Chapter 2040 Collision Suppression Retreat
The first large-scale battle between the Nuya City-state and the Yaxi Empire broke out late at night. In addition to the collision of the 20-1st Fleet on Tang Chuxue, there are two other battlefields. The combined fleet of seven kingdoms fought against the Third and Sixth Fleets in Yaxi respectively.
Tang Chuxue's ambush was successful and he had the advantage when he came up. Although the First Fleet responded in time and scattered and rushed forward, it was still suppressed. The opponent's guns were too accurate. There was almost one of the forty or fifty shells that could hit their ship. Even if they turned off the lights, it was useless. People could find them right after hearing the sound.
They also fought back frantically, but they could only roughly judge the position of the opponent's warships and could not hit the enemy at all.
The ship was obviously faster than the opponent, and its weapons were more advanced, and it hit farther. However, it did not play any role and was eaten by others.
Not to mention this, the other party's ship was obviously very scattered and the lights were turned off. But there was no scattering at all, and they cooperated perfectly. Their ships were often hit by the other party's artillery fire, as if someone was commanding, which was simply incredible to them.
On the other hand, although the Asian Empire dispersed and reduced the intensity of the enemy's concentrated strike, it also caused a chaotic situation for each to fight. Because it was dark, in order to avoid being attacked by the opponent, they all turned off the lights and could not see any instructions at all. They could only rush up with their teeth, hoping to withstand it!
The collision between the two sides was quite fierce, with the continuous roar of cannons. The fleet of Yaxi was approaching quickly, looking fierce, but in fact they knew it was a pain. On the way forward, they had lost nearly twenty warships.
Nouya City State had no losses yet, and they began to retreat. Their speed was not as fast as others, so they could only act in advance. In fact, since the Yaxi fleet rushed over, Tang Chuxue had already ordered to retreat.
On the flagship of the First Fleet of the Asian Empire, Chief Hart looked so angry that his face turned red when he saw the warships sinking by the other side.
"This damn night!" Hart kept cursing. If it weren't for darkness, he would have been unable to judge the opponent's position. With the speed of the first fleet and the range of the cannon, he would have beaten the opponent to the point of urination.
He fired a real fire at this moment, hoping to sink all the other party's fleet and throw all the opponent's soldiers into the sea to feed the fish. He did not consider the fundamental reason why they were suppressed. Of course, darkness was the main factor, but the opponent's precise shelling and swift communication were even more effective.
"Sir! Master, please come over!" A soldier ran to Hart's side and reported in a low voice.
"Huh?" Hart was stunned and suddenly became scared and sweated. Only then did he realize that there was something wrong with his command. Since he was suppressed by the other party, he had to minimize losses, retreat and distance, whether it was to waste until dawn or to give full play to the advantage of the long range of the cannon. But now as the commander of the First Fleet, he was too uneasy and was blinded by anger, and he was really out of standard.
With his thoughts flashed, Hart quickly calmed down, whispered a few commands to the soldiers, and then strode towards the cabin. Although he made a mistake in command, it was still time to remedy it.
When he arrived at the cabin, Hart saluted Ora respectfully, and then took the initiative to tell his mistakes, waiting to be scolded.
However, what he did not expect was that Aola did not get angry, but affirmed his command and allowed him to continue to move forward and rush forward to fight the fleet of Nuya City-state.
"What's going on?" Hart was stunned. Shouldn't he retreat now? Why did he rush forward? Is the national teacher also so angry that he lost his mind?
Thinking of this, Hart wanted to persuade Ola not to do this. But before he could speak, Ola said seriously: "We must rush forward, this is related to a big plan!"
Hart straightened his eyes, turned his head and ran out. He had just ordered the soldiers to light the lights and go to the watchtower to issue a retreat order.
The battle continued, and the First Fleet fought desperately to fight with its opponents, but there were only more than twenty warships that really stepped forward. Nuya City State used the darkness and communication to turn repeatedly, trying not to give a chance to the phone. After the collision lasted for an hour, the First Fleet lost thirty warships. Nuya City State also lost more than ten warships.
Unlike Tang Chuxue who successfully suppressed the First Fleet, the other two battlefields were more stalemate. Although Tang Chuxue had told them about the way of fighting before, his proficiency in using radio telegraphs and the accuracy of gunners were all very different from those of the soldiers led by Xingchen.
So except for giving the other party a head-on strike as soon as they came up, the initiative on the battlefield was gradually occupied by the Asian Empire. Judging from the number of ships lost, Asia and West also had the advantage.
But even so, the people of Nuya City-State were already very satisfied. Even if they were at a disadvantage, they would sink many warships on the other side. Anyway, there were many ships on their side, and fighting hard could kill the other side.
The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the commanders of the third and sixth fleets felt that it was not worth it. Even if they had the advantage, they could not fight like this. The opponent's method of sending messages in the dark was too powerful. So they issued orders to retreat one after another.
The ship was swaying at the speed of the Yaxi Empire. The battleships of the Naoya Empire could not stop them. After chasing and firing the cannons for a few rounds, they cheered.
Duris, the commander of the Sixth Fleet, stood at the stern of the flagship and looked coldly at the distance. It was the place where he fought with the Nooya City State. Although he rationally issued a retreat order, he was furious. When the Empire's fleet had the advantage against the Nooya City State, they beat each other a few days ago, but today they were forced to retreat, which was simply a shame. When the news was released, I don't know how angry the emperor would be, and how many people would laugh at him, and even the position of the Sixth Fleet commander might be out of stock.
Taking a deep breath, Duris gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, I will look for you again until the daytime. I will wipe out all of you and then hit the north shore of the Dream Sea!"
"Woooo~" Suddenly, the horn sounded, and Duris, who was ruthless, was startled and looked up at the lookout and asked loudly: "What happened?"
"Sir Commander, I found a large piece of light on the left front, it seemed like a fleet, so big!" The soldiers on the lookout platform reported loudly.
"Front to the left, to the east, is it the ambushing fleet of Nuya City State? There was no news before!" Thinking to himself, Dukes quickly walked under the mast, and climbed to the observation deck in three or five strokes.
