During the Han Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival had become popular, but it was more about "respecting the elderly". Later, on the basis of "visiting the elderly", the meaning of "reunion" was derived.
But no matter what festival it is, Wei Guo can never expect to have a comfortable time.
The Bohai War, in the eyes of the princes from all over the world, "unexpectedly" ended with a disastrous defeat for Wei...
Originally, in the minds of the various princes, Wei had the highest probability of a small victory, followed by a complete victory for Wei, and the lowest was for Chu to "defend" despite the lack of favorable weather, favorable geography, and people.
And no matter who it is, everyone thinks that even if winter comes this year, the two sides may not be able to decide the winner, and the tug-of-war will probably last until next year!
However, the final result was beyond their expectations...
Not only were the two sides struck with thunder and lightning as soon as they came up, but after two days and one night, the winner was completely decided.
No, to be precise, in terms of victory and defeat, I'm afraid it would have been decided not long after the war started.
For the next two days and one night, the Chu army pursued tirelessly!
It is true that naval battles are not prone to collapse - after all, no matter how timid or chaotic one is, one cannot jump directly into the sea.
In rivers, you can still rely on good water quality to have a chance of survival. In the sea... expect to swim back to the shore?
This should be the most brutal battle that Chu has ever fought...
However, the battlefield is a battlefield. Accepting surrender and treating prisoners well are benevolent and righteous, but showing mercy to the enemy on the battlefield is just pure stupidity.
Some small boats may have a chance to "escape", but Gan Ning will never let go of the real battleship, the main ship. Even if it deviates from the overall evacuation route, there will be mine boats and escort boats to pursue it.
In the end, Gan Ning pursued all the way to Tuyin Port. Even though the opponent's sailors had completely collapsed and were crying for their mothers to return to the shore, he still made a determined effort to blow up all the enemy ships that were more than ten meters tall.
A clean one.
Tuyin Port, or Youbeiping Port, was originally built by the Chu State. However, it was occupied by the Wei Army in the past few months. The Chu Army temporarily withdrew as there was no resistance.
And out of faith, he did not do any excessive damage before leaving.
However, even with the land defense of Tuyin Port and the support of the water stronghold defense force, the Chu navy still blew up all the Wei warships, and relied on long-range power to destroy the defense lines on the shore and retake the ship, which suffered some damage.
Tuyin Port!
Even on the way back, they specifically "passed by" the Bohai Port in Bohai County, completely destroying the other side's shore defenses and water fortresses. The shipyards that Wei had no time to move were also razed to the ground...
In the past, the Chu army rarely acted like this to destroy production facilities. After all, it was also the livelihood of many civilians. However, the situation is obviously different now.
Firstly, this shipyard run by the skilled craftsmen of the Wei State completely serves the Wei navy. It can be said to be a place to "make weapons". Secondly, a large part of the ships built here are orders from the smuggler fleet. It means that every plank of the ship is
, it is not an exaggeration to say that they all have the blood of slaves who were plundered and sold.
Whether in terms of interests or morals, the Chu State showed no mercy.
And technically speaking, this shipyard is also very backward. In the future when Chu State takes over this place, it will definitely have to be renovated... I grit my teeth and don’t feel bad anymore!
They were directly attacked ashore, and even the famous craftsmanship shipyard was blown into ruins. The workers who had no time to evacuate were captured...
Even if the Wei State wanted to block the news from the people, it was not only the grassroots generals who escaped after docking, but even the workers in the shipyard, there were countless people who knew the news.
"Thanks" to the recovery of the commodity economy, in just five days, the news spread among the people in the eastern part of Wei State. It is estimated that it will spread all over the world before September...
After the Chu State received the first-hand battle report, it immediately spread the news to the entire Chu State. Tuyin Port changed hands on the tenth day of August. On the thirteenth day of August, even people as far away as Jiaozhou had learned the good news.
, on August 15th, even Deng Ai, who was already in Nanzhong, received the details of the battle report!
Not to mention the celebration among the people of Chu and the confusion among the people of Wei, even among the think tanks of Wei and other princes, the result of the Bohai War was an uproar.
It seems that through various means of stimulation and development, they all gained an advantage in terms of the right time, place and people, and their strength was much stronger than that of the Chu State. The Wei navy, which was about to hand over maritime power, was actually completely wiped out by the Chu State!
And the damage to Chu State was not even 10%...
This kind of exaggerated victory, even if it were the other way around, no one expected it.
After this battle, the Wei State directly lost its maritime power, and from now on, the maritime combat power can be said to be dominated by the Chu State.
As for those warships of the Marquis of Qi?
The hardware and software are not as good as those of the Wei State. More importantly, the number is only one-third of the regular navy of the Wei State. You must know that the regular navy of the Wei State is not many. During the Bohai War, it only accounted for two of its own sides.
Only 30%.
Even without Chu's investment in the Bohai War, that invincible sea steel fortress group...
Just the standing navies of Donglai Donggang and Donglai West Port are not inferior to Qi's navy!
Moreover, now the main force of the Marquis of Qi has passed through the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and headed for Longyou. The navy has shrunk across the board and does not dare to compete with Chu.
The only one with a more complicated mood was probably Xia Houjuan.
Xia Houjuan had not asked specifically about the strength of the Chu navy or the pre-war predictions of the Bohai War, but she could guess something from Bai Tu's attitude... The Wei State was not in the Bohai Sea.
What kind of pressure will it bring to Chu State?
However, when he learned that Wei had lost so miserably, Xia Houjuan still felt nervous - because he attached great importance to this water battle, Xia Houyuan was also among the Wei navy!
Fortunately, only two hours later than the good news, Jinling also received the news that Xia Houyuan was captured...
Xia Houjuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is not easy to take prisoners in naval battles, due to the battle line tactics, it is completely a long-distance battle. It is difficult for General Jinyu to be bombarded to death without being suppressed.
For Ji Zao soldiers and ordinary wood and stone generals, it is not easy to be captured, but for stronger gilded generals and gold and jade generals, the chance of being captured increases...
All you need to do is risk your dignity and fly near the enemy ship, then disarm your armor, throw away your military symbols, and raise your hands to surrender.
Of course, Xia Houyuan was different. Gan Ning took it back by force.
When Xia Houyuan's main ship was destroyed, although he didn't know that Xia Houyuan was on it, looking at the size of the main ship, he knew that there must be important generals on it. Therefore, when it sank, a special "clearance" was carried out - concentrated artillery fire.
Stay near the sinking main ship to avoid rescue by other enemy ships.
After they were completely sunk, they went over to touch the captives. Under such circumstances, they were surprised to "touch" Xia Houyuan...
