Emperor Xin did not want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties, so what he had to abandon was naturally foreign objects.
Although these warships were expensive to build, they were still foreign objects, and they were of little use after the expeditionary force landed in Southeast Asia.
In fact, the cost of maintaining these warships has exceeded their value.
First of all, Di Xin had already made a decision before the expedition and was not prepared to bring the war back to the Eastern Continent. Therefore, if he failed in this battle, he would be eliminated in Nanyang, and naturally there would be no need for these warships to carry him back to Dali.
If they win, the expeditionary force can naturally capture Dashi's warships and head to the West.
Emperor Xin would not use warships to circumnavigate the continental route to attack Dashi's station, and the rivers on the Nanyang continent were also narrower for sea ships.
Therefore, except for a few small warships that he ordered to be dragged ashore and hidden, the rest of the warships would be fine even if they were abandoned.
However, warships are expensive to build, so it would be a pity to abandon them like this.
This is the saying that it is a pity to throw away food that is tasteless.
In this case, Di Xin naturally wanted them to play their final role.
The location of the camp was carefully measured by Di Xin. If he wanted to bomb from the sea, the starting point of the range would happen to be in the sea area where the ships were docked.
And these ships happened to block the route to shore.
Therefore, if the food army wants to attack the camps on land, whether it is bombing with the artillery on the fleet or forcing a large army to land, these ships cannot be bypassed.
It was impossible for the Dashi army to check each of these ships to see if there were reinforcements, so they had only one choice.
…
boom!
boom!
boom!
Even in the fifty-meter-deep sea, Xizi could hear the sound of cannonballs fired by the Japanese fleet above his head, and the faint light of the fire on the bow of the ship added a glimmer of light to the dark sea.
Those mines that were waiting quietly with Xizi also showed their traces at this moment.
The ability to make firelight penetrate into the seabed fifty meters deep is enough to show how energetic the carnivorous fleet is this time.
Without the need for perception, Xizi could see with his naked eyes that the burning warships were bombed into pieces and slowly sank into the water.
After the hulls fell to a depth that she could not see, the sea finally returned to calm.
At this point, except for a few hidden warships, all the ships of the Dali Expeditionary Force that set sail this time were completely wiped out.
Then, the Dashi fleet sailed into the area where the Dashi fleet originally docked.
Xizi also smiled at this time.
She manipulated the water flow and controlled herself to swim under the large food fleet again.
Then he loosened the rope in his hand and raised his hands upward.
A gentle current appeared, carrying the grenades tied up with ropes, floating up silently, and surrounding the entire fleet from underwater.
When it rose to a depth of less than five meters from the sea surface, the originally gentle water flow became violent. The mine, which was originally rising slowly, suddenly increased in speed.
It hit the bottom of the large food fleet fiercely.
And her body was like a swordfish, galloping towards the deep sea.
…
On the sea.
The Dashi fleet sailed into the sea area where the Dali fleet docked before and stopped.
The artillery on the warship slowly adjusted its angle, and smaller speedboats were lowered one after another.
Apparently the bombing was carried out simultaneously with the preparations for the forced landing.
Viewed from the ship, countless people were running back and forth in the camp on land, seemingly awakened by the previous bombing and preparing for the next attack.
Vaguely, one artillery piece after another was pushed out, and the angle of firing at the fleet at sea was also adjusted.
However, the food army on the ship was not anxious.
An army of 50,000 people fought against Dali's 10,000 elite soldiers. Even if one of Dali's soldiers could defeat two, they would still be no match for them.
When the bombardment of the fleet ends and the army rushes to the beach, victory will be theirs.
The commander on the main ship showed a smile and ordered in Western: "Get ready to fire."
Next came the sound of artillery shells being loaded.
And it was at this moment that the commander suddenly felt his body shake.
No, it's not the body that's shaking, it's the whole boat that's shaking.
Then there was the belated explosion.
with an explosion immediately following.
Under the impact and explosion of thousands of mines, all the ships shook violently, and the artillery that had been adjusted at an angle was pointed in an unknown direction.
boom……
There was an artillery piece on the ship that fired the shell in time, but I don’t know where it went.
The fast ships that were lowered had already flipped over in the waves, throwing the soldiers on board into the water. The waves of wind and waves made it difficult for these soldiers to control their bodies.
"save……"
"Gulu gulu..."
Except for a few lucky ones, almost all Dashi soldiers who were preparing to forcefully land had seawater poured into their throats and mouths, causing them to suffocate.
If you fall into the sea and your mouth and nose are suffocated, there will basically be no second outcome.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people are struggling.
The soldiers on the ship were not having it easy either.
The violently shaking hull made even the most skilled sailors unable to control their bodies. Small hulls were directly exploded, while large ships also had holes and cracks, and a large amount of seawater poured in.
However, things are not over yet.
In the bridgehead camp, artillery pieces were aimed at the large food fleet, and the operation to beat the drowned dogs began.
Although there was no shortage of artillery in the camp originally, the number of artillerymen among the 10,000 elite soldiers limited the scale of artillery bombardment.
Therefore, even if the two sides were bombarding each other, the Dali army on the shore was as fierce as a fleet carrying 50,000 troops, and it should have been the suppressed side.
But now that the food fleet on the sea has too much to take care of, the artillery in the camp has become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Although thousands of mines were extremely powerful, Xizi detonated them all at once in order not to affect him.
Therefore, although most of the ships were blown to pieces and sank into the water, some larger ships survived even though they were shaken and bruised.
Almost all the ships in Dali were sunk, and a few ships on the shore had no time to be towed out to sea.
Therefore, although it is impossible for the Dashi army to rely on the remaining people to attack the camps on land, retreat is not a problem.
The ships that had been forcibly stabilized were trying to turn their direction.
But it is easy to come but hard to leave.
When the shells from the bridgehead camp fell, Commander Dashi, whose head was covered with blood, knew that they were doomed.
Because the artillery in the camp does not only have one round.
However, people's will to survive is strong, and they refuse to give up even if their hope is slim.
Finally, a few fast ships rushed out of the range of the artillery.
But before the fast ship could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw in front of them...
