Chapter 354: Haiguo suffered a big loss in the first battle
The warships of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the Hailong Gang were involved in a very fierce battle.
Some of the warships of the Sea Dragon Gang even ran rampant and collided with several warships of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom, causing loud noises.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom and the warriors of the Hailong Gang fought together on the warship that had collided.
There are war poems appearing, and there are the lights and shadows of swords.
The corpses of many soldiers and warriors fell from the warships into the sea, and the shouts of killing were mixed with the screams, playing a march full of killing and grief.
"Boom!"
Some warships burned with raging fires, and in the sea of fire, people from both sides were still fighting fiercely.
Until the end, it was the warriors from the Hailong Gang who came out, and the soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom followed the ship and were buried in the sea.
"Come on! Attack the garbage from the Seven Island Sea Country!"
"Haha... the warships of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom are really vulnerable!"
"Happy! Happy! Today we are going to kill everyone!"
Many warriors from the Hailong Gang laughed wildly.
Geng Cunshan carefully observed the battlefield and found that several of his own warships had been occupied by the warriors of the Hailong Gang and became the spoils of the Hailong Gang.
As for the warships belonging to the Hailong Gang, the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom have not yet attacked the next one.
From a formal point of view, it is true that the Hailong Gang's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom.
"Impossible! This is impossible! How can these pirates on the sea have such amazing fighting power? This is simply impossible!"
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! How dare you offend me, Chao Tianwei! These so-called warriors from the Hailong Gang simply deserve death!"
"Is it true that my powerful navy of one hundred thousand cannot defeat a group of pirates on the sea? I don't believe it! I absolutely don't believe it! The navy of our seven-island sea country is the overlord of the sea!"
"What a shame! What a shame! All the soldiers were killed by the bandits of the Hailong Gang, but we didn't even capture one of their warships! This is a huge shame!"
"How could this be so! How could this be so!"
Many of the generals of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom were so excited that their eyes were splitting, their faces were red, and they were almost bursting with anger.
The powerful navy of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom, the team that claims to be the overlord of the endless sea, can't defeat a mere group of sea pirates. How ridiculous is this.
If the navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom were defeated in front of the Sea Dragon Gang today, they would not need anyone's ridicule. The people of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom could scold them to death even if they spit out nails.
On the other side, Du Ning and others are also observing the battle situation between the two sides.
Just as Du Ning and others expected, the navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom was no match for the warriors of the Hailong Gang.
The warriors of the Hailong Gang became more and more courageous after taking down several warships. However, the morale of the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom suffered a very cruel blow, and more and more people died at the hands of the warriors of the Hailong Gang. And the warships blocking Du Ning's front were also being fiercely attacked by the warriors of the Hailong Gang.
"No retreat! We must block the Hailong Gang's attack! Otherwise, the scholars in the Holy Forest Continent behind will laugh at us!"
"That's right! This is our opportunity to kill the enemy and make a contribution, but we must not let them pass and take advantage of the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent!"
"This battle is related to the honor of all the soldiers of our seven-island sea country, so we must not lose!"
Facing the strong attack of the Hailong Gang, the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom knew that it was difficult to resist, but they would never take a step back.
Not only because of the mission they shoulder, but also because of their overly strong self-esteem.
They believe that the powerful navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is stronger than that of the Holy Forest Continent, and stronger than the sea pirates like the Sea Dragon Gang.
If they retreat easily, how can they have the face to call themselves the powerful navy of the endless sea? And how can they have the face to meet the people of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom?
They really can't afford such a big loss.
Seeing the soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Country being killed one after another on the warship in front, Wei Li and others were filled with rage and wanted to rush forward to fight the enemy.
Each of them gnashed their teeth and clenched their fists.
"Hmph! Did you see it? This is what they will get when they compete for war glory!"
Fan Rulong said: "If they hadn't blocked our way forward, there wouldn't be so many people killed by the Hailong Gang!"
Tian Feipeng scolded: "That Geng Cunshan is nothing. As the supreme commander on the battlefield, for the sake of the ridiculous and humble face of their Seven Island Sea Kingdom, he and the Hailong Gang launched a frontal attack. As long as he gave the order
, let the warships in front get out of the way, and we can join the battle and directly blast through their lineup with mystical cannons. Why did we kill so many brothers? No matter what, those are the blood of our human continent!" When Wei Li and others heard that Tian Feipeng insulted their chief governor, they were all furious. But judging from the situation at the scene, they were stunned and couldn't even say a word to refute.
This is really irritating!
"May I ask Mr. Tian, what is the mysterious cannon you just mentioned?" Wei Li asked.
Tian Feipeng said very proudly: "It is a powerful weapon developed by our Lord Yunqi in the Holy Forest Continent. When we came to the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, we were attacked by the Hailong Gang. At that time, we used mystical cannons to fight back
With the help of the Hailong Gang, when the ships of our Holy Academy can enter the battlefield, you will be able to see the power of our mysterious cannons."
Hearing Tian Feipeng's explanation, some generals smiled with contempt, thinking that Tian Feipeng was boasting too much.
Does this mean that the warships of Kua Shengyuan are more powerful than the warships of their seven-island sea country?
Now that things have happened, the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent are still speaking out in front of so many people, which is too shameless.
"Wei also wants to see if the mysterious cannon mentioned by Mr. Tian is really that powerful."
Wei Li said this with strong skepticism, not believing that the mysterious cannon could really be that powerful.
In their common sense, no matter how powerful the inventions of the Holy Forest Continent are, they cannot compare to their Seven Islands Sea Country.
After all, they generally look down on the human race in the Holy Forest Continent. If they are surpassed by the people they look down on, it will be an unacceptable humiliation for them.
They really don't want to believe that the Sacred Forest Continent has a civilization far superior to that of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
…………
The day passed quickly.
The two sides stopped fighting and entered a state of rest.
In the governor's warship.
Geng Cunshan looked at the casualty report in his hand, and the expression on his face alternated between blue and white.
"Bang!"
Geng Cunshan was so angry that he banged the eucalyptus table and roared: "2,800 soldiers were seriously injured and 1,600 were killed in action, 500 Jinshi were seriously injured and 200 were killed in action, and 80 Hanlin were seriously injured and 50 were killed in action.
!"
"And the number of warriors killed in the Hailong Gang was less than a thousand!"
After obtaining this rough statistics, Geng Cunshan's eyes turned red. It was really difficult to accept such a reality.
When the two sides fought, the Seven Island Sea Kingdom had more troops than the Hailong Gang, had more large and small warships than the Hailong Gang, and had an advantage over the Hailong Gang.
But the result was too different from what was expected.
The number of casualties among the powerful naval elite of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom was much more serious than that of the Hailong Gang.
If this report is presented to Emperor Guangde, Emperor Guangde Long Yan will definitely be furious. He will stand on the Golden Palace and scold their military department bloody.
When the time comes, how will the officials in the court view them?
"What a shame! This is not only a shame for our naval team, but also a shame for our entire Seven Islands Sea Country! Why is this!"
"The Hailong Gang is just a group of pirates on the sea. In terms of identity and status, they are not even regular soldiers!"
"But it was this group of rabble that made us pay such a heavy price in the first battle of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom!"
"You people are all trash, what do you do for a living!"
Geng Cunshan was so angry that he cursed at his generals.
The generals were all gnashing their teeth with anger, and their faces became uglier than the last.
They wanted to refute Geng Cunshan, but they swallowed the words when they reached their lips.
Because they did suffer a small defeat and could not find any reason to refute.
The chests of every general present were filled with humiliating anger. They were so confident before the war that they even regarded the warriors of the Sea Dragon Gang as a bunch of rubbish. They thought that defeating these pirates on the sea was just a piece of cake.
A piece of cake.
But the cruelty of reality gave them a very loud slap, not on their faces, but on their hearts, on their arrogant self-esteem.
Suffering in front of the pirate forces they looked down upon was simply more uncomfortable than letting them die.
Since the establishment of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, it has never fought such a humiliating battle as today.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of later generations of scholars, those who participated in the battle will be scolded bloody, saying that they are a bunch of losers raised by the imperial court, who can't even defeat a group of pirates at sea.
They felt extremely ashamed.
"Captain, calm down. Tomorrow we will definitely attack the Hailong Gang and make the thieves of the Hailong Gang pay the price they deserve!" a general said loudly.
"You're right! We will fight bravely tomorrow, not only to avenge our dead brothers, but also to let the Hailong Gang know how powerful our Seven Islands Navy is!"
"Heads can be cut off and blood can be shed, but the dignity of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom cannot be insulted!"
Many soldiers agreed one after another. Their fighting spirit was soaring and their killing intent was crazy.
At this moment, a soldier came in and said, "I would like to inform the Grand Governor that Yun Qijun and the others are here to ask for an audience."
