Chapter 1542 Huge advantage blockade

Just after Wang Heng's fleet fired the first shot of the entire battle south of Sizhou Island, hundreds of seven-story treasure ships and more than 300 small boats set off from the Curse Land turned around and headed towards Chongming Island. They divided their troops into ten directions and rushed towards the ten major ports of Chongming Island.

At the same time, Mingque Island, which had been built for nearly three years, has also made efforts, and more than a dozen small fleets led by five or six seven-story treasure ships headed to Mantan Island.

Jiang Xingchen's confidence in taking the initiative comes from the previous battle for the Four Continent Islands. The news from Manager Liu and his inquiry about the Anzi not only allowed him to learn about the plan of the An family's prince and infer the other party's arrangements, but also robbed him for nearly ten days.

Jiang Xingchen's purpose is very clear, which is to quickly blow up all ports and warships in Chongming Island and Mantan Island, and then concentrate on dealing with Ahong Island.

However, after receiving Wang Heng's battle report, Jiang Xingchen made another change. Originally, he also thought that the An family would do his best to build a large ship, but he did not expect that the other party, like himself, would devote all his resources to the modification of the small ship.

This battle report came in time. With the resources and heritage of the two major islands, the number of these modified boats is absolutely terrifying. Once surrounded, your fleet will suffer huge losses, even if the ship speed is faster than the other party, it will be useless. If you try to consume it, you will not be afraid of the foundation of the two major islands, and your own supplies will be a serious problem.

Therefore, Jiang Xingchen issued an order to draw a part of the fleet to block the other party's estuary. Since they did not want to discover that the modification of the boat must be located in the shipyard within the estuary.

For this reason, Pink set out again and quickly searched the estuary conditions of the two large islands to determine the possible location of the hidden shipyard.

As a result, a total of thirteen major river estuaries were found on two large islands. This result made the commanders of the two fleets, Wang Zhicheng and Yan He frowned. This means that the fleets will be separated and the time for gathering will be much slower. It is very likely that they will not be able to gather again before Ah Hong Island arrives.

After thinking for a long time, the two of them still acted according to Jiang Xingchen's order, otherwise they would be surrounded and the loss would be too great.

The battle started at the dawn of September 5th. Yanhe's flag attacked, targeting Haiming Port on Mantan Island, which is less than 600 miles away from Mingque Island and is the closest port to Mingque Island.

The sound of cannons broke the silence of dawn. Everyone in Haiming Harbor suffered a catastrophe while still sleeping. In just half an hour, Pier One was destroyed by a covered bombing, and more than 30 ships were sunk.

Just a few minutes after the Yanhe fired, other fleets led by Xingchen launched an attack on the ports of the two islands, and the smoke of gunpowder spread along the coast of the two islands. The naval battle officially began."

In fact, it is not just a naval battle, not to mention the real unilateral massacre. At the beginning of the war, Jiang Xingchen's fleet established a great advantage. The overwhelming crush on weapons was fully reflected.

A few minutes after the attack began, the confused people woke up and shouted loudly that the enemy attack began to flee.

Some people risked being killed by bombing and forced themselves to board the ship and prepare to escape from the port to avoid the destruction of the entire army within the port.

When the Nangong Shijia and An family received the news that the port was bombed, they almost went crazy. They were still waiting for the news of the An family's prince. Didn't they say that they would ambush Xingchen and lead the fleet on Sizhou Island? Why did Jiang Xingchen come to attack us first? Or did more than ten ports bomb at the same time? Do they have so many ships?

After a long shock, the two islands suddenly realized that the plan of the An family's prince was probably bankrupt. So they ordered the hidden shipyard to dispatch the shipbuilding to transform ships and launch a counterattack against Jiang Xingchen's fleet. In their opinion, as long as the secret weapons were taken out, they would definitely defeat the fleet led by Xingchen. The advantage of ship speed was enough to make up for the shortcomings in weapons.

However, the cruelty of reality gave them another blow. The mouth of the river was blocked, and the shells led by Xingchen were smashed down like money. Their transformation ships could not rush out at all. In less than half a day, the two major islands lost hundreds of transformation ships in the river.

The An family and Nangong family were in pain and their hearts were thrusting. The shells on them were all Yuanshi and steam engines.

Seeing that Jiang Xingchen blocked the river estuary, both islands were about to start the next plan. But at this moment, they finally received a letter from the prince of the An family.

On the first day of the war, Stars occupied an absolute advantage, completely blocking the door. The ports of the two islands suffered heavy losses. Not only were the docks blown up, but even the cities were affected. Many residential houses around were blown up, and many people died.

People from several ports on Chongming Island seemed to have seen the bombing of the Wang family fleet four years ago. They were so scared that they were scattered. They hurriedly packed up their things and ran out, wanting to leave the coast. Soon several cities became in chaos, and civilians were everywhere preparing to escape from their hometowns.

However, more people flocked to the concession. In their opinion, the concession should not be bombarded by the stars.

It is worth mentioning that there are no garrisons in the concession at this moment, and they have been taken back to Mingque Island by Jiang Xingchen.

In fact, there were still many ships running in the major ports. Due to the strong division of Jiang Xingchen's fleet, the main forces were blocking the estuary, and they were unable to completely block the port.

Jiang Xingchen's fleet was not worried about the escaped ships. A large part of them were not even equipped with cannons, so how could it be posed a threat to the Xingchen Colonel?

After a day of battle, the sky gradually darkened, and the people blocking the estuary seemed a little nervous and tired. This kind of battle was very simple, but the abnormal actions of the two major islands made them feel very uneasy.

More than 100 ships were knocked out in the middle of the morning, and no one would continue to die. The best way is to wait for the night to come, which is the best time to impact.

But the development of things was just the opposite. The two islands only stopped for two hours and launched another attack. They completely ignored the losses and the lives of the personnel. After an afternoon, more than 100 more than 100 treasure ships of the fifth-layer treasure ships and the third-layer treasure ships were sunk.

"What's their idea?" Wang Zhicheng and Yan He were puzzled. Could it be that the helmsmen of the two major families were anxious and rushed out even if they fought to the death? But they couldn't see our firepower? Or was it not right that our sudden blow made them confused. Not one or two people in the big family made the idea, so how could they be confused? Or they had other purposes, so there was no need to let the ship die.

Just as Xingchenling pondered the other party's intentions, the sky gradually became darker. At night, the power of Xingchenling cannons would be much weaker, and the difficulty of blocking the river estuary would be greatly increased.
