rush out. These people all feel that the ships around them are competing with themselves. It is estimated that they can do it without the warships of Cao's House, that is, this when. The artillery of Cao's House began to greet them, the artillery fired, and a shell hit the center of dozens of ships. This time it was considered a boil, and the surrounding ships were overturned directly That's right, the one in the middle is the most unlucky one, it split open immediately, and the sea water quickly went in, followed by dozens of other shells, the first round of attack won a complete victory.

The first attack frightened most of the people in the Southern Empire. They never thought that such a thing would happen. In their opinion, they can kill the warships of Cao's House with a single sip of saliva. Those who were killed, who knew that they didn't kill them, but made the people on their side become like this. Several leaders hurriedly called their own people to rush up, but their words made those people rush to the place of fear , What are you rushing to do? Didn’t you see the attack of the people from Cao’s House just now? What we have to do now is not to rush up, but to leave here quickly. It’s best if we can run farther. If we can run to the warship of Cao’s House It would be the best place outside the range of the cannons on board, but the result would not be very good, as you can see now, some people want to go to the front, while others want to go to the back, this ship It's all mixed together, one by one you don't know what to say, each of these people don't know what to do, they look at these people in front of them and want to put their own People are killed, it seems that their opponents are no longer the people of Cao's House, but these people in front of them. Once they regard their own people as opponents, what danger will such people have? Naturally, the warships of Cao's House would not give up such a good opportunity. Twenty ships began to bombard the wooden boats here fiercely, and one after another was hit, even if they were not hit. Yes, but those who were too close to the explosion point were also overturned into the water, and their losses were really much greater.

The officers of the Southern Empire yelled vigorously to let the people below follow the actions they had agreed at the beginning, but the artillery attack made them no longer have that idea. At this time, several ships on the edge saw that they could go out. Hope, they immediately began to pull up the sails. If these people can quickly run to the warship of Cao's House, they can definitely cause a little trouble for the warship of Cao's House, but they don't have that idea, what they have to do It turned out to be escaping, that's right, fleeing in the direction of Shengguang City. The people on board were all troops from Shengguang City. They didn't want to defend the city at all. When they saw the warship of Cao's House, they knew that it was impossible to fight , nor is it an opponent. If there is a real fight, the final result will be to be killed. This situation cannot be allowed to happen, so their ship boss immediately decided that if they want to run, they must not stay. Several rounds of shelling have passed Thousands of people died, so many people died within a minute of the war, and more people fell into the water. It is estimated that these people would not survive, and they must die in it. For these people As far as people are concerned, they died in the hands of their own people. If the boats next to them could only drop a rope, they might survive, but none of these ropes came down. For them, their own I don’t know what happened to life. The life and death of these people has nothing to do with us. If you fell into the water and drowned, that’s your own business. Who told you that your luck is bad. If your luck is good, you won't go into the water, and now there is such a result, it can only depend on the fate of the individual. The rest is like this.

Ten minutes into the fight. Wu En's fleet has already advanced about 4,000 meters, during these ten minutes. They fired a total of 12,450 shells, and they ran to the middle of these fleets. The nearest warship of the Southern Empire is also a few kilometers away, according to their current speed. After a few minutes, they may penetrate these warships. According to Wu En's tactics, they will immediately turn around and rush back again. It is estimated that such a charge will cause these thousands of warships to enter chaos. In fact, those people are already in chaos now, and they were able to maintain a stable direction at the beginning. But now it is all contradictory. It is not so easy to start the event. Just when Wu En thought they had won, everything changed from before. The walls of the Holy Light City emitted white light. Damn it, magic cannons. This was Wu En’s first thought. Indeed, these are the twenty magic cannons on the Holy Light City. The attack power of this thing is the same as Like the laser cannons on the earth, it will definitely not have much effect against a large-scale army, but it is no problem to deal with such a small fleet. Wu En immediately sent the airship in the sky to use these magic weapons If the cannon is killed, he himself will make the warships speed up. If these guys are targeted, he will definitely have the ability to kill them. Such things must not be allowed to happen. They cannot die by magic in the hand of the cannon.

The first attack of the magic cannon was very powerful. Several water columns with a height of several tens of meters appeared on the river, but they were still hundreds of meters away from the warships of Cao's House. Wu En knew that these people were all They shoot blindly, so when they attack next time, it is estimated that their own ships will be injured or even sunk. They will definitely adjust their shooting elements. If they are adjusted well, it will be when they are hit Well, it will take at least a few minutes for the airship of Cao's House to fly in the past. If they transfer with magic cannons, they will still not be able to hit them. The weapons used by the merchant's army, the magic cannon is one of the most powerful things. Although each cannon costs hundreds of thousands of silver, the price is very high, but the Holy Light City is too important to the Southern Empire. , even if it costs millions of silver per shot, they will pay this money. The round of salvo just now cost eight million taels of silver. Just one experiment is such an expensive expense. If this continues If so, I still don’t know what will happen. They all adjusted quickly one by one, but before they adjusted, the artillery of Cao’s House had already arrived first, and dozens of shells exploded here. , although the magic cannon was not smashed, it also made them feel the danger, and the warships of Cao's House are changing their positions, in order to let more artillery point to this side, once it is adjusted If it is good, there will be artillery like raindrops coming.

"Don't worry about their attack, shoot me, see clearly, they are also afraid, if they are not afraid, they will definitely not care about you, the magic cannon in your hand is our most important tool now, give me Hit them, let them know how powerful we are, we also have weapons to deal with them, let those sailors stop watching there, what time is it now, tell them, hurry up and rush over now, Their task is not to watch there, let them rush up for me, while they are firing magic cannons, that is, when they are attacking, they will be the first batch of characters to defeat the Cao family's navy, and they will all become empires. Heroes." The Duke on the city wall shouted vigorously, he also let the magic cannon fire just in case, but he didn't expect this thing to be really good, these things have been forgotten, it can be said that Nan The peace of the empire has been too long, and now it can be done. Those people have something to restrain them. After receiving the order from the Duke, these ships, which were originally very chaotic, finally knew what to do. What's the matter, they all felt that it is indeed time to seize the opportunity. If they can seize this opportunity, they will definitely be able to deal a blow to the warships of Cao's House, but if they fail to seize this opportunity, they will Maybe they will be killed. When it comes to their own heads, no one will delay the matter. They all rushed towards the Cao's House. Now the biggest danger of the Cao's House is coming. .

"Hold on, divide into two teams, No. 112 and No. 113 attack the magic cannons on the city wall with all their strength, and the rest of the ships continue to intersperse with me. You must not mess up our formation. You are all behind 112 and 113." I'll keep up, your task is the magic cannon on the city wall, they are not allowed to play another round, if they do, you should use your own hulls to block me, tell their captains, you must keep up , if they fall behind, they know what will happen.” Wu En made a correct decision at this time, compared with the warships below, the magic cannon above can be said to be a thing that disturbs their sight. It doesn't have much effect at all, and these things are not very dangerous to them. The damage these things bring to them is just a little bit. Their magic cannons only have more than 20, and those gunners have not been trained , They are not very good in terms of shooting accuracy or speed. As long as the people of Cao's House can keep up with the speed, their strike ability is not very good. For the people of Cao's House, as long as they strictly follow Wu If you do what En said, you won’t suffer any disadvantages. It is absolutely impossible to be entangled. If you are entangled by these warships below, they really can’t run out. The density of these warships is really high. It's too big, and now their artillery doesn't need to be aimed at all. Anyway, as long as it is fired, the clan can hit the target. Of course, this target is not what they thought, and they hit it casually.
