C478 South China Sea War (4)

The skilled Qin Army sailors were controlling the battleships and retreating from the battlefield. Under the same conditions as the battleships, the speed of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet would never be able to catch up to the Qin Army. Seeing that the tactic she had created could attack the Qin Army, Toowoomba was ecstatic. He ordered the entire fleet to rush up quickly to increase the success of the battle.

But now, he discovered that his hands and feet were actually bound. In order to prevent Qin Army's ships from inflicting fatal damage to their main battleships, he had all of the smaller battleships cover the surroundings of the main battleship. No matter which direction Qin Army attacked from, they would be stopped by the battleships that carried the "meat bullet" nature.

Toowoomba could only watch as the original horizontal single-file attack formation was adjusted to a vertical geese formation. Zhou Yang stood at the stern of the flag fleet, he looked at the eight battleships that were burning with fire, and his face involuntarily twitched, this kind of loss was unbearable for Zhou Yang. The equipment of a single cavalry soldier was enough to equip five walking apoplexy s, while the equipment of a navy soldier, including warships, was more than ten times that of a cavalry army. Although the wealth of the Qin State was strong, the number of warships that could adapt to the oceanic environment was only about fifty, other than the large amount of damage caused by the storm in the Ocean America, the Qin State Navy was at a disadvantage.

Just then, an earth-shattering explosion came from behind. Without even needing Zhou Yang to know, it was a result of the fire that caused the cannons and cannons to explode. The might of hundreds of cannonballs was enough to tear any battleship in this era to pieces. The few battleships that were set on fire also joined the ranks of the martyrs from time to time. "Break the ships' ships, detonate!" "Break the ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships' ships'.

The sails filled with sea breeze, the ship began to speed up, the waves they stirred slammed against the bottom of the ship, and the ship was almost jumping over the waves. In fact, fighting on the sea was definitely not like fighting on land. During a decisive battle between large groups, both sides could gather their manpower and material resources to choose a suitable place to fight and determine victory or defeat.

If Zhou Yang didn't rely on the sharpness of the cannons, the speed of their battleship wouldn't have caused such a heavy loss. If they were on land, even if many armies resorted to such suicidal means, they would still be unable to break through the crossbow formation on the two wings of the Qin Army. However, this moment of carelessness caused an irreparable loss.

Zhou Yang was not frustrated by the loss in front of him. After he left the battlefield, he immediately gathered all the generals from the various tribes and called a summary meeting for the battle on the flagship. Zhou Yang suddenly took off his helmet, knelt on the ground, and spoke with determination: "Brothers, it was I, Zhou Yang who harmed you, you guys go ahead, I will not let your blood flow in vain, I will definitely avenge you."

At the beginning of the meeting, the naval men on the remaining thirty or so battleships began to sing the majestic naval song. This war song, which was originally full of excitement, was now filled with a sorrowful sound. As the soul of a unit, the supreme commander of a unit, he could not lose his mind at any time or under any circumstances.

Before the meeting started, Zhou Yang suddenly did something unexpected. He suddenly unsheathed his blade and cut off a strand of his hair. Zhou Yang said: In this battle, my carelessness caused this tragic defeat. As the main general, after considering for a long time, I have thought about it thoroughly, so as to let this entire army lose, so the crime should be beheaded. Today, I will take the lead, and after defeating Yue Yang, I will ask for the Emperor's forgiveness!

As he said that, Zhou Yang's gaze suddenly sharpened. He slowly looked around at the generals, and said word by word, "His Majesty had once said, we look down on the enemy strategically, and value the enemy strategically. But now, we look down on the enemy strategically and strategically, so we should not underestimate the enemy carelessly.

"Next, we invite the General Staff to serve as the summary of this battle!"

These staff officers were all made up of outstanding students from the Maritime Affairs Department of the Qin State Imperial Academy. Their duties were only to analyze the strength and various battle tactics of the two sides on the battlefield, and were not qualified to control the generals of the various fleets in the Qin Army.

At this moment, a few young staff officers began to arrange themselves on the blank screen. This screen was made of iron, and could absorb the magnets on top. Many small magnets with fleet models stuck to them were affixed to the screen.

He only received one staff officer and said: "All of our Qin State's are equipped with cannons, and our army has an innate advantage in terms of range. But this time, the Fleet of the Manchu fleet used a formation that is similar to the five-point Plum Blossom Array, on the periphery are their broken little battleships that do not have much combat strength, and this type of small warship's characteristic is its flexibility, which is far more flexible than our cannon-boats, so no matter which direction we attack from, the first thing we come into contact with them are those kind of small ships."

"However, from a formation, there is a similarity between this type of formation and the Black Tortoise Formation of the Qin Army's infantry. That is, at the same time that we defend, we use our advantage to effectively exhaust the enemy's strength. As long as their small warships can stop our gunboat, they will use their large warships to quickly close in on us and attack us. Fortunately, our army's retreat speed is relatively fast this time, otherwise, our losses will be huge! "

"Fleet of the Manchu fleet, more people, more battleships, this is their advantage. In addition to their fire attack strategy, it is impossible for us to win if we go all out!"

Zhou Yang said: "Could it be that there's no way to break through their five point Plum Blossom Array?"

The staff officer said, "In reality, their formation is not omnipotent. There is one fatal flaw in their formation, and that is that their speed of travel is slower than ours. Then, we can slowly knock out all of these meatball attack type starships on the outskirts of them and then have a decisive battle with them! "

The Wandering Dragon Formation used the cavalry's advantage in speed to form a huge circle around the enemy, and then the cavalry would shoot at them from the outside, layer by layer killing the enemy's life force. The Wandering Dragon Formation fully utilized the cavalry's advantage in shooting, and it did not directly collide with the enemy, but instead slowly strangled the enemy like a meat grinder. In fact, the one who invented this formation was not Xie Fei, but the Mongolian army that appeared eight hundred years later.

First, there are too many warships in the Fleet of the Manchu fleet, and even at the moment, they are still more than fifty times our speed. Furthermore, our warships cannot be compared to the speed of the galloping war horses, they will make use of the fact that we are still spinning, and at the same time, set up an obstacle in front of our army. At that time, the first one to lose is us!

If we were to use this method to eliminate all of the Fleet of the Manchu fleet in one fell swoop, our army would need at least ten times more power than we currently have!

The staff officer smiled embarrassedly.

"Isn't it equivalent to not saying anything!" Zhou Yang said in his heart. Of course, he did not try to discourage this staff officer, but asked him instead, "Even if we bring in the First and Second Fleets together, our strength would still not be enough if we only increased it by two points. Therefore, this method was impossible to achieve. Now, do we have any other way? "

After talking for a while, one of the staff officers came out and said, "The other way is for us to keep our distance from the sea and not charge directly. Instead, he was using the advantage of the cannon's range to slowly wear them down. Just like in the land guerrilla warfare, during the course of the movement, we will eliminate the enemy! "

Zhou Yang said: "The enemies are not idiots, they will not use their heads to clash with our blades, after they have suffered enough, will they still fight us to the death like this? If they land near the coast, how can we resist them? You must know, Jiao Prefecture and Guangzhou have just pledged their allegiance to our Great Qin, if they see that our Great Qin is at a disadvantage, they would most likely change their flag and change their appearance. If this is the case, causing the Jiao Prefecture, Guangzhou and Xiangzhou to lose control, we are all sinners of the Qin State.

"Generals, please look. If our army can pass through the small boats on the outskirts of Fleet of the Manchu fleet, we can also harm the enemy in one fell swoop." This staff officer was actually carrying an airship, passing by many small ships on the outer perimeter!

If Xie Fei was present, he would definitely be struck by lightning. This fellow was too shocking, he actually thought of using the air to control the sea! In a thousand years, he would definitely be someone great! If Xie Fei was here, he would definitely value this mysterious person. However, Zhou Yang was not Xie Fei.

Zhou Yang said: My idea is not bad, all the airships in our army combined only have eleven, they can't carry enough Heaven Bombing grenade s to sink any of the large warships, at most, they can only kill the people on the upper deck! If you want to annihilate the Fleet of the Manchu fleet's main force in one go, you might as well forget about the heavens! "

The staff officer could not help but shout: "This is just talk on paper. In fact, in the battle at sea, we need the close cooperation of the ships, the skilled navigation skills of the sailors, and the ability to communicate with each other at all times. We don't need to blow them all down!" We only need to destroy their command system and cause chaos.

"That's enough of you! Liang Zhen, let me tell you, pay attention to your identity and attitude! You're just a trainee adviser! Right now, the people in front of you are all elders of my Great Qin's navy. All of them have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten! How can I allow you to cause trouble without reason! " An experienced staff officer immediately reprimanded.

Liang Zhen, unwilling to be outdone, said, "If we don't try, how will we know if it won't work!"

Zhou Yang said: "Tell me your reason!"

Liang Zhen said, "No matter how elite the troops are, if they lost their command system, they would become a pile of sand. If we could use the airship to directly destroy the enemy's command system from the air, then the Fleet of the Manchu fleet would become a mess.

At this time, a naval general asked, "According to the investigation of the airships, there are no less than 200 large warships in Fleet of the Manchu fleet, how are you going to find their flagship and their command system?"

The Fleet of the Manchu fleet and the rest did not use their flag language to transmit their auras, but rather, used their traditional small boats to transmit their auras. During today's battle, we discovered that one of the docked command ships had reached the speed limit of fifty-seven times, which was close to the number of times the command ship had been dispatched, so we can speculate that this battleship, even if it is not their governor, is still their command system!

A huge fleet that was far from the mainland would need a large amount of supplies, and the energy consumed by almost a hundred thousand people was an astronomical figure. Toowoomba began to worry. After this battle at sea, he had a clear understanding of the gap between The Republic of Korea and himself. If Qin State had a huge fleet like them, they would have no chance of winning. Even if the The Republic of Korea was wealthy, they wouldn't be able to withstand such huge consumption.

The strongest in the The Republic of Korea was not their navy, but their land force. They had an elephant army of a super scale, and according to historical records, when the The Republic of Korea was in her prime, she had fifty thousand elephants and fifty thousand chariots. At its peak, The Republic of Korea had fourteen Aksoschini s. In other words, The Republic of Korea had seven hundred thousand battle elephant s and seven hundred thousand chariots. If it was really like how they recorded history, Ah San should have been able to sweep the entire world. become the overlord of the world)

Even if Toowoomba did not consider the issue of replenishment, they were unable to injure the very core of the Qin State's fleet. Although they had lost eight battleships this time, they had suffered more losses, and even if they had lost more, because the Qin State was too close to their homeland, they could still make up for it. If this continued, forget about destroying the Qin Army, even if they could escape, it would still be a problem.

Even if they managed to eliminate all the Qin Army's battleships, they would still be on land, and would be able to reach the Founan State directly by land. Although the jungle road was extremely difficult, it was much more convenient compared to the The Republic of Korea. When the Toowoomba was about to give the order to retreat. He realized that the Qin Army battleship in front of him had slowed down.

The chase at sea was an interesting hunting game. Whoever lost their cool first would perish first.

The word "retreat" was just about to come out of his mouth when Toowoomba hastily changed his words: "Charge, small warship, flank flank, break through!"
