Chapter 725 Comparison of Horrific Casualties
Captain Cornell glanced at Captain Lena, the meaning is very obvious, you see the accountability is coming.
Lina glared at Cornell, with a wild and sexy face, squeezed out a soft smile and said, "Captain Gordon, can you tell us why His Majesty summoned us?"
The king's envoy Gordon, with a standard poker face, replied coldly: "No."
"Captain Gordon is well-known for his loyalty to His Majesty. Captain Lena should stop embarrassing him. We are all serving His Majesty with no selfishness." Captain Cornell sang along side by side, "Your Majesty It’s nothing more than wanting to ask, for the fact that we lost the battle just now, it is an indisputable fact that we let the enemy go, no matter how angry His Majesty is and how to pursue responsibility, it is understandable, we will do our best to bear it.”
"I'm sorry, but I made things difficult for Captain Gordon." The smile on Captain Lena's face became softer, "I can't answer this question, so let's change the question, how does Your Majesty feel now?"
"What do you think?" Gordon asked blankly.
"Ahem..." Captain Lina's eyes flashed with anger, and he cursed in his heart.
If I know, do I still need to ask you?
The guy who is arrogant doesn't look at himself for what he is, he is just a jester, and he really regards himself as a plaything.
Don't think that others don't know about the nasty things you do in private. If you offend my old lady, they will all be revealed to you, so that you won't even know how to die.
"Your Majesty just broke his most beloved wine glass." After a few seconds, Gordon said coldly.
"Thank you Captain, I'll treat you to a drink when I go back." Captain Lina replied with a smile.
Gordon's sentence has already answered Lena's question in a disguised form. King Stubbs even smashed his favorite things that he always kept in his hands, so how furious he should be.
The situation was the worst they could imagine.
Gordon snorted and answered Captain Lena. He knew that the drinking was just a sign, and there would definitely be a bigger reward at that time. He turned and walked towards the warship when he came, "Please, the two captains, don't let Your Majesty Wait too long, I will wait for you at the battleship."
"Find a Yongye army leader's saber." Lina said to the guards beside her.
"What do you want to do?" Connell looked puzzled.
laugh! laugh! laugh!
Captain Lina tore large sections of his leather armor and replied, "Your Majesty is a wise person most of the time, but when anger dominates your emotions, it's easy to make things up for yourself. Regret for the extreme incident, we must find a way to cool down His Majesty's feverish mind, so that he will listen to our explanation."
"Captain, the knife you want." A guard brought up an Eternal Night Saber.
Looking at the Yongye Saber, Captain Cornell suddenly realized: "You mean to fake the injury, isn't this deceiving His Majesty?"
"Deceive Your Majesty? No, we call it helping Your Majesty understand the power of the Eternal Night Army's leading formation more clearly. Only in this way can Your Majesty make a correct judgment and layout in the next battle." Captain Lina spoke , has already slashed several times at his non-key position, especially the chest area, which has been cut open a large section, revealing a full outline, which is very eye-catching when combined with the miserable appearance now.
"But..." Captain Cornell always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for a while.
"I'll come? Or do you come by yourself?" Lena stared at Cornell coldly, as if you had already boarded a pirate ship and you had to do it if you didn't want to.
"I'll do it myself." Captain Cornell wisely took the Eternal Night Saber.
If Lina is allowed to come, who knows if the other party will give him a slap in the face in order to make their experience look more miserable.
Although Cornell had never done this kind of thing before, he really knew how to do it without a teacher, and soon he dealt with his appearance in a very miserable way, as if he was fighting the enemy bravely and surviving from death.
When they appeared in front of Captain Gordon in this brand new appearance.
Captain Gordon did not show any surprise, but glanced at the two with profound eyes, and then waved his hand to let the warship return to the flagship Izumo.
"Lina and Cornell are two idiots who have failed the king's trust in them and the East China Sea Kingdom's trust in them.
You see what they have done? With 20,000 of the most elite soldiers, they collapsed without a fight, and let the enemy run away helplessly.
The infantry of the third fleet of the king, just sacrificed in vain? Even if they are worthless pigs, they are not used in this way.
Bastard, if I want to chop them off with my own hands, I must chop them up with my own hands. "
Stubbs roared angrily, which could be clearly heard even half a mile away.
In his opinion, the whole beach fight was absurd and unbelievable.
The infantry of the two regiments of the Third Fleet failed to gain a firm foothold on the beach from beginning to end.
This can also be explained by the fact that the leader of the Eternal Night Army has sufficient preparations, and the two legions of the Third Fleet are just improvised mobs.
The collapse of the infantry of the two fleets led by Captain Lena and Captain Cornell is incomprehensible.
They landed smoothly, completed the encirclement, and had an absolute advantage in troops.
The miserable appearance of the two captains shocked Stubbs. He was well aware of the strength of the two generals. Was the previous battle so intense?
The Izumo where he was stationed was a bit far from the battlefield after all, and he could only see the general situation. As for what happened on the battlefield, it was still unknown.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the brothers don't do their best to fight, but that the enemy is too powerful. I once joined forces with Captain Cornell to lead the attacking team, but the opponent's army was more terrifying than we imagined. Fighting, the training has reached an unimaginable level. Many people work together to use tower shields to restrain the soldiers who are trapped in it. Let alone ordinary soldiers, even champion knights and great knights will be hacked to death by them.
I could only watch helplessly as Captain Calorie and Captain Earle died in front of me.
We rushed out of their army with all our might, not because we were afraid of life and death, but because we wanted to bring news back to His Majesty and warn His Majesty.
The Eternal Night army leader is more difficult than we expected. Not only is the well-trained army formation, but also has a very high level of research on magic. legal capacity. "
Seeing his bitter plan come into effect, Captain Lina didn't give Stubin a chance to be furious, and directly threw out the most shocking news.
Sure enough, when he heard the name Shujia, Stubin's expression froze, and he said coldly, "Shujia? Are you sure?"
"I'm not 100% sure." Seeing that Stubin's expression changed again, Captain Lena hurriedly added, "But it is an indisputable fact that the soldiers of Eternal Night have the ability to cast magic spells, except for the magic armor of the Witches' Secret Society. , I really can't think of another possibility."
"Could it be that the Eternal Night Army Leader has secretly formed an alliance with the Witches' Secret Society? The Witches' Secret Society shared its top-secret technology with the Yongye Army Leader? When did the Witches' Secret Society become so generous? They have also researched the Shujia for a few years. How could it be so easy? Hand out?" Stubbs muttered to himself.
Compared with the new opponent, the leader of the Eternal Night Army, he has a better understanding of the old opponent of the Witches' Secret Society, including their latest technology.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the roots are intertwined. There is me in you, and you in me. There are many spies and spies. It is too difficult to keep a secret.
"The black gunpowder led by the Yongye army also has its own unique features. It is not necessarily true that the two sides have exchanged technology back then. There are quite a few Yongye soldiers who can use spells, which shows that the popularity rate of surgery armor among them is quite high. This is by no means something that can be achieved overnight, so we must be more cautious in the future, who knows whether those women in the Witches' Secret Council have shared the manufacturing method of the iron-clad warship." Captain Lina said more and more Believe in the correctness of your guesses.
Because only in this way can it be clearly explained why the soldiers of Yongye used magic at critical moments.
This is far easier to accept than every Evernight soldier being a warlock.
"This group of lingering guys, even if we reach the East China Sea, we can't completely get rid of them." Stubin cursed viciously, then glared at Captain Lina and said, "Even if the soldiers of Yong Ye are all dressed Shujia is not the reason for you to let go of the gap without authorization and let them evacuate calmly, do you have anything else to say?"
"After the battle damage statistics of both sides come out, His Majesty will know why we ordered to open the gap and let them retreat." Captain Lina said with a sad face, "The proportion of battle damage is too large. On the entire battlefield, All I saw were the corpses of our soldiers, but there were very few of the other side. Is it worth keeping the infantrymen of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet destroyed?
At least I don't think it's worth it, because the war has just begun and other deployments haven't been fully in place yet.
And large-scale legion combat has never been what we are best at. Water battles, sneak attacks and sabotage are what we are best at.
We only need to break through their water defense line and defeat their water power. Jiangmen Port is a lone son hanging outside. No matter how powerful their infantry combat capabilities are, they will be trapped to death by us.
There are better options, why fight to the death when the situation is not favorable?
Preserving the vitality is what we need to do most at the moment. Anyway, our main purpose is to log in, and this is not already successful.
The most important thing is to keep the army strong enough. As long as this is ensured, no matter what the Yongye army leader does, he will have scruples. "
Captain Lina obviously had thought of a reason to deal with Stubin, so he opened his mouth.
"Your approach, from a strategic point of view, is indeed no problem, but I don't like the way you fooled me." Stubin's cold eyes fell on Captain Lena's wound, "Please pretend to be wound next time Sometimes, it should be done more realistically, the position and direction of the enemy's stabbing is different from that of your own."
"Your Majesty is wise, you can't hide anything from you." Lina said sincerely, "We never thought of fooling Your Majesty. We just want His Majesty to calm down and give us a chance to explain. We are willing to accept all punishments."
"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be avoided. Each of you will receive a hundred lashes. In view of the imminent battle, make a note for now, and you will be punished together after the victory." Stubin said coldly.
"Thank you Your Majesty, we will definitely fight the enemy bravely and make up for our mistakes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Kane."
Lena and Cornell hurriedly thanked each other.
They knew about this matter and temporarily exposed it.
If the next battle goes well and Jiangmen Port is successfully captured, the punishment of whipping may be avoided in the future.
If the battle is unfavorable, then no one will have a good fruit to eat, and this whipping is naturally irrelevant.
Soon the casualties of this beach blocking battle were counted.
A total of more than 6,500 soldiers in the East China Sea were killed, more than 1,800 were missing, and more than 5,000 were injured.
As for the exact number of casualties of the Yong Ye Army Commander, Stubin was not able to get it.
The Yongye army leader retreated too calmly, and the battlefield was cleaned up. Not only did they take away all the wounded, but they didn't even leave a few dead soldiers behind.
It can only be calculated based on the situation shown by the opponent. The overall casualties will definitely not exceed a thousand, otherwise the battlefield will not be cleaned so clean.
As Captain Lina said, such a comparison of battle damage is really scary.
Just looking at the numbers, Stubin felt terrified, not to mention the soldiers charging ahead, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Captain Lina made a smart decision to stop the loss in time.
He couldn't help worrying that the part of the East China Sea soldiers who were scattered to plunder the Dunau Plain, the infantry led by the Yongye Army was so cruel, they wouldn't suffer a lot, right?
But there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and with so many troops, they can't give up halfway because of a fierce blocking by the opponent, can they?
If this is the case, they will stay at home obediently in the future, and wait for the leader of the Yong Ye Army to come to the door!
The only thing Stubin could do was to send his special envoys to catch up with the scattered looting army and warn them that the infantry led by the Yong Ye Army was so brutal that they should not confront them head-on unless it was absolutely necessary.
I believe that those experienced old boatswains should understand what they mean.
In view of Captain Lina's prudence, which preserved the infantry in the East China Sea to the greatest extent, Stubin appointed her as the commander-in-chief of the infantry this time, and was fully responsible for the infantry's siege of Jiangmen Port.
Captain Lina, who was deeply aware of the ferocious combat power of the infantry led by the Yongye Army, was very cautious in the next deployment of troops. The 50,000-man fleet infantry who had landed and repaired, kept in a group and slowly advanced towards Jiangmen Port.
It goes hand in hand with the advancing speed of the East China Sea Fleet on the Donau River.
The East China Sea Fleet has indeed explored a set of demining methods.
This method of demining is really not complicated to say the least, but it is rather cumbersome.
First, the water ghosts were sent into the river to find a safe path, and then two small warships were sent side by side to drag the fishing nets to clear the mines violently.
It's a bit slower, but very effective.
The mines deployed in the Donau River, no matter how dense they are, are limited. If you push slowly, there will always be a moment when the mines are exhausted.
Naturally, it was impossible for the leader of the Yongye Army to sit back and watch them clear the mines so easily. The Explorer Navy would come out to harass them from time to time, and the Longbow Corps would also come out from time to time, raining rockets on the shore.
The results are average.
The three dreadnought-class sailing ships of the East China Sea Fleet followed closely behind the demining team. Once the Explorer Navy led by the Yongye Army attacked, they would not talk nonsense at all. All kinds of black powder shotguns and black powder barrel bombs Let's talk about it.
