Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Thousands of warships proudly set off from the north coast of Xifeng Kingdom, and headed straight for Wenlai.

In the strategy formulated by Admiral Akaxido, Wenlai is a very important bridgehead.

This is not just because Wen Lai chose to form an alliance with Dong'an and did not take the Western coalition forces seriously.

In fact, even if Wenlai did not form an alliance with Dong'an, the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations would still make it their first target.

Although Akaxido is full of confidence, as a marshal, he knows the truth of thinking about defeat before thinking about victory.If the attack goes badly and is frustrated, there must always be a rest point for the thousand warships and tens of thousands of navies.

Wen Lai is playing this role.

Just like Su Yuan turned Dongwo Island into an offshore military base, Akaxido also wanted to capture Wenlai first, and then use it as a base to attack Dong'an.

After the fleet sailed for a few days, Wenlai Island appeared within sight.

There were no ships in its sea area, which made Akaxido a little curious.

Wenlai is an island country, so it stands to reason that more ships should be built.Could it be that he simply gave up because he knew he was invincible?

Not long after he thought this way, a small boat came out of the port of Wenlai Island.

Akashido sends outpost ships to make contact.

Not long after, the outpost ship came back with news.

"Marshal, the Wenlai people are warning us to turn around and head back immediately. They said that if our fleet gets closer, they will break into the 'Donglai' island chain, and they will launch an attack without hesitation at that time!"

"joke!"

Akaxido never took the Donglai Island Chain seriously, and he was a little annoyed by Wenlai's warning.

How dare a small island country disobey the alliance of [-] Western countries?This kind of provocation is a kind of humiliation to him!
"Go, give me an answer!" Akaxido said coldly, "Let Wenlai surrender within half an hour, otherwise, our fleet will launch an attack! When the people on the island die, we can only blame Wenlai. Come the officials themselves!"

Akaxido didn't care about the casualties of the Wenlai people. In his eyes, all non-caucasian races were inferior existences.

The reason why he replied like this was purely to frighten Wenlai, hoping to win without a fight.

Even if the odds of winning were high in his opinion, it would be a waste of ammunition to fight.It's best if you don't shoot a single shot.

The front sentinel immediately went to reply, and after a while, Wen came back in the boat.

Akaxido also received the latest reply, refusing.

"In this case, let's taste the wrath from the Lord! Send the order, and the fleets will cover and move forward. After Wenlai Island enters the attack range, listen to my order and start shelling!"

After receiving the order, the captains drove the boat forward and crossed the "Donglai Island Chain" that only existed in the concept.

After crossing, nothing happened.

Just as the soldiers on the ships were talking about the island chain as a joke, suddenly a dull and dense sound came from a distance.

That's the sound of cannons!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

……

Last night, Wenlai Island.

Su Yuan is here right now.

Together with Wenlai and Wangtian Wenming, he was on the front line of the coast.

After finding out that the Allied Forces of Thirteen Nations were going to launch an attack from the South China Sea, Su Yuan came here to sit here in person.

He was not surprised by the choice of the coalition forces.

...

After a few months, Donghai had already made him look like an iron bucket, and the coalition forces were just asking for trouble when they left there.

On the other hand, in the South China Sea, Su Yuan had just laid down the land not long ago, and all constructions were not yet in time.The coalition forces took a fancy to this and rushed out.

But they really didn't know that for Su Yuan, it only took a very short time to turn a land with zero defense into a terrifying position.

Looking at the cannons lined up in trenches on the coast, Tian Wenming felt chills in his heart.

Originally, he was still a little worried. Although there were a lot of Wenlai warships, they were nothing compared to the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations.

If the coalition forces came first, he would definitely be unable to resist.For this reason, he immediately asked Su Yuan for reinforcements.

Before the news of asking for help had passed, Su Yuan came in person.

Not only did he come by himself, he also came with a giant tortoise.

Tian Wenming was shocked by this giant turtle like a hill, and what was even more shocking was that there were thousands of cannons on the turtle's back!
These cannons are the latest upgrades developed by the crazy engineers of the Dong'an Engineering Institute.

Not only does the effective shooting range increase, but the caliber of the shells is also much larger.

After being manufactured by the workshop factory authorized by Su Yuan not long ago, cannons like assembly line goods are continuously manufactured.

Shells are more expensive than cannons.But Su Yuan can afford it.

His treasury is full of money, which has a lot to do with the lack of corruption under his rule.

A highly efficient government system, coupled with the absence of losses caused by corruption, all the money can be used wisely.

Su Yuan prepared thousands of cannons and tens of thousands of shells, all of which were used in this war.

He knew that the warships of the Allied Forces of the Thirteen Nations were the bottom line of these countries.He wants to raise all these old books at once, making those countries feel the fear from the bottom of their hearts.

By then, all his expenses in this war will be covered by the thirteen countries.

Not only the pads, but also the bleeding.

Giant tortoises and cannons. When Tian Wenming was amazed by Dong'an's huge production capacity, Su Yuan summoned a large number of soldiers from the soldier talisman and asked them to dig trenches near the Wenlai coastline overnight.

Although Tian Wenming was a little helpless, he also knew that this was something that had to be done.

Even if it is not dug, the artillery shells of the Thirteen-National Allied Forces will blow up the pits.

This is the helplessness of weak countries.

The helplessness is that one's own country will inevitably become a battlefield.

Even if Tian Wenming told Su Yuan that he didn't want to go to war on Wenlai Island, would Su Yuan agree?

Will you agree to put the battlefield in South Vietnam or Jiaozhou?You know, South Vietnam is now occupied by Dong'an, and it also belongs to Dong'an's territory.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Su Yuan agrees to go to war in Dong'an territory, will the Allied Forces of Thirteen Nations let Wenlai go?

Certainly not.

Tian Wenming knew that he had no choice but hoped that Su Yuan's cannons would be powerful enough to defeat the fleet of the [-]th Allied Forces as soon as possible.

In this way, Wen Lai Island will be less bombarded.

In addition, he also evacuated all the people living near the coastline and moved them inland temporarily to save them from shelling.

...

But people can walk, but houses and fields cannot. He can only promise the implicated people, telling them that after the war, the government will pay for them to help them rebuild their homes.

On the next day.

Sure enough, the Allied Forces of Thirteen Nations arrived near Wenlai.

With the last hope in mind, Tian Wenming sent someone to warn the coalition fleet after obtaining Su Yuan's consent, hoping that they would give up the attack.

The result is of course futile.

Therefore, after the coalition fleet broke through the range of the island chain, Su Yuan decisively ordered to fire.

The roar of the cannon pierced the calm sea, and the shells whizzed down from the sky and hit the coalition warship, causing an explosion immediately.

Some crew members and soldiers were blown to pieces in an instant, leaving no bones left.

The flames and blood, mixed with screams and cries of pain, drifted with the sea wind and passed to every ship and everyone's ears.

"Damn it! Can Wenlai's cannon hit this far?!"

Akaxido looked at the dozens of warships that were blown up in front of him with disbelief on his face.

The fleet is still some distance away from Wenlai Island. Even their advanced ship guns can’t reach this range. For a small country like Wenlai, where did the technology come from?
"Marshal! Dong'an must have armed Wenlai!" The staff officer on the side said quickly.

"Well, it should be like this!"

Akaxido's face was gloomy, and his hands were clenched.

"Order, speed up! The enemy doesn't have many long-range cannons. As long as we advance to the attack range of the ship cannons, we can destroy all the coastal defenses in one go with artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

The coalition forces that had destroyed more than a dozen warships did not stop or retreat, but accelerated their advance.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Su Yuan and Tian Wenming at the height of Wenlai Island.

Tian Wenming was puzzled and asked, "You... did this on purpose?"

Su Yuan gave the order just now, and did not let all the cannons bombard him.Just let some of them, I'm afraid not even a tenth, just let more than 100 cannons fire shells, and the rest are on standby.

This seemed strange to Tian Wenming. If a thousand cannons were fired at once, the coalition forces would lose more than just a dozen warships.

I'm afraid we will lose dozens or hundreds of them at a time, or even more!
This was enough to severely damage the coalition fleet.

Su Yuan smiled lightly when he heard the words: "That is indeed possible, but will the suffering coalition forces approach? I am afraid they will retreat immediately and withdraw from the attack range of our cannons. How can that be possible?"

Tian Wenming felt a chill in his heart: "So that's how it is... You deliberately misjudged the enemy and wanted to lure the enemy to go deep, so that when they found out the number of cannons, it was too late to escape."

"good."

"..."

Tian Wenming felt a little terrified. Su Yuan's strategy was not to defeat the enemy at all, but to completely destroy them on the basis of defeat!

Looking at the coalition fleet that hit the trick and accelerated towards Wenlai Island, even if they were enemies, Tian Wenming felt sad for them at this moment.

Silly children, you don't know what you are about to face...

The coalition fleet speeded up and got a lot closer to Wenlai Island.

Seeing that his ship's guns were approaching the effective attack range, Akaxido ordered again: "After one, two or three rounds of artillery cover, immediately approach the port and let the soldiers land on it. We must save shells!"

"Yes!"

Because of the weight, each warship carries only two or three boxes of shells, which must be used sparingly.

After all, it is just a small essay now, and the Dong'an Navy will be the main event later.

However, Akashido never expected that his fleet might not be able to last to see the Dong'an Navy at all...

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, the dull cannon sounded again.

Akaxido didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that it was just another round of Wen Lai's shelling, and he could afford to lose a dozen warships at worst.

However, the cruel reality soon told him that he had made a major strategic misjudgment!
