Chapter 251 The Whole World Is Shocked! King Mi Asks for Peace!
Mi Daoyuan narrated the entire naval battle from beginning to end.
Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "This defeat is all my fault, please punish me, my lord."
At this time, Mi Daoyuan's heart seemed to be bitten by a poisonous snake. Because he really felt that the defeat was his fault.
Even along the way, he had been reflecting on the mistakes he made in this battle.
If he had ordered all the air corps to assemble at the beginning, and then launched a saturation attack on the fleet of Princess Li Yang.
For example, later, all the demon spirit bombs were directly fired instead of being divided into three batches.
These two were fatal mistakes.
If these two mistakes had not been made, the result of this battle would have been different.
The key is that these two mistakes are exactly the same.
They are all because of being too cautious and not daring to go all out and play this card all at once.
So in just a few days, Mi Daoyuan aged ten years.
"Please punish me, my lord." Mi Daoyuan knelt on the ground and cried again.
After hearing this, King Mi said nothing.
"Please punish me, my Lord." Mi Daoyuan kowtowed again.
Mi Wang said hoarsely: "In the battle of the White Bone Territory, if you put all your bets on it and threw all the martial arts corps into it and rushed into the dark area of the White Bone Territory, you would have lost everything, because the moment you entered the dark tree area, your mind would be blank for a short time. So at that time, you should remember one truth in your mind, tentative attack, don't throw it all out at once."
"So in this sea battle, you are more cautious, even if you have a trump card in your hand, you dare not play it all at once, but divide a small part to play it out first, play, test, and adjust at the same time. As a result, the experience last time was wrong this time."
"Are you wrong? Are you wrong?"
No one present had an answer.
Yes, was Mi Daoyuan wrong to do this?
Even Ying Que did the same thing. He did not dive into the seabed immediately to destroy the Mi family's aircraft carriers and air corps with magnetic control. He wanted to let his anti-aircraft guns fire, but he tested and adjusted them while firing.
This, this may not be wrong.
Can Mi Daoyuan be blamed?
I really don't know.
Before, when Mi Qi, the Marquis of Mount Li, lost, King Mi could say very generously that this was a battle, but it was also a game to train the children of the Mi family. The capable ones are promoted, and the mediocre ones are demoted.
So after Mi Qi lost, he was directly exiled to become a monk, lost all his treatment, and even his title was stripped.
Next, Shen Wuyu died before he could deal with him.
When Mi Huan lost in the Dongyi Empire, King Mi could no longer deal with him.
One reason was that he felt that Mi Huan had not made any mistakes, and the other was that he no longer had the capital to deal with him.
If the most outstanding people in the family were all dealt with and driven out of power, would Mi You do things alone? Would he become a commander without troops?
King Mi was silent.
He was really 70% to 80% sure of winning this naval battle.
But... he still lost miserably in the end.
Of course, Ying Que also won miserably.
The combined fleet of him and the Queen lost more than half of its warships in terms of the number of warships.
Every warship was injured.
At least three times, they almost lost.
King Mi suddenly said: "I really want to say that 70% depends on strength and 30% depends on luck. But... Yingque had a little luck in this battle, for example, his warships were very accurate, but maybe this was not luck."
"It's not luck, and it's not even entirely based on strength, but he is defeating our fleet."
"Magnetic control, defeating our ammunition depot. Anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, defeating our air corps. The last eye of the sky, defeating the dark domain of the demon sea, and destroying our last trump card."
"In the final analysis, he calculated it accurately, he calculated it accurately."
At this point, King Mi fell silent again.
This is the most destructive.
In fact, King Mi is very proud of the air strike tactics of the air cavalry. He thinks this is a great innovation and that it will change the entire naval battle. So a few years ago, he began to build this powerful mutant giant eagle corps and began to train them in dives and air strikes.
This is indeed great and revolutionary.
But...it was still cracked by Yingque.
This makes people feel miserable, and even doubt whether this is a great tactic?
If so, why was he so embarrassed on the battlefield?
"Yingque is amazing. He has such powerful anti-aircraft firepower, but he never uses it. He lets us air raid Zhenhai City and their land defense line, but he never uses it. He would rather let morale drop and be beaten completely without fighting back. He determined our air raid tactics for the naval battle and stuck to one goal without letting go. It's so... amazing."
Mi Huan suddenly said: "He is gambling."
King Mi said: "If we don't have a powerful air corps as he imagined, and don't use air raid tactics in the sea. That would be a greater benefit for him. Without the air raid corps, our fleet should be even more unable to beat him. He is truly anticipating the enemy, and he truly regards us as the most powerful opponent."
"What about us?" King Mi said: "The reason why you didn't go all out, Mi Daoyuan, and sent all the air corps to carry out saturation attacks at the beginning, is firstly because of caution. Second, you underestimated Yingque's anti-aircraft firepower."
Mi Daoyuan kowtowed again: "I am guilty!"
King Mi said: "No, this is not a mistake you made alone. All of us underestimated Yingque's anti-aircraft firepower, even though I kept saying that we should assume that Yingque had anti-aircraft firepower and it was very powerful. But... that's just saying. That’s it, it hasn’t really been implemented.”
"Because we can't create it ourselves, we assume that Ying Que shouldn't be able to create it. Even if we can create it, it won't be that powerful."
"In short, it's a loss, it's a loss."
"In our hearts, we are 70% or 80% sure of this battle, so we are inevitably arrogant. But in Yingque's heart, he is actually more pessimistic about this battle. He only has a 50% chance of winning at most. This 50% chance of winning, It’s always in his head, so he’s better prepared.”
"Forget it, forget it, there's no point."
"If you lose, you lose." King Mi's voice was hoarse and painful.
He said forget it twice in a row, which shows that he really can't get over this hurdle.
Decades of accumulation were all thrown away in one fell swoop.
Who can be truly free and easy?
Fu Caiwei said: "Of the twenty Tianyan masters who supported us in Sky Book City, several died and several were captured. We only brought back seven."
Suddenly, King Mi's face twitched again.
The question now is, what next?
On land, it can't be beaten either.
Yingque gritted his teeth, but there were no reinforcements and no reserve team.
As a result, the three commanders Shen Wuzhuo, Jiumogang, and Li Zhan were able to bear it.
Facing twice as many enemies, he refused to take a step back.
During the first phase of the war, the battle lasted for half a month, and the troops on the ground retreated dozens of miles.
This time, it was obviously more difficult, but he refused to retreat even half a step.
Because he knows that this time is a battle of wills and morale. Once he starts to retreat, it is likely to cause collapse.
After only two days of fighting, I really couldn’t fight anymore.
The casualties were too great.
King Mi said: "What should we do next?"
There are only three options before us.
The first plan is to mobilize a secret army from the East China Sea Province to fight Ying Que to the death.
All the naval capital accumulated over decades was lost. Now, all the old army capital has been taken out.
The second option is a ceasefire.
The third plan is to let Sky Bookstore go.
The first option is impossible, only a fool would do it.
His secret army must defend his lair.
Once they leave the East China Sea Province, they lose the advantage of playing at home.
If all this secret army is lost on the battlefield here, then the Mi family will really be completely destroyed.
Fu Caiwei said: "Your Majesty, Sky Bookstore is probably unwilling to end at this time. It will not end anyway."
Mi Daoyuan said: "I also think that the last time Sky Bookstore ended in person, there was a complicated political struggle background. Even the Holy Lord was suspected of using a borrowed knife to kill people, which eventually caused the die-hard conservatives to collapse and Jiang Ren to step down. Moreover, Sky Bookstore also In order to restore its reputation, Sky Bookstore has paid a huge price, so at least at this time, he will not end up in person. "
The first option doesn't work, and neither does the third option.
Then there is only the second option.
armistice!
To put it more harshly, it is asking for peace.
What's the cost? !
What bargaining chips are there?
Why seek peace? What chips is Mi willing to pay?
King Mi suddenly said: "If we send someone to marry Yingque, how do you think he will react?"
………………………………
The next day!
Ying Que led the fleet in triumph.
When I went out, it was overwhelming.
When I came back, I was scarred.
The fleet docked at Zhenhai City Pier has less than eighty warships.
Of course, there are many damaged warships behind them that have lost all power and need to be towed back.
As for those warships that were seriously damaged but could still be repaired, they were all towed away by Li Hualan's fleet.
There is no large shipyard here in Yingque, so it cannot be repaired. It has to be towed to the shipyard in Castlevania.
Yingque agreed, and after repairs, both parties split the money equally.
Mi's armored battleships and armored cruisers are still very strong.
After the repair is completed, as long as it is replaced with a brand new artillery, the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
Therefore, Castlevania's Jade Rakshasa became a huge winner even though he did not participate in the battle.
This is also how Ying Que expresses his attitude.
Although you never sent troops to help at the critical moment, you instead demanded that the East China Sea Province be ceded to Castlevania in the future.
In a sense, this is taking advantage of the situation.
But I don't care about it, but I am willing to continue trading with you and continue to give you huge benefits.
One is tolerance towards allies.
Of course, in the final analysis, strength does not allow it.
At this critical moment, Yingque couldn't lose Castlevania as an ally, even if he was a little dissatisfied with her.
However, Castlevania is not your relative. The two parties are more of quasi-allies with combined interests. It would be too naive to demand too much.
…………………………………………
At this time, the battle in Zhenhai City was over.
There was blood everywhere and the remains of burned-out houses.
Even on the city walls, there were huge damages everywhere.
It seemed very tragic.
However, it just looks miserable.
The Ace Legion defending Zhenhai City did not suffer any casualties.
Even the Musketeers Corps got a valuable opportunity to shoot in actual combat.
But to be honest, Prince Lian almost peed.
After passing this time, he found that he was not a handsome man, his mental quality was too poor, and he was unable to see the overall situation from a height, and would be directly frightened by the picture in front of him.
Her Majesty the Queen led everyone to the dock to greet Ying Que, Princess Li Yang and Ning Daoyi.
Looking at the weak and pale Ying Que, the Queen stepped forward and kissed his face gently.
This was in full public view, in front of tens of thousands of people.
Everyone was shocked, and then let out mischievous cheers, similar to those in a wedding ceremony.
"Husband, you are so powerful." The Queen smiled.
But there was absolutely no mention of what she herself had done.
She led eight masters on the battlefield and fought fiercely for two days from beginning to end.
And not as a queen, but as an ordinary warrior.
For two whole days, she killed countless people.
And when on the battlefield, his true strength is not revealed at all.
Not to mention that the enemy didn't notice it at the beginning, even Jiumogang, Li Zhan and Shen Wuzhuo didn't notice it.
It was not until the end, when the Mi family used top warriors to attack the Crown Prince in an attempt to behead him, that the Queen truly showed her strength.
And at the end, he gave King Mi a cold smile.
She doesn't want to be a charioteer.
Don't flaunt your own identity.
Because she knew that once her identity was exposed, although the morale of her own army would be improved, the brothers did not lack morale or will, and there was not much room for improvement.
On the contrary, if the enemy knows that the Queen is on the battlefield, they will only attack more frantically, which will bring greater casualties and greater pressure to their own army.
The Queen did not bother to do this kind of thing that would benefit her own reputation but harm her own army.
Being so unknown, making a dagger on the battlefield seems more interesting. Who knows that she, the queen, has high martial arts skills.
Ying Que smiled and said, "You are even better."
Then the Queen came to Ning Piaoli and said seriously: "Thank you for turning the tide at the critical moment. You are amazing."
Ning Piaoli's face turned red, she shook her head and said, "This, this is nothing."
"No, what's the point?" Ning Piaoli quickly corrected: "I am also very happy in my heart. I am very happy to be able to do things for everyone."
Then, the Queen came to Ning Daoyi and said: "Master Ning, thank you for your hard work."
Ning Dao bowed and said, "I don't dare."
The Queen said: "Master Ning's hard work has paid off in this battle."
Ning Daoyi said: "No, this battle depends entirely on Princess Liyang. Daoyi has no credit."
"No." The Queen said seriously: "The mission of you and Shen Lingluo is to contain half of the Mi family's fleet, or to put it more clearly, it seems that you have been beaten and even suffered heavy losses. But this is your mission. "
Then, the queen once again confirmed: "Master Ning Dao, Master Shen Lingluo, your contribution to this battle is exactly the same as Princess Liyang's, but the roles you played are different."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Daoyi and Shen Lingluo knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor's words really warmed everyone's hearts.
Originally, the soldiers of Ning Daoyi and Shen Lingluo's fleet were in a very depressed mood.
They felt that victory was achieved by winning over Master Liyang and Princess Liyang's fleet. And their side played so ugly that it almost dragged down the entire battle.
But the emperor's words completely affirmed their contribution.
Moreover, the Queen's words are also correct.
The mission of Ning Daoyi and Shen Lingluo's fleet this time is to take a beating but not collapse.
……………………………………………………
After returning to the palace!
The Queen and Ying Que were doing ulterior things in the underground fortress.
Is she planning to try all the scenes in "Yellow and Black"?
She, a seemingly pure and flawless woman, is really eager to explore.
After it was over, she looked at Ying Que in confusion and said, "I find that I love you more and more."
"This feeling is very strange. Originally, I was the only one in the world, and suddenly there was another person."
"So weird, so interesting."
…………………………………………
Next up!
In fact, no one deliberately promoted it.
Mi's side had failed in the great sea battle, so of course it would not be announced to the world.
The Queen and Ying Que did not deliberately publicize it.
But... the news still spread all over the world at an extremely fast speed, as if it had wings.
The Mi family navy was completely destroyed.
Defeat the navy and achieve a complete victory.
Moreover, the war on the ground was clearly indistinguishable, but it was also publicized as a huge defeat.
Because in the eyes of the world, the alliance between Emperor Yongchang and the Mi family was too powerful.
If you didn't kill the Queen and Ying Que within half a month, it wouldn't look good.
Our expectations for you are like a strong wind that rolls down leaves, sweeping across the Tiannan and Tianshui provinces with the force of thunder.
As a result, I have been playing for a month or two and still haven’t won.
There was even no progress on the front.
The key battle was lost over there.
Then you will definitely lose on the ground.
If you don’t win, you lose. You don’t meet everyone’s expectations.
Most people in the world may not understand the significance of this great sea battle.
But the direct descendants of Emperor Yongchang knew clearly.
Next, big trouble comes!
Because King Mi is likely to retreat directly and return to his hometown in the East China Sea Province.
Directly throw Emperor Yongchang, Prince Ying, and many princes and ministers into Jiangdu.
If the Mi family took away the direct troops, how could Emperor Yongchang rely on him to defend Jiangdong Province? How can we protect Jiangnan Province?
It's impossible to hold on to it.
The current situation is, will King Mi retreat?
Could he even sell Emperor Yongchang? Sold everyone?
……………………………………………………
Ying Que and the Queen were still in the underground fortress, studying life sciences naked.
Princess Liyang knocked on the door a few times outside, and then said, "I'm in."
Then she twisted the mechanism code and walked in.
Seeing the slightly miserable scene of the Queen and Ying Que, she spat softly.
"Is this kind of thing so interesting?"
The Queen said: "This is interesting. Do you want to come with us?"
Princess Liyang said: "No, I'm ready to be with him, but I'm not ready to be with you. It's too weird."
Then, she said to Ying Que: "Husband, King Mi sent someone to ask for peace. Who do you think he sent?"
Ying Que said: "Fu Caiwei?!"

I will definitely be able to sleep well tonight, right? It must be possible.
