Dark clouds in winter, howling north wind, rain of arrows on the Xiangshui River, crossbows breaking through the air, the sound of ship hulls colliding with each other amid the roar of water, pure sailing ships, motor sailing ships, arson ships, ironclad ships...
Flames burned on the sails, shouting to kill, screaming, giving orders... There was a loud noise, and people died every minute in the cruel and fierce collision of the fleet. The red light reflected the water fiercely, in this
The distorted water vapor evaporates in the winter mist, and it seems like the heat is boiling when the river is burned and the sea is boiling. The blood flows on the river and disappears.
This river runs right between the Central Plains and the South. In the winter of the 20th year after the Great Revolution, the two strongest forces from the south and the north faced each other across the river. One wanted to conquer the south, and the other vowed to conquer the north. No one wanted to
Allowing the enemy to cross the river calmly, the respective navies launched a fierce duel in the gentle waters of the Xiang River. Hundreds of warships collided, entangled, and fought with each other. The dense information radiated out from the respective flagships of the two armies, and then surged back.
.
"Report - The right-wing aircraft and sailing column encountered Guo Jun's second wave of fire ship offensive and fell into siege"
"Send out the armored ships for support," the middle-aged general on the Chinese flagship said calmly. His figure was as steady as a rock standing in the middle of the river, calm in all directions and motionless in all winds.
Six motor-sailing boats wrapped in thin steel plates broke away from the reserve and rushed towards a sea of fire on the river. The cold steel ignored the fuel of the small fire ships, and the thick bulbous bows smashed the sampans into pieces, directly crushing a bloody path, and quickly stabilized
He formed a formation on the right wing, and launched hundreds of starlight air strikes towards the enemy fleet.
On one of the flagships, a magician also discovered these starlights on the watchtower, and immediately issued a warning: "The Chinese Army's 100-person regiment raided the left wing——"
"Our real team will fight back," Commander Guo Jun ordered. He was a little worried about the stalemate in the surface battle. The enemy's armored ships were too difficult to burn. If the battle continued for a long time, there might be an accident. Thinking of this, he urged again: "Contact the upstream again.
Why hasn’t the troop transport crossed the river yet..."
hold head high
The roar of the dragon resounded throughout the world, and a streak of yellow air on the south bank attracted the attention of all Guo Jun officers and soldiers on the north bank: "What is that?"
"Didn't the Yellow Dragon Formation burn down the imperial capital of Yun Dynasty, leaving nothing in the white ground?"
A general muttered: "It is true that the rumor that Princess Yunchao ran to the south is true. It must be the formation map contributed by that woman..."
"This little bitch would rather stoop down and marry an ethnic minority than surrender to our king..." Someone said angrily, and a black aura flashed across his eyebrows inadvertently: "This woman is bent on revenge for Yun Ting, so she will be a member of the same family."
The Chinese country with Tu De treats itself as its own people, confuses right and wrong, and ignores the overall situation. You should be damned as a clan traitor."
The generals cursed one after another. As the leader, Guo Ziyue was silent. The figure of the beauty he had seen a few years ago flashed in his mind, and his face twitched: "Forget about gossiping... The enemy must have discovered our partial force crossing the river upstream.
, order a storm"
"Yes, the king is invincible." The generals responded enthusiastically. The incredibly smooth war in the past two years made everyone in the Guo army have strong ambition and confidence in conquering the world.
... On the south bank of the river, there are 60,000 troops standing in a dense formation. Ten thousand were separated to meet the enemy coming upstream, while the rest remained motionless. The Chinese troops under the banner were still nervously watching the naval battle, and the crystal membrane of the Huanglong formation was distorted and transmitted.
The movement on the water is so distorted and psychedelic that it looks like a mirage.
During the secret exchange of spiritual consciousness in the formation, the yellow dragon circled and stared at the opposite river bank. There was a fierce red dragon on the other side, with some black energy. After the common enemy was eliminated, the battle of the Eternal Wall was staged... There can only be one in the world.
a master.
"In terms of military strength, we are at a disadvantage in both the army and the navy. The former is difficult to defeat suddenly, but the latter's armored ships have a cross-generation advantage. We must seize this opportunity to win, and we cannot let the enemy react and withdraw..."
"It's a pity that the Thirteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and went to Beijing the year before last. The Yun Dynasty was destroyed. One-third of the naval force escaped and was divided up by all parties. Two-thirds fell into the hands of Guo Ziyue. They wiped out the north in two years. It was really lucky...
…We started late and only caught a few small boats from the south, and the total number was only one-half of others.”
"Ha, didn't the king also find a beautiful princess..."
"You are already a princess, so you can't just joke... According to the princess's experience, there was someone behind the scenes in going to Beijing. Wa... His Highness also secretly sent a message to warn that it was most likely an immortal from the outside world. Do you think you will personally do it this time?
What’s the end?”
It is no secret that the core officials at the top are secretly responsible for the Immortals from the Outer Realms. As soon as this hidden worry was raised on the Divine Sense Information Network, the howling wind outside seemed to be silent. Compared with the danger of fratricide in the revolutionary camp, it was even more disturbing.
What worries me is the secret hand of the Immortal... Once involved in this battle, it will be a big trouble no matter whether he wins or loses.
In the eyes of everyone, Liu Rong, the eleventh generation grandson of Emperor Zeng Ying, was in decline. At this moment, Liu Rong, the king of Han Dynasty who ascended the throne by conquest of Jiangnan, thought about it and shook his head: "It's hard to say whether he will personally participate in it, but it seems that what the enemy wants is just the victory of the revolution.
There are people out there who are paying attention to what’s going on here…”
"We are all fishing hooks laid by His Majesty. We cannot think about that level of game, but when it comes to revolution, princes, generals and Xiang Ning have the guts... No need to pretend, we are performing our true colors, and we don't worry about being exposed."
After hearing this, the civil servants and military generals all nodded in agreement, but also felt a little regretful: "...It's a pity that it has only been twenty years, and the national and opposition system is only the second generation. Once defeated, the overall situation will be corrupted... I chose Tu De to annex quickly.
The old government forces in the south were of great help, but there is no way to burn away the atmosphere of the old dynasty in the short term."
"This battle is all based on industry. The enemy is afraid that we have accumulated a lot of resources, and there will be no need to fight in a few years." Time passed slowly. Three hours of fierce fighting, the sky became darker and darker, and it was almost evening.
The fleet of ships on the river has become sparse, and both naval forces have suffered more than half of their casualties. The reason why the battle was so fierce is due to the inland river warfare. Unlike the calm advance and retreat on the sea surface, there is no way to escape if you are crowded into a group on the narrow river, or
Jump into the river or fight to the death...
After the revolution, under the stimulation of some kind of motivation, rebels all over the world became fearless of death. The conditions for sailors with the same high organization depended on the quality of each ship.
Except for some small boats that can only be used as side drums, the main force of the Guo army has more large ships, twice as many as the Chinese army. The power of the equipment array is not inferior to that of the Chinese military aircraft and sailboats, but the defensive power is incomparable.
The twenty-seven main armored ships of the Chinese army are made of wooden shells wrapped with steel plates. They are not real metal ships, but they are so hard that it hurts your teeth. They are not indestructible under law. The problem is that each ship requires Guo Jun to dispatch a real team to destroy it, and
In the same period of time, the real-person regiment of the Han army could take the opportunity to destroy more wooden-hulled enemy ships. This exchange undoubtedly gave the Han army an advantage.
Guo Jun has not considered copycats. The technology is actually not difficult, but the resources are difficult. An armored battleship can only be supported by an early industrialized society. Not only does each ship consume a huge amount of steel production, but it also requires the dual powerful power of the Fire Spirit Steam Engine Addition Array.
To maintain speed, they were also equipped with a large number of thunderbolts on both sides. The Chinese army did not have the money to upgrade the entire ship to this type, so it took the country to build these twenty-seven ships.
Looking under the twilight fireworks in the evening, all the other battleships of the Chinese army were sunk. Although more than half of these armored ships were destroyed by the enemy's real regiments, there were still eleven ships that survived to the end, floating on the water with many scars.
The real Chinese army destroyed almost all the enemy's main ships...
"boom"
The main flag of Guo Jun's flagship was tilted, and the thunder pool above his head was brewing with trembling lightning. The navy commander above him shook his head, his face was pale and he bowed to the north bank, with his sword across his neck: "Your Majesty, I forgive my incompetence..."
puff--
Blood spurted out, the man's eyes dimmed, and he fell into the river.
"Hahaha... Surrender!" The staggered streams of real-person escape techniques in mid-air were chasing and being chased, and laughter resounded throughout the sky.
In fact, just talking about the number of ships, the Han army had no small boats, and the Guo army had hundreds of small boats left, but the eleven armored ships were enough to sweep them across, and Guo Jun's navy immediately fled in panic.
Little did they know that the eleven ships had basically lost their sail power. Such thick hulls were driven slowly by the magic circle and could not influence the war. If they could seize this fatal flaw and use wolf pack tactics to counterattack, there would still be a chance for a comeback.
However, on the one hand, Guo Jun was not familiar with the characteristics of the ironclad ship, and on the other hand, the naval commander was killed on the spot. No one had the courage and prestige to organize a counterattack. The remaining fleet of Guo Jun's navy fled downstream on the spot, killing all Guo Jun's troops on the north bank.
Exposed to the Chinese army.
Under the flag on the other side, Guo Ziyue's face was ashen, he lost... With such a good card in hand, and the support of destiny, he also lost
"Your Majesty, the navy has been defeated, and the upstream division has requested support... Well, the remaining ships seem to have gone downstream..."
"If you bastards want to run away, you should run upstream."
The fastest way to escape is by swimming down the river. The Han navy did not chase those small boats. The remaining eleven armored ships on the river had already been driven by the magic circle, slowly turned sideways, and aimed rows of thunder and ballistae at the north bank.
Guo Jun, the tip of the arrow flashed with a faint blue light.
Rumble——
The trembling air like rolling thunder spread across the formation, and the smoke and dust scattered in all directions. The cavalry retreated in panic, and a faint voice could be heard shouting: "Why is this happening... Immortal help me...
There was some kind of help in the angry and disbelieving roar, but there was no response. Only the general pulled their master: "Your Majesty, your temporary defeat is nothing. Go back and regroup and come again..."
"No, there is no chance. The enemy will not give us time to regroup..." Guo Ziyue drank sadly.
The defeat of the army can still mobilize young men. The loss of the partial division on the south bank was not a fatal blow, but the death of the navy's main ship was a fatal blow... Shipbuilding takes time.
"We will defeat the enemy within two years, without giving time to reorganize the fleet, hahaha..."
The Chinese army on the south bank... or rather the Han monarchs and ministers laughed. It was different from their impression of the Han world. In this world, fleet power was very important.
This state, rich in water resources, evolved the continent, with a total of seven rivers crisscrossing the north and south, affecting the layout of power in troubled times.
Just like the previous example of the Fuxing Society choosing to take root in the most remote Binzhou, shrinking to the south of the fast-flowing Yundu River, and defeating the anti-king Zhang Dexing's attack, two anti-king forces tend to emerge on both sides of every river, and they cross the river.
During attack and defense, the excess population was gradually consumed, and the princes with weak hematopoietic power were eliminated, thus ushering in unification.
The power of the navy is very crucial in this process. The winning side of the navy will gain great initiative, and then harass the other side along the river to make them exhausted, and finally cross the river and successfully break through the weak defense line... It can be said that it lays the foundation for victory.
The struggle for the world that has lasted for twenty years is finally coming to an end.
