We should treat the enemy with strategic contempt and tactical emphasis. Although this famous saying has not been born in this world, yan nanfei has fulfilled it.
After all, he and Shen Lang had fought a war more than two years ago and were inexplicably defeated. So this time, he had to be careful.
Encirclement and annihilation was the most conservative method of war, and his navy was eight times Shen Lang's, and the fleet was ten times full, completely surrounded and destroyed.
Of course, it would take a long time for a fleet of 150,000 people to assemble. Even the docks in Raging tide city could not accommodate so many warships at one time, and all the large docks within a thousand miles were confiscated.
In order to focus on this battle, all sea trade in Raging tide city stopped, and all merchant ships retreated to the dock along the north coast.
During this period of time, although Yan Nanfei had already sealed off the news, the news still flew out like wings, flying to Raging tide city and Nujiang county.
...
Zhu Wenhua returned to Xuanwu city with full ambition. This time, the negotiation with Yan Nanfei was a great success. From now on, he, Zhu Wenhua, will have a share in the sea trade in Raging tide city.
Zhuo Zhaoyan was still too ugly to eat, which was why he stabbed Yan Nanfei completely and forced him to support Zhu Wenhua.
The matter has been settled, and the next step is to settle Xu Qianqian. This is the most cost-effective way to build the silk business from scratch in the shortest time possible.
Zhu Wenhua didn't have to worry about Xu Qianqian not agreeing, because she was a realistic and smart woman. Even if the process was painful, there was only one way to compromise.
In order to protect her family, she had chosen to turn to Zhuo Zhaoyan. Why couldn't she turn to Zhu Wenhua?
Of course, there was no need to sleep with Zhuo Zhaoyan, but there was no way Zhu Wenhua would be killed.
"Someone, go get Xu Qianqian." After returning to the City lord's mansion, Zhu Wenhua ordered directly.
But soon, he changed his mind and said, "No, I personally went to the Xu family to ask for a kiss from old Mrs. Xu family."
Then Zhu Wenhua led hundreds of people to the Xu family, and if he did not succeed, he would directly copy the family. After all, the charges were ready.
Shen Lang, you've contributed too much. You're already dead. You can still use it, and it's still so useful.
The xu family mansion had been burned down, and now Xu Qianqian was working for Zhuo Zhaoyan, so he couldn't afford to live in the mansion.
A few people lived in a few yards, about two acres, although it was considered a big house, but compared to the previous Xu family manor was very simple.
After Zhu Wenhua entered the Xu family, he directly met the old wife of the Xu family and said, "Grandma xu, I want to marry Xu Qianqian as my concubine. Please do as you wish."
This world is so full of rites and joys. In the past, this kind of courtship would not happen to nobles. Even concubines have to follow the rules. At least one matchmaker should be invited. How could he force a marriage directly to the door?
But ever since Ning Shao took over the throne, the ethos in Yue kingdom seemed to have changed all of a sudden.
The old Xu family mother was filled with grief and indignation. The world was really unreasonable and dark. The xu family had already been forced into this situation, their family business had been taken away, and there were still people who would not let them go. This was forcing them to die.
Old Mrs. Xu really had the intention of bumping her head to death so as not to drag Xu Qianqian down, but when she thought of her grandson, who had just turned 12, she gave up on the idea.
It doesn't matter if she dies of old age, but if this grandson dies, the Xu family will be cut off.
...
At this moment, Xu Qianqian sat in front of Jingzi.
She knew that Zhu Wenhua was back and had rushed into the house to force the marriage. After all, the Xu family was so small now, so the big news must have been heard clearly.
Zhu Wenhua's negotiation in Raging tide city was very successful, and he had received Yan Nanfei's support, which made him even more satisfied.
Could she, Xu Qianqian, refuse?
Unless she doesn't care about her family's life or death, she really can't. There were only a few people left in the entire Xu family, and she was the pillar.
Zhu Wenhua, this animal, would really kill the whole xu family if she didn't agree.
Xu Qianqian picked up a sharp dagger and looked into Jingzi's face.
It looks so beautiful, just like a blooming flower, but it's going to be ruined soon.
Not only did he have to destroy his face, but he also had to destroy his body, so that Zhu Wenhua, the beast, would have no appetite at all.
Carefully pressing the dagger against his face, the cold feeling was really frightening. It must hurt a lot next.
Xu Qianqian's dagger grazed his face, and a small wound appeared, and blood gushed out.
It didn't hurt. It was just a burning sensation.
However, such a small wound is not enough. If you want to completely disfigure your face, you must open your skin and see deeply into your bones.
In that case, it would take more courage.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the door was slammed open and a young man rushed in and snatched the dagger from her hand.
"Sis, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Don't be like this. At worst, we'll fight them. At worst, the whole family will die. Anyway, living like this is too depressing. I don't want you to sacrifice for me like this."
This was Xu Qianqian's younger brother, xu yun. Although he was rich, he had never had a good life since he was a child. The Xu family had been destroyed when he was not sensible. After a little sensible, he had been living a life of fear. As the only male of the Xu family, he wanted to protect his sister, but he was too weak to do anything about it.
"Sister, if you dare to cut your face again, I will stab myself to death." Xu yun shouted at his neck with a dagger.
Xu Qianqian looked at her young brother and felt sad. It would be better if his brother was a jerk. She didn't need to sacrifice like this, but this brother was very sensible and successful.
But in this dark world, what can you do even if you can make a difference? I don't know how much torture and humiliation I have to endure to be able to stand out. By then, the whole human nature has been destroyed.
Just like Zhu Wenhua, who used to be a proud genius, he has finally made a name for himself, but he has also become a complete beast.
So some suffering, or she as a sister to bear it!
The Xu family house was so small that Zhu Wenhua quickly heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the scars and blood on Xu Qianqian's face, he was furious.
Xu Qianqian, what do you mean? Would you rather disfigure than marry me as a concubine?
I wish wen hua, the Yue kingdom scholar, the son of Viscount lan shan's mansion, is not worthy of you?
"Xu Qianqian, do you think you can stop me like this?" Zhu Wenhua smiled grimly and said, "I want you as a person, and you used to be a Shen Lang woman. Don't say disfigurement, even if you destroy that place, I still want to marry you as a concubine, and I still want to sleep with you dozens of times. If you have the ability, you kill yourself. You take your whole family with you to die."
Xu Qianqian trembled, she had never felt so weak before.
That day, Xu Guang promised to die, the whole family of the Xu family almost died, and the big house was burned down, but Xu Qianqian felt stronger.
But now the feeling of power was gone, and there was only endless weakness.
Because there are weaknesses, because there is a bottom line, because it can't be absolutely shameless.
Zhu Wenhua sneered and said, "Anyway, I've already said this. Let me ask you, do you agree or not to marry me as a concubine?"
"No!" Before Xu Qianqian could say anything, xu yun shouted directly, "What's the big deal? You killed me. I'm not afraid of death."
Zhu Wenhua sneered, "Little brother, you don't understand. There are more terrible things in this world than death, hahaha."
Then he pulled out a sword and put it directly on xu yun's eyelids, "Xu Qianqian, as long as I exert a little bit of force, your brother will be blind. Do you agree or not?"
Xu yun was very scared and trembled all over, but he remained motionless and did not take a step back. Then the tip of the sword cut his eyelids and blood flowed down to blur his eyes.
Zhu Wenhua said, "Xu Qianqian, I count down to five, five, four, three..."
At this moment, a figure rushed over and whispered something in Zhu Wenhua's ear.
"Latest news, news from A wave of anger city, Shen Lang is back."
As soon as he said this, Zhu Wenhua's hand shook violently. The tip of the sword immediately cut a long wound on xu yun's eyelid and forehead, and blood flowed like a stream.
"What? How is that possible?" Zhu Wenhua screamed, "Is it a rumor? The same as before?"
In the past two years, the news of Shen Lang's return was not once or twice, but every time it was a rumor, Yue kingdom even killed hundreds of people, and the rumor about Shen Lang's return gradually faded.
"It's not a rumor. It's from lord Yan Nanfei." Confidant martial arts.
Zhu Wenhua was so stiff and trembling that he couldn't believe his ears at all.
Shen Lang is not dead yet? How can this ominous thing resist? How can it not die?
Zhu Wenhua took a deep look at Xu Qianqian and took a deep breath.
Now it doesn't matter to marry Xu Qianqian as a concubine, or even to do the silk business.
Shen Lang's return must have been a drastic change in the world, and Raging tide city's maritime trade would be cut off for a long, long time.
"Take down the entire xu family." Zhu Wenhua ordered.
Suddenly hundreds of warriors swarmed in and began to copy houses to catch people.
Half an hour later, the remaining dozen members of the Xu family, including their slaves, were all arrested and locked up in Xuanwu city's cells.
...
"What? Shen Lang is back? How is that possible?!"
Zhuo Zhaoyan's reaction was stronger than zhu wenhua's. After all, she was closer to Tianya haige and knew how dangerous The great triangle of demons was.
Shen Lang came back alive. How many lives did he have?
The world is about to change again!
"Let's go!" Zhuo Zhaoyan galloped out of the original Marquis xuanwu's mansion with a knight on his fast horse.
But where should he go? Zhuo Zhaoyan was in a dilemma. Should he report to Tianya haige or the capital?
After some hesitation, Zhuo Zhaoyan decided to head south to Tianya haige before going to Yueguo King city.
...
More than half a month later, Yan Nanfei's 150,000 fleets were still assembled, moving south in a mighty manner, and killing the Shen lang fleet.
He was no longer in a panic because the information about Shen Lang was getting clearer and clearer, and even Yan Nanfei had sent a fleet of scouts to monitor the Shen lang fleet all the time.
Nearly 20 days had passed since the Shen lang fleet was discovered, and it was said that the Shen lang fleet should have been killed in Raging tide city long ago.
But ever since he was discovered, his fleet slowed down and circled an entire sea area.
And the fleet which was difficult to fly was getting bolder and bolder. It was getting closer and closer to monitor and observe, and information was constantly coming from them.
Shen Lang's fleet should be dominated by pirates, and the pirates were very diverse, including yellow, white, and many brown races.
At first, Yan Nanfei thought it was a mercenary, but the Skeleton party flag was too conspicuous.
Most people in the western world know nothing about it, but there are always exceptions. For example, the Yinyuanhui, some of the merchants and nobles who fled from the western world to the eastern world, the slaveholders who were destroyed by Chou Yaoer, and so on.
They gave Yan Nanfei a key signal that it was the Skeleton party, the most powerful pirate in the western world, but it had been gone for more than a decade.
Although the western slave owners used exaggerated words to describe your Skeleton fleet, yan nanfei was completely relieved.
Pirates love to brag. How strong can they be?
The civilization of the western world began almost from the The xilun dynasty. It is only a few hundred years now. In front of the eastern world, it is completely at the younger brother level.
Not to mention that there were only less than 20,000 pirates, and it was impossible to turn the world upside down.
...
On this day, the sea was calm and sunny.
The Yan nanfei fleet's siege is slowly taking shape.
In fact, up until now, he had not been ordered by Yueguo King, but he did not need it at all. Because the The great yan empire's previous orders were clear, once Shen Lang returned, there was no need to ask anyone to do anything to destroy it.
Yan Nanfei couldn't sleep for days and nights because of excitement and nervousness.
Shen Lang's return was horrifying, but it was more of an opportunity and credit.
The last time his majesty sent half a world army to encircle Shen Lang in order to establish his power, there was no need at all. He was just trying to intimidate all the countries in the world, sweeping the world in the name of the son of Jiang Li.
And this time, if he could kill Shen Lang, he would make an immoral contribution. By that time, he would no longer be Wu Anbo and would be promoted directly to marquis or even duke.
There is no enemy in this world who has a higher price / performance ratio than shen lang. It is shocking enough, but weak enough.
For the past few days, Yan Nanfei had been worried about whether shen lang would suddenly jump out of the encirclement and run away.
Because it was too difficult and too slow to build an encirclement in the vast sea.
In order not to scare Shen Lang away, Yan Nanfei's big encirclement was absolutely accurate to ensure that the encirclement was ongoing, but it did not enter the vision of the Shen lang fleet.
It took five days and five nights.
The encirclement was successful.
Yan Nanfei's 150,000 fleet was officially encircled.
He heaved a long sigh of relief.
He was about to make an immoral contribution.
"Narrow the circle and hang!"
...
At Yan Nanfei's command, the huge circle was slowly shrinking.
If you look down from the sky, you will see an incomparably spectacular scene.
This huge encirclement was more than two hundred miles in diameter, and Yan Nanfei's 150,000 fleets were scattered over tens of thousands of square kilometers of sea, and then shrank.
There is no radio in this world, and it is impossible to command from a long distance.
It wasn't easy for Yan Nanfei. He had trained many times before he could complete the encirclement in a few days and nights.
"Has Shen Lang's fleet moved yet?" Yan Nanfei held his breath and asked.
"No!"
After a while, Yan Nanfei asked again, "Has the Shen lang fleet moved?"
"No!"
Yan Nanfei couldn't believe it. What kind of trick was Shen Lang putting on?
This is the boundless deep sea. It can't be stranded at all.
But Yan Nanfei was surrounded by a slave owner from the west, and he was talking about the Skeleton party.
Yan nai fei said, "That is to say, what Skeleton fleet is good at is jumping off a ship? Is it relying on the courage of blood?"
"Yes."
Yan nanfei said, "You said that the Skeleton fleet disappeared more than ten years ago, which means that the average age of this fleet is at least over forty years younger?"
"It should be, my lord." Slave owners in the western world said.
That was even more appropriate. Yan Nanfei felt that his fleet would not give the Skeleton party a chance to jump off the ship, and they launched out at a distance of 200 meters.
And even if it was a jump ship battle, less than 20,000 people could fight more than 150,000 people? Absolutely impossible!
...
Yan Nanfei's 150,000 fleet was closing in.
Finally, both fleets were within sight.
Shen Lang's branch fleet was originally considered huge, a total of 100 warships, nearly 20,000 people. But compared to the Yan nanfei fleet, it seemed so insignificant and weak.
But what surprised Yan Nanfei was that Shen Lang's fleet remained unmoving, completely following the current, and even the sails were put away.
What is Shen Lang doing?
But no matter what he wanted to do, what could be better than an unmoving enemy fleet in this world?
In the last sea battle, Shen Lang used his fleet's speed to escape and fly kites, or else the whole army would have been destroyed.
And now he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.
The two fleets were getting closer and closer.
Yan Nanfei's huge fleet of 150,000 people was like a giant beast, trying to completely devour the Shen lang fleet.
He was so excited that it was hard to suppress.
This is a wonderful situation.
...
It was a wonderful situation, and that was how Shen Lang felt.
What is the most frightening thing about a sea battle? The enemy fleet was sparse, so it would take at least a few dozen rounds of artillery to master accuracy.
The Yan nanfei fleet in front of them, in order to achieve the group wolf effect, between ships and ships is indescribably crowded and dense, almost less than the safe distance.
"Flank left and right, attack!"
At Yan Nanfei's command, the ships on the east and west sides quickly sandwiched between them.
"Sail!" Jack Tang ordered.
All of Shen Lang's 100 warships sailed.
The Yan nanfei fleet was astonished to see that it was only now that the sails started? Isn't it too late? At this time, your fleet will not be able to escape even if it has wings.
The two fleets continued to approach.
Jack Tang ordered, "Take off the vest!"
In an instant, all the artillery jackets of hundreds of warships were lifted.
Yan nanfei was stunned. What is this iron pipe? Thick and black.
"Get ready!"
Jack Tang shouted.
The commanders on each battleship shouted, and the flagmen on the mast waved their banners neatly.
The gunners of the Skeleton party and the Eastern knights began to stuff explosives, shells, and aim.
As the enemy ships approached, they began to adjust their muzzles.
Shen Lang's cannon went straight past the original stage, and now there was no black powder. All of them were powerful explosives. Although they were still iron balls, the cannon was made of steel, and its strength was amazing enough.
Therefore, the maximum range of the artillery can reach more than two thousand meters, and the effective range can be more than one thousand meters.
The measuring sailors on the battleship skillfully calculated the enemy's distance.
"1,800 Meters."
"1,500 Meters."
"One kilometer!"
"Nine hundred meters!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
With one command, more than 500 cannons opened fire.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Waves of earth-shattering roars.
Five hundred shells shot out like lightning.
"Whoosh, whoosh..." The shells made a beautiful arc in the air, slammed at Yan Nanfei's fleet and roared in the air.
Great!
That was great!
This is how all Skeleton party feel.
Previously, in order to save ammunition, they did not dare to fire like this after coming to the sea.
With a sharp weapon in his arms, his killing heart rose. With this kind of artillery, he could not fight a real battle with real knives and guns. It was really suffocating.
Now all the desire to fight has begun to pour out.
...
Yan nanfei first saw the incoming shells, then heard the earth-shattering sound.
Then, he was almost completely stunned.
This, this, what kind of weapon is this? How could it hit so far? How could it be so earth-shattering?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
The sailors of the Yan nanfei fleet felt a shocking scene.
The sky roared, and countless black spots flew over the top of their heads, flying at an incredible speed, almost a few hundred meters in a flash.
At such a distance, whether it was Shen Lang or Jack Tang, they didn't even think about getting a hit.
But that was good luck.
"Bang bang..."
More than a dozen of the shells slammed into the enemy ship.
Even if they were so far away, the high-speed iron ball had exerted an astonishing amount of damage.
It hit the mast and broke.
It hit the deck and penetrated.
It hit the human body and was crushed to pieces.
However, Yan Nanfei did not have time to express his shock.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
There were loud noises again.
Then, hundreds of black spots shot out of the Shen lang fleet.
This was not only because the firing rate was fast, but also because the left and right sides had to take turns to fire, so as to relatively effectively offset the recoil when firing.
A moment later!
"Bang bang..."
More than a dozen shells smashed into Yan Nanfei's fleet and shattered into pieces.
...
"General, what should we do? What should we do?"
Yan Nanfei's scalp went numb and he said to the slave owners in the western world, "Is this also the way the Skeleton party fights?"
The slave owner was completely stunned. He had never seen such a weapon before.
"No, no, no. The Skeleton party doesn't have such weapons, and neither does the western world."
Yan Nanfei's teeth were cold, and there was no doubt that Shen Lang had created it again.
Although it was amazing, the hit rate was still too low. As long as they got close, their fleet could pile up Shen lang fleet even with the advantage of numbers.
Gritting his teeth, Yan Nanfei ordered, "Keep moving, keep moving!"
"The left and right armies, continue to advance. The north and south armies, slowly approaching, ready to rush to help."
Then, Yan Nanfei's left and right fleets sped up.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
With a single command.
The Shen lang fleet kept firing.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The loud noise on the sea was deafening, and the burning iron balls in the sky whistled past like countless meteors.
If it was a primitive cannon, the firing rate would be extremely high. However, shen lang used almost smokeless gunpowder and wrapped it up in oil-soaked silk. After firing, the barrel almost didn't need to be cleaned up. It almost burned clean and there was not much residue.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
More than a thousand cannons were firing furiously.
With a round of shelling, the gunners of the Shen lang fleet began to feel more and more accurate.
And the Yan nanfei fleet is really too crowded.
At first, the hit rate was less than three-fifths, but then it rose to an astonishing ten percent.
Each time, more than fifty or sixty shells hit the enemy ship.
Once hit, a huge hole was ripped open and the sea surged in.
"Bang bang..."
One of the shells was lucky enough to hit the fish oil tank directly. It penetrated several protective layers in an instant, and the burning iron ball directly smashed into the fish oil.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
An earth-shattering explosion erupted with an earth-shattering flame.
The parts on the deck of the Yan Nanfei were instantly shattered and burned.
The battleship was completely destroyed.
"Bang bang..."
The destruction of a warship seemed to have opened some sort of prelude.
Next, more than a dozen shells hit a ship at the same time. In an instant, they swept across the ship and shattered everything the iron ball passed by.
It was as if the ship had been cut off. The most important thing was that the keel had been cut off alive.
"Creak..."
After a hard and piercing sound, the entire ship broke apart.
Yan Nanfei's second warship was destroyed.
Then came the third, fourth, and fifth...
The entire sea was a one-sided massacre!
...
