Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 603 Breaking into the Sea of ​​Fire, Ten Ironclad Ships
In April, autumn is crisp.

When the battlefield on the northern continent was fiercely fought, ten iron-clad ships that pierced through the ocean and stepped on the huge waves showed their sharpness for the first time in this foreign sea area.

"Liu Rengui, the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, has met the governor." On a small island in the outer sea, Liu Rengui met Lu Su.

"General Liu Rengui, the main force in this battle is only your ten ironclad ships and more than 2 soldiers on board."

"Are you sure you can deal with the main force of the Roman Empire's 12 navy?"

"Please rest assured, the governor. The warship I am commanding this time has a displacement of 3000 tons. There are two main guns at the bow, with a caliber of 200mm, and 500 side string guns. There are 500 musketeers, [-] archers, and [-] sailors on board." [-] people."

"Enough to deal with any crisis."

"Okay, but the governor still wants to transfer the two generals Zhu Ran and Zhu Ju to you."

"Each ironclad ship of yours will be equipped with 2 soldiers on deck, a total of [-], so that when you smash through the enemy's formation, you can also hold up shields for your musketeers and archers. "

"In that case, thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

At nightfall, Lu Su bid farewell to the Nanyang Fleet that was heading north from the entrance of the Red Sea in the dark.

"This is the first battle after the ironclad ship was launched."

"I don't know whether the steam-powered iron-clad ship highly respected by His Majesty can really create an invincible record in the sea."

Main, a small country on the east coast of the Red Sea.

At this moment, the fleet of the Roman Empire is docking here.

"Everyone, a month ago, we frightened the big man's naval fleet. There were more than 2000 main battleships and 20 elite naval forces. If we were on the Red Sea, we would not have to fight. will be killed by them."

"It's a pity that they didn't go all the way to the north to get into our trap. Otherwise, we wouldn't be stuck on the coast of the Red Sea and dare not go south."

"But they can't kill them at this moment."

"We can keep this channel to communicate with the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations, and the transfer of money and food will be unimpeded."

"General Hiber."

"What's the matter?" Xibel, who was drunk, looked out the door with some dissatisfaction.

"Reporting to the general, we have discovered the movement of enemy warships on the surface of the Red Sea."

"Oh?"

Xibel stood up abruptly, "They still dare to come. Haven't we put wooden planks and bamboo rafts back on the barrel array we arranged on the sea to make them float on the sea?"

"How many ships?"

"The sentry ship found that there are at least ten ships."

"Ten ships?"

Xie Beier laughed, "Even if it is the most powerful Zheng He's treasure ship, ten warships, with a full load of more than 1 people, what is the use?"

"Come here, gather [-] warships and wait in full force north of the barrel formation. In addition, gather our soldiers and horses to guard the coast of the Red Sea."

"Don't worry about it."

"Come on, keep drinking."

"Yes."

There was a change of cups in the house, and after a while, Xibel was drunk like mud.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a sudden explosion outside the house, as if something had exploded.

Hiber was in a daze when he saw a soldier rushing in with panic on his face.

"General Hiber, it's not good."

"What's the matter? The enemy is coming?"

"It's not...it's the Han army. Their navy warships detonated the heavy oil barrels we set up on the sea."

"Oh, tell the soldiers upstream to keep going downstream with the barrel."

"The sky is full of fire on the sea, is there still a warship that can survive?"

Hiber waved his hand.

"I will continue to sleep, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

In the room, it fell silent.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering shout of killing outside.

"What happened?"

The sky was about to brighten in front of him, and Xibel walked out crookedly.

"squeak"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw countless big Han soldiers in iron armor on the beach, shooting and killing the Roman soldiers blocking the door one after another by firing guns.

He rubbed his eyes hard.

"not good."

"Enemy attack!"

"General, we are covering your retreat, you should leave quickly."

"Where's the barrel on the sea?"

"Where is the sea of ​​fire?"

"Hasn't the enemy army been blocked from the south by more than 30 new troops assembled by the Allied Forces of the Ten Nations? How did they get under their noses?"

Hiber has reached this juncture, and is still asking why.

"General, look at the coast."

"Ok?"

Xibel looked intently, and then... his mouth opened wide suddenly, "Those iron bumps, something like a big mountain, are they ships?"

"It's the iron-clad ships of the Han Empire. They can pass through the sea of ​​fire. Moreover, the iron-clad ships of the Han army have powerful artillery. They bombarded our camp indiscriminately before and then launched a surprise attack. Our big camp on the shore is already gone. .”

"what……"

Xibel's face was pale, "What about the two hundred warships assembled on the sea?"

"Can they withdraw from the encirclement?"

Seeing that the enemy army had advanced a hundred paces away, Hiber had cut off any thought of escaping, and now he only wanted to let some of his navy escape and keep some fire for the Roman navy.

"It's all gone..."

"These ironclad ships, in water battles, have artillery, and this sturdy iron armor, even if our catapults throw it, it is difficult to leave a trace on it, perhaps... only artillery can deal with this kind of ironclad ships. "

"Cannon..."

The detailed work of the Roman Empire found out that the Han Empire built a military factory in Tiannan Prefecture, which could produce ten artillery pieces and five hundred flintlock guns every day.

But it was too far away from their Roman Empire.

If you want to get there and break through the blockade of a million Han troops, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.

"Kill!"

After two or three discharges of guns, there were only two or three hundred people left in front of Hiber.

"You are Hiber, the governor of the Roman Navy."

"The generals of the defeated army dare not call themselves governors. From the beginning, our Roman Empire did not have a complete navy army. It was just me, the navy general who commanded the fishing team, who reluctantly took the post and took them into the sea. "

"So, losing to you is not ashamed."

"However, if you want me to surrender, then you are wishful thinking."

"I, Xibel, have lost this battle, and I have no face to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Roman Empire."

"You kill me."

After Xibel finished speaking, he directly raised his neck, waiting to be killed.

"Ah!"

Zhu Ju sneered, "If you really wanted to die, then you would have committed suicide just now."

"Come on, take him down."

"If you don't give him food, he will be hungry for two meals first."

"If you don't obey me again, just cut off one hand."

"He only has five limbs in total. The general wants to see how long he can last."
