Chapter 323 Defeat first

(I made a mistake when I looked at the map before. I mistook Kochia Island for the Kingdom of Goa, so the one adjacent to the Kingdom of Goa is not the Kingdom of Ouilet, but Yotsuba Island. The map is attached below)

On September 1520, 9 in the Haiyuan calendar, the battle, which was called the Bandit Suppression War in the early stage, the Four Songs War in the middle stage, and the Revolutionary War in the later stage, officially started.

The direction chosen by Cyborg to attack is Lailong Wharf in Goa Kingdom, which is convenient for ships to enter.

In fact, there is another place suitable for ships to enter, which is the main entrance of the Kingdom of Goa. However, the crazy nobles of the Kingdom of Goa built a wall more than 30 meters high here. Only fools would attack from this side.
The Demon-Slaying Order fleet, led by five vice-admirals, first carried out a carpet bombing of Lailong Port in the Goa Kingdom. This port, which had been specially built for more than ten years to receive the Celestial Dragons, was reduced to ruins in just half a day. .

As the World Government's means of intimidating the world, the Demon-Slaying Order has been used only a few times since its inception, but the effect every time it is used is extremely astonishing.

Under the demon-slaying order, no one thought anyone could survive in the port.

Therefore, when 400 troop transport ships carrying 2 soldiers began to land, these soldiers were still humming songs, and some were still playing and fighting.

Then, they were wiped out by the revolutionary army who emerged from the trenches and air-raid shelters.

The remaining few thousand people saw their teammates falling like wheat, their mentality exploded, and then they simply surrendered.

Soldiers these days have no sense of patriotism. What are you doing with just a few thousand beli's a month?
"What's going on?" Cyborg stood on a warship, looking at the battlefield from a distance with a telescope. When he saw the rows of blazing battle lines, his whole face was full of disbelief.

He turned to look at Weasel, who also had a surprised look on his face: "Impossible, there is no reason why so many people can still be alive under the Demon Slaying Order!"

If 2 people can be wiped out in one wave, the revolutionary army must have or people?
This is the number of people after the demon-slaying order has been plowed through once!

So there were 300,000 to 400,000 people in the revolutionary army before?

Only a ghost can believe it!

"Could it be Dorag who took action?" Cyborg asked.

Dorag can control storms and deflect cannonball trajectories.

Weasel nodded: "It's very possible!"

"Then it must be Dorag who takes action!" Cyborg sneered: "You love your soldiers like your own children, right? I want to see how much energy you have to waste. Come on, keep blowing me up!"

"But our soldiers are still up there!" Weasel quickly advised.

"They have already surrendered!" Cyborg said angrily: "Soldiers who are willing to surrender will be sent to the trial court after being rescued. They are no longer one of our own!"

The weasel was immediately speechless.

Surrendering on the battlefield is indeed much more serious than running away on the battlefield.

"But we have run out of artillery shells!" said the Weasel.

"Now that your shells have been fired, go back!" Cyborg waved his hand: "Leave the rest to us!"

Although Cyborg no longer has the Demon-Slaying Order in his hand, the small and medium-sized warships are not without cannons and can still continue bombing.

However, what he didn't know was that he had cannons and so did the revolutionary army!
The cannons in the hands of the Revolutionary Army are naturally not the most advanced, but they are compared with the cannons of the Demon Slayer Order. Compared with the cannons of ordinary battleships, the range is still no problem!

Moreover, although there are few professional artillerymen in the Revolutionary Army, they are assisted by the goddess of wisdom in shooting, so they are all comparable to artillery gods!
Just as the navy's small and medium-sized warships approached, the revolutionary army quietly pulled out the cannons hidden in the air-raid shelters.

And this scene happened completely under the cover of the smoke of the battlefield, and Cyborg couldn't see anything at all.

Until all the small and medium-sized warships entered the cannon range, Dorag gave an order and thousands of cannons fired!

There are not as many as 10,000 guns. It is just a metaphor. In fact, the revolutionary army only has more than 200 guns that can hit ships at sea.

But there were more than two hundred cannons, and they fired with the momentum of 2000 guns!

Without it, the hit rate is too high!
With the ballistic correction of the goddess of wisdom, the gunners' aim is already accurate. When the cannonballs are flying in the air, the goddess of wisdom can also use the breeze to adjust the trajectory of the cannonballs, making the cannonballs more accurate and the landing position more critical.

For example: ammunition depot!

In the Battle of Jutland, the hit rate of artillery shells from both sides was only 2.17%. Those 200 shells that completely hit were naturally equivalent to a thousand cannons firing at the same time.

"Boom!" Cyborg watched helplessly as several warships exploded in their ammunition depots and then sank into the sea.

These battleships have not only the navy, but also a huge army!

He used a warship as a transport ship to transport troops, and now he used a transport ship as a battleship. When the battleship sank, the army above was naturally unlucky!
"Asshole!!" Cyborg clenched his fist and smashed the fence in front of him: "Retreat quickly and order all warships to retreat!"

But it takes time for a ship to turn around, and since this is a sailing battleship, it will be even more difficult to turn around!
Just as they turned around, the Revolutionary Army's artillery fired three more rounds, and another twenty warships were sunk.

Mainly, some ships have strong men who can cut cannonballs with knives, otherwise the battle damage will be even greater.

After all the warships were out of the cannon range, Cyborg counted the battle losses, and then he almost fainted.

There were a total of 250 small and medium-sized warships, and 39 were sunk in just a short time.

Each small warship has 300 navy and 500 army troops, and the medium-sized warship has 400 navy and 500 army troops. The total number of these lost soldiers is 3.2!

In addition to the 2 soldiers lost during the previous landing, in less than two hours since the war started, the revolutionary army has lost an unknown number of people. The Fifteen-Nation Alliance actually lost 5.2 soldiers?

In fact, not all of the 3.2 soldiers died. At best, a few thousand unlucky ones died, and the rest were either swimming in the sea or lying on the wooden boards.

But no ship was willing to rescue them, as they were afraid of being bombed.

As for these navy swimming over on their own?

Even with the navy's physical strength, it's not impossible.

But don’t forget, this is not the ocean of the earth, this is the world of One Piece.

Even if there are no sea kings in the East China Sea, there will always be many offshore kings.

The blood of sailors and soldiers is as clear as a beacon in the sense of smell of these fishes, and now they have smelled it and come here.

These people are not dead now, but it is no different from being dead.

"Retreat!" Cyborg sighed and waved his hands.

"Just leave like this?" The army staff officer next to him was dumbfounded. He lost so many troops and retreated like this?
"What else can we do if we don't withdraw?" Cyborg said angrily: "Can we continue to land? Or can we continue the shelling?"

The staff was speechless and could only execute the order.

The wave of phone bugs spread among the fleets. The fleets, which were not very active in fighting or rescuing, heard that they were about to retreat, and immediately filled up the sails and moved forward at full speed.

Some of those who ran so fast even ran so fast that even Cyborg could no longer see his shadow.

Cyborg's ship is an admiral-level battleship. It not only has sufficient firepower, but is also the fastest.

However, he did not move forward at full speed, mainly because he was afraid of encountering the Demon-Slaying Order fleet.

After all, he was the marshal of the navy who was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Back then, he was invincible in all battles in the navy, and he was like a god in the hearts of the younger generations of the navy.

Now that we have lost the battle, if the juniors in the navy see this,
Cyborg glanced back again, then was stunned.

He quickly raised his binoculars and looked again.

Sure enough, many small boats appeared at the port of Leilong.

How many are there?

From his distance, these boats might be as big as a leaf, carrying at most 3 to 5 people on them!

But there are hundreds or even thousands of such ships!
"They want to massacre those naval soldiers? But what about that?" Cyborg didn't understand. After all, he just needed to leave them alone. These soldiers would either drown, die of exhaustion, or be eaten by the King of the Offshore.

But he soon discovered that his guess was wrong.

These ships are not there to kill people, but to save people.

They picked up the navy and land forces still floating in the sea one by one and put them on the boat, and then supported the boat and returned home.

When these soldiers landed, they continued to fish for people in the sea.

"Saving people, what's the use?" Cyborg didn't understand. Could these soldiers still be used by you?
There has never been such a precedent in the world, so of course Cyborg didn't understand.

He also didn't know that there were grievance movements and public trials in this world that could quickly transform enemy soldiers into our own.

Moreover, when the enemy's soft-footed shrimp soldiers arrive at our side, they will become as fierce as gods of war.

What? You said there were no nobles on board, so there was no way to conduct a public trial! ?
Without nobles, there are no military leaders?

These military leaders usually beat and scolded soldiers, deducted military pay, set up gambling bureaus to exploit soldiers' property, and sold supplies in the military camp. This kind of thing was not uncommon, and the lower-level soldiers had long hated them.

Take these people out and put them on trial for even a day.

What Cyborg doesn't understand even more is that there are so many boats rescuing people, where is the King of the Offshore? Just looking at it?

I just saw quite a few wandering here!
Little did he know that the King of the Near Sea had long been frightened away by the Goddess of Wisdom.

The method is also very simple. You can use electric shock, ultrasonic waves, or vision shielding.

Thunder in the control of celestial phenomena refers to sound.

Cyborg slowly returned to the Yotsuba Island Naval Base with full of doubts.

After asking the soldiers at the port and confirming that the Demon-Slaying Order fleet had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and then began to convene a meeting with his staff.

The meeting was certainly not about blaming someone, he was not that kind of person, but about studying what was going on in this battle and how it could have ended like this?

Soon, Cyborg summed up several reasons.

First: I didn’t expect that the revolutionary army had the means to resist the Demon-Slaying Order. I didn’t know that there were still resistance forces in the bombed areas, and then they sent troops to land, resulting in the loss of 2 soldiers. Second: I didn’t expect that the revolutionary army had artillery and could fire so accurately and from such a distance. They blindly sent warships carrying the army to act as gunboats for bombardment. As a result, they lost another 3 people.

Third: The demon-slaying order fired all the cannonballs here!

If the Demon-Slaying Order's warship still has cannon shells, the Revolutionary Army's cannons would not dare to fight back, because the Demon-Slaying Order's warship's cannon has a long range and can completely blow up the Revolutionary Army's cannon.

Because he believed in the demon-slaying order so much that he fired all the cannonballs in one wave. When the revolutionary army's artillery fired back, Cyborg was helpless and had no choice.

To sum up, these three reasons are actually one reason.

Insufficient intelligence and insufficient understanding of the revolutionary army!

"I will contact the World Government and request intelligence support from the CP department!" Cyborg's face was ugly. Although this battle was fought like this due to insufficient intelligence, in the final analysis, the problem was with him.

He used to fight so smoothly that he didn't even regard the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army as human beings.

Moreover, the previous revolutionary army was indeed not very good, whether it was grand strategy or small tactics.

But he didn't expect that the revolutionary army would suddenly evolve!

But the problem is not big. Even if I lose 5 people, I still have 45. The advantage is still with me!
"Report!" A signal soldier walked in hurriedly: "The garrison commander of Rogge Town, Navy Colonel Smoker, has arrived with his troops!"

"Huh?" Cyborg was stunned, and his face suddenly darkened: "What happened to Smoker? Why did they come after the battle was over?"

"Chief Smoker said that they encountered heavy fog, and the fleet wandered in the fog for half a day!" said the communications soldier.

Cyborg hammered the table hard.

It was autumn now, and there was nothing he could do about heavy fog. He couldn't blame Smoker for this.

Moreover, the Rogge Town base is the farthest base from the battlefield, so it is understandable that it comes far away.

And Cyborg was a little lucky that Smoker didn't participate in the battle, otherwise he would probably have been sent to bomb the Revolutionary Army positions.

Wouldn't it be impossible to avoid the artillery fire of the revolutionary army?

"Let him come in and participate in the meeting!" Cyborg said.

After a moment, Smoker walked in with sharp eyes, steady steps and a muscular body.

"Sit down, huh?" Cyborg glanced at Smoker casually, and then realized something was wrong: "Are you so imposing?"

"Marshal Bing, I have successfully awakened the domineering power of armed forces and the domineering power of knowledge, and my strength has made great progress!" Smoker said without being humble or arrogant.

"Okay, okay!" Cyborg nodded with satisfaction: "I remember you are only 30 years old this year. You are quite impressive for such an achievement. When you make some contributions in this battle, you will be qualified to serve as a major general when you return. Lieutenant General is a matter of course!"

"Thank you Marshal for your support!" Smoker saluted quickly.

Cyborg nodded with satisfaction.

Before coming to the East China Sea, he specifically asked the navy for relevant information here.

According to the information, Smoker despised his superiors and was unruly.

Why didn't I see it?

This kid is pretty good!

Because I saw the outstanding juniors, even the bad mood caused by the defeat has improved a lot now.

"Although the attack in the morning did not go well!" It was obvious that the battle was defeated, but when it came to Cyborg's mouth, it just didn't go well.

“But it’s not all without gain!”

"The revolutionary army deployed a large number of soldiers at Lailong Port for defense. They also have cannons with a range that exceeds the range of small and medium-sized warships!"

"I will contact the World Government for intelligence support, and at the same time investigate the source of the Revolutionary Army's cannons!" Cyborg looked at the 15 captains of the Navy.

Don't ask why there are only 20 colonels in 15 branches. Five of them died just now.

Among these 15 colonels, there was one with a sinister look, and he was actually Colonel Mouse of the 16th branch of the Navy.

Hina reported the matter of Rat, but Rat’s backend is really tough, and with the station open, the Navy has no way to replace people at this time.

"You continue to lead people to block the route, and make sure that not a single gun, not a single bullet, not a single cannon can enter the Kingdom of Goa!"

"Then when will we launch the second attack?" asked the army staff officer next to him.

"Wait for the Navy's demon-slaying fleet to replenish ammunition!!" Cyborg said calmly.

The landing operation would cause huge casualties, and he could see how those 20,000 soldiers died.

There are dense bullets in front of you, there is endless sea water behind you, and there is a muddy beach under your feet. You can't walk fast even if you want to. You are a living target.

Although the Demon-Slaying Order fleet cannot eliminate the defenders on land, it can still suppress them and prevent them from taking the lead.

Therefore, Cyborg's strategy is very simple. Let the Demon-Slaying Order fleet fire artillery to suppress it, and the army will take advantage of the opportunity to land.

When the revolutionary army loses its terrain advantage, won't it have to go head-to-head with the army?

No matter how strong the revolutionary army's will to fight is, our army's victory lies in its large numbers, and even if these 40 are defeated, they can continue to be replenished, and the revolutionary army will be exhausted!

"Winning revolution on an isolated island is the worst choice you have ever made in your life!"

All in all, the advantage is with me!

Cyborg slapped the table, as if he had seen the moment of victory.

Until another signal soldier walked in quietly.

"What's the matter?" Cyborg asked.

"That!" the signal soldier handed over a phone bug: "Marshal's phone number from the Navy Headquarters!!"

"Huh?" Ganggu's face darkened. I only lost 39 battleships and 5 branch colonels. Did you start an army to hold the country accountable during the Warring States Period?

He took the phone bug and said angrily: "Warring States, do you know what I am doing? I am annihilating the revolutionary army! In such a war, even I may die, let alone five colonels!"

"What five colonels?" Seng Guo asked.

"Aren't you here to hold the five colonels accountable?" Cyborg frowned: "Is that about the 39 battleships? Those are all small and medium-sized battleships, one of which is not worth much. I will report it to the World Government later and ask them to Let them make it up for you!”

"Five colonels, 39 warships?" Warring States finally knew what Cyborg was talking about, and then he took a breath of cold air: "What's going on? Didn't the war just start? Why are the losses so huge?"

"The revolutionary army's firepower is a bit fierce. I suspect it is supported by some force!" Cyborg said with a dark expression.

Sengoku was stunned and immediately thought of Doflamingo.

If you want to say that it is strong, it may be because the Revolutionary Army has recruited some powerful characters.

But to say that it has strong firepower, it should have purchased a lot of arms.

Doflamingo, isn't he an arms seller?
but!

"I'm not calling you to talk about this!" Warring States said.

"Oh? What's that?" Cyborg asked.

"Ace is caught!"

"Who?"

"Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the Second Division, Ace!"

Cyborg's face suddenly became serious.

He had also been a naval marshal and had fought against Whitebeard, so he knew what kind of temper this man had.

He truly treats the pirates under his command as sons, especially the squad captain, who is at the level of his own son.

Now that one of his sons has been arrested, one can imagine Whitebeard's reaction.

"What are you going to do?" Cyborg asked: "Keep the news? Or go to war with Whitebeard?"

"Listen to me!" Sengoku said: "After investigation, we found that Ace is not only the captain of Whitebeard's Second Division, he is also the son of Pirate King Roger!"

"What?" Cyborg was stunned and immediately thought of something.

Roger's saber is Ace!

And if you count them by age, Ace seems to be right!

"Don't say that he is just Whitebeard's adopted son. Even if he is Whitebeard's biological son, we cannot let him go, let alone the biological son of Pirate King Roger!" Sengoku said in a deep voice: "After discussion, our Navy Headquarters decided to Ace performs a public execution!”

"But!" Cyborg frowned: "If you usually execute whatever you like, but I am still destroying the revolutionary army, and I need the help of the navy!"

"Of course our navy will help!" Warring States said: "Public executions are not now. We need to deploy elite troops to the navy headquarters. During this period, there will be a window of more than two months. During these two months, the demons will be slain. The fleet can be handed over to you, but they must return after two months!"

"Two months is enough!" Cyborg nodded confidently. Although I just suffered a defeat, it was due to insufficient intelligence.

Now that I know you can resist the Demon-Slaying Order and you have cannons, how can I give you another chance for a sneak attack?
