Chapter 209 The Naval Battle Ends and Continues to Advance!
Chapter 209 The naval battle ends and moves forward!
On the vast sea, the huge Western United Fleet has fallen into chaos. It originally planned to rush into the sky and follow its fourth-order faith knights to defeat the third-order knights of the Daqing people's aerial combat team in one fell swoop.
There was a rout first.
Daqing's Xiantian Grandmaster immediately responded to the situation, grabbed the tails of these third-level knights, and began to chase them.
The other more than 600 pseudo-innate warriors followed the original plan and began to bombard the Western United Fleet warships on the sea with long-range attack skills such as splitting the air palm.
The musketeers on the enemy ship also aimed at the pseudo-innate warriors, firing bursts of volleys in the smoke. However, although such attacks could threaten warriors in the acquired realm, they would not be effective against those who had already gathered their true energy and protective powers.
For pseudo-innate warriors who have physical strength, it can only be regarded as a consumption.
In addition, the Western muskets of this era, even the flintlock guns, are not very accurate. Unless they are hit by dozens or hundreds of projectiles in a very short period of time, the pseudo-innate warriors will rise into the sky and return.
No need to be angry.
The palm prints or fist prints condensed with Gang Qi are like small "Tathagata Divine Palms", which are bombarded on the battleships of the Western United Fleet. There are also more pseudo-innate warriors who are accustomed to using weapons, using sword Qi and swords.
Qi, a type of move with more obvious lethality, quickly achieved a terrifying kill rate.
Soon, the Western navies, whose psychological quality was generally better than that of the army, began to show signs of collapse. This was because as they fired bursts of guns, smoke filled the entire sea area, blocking most of the field of vision.
It was precisely because the smoke obscured the view that the masts of many main warships began to break after being hit by three or five consecutive rounds, and the canvas above the masts was the hardest hit area.
Fortunately, after noticing this situation, the pseudo-innate warriors all started to restrain their energy slightly with a tacit understanding, slowed down the pace of their attacks, and tried their best to target the enemy's densely populated areas.
After all, these battleships on the sea below will all be their own trophies in the future. It is fun to bomb them indiscriminately now, but if the cost of repairing them is too high later, their general will be scolded.
Even so, the number of damaged warships below reached nearly 40 in a very short period of time, which was close to one-third of all the warships in the Western Combined Fleet.
As soon as the pace of the pseudo-innate warriors slowed down, the density of bombings suddenly dropped by an order of magnitude. The commanders on the enemy warships, who were fighting independently, immediately noticed this with their rich experience. They all launched pseudo-innate weapons almost at the same time.
This is the warrior's judgment that "ammunition" is insufficient.
In unison, these commanders began to frantically boost the morale of their subordinates and organized a counterattack with all their strength. For a while, the projectiles fired into the sky from the ships below actually became denser again.
However, Daqing's pseudo-Xiantian warrior group did not exhaust themselves as they expected. Instead, they maintained a precise but slightly slow bombardment frequency.
In this way, the Western Combined Fleet held on for three full minutes with their lives. More than 600 pseudo-innate warriors were like 600 ultra-modern bombers with incomparable dexterity but endless ammunition. They were able to defeat nearly 150 enemy warships of all sizes.
The sky was plowed over and over again.
Finally, when the casualty rate of some warships that had been unable to hold up reached an astonishing 30% or more, a collapsed musketeer pointed his gun at his commander.
"bump!!!"
After a shot blasted off the officer's head, the collapsed musketeer quickly tore off his white undershirt, tied it to the gun barrel in his hand, and waved it toward the sky desperately.
"I surrender! We surrender!"
The sound of a gunshot and a shout caused the entire battleship to become silent for an instant. The musketeers and gunners on the deck looked at each other for a while, quietly watching the collapsed musketeer shouting hoarsely.
Shouted.
"Snapped!"
The long musket in the hand of another musketeer who was watching fell to the ground and made a loud noise. Only then did the Western soldiers on the deck finally come to their senses.
The next moment, the neat "We surrender!" echoed in the sky...
Then, such a sound spread like a virus, one to two, two to four, four to eight... Before long, almost all the warships of the Western United Fleet had raised white flags.
Although the Daqing Quasi-Xiantian Warrior Group in the sky did not understand the meaning of the words shouted by the Western devils below, the action of raising the white flag was an international one. After a slight hesitation, they all stopped their downward bombardment moves.
.
…
After sinking several main warships that were still resisting and making sure that all the remaining warships of the Western Combined Fleet had surrendered, the Nanyang Fleet slowly moved closer.
And 600 pseudo-innate warriors were scattered on the deck of the warship of the Western United Fleet, and forcefully ordered all the surrendered enemy soldiers to kneel on the deck with their hands raised and wait to be surrendered.
Next, the task of accepting captured warships and prisoners was left to the Nanyang Fleet, which had been away from the rear of the battlefield and had never participated in the war.
Fortunately, they had already adapted to their status as a logistics team and did not complain at all. Instead, they were quite excited.
After all, who doesn’t like winning a battle on one’s own side, and winning a battle that is profitable?
At this time, the innate masters who were scattered in pursuit of the third-order knight groups from various Western countries also began to return one after another.
Liu Changgong's previous ultimate move to defeat the fourth-level faith knight had already consumed more than one-third of his body's strength. In addition, he needed to defend his own formation, so he did not join in the pursuit.
After all, the opponent is a strong man of the same level. Although our own combat power is twice that of the enemy, because the Western Knights only focus on escaping, it is difficult for Daqing's innate masters to keep them, and the results are very few.
In total, only two third-level knights were killed, and a seriously injured third-level priest prisoner was brought back...
The work of receiving prisoners and trophies took nearly three hours to be initially sorted out, mainly because the number of prisoners was very huge, although they were all frightened by today's brutal killing.
However, dealing with nearly 30,000 surrendered soldiers from Western countries on more than 100 battleships, as well as countless tragic corpses and seriously injured soldiers on the battleships, still consumed a lot of energy of the Nanyang Fleet.
After a long time, the huge and almost bloated fleet set sail again, but the target was deflected. They chose to approach a nearby small port belonging to the Forou people for repairs and supplies.
Although this encounter started quickly and ended quickly, most of Daqing's high-level warrior team, especially those at the quasi-innate level, had already consumed more than half of their body's true energy, and some warriors had consumed more than 80% of their true energy.
They all need a stable environment to replenish energy and adjust their breath to recover. Otherwise, even if they arrive in Batavia, they will have almost no fighting power.
Furthermore, the scale of the Nanyang Fleet was indeed too large at this time. Many captured Western warships were severely damaged by the bombardment, which made people reluctant to give up. At this time, Daqing's shipbuilding capabilities were indeed not as good as those of the Western Fleet.
All countries can only be led by cables and chains to follow.
As a result, the sailing speed will naturally be greatly slowed down, and it will already be sunset by the time we arrive at our destination.
Faced with the sudden arrival of the Nanyang Fleet, this small port city of Forou raised the highest level of alert. Although it was of no use, it at least showed that it was not welcoming.
However, facing the request of nearly 200 warships from the Nanyang Fleet to dock, the three or five 6-pound and 12-pound guns on the Forou port defense fort really did not dare to fire.
The huge and bloated Nanyang fleet was crowded with the small port of Forou people, and nearly one-third of the ships were even moored outside the port, temporarily connected with cables and iron ropes.
Fortunately, the Nanyang Fleet did not make any extravagant attempts against the Forou people, but forcefully demanded that the Forou people sell a batch of supplies to themselves at market prices.
The people of Forou tremblingly agreed and completed the request very quickly. The Nanyang Fleet also kept its promise and began repairs inside and outside the port.
As supplies of food and wine were delivered to each ship, the atmosphere among the soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet instantly became lively. Although the journey was not yet completed, they had won the battle and reached a safe zone, so it was natural to celebrate a little.
Just to prevent accidents, there was enough meat and vegetables, but each person was only allowed to drink a small bowl of wine. Even so, the faces of all the Daqing soldiers were filled with joyful smiles that night.
Even the captives who surrendered from Western countries were not mistreated, and each of them was also given a portion of food that could last them half full.
These prisoners had been completely killed by the terrifying Daqing people during the day. Thinking about how we treated the surrendered people of color in the past, we naturally did not dare to ask for more at this time, but there was no one who wanted to cause trouble.
After screening, the Nanyang Fleet interrogated several surviving senior officers of the Western Combined Fleet at night.
Only then did we know that while the Nanyang Fleet was gathering for training with Luzon, the English, Dutch, French and remaining Castilians had chosen to form an alliance.
The combined fleet that encountered the Nanyang Fleet today was already composed of more than 90% of the main battleships of these four companies in the Far East.
The two fourth-level faith knights were from England and the Vatican respectively. The knight who had one of his right arms chopped off by Liu Changgong and fled in panic was from a branch of the English royal family.
At this time, England was about to begin its industrial revolution, and the "Jenny Textile Machine" that Jia Lian named "Yongji Textile Machine" was about to appear more than ten years later.
Later, the improvement of steam engines and the opening of the "Steam Age" will also begin in England. It is also during this era that the English talents will truly take over the declining Castilian people and become the new empire on which the sun never sets!
During this period, only England and the Holy See were able to send a fourth-level faith knight to Tianzhu (Far East).
England was chosen because of Tianzhu, an important colony with a huge population (cheap labor force) second only to Daqing, and the Holy See was chosen to consolidate its religious rule in the Far East.
But now the fourth-level knight belonging to England is disabled, and the knight from the Holy See was forced by Jia Lian to self-destruct. The strongest military force of the Western countries in the Far East was suddenly lost!
After this war, at least for a short period of time, the Western countries in the Far East became paper tigers that could be broken with just one poke.
This is not to say that the governors of the Western countries in the Far East made mistakes in their decisions. On the contrary, their decisions were extremely decisive and correct. The only thing is that they misjudged the strength of the Nanyang Fleet and the [Jia Lian Army].
In fact, if you think about it, if the top-level force of the fourth-order knights mobilized by the Western countries is doubled, it will be really difficult for Daqing.
Although [Blue Dragon Jade] and Liu Changgong rely on their accumulation in the "game world" to explode with all their strength, they are sure to instantly kill an opponent of the same level, but there is no doubt that they will be in a tough battle in the future.
.
This will add infinite variables to the subsequent battle, and even the Nanyang Fleet behind it may be destroyed.
There is no doubt that the Western countries at this time must have this strength, but the territory that these countries that are burning, killing and plundering most of the world need to guard is too large. It is actually very big to have two fourth-level combatants in the Far East.
Exaggerated.
So after some discussion among several high-ranking generals of the Nanyang Fleet, Jia Lian's second soul made the decision and decided to recuperate overnight and then continue to march to Batavia with these prisoners early tomorrow morning.
Since the Western countries in the Far East have chosen to form an alliance and declare war against Daqing, Jia Lian will naturally not be polite and will pursue the victory!
The soldiers in the fleet took turns enjoying the delicious food and celebrated until late at night before gradually quieting down.
The next day, when the newly born orange-red sun jumped out of the land where the sea and the sky meet, the entire Nanyang Fleet suddenly woke up!
After a night of repairs, all high-level warriors have returned to their best condition. Although some are still not in perfect condition, there is still time for them to continue to adjust their breath during the next voyage. Presumably, everyone will be at their peak by the time they arrive in Batavia.
status.
The huge Nanyang fleet began to slowly sail out of the port of the Forou people in an orderly manner. Although most of the warships in the fleet showed signs of damage from the war, the huge size still made the Forou people look at them.
Although they roughly guessed that the Nanyang Fleet that docked in the middle of yesterday evening was definitely something they couldn't afford to offend, it wasn't until today's daytime that Forou discovered just how unprovoked it was.
This made the city lord of Forou and other high-level people very happy that they did not choose to launch an attack rashly yesterday...
Next, the Nanyang Fleet only has a few hundred nautical miles left to sail from Batavia. After yesterday's naval battle, the combat strength of Batavia City must have been greatly weakened by this time.
It is very likely that the soldiers of the Nanyang Fleet will be able to spend the night of the day after tomorrow in the city of Batavia, the destination of this journey.
And taking advantage of the fact that the armies of the four most powerful Western countries in the Far East were severely damaged, and after capturing Batavia who was guarding Malacca, the first strategic goal of Jia Lian's plan to open the sea was completed!
From then on, he could even leave most of the affairs of Manila City to the Jia clan, and he only needed to send people to do a good job of supervision.
The main focus of the [Jia Lian Legion] will be on Batavia City, and even Dahei and Zhang Shun will be dispatched to guard this place with Liu Changgong and [Blue Dragon Jade] for a long time to guard against the counterattack of the Western countries.
