Holy Light City is also a very important city for the Southern Empire, not only because of its large population, but also because this place is the most important transportation hub on the Luan River. If this place also falls, it will affect the entire war situation.
It is really possible for people from the Cao Family Trading Company to go straight up the river from here and attack most of the cities under the Southern Empire. This is the most nightmare thing for the Southern Empire, so they must not be allowed to do so.
Such a thing has become a reality. Most people have seen what the Cao Family Trading Company wants to do. The senior officials of the Southern Empire also want to have a controllable war with the Cao Family Trading Company in Holy Light 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 recoup their losses. 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 one-twentieth of the family business will be able to stop the war. However, the senior officials of the Southern Empire do not know that this is correct. They believe that with the 50 million troops in Holy Light City, they can definitely defeat Cao Cao.
These troops of the Cao Family Trading Company have been killed. This place will definitely become the end of the Cao Family Trading Company. It is impossible to continue to compete with the Southern Empire here. This is not the southern coast.
It is impossible for the people of the Cao Family Trading Company to succeed here. That is because most of the senior officials of the Southern Empire think so, so they may really fail. This place has also become the starting point for the war between the Southern Empire and the Cao Family Trading Company.
The last battle, known in history as the Battle of Holy Light City, was also the most brutal battle between the two sides.
The battle was divided into three stages. In the initial stage, the person in charge sent by the Cao Family Trading Company was Wu En, the commander of the Navy's second fleet, as the main attack leader, and the Marine Corps, which was airlifted by airship, was responsible for the attack.
The men of the First Division became auxiliary, because in the first stage they were mainly responsible for clearing out some ships on the Luan River. The Marine Corps could be said to have done nothing at this stage, although they killed hundreds of thousands.
The army. But most of them were the troops of the Southern Empire that went towards their military camp. With the help of more than a dozen airships, there was nothing worth publicizing about killing these troops. However, the performance of the sea combat was commendable.
Remarkably, there is nothing wrong even if you fall into the sea of ships arranged by the Southern Empire. The people in power in the Southern Empire want to turn this place into a battlefield, so they have gathered about 30,000 ships of various types.
Such ships. Of course, the largest ones are 1,000-ton ships. There are about more than three thousand such ships. Most of these are the transport ships used by the Cao Family Trading Company. These ships were used by the Southern Empire.
After they were captured, because they did not know how to use some of the modern things inside, each of these ships was decorated with style and turned into old-fashioned sailing ships. In this era, their main method of sea attack
It's better to get closer and send your own personnel to the other party's ship. This kind of attack method should not be a problem if you face the enemies of this era, but they are a bit inadequate when facing the Cao Family Trading Company's army.
It can be said that the gap between their attack and the artillery attack of the Cao Family Trading Company is thousands of years.
Wu En was born in the navy of the Eastern Empire. When the Cao Family Trading Company's army attacked the navy led by Wu En, they used this method to attack the Cao Family Trading Company's navy. At that time, the Cao Family Trading Company's navy was not that powerful.
For a large ship, the total number of artillery pieces on both sides is less than a hundred. But now the total number of artillery pieces on both sides is more than 250. This number is a very terrifying for them.
Numbers, and none of these gunners did anything at that time. These gunners were not very skilled. At that time, a gunner only used less than 100 rounds of training ammunition. The accuracy and other things need to be improved.
. But it’s different now. These people can be said to be veterans. They can kill those targets easily. This skill is still very good. If we fight against those people now, there will definitely be one.
It was a good result. Such a situation occurred at that time because the fleet of the Cao Family Trading Company was not very familiar with this kind of coordinated operations. However, even the original independent fighting could make the force led by Wu En at that time
The entire navy of the empire has been destroyed. The fleet they have trained for a long time cannot be solved by these improvised naval forces of the Southern Empire. Since these troops dare to come to the river, their results are already there.
They are destined to be completely annihilated. Wu En has no mercy for them. This is the way this era is. If you fall behind, you will be beaten.
On the first day, the Southern Empire asked Duke Katara to lead more than 10,000 various ships to fight. Because the lake around Holy Light City has been expanded, so if you don't look carefully here,
, everyone thought they had reached the sea. Wu En was also very satisfied with some of the conditions here. Since there is such a big place, you can't catch up with me or hit me. This kind of thing can be done.
I want you to pay a good price. Someone on the other side has already sent a message. If Wu En surrenders honestly, their millions of navy can make them all go back honestly. But such a thing is not easy for anyone.
It's impossible to say that. Once your millions of troops reach the water, it can be said that they are the same as nothing. Although your ships are the same big, you can tell by looking at your weapons. You should use bows and arrows to follow them.
A weapon like a small trebuchet. For the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, except for the trebuchet, there is nothing else. This is impossible. You can defeat them if you want to use this.
People from the Cao Family Trading Company, stop dreaming. At the beginning of the war, many people in the Southern Empire believed that they could win. The two squadrons only had more than 20 warships, and the long term would only be tens of thousands of people.
The Southern Empire's army is dozens of times larger than theirs, but they never think about it. In almost every battle, your millions of people are driven away by our hundreds of thousands, just like herding sheep.
You won’t remember the result.
Wu En observed the river surface at that time. The Southern Empire's army wanted to divide its troops into two groups to outflank it. The width of the surrounding river surface had reached nearly 20 kilometers, and the water depth was no problem. Even for reconnaissance
There is no need to investigate. In the past, the transport ships of the Cao Family Trading Company had already figured out some of the situations here very clearly. It was very certain that there was such a reef under the water. They were all about these things.
As we all know, the Southern Empire also has its own plan. They just hope to surround the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. At that time, they can use them up. Anyway, they have many ships. As long as it is the Cao Family Trading Company.
The warships were besieged by them. No matter how powerful they were, they would definitely be eaten up in the end. That is, the losses would be greater. Wu En from Cao's Trading Company also knew about this, so it would never be like this.
It can be done. What he has to do is to divide the people of the two fleets into two columns and rush directly into the formation of the Southern Empire. The speed must not be slowed down. They go in and kill seven in and seven out. In that way, the navy of the Southern Empire
It will collapse immediately. There may not be any need for seven in and seven out. They saw how powerful the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company is. They probably don’t have the will to fight. In a sea battle, such cooperation is especially important.
If you run away on land, you can only run away with a few people at most, but at sea, if a ship runs away, it will run away with the surrounding ships. This result is not something that everyone can bear.
The Marine Corps has also received orders from Wu En, and the order given to them is to stand still and wait for reinforcements. They are also the only land army that can carry out siege so far. They must not be attacked by the Southern Empire's army.
Once the war breaks out, no matter what the situation is at sea, the troops on the land cannot take any action. They can only stay there honestly. If there are troops from the Southern Empire around, as long as they are not coming
Ignore those who attack you. The navy will take care of matters at sea. As long as you can protect yourselves. We also left two airships for them. These two airships are tools for them to use for reconnaissance.
, they must also know the movements of the navy at all times. If the navy is really defeated, they must establish a larger area, because if the navy people die, their pressure will definitely come over immediately. They must
They stood firm and waited for reinforcements until the troops from the Cao Family Trading Company 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
Killed, so they are definitely paying close attention to the war at sea and must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, their escape route will really be gone. It is not a small matter for anyone.
Yes, especially the Marine Corps. It is absolutely impossible for them to defeat Holy Light City with just one division of their troops. That is unrealistic and no one has that idea.
"Keep the distance with them. We must not fall into their entanglement. Although we are already equipped with hand crossbows, our number is still too small. Now they will feel uncomfortable even if they exchange a hundred people for one of us.
It's worth it. We just have to hold on for thirty hours. After thirty hours, our army will have reinforcements. If we can't hold on, they will be on guard and we won't be able to cause any consequences.
Okay, although we have caused a lot of panic to the people of Holy Light City in the past few days, we have also used a lot of artillery shells. We definitely did not use them in this war at all. Let me tell you below.
Brothers, you have to take aim before attacking, otherwise you may really run out of ammunition and food. Fighting deep behind enemy lines is so helpless." Wu En said to his deputy, the commander of another squadron, and the two of them
In the past, all of them came from the navy of the Eastern Empire, and they didn't pay much attention to this war. In their view, this was not a war at all. It might be a massacre, but no matter what,
It is said that everything here is not so easy to deal with, especially after seeing the huge fleet today, with tens of thousands of large and small ships in front of them, and only a few dozen ships on their side. This is a big problem for anyone.
It’s unbearable. Looking at the shores on both sides, they are all troops of the Southern Empire. Except underwater, they are all people of the Southern Empire. If they cannot win, they will have no other choice but to feed the fish.
, very helpless.
"We did bring a lot of artillery shells, because we had determined before that we were going to blow up Holy Light City into a wasteland. But there is another trouble. If we advance in two columns, we will turn around.
There is a lot less room. On the map, we set sail from store A. We have to come back when we reach point X, but what if we all arrive at that place at the same time? We must have a fleet there to watch.
Then, the other fleet began to turn around, which might give the enemy an opportunity due to the weakened firepower. So I suggest that our two fleets should form a column. That would also be a threat to them.
, although our strike may be lowered by a level, it is also much safer for us." I didn't expect that the Southern Empire would get so many troops before, so some of their arrangements seemed a little bit a little bit at this time.
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, but it may be very troublesome to notify them, but
It is better to have a little trouble than to suffer heavy losses. As for now, they must make adjustments, otherwise they may lose half of their troops. As long as it is possible, they cannot do it.
Yes, to be honest, they don’t know where their future lies. The disparity in strength this time is really too great, almost reaching a ratio of 1 to 500. Their combat effectiveness is strong. At this ratio,
It is also difficult to do much. They all know that the result is terrible.
When Wu En was a thousand years old, he admired this kind of military method very much. He thought that Guangdong was attacked based on manpower. In the end, the key to victory or defeat was to see how many of his own people were on the other side's ships.
How many of our own people are on board the ship? If this kind of thing really continues like this, it is estimated that the Cao Family Trading Company's army will have no hope of winning. The gap in numbers between them is really too big. So it is absolutely not possible.
They will go according to their ideas. Since they cannot go according to their way, the Cao Family Trading Company will have its own set of combat methods, which is to let its troops quickly penetrate among their warships. Damn it.
With his fast attack, their people will not be able to reach him at all, and some of their warships will not be able to rush to their side. Then they may win in the end. Of course, if they want to all
It is impossible to annihilate these people. We just need to defeat their will to fight. At that time, reinforcements from the Cao Family Trading Company will arrive. If they continue to fight like this, they may be defeated.
They were completely wiped out, and everyone in the Cao Family Trading Company's army was very in favor of this method. For them, they all understood this kind of fighting method. These people were also skilled in facing such a battle. Back then,
At that time, tens of millions of naval forces in the Eastern Empire were killed in this way. The only difference between now and that time is that one was at sea and the other was in the river. There are still things that need to be paid attention to.
When you are at sea, you don’t need to pay attention to the speed and edge of the boat. That’s not the case here. This is an inland river after all. Although it is already very wide, sometimes it is still completely different from the sea.
Some places here have edges. There are Southern Empire Army troops very close to the shore. If they get too close, their bows and arrows will be lit and shot towards this side. If there is really a fire on the ship,
If it catches 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 the enemy's attack. It is really a big test for the Cao Family Trading Company's army, but about
They all have their own ideas in this regard, that is, they cannot take detours. Going in a straight line will make the Cao Family Trading Company's attack a little scattered, but the same is true for a long line composed of more than 20 warships.
If the Southern Empire's army cannot find a good time to attack, they will not know where to attack. In this way, the Southern Empire's army can be dispersed. In this calculation, they are still members of the Cao Family Trading Company.
It was relatively flattering. After Wu En's battle plan was finalized, the entire fleet began to operate. There must be no delay at this time, because if he goes out like this, before the enemy is ready, he will definitely give them a brutal blow.
Yes, if they are ready, I don’t know what will happen. The Duke of the Southern Empire over there probably doesn’t know that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company are already ready.
Don't look at the people of the Southern Empire facing a huge ocean, but to be honest, their navy is basically a core fleet. Although there are many ships, they have no experience at all. For them, they bully the people and accept them.
There is no problem with taxes and other matters, but they have never thought about confronting such a powerful navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. This time they come to resist the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company. In their opinion, they will definitely win. Then
It's because the gap between the armies of the two sides is really too big, but no one wants their men to be the first wave of people to attack. Because most of the people in the first wave will become cannon fodder, and each of these people can
They are just like hedgehogs. It is impossible to fight against them. I don’t know how many people will be killed by them, so I just think that others will rush up to fight them, and then I can go up and take advantage.
But if everyone thinks that way, this matter will not be so easy. Someone has to be sacrificed. The first batch of 2,000 ships that rushed up are the ones who are going to be sacrificed. The soldiers above them are all scared.
Their legs were shaking. They were already very frightened when they looked at the black cannon sticking out from the warship of the Cao Family Trading Company. They had never seen such a thing before. I heard that the kind of cannonballs fired by this thing
It only takes one to sink the ship under their feet. In fact, the ship under their feet is already very good in their opinion. They have never used it before, but now they see the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company
Only then did they know the difference between merchant ships and warships.
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 a sailboat again. If it's this kind of speed, it would feel like a normal speed.
Not so slow anymore, but now compared to the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, they are like ants. They were still far away from me just now, how come they were right in front of me in such a short time? Such an ability
It really surprised me. Another reason 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 didn't feel any oppression in the past. On the contrary, I
The people around them felt very scared. Especially when the cannon barrels came out, they became even more scared. Although these people saw those cannon muzzles, they didn't know how they attacked, but they could imagine it. After all,
There are also a lot of people here who have returned from the front line. According to what those people said, regardless of how many of you there are, if you are not careful, it is estimated that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company can easily kill you.
, don’t think this is a joke to you, it may become true. These things often look like this before you, and you don’t even know the final result, but you lose psychologically.
Wu En knew it when he saw the expressions on their faces. The bombardment of the past few days was effective. If you want to fight us, you must defeat yourself first. If you can't defeat yourself, then you can only
That's bad luck.
"Quickly intersperse, I must rush over in half an hour. No matter what kind of warships we encounter on both sides, I will sink them all. I must not let them come close. Prepare fifty soldiers on each side of the ship.
They all equipped me with the most powerful serial crossbows. Whenever I see a ship approaching us, I will immediately kill all the people on it. This way, even if their ship comes over, it doesn't matter as long as there is no one on it.
, if their weapons hit us, they must deal with it as soon as possible. Once our warships lose their combat capabilities, they must withdraw from the column immediately. We cannot let the entire fleet be buried with you just because of the mistake of one of your ships." Wu.
En issued his order, and the soldiers on the ship also arrived at their positions. There were four super serial crossbows on the deck of the warship, and two soldiers operated one. With such a thing, even if the enemy's ship came close,
It is not that simple for them to board the warship of the Cao Family Trading Company. They can definitely tear them apart at the first time. This makes the injured warship withdraw from the column, which actually declares their death. If it had been done before
At that time, the navy of the Cao Family Trading Company would definitely not make such a decision, but now it is an act that has no choice. If we don't do it, there may be a lot of damage in the end. What we have to do now is to sacrifice
Some people can keep most people alive. Making such a decision is very cruel for a commander, but if he doesn't do it, things will really be unbearable.
Seeing that the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company began to change their formations, the Navy of the Southern Empire (of course, that's what it was called. If they could also become a navy) was ready. At this time, they felt the helplessness of their own people.
Because they did not have the initiative to start the war, they could only wait here. There was no possibility of taking the war into their own hands. They all set sail with a huff and aah.
At this time, you can see how useless these people are. In order to compete for the seats in front, the ships have lost their momentum at this time. They all want to be able to escape in these ships.
, because the current gathering is too close, they know that if the artillery comes over, it can directly blow down all the ships around them. This is absolutely not allowed, even with such selfishness
In their hearts, it is not that simple for them to rush out. Each of these people feels that the surrounding ships are competing with them. It is estimated that they can do it without the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company.
It was at this time that the artillery of Cao's Trading Company began to greet them. The artillery fired, and a shell hit the center of dozens of ships. This was a big blow, and several surrounding ships were directly attacked.
It was overturned, and the one in the middle was the most unlucky. It cracked directly, and the seawater quickly entered. Along with dozens of other shells, the first round of attack was complete, and we won a complete victory.
The first attack frightened most of the people in the Southern Empire. They had never thought that such a thing would happen. In their opinion, they could destroy the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company with just one mouthful of saliva.
Those who were killed, who knew that they were not killed, but that the people on their side became like this. Several leaders quickly called on their own people to rush forward, but their words made those people rush up and get scared.
, What are you doing rushing up? Didn’t you see the attack by the people from Cao’s Trading Company just now? What we have to do now is not to rush up. Instead, we have to leave here quickly. It’s best to run as far away as possible. If we can run
It would be best to be outside the range of the cannons on the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, but the result would not be very good. It can be seen now. Some people want to go to the front, while others want to go to the front.
Go to the back, the boats are all mixed together, one by one you are saying something and I don't know what to say, these people don't know what to do, they look at the people in front of them.
If they want to kill their own people, it seems that their opponents are no longer the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, but the people in front of them. Once they regard their own people as their opponents, what danger does such a person have? Cao Cao
Naturally, the warships of the Family Commercial Bank would not give up such a good opportunity. Twenty ships began to violently bombard the wooden ships here. One ship after another was hit, even if they were not hit.
, but those who were too close to the explosion point were also overturned into the water, and their losses were really huge.
The officers of the Southern Empire shouted hard to ask the people below to abide by the actions they had agreed upon, but the artillery attack made them no longer have that idea. At this time, several ships on the edge saw that they could get out.
Hope, they immediately started to pull up the sails. If these people could quickly run to the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, they would certainly be able to cause some trouble to the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company, but none of them had that idea. What they wanted to do
It turned out to be an escape. Yes, they escaped in the direction of Holy Light City. The people on the boat were all troops from Holy Light City. They didn't want to defend the city at all. When they saw the warship of Cao Family Trading Company, they knew that it was impossible to fight.
, they are not opponents. If a fight really breaks out, the final result will be to be killed. They cannot let such a situation happen, so their ship boss immediately decided that if they want to run away, they must not stay. After several rounds of shelling, they have already
Thousands of people died. So many people died within one minute of the war, and more people fell into the water. It is estimated that these people will not survive, and they will definitely die in it. For these people
For people, they died in the hands of their own people. If the ships next to them could throw down a rope, they might be able to survive, but none of these ropes came down. For them, their own
We don’t know what happened to our lives. What does the life and death of these people have to do with us? If you fall into the water, if you drown, that’s your own business. Who says you have bad luck? If you have good luck
If it were, he wouldn't have gone into the water. Now that we have such a result, it can only be a matter of personal fate, and the rest will be like this.
Ten minutes after the battle started, Wu En and his fleet had already advanced about 4,000 meters. In these ten minutes, they fired a total of 12,450 shells. They reached the middle of the fleet, far away from them.
The nearest warships of the Southern Empire are several kilometers away. According to their current speed, they may penetrate these warships in a few minutes. At that time, according to Wu En's tactics, they will immediately turn around and rush back again.
, it is estimated that such a single attack can put these thousands of warships into chaos. In fact, those people have already entered chaos now. They could maintain a stable direction at the beginning, but now they are all
Paradoxically, it is not easy to get active. Just when Wu En thought they had won, everything changed from before, and the walls of Holy Light City emitted a white light.
Damn it, magic cannon, this was Wu En's first thought. Indeed, these are the twenty magic cannons on Holy Light City. The attack power of this thing is the same as the laser cannon on the earth. If it can deal with large
An army with a large area will definitely not have much effect, but it is no problem to deal with such a small fleet. Wu En immediately asked the airship in the sky to kill these magic cannons, and he himself would also let the warships
They all speed up. If they are targeted by these guys, they will definitely be able to kill them. They must not let such a thing happen. They cannot die in the hands of the magic cannon.
The first wave of attacks from the magic cannon was very powerful. Several water columns dozens of meters high appeared on the river, but they were still hundreds of meters away from the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. Wu En knew that these people were
They shoot blindly, so the next time they attack, one of their ships will probably be injured or even sunk. They will definitely adjust their shooting at Zhu Yuan. If they adjust it well, it will be when they are hit.
Well, it will take at least a few minutes for the Cao Family Trading Company's airship to pass by. If they move with magic cannons by then, they still won't be able to hit them. In any case, the Southern Empire has someone here who can compete with the Cao Family.
The weapons used by the trading bank's army to contend with, and 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 Holy Light City is too important to the Southern Empire.
, even if each shot costs millions of silver, they will still pay for it. Eight million taels of silver went into the salvo just now. Just a test is so expensive. If this continues
If so, I still don’t know what will happen. They all adjusted quickly one by one, but before they could adjust, the artillery from Cao’s Trading Company had already arrived first, and dozens of shells exploded here.
, although the magic cannon was not destroyed, it still made them feel the danger, and the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company were changing their positions in order to allow more artillery to be directed towards this side. Once the adjustment
If it's good, there will be artillery like raindrops coming over.
"Ignore their attack, fire for me. See clearly, they are also afraid. If they were not afraid, they would definitely not care about you. The magic cannon in your hands is our most important tool now. Give it to me.
Beat them and let them know how powerful we are. We also have weapons to deal with them. Let the sailors stop watching. What time is it now? Tell them to rush over quickly.
Their mission is not to watch there, let them rush up to me, while they are firing magic cannons, that is when they attack, they will be the first batch of people to defeat the Cao family trading navy, and they will all become the empire
He is a hero." The Duke on the city wall shouted with all his strength. He also let the magic cannon fire just in case. Unexpectedly, this thing was really good. These things have been forgotten. It can be said that Nan
The empire has been at peace for too long. It's enough now. Those people have something to restrain them. After receiving the Duke's order, these ships, which were originally in chaos, finally knew what they should do.
They all felt what had happened. They should indeed seize the opportunity at this time. If they could seize this opportunity, they would definitely be able to deal a blow to the warships of the Cao Family Trading Company. But if they could not seize this opportunity, they would
They might be killed. No one would delay things when it comes to their own heads. They rushed towards the Cao Family Trading Company one by one. Now the greatest danger to the Cao Family Trading Company's warships has come.
.
"Hold still, divide into two teams, No. 112 and No. 113 attack the magic cannons on the city wall with all their strength. The remaining ships continue to intersect with me. You must not mess up our formation. 112 and 113, you are all behind.
I will follow. Your mission is to use the magic cannon on the city wall. They are not allowed to fire another round. If it does, you will use your own hull to block me and tell their captain that they must keep up.
, If they fall behind, they know what the consequences will be." 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.
They don't have much effect at all, and these things don't pose much danger to them. The damage these things bring to them is only a little. They only have more than 20 magic cannons, and the gunners have not been trained.
, their shooting accuracy and speed are not very good. As long as the people of the Cao Family Trading Company can keep up with their speed, their striking ability is not very good. For the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, as long as they strictly follow Wu's
If you do what you say, you won't suffer any loss. It is absolutely impossible to get entangled. If they are entangled by these warships below, they really can't escape. The density of these warships is really
It's too big. 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, it was hit casually.
