Chapter 361 Geng Cunshan led the navy to retreat, and Du Ning took the opportunity to order an attack
Before you know it, night falls.
The two sides once again ceased fighting and entered a rest period.
According to statistics, the casualties of the Qidaohai Navy were even more serious than yesterday, and the forward troops were almost wiped out.
But what is gratifying is that the soldiers' bloody battle today also annihilated thousands of warriors from the Hailong Gang and achieved a certain degree of success.
However, this is still a great shame for Geng Cunshan.
Because the Hailong Gang robbed many warships from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, they took a greater actual advantage.
Apart from destroying a certain number of enemies, the Seven Island Sea Kingdom did not gain any more practical benefits.
This battle was still too frustrating.
Geng Cunshan convened all the soldiers to discuss strategies. After some discussions, he decided to change to a conservative combat plan. Since he could not defeat the Hailong Gang in a short time, he could only fight a war of attrition with the Hailong Gang.
The Seven Island Sea Kingdom can continuously provide food to the army, enough to consume it with the Sea Dragon Gang for a long time.
But that night, Emperor Guangde in the palace sprayed the Minister of War with blood, and angry voices echoed throughout the palace.
…………
In the blink of an eye, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom has been at war with the Hailong Gang for half a month.
Over the past half month, Du Ning and others repeatedly requested a battle, but Geng Cunshan still ignored them. Instead, he dispatched more warships to block Du Ning's team from participating in the battle.
Du Ning gave up completely and let Geng Cunshan make his own arrangements.
So under the command of Geng Cunshan, the 100,000-strong naval force was defeated until only 60,000 were left.
However, the Hailong Gang's casualties were less than 10,000.
The Seven Islands Sea Country is suffering more and more losses.
As one goes and the other goes, the Sea Dragon Gang continues to capture the warships of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom, obtains more strategic materials, and grows stronger day by day.
This finally made the generals of the Seven Islands Sea Country feel a great sense of crisis.
If this continues, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom is indeed in danger of being breached by the Hailong Gang.
But Geng Cunshan still refused to give up. He firmly believed that under his command, the army of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom would be able to defeat the Hailong Gang to prove the powerful strength of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
This day.
The Seven Islands Sea Kingdom once again fought with the Hailong Gang and adopted defensive tactics to deal with the Hailong Gang's attack.
Now the morale and morale of the soldiers are far worse than before, and they can no longer launch large-scale battles, so they can only resort to defensive warfare.
But since then, he has become very passive, making the soldiers feel as if a big stone is pressing on their chests, which is very uncomfortable.
Has the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom ever fought such an embarrassing battle?
It’s just that we have no choice but to resort to this kind of war of attrition.
"Report!"
The soldiers came to Geng Cunshan and said in panic: "Grand Governor, something bad has happened! We found a large number of warships appearing in the endless sea. They all seemed to be the warships of the Hailong Gang. The large warships alone were very powerful.
There are hundreds of ships and a rough estimate of less than 50,000 troops. They are probably reinforcements from the Hailong Gang!"
"What are you talking about! The Hailong Gang actually has reinforcements? How is this possible! How is this possible!"
Geng Cunshan roared in disbelief, unable to sit still.
Hai Batian actually still has so many troops!
This is really an exaggeration!
Where did so many warships come from?
The other generals also changed their faces with frightened expressions.
As you can imagine, once these reinforcements join the battlefield, the naval teams of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom will definitely be defeated!
"Why is this happening? Is our seven-island sea country really going to suffer annihilation? Is our sea country going to be wiped out by a group of sea pirates?"
Geng Cunshan's face was ashen. After hearing the news, his inner defenses were completely unbearable.
"Order the troops to withdraw!"
Geng Cunshan gritted his teeth and said: "Abandon the front line before the Hailong Gang's reinforcements arrive, retreat ten miles, reduce our defense line, and concentrate our defense forces!"
"Yes!"
After the military order was conveyed, the warships of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom fought against the Hailong Gang while evacuating backwards in an orderly manner.
"Du Jun, big news, Geng Cunshan has ordered a retreat!"
Fan Rulong came to Du Ning and said: "According to forward reconnaissance, there are a large number of warships appearing in the Endless Sea, all of which are reinforcements from the Sea Dragon Gang. Once these reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, it will be difficult for the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom to hold on."
"Retreating in time to reduce the defense line and gathering forces to fight against the Hailong Gang, Geng Cunshan finally made a correct decision."
Du Ning, however, looked serious, "Send my military order, all soldiers in the army are ready to fight!"
Fan Rulong's expression changed, "Do you want to fight against the Hailong Gang's army with ten thousand navy troops? This is really too risky!"
Du Ning said seriously: "Yes, this does sound very risky, but don't forget, we also have mysterious cannons on the ship. We can kill him with a single shot. As long as we give it to the Hailong Gang before the Hailong Gang's reinforcements arrive,
The main force has been severely damaged, so even if their reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, it will be meaningless."
"Well said!"
Tian Feipeng said: "When Hai Batian sees our retreat, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue and entangle our army. At this time, we take the initiative to attack them unprepared and catch them by surprise, and we can win a big victory."
Fu Yue said seriously: "But there are warships arranged by Geng Cunshan around us. Previously, he thought that we could not defeat the Hailong Gang, so he refused to let us attack, for fear that our entire army would be annihilated. Now the situation is not good for the Seven Islands Sea Country.
He will not let us take the initiative."
Du Ning said calmly: "We can pretend to be sheep and retreat, letting Geng Cunshan relax his guard. After the surrounding warships relax, we can then turn around and rush out. As long as our team engages the opponent, the active rhythm of this battle is in our hands."
, then we can fight however we want."
"Du Jun's plan is brilliant!"
Fan Rulong said: "I will act immediately to help you convey the order!"
"Wait!"
Du Ning suddenly stopped the other party and continued: "Tell the soldiers that Geng Cunshan has agreed to let our army go to war, and has made a plan to lure the enemy deeper. When the military order comes, he will kill the enemy with a carbine, and let the soldiers be ready at any time."
Be prepared to meet the enemy."
"Also, you must emphasize them. Anyone who disobeys military orders on the battlefield will be killed."
"Yes." Fan Rulong immediately accepted the order and left.
Next, Du Ning began to arrange the next military orders one after another.
At the same time, Du Ning sent someone to contact Geng Cunshan and would actively cooperate with them to lead the navy to retreat.
Geng Cunshan firmly believed in nature. After all, the army has retreated. What is the use of your 10,000-person naval force? Isn’t this looking for death?
At the same time.
When Hai Batian saw Qidao Haiguo suddenly retreating and distanced itself from the warships of the Hailong Gang, he immediately understood that Qidao Haiguo had learned that their reinforcements were coming here.
"As expected of the people of the Seven Islands Sea Country, once our reinforcements approached, they were spotted by their eyeliners outside."
The corners of Haibatian's mouth raised slightly, revealing a smile.
"However, this is also an opportunity to break the morale of the Seven Islands Navy Army."
Then he came to the deck and shouted to the soldiers of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom opposite: "Aren't you, the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, known as the most powerful navy in the endless sea? Why did you suddenly retreat? Could it be that you already knew that I was ten
News that tens of thousands of reinforcements are coming to help? I thought you would stick to the front, but I didn’t expect that at this critical moment, you would act like a coward!"
"What! One hundred thousand reinforcements!"
"How come the Hailong Gang has so many troops!"
"It's over, it's over, then aren't we all done playing?"
After hearing this number, many people were really frightened.
They only heard that tens of thousands of reinforcements were coming from the Hailong Gang, so they chose to narrow the defense line and concentrate their efforts. But according to Hai Batian, how did it become 100,000 reinforcements?
This is really terrifying!
Many people were so frightened that their legs trembled and they found it difficult to control themselves.
Geng Cunshan said loudly: "What are the 100,000 reinforcements? It's just less than 50,000 troops! How can I scare people!"
"Okay! Even if we only have 50,000 reinforcements, wouldn't you, the Seven Islands Sea Country, be scared away?" Hai Batian said with disdain.
"You..."
Geng Cunshan was furious, but he couldn't utter a word of rebuttal because he had indeed given the order to retreat.
Hai Batian said proudly: "Now Mr. Hai, I will give you one more chance to surrender to our Hailong Gang, and you will have to wait until you die. Otherwise, once the reinforcements of our Hailong Gang arrive, your entire army will be wiped out!" p>
After these words were spoken, more officers and soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom looked horrified and felt fear in their hearts.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. As long as you act according to the orders of this governor, we will definitely defeat the Hailong Gang in the end!" Geng Cunshan said to the soldiers.
Even so, the morale and morale of the soldiers were hit, and comfort like this was of no use at all.
At this moment, many soldiers' minds collapsed one by one due to too much pressure.
Hai Batian immediately ordered: "Charge the whole army. Don't let anyone from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom go. Kill as many as you can. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, so we don't need to be polite to them. Brothers, charge."
!"
"Go!"
After receiving Hai Batian's order, the warriors of the Hai Long Gang became even more unscrupulous.
They launched warships and pursued the navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Don't fight with them, withdraw quickly!"
The soldiers of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom were panicked and had no fighting spirit.
"Damn! These warriors from the Hailong Gang really deserve to die!"
Geng Cunshan was furious, thinking that he, the majestic governor of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, would be hunted down by a group of sea pirates. If he could not avenge his shame, it would definitely affect his literary courage, and he would not be able to improve his Confucianism and Taoism in this life.<
/p>
"I didn't expect that under my command, Geng Cunshan, the elite navy of our country would be defeated repeatedly. I am really ashamed of the court and the people!"
Geng Cunshan let out a very unwilling roar in his heart. Until now, he still cannot accept such a cruel reality.
The current battle situation can be described as one-sided. The navy of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom retreated, while the team of the Hailong Gang pursued the victory.
It is precisely because of this retreat that the military morale and morale of the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom almost collapsed.
The soldiers all raised a question in their hearts, could it be that the Seven Island Sea Kingdom, which is known as the elite navy of the Endless Sea and thinks it is the overlord of the Endless Sea, could not even defeat a single sea pirate bandit?
Then wouldn’t the reputation of the Seven Island Sea Kingdom’s elite navy become the biggest joke in the endless sea?
Just when the mood of the soldiers was at a low point, a sound like a bell suddenly sounded in the air.
"Send my military order to launch an attack on the Hailong Gang!"
There is no doubt that this is the voice coming from Duning. He is giving the order to attack to his soldiers.
Geng Cunshan was stunned, many generals were stunned, and many soldiers were also stunned.
Launch an attack on the Hailong Gang?
You're not kidding!
I saw Du Ning's naval warships turning around quickly and preparing to rush towards the Hailong Gang's warships. It seemed as if they were really going to launch an attack on the Hailong Gang.
This made Geng Cunshan and many other generals furious.
The majority of the troops are shrinking the defense line, but you ordered the troops to attack the Hailong Gang. Isn't this looking for death!
"Presumptuous!"
Geng Cunshan's eyes were about to burst, and he said with grief and anger: "Du Ning! You are crazy! You actually ordered an attack on the Hailong Gang!"
"Bold maniac! You dare to let our soldiers from the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom go to the battle to die. Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are!"
"Stop! Stop! Don't attack the Hailong Gang, you will be wiped out!"
"Du Ning! You actually issued such a ridiculous military order. You can't die easily! You can't die easily!"
Many generals cursed and wanted to order warships to intercept it, but it was too late.
Du Ning's warships had already spotted the gap and rushed out, heading straight for the Sea Dragon Gang's camp.
"Stop! In the name of the Grand Governor, I order you all to come back to me!" Geng Cunshan said angrily.
Du Ning held the military talisman as a token and loudly shouted: "The military talisman is in my hand. Anyone who doesn't respect my order will be killed!"
"You...you..."
Geng Cunshan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his hand pointing at Du Ning couldn't stop shaking.
Since ancient times, the army only recognizes military symbols and not people.
The military talisman symbolizes military power. Whoever has this object is in the hands of the commander, and the army will obey his deployment. The commander is never determined based on the size of the official position in the Ministry of War.
This is the education that every soldier will receive the moment they enter the barracks.
Now that the military power of Du Ning's army is in Du Ning's hands, the soldiers of that army will naturally obey Du Ning's orders.
Although Du Ning is from the Holy Forest Continent, most of the soldiers have strong opinions on Du Ning.
But before the war started, Wei Li and other generals had already done ideological work for their officers. On the battlefield, what Du Ning said was the biggest military order, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed.
In addition, the soldiers watched people from other teams fighting bloody battles, and they were eager to show off their skills and achieve meritorious deeds.
So when Du Ning gave the order to attack, he only hesitated for a moment and then acted according to Du Ning's previous deployment.
After all, no one wants to be beheaded by the commander's military order, and no one wants to be the one who stands out.
What's more, this is a battlefield. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will become the target of Du Ning's authority.
