During this period of time, shipping in the eastern empire’s coastal areas could not be said to have suffered a huge blow, but it was definitely very uncomfortable. Most of the fleet had contacted Cao’s fleet, and either was robbed or robbed. If I was robbed, or even the people and the boat were robbed, Li Cong had no choice but to do such a thing. When he came, he also thought that he would not deal with the people’s property, but now he can’t think so much. Now, the situation in the northern battlefield has changed every day. I can only cause huge panic on the southern coast and make the entire Eastern Empire pay a certain price. They will transfer the northern army to the south. Now the Eastern Empire’s navy It is already ready for a large-scale search to send out this mysterious pirate.
This time, the Eastern Empire replenished one-third of their navy to more than a dozen cities along the southern coast. After Li Cong learned the news, he asked his subordinates to gather all his fleets together. Li Cong must be with Wu Zuoxi at this time. After talking about things, we have to go north to the northern battlefield. Now, the southern sea area is more powerful than the northern battlefield. If you are accidentally surrounded by this fleet, you will have to build a navy with your own hard work. It might be gone. The artillery of these ships is worthless. It is just transported from the earth at high speed. Those who can build these things at full power, the most important thing is the crew on these ships, they After studying for a while, I have become very familiar with this thing. In the future, these are all elite naval officers, and they can help themselves train more crew members.So they absolutely cannot go back.
In this battle, Li Cong decided to command himself. Even if several admirals with good commanding ability emerged from the navy, Li Cong felt that he needed to do it himself, even if he was watching by an advisor. At this time Li Cong is a little bit thinking about the advanced equipment on the earth. If there are radar satellites and the like, this war will definitely win the battle, but now he does not have those, but compared with the naval fleet of the Eastern Empire, he already has It is a very shortcoming. Look at the engines of your fleet, and then look at the artillery and shells. At present, the main attack method of the Eastern Empire’s navy is to use some ropes on the ship to go around people or go directly to knock the ship over. .An attack is some small arms on the ship.This kind of thing can be said to have no threat to Li Cong's fleet, as long as they are not allowed to approach.
However, the navy of the Eastern Empire is not a fool. After a period of fighting, they also know that the weapons in their hands pose no threat to the pirate. Even if they have many ships, they can only rely on fighting. Loss left the opponent behind.Although the Eastern Empire is rich.But it has not yet reached the point where it can be thrown around.It's as if their current transmissions cost more than 30,000 silver for each warship, and these silvers are definitely not a small amount.One-third of their naval fleet will definitely not be missing. For the Eastern Empire, it is no problem to draw out 3000 warships casually. Now there is such a huge fleet waiting for Li Cong’s fleet. Both of them wanted to quickly find out that Li from this side also wanted to concentrate his fleet to kill the other side. They also thought the same way. It depends on who is acting fast.
The number of the Eastern Empire’s assembled naval fleet is too large. The number of ships alone is 30 million, and there are more ships. If all these ships are assembled and arranged on the sea, Li Cong’s fleet is like one. It’s the same as the little black dots and sesame seeds. It may be said that the sesame seeds are a little underestimated. They are more than ten times larger than this. Even if Li Cong's fleet is severely surrounded by such a fleet of ships, they will also There is no possibility of running out. Even if the people are exhausted and left behind you, you can see from this point that the Eastern Empire is really bloody this time, and they will not be arrested. They will never give up. With this meaning, everyone must be more careful. They must not be foolish. They may attack everywhere as before until they fail.
In the two days that Li Cong had just entered the naval fleet, Li Cong discovered a very bad phenomenon, that is, the naval officers and soldiers in his hand, they all have a very proud mood, in their opinion The navy roots of these Eastern Empires cannot be regarded as navy. If they want to fight head-to-head with themselves, they can definitely kill a dozen or even twenty of them with a single ship?As long as you have enough shells, it’s okay to want to kill them all if you can’t use your own strength. Li Cong also understands from the side, it’s no wonder that they have been there for the past few months. Even a single ship dared to go out to provoke a fleet of other people. In the end, they won’t be able to do anything. The motor on their ship is too fast, and the artillery is too fierce, even a ship. It is an indisputable fact that they can fail a fleet.
With such a remarkable record, it is not surprising that they can think this way in their hearts. What these people are thinking is, what about the number of naval ships in the Eastern Empire?As long as we keep a certain distance from them and not reach them, they will not pose any threat to us. During this time, we will not find their land and want to rob. We are in the sea, keeping such a distance from them. You struggle, unless you can fly over, otherwise you can only be passively beaten. Even if we are surrounded, we can also pass quickly by our own high speed. Of course, the encirclement should not be too thick. If it's really too thick, they can't pretend it. Try to be careful not to let them be surrounded. This is the naval officer who thinks that as long as he is not surrounded by them, there will be nothing else on the base, but Li Cong But I don’t think so. Fighting at sea is not the same as on land. You can find support on land at any time. I want to support at sea. It’s too sleepy.
For their thoughts, Li Cong felt that they had to be resolved before the decisive battle. If they didn't resolve it with them next month, they would suffer a big loss if they went to the battlefield with this mindset.Li Cong summoned thousands of captains in his hands. These people are the core of a small team after they go to sea. As long as they don’t panic, the entire ship will not panic. Nowadays, there are generally more than 100 people on a ship. This captain is like their soul. If he sees that the captain is okay, his calm expression will make everyone feel okay. If he panics, the ship will be finished, Li Cong What I told them was.Don't think that the East Empire has no way to deal with you.People must have their own way to assemble such a huge fleet. Li Cong listed a few things on the spot, and I can adapt them, if you do.Their fleet will also face threats.
Things are the same as Li Cong said.The Eastern Empire indeed cultivated a number of new weapons.These weapons were specially designed to deal with Li Cong and their fleet in the South China Sea. These weapons can be said to be long-range attack weapons, although there is nothing new.But after testing, it is much stronger than before. For example, they were transported from the Army’s crossbow arrows. This thing can be launched at a distance of nearly two kilometers at sea. In the past, their attack distance was definitely not that far. If the crossbow bolt is in the middle of the warship, it will also bring some damage to the warship. Although it is wood on the outside and iron on the inside, if it hits it will not cause too much threat to them, there will be some losses, and The most important thing is that the number of people is huge. If ten ships treat you at one hand, you will be able to get hit.
The other is the so-called suicide ship composed of some prisoners of the Eastern Empire. This is also a very powerful weapon of the Eastern Empire. These suicide ships can carry about three or four people on them, and their speed is very fast. There was nothing but the sails and some flammable things were put on them. Although the speed was still not as fast as the warships of Cao’s business, it was also much faster than their original speed. They bloomed some flammable things on the ship. They would light up some of the things on the ship of Cao’s business, and then rush up at their own speed, so that they can light the Cao’s ship of the business. Of course, the people they rushed over are absolutely They won't go back alive, so these days they are called suicide boats. The number of these suicide boats will definitely be very large, and the specific combat capabilities are still not very clear.
According to Li Cong’s guess, the number of suicide boats to attack will definitely not be less than one hundred. There are more than one hundred suicide boats approaching in an all-round way. Even if you have thousands of artillery on board, it is impossible to take this Hundreds of suicide boats have all hit the bottom of the sea, and there will always be one or two leaky fishes. If these leaky fish rush over, it will cause you heavy losses. The warships of Cao Jiashang are also wooden. , As long as it is pointed, the entire ship may be burned, so the thing to wake up these naval officers now is to absolutely pay attention to these ships and never careless, the first thing to do when seeing them go out is not Fire at them but let your speed add up to at least exceed their speed. Keep a certain distance and attack them. You can't let your speed down because of the expansion of the battle.
The following captains were indeed a little surprised after listening to Li Cong’s introduction. They did not expect that the Eastern Empire had produced such a powerful weapon in such a short period of time. They had all seen the crossbow. He, they also know that their attack power is not very strong nor terrified. This is the first time they heard of this suicide ship. In the past, their warships were generally injured and could not continue. Fight, stay and sink the enemy's warship, but that is rarely successful, because your warship slows down after it is damaged, but people's warships are not soaked in water, and the speed is generally twice yours. Twice, what you want to die with others, you don't want to die with you, the other is that there are so many suicide boats that they didn't want to go back when they came up.
What they have to do is to come and die with you. The people above are all prisoners of the Eastern Empire. When they are in prison, the Empire gives them this opportunity, as long as they can talk to others. Can their family members get some rewards for working hard?Anyway, I have been in prison for a lifetime. If I go out and fight for it, what can I do to bring a lot of wealth to my family?According to the spy report that Li Cong planted in the Eastern Empire.The Eastern Empire is vigorously developing this kind of suicide ship, which is like the kind of asymmetrical war on the earth. It clearly has a strong military strength here, but people don’t want to fight head-on with you. They want this kind of suicide ship. , You have nothing to do with people. If there are mines, you don’t need to be afraid of them for the time being, but there is no such thing in this society now.
"Master Cao, don't we have a solution to this matter? If the number of suicide boats is really moving, we have to keep our distance from them and attack them. This is really a very difficult thing. Moreover, you also just now When talking about the purpose of the suicide boat, the goal is too small. Our boat has more than a hundred soldiers just like looking at the surroundings all the time, and you might not be able to see it. Although the sea is vast, but this This kind of action pays attention to coordination. If we find that the suicide ship will mess up our hands and feet, it will cause a lot of confusion in the combat steps of the entire fleet." After Li Cong introduced the things here, a captain came down from the background and said .His words also represent the doubts of most captains. These people don't know how to deal with the suicide ship?Obviously, the way Li Cong came out to keep a distance, they didn't think it was an effective way.
"What you said is very good, this is the problem you said. I also considered it. But so far we have no very good way to deal with their suicide boats. First of all, I have not seen them commit suicide. The ship, even our armies, have never played against them. I don’t know what their combat power and speed are like. Everything is brought to us by our spies in front. Although the information they seized is accurate, most of them are not. After our analysis, we didn’t see the actual situation with our own eyes, so I decided to send one of our squadrons in the last few days to see what happened to them? Get first-hand war information in During the war, only what we saw with our own eyes was true. The news from others could only serve as a reference. Information from the intelligence department can help us a lot, but sometimes we too believe that they will eat too. It's a big loss."
Li Cong nodded from what Li Cong said to the captain doors below. Indeed, what Li Cong said is correct. If you don’t go to the battlefield to see it, you will definitely not know some of their specific parameters by relying on your own guesses. Small-scale fleets are easy to turn around and can figure out their details. This is indeed a good way. If large-scale fleets rush up by then, their fleets will be a very large sea area. At that time, there will be a large number of suicide ships rushing over. The warship on the tail is out of tune, but the warships in the front in the middle, because of the slowness of the warships in the back, of course they can’t escape, so the loss can be too great. Let the Eastern Empire see that their suicide ship works. They will definitely build this thing on a large scale. That was when Li Cong had a headache. If the coastal areas could not put pressure on the Eastern Empire, the back battlefield would become Bigger is several times stronger than it is now.
The captains outside heard that they had a chance to go out. They hadn’t been out to sea for a long time since Li Cong gave the order. They were all huddled in their own harbor. There was no way. Before the enemy’s situation was investigated clearly, Bringing his fleet up to death is almost the same. Li Tong believes that each of his crew’s lives are very precious, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be sent to death. Li Cong calculated for them. An ordinary crew member needs 500 silver to be trained, and a slightly more advanced officer needs thousands of silver. Just like the captains in front of him, I feel that gold is not enough to equal their weight. He could afford to lose so much gold, but if these people were lost, they couldn't afford to lose. Seeing that these people wanted to play with him, Li Cong signaled them to calm down.
Li Cong has already calculated who to take out or not. It’s not that you stand up and yell and yell loudly. I have to listen to you. If that’s the case, I guess all these people now They all yelled. These people sat down one by one after seeing Li Tong’s gestures. They also knew that the performance they had just now was sometimes at their usual level. They were an officer and an excellent navy. Officer, such a thing is similar to the market shrew.For things that he could not do, Li Cong was very satisfied with their performance. At least for now, they are the only disciplined troops on this continent, and the other troops are also disciplined. He is here. They don't have their level, and they were very dissatisfied with the training method of kicking at the beginning. Now it seems that each of them feels good.
In maritime operations, we must especially talk about a coordinated combat force. Li Tong’s army kicks the ground and trains for a week at most, but these people are different. They have two to three weeks to train these things. It means that they need to enhance their collective sense and abandon all individual heroism. It does not mean that they do not develop this kind of individual heroism. It is much better than individual heroism to fight together in a real war. They also recognize their personal abilities at the beginning.It is much stronger than the ability given to the team.After this period of training, especially when they have become a training method like platoon group, they also feel a sense of collective honor, especially in the smallest class.They all felt that the monitor and deputy monitor gave them some correct guidance.What is certain is that they will become squad leader and deputy squad leader when they leave the fleet in the near future.
"I plan to take only ten warships out for this operation. The rest of the people will continue to stay in the harbor for training? Just after Li Tong's words, the following is like a pan, there are thousands of warships in it, and you only bring ten. After the warship goes out, we have more than 900 captains left. What are we doing here? We are still training. Our recent training time has not been short. We are all training in the same way as before, and there is no training at all. Of course, Li Tong knows the difficulties in their hearts with the new tactics. They have been trained and trained as a pack of wolves. They have to go out and bite the talents, but they are all wolves who treat them as dogs. In their own home, this is a very difficult day for them, but now they can’t cast their ropes to send them out to die. The hunter episode over there has polished up their hunting grounds. Complaining that Li Cong simply ignored him.
It’s not that I don’t think about their ideas. It’s that these people have no way to think about it, and they don’t have a solution to this matter. It’s better to ignore them. The captains of the ten warships selected by Li Cong are happy at this time. I started, shouting that I promised to complete the task. Li Cong nodded. These guys were actually chosen by himself. He didn't want any so-called elites. Didn't you say that just now? Elite, then I really ordered a few randomly. Some of the captains who were sitting were not convinced at this time. They stood up and said angrily how could they be called?His 125 ship is far worse than my warship. How many warships can he destroy every time he goes out? How many warships can I destroy every time I go out. Our two grades are not in the same grade. Go or not let me go."This is what a captain is complaining about. What he said may be the truth, but Li Tong didn't have much idea about what he said. He glanced at him and just nodded.
That guy’s thinking is also very simple. The thorns in the army usually attract the attention of their bosses. He wants to be this thorn. Unfortunately, it is regarded as a thorn. He successfully attracted Li Cong’s attention, but Li Cong didn’t give him this opportunity. Li didn’t even think about it since he was a child, so he went out and left a handful of dumbfounded shopkeepers. Of course, the ten selected captains became besieged at this time. The goal, they all wanted to sneak out quickly while Li Cong walked out, and now only these people are left to surround them quickly, when these ten people walk out, their clothes will be caught , Look at the expressions on their faces although they are painful, but they are only happy, because they have been chosen to follow their bosses out to fight, do not have to nest in this place, as for the danger that will happen in the future, they No worries.
From the day when they first became the navy, they never thought about how long their lives could be retained. Although they were more careful to keep their lives a little longer, they also knew that living in the ocean would be possible without knowing when Lost their own lives. These things don’t need anyone to tell them. Every time they set sail, they know this very well, so they don’t think so much about their lives over time. On the contrary, they all have great hopes for victory after war.They hope that they can live in wars like the deep forest every day, because they always win battles before, and their losses can be said to be minimal. The losses are all on the enemy's side, so there is no loss at their roots?Of course, I wanted to go out to fight. Although there would be danger this time, they were not afraid or retreat.
Some senior navy officers also blocked Li Tong and Cao Ye at the intersection. Is this matter under consideration? The number of ten warships is really too small. We usually take the time to attack an enemy city. There are all up to 30, right? Ten warships really can't do anything?If you really rely on these ten warships to get out, once you are surrounded by the enemy.The chance of getting out is gone.They are also very worried about Li Cong’s safety. These people are all people who have taken genetic medicine. If Li Tong really has any problems, they will never survive on their own. They also hope that Li Cong will go out with a large group of troops. Li Cong smiled. Didn't say anything?Looking at these people, he knew what they wanted?Worrying about yourself is good.He himself made the biggest mistake by taking a large group of troops out.
Is this time different from before?You need to know that you beat the governor because we are familiar with our enemy.The way they attack.You are all going, but now they have a new breed, we are not sure. Although our intelligence department has some information, I also said it at the conference just now.If you don’t see and hear something with your own eyes, you can’t take it seriously. Since it’s to test people’s combat effectiveness, why do you need to bring your own large fleet with you, then this test has lost its meaning?So you don’t want to see me anymore. I’ll just take these troops out. You should think about things for the better. Maybe I’ll come back with ten warships intact. Li Cong just finished speaking. He took his adjutant and left, leaving a few senior navy officers to look at each other. The boss's mind was really strong, and their militants were not as bold as him.
In the Eastern Empire, the Jia family and Linghu family were waiting for news. The news that Linghu family got was some of the parameters of these suicide ships, but the suicide ships were the top secret of the Eastern Empire, and the Linghu family was not in charge of this matter. Yes, the news that Linghu got home was very limited. After the boy came back, Linghu wanted to help Li Cong very much. On the southern coast, the strength of their Linghu family can be said to be lacking, so the power of those people The more the damage, the more useful it is to them. After Linghu came back, only his own people began to collect information from the South China Sea on a large scale. Up to now, he has given this information very correctly. Today he also went to the sea. He hoped to see the suicide ship with his own eyes in one of the harbors. The heir of the Linghu family would naturally have his own strength if he wanted to see this suicide ship. Although it was the top secret, it was open to him.
What is the relationship between the royal family of the Eastern Empire and the Linghu family? What is supposed to be done on the surface? The young master of the Linghu family wants to see the top secrets of the empire. It's a family. Although most of the news is unknown to the common people, many high-level officials already know it. This is also the result of Li Cong's release of the news. The senior leaders of the Linghu family now feel that they must Do some means of self-protection. If there is no means of self-protection, they will lose them if the court takes action against them. They will be able to disappear from the territory of the Eastern Empire. Now there is such a huge pressure to converge with Raiden. While pressing on them, neither the Linghu family nor the court did anything. Once this pressure disappears, both of them may turn against each other. The internal wars are often more intense than the external ones. This is very clear to everyone.
"Master Linghu, this is the suicide boat we are currently developing. At present, about 500,000 suicide boats have been manufactured in the southern coastal area. We have also recruited more than 10 million people in our cells. These people are willing to bear these ships and fight the pirates to the death. Now I dare to say that as long as the pirates arrive, they will have no return," said the navy officer in the southern coastal area to Linghu. Although Linghu this kid There is no official position in the imperial court, but where is the influence of others, such things are also very common in the Southern Empire. Although there is no official position, the position is still necessary. Linghu frowned when he heard his introduction. Wrinkled.The naval officer thought he didn't introduce it in detail, but Linghu was actually worried about Li Cong.
"Don’t say it’s so nice. You built it on such a large scale without actual combat. If these things don’t work for the pirates, your losses this time will be really great. It’s okay. Our empire is still losing. The most important thing is to count time. If these things you created during this period of time are of no use, how should we face pirates? Now the traffic on the southern coast of the empire has been cut off. Nearly one-third of the time, the connection between the major cities is no longer available by sea. We are different from the other three empires. They have their own transportation network on land, but we are too dependent on The reason for these sea transportation is that our land transportation network is in a poor state without development." Linghu didn't give this guy a good face, and this guy was also said to be sweaty.
"Returning to Master Linghu. We have rarely seen those pirates recently. We feel that they have also noticed our new weapons here. So we won't come out for the time being. We have already formulated the attack on these people. The battle plan. It must be possible for them to come back and forth.” This guy is very confidential even when facing Master Linghu. What is their battle plan?Although Linghu wanted to know very much in his heart at this time, he couldn't continue to do so. His identity should only focus on some general directions. Small things like this, such as the battle plan against the enemy, are all military. There is no need for him to ask this question about the Ministry. Everyone believes that he will not betray the Eastern Empire. However, once the news is leaked, anyone who knows the news will be implicated, and he will definitely not do it himself. Up.
For the Linghu family, they have less time at this time. Linghu only gathers% of the entire family, and the remaining 80% is not in his own hands. But what makes Linghu more fortunate , 50% of them are willing to fight against the court like him. Only the remaining 50% recognize that their relationship with the court can be maintained for such a long time. The dreaming minds of these people make Linghu feel very It’s strange, now that this situation has come, people are already sharpening their knives, and you still put your face together. What is it that people cut you with a single knife?There is really no way to talk about these people. They are simply unreasonable. Linghu must help Li Cong. To help Li Cong is to help himself. The power of the Eastern Empire must be greatly reduced.
He didn't get the suicide ship's combat plan. He didn't know how to help Li Cong at this time?Suddenly she saw the suicide boats in the harbor, there were thousands of them. It would be good if they could give Li a message. His fleet only needs to come here for an assault. The suicide boats were all killed. At that time, the Eastern Empire wanted to formulate a new battle plan. It took some time. Li Cong could continue to plunder some Shanghai on the southern coast of the Eastern Empire. Now the Eastern Empire has also changed its plan to board the ship. They were driven out by a few ships. Now they are completely different. There is a large naval fleet escorting them. Although the threat of encountering pirates has been reduced a lot, if Li Cong really wants to come and fight them , These people also have no way to make your naval fleet too weak.
After Linghu arrived in the Eastern Empire and needed to keep secrets, he didn’t get in touch with Li from there anymore. Even if he wanted to contact him, he would send some very cryptic messages. If the news were made public, Linghu himself might There is no place to die. Not only the Eastern Empire’s imperial court wanting to kill him, but also the members of the Linghu family will never let him go. So everything needs to be done carefully. The fat here is big but hunting. Fox will not risk giving the news here to Li Cong. Now he can only pray from the bottom of his heart, hoping that Li will never let himself down. He feels that Li has never been a peaceful person. It was calm, but within a few days, Li Cong would definitely bring his fleet over in a few days. God knows what will happen then.
Just when Linghu was also thinking about Li Cong, Li Tong had already set off with his fleet. After eight hours of voyage, ten warships found his first target at sea. This is the southern coast of the Eastern Empire. Province. Another province of mine. There are about thirty merchant ships in it, including six naval fleets. Li Cong didn’t say anything when he saw them because they didn’t have the so-called new weapons. Not to mention the suicide ships that caused Li's headaches. After that, the warships lined up these merchant ships in a straight line. It was considered cooperation. Before Li Tong's warships fired, the white flags were immediately hung. What do you mean?Later, they were robbed by Li Cong warships a lot, and they also learned well. As long as the white flag warship is hung up, the only thing they won't be able to fire is to come up and grab people's things. What they have to do now is this job.
"I really didn't expect that our fleet can reach this level now. They saw our fleet automatically hang the white flag. Um, yes, I like this better." Li Tong said cheerfully with a splint. I really didn’t expect that his fleet can now be like this. This is considered a more prestigious thing. The other captains on the ship also laughed. There are not many things that can show a face in front of their boss. See, they are all standing on the deck waiting for the other person to come and surrender. The navy of the Eastern Empire is indeed frightened now. They don’t even have a sense of resistance. They understand that there is so much density there. The outstretched artillery mouth can send them all to the sea to feed the fish within ten minutes, so if you do useless resistance, you will never do it. These are also accepted on board, as long as you can save your life. That's it, the most unwilling is the rich man.
They were the ones who suffered the most after being robbed. Although they were yelling on the boat to make these sailors run quickly, but after they finished shouting, they found that the sailors looked at them with idiot eyes. Are you all? Are you silly? What are we joking about now? I don’t know how many times the speed of others is faster than us. We mainly sail our boat out. It is estimated that in less than ten minutes, we will be at least torn to pieces by you. If you want to die, don't drag us to die with you.(To be continued...)
