Chapter 1557 Heavy casualties
The Ming Dynasty had two bases in Dashi, one in Nanguo and one in Moxun.

One is in the west and the other is in the east. The distance between the two countries is not too far.

And Meixun happens to be Bay Point, facing the other coast.

These two bases are in particularly good locations, and the possibility of a sneak attack from the sea is very low.

The opponent's artillery has insufficient range.

Once the opponent enters the sea and is within range, he can kill him.

Chai Rong led the Second Fleet to look for opportunities at sea.

The Cheng brothers and Dou Yiai planned their arrangements on land.

They have contacted Zheng Fengnian in Beihai.

As long as they dare to come over, they will attack from both sides.

At this time, in the Daqian military camp, people kept coming to report, "Li Shuai, the first advance team, the sixth advance team, and the seventh advance team have all died in the battle.

It is too difficult to make a surprise attack from the bay. The range of their coastal defense artillery is too far. At the nearest point, it can even hit our opposite shore directly. However, the range of our artillery is far inferior to theirs.

After going into the sea, as soon as his head showed up, he was beaten. "

The large amount of information about the defeat made Li Sixun extremely excited, "Isn't it possible to make a surprise attack at night?"

“They have lights, and the searchlights shine so far away that we can’t hide.

Their sniper rifles can hit us accurately even in the dark.

It's impossible to get close, let alone attack by force.

Li Shuai, we underestimated the enemy! "

The scout's words made Li Sixun a little annoyed, but he had to admit it.

It had been three days since the war started, and the casualties exceeded [-].

This was due to him being cautious. If he rushed forward, more people would probably die.

The opponent's weapons were stronger than theirs, and the explosions were more powerful, so the fight would be too much of a disadvantage.

The other party adopted a conservative strategy. When the fleet docked, they fired from a distance and used the range to suppress them. If they hadn't lined the river bank with mines, they would have landed long ago.

The war is harder to fight than before.

This is Li Sixun's most intuitive view. With the improvement of firearms, they have created more powerful weapons, but it is more difficult to kill.

If you want to advance, you must use human lives to pile it up.

And if this continues, it will become increasingly difficult for them to fight.

This feeling of hitting everything with one punch is really difficult.

"Report, Li Shuai, we have broken through from Susa. In this way, the big stone has been completely isolated from the middle.

However, there is information that Zheng Fengnian has come from Beihai to provide support. "

"Don't be afraid, let's explore again!"

Li Sixun clenched his fists. Many countries were already standing in line to help. Some of these countries owed too much national debt to the Ming Dynasty.

Some admired Daqian. After all, Daqian's power had extended to Dashi. The east and west were connected and could threaten them at any time.

Smart people know how to choose.

Li Sixun also promised them that after the war, they would go to Daqian to pay tribute. In the future, they would become a vassal state of Daqian and avoid military disasters.

This is also a disguised promise that Daqian's strength will stop advancing westward.

The Ming Dynasty often used the threat of Daqian to intimidate these monarchs.

"Dad, it's too difficult!" Li Ankang entered the military camp with a dejected face, "It's so damn frustrating!"

"I didn't ask you to dispatch military resources, why are you here?" Li Sixun frowned.

"In three days, at least 30 taels of armaments will be released. 10 taels a day is too much money." Li Ankang was extremely depressed.

"We are burning money. Doesn't Ming Dynasty burn money? Let me tell you, we can afford it!" Li Sixun said: "Right now, we are all about attracting the other party's attention. If we want to open up the situation, we have to go on land. When the time comes, both parties will Anzamp will cut off Zheng Fengnian's support. As long as we advance step by step, we will definitely win this battle.

Although they have two naval bases, they are far away from Ming Dynasty after all.

Unlike us, there is an armament factory right at the doorstep of Tianxiang, and a steady stream of military supplies is delivered.

And we are also working hard to develop new weapons.

If it can't be solved in a while, then put it off.

There's nothing they can do to us anyway.

This battle is not afraid of the flames of war reaching the Central Plains, so we have nothing to fear.

If the other party dares to go to the Central Plains, we will also go to Xijing. Anyway, the sea chart has been sent over.

I heard that their capital city has no city walls. I wonder if their tall buildings can withstand our cannons! "

Li Ankang nodded, "Actually, this battle was so uncomfortable because the enemies were acquaintances, and many people had low morale.

In addition, Qin Mo's accumulated prestige is so high that many people are already afraid in their hearts! "

"We have suffered 8000 casualties. No matter who Qin Mo was in the past, he is now our enemy!" Li Sixun gritted his teeth and said, "We must retaliate with tooth and blood with blood!"

As he said that, he stood up and said, "Even if it costs people's lives, we must pile up victory!"

Li Ankang actually wanted to say that he was overly optimistic. Although the war could not burn the Central Plains, what about the celestial phenomena?
What about Nanyang?
But they are all close to the sea.

There is an extremely long coastline.

Once it is affected, there is nothing you can do.

Daqian is now too big to be controlled.

Unless one day, the number of people increases tenfold, maybe we can firmly control these lands.

But how long will that take?
No one knows.

In fact, he did not agree with the westward expansion. Such a vast territory would be too strenuous for Daqian.

This fight is not rational.

Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, he hurried to the warehouse.

A large amount of materials were sent to the front line. In fact, what was consumed the most was not food or ammunition, but medicine.

Large quantities of bandages and medicine were sent to the front lines.

The military medical camp was extremely busy.

Some people's hands and feet were blown to bits, and some people's stomachs and intestines were directly blown up. The scene was extremely bloody.

Many people died on the way.

War is so cruel.

He clenched his fists, unable to do anything about the situation.

"General, the medicine consumption is too great. If this continues, it won't be long before the medicine is used up!"

Li Ankang asked: "How many people are there enough medicines left?"

“Everyone has first aid medicines, but these medicines can only suppress minor injuries at most, and those who are sent have either severed hands or feet, or serious injuries that are close to death.

When it comes to medicinal use, there is no precise number at all.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to last even ten days.

Moreover, these wounded people need to change their dressings every day. "

Medicine is very expensive, even more expensive than ammunition. Li Ankang took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, as long as there is hope of saving the soldiers, we must find a way to save them and don't save on medicine.

I'm here to find a way to solve this matter. We can't just watch the soldiers die in front of us. "

"Yes, General!" The man had no choice but to act as ordered.

In fact, the imperial court's medicines were sufficient, but no one expected that the casualties would be so heavy within three days of the war.
