Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"How could this be... How could this be?"

His fight was in a mess at the moment. He only knew that the enemy army was powerful, but how could it be so outrageous? He didn't even hear how many rounds the enemy fired, but his own battleship was directly blown up?

How can I fight this? Oh my god, are you kidding me?

"Captain, please go to a safe place. It's too dangerous on the deck!"

The guards on the side were very anxious. They were still deploying and observing the formation, but the opponent sank the frigate next to them with one shot. The captain was almost thrown into the water by the shock wave. Fortunately, they were quick-witted, otherwise, without a captain at the beginning, the battle would be useless.

"Get off!!"

The captain roared, "Look at the frigate next door. Tell me, where is safe after our ship was hit! I'm not going anywhere! Pass my order, all ships disperse as soon as possible! Pull up the sails and quickly approach the enemy! Don't use encirclement tactics anymore, light ships quickly approach and entangle the enemy to force them to return to defense! Otherwise, our battleships will be wiped out soon! ”

Unfortunately, however, it is too late to react now.

The sailors who were swimming on the water saw a white wave approaching quickly and thought it was a big fish. They hurriedly swam quickly on the water in a panic trying to avoid it. There are many water monsters in the Yangtze River, and who knows what kind of man-eating creatures there might be.

However, the white wave just passed by them quickly and swam towards the main ship.

"what is that???"

Strong doubts arose in their hearts, and soon, a black, round object jumped out of the water and quickly rose into the air, with its two small claws firmly fixed on the hull.

"what???"

Before he had time to think, another explosion was heard. The main ship that exploded from the side capsized due to the violent impact. The commander of the main ship was completely helpless this time. The capsizing and the explosion impact directly blew him and several of his bodyguards away. Almost at the same time, several other main ships in the battleship also began to explode.

Above the sky, two small planes carrying a little Goliath landed on the deck of the ship. The little guy drilled into the cabin through the big hole blasted by its predecessors and went straight to the ammunition compartment, and then there was a second explosion.

Goliath attacked from two directions, underwater and in the air, catching all the navy off guard. The huge power of the explosion made them unable to resist, and the entire fleet quickly went to destruction in a sea of ​​fire.

The light ships still in the distance had not received orders from the main ship before they discovered that the main ship was gone. Now the problem came. The orders from above asked them to carry out containment until the main ship deployed its formation and engaged the opposite side. Now that the main ship was gone, should they continue to contain it?

Moreover, the main ship was more than ten meters in size and was destroyed by a single cannon shot. If I go on my small sampan, wouldn’t I be blown away along with the people and the boat?

"Listen up, all enemy troops! Your main force has been destroyed! Surrender immediately, and we promise that we will never attack you again! Raise the white flag and surrender immediately, and give up resistance, otherwise you will be regarded as an enemy by our army and will be annihilated!"

If the wind is favorable, you must surrender. Now that the main force of the enemy has been destroyed, why not speak loudly now? During the construction of Yangzhou, many former Yangzhou soldiers wanted to join the Volunteer Army, but because the other side's military system was a military pay system, which was different from the Volunteer Army's system, Jiang Han did not agree at the first time. Instead, after a series of education and review, he absorbed the other party after confirming that the other party could accept and fight for the Volunteer Army's ideals.

During this siege, there were many sailors and naval forces who surrendered.

They were so happy now. Where had they fought such a rich battle in their lives? It was unthinkable to directly destroy the enemy's battleship from 800 miles away.

"Record the locations where these ships sank, mark them on the map, and ask the salvage team to come and salvage them later."

The Ming Dynasty ships were all good. Their main structures were all made of mahogany, which was quite strong. They had considerable defensive capabilities against foreign artillery fire. They were much stronger in structure than Dutch oak ships. The strength of the mahogany keel warships was two to three times that of the oak structures.

Later, after the wild boars came to power, they felt that it was too wasteful to use this thing as a warship, so they switched to using a paulownia keel with lower structural strength. Because the wild boars did not understand boats, they did not even consider it. They only needed it to be sufficient for inland use. So they dismantled all the mahogany warships of the Qing Dynasty and used them as furniture for the Eight Banners people.

Although these warships were blown up, the keels of the warships were spliced ​​together, so they could still be used after a little modification. Even if they couldn't be used to make ships, they could still be used to make furniture. This was all money! The remaining flooded cannons and the like were accepted by Jiang Han to fill the resource library.

Hearing the shouts coming from the pirate warship, the officers and soldiers on the warships looked at each other in confusion: "What should we do, Captain? Should we surrender...?"

Some people are not afraid of death. After seeing the tragic situation of the main fleet, the resistance of the naval officers and soldiers has been eliminated by more than half. Their main warship has been broken into pieces without even touching the opponent, and is now flooding with water. The large gap that occupies more than half of the entire hull is filling the entire warship with water.

"How can the Ming army surrender so easily? Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The captain of a light ship gritted his teeth, he was unwilling to accept this. As officers of the navy, they were beaten to pieces by the enemy without even a decent resistance in this naval battle. He couldn't accept such a gap, but it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender like this.

My loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is evident to all!

"Get closer to the enemy's warships! Their artillery fire is fierce, try to get closer to engage in a boarding battle!!"

They had no chance in terms of firepower. The firepower that could tear apart a capital ship would smash their small warships into pieces. However, they were the Ming navy! As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would resist! !

boom! ! !

Faced with the rapidly approaching Ming army ships, Jiang Han's fleet finally fired its first real shots.

The powerful shells directly hit the bow of the approaching ship. The huge impact smashed the bow of the entire warship directly into the water, and the stern was lifted high. Then there was a violent explosion, and the bow of the entire warship was torn apart. The remaining half of the hull was directly overturned by the strong impact brought by the explosion. The people on the ship could even see the keel of the ship's bottom blown into the air!

"Let us repeat it again. Give up resistance and hoist the white flag on the mast. Our army promises not to harm you! Do not resist in vain! Understand the situation..."

The khaki front armor is extremely thick, and the muzzle of the huge prismatic cannon in the middle is still emitting a charging blue light. The well-structured hind legs support the body, making it as steady as a rock under the powerful recoil of the artillery.

Steel Lion, one of the military's conventional combat mechas, was invaded by Iron Blood and then defeated by the commander. The thick armor allows it to cope with the fierce frontal firepower, and the powerful bombardment can also increase the firepower through charging, making it a nightmare for medium and large targets on the battlefield.

Jiang Han spent a long time in the fusion pool this time and found a lot of sunken ships, but didn't get any bosses. However, he did get several mechas. He also took out these three when he attacked Zhenjiang this time. Because of his size, it was not easy for Qiang Wudi to be brought on the warship because he was too big.

It can be said that bringing these three mechas here is like three admirals of the navy entering the East China Sea and starting to kill indiscriminately.

Volume 213: Chapter Chapter : We promise not to use dogs first unless we can't help it

Faced with such fierce firepower, the Ming navy driving the small sampans really had no choice. The tactical execution was fine, all the steps were fine, but the opponent's speed was really not good. They had already circled around the two sides of the enemy army with the advantages of shallower draft and lighter weight, but it was of no use.

Most of the small warships are equipped with bird tubes. The name alone tells you how lame these things are. They are basically weapons used by featherweights to fight each other. They can hardly penetrate the defense of heavyweight warships.

If I can't break their defense when I attack them, I will be covered in tears if they attack me. The current situation is that the tactics are in place, and they have surrounded their people, but the main fleet is gone.

It's like a dung beetle getting up early and running a long way to your toilet, only to find that you have loose stools, and feeling helpless.

After firing their cannons and destroying a few small boats that still refused to give up, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Navy finally gave up, raised their white flags, and followed behind the large ships with their brows lowered.

"Drive your boat to pick up those who fell into the sea, and head towards Yangzhou. Our boat will meet you halfway!"

The current fleet only has three warships, and there is not much time to participate in the rescue, so we might as well outsource it. It's a bit inhumane to ask you to go back and attack your old boss, but you will definitely be motivated if I ask you to rescue people, right?

The government troops were naturally very happy about this. It would be more accurate to say that they were relieved that they did not have to participate in the next battle. After all, they were comrades before, and turning around to fight each other was really... too cruel.

After experiencing some psychological shock, they quickly started driving boats to carry out rescue operations on the water.

The navy suffered heavy losses this time. All the battleships were destroyed. There were at least dozens of people on each battleship. Most of them were blown into fish food by Goliath. Only a few lucky ones are still struggling on the water. If there is no rescue, death is the only thing waiting for them.

The Yangtze River is very lively nowadays, with all kinds of ferocious beasts starting team-building here. Of course, the embarrassing Yangtze alligator was not invited. They have cute big eyes, a miniature body of about one meter long, a timid and shy personality, and even the embarrassing habit of being a vegetarian. They are like little fools. When they see strangers, they hide behind your legs. Basically, they are no longer called ferocious beasts.

For the officers and soldiers on the shore, the current situation is extremely tormenting. The miserable situation of the navy is right before their eyes. A large ship of more than ten meters was smashed to pieces in an instant, and a huge artillery position was reduced to ruins by a barrage of artillery fire. Now, looking at the long swords and shields in their hands, they feel uneasy.

If a cannon of this power were to hit me, I'm afraid that all I'd have left when I visit my grave is a hookah.

How to fight such a battle?

While the enemy was taking whatever they wanted from their navy, they were unable to provide any decent support because their nearshore artillery batteries had been destroyed. Moreover, while the enemy was doing whatever they wanted to the navy's battleships, they also did not forget to carry out long-range bombing of their artillery positions. The officers and soldiers on the shore could only dodge in a panic while watching their navy being completely filled with artillery shells by the enemy's army.

How should I put it, there is a kind of joy of harvest.

Now, the entire navy fleet, both physically and mentally, have become the possession of the enemy army. When he could only rage helplessly, the enemy suddenly looked at him. Who could understand this feeling of oppression?

To be honest, the fact that the Zhenjiang defenders have not collapsed yet is a manifestation of their strict discipline.

Morale is a very important thing. The scene before our eyes is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers. When the enemy you face is invincible no matter what, do you still have the courage to continue fighting?

Survival is a human instinct. The chief officer of the garrison on the shore clearly felt the emotional changes of the soldiers around him. He understood that this would not work. As the enemy ships were getting closer and closer to the dock, the psychological pressure on their side would only increase. If he continued to let it go, these soldiers would probably surrender without a fight!

"Soldiers! We are the Ming army! The enemy may have fierce firepower and brutal fighting, but! They are cruel rebels! What will these rebels do to the captured cities! I don't need to say more! Think about your relatives, think about your children! There is no room for retreat! Behind us is Zhenjiang City!"

This impassioned pre-war mobilization played a role to some extent. At least the soldiers present no longer had an expression of "let's run fast" on their faces, and they had more confidence in defending the city.

It was quite unexpected that after wiping out the navy, the other side stopped firing and became extremely quiet instead, moving slowly and calmly towards the shore.

"Good news! The enemy's artillery has run out of shells! They must fight us head-on! Show them your bravery!!"

At this time, he must speak nonsense. No matter what the reason is for the other side not to continue firing, he must speak out the guess that is most beneficial to his side, so that his soldiers will have a stronger desire to fight when fighting.

Is this the actual situation? Of course not. Not to mention that the Iron Blood Mecha's shell reserve is impossible to be exhausted after firing only a dozen rounds, Jiang Han's long-range ammunition supply system can allow them to directly Agon (fire at will).

As for why they didn't continue firing...

"You mechas are almost the same! You are just madly brushing your stats and sucking the blood of your teammates, right? You are all frantically taking heads, your output is maxed out, and we don't even have a single assist!!"

Sop patted Jaguar's mechanical head and complained.

".....Let Sop stay away from the Commander from now on. She speaks more and more like the Commander. I can't understand what she is saying at all."

"To be honest, it is true"

"How come even you have fallen?!"

Although they somewhat disagreed with the way SOP spoke, they still had a unanimous consensus on the core of what it said. They couldn't let the Iron Blood Mecha steal all the limelight, and they had to make some contributions.

Although the commander doesn't always watch the combat status of the humanoids like a male mother due to various matters, he will still inquire about the situation after the battle, understand the situation, and give encouragement and praise.

No humanoid can resist a pat on the head from the commander! No one!

But this battle so far has nothing to do with the humanoids. If the commander asks them how the battle went, they can only answer: I don't know. I was playing cards in the cabin.

It's absolutely impossible for Kobe and I to score 81 points together!

So the humanoid girls forced the Iron Blood Mecha units to enter OB mode. You have done a good job. Just leave the rest to us!

It has to be said that this was a wonderful misunderstanding, but the humanoids were not satisfied with it. After all, after all the enemy's heavy firepower weapons had been destroyed, there was no need to worry about any possibility of a rollover in the following battle scene.

"Three people in a group, advance quickly, clear the dock area, fire flares, and quickly annihilate all resistance forces in the city. After that, just hand it over to the follow-up troops. Do you understand?"

M4 quickly made pre-war combat deployment.

"understand!"

The warship was gradually approaching, and the humanoids began to check their equipment, checking the bolts, opening the safety, and inserting the magazines. Facing the increasingly clear dock, the humanoids' faces were full of anticipation.

"Hoohoo!! I'm ready, I'm ready!!"

SOP was full of energy, jumping up and down on the spot with his legs raised high, as if he had endless energy waiting to be released. But think about it, this was his first time participating in a combat mission since the assassination attempt, and the kid was almost choking back, so it was understandable that he was a little excited.

But...I guess those defenders are going to be in trouble. How pitiful.

"Crossbowmen prepare!!!"

Looking at the large ship getting closer and closer, the chief officer began to give orders loudly, trying to increase his confidence through this.

I hope the other party really...is out of ammunition.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

The long sword was raised diagonally, and an overwhelming rain of arrows flew towards the warship. These arrows were tied with linen soaked in kerosene. Longbows, crossbows, and rockets all swarmed and poured towards the warship. At present, they had no artillery and could only use this method to cause as much damage as possible and try their best to reduce the enemy's landing force.

The other side only has three ships, and they definitely don't have many troops. Although their heavy firepower has been destroyed, there are not too many casualties so far. There are only a hundred people on the three large ships at most, and we have two thousand soldiers on our side. If the other side really runs out of shells... then the advantage is on me!

"Prepare for landing in thirty seconds!"

With the gun loaded, M4 opened his mouth slowly, facing the overwhelming rain of rockets and arrows with a look of indifference.

"Thirty seconds is too long! We have to fight for every minute!"

With one hand she caught the arrow that was flying towards her face, and with a slight force she broke the arrow shaft into two halves. Sop took two steps forward, and placed her feet on the bow of the warship, with her knees slightly bent. The huge force even caused the bow of the warship to sink slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Sop soared into the sky and flew directly towards the dock.

"..." After a brief silence, M4 looked at the sop that drew a beautiful arc in the sky, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind: "It seems that we really can't let sop and the commander hang out like this anymore."

You have corrupted the child to such a degree! !

How did you turn my well-behaved and innocent dog into such a helpless husky! Commander! What on earth did you do!

"Everyone disperse!! Form a mandarin duck formation!!"

Watching a black shadow streak across the sky and rushing towards their own camp, the chief officer instinctively gave the order to stay away from that thing. No matter what that thing was, it could not be a good thing if it was rushing towards them at that speed.

Could it be some kind of grenade?

The Ming Dynasty had hand grenades, but it would be more accurate to say that the Ming Dynasty had already begun to develop towards a modern army, but the maritime ban policy led to slow development. Not only did they have hand grenades, but they had even successfully developed land mines. The Ming Dynasty had a large number of technical talents, and tens of thousands of craftsmen brought about the development of an extremely developed military industry.

However, the expected explosion did not come. Instead, there was a dull sound of landing, and the water on the floor splashed away, revealing a figure with a crazy face.

"Is that a... person?"

The surrounding soldiers and the chief officer were all stunned for a moment. How could this person be a human? How could this person still move after being thrown out from such a high altitude? ? ?

"Hello everyone, let's play a game, shall we? The name is, you run and I tear it down, how about it?"

The mechanical claw dug into the floor and dug a stone slab out of the ground. Holding the gun in one hand, Sop had completely entered his inner personality form at this moment.

"Kill the enemy!!!"

Looking at the strange phenomenon before their eyes, the soldiers forced their fear into anger towards the enemy. They roared and encouraged themselves, and two mandarin duck formations rushed towards the dog.

"Great! Let's get along!"

Seeing that the human in front of him not only did not run away but also dared to fight back at me, Sop showed an excited smile on his face, and casually threw the stone slab in his hand towards a mandarin duck formation. The whole person rushed forward along with the stone slab. With his other hand, he held the rifle and pointed it at the government army in another mandarin duck formation. He turned on the AUTO mode, pressed the button and started splashing water.

The huge stone slab, with its powerful impact, hit the round shield held up by the soldiers in front. These sword and shield soldiers were neither undead nor faded, so how could they withstand such an impact? They were knocked off the ground on the spot. Even with the cushioning of the shield, they could clearly feel that their arms and ribs were completely broken.

"Hello~"

Behind the innocent and lovely words came a kick with a strong gust of wind. Before a sword and shield soldier could react, he was kicked in the neck with such force. His head turned three times on his shoulders and fell slowly with his body at a strange angle.

"Do it!!"
