Chapter 953 A tragic victory

A red sun rose from the east, and the dawn dispelled the long night.

The sea breeze blew away the thick fog that shrouded the battlefield, and the situation on the beach was revealed.

Climbing up the city wall, I saw those merman corpses piled up densely on the beach, which made people get goosebumps.

After the battle, the scene of piles of corpses can still make people feel so shocked, one can imagine what kind of bloody battle went through last night.

If it wasn't for the joint resistance of the Wan Guo and the English, it is very likely that the Wan Guo City has fallen, and the people in the city have already been massacred to death.

"King of Equations, you are a worthy friend."

The Duke of York stretched out his hand to Equation, and he recognized Equation from the bottom of his heart, and for the first time added the title of "King" when addressing Equation.

Fang Fang smiled and said, "You are the same, it's rare to see nobles who can take the lead like you."

No matter what the relationship between the two was before, after fighting the enemy together, they both thought they had found a new ally and were willing to continue this alliance.

"By the way, did you hear the wonderful singing just now?" the Duke of York asked curiously.

"Oh, really?"

Fang Fang shook his head with a smile. Of course he knew what was going on, but he didn't intend to tell the Duke of York about it. He didn't want others to know that Hathaway was the siren princess.

The Duke of York rubbed his temples and muttered to himself: "Well, maybe I was too tired and had an auditory hallucination just now. But it's strange to say that after hearing that singing, I seem to have recovered vitality."

The two looked at the city at the same time. The soldiers and civilians inside were busy and full of energy, and they didn't look like they stayed up all night.

The Duke of York only felt that all this was amazing, but he didn't know what happened.

"Now, we should send someone to clean up the battlefield."

"Send some soldiers out and bring back all the shark corpses."

When the Duke of York heard that the merman corpses were going to be brought back, he showed a shocked expression, "No way, those are the corpses of demons, are you going to bring them all to the city?"

Fang Fang nodded and said: "Yes, the oil refined from them is the most effective thing against these monsters."

"You promised me that you would tell me the secret after the battle." The Duke of York still remembered the promise of Equation on the battlefield.

"The reason why those braziers can disperse the sharks is because the braziers are full of shark oil." Now that Fang Fang and the Duke of York are allies, he has nothing to hide from him, so he told him the truth. "When shark oil is ignited, it will produce a special smell, which we humans cannot smell, but sharks will be very afraid of this smell, so that they dare not approach it easily."

The Duke of York had an expression of "So that's how it is". Before, he couldn't figure out why those mermen didn't dare to get close after the fire was ignited under the city wall. Now he finally figured out what was going on.

"Won't the flame of shark oil go out?"

The Duke of York is full of doubts. These fires have been burning from midnight until now, and there is no sign of extinguishing them, which is very incredible.

Fang Fang said: "Squid oil is very flame-resistant. A little bit of shark oil can burn for more than ten days. As long as such a large amount of shark oil is not extinguished artificially, it can burn for at least several months."

The Duke of York said with emotion: "This thing is amazing."

Fang Fang smiled and said: "It is the guarantee that our ships can safely pass through this sea area. With shark oil, those sharks dare not attack our ships rashly."

"Oh, it turns out that you use shark oil to restrain sharks."

"Hehehe, there is a poem in China called 'Cooking beans burns Osmunda, the beans are weeping in the cauldron, they grow from the same root, why fry them too quickly' says something similar to this situation."

The Duke of York did not understand the meaning of the poem, but he could still understand the meaning of the equation when he heard the metaphor of cooking beans with beanstalks.

Now his thinking has changed again. When the battle just ended, what he thought was to quickly gather the soldiers and leave this terrifying sea immediately while the merman retreated.But now that he knew about shark oil, it turned out that shark oil was an important material to ensure the safe navigation of ships in this sea area. If his ship wanted to leave here and return to England smoothly, it would be necessary to prepare some shark oil.

"Let's send soldiers to bring back the corpses of those mermaids," said the Duke of York.

"Okay, let's get started."

Of course, Fang Fang was happy. Those mermaid corpses on the beach were treasures. It would be too wasteful to throw them outside. Only by taking those corpses back quickly can people feel at ease.

First, there were the merman corpses in the city, and then the merman corpses blocking the north and south gates. After cleaning up these two corpses, the soldiers came outside the city to clean up the merman corpses on the battlefield.

For the soldiers of Wan Guo, this is not the first time they have done such a thing, and they don't feel anything about it; those English soldiers still feel lingering fear when they see the terrifying appearance of the mermaids, thinking of the bloody battle last night. It is this kind of monster that makes people feel a chill inexplicably.

There are mainly ordinary mermen in the city, and there are many larger male mermen on the beach outside, as well as fighting mermen like hills.

After statistics: there are 4034 common merman corpses; 303 male merman corpses; 32 combat merman corpses.

These corpses were transported into the city, and they were really piled up into a mountain of corpses. In the end, there was no more room for them in the city, so they could only build earthen stoves and iron pots outside the city. grease.

In the battle last night, the Yuren suffered heavy losses, and Wanguo and Yingji also suffered heavy losses.

Wan Guo: 76 soldiers were killed and 48 were injured; 82 civilians were killed and 123 were injured.

England: 34 soldiers killed and 42 wounded.

Judging from the damage ratio of the two sides in the battle alone, the defending side can be regarded as a big victory.

But this is only the battle damage caused by the joint efforts of the two sides, relying on the city walls to defend and the artillery to retreat the enemy.

It is conceivable that if there were not dozens of artillery pieces placed on the city wall by the English, the city of all nations would have been destroyed last night.

"It's not good, it's not good, the big thing is not good!"

On the city wall, Equation and the Duke of York were talking about the previous ten cannons.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of Dirac yelling in a panic, and after a while, this reckless guy climbed up the city wall.

"Dirac, what are you yelling for?" The Duke of York was dissatisfied when he interrupted the conversation.

"My lord, something is wrong, Wallace he he he he... is dead!"
