As more and more warships appeared on the East China Sea Barrier, this large sea battle spread throughout the entire sea outside the dock.
There were two warring parties almost everywhere, and the sky was full of rockets flying randomly.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
The hustle and bustle of the battle lasted until dawn the next day, when the last Japanese battle camp ship gradually disappeared on the sea level with thick smoke.
The results were better than Lu Yulong originally imagined.
His fleet formed a blockade in the south, directly blocking seventy-four enemy ships, and other ships caught up with them and sank four of them.
In addition to the eight ships sunk when coming from the west, the Panshi rammed and sank two ships.
A total of eighty-eight enemy battleships were sunk.
As for the team level and other wooden valves, they are countless.
But when Lu Fuhai got the casualty data of both the enemy and ourselves, the wrinkles on his forehead were so tight that they could pinch mosquitoes.
well.
He was bleeding.
This was almost the largest loss suffered in a battle since the establishment of the East China Sea Barrier.
The Japanese pirates lost eighty-eight battle camp-class ships. The East China Sea Barrier was burned and sunk less, a total of sixty-one ships.
But there are more than 20 other ships like the Panshi that were damaged or burned out and need to be overhauled or scrapped.
Judging from the data, the losses caused by the Japanese pirates were even greater.
In particular, the casualty ratio of soldiers on both sides was almost three to one.
But that’s not actually how it compares.
The performance of the Yunchui battleship is far better than that of the Japanese pirates. Even if they exchange one for one, they will suffer a big loss.
As for the soldiers on both sides, they are even more different.
One side is a veteran who has been trained for a long time, and one will die and one will be spared.
The vast majority on the other side are purely civilians who have just taken up arms, and there are millions of such people in the Japanese pirates' homeland.
The atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was solemn.
However, no matter how heavy my heart is, I still have to write a battle report, and I have to write it as soon as possible.
Lu Fuhai could already imagine Emperor Changxing's expression sinking when Xing Ji City saw this battle report.
He talked carefully about the details with Xiao Zheng and several generals who were still full of murderous intent. He was about to write, when he accidentally glanced at them.
Not far away, several of King Qi's staff were waiting eagerly.
They divided themselves into two people and went into the Baekje capital to search, but so far they found nothing.
Lu Fuhai and Xiao Zheng looked at each other, and their heads suddenly ached.
But no matter how hard my head hurts, the prince still has to look for him.
Xiao Zheng left with a dark face and his guards, trying to find a way to find Chen Xiuzhu who was missing.
"General Lu must pay attention to strengthening patrols on the sea surface to guard against Japanese pirates returning after they leave."
When he left, he left a message behind.
Lu Fu Haiya bit it and almost broke the brush in his hand into two.
In actual power, he was Xiao Zheng's vanguard, but now he was reminded by his subordinates face to face, and his face became panicked.
When they returned to Jinlongtan, personal guard Xiao Yong came to greet him, "General, the Starfall Army has arrived."
oh?
Xiao Zheng perked up, "Is Gang'er here?"
"Yes, the Second Young Master is waiting for you, General, in the central army."
Xiao Gang has been leading the Fifth Battalion of Xingluo Pioneer to build and widen the post road leading to Beiguan.
Not long ago, it was almost finished, but a sudden violent storm brought everything back to square one.
As soon as the rain stopped, he received a request for help from Jinlongtan and hurriedly brought someone over.
The father and son looked at each other, seeing each other covered in mud and water and looking tired, with mixed emotions.
"General, I wonder how the battle at Jinlongtan is going?" Xiao Gang had a strange look on his face.
Xiao Zheng's letter asking for help was extremely serious.
All the anti-landing fortifications at Jinlongtan were demolished, and the enemy launched a large-scale attack...
He thought that Jinlongtan was about to be breached, so he led his troops to attack overnight.
"Don't worry, we have repelled the Japanese pirates' sneak attack this morning."
The two chatted in detail about each other's situation.
Upon hearing the news of Chen Xiuzhu's disappearance, Xiao Gang took a sip of water up his nose and choked with tears.
Cough cough cough.
Xiao Gang finally stopped coughing, his face full of seriousness.
"Father, in fact, His Majesty has sent an edict to summon all the princes, including King Qi, back to the capital to prepare for the canonization of the crown prince."
"It just happened to be a big typhoon and the imperial envoy was stuck at Beihai Customs. Otherwise, he should have arrived at Jinlongtan earlier."
But now he can lead the team to Jinlongtan.
I believe that within a few days, the imperial envoy will come here.
Xiao Zheng's scalp exploded.
It’s really a rainy night when the house leaks.
Originally, I wanted to find the person back secretly without telling Xing Ji City, but now it seems that it is all a waste of hope.
"Xiao Yong, take care of the second young master." He ordered and hurried towards the dock again.
pier.
Having lost so many warships at once, Lu Fuhai and several military advisors who could write brilliantly were racking their brains to write a memorial.
"General, General Xiao Zhengxiao wants to see you."
"What's going on?" Lu Fuhai was confused, "Didn't Xiao Zheng just leave?"
His heart skipped a beat, could he have found His Highness King Qi?
"Let him in immediately."
After Xiao Zheng came in, he first drove out the unnecessary outsiders.
However, under the hopeful gazes of Lu Fuhai and several military advisors, he stood upright and didn't know where to start.
"Old Xiao, is there any news about His Highness?"
"Yes, General Xiao, has His Highness found it? Speak quickly."
…
Xiao Zheng's face was full of complexity, and he could only tell the bad news that Xiao Gang had brought here.
Bata, bah.
Several brushes fell on the table, and the memorial that I had just racked my brains to write suddenly gained a few balls of ink, and slowly seeped out.
However, none of them could care less about their distress, and all of them looked towards Lu Fuhai subconsciously.
It's over.
Half of Lu Fuhai's body was numb.
He hurriedly led the team to Baekje. Firstly, he wanted to avenge the Japanese pirates. Secondly, he wanted to bet his future on Chen Xiuzhu, so as to gain the advantage of following the dragon.
Now that Emperor Changxing was about to establish a heir apparent, they lost Chen Xiuzhu at this time...
boom.
Lu Fuhai slapped the table hard, and he didn't hesitate for long.
"You guys continue to write the memorial. I and General Xiao will rush to the capital of Baekje immediately to find the whereabouts of Prince Qi."
"General," the military advisors looked at each other with hesitant expressions on their faces, "If both generals leave, what will happen if the Japanese pirates come back?"
It is their duty to write memorials and serve as advisers. There is nothing to say about this. But to come out to direct battles is to seek death.
If the supervised soldiers found out and reported it directly to the Ministry of War or even Emperor Changxing, the commander would strip the military power and throw them into prison, or at worst, their heads would be thrown to the ground.
"Yes, we also need to guard against Japanese pirates." Lu Fuhai was also dizzy with anxiety.
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Zheng, "Old Xiao, isn't your second son building an east-west post road? Let him find a way to delay the imperial envoy on the road. We will wait until we find His Highness."
"Impossible." Xiao Zheng looked ugly and refused directly.
Whether he knew it or not, Chen Xiuzhu disappeared in his military camp.
Emperor Changxing would not listen to Xiao Zheng's grievances and would only slap him in the face.
He had already hooked himself in. If Chen Xiuzhu really couldn't be found, would he have to hook up his son with a bright future?
Xiao Zheng is not that stupid.
Lu Fuhai reacted.
They could only secretly curse Luo Ken, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Xiuzhu, who came up with the idea of "mating".
I completely forgot that I also had a hand in it.
well.
Lu Fuhai let out a long sigh.
"Old Xiao, then I'll stay here and you can go find the prince as soon as possible. You must find the prince back."
Xiao Zheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but he could only bow his hand and said, "I can only say that I will do my best and leave it to fate as to the outcome."
