Reaper's Wings

Chapter 212 The First Naval Battle

Time: 13-10-18

After resting all night, Shui Canglang finally started his second wave of attack. Although he had sent the ship back for supplies, he must have a sense of crisis now, and it is best to fight quickly. This Dongfang Building is not like He imagined it to be so easy to deal with.

And Dongfang Lou also knew that there was only one way left in front of him, dragging the navy of Soochow on the sea, how to drag, only with life to fill, but how much life will be used to fill it.

The Soochow [-] giant warships in front started, connected end to end, like a moving fortress. Although most of the soldiers on it were soldiers, they walked on the ground like walking on the ground, without the slightest discomfort.

These soldiers are completely capable of hand-to-hand combat, so Shui Canglang didn't have any arrogance this time, but directly drove over a thousand giant ships, surrounded by [-] ordinary warships.

Although the speed of the giant warship is slow, I will press it like this to see if you can take it. If you don’t take it, you will press it directly to the coastline. If the Soochow people successfully land and occupy a small area, then their Supplies are no longer a problem.

Therefore, the bottom line of Dongfang Building is not to let the Soochow people reach the shore, but to delay as much as possible.

For this reason, Dongfang Lou organized his [-] warships into [-] teams, with [-] warships forming a team.

The last eight fleets consisted of mixed types of personnel on each ship, including defensive soldiers with shields and armor, attacking soldiers with various weapons, and finally sailors who were proficient in operating ships.

However, the eight fleets at the forefront are only skilled sailors and armored shield soldiers, and at some point in front of the ships, a huge triangular steel spear has been hung, covered with the same black canvas as the hull.

"The first team starts, the empire will remember you!"

Dongfang Building saluted the first batch of [-] ships that were about to set off to block the attack, with a somewhat solemn expression. Following the semaphore, the team began to slowly approach the warships of Soochow, and the team behind the [-] ships It is a little far away from them.

Boom boom boom!

The war drums wailed, like a passionate movement, seeing them off.

The sound of war drums, the shouts of the South Korean soldiers on the warships, and the speed of the impact of the ships gave Shui Canglang reason to believe that this was a blockade by the Soochow Navy.

"Send a thousand ordinary warships to meet the enemy ahead, and the giant warships will follow!"

Although there were not many casualties in the Soochow Navy last time, the thousands of ordinary warships scuttled by the Dongfang Building at the cost of the lives of [-] soldiers caused heavy losses in supplies. At the time of the report, he immediately ordered the transfer of [-] supplies to return to the country for supply.

Because the consumption of supplies is faster than he imagined.

Soochow is used to being rich, so the treatment of soldiers is very good, especially the food. If you want soldiers to work hard, at least let them eat enough, so the food of Soochow soldiers has always been abundant, and they also let it go. Open to eat.

However, after the [-] material ships left this time, in order to make rational use of the materials, Shui Canglang had ordered the soldiers who did not directly participate in the battle to reduce the consumption of food and fresh water resources. With the coercion of the army commander, it continued, but if this situation lasted for a long time, it would become even worse.

Therefore, Shui Canglang will not give South Korea any more chances. Thousands of ordinary warships are fighting hand-to-hand in front. He can directly replenish troops from the giant warships and overwhelm South Korea with absolute advantage.

"Hey, aren't you slowing down?"

The analytical lieutenant again said, "Don't they want to hit our ship directly to destroy our ship?"

This time he guessed right, that's what Dongfanglou meant.

"Our boat is much stronger than theirs, and it's much bigger. How could it hit us?"

"Don't be careless!" Shui Canglang didn't dare to underestimate Dongfang Lou now, a person who dared to give up on the battlefield: "Order the whole fleet to stop moving forward."

If the two sides traveling in opposite directions collide, the impact will be the greatest. As long as one side moves, the impact will be greatly reduced. Shui Canglang cannot control the South Korean side, but he can control his own fleet.

Soochow's fleet stopped in this way, waiting for the attack of the South Korean warships.

"Look, the fleet behind the [-] ships in South Korea has also stopped." The adjutant pointed with his finger, and then exclaimed again: "Oh, no, the [-] ships rushing over are on fire."

Needless to say, Shui Canglang has already seen it.

"Are you attacking with fire?" Shui Canglang's eyes flashed: "Let the fleet spread out to both sides, and don't gather together."

Soochow's ships were big and strong, and Dongfanglou never thought of exchanging one of his own ships for another. After Soochow's warships dispersed, he was not surprised.

"The empire will remember you."

Without looking at the battle ahead, Dongfang Lou closed his eyes.

After the bottom-cutting tactic, Dongfang Building’s second delaying tactic is to use fireboats to hit it. The last tactic was successful with the lives of [-] soldiers, but this time he will pay for the lives of the soldiers on the ship and the hard-built ships in South Korea. , and the strategic depth from the South Korean East Sea to the South Korean coast.

"Let's back up!"

The South Korean fleet, which seemed to be the first support force of [-] warships just now, suddenly changed direction and retreated.

At this time, the burning South Korean warship finally met the ordinary warship of Soochow. The South Korean warship did not fight one-on-one, but two-on-one, three-on-one.

Bang!

The triangular steel spear covered by the black canvas was deeply inlaid into the Soochow warship. The two ships were connected together, and the flames on them were spreading towards the Soochow warship.

If only this one ship got stuck, the soldiers on the ordinary warships of Soochow could have rushed over to drive the ship away, or put out the flames with water. After all, the sea has the most abundant water resources.

Unfortunately, three ships used by South Korea collided with one.

Bang bang twice!

The sides of this Soochow ordinary warship were once again stuck by two warships.

If the soldiers on the ordinary warships of Soochow are now able to put out the fire with water immediately, but the fire that followed the impact, and the soldiers who rushed onto the ship.

Armor and shield, they didn't think about killing people, they just came to defend, to buy time, to buy time for the flames to spread.

At the beginning, the Soochow soldiers fought with the South Korean shield soldiers, but as the fire spread, they had to jump into the water. In the water, they saw the South Korean shield soldiers standing in the fire with sad expressions, watching direction of one's own motherland, and then die.

They didn't come to fight, they came to die.

This scene deeply shocked the soldiers of Soochow. They did not die, but their 140 warships were burned by the fire, along with the food, fresh water and other materials in the ships.

The soldiers who were rescued from the water and put on other ships watched their former ship sink in the flames, and they couldn't help wondering if it was a mistake for them to come here to fight.

Shui Canglang looked at the dullness of the burning ship, and at Dongfanglou's decisive retreat, he gritted his teeth and said three words.

"Good plan!"

Taking advantage of the slow speed of the huge ships of Soochow, ordinary warships did not dare to leave too far.

In the beginning, the entire South Korean fleet followed the [-] ships, and it seemed that they were going to engage in a blocking battle with Soochow. However, when the [-] ships approached Soochow's fleet close enough, they suddenly started to burn the ships, causing The Soochow fleet could not escape in time, so it could only spread to reduce casualties.

At this time, Dongfang Building did not hesitate to abandon the five hundred burning ships and lead the other ships to leave.

Shui Canglang believes that if he starts to disperse the fleet when he sees the signs, then Dongfanglou will definitely press the entire team up without hesitation and completely separate his fleet; if he does not disperse the fleet at the very beginning, then They could only load five hundred burning ships, and watch Dongfang Lou lead the other ships to escape.

This is a Yang, either let me exchange your ship with several times the price, or the entire fleet will be completely isolated, and the outcome of the battle will be unpredictable. Although the giant warship is big, it is slow , without the support of ordinary warships, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

"Very good!" Shui Canglang's eyes flashed brightly: "Dongfang Building, let me see how many ships you have to burn, and how many soldiers have come to die."

After saying this sentence, Shui Canglang immediately ordered.

"The whole army rests, and transfers all the materials on the five hundred supply ships to the giant warships and ordinary warships, and then puts the supply ships at the forefront, and we will fight again tomorrow."

The meaning of Shui Canglang is obvious. You want to destroy my ships and supplies at a high price. I will give you the worst ships now, and all the supplies will be transferred. Will you come to exchange them?

When the two armies confronted each other in the sea the next day, Dongfanglou knew Shui Canglang's plan when he saw the formation of Soochow warships, but knowing what to do, Dongfanglou had no choice.

"According to the original plan, the second team is on board!"

On this day, Dongfang Building sank 450 material warships of Soochow at the cost of burning three waves of five hundred warships and the lives of the soldiers on them. When night fell, the war ceased again.

The same was true on the third day, but this time it was more intense, with a total of four waves of impact, and this heavy price was exchanged for the sinking of more than 500 ordinary warships of Soochow!

So far, the casualties of soldiers in South Korea have increased by another [-], and the number of damaged ships has reached [-]; while the loss of Soochow is only [-] material ships and [-] ordinary warships.

Maybe both sides need to sum up this battle. Dongfanglou and Shui Canglang stopped the battle tacitly, announcing the end of the second naval battle between the two sides.

When Dongfanglou and the South Korean soldiers were sad for the sacrifice of their colleagues, besides the need for Soochow to plan carefully before the arrival of supplies, Shui Canglang discovered another thorny problem.

Is this what Dongfang Lou wants to see?
